The concubine's brows moved slightly, and she quickly came to her senses and said with a smile: "That's what I said." Yesterday, I heard that Wan Chang was lost, and I was really anxious, and asked my maidservants to help me find it. ”

Mingzhu apologized in Xia Qingyang's ear in a whisper: "I'm sorry Niangniang, it's all because Mingzhu is not careful, so she was ...... by the concubine."

Xia Qingyang patted her hand with relief, and then turned to the concubine: "That's really bothering the concubine, I'm just going around the palace at will, and I don't want to alarm the people on the side of the concubine's sister." ”

Feel free to relax? The concubine sneered again and again in her heart. What about fools?

At that time, the people she sent out patted their chests and assured that the entire harem had been searched, and there was no trace of her presence at all.

It seems that there is a secret in this place.

Well, anyway, I already told the other concubines about this yesterday. I think they should talk about it in front of the queen today.

When the time comes, see what else she has to say.

"I see, it's best if there's nothing to do."

The concubine smiled softly, "Then I'll go first." My sister is coming soon, you know, the queen hates lates. ”

After speaking, she raised her hand and asked the person carrying the sedan chair to get up.

Mingzhu looked at the sedan chair and sneered slightly: "Look at her proud." Isn't it just a concubine, even many concubines don't sit in a sedan chair, she is special. ”

Xia Qingyang patted Mingzhu's head with a smile: "If you have the ability, don't chew the root of your tongue behind people's backs, say it to your face." ”

Mingzhu stuck out her tongue: "I don't have the ability." ”

"I don't have the ability. It's okay, your mother and I have the ability. Let's go, let you see and see. ”

-

Twenty minutes later. Xia Qingyang stood still in front of Empress Yin's bedroom, and made a triumphant gesture at Mingzhu, who was panting behind him: "I won!" ”

Mingzhu bent over and gasped: "This, this is unreasonable......"

Xia Qingyang actually ran faster than her, a maid who works every day, which is not scientific.

"What's unreasonable. Well, I'm still holding the two heaviest jewelry boxes, that's fair. Xia Qingyang pinched Mingzhu's nose lightly, "If you want to lose the bet, remember to make me loquat candy." ”

"Got it."

Mingzhu straightened up helplessly.

Loquat candy is one of her favorite snacks. In the past, Xia Qingyang had to eat a small half plate every day.

But since Xia Qingyang suddenly started to have a toothache one summer, Mingzhu began to strictly limit the "supply" of loquat sugar.

"It's already going fast, but we still seem to be a little late." Mingzhu looked at the far-reaching courtyard gate, and said worriedly in Xia Qingyang's ear, "What if I am scolded by the queen." ”

Xia Qingyang just wanted to tell her not to be afraid, but she saw a pretty figure walking out of the courtyard - it was Queen Yin's personal maidservant, Qiu Wei.

As soon as Qiu Wei saw Xia Qingyang and Mingzhu, she breathed a sigh of relief. After the salute, he greeted him warmly: "You are here, and the queen is waiting for you in a hurry." She was afraid that something would happen to you on the road, so she specially asked me to come out to greet you. ”

Mingzhu looked at Xia Qingyang with her mouth slightly open - the queen mother? Send a personal palace maid out to greet them?

Could it be that her mother-in-law really got close to the queen's mother in one day? No, isn't it, her stupid mother is finally enlightened, and she knows how to climb up?!

"It's called the queen to remember. I'm fine, it's just that I'm getting up late, and it's getting late. After Xia Qingyang finished speaking, he turned his head and suddenly saw Mingzhu looking at her with extremely moved and proud eyes, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Why did this girl look at her like this?

Qiu Wei: "Hey, she also thought of this queen mother, and said that you must not have slept too well." No, there is a tea soup specially prepared for you in the house, calm your nerves, please come in. ”

Xia Qingyang: "I'm tired." ”

While Qiu Wei turned around to lead the way, Xia Qingyang poked Mingzhu's head and signaled her to calm down, don't look like she has never seen the world.

She fully believed that if there were no other concubines at this time, her two good sisters would be able to run out to find her by themselves, regardless of their identities.

-

Xia Qingyang guessed too much.

Time rewinds to five minutes ago.

At this time, inside the hall. All the ladies have basically arrived and sat down.

What surprised them the most was that the one who arrived first today was actually the one who was afraid of the heavens and the earth!

Didn't she always give Queen Yin much face? Why did he suddenly change his temperament, and people seemed to look calmer?

The ladies turned their brains and quickly came back to their senses.

Oh! It must be because the emperor returned to the palace today! So even Concubine An Guifei wanted to pretend to be gentle and polite, and make the emperor happy.

Hmph, scheming!

"Ahem, sis. Other mothers are looking at you, don't shake it. Si Tao stood behind An Guifei and gently touched An Guifei's back, "Your Majesty, even if they leave this morning, they will not be able to return until late in the evening, and they will not come here now." ”

In a quarter of an hour, Concubine An had already looked in the direction of the door eight hundred times. No matter who looks at it, she looks like she is anxiously waiting for the emperor to arrive.

As everyone knows, Concubine An didn't think about that at all.

She glared at Si Tao, asked Si Tao not to say much, and then came to Queen Yin's side and asked in a low voice: "Why hasn't Qingyang come yet, could it be that he hasn't come back for too long, and he forgot where the place is." Why don't I pick her up? ”

Queen Yin: "She has a personal maid pearl to lead the way, and she won't go wrong." The main reason is that she lives far away, and it is estimated that there will be more delay on the road, don't worry. ”

"Far away? Where does she live? ”

Concubine An didn't pay attention to such an inconspicuous little Chang before at all, so she didn't remember where Xia Qingyang lived.

Empress Yin told her the direction, and Concubine An couldn't help but gasp: "Huh? How long will it take to come over, no, no, let my sedan chair pick her up. ”

Empress Yin held down the restless Concubine An: "You are obedient." Now that I'm back in the palace, it's no better than in other dungeons, so it shouldn't be too eye-catching. ”

"We weren't so close to her before, and we couldn't take care of her. Now that we are all here, how can we still let her be wronged? ”

"I didn't mean that......"

"Hey Sister Yin, you're just worried too much. It's all back to our territory, what are you afraid of? Concubine An snorted lightly, and a touch of pride flew between her eyebrows, "As long as you and I speak, who doesn't have long eyes dares to bully her?" ”

Empress Yin couldn't cry or laugh.

In fact, what she said should not be eye-catching, but she was really not afraid that Xia Qingyang would be too prominent among the concubines.

The concubine is good, and the fight is also a small fight.

I'm afraid that this "eye-catching" will provoke the emperor in front of him.

If you get too close to Concubine An or yourself, you will be seen by the emperor.

What if the emperor calls Qingyang to go to bed? Qingyang must be unwilling. What should I do then?
