"Guifei Niangniang, the queen is here."

Concubine Xi was lying lazily on the couch, eating grapes that had been peeled by the palace people with a silver fork.

Regarding Dong Huan's communication, she didn't seem to hear it at all, and only cared about gossiping with her own slave Qiu Xi, "This palace remembers that my father sent a few boxes of Dieyunxuan's gouache in the palace a few days ago, where are they placed?" ”

Qiu Xi said: "The mother said that the color was too white, and the lining was not good, so I asked the slave to put it in the dust box and seal it." ”

"That's a very expensive thing, what are you going to do with it? You go and get it, sweep the ashes on it, and the palace will borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and give it to the queen. She has a sallow complexion, and with such a good gouache to remove yellow gas, maybe the emperor will be willing to look at her twice. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dong Huan again, stretched out his hand, and said in a coquettish voice: "Serve the palace to put on makeup." ”

She tossed for half an hour.

The lonely queen was left alone in the main hall, and no one greeted her.

Xiangling saw that the tea in the queen's hand was cold, and she was indignant in her heart, so she reprimanded the servants standing at the door: "Don't you people in Yaohua Palace have long eyes?" Can't you see the queen mother's tea cold? ”

Let Xiangling scold, but the palace people standing at the door glanced at the palace deaf and unmoved.

Xiangling was even angrier in her heart, and couldn't help yelling at them, "I'll talk to you!" Are you deaf or dumb!? ”

She is the queen's family slave, and she is the palace maid in charge of Fengluan Palace, and she is said to be the most powerful palace maid in the palace, and she can reprimand anyone she wants.

But the queen said: "Xiangling, don't lose your senses." ”

As he was talking, Concubine Xi came.

She was dressed in a crimson peacock feather coat, and her hair was covered with countless jewels and jewels, shining as she went.

The makeup on her face is even more exquisite, and if you don't know, you have to think that she is going to a feast.

As soon as she appeared, she had a smirk on her face, "Why is Xiangling so angry?" Are the minions messing with you? ”

After sitting down, he saw that the tea in the queen's cup was cold, and pretended to say: "These minions are really getting more and more unruly, the queen is so easy to come here, you are still not good to serve?" If you neglect the queen, the palace is rude, where can you be tolerated? Go, come to rejoice, drag them down and take the thirty boards seriously, so as to set an example. ”

Lai Xi sighed, and shouted at the inner eunuchs to drag the two palace maids down.

They cried hoarsely and begged for mercy, and the queen raised her hand and said, "That's it, everyone has a time when they are not sober, so they will spare them this time." ”

Concubine Xi hurriedly smiled and said, "Look, it's still the queen's generosity." He looked out of the door with a phoenix eye, "Dead, don't you come in and thank you?" ”

The two palace people crawled and knelt in front of the queen and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

After they retreated, they listened to Concubine Xi again: "Niangniang hasn't come to sit in the palace of the concubine for a long time." When I greet my mother every day, there are many sisters, and I can't say a few words of self-consideration. No, I just prepared a gift for Niangniang and prepared to send it in person for a while, and Niangniang came. Quick, Qiuxi, bring the gift to the mother. ”

Qiu Xi held two boxes of gouache and respectfully handed them to the queen.

Xiangling took it and opened it to take a look, the pink of the gouache in it was too white, and it was about to catch up with the powder.

She didn't give Concubine Xi any good looks, and asked straightly: "The gouache of the concubine is so white, can we use it?" ”

Concubine Xi glanced at her, "That's what's wrong with you." This palace kindly gave a gift to the queen, you look at you, what are you talking about? The palace naturally thinks that the queen's skin is fair-skinned and better than snow, so she will give this good thing to the mother. Why, do you think the mother's complexion is not good-looking? ”

"You ......"

"Xiangling. The concubine is kind-hearted, and if you want to accept it, you will accept it. ”

It was the queen who opened her mouth, and Xiangling swallowed her anger and threw the gouache on the table next to her.

Concubine Xi smiled, "It's good if the queen likes it." ”

The queen said: "This palace came to you today, and I didn't plan to talk to you about detours." What is the form of the harem nowadays, you should see clearly. Concubine Chen is close to you, but she also has the meaning of surrendering to Shen Shen. As for Concubine Hui and Concubine Duan, their attitudes are already very clear. Not to mention the remaining nobles who have just shown their faces in front of the emperor. ”

The queen's concubine was confused when she heard this. Haven't the concubines in the harem always looked at the queen's mother? ”

When Concubine Xi said this, it was clear that she was watching the queen's joke.

She is smart, of course she knows that the queen is here today to win her over and Shen Ciwei to contend with her.

But today's queen has no family background, no favor, only a queen aunt who doesn't talk in front of Li Mobai, and her use value is not very high.

So even if she is the queen, her deterrent power in the harem is far inferior to that of her own concubine.

Even if they join forces, they will definitely not be attached to the queen.

The queen is also one of the few who does not beat around the bush, and directly said open words, "This palace knows that you have been fighting with this palace for so many years, and suddenly asking you to join forces with this palace seems like a joke to you, or you think that this is a choice that this palace has to choose after the mother's family loses power." You can think so, but you also have to find a way out for yourself. Haven't you seen how hard Shen Ci's wrist is? If this palace is completely down, then the next person who should be a thorn in her side will be you. ”

Seeing that Concubine Xi suddenly laughed, the corners of her mouth were clearly thinking about her words. Without waiting for her to speak, the queen continued: "You don't know yet, do you? Xue Guiren, she has it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xi's expression really changed greatly, "When did it happen?" ”

"Coming back from the Summer Garden. Shen Ci is worried that she can't sleep, and the emperor mostly summons her to go to bed, you don't know about this. In the harem, except for Shen Ciwu, she is the most beautiful. The news came from the Tai Hospital, she was pregnant, the fetus was unstable, probably because she was afraid that someone would make the wrong mind, so she didn't report it. When the emperor comes back and knows about this, her position is estimated to be a concubine, right? She has been attached to Shen Ci since she entered the palace, and now that both of them are pregnant, waiting for the child to be born in the next day, this palace and you, just wait to be humiliated by them on their heads. ”

Concubine Xi grabbed the corner of the table with her right hand, and the Sichuan character pattern was tightly formed between her eyebrows.

Shen Ci is worried, and Xue Yinhuan is also there.

She and the queen entered the palace almost at the same time, and she also experienced all the things that the queen experienced.

There were a lot of conflicts between her and Shen Ciwei in the past, and it was impossible to surrender to her.

At present, the power of Shen Ciwu is getting bigger and bigger in the harem, if she doesn't make a move, after the queen falls, the next unlucky person will inevitably be her.

After thinking carefully in her mind, she tentatively said, "So how does the queen want to cooperate with her concubines?" ”
