When Du Qinyue got up in the morning, Xiu'er waited by her side as usual, Xiu'er was very skillful, and often gave Du Qinyue some ingenious hair buns, just like at this time.

Looking at Xiu'er, who was helping her pull her hair, Du Qinyue was a little reluctant, but it was only fleeting, because what she wanted to bring when she entered the East Palace was Qiqi, but General Du asked Xiu'er to be his personal maid on the grounds that Qiqi was not calm enough.

But now, Du Qinyue is still very satisfied with Xiu'er, after all, Xiu'er is indeed much more secure than Qiqi in comparison, and now it seems that if she wants to gain a foothold in the East Palace, she will have to bring a lively maid like Qiqi after all.

After freshening up, Du Qinyue took Xiu'er to Shen Huo's study.

Halfway through the trip, Du Qinyue saw Zijin who went to the dining room to get snacks with He Suoyi, and Zijin naturally saw Du Qinyue, although he didn't like this side concubine in his heart, but in order not to let people criticize He Suoyi, Zijin still respectfully stepped forward and saluted.

"The slave has seen the side concubine."

Du Qinyue is still very respectful to He Suoyi now, even if she is still a little dissatisfied in her heart, but now after all, the East Palace still respects He Suoyi, the crown princess.

And Zijin is the palace maid by He Suoyi's side, Du Qinyue is naturally not good at embarrassing Zijin in this public, so she said very kindly: "Miss Zijin doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

After seeing Zijin stand up, Du Qinyue asked again: "Miss Zijin, did you go to the dining room to get snacks for your sister?" ”

Zijin didn't want to deal with Du Qinyue, but when Du Qinyue asked, she couldn't help but answer, so she nodded and said: "Back to the side concubine, this is indeed for the princess of my family, the princess didn't have much appetite when she had breakfast just now, and the slaves and maids were worried that the princess was hungry." ”

Du Qinyue hurriedly said very anxiously: "That Zijin girl should be faster, if she is hungry, it will not be good for my sister." ”

Zijin looked at Du Qinyue's fake appearance, feeling a little disgusted, but it was not easy to show it, so he could only lower his head and said lightly: "The slave and maid that the side concubine said naturally knows, so she doesn't dare to delay for a moment, if the side concubine doesn't have an order, the slave and the maid will go back first." ”

Du Qinyue seemed to have the heart to say something more, but after listening to Zijin's words, she also said: "What is this thing that Miss Zijin said, you are the person next to your sister, how can this palace tell you." ”

This is a bit excessive, even if He Suoyi is fancy Zijin, Zijin is just a palace maid, and Du Qinyue's current identity in the East Palace can be regarded as a master, how can she not order her to be a little palace maid.

Rao is heart was angry, Zijin had no choice but to say respectfully: "The side concubine is serious, you are one of the masters of this East Palace, and the slave is just a little palace maid, what can't be ordered." ”

Du Qinyue seemed to know that she had said too much, and remedied: "Is it from this palace, I didn't pay attention to what I said for a while, Miss Zijin don't care." ”

Zijin hurriedly blessed Du Qinyue's body, and said with some trepidation: "Niangniang, the slave and maid dare not be it, the pastry in the slave's hand is about to be cold, and the slave and maid will go back to the east side hall first." ”

Du Qinyue was going to find the prince on this trip, so naturally she wouldn't waste too much time on Zijin, so she let Zijin leave first.

After Zijin left, Du Qinyue said to Xiu'er in a somewhat calm tone: "Xiu'er, have you seen it, our situation at this time is that even Zijin, the palace maid, doesn't take us to heart. ”

Hearing this, Xiu'er didn't have any other thoughts, so she just replied: "The more this is the case, the more Niangniang will be in a high position in the future, so that no one will despise Niangniang." ”

Du Qinyue was very satisfied with Xiu'er's answer, if Xiu'er complained with her, she would have to consider whether to continue to keep Xiu'er by her side, but Xiu'er's reaction was excellent, neither humble nor arrogant, but she thought very long-term.

In just a few words, he has already arrived in the study room of the main hall.

Xiu'er stepped forward to meet the guard at the door, first gave a salute to the guard, and then said: "This eldest brother, my mother-in-law came to find the prince for something, please report it to the eldest brother." ”

The guard also had eyes, and knew that although the side concubine was not very favored now, things in the future were too variable, and there was no need to take risks, so he said to Xiu'er: "Wait a minute for the tired girl and the side concubine, and the villain will go to inform His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After that, the guard turned to the door and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the side concubine Niangniang came to you, saying that she had something to discuss, and she is now outside the door of the study." ”

Shen Huo in the study was writing an excerpt for the emperor, and when he heard the words of the guard at the door, he put away the half-written fold in his hand, and said at the same time: "Let the side concubine come in." ”

The guard got Shen Huo's order, turned to Xiu'er and said, "Girl, you must have heard the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, so go in with your mother." ”

Xiu'er smiled at the guard and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

The guard was a little embarrassed by the laughter, and replied, "What is there to thank for this, it is just a matter of duty, and it is all as it should be." ”

Of course, Xiu'er also knew that her side concubine Niangniang was anxious to see His Royal Highness the Prince, so she didn't continue to delay, like a guard saying goodbye again, she turned around and walked to Du Qinyue's side, and said to Du Qinyue: "Niangniang, the slave maid will accompany you in." ”

Du Qinyue answered, and Xiu'er followed Du Qinyue to the study together.

The guard watched Du Qinyue step forward and reached out to help Du Qinyue push the door open.

Du Qinyue stepped forward, stopped in front of Shen Huo, saluted Shen Huo slightly, and said, "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Shen Huo raised his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite. ”

Du Qinyue also got up and said to Shen Huo: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine's father has sent a guqin in the past two days, and the concubine tried it yesterday, this guqin has a very good timbre, yes, the concubine wants to ask His Highness to move to the west side hall and play a song for His Highness, I don't know if it's good?" ”

Shen Huo replied with some rustiness in his tone: "The side concubine's kindness is understood by the palace, but there are a lot of trivial matters in the hands of the Japanese palace in the near future, and there is no extra energy, so I will talk about this matter in the future." ”

Du Qinyue nodded meekly and said, "Since this is the case, then the concubine body will not disturb His Highness, His Highness will be busy first, and the concubine body will go to sit with her sister for a while." ”

Shen Huo saw that Du Qinyue was willing to make friends with He Suoyi, and he was a little satisfied with Du Qinyue in his heart, thinking that if Du Qinyue and He Suoyi had a conflict in private, then he would definitely be towards He Suoyi, but in this way, Du Qinyue would inevitably not be dissatisfied.

Although Shen Huo didn't think about using Du Qinyue to get something from General Du, if he offended General Du because of the matter in the back house, it would be a bit more than worth the loss.

Du Qinyue saw that Shen Huo didn't mean to keep herself, so she saluted Shen Huo and said, "Then the concubine will go to the East Side Hall to find her sister, Your Highness, remember to take care of your body when you are busy." ”

Shen Huo motioned for himself to write it down, and then said: "You go, you can also look for the crown princess more in the future, she is a docile person, you can ask her if there is anything." ”

Du Qinyue listened to Shen Huo's words, agreed obediently, and then left the study with Xiu'er.

On the other side, after Zijin returned to the East Side Hall with the snacks in his hand, he said to He Suoyi in a very angry tone: "Niangniang, you don't know, on the way back, the slave maid ran into the side concubine Niangniang, and it seems that she is going to the study to find the prince." ”

He Suoyi listened to Zijin's words, and the hand that went to get the snack paused, and then said in a tone full of indifference: "What does it matter to me what she is going to do, if she wants to go to His Royal Highness the Prince, let her go, after all, her identity is now the prince's side concubine." ”

Zijin was a little unwilling to hear He Suoyi's words, and continued: "What does Niangniang mean by this, the slave maid just can't get used to her appearance, a little side concubine dares to be so unsightly, and what kind of slave and maid is the person next to you, she didn't dare to command, if it wasn't for the fact that there were a few palace people around at that time, I don't know what the side concubine would say." ”

He Suoyi naturally knows Zijin's temperament, although he is a little active, but he is not a person who makes something out of nothing, since Zijin has said this, if he wants to come to Du Qinyue's words, it is indispensable to carry a gun and a stick.

Then, He Suoyi said helplessly in his tone: "You, you, you won't avoid the side concubine on the road, why bother to confront her, you are not a calm personality, how can you talk about her." ”

Zijin knew that He Suoyi was facing him, but he still couldn't help but say: "Niangniang, the slave and maid you said know it, but the slave and maid are just angry, and she is just a side concubine who has just entered the palace, why bother to press people like this." ”

In fact, Zijin wanted to say something more, but Jinyu pulled Zijin, and the two had been together for so long, Zijin naturally understood that Jinyu was asking him not to say any more, so he didn't continue.

A few people said some trivial things in the palace, and just when He Suoyi instructed Zijin and was about to rest for a while, a palace maid came in at the door and said: "The slave maid has seen Niangniang, Niangniang, and the side concubine Niangniang has now arrived at the door, saying that she is here to chat with Niangniang, I don't know if Niangniang will see it." ”

Listening to the palace maid's words, Zijin turned his head to look at He Suoyi, who was a little impatient on his face.

This is not to say that He Suoyi can't see Du Qinyue much, it's just that He Suoyi has had the habit of taking a nap since he was not in good health, and he has never stopped every day, but at this time, Du Qinyue is here, and he will definitely have no time to rest today.

Even so, He Suoyi still looked kind when he looked at the palace maid, and ordered: "The side concubine is here, this palace is naturally a sister who wants to see her, you go and let the side concubine come in." ”

The little palace maid received He Suoyi's instructions, and after saluting He Suoyi, she turned around and walked outside the hall.

Zijin and Jinyu were both a little dissatisfied with Du Qinyue's arrival at this time, but after all, they were also masters no matter how they said it, and if the two of them had anything to say, it was just to say it in front of He Suoyi.
