Through the open window, Lin Guiren saw Xia Guiren passing by outside the window.

Originally, the relationship between the two of them was not good or bad, but they were not as-for-tat as others, so they only said hello lightly when they met in the past.

However, thinking of what he had just seen in the Imperial Garden, Lin Guiren couldn't help but open his mouth and instructed the palace maid on the side: "You go and invite Xia Guiren here, just say that I have something to tell her." ”

Looking at the back of the palace maid leaving, Lin Guiren began to think about how to talk to Xia Guiren about Fang Cai later.

A moment later, Xia Guiren brought his personal palace maid to Lin Guiren's room.

At this time, Lin Guiren's hair was also half-dry, so he pulled it up, and the remaining half of his hair was scattered behind him, looking a little lazy.

Seeing Xia Guiren coming in, Lin Guiren hurriedly got up and said, "Xia Guiren don't care, I just finished bathing, and I am indeed a little indecent at this time." ”

"What are these words, Lin Guiren? We're all women, so why bother. Xia Guiren's tone also seemed a little close, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just a gesture.

Sure enough, immediately after Xia Guiren asked, "I don't know what happened to Lin Guiren coming to me this time?" ”

Lin Guiren looked a little hesitant on her face, as if she didn't know whether to say it or not, and then she gritted her teeth and asked: "Just now, the palace maid in my palace went to the imperial garden to help me bring some petals, saying that she accidentally bumped into Xia Guiren talking to Concubine Shu, I don't know what Xia Guiren did, which attracted the attention of Concubine Shu. ”

"It turns out that what Lin Guiren wants to say is this, then just open your mouth, you hesitated so much just now, I thought it was a big deal."

It seemed that Xia Guiren didn't seem to understand Concubine Shu's style of acting, Lin Guiren was entangled in his heart, and then said again: "I don't know what you said to Concubine Shu, can you let me know?" ”

Xia Guiren said with an indifferent look: "It's that I've been favored a little bit these days, so Concubine Shuniang specially called me over, asking me to say a few more good words for the sisters in the harem in front of the emperor, don't monopolize the emperor's favor." ”

Although Lin Guiren didn't believe Xia Guiren's words in her heart, she had some doubts in her heart, Lin Guiren and Du Qinyue had already become people in the same boat, and she was worried that asking too many questions would arouse the other party's vigilance, so she had to give up.

Speechless for a while, Xia Guiren felt that it was too much time to sit like this, so he asked: "I don't know what else is going on with Lin Guiren, if there is nothing else, I am a little tired, and I want to go back to the courtyard to rest." ”

Lin Guiren looked very annoyed and said: "It's really my negligence, it's really nothing now, then Xia Guiren hurry back to rest, just now I suddenly remembered something, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope Xia Guiren is not strange." ”

"Could it be that in Lin Guiren's opinion, I just look like a small belly and chicken intestines, what is there to worry about these little things, who hasn't been distracted yet?" Xia Guiren seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lin Guiren's words.

Lin Guiren was wondering if Xia Guiren had already taken refuge in Du Qinyue just now, but he didn't have a clue, so he could only remind: "Xia Guiren, let me remind you more, if you can in the future, you should keep some distance from Concubine Shu, and be careful on weekdays, don't offend Concubine Niangniang." ”

Listening to Lin Guiren's words, Xia Guiren sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he asked with a somewhat puzzled look: "What does Lin Guiren mean by this, why should you be careful of Concubine Shuniang, I look at her very well?" ”

Lin Guiren knew that if the words were too obvious, it would easily arouse the suspicion of others, so he could only say: "How can we little people guess the thoughts of these high-ranking and powerful people in the harem?" I'm just reminding you that nothing will happen in the future. ”

"Okay, then I'll remember, I'll pay attention in the future, thank you for the reminder." Xia Guiren said such a sentence with great gratitude.

Seeing that the sky was a little dark, Xia Guiren spoke: "It's not very bright this day, I'll go back to the courtyard first, and Lin Guiren will rest early." ”

Lin Guiren didn't know what he just said, Xia Guiren listened to a few points, but he couldn't ask, so he nodded and said: "Xia Guiren will rest early after returning to the courtyard, please keep Xia Guiren in mind what I said just now, we have no grievances, and I don't need to harm you." ”

Seeing that Xia Guiren didn't want to say more, Lin Guiren also stood up and said, "I'll send Xia Guiren." ”

Xia Guiren pretended to shirk it, and then Lin Guiren sent her to the door.

Looking at the back of Lin Guiren going back, Xia Guiren's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything, but after entering the courtyard, he instructed the palace maid beside him: "You go to the palace of Concubine Shu, just talk about today's events, Lin Guiren seems to have noticed something, and asked Concubine Niangniang what should we do?" ”

In the Lanyue Palace, Du Qinyue didn't feel much surprised after knowing about this, after all, the imperial garden was a place where the harem concubines frequented, and it was not uncommon for someone to bump into it.

But after thinking about it, Du Qinyue said to the palace maid who was standing not far away with her head down: "You let Xia Guiren not have to worry too much, just do it as usual." ”

The palace maid blessed her body and saluted Du Qinyue, and said, "Then the slave maid will return to the palace like Xia Guiren first." ”

Xia Guiren breathed a sigh of relief after listening to what the palace maid conveyed to him, although he didn't think that Lin Guiren coped with it, but it was still a little tiring to act in front of the other party all day, and no one would want to change it.

I don't know what happened to Shen Huo, he rested in Xia Guiren's courtyard for three consecutive days.

The Queen Mother was a little dissatisfied after knowing this, so she asked an old lady next to her to mention Shen Huo.

In the Qianqing Palace, Shen Huo looked at the grandmother beside his queen mother standing in front of him, and asked with a little respect in his tone: "I don't know if the queen mother came this time, but what does the queen mother have to say to me." ”

That grandmother grew up watching Shen Huo since she was a child, so she naturally got a little close to him, so she slightly modified the queen mother's original stern tone full of blame, and said: "The queen mother thinks that the emperor has favored that Xia nobleman alone recently, and it is a little inappropriate to snub the other concubines in the harem, so you can let the old slave come and mention a few points." ”

Shen Huo nodded and said, "I have written down what the queen mother asked Mama to say, and I will take this matter to heart, I don't know if Mama has other things to say." ”

The grandmother said: "It's okay, since the queen mother asked the old slave to convey the meaning, the emperor has already understood, then the old slave will go back to the queen mother's palace first, so as not to be served by those people around the queen mother." ”

After Mama left, Shen Huo smiled bitterly, and then went to the courtyard of the Xia nobles in the Hehuan Palace.

Originally, when the grandmother told the Queen Mother Shen Huo's reaction after she went back, the Queen Mother's face had eased a lot, and she was letting the grandmother pinch her shoulder, but in less than a quarter of an hour, a palace maid walked in, and whispered beside the Queen Mother: "The emperor has gone to the courtyard of the noble man in the Hehuan Palace at this moment." ”

The Queen Mother's face changed at that time, she stroked the hand that the grandmother was squeezing her shoulder, and asked sharply: "Is this what you said to the mourning family, did the emperor remember the words of the mourning family, when did you become so bold?" ”

Listening to the Queen Mother's questioning, Rao is grandmother has been by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, and she can't help but be a little scared in her heart, and said in an unsteady tone: "This old slave doesn't know, the emperor is only in front of the old slave,

It is indeed said that he remembered the words of the Queen Mother, and he will pay attention to it in the future. ”

The Queen Mother was about to say something more, but the eunuch at the door came in and said that the Queen Mother had arrived, and was waiting at the door for a summons, so the Queen Mother first asked He Suoyi to come in, and then said to the grandmother: "Let's calculate this account today after Ayi leaves, and you'd better come up with a reasonable explanation for the mourning family." ”

When He Suoyi walked in, the queen mother's face no longer had the displeased look on her face, but He Suoyi still noticed a slight difference, and asked very intimately: "The concubine looked at the queen mother's face a little wrong, but what troubles did she encounter?" ”

The Queen Mother was a little eager to speak and stopped, she was afraid that this matter would affect the relationship between her and Shen Huo in the future, but after thinking about it, the Queen Mother understood again, the emperor favored a small nobleman in the harem, how could this matter not reach the ears of He Suoyi, the queen.

Looking at the Queen Mother's somewhat hesitant face, He Suoyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "The Queen Mother is worried about the emperor's exclusive favor of Xia Guiren?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled helplessly, then took He Suoyi's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said with some comfort in her tone: "This matter is indeed something that Xun'er did wrong, and the mourning family is not partial to him, but the grandmother who was next to him has already gone to him to pass the word, but he is still in the courtyard of the nobleman, and I don't know what he thinks." ”

"It's rare for the emperor to treat a woman like this, the queen mother should not blame him."

While the two were talking, Shen Huo ran in, the Queen Mother frowned, and was about to scold the palace people at the palace gate for not spreading the word, Shen Huo opened his mouth and said: "Queen Mother, Xia Guiren is pregnant." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Huo's appearance, and her face suddenly became even more ugly.

Seeing the Queen Mother like this, Shen Huo was a little surprised for a while, what he said was obviously good news, why was the Queen Mother's face so ugly?

Following the Queen Mother's line of sight, Shen Huo also saw He Suoyi sitting on the other side, and his expression was a little embarrassed for a moment.

He Suoyi stood up casually and saluted Shen Huo.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

Shen Huo stepped forward to help He Suoyi up, but He Suoyi dodged his outstretched hand, stood up by himself, and then stood beside the Queen Mother with his head down, and did not continue to sit down in Fang Cai's position.

Shen Huo didn't know what to say for a while, and looked at the Queen Mother with some help in his eyes.

The Queen Mother ignored this, and even looked forward to what He Suoyi could do to make Shen Huo even more embarrassed.
