Facing Xihe's gaze, Yang Yunxi smiled slightly, and didn't need to flash: "Since that's the case, that's the best." Then let Xihe sit: "Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?" ”

Xihe just said it truthfully.

"The Queen Mother is not in good health, so you go to serve more on weekdays." Yang Yunxi's chin rose slightly, and the corners of his lips also rose. With a bit of command: "The Queen Mother values you, feels sorry for you, and asks you to come back to the palace, you don't have to live up to her old man's heart." Besides, if you take good care of the Queen Mother, the emperor and I are also happy, and we will remember your merits. ”

Yang Yunxi's tone is not at all different from the identity of the concubine.

Xihe's face didn't move, but the hand hidden in his sleeve tightened slightly. But she still deserved to be respectful on her face: "Yes, the concubine remembered the teachings of the concubine Niangniang." ”

After a pause, Xihe asked again: "The emperor is in poor health, and the concubines are worried, I don't know if I can visit the emperor?" ”

When Yang Yunxi heard this, he sneered in his heart: Xihe didn't suffer at all.

But thinking about it in her heart, she suddenly avoided Xihe's gaze on her face, and deliberately only stared at the primrose embroidered on her skirt, but her tone was faint at the end: "The emperor is in poor health and doesn't want to see people, so I can't do anything about your request, concubine." ”

Xihe raised his eyebrows, and he was just sorry: "That is the case, the tired concubine Niangniang conveyed to the emperor for me, and said that the concubine gave the emperor a greeting." ”

Yang Yunxi didn't look at Xihe, nodded slightly with a tight chin, and then changed the topic: "By the way, Concubine Shu, you braved the rain all the way back to the palace, and you were tired when you thought about it, I won't keep you any longer, go back and drink a bowl of ginger soup, you can rest, and go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye tomorrow." ”

Xi and Zi also did not stay for long.

After Xihe left, Yang Yunxi washed up and went to bed. When she lay down on the couch, she leaned her waist on the soft pillow, and she couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction. Then she glanced at Lan Sheng and Sui Mei, and asked the two of them with a smile: "Do you think Xihe has changed?" ”

Lan Sheng spoke quickly, and he didn't hide it, and he was stunned and said the words from the bottom of his heart: "Why hasn't it changed?" It became annoying more and more. ”

Sui Mei couldn't hold back, and almost laughed out loud, but although she didn't laugh out loud, she laughed in the end, and her tone was not so serious: "Slave and maid, look at it, for more than a year, Concubine Shu is afraid that she has had a very good life." People look more radiant than when they left the palace before. ”

Yang Yunxi nodded, touching his stomach without a match, "I think it's a good time." I admire her a little, she was degraded out of the palace, and she has such a good attitude, and she also let her follow the opportunity and come back. In contrast, I am much worse. It's not as good as scheming, and it's not as good as being ruthless. ”

Sui Mei wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't say it from the bottom of her heart.

Lan Sheng said, "If it weren't for this, how could she lose her holy will?" Otherwise, why does the emperor only like you, master? ”

Sui Mei carefully touched Lan Sheng's words, but suddenly felt that it made sense.

Yang Yunxi glanced at Lan Sheng and said with a smile: "You can." Don't you want to think about it, now that the emperor is not protecting me, I can't say that I will lose my life by her calculation? ”

At this time, Lan Sheng was completely annoyed, and boldly glared at Yang Yunxi, but complained: "Why does the master open his mouth and can't die?" Not a taboo? What kind of thing is a concubine? Where can I compare to you? ”

Sui Mei also opened her mouth: "Why does the master say such frustrating words? With so many people to help him, he will not lose. ”

Yang Yunxi smiled, stopped continuing the topic, and asked again: "Then what do you think I did to her like this today." Is she annoyed? Do you want to press me? ”

Sui Mei nodded: "The slave secretly looked at my concubine's expression, and felt that she must be unhappy." ”

In fact, just thinking about it with your brain can't be enjoyable.

"Then I'll just wait for her to make a move." Yang Yunxi chuckled a smile, but his eyes were gradually cold. Today's attitude of hers is deliberate. Not only today, but tomorrow she will also prepare a big gift for Xihe-

On the second day, Yang Yunxi went to Xihe and handed a sentence: "The emperor said that Concubine Shu has returned to the palace, and the Queen Mother values it, so he allocated the courtyard behind the Queen Mother's palace to Concubine Shu to live." ”

Xihe lived in the original palace yesterday, but now she has no official palace.

Xihe's grade is naturally enough to be the lord of the first house. But now such a sentence is really a slap in the face: Now the courtyard behind the Queen Mother's palace was originally for the palace people to live.

But Yang Yunxi borrowed Zhu Li's meaning, even if Xihe hated it in his heart, he could only do it - otherwise what could he do?

The faces of the palace people around Xihe were also a little ugly, and some people couldn't help but hug for Xihe: "Isn't Niangniang going to see the Queen Mother?" Why don't you mention it? ”

Xihe let go of his clenched fingers, picked up the ivory grate and brushed his hair: "In this matter, no one will say a word, I will go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, you just hurry up and move the cage over, don't delay." ”

When Xihe met Empress Dowager Li in the past, Princess Zhaoping was already there. is serving the Empress Dowager Li with breakfast.

Empress Dowager Li's breakfast was very simple, a bowl of porridge, a plate of steamed dumplings, and a few vegetarian dishes, but it was gone.

Xihe respectfully knelt on the ground, bowed to the Empress Dowager Li, and even his voice was a little choked when he opened his mouth: "The concubine asks the Empress Dowager to be safe, and I wish the Empress Dowager good health." ”

Empress Dowager Li swallowed the dumplings in her mouth, and then said lightly: "Get up." ”

After Xihe got up, he greeted Princess Zhaoping again.

Princess Zhaoping just said "um", and her attitude could be said to be directly on her face. didn't even give Hee a single one.

Hee and the embarrassed fingertips were clenched white. It's very reluctant to maintain the look on his face. But all the while, she never raised her head—she was afraid of seeing the sarcastic eyes of the other palace people.

That gaze was like a red-hot iron rod, mercilessly burning one scar after another on her self-esteem. It hurts her so much that she can't bear it.

It's not like Hee-hwa hasn't thought about what it will be like to come back, but even so, so what? She's still not reconciled, she still wants to come back!

"Let the concubines come to serve the queen mother. I haven't served the Queen Mother for many years, and now I want the concubines to do their filial piety once-" Xihe lowered his head, even though he tried his best to make his voice sound calm, he still couldn't hide the slight embarrassment and trembling.

Princess Zhaoping glanced at Xihe, and said angrily: "The Queen Mother is fine, but you are unlucky to say this." ”
