The fireworks in the sky to celebrate the birthday exploded in the night sky, and the entire Jinling City was as bright as day.

During the war, Xin Wei heard a faint movement of broken porcelain outside the side room, but it was covered by the sound of fireworks, and she couldn't really hear it.

She wrapped the quilt around her body to ward off the cold, and walked barefoot to the door to listen.

At this hour, the palace banquet had ended, and the sound of fireworks had gradually faded, and she saw a clear picture reflected in the doors and windows of Concubine Hui's bedroom through the window.

The figure held up a bulging belly, holding a porcelain vase high, and someone worked hard to stop it, and finally there was a bang.

It seems that something terrible happened at the banquet, which made Concubine Meng Hui angry.

Xin Wei tiptoed back to the bed. It's none of my business, I have to get some sleep.

As soon as she lay back, the door of her room was pushed open, and two maidservants came to "invite" her to go.

The maidservant's movements were very rude, and although Xin Wei was very cooperative, the two maidservants escorted her out without waiting for her to put on her shoes and socks.

The matter came unexpectedly, Xin Wei couldn't guess why, and knelt down in front of Concubine Meng Hui very familiarly.

Concubine Meng Hui took off her long golden armor and pinched her chin to make her look up.

"You used to spend a few months with Liu Qingshu in Biluo Palace, you should know who she is?"

Liu Qingshu?

Xin Wei immediately understood, Liu Qingshu avoided it a while ago, and today at the eldest princess's birthday banquet, Concubine Meng Hui finally saw Liu Qingshu and saw a face that looked like someone.

Therefore, she was angry, and the emperor's favorite concubine Liu was because of this face.

Xin Wei said ashamedly: "It is true that we have been together for some time, but Concubine Liu is from a noble background, looks down on me as lowly, and disdains to deal with slaves and maids." ”

In fact, she is lying for every word.

Liu Qingshu was born in Jiangmen, and her family background can be regarded as noble, but she has never been high-minded, but she has warned Chu Ying and Xin Wei everywhere.

"Your concubine? Now it's Concubine Liu! ”

Hearing this, Xin Wei was shocked, the emperor actually made Liu Qingshu a concubine at the eldest princess's birthday banquet?

was promoted so quickly and with such fanfare, is this a grand favor, or is Liu Qingshu in the public scrutiny?

Aunt Qin persuaded on the side: "Niangniang should take care of herself, no matter how favored Concubine Liu is, how can she not compare to the eldest prince in Niangniang's womb, why take her seriously?" ”

Concubine Meng Hui let go of Xin Wei's jaw, pointed at Aunt Qin and said, "It's your fault, you say that she is not a climate!" Now she's on an equal footing with Hongu! Now, what do you say? ”

The slender armor pointed directly at the bridge of Aunt Qin's nose, Aunt Qin was stunned, knelt down on her knees, and said: "It's not an equal, Niangniang has a title, Concubine Liu doesn't, and she still respects Niangniang." So how can Concubine Liu compare to the long-term friendship between the emperor and his mother? ”

Concubine Meng Hui closed her eyes and listened, blaming Aunt Qin for making a big mistake.

"What about years of friendship, the living are not as good as the dead after all!"

"I thought it was two, but it was actually three, Cao Qing really tried to deal with me!"

It is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and draw the bones.

If Xin Wei is most like Jiang Qingyue's skin, Liu Qingshu is more like Jiang Qingyue's bones.

Aunt Qin knelt down and listened to Concubine Meng Hui's anger, scolding the queen from her to calling the queen by her name.

After many times of wanting to speak and stopping, she was finally forced to endure by her in the womb, and she did not persuade again.

Concubine Meng Hui vented, and when she was tired of scolding, she sat down on the mahogany Taishi chair covered with snow-white mink, looked at Xin Wei, whose face was about to touch the ground and trembled, and snorted.

"Aunt Qin, send a letter to my father and ask him to take care of the Liu family."

When Aunt Qin heard this, her eyes opened for a while, and after a while, she looked sideways at the dozen or so maidservants kneeling in the dormitory, her eyes stopped on Xin Wei, and said slowly: "What Niangniang said is right, the living are not as good as the dead, but it is not completely impossible to erase the dead from the heart." ”

"What's the method?"

Aunt Qin pointed her finger at Xin Wei and said, "If Jiang Qingyue is so servile, will the emperor still be worried?" ”

Concubine Meng Hui raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Auntie is confused, one Liu Qingshu is not enough, another Xin Wei?" What's more, Xin Wei's body is incomplete, I am afraid that it will displease the emperor. ”

"It is precisely because she has no skin that the mother can rest assured that she will not get the Sacred Heart." Aunt Qin said: "One stand-in is enough, Xin Wei's appearance is more like Jiang Qingyue, with Xin Wei, there is no need for Concubine Liu." But the hideous scars, the servile temperament, the emperor must be disgusted. ”

Such an outrageous idea was actually Aunt Qin's proposal, Xin Wei was surprised in her heart.

Although the draft has always had high requirements for the body, who knows if the emperor will care?

Concubine Meng Hui was silent.

After a long time, Concubine Meng Hui said, "Get out, get out." ”

-

Although Aunt Qin had not treated Xin Wei harshly before, she had not given her a good face.

Since the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Aunt Qin met Xin Wei in Yong'an Palace, and sometimes she would mention a few words in a good voice.

The palace people are used to looking at their faces, and they see that Aunt Qin treats Xin Wei with kindness, and she is also much more friendly.

One afternoon a few days later, Xin Wei was cleaning in the dining room alone, Aunt Qin came in to get some things, Xin Wei took advantage of the absence of others, and couldn't help asking, "Aunt Qin, have you been in the Meng Mansion for many years?" ”

Aunt Qin took the things and replied to her: "It's just taking people's money and making people slaves." ”

Xin Wei dusted off the dust on her body and stepped forward slowly.

"Will Meng Fu embarrass my aunt's family?"

"No," Aunt Qin said with a smile, "I was an orphan when I was sold into the Meng Mansion when I was a child, and I haven't started a family yet, where can my family be embarrassed?" ”

I have nothing to worry about, just think about myself.

Speaking of this, Xin Wei understood in her heart, and asked again: "When did my aunt make this plan?" ”

"When you first appeared in Yong'an Palace."

Xin Wei remembered that it was the first time she arrived in Yong'an Palace, and after Concubine Meng Hui saw her face and wanted to kill her, Aunt Qin cleverly persuaded Concubine Meng Hui to let them go, it turned out that she was leaving a way out for herself at that time.

Aunt Qin said frankly: "I just thought about it, and I didn't dare to really turn my back, after all, behind Concubine Hui is Meng Da Sima, but ......"

But Concubine Meng Hui is really stupid, acting radically and recklessly, easy to leave a handle for others, and arrogant and conceited, like the black patent leather lamp, which is not transparent to the light.

As a slave, who doesn't want to be a virtuous master?

Xin Wei repeated what she said: "But behind her is Meng Da Sima." ”

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "I believe in the girl more." ”

"I'm afraid my aunt will look down on me."

"It's worth watching."

"Why?" Xin Wei asked curiously.

Aunt Qin stared at her: "I have been open and honest, but the girl is still hiding her needs, I'm afraid that the girl will not look down on me?" I also have some doubts about the girl, can I ask? ”

"What does Auntie want to ask?"

"The girl is delicate and noble, why do you call herself from a poor background and a rough person?"

Aunt Qin spread out her calloused hands and said, "Concubine Hui doesn't know what a rough hand looks like, but I know it, I just entered the Meng Mansion a few years ago, and I did chores for two years, so I became like this, no matter how carefully I raise it in the future, these traces will not fade." ”

Although Xin Wei has scars on her body, the skin of her hands is as soft as cream, which shows that she has never been tired, and she has never been frozen in winter.

What kind of rough girl can raise her hands like this?

Xin Wei didn't answer, took a half step back, and bowed to herself.

"My aunt appreciates it, and I will report it in the future."
