Xin Wei arrived neither early nor late, and stood in the crowd outside the Taihe Palace, and after a while, there were people standing in front of her, left and right, and she could only see the towering hair of the palace concubine in front of her when she looked up.

Someone poked her in the shoulder, and she turned back.

"Chu Ying?"

Chu Ying's face is much better looking than when she was in Yong'an Palace, today she is wearing a pearlescent brocade with thousands of mountains and emeralds, a gilded hollow butterfly hairpin is inserted between her hanging laurel buns, and a pair of pearl earrings in her ears swayed gently with her movements.

has the appearance of the spring breeze when I first saw it.

Chu Ying saw that she was dressed a little thin in winter and was plain, and said earnestly: "You are also Jieyu, has the Internal Affairs Office treated you badly?" ”

Xin Wei shook her head.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not treated her poorly with food and clothing.

Chu Ying didn't dare to admit it when she was under pressure, and her eyes became more and more distressed.

"If there is any shortcoming, you come and tell me, and I will give it to you."

A sharp voice sounded from the side: "Yo, Chu Jieyu is strange and generous, is it good to enjoy the shade with her back against the tree?" ”

Xin Wei followed the voice and saw a completely unfamiliar face.

This woman is wearing a cloud brocade green feather cloak, holding a copper-colored peony and gold-patterned warm pot, her skin is as white as jade, and her lips are red like blood, especially beautiful and flamboyant.

Look at the auspicious clouds and five-tailed phoenix hairpins on this bun, which can only be used by palace concubines above Zhaoyi.

Chu Ying ignored it, and pulled Xin Wei to change her position to stand.

"This is Cao Zhaoyi," Chu Ying said in her ear, "She didn't dare to offend Sister Liu, so she came to trouble me." ”

Xin Wei had heard of Cao Zhaoyi.

Not long ago, Cao Jiaxin sent the queen's cousin to the palace, Cao Xinshu.

The queen fell ill due to the poison of the stew cup, and was diagnosed with a loss of qi and blood, and could not conceive, so the Cao family chose another beautiful cousin to send to the palace.

Cao Zhaoyi blocked their way again, and said sharply: "It's just that there is no etiquette in this palace, how dare you not hear when this palace talks to you?" ”

Zhaoyi is respected, Jieyu is humble, and the lowly person lost his manners in public, it is indeed Chu Ying's fault, if Cao Zhaoyi holds on to this matter, the consequences of this matter can be small or big.

Xin Wei hurriedly pulled Chu Ying to bow together, and said respectfully: "There are so many noisy people in Fang Cai, I didn't notice that it was Zhaoyi Niangniang for a while, and asked Niangniang to forgive her sins." ”

"Even if you know something," Cao Zhaoyi got a little face, looked at Xin Wei's face, and sneered, "You two are a little similar, are you sisters?" Since you are sisters, you should also mention Chu Jieyu, it is a trivial matter to lose the rules in front of the palace, if you lose your etiquette in front of the emperor and queen, you will be convicted even when the time comes. ”

Hearing this, the other palace concubines around them also looked over and whispered to their faces.

Liu Qingshu also walked over, and said unhurriedly: "What sisters are not sisters, they are not sisters in the harem, they are not sisters but also like sisters, so that they can get along in harmony and not worry the queen." Isn't Sister Zhaoyi thinking like this? ”

The concubine dress system is very easy to distinguish, and now there are only two concubines on the concubine seat, Concubine Liu and Concubine Hui, Cao Zhaoyi can know after a little thought, Concubine Hui has a heavy belly on the verge of childbirth, and this posture must be Concubine Liu.

These three similar faces also made everyone suspicious.

No one has ever heard of Concubine Liu and her sisters in the palace, is this face a coincidence?

Cao Zhaoyi has a lot of opinions about Concubine Liu, but after all, her position is one order lower, and she has heard that Concubine Liu is gaining the Sacred Heart, so she doesn't dare to make too much trouble in front of Concubine Liu.

She was worthy of a salute: "What Concubine Liu said is that the queen's sister also said so." ”

This has nothing to do with the queen, she just wants to move out of the queen, so that people must take care of the queen's face, and it is not easy to embarrass her.

Liu Qingshu smiled and took two steps closer to her: "The queen mother also taught the concubines not to cause trouble. ”

Cao Zhaoyi blushed.

After a few deliberations in her heart, she pointed at Chu Ying and said: "Concubine Liu Mingjian, Chu Jieyu pretended to be in the name of the eldest princess to show off in front of the emperor, tarnishing the wisdom of the eldest princess, it is really damned!" ”

Chu Ying was stunned.

thought that the matter had already passed, Xin Wei taught her in the name of the eldest princess, she did so, and indeed broke away from Yong'an Palace on this basis, and was sheltered by the emperor to come to Weiyang Palace, and the emperor did not investigate the truth of this statement, but it was exposed by Cao Zhaoyi in public.

Cao Zhaoyi pointed to the bridge of her nose and said, "Do you dare to say in front of everyone that you are really the eldest princess?!" ”

The blood on Chu Ying's face receded in an instant, her eyes were wide open, and she didn't know how to argue.

Cao Zhaoyi dared to say this, she must have learned about Chu Ying from the queen, before entering the palace, Chu Ying grew up in Junnan and never left Junnan, how could she get acquainted with the eldest princess?

How dare you swagger under the banner of the eldest princess?

Liu Qingshu stood in front of Chu Ying and said coldly to Cao Zhaoyi: "I'm afraid that you won't die, and you dare to inquire about the eldest princess, how about her being the eldest princess, isn't it?" ”

"Concubine Liu, I'm not inquiring, I'm sure she's swaggering in the name of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess! If not, I am willing to ask the emperor for sin! ”

Cao Zhaoyi's posture is about to stumble to the end.

At this moment, the palace concubines got out of the way, and Concubine Meng Hui walked here with her stomach held up with Aunt Qin's support, and when she got closer, she said: "This palace can testify that Chu Jieyu did lie." Chu Jieyu gave up her life to see the emperor, and many younger sisters have to learn a little. ”

Chu Ying's face turned red and white.

Being accused like this in front of everyone's eyes is tantamount to tarnishing her innocence, but she knows that she is wrong, and she can't defend herself.

She saw so many pairs of eyes looking at her left and right, despising her, so she had to bite her lip and let the tears fall.

Liu Qingshu held Chu Ying's hand and said coldly: "What does Concubine Hui mean, the emperor was blinded by a leaf and deceived by Chu Jieyu?" ”

Who dares to say that the emperor is blinded, isn't it an allusion that the emperor is stupid?

Concubine Meng Hui smiled: "If the emperor really believes that she is the person of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, how can he let her stoop to your Weiyang Palace and be a little Jieyu?" It's just the emperor's mercy. ”

Chu Ying thought about it, it was true, and the emperor didn't believe it, but the emperor was kind and didn't care.

The more I think about it, the more sad I become.

Liu Qingshu was anxious when she saw that Chu Ying was about to bite her lip and bleed.

Even if the emperor doesn't pursue it, even if the eldest princess doesn't care, how will Chu Ying behave in the palace in the future? Chu Ying was already cowardly, she couldn't stand things, and she didn't see blood when she killed people in such a shame, but she was afraid that she would ruin this weak woman.

Xin Wei whispered, "The eldest princess is almost here, you might as well wait." ”

After all, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the eldest princess will meet everyone in the Taihe Hall with the emperor and queen, and stay in the Fangfei Hall where she lived in the boudoir for half a month until the Lantern Festival.

Chu Ying didn't understand what Xin Wei wanted her to wait for, how could the eldest princess admit that Chu Ying was her own person out of nothing?

Waiting for the eldest princess to come over, will people see her jokes even more, and even be punished?

And now the doubts and disdainful gazes around her really ripped off her face inch by inch, making her hate why she was here.

Chu Ying really couldn't hold such humiliation, and when she wanted to leave and escape, she heard a shout: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has arrived!" ”

It's over, it's all over, Chu Ying thought to herself.
