Tibetan beads

In this matter, Xu Yin always felt that there was a link that was missing.

For example, why is Concubine Liu so sure that after she kills the queen, Yan Cheng will help her ascend to the throne?Why was Yan Cheng more shocked than angry when Concubine Liu's plot was exposed?There is also Liu Xi'er, who still picked Yan Cheng out in the end.

The queen is in the game, some things may be disturbed by emotions, but she will not.Be it Yan Cheng or Liu's, the two of them did not turn their backs in the end, and it could even be said that they shielded each other.

Coupled with Liu Xier's cousin, they must have other ties!
Otherwise, after the death of Mrs. Zhao Guogong in the previous life, why did the Yan brothers turn against each other?With Yan Ling's temper, Yan Cheng might have played a shameful role in it.

The expression on Concubine Liu's face was distorted for a while.This year's cleansing is tantamount to tearing off her face and shattering all the previous arrogance and dignity.These teachers and wives did not torture her, but this kind of life itself was a kind of torture for her.

Every day is not chanting scriptures and worshiping the Buddha, or going to work in the fields, even eating by yourself, all material desires are suppressed, and the mind gradually becomes numb... She sometimes thinks that those pampered days seem to be a thing of the previous life, At this time, under Xu Yin's deliberate provocation, her emotions were exposed in this way.

After a while, she realized that she still had a secret that could not be known by others. She reluctantly picked up the unfamiliar skills and put a smile on her face: "I see, congratulations to Princess Jin..."

Xu Yin smiled: "Thank you, Concubine. Such a good deed, let you be happy. Xiaoman, give the concubine the jujube cake."

"Hey!" Xiaoman replied crisply, took a small holding box from the palace man, and sent it to Concubine Liu.

"Toffee Concubine, please use it."

In the holding box, eight jujube cakes exuded a slight sweetness, and the fragrance of red dates immediately brought back long-lost memories of Concubine Liu, and her stomach grumbled in due course.

She blushed, and when she saw Xu Yin wanting to laugh, she became even more annoyed that her stomach was not up to snuff.

Xu Yin held back his laughter and said, "I'm really sorry for delaying the meal of the empress dowager, so please use some of the empress, and take it as my apology."

These words relieved Concubine Liu's embarrassment, and she was really too hungry, so she finally agreed: "Thank you...Princess Jin."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of jujube cake and put it into her mouth as slowly as possible.In an instant, the sweet taste almost made her cry. How could she have liked this before, but now it is a delicacy that she can't even eat.

I heard Xu Yin say again: "The jujube paste cake in Yushanfang is not bad, but I am too tired of eating it. Fortunately, the empress dowager likes it, otherwise it would be a waste."

Concubine Liu: "..."

So she is a slop bucket for kitchen waste?
Concubine Liu's face contorted for a moment, and soon forced a smile again.The situation is stronger than people, so what can she do?
Watching her eat two, Xu Yin got up: "It's getting dark, I won't delay the concubine, I'll come back next time."

Concubine Liu hurriedly put down the pastry: "Princess Jin, please go."

Xu Yin nodded lightly, without dragging his feet at all, and just led the people away.

Concubine Liu watched the group of them leave the palace gate, still a little bit stunned.

Really go like this?Didn't say a few words, and left a plate of pastries...

Of course, the face of being slapped is still very painful, but if Xu San wanted to torture her, how could he only get three slaps?baffling……

Concubine Liu couldn't figure it out, but she smelled the scent of jujube cake again.Now that there was no one around, she didn't have to worry anymore, she grabbed another piece and stuffed it into her mouth eagerly.

It's delicious!It is much better than the multigrain steamed buns and hard pancakes she eats every day. It would be great if I could eat them every day.

Speaking of which, why didn't Ah Cheng come to see her?In the past, he was worried that things would change. Now that he has become a prince, shouldn't he take care of her aunt?

To Concubine Liu's surprise, Xu Yin came again the next day.This time she learned to be good, and she didn't speak rudely again, so she didn't get beaten.Xu Yin even invited her to drink soup together, and finally left a small box of crispy abalone.This food is also rare in the palace, usually low-ranking concubines can rarely eat it.

She didn't come on the third day, Concubine Liu was a little disappointed, thinking about the taste of crispy abalone the day before.Among other things, every time Xu San comes, she can have a real treat.

A few days passed, just when Concubine Liu thought she would never come again, Xu Yin came again: "There is not even a concubine in this palace, it is really too empty. After going to the Eastern Palace for several days, my sister-in-law would have to I despise me, after thinking about it, I'd better go to the concubine's place for a stroll. Your empress won't despise me, will you?"

Concubine Liu accompanied her with a smile: "How come? My place is too clean. It is a great honor for Princess Jin to be willing to come."

Xu Yin nodded, his eyes swept away, and the palace people immediately stepped forward, setting out various snacks and boiled water.

"Speaking of which, the concubine has been in Emperor Dezong's harem for more than ten years, so she should know a lot of old things, right? I'm bored today, why don't the concubine tell me?"

Concubine Liu looked at the table full of cakes, and with difficulty she looked away, and smiled: "What does Princess Jin want to hear?"

"Whatever, I'm just passing the time."

Concubine Liu thought for a while, and then talked about the fight for favor between Concubine Shu and Concubine De in the early years.

Gossiping, eating snacks, and drinking sweet honey water, she finally felt that she was alive.

……

"I heard that you go to Taiyuan Palace every day?" the queen asked casually while handling palace affairs.

Xu Yin was checking the military expenditure, when he heard the words, he replied: "Yes, I have nothing to do to go and have a look."

The queen asked, "How is Concubine Liu?"

"It's not bad. I've been working in the field every day, and it seems to be a little stronger."

The queen laughed, and asked tentatively, "Did she say anything nonsense to offend you?"

Xu Yin replied: "It was there on the first day, but it wasn't there after that."

So Xiaoman learned what Concubine Liu said that day.

Disgust floated on the queen's face, and she said, "This Liu Wuniang, I really didn't realize that she has such a low character. What kind of seed, she is also from a family, how can she be so vulgar?"

I don't know what she thought of. After saying this, she looked a little unnatural, so she missed the topic: "Forget it, don't mention her. I think you have been bored recently, why don't you ask Ah Qi to come to the palace to play? Then The girl likes you very much, and you can be regarded as a playmate."

Xu Yin laughed: "Mother still thinks that I am a child who needs a playmate? It's good for Ah Qi to come and play, but I have something to do every day, so it's not boring."

"then you……"

Xu Yin kept his composure, and brought the topic back: "Mother, what Concubine Liu did that day can be called ungrateful and ungrateful. You just shut her up and let her clean up. Is the punishment too light?"

The queen was silent for a moment, and then said: "You don't know, her sister has saved my life, for the sake of past affection, let her live."
