Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 60 Please enter the urn (three)

At the corner, Xia Qiuling suddenly heard the discussions of several maids.

"I heard that the Queen Mother was forced by Qi Guiren to teach Xia Guiren a lesson."

"Isn't it true, Qi nobles are chewing their tongues in front of the queen every day."

"This Qi noble person really has enough eyes, didn't she push the prince of our concubine Ruan before she was gone?"

"It's not honest now, Xia Guiren was offended by her?"

"Fortunately, Xia Guiren came to our palace, and only we, Concubine Ruan, can protect her."

Several maids were filled with righteous indignation, spoke in high spirits, and muttered something irrelevant before they dispersed.

Xia Qiuling listened and clenched her fists little by little.

Who is this noble lady, why do you have to live with her?No wonder the queen treated her like this because she was bullied by a slut.

Xia Qiuling asked Xiaoli and Xiaoping next to her, "I heard from them, this noble person, Qi, pushed the concubine Ruan?"

Xiaoli said in surprise: "Have you never heard of such a big thing, little master? Concubine Ruan has been crying for a long time, and because of that, Qi Guicai was demoted. She was originally a concubine."

The news of this matter was probably suppressed by someone. It was true that Concubine Ruan had never been heard of being pregnant outside the palace, and there was no discussion about Concubine Qi being reduced to a nobleman. Therefore, Xia Qiuling didn't know who Concubine Qi was. .

However, when it came to being a concubine before, Xia Qiuling knew that there were not many concubines in the palace, and that was not the daughter of the minister's family, Qi Yue.

This bitch, who harmed her like this, and also hurt Concubine Ruan, is really vicious.

Xiaoli supported her and said, "Little Master, you can discuss anything with Concubine Ruan, she is very good."

Xia Qiuling asked, "What is the relationship between Concubine Ruan and the Empress?"

Xiao Ping hurriedly replied: "Which queen have you seen who can get along well with the favored concubine? We, Concubine Ruan, are so favored, how can we get close to the queen."

"That's right, it's all about being kind on the face." Xiaoli echoed, "You see the noble lady Qi befriending the queen, and noble lady Qi pushed our empress into a small child. Can our empress not hold grudges?"

Xia Qiuling thought to herself, it seems that she does have a common enemy with Concubine Ruan.

But how can concubine Ruan accept and trust her? -
After getting along for a few days, Xia Qiuling found that Concubine Ruan treated her very warmly, but she was so distant that she obviously did not regard her as her own.

Xia Qiuling can't sleep at night, she is not afraid of death, she is afraid that the queen will come to trouble her every day, and then she thinks of another thorn in the queen's eyes, Concubine Ruan, she will be able to live a good life, very arbitrary, it seems that this The thighs must be hugged.

When Xiaoli was peeling walnuts for her, she inadvertently said: "Ms. Ruan Fei trusts Xiaotao the most. There are so many people in Zhaochun Palace, and Niangniang treats Xiaotao best."

Xiao Ping echoed: "During the time when Niangniang gave birth, Xiaotao pointed at Qi Guiren in public, how brave. Niangniang hated Qi Guiren the most. If Xiaotao did this, Niangniang could not be nice to her?"

Xiaoli said proudly: "Then Qi's nobleman, so what if the queen protects him, he hasn't been demoted yet, the concubine Ruan is not so easy to bully."

Xia Qiuling was thoughtful.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend. If she also does something to the nobles, won't Concubine Ruan treat her as an ally?
She has already offended the queen, is she afraid of multiple Qi nobles?
Xiaoli said again: "That Qi Guiren is really not a worry-free thing, and she is very delicate, and she is allergic to apricot pollen. At that time, a maid accidentally spilled apricot pollen on her arm, causing a rash. She changed the method and forced the maid to death."

"Don't leave a scar, what about it?" Xiao Ping pointed to a few apricot blossom trees outside the gate of the temple, "This season is all apricot blossoms, so please don't go out."

Xiaoli laughed and said, "How can she not come out? She is the most restless. Every day she goes to the Qianhe Pavilion in the Imperial Garden to sit and sit."

Xia Qiuling looked at the blooming apricot tree outside the door, and her eyes flickered.
-
I heard that Xia Guiren picked a basket of apricot flowers and spent a few hours grinding out a pile of powder. After dressing up carefully, Xiaoli accompanied him to the imperial garden.

Xiaotao said with emotion: "This is what Concubine Ming said, Xia Guiren with great means?"

Ruan Wei carefully painted Kou Dan on her nails and said with a smile, "It's all because Xia Guiren knows almost nothing about the situation in the palace. This at least confirms that Xia Guiren and Concubine Ming are really incompatible."

Xia Guiren is not stupid, she is forced to do nothing by the status quo. Her face injury has not healed, and the emperor does not want to look at her more.It was not until yesterday that her face had almost recovered, that the emperor smiled at her and couldn't wait to favor her.

The queen is still the queen, even if Xia Qiuling is like this, she is still subject to all the concubines and concubines every day.

Xia Guiren was forced to recognize the current situation. If she didn't find a strong ally to protect her, maybe her face would not be better for two days, and she would be asked by the queen again.

When Qi Yue started, she was also betting that her just face would make the emperor tolerate her, and that Ruan Wei would protect her ally.

"Niangniang suspected Concubine Ming?" Xiaotao said in surprise.

How can you not doubt that mouth fat came from Concubine Ming after all.Although Concubine Ming was always assisting when she cleared the queen's innocence in front of the emperor that day, there is also a possibility that she knew that the matter was exposed, so she completely cleared herself.

Xia Guiren was always the one who came out of Xiahou's side. As a gun, if something happened under the instructions of the master, Concubine Ming would easily be implicated.Therefore, Concubine Ming is also very likely to deliberately create the illusion of being evil with Xia Guiren. This illusion is beneficial to her.

Therefore, Ruan Wei had never given up her suspicion of Concubine Ming before.

However, Xia Guiren really moved Qiyue's hand, which definitely shows that Xia Guiren and Concubine Ming really have no breath, otherwise Xia Guiren would never be able to do such a thing.

Ruan Wei painted the last nail, and when it was placed quietly, the maid outside shouted: "Mother! Something happened!"

"Master Qi's face is ruined!"
-
Since Qi Yue's abdication, he has lived in Fang Concubine's Yongning Palace.

At this moment, Qi Yue was crying loudly in the side hall of Yongning Palace. The imperial doctor was by her side. She had used all the medicines that should be used.

Outside the side hall, Xia Qiuling knelt there, shedding tears of guilt: "My concubine just likes the fragrance of apricot pollen, and I wanted to share it with Qi nobles, but I accidentally spilled it, my concubine really didn't mean it! "

Yu Chumeng said amicably: "Since it is unintentional, this palace will not blame you."

Xia Qiuling was stunned for a moment, then raised her head incredulously.

Yu Chumeng smiled and said, "Get up, how cold it is to kneel on the ground."

What is there to blame for her? Xuan Wei will naturally handle this matter. She can be a peaceful peacemaker and watch the show, so she doesn't need to waste her words.

Xia Qiuling doubted her ears, and did not dare to get up from the ground.
