After Concubine Rong finished speaking, she added another sentence: "Think about it carefully before answering me."

Then I saw Xiaotuanzi in distress.

For a moment, Xie Zhao raised his face, looked at Concubine Rong seriously with moist deer eyes, and said in a low voice: "I miss you, and my concubine mother misses you too. Concubine mother just gave birth to a younger sister who can't come to see you, but she visits you every day." I'm thinking about Concubine Rong."

After listening to his words, Concubine Rong expected that a half-grown child would not lie to her, so many memories flooded her heart.Concubine Shu saved her twice, and the two had a life-threatening friendship. Speaking of which, she owed her two lives... At that time, when the two met, they wished to kill each other's enemies, and Concubine Shu could save her regardless of past suspicions. , it can be seen that she is not a vicious person who works on calculations.

The more I think about it, the more Concubine Rong resents the emperor.

It's not uncommon for a man in power to be ruthless... It's no fault of the emperor, he valued affection for the harem concubines and former ministers, but he valued the common people more.

But it was the Jiang family who led the troops to Beichuan.

Isn't this putting the two of them on fire?

Things got stuck here, Concubine Rong was extremely reluctant, feeling that she had lost a powerful backer, enduring favor, and... a rare close friend in the palace overnight.

"Is there anything I can talk about, everyone is laughing at me!"

The more Concubine Rong thought about it, the more wronged she became, her eyes turned red.

Xie Zhao became anxious: "Whoever laughs at Concubine Rong, my highness will never end with him! Concubine Rong is a concubine conferred by the emperor, who dares to shame you, concubine Rong, whoever you say, my highness will uphold justice for you "He took out the small handkerchief Jiang Xian had prepared for him, and wanted to wipe her tears, but his paws were held down, and Concubine Rong, who was cloudy with tears, glanced at him: "I wipe it myself. The palace is full of makeup."

Weeping in a hurry, still remembering the appearance.

"What do you give me to uphold justice? You are a little prince with no real power, so you just frighten the maids and eunuchs."

Xie Zhao: "I can sue my concubine."

Concubine Rong turned her face away: "I don't know that I have fallen so low that I want Concubine Shu to uphold justice for me. In terms of rank, I am still higher than her."

One sentence made Xie Zhao's eyes stare.

The women he usually comes into contact with, such as Jiang Xian, the queen and the queen mother...even the little princess Taihua, are well-educated, know how to advance and retreat, and are very reasonable. capricious mind.

"It's hard."

Xie Zhao let out a long sigh, resting his chin on his hands: "Concubine Rong is not here, so Concubine Mother is not smiling anymore, and Mammy said that Concubine Mother must be happy during confinement."

Hearing this, Concubine Rong was slightly moved.

She kept her door closed and saw no outsiders. Jiang Xian also didn't go out for a long time because of her daughter and confinement, so Concubine Rong made up her haggard and emaciated appearance, and thought that if she couldn't maintain a good mood during confinement, she might fall down long standing problem...

"I'm not angry, and if I want to be angry, I won't be angry with her,"

Thinking of this, Concubine Rong immediately became restless, and added: "I will go to see her in a while, please tell her not to think too much, and rest assured to sit on the confinement."

"Then when will Concubine Rong come to see Concubine Mother?"

Xiaotuanzi looked up at her eagerly, pitiful and cute.

Concubine Rong's heart softened when she saw him, and she thought of the legendary Jiang Xian who wanted to lose weight, and wanted to see her even more, but she pursed her lips: "Now I am going to Bihua Palace. Said that this palace asked Concubine Shu for help, and begged her to intercede with the emperor."

"Who said it?"

"Those people in the harem."

"Does Concubine Rong care about them?" Xiaotuanzi asked back: "If there are concubines in the harem who are more noble than Concubine Rong, then only Concubine Rong is the one who won't laugh at you."

That's right, she was named a noble concubine at the beginning, enjoying the honor of being congratulated by princesses, concubines and wives.When she was domineering in the harem in the past, did she ever think about what people with low status think?
When they saw her, they all wanted to bow their heads to her.

Maybe they won't try their best to please her, please her, and fear her natal family.It is true that the Rong family no longer holds power under one person and over ten thousand people, but she is still the imperial concubine personally appointed by the emperor, and there is no change in the slightest.

"you're right,"

Concubine Rong lowered her eyes and narrowed her eyes: "Qiutang, take the eldest prince to sit in the main hall for a while."

"Concubine Rong..."

"I haven't seen Concubine Shu for a long time. Before going to visit, I have to make up a little bit to be polite."

Concubine Rong's chin was raised slightly, and her thin face was still full of pride and dignity.

Xie Zhao showed joy.

"But there is no need to serve the eldest prince with dessert." Concubine Rong glanced at him, and pinched his little fat face with her long-nailed hands: "You climb over the wall and crush the orchids in this palace, and then eat them." Go down, when you come back next time, I'm afraid you're going to smash a hole in the courtyard of this palace..."

She paused, her red lips curved slightly:

"Ah, then there is a new pond ready-made in this Palace. Well, let's give the First Prince some more refreshments."

Concubine Rong walked away calmly.

Xie Zhao was left alone on the spot, turning his head to look at Qiutang in a daze: "... Aunt Qiutang, am I fat?"

Because the prince has riding and archery lessons, unless he deliberately feeds them high oil and sugar, the children will not gain weight. Xie Zhao has never been lazy in riding and archery lessons, and he has practiced the lines that a young man should have early on. From any point of view, it is not fat.

Only Concubine Rong, who likes to bully children, would call him fat.

"Your Highness, what the empress says, the servants will think what it is."

Qiutang covered his aching conscience and said: "Your Highness, please come with your servant, and this servant will serve you some snacks."

After a while, the table was filled with exquisite snacks produced by the small kitchen of Zhaoyang Palace, all of which were Xie Zhao’s favorite flavors—the noble concubine didn’t like dim sum, and he used to be a guest at Zhaoyang Palace, only the eunuchs in the small kitchen had the chance Show off your skills and make some snacks, so the small kitchen of Zhaoyang Palace knows what His Royal Highness the First Prince likes to eat.

What's more, when Concubine Rong ordered to go down, she also named to make the taste that the eldest prince likes.

Even if they broke up with the emperor, the special treatment from Zhaoyang Palace has never been deducted, and the white sugar, which is very expensive for Yanchi people, is also given in full.

After Concubine Rong came out after dressing up, she found that the dim sum was almost intact, so she raised her eyebrows and said intentionally: "Sure enough, after my palace lost power, His Highness didn't even bother to eat dim sum from Zhaoyang Palace. "

"It's obviously Concubine Rong who said I'm too fat!"

"What's wrong with being fat? It's your luck to be fat."

Xiaotuanzi snorted angrily: "This blessing is for Concubine Rong, do you want Concubine Rong?"

He knows that women love to be slim.

However, this time he met not the reasonable Jiang Xian, but the unreasonable imperial concubine.Seeing that the child dared to talk back, Concubine Rong pinched his face for a while as dough, until it was flushed red, and then ordered: "Pack up these snacks and bring them back to Bihua Palace to eat, if you don't finish eating It's just not giving me face."
-
The news that Concubine Rong was going to Bihua Palace disappeared in the harem.

As she expected, some people immediately thought that Concubine Rong was asking for help.

Concubine Shu has children and loves her. Originally, her only weakness was that her natal family was not strong enough. Now that her cousin has made great military achievements in the previous dynasty, if she asks for mercy, she should also have great weight with the emperor.

Guo Xiaoyi snorted coldly: "Since I can visit Concubine Shu at the door, she must be in good health. I can't hide from tomorrow's greetings!"

……

Lu Ronghua listened quietly, and sneered: "If I were Concubine Shu, I would just close the door and let her wait outside, why bother with her? How many people expect her to fall? The empress wants to win a good name, so she defends her everywhere. I think that when the imperial concubine is in power, I may not think highly of the empress. Why bother..." She paused, with excited malice in her eyes: "Go and inquire, Concubine Shu has seen her ?"

……

Concubine Zhang Xian lives closest, and she also has eyeliner to watch the movements of the noble concubine.

In the harem, she also established herself as a virtuous person, and she also looked forward to being promoted. Seeing that she was no better than Jiang Xian in terms of doting, merit, and children, then when another noble concubine was demoted, wouldn't there be room for her?

Having said that, Concubine Zhang Xian didn't want to do any petty tricks.

To bring down the imperial concubine does not necessarily mean that she becomes the second imperial concubine.

But if she doesn't make trouble, she is a quiet and obedient concubine in the eyes of the emperor, and she is indispensable for rewards every year.

……

The friendship watched by the six palaces, like an apple exposed to the air, quickly deteriorates.

After a while, the little eunuch sent by Lu Ronghua to inquire about the news came back panting, with a disturbed expression on his face:

"Returning to your mother, when Concubine Shu heard that the noble concubine was visiting, she went out to greet her in person regardless of the mother's advice."
