Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 204 Look down on me?

Before Huo Jiheng had time to deal with Tingfeng Pavilion, he was fettered by another matter.

The Longevity Festival is approaching, and the envoys from Beiling came to Daijin specifically for this purpose.

Not only Beiling, King Guli also sent a letter saying that Wanshou Festival will be celebrated with great wealth in the future.

This incident made Huo Jiheng a little uncomfortable. He was only 31 years old, so he shouldn't celebrate his birthday in such a grand way. It was obvious that Prince Li had some ideas.

"Are you saying that Prince Juli is here with the princess?" Huo Jiheng looked at Huo Jiting.

The younger brother looked at his elder brother and blinked. He watched the excitement and came closer without fear of trouble. He said cheerfully: "Brother, does this mean that Prince Li wants to dedicate the princess to you?"

Huo Jiheng looked at his younger brother coldly and said, "The skin is tight again, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Jiting became even more enthusiastic, "I'm not telling you, brother, when this concubine died, King Juli didn't even come, so why would he suddenly come to congratulate you on your birthday? Doesn't it arouse suspicion?"

Huo Jiheng replied coldly, "I can't take anyone into the palace."

"Oh, that's right! Even Concubine Sheng doesn't want to!" Huo Jiting was so nervous that she actually started Huo Jiheng's joke.

Then, Huo Jiting's tail that was sticking up to the sky was cut off by Huo Jiheng's eye knives.

"My brother talks too much, you should be beaten!" Huo Jiting was good at this. The scar was healed and he forgot the pain. When his brother quarreled with him again, he was so frightened that he was so frightened. Two days after the quarrel, he went his own way again, focusing on one Both timid and brave.

However, Huo Jiheng was also thinking about what to do if Na was really allowed to enter the palace.After a few days of hard work, the harem was clean. He didn't want to bring in another noble person. No one could guarantee that another man would be like Du Hanzhang. If he was more sinister than Du Hanzhang, he would not be worth it.

On Wanshou Festival, not only the former court but also the harem knew about the visit of envoys from the two countries to Dajin.

At this time, they were sitting in Jingren Palace, with different expressions on their faces.

"Empress, if this is true, there will be another happy event in the palace." Concubine De Gui said about the happy event, but there was no joy in her tone, and the strong smell of jealousy almost overflowed Jingren. palace.

The queen has never been in good health and rarely participates in harem affairs. However, no one except the queen is qualified to speak about this matter.

"It's all speculation now. The Emperor hasn't said anything, so don't think too much about it." The Queen spoke slowly.

Tong Zining couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid Beiling also has ideas. If some beauties are sent to me, the emperor will accept them even if he doesn't accept them."

Shengyi looked at this and then that, and felt that these women who were complaining were really busy.If a beautiful woman can come, it depends on whether the emperor can accept her. Even if the emperor accepts her, so what, if she is not familiar with the place, how can she become a beauty when she just comes?
"Concubine Sheng is still pregnant, how can you see such a thing?" Concubine De Gui used her kindness as a shield.

Sheng Yi pretended to be humble and said: "I don't need to mention my concubine. What matters is the thoughts of the empress and the concubine."

She doesn't want to be a shield. The baby is the most important thing. At this time, she can cause as little trouble as possible.

Tong Zining saw that Sheng Yi didn't want to get involved, so she shut her mouth and watched Sheng Yi talk intermittently.

"Okay, don't worry about it anymore, wait until Wanshou Festival." The queen couldn't worry about it. She had a headache even before she said a few words.

Everyone did not dare to disturb the queen anymore, so they retired one after another.

Concubine De Gui returned to Yuxiu Palace.

Sheng Yi waited for Tong Zining behind him to leave.

"Recently, you have been going to Zhaoyang Palace less often." Sheng Yi said softly.

Tong Zining suddenly felt embarrassed, "Well, Junti has been a bit troublesome recently, so I didn't go to Zhaoyang Palace to bother my sister."

"Really?" Sheng Yi turned his head and looked at Tong Zining, his voice rising.Obviously, Sheng Yi was very dissatisfied with Tong Zining's answer, "You and I, sisters, have never been separated since we entered the palace. I don't want to see the second Xuanque."

After saying this, Tong Zining's face suddenly turned red.

"No matter what time, you are my sister." Tong Zining did not take the initiative to say it, and she would not break the casserole to ask the truth. In the palace, she can understand the scheming, but don't have bad intentions, she does not want to lose Tong Zining as a friend .

The two were crossing a rockery.

At the corner, Tong Zining paused shyly.

After Shenyi took a few steps away, she realized that Tong Zining had not followed.

"Zi Ning?" Sheng Yi looked back at Tong Zi Ning.

Suddenly, with tears in her eyes, Tong Zining took a few steps and knelt in front of Sheng Yi.

"It's Zi Ning's fault. He shouldn't have reported Shu Gui to the imperial concubine!"

Sheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, it was Zi Ning.

"You, you, what can I say..."

After reprimanding her heartache, she kindly reached out to pull Tong Zining.

It was with these words that Tong Zining was able to clear up her doubts. Shenyi should have known about this for a long time.

"Sister, when did you know about this?" Tong Zining asked in a low voice, looking at Sheng Yi's unchanging face.

Sheng Yi gave her a faint look, "Since you appeared alone in Yuxiu Palace!"

Tong Zining's face turned even uglier, and she felt guilty, "Does sister look down on me?"

Sheng Yi looked complicated, "I just don't understand why you are like this?"

Tong Zining herself also regretted it, "I don't know how I could be like this."

Sheng Yi said quietly: "You have to ask yourself this..."

"Sister." Tong Zining called timidly.

After all, she couldn't bear it and Shengyi slowed down.

"Although Du Hanzhang's death was not caused by you, it was more or less related to you. At that time, Du Hanzhang and Shugui knew about it and refused to report it. It was certainly wrong, but if you really want to remind him, there are many ways. As for having to adopt this method without any retreat. Therefore, essentially, you are not the murderer, you are just a supporter. I just want you to remember the feeling that I will not kill Bole, but Bole died because of me." Sheng Yi patted his heart gently, with a sincere expression.

Tong Zining looked at Sheng Yi with gratitude, nodded repeatedly and said, "My sister will never be like this again!"

He looked at Tong Zining kindly and meaningfully, and said seriously: "Zi Ning, when we live in this palace, we must always remember two bottom lines: don't harm others, and don't be afraid of others."

Tong Zining nodded heavily.

"Since you are the emperor's concubine and the biological mother of the second princess, someone will pay attention to everything. If there is a trace of hesitation and selfishness, people with ulterior motives will make a fuss about it. At that time, only you and Junti will be harmed! Even if Even I can't save you!" Sheng Yi spoke in a serious tone, not intentionally to scare her, but to make her feel fearful. Only by keeping in mind the red line of one thing can one know what to do and what not to do. !

Tong Zining gasped in fear. If others had taken advantage of this matter, let alone speaking to her so earnestly, they would have probably added insult to injury and stepped on her.

It was also at this time that Tong Zining became more and more devoted to Shengyi. With her ability, it was the best choice to follow Shenyi to eat meat and drink soup...
