Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 82 Pleasing to the eyes

"Huh, you know it yourself whether it has anything to do with you or not. Yan Baolin will be deceived by you, but I will not. I thought you were someone who knows how to understand current affairs, but I didn't expect that you and Concubine Bai would fool you. The same thing. It’s because I don’t know people well, and I recognize them!”

Xu Tingyue got off the sedan and stretched out her hands to smooth the wrinkles on her clothes. She walked slowly to Zhu Ci, raised her eyebrows and looked at her fiercely, and said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Zhu Ci, I am a very petty person. If others respect me, I will return the favor to others, and vice versa. You'd better pray that you will be safe and don't get into my hands. , otherwise I will make your life worse than death!"

"Why are you all standing here and not going in? What are you talking about?" Yang Yunxi's cold voice suddenly sounded.

Only then did Zhu Ci realize that Yang Yunxi had arrived at some unknown time and was standing tall and graceful not far away. Bai Xinrui followed Liu Yan's hand and got off the sedan, and glanced at them lightly.

"Shu Fei, what's wrong? Even wearing a veil, I can see how ugly your face is. Why are you so angry all day long? It's not conducive to the recovery of the injury on your face. It's better to be nice and calm. You said so? No, Concubine De?"

"My concubine's eyesight is not as good as that of the imperial concubine, but she didn't see anything."

Yang Yunxi saw that Bai Xinrui deliberately directed the fire towards herself, but she didn't respond and cleverly blocked it.

"But it's almost midsummer, so it's inevitable that you'll be angry, and it's understandable that you'll be impatient. It's just that we're all sisters, so if you have anything to say, it's fine. I'll go in first."

After saying that, she leaned down and led the personal palace maid into Zhaoyang Palace.

Xu Tingyue suppressed the hatred in her heart, snorted coldly, and then walked in.

"I have met the imperial concubine." Zhu Ci gratefully bowed to Bai Xinrui.

Seeing this, Yan Qingshu also hurriedly knelt down, "Thanks to the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shu was so cruel to Sister Zhu just now, as if she wanted to eat people. I really don't understand, it's all Lu Yunv's fault, Sister Zhu Guan What's up."

"Who says it's not the case? Concubine Shu is such a big person, you might as well be as open-minded as Yan Baolin. She is careless, narrow-minded, and doesn't even have the grace to tolerate others. She is really unworthy of her virtue."

Bai Xinrui reached out with a smile and brushed the hair away from Yan Qingshu's face. She would definitely give birth to a lively and lovely daughter like Yan Baolin in the future, but she just wouldn't be so innocent.

"Yan Baolin, please don't associate with this kind of person, or he will lead you into trouble again. If you have nothing to do, go out and walk with your sister Zhu. It's pleasing to see two beauties together often."

Yan Baolin had been raised by the Queen Mother since she was a child. Seeing the Queen Mother's attitude, she seemed to regard her as her biological daughter. The Queen Mother did not like her, so she could only establish a good relationship with the Queen Mother through Yan Baolin to pave the way for the child in her belly.

Yan Qingshu looked at Bai Xinrui, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Although Concubine Shu's words are unpleasant and she doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, she is also quick to speak. But who told me to like Sister Zhu? Anyone who embarrasses Sister Zhu is embarrassing me."

Yan Qingshu spoke more straightforwardly than Zhu Ci imagined, without any scruples. Fortunately, there was a queen mother behind her, and others didn't care about her, otherwise she would have died countless times.

"Concubine Shu has a misunderstanding about me. I will find an opportunity to explain it to Concubine Shu. Yan Baolin should not get into trouble with Concubine Shu because of me. It's not worth it."

"Look what you said. Yan Baolin treats you like this because he treats you like his sister. Doesn't it make Yan Baolin sad when you say this?"

Bai Xinrui glanced at the sky, reached out and held the hairpin on her temples, twisted her waist and walked inside.

Yan Qingshu also pulled Zhu Ci and jumped behind her. Almost all the concubines had arrived, and Zhu Ci was surprised to find that Wen Yuanyuan was also there. He had never seen her in Zhaoyang Palace before, and he thought she was disrespectful to the queen. Why did she suddenly come to pay her respects to the queen today?

Suppressing the questions in her heart, Zhu Ci bowed respectfully to Hua Jingyun and sat down in front of her seat.

Hua Jingyun's gentle gaze fell on Bai Xinrui's protruding abdomen.

"In a few months, Concubine Bai will give birth, right? You are getting older and older, and it is becoming more and more inconvenient to move. You must be careful. From now on, you should not pay your respects to me for the time being. There are many It won’t be too late to come and say hello after the birth is over.”

Bai Xinrui actually had this intention today. Seeing that she is getting older and older, the people hiding in the dark are becoming more and more ready to move. As long as she walks out of Yongfu Palace, it means that she may be in danger at any time.

With Lu Yunu's previous experience, she really didn't dare to gamble.

Since the queen was so considerate and took the initiative to say this, she just took the opportunity to respond.

"Thank you, Queen Mother. Ever since I was frightened by the wild cat, I haven't been able to sleep well at night. Since Queen Mother is so considerate, I will do everything as Queen Mother said."

"The Queen is really kind-hearted. Now the Imperial Concubine is the treasure of the palace and cannot be touched."

Yang Yunxi picked up a fruit from the fruit plate and put it in her mouth, "Other people are not as lucky as the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine should rest well and don't worry about anything. The concubine is looking forward to a happy event in the palace. "

"I also want to have some leisure time, but there are always one or two people who have no good intentions."

Bai Xinrui searched around, "Who is Cao Baolin?"

Cao Wenxi, who was suddenly called out, didn't know what Bai Xinrui suddenly asked him to do. When he saw everyone's eyes falling on him, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

She quickly stood up and said cautiously: "Concubine Baolin Cao has met the imperial concubine."

Bai Xinrui tilted her body and looked Cao Wenxi up and down.

"So you are Cao Baolin. Who did I think you were? I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to come out of Wuyang Palace with all your eyes and beard. You can't tell but you are capable."

Cao Wenxi couldn't figure out what Bai Xinrui meant by saying this, so he could only say softly.

"The Emperor and the Queen are aware of the situation, and the Imperial Concubine is kind, and Shen Xiurong discovered the truth in time, so that the concubine can have the opportunity to meet you and your sisters again."

"It's just a coincidence, concubine. It's good that Cao Baolin is fine. This matter has been investigated clearly, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the imperial concubine. Otherwise, she will always be worried about it, which will not be good for the fetus in her belly."

Zhu Ci heard this person's voice which she had never heard before. She looked for the voice and saw a woman of about 28 years old in the corner.

He is dressed very simply, with a round face and a pair of bright black eyes. When he smiles, there are faint dimples appearing at the corners of his lips and two cheeks. He is very gentle and elegant.

It seemed that this person was Shen Xiurong. She had met Zhu Ci when she paid her respects, but she never spoke to him and always stayed in the corner, so she didn't take it to heart.
