Chapter 225 Plum Garden Conversation
Yun Lanyue entered the plum garden, even though Ningshuang was in a hurry, she didn't dare to stop her. Although Concubine Xi was her master, she didn't dare to stop the Crown Princess.

After successfully entering the plum garden, Yun Lanyue asked Qiao Cui and Yan Shui to guard the door. Apart from keeping an eye on Ningshuang, there was another reason, just like Xipin, that no one was allowed to enter.

The plum garden is huge, and if you want to know where Concubine Xi is, you can't see it at a glance, but fortunately, the plum garden hasn't bloomed a few flowers yet, so the sight line is quite spacious.

After walking for a while, Yun Lanyue finally saw Xi Bin's figure in a corner. She was wearing light red clothes, squatting on the ground as if she was digging something, her heart moved, and she walked towards her.

Xu Shi heard the sound of footsteps, and Concubine Xi suddenly buried the soil, and then replaced the roots of the plum tree, as if she was loosening the soil for the plum tree.

"Is the Empress Xi in front?"

Hearing the voice, Concubine Xi got up and turned around, seeing that it was Yun Lanyue, a look of bewilderment flashed in her eyes, she pretended to be calm and said: "It turns out to be the Empress of the Crown Princess, why are you interested in visiting the Plum Garden today?"

"Isn't Empress Xi, like this palace, also in this plum garden? What is Empress Xi here for?"

"When you come to the plum garden, you are naturally here to enjoy the plums. By the way, let the plum tree loosen the soil so that it will be more lush this year."

"Oh? It seems that Empress Xi is still a person who likes plum blossoms. Hearing that Empress Xi has often come to the plum garden these days, it can be considered a painstaking effort."

Yun Lanyue couldn't help being startled, this Empress Xi is really smart, judging from her actions just now, she is clearly looking for something in this plum garden, or she is burying something, but she is in the Song Dynasty. Tu, it can be regarded as finding a reasonable explanation for what she did. In addition, the emperor would come to the plum garden every year to enjoy the plum blossoms. There is no secret in it, she can know that Concubine Xi is going in and out of this plum garden, and other people can also know that, when the emperor hears that Concubine Xi is taking care of the plum garden, he will be more considerate of her.

She took a closer look, and saw that several plum trees around had been loosened, which was the fundamental reason why she thought so.

Sure enough, the women in the harem still compete for favor after all, and the same is true for Concubine Xi. Although she didn't really intend to loosen the soil, she can loosen the plum garden for things that may not be noticed by the emperor. The soil under each plum tree is also patient enough.

Yes, she is indeed very patient, otherwise she would not have kept a low profile for so many years.

Yun Lanyue's words also made Concubine Xi understand what she meant: "It seems that the Crown Princess still cares about me, otherwise how would I know that I often come to the plum garden recently?"

"To be honest, I don't care what Concubine Xi does every day. If Concubine Xi hadn't placed people beside Concubine Lu this time, I wouldn't have noticed you either."

Xipin thought that Yun Lanyue asked someone to investigate her, but she didn't expect that she would say it so directly, and she didn't even have the slightest intention to hide it. This made her at a loss for a moment, but it was bigger She had seen the storm before, and she quickly regained her composure.

"What the Crown Princess said, I don't know what it means."

"Miss Xi, since this Palace can find out that you are with Concubine Lu, other people must be able to find out too. This is not a big secret. Concubine Lu has offended many people in the harem for so many years There will always be, maybe at this time someone will be placed in, and someone will notice you, so they will throw an olive branch to you, what Concubine Xi thought in her heart, what I said is right."

"Princess Concubine, I don't understand what you are talking about."

"It doesn't matter if Concubine Xi doesn't understand, Concubine Xi said just now that you are here to enjoy the flowers?" Yun Lanyue snorted and looked around. There are not many flowers in the plum garden. It is too much to say that you are here to enjoy the flowers. False: "I don't know how the queen or Concubine Qiu will react if they know that Concubine Xi is digging the soil here all day long?"

Yun Lanyue's casual words made Concubine Xi's eyes wide open, obviously fearful, Yun Lanyue chuckled lightly, looked at Concubine Xi and said, "Madam Xi, since I found you first, instead of If you find the empress first, it means that this palace does not pose any threat to you, otherwise, you would not be able to talk so much with this palace in this plum garden."

"Princess Concubine, you are indeed smart, but I still don't understand the purpose of your coming here."

"Mistress Xi is in the plum garden, so I have come to the plum garden. If Madam Xi has been going to the imperial garden, I will meet Xi in the imperial garden today. That's the point of the conversation, Xi Don't you understand?"

"What does the princess want?"

"Don't be nervous, Concubine Xi, I have already said that if I wanted to do something to you, you wouldn't have the opportunity to talk to Bengong so much now, if I guessed correctly, Empress Xi wanted to deal with Lu Concubine, but you know, it is absolutely impossible to bring down Concubine Lu, who used to be Concubine Shu, with your own strength and your mere concubine status, and you are still an unfavored concubine."

"Prince Princess..."

Yun Lanyue interrupted her with a wave of her hand: "Concubine Xi, don't be in a hurry to deny it. It's not too late to think about whether you want to confess to Bengong after listening to what Bengong has said."

Concubine Xi pursed her lips and looked at Yun Lanyue, and she really stopped talking.

Yun Lanyue chuckled, and continued: "If my guess is correct, the reason why Concubine Xi wanted to send someone to Concubine Lu was to hope that at least one of the empress or concubine Qiu would pay attention. To see you and win you over, even if it's not the two of them, other concubines are also acceptable, right."

Xipin sighed and didn't say anything.

"It's a pity that the Empress did not come to find her, nor did Concubine Qiu, not to mention the other Concubine Liu and Concubine Qing, etc. Concubine Xi should know what the reason is."

I have to admit that Yun Lanyue is right on point. That's right, she knows it well. With her being a concubine and giving birth to a princess, no one will care about her after falling out of favor for so many years, let alone , Princess Mingyuan has also grown up and reached the age of marriage. When the emperor thinks about it one day and gives her a random marriage, then she will have no chance to stand up again. Who cares whether she is like this? exist.

Even so, at least someone noticed her, right?

Concubine Xi raised her eyes to look at Yun Lanyue, and said: "Since the princess knows the reason very well, why not waste time on me? Just like the queen and the others, just let me fend for myself?"

"If this is the case, I think it's a pity, Concubine Xi, if I say that I can help you achieve everything you want, what would you do?
