royal princess

Chapter 114
"Are you awake?" Xiao Qi turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw a small head protruding from the tent.

Si Jin's eyes were fixed on Xiao Qi's mouth all the time, and then he turned his eyes away, and he could still see clearly from five or six steps away.But when the emperor goes up to the court and sits high on the throne, the officials below probably can't see clearly, right?

Seeing Si Jin's big eyes turning aside, Xiao Qi knew what she was thinking.Walking over with big strides, he knelt down and looked at Si Jin with both heads, and reached out to wipe her lips lightly, "Tonight, wait."

Seeing Xiao Qi's domineering and evil smile, he couldn't help but tremble all over. Does this mean to get revenge?
It's so pretty when you smile, but give the girl another laugh and go!
Si Jin was half lying on the head of the bed, looking at Xiao Qi's back as he walked away, her heart was beating again and again.It's so unkind to discharge something early in the morning!

After Xiao Qi left, Yun Chang and others came in to serve.Thinking of the situation that filled the room, Si Jin couldn't help but retract into the tent to put quail.Hey, it's really embarrassing to be seen in such a mess.

Si Jin completely underestimated the acceptance of the ancients. In their opinion, this is the best way to prove how favored the master is.Si Jin, who was hiding in the tent, naturally did not see the cheerful smiles on the faces of Yun Shang and the others.

Get up, wash, change clothes, make up, wait until the set is finished, Hua Rong came in and said in a low voice: "Master, when I was out, I heard a news that the emperor came to Yihexuan last night and was recommended by the empress." Woolen cloth."

Si Jin paused for a while while eating, no wonder Xiao Qi ran to her place last night.It seems that I still have to go to Fenghuan Palace after dinner, at least let the queen know that she is not an ungrateful person.

The harem in midsummer is a bit scorching hot, and the weather in the morning is refreshingly cool.When Si Jin came out of Fenghuan Palace, she wanted to take a small path to Yihexuan, but she didn't expect to run into Concubine Dong Xian head-on just after leaving Fenghuan Palace.

"The concubine has met the concubine Xian, and greets her." Si Jin was a little indulgent last night, but walking today is actually very uncomfortable. If I live with her, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed.

Concubine Dong Xian looked at Si Jin like this, without changing her face, with a gentle smile on her face that has never changed for thousands of years, "It's a coincidence today, I didn't expect to meet sister Xi Wanyi, get up quickly, we sisters of the first palace, There is no need for such a gift."

"Thank you, ma'am." Si Jin supported Yun Chang's hand to stand up, and looked at Concubine Xian gratefully, "I didn't expect to meet my majesty either, so today is a good day."

Facing Shang Si Jin Tianruan with a childlike smile, Concubine Dong Xian also laughed, and said: "Today is a beautiful weather, is sister Xi Wanyi interested in taking a walk? In the past, we sisters never met Together, today is fate, just to talk."

Can Si Jin say no?Of course it's not possible, she lowered her head halfway, pretending to be honored and surprised, and nodded, "It's a concubine's blessing to talk with the empress."

"I said you don't need to look outside. Turn around and there is an octagonal pavilion. The sun has not risen yet, so you can just sit there."

Si Jin naturally followed what other people said, so she just followed the concubine with a smile and walked a step behind Xianfei, "I have heard of the pavilion, surrounded by carefully raised flowers in the imperial garden, and the scenery is beautiful. Very good."

The two of them turned a corner while they were talking, and headed towards the imperial garden.Si Jin really hadn't been to the Imperial Garden very often. She came to pay her respects to the queen before. She was afraid that she would bring trouble to the fish in the pond, so she always left when she came, and she never came here.But the original owner had visited the Imperial Garden, so he was quite impressed with it.

The imperial garden in the palace is not as small as the Forbidden City, and it only takes a cup of tea to walk from the east end to the west end.The harem of the Dayu dynasty was built magnificently, and the imperial garden even occupied an aurora.There are endless towers, pavilions and pavilions in the garden, and the rockery and flowing water complement each other, and the flowers of various colors carefully cultivated by the craftsmen are competing for beauty, and they are everywhere.The octagonal pavilion with flying eaves and brackets is not far from the imperial garden, surrounded by flowers, and a path paved with cobblestones penetrates into it.Walking on it, I just feel that the fragrance of flowers is tangy and beautiful.

The two turned around a rockery, and Si Jin saw several figures in the octagonal pavilion from a distance, and couldn't help being taken aback.

What a good day today, the people in the imperial garden are really interested, and they all come to enjoy the flowers.

Si Jin quietly raised her eyes to look at Concubine Dong Xian, only to see that her brows were slightly startled, obviously she didn't expect that there was already someone.Si Jin just looked away, and heard Concubine Dong Xian say with a smile: "What a good day today, why are you all out here. Since we are here, let's go up and see each other, it's better to hide away."

Can Si Jin say "no"?

The people in the octagonal pavilion had obviously seen them too, and when they got closer, they heard the chatter and laughter inside, and looked up, and there were Concubine Mei, Li Zhaoyi, and Concubine Yugui sitting in this pavilion, who were doing all this at a little distance away. Ronghua, Qi Ronghua was surrounded by an unfamiliar face. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that it was the unfamiliar Dou Fangyi. This person was like a transparent person in the palace.Both her ratings are from the fourth rank, but she is the first Wanyi from the fourth rank, and has a title, so she is naturally more noble than Dou Fangyi.

As soon as they stepped into the pavilion, everyone stood up to see each other. Concubine Dong Xian was the highest-ranking concubine here, and after being greeted by everyone, she smiled more and more generously, treating others with kindness.

Si Jin forced herself to go forward to salute everyone. Except for Dou Fangyi, everyone was of a higher rank than her. After she finished the round of saluting, she felt her legs were sore and her feet were limp. Fortunately, Yunshang was there to support her.

"Sister Xi Wanyi, get up quickly. You are the most important person in the emperor's heart now. We dare not accept your gift. You can't even stand upright. It looks like we abused you." Yu Seeing Xi Wanyi's coquettish and timid appearance, your concubine felt a shock in her heart, and her words became more and more merciless.Coupled with the fact that the two had previous grievances, they naturally didn't get along well.

Concubine Yugui's eyebrows were raised high, and there was a bit of meanness on her gorgeous features.Concubine Mei glanced at Concubine Yugui, and then turned her head to look at Xi Wanyi, "Sister Yugui is a straightforward person, so don't worry about Sister Xi Wanyi, sisters One game, don't need to be so preoccupied, just sit down."

Si Jin thanked Concubine Mei again, and then sat down at the other corner of the pavilion, looking up she could see Qi Ronghua opposite.I saw that although her beautiful eyes were as usual, there was a slight worry in the depths of her eyes.Si Jin vaguely understood in her heart that this chance meeting today was probably that Hongmen banquet.

Si Jin made up her mind that she would never follow a few head-to-head confrontations today, lest her mouth be happy but her body suffer.If you really want to be popular and punish yourself by kneeling for your disrespectful words, should you kneel or not?
In short, they must not be given the opportunity to practice themselves.

Si Jin put on a cowardly little white flower appearance, no matter what others said, she always responded with a smile.Concubine Yugui looked really shocked, her face darkened a lot, and the words in her mouth became more and more ugly.

Li Zhaoyi listened with a smile all the time, when she heard Concubine Yugui, she almost pointed at Xi Wanyi's nose and scolded her for being a seductress and dominating the emperor, but seeing that Xi Wanyi looked very confused, as if she didn't understand at all.This pretending ability is really getting better and better, no wonder he can coax the emperor to hang on to her every day.

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoyi looked at Xi Wanyi, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and asked as if casually: "Usually, I rarely see sister Xi Wanyi coming out for a walk, today we are really lucky to meet each other." It's really not easy for you."

Si Jin pinched the handkerchief with a shy smile, and said in a low voice: "The concubine always loves to be quiet, and she usually likes to stay in the room and do needlework. She is the most boring person."

Li Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows, she was the first in this palace to belittle herself like this.As soon as she looked up, she saw that Concubine Xian was smiling at the corners of her eyes, but she pursed her red lips lightly, which showed that she didn't believe it.She smiled "hehe" and said: "So that's the case. No wonder I heard that the emperor only likes to wear the needlework made by sister Xi Wanyi these days. It turns out to be true. It can be seen that your craftsmanship is excellent. Even the emperor likes it."

Si Jin looked a little nervous, "Sister Zhaoyi really loves my concubine, but I dare not say that. The concubine's needlework is not good, and she can only sew straight lines, even a flower can be embroidered." Not good."

"Hey, look at Xi Wanyi's nervous look, as if she is afraid that we will beg for your needlework." Concubine Yu Gui sneered, "We dare not beg for such precious needlework as you are."

If it is the one who is on the right track, he should hurry up and respect the needleworkers at this time, but Si Jin is not stupid. After doing something hard, he makes others smile, and pretends to be stupid and said in a daze: "Your concubine sister is joking, my needlework It's really not good. I was very naughty when I was a child. I lost a little bit of talent in needlework, and I didn't have the patience to learn it. Now I pick it up just to pass the time. It's really shameless to say, it's really nothing Glorious thing."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the pavilion.Obviously, everyone was shocked by Si Jin's godlike answer.Everyone thought they could let her do some needlework, but they just pretended not to understand and insisted that she had no talent and bad needlework.Who are you kidding, if the needlework is really bad, now the emperor can wear the clothes she made?

It's just an excuse.

As a result, the eyes of everyone looking at Si Jin became a little bit more unkind. It looked like she had a submissive personality, but she didn't expect to have a bit of backbone.

Concubine Dong Xian smiled at this time, looked at everyone and said: "I see the flowers in this garden are blooming in full bloom, why don't we have a flower viewing feast here at noon, and it's boring to go back to the palace separately, so it's just right to get together Lively and lively."
