royal princess

Chapter 123
"What time is it?" Today I want to say hello to the Empress Empress. Since the turmoil last time, the Empress has been ill for a while and has recently recovered.In order to recuperate, let everyone go to greet him every three days.

For such things as going to the eldest wife every day to refresh her face and her goodwill, Si Jin sincerely thanked the queen for paying her respects every three days.

"There's still time for breakfast." Huarong walked in and said with a smile, "The imperial dining room brought porridge made from fresh red rice, as well as my master's favorite eight-treasure dish and braised duck liver."

Si Jin's eyes lit up when she heard that there was delicious food. How young is Xiao Qi? After a night of tossing around, she can still get up early to go to court the next day. Although she is younger than him, her physical strength is useless. , urgently needs a lot of delicious food to make up for her wounded heart.

The rice porridge was boiled slowly over low heat, and a thick layer of rice oil was formed on it. Si Jin liked to drink this layer of rice oil the most.The stewed duck liver Yue Changxin made more and more delicious, and the eight-treasure dish was also very authentic. Si Jin hardly touched the other dishes, so she said to Yunshang and the others: "You guys take these and share them."

Ever since she came here, she knew that it was a very dignified thing for the master to appreciate the food. In her opinion, letting others eat her leftovers was really bad behavior.However, in the eyes of others, no one who is not close to the master can have such an honor.So ever since she knew this custom, every time Si Jin ate by herself, if the dishes she didn't like very much, she basically didn't use her chopsticks, and only ate the dishes she liked.In this way, when others eat her own leftovers, at least she hasn't touched much, and she feels more comfortable.

Although she would be regarded as a monster by others if she thinks like this, there is no way. She is a modern person in her heart and can make decisions on her own. She still respects others as much as possible.

Although Si Jin never said anything like this, but Yunshang and the others were used to staying in the palace, and they noticed it after a long time, and naturally they became more grateful and loyal in their hearts.

After Si Jin drank half a cup of tea, Yun Chang hurried over, and Si Jin looked at her, "There is still time, why are you panicking, be careful not to feel uncomfortable if you eat too fast."

Yunshang stepped forward to help Si Jin, and said with a smile: "Your servant has already gotten used to it after all these years in the palace. What is this? Even if you don't eat for a whole day, your servant can handle it."

Knowing that these people have suffered a lot from learning palace rules, Si Jin didn't say anything, but said: "From now on, you and Huarong will stagger, so you don't have to follow me every time."

"Yes, the servant girl knows. But these days, the servant girl should go. Since Li Zhaoyi's ring fell on us last time, the servant girl has been looking at Li Zhaoyi and seeing your eyes are not right." Only by seeing it for yourself can you feel at ease.

Si Jin knew that Yunshang was loyal, so she smiled and didn't talk about it again, so she talked about Li Zhaoyi, "Has someone come over to find out about her again?"

"The first one came again, and the servant has followed the master's order, saying that the bamboo basket has been carried away by the emperor." Yun Chang said with a smile.

Li Zhaoyi was very concerned about the ring, it accidentally dropped it at her place last time, and sent people to carefully inquire several times, but it was because they couldn't explain why the ring fell into the bamboo basket.The ring was taken away by Xiao Qi, Si Jin didn't care about the ring, but just disgusted Li Zhaoyi's behavior.So after losing his appetite a few times, it was known that the ring had fallen into Xiao Qi's hands.

This time, Si Jin was very curious about what Li Zhaoyi would do.

Xiao Qi remembered that ring, and Li Zhaoyi should know about it.

Seeing that the master smiled, Yun Shang also said: "Li Zhaoyi is so bold, this time I will let her have a headache and explain to the emperor. However, she may not have a chance, who knows that the emperor will only ask in the year of the monkey, I'm afraid As long as you don't ask for a day, Li Zhaoyi will be like a frightened bird."

This is the same as the story about the other shoe upstairs. People cannot feel at ease if they don’t hear anything for a long time.

When they arrived at Fenghuan Palace, Si Jin saw Li Zhaoyi, and sure enough, she saw that her eyes were blue, and she hadn't slept well for the past few days.When Li Zhaoyi saw Si Jin, a trace of anger flashed across her expression, but she soon returned to normal. Now she doesn't know whether Si Jin knew about the ring or not.Maybe it's just that the emperor's things are temporarily put there, and then they are carried away, Xi Wanyi may not know what is there.

But how does the emperor know?
If you knew, why didn't you ask yourself a question? If you didn't know, where did the ring go? Was it quietly put away by the people in Chongming Palace?This whole period of time is like being tormented in a pan of oil, it is simply too difficult.

"It's nothing, you all go away." The queen was not in a good mood, she sat there and talked to everyone for a while, then waved everyone to leave.

Everyone knew that the queen had just recovered from a serious illness, and she had to organize the imperial concubine's birthday banquet, so no one was not ignorant of embarrassing the queen.The concubine Xian was kept by the empress, and the concubine Xian always relied on the empress, and the empress would often ask her to help with some palace affairs, so everyone was no stranger to it.

Si Jin withdrew from Fenghuan Palace with everyone, except for the gate of Fenghuan Palace, looking back at Fenghuan Palace, she saw the colorful glazed tiles shining brightly in the sun, making people squint their eyes.Living in such a palace, enjoying the admiration of the world, and having the power to manage the six palaces, but is the queen happy here?
When Wei Guogong wanted to send his daughter into the palace as the queen, what he thought about was not his daughter's happiness, but the family's future.With the position of queen, where is the time to think about whether the person sitting in this position is happy?

"What is Xi Wanyi looking at?"

Turning around, Si Jin met Li Zhaoyi's eyes, saluted with blessings, and then said with a smile: "Sister Zhaoyi, this concubine just saw a colorful bird flying by, and was fascinated by it for a while."

"Really? Bengong didn't see Xi Wanyi's sharp eyes."

Si Jin smiled embarrassedly, "I've always liked these flowers and birds, but sister Zhaoyi laughed at me."

Seeing that Si Jin's attitude towards her remained the same, Li Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she might not know about the ring, if she knew, how could she still live in such a calm manner?Thinking of this, Li Zhaoyi's expression softened slightly, and she added, "Sister Xi Wanyi's temperament is really different from everyone else's, which is very rare in this palace."

Si Jin blinked, what do you mean?
"I'm a person who doesn't have much fun. I don't have as many interests as sister Zhaoyi. I heard that my sister not only has outstanding embroidery skills, but also writes well. My concubine is really envious."

Speaking of this, Li Zhaoyi had a somewhat smug look on her face, but she still managed to hold on, so she looked at Si Jin and said, "You can do it if you work hard."

"That can't be done, my concubine doesn't have that kind of patience, I'd rather take care of the flowers and plants." Si Jin smiled sheepishly.

After walking for this distance, they reached a fork in the road. Li Zhaoyi looked at Si Jin and said, "It's almost the draft year again. The days go by so fast. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Sister Zhaoyi is still the same as when the concubine entered the palace, she hasn't changed at all."

"Really?" Li Zhaoyi smiled, looked at Si Jin again, and said indifferently, "I heard that in this draft, there will be women from Wei Wangxie and Li Su's family, so it will be even more lively. .”

Si Jin was taken aback for a moment.

Li Zhaoyi looked at Si Jin's dazed expression, smiled, and walked away triumphantly.

All the way back to Yihexuan, Si Jin still felt very congested.Although the noble concubines and queens in the palace are all from aristocratic families, they are not the most famous Li Suwang Xie family in Dayu.Although the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Duke of Cao's Mansion have been powerful families for many years, they are slightly inferior to the four great families in terms of reputation.Coincidentally, Li Suwangxie's family didn't have any girls of the right age in the last draft, but after three years of drafting, the girls should grow up.

The emperor has no princes yet, how could these people remain indifferent.

Moreover, the Su family mentioned by Li Zhaoyi is definitely not Su Guifei's family, so it can only be Quzhou Su.She figured it out, the family did have a cousin who had reached the age, and if there was a general election, even if it was to compete with her family, she would send her in.

For a moment, Si Jin's heart felt as if it was stuffed with cotton, and this day was really unbearable.

In the blink of an eye, it was the imperial concubine's birthday, and Si Jin prepared a gift that was neither outstanding nor faulty, and sent a small kang screen over.Because it was the imperial concubine's birthday, the banquet was held in Changle Palace, and the empress came with the emperor.Si Jin arrived early, and her seat was still next to Qi Ronghua's. This was the first time the two of them got together after the banquet last time. Si Jin first thanked her for her help last time.

Qi Ronghua said with a smile: "It's just a matter of little effort, even if I don't see it, the people in your palace will naturally notice it, it's just an extra word."

Qi Ronghua was always humble, Si Jin smiled, and the two talked about other things, Qi Ronghua didn't ask about the latter, he was a very knowledgeable and interesting person.

The imperial concubine sat high on top, holding the little princess in her arms, surrounded by many people, it was very lively, because Xiao Qi would always turn a corner to see the little princess from time to time, so the Changle Palace still stood majestic and domineering in the palace.On such an occasion, everyone's eyes will more or less fall on Xi Wanyi.

Today is the imperial concubine's birthday, so the emperor will naturally not go to Yihexuan again.Because the empress and the concubine fought in the arena a while ago, and there was a lot of trouble, the emperor was a little displeased with the two of them, and it was a slight punishment for being cold for a while.But today is the imperial concubine's birthday, the emperor will never refute the noble concubine's face, and then go to someone else.

Deep inside, Si Jin could naturally feel the various eyes of these people, and she herself couldn't tell what it was like.If I had thought it was really annoying before, my things were borrowed again, but I just complained.But now her heart is really different, she will feel very unhappy, very unhappy.
