royal princess

Chapter 133 The Queen's Thoughts 3
The reason why the empress held such a grand banquet was probably because she wanted to comfort herself?

It's a pity she doesn't want it.

When Xiao Qi came over in the evening, Si Jin served tea and water very courteously, beat her back and squeezed her shoulders, and she had to say that she was right when someone helped her out?
Xiao Qi couldn't help smiling seeing Si Jin busy, and pulled her to sit down, "Don't be busy, take a rest."

Si Jin sat down next to Xiao Qi, crookedly leaning into his arms, just leaning against her, she felt like eating honey.

Hey, it's hopeless.

"You're in such a good mood?" Xiao Qi asked, nodding at Si Jin's brows, seeing her happy, the corners of his lips couldn't help but twitch.

"Happy, of course I'm happy." Si Jin said, "The Empress treats me well, I know it in my heart, but I really don't want to show off, and besides, it's just Jiji, I'm just a graceful person, how can I be big?" It's a big deal, whether you have credit for it or not, you will inevitably lack confidence. If you are said behind your back, you will be powerless to refute, so why make people jealous. I am very grateful that the empress wants to make a face for me, but... I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. "

Xiao Qi held Si Jin's hand and stroked the back of her hand. What she said was so true that he couldn't refute it.After a long time, he smiled, "You are the only one who dares to say that in front of me." Speaking so openly in front of him, afraid of being plotted by other concubines, became more and more courageous.

Si Jin pursed her lips and smiled, "Because I don't want to lie to you."

Xiao Qi was startled, looked down at Si Jin, saw her eyebrows and eyes curled up, and the corners of her lips curled up, and she heard her say: "You treat me with heart, how can I lie to you, I don't seem heartless people."

"I will put gold on my face." Although Xiao Qi said so, the expression on his face was very gentle.

Si Jin looked up at him with a smile, and said narrowly, "I'm not allowed to put money on my face, are you going to punish me?"

Si Jin looked up at him, knowing that he was happy, so she stopped talking and just leaned against him.Listening to each other's heartbeat, smelling each other's breath, without saying a word, there is a sweet smell in the quiet air, and my heart is extremely comforting and comfortable.

Si Jin subconsciously stroked her heartbeat and counted silently. According to the number of heartbeats, she seemed to really like him more and more.

Xiao Qi was leaning on the soft pillow, holding Si Jin in his arms, in such an atmosphere, he didn't want to say a word.It seemed that this pleasant moment was broken as soon as he opened his mouth. He had never felt like this. The two of them stayed together without saying a word, but they felt closer.

"Is it true that silence is better than sound at this time?"

Xiao Qi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he looked down at Si Jin, and saw her eyes were like a pair of hooks, able to spit out silk to wrap around him tightly.His flushed cheeks and sparkling fiery eyes made his heart beat faster and faster.

What is a hooked gaze?
Xiao Qi finally understood now.

Si Jin only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and before she could recover, Xiao Qi suppressed it...

Guan Chang'an closed the door of the main hall expressionlessly. He found that the emperor has become less and less taboo recently. Although it is evening, it is not dark yet, is it?You can't wait until after dinner to find love. Pity him for being a single dog and being dumped by someone.

Hey!
Next to him, Yun Chang stood outside the hall with the same awkward expression, looking at Eunuch Guan's appearance, pretending to be serious, if he didn't know his nature, he could really bluff people.However, the emperor is too impatient, seeing that he will have dinner, can't he wait?Unfortunately, the door of Yihexuan is strictly guarded, otherwise if it gets out, the master will inevitably be charged with being a coquettish and prostitute.

Hey!
Huarong walked over quietly, holding a big copper pot in his hand, seeing Yunshang guarding the door, he stopped in his tracks.Well, let's bring it back anyway, I guess it won't be needed for a while.Holding the big copper pot, Hua Rong returned to the tea room with a smile.He squatted the copper pot on the non-ash wood stove, added a large ladle of water, sat on the horse tie next to him, picked up the half-embroidered handkerchief and threaded the needle.

Jinzhi Yuxiu saw that Huarong came back again, the two of them didn't dare to talk too much, one continued to iron the clothes, the other continued to fumigate the clothes, each busy in their own way, the room was silent.The little palace people in the embroidery room nearby did not make a sound, only occasionally someone came to pour some water to make tea to refresh themselves.

The hierarchy in the palace is strict, Master Xi cannot have his own embroiderer, and these little palace people only make socks, handkerchiefs and other small items for the master.For example, the master's underwear can only be made by Yunshang and Huarong, and the ones worn next to the body are naturally different.

They are filial with heart, and they can't cross the line.

Chen De'an walked all the way into the tea room, Huarong saw him coming in, and hurriedly went up to meet him, "Eunuch Chen, why are you here now, is there something wrong?"

Chen De'an glanced at the gold and jade embroidery on the other side of the room, took Huarong to the small outer room, and said in a low voice: "Something happened to Dou Fangyi, the master still needs to report, it's not convenient for you to ask Yunshang." When he saw Guan Changan standing outside with a bitter face, he knew that the room was inconvenient, and he was not stupid, so he wouldn't bump into it like this.

Huarong looked outside when she heard the words, seeing Yunshang still standing there guarding, she paused and said, "I'll go and ask Sister Yunshang."

"Hey, go, go." Chen De'an sat down, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, he was so exhausted that his shoes hit his heels all the way.

Huarong stepped out of the door, trying to be as usual, walked up to Yunshang and whispered a few words.

Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, glanced sideways at Guan Chang'an, who had her back turned to her, and then said to Hua Rong: "Don't worry about this matter, go back first, I know what's going on."

Yun Shang has always admired Hua Rong in her work, so she must have an idea when she said this, so she nodded and went back.

As soon as Huarong left, Yunshang thought that it would be a while before He Shiyi came to deliver a letter to Guan Changan.The Chongming Hall got the news first, and then sent it to the Yihexuan to spare the way. Naturally, it was a step slower than Chen De'an.At this time, she couldn't let Guan Chang'an think that Yi Hexuan's news was too well informed. If Dou Fangyi hadn't panicked and pushed her master back last time, the master might not have bumped his head.She was very dissatisfied with Dou Fangyi in her heart, Huarong didn't say that she was in danger of her life, and she was not in a hurry.

Sure enough, after only a cup of tea, He Shiyi hurried over, muttered a few words beside Guan Changan, and saw Guan Changan turned back to look at the hall, frowning tightly, somewhat hesitant.

Yun Chang could guess what Guan Chang'an was thinking, but it was Dou Fangyi who had never been favored since entering the palace. Like Qi Ronghua, her status rose to the present with Dafeng in the harem.Now the emperor is busy, he disturbed the emperor's affairs because of a Dou Fangyi, I don't know if the emperor will be angry.I was not sure, so I hesitated.

Yun Shang just didn't want to offend the emperor because of this, so she suppressed Huarong and kept her from speaking, so let Eunuch Guan have a headache.He had served the emperor for so many years, so he thought there was a way to avoid this catastrophe, but they were not so lucky.

After hesitating for a while, Guan Changan decided to make a statement, and walked towards the main hall. He glanced sideways at Yunshang, and saw her looking down at the ground, not knowing what she was thinking.Withdrawing his gaze, he lifted his foot up the steps, and said softly through the door, "Your Majesty, He Shiyi just sent the news that Dou Fangyi fell into the water."

Then Yunshang heard a voice coming from the room. According to their master's disposition, even if the emperor didn't care, she would urge the emperor to have a look because of the fact that Dou Fangyi and Qi Ronghua were guests.At this time, Yun Shang also raised her foot and stepped on the steps to the outside of the hall, and she heard the master inside ordering to prepare water.

Yun Chang hurriedly went to the tea room and called Huarong to ask someone to bring hot water. The copper basin, towel, and fragrant soap were held in the palm of her hand one by one, and five or six workers stood up and waited outside the door at a time.Yun Chang took the lead and stood up. Hearing the yelling from here, he pushed open the door of the main hall and walked in without raising his head.

Si Jin put on her coat, brushed her hair casually, and hurriedly put on clothes for Xiao Qi, and said: "Why did she fall into the water when she was so well-behaved? I see that sister Dou Fangyi has a very good personality. broken."

Xiao Qi has no impression of who Dou Fangyi is. Speaking of things like a concubine falling into the water, shouldn't she go to the queen?But Si Jin Xin Shanfei asked him to go and have a look, so he had to hold his breath, wash and change his clothes with a dark face, suppressed Si Jin not to go out and wait for news in Yihexuan, and then took Guan Changan to Ningcui Pavilion.

As soon as Xiao Qi left, Si Jin waved his hand to let the redundant people in the room leave, looked at Yun Shang and asked, "Do you know exactly what's going on?"

"I don't have a chance to ask about the news sent by Chen De'an, so it's better to ask him to come in and ask." Yun Chang said in a low voice.

Si Jin nodded, "Call someone in."

After the emperor left, Chen De'an waited outside the door. When Yunshang came out to call for someone, he hurried in.

"The slave greets the master."

"Get up, tell me what's going on." Si Jin put a soft pillow behind her back and looked at Chen De'an and said.

Chen De'an stood up, did not raise his head to look casually, just lowered his head and said: "The servant first went to the imperial dining room to watch the dinner, and then asked Shunquan to go to the inner court to get the kang table that was sent back to be repainted. The slave came from the imperial dining room. When Fang came back, Shunquan stopped me halfway, saying that he heard that Dou Fangyi had fallen into the water. So I spared him the remote road and rushed over to have a look. By the time we passed, Dou Fangyi had been rescued and sent back to Ningxia. Cui Pavilion. The servant inquired in private, and it is said that Dou Fangyi was retorted by Concubine Zhang, and the two quarreled for some reason, and Concubine Zhang pushed Dou Fangyi into the water as soon as she 'missed'."

Si Jin blinked, looked at Chen De'an and asked, "What about Concubine Zhang?"

Chen De settled for a moment, and then said: "Concubine Zhang 'missed' and pushed the person into the water. In order to make up for the mistake, she jumped into the water to save the person."
