royal princess

Chapter 171 Robbery 1
Still as always, don't say anything, just do it.

If you don't speak easily, you must make a promise when you speak.A man like Xiao Qi is simply a woman's poison.

Si Jin felt that she was doomed, and originally wanted to draw a distance, but ended up putting herself in again.

Thinking of this, she moved her body slightly, and wrapped her arms around Xiao Qi's waist.

Isn't it just intrigue with the women in the harem?

Sister, don't be afraid!
Xiao Qi stretched out his hand to press Si Jin's head, and heaved a sigh of relief, as if something lost came back all of a sudden, and the empty feeling in his heart was filled again.

"You have a good rest these few days, don't go out if you have nothing to do."

"why?"

"In the next few days, the final selection of the draft will be held, so that you won't be jealous again."

Pooh!
Si Jin, who is in a good mood, eats a lot for dinner, and her appetite has been getting bigger and bigger recently with the month.She felt that she might give birth to a snack, but her father was the emperor, so she was not afraid that she would not be able to afford it.

Thinking of this, her mood became better, and even the fact that Xiu Nu stayed in the election couldn't stop her good mood.

Retaining the election for the last time was, after all, a major event for the palace.The first person who can participate in this matter is naturally the empress, and the second is the imperial concubine.Of course, it is impossible for the empress dowager to condescend and condescend to intervene openly, but it is still possible to exert pressure secretly.

Therefore, when the day came for the election, Si Jin was in a very delicate mood when she heard that the emperor had gone for a walk after he came down from court.

how to say?

It was an indescribable pantothenic acid.

Si Jin was holding a piece of watermelon and biting it bit by bit. People in the palace ate watermelon, which had to be cut into thumb-sized pieces and eaten with a silver skewer.Si Jin's eating habit has always been to cut into a corner and chew on it. This is the correct way to eat watermelon, isn't it?

In order to maintain an elegant posture, the angle of the cut is narrow, so that it can be bitten off in one bite.

You can't eat too much watermelon, Si Jin ate two pieces, Yun Shang smiled and took the plate away.

Si Jinlue felt a little sad.

The final selection did not end until it was almost dark, and the few people Si Jin cared about the most also had their homes.

As expected, all the daughters of the aristocratic families fell into the palace.Unsurprisingly, the person with the highest initial title was Qiao Lingyi, who was awarded the title of Xiaoyi, which was the same honor as Si Jin's first title.It is said that originally the queen mother meant to confer Ronghua directly, but the queen mother said that the Qiao family was originally a criminal, and that the daughters of the Qiao family could enter the palace all depended on the queen mother's grace.Getting Feng Xiaoyi is already an exception, if Feng Ronghua gets Feng Ronghua, he doesn't have the qualifications to accompany the driver, and he doesn't have any credits, how can he convince others?

The queen's strength surprised everyone.Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager did not deal with the Empress, but the Empress had never confronted the Empress Dowager like this before. This time, even the imperial concubine frowned and did not intervene at will.What's more, the imperial concubine also has her own thoughts. Even though Qiao Lingyi can restrain Xi Ronghua, Qiao Lingyi is even more dreadful.The relationship between her and the queen mother was just a mutual use, so the queen mother insisted that Qiao Lingyi be granted the title of Ronghua, and the imperial concubine was naturally unhappy.

The Qiao family just produced a queen mother, and now it has already fallen, not to mention that this time the queen mother returned to the palace and lost her previous glory.The imperial concubine actually looked down on the Qiao family, but since there was a queen mother, she had to make false claims.But the queen mother praised Qiao Lingyi so much, the noble concubine was naturally uncomfortable.He offered a few words of help out of face, but was reprimanded by the queen, so he took advantage of the situation and withdrew without saying a word.

Since the queen said before that Qiao Lingyi had neither qualifications nor credit, once this opening was opened, the person who will be named later will not have a high position.The empress just took advantage of the situation to argue with the empress dowager, so she forcibly suppressed all the beautiful women on the way to being high-ranked, and properly pulled Qiao Lingyi on her behalf, slowly gaining hatred.

Qiao Lingyi was burdened by his family background. After all, even the Empress Dowager couldn't say no to whoever made Qiao's family betrothed by the late emperor himself.Therefore, the queen suppressed Qiao Lingyi with a reasonable and solid sentence. For the sake of fairness, none of the show girls this year could be awarded high awards.It's fine for others, but Li's daughter, Wang's daughter, and Su's daughter are all noble daughters from the four great families. Li Yunxiu only got a talented person from the sixth rank, and Su Rui was a beauty from the sixth rank. Lan is the queen's own sister, and she has been awarded the sixth-rank nobleman, and her equal is Wang Jingyun, who has also been awarded the nobleman title.Peng Mingwei was also selected by the empress, but the initial seal was not high, she was only a lady of the seventh rank.

The difference is that Wang Jingyun's nobleman was hand-picked by the emperor, because no one can question the fact that her father has contributed a lot to the position of Minister of the Household Department.

All the remaining show girls returned to the palace, and three days later entered the palace according to their grades.

When Xiao Qi entered the Yihexuan, Si Jin was sewing clothes under the lamp, which were close-fitting clothes for children.Seeing him coming in, Si Jin put down the clothes in her hands and went up to him. Xiao Qi saw her stomach was clasped on her stomach like a pot, and she felt frightened when she walked.He hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Just sit down, and I will do it myself."

After taking the clothes, Xiao Qi went to change behind the screen by himself, and Si Jin changed people to bring water in, and when Xiao Qi finished washing, Si Jin also sent someone to pass the food to the imperial dining room.

After freshening up, the whole person felt refreshed. The windows in the room were all propped up, and the cool night breeze blew in through the screens, and Si Jin squinted her eyes contentedly.

Xiao Qi looked at her with a little smile, looked at the clothes in her hand, and said: "How many times have I told you, don't do this by lighting a lamp and boiling wax, be careful to hurt your eyes. What do you do to raise those many embroiderers?"

"What's the same?" Si Jin gave him a look.

Xiao Qi knew that she was stubborn, so he didn't try to persuade her, but said: "I don't care if you do it during the day, but not at night." After saying that, he forcibly took away the things in Si Jin's hands.

Yun Chang was bringing tea in, and quickly took out the sewing basket.

Si Jin: ...

"How do you feel today?" Xiao Qi bent down and put his ear on Si Jin's stomach to listen to the movement. Ever since he had fetal movement, he has acquired a hobby. When he has free time, he will listen to it.Occasionally, he would be kicked in the face by the little guy who turned over inside. Whenever this happened, Xiao Qi would always show a very complicated expression.

"It's okay, but it's not honest at all. It's been moving a lot during the day these days, and it's stopped now." In the afternoon, you can clearly see the marks on your belly. This post is definitely not an honest master. Wait until you are born.

"It's good to be naughty, naughty children are smart."

Si Jin rolled her eyes, sure enough, all fathers in the world are egomaniacs.

People from the imperial dining room brought dinner over, Xiao Qi took Si Jin's hand to eat, after the meal, the two walked around the yard a few times, Si Jin sat on the swing to enjoy the cool air.Xiao Qi sat down beside her, neither of them talked about today's election.Xiao Qi was afraid that Si Jin's jealousy would be turned upside down, anyway, he made up his mind not to mention a word to other women in front of her.Si Jin felt that he couldn't take the initiative to mention it. He thought she was jealous, and if he asked again, he might become an upgraded version of jealousy.

Because of Si Jin's frequent cramps at night, Xiao Qi basically stayed at Yihexuan from that day on.Si Jin had long been used to Xiao Qi being by her side, but the queen mother reprimanded the queen, and repeatedly slammed the palace rules on the queen's head word by word.The vixen of Yihexuan didn't show up, and because of her belly, the queen mother couldn't do anything clearly, but the queen was charged with dereliction of duty.

The imperial concubine added a few words of anger to the side, and the queen mother was even more furious.

The queen was overwhelmed with anger, listening to the noble concubine talk about how virtuous and magnanimous she was when she was pregnant and not dominating the emperor.After being scolded, the empress returned to Fenghuan Palace with a dark face. Aunt Tong hurriedly persuaded her, "Madam, the imperial concubine is also in a hurry. Why do you have to be fooled by her to argue with her? Qiao Xiaoyi will die in a day. Enter the palace, then there will be a good show."

The queen let out a long breath when she heard the words, with a smile on her face, "That's right, until that day, it's best for the emperor to stay in Yihexuan. At that time, what face does the queen mother have?" , looked at Aunt Tong and said: "You go to Yihexuan yourself, and you must let Xi Ronghua know how much I have done for her, and she should repay one or two."

Aunt Tong knew that the empress was angry with the splint these days, so she was very angry.I only hoped that this slap would hit the Empress Dowager hard on the face, and said hastily: "The servant waits until the sky gets dark, otherwise, if it is reported to the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager will be unhappy again."

"Ever since I stood next to the emperor, the Queen Mother has never been pleasing to my eyes. If you have any taboos, you can go there openly. Send the ginseng in my private treasury to Xi Ronghua Make up for your body."

Aunt Tong was really taken aback this time, the century-old ginseng is hard to find, "Ma'am, isn't it too expensive?"

"This is for Xi Ronghua's life. When giving birth, it is inevitable that there will be troubles. If the Queen Mother stretches out her hand at the Tai Hospital, this ginseng will save her life. In short There must be no accidents in Xi Ronghua's delivery this time, and I want her to be born in a safe and sound way." The Queen was furious at the Empress Dowager, thinking that since the Queen Mother didn't like Xi Ronghua, she would protect her She, let her give birth to a child in peace, and if she can give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she will also talk about promoting her position.

Thinking of the issue of status, even the queen's expression became dignified.Xi Ronghua is good at everything, but her status is too low. Even if she can steal the emperor's favor in front of the imperial concubine, she cannot be compared with her head-on.Even though she has a virtuous concubine Mei Fei, these two have not been favored for a long time, and they are not confident enough to deal with a noble concubine who has a daughter.

The empress dowager and the imperial concubine were attacking from both sides, and now there was Qiao Lingyi, the empress needed Xi Ronghua to be stronger than anyone else.She looked at Xi Ronghua for two years, and she believed that her eyes could not be mistaken.
