royal princess

Chapter 178 He will protect her from now on 1
It's just that I am unlucky today, and I just fell into this place.When I see my cousin in the future, I always have to act like I don't know anything, so that my cousin thinks that all of this is the work of the imperial concubine, and that she is just the one who was calculated from the beginning to the end.Qiao Lingyi lamented that it was unlucky for him to meet such a bad thing, and he was quite happy talking and eating, but now for a cup of tea, he was labeled with ulterior motives, really aggrieved.

Qiao Lingyi went all the way back to Suyun Palace. When he passed Yihexuan, he glanced sideways, and saw that the door of Yihexuan was closed tightly. After only one glance, he lifted his foot and left.

Si Jin had given up hope and was about to take a nap, but Xiao Qi came, looking at the large tea stains on his clothes, Si Jin couldn't recover for a moment.What happened in Changle Palace? Why did you come here in such a mess?

Probably because Si Jin's gaze was too obvious, Xiao Qi felt a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, "Get me some clothes first."

"Oh." Only then did Si Jin come to her senses, and she opened the box and took out the clothes with her belly out of the way, without using the palace guards.What I took was not the comfortable long gown that I usually wear here, but the big clothes that I would wear to meet people in Chongming Hall.Passed it to him around the screen, and saw that the inner coat was also soaked in tea stains, so he quickly brought over another set of underwear.Take out the clothes that Xiao Qi had replaced and let Yun Chang and the others wash them quickly. After a long time, the tea stains will become difficult to wash. Xiao Qi's clothes are made of expensive materials and cannot be rubbed vigorously.

After changing clothes and coming out, Xiao Qi's face was still as dark as the bottom of a pot.Si Jin didn't know what happened at the moment, but seeing Xiao Qi coming to her to change his dirty clothes, all the worries, nervousness, and dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

Looking at the time, he said: "Squint for a while, I will call you in two quarters of an hour."

Xiao Qi shook his head, there was still room for sleep, and he felt more comfortable seeing Si Jin's normal expression and not asking him what happened.He took Si Jin's hand to let her sit beside her, then looked down at her belly, and asked softly, "Is the delivery date coming soon?"

"Well, it hasn't been long since the imperial doctor said it. It may be earlier or later." Si Jin replied, thinking that Xiao Qi didn't mention the matter of Changle Palace at all. It seemed that he was disgusted. Not sure what happened.

Si Jin talked about the mischievous things about the baby in her stomach these days, because the delivery date is approaching, the fetal movement has decreased a lot recently.Si Jin ramblingly told Xiao Qi what he likes to eat recently, how many laps he takes every day, how many hours he sleeps, and occasionally mentions the legend that the concubine outside criticizes her for seducing him with a back view.

Si Jin would say a few words whenever she thought of something, and there was no coherence in what she said before and after.Xiao Qi just listened quietly like this, and occasionally interrupted to ask a question, the anger in his heart slowly subsided, he didn't need to make himself angry because of other people's schemes.If he told Si Jin that he was being plotted against, she would probably laugh again.

Xiao Qi only felt that his concubine used such a method to plot against him to be favored. Xiao Qi only felt that this matter was very disgusting.I didn't think there was anything in the past, women were always playing tricks, but now that I have someone I like, and looking at those methods that are not on the table, I have a disgusting feeling that I can't get up and down.

Others only regard him as an object, a ladder to climb up.Only the heartless person in front of him would see him as his own man.

After being cared for by others, I know that there is a kind of feeling in this world called thinking about you.Si Jin always thinks about whether he likes it or not, and whether she treats him well before doing anything, and never plots against him or uses him.

All her scheming has been used on him, so he will just protect her in this palace from now on.

There are no secrets in the palace, and the news of Xiao Qi's anger from Changle Palace quickly spread throughout the harem.But no one knows the specific situation, except that the emperor lost his temper in Changle Palace.Immediately after Changle Palace, another little maid was sent out. It is said that she was ill and moved out because she was afraid of hurting the little princess.

Some people said that the palace man was wounded, and no one knew why the little palace man didn't speak up.This matter is not a big deal, it is too common for slaves in the palace to be sent out, it is only because the emperor left Changle Palace in anger at the beginning of this matter, so it was speculated by people.

But within a few days, several versions of the rumors in the palace appeared.The noble concubine was naturally very angry, but the queen did not take action to suppress it. As a noble concubine, she did not have the right to assist the sixth palace, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow this breath.She also knew in her heart that the queen didn't do anything to suppress it, it was just disgusting her.

Qiao Lingyi has been very quiet in the past few days. Apart from greeting the Empress and the Empress Dowager every day, she just stayed in the Suyun Palace peacefully, usually not even stepping out of the gate of the palace.

Su Rui handed over a greeting card to Si Jin, but Si Jin didn't see her, so she really didn't have a good impression of this cousin of the same clan.One more thing is worse than one less thing, so I simply closed the door to thank the guests, and even said hello to Qi Ronghua.

For the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, Si Jin didn't plan to go with a full stomach, and the queen didn't plan to go to Si Jin either.Afraid that Si Jin would think too much, she asked Aunt Tong to go there in person. Aunt Tong looked at Si Jin's belly and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's kind intentions. There are many people at the banquet, so I'm afraid that something unexpected will happen. It stands to reason Master Xi should go, but the delivery date is only a few days away, so you should be more careful about everything. Master wants to be lively, and when the baby in her belly is born safely, there will be some lively times in the three full moons and one hundred days."

"Don't say that, Tong aunt. I am young and ignorant, but I know that the empress treats me well. Is this something for my sake? No matter how stupid I am, I can understand a good heart. After the aunt went back, she said to the empress, I'll kowtow to the empress after the child falls to the ground." Si Jin really felt grateful to the queen, without the queen's escort these days, she couldn't feel so at ease in the palace.Especially when the queen mother came back, it was the queen who stood in front of her, saving her a lot of trouble.

No matter what the Queen's plans are, the two of them are getting along happily so far, and Si Jin remembers her favor.

When Aunt Tong heard the words, she was very considerate in her heart, and it was not in vain for the empress to make troubles for Xi Ronghua, and the queen mother was often splinted.Thinking of what the Empress Empress entrusted, she looked at Xi Ronghua and said, "The nanny at the Inner Palace has already been selected, but it's just that Master Xi needs to take a closer look. When the time comes, the roster will call someone , the master chooses by himself. These people are all people who have passed through the inner court and the empress again, and are clean and available."

This time Si Jin was really stunned, seeing Aunt Tong speechless for a moment.To be honest, Si Jin thought a lot about the nanny before, but Xiao Qi said that she didn't need to bother about this matter, he had already made arrangements for the inner court.It's just that I didn't expect the queen to be so generous. If it were someone else, he would have inserted one or two people in.

Seeing Xi Ronghua's expression, Aunt Tong left contentedly.

Those who know how to be grateful are worthy of their mother's trouble.

The queen smiled when she heard Aunt Tong's words, and gently cut off the flower branches with the silver scissors in her hand, and said: "The greatest advantage of Xi Ronghua is that he does not fight or grab. The more he is like this, the more I am willing to praise you She is most worried about the child in her stomach being adopted by Bengong, and now she should know what Bengong means."

"Mother, are you really planning to not have this child?" Aunt Tong tried to persuade her a few more words.

The queen waved her hand, looked at Aunt Tong and said, "Do you think the emperor will agree? What's more, the family sent Cheng Lan in, and they would definitely not agree to me raising Xi Ronghua's child. Anyone's child is raised, why bother?" When the time comes, I will have a bad relationship with Xi Ronghua." As soon as the words fell, the queen thought about her concubine sister, and hummed softly in her heart, want to have a child?As for the ambition that can't be concealed in her eyes, is it because she thinks about giving birth to a child in the future, and even her is underfoot?
She agreed to the family sending him into the palace at the beginning, but now seeing Chu Chenglan like that, she couldn't hide her thoughts, and she got bored of it.She had planned on the child in Xi Ronghua's womb, but as the emperor made more and more noises in the court, her uneasiness became more and more serious.Now even the connection between the harem and the outside of the palace has been severed, which shows how much the emperor hates them for exchanging news with their family members.

It's not that she's not afraid, but rather than being afraid, she thinks that if she wants to secure the position of queen, and if she wants to stabilize the Chu family in the future, she must not fight head-on with the emperor.I don't see the daughters of aristocratic families who entered the palace this time, it doesn't matter if their grades are low. Up to now, the emperor has not favored to summon them. It can be seen how much the emperor is against these daughters of aristocratic families in his heart.

Letting them enter the palace is just to stabilize the hearts of the aristocratic family.

As for Xi Ronghua, the queen didn't think the emperor was really moved.After all, Xi Ronghua's family background is slightly inferior compared to their daughters from aristocratic families, and her father and brother also have some real skills that are reused by the emperor. Seeing Xi Wanyi also makes sense.

I just don't know what will happen to Xi Wanyi when the emperor is in power?
Thinking of this, the queen chuckled, who in this palace is not pitiful?Even the emperor is one of them, it's just to see who will survive in the end.

It's just pitiful for those of them who entered the palace for their families, caught in the middle, and dying of pain.

"Miss."

The queen was brought back to her senses by Aunt Tong's voice, "What else is there?"

Aunt Tong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the empress should also bother to keep the emperor, and she can't keep pushing it away."
