royal princess

Chapter 218 Dou Fangyi Dies 1
The empress dowager made things difficult, the imperial concubine made things difficult, and the empress defended her. Concubine Xi handled everything very gracefully.Even Qiao Lingyi couldn't hold back his anger once, revealing in his words that the Queen Mother actually had nothing to do with Concubine Xi for the time being.

After all, if you want to punish a person, you have to catch her first, but Concubine Xi is so smart that she won't leave anyone with any excuses.Not everyone can enter the Heyi Hall, so there is no way to do it.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to Concubine Xi's return to Yihexuan, at least there is still the boundary of the harem.But I don't know why the emperor had a very unpleasant fight with the queen mother on this issue. In a fit of anger, he actually refused to allow Concubine Xi to leave the Heyi Hall. live.

To be able to protect the emperor so much, Concubine Xi... is really too unpredictable.

"There is no way to rush this kind of thing." The emperor's majesty has become more and more serious in the past six months. Last time when he saw it from a distance in Fenghuan Palace, the expression on his face was expressionless. Just by sweeping it like this, she felt "dong dong" in fear. Jump straight, let's not talk about the front luggage.

"Yeah, it's better if the emperor can see that there are other people in the palace." Qiao Lingyi pursed her lips and smiled, and looked up at Peng Mingwei, "Do you have a program for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Peng Mingwei shook her head, "I won't show my ugliness." She is not as good as those noble girls who have learned since childhood, so it's better not to be ashamed. "Then what are you prepared for?"

Moreover, it is inevitable that Concubine Xi will not be jealous of such a big show.She is not as deep-rooted as others, so she dare not do this.Besides, she always felt that even if she did it, it might not be useful.Since they took part in the draft until now, the emperor has never been seen to go to a place where Concubine Xi was not expecting.

This is an indescribable feeling of powerlessness. If I had known this, it would have been good if I hadn’t been selected in the final selection. Maybe life is much better than now.But thinking of the expectations of the family, he swallowed this thought back. It was precisely because there was a Concubine Xi in the palace that they gathered around like moths to a flame.

Qiao Lingyi listened to Peng Mingwei's question, but shook her head slightly, "I have no intention of doing anything." Competing for favor in front of Concubine Xi like those women, her pride can't do it, she won't make people play monkeys Watching her smile makes her think of something else.

Peng Mingwei sat for a while and then left. As soon as she left, Chu Chenglan came back.

Turning around, he watched Chu Chenglan step into Qiao Lingyi's yard from a distance, and then looked further away. Not far away, the newly renovated Yihexuan had not yet lived in.Yihexuan was originally far away from Suyun Palace, but now that the palace has been expanded, it has more than doubled its original size, and it is very close to Suyun Palace.

Looking from here, inside the high palace walls, the multicolored glazed tiles shone brightly in the sun.The palace built under the supervision of the emperor himself is only waiting for its owner to return.But now, there is still no movement here, which indicates that in a short time, Concubine Xi and the First Prince may still live in Heyi Hall.

As long as their mother and son live there, the emperor will never see others.

Thinking back to that day in the Royal Garden, the newcomers to the palace seldom got together, and every time Concubine Xi was mentioned, everyone had complicated expressions, what else could not be clear?
But, after all, not reconciled.

Concubine Xi also crawled out of the quagmire, and others may not be able to do it.

Whether it's Wang Jingyun or Li Yunxiu, these two people are missing a chance, as long as they can catch the emperor's eyes and let the emperor see them, who can say that their future prospects are not as good as Concubine Xi's?
Last time, people said that even though Concubine Xi is favored, the emperor should get tired of monopolizing the emperor for these years.

Full of thoughts, Peng Mingwei walked to her yard.Her courtyard is the most common in this harem, but it is a side hall, with only three rooms inside and outside, the place is very small, not as comfortable as her boudoir at home.

But if she has no future, she will live in such a small house, perhaps for a lifetime.

Are you willing?
Naturally not reconciled.

"Sister Peng."

When Peng Mingwei heard someone calling her, she immediately stopped, looked sideways, and saw Wang Jingyun coming towards the sun, and hurriedly bowed her knees, "Sister Wang."

"There is no need to be so polite, and there is no one else here. I didn't expect to meet you just in time, and we would talk together as companions." Juanjuan's voice, like running water, beat on people's hearts, soft and warm, making people extremely comfortable.

Peng Mingwei smiled lightly, "My sister can't wait for her."

"Where are you coming from?" The two talked and walked forward. Wang Jingyun looked at the direction Peng Mingwei was coming from, which seemed to be the direction of Suyun Palace, and couldn't help mentioning it in her heart. "Today is a good day to go out for a walk. The sky is clear and the air is refreshing. If you move around, your spirit will come out."

"Sister Qiao asked me to go and talk with her, and we'll come back from there." Peng Mingwei said in a low voice, "Exactly, the sunshine today is really comfortable."

Sure enough, it was from Qiao Lingyi. Wang Jingyun didn't show it at all, but looked at Peng Mingwei and said, "I have made sweet-scented osmanthus tea there, and I happened to meet you to help me taste it. I heard it a few days ago. People say that the empress likes this tea, so let's send some to the empress later on."

Peng Mingwei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately subconsciously glanced at Wang Jingyun. Why did she pull herself in for such an opportunity to show her face in front of the empress?

I couldn't figure it out, but said: "I'm very clumsy, I'm afraid I can't grow anything. I heard that Li Cairen is very proficient in these things. Sister Wang can discuss it with Sister Li Cairen. two."

This is turning a corner and rejecting her, Wang Jingyun didn't seem to understand, she shook her head with a smile, "How can I bother her with this little thing, it's rare on such a good day, since I met it, I went to have a drink." Light it up."

Peng Mingwei couldn't refuse, so she followed Guiren Wang to her yard.Because her status is the highest besides Qiao Xiaoyi, she also has a separate small courtyard. The courtyard is not big, with four main rooms facing south.

Looking at the pattern in the yard, Peng Mingwei felt a little familiar, and suddenly realized it after thinking about it carefully.When she was last year, she passed by Yihexuan accidentally, and found that the courtyard of Yihexuan had such a layout.

Thinking of this, Peng Mingwei regretted coming back with Wang Jingyun, so she had to brace herself and deal with it carefully, not knowing whether she met her by accident, or if she had been waiting there for a long time.She was still too careless, Peng Mingwei was actually a little annoyed.

However, Zuobu Wang Guiren might be asking about Qiao Lingyi. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, these people don't want the other party to show off and overwhelm them.She didn't intend to do anything anyway, but she was still involved. This feeling is really terrible.

When Li Yunxiu heard that Mrs. Wang had invited Mrs. Peng to drink tea, she just nodded slightly, without even a trace of expression on her face, her eyes were looking out of the window, her bright and indifferent facial features made the palace servants on the side hang their heads, but they dared not say goodbye. Have a look.

Their little masters are so beautiful, they are actually no worse than Concubine Xi, but why can't the emperor see it?
If the little lord can be favored, the palace people like them can also soar into the sky.Think about Yunshang and Chen De'an of Yihexuan. When they were assigned to Concubine Xi's side, many people saw their jokes, but now?
Dou Fangyi glanced at Qi Ronghua, and said in a low voice, "Should I inform Concubine Xi?" She was actually a little worried, and she always felt something bad.As an old man who has been in the palace for so many years, Dou Fangyi has long given up fighting for favor. When there was no Concubine Xi, the emperor didn't like her either.Now that Concubine Xi has a place where even noble concubines can retreat, she has nothing to complain about.What's more, following Qi Ronghua on Concubine Xi's boat, her life has really improved a lot, and the palace people have treated her kindly and attentively.

Qi Ronghua shook his head, "Your Majesty must know what we need to say. These people are nothing more than clowns, unless..." Unless these people really have something eye-catching, the emperor's eyes You can't see other people here.

Although she didn't know how Concubine Xi was so favored by the emperor, she knew that there was only one Concubine Xi in the harem.

"I'm always a little worried."

"You're still too timid."

"I don't ask for anything now, I just hope that I will be safe in the palace and don't cause trouble to my family." She can't bring glory to her family, she just hopes that other people's family will cause trouble, and that's all she can do too much.

Qi Ronghua patted Dou Fangyi's hand, "It's not very good now, it will be fine if it continues like this, don't worry so much, nothing will happen."

Dou Fangyi nodded, looked at Qi Ronghua with a smile, and then said: "I... I know."

Qi Ronghua frowned, Dou Fangyi seemed to have something to say, but she didn't want to say it anymore, after thinking about it, she still didn't ask.She was too timid. She was afraid that if she asked, she would scare her again, so she might as well wait a day before asking.

Dou Fangyi didn't sit for too long, and got up to leave. When she left, the sky was bright, and the sunset covered half of the sky, as if the whole palace was dyed with a layer of red light.

Seeing such a scene, Qi Ronghua's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and suddenly he felt an incomprehensible worry.

When the night slowly rose, Si Jin was grabbing things with her son, she thought that the Empress was right, she couldn't really let him grab a box of rouge and gouache, and she wouldn't be laughed off.Therefore, a series of rouge boxes were placed on the couch, in various colors and textures. As long as he reached out to take them, Si Jin would take them away, and then told him solemnly, don't take them!
The little guy had a good temper, and the box was taken away many times, but he didn't cry aloud, but sat down on the couch and looked sideways at his mother.After a while, he seemed to understand something, picked up the remaining rouge box on the couch, and stuffed it all into his concubine's arms.
