royal princess

Chapter 281 Good Omens

Fenghuan Palace.

Aunt Tong quietly opened the curtain and walked in, and saw the empress sitting on the big couch by the window, staring out of the window for an unknown amount of time.

Feeling slightly sour in his heart, he walked over slowly, squatted down and bowed, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

The queen didn't turn her head when she heard the voice, she still stared out of the window, and said after a while, "I'm not hungry, auntie, let's go."

"Madam, you can't go on like this, you have to eat something, don't ruin your body." Aunt Tong said, her eyes were red.

The queen turned her head and looked at Aunt Tong with her eyes. She was the only one left who could still love her so much.Smiling slightly, he said: "Auntie, don't worry, the palace will be fine. The harem is so turbulent, even if the emperor wants to deal with it cruelly, I, the queen, will be fine for the time being. After all, the emperor and queen are one, we You have to save face for him."

Aunt Tong was taken aback, "Ma'am, is this true? But..."

"No, but, it is precisely because the emperor wants to move the Chu family, so he will save the last dignity for me. It is to show the emperor's kindness to the people all over the world, so I naturally have to cooperate." The queen smiled lightly, "After so many years, I I have paid a lot for the Chu family, and to this day, they have kept my position, how fair it is."

"Your Majesty..." Aunt Tong knew that the empress must be very sad, so she pretended to be relaxed.

She was so sad that she was about to cry. The empress was like this, but she didn't want to be watched by the people in the harem.

This time, a figure of a little palace maid flashed past outside the door curtain. Aunt Tong saw it and walked out quietly, "What is it?"

"Auntie, it's Aunt Jiang from Yihexuan who is here." The little palace maid bent her knees and said.

Aunt Tong looked up and saw Aunt Jiang standing in the yard, smiling at her.

Although Aunt Tong didn't know why Aunt Jiang came here, she didn't dare to neglect her at this time.

Right now, the most stable and most promising person in this palace is Concubine Xi.

Thinking back, Concubine Xi had to rely on the Empress to protect her, but now, after only a few years of work, it has reached the point where Feng Shui has taken turns. Thinking about it is really embarrassing.

"Aunt Tong." Aunt Jiang came forward and curtseyed, with a respectful attitude.

Aunt Tong had mixed feelings in her heart, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Aunt Jiang, who would dare to trust her in such a situation, "Aunt Jiang, don't be too polite, you are here this time, but what's the matter with Concubine Xi?"

"Yes, our majesty has something to tell the empress empress, and ask aunt to convey it for you." Aunt Jiang replied with a smile.

"Aunt Jiang, wait a moment, I'll report it now." Aunt Tong estimated Aunt Jiang's attitude, thinking that there must be good news from Yihexuan, she even walked briskly.

Soon Aunt Tong came out with a smile on her face, and said to Aunt Jiang: "Your Majesty summons, Aunt Jiang invites you."

Aunt Jiang faced Aunt Tong Fufu, raised the curtain and walked in.

Tong Gugu looked up at the sky, her heart skipped a beat, if Concubine Xi could give Empress Empress a hand at this time, Empress would definitely be able to pass the test safely.

I just don't know if Concubine Xi is willing to do such a thing at this time. After all, the Chu family is facing a catastrophe, and most people are not willing to take risks by themselves.

Aunt Tong stood guard outside the door, and it took half an hour before Aunt Jiang came out, and she sent her out with a smile.After returning, he looked at the main hall anxiously, wondering if he should ask.

In the main hall, the empress looked both happy and sad. Thinking back to Aunt Jiang's words, she never expected that Concubine Xi would give her a hand at this time.

If you do this, it will be a very beneficial thing for her.Even if I can guess that the emperor will not abolish the empress immediately, but if I leave myself in this position unwillingly, it will always be a hidden danger in the future.

But if I can take the initiative to take a step at this time...

His dignity and the dignity of the emperor can be protected.

Concubine Xi gave her an excellent step.

The imperial concubine and Qiao Xiaoyi secretly murdered the concubine Xi many times, the emperor would never spare them lightly, because the imperial concubine had no chance of getting up.If the imperial concubine fails, it is impossible for me, the empress, to fall together with the imperial concubine. All the high-ranking concubines in the harem will be disposed of overnight, which will be extremely bad for the royal family's reputation.

At this time, I need to be the queen to maintain the face of the royal family for the emperor, so Concubine Xi wants her to start with Princess Yuzhen...

Speaking of which, the imperial concubine is really stupid as a pig, holding a golden baby in her arms at this time, but she doesn't know that she is sitting on a treasure mountain, and she even ignores this treasure mountain.

Is it really smart to be confused all the time?

"Aunt Tong!"

"Your servant is here." Tong Gugu came out immediately, looked at the queen and bowed, "What orders does your empress have?"

"I have something important for you to do."

The queen made up her mind, no matter what, this opportunity must not be missed.

In Yihexuan, Si Jin is taking Yu Qin to eat with Xiao Qi.

During the dinner, Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin, "I heard that you sent Aunt Jiang to Fenghuan Palace?"

Si Jin already knew that she couldn't hide it from Xiao Qi, so she nodded, looked at her and said, "No matter what, the empress empress has always supported me. If it wasn't for her, I might not have been able to wait for you in the early years. Although Later, the empress also alienated me for the sake of the family, but she never had the intention of harming me.'

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin silently.

Si Jin stared into his eyes, and smiled helplessly, "You are such a person, you don't listen to good words, you insist on listening to the truth. In fact, this is really one of the reasons, and there is another reason. After all, Yuzhen is a child and your daughter. If this continues, sooner or later she will be destroyed by the noble concubine. Instead of waiting until that day, it is better to free her early. Moreover, there must be someone in the harem Stand up for you. I can't, not to mention that I'm pregnant, and I can't be deterred by my position. The empress has presided over the harem for many years. It can't be said that it is flawless, but it can be regarded as fair and just. It has been spread a long time ago, and with the Empress standing by your side, you will be much more relaxed."

"So you sent people to see the queen?" Xiao Qi said.

"The empress can actually think of it herself, but Yihexuan stepped forward. After all, I am the only favored concubine who was not affected by this storm. My presence is tantamount to a hint, and it can be regarded as a disguised peace of mind." Si Jin felt that it was unprecedented for Concubine Chong to do this.

Xiao Qi shook his head helplessly, "I didn't want you to worry about these things, but in the end it bothered you."

"You and I are one, so there's no need to say these polite words. Up to now, it's just a matter of saying hello to me. Besides, what trouble can I suffer if you're here, it's just a word or two."

Xiao Qi put food for her in a bowl, you are probably the only one who thinks about herself all the time.

Seeing that Xiao Qi didn't speak, Si Jin looked at her and said: "Princess Yuzhen's arrangement, what are your plans?"

"Why, someone came to you to intercede?" Xiao Qi laughed.

"I really can't hide anything from you, and it's not someone else, it's Qi Ronghua."

"Qi Ronghua?" Xiao Qi was really taken aback, "Her?"

He remembered that there was a grudge between Qi Ronghua and the imperial concubine.

Si Jin nodded, "No, I really admire Qi Ronghua a little bit."

Immediately, Si Jin repeated Qi Ronghua's words. She tugged at Xiao Qi's sleeves and acted like a baby, "I can trust Qi Ronghua's character. Anyway, I will never give you up to anyone in this life. Even if it was Qi Ronghua, I would not agree. Since she wants to raise Princess Yuzhen, let her raise it. With her character and heart, she will definitely be able to raise the princess well, which is much more reassuring than handing it over to others."

Xiao Qi laughed, and said for a long time that he was jealous again.

After dinner, Xiao Qi played with his son for a while, then sent him to bed, and then said, borrowing from the previous words: "Leaving aside Qi Ronghua's character, in this harem, she can speculate with you only by I also agree with you recommending her, near Zhu Zhechi, a kind-hearted person like you always has a kind heart when he gets along well with you."

Si Jin gave Xiao Qi a blank look, the words of love came from his mouth, and he became more and more familiar.

But I like it very much.

"That's my suggestion. If you have other plans, just pretend I didn't say it."

"I originally wanted the Queen Mother to raise Yuzhen."

"The Queen Mother?" Si Jin frowned. Can the Queen Mother raise Yuzhen well?Don't raise another Qiao Xiaoyi.The queen mother is Xiao Qi's adoptive mother after all, so there are some things she can't say.

"I'll think about it."

Si Jin nodded, "I haven't had much contact with the Empress Dowager and her elders, so you can figure it out."

As he spoke, he sat in front of the bronze mirror and removed his hair, and called someone in to wash and change clothes.Xiao Qi went to the clean room to tidy himself up, and when he came back, the two of them put down the tent and continued talking.

"When this incident is over, you will probably have a baby. At that time, I will be able to spare time to be with you. This little thing will choose the time to come out." Xiao Qi put his hand on Si Jin's stomach , smiled softly.

"Isn't that right, it looks like he really knows how to choose a date." Si Jin laughed too, not to mention that this child will be reincarnated, he will also choose a time.

"When the time comes, there will be big events at the third day and the full moon. It will be lively and bustling. This is a sign of good times."

Listening to Xiao Qi's words, Si Jin slowly fell into sleep.

good sign?

Waking up early the next morning, Xiao Qi had already gone to court, Si Jin got up slowly, and Yu Qin had already played in the courtyard.

His laughter can be heard through the window, cheerful and joyful, which makes people feel better after listening to it.

Yunshang and the others waited on the lady to get up, wash and change her clothes, and after breakfast, Aunt Jiang came in and bowed to Si Jin, "My lady, Aunt Hua from the imperial concubine's side has sent a message and wants to see you. "

Si Jin blinked and looked at Aunt Jiang, "When did it happen?"

"Half an hour ago, because the empress was eating, the slaves did not disturb me." Aunt Jiang replied with her head bowed.

Si Jin smiled slightly and looked at Aunt Jiang, "Do you know why the imperial concubine wants to see me?"

"I don't know, but I think I just want to ask your mother to see the emperor."

It is already well known in the palace that noble concubines are unable to see the emperor.

"The imperial concubine is really interesting, how did she know that I would agree to her?" Sometimes Si Jin really couldn't understand the thinking of these ancient people, what seemed completely impossible to her was taken for granted by them.

"Perhaps the imperial concubine thinks that she can convince her, and the servants also think that it is better for her not to take risks. After all, the empress is heavy now, if the imperial concubine has a broken heart..." Aunt Jiang was very worried and tried her best to persuade her.

But Si Jin recalled the scene when she saw the noble concubine for the first time. She was elegant and beautiful, just like the clouds in the sky, which made people look up.

But now, the noble daughter of the aristocratic family with her head held high can only wait for her to decide whether to see her or not.

It's just a few years of hard work.

This thing of power and grace is indeed fascinating.

"Go and tell Aunt Hua that if the imperial concubine wants to see me, she can come to Yihexuan. I won't go to Changle Palace." Si Jin wanted to know what the imperial concubine was going to do, but she didn't want to take risks in Changle Palace. It can only be so thoughtful.

Aunt Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Yes, this servant will go and answer."

Yu Qin picked a peony flower, trotted over, stuffed it into Si Jin's hand, then turned and ran away again.

Looking at the flowers in her hand and her son's back, Si Jin put the flowers under her nose and sniffed lightly, showing a cheerful smile.

"The eldest prince is so cute. He picked a flower and ran over to give it to his empress." Yun Shang smiled briskly, and even the palace people around her also laughed.
