royal princess

Chapter 296 Being Utilized 3
"It depends on the fabrics selected by the emperor himself, the style drawn by himself, and the will made by himself." Yu Yunying said, and then looked at Li Qingyao, "Not only that, but I heard that the Department of Decoration Bureau has also received an order to make it for Concubine Xi. The whole set of jewelry is also painted by the emperor himself. Not only that, but even the Si Sheju is busy because the empress Xi said that the bed curtains are too thick and the color is dull, and the Si Sheju is embroidering and embroidering the clothes overnight. Concubine Xi's favorite bed curtain. I heard that it is the pattern of melons and grandchildren, and it was also ordered by the emperor himself, and the color was chosen by the emperor himself."

The king of a country is so busy with court affairs.But the emperor is willing to spare time to paint the clothes and jewelry for Concubine Xi stroke by stroke, and to choose the color of the bed curtain for her. Let alone the king of a country, who is the husband of an ordinary family, who would do this.

At least, she'd never seen her dad do that.

"Sister Yu..." Li Qingyao's face was frighteningly pale, "Imperial Concubine Xi..."

Yu Yunying lowered her head halfway, and after a while she said, "Can't you see it?"

"See what?" Li Qingyao didn't understand.

Yu Yunying didn't have to look at Li Qingyao very understandingly, suddenly she didn't want to say anything.So what if you say it, so what if you don't say it, the emperor is holding Concubine Xi in the palm of his hand.

Such feelings made her really envious.

Concubine Xi is really so good that the emperor can treat her like this.

I remembered that there were many concubines in the family who gave birth to children for their father, and there were also many concubines who could be charming, but I didn't see any of them who could be treated like this by my father.

So, is it because the emperor is too affectionate, or is Concubine Xi too cunning?

Seeing that Yu Yunying didn't speak, Li Qingyao shook her sleeve lightly, "Sister Yu, why don't you speak? Let me tell you, Concubine Xi is not born with an unparalleled appearance. Falling in love with her, do you think she has some kind of vicious kung fu? I have heard people say that some women are..."

"Shut up!" Yu Yunying's face turned pale with fright, "What are you talking about, don't you die?"

"I just talked to you, and I didn't say a word to others." Li Qingyao was startled by Yu Yunying's tone, and her heart was pounding.

"If you don't want to die, just talk nonsense. Where did you hear that?" Yu Yunying really had a headache.

"It's... a beautiful girl who entered the palace with us said it. She said that there are many women in the south who only know how to serve men and use them to win men's hearts. Isn't Concubine Xi born in the south? Maybe it will, I'm telling the truth." Li Qingyao said aggrievedly.

"Even if it's true, you can't say it, let alone you can't prove it. Besides, your status is low now. If these words reach Concubine Xi's ears, do you think she will let you go?"

"Who made her so domineering, why do she dominate the people in the Six Shang Bureau, clothes, jewelry and curtains, others have to wait, who knows when to go, but everything in Yihexuan is the most important thing."

Hearing Li Qingyao's complaints, Yu Yunying had a headache and was angry. Except for Yi Hexuan, who in the harem doesn't complain?
But why would Concubine Xi dare to do this?It's not that the emperor favors and indulges her.

"Don't be stupid, if you don't want to think about it, our clothes have to wait. The ladies and ladies below the noble concubine Xi will not wait? You see the concubine Xian, the concubine Shu, and the concubine Li, who is complaining? Who dares to talk to you? Did Yi Hexuan do the right thing? Why don’t you think about this strange wind, is it because others are encouraging you and expecting you to make a fuss? When the time comes when you really do make a fuss, you will be punished in the end who is it?"

"I……"

"Use your brain when doing things. Don't listen to the wind and rain. Believe what others say. We are all newcomers to the palace, and our foundation is not stable at all. Especially your appearance is the best among the newly promoted girls. Others don't mean to kill two birds with one stone, so why bother to be that outstanding bird for others." Yu Yunying can only say that, even if the two families are on good terms, but Li Qingyao is too brainless, if this continues , I have to be dragged down by her to death.

At this time, Li Qingyao's furious heart slowly calmed down, "It was Bao Jing who hurt me, and she told me these words."

"Bao Jing?" Yu Yunying frowned slightly, and couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.

"It was the one who stood with us and divided the palace when we were selected. He was quite handsome."

With some impressions in Yu Yunying's mind, she looked at Li Qingyao and said, "Stay away from her in the future, why doesn't she tell others? Since she feels so unfair, why don't she seek justice by herself? It's up to you To start a fire here is nothing more than to see that you have a bad temper and want to make trouble with you."

"I know, if I see her again, I will definitely not spare her lightly!" Li Qingyao said angrily.

"You're stupid again, why can't you spare him? He just said a few words casually, without any basis and no basis. Who else would believe your words? At that time, with Bao Jing's three-inch tongue , with your ability, you can only suffer a loss."

"Then...then let her go like this?"

"What are you in a hurry for? If she doesn't get what she wants from you, she will definitely encourage others. Just wait quietly, before the Dragon Boat Festival, something will happen. It's okay, if someone is so talented, she can just try it Try the depth." Yu Yunying said slowly, not afraid of being stupid and bold, but afraid of not being stupid and bold.

It is best if someone is willing to make a move.

Thinking of this, Yu Yunying looked at Li Qingyao, and told her softly: "If that Bao Jing comes to you again, don't show your thoughts on your face, try her best, and see her Besides looking for you, who else are you looking for, you can always see the clues."

"Sister Yu, what do you want to do?" Li Qingyao said.

"What we can do is just keep our duty. But what others do, we can watch it."

Li Qingyao didn't quite understand.

Seeing Li Qingyao's bewildered expression, Yu Yunying didn't explain any more, but secretly thought that the recent news about the Dragon Boat Festival came out, and everyone wanted to make a good impression in front of the emperor, but it really was like this is it easy?
Is it really a coincidence that the emperor is making clothes, jewelry, and curtains for Concubine Xi with great fanfare?

And Concubine Xi, who has been in the palace for so many years, doesn't she know how eye-catching and hated this incident is, so she doesn't know how to restrain herself?

A few days ago, she faintly heard that something happened to the eldest prince, and she couldn't find out the specific news, but if the news is true...

After Yu Yunying thought about it, there were only a few who dared to play tricks around the eldest prince, so concubine Xi wanted to use the Dragon Boat Festival to scare the crowd to demonstrate, or was she trying to find out the real culprit behind the scenes?

No matter what it is, this is something she can't participate in in this position in front of her. The only thing she can do is to protect herself in this huge wave.

However, Li Qingyao, who has no brains, is still booing with others, and she doesn't even know that she is being used by others.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were bound together as soon as they entered the palace, she really didn't want to keep reminding her like this.I don't know which day, maybe I will be dragged down by him.

"Sister Yu, I suddenly remembered that Bao Jing seemed to have some contacts with Qiao Wan. But when I met that day, she said that she just passed by occasionally. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Don't you think so? Is Qiao Wan playing tricks on me behind my back?" Li Qingyao said with her eyes wide open.

"Qiao Wan?" Yu Yunying frowned, "Are you sure you saw it right?"

"That's right, it's just that Bao Jing was eloquent at that time, and I didn't become suspicious when she explained it in a few words. Now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit suspicious." Li Qingyao was angry. She and Qiao Wan had a grudge after entering the palace. of.

Yu Yunying was pensive when she heard the words, and she said after a while, "This is really interesting. Many things are definitely not as simple as what you and I see, so don't act impulsively."

Although Li Qingyao is impulsive but not stupid, she has a bad temper but she can endure it, she nodded after listening to Yu Yunying's words, "I know, Sister Yu, don't worry."

The sunlight outside the window gradually became hotter, and the heat rose from the ground, which made people's hearts a little restless.

The two sat facing each other, and didn't know what to say for a while, because the matter of the Liushang Bureau cast a great shadow on them.If it was said that when he first entered the palace, he was full of ambition and confidence, but now no one dares to say whether he still has this hope.

The tea gradually became cold, Li Qingyao stood up, turned to look at Yu Yunying, "Sister Yu, I don't want to accept my fate, I don't want to just die alone in this palace."

"Who is willing to accept their fate?" Yu Yunying sighed softly, "If she accepted her fate, why would the empress dowager let Qiao's daughter into the palace? The previous one had a childhood sweetheart with the emperor, so what will happen? But It’s just human obsession.”

"So what if it's obsession?" Li Qingyao looked at the sunshine outside, "The days will always get better, but if you don't fight for it, no one will ever come to you. Sister Yu, I If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be able to live in despair."

Li Qingyao left, Yu Yunying didn't call her this time.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

Similarly, if a person is determined to do something, you can't persuade her no matter what.

"My lord." The maid Tao Xin opened the curtain and walked in slowly, watching Bao Jing bow her knees and salute.

With a delicate face, Bao quietly sat on the big couch by the window, resting his chin on the flowers and plants outside the window, his eyes flickering.

It is said that the palace is big and there are few concubines in the palace, but there are four of them living in this palace, and it is Li Xiaoyi who lives in the main palace.

Speaking of this Li Xiaoyi, I am afraid that everyone in the harem knows that she was a show girl in the previous session, but she has never been favored.This time the emperor sealed off the harem, only to seal the position of Xiaoyi.

Living with such a person, he usually wouldn't even dare to speak loudly, let alone show the slightest hint of happiness in the palace.

None of the masters in the main hall are favored, who do you like to show them to?
Isn't this deliberately embarrassing others?
Therefore, the beautiful girl they live here is really miserable, and they wish they could move out.

The place where she lives is just a side hall, a small room, not as spacious as the place where he lives at home. Every day in this world of Mopan, it really drives people crazy.

I heard that Concubine Xi's Yihexuan, after the expansion, is only a place for the First Prince to play in the West Garden, and it will be as large as other people's palaces.Thinking about it is really enviable, she once pretended not to go to the Royal Garden to play, turned a corner and took a look at Yihexuan from a distance.

It was bigger than their house, let alone the small side hall where I lived.

At the beginning of the draft, she was very ambitious, but now she really entered the palace, but it was a little different from what she had imagined.At the beginning, the nurturing mother had carefully instructed her that she must not be curious when entering the palace. No matter what happens, she must use her own eyes to see it, and don't listen to what others say, and don't watch others do it.

Thinking of Concubine Xi who lived in the Yihexuan, Bao Jing's expression slowly sank.The foster mother said, after entering the palace, refrain from showing off, refrain from taking the initiative to compete for favor, and calm down to stare and watch.

When newcomers enter the palace, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at you, maybe the emperor will look at you too.If the face is ferocious and loses dignity because of jealousy, the emperor will not like a jealous woman.

She remembered these words firmly and in her heart.Concubine Xi has already given birth to two children, even if she is favored, how long will it last?

The emperor really won't get bored?
Concubine Xi just happened to be by the emperor's side when he was in decline.

So he is more advanced than others in the eyes of the emperor, but how much and how long can this kind of favor last?
The palace maid Taoxin saw that the young master was in a daze again, she felt timid, but she still stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My young master, it's not summer yet, and the room is still a bit chilly, why don't you go out for a walk outside. The sun is shining, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, and it is good to enjoy the scenery."

Bao Jing's thoughts were interrupted, she turned her head to look at the maid she was serving, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's not interesting to go out, it's better to sit in the room."

Tao Xin brewed tea and placed it on the table respectfully.

Bao Jing glanced at her, and said in a seemingly unintentional way: "I heard that everyone has been a little bit angry recently, but you heard something is going on outside?"

Tao Xin was still young and didn't have much scheming. Hearing the master's question, she said in a low voice: "I've heard about it, but it's nothing serious. Anyway, no matter what happens, the unlucky ones are always the other people in the end."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Bao Jing asked Tao Xin to sit down on the brocade tree, and pushed her portion, a plate of candied fruit, over to her to eat.With a soft and gentle smile, people can't raise their defenses at all.

"The slaves used to work in Mingxiu Palace, so they don't know much about the affairs here. However, in the past few years since the slaves entered the palace, there have been several incidents in the palace, and many people have collapsed, but everyone is bent on scheming Your noble concubine Xi has always been as stable as a mountain. Don't look at the noise outside this time, what's the use?" Tao Xin pinched a piece of candied fruit and ate it, her mouth was sweet, and she started talking more.

Bao Jing lowered her brows, then raised her eyes again, showing that soft smile again, "Imperial Concubine Xi is an auspicious person, so she is naturally fine."

"Isn't that right? People in the harem say that Concubine Xi's life is precious. When Concubine Xi entered the palace, she was relegated to a remote palace like Yilanxuan. But God opened his eyes. A heavy rain sent the emperor to Yilanxuan to shelter from the rain, and there he saw Concubine Xi. Since then, Concubine Xi has been waiting to change clothes, and has been in the position of concubine today."

Bao Jing was taken aback, she had seen Yilanxuan that day, and it was indeed relatively remote.But now the maintenance is better, even if it is uninhabited, it is still cleaned.

From the last time to change clothes all the way to the position of noble concubine, I don't know how many people fell down, but the one who had the last laugh was indeed noble concubine Xi.

Even if Bao Jing was killed, she would not believe that Concubine Xi had no means, but her means were not discovered by the emperor.

It would be great if she could expose Concubine Xi's false face...

Si Jin had no idea that she was being missed, and wanted to expose her false face. Today, she was playing with Yu Qin on the slide in Xiyuan.

The deluxe version of the slide is so comfortable that even she can go up and slide. The mother and son had a great time playing.

After Xiao Qi came back from court, he couldn't find anyone. He heard that their mother and son were here, so he came over directly.Yu Ze was having fun on the little slide over there being held by the nanny, and here I saw Si Jin and Yu Qin looking like mice, crawling around in it, and then slid down in circles .

When Si Jin came down, she saw Xiao Qi's figure, waved at him, and slid down with a shout.

Xiao Qi came over, looked at her sweaty face, and said with a smile: "How long have you been playing?" Then he took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, she looks like a child no matter how old she is.

"It's only been half an hour." Si Jin said with a smile, "You come too, let's go together as a family."

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows.

Guan Changan saw it, and hurriedly led his people back to the door to guard it.

When he turned around at the door, he saw Concubine Xi dragging the emperor into the slide.

Well, even things like slides can be played by the emperor, Concubine Xi, you are awesome!
Yu Qin was being chased by his father and screamed, while Si Jin was watching and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.Finally tired, he simply went to Yu Ze to look at the little one.

I saw him moving his small body, bit by bit, and rubbed off from above.

It's also a little trick.

Playing until noon, Xiao Qi held one in his arms and led another in his hand, and Si Jin followed him in disgrace, and the family went back to wash.

When Si Jin came out after changing her clothes, she cleaned herself up, and Xiao Qi took her two sons outside to clean up.

It was passed that the family had lunch together, so Xiao Qi asked Yu Qin to take Yu Ze to take a nap.

On the other hand, he took Si Jin's hand and looked down at her, "Did you have a good time today?"

"I am happy every day."

Xiao Qi's eyebrows widened in an instant and he smiled, these words sounded comfortable, and he just wanted her to be happy.
