royal princess

Chapter 298

"Sister Yu." Li Qingyao looked sideways at Yu Yunying on the other side.

Yu Yunying met Li Qingyao's eyes, "What's wrong?"

"The one opposite is Bao Jing, do you have any impression?" Li Qingyao matched the other's glance and said in a low voice.

Yu Yunying looked towards the opposite side calmly, and saw a woman with not very delicate facial features, but a soft and good-looking woman.I saw that she was sideways talking to Qiao Wan in a low voice, with a faint smile covering her face, with an indescribable softness.

"I have some impressions, but not very deep." Yu Yunying said, so this one is Bao Jing. Such an appearance is not outstanding in the harem, but it has a certain temperament, even if it is with Qiao Wan, it is not too much. Will be overwhelmed by Qiao Wan's appearance.

Yu Yunying was really interested.

"Looking at her appearance, talking intimately with Qiao Wan, it's quite generous."

"No, at the beginning I thought she was honest and almost fell for her tricks." Li Qingyao was still a little annoyed thinking about it, and her eyes became sharp.

Perhaps Li Qingyao's eyes were too substantial, Bao Jing on the opposite side seemed to feel something, and looked in the direction of the two of them.Li Qingyao looked at Li Qingyao in a daze, but soon returned to normal, smiling and nodding at them, with a gentle and kind appearance.

Li Qingyao was so disgusted that she felt suffocated in her heart.

Yu Yunying looked at Bao Jing, thinking in her heart that this one is really a formidable opponent.Moreover, she and Qiao Wan are also getting close, but she should be more careful in the future.Li Qingyao's temper is too impulsive, don't let her take advantage of her.

Qiao Wan glanced at this side, lowered her voice and sneered, "Did you offend them? I looked at Li Qingyao as if she wanted to eat you."

Bao Jing sighed helplessly, "Sister Qiao really likes to joke, I really don't know how I offended Li Guiren, she always looks at me like this these days."

Qiao Wan said: "This person was very domineering when he first entered the palace. Even if you don't offend her, she doesn't like it when she looks at you. Don't pay attention to her, she's just a person without a good brain."

"Sister Qiao seems to have had some disagreements with Li Guiren before?" Bao Jing asked in surprise, looking completely unexpected.

Qiao Wan responded softly, "When I was in Mingxiu Palace, I shared a room with Yu Meiren, and that Li nobleman was very arrogant."

Bao Jing sighed, "Li Guiren's father is highly valued by the emperor, and he has made great achievements. He does have the capital to be arrogant here. Unlike me, my sister is also very lucky to be protected by the empress dowager. "

Hearing Bao Jing's disappointment, Qiao Wan glanced at her, and said calmly: "Back then, nobleman Su also had a distinguished family, so what about now? Concubine Xi's natal family used to be a branch that was driven out by Su in Quzhou, so what about now? It can be seen that family background has nothing to do with being favored or not, the key is to look at the emperor's heart."

Speaking of the emperor, the two of them got closer, and Bao Jing said: "We have all been in the palace for so long, and others are fine. The nobleman's father has made great achievements, and she herself is not inferior to the imperial concubine in appearance. The emperor hasn't flipped the card yet, which is really unexpected."

Qiao Wan's long eyelashes covered her eyelids, and she said after a long time, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, who knows?"

"Everyone envies Noble Concubine Xi, the emperor treats her really well, she has been staying in Yihexuan for more than a month." Bao Jing said softly.

Qiao Wan's voice became even weaker, "What's the matter? Ever since Concubine Xi became favored, the emperor has never touched anyone else. It's been more than three or four years."

Bao Jing was immediately dumbfounded, three or four years...

Concubine Xi is the only one in the emperor?

Among them, Concubine Xi gave birth to two children, who were pregnant for ten months, and the emperor never found someone else?
How is this possible?
Looking at Bao Jing's astonished gaze, Qiao Wan smiled, "You don't believe me? It's true. My sister said it herself, she was the last show girl, and she knows far more than us. You Look, Concubine Xi has such a high wrist, as long as she is as stable as a mountain, the emperor will never see others in his eyes."

Bao Jing's heart beat like a drum.

Now the emperor has not yet arrived, and neither has Concubine Xi.

It must be that the emperor is going to bring Concubine Xi with him, so Qiao Wan's words are correct.

With noble concubine Xi around, the emperor really couldn't see other people in his eyes.

It would be fine if Concubine Xi was not here.

It's good to be dead.

Seeing Bao Jing's head lowered slowly, the smile in Qiao Wan's eyes deepened, but the expression on her face did not show. Looking at Bao Jing, she added, "If Mrs. Li can be present at the Dragon Boat Festival She is showing off her demeanor, such a stunning beauty, maybe the emperor can take another look at her."

Bao Jing gently picked up the teacup, bowed her head and took a sip, she knew that Li Guiren was the most showy person.It's not impossible to want her to show off here.

The Dragon Boat Festival was very lively, with all kinds of songs, dances and music, especially the new song and dance performed by Si Lesi, which was indeed very innovative and won a lot of applause.

The queen opened her mouth to reward, and Si Jin also rewarded, and Xiao Qi took a look at Si Jin, and also rewarded.

Everyone could tell that the emperor had no intention of rewarding it, but seeing Concubine Xi giving it, he followed suit.I don't know if it's for Concubine Xi's face, or if I really feel good about it.

Si Jin took a mouthful of fried shrimp, turned her head to Xiao Qi and said in a low voice, "You also join in the fun."

Xiao Qi nodded solemnly, "They can make you happy, and they deserve to be rewarded."

Si Jin just laughed, amazing, this love story is really getting better and better.

The queen looked at Xiao Qi and Si Jin, calmed down, then looked at Si Jin and said softly: "Dragon Boat Festival is not interesting just watching these kabuki performances, it's better to let everyone have fun."

Si Jin froze for a moment, looked at the queen with a smile on her face, "What good idea does your empress have? The concubines are the most tired and lazy, and I just watch the excitement."

The queen glanced at Si Jin, but did not look at the emperor. She glanced at the people in the hall, and said slowly: "The new concubines in the palace are at the age of lively and active, but they can be moved around. What do you think?" ?” At this point, there was a pause, “Besides, there are only one or two opportunities a year, so it’s hard to mention it or not.”

The queen told Si Jin in a roundabout way, anyway, these people are nothing to worry about, and they can't snatch the emperor away, so it's better to make a high profile and earn a bit of fame for herself.

Si Jin is really not too worried about Xiao Qi being snatched away, but she can't say how comfortable she is. This feeling is that she has raised a pot of peerless famous flowers, and she absolutely does not want to be snatched away by everyone.

But the queen also has her own difficulties. It is actually very good to be able to discuss with her in this way.

"What the empress said is that we are sisters in the same palace, so we should be lively and lively." Si Jin smiled sweetly.

The queen looked at Si Jin and nodded slightly, "I am very pleased that you can think this way. One day, in your position, you will know that there are some things you have to do."

Why is the queen's words so strange?She didn't want to compete with her for the second place, so why did she have to do it?
Si Jin's heart moved, and she looked carefully at the queen's complexion, and saw that although her face was covered with makeup, she could still see her blood wasted, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

The queen's body is afraid that it is not as good as before, so that's why she secretly taught herself like this?

"The empress?" Si Jin looked at the empress and spoke softly, but she didn't know how to say what to say next.

The queen looked at Si Jin, "Man's fate is predestined."

After finishing speaking, the queen stopped looking at Si Jin, and instead smiled at the people in the hall and said, "Both my palace and Concubine Xi feel that today's banquet is very lively, and I heard that the younger sisters who have just entered the palace are all talented people. If you are willing to come forward and show your talent, it will bring fun to everyone, so you can come forward as much as you want."

As soon as the queen said this, the hall suddenly became lively.

The concubines who had just entered the palace were very excited, but the virtuous concubine and concubine Shu looked like Si Jin at the first moment. They couldn't imagine that noble concubine Xi would agree to such a thing. Wasn't she afraid that these people would leave a mark in the emperor's heart? Make a good impression?

Xiao Qi pursed his lips, and withdrew his eyes from the queen, the starlight in his eyes fluctuated, making it hard to see what he was thinking.

The Queen's conversation with Si Jin in front of him was nothing more than to tell herself her attitude.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin and sighed in his heart, everything was fine, but his heart was too soft.

But...the queen really had some kind intentions.

Probably, the queen is for the descendants of the Chu family.

Picking up the wine cup and taking a sip, Si Jinsu filled the pot with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Drink less."

The corners of Xiao Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he put down the wine cup he was holding. He really became more and more like a housekeeper, and now he even cares about how much wine he drinks.

The two of them are used to getting along, and sometimes they are too skillful in speaking and doing things. Si Jin knew something was inappropriate as soon as she said something, but fortunately her voice was not loud, and she was relieved.

The queen's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly, she still pretended to be drinking tea, and did not look towards Xiao Qi and Si Jin.But there was an indescribable sense of loss in her heart, she and the emperor were obviously a married couple, and they should be deeply affectionate and affectionate as husband and wife.

But she missed it.

Concubine Xi...

The queen put down the teacup, and the smile on her face deepened.Everyone has their own fate, and what everyone wants is directly proportional to what they pay.

Concubine Xi is indeed worthy of the emperor's heartfelt treatment. If she can never come back, the queen doesn't know how she should choose.

Abandoning her family... She still can't do it.

So ah, fate.

The queen opened her mouth, and the concubines below became lively. Yu Yunying stood up first and looked at the queen, "Concubines are not talented, so I would like to present a sword dance to cheer everyone up."

Si Jin also became interested. She guessed a few people, but she didn't expect that Yu Yunying would be the first to stand up.

Sword dance requires a combination of hardness and softness. If you can't grasp the strength well, it will be a four-dimensional thing, which will only increase the laughingstock.

Yu Yunying's daring to perform dances in public must be because she has great confidence in her dancing skills.

Among them, standing up and performing arts, with a graceful posture, took the lead, which can not only impress Xiao Qi deeply, but also beat the new concubine with skills. This Yu Yunying is not vulgar in terms of scheming or skill.

"Okay, I really want to see your heroic sword dance." The queen nodded with a smile.

Yu Yunying bowed and saluted, and then said: "Please forgive the emperor and empress, the concubines go to change their clothes first."

"Yes." The Queen nodded in agreement.

Yu Yunying knelt down to salute, then turned and walked out.

Si Jin turned her head to Xiao Qi and said, "This is quite interesting, I didn't expect that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the palace."

Looking at Si Jin's narrow smile, Xiao Qi really couldn't laugh or cry: "It was you who promised to perform, and now you are saying this in front of me again, what do you want me to do?"

As he said that, Xiao Qi picked up the food himself, instead of putting it on the plate in front of Si Jin, he directly brought it to her lips.

Si Jin was stunned, this... this is in front of all the women in the harem, is it really good to show such affection?

But it's so cool!

Si Jin opened her mouth and swallowed it, then saw Xiao Qi took the same dish and put it in his own mouth.

Xiao Qi didn't use the serving chopsticks, and there was still saliva from her biting on the chopsticks.

In modern times, who cares about this matter, but this is ancient times!
Si Jin was dumbfounded, and then the queen shook her hand, spilling a little water in the teacup.Pretending to be nothing, he put down the teacup and quietly wiped his hands with a handkerchief.With a calm expression and completely ignorant look, he looked at the people below.

Guan Chang'an lowered his head, the emperor obviously had serving chopsticks, but he discarded them, obviously because he wanted to save face for Concubine Xi.He would only stop it if he was stupid, and it's actually quite good to pretend that he can't see anything.

Even though the queen and Guan Changan were used to seeing Xiao Qi and Si Jinxiu loving each other, they still felt a little unbearable.

Don't talk about the ones you haven't seen before, everyone looked shocked, and there were turbulent waves in their hearts.

The emperor actually...

There is Concubine Xi's saliva on it!

At this time, Yu Yunying came back, dressed in a sword dance costume, holding an unopened iron sword, and saluted the empress.

The sound of the orchestra sounded, and Yu Yunying danced lightly, with a vigorous and graceful figure, beautiful and neat movements, and she really had the demeanor of a sword dance.

Few of the people below went to watch Yu Yunying's dance, and everyone's eyes fell on the emperor.I saw him happily serving Concubine Xi some food, and occasionally tilting his head to whisper in her ear, he saw Concubine Xi with a thin face, red ears, and her eyes were really charming and attractive Attention.

Although Yu Yunying's dancing posture is extraordinary, but the emperor seems to prefer to see Concubine Xi's affectionate and angry appearance.

After the dance, Yu Yunying left the stage sadly, her hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly in the armhole, her face was pale.

There was sarcasm deep in Qi Zhaoyi's eyes, these people really overestimated themselves, did they think they could get the emperor's favor?
Seeing Yuzhen drowsy, she hugged her body and patted her on the back lightly.Qi Zhaoyi looked at Li Guiren who was the second to play, and really wanted to sing a song to cheer up.

The singing voice is melodious and clear, the timbre is unparalleled, and I am very outstanding, but what's the use?

The emperor didn't look at her from the beginning to the end, his eyes were still on Concubine Xi.

There will always be someone in this world, no matter whether she is good or bad, beautiful or ugly, right or wrong, as long as she is in your heart, no matter how you look at her, she is number one in the world.

Who would have thought that the emperor would be the kind of infatuation that is rare in a thousand years?

Ha ha.

Qiao Wan sent a piano sound, and Bao Jing's humming sound matched, but it was useless.

Si Jin was stuffed for a long time, and she kept her mouth shut and refused to eat again. Didn't she agree to let these beautiful girls perform?
She should be the one who is jealous, right?
Xiao Qi, you show your affection in public, do you really think she can't see that he did it on purpose?

This bastard!
