royal princess

Chapter 79
"See you or not?" Xiao Qi asked without raising his head.

The manager settled down for a while, and then said: "Master Xipin has not summoned the family."

Xiao Qi was taken aback for a moment, raised his thick eyebrows, and pursed his lips in silence.

Guan Changan didn't dare to show his air, wishing he could shrink into a ball to reduce his sense of existence.In fact, she was a little displeased, Xipin might not know what the emperor meant, she sent all the papers to see her, and it was obvious that she wanted her to meet her family.But Concubine Xi refused in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.The empress and noble concubine have a deep family background, so the emperor can't easily move, but a little concubine Xi, can the emperor still not move?
It's just been favored for a few days, but he dared to make a face, which provoked the wrath of the Holy Spirit, and he was a good looker.

Xiao Qi couldn't figure it out. The last time Concubine Xi didn't see her family, it could be explained that she didn't want to attract people's attention.Now the zhezi has passed through the queen's hands, and the queen is standing in front of her, so why is she missing?
The more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand it, the darker my face became, and I could almost drip ink.

Fenghuan Palace.

The queen knelt quietly on the futon in front of the Buddha, twirling a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, chanting scriptures softly in her mouth, the thick sandalwood in the room was almost choking.

Aunt Tong stood aside, bowing her head to serve.Whenever the empress is in a bad mood, she would come here to chant scriptures. This time the emperor has indeed gone too far. It is fine to hold the imperial concubine, but a little concubine Xi has to be blocked by the empress, what is it? thing.No wonder the empress is in a bad mood, but now that the imperial concubine is in the limelight, the empress can no longer mess with the emperor as before...

Sighing softly in my heart, I looked up at the time, and then bent forward, "Niang Niang, it's been an hour, it's time to get up."

The queen slowly opened her eyes, paused for a moment, then supported Aunt Tong's hand to stand up, looked at her and said, "It's so fast, it seems to be here in the blink of an eye."

"Your Majesty is pious, so I feel that time flies." Tong Gugu smiled and helped the Empress to go out, and she said as she walked, "Concubine Xi didn't agree to see her family. Concubine Xi asked Madam when she would come to thank her."

The expression on the queen's face softened a little, and she breathed a light and relaxed, "It's still a sense of humor."

"She was held up by the empress with one hand, so she naturally knows the height of her eyebrows and eyes. If the empress can lift her up, she can naturally press her down."

The queen laughed lightly, with a bit of joy on her face, and said: "Concubine Xi is very knowledgeable, and I won't lose her. Open the treasury and reward her with a few bolts of silk that were newly brought up this year, and the colors are bright and bright. Yes. She is at the age of flowers, and she is suitable for dressing up."

"Yes, your majesty is generous, Concubine Xi will be grateful. Concubine Xi has grown a lot taller after autumn this year, and the cloth for tailoring clothes at Yihexuan is a bit tight." Aunt Tong laughed.

The queen also smiled, "After the new year, Concubine Xi will be 14 years old, and the distance is only a year or so away. It's a good time." She was also able to serve the bed in time for Ji, and by that time, she did not believe that the noble concubine could still outshine others.

The emperor... Holding the imperial concubine in such a way is just because of the piece of meat in her stomach.Others can't wait for her to act as a queen, but how can she be so stupid.The crime of murdering the emperor's heir is not light. As a queen and the mother of a country, how could she fall into the trap of others.

This time the emperor deliberately used her hand to lift up Xipin, and asked her to stand up for Xipin. She didn't know the emperor's plan, or she hoped that she and Xipin could break up.It just so happens that this is also an opportunity, and she also wants to try it out, what will Concubine Xi choose.Looking at it now, Concubine Xi is a kind person, and it is worthwhile for her to spare no effort to protect her.

If it is that ungrateful person, there is no need to keep it.

As for the emperor... the empress' complexion was slightly gloomy, remembering what her father said in the letter, it seems that the emperor is going to make up his mind to make Concubine Su's family and theirs at odds.In this way, the imperial concubine really gave birth to a son. If it is true as the emperor said, this child will be too honorable...

Under the light of the imperial concubine, Qian Cairen's birth was like a joke.The empress was also a bit anxious, she was not in a hurry, but now the emperor's full attention was on the concubine's place, and he would not set foot in the harem easily, even if he came to the harem, he would only go to the concubine's place.Holding, protecting, and pampering like this is indeed the most important person in the emperor's heart.

The good mood just now seemed to be gone all of a sudden, the queen looked at Aunt Tong and said, "Is there any movement from the imperial concubine?"

"It's strange to say that the concubine is very calm this time, and she didn't move at all." Aunt Tong was more anxious than the queen, and she wished that the concubine's birth would have problems all at once.If the imperial concubine is really allowed to give birth to the prince, there is no place for others to stand in this harem, and even their empresses might have a place to retreat.

"The noble concubine has always been very scheming, and she is stable. If this is the case, you should be more stable." The queen looked at Aunt Tong and said sharply, "In the future, people who see the noble concubine should not conflict with her, and it is not the case in this palace. The imperial concubine covers the sky with one hand, and there are many people staring at her stomach, I am not willing to take the blame for others."

"Yes." Aunt Tong replied with a frightened heart.

"Where is Concubine Xi?"

The queen leaned on the soft pillow, thought for a while, and then said: "There is no need for Xie En, just let her rest in the cold. You tell her, don't leave the emperor alone, and fight for what needs to be fought." .Even if the face of this palace is protected by me, it still depends on her."

"Yes." Aunt Tong replied softly, seeing that the queen had no other orders, she bent down and backed out.

The cold wind was blowing outside the gate of the hall, and it blew on people's faces like knives, but Aunt Tong looked up at the gray sun hanging in the sky, but her palms were covered with sweat.

The empress pushed concubine Xi to compete for favor, Concubine Mei and Concubine Yugui had been dissatisfied for a long time, and now they are not mentioned at all, probably because they know the tricks behind their backs.The empress said that if Fenghuan Palace doesn't take action, Concubine Xian and Concubine Mei may not be able to sit still, they have always been at odds with the imperial concubine, in the past they were often protected by the empress, who knows after that?The only worry is that they don't implicate the empress when they do things.

After listening to Aunt Tong's words in the Yihexuan, Si Jin solemnly expressed her gratitude to the queen, looked at Aunt Tong with slightly moist eyes and said, "Your Majesty treats my concubine as much as a mountain, and I can't repay you. The girl told the empress that the concubine will definitely live up to the entrustment of the empress."

Aunt Tong smiled with satisfaction, "At the beginning, the empress loved the master Xi concubine very much as soon as he entered the palace, so she insisted on keeping the master in the palace. Now it seems that I have seen the right person, and the empress must be very happy to know."

"The concubine is very grateful for being favored by the mother, and will definitely repay it in the future."

After sending Aunt Tong away, Si Jin sat on the big couch and looked at the rewards on the table, feeling extremely glaring.The emperor competed with the queen, and it was extremely difficult for her to be caught in it.The emperor thought well, but he forgot that in this harem, she still depends on the queen's face. If she really did what the emperor wanted, what would she do these days?
Now she didn't do it according to the emperor's mind, I'm afraid he is angry with herself at the moment.The queen pushed her to compete for favor, so how could she let Xiao Qi put out the fire?

After thinking about it, Si Jin couldn't think of a good idea for a while, and couldn't help feeling very melancholy.With the wolf in front and the tiger in back, the enemies are looking around, what should she do?

Guan Changan walked quickly with his hands in his sleeves, a thin layer of snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and the cold wind seemed to soak his bones.

"Master, why are you here now?" He Shiyi hurriedly welcomed Guan Changan into the duty room, took the dry handkerchief on the shelf next to him, knocked off the snow from his body, and hurriedly handed over his own warm Small iron hand warmer for hand use.

Guan Changan's palms felt warm, and he felt a little more comfortable. Sitting on the chair, He Shiyi hurriedly changed his shoes.Seeing that the shoes are soaked, it means that they have been walking in the snow for a long time, "Master, why don't I get you a basin of water to scald your feet?"

"Knowing that you are filial, I still have to work as an errand, don't bother me." Guan Changan only asked He Shiyi to change his clean shoes and socks, and let him wash his hands before he said, "Working on the emperor's errand, don't worry about it." I can't bear this bit of suffering, and I deserve to say that I am serving in front of the imperial court, how can I be so delicate."

"Yes, what the master taught is true." He Shiyi replied with a smile. Others watched them serve the scenery in front of the imperial court, but only I knew that I dare not slack off all the time. .Yesterday, his master went five or six times outside the palace to proclaim the decree. When he came back, his whole body was going to be frozen, so he couldn't complain about it. How many people were staring at this errand.If you dare to cry out, someone will immediately push you.

Bringing a cup of hot tea to Master, he said in a low voice, "There are people from Fenghuan Palace and Changle Palace early in the morning, Master, what should we do?"

Guan Chang'an was not in a hurry at all, he took a sip of tea before he asked, "What did they say?"

"I didn't say anything bad, but Mao Donglin at Changle Palace has a bit of a bad look on his face." However, the emperor has treated Changle Palace better recently, and this dog servant is proud. Although he is not very experienced, he is serving the imperial court after all, which makes him look bad. For whom?

Guan Chang'an glanced at He Shiyi, and said unhurriedly: "Anyone who inquires about the news will not know it. If you dare to spit out a half-word about the news before the imperial court, if you don't need the emperor, I will kill you."

"How dare I, with Master's teachings, even if I die, I don't dare to talk too much."

Guan Changan nodded, "Hold on to this one, if you don't speak up, they can still beat you?"

This is true.

He Shiyi smiled and squeezed Guan Changan's shoulders and beat his back, and said quickly: "Thank you for reminding me, Master, it's not that I don't have ideas in my heart, I still need Master to give me a reassurance."

After all, there are few things, and some people can't hold it.Guan Chang'an treated this apprentice with not [-]% sincerity, but [-]% or [-]% sincerity. In this deep palace, it is lucky to be able to be so kind to the times.Speaking of which, eunuchs are all people who have lost their children and grandchildren. In the future, they also hope that someone will be sent to the old age. He Shiyi is accepted as an apprentice, and he also values ​​his heart and is kind.After all these years, I really have some sincere suggestions.
