royal princess

Chapter 81
"Slave and maid greet the chief manager." Yun Chang smiled and bowed his knees.

"Miss Yunshang, you're welcome, get up quickly." Guan Chang'an said with a smile.

Yun Chang felt that Guan Chang'an's grandson was sometimes very hateful, but he didn't dare to offend the big red man in front of the imperial court, so he could only apologize with a stiff face, stood up and saw Chen De'an trotting over, he was relieved.Ask Chen De'an to entertain Guan Chang'an, and go outside to wait for his master to order others.

In the room, Si Jin was actually a little uneasy. She knew that she had offended Xiao Qi when she saw the family affairs, but she had no other choice.At this time, I can only serve him tea and water like a grandson, beat his shoulders and back, think of her as a good girl of democracy and freedom, but live humbly in this evil old society, and I will inevitably feel wronged in my heart.

Here Xiao Qi was very angry at the beginning, thinking that Si Jin was so ignorant of good and bad, he should teach her a lesson.The anger in my heart has not yet subsided, but I saw the little girl's eyes turned red for no reason, she felt wronged first, what is this?
He stretched out his hand and pulled Si Jin to sit beside him, and looked at her with a stern face, "You'd be ashamed to be wronged, all my good intentions have been trampled on by you like a donkey."

Si Jin hurriedly got up to apologize, but Xiao Qi held her hand and pushed her back forcefully. Si Jin looked at him, but she knew that Xiao Qi had good intentions, but... such a great blessing, she couldn't bear it .Thinking about it now, if Xiao Qi made a big promise in the court, and the courtiers devoted themselves to the king's affairs, and she made him miss her so much, there was only joy in his heart, so there was no reason to be afraid.

Speaking of which, after all, it was Xiao Qi who was unstable, and she also drifted with the tide, with nothing to rely on.

It's just that she knew what she said in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it and couldn't say it, so she could only hang her head halfway.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin's appearance and said, "I used to think that you were a heartless and silly girl, but now I know that you also have your own thoughts."

This was a serious statement, so Si Jin raised her head to look at him, and hurriedly defended herself, "The emperor wishes to be a concubine, and in the harem, the concubine must abide by the palace rules."

Even though Xiao Qi still felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, he thought about the faces of those old men in court as an emperor, not to mention how difficult it was for Si Jin, whose natal family was weak, to gain a foothold in the harem.Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the two were in the same situation, and a little bit of sadness came to my heart.

"So you have the audacity to reject my offer?"

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"Don't dare? I think you are very courageous."

Si Jin pursed her lips and said nothing more, Xiao Qi understood why he did what he did, and he was just annoyed that he was not on his side.

Why is she afraid to stand?

But now he doesn't have the real strength to protect her.

The two of them knew this well, but neither of them said it.

Xiao Qi took the initiative to come to Yihexuan and gave her the steps, Si Jin was relieved, and naturally served this Buddha more carefully than before.Xiao Qi was very busy with things in the court because of Qian Ding, Enke, and disaster relief money.In the harem, Si Jin didn't say anything more after presenting the last booklet. She and Xiao Qi had no relationship basis, and sometimes men still like silly women.

It snowed heavily all night, and Si Jinye only felt a little cold in the middle of the night, and leaned against Xiao Qi to absorb the warmth. When he got up in the morning, he only looked at the bright white reflected by the window. He pulled up his shoes and opened the window to look out. Joyful, she turned her head to look at Xiao Qi, "It's snowing so hard."

Xiao Qi was being dressed by Guan Chang'an. Hearing Si Jin's words, he turned around and looked outside, only to see a thick layer of white snow on the ground.He didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, the snow was heavy, and his heart felt like a heavy stone was pressed.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Si Jin over, closed the window, bowed his head and said, "The cold wind blows in, and you will feel better.",

When Si Jin was slightly stunned, she saw Xiao Qi then close the window, dragged her to the outside room, pressed her shoulders to let her sit down, and heard him say, "I won't be able to come for lunch today. , I'm afraid I'm busy."

If the snow is really a disaster, there is indeed something busy, Si Jin nodded understandingly, "The concubine knows."

Xiao Qi's black eyes fell on Si Jin's face, looking at her, seeing that she had nothing else to say after saying this, a little disappointment welled up in her heart.Guan Changan came over with a fox fur cloak and put it on him, Xiao Qi had no choice but to walk out, but he still wanted to go to court.

Si Jin sent Xiao Qi out, and when she came back, she was still thinking about why Xiao Qi looked at her strangely, as if she was waiting for something, and she didn't miss anything?

After much deliberation, she didn't come up with a reason, so Si Jin sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to dress up. Today, she was going to Fenghuan Palace to pay her respects.Since the beginning of winter, the empress sympathizes with the concubine empress and Qian Cairen's pregnancy, and the day of greeting has become once every three days.The imperial concubine is a person who puts the child in her belly more important than herself, please An has never done this since she was found pregnant.The queen's involvement with the noble concubine is actually just in her heart to protect the rich and talented people in a different way.

Everyone knows it, but no one dares to say it.

After breakfast, Si Jin arrived at Fenghuan Palace. The Fenghuan Palace was still very lively, and the laughter and laughter in the warm palace made the white snow all over the sky cold and ruthless.

Si Jin won the Queen's protection, and now she has to be Feng Xipin, even though everyone is jealous, she dare not say anything too much in front of the Queen at this time, she can only secretly sarcasm.Si Jin wasn't that thin-skinned either, she pretended not to hear it, and smiled like a flower, looking silly, she was really a green camellia with dewdrops on it.

Si Jin sighed melancholy in her heart. She never imagined that she would have such a chance to taste green tea, which is so despised by modern people, once she was reborn in this life.Thinking back at the beginning, she looked down on people who behaved like this very much, but now she has to pretend like this, life is really like a drama.

Seeing Concubine Xi being teased by Concubine Mei and Concubine Qu, and seeing her with her head down halfway and her expression of bewilderment and cautiousness, the Queen felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Concubine Xi is still young. , and the skin is thin, so don't make fun of her."

Concubine Mei has been relying on the empress for the past few years, she has a pretty face with a bit of heroism, pinching the handkerchief and said: "The empress is so partial to sister Xi, the concubine is going to be jealous."

Hearing Concubine Mei's seemingly fake and true words, Concubine Xi quickly said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "The Empress treats all sisters generally well."

Concubine Mei was taken aback for a moment, Concubine Qu on the opposite side covered her lips and laughed softly, her eyes that were as clear as water and spring were lingering on Concubine Xi, she said slowly: "Sister Xi Concubine is really an interesting person, no wonder The emperor loves his sister so much."

As if Si Jin didn't know what Concubine Qu meant, her bewildered expression immediately pleased everyone. There was constant laughter in the hall, and Si Jin sighed inwardly, the fucking green tea job is really hard to do.

When the queen finally said that she was tired and asked everyone to leave, and specially arranged a warm sedan chair to send the pregnant Qian Cairen back to Jingyuexuan, everyone's attention shifted from Si Jin to Qian Cairen.Qian Cairen's face was a little pale, and he became more and more cautious and didn't even dare to speak aloud.

After leaving Fenghuan Palace, Yun Shang quickly put a hooded cloak on Si Jin, and helped her walk all the way to Yihexuan.

Si Jin walked more than a dozen steps, listening to the vague laughter behind her, she knew what everyone was talking about without turning her head.Either talking about my stupid and ignorant appearance, or talking about the pregnant Qian Cairen, this palace man, who is not doing well, feels extremely uncomfortable seeing the one who is doing well.

At this moment, Si Jin knew that there was a big difference between being protected by the queen and not being protected.

All the way back to Yihexuan with thoughts, didn't want to step in, but saw Xiao Qi who came back from the next dynasty sitting in the room.Si Jin immediately had a smile on her face, smilingly waiting for Yun Shang to give her the cloak, and then stepped forward to salute.Just squatting down and before opening her mouth, Xiao Qi helped her up, took her by the hand and let her sit beside him, then he heard him smile heartily: "Guess what I brought you?"

Si Jin hadn't recovered from the surprise that Xiao Qi came over after leaving court, but she was surprised to hear that there was still a gift for herself.

Ever since Si Jin turned over, Xiao Qi had written down a thick volume of things he appreciated, but every time Guan Changan brought someone with him, and never Xiao Qi delivered them in person, so Si Jin was astonished. It makes sense.

Seeing Si Jin's appearance, Xiao Qi became more and more happy, stretched out a fist and clenched it tightly, just like this in front of Si Jin's eyes.

Si Jin raised her head and glanced at Xiao Qi first, but her mind was spinning extremely fast.When Xiao Qi left this morning, he still looked worried about the heavy snow. How could he be so happy when he came back early.Either it was comforting that there was no snowstorm this time, or there was a big happy event in the court.

Si Jin's heart turned quickly, but she didn't dare to show it easily on her face, she just looked at Xiao Qi, gently shook his sleeves and asked softly, "Your Majesty is teasing me again, I can't guess Let me show my concubine what it is."

Xiao Qi was indeed in a good mood, and he didn't continue to embarrass Si Jin, so he stretched out his palms.

Si Jin looked down but was taken aback for a long time, the smile on her face was a bit stiff, and she saw a pair of gourd-shaped garnet pendants lying quietly in Xiao Qi's white and generous palms.There was a sudden pain in my heart, and the memory of the original owner flooded my heart like a flood.

"This is the jewelry that the concubine used to wear in her boudoir. Why...is it here with His Majesty?"

"Aren't you happy?"

Listening to Xiao Qi's answer to the wrong question, Si Jin couldn't say whether she was happy or not, but now she knew how to put on a very happy look in front of him, so she nodded slightly.Stretched out a white finger to take it from his palm, and put it in front of his eyes carefully, this pendant was given to his sister by the original owner's brother.
