Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 318 The King Is Dead (22)
Thinking of her, she said to Qu Xiuchan as if nothing happened: "It's okay, just order food if the food is bad, I will think of a way, it won't always be like this."

"What can we do, the two of us have no status in this palace..." He took out a steamed bun from his sleeve, handed it to Xianglai and said, "Here, I found this while they were not paying attention, you eat it Bar."

Xiang Lai held it in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't remember how long it had been since he hadn't worried about a bite of food, and now he had to be stolen by someone else to eat a steamed bun!

She slowly tore the steamed bun in half, handed half to Qu Xiuchan, and said, "I can't eat so much."

Qu Xiuchan tore the half back into one piece again, and said, "I'm alone, you two, eat more."

Xianglai ate slowly and said: "Sister, if there is a day when I return to Beiliao, I will definitely take you out of this palace."

Qu Xiuchan's body shook slightly, and she said softly, "Okay, I'll wait."

After eating, Xianglai stopped staying in the room, stood up and rubbed her stomach, and said: "Sister, I heard that it is better to move more in the late pregnancy, why don't you accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Qu Xiuchan obviously disagreed, and said: "There are too many people there, what are you going to do, if you want to walk around, I will take you elsewhere."

But Xianglai said stubbornly: "No, I just want to go to places with many people."

Qu Xiuchan didn't know what she meant, so she followed her and said, "Okay, then let's go to the Imperial Garden."

So the two walked slowly towards the imperial garden against the sun.

Summer afternoon is when it is hot, and it is also the time when people are sleepy. The Jingchun Pavilion, which is noisy at other times, is silent at this time, presumably Tao Yu is taking a nap.

Xianglai and Qu Xiuchan walked around here a few times, seeing that even Xiangjin didn't come out to find fault with her, she probably fell asleep and was about to go back and wait for the next day, but the two hadn't walked out of the imperial garden yet, but they heard Someone shouted from behind: "Ms. Qu!"

Xianglai and Qu Xiuchan looked back, but they saw a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old. This kid had a powdered face, long eyebrows and big eyes, and was very energetic.

Qu Xiuchan said: "Prince, why are you here?"

The child approached, first looked at Xianglai's big belly, then at her face, and said to Qu Xiuchan, "I'm here to find my father, I want to resign as the crown prince... "

He pointed to Xianglai and asked: "Which empress is this again, do I want more brothers and sisters?"

Qu Xiuchan said: "This is the concubine of Beiliao, temporarily living in the palace, she is not pregnant with your younger brother or sister."

The young man nodded and said: "Oh, so she is the princess of Beiliao. I heard that Mrs. Qu was sent to serve the princess of Beiliao. I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect it to be true."

Qu Xiuchan was a little unnatural by what he said, but for Tong Yanwuji's sake, he was not angry with him, and asked: "Why did the prince resign from the position of prince? Many people can't think of it. Here we go!"

The young man lowered his head and said: "I, I'm afraid... like Brother Twelve, he has Madam Qu to protect him... No more, I don't even have a mother, and I won't be able to live for a few days as a prince!"

Qu Xiuchan didn't know whether he was touched by the sad thing or was surprised that he could think of so much, so she didn't answer for a while.

Seeing that she was silent, Xianglai said to the child: "Your father seems to be taking a nap, you may have to wait to see him."

The child said "oh", looked over at Jingchun Pavilion, turned around and said, "I heard that there are two concubines from Beiliao, one with a big belly and the other with my father. Really?"

Xianglai's face was a little cold, and said: "That is not the princess of Beiliao, no one in Beiliao will recognize her again! In our eyes, she is just a despicable woman who betrays her country and seeks glory..."

While she was talking, Lian Xiangjin's ruthless voice came from Jingchun Pavilion: "Lian Xianglai! Did you come here on purpose to seek death?! I am a hero of Nan Liao, how dare you scold me here! Is it because you, the Northern Liao, do not intend to obey the control of the Southern Liao!"

Xianglai turned her head to look, and saw that she had come down the stairs, besides the two court ladies following her, there were several Tao Yu's concubines watching from the pavilion on the top floor, including that Concubine Qiong, They all had smirks on their faces, probably they were the ones who encouraged Lian Xiangjin out.

What Xianglai wanted was this effect. He had no strength in Nanliao Palace, so he could only rely on those concubines who were jealous of Lian Xiangjin. As long as he got this head right, a group of people would rush to bite him.

So she stood still and said sullenly, "I'm just stating a fact. No matter how much the people of Nanliao praise you, you are a traitor in the eyes of the people of Beiliao! Let your husband poison your father without stopping , Instigated Lu Fusheng to surrender to the enemy and treason, offered poison to Shi Yan to harm his compatriots, and threw himself into the arms of others during his husband's funeral, evaluate for yourself who you are!"

Lian Xiangjin was so annoyed by what she said, she knew that the women by her side didn't want to make friends with her at all, but came to compete with her for favor, and she wished for such an opportunity to laugh at herself.So she shouted angrily: "Lian Xianglai, do you think this is in Beiliao? Luo Jinxing will support you in everything you do. You have to remember that you are just a hostage now! If it wasn't for wanting your stomach If the child in the prison comes out alive, you should be thrown into prison, and you will be allowed to indulge you like this!"

Talking to the maids on the left and right, she said: "Come on, this bitch dared to contradict me, pushed her to the ground and slapped her hard, when will I tell you to stop!"

Seeing that the two maids were coming, Xiang Lai shouted: "You dare! My concubine mother and son are equal to the Northern Liao country! Our mother and son are safe and the Northern Liao belongs to the Southern Liao. My mother and son have something wrong, and the king of the Northern Liao immediately raises his troops Rebellion! If you dare to touch me, I will die for you immediately! Will the emperor cut you to pieces!"

As soon as she put on the posture of a princess, the two maids were immediately frightened. After staying in the palace for a long time, they certainly knew that the arrogance of the concubines here is only temporary, and it is the emperor who decides their fate. If they are really annoyed Your majesty, being hacked into pieces is a trivial matter, and the nine clans might all be wiped out, so the two dare not step forward.

Even Xiangjin felt that she didn't have much power in this palace, and seeing that the palace didn't listen to her, there was nothing she could do, so she took two steps forward and came in front of Xianglai, gritted her teeth and said, "Why, are you scared? Humph! Even Xianglai, you have today! Didn’t Luo Jinxing coax you to hold you, why is he willing to let you come to Nanliao with a big belly as a hostage? He should have thought that your life will be certain if you are asked to be a hostage. It's not going to be easy!"

Xianglai didn't take her words to heart, she took two steps while clutching her belly, tilted her head to look at Lian Xiangjin and said, "Hmph, are you still laughing at me? I'm going to make fun of you! General Shi is also coaxing Are you holding you? He is willing to let you serve the emperor no matter what, could it be that he is tired of playing with himself and thinks it doesn't matter if he changes hands?!"
