Chapter 104 Confrontation
"It's rare that the weather is so good today, and my fifth sister has finally recovered from a serious illness." She deliberately emphasized the words "serious illness" and "recovery".He said to me again: "Sister Xiaodong, I haven't seen you for a few days."

She was a little more polite to me, but the probing look in her eyes still made people uncomfortable.

Princess Six is ​​definitely here to find fault.

She has been staring at the fifth princess since she sat down, her straight eyes seem to want to see her true face clearly under the thick veil of the fifth princess.

She has never looked at the fifth princess so directly before. When she observes her, her eyes are always mixed with jealousy and yearning, and the time is very short. After one glance, she immediately turns away. After a while, she will quietly Turn back again.It's like looking at a beautiful dress or expensive jewelry that you can't afford.

But it's different now.

The clothes, the jewellery, have been destroyed and are worthless.

So she looked at him unscrupulously, satirized, and maybe... would do something else.

"The sun is so bright today, and there is no wind, why is Fifth Sister covering her face?"

The fifth princess snorted, and Xiaodong could feel the humiliation and...fear she didn't express.

When the fifth princess, who has always been going smoothly, needs to turn around and be afraid of the sixth princess, who is not a good sister and opponent?

It can be seen that for women, no matter what age, appearance is the first. No matter how smart you are, if you are not born with appearance, you will inevitably lose your confidence first.

The sixth princess stretched out her hand, and passed towards the veil covering the face of the fifth princess.

This is too much.

The fifth princess turned her head suddenly, her gaze was like a sword, and the sixth princess was startled instinctively, her hands froze there.

"Sixth Sister, I treat you as my younger sister, and you must know that I am your older sister. This is in the Changchun Palace. If you are rude to me, it will be very convenient for us to go to the Queen Mother to reason and testify!"

The sixth princess resentfully withdrew her hand and sat down: "Unexpectedly, Fifth Sister was such a smart person before, but now she can only keep saying that the queen mother is making decisions for you." She rolled her eyes and laughed again: "By the way, sister We should be rude to my sister, after all, my sister has not been in the palace for a long time. We are sisters after all, no matter whether my sister is going to marry out of the palace, or go to the Temple of Ci'en to worship Buddha quietly, after all, we sisters can't see each other every day like before Let's talk. My sister really misses her."

don't.Whoever has such a younger sister wishes to be as far away as possible.

Almost all the women in the palace learned to compete without a teacher.The women want to fight, and the girls are also fighting, compare and step on each other—this kind of competition without gunpowder has no warmth, it is a life-and-death fight.

The fifth princess turned a deaf ear to her vicious words, as if she hadn't heard them.

Hitting the cotton with her fist didn't calm down the Sixth Princess, but she couldn't do anything, and it seemed that the Fifth Princess didn't feel any pain or itch when she spoke, so she turned to Xiaodong and said, "Sister Xiaodong, guess what, our fifth sister wants to Get married, or become a monk?"

Why are you teasing her?

Xiaodong smiled but didn't smile: "Sixth sister also came to pay her respects to the queen mother? Did you meet the imperial concubine or empress?"

The Sixth Princess was stunned for a moment, her expression uncertain: "Is the imperial concubine here too?"

"That's right, I came with Fifth Sister, and I'm talking with the Queen Mother inside."

The fifth princess is still afraid of imperial concubine Ming.

Xiaodong didn't want to help the fifth princess, but he didn't want to get involved in the disputes between the two sisters.

"Sister Cailan."

The palace servant under the pavilion responded, "What is the princess' order?"

Xiaodong stood up and stroked the hem of her skirt: "The two sisters chat slowly, I will take my leave first."

The fifth princess stood up with a jerk: "You and I will go together."

Xiaodong glanced at her, the fifth princess still didn't give up?

But she really didn't have any special panacea to remove the scars.

After walking a few steps, Xiaodong discovered that the sixth princess was following up!

By the way, being disturbed by the sixth princess, Xiaodong almost ignored the last sentence that the fifth princess said.

She said that she knew who was going to kill Xiaodong.

How would she know?
Who is it?

Of course, it is also possible that she was talking nonsense.

Xiaodong was suspicious, but she was not as impulsive or gullible as before.

She may never learn to calculate, and she will not be able to distinguish which of the other party's words is deceit.

But she has to learn to protect herself and her family.

Don't be credulous is the first key.

Cailan followed them step by step, never leaving.

Xiaodong feels that she is not smart enough. She is not like these people. She has been wallowing in plots, scheming and power struggles since she was a child. , 20 years later, she still won't become the same as them.

When they went back, Concubine Ming's eyes were red, and Empress Dowager Shengci remained indifferent.After the sixth princess asked the queen mother how she was, she sat aside, well-behaved, without the vigor and ferocity she had just outside.

Xiaodong could sense that the Empress Dowager Shengci was in a bad mood, extremely bad.

Xiaodong has gotten to know her very well after getting along with her all these years.The Empress Dowager Shengci is usually very indifferent to people, but at that time she was calm and natural, but now she is sitting upright with her lips slightly pursed.

Xiaodong didn't know what Concubine Ming said to make Empress Dowager Shengci so angry.

In her impression, the Empress Dowager Shengci seemed to never get angry for anything.After a long period of time, she suppressed herself, and did not rejoice or get angry with anyone or anything. She did not resent when the Empress Dowager Shengde was there, and she did not show off when the Empress Dowager Shengde was down.

"Xiaodong." The Empress Dowager Shengci waved at her.

Xiaodong stood up and walked to the Empress Dowager Shengci.

"You come with me."

There was a chariot outside, and the Empress Dowager Shengci asked Xiaodong to sit beside her.

Xiaodong was full of doubts, but she didn't say anything.

Riding a chariot through the long palace lanes, the footsteps of the palace people sounded regular and consistent.The sky looked blue and empty, and the chariot passed through the Yong'an Gate, turned to the right, and finally stopped outside the Zichen Hall.

The Empress Dowager Shengci took my hand and walked straight in. The guards stepped aside and bowed down one after another.The Empress Dowager Shengci walked very fast, Xiaodong seemed to have noticed for the first time that she was tall and tall, and he had to trot to keep up with her steps.

The guards standing outside the gate of the main hall were stunned when they saw them. They might not have seen the Empress Dowager Shengci before, but they definitely knew her clothes.Just when they saluted and had no time to stop them, the Empress Dowager Shengci had already dragged Xiaodong into the main hall.

This is the first time for Xiaodong to see the main hall of the former dynasty.

For a moment, she suddenly remembered the past.She, Yao Jinfeng, and Shen Qiang huddled together on a rainy night and whispered, talking about the three main halls, with glazed tiles on the roof and gold bricks on the ground.At that time, Xiaodong still thought that he might never have the chance to see what kind of bricks are laid here in this life.

But I didn't expect the Empress Dowager Shengci to bring her here.

Compared with those palaces in the harem, Zichen Palace is not as delicate and beautiful.It is grand and empty, and Xiaodong really wanted to look up to see how high the dome above was, but the hall was not so bright, and she couldn't judge the exact height, and the patterns painted on the algae well above were complicated, so Xiaodong could only see vaguely color tiles.

"Mother."

"emperor."

The emperor waved his hand, and the people in the hall retreated silently.

Xiaodong knew that what they were going to talk about must have something to do with her.

"Assassins on the Shangyuan Festival, has the emperor checked for any clues?"

The emperor gave an order in a low voice, and someone came out from the shadows behind the curtain.

It's the senior lady.

She was wearing a purple round-neck gown and a gauze cap with soft wings on her head. She had a dignified and beautiful appearance, a calm and calm demeanor.

"Princess, please follow me."

The emperor didn't want me to hear what they said.

Empress Dowager Shengci did not let go of my hand.

"How does the emperor plan to find the person behind the scenes? If he finds out, how will he deal with that person?"
