Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 315
After Mrs. Ying came back from Zhao Mina, she washed her face and sat at the table with a gloomy expression.

Seeing her like this, Wang Xi couldn't help asking: "My lord, what's the matter? But what happened just now didn't work out?"

Lady Ying gently shook her head: "Although I was not present at the cemetery last time, I have heard about the situation at that time. Princess Ling is not a fool. I'm afraid that what I just cried will hurt her. It's useless."

Although Wangxi knew that Yinggui went to Zhao Min because he must have something to discuss, but she didn't know exactly what Yinggui was thinking.

It's not hard to guess what Yinggui is thinking. In this harem, no matter what she does, she just wants to keep herself safe and the fetus in her womb safe.

And the most important thing to keep the child in her womb safe is the queen. She is loyal to the queen, so why doesn't she know the queen's methods?
The things she and Zhao Min said just now are half true, half false, half true, half false, just to win Zhao Min's trust, and then give her a fatal blow, give the queen a gift, and beg the queen to let go of her belly It's just my child, there is no other way.

Yinggui gave a wry smile, she would not seek the protection of the emperor and the queen mother, after all, if she could not dispel the mind of the culprit, no matter who she asked for protection, she would not be able to prevent the queen's tricks.

Besides that, there is only one thing that is most important to a harem woman, and that is the emperor's favor.

"Wangxi, help me to change my clothes, and I will go to the Hall of Light later."

"Qinlan, the weather is nice today, why don't you go out and fly a kite."

Zhao Min looked at Qin Lan resting her cheeks on her hands, looking listless, and couldn't help but suggest.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Min's proposal, Qin Lan's eyes shone brightly: "Really? Princess, I'm going to get the kite now."

"Go." Zhao Min's eyes were full of love, as if looking at his own sister.

"Princess, you dote on Qinlan so much, be careful to spoil her. In this troubled time, try to go out as little as possible." Mother Gu was worried, so she couldn't help but remind her.

"It's okay. This Chunyang Pavilion is located in a remote corner of the palace. No one usually comes here. I have been to the open space behind it several times, but I have never met anyone."

"But..." Mammy Gu still felt that something was wrong, and wanted to say a few more words of dissuasion, but Zhao Min raised her hand to stop her words, "Needless to say, Mammy, even if we meet someone, we will It's not like you're doing something shameful, how can you stay in Chunyang Pavilion all day long like a shrinking tortoise."

Nanny Gu felt that what Zhao Min said made some sense, so she didn't say it out loud.

Not long after, Qin Lan came back with the kite: "Princess, I got the kite!" Qin Lan looked like a child, her eyes full of anticipation.

This kite was made by Zhao Min and Qin Lan two days ago. It was drawn by Zhao Min himself. It is a pig in a cartoon image.

"Let's go." Seeing Qin Lan coming, the two walked out hand in hand, "Nurse, you stay in Chunyang Pavilion, just let us know later if you have anything to do."

"Qinlan, Qinlan, put it higher!"

Zhao Min and Qin Lan happily ran like two children on this grassland that seemed to be forgotten.

After a long time, both of them sweated a lot. After having fun, they lay down on the playground, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, Zhao Min couldn't hold back the smile on his face. It's so fun and enjoyable to play.

"Princess, let's go back quickly."

I've been out to play for a while today, it's better to go back earlier to avoid accidents.

Zhao Min nodded: "Okay, let's go back now."

After Qin Lan got up from the grass first, she pulled Zhao Min up, and the two patted the weeds on each other's bodies, then walked towards Chunyang Pavilion with the kite.

Unexpectedly, after a corner, she saw Concubine Li alone, with a sad expression on her face.

Concubine Li had been standing in this place for a long time, she just stared at Zhao Min and Qin Lan flying a kite blankly.

Zhao Min put away the surprise in his heart, and blessed his body slightly: "See Empress Li."

Concubine Li looked at Zhao Min in front of her, looked at Qin Lan next to her, and suddenly laughed softly: "That's great."

Zhao Min didn't know what Concubine Li meant, but when she was about to ask, Concubine Li closed her eyes and shed a tear.

"What's wrong with your mother?" Zhao Min was surprised.

Concubine Li sighed deeply, and laughed lightly, as if she had realized her gaffe just now, she picked up the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the tears on her face: "This place is remote, how did Princess Ling find out?" ?”

"I also found it by accident. I have nothing to do today, so I came here to play with the maid. Could it be that this is the territory of the concubine Li? If this is the case, I have no intention of colliding. Please forgive me." Zhao Min will I keep my posture very low, after all, I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

"The whole world is the emperor's territory, not to mention this small grassland, how can it be my territory?"

Concubine Li looked at Zhao Min and showed a meaningful smile: "The palace is dangerous. It is not easy to have a confidant sister. I hope Princess Ling can cherish it." After finishing speaking, Concubine Li glanced at Qin Lan lightly, then turned and left. go.

Looking at the leaving figure, Zhao Min was very puzzled by what she just said.

"Princess, what did Concubine Li mean by what she said just now?"

Zhao Min shook his head lightly: "I don't know, don't think about it, go back quickly."

After the two returned to Chunyang Pavilion, Qin Lan went to put down the kite, but Zhao Min summoned Madam Gu to her room: "Mama, do you know the story of Concubine Li in this palace?"

"Concubine Li?" Gu Momo was puzzled, "Why did the princess suddenly ask about Concubine Li?"

"It's nothing, I ran into her when I was here just now, and I thought her reaction was a little strange. When I entered the palace that day, I have never forgotten the majesty of Concubine Li, but today she is very gentle, like two different people."

Nanny Gu's heart twitched: "Is there any conflict?"

Seeing Mammy Gu's nervous mood, Zhao Min couldn't help chuckling: "Look, Mammy is nervous, I'm not a cannonball, I'm going to catch fire at any point, how can I offend people everywhere?"

Hearing that Zhao Min's intention did not conflict with Concubine Li, Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief: "Before, this old slave once inquired about Concubine Li's news on the sidelines, but people in the palace were very taboo about it. , seems unwilling to mention it.”

Zhao Min lowered his eyes and murmured: "Since that's the case, then it's inconvenient for me to delve into it. In the end, it's none of my business. Sometimes curiosity can kill people. It's better not to know what you don't know."
