Xiaoxiao carried the lantern and came to the gate. The north wind was like a knife, cutting on the face, and snowflakes were flying, it was very cold, Xiaoxiao couldn't help shivering.
Qingqing held an umbrella and put it on Ziyan's head; Ziyan was holding a stove in her hand, which was full of charcoal fire. Xiao Xiao bowed deeply: "Report to Concubine Ziyan, Xuecai is not feeling well, why don't you come back after a while."
As soon as you become a talented person, you become so proud that you even look down on the imperial concubine? If it was in Li Hai's dynasty, if anyone didn't see her, Zi Yan would slap her twice.
Ziyan was wearing a black cloak and a big red jacket inside, and she grinned slightly: "Why is Cai Ren not feeling well? Didn't he just drink with the Emperor in Cuiwei Palace last night? Could it be that he drank too much?" ?”
Xiao Xiao thought for a while: "It's because I drank too much, please forgive me."
The corner of Zi Yan's mouth showed sinister: "If she drank too much, I'm carrying anti-alcoholic medicine on me, why don't I take it to her. Xiaoxiao, take me in!"
Xiaoxiao faltered: "This..."
Ziyan's eyes turned cold and hard: "Why, you won't take me in? Or Xue'er won't see me?"
Zi Yan is a terrific master, she cannot be offended.
Xiao Xiao hurriedly waved: "No, no! I... I'll take you in!"
I thought to myself: Xue'er, don't blame me for this, it was Concubine Ziyan who insisted on breaking in, if I don't agree to her, she will definitely slap me twice.
She stood at the door, stretched out her hand, and invited Zi Yan to come in, while shouting loudly: "The imperial concubine Zi Yan is here!"
This is to inform Rong Changan!
Ziyan was full of fire. Xue'er is a talented person now, and she is so arrogant, if she becomes a noble concubine, how can she be regarded as Ziyan? I just went to Rong Chang'an, and another Xue'er came. After a while, I tried to find out what Xue'er meant. If she wasn't on the same boat, Li Hao would kill her to avoid future troubles.
Now the day when Li Hao will do something is not far away. This summer the people in the north have a bad harvest, and it snows heavily in the winter. Next year, when the people are starving, Li Hao only needs to make a fuss among the people, and the whole world will definitely respond. It is easy to seize Yan Li's country.
Therefore, at this time, there must be no mistakes, and no Xue'er can ruin her and Li Hao's overall plan.
Turning around the screen, Zi Yan saw Rong Chang'an half lying on the bed, with his little hand on his mouth, coughing twice.
"My concubine, please forgive me. I drank with the emperor last night. When I came back, I felt a bit dizzy due to the cold wind. I can't go out to greet you. I'm really sorry."
Zi Yan's sharp gaze, like a torch, carefully scrutinized Rong Chang'an's face. His face was flushed and smooth, and he didn't look sick! Hmph, it's only been a few days since I entered the palace, and I don't want to think about how many years my old lady has been in the palace.
Ziyan sat on the bed with a smile on her face: "Xue'er, I didn't believe that you were drunk in the novel just now, but now it seems that it is true. I have some anti-alcoholic drugs here, do you want to drink?" ?”
Rong Chang'an had expected that Xiao Xiao would not be able to stop Zi Yan, the reason why she wanted Xiao Xiao to go out was to let Zi Yan understand that "Xue'er" and Zi Yan were not the same people.
Rong Changan: "No need, I'll take a day off and drink more hot water, and I'll be fine. I'm sorry to trouble your concubine to come and take a look."
Zi Yan held Rong Changan's hand, Zi Yan's hand was smooth and smooth, but lacked warmth, it was as cold as frost. Rong Changan was not afraid of her holding it, he was calm and composed.
Zi Yan admired secretly in her heart, but all the maids who did not hold hands with her would tremble, but Xueer was so calm, it really shocked her!
"Actually, I didn't know you were sick. I came to congratulate you."
If you pretend, I will pretend too; if you laugh, I will laugh too.
The smile on the corner of Rong Changan's mouth was like a couplet on the wall, once it was pasted up, it would not be taken down.
"Congratulations? Why is Xue'er happy?"
Ziyan pretended to be angry, pouted and said: "Xue'er, I regard you as my younger sister, but you don't regard me as my elder sister. The emperor just canonized you as a talent, why didn't you tell me? A good sister, let's have a good celebration."
Saying that, Ziyan clapped her hands, and Qingqing brought in two gift boxes and put them on the table beside the bed.
"There are precious pearl jewelry here. Xue'er will be a talented person in the future, and she can no longer be as sloppy as when she first came in. You have to tidy up yourself, so that the emperor will love you more and more."
Rong Chang'an didn't think so: "The concubine is wrong. Anyone who accompanies the monarch with sex will fall in love with him when his luster fades, and he will live long with virtue and deeds. It doesn't matter to me whether I look good or not, whether I have jewelry or not. In just a few days, I was canonized as a talented person, presumably not because the emperor loves my appearance, but because he loves my virtue."
With these words, Mingli was talking about how to serve the monarch, but he was actually satirizing Ziyan. Now that Ziyan is staying in the deserted Jiao Palace, Yan Li has never visited her. Isn't it because Ziyan doesn't treat Yan Li with virtue? It also shows that the "color" of Ziyan has declined.
Zi Yan's face turned red, but she still managed to smile.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Xue'er is really different, every word she says is the truth, I listened to what you said, and it was better than reading ten years of books."
Unexpectedly, Rong Changan didn't give her any face at all, and chuckled: "A woman's virtue is ignorance. The imperial concubine said that she has studied for ten years, is it true?"
Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, pouted her mouth, and her shining eyes slowly turned red: "Study is a man's business, so we won't mention it. My sister has a few heartfelt words, and I want to tell my sister." Turning to Qingqing and Xiaoxiao, "Go out, I want to talk to Xueer alone."
Rong Chang'an lowered his eyes, thinking about what Zi Yan would say next.
Qingqing and Xiaoxiao walked out and closed the door. The painted candles are shining brightly, illuminating the flowery faces of the two of them.
Ziyan moved her butt inward, and grabbed Rong Changan's hand even tighter: "Xue'er, my sister has been in this palace for many years and has experienced many things. The one who is favored becomes a cold palace overnight. The weeds in the garden; those who are unknown, become queens and concubines in an instant. Some go crazy, some are depressed, some die of loneliness, and some kill their families. Few people can keep their wealth in the palace for a lifetime. Therefore, I I heard that you have just been canonized as a talented person, I am happy for you, but also worried about you."
He sighed three times in one sentence, made the matter serious, and spoke earnestly, as if he really regarded "Xue'er" as his own sister.
Rong Changan couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth, with a slight trace: I'm afraid she is worried about herself, right? Perhaps, she used this method and tone of solidarity to coax Zixuan and Chu Fei'er back then.
"I don't know what the imperial concubine is happy about, and what is she worried about?"
There was tenderness in Ziyan's single-lidded eyes: "Xue'er, you are beautiful, smart, and active in thinking. When you first entered the palace, I expected that you would become famous. As expected, the emperor has taken a fancy to you. Cairen is just trying his hand at a small job, and there will be noble concubines and even empresses waiting for you in the future. I regard you as my younger sister, so why not be happy for you."
Rong Changan listened coldly.
