Hearing that he emphasized the words "Huifei Empress", Zhang Xiuyan felt a sudden shock in her heart. But she wasn't stupid enough to rush forward and ask now, so after the eunuch left the door, she hurriedly followed him and asked softly, "Father-in-law, I wonder if I can go and chat with the Concubine Xian?"
The eunuch's face changed, and then he said contemptuously, "What a good concubine, she is just a small promise now. If you want to chat with her, you'd better save it!"
Zhang Xiuyan couldn't believe what she heard, and her voice became louder unconsciously, "How could this happen? Wasn't it fine in the morning? How long has it been? No, you have to tell me clearly!"
Seeing the mischievous behavior of such a young lady from a well-known family, the eunuch immediately frowned, pointed at the orchid, "I can't tell you clearly from the Zajia family, after all, it was Chang Zai's own sin, which harmed the concubines." Heiress, it’s not a loss for her to end up like this!”
After saying this, the chambermaid ignored Zhang Xiuyan's thunderous look and turned around and left.
Zhang Xiuyan was left alone, her lips curled up in tears.
The voice of the inner chamber supervisor just now was not too quiet. As a result, the people in the inner hall suddenly started whispering. They couldn't hear it clearly just now, but now they know that it was Concubine Xian who murdered Concubine Xiang.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she almost fell down in her seat. Now she heard everyone's voices seemed to be filled with ridicule. She felt more and more that she couldn't stay in the house any longer. She immediately walked out and pulled Zhang Xiuyan in a hurry. Went to the Royal Garden.
It wasn't until she arrived at a quiet place that Mrs. Zhang let go of Zhang Xiuyan's hand and whispered, "Let's go and find out the news." She really couldn't imagine that even if she harmed a concubine, she wouldn't immediately be beaten from a concubine. Let's go into the cold palace. Is it possible that there is something else going on here
But the mother and daughter had made up their minds, but unexpectedly, before they arrived at Concubine Xian's palace, they saw that the palace officials there had already begun to clean up the things inside.
The palace, which used to be bustling with people, now became deserted and miserable except for the palace servants who were cleaning it.
The mother and daughter asked several palace officials, but when they heard the name Xian Fei, their expressions immediately changed. After asking around like this, the two people still found nothing, and finally had to leave in despair.
When lunch time came, Concubine Xian did not show up. Although Concubine Hui didn't show it on her face, the pride in her eyes could not be concealed at all costs.
Those who were able to adapt to the situation naturally couldn't sit still after hearing the news about Concubine Xian. They said they wanted to eat, but they just took the opportunity to please Concubine Hui.
Xie Ruzhuo had a pretty good meal. Except for the annoying noises made by the noble ladies on the side who tried their best to please Concubine Hui, the food was indeed well cooked.
Jiang Qinglan did not follow him, but sneaked to Xie Ruzhuo's side, laughing in a low voice, "Have you heard the news?"
She has always been a gossip, so she couldn't bear the news.
Xie Ruzhuo smiled softly and said, "When did you become a talkative woman?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qinglan immediately hit her, and while serving a glass of wine, she poured another glass for Xie Ruzhuo, and then said, "Who has nothing to ask about this, but when the words are heard, it is difficult not to listen." As she said that, she pursed her lips again, glanced at Concubine Hui calmly, and said, "Look at this, her smile is almost unbearable. When something happens to Concubine Xian, she is the one who is most proud of." ”
Xie Ruzhuo thought to herself that she had originally planned this matter, and now that the victory was right in front of her, it would be strange if Concubine Hui was dissatisfied.
But she couldn't say this, so she just smiled and said, "What does her pride have to do with us? This eight-treasure sauce duck tastes good, try it."
Xie Ruzhuo put a piece of duck meat into Jiang Qinglan's bowl, but did not drink the glass of wine. Wine is a good thing, but it's a pity that she doesn't dare to drink it anymore. After all, if you do something immoral while drunk, doing it once is enough.
Jiang Qinglan didn't take it seriously. He took a bite of the duck meat and said with a smile, "Well, it's really delicious."
In this huge palace, there are those who are proud and unable to control themselves, and there are also those who are indifferent from beginning to end.
Concubine Ye's face was still peaceful. After Xie Ruzhuo accidentally saw the soft smile on her face, he couldn't help secretly guessing how good concentration and cultivation she needed to survive in this dirty harem. What if he stands out among others and is not stained with blood
After finishing the meal, Concubine Hui talked for a while with the ladies present. Concubine Ye made an excuse and left first. Concubine Hui didn't stay too long. She just smiled and said, "The scenery of this imperial garden is very good. You can go and have some fun first. If you are tired, you can also go to the side hall." Just rest. When the dinner comes, I will send someone to summon you." After saying that, she smiled softly and said, "As long as the lady from the aristocratic family has prepared the show, you can also find the palace maid to take you to practice first. Fan. If anyone can come out on top today, I will give you a big reward!"
After listening to Concubine Hui's words, how could the ladies from the aristocratic families present still hold back? I was eager to give it a try right now.
After Concubine Hui left, everyone stopped staying in the side hall. Following Concubine Hui's order, everyone went to the imperial garden one after another. It's winter, and even though the sun is shining brightly today, these ladies spend the winter with their hands on the stove. Who can really stay outside when it's freezing
After a while, they all came to Xiao Nuan Pavilion in twos and threes to talk.
Shen Jingci was rarely quiet today. After the ladies dispersed, she paid attention to her surroundings. When she saw that no one was paying attention, she sneaked out of the imperial garden and walked towards a certain palace.
It wasn't until Shen Jingci disappeared that Xie Ruzhuo slowly sneered. I'm afraid Xiao Junhan doesn't know about what happened today. Shen Jingci is so anxious. Is she going to report the news and discuss countermeasures
It's a pity that even if she wants to discuss it, the matter is already a done deal. They lost the initiative this time and will only be passive and beaten in the future. If you want to stand up, you have to see if you agree with it!
Someone patted her behind her. Xie Ruzhuo turned around and saw Xiao Xinning standing behind her with a wicked smile on her face.
"Seventh Princess." Xie Ruzhuo gave a light salute and then smiled, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Xinning smiled happily and said, "I've caught you. It's so cold outside. Come on, I'll take you to my palace to warm up for a while."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately took out his hand and said with a faint smile, "Princess, please take your sister. It's good for me to watch the plum blossoms here."
Xiao Xinning, however, did not let her break away, and only said with a sly smile, "The flowers are not as beautiful as my princess, let's go." As she said this, she dragged Xie Ruzhuo towards her bedroom without any explanation.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo being dragged into her palace by Xiao Xining again, Xie Ruyue knew that she must have brought someone to find Xiao Junxi. Xie Ruyue sighed slightly, expecting that the two of them would not be able to come back for a while, so she wisely found a path to enjoy the plum blossoms on her own.
The Plum Garden is located in a remote place, and not many ordinary people come here. Xie Ruyue happened to want some peace and quiet, so she took Pearl into the Plum Garden with her.
The fragrance of flowers in this garden is astonishing. When walking in it, people feel relaxed and happy, and even their breathing seems to be much lighter.
Xie Ruyue wandered among the flowers for a while, and then she might as well have lost her way. The master and the servant were following the scent of plum blossoms and enjoying it.
Pearl shook her hand and said slightly, "Miss, you are at ease. If you can't get out later, it's up to you what to do."
Xie Ruyue looked back, smiled, and said, "What are you afraid of? It's no big deal—"
Before she finished speaking, she heard a woman scream, "If you dare to take the initiative to attack this county again, believe it or not, I will kill you!"
It was Xiao Xinyue!
Xie Ruyue looked stunned, then booed and walked towards the sound.
In the small Nuan Pavilion in the plum garden, the door was open, and a man rushed towards Xiao Xinyue with a ferocious smile, but was kicked open by the latter.
Xiao Junyi suddenly became angry and said with a sigh, "I tell you, don't toast me and you will be fined. There is no one else here, so it's useless for you to shout!"
He had obviously been drunk, his face was red, and he smelled strongly of alcohol.
Xiao Xinyue's hairpins were a little scattered, and the expression on her face became more and more cold, "Your Highness Duan Wang, I advise you to respect yourself. I am not one of those ordinary palace maids who are at your mercy. If you dare to touch me today With one finger, I will make sure you lose the title of prince tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Xiao Junyi first burped, then smiled ferociously and said, "You should go, I'm really not afraid! Then I will tell my father that you and I are in love, please He granted me a marriage! It is more than enough for me, a prince, to marry you, a princess."
"Bah, go ahead and dream about your spring and autumn dreams." Xiao Xinyue took another step back vigilantly, looking around, trying to find something to defend herself against. However, to her disappointment, she found nothing here.
At this moment, Xiao Junyi pressed Xiao Xinyue on the bed like a hungry tiger, and said with a lustful smile, "I don't want to have spring and autumn dreams, but I want to try the taste of spring dreams!" With that, he That mouth full of alcohol kissed Xiao Xinyue.
Xiao Xinyue might as well be kissed by him, and her heart suddenly became angry. She slapped Xiao Junyi's face, but the latter caught her hand and pinned her down on the couch.
"Oh, I have a very hot temper. I have played with this woman a lot, and she has been submissive a lot, but I still like spicy people like you." He pressed Xiao Xinyue's pink fist with one hand and pushed himself with the other. He pulled his shirt open and said with a ferocious smile, "Don't worry, once I have tasted your taste, you will still have to beg me to give it to you!"
Xiao Xinyue was suppressed and could not move. She immediately turned her head and bit Xiao Junyi's hand.
Xiao Junyi was in pain and instantly let go of Xiao Xinyue and took a step back.
When Xiao Xinyue saw this, she immediately took the opportunity to get up and wanted to run out.
But how could Xiao Junyi let this duck fly away? However, with a wave of his arm, he pressed Xiao Xinyue on the couch again, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and covered her mouth and nose fiercely.
Xiao Xinyue was completely imprisoned by him and could not move. She only felt a scent of fragrance wafting from her nose, and her whole body felt weak. Although she was conscious, she found that her hands and feet were all weak, and she could no longer muster the strength to resist.
"Hmph, I didn't want to use this for you. Who told you to drink wine as a penalty if you don't drink a toast?" Xiao Junyi raised his hand and patted Xiao Xinyue's face, then sneered, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you." .”
Seeing that Xiao Junyi had begun to untie her clothes, but she was unable to resist, Xiao Xinyue shed a line of tears in shock and fear. She opened her lips hard, but could not say a word.
