Because Ji Yueqin was in good health, she was taken back to the Qianxi Palace by the Queen Mother.
"You girl, next time you can't sleep, you have to go out and take embroidered bamboo with you. Fortunately, Yu'er found you this time, otherwise you stupid girl would not know where you would go." The queen mother lovingly faced Ji Yueqin. Said, although it was a reproach, but the tone was full of pampering.
"Yueqin understands, next time I won't let the empress dowager worry again." Ji Yueqin said to the queen mother with a smile.
Although the queen mother did not mean to blame herself, it did not mean that the queen mother would not blame Xiuzhu, so Ji Yueqin quickly said: "This time it is Yueqin's fault, please don't blame the empress dowager on Aunt Xiuzhu."
Thinking that it was because Xiuzhu had carelessly lost Ji Yueqin, the queen mother was indeed a little annoyed, but when she heard Ji Yueqin begging for Xiuzhu, she was ready to let Xiuzhu go, "Since Yueqin is begging for Xiuzhu, Xiuzhu will follow suit in the future. Princess Anning, there can be no more mistakes."
Seeing that the empress dowager didn't blame herself, Xiuzhu quickly knelt down and said, "Thanks to the queen mother and the princess of Anning."
Ji Yueqin looked at Xiuzhu's frightened appearance, went over to talk about Xiuzhu to help him up, and said warmly, "Aunt Xiuzhu will be my person from now on, I don't blame you for this, it's because I don't recognize the road and walk around in the middle of the night. ."
"How can you blame the county master, it's all bad slaves." Xiuzhu refused to get up, and knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up.
Seeing this, Ji Yueqin said solemnly with a small face: "If you don't want to get up, I'll be angry."
Seeing this, Xiuzhu got up quickly, but followed Ji Yueqin with his head down.
You must know that losing Ji Yueqin also caused Ji Yueqin to fall ill. Judging by the extent of the emperor's doting on Ji Yueqin, he could not escape the guilt, so how could Xiuzhu not be afraid.
But it seemed that Ji Yueqin really didn't mean to blame herself, and she gradually felt relieved.
Seeing Ji Yueqin standing there with a pale face, the queen mother also felt sorry for Ji Yueqin, so she asked Ji Yueqin to go back to the West Hall to rest.
As soon as he walked into the hall, he found that the hall was full of gifts and supplements. Before hearing Ji Yueqin's question, Xiao Lizi next to him took the lead and said, "These things, the county master, are all sent by the empresses of the palaces. of."
Seeing that Ji Yueqin was silent, Xiao Lizi said quickly: "The servant doesn't know if he should accept the things. Seeing that the county master has not returned, Xiao Lizi took the gifts on his own initiative."
"It's okay, show me the gift list of these gifts and supplements." It's not that Ji Yueqin didn't accept these gifts, but she wanted to see which palaces these gifts were brought from.
Among these gifts, there is no gift from the queen, and Ji Yueqin doesn't think it's strange, but both the German concubine and the noble concubine have sent supplements, and there are other gifts of different sizes from other concubines below. According to this list, Ji Yueqin also roughly understood the situation in this harem.
The queen has not sent gifts yet, and other members of the queen's party will not send gifts first. On the other hand, Concubine De and Concubine Du took the lead in sending the supplements and gifts, showing their opposition to the queen.
Therefore, the other concubines who followed the concubine De and the imperial concubine to give gifts are estimated to be people of the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine.
Ji Yueqin sat on the beauty couch and looked at the gift list thoughtfully, but before the buttocks had warmed up on the couch, someone came to visit.
"The imperial concubine is here!"
Following the eunuch's sharp voice, a white-skinned young woman who hired Tingting stepped into the West Hall.
I saw her pair of phoenix eyes showing infinite style under the eyebrows of the distant mountain, her petite and lovely pink lips contained a shallow smile, and her dark blue dress was embroidered with large and large hibiscus flowers, although the style was simple. But they all reveal the embroidery lady's excellent embroidery skills.
The hem of the skirt is covered to the foot, and the hem of the skirt is also tassel woven from fine gold threads, which makes people know its noble identity at first sight.
When Ji Yueqin saw the imperial concubine entering the house, she got up and saluted the imperial concubine.
"An Ning has seen the noble concubine." Generally speaking, the princess or princess who has a title will call their title, but for those who are close, they will call their own name.
The imperial concubine also gracefully avoided Ji Yueqin's gift, took Ji Yueqin's hand cordially, and said, "Is Yueqin alright in Qianxi Palace?"
When Ji Yueqin saw the imperial concubine holding her hand, she let her hold it, and smiled at her: "Returning to the imperial concubine's words, Yueqin is very good in Qianxi Palace."
The imperial concubine looked at the thin Ji Yueqin with some distress, "You have worked hard this way, remember to eat more, so that you can nourish yourself."
Ji Yueqin listened to the concubine's words, but did not see any other meaning in it, and responded kindly to her: "Thank you for your concern, Yueqin remembers it."
Although Ji Yueqin was kind to the imperial concubine on the surface, she was still a little more prepared for this seemingly friendly imperial concubine, and the hidden enemy was the most terrifying.
However, this noble concubine did not seem to have any hostility towards Ji Yueqin. For the time being, he was able to get along friendly with this noble concubine, so he let her pull him.
"I had some friendship with your mother back then, but now it's a pity that she left before us." When the imperial concubine mentioned Duan Rou, she couldn't help but feel hurt.
When Ji Yueqin heard her mention her mother, she was also silent, but when this so-called noble concubine mentioned her mother, she did not have the gritted hatred of the queen, but she really had a bit of pity.
"I think she was so dazzling back then, her demeanor was unmatched." The imperial concubine just told the past lightly, with a little bit of sadness in her tone, and then she wanted to say something, but she saw something next to her. Embroidered Bamboo and Xiao Lizi, who were standing there, suddenly fell silent.
Ji Yueqin also understood what she meant, so she told Xiuzhu and Xiao Lizi to retire.
"It's normal for Mr. Du to like an excellent woman like her, not to mention that they grew up together." The imperial concubine continued to say when Xiuzhu and Xiaolizi had left the palace.
When she mentioned Master Du, her eyes became even more detached.
"It's not that I don't blame Duan Rou, but after I entered the palace, I knew that I had nothing to do with him anymore. I just want to live in this palace and spend the rest of my life." The imperial concubine's voice was indifferent. , like a sound coming from afar.
But then her voice suddenly became sharp, "But Duan Xue, she never let anyone. Including her clan elder sister, including your mother's family. Duan Rou said that she is smart, she is. But If you say she's stupid, she's really stupid."
She looked at Ji Yueqin with a sneering smile and said, "Do you know that your grandfather's family has all become dead under the sword because of Duan Xue's design?"
Ji Yueqin listened to the imperial concubine's words, and her heart froze, she also grabbed the imperial concubine's sleeve and asked, "What!"
The imperial concubine burst into tears and said, "Your mother put your good aunt on the throne, and when your grandfather returned home, your good aunt asked the killer to kill your grandfather's family. Up to now, it is still hidden from our wise emperor, hahahahahaha."
Ji Yueqin looked at the concubine's crazy appearance and didn't know why she became like this, but she continued to say: "After I entered this deep palace, I no longer thought about the past. I thought I could Live well in this palace, but this deep palace is an unfathomable bottomless pit, it will only devour people's minds."
Without waiting for Ji Yueqin to say anything, she said in a hoarse voice, "Duan Xue killed my child! I will never be able to have a child from now on..."
She looked like a ruined marionette now, completely different from what she looked like just before entering the house.
"I'm afraid the empress did not come to Ganxi Palace just to say this." Ji Yueqin also reacted from the accident of her grandfather's family. She understood that the noble concubine and empress came to Qianxi Palace to find her not only Just to talk to her about it.
"Sure enough, you have the style of your mother back then, and you are just as smart as ice and snow." The imperial concubine also regained her former look, as if the vulnerable person just now was not her.
"I'm afraid the county master also wants to gain a firm foothold in this palace, but do you think how long can you last with the love of the empress dowager and the emperor?" .
Ji Yueqin squinted slightly, looked at the imperial concubine and said, "What does the maiden want to do?"
"You're really smart, you can get through at one point." The imperial concubine smiled and looked at Ji Yueqin, knowing that Ji Yueqin understood her own words.
"Niangniang has won awards, and Yueqin is still better than Niangniang." Ji Yueqin responded coldly to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine ignored Ji Yueqin's indifferent attitude and said directly, "Help me sit on the queen's seat."
Ji Yueqin listened and sneered: "My lady thinks, why do you sit on the queen's seat?"
The imperial concubine also lowered her face, "It's just that Duan Xue is not worthy of the queen's seat, it's just that you, Ji Yueqin."
"By me? Is the niangniang overestimating Yueqin too much?" Ji Yueqin felt a little amused, picked up the teacup at hand and began to pour himself a drink.
"Do you think Duan Xue has nothing to do with your mother's death?" The imperial concubine's face was a little dark. This Ji Yueqin is afraid that she is really not a fool, but she wants to tear Duan Xue from the queen's position, Ji Yue Qin's value in it is still very high.
She had to do it not for herself but also for the child she had never met.
Ji Yueqin stopped drinking tea for a while, then put down the teacup and looked at the imperial concubine: "My lady, please come back. My mother hopes that Yueqin can live a good life, and Yueqin's return to Dayu is just to seek shelter from one side, if you want to help I am afraid that Yueqin is a little powerless when Niangniang sits on the throne of this queen."
The imperial concubine glanced at it with some hatred, but then got up and wanted to leave. After two steps, she turned back to Ji Yueqin and said, "I hope some day the Lord of Anning can understand that the gate of my Qixia Hall is always for the Lord of Anning. Open."
"Seeing off!" Ji Yueqin's voice did not contain any emotion, and she still sat there drinking tea quietly.
The imperial concubine snorted coldly and walked away, this Ji Yueqin still wanted to maintain a neutral attitude in this palace, and it seemed that she had to find a way to make her lean on her side.
