"You are right. The Queen deliberately alienates me and Concubine Xi, but when I was in the pavilion just now, I was really moved. The heir, just like the emperor's favor, is what I want most in my life.
Something." said
At this point, she smiled bitterly, "But I can't argue with Concubine Xi, not to mention whether I can win or not. Just because of Concubine Jin's kindness to me, I can't do such a thing. Otherwise, I can't do that."
What's the difference between them and animals?"
Wanxia breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master, it's best if you think like this. The empress has a deep grudge with Concubine Xi. She can't deal with it herself, so she wants to find people to take advantage of her. This intention is really vicious."
At this time, someone from the palace came in and said that the dinner was ready. Dai Jia thought for a while and said, "Pick a few exquisite side dishes and bring them in with me to the Qian Palace."
Ling Ruo, who was having dinner, saw Dai Jiashi coming over with a food box and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
Dai Jia made a bow and said with a chuckle: "I suddenly have a whim and want to have dinner with the imperial concubine. I wonder if the empress is willing to reward me for this kindness."
"Concubine Cheng has seen too much. You are willing to come here to have dinner with me. It's too late for me to be happy." After saying that, Ling Ruo ordered someone to prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Dai Jia also took the food box from the food box.
He took out some side dishes she brought.
After Dai Jiashi sat down, he took a look and said, "Why are you alone, and where are the Sixth Brother and Princess Zhaoqing?"
"Jiarou has a small appetite and said she was full after just a few mouthfuls. As for Hongzhan..." Ling Ruo smiled bitterly and said: "He refuses to eat at the same table with me. If he is forced to come over, he will ruin the meal."
There are everywhere. I am really afraid of him, so I let him eat in the room." After that, she took a chopstick of fried asparagus and put it on the small plate in front of Dai Jia, "Here, try it.
Look, it’s fresh and refreshing, very good.”
Dai Jiashi took a bite as told, and it was indeed good. She smiled and said, "I don't know if it's my concubine's psychology, but I always feel that the things here are very good."
"If you like it, come here to dine with me every day from now on." The smile that had been hanging on his face gradually faded after these words, and then turned into a long sigh, "If it's better for Sister Jin Fei
Yes, it will be more lively when the three of us have a meal."
"I believe that Sister Jin Fei will get better." Faced with Dai Jia's comfort, Ling Ruo nodded. After taking a few mouthfuls, he remembered something and said, "The battle on Zhungar's side has begun.
After winning, the army also returned to the court, leaving only the battle of Yaksa that has not yet been fought. However, it is such a battle that Hubu's side can support it much easier. Even if they fight again
There will be no serious problems in the past few months; therefore, there is no need to tighten food and clothing as before in this palace. I know that you, Chengfei, have always been the most supportive of my actions. During this period, the palace will spend a lot of money.
It’s also very tight. It’s really hard work. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent a few kilograms of donkey-hide gelatin. I originally planned to send it to you tomorrow, but now it’s just right. Remember to take it with you when you go back.”
"How can this mean that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent it to the empress? How can I..." In response to Dai Jia's refusal, Ling Ruo shook his head and said: "There is nothing impossible. Since the incident with Concubine Jin, thanks to
You have always helped me."
Dai Jiashi said modestly: "Actually, I have always been stupid. I can only do some simple things. I can't really help."
"Don't belittle yourself. What I tell you is the truth. In this palace, the simpler things are, the rarer they are. No matter what happened between you and me in the past, at least at this moment, I really treat you as a sister."
Ling Ruo's words made Dai Jia's nose feel slightly sore, and also made her feel more and more that she was not wrong. After secretly taking a breath, she said: "After the sixth brother came back, did he say anything to the empress?"
Ling Ruo said strangely: "No, why do you ask?"
At this time, Dai Jia had nothing to hide. "I took the sixth brother out today to sit in the imperial garden for a while. Unexpectedly, I met the Queen."
"Queen?" Ling Ruo was suddenly startled and said immediately: "So, Hongzhan has met the queen?"
Dai Jiashi smiled bitterly and said: "Not only did we see him, but the sixth elder brother refused to come back at that time. He kept begging the Queen to take him away."
Ling Ruo's face darkened and she said coldly: "Then why did he come back later? I didn't see him losing his temper after he came back."
Dai Jiashi said truthfully: "It was the empress who persuaded him a few words, and then he reluctantly agreed to come back with his concubine."
Ling Ruo said coldly: "I thought the Queen would seize this opportunity to provoke Sixth Brother."
"After all, the concubine is around, so she has to take care of some of the concubines, but she did say some words to the concubine." Now that she has decided to speak out, there is naturally nothing to hide, so Dai Jia took Nala's words exactly as they were.
After retelling the story, he stroked his chest and let out a deep breath, "I feel relieved now. Otherwise, I would always feel like I was holding something back."
Ling Ruo looked at her for a long time before speaking: "About Hongzhan, do you really not have any grudges in your heart?"
Dai Jiashi shook her head and said: "To say that there is nothing at all is to lie to the empress, but I have now figured it out. All this is fate and cannot be forced. Besides, compared with before, I am already doing much better.
I really can’t ask for more.”
Looking at the table full of delicacies, Ling Ruo no longer had the desire to move his chopsticks. He put down the silver chopsticks in his hand and said: "Actually, leaving Hongzhan to you to raise may not be a bad choice. I also believe that you will."
He's very kind to Hongzhan, but it's a pity that Hongzhan's young mind has been too distorted by the Liu family and the Nala family, and he won't get along well with you at all."
"I have also felt this, but Brother Six is still young after all. As long as you teach him carefully, when he grows up, he will naturally understand what is right and what is wrong."
"It's useless. Hongzhan won't listen. He has stubbornly entered a dead end. We can only use force to pull him out. This is what I am doing now, but I can guarantee that Hongzhan will
I already hate me so much in my heart."
Speaking of this, Dai Jiashi hesitated and said: "I know that your Majesty is doing it for Brother Six, but if you do something wrong, you will be punished by being forced to kneel for several hours, and sometimes you are not even allowed to eat. Is it too much?
After all, he is still a child."
Ling Ruo said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now we can only use this seemingly extreme thing to make him understand the boundaries between right and wrong." At this point, she looked at Dai Jia and said: "This is also my intention.
The reason why the palace doesn't let Hongzhan follow you is that you worry too much and can't be strict with Hongzhan, and you can't pull him back from the wrong path."
