Cen Xue's body is no longer seriously injured, and her healthy complexion hangs on her cheeks. She leans lazily on the chaise longue, worried that the man will suddenly appear in front of her again.┌ |┐
Xiao Ling'er had nothing to do. It was too boring to be alone in the palace on this hot day. Anyway, she had never seen the legendary Lin Beauty. She brought some thirst-quenching fruits and slowly drove towards her.
"Concubine Xiao is well-" Suzaku was watching outside the door. When she saw the visitor, Prime Minister Xiao's sister immediately put on a gentle look on her face.
"Suzaku, can I go in?" Xiao Ling'er pointed at the fruit in Hecai's hand and asked in a gentle voice.
Zhuque is the only woman among the four guards. She has known Xiao Ling'er for more than ten years. Zhuque knows what kind of person she is, but since the king has ordered it, she does not dare to disobey the king.
Purpose.
He looked around and saw that there was no one around, thinking that the king should still be busy reviewing memorials in the imperial study, he stepped forward and whispered in Xiao Linger's ear: "Ling'er, the king has decreed that no one can enter casually, but the king
I'm not here right now, so go back quickly and don't chat in there for too long, you know?"
"Well, I understand. Actually, I'm just curious and want to come over and meet this beauty Lin. I'll put down the fruit and chat for a few words and I'll come out. Don't worry!" Xiao Ling'er understood Suzaku's difficulty and nodded sensibly.
Zhuque let her in, and Hecai followed behind him carrying fruits into Wenyuan Pavilion. When the maids in the room saw that it was Concubine Xiao, they hurriedly put down their work and saluted her: "See Concubine Xiao——"
"
"Everyone, get up. Where is your master?" Xiao Ling'er smiled knowingly and looked around the room.
Wen Qing hurriedly walked up to her, lowered his head and replied to her: "For Concubine Xiao, the beauty is enjoying the shade in the backyard right now. Can I take you there?"
"Okay, lead the way!"
Concubine Xiao's kindness is well known to everyone in the Loulan Palace. Facing her, everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion will not be as panicked as when Concubine Hui came. As long as they do what they should do, they will do their best.
Can.
Wen Qing led Xiao Ling'er to the small courtyard behind Wenyuan Pavilion. Cen Xue was leaning on the imperial concubine chair under the tree to enjoy the coolness. The weather was very hot, especially if she stayed in the house, it was like a big steamer.
Uncomfortable.
"Beauty, Concubine Xiao is here." Mingyue, who was waiting beside her, saw Concubine Xiao behind Wen Qing and hurriedly stepped forward to remind her.
When Cen Xue heard the words "Concubine Xiao", she hurriedly raised her head and looked at the bright moon. She didn't understand why another concubine appeared here. What kind of temper did this Concubine Xiao have? What was her background?
Mingyue helped the beauty up from the imperial concubine's chair and whispered something in her ear: "Concubine Xiao is very kind. Beauty, just be as you normally are."
Cen Xue nodded understandingly. Since Mingyue said she was a good person, she believed she was a good person.
"Sister, have you recovered? Will you get sunburned if you are exposed to such a scorching sun?" As soon as Xiao Linger came in, he saw her getting up from the chair and walking towards her with slightly anxious eyes.
Cen Xue looked at the woman who came towards her. She was also a noble concubine. She didn't seem to be as gorgeously dressed as Bai Bingxuan. There was no group of eunuchs and maids following behind her. There was only a little girl who looked similar to Mingyue following behind her, with a hand in her hand.
Holding a fruit plate.
"I've met Concubine Xiao -" a crisp voice sounded, and Cen Xue subconsciously saluted her in greeting.
"You don't have to be polite, sister, please get up quickly." He stepped forward to help her up and looked at Cen Xue carefully.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw a real beauty in each other's eyes. However, Xiao Ling'er, who had been suffering from chronic illnesses for many years, had a touch of paleness on her face.
"I'm in good health, thank you for your concern." Cen Xue also felt that she meant no harm, and followed the court's courtesy to deal with her.
Xiao Ling'er took her hand and smiled, sitting down on the stone bench a few steps away together, and asked Hecai to put the fruit plate on it. Wen Xing also brought a pot of scented tea and snacks for the two masters to taste.
"I have wanted to come and see you for a long time, but the king said that you have been in poor health recently, so he has been putting off coming. Today, I really couldn't hold it in any longer. I brought a plate of fruits, so I decided to come and disturb you.
"From Xiao Ling'er's words, it is not difficult for Cen Xue to see that only a woman like her can be regarded as a lady.
She really felt sorry for Concubine Hui. She was both a lady and concubine, so how could she be so dignified and virtuous?
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. If you want to come, you can come at any time. Why should you care so much about this?" Cen Xue would always treat kind people sincerely.
Xiao Ling'er took her arm and suddenly lifted her sleeves. Sure enough, there were traces of tooth marks on her arm. She knew that this was left by the king on her body. It was so pitiful...
"Sister, you must listen to what I say. This palace is no better than outside. Don't be too assertive in everything. Take Concubine Hui as an example. When there is no need to confront her head-on, try to avoid her. You know
Is that so?" Xiao Ling'er was afraid that such a weak woman might fall into Bai Bingxuan's trap.
Cen Xue understood the meaning of her words, nodded and said: "I understand, thank you for the reminder."
