In fact, he has long been used to it. This is the first time someone is so gentle and considers everything for him, which makes Si Haoze feel a little surprised.
Si Haoze did not stay long. He talked with Si Ningchi about common things and made sure that nothing happened in the palace in recent days before he went back. Fang Zhiyao, on the other hand, waited until Si Haoze left and let out a big sigh of relief.<
/p>
"What's wrong?" In the imperial garden, Si Ningchi leaned on the railing and looked at the small fish swimming in the water. He turned to look at Fang Zhiyao and said with a smile: "You don't like my brother?"
"No, no..." Fang Zhiyao waved her hands repeatedly and said with a red face: "I'm just a little nervous and worried that I won't perform well."
"Why do you want to perform well?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Ah..." Fang Zhiyao felt even more embarrassed. After holding it in for a long time, she carefully raised her eyes to look at Si Ningchi and whispered: "I want the Queen to like me more~"
The cute little girl looked at her with a smile, like a child begging for candy, which made people look particularly cute.
Si Ningchi was quite amused when he heard this. The little princess had no thoughts of love at all. Was she caring about Si Haoze so much to please her?
This is really dumbfounding...
After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Zongheng became busy again, and also ushered in Princess Chaoyang’s birthday gift. In previous years, there was no big deal, but this year the emperor announced that he would organize a birthday gift for Princess Chaoyang.
The original intention was to invite the new nobles in the court or the children of slightly famous aristocratic families to the palace for a banquet on top of the birthday ceremony, so as to take this opportunity to marry Princess Chaoyang.
As the Queen of the Central Palace, Si Ningchi must pay attention to the banquet. Since it is the emperor's will, the birthday banquet of Princess Chaoyang must be held according to the princess's specifications and be beautifully organized. p>
She had little experience the first time, so she summoned the ladies from all the palaces to discuss it together, and she adopted a lot of opinions.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jieyu is outside asking for an audience." After everyone dispersed, Si Ningchi was about to go back to the inner hall to rest, but he suddenly stopped after hearing these words.
"Xu Jieyu?" The first thing Siningchi thought of was the woman kneeling on the palace road in the freezing cold that day.
Si Ningchi paused and nodded slightly to let Xu Jieyu in.
Xu Jieyu was dressed simply, with no jewelry on her body. She stepped forward and greeted Si Ningchi in a polite manner: "I have met the Queen."
Si Ningchi sat on a high position, looked at her condescendingly and said calmly: "What else does Xu Jieyu have to do?"
"I'm here to thank the Queen for saving my life." Xu Jieyu is very thin and her face is a bit sallow. It can be seen that she has been bullied for many years.
"When did I save you?" Si Ningchi blinked, not understanding where the life-saving grace she mentioned came from.
Su Yun, who was standing next to her, came over and whispered to Si Ningchi: "Mother, you have forgotten that the time when Shun concubine was pregnant with a dragon fetus, it was because Xu Jieyu collided with Shun concubine and caused such a big fuss.
."
Only then did Si Ningchi suddenly realize that he had been so busy cleaning up his concubines that he had completely forgotten the cause and effect.
Speaking of which, she had to thank Xu Jieyu. Without her collision, how could Concubine Shun have caused such a big drama?
"The Empress, I met a person yesterday." Xu Jieyu lowered her eyebrows and knelt down and said, "This person has some relationship with the Empress, and I don't dare to hide it."
"It's Mrs. Liu, the step-wife of the Marquis of Xiwu Mansion. I watched the lady enter Liangfei's Yufu Palace." Xu Jieyu said as she raised her eyes and looked at Si Ningchi and said, "I don't want to be careless when I see this.
I went to take a look for myself and heard with my own ears that the lady announced her home."
"What did you say?" Si Ningchi's expression changed slightly, and his face turned cold.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense in front of the empress." Xu Jieyu bowed her head and said.
How did Mrs. Liu meet Liang Fei?
How could she suddenly enter the palace? The good concubine and the Liu family were plotting something.
Si Ningchi pondered for a long time, looked down at Xu Jieyu who was kneeling on the ground and said: "Xu Jieyu's kindness really surprised me. At first you didn't even dare to offend concubine Shun, but now you have done this.
If you inform me, you won’t be afraid of offending the good concubine?”
"It was my concubine who was stupid and missed the empress's good intentions." Xu Jieyu raised her head and looked at Si Ningchi with a slight smile and said: "Rather than offending the good concubine, I hope that the empress Chang Jian is fine.
."
The meaning of Xu Jieyu's words couldn't be clearer. She was trying to show her goodwill.
She wants to join the queen's camp, but how can she be afraid of offending a good concubine?
"You are determined." Si Ningchi looked at Xu Jieyu, gently curved his lips and said with a smile: "I will remember your merits, go down."
"Concubine, thank you for your grace." Xu Jieyu bowed down again, stood up and left.
"Let Su Yongde go explore the way to Yufu Palace." Si Ningchi sent Xu Jieyu away, then lowered his eyes, beckoned to Suyun and said, "Let's see if that bitch from the Liu family is serious about climbing up."
Liang Fei’s branch."
"Yes, I will go right away." Su Yun knew that this matter was serious and did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly agreed and went out.
Xu Jieyu was indeed right. Mrs. Liu entered the palace in a secretive way, obviously not wanting people to know about it. Xu Jieyu was an inconspicuous character. By chance, she saw Mrs. Liu entering the palace. If it had been before
She might not have done what she did today.
But Concubine Shun's fate made her clearly understand that in the battles in the palace, one could never survive by avoiding them.
Perhaps Xu Jieyu had never thought about the existence of the Queen. In her world, she only felt that the concubine was hateful, but she had no way to resist, she could only tolerate it and was bullied and suppressed.
Shunbi was like a mountain weighing on her, leaving her with no time to think about other people.
She just hated it and endured it.
She never expected that one day, the person who had tortured her day and night and made her hate her to the bone would die.
On that day in the Jade Harmony Palace, she saw with her own eyes the madness and arrogance of the Queen. The smile on her face and the evil smile in her eyes, as she pointed at the concubine and wanted to cut open her belly, shocked Xu Jieyu. p>
She originally thought that the queen's arrival would hasten her death and destroy the royal heir in her belly...
Who would have thought that she would survive.
The one who died was the concubine she hated so much.
She thought that the person who would be bullied for the rest of her life and unable to get rid of her would die so easily.
"Jieyu, did the Queen Mother not give you any trouble?" The little palace maid who was waiting anxiously outside saw Xu Jieyu coming out and quickly greeted her and asked in a low voice.
"Baoxiang, our days will be better in the future." Xu Jieyu looked at her and smiled, smiling with a few tears in her eyes, looking at the bright sky and taking a deep breath, as if
Suddenly the clouds and fog were pushed aside and the bright sky was seen.
