It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 21

Qian Xiyao never thought that Qi Zhaoyi could say it so bluntly. After entering the palace, she gained ten catties and couldn't fit in a lot of clothes. It's not that she ate better than before and lived more nourished. The most important thing is There is no place to go, no one to talk to, except to eat and sleep, for this to eat, she gave almost all the money and jewelry that she brought into the palace to the kitchen staff, do you think she can not get fat?
"If my sister doesn't dislike it, can I often come to you to play cards in the future?" Qi Zhaoyi asked earnestly, and then saw Qian Xiyao's dazed expression, and couldn't help laughing at herself, "Actually, I know this is a bit inappropriate. , you just got favored, so I came here like this, just to get some credit."

Now it was Qian Xiyao's turn to be shocked, because what she said was too straightforward.

"To tell you the truth, I really want to gain fame." Qi Zhaoyi said bluntly, "But it's not what you think, I don't want to serve the emperor."

Qian Xiyao didn't know what to say, she lowered her head and sipped her tea.

It was getting dark every day, and red gauze lanterns were lit outside the house, reflecting a hazy and beautiful scene. Xiang'er refilled her another cup and asked, "Master, what do you mean by Qi Zhaoyi? I haven't seen such a people."

Qian Xiyao unconsciously remembered what Qi Zhaoyi said before she left, "Sister Qian, I saw it when I first entered the palace, you are a kind person, and you don't have the black heart of those scheming people. To settle down, one must find a backer, and the best candidate is naturally the empress. Unfortunately, the empress has some disagreements with me, and I can't rely on her. I don’t know, so now you are left, the harem is lonely, I can’t do anything else, it’s always more than enough to help you clean up the annoying Mosquito.”

Qian Xiyao looked at the distance and shook her head, "It takes a long time to see people's hearts, it's the fox who always reveals the fox's tail." It would be fine if she kept her head buried in her life, but she happened to meet the emperor and was favored by the emperor for many days. Her situation is not the same as before, she needs to live more cautiously, because there will be many people staring at her, waiting for her to make a mistake and step on it, and it is impossible for her to live alone in this harem, always To have friends, if this friend is Qi Zhaoyi, in fact, she has nothing to reject, because they are familiar with each other.

Xiang'er looked at Qian Xiyao's frowning expression, and felt distressed. Her young lady was really carefree in the mansion, even when she heard the chirping of birds, she would laugh crisply, as if there was no one in the world. What troubles are the same? At the beginning, she also thought that the young lady would live like this. There is only one daughter in the family, and at most she can only recruit a son-in-law... But who would have thought that when there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, His Majesty would call the roll call for the first draft after he became the throne. In order to ask Qian Xiyao to enter the palace.

At that time, Mrs. Tang was quite calm. Apart from bringing her tea twice with an empty teapot, she was always a gentle and kind master. His tears almost drowned the young lady. She actually understood the master. They have a son and a daughter, but because the uncle's family has never had a child, the son was adopted.
