It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 674

Qian Xiyao and Empress Dowager Duanjing were talking, when a court lady came in and said that a talented boy had come to say hello, and Empress Dowager Duanjing was kind, so she was very popular in the harem, so it was understandable that someone else came to say hello at this moment.

Empress Dowager Duanjing asked Tong Cairen to come in.

Tong Cairen was wearing a green beige with twigs and flowers, and she was holding a pendant on her temples. She only had a hairpin of pearls inserted in it. It glowed with luster in the sunlight, and she was dressed so plainly, which set off her It looks fresh and pleasant.

Qian Xiyao was not willing to make false claims with these concubines, but after sitting for a while, she prepared to find an excuse to leave, but just as she stood up, Tong Cairen also stood up and said, "Is your empress going back too? The prince made some clothes and gave them to the empress." A look of wanting to follow.

Qian Xiyao was about to refuse when she heard the Empress Dowager Duanjing say with a smile, "Is it the acupuncture method I called you last time? You also have intentions." After speaking, she said to Qian Xiyao, "Just take it and have a look." If you don't like it, let her do it again." She looked very happy.

Qian Xiyao didn't want to refute the Empress Dowager Duanjing's face, so she had no choice but to go out with Tong Cairen.

Tong Cairen also consciously stood half a step away from Qian Xiyao to show his humble status. After all, a talented person is only a little better than a court lady in front of the concubine.

When they arrived at Lingxi Palace, it was time for a nap, and Qian Xiyao asked Xiang'er to send the eldest prince to sleep, while she coaxed the second prince.

When everything was arranged and Qian Xiyao was about to go to sleep herself... she found that Tong Cairen was still sitting in a corner of the hall. She thought that if she ignored her, she would leave by herself, but it turned out that I underestimated Tong Cairen's face.

At this moment, Qian Xiyao was very helpless, and asked directly, "You must have something to do when you come to me like this, so it's okay to speak up."

Tong Cairen looked at Qian Xiyao with flickering eyes, but in the end he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is willing to serve your Majesty."

Qian Xiyao looked at the talented boy kneeling below, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. There used to be a woman who expressed her closeness to her like this, but what about people now?

Tong Cairen saw that Qian Xiyao hadn't spoken for a long time, but his eyes were blurred, and he felt nervous, and said, "Ma'am, I know that Qi Zhaoyi's incident made Madam very sad, but a servant girl is different from Qi Zhaoyi."

"What do you think is the difference between you and Qi Zhaoyi?"

"Qi Zhaoyi's family status is stable, his father is a general guarding one side, and his elder brother is in the Ministry of War. Naturally, he wants more glory, but the father of the servant girl is only a county magistrate, and the only elder brother who has passed the imperial examination for ten years is even a scholar. If you don’t pass the exam, the slaves want to make trouble, and you have to have that backstage.” Tong Cairen analyzed seriously, “Besides, the empress is already the mother of the two princes at the moment, so she is naturally of high status. It's just a small talented person, whose appearance is not as good as your empress, why should your empress worry?"

Tong Cairen's meaning is actually very simple. She feels that Qi Zhaoyi can do good things like that and poison Qian Xiyao. She is unwilling to do so, but because of her good background, but she is different. She is just of ordinary status and ordinary appearance. To Qian Xiyao, she is like an ant, who can be crushed to death if she wants to, so she doesn't have to worry too much.

As a result, Qian Xiyao didn't say anything after talking for a long time, and Tong Cairen was anxious, knowing that it was not easy to get close to Qian Xiyao, and besides, the opportunity was only once, so how could he wait for the next time?
