Chapter 208 The So-Called Concubine

Such a high-profile, sharp, and demonstrative appearance successfully suppressed everyone's attention and pride!

Fine wine, beauties, delicate flowers, on this sunny cold day, everyone's eyes were not attracted by the blossoming winter plums, but quietly looked at Concubine Xi walking beside the empress with low-key and reserved eyes. .

"That's Empress Xi."

"Concubine Xi is truly magnificent."

"Just the big cloak on his body is worth thousands of gold, and it is said that this is the only one in the harem."

Si Jin at the front was following the queen steadily, and could not hear the little concubine behind her commenting or discussing with her.Hearing the low chirping voices around him, Qiao Lingyi's expression became more and more ugly, but he still managed to show a calm expression.

Chu Chenglan was walking with Qiao Lingyi, and Su Rui was on the other side of Chu Chenglan.Not far from the three of them were Li Yunxiu and Wang Jingyun, and their gazes followed the discussion of the crowd, falling on the back of Concubine Xi in front from time to time.

That person is the envy of all the women in the harem. Although his family background is flawed, he is beautiful, favored and gave birth to the eldest prince. Even when he is pregnant and confinement, he can firmly hold the emperor's heart , she was like a mountain, and everyone was almost out of breath.

Seemingly aware of Qiao Lingyi's loss, Chu Chenglan who was beside him turned his head and chatted with her in a low voice.Su Rui next to her didn't have the flamboyance she had when she was in Mingxiu Palace, she followed everyone's footsteps and walked forward calmly, listening to the conversation between Qiao Lingyi and Chu Chenglan, she remained silent.

When I didn't enter the palace, the family members said how hype was the future, but now I am so disappointed and unwilling.The same is entering the palace, why would anyone want to live under others?

At this moment, the palace servants around the imperial concubine came to invite Li Yunxiu, Wang Jingyun and Qiao Lingyi to leave, and the people around the empress also came to invite Chu Chenglan away.Seeing that these four people had already arrived in front of the empress and concubine, everyone's envious eyes never stopped. It would be great if they could have someone to support and support them in the palace.

This was Si Jin's first time seeing such a large number of beautiful women in this world at close range, and she was ashamed to say so.When they entered the palace, it happened to be inconvenient for them. Later, when they were able to greet the queen after confinement, they were restricted by their status and could not see them.

Qiao Lingyi was an accident. There was a queen mother, and Si Jin was more familiar with her.Chu Chenglan is the concubine's younger sister of the empress. Si Jin made a guess and decided to keep a distance, neither close nor indifferent, just nodded and smiled.For the remaining daughters of the Wang family and the Li family, Si Jinquan ignored them, glanced at the two of them with unfamiliar and indifferent eyes, and just nodded slightly, showing no intention of talking.

No matter which family's daughter they are, they will never be friends in the end.Regardless of the position in the palace or the interests of the family outside, because of the particularity of the official positions of Su Shengyang and Su Xingyu, it is doomed that their prosperity will not be able to maintain a close relationship with the courtiers, so under such circumstances, Si It would be wisest for Jin not to get along with any concubine with a strong family background in the harem.

What's more, there is a queen above her, and if she wins others to be friendly, the queen may not be afraid. As time goes by, these will gradually become irreconcilable contradictions.

Si Jin felt that there was absolutely no need for her to cause these troubles, so at this time, it was a very wise way to maintain the arrogant and cold attitude of a favorite concubine.

At least, with Zi Jin's actions like this, she could see the Queen's smile was always on her face.

The imperial concubine smiled sarcastically, probably making fun of her short-sightedness, being so stupid that she didn't know how to build up goodwill and accumulate contacts when there was an opportunity in front of her.

But Si Jin doesn't need these contacts at all. Sometimes, it may not be a good thing for a concubine to be powerful.In Si Jin's view, the noble concubine's behavior is the most dangerous.Did she think that if she could win over the women in the harem and form an alliance, she would be able to make Xiao Qi give in?

She was wrong, with Xiao Qi's temperament, he would only think that the imperial concubine became more and more arrogant and unrestrained, and the friendship accumulated between the two of them in the early years would disappear in this time after time of running-in.

No emotion can withstand excessive consumption.

"Sister Xi Concubine, what do you think?"

Si Jin was distracted for a while, and then came back to her senses when she heard Concubine Mei's voice.Facing her smiling eyes, he said very bluntly: "Sister Meifei, forgive me, I was distracted just now, I don't know what my sister asked?"

Concubine Mei's expression changed slightly, thinking that it was Concubine Xi embarrassing her, she naturally became a little displeased, and said lightly: "I don't know what distracted my sister when it was so lively, I don't know how Can’t speak out and listen.”

Si Jin noticed that Concubine Mei was in a dilemma, so she didn't look at the queen to observe her expression. Although she and Concubine Mei had never confronted each other, the discordant atmosphere between them The field has always existed.

Hearing the hostility in Concubine Mei's words, since Si Jin came here today to show her prestige, naturally she couldn't be cowardly, and immediately said: "There is nothing I can't say, but I just care about the eldest prince in my heart."

Concubine Mei's face was even more unsightly when Concubine Xi's move to show off her son cut more than half of her blood.

Aunt Jiang stood behind the master, her eyes swept over Concubine Mei very quickly, and then quickly looked away, as if nothing had happened.

"Speaking of which, the people here really haven't seen the First Prince for quite a while, and I'm really worried about it. I don't know if Concubine Xi is happy for us to disturb you." Concubine Qu stared at Concubine Xi with a smile, and gave birth The son is hidden as airtight as a treasure, and it is in a place like the Heyi Hall, so it is good to go and have a look.

Since the harem was built, if you want to go to Chongming Hall, Heyi Hall is the only way to go.

Si Jin glanced at Concubine Qu, and naturally understood what she was planning, but Heyi Hall was too close to Chongming Hall.Si Jin would never let anyone easily set foot in the Hall of Harmony, in case something unexpected happened, it would be related to the previous dynasty.

I don't know if Concubine Qu really said such words unintentionally or on purpose.

As soon as Concubine Qu spoke, everyone's eyes became hotter.Especially for those who are new to the palace, if they can go to Concubine Xi's Heyi Hall to sit and get in touch with each other, they will not be afraid that they will not have a bright future. After all, the chances of the emperor appearing in the Heyi Hall are too high.

The queen glanced at the noble concubine from the corner of her eyes, and sneered in her heart, Concubine Qu is also stupid for such a little trick.

"My palace has intentions, but it's a pity that the Heyi Hall doesn't have the emperor's permission, so people can't enter at will. Concubine Qu's affection for the eldest prince is accepted by me, but it's a pity that this matter can only be done after the emperor comes back." Si Jin mercilessly blocked back, wanting to enter the Hall of Harmony, hehe, sorry, not welcome.

Si Jin naturally has the right to invite someone over to be a guest, but in this harem, except for Qi Ronghua, Si Jin has no intention of making friends with others, so this kind of thing where you come and I go to connect with each other, She is grateful.

Especially when the previous dynasty was unstable, Si Jin would not bother herself and Xiao Qi.

Unexpectedly, Si Jin refused so simply, even the imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, and Concubine Qu's expression was naturally not good-looking.Concubine Xi's words clearly slapped her in the face, she immediately pursed her lips, sneered, and did not speak again.Right now, the emperor is just on his head, five or ten years later, who knows if Concubine Xi will fall out of favor?

After all, in this harem, every three years, beautiful women like flowers and jade will come in. How arrogant Concubine Xi is now, how miserable it will be in the future!
The stove was lit in the pavilion, but it was still a little cold. After everyone sat for a while, the queen got up to enjoy the flowers, and everyone scattered, some in small groups, and even a single person, and they all made a flower viewing scene. gesture.

Si Jin took Aunt Jiang and did not go to the Queen's side, but strolled slowly in the garden. When she turned a corner, she unexpectedly met Qiao Lingyi and Su Rui when she looked up.

Si Jin paused, Qiao Lingyi and Su Rui bowed to salute, she raised her hand, "Get up, there is no need to be too polite."

The two stood up, Qiao Lingyi didn't leave immediately, Su Rui hesitated and followed suit.

Si Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them. Is this... a special bet that she came here?

"Sister Xi Concubine, I wonder if I can take a step to speak?" Qiao Lingyi looked at Concubine Xi with crooked eyebrows and a bright smile as always.

Si Jin only felt a headache when he met Qiao Lingyi like this. Like Xiaoqiang who couldn't be beaten to death, his recovery ability was very strong.When meeting such a person, Si Jin knew that he had to fight quickly. Once he was entangled, it would be a very dangerous thing, so he said without hesitation: "The beauty of such a beautiful day is just the time to enjoy the flowers, so don't disappoint the imperial concubine and empress." Qiao Xiaoyi has something to say, let’s talk about it at another time.”

The smile on Qiao Lingyi's face seemed to be frozen after counting nine cold days behind his back. He never thought that Concubine Xi would refuse so simply.

Su Rui on the side frowned, and didn't care what Qiao Lingyi was thinking, and immediately stood in front of Concubine Xi, "Mrs. Missing today's good opportunity, she must have a private talk with Concubine Xi.

There have been several urgings from the head of the family, and she doesn't have many opportunities to waste.

The second update is over, and it will continue tomorrow, what about the group (*^__^*) hee hee...

Even under the warm sun, the winter wind still has a icy smell. Si Jin looked at Su Rui, and said that they are about the same age, and they also have the genes of the Su family in their blood.But such a family has hatred because of the interests of the concubines.

She didn't know why Su Rui stood in front of her with such confidence and said such things. If it was her, she would probably be too ashamed to face him.
