royal princess

Chapter 260 Is this a declaration of war? 1
Qiao Lingyi looked at Su Rui suspiciously, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, she would naturally not be rude and be caught.Picking up the wine cup with a smile, he looked at her calmly and calmly and said: "Yes, it's been so long, I want to have a drink. I heard that you are not in good health and have been recuperating. Are you recovering now?"

"Yeah, I had a small problem when I was at home. I didn't expect this recurrence to be fierce. Fortunately, the adults in the Tai Hospital have superb medical skills, and now I have recovered. Thank you, sister Qiao, for your concern. I respect you."

The wine glasses of the two touched lightly, and they looked like sisters in the eyes of outsiders.

Qiao Lingyi and Su Rui had a bad relationship, but everything was not clearly on the table.What's more, bickering in the harem is very common, if it's not the past, who can really remember a lifetime grudge.

At this time, seeing the two sitting together, talking happily, no one else became suspicious.

Qiao Lingyi wanted to find out the conspiracy of Chu Chenglan, Su Rui's girl, and Su Rui also wanted to get close to Qiao Lingyi on purpose, so the two of them really looked like they were separated by a layer of belly, smiling and getting along well.

Si Jin sat at the top, glanced at the two of them from the corner of her eyes, paused in her heart, then turned her eyes, and met the eyes of the noble concubine.Their eyes collided, they smiled at each other, and then turned away.

Xiao Qi said a few words to Concubine Xian, then looked at Si Jin again, seeing that she was all well, he was relieved.

"Look, the emperor's eyes are always on Concubine Xi. Even if Concubine Xi is not by the emperor's side, the emperor always cares about her. This is really an honor that no one in the palace has. It is enviable." Su Rui said softly Said, leaning into Qiao Lingyi's ear, "Speaking of which, elder sister Qiao and the emperor are childhood sweethearts, it's really a pity."

Qiao Lingyi's expression froze for a moment, then she looked at Su Rui and smiled, "Concubine Xi is pregnant now, the emperor should take care of her more. What is Su Meiren dissatisfied with?"

"I don't dare to be dissatisfied with my concubine, I just feel that many things are too unfair." Su Rui sighed heavily, "Sister Qiao, don't you think so?"

"What Su Meiren said is really reasonable, but so what?" Su Rui, a bitch, is so obviously provoking discord, does she really think she is a fool? "There are a lot of unfair things in this world. For example, someone was expelled from the family, for example, someone died innocently. Who should we go to for justice?"

Su Rui's smile froze slightly, knowing that Qiao Lingyi was ridiculing her secretly, wasn't it referring to the fact that Concubine Xi's family was expelled by Quzhou Su?
"There is right and wrong in everything, and there is a certain reason for things to happen, isn't it Sister Qiao?"

"So, if you have established your own truth, why bother to ask what is right and what is wrong?" Qiao Lingyi chuckled, "Everyone has a different standard in their hearts, and not everyone thinks the same."

In Quzhousu's view, it was reasonable for Quzhousu to expel the lineage of Concubine Xi, but others may not think so.

Qiao Lingyi's words really didn't save Su Rui any face.

These two people have hidden words in their words, you come and go, and they don't show weakness to each other.

"Really?" Su Rui smiled, "That means the strong are respected."

"Please."

Su Rui smiled at Qiao Lingyi, and gracefully returned to her seat.

Li Yunxiu was sitting with Wang Jingyun, when she saw Su Rui came back, she didn't pay attention to her, she just looked down at Wang Jingyun and said, "Stop talking to her, I think something is wrong with her."

Wang Jingyun nodded when she heard the words, "I always feel that after she recovers this time, the whole person has become a little different. It's a bit weird what kind of disease can change people's temperament so much." , "You said she took the initiative to find Qiao Xiaoyi, why?"

Li Yunxiu shook her head, "The two of them have been in a trance, who knows what they are talking about. But we should stay away from Qiao Xiaoyi, don't be used as a stepping stone, we are still foolish."

"Of course not." Wang Jingyun lowered her head, holding the wine glass in her hand, but looked at Concubine Xi sitting above her out of the corner of her eyes, and subconsciously said, "What do you think the Emperor likes about Concubine Xi?"

This question is really difficult to answer, Li Yunxiu was also stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "Concubine Xi has never been close to people in the harem, how can we have a chance to understand this?" But the way the emperor looked at Concubine Xi could not deceive anyone, He has her in his heart.

With three thousand beauties in the harem, and the emperor treating her like this, Concubine Xi is naturally not a simple person.

If you can know the reason why Concubine Xi is favored, then everything will be fine, but everyone will think about it, but no one can really say it.

Everyone took turns to toast the concubine Xian, while Si Jin sat there smiling and watching.Although all the beauties were in front of the concubine Xian, when they walked past Xiao Qi, all of them had slim waists and graceful postures, it can be seen that the ulterior motives are not drinking.

The queen looked at Concubine Xi, was silent, and suddenly said, "What do you think of Mrs. Wang?"

Your Majesty Wang?
Si Jin's eyes fell on Wang Jingyun, not understanding what the queen meant, but after thinking about it, she said cautiously: "The concubine has never been familiar with the sisters in the palace, so I can't say whether it's good or not, but She looks like a gentle lady."

The queen smiled slightly when she heard Concubine Xi's words, "Now that you are heavy, you have no time to take care of many things. If you can, let her share some of it for you."

Si Jin understood in an instant, did the queen want to flatter Wang Jingyun, and told herself cryptically to get out of the way?
The queen's temperament is not like such an impatient person. It is said that she would not do such a thing if she treats her so respectfully.So, the queen did this, is it the queen's intention, or Ling Guogong's intention?
Could it be that Duke Ling wants to join forces with the Wang family?
Countless thoughts flashed through Si Jin's mind, but it took only a moment, she smiled, looked at the queen and said very seriously: "The concubine only cares about herself now, the emperor's wife doesn't need to know what she wants to do." Concubine." With a smile on her face, alarm bells were already ringing in Si Jin's heart.

The queen looked at Concubine Xi's expression and found that she was indeed not unhappy, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking for a while.After a pause, he said, "A lot of times, having an extra arm is not a bad thing."

Si Jin held her breath in her heart, thinking only of multiple sons would be a bad thing, there are children born to different mothers in the harem, how can she calm down?
But this is a good thing for the queen, as she has more children, she can have more control.Check and balance each other, suppress each other, and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Does this one in my stomach make the queen feel dangerous?
That's why she did it?
Si Jin couldn't stop thinking about it, but her eyes looked in Wang Jingyun's direction. It must be said that she was indeed a gentle beauty.Such a person, no matter which man he is placed with, will be attracted by her temperament after a long time.

So, the queen wants to touch Wang Jingyun, so what should she do?
In the past few years, this was the first time that Si Jin had a disagreement with the queen. In fact, thinking about it carefully, such a situation would actually happen sooner or later.As her relationship with Xiao Qi deepened, no matter how harmless she acted, the queen would not rest in peace. Even if the queen could barely believe in herself, Duke Ling would never believe it.

Under such circumstances, it is often the queen who succumbs.Thinking of others, if it was her, I am afraid that she would trust her family more, instead of a concubine who is about to give birth to her second child, she really has no threat to herself.

With a long sigh in my heart, I lowered my head and smiled, then raised my head and looked at the queen, "Your Majesty is right." It's just that this arm is not what she wants, so let the empress herself use it.

It's just that she doesn't know what the queen will do next.

We can only wait and see.

Xiao Qi waited for the first round of toasts, then got up and left, acknowledging that he was busy with court affairs.Before leaving, he took Si Jin's hand and took her away together.

This time Si Jin didn't shy away from it, but calmly put her hand in Xiao Qi's in front of the queen, and smiled at him.

Xiao Qi's eyes flashed, the two have been together for a long time, and many subtle differences can be felt strange.Turning around in his heart, he wrapped Si Jin's hand in his own, and led her out of the hall step by step.

The two walked side by side and left slowly.

However, only the queen can walk side by side with the emperor.

Is it the negligence of the emperor, or the usurpation of Concubine Xi?

The queen looked at the backs of the two, her smile remained unchanged, but after sitting down, she knew in her heart that Concubine Xi was not happy.

In the past, she would never stand by the emperor's side, even if the emperor stretched out his hand to hold her, she would be suspiciously half a step behind to show her respect.

But today, Concubine Xi did not budge.

The noble concubine's eyes fell on the queen's body, she was as cautious and meticulous as she was, so she naturally noticed the difference here. Could it be that something happened between the queen and Concubine Xi that she didn't know about?

Concubine Xian's birthday was held very successfully. At least the emperor arrived, and Concubine Xi also came. Although the emperor took Concubine Xi away in the end, it was a very honorable event for Xingqing Palace.

After all, after the new year, the emperor rarely stepped into the harem.

The most disappointed ones were the young concubines, who thought that if Concubine Xi didn't come, they finally had a chance to show their presence in front of the emperor, but the emperor took Concubine Xi away with his own hands, leaving no chance for anyone.

The emperor is like Concubine Xi, and he can't leave her for a moment. This kind of thought has been deeply imprinted on people's hearts thousands of times.

After returning to Yihexuan, Guan Chang'an invited Xiao Qi to leave. It seemed that there was an urgent matter at Chongming Palace.After sending him away, Si Jin changed her clothes and removed her hair, and leaned on the soft pillow alone, still thinking about what the queen said.

Since the empress said this, I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of talking, but how will the empress send Wang Jingyun to the emperor?
