After flattering Wang Baoluo, the concubines returned to their seats one after another. At this time, the concubine who was looking sideways picked up the wine glass and walked down. Everyone looked at her in confusion, thinking that they had always been in the middle of the harem battle.
Does the foreign concubine also want to win over Wang Zhaoyi?
But while everyone was still speculating, the imperial concubine ignored Wang Baolu, who stood up to greet him, and walked straight towards Xi Qian. Wang Baolu's smile froze in embarrassment on his face, and his beautiful face changed with anger.
Got to be twisted.
Xiqian frowned and looked at the imperial concubine walking towards her. Although she didn't want to attract attention at this moment, she knew it was inevitable, so she had to stand up and salute to greet her.
However, the imperial concubine hurriedly helped her up, not making polite gestures but actually leaning down to help her. Xi Qian raised her head in surprise, and saw that there was no trace of malice in the imperial concubine's gentle smile, and there was even a hint of flattery.
"Sister, there is no need to be so polite. My sister has been working hard to serve the Emperor during these months when he was out incognito. On behalf of all the sisters, I would like to propose a toast to you." The imperial concubine raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp. The other concubines also did the same.
Stand up and respect her.
Xi Qian also drank a cup happily and said, "I don't deserve the compliments from the empress. It is my blessing to have the honor to serve the emperor. How dare I say hard work? The time for my concubine to enter the palace is still short. In the future
If there is anything I don't do well, I hope my sisters will give me some advice."
"My sister is too modest. My sister is extremely intelligent and considerate of people's hearts. I am afraid that I will have to ask my sister for advice in the future." The imperial concubine held her hand and spoke sincerely.
Xiqian did not dare to accept these words, and said grovelingly, "The empress is dignified and kind, virtuous and virtuous, and the nobility in her eyebrows is natural. How can the mediocre appearance of a concubine be compared? The empress's ridiculous praise is true."
Make the concubines fearful and uneasy."
The imperial concubine kept the same smile from beginning to end, and no one could tell her happiness or anger after her words. Xi Qian looked at the unchanging smile in her eyes, and somehow felt a palpitation in her heart, remembering her first time.
The scene when talking to Xia Yingying.
Perhaps because of Xia Yingying's influence, now she feels as if something is wrong when people are inexplicably close to her.
Putting aside the random thoughts in her mind, Xi Xuan looked at the imperial concubine with a gentle expression.
Perhaps she was moved by the compliments, the smile in the imperial concubine's eyes gradually grew, and the feeling of inappropriateness in Xi Xian's heart gradually dissipated.
"Sister, you are such an exquisite and clear person. No wonder the emperor wants to take you with him. The more I see you, the more I like you. If you are bored in the palace in the future, feel free to come to Ganquan Palace to find me."
After complimenting each other a few more times, the imperial concubine finally returned to her seat. Xi Qian secretly exhaled and wiped the sweat from her palms with her sleeves under the table. The response just now seemed casual, but she thought it over repeatedly.
Just said it out loud.
There is no queen in the palace, and the queen mother is imprisoned in Xiangning Palace. This noble concubine is the person in charge of the harem. If she is accidentally offended, the future life will not be easy, even for Yuwen Haoxuan
Even if he wants to protect himself, it is inconvenient to interfere in the affairs of the harem.
Xi Zhi's emotions had just calmed down, but Wang Baoluo, who had been humiliated because of her, did not want to let her go easily. Wang Baoluo chuckled and said, "My sister is so favored by the emperor and the imperial concubine. It is really enviable for my sisters."
, I think there must be something special about my sister. I have heard that the women in Ningguo are good at singing and dancing. I wonder if my sister can open our eyes?"
Immediately after Wang Baoluo finished speaking, some concubines who were friends with her echoed her. Xi Qian glanced at Yuwen Haoxuan, who was frowning slightly at the head of the palace, stood up and saluted Wang Baoluo, and said in a weak tone, "Your Majesty, please do me a favor."
I’m a concubine. Although the girls from Ning State are very good at singing and dancing, I don’t know anything about it, and I’m not afraid of my sisters’ jokes. My sister doesn’t even know how to be a female celebrity who is proficient in all her daughters’ families!”
After hearing her words, almost all the concubines covered their mouths and sneered. Although Xi Xian was demeaning herself with her words, everyone in the palace knew that there was also Empress Zhaoyi in the palace who was even more concerned about what her daughter's family should know.
I don't know anything about it. I usually hate it when others mention it, but today I dug a hole and jumped into it.
Zhao Shurong, who was quite at odds with Wang Baoluo, looked at Xi Qian with a sweet smile, but glanced at Wang Baoluo from the corner of her eye, "Sister, don't underestimate these things. This is what a woman should know, but look at my sister.
Such smart people will definitely learn quickly, unlike those stupid people who cannot learn even if they want to!"
Xi Qian nodded in response but did not answer. Her original intention was to let herself and Wang Baolu get off the ground, but she did not expect that Zhao Shurong would dare to make Wang Baoluo look so ugly in front of everyone.
Everyone peeked at Wang Baoluo's face, which turned blue and purple. The crowded hall was silent for a moment. I don't know how many people were hoping that she would be embarrassed.
Wang Baoluo looked at Zhao Shurong angrily, and Zhao Shurong's eyes were full of provocation, and the conflict was about to break out. However, Yu Wen Haoxuan, the head of the palace, was enjoying the food and wine in front of him calmly, turning a blind eye to everything that happened.
Seeing his laissez-faire attitude, Xiqiu no longer worried about any chaos. She just lowered her figure as low as possible to make herself less noticeable. Although the dispute started because of her, she didn't want to be involved.
.
Just when many people were gloating about the misfortune and wanted to see how things would end, the imperial concubine, who was tilting her head, slammed the wine glass in her hand onto the table and said, "Will the singing and dancing girls be of any importance?"
?It’s just something that can’t be put on the table. If you have time, you might as well think more about how to serve the emperor better. Xi Jieyu, you don’t have to waste time learning those useless things. I see you are sitting here.
All of you should ask Xi Jieyu for the Pope’s thoughts.”
The imperial concubine's words made the concubines who were vying to sing and dance feel ashamed. Even Zhao Shurong was a little embarrassed. However, the imperial concubine and the others did not dare to offend, so they passed on all their resentments to Xi.
On coriander body.
Xi Qian originally thought about getting out of the dispute, but she didn't expect that the imperial concubine's words would directly put her in the eye of the storm.
Seeing that Zhao Shurong was defeated, Wang Baoluo said proudly, "The imperial concubine still understands the righteousness. No matter how good her singing and dancing skills are, she can only add to the entertainment. No matter how good the skills of a female celebrity are, she can't get favor!"
The imperial concubine glanced at her lightly, neither agreeing nor disapproving. In the end, Wang Baolu could only sit back and sit back. No one took advantage of the verbal dispute, and it seemed that only Xi Qian benefited.
Xi Qian looked at the concubine who was looking up, trying to find something strange in her expression. However, the gentleness in the concubine's eyes was always extremely sincere. From time to time, she would raise a glass to her from afar through the crowd, expressing her love and appreciation.
