Chapter 217 Night in the Palace

"Wanxin is not afraid of having the Queen here." Wanxin knew that the Queen's words seemed to comfort herself, but in fact it was not. In this place where the strong prey on the weak, no one will be your eternal backing, even sisters, even mother and son are no exception.

The Empress must have her own purpose for the protection of Wanxin, and this purpose is definitely not to protect Wanxin. Wanxin can't guess what the real purpose is, but she has only been in the palace for three days. If the Empress can become her barrier, Wanxin would be reluctant to do so.

"Today I am too tired, so let Xiao Gongzi take you to the side palace to rest." The queen greeted a young eunuch who looked very tender, and then left the palace surrounded by many palace maids and eunuchs.

"Great send to the Queen."

"Mr. Please come here."

Wan Xin followed the eunuch to the room and saw that the room was elegant and simple. It was obvious that it was the display and decorations in the room according to the queen's preferences. There was still a faint Buddha fragrance floating in the room. All the furniture was simple. Although there were everything, there was no luxury.

Xiao Gongzi looked around Wan Xin and looked around the room. The people who stayed by the queen were all good at observing their expressions. He knew that Wan Xin was a woman from the Shen family in the capital. "Mr., the queen has never liked extravagance. Everything here looks a bit simple, but everything you can use is available. If there is anything incomplete, the prince can tell you."

Wan Xin was quite surprised by Xiao Gongzi's contemplation, "Mr. Gong, it's already very good here. I like the Queen's temperament and do not like the overly luxurious appearance. On the contrary, this room can see the owner's elegance and mind."

Hearing others praise his master, Xiao Gongzi also smiled on his face and said proudly, "Of course, the Queen has everything in her heart and has always been compassionate. If the Queen had not been in the harem, I really wouldn't know what kind of trouble would have happened."

"Little Gongzi, what did you say? Be careful that Empress opens your mouth." A capable female voice came in. Little Gongzi turned around and immediately bowed his body, grinned, "I think who I think it is, isn't this Aunt Jinli?"

"Hmph." The palace maid who was called snorted, then ignored the little palace. Instead, she looked at Wanxin with a smile and bowed, "I pay homage to the Xiliang County Lord. My name is Jinli. The Empress said that you are the only one, and you are not familiar with the place in the palace. Send me to serve the county king and order the county king to send you whatever you want."

Wan Xin didn't expect that the Empress was so careful that she had thought of such a small thing as not having a palace maid around her. She deserves to be the leader of the Six Palaces.

"Aunt Jinli is serious. I am not a master, so you don't have to call yourself a slave."

"This is not allowed. Although you are just a guest of the Queen, this etiquette must not be missing." Jinli's etiquette is thoughtful, "And this harem is not that big, but there are quite a few rules. I will serve the county lord by my side these days. If there is any problem with the county lord, you can find me."

Wan Xin knew that there were many rules in the palace, which was why she never liked the palace. During the past few days of her stay, she had no intention of stepping out of the Queen's palace. But she was still very grateful for the Queen's kindness. "That folk girl thanked the Queen for her kindness, but aunt, you really don't have to keep my name from the Junjun, it sounds strange. My maids in my family call me a lady, otherwise you can call them too."

Jinli was slightly stunned and immediately changed into a respectful expression, "I will follow the orders of the lady."

"Since the county lord has been taken care of, everyone will go back and report first." Before Xiao Zhangzi left, he looked at Wan Xin meaningfully. His eyes were filled with pain, despair and anger. Wan Xin felt that the hair was standing up. She didn't know why the little eunuch who was polite to her just now suddenly changed into this face like a change of face. Wan Xin blinked her eyes. This feeling no longer existed. At this time, Xiaoluzi's figure had gradually disappeared.

"Miss? You've been tired for a day. How about today's dinner here?" Jinli has already started to act as a palace maid and serve Wanxin with all his heart and strength.

Although Wanxin has been busy all day, he doesn’t feel hungry. “I don’t want to have a meal anymore.”

"Then I waited for the lady to wash it. It was not too early, so I took a rest soon."

Wan Xin nodded. She was really tired. For some reason, it would make people feel extremely tired in this palace. She had been so busy in the Shen Mansion on weekdays, but she had never been as tired as she is today.

"Miss's hair is so good, black and shiny." After Jinli served Wanxin to comb her hair, she began to comb her hair. Wanxin originally wanted to comb herself, but Jinli insisted on combing Wanxin's hair. Wanxin couldn't resist it, and it was worth letting Jinli comb her.

Wan Xin smiled, "Thank you, for some reason, it always feels so quiet here, is it so quiet on weekdays?"

Jinli nodded and looked at Wan Xin in the mirror, "Of course, the saddest thing in the palace is late at night. Look at so many women in this palace, each of them is waiting for the emperor's curtain. And often there are many people who can't wait for the emperor in their entire lives." Jinli sighed as she said.

"How long will it take for you to leave the palace?" Wan Xin knew that although the concubines had no chance to leave the palace when they entered the palace, the palace maids were different. When they reached the age, they could leave the palace to live, get married, and do what they wanted.

"Miss, there are two years left." Jinli's voice became relaxed when she thought she could leave the queen immediately.

Wan Xin had already heard the change in Jinli's tone and asked softly, "Isn't it good to leave here?"

"It's good to say it here, but it's bad to say it's bad. If you want to say it's good, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking. Even if you can't eat outside, you still have some food in the palace. If you can't say it's good, don't be afraid of the ladies' jokes. Now I have several children outside at this age, and I don't even have anyone I like. And I miss my parents and brothers and sisters very much. Not everyone is like a little palace." Jinli honestly explained the pros and cons of the palace from the perspective of a palace maid. Wan Xin nodded gently while listening, expressing his agreement with Jinli's view.

When Wanxin heard the last sentence, she was a little surprised, "What did you say just now? Not everyone is like Xiao Gongzi?"

Jinli raised her hand and covered her mouth with her hands, and a look of annoyance appeared on her face, "I just said this. Did the lady hear it wrong?"

Seeing that Jinli avoided this topic, Wan Xin stopped exploring it. Now her relationship with Jinli can be said to be nothing. If you want to find out something, it is absolutely impossible to find out from Jinli now.

However, Wan Xin was already in her own thoughts at this time, and even Jinli didn't realize that she left. Why did Jinli say that not everyone is like Xiao Gongzi? Xiao Gongzi? Eunuch Zhang? Wan Xin suddenly had a vague answer in his heart. Could it be that Xiao Gongzi had something to do with Eunuch Zhang? Otherwise, how could Jinli say such strange things? Coupled with the strange look when Xiao Gongzi left, Wan Xin had already concluded in his heart that Xiao Gongzi must have some intimate connection with Eunuch Zhang.

Xiao Gongzi looked at her like a murderer, but Wan Xin never saw the people in the palace. If she said she had some grudges with anyone, except Rong Le, Concubine Cao was Eunuch Zhang. A little eunuch and the queen's side, he should not be Cao Guifei. Since he was not Cao Guifei, he was not Rong Le's person. And since he was not Cao Guifei, he was not Rong Le's person. And except for these two people, the only one left was Xiao Gongzi. But how could Xiao Gongzi have a connection with Eunuch Zhang? Wan Xin had a headache thinking. She always felt that some clear points flashed in her mind, but she could not catch them no matter what. This made Wan Xin very upset, so she simply put the matter aside first and closed her eyes to sleep.

If Xiao Gongzi really had any connection with Eunuch Zhang, then if he wanted to take revenge, he would never miss the great opportunity for these three days. Wan Xin was inevitably worried. Why were there dangers everywhere? Especially now, it is unlikely to rely on the Queen, there are tigers in front and jackals in the back. Wan Xin could only rely on herself, and she thought carefully about what solutions she had to deal with.

"Mother, what did you say? Didn't you agree to me? Why didn't you do it?" The sound of falling and beating came from Concubine Cao's hall. With a bang, a porcelain fell to the ground. It must be that Princess Rongle fell down some antique treasures in anger. The eunuch at the door did not look strange about the noise in the house, which proved that Rongle often fell and beating, and they were no longer surprised.

"Rongle, calm down, listen to me. Shen Wanxin is actually in the queen's house. What should you do if you ask your mother to do? And I have warned you to keep calm and calm in everything. And what about you? You always can't keep calm and act hasty. Why did you kidnap Wanxin? And you still find out? Who did you make it wrong? You actually let the prince see it. Do you know how long the queen had been holding on to this point? "Concubine Cao was also angry. She had already run around for Rongle's affairs and hit a nail in the queen's place. But Rongle not only did not be grateful but kept complaining about her. How could she not be angry?

Rong Le also knew that he was a little too much, so he hurriedly attached to Concubine Cao and said softly, "Mother, Rong Le knew he was wrong, I was always anxious. But why did Shen Wanxin be in the Queen's Hall? Why did the father keep her in the palace?"

"You stupid child, it would be inconvenient for her to leave the palace. Now she is in the harem, whose place is this?" Concubine Cao poked Rong Le's forehead with her hand and reminded softly.

Rong Le was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Cao, with a knowing smile on his face, "Daughter understands, it's better for the mother's method. This is our territory, can she still make flowers here? But Mother, Shen Wanxin has been staying in the queen's hall, what should I do?"

Concubine Cao came out of Rong Le's temple again and said dotingly, "What do you silly girl, the queen, and the old lady do in your daily life?"

"Of course it's chanting. My daughter has accompanied her several times. Didn't the mother forget it?"

"How could the mother forget? She pretended to worship Buddha every day just for your father's sake. The mother always disdained this kind of behavior of acting like this. Since she would kneel beside the Buddha and recite the Buddha devoutly every day, can she still care about where Chen Wanxin is? Daughter, come over." Concubine Cao pulled Rongle and put her red lips close to Rongle's ears. Her red lips opened lightly, and no one else could hear what Concubine Cao was saying. Rongle's expression gradually became overjoyed. After Concubine Cao finished speaking, Rongle hugged Concubine Cao's neck.

"Mom, you are so great. My daughter must study like you. Just do this. I don't believe that Chen Wanxin can take out my Wuzhishan?" Rong Le's cute expression no longer existed, and she changed into a spicy feeling that no one had seen before. This expression was the same as Concubine Cao. Concubine Cao would not mind her daughter learning her viciousness at all. Instead, she felt that Rong Le was too kind and ruthless. Non-toxic is not a husband. It has always been a famous saying of Concubine Cao.

No matter what kind of man Rongle married afterwards, even if it was Liu Fanchen, if she wanted to make her home stable, Concubine Cao believed in killing the roots. And Chen Wanxin became Rongle's first experimental test.

Concubine Cao hugged Rong Le's shoulders, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had not been so excited for a long time. Since she became the Concubine, she had never taken action because she knew that the position of the queen would not be her. Even if she got rid of the queen, both the remaining Concubine Wanxian and Concubine Zhang Shu could be ascended to the throne. Instead of making wedding dresses for others, it would be better to maintain the status quo, and the emperor's favor for her did not fade, but why did she show no sign of pregnancy again after giving birth to Rong Le. Even if she had already found an imperial physician to treat her, each imperial physician said that her body was nothing different, but no matter how she was, she could not get pregnant again.

On the contrary, the emperor comforted her that even if only Rongle was the same. But is the same? It was completely different for her. Rongle was always a girl, a person who would get married sooner or later, and she could not help her ascend to the rear.

Concubine Cao felt even more angry when she thought that the queen had two sons. She instantly added this hatred to Wanxin. She didn't consider whether she was unreasonable. Queen, aren't you protecting Chen Wanxin today? Tomorrow I will let you see what the ending will be for the person you are trying to protect.

Concubine Cao looked at Rong Le in her arms and patted her shoulder gently. Although her technique was gentle and showed her maternal love, if Rong Le saw her current expression, she would be scared to death.

Chengxiang Palace

"You said that the emperor has agreed to Liu Fanchen's request and will marry him and Shen Wanxin?" The queen looked at herself in the mirror and let the palace maid gently her temples.

"Qi Bien, that's true."

"Ha, fortunately, the Ai family did not agree to Concubine Cao's request, otherwise wouldn't it be a human inside and outside?" The queen seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be asking the palace maid behind her.

"Empress and wise."
