Chapter 177 She Understands What I Want

At night, Yonghe Palace, the Imperial Palace of Apocalypse.

On the main seat, Concubine Su Su Miaowan was holding the teacup in her hand, but she hadn't touched it, thinking deeply...
After a long time, Xiaoyu, the maidservant at the side, asked, "Ma'am, are you thinking about Xue Jieyu?"

Hearing the sound, Concubine Su shook her head and replied, "No. It's just that there are some things that I don't understand."

After a while, she said again: "Yes, Xue Jieyu should return to the palace tomorrow."

Xiaoyu asked again: "Mother, you said Xue Jieyu went to perform the ceremony on behalf of the royal family. After returning, will the emperor promote her?"

Concubine Su shook her head, and said: "That's not necessarily true. This time we came back from Yunzhou together, we thought that the status of the harem should be changed, but now it is because of the sudden death of Concubine Xian. It didn't move at all."

"Now Miss Xiao is engaged to the eleventh prince. This is a slap in the face of the emperor. The eleventh prince and the emperor have long since only had superficial harmony. But Xue Jieyu was sent to perform the ceremony. And I don't like Xue Jieyu even more!"

Xiaoyu smiled when she heard the words, and said again: "That's a good thing! Madam, this Xue Jieyu was not liked by the emperor in the first place, and the emperor seldom went to her palace. Now that it is like this, the empress will have even fewer opponents in the future, isn't it true?" better!"

Concubine Su smiled, nodded and replied, "That's right, that's right. But I'm also worried."

Xiaoyu asked puzzledly: "Mother, what are you worried about? Now in this harem, you have the highest status. Without Concubine Xian, maybe you can be directly promoted soon, maybe you can even be in the middle Where is the palace!"

Concubine Su shook her head, and said: "That's not necessarily true. Xiaoyu, after returning from Yunzhou, some ministers also invited the emperor to choose the queen. But the emperor used the reason that the people of Yunzhou had just suffered a disaster and it was not appropriate to hold a national celebration." Rejected. Now, this palace can't see through the emperor's thoughts."

"Furthermore, according to their births, the original Miss Xiao and Concubine Xian are all the daughters of the founding marquis' mansion. Their status is so noble, how can I compare with it!"

"Back when I entered the palace, I just hoped to find a place for myself. This place doesn't need to be too high, but it can't be too low. It's enough to protect my mother and myself. So from the day I entered the palace, there was With the concubine Xian in front, I would not even think about being in the back, that would only add to my troubles."

Xiaoyu nodded and replied: "Yes, Madam has no children, so I didn't like you at all. Now, it is because of your entry into the palace and promotion of your status, Madam, that Master treats Madam better."

Concubine Su sneered at the corner of her mouth for a moment, and said again: "For the sake of his family, my father wholeheartedly wants to push Bengong to the back position. He has this ability, so naturally Bengong will not stop him, so let him worry about it."

"Now that Concubine Xian is gone, what is the emperor thinking? If he chooses the empress again, what kind of woman does he want to choose? I can't see through it."

"Perhaps, the emperor is still waiting and watching, so he rejected the minister's request. I am just worried about what kind of woman will be in the middle palace? I just hope that the queen who will be selected in the future will be able to get along better. That's enough."

"En." Xiaoyu nodded again and replied, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you have always been cautious and considerate in the harem, and you don't make things difficult for others. Your Majesty is so smart, so you can naturally enjoy this holy favor in peace and security."

Concubine Su smiled and said, "Well, I hope so."

At night, at the station of the Ministry of Rites.

In a wing room, behind the desk, Xue Jieyu was holding a book, but she never read it, with a smile on her face...

When Su Lan came in with a teacup, she saw this scene, stepped forward one by one, picked up the paper and pen beside her, and wrote: "Miss, you are so happy, did you say something in Miss Xiao's letter?" good thing?
Lin Xue'er saw it, and also wrote: Miss Xiao said, she understands what I want in my heart, and she will try her best to help every day.

"Oh!" Su Lan replied with a smile, and wrote again: That's great, miss.

Lin Xueer nodded and smiled, picked up the papers one by one, and lit them with a candle beside her. After a while, the papers were reduced to ashes.

Night, Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

On the pear flower couch, Xiao Jinxi stared quietly at the chessboard in front of her, holding a jade piece with both fingers and rubbing it...
After a long time, I just put the jade in my hand on the chessboard, sighed deeply, and said, "An Xue, when grandma comes tomorrow night, you must guard the Splendid Pavilion and don't allow anyone to come in."

An Xue bowed and replied, "Yes, miss, An Xue understands."

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi was staring at the jade pieces on the chessboard with a gloomy expression...

After a long time, knock...knock... There was a knocking sound from behind the bookshelf.

Luo Er was taken aback, and said: "Miss, Brother Yi just left not long ago, why is he here again?"

Then he got up and went to the bookshelf, and said while walking, "Brother Yi must be missing Miss again!"

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly, and said, "Luo Er, open the bookshelf quickly."

"Hey... I see." Luo Er replied with a smile.

After a while, the bookshelf was slowly opened, and Mo Yi walked out from inside.

Luo Er leaned over and said, "Brother Yi, you miss Miss again!"

Mo Yi smiled, and replied: "Luo Er is really smart."

"Hey..." Luo Er instantly smiled triumphantly.Pulling An Xue and Qiuzhu out one by one, he said, "Sister An Xue, sister Qiuzhu, let's go out and don't disturb Miss and Brother Yi."

Xiao Jinxi smiled helplessly for a moment, and said, "Luo Er, your big brother Yi is teasing you!"

"Ah!" Luo Er, who was halfway there, was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Mo Yi stepped forward, held Xiao Jinxi's hand, and said, "I didn't tease Luo Er, Xi Er, I really miss you."

Luo Er was overjoyed for a moment, and said again: "That's right, Big Brother Yi definitely wants Miss!"

Xiao Jinxi wiped his forehead helplessly, well, these two people are addicted to singing together!

Immediately he said: "Mo Yi, stop making trouble, Master Han is still waiting."

Mo Yi smiled and replied: "Understood, let's go now."

Then he said: "Luo'er, bring your lady a cloak."

"Hey...that's good!" Luo Er replied with a smile.

Xiao Jinxi was puzzled for a moment, and asked, "Mo Yi, didn't we meet Master Han in the study? What do you want the cloak for?"

"Brother Yi, here it is." Luo Er, who had already brought the cloak, said again: "Miss, maybe Brother Yi wants to show you around."

Mo Yi smiled, took the cloak, tied it carefully for the woman, and said again: "Luo'er is right, I haven't taken Xi'er to see the Mo Garden at night, let's take a look together tonight."

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly: "Yes, good." Then he said: "An Xue, you guys should go to rest earlier, and let Wei Mo accompany Luo Er to wait for me."

"Miss!" Luo Er who was on the side suddenly exclaimed.

An Xue and Qiu Zhu on the side already suppressed their laughter, bowed and replied: "Yes, Miss, we understand."
