"Princess, slow down, the slaves can't keep up!" Xue Chun trotted behind Xi Xian who was walking fast.

"Go back quickly, it's a bad day." Xi Xian didn't slow down her pace, but walked even faster.

"It's not bad luck. The princess was a blessing in disguise. You didn't see how handsome the emperor was just now. He swooped into the air and took you into his arms. If I were you, you would die of happiness."

Xixian turned around abruptly, looked at Xuechun firmly and said, "You little girl, dare to say anything, and I will marry you in a few years, and you will be happy."

Xue Chun blushed, stomped her feet and said in embarrassment, "Princess, what are you talking about, slaves don't marry!"

"Look at our little girl blushing, I'm afraid it's Si Lang now?" After finishing speaking, Xi Xian lifted her skirt and ran forward.

"Princess, don't talk nonsense, there are no servants!" Xue Chun shouted after chasing after her.

"Don't be duplicity, or I'll find you one tomorrow." Xi Xian joked back, but didn't find a person standing at the corner in front of her.

When she saw it, it was too late to stop, and she was hit hard on the ground, but the man seemed to have been prepared, and only took a step back before stopping.

"The servant has no eyes. He bumped into Beauty Xi and asked her to forgive me." The man spoke respectfully, but there was a trace of disdain in his expression.

"Don't you have long eyes? You don't know how to hide when you see our princess!" Xue Chun said sharply, helping Xi Xian who was on the ground.

Xuechun wanted to reprimand but was stopped by Xixian, because she had already recognized that the man was Xiao Liangzi who was beside Wang Zhaoyi.

"It was me who got carried away and bumped into Eunuch. It's none of Eunuch's business. If Eunuch has something to do, he can do it himself." Xi Xian said peacefully.

"The slave is here to look for you, I don't want to happen to meet a beauty here."

Xi Xian frowned slightly, and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"

"Ms. Zhaoyi said that the concubines in the palace don't see each other very often, and they become unfamiliar with each other after a long time, so I invite all the sisters to sit in Lanchi Palace, so that we can get in touch with each other."

"Please, father-in-law, please tell your mother that my concubine is not feeling well recently, so I won't bother you, and I will avoid passing on the sickness to all the sisters." Xi Xian didn't know what Wang Zhaoyi's purpose was, but she was sure that nothing good would happen.

"It's hard for Ximei to be a slave. I just saw a beauty frolicking like a sick person. How can I tell my mother back?" Xiao Liangzi said, with a disgusting hypocrisy on his face, "Besides, Zhaoyi The empress is the head of the nine concubines, and it is also the duty of the people in the palace to go to greet her and listen to the training."

After hearing this, Xi Xian knew that she had to go, so she confessed to Xuechun, "Xuechun, you go back first, I'll just go there by myself."

Xuechun grabbed Xixian's cuff and held on, Wang Zhaoyi's hatred was known to everyone in the palace, she was worried about letting Xixian face it alone.

Xi Xian brushed Xuechun away without a trace, and said to Xiao Liangzi, "Then I will trouble my father-in-law to lead the way."

Xuechun did not leave, but followed closely behind Xixian. Xixian turned around and chased her away several times with her eyes, but Xuechun acted as if she hadn't seen it.

Xi Xian slowed down, deliberately distanced herself from Xiao Liangzi, and whispered to Xue Chun, "Don't follow me, go back to the palace and report the letter, if I don't come back for a long time, go to the lady Zhaoyuan for help."

Xuechun immediately understood Xixian's intentions, and after watching her and Xiao Liangzi walk away, he ran back to Wanyun Palace.

Stepping into the Lanchi Palace, Xi Xian only felt dazzling. Almost all the ornaments and decorations were gilded and inlaid with precious stones. They were extremely luxurious, and even ordinary palace people were very particular about their dress. Just looking at this style , it can be seen that Wang Zhaoyi's status in the palace is extraordinary.

Entering the main hall, I saw Wang Zhaoyi in gorgeous palace attire, sitting on the main seat, with several concubines sitting on both sides of the lower head. Shunmu was expressionless.

Presumably these are the concubines who live in the side hall of Lanchi Palace, Xi Xian stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen Lady Zhaoyi, I have seen all the sisters."

"Xi Mei is really hard to invite. We have been waiting for a long time." Before Wang Zhaoyi could speak, someone had already made trouble for her.

"Isn't it my sister who made my sisters wait so long? My sister is here to apologize to my sisters." Xi Xian apologized with a smile. The so-called stretching out her hand and not hitting the smiling face, the concubine who made trouble couldn't say anything more.

"Forget it, they are all my sisters, what's the matter later." Wang Baoluo raised her hand to signal Xi Xian to get up.

"Your Majesty is still magnanimous, and the concubines are ashamed of themselves." The concubines on both sides hurriedly seized the opportunity to flatter them.

Although it is flattery, there is no one who does not like to listen to good words. Wang Baoluo smiled, looked at the speaker appreciatively, and said with a smile, "If you want to talk about magnanimity, how can I compare with Li Zhaoyuan? The etiquette of paying respects to the middle school is all waived, isn't it, Lady Xi."

"That's unruly, how can it be compared with the magnanimity of the empress." Xi Xian didn't know how to respond, but the concubine who was flattering just now quickly relieved her.

Wang Baoluo stared at the phoenix, the concubine didn't know where she said something wrong, and she was terrified, while the other concubines at the side were secretly gloating, Xi Xian looked into her eyes and knew that the seemingly harmonious surface was actually turbulent.

Wang Baoluo brushed her temples and looked at Xi Xian again, "There are a lot of people entering the palace this time, and they all come from anywhere. I don't know where my sister is from?"

"The concubine's hometown is Ningguo in the southern land, which is far away from Jiangguo."

"Ningguo? Why haven't I heard of it, have you heard of it?" Wang Baoluo pretended to support her forehead, but in fact she just wanted to embarrass Xi Xian.

Immediately someone answered the next sentence, "I really haven't heard of it. Could it be that he painted a few acres of land and claimed to be a country?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but Xi Xian said disapprovingly, "Ningguo is indeed a small country, but it is a land rich in fish and rice. The climate is like spring all year round. Most of the big merchants from various countries buy properties in Ningguo for a long time."

In the face of humiliating Xi Xian, she was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Wang Baoluo's wishful thinking come to naught.

Seeing that this plan failed, Wang Baoluo put aside the topic and said, "My younger sister became a beauty from a young girl that day. I think the emperor likes you very much, but he only summoned my younger sister once, and there was no news from her again. I can see it in my eyes." Worrying for you."

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your concern. It's the concubine who is too dull to be holy." Although she could hear the hypocrisy in her words, Xi Xian had no choice but to thank her.

"That's why I want to call you here to teach me well, so that my sister can share the favor with me." Wang Baoluo winked at Xiao Liangzi beside him, and waved to Xixian, "Come on, stand in this palace." Come here."

Xi Xian cautiously stood beside Wang Baoluo, and saw Xiao Liangzi holding an incense burner.

Wang Baoluo took the incense burner, opened the lid and smelled it, and said, "Don't look at the cold and dry winter in Jiang Country, but the summer is also very warm and humid. This small incense burner is indispensable. In the past, I used to hold the incense burner in my hand to serve. By the emperor's side, to drive away the dampness and refresh the emperor, now that summer is coming, you should practice this first."

In the humid Ningguo, the incense burner is an essential item in life, and Xixian is no stranger to its use.

After receiving the incense burner, Xi Xian stood aside silently, while Wang Zhaoyi chatted with the other concubines about the daily life, as if he didn't intend to embarrass him.

Did Wang Zhaoyi just let her go?Xi Xian felt very uneasy, with Wang Baoluo's character, how could she give up so easily, if it was just to teach her, why would she put up such a big posture.

The moment she took over the incense burner, Xi Xian clearly saw the cunning flashing in Wang Baoluo's eyes. Could there be something wrong with this incense burner?

Xi Xian looked carefully at the incense burner in his hand. The gold-plated relief vividly showed a scene of a hundred birds facing the phoenix. The body of the phoenix was inlaid with countless small and dazzling gemstones, and every bird around had one in its beak. , It seems to be making offerings to the phoenix, just take a look at it, you can know the value of this incense burner.

Suddenly, Xi Xian felt a little strange, the incense burner in her hand seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and only then did she understand Wang Zhaoyi's real intention.
