Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 642
"Master, the people from Yichun Palace are here." In the Xingyun Pavilion, Concubine Xing was leaning on the soft bed, thinking of something, when the voice of the little palace maid woke her up from her contemplation.

"Yichun Palace?" Repeatedly, Concubine Xing sat up straight, bit her lips, her eyes were full of doubts.

"Let her come in." No matter what, Yichun Palace belonged to Concubine Rong, so she wanted to see it anyway.

With Concubine Xing's order, Hong Xiu quickly entered the room, and she saluted Concubine Xing with a very respectful gesture.

"My maidservant greets Concubine Xing, and by the order of the imperial concubine, I invite Master Concubine Xing to go to Yichun Palace for lunch at noon." After saluting, Hongxiu opened his mouth and explained his purpose of coming.

"Invite me to Yichun Palace for dinner? I don't know why the imperial concubine is looking for me?" Concubine Xing admitted that she has no friendship with Rong Guifei, and Rong Guifei has no reason to invite herself to Yichun Palace for dinner.

"The slaves and maids don't know the thoughts of the imperial concubine or empress. They will know when the concubine Xing and the master go."

Hearing Concubine Xing's question, Hong Xiu blessed her with a smile on her face, and Concubine Xing had no choice but to respond when she said so.

"I see, I will definitely go to Yichun Palace at noon." Nodding, Concubine Xing watched the palace man send Hongxiu out.

When Hongxiu left, Concubine Xing sat on the soft couch, her brows were tightly frowned, she guessed what Concubine Rong was asking her for, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Concubine Xing knew very well that Concubine Rong and Concubine Xian were different, maybe she could play Concubine Xian with applause, but Concubine Rong could not.

Thinking about facing Concubine Rong, Concubine Xing felt indescribably irritated.

However, even if Concubine Xing didn't want to go anymore, she still came to Yichun Palace at noon.

"Sister Concubine Xing is here, hurry up and sit down, you don't need to be polite." Concubine Rong smiled when Concubine Xing entered the hall, beckoning her to sit beside her.

In response to the salute, Concubine Xing came to Concubine Rong's side. She did not sit directly beside Concubine Rong, but sat on the chair next to Concubine Rong.

"I don't know why Concubine Rong is here to find my concubine?" Concubine Xing understood that she didn't need to deal with Concubine Rong, so she asked Concubine Rong directly.

"Look at you, what are you doing so nervous?" Hearing Concubine Xing's question, the smile on Concubine Rong's face deepened, she ordered Hongxiu to bring refreshments, and then she spoke again.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to find someone to eat with me. You also know that the emperor only goes to Guanju Palace now, and eats alone. It's inevitable that I will be lonely."

Concubine Rong's words are naturally not true, she is still very content with Princess An accompanying her.

Because of Concubine Xing's relationship, Concubine Rong asked Li Zheng to take Princess An to have dinner in the side hall today.

Concubine Rong's words did not lower Concubine Xing's vigilance, so she would not believe that Concubine Rong was really bored, so she was allowed to accompany her for lunch.

In the harem, there were so many concubines, she didn't look for anyone else, she just looked for herself, it was clear that she had something to do.

However, if she didn't say anything right now, she couldn't continue to ask questions, so Concubine Xing had no choice but to wait for the tea to be served and took a sip of it.

Concubine Rong saw Concubine Xing's vigilance, the smile on her face was still there, but there was a coldness in her eyes.

In recent days, she has been investigating Concubine Xing's identity, just as she guessed before, Concubine Xing is not the real Concubine Xing.

However, the matter can only be found here, and if you want to investigate in detail, there are no clues.

Concubine Rong was handed over to Hongxiu to investigate Concubine Xing's affairs. After investigation, Hongxiu found that all the people who had contact with Concubine Xing were gone now.

Some died of illness, some were accidental, in short, none of them got a good death.

Because of this, Concubine Rong realized that the current Concubine Xing is not simple, I am afraid that the former Concubine Xing has already been killed by her.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, Concubine Rong should tell Emperor Jing, after all, it is such a big matter.

However, Concubine Rong wanted to test Concubine Xing to see who she was, and that was why Concubine Rong invited Concubine Xing to her Yichun Palace for dinner.

"Your Majesty, the lunch is ready." The palace man's voice came from outside the palace, Concubine Rong responded and looked at Concubine Xing.

"Concubine Xing, let's have dinner with me." Greeting Concubine Xing, Concubine Rong stood up and walked towards the table. Concubine Xing bit her lip and got up to follow.

Sitting at the table, opposite Concubine Xing, Concubine Rong was sitting. Concubine Xing noticed that there was a brocade box beside her.

The brocade box was covered, so Concubine Xing didn't know what was in the brocade box?
"The brocade box is a gift from Ben Gong to you, but don't worry, it's not too late to open it after eating."

Noticing Concubine Xing's gaze, Concubine Rong smiled and said, Concubine Xing hurriedly got up to thank her and then sat down again.

"Hongxiu, you go and watch outside the palace. I will have a rest with Concubine Xing." After the lunch was set, the palace people all retreated. Concubine Rong looked at Hongxiu and gave orders.

When she said this, Hongxiu hesitated. After all, she was the one who investigated Concubine Xing, and she knew that Concubine Xing was dangerous.

"It's okay." Seeing Hongxiu's hesitation, Concubine Rong spoke again, she felt that even if Concubine Xing was dangerous, she should not be able to do anything in Yichun Palace right now.

"Yes." The master gave such instructions, Hong Xiu responded and retreated to the outside of the hall.

At this time, in the main hall of Yichun Palace, only Concubine Rong and Concubine Xing were left.

"Sister Concubine Xing, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold." Picking up the chopsticks, Concubine Rong greeted Concubine Xing, Concubine Xing responded, and glanced at the brocade box again.

Everyone is curious, no matter who they are.

There was a brocade box with a lid beside her, so Concubine Xing would naturally be curious about what was in the brocade box.

After taking a few bites, Concubine Rong noticed Concubine Xing's gaze and couldn't help but smile and said, "Looking at Concubine Xing's appearance, you seem to be very interested in the gift I prepared for you?"

Hearing what Concubine Rong said, Concubine Xing's eyes flicked over the brocade box again.

"That being the case, then open it and have a look, maybe there will be surprises." Picking up a chopstick dish and putting it on her own plate, Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Xing and said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, concubine is welcome, thank you, concubine." Indeed, Concubine Xing was very curious about the things in the brocade box.

Now that Concubine Rong has opened her mouth, she naturally won't hold back anymore.

Reaching out to open the brocade box, she saw a small painting scroll in the brocade box, Concubine Xing's eyes flashed doubts, she reached out to take out the scroll, and looked towards Concubine Rong.
