Chapter 51 The Invitation of the Noble Concubine

The maid next to the noble concubine came to invite Ling Xiao to the Yingyue Palace and let her accompany her to relieve her boredom? This reason is so weird. Since Xie Guifei was pregnant, not to mention that the emperor has visited her every day. Even for the rest of the time, it was a family. The wife at home and abroad learned the news. Who would like to miss this opportunity to flatter? In this case, how could she be bored?

"Let's go back first. I'll change my clothes and I'll be there in a minute." Ling Xiao's mind has been turned several times. Seeing that he couldn't push it, he could only respond first.

Dai He left with a smile and turned around and left.

"Miss, you can't go." After Dai He left, Qingwu said in a hurry.

Er Lan also looked serious and hesitated, "The little master has to go, but the little master, you have been living in a simple way to avoid contact with the noble concubine. If you go today, you may have all your previous achievements."

Ling Xiao looked at the direction of Yingyue Palace, took Erlan's words, and said, "In case her child has any mistake, it's my sin."

However, as Erlan said, she had to go. Who can refuse the invitation of the noble concubine, not to mention the pregnant noble concubine. Nowadays, even the queen has a vague intention of being overridden by her, not to mention her little concubine. The noble concubine's close maid of honor came to invite her in person. If she doesn't go, she doesn't have to wait for anything else. The noble concubine can deal with her directly.

On the way to Yingyue Palace, Qingwu said worriedly, "Miss, why don't you find an excuse to push it? If it really doesn't work, it's okay to pretend to be sick."

"I can push it this time, what about the next time?" As Ling Xiao walked, he said, "What's more, I'm quite valued by the emperor now, but in front of the noble concubine, it's nothing. She seems to be polite to me, but if she wants to take action against me, it's easy. If she can't avoid it, it's better to deal with it head-on and see what she is going to do.

Hearing this, Qing Wu looked solemn, as if he were following his young lady to the battlefield, and walked to the Yingyue Palace.

"Go in later and behave more naturally." When he was about to reach the door of Yingyue Palace, Ling Xiao looked at the face of Qingwu, who was like a great enemy, and couldn't help saying.

"Ah? Is the maidservant's face ugly? Qingwu pinched herself. Maybe she felt that she was too stiff, so she took a few more shots.

Ling Xiao was speechless, "Are you going to relax your facial muscles?"

When she entered the main hall of Yingyue Palace, Ling Xiao was relieved. There were many people in the hall. It seemed that the noble concubine did not only invite her. As long as you don't get along alone, the suspicion will be much smaller in case of an accident. But Ling Xiao is a little puzzled. It's not that he hasn't visited before, but he just came with others. What's the difference from today? What is her purpose?

It has been a long time since we talked about tea, and I haven't seen anything unusual for Xie Guifei to her. Ling Xiao gradually relaxed. Maybe she just wanted to show off, or just to make her nervous. Although she doesn't think that the noble concubine is not such a boring person, she can't move if the enemy doesn't move. At this time, she can't panic.

"Sisters, the weather is getting cooler. Why don't we go to the Royal Garden for a walk? Sitting in this palace all day long, my palace is stuffy." The noble concubine held her forehead, pinched her eyebrows, and smiled at the crowd.

"That's good, Madam, you know, my sister, I can't sit still the most. I have to come and talk to the Empress every day." As Mu Junyao said, she came forward to help Xie Guifei get up, and her words were very close.

After Mu Junyao's words, Ling Xiao suddenly found that although there were many people who were together today, most of them were close to Xie Guifei, and it could even be said that it was her.

Ling Xiao's heart tightened. Is Xie Guifei going to attack her? For a long time, they can be said to be at peace with each other. Even if Ling Xiao is favored, the noble concubine has not done anything on her face. But this does not mean that Xie Zhiqing is a kind person.

Just a while ago, a little maid in Yingyue Palace was accidentally splashed by hot oil and disfigured. This matter is strange. It is a maid of honor who waits in the inner hall. According to reason, it is impossible to be exposed to hot oil or something. What's more strange is that it is said that a few days before the accident, the emperor came to visit the noble concubine one day, and she appeared in front of the emperor in a very dress. Although the emperor didn't look at her much, he may make the noble concubine hate her.

In the history of the harem of the Qianxi Dynasty, there are many examples of maids flying up branches and becoming phoenixes and becoming palace concubines. Not to mention this dynasty, isn't it? At that time, she was just a maid in the prince's mansion. Although her position is still not high now, she gave birth to the emperor's only child, and her status has long been different.

The power of role models is infinite. For a slightly beautiful maidservant, who doesn't want to change the existing fate. In contrast, the concubines are most afraid of the maids of honor who have this kind of indisparable thoughts around them. Because it's not just a matter of fighting for favor, but also a matter of face. They can tolerate other new people joining, but they must not tolerate the people they serve, who will one day become their "sisters".

Maybe the maid of honor may not have that idea, but even if it is only one in ten thousand, the noble concubine will not let it go. What's more, I heard that the maid of honor is indeed too outstanding. She dares to be so bold under the eyes of the noble concubine. Maybe what will happen behind her.

In fact, Ling Xiao guessed that this matter may be the news that the noble concubine herself intended to release, in order to deter everyone. Naturally, no one dares to question the noble concubine. Even if the queen knows, it's just a "little thing".

Ling Xiao thought of this, but he became more and more uneasy. Although she didn't take the maid's life, for the woman, disfigurement is probably more terrible than death. It can be seen that Xie Guifei is by no means a good person.

The group walked to the imperial garden. Ling Xiao wanted to stay away from the noble concubine and try to keep a distance, but after all, it was not easy to do it too obvious, and he could only mention 120,000 points of spirit. Ling Xiao always felt that she was squeezed into the noble concubine intentionally or unintentionally, and she became more vigilant.

When they came to the royal garden, they found their own place to sit down. There were many pavilions in the garden, but each of them was not big, and no one could sit on everyone, so everyone sat together in twos and threes.

The noble concubine still looked a little bored. She sat with Mu Junyao and others, and then stood up again after a few words.

The noble concubines stood up, and who dared to sit down, so they followed one after another.

"Let's sit down. The imperial doctor said that pregnant people should not sit for a long time. I just stand up and walk a few steps."

Ling Xiao was still standing, because she saw the noble concubine coming to her and obviously wanted to say something to her. She couldn't pretend not to know at all.

"Ling Wanyi." The noble concubine is still the same, holding her waist with one hand and the other on Dai He's hand.

"Yes, the concubine is here." Ling Xiao bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Do you know when I married the emperor?" The noble concubine suddenly asked this question, which made Ling Xiao stunned. I don't know what she meant.

She thought for a moment and replied carefully, "I don't know. I only know that the Empress has a deep relationship with the emperor, and the emperor esteems the Empress very much." When she said this, she stabbed in her heart.

After listening to this answer, Xie Guifei did not look happy. The smile on her original face faded and said coldly, "Yes, it was like this, but you."

Ling Xiao was shocked, a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "Your mother-in-law, I don't have the heart to compete with you, just..."

"Just what?" The noble concubine asked fiercely, "You don't have the heart to compete with me. You can't stand the emperor's favor, can you?"

"My concubine didn't mean it." Ling Xiao hurriedly knelt down, and the sweat on his forehead suddenly oozed out.

When other concubines not far away saw the scene here, they all looked over one after another, and many of them also showed expressions of watching the play.

"Let's get up quickly, so as not to let people see that I am bullied by pregnancy." The noble concubine "hummed" strangely.

"I've been with the emperor for so long that I'm pregnant." The noble concubine lowered her head and stroked her stomach, with a sad look in her eyes, and even claimed to have changed. "I thought the emperor would spoil me more, but he always went to your side. No, it should be more diligent on your side!"

The voice was very resentful, and Ling Xiao even felt a trace of guilt when she heard it. When a woman was pregnant with her husband's child, she was naturally full of joy and looking forward to her husband's love, but now...

Ling Xiao wanted to say something, but she knew that she was wrong now. The noble concubine had resentment in her heart. How could she stop if she didn't vent it well, so it was better for her not to say anything. Besides, what's wrong with her? She is just a little woman who is looking forward to love. The fault is that their husband is the same person.

"He knows that I have a dragon species now, so why do I treat you so well? Why do you still want to make you Wanyi?" The noble concubine became more and more excited and leaned towards Ling Xiao step by step.

At this time, Ling Xiao found that they had unconsciously come to the shore of the lake, and the uneasiness became more and more intense.

"Madam, it's dangerous by the lake. Let's go back to the pavilion." Seeing that the noble concubine was still walking this way, Ling Xiao became anxious, but before she finished speaking, the noble concubine turned sideways towards her. The angle of their standing was also relatively coincidental. Ling Xiao just blocked half of the figure of the noble concubine. In the eyes of the other concubines in the pavilion not far away, they could not see the noble concubine's movements at all.

At the moment of lightning, an idea flashed in Ling Xiao's mind that Xie Guifei actually wanted to fall into the lake by herself to frame her? Will it cost too much? Is she really worthy of Xie Guifei's fight? In Xie Guifei's heart, has her threat been so big? Is it so big that she is willing to take the risk of sacrificing the dragon seed?

No, today's things are strange. The noble concubine is not a person who is easy to show her emotions. How can she directly blame her like a sad little woman? This is so different from her usual! But now she didn't have time to think about it. Seeing that the noble concubine's body tended to fall into the lake, Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and wanted to pull her.

But she also knows that now I'm afraid that she can't escape the blame in any way she does. If she let the noble concubine fall into the lake, then it goes without saying that the charge of murdering the noble concubine is borne. Even if someone proves that she did not push it, she will not be saved. And if she goes to pull, if the noble concubine falls to the ground, there is something good or wrong...

Although she knew that once she stretched out her hand, she could not avoid suspicion and would put herself in danger, at this moment, she saw the noble concubine's not bulging stomach, and the speed of her hand was instinctively faster than her thinking.
