Chapter 172 173: Song Zhaoyi Tai Hu Shi
"It's hard to say." Song Yunzhao shook his head, "It depends on the progress of Yan Gongzheng's side, and it's not good for me to keep an eye on it here, so as not to be talked about by Concubine Zhuang."
Speaking of this, Song Yunzhao looked at Lu Zhixue, "If you really want to know, you can go to Cuiwei Palace and ask Empress Concubine Shu for advice."
Lu Zhixue gave up directly, "That's still not necessary."
Song Yunzhao was delighted when he heard the words, Lu Zhixue's awkward temperament, meeting Shu Fei's straightforwardness, the scene is indeed a bit uncomfortable to watch.
Lu Zhixue didn't know that Yun Zhao deliberately used Concubine Shu to tease her. She was still a little worried about it, so she got up and said, "I'll go to Feng Yunjin to ask."
Song Yunzhao:…
That is, Feng Yunjin has a good temper.
Lu Zhixue really went directly to Feng Yunjin's place when she came out of Wangyou Palace, but unexpectedly, she met Qin Xiyue.
As soon as Lu Zhixue saw Qin Xiyue, her expression immediately dropped.
Qin Xiyue saw that the smile on Lu Zhixue's face didn't change at all, but said in the same tone as before: "Concubine Lu is here too, today is a coincidence."
Lu Zhixue really wanted to say something sarcastic, but thinking about her current status, she was not as good as Qin Xiyue. If she fell out, she would be the one who would suffer. Now that she has bumped into a wall a few times, she also knows that when it is time to take a step back, she has to retreat. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
Song Yunzhao's temper would have to be hypocrisy when meeting Concubine Zhuang, so that's fine with her.
Turning around and thinking again, what is Qin Xiyue doing here with Feng Yunjin?
Feng Yunjin has such a temper that he doesn't know how to reject people, so don't be tricked by Qin Xiyue. Thinking of this, Lu Zhixue's desire to leave faded away. He sat down, looked at Qin Xiyue and said calmly, "It's a coincidence. I didn't expect to see Qin Wanyi here. I heard that Qin Wanyi has been helping Concubine Zhuang to arrange the girl's birthday banquet. Why didn't you go today?"
Listening to the sarcasm in Lu Zhixue's words, Qin Xiyue smiled without changing her face: "I can't help, but I can't refuse if Zhuang Concubine asks me to come over."
Lu Zhixue would have believed it before, but this time she didn't believe a word.
"Really? It's really strange that Qin Wanyi can wrong herself like this."
Qin Xiyue smiled slightly, and soon returned to normal. She looked at Feng Yunjin and continued what she said before, "Feng Xiaoyuan, please think about my proposal. This is not a matter of one person. Everyone is in the same house, so it's hard to face it."
Feng Yunjin smiled and said, "Then let me think about it."
Qin Xiyue didn't want to hear Lu Zhixue's yin and yang weirdness here, so she got up and said goodbye.
After sending the person away, Lu Zhixue looked at Feng Yunjin and asked, "What is she doing here? Could it be to inquire about Yingchun?"
Feng Yunjin shook her head, "She didn't mention anything about Yingchun, and she didn't come here for it."
Lu Zhixue's expression was very ugly, "Don't be fooled by her, you see how badly I was hurt by her before. She didn't ask you about Yingchun, and she probably knows that you can't ask anything based on your friendship with Han Jinyi."
Feng Yunjin smiled and said, "What Concubine Lu said is true, and I think so too."
Lu Zhixue's expression eased, she looked at Feng Yunjin and said, "It doesn't matter if I have a small belly or a villainous heart, Qin Xiyue is not a good person with me anyway. Besides, although she didn't get involved too much in Liuhua Palace last time, she stood by An Fangyi's every word and every word."
"I thought so too, let's go somewhere." Feng Yunjin poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhixue herself, and looked up at her with a smile, "Is there something for Concubine Lu to come over this time?"
Feng Yunjin shook her head, "What is it?"
"You are always well informed, but this time you don't know?" Lu Zhixue looked at Feng Yunjin in surprise.
Feng Yunjin sighed, "People have been watching closely for the past two days."
"Qin Xiyue?"
Feng Yunjin looked helpless, "It's still about Miss An's birthday party."
"She came to invite you to participate?" Lu Zhixue immediately understood, and asked unhappily.
Feng Yunjin nodded, "Yes."
Lu Zhixue frowned. No wonder Qin Xiyue asked her to think about it before. It was rare for her not to scold people directly. After thinking about it, she said: "Your status is low, and you can't offend her. You should go."
Feng Yunjin looked at Lu Zhixue in surprise.
Lu Zhixue felt a little uncomfortable on her face, "What do you think I am doing? I am not stupid. I know that even if some things in this palace are not allowed, I have to hold my nose."
Feng Yunjin laughed softly: "If Mrs. Lu heard what Concubine Lu said, she would really feel at ease."
Lu Zhixue thought that might not be the case, I'm afraid her mother would still urge her to compete for favor.
I don’t even think about Song Yunzhao’s posture of protecting food, can she beat it?
Besides, the emperor doesn't like her, she is also a person who wants face, so she doesn't want to be ashamed in front of the emperor.
As long as the emperor is willing to look at her more and think about her, she is willing to fight, even if she can't compete with Song Yunzhao, she can still fight her.
But the emperor didn't even look at her, so what's the point? It's more interesting to communicate with Song Yunzhao.
Lu Zhixue didn't want to blame her in front of Feng Yunjin, so she changed the subject and said, "Qin Xiyue came to persuade you, but you can also persuade others. I think she would be very comfortable being a dog's leg for Concubine Zhuang."
It's not easy for Concubine Zhuang to do this kind of thing with a low face, but Qin Xiyue really has the courage to do so.
Thinking about how different Qin Xiyue was now from outside the palace, and looking at Song Yunzhao's unlovable appearance, it has not changed much from before.
It depends on people, it really can't just look at the surface.
She suffered a great loss because of this.
Fortunately, Feng Yunjin had someone guard the door, and said to Lu Zhixue, "Be careful what you say outside."
"I know, I just want to tell you." Lu Zhixue curled her lips and said, "What do you think Concubine Zhuang is planning for Miss An's birthday banquet with such a big fanfare? She is an unmarried girl, so it is not a good thing to stay in the palace all this time."
Feng Yunjin heard the meaning of Lu Zhixue's words, and said after thinking: "The empress dowager will not return to the palace for a long time, Miss An has been with the empress dowager in the palace for a long time, and sometimes she cannot be separated from her for a while."
Lu Zhixue sneered, "You're right, she better have no other ideas, otherwise Song Zhaoyi is not easy to provoke."
Feng Yunjin shook her head, "I don't think Song Zhaoyi will care about Miss An's future plans."
"How is this possible?" With Song Yunzhao's domineering appearance as a food protector, even a dancer could make her fall into trouble. If the empress dowager's niece becomes the emperor's concubine, it will be bad for her anyway. Can she let it go?
