Chapter 435 Chapter 436: Qin Xiyue secretly meets with people
Who wouldn’t be angry about this?
It has been several years, but the emperor still only has one concubine in his eyes.
They had learned a lot today. Concubine Ming's eyes were all on the eldest prince, and she didn't make any effort towards the emperor. However, the emperor just kept staring at Concubine Ming and her son.
This is the benefit of having a son by your side.
I have to say that everyone is sour.
Wang Zhaorong asked Feng Yunjin to go with Han Jinyi and Lu Zhixue, so as not to look at the sour faces of others. He has no ability, and there is no point in being jealous of others. At this time when you are sour, you should stick to the emperor's side.
Those who don’t have the guts can just talk behind their backs.
Concubine Shu ignored these trivial matters. Concubine Wan's body was suffering from summer pain, so she went directly to the place where she lived to recuperate without coming to Changshengyuan.
As soon as Wang Zhaorong and others left, the remaining people dispersed and went back to their respective courtyards. Jincuiyuan and the others came to escape the summer heat for the first time, and this was also the first time they lived here except for the draft.
In comparison, An Shutong stayed here with the Queen Mother last time. She took Qin Xiyue to Pingyun Pavilion. Pingyun Pavilion is not far from Changshengyuan. There are three palaces in front and back. It is spacious and has an excellent view of red flowers and green willows. As soon as you enter, you will feel a sense of coolness. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.
Qin Xiyue lived in the main hall according to his position, and An Shutong lived in the side hall. The two of them greeted each other and went back to their respective halls to clean up and rest.
The smile on An Shutong's face dropped as she entered the hall, and she said to Mu Qing and Yingxue: "You guys should pay close attention to people. No matter what you do there, you must not make any omissions. And you should do things more carefully, don't The clues were discovered over there.”
The two of them responded cautiously, and Mu Qing said: "Master, everything at Qin Wanyi's side has been normal these days, do you still need to keep an eye on it?"
An Shutong looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing’s face froze and she didn’t dare to say anything else.
Yingxue took a look and hurriedly handed a step to the side, "Mu Qing, Qin Wanyi is not a simple person. It seems that there are many ups and downs in this palace, but she has been able to get out of trouble several times. Your position has not been lost. Wang Zhaorong was once Zhuang Concubine, so it makes sense for the master to ask you to be more cautious."
Mu Qing hurriedly said: "This slave is short-sighted. Please forgive me, Master."
An Shutong was a little tired, "You guys should go down too. I'll rest for a while. If the Queen Mother calls me, you can report back."
"yes."
After the others retreated, An Shutong leaned on the soft pillow and breathed a long sigh of relief, closing his eyes very tiredly.
She didn’t want to stare at Qin Xiyue, but recently she found that many things Ming Concubine did were a bit weird, so she asked the abbot of Huangjue Temple to perform rituals. Although she had no evidence, she always felt that she was targeting someone.
During this period, only Qin Xiyue, the concubine in the harem, had some contact with the monks there. It was not that she was careless, but she heard some rumors, and Concubine Ming seemed to be investigating the matter.
Although she couldn't confirm whether it was true or false, she would rather treat it as true.
If it hadn't been for Qin Xiyue's handwriting, he would have been placed directly in the palace by the Queen Mother, and he wouldn't have been given a small title. With such a position that was neither high nor low, life would have been really uncomfortable.
It was a pity that the Queen Mother wanted to use Qin Xiyue, so she had to make compromises with her, but she always remembered the debt.
She will get it back one day. Anyway, she felt that Concubine Ming was very different from Qin Xiyue to others, and she was more afraid of Qin Xiyue than anyone else.
Especially this time, she had a feeling that there must be something going on in the palace, but she couldn't feel the trace yet, but she could feel that Concubine Ming's attitude towards Qin Xiyue had changed recently.
Can she be careless?
She cannot make the same mistake again and let Qin Xiyue scheme against her again and step on her glory.
The more she thought about it, the more An Shutong couldn't sleep. She simply sat up and thought carefully. If she had a useful natal family, it would be difficult for her to know the news outside the palace.
The more An Shutong thought about it, the more upset she became. She simply got up and closed the curtains and walked out. It was quiet outside the corridor. Mu Qing and Yingxue were busy somewhere. She waved her hand to prevent the little palace maid from following her, and followed Pingyun. I walked slowly along the corridor of the pavilion.
Jin Cuiyuan was built along the mountain. The roads are also rugged and unique. You can see the scenery step by step along the tree-lined path. When you look back and look at the rugged mountain road and unable to see where you came from, An Shutong doesn't know where he has gone.
She simply found a quiet place and sat down on a stone on the side of the road to rest. From the gap between the trees here, she could vaguely see Pingyun Pavilion. She was about to look away when her expression suddenly turned cold. She stood up and reached out to push the branches aside. She saw Qin Xiyue in the distance. He was talking to someone, but unfortunately the figure was obscured by trees, so he couldn't tell who it was.
The distance was a bit far, and An Shutong couldn't hear what they were saying. After a while, Qin Xiyue said goodbye to that person. An Shutong didn't move when he saw a woman in palace clothes carrying a She left in a hurry.
Looking at that figure from the back, he couldn't match the palace attendants around Qin Xiyue. The two of them lived in the same palace and were very familiar with the people around each other. Even if they couldn't see their faces, they could recognize them just by looking at their backs.
But this man’s back is very strange.
An Shutong's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly and quietly let go of her hand. She saw Qin Xiyue raising her head and looking around, obviously not wanting anyone to know about it.
She raised her feet to avoid hiding her figure. Through the hidden gap, she watched Qin Xiyue leave. Looking at the direction she was walking, she should be heading to Pingyun Pavilion.
An Shutong didn't stay any longer. She immediately walked back along the way she came. Her steps were hurried, and she even took the wrong road at a fork in the road. She took a short detour before returning to Pingyun Pavilion.
When she went back, she saw Qin Xiyue sitting under the flower tree drinking tea, looking comfortable and smiling. Those who didn't know thought she had been sitting here all the time. Who knew she had even gone out.
"Is An Xiaoyi going out?" Qin Xiyue asked in surprise.
An Shutong nodded calmly, "The room was a little stuffy, so I went out for a walk. Who knew I got lost and walked around in a big circle before I came back."
“Sit down and have a cup of tea?” Qin Xiyue said with a smile.
An Shutong did not refuse and walked over with a smile, "Then I won't bother Qin Wanyi."
Qin Xiyue smiled and asked someone to bring another cup, poured tea for An Shutong with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the last time I came back to Jincuiyuan was when I was drafting, but at that time I was only in Zhichun Palace and Qiushui Pavilion. I don’t dare to walk around in other places easily. There are many roads in this garden and it’s really easy to get lost if you’re not careful.”
An Shutong looked at Qin Xiyue, and there was nothing strange in her expression. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, who would have thought that she had gone out to meet someone just now.
This ability is not even matched by her.
