Chapter 170 (1/2)
Xie Yingmei has sobered up in fear and worry. Listening to the singing and harmony of the two concubines, she knows that this is the drama of the harem again. She just sits quietly aside. I dare not talk.
Luo Ninghai has no intention of entanglement with Su Rushuang in words. Just smiled and looked at imperial concubine Chen. ”Sister Chen Fei, are you still used to the food here when you came from the state of Qin to the state of Qi?”
Xie Yingmei was stunned. Quickly nodded, ”adapt.”
”If you don't fit in, just tell my concubine.” Luo Ninghai smiled enthusiastically.
”Yes.” Su Rushuang squinted at the imperial concubine Chen and deliberately lengthened his tone. ”Although concubine Wan is not as high as us, the Emperor gave her the Phoenix seal. Naturally, she is the master of major affairs.”
Luo Ninghai bit his lip. He bowed his head and said, ”it's just to share the worries for the two sisters. I don't dare to think I have made great achievements.”
”Sister Wan Fei is an elder for me,” Xie Yingmei quickly flattered. ”I have to consult my sister about many things in the future.”
Luo Ninghai blinked and smiled gently at her.
Su Rushuang rolled her eyes in her heart. He said impatiently, ”I've said these words. Go back. My palace is tired.”
Luo Ninghai glanced at the lime and asked her to lift herself up. I think the play in Huayang palace is finally finished. I don't have to smile at Su Rushuang's face anymore.
Xue ronghua came back from Chu Zongge in the afternoon. As soon as she entered Zhaoyun hall, she saw xuanxiao whispering something to Xie Yingmei. I think today should be the day to see imperial concubine Wan and imperial concubine Ru. There should be something unexpected.
”What?” Xue ronghua opened his eyes in disbelief. ”Do you know Su Rushuang and Luo Ninghai?”
Xie Yingmei showed innocent eyes and nodded, ”I saw them when I was a child.”
Xue ronghua stared at her special Begonia birthmark and panicked. ”Since you know them, you should know that they can recognize you according to your birthmark.”
Xie Yingmei said eagerly, ”I didn't think of it before. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine and imperial concubine Wan were both of them.”
”Why are you so reckless? Didn't you think of it before you replaced xuanxiao?” Xue ronghua was mad at her.
Xuanxiao said softly, ”don't be angry first. If the imperial concubine doesn't seem to see that she is general Xie's daughter.”
Xue ronghua bit her lip and looked at Xie Yingmei. ”Did Princess wan see it?”
Xie Yingmei was stunned and hesitated: ”there should be no...”
”Should?” Xue ronghua couldn't help raising his voice. ”Luo Ninghai is the daughter of general Luo. She will kill the whole people in Zhaoyun hall.”
”No,” Xie Yingmei shook her head again and again. ”I don't know if Princess Wan doubted my identity, but she didn't say anything.”
Xue ronghua looked at her childish eyes and said with a sneer, ”does she want to expose your identity in front of you and Su Rushuang? You are already imperial concubine Chen now. She naturally regards you as an enemy in her heart and doesn't want to find any chance to control you.”
”But Princess Wan looks very close and friendly,” retorted Xie Yingmei. ”She wouldn't do anything like that.”
”You must not have such illusions. Things are unpredictable.” Xue ronghua's eyes darkened and his lips closed into a line.
Xie Yingmei was ashamed and worried in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, ”if Princess Wan pointed out that I was general Xie's daughter, I would never admit it.”
”It's no use denying it. She can let the emperor put you in the cold palace in a few words. You think it's so easy to provoke a character who can give birth to a pair of children under Su Rushuang's eyes,” Xue ronghua took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. ”Forget it, are you sure Su Rushuang doesn't doubt your identity?”
Xie Yingmei shook her head firmly. ”Her eyes swept away and didn't look at me at all.”
”Well,” Xue ronghua still put the dessert, ”if she has doubts about you, she will naturally take words to test you. Now what she should guard against is Princess Wan.”
Xuanxiao suddenly reminded him, ”since you saw concubine Wan and imperial concubine when you were a child, have you seen the emperor?”
”Absolutely not. The emperor has never seen me.”
”The emperor doesn't know the existence you brought is the best. It would be difficult if it was his suspicion,” Xue ronghua thought. ”Next, you should reduce the communication with Princess Wan, be careful when talking to her, pay attention to whether there are words in her words, and don't be held by her.”
Xuanxiao glanced at her gently. ”The prospective Princess seems to be very familiar with the emperor and his concubines.”
Xie Yingmei was stunned and looked in her direction, ”you seem to be worried about my identity being exposed.”
Xue ronghua's heart is surging, and on the surface, it's still calm, ”Don't doubt the people in your palace. The reason why I know so much about them is that I made enough efforts after entering the palace. I didn't go in like you. I'm worried that your identity will be exposed because I don't want to die in a foreign land so young. I have to hold on until the day I return to the state of Qin.” she paused and said in a very serious tone, ”Return to the state of Qin and marry Duan Wang.”
Xuanxiao and Xie Yingmei looked at her in a daze and said in one voice, ”then why do you want to stay in the state of Qi?”
Xue ronghua stood up calmly, ”because Duan Wang wants to go back to the state of Qin to do a big thing, I don't want to go back to hinder her, so I stayed in the state of Qi.”
Xie Yingmei paused for a long time and nodded again.
