Chu Xin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He was not familiar with this place at all and had no idea which direction he should go.
I vaguely heard a sound in front of me, so I followed the sound and walked over step by step.
"God is above me! I wish to lose ten years of my life in exchange for a healthy body! I am willing to do everything! I wish to lose ten years of my life in exchange for a healthy body!"
A woman in plain clothes was kneeling under a peach tree to pray, with her long hair hanging behind her back. After speaking, she kowtowed vigorously on the ground.
As soon as Qiao Guiren heard the movement behind him, he quickly said the words he had prepared loudly. He had been kneeling for a long time and his knees were numb from the cold. He only hoped that His Majesty could be moved by the words he said.
After all, she didn't want to be overpowered by Ning Guiren. This feeling was too oppressive.
"I wonder who this empress is?"
Seeing that the person in front of her was kneeling on the ground, even though she was wearing plain clothes, but from what she just said, she could guess that she might be Yuan Heng's concubine, so she had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
"Who are you! How did you get here!"
As soon as he heard a woman's voice coming from behind, Noble Qiao immediately became angry. He turned around and saw that there was only a woman standing behind him, and there was no sign of His Majesty!
"Bold little maid! Why are you here!"
She has always been a spoiled child, and she was a much-loved rich lady at home. After entering the palace, she could not control her temper, so she was not loved by His Majesty.
I have tried many ways to win back His Majesty's heart, but there seems to be no way.
Today I accidentally heard that His Majesty wanted to come to the Plum Garden to see the plum blossoms, so I could only think of this way. No matter what, I just wanted to let His Majesty know my feelings.
When I heard a little movement behind me, I guessed that it was His Majesty, so I said what I had prepared. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, it was a lowly maid!
Where does this put your face?
What's more, looking at this slave who looks so ugly, I don't know what it is on his face, it's really an eyesore and disgusting!
Qiao Guiren immediately became angry, got up, held up the hem of his skirt, and hurriedly went over and slapped Chu Xin.
"This is the Plum Garden. This is where you, a slave, should come. What did you just hear?"
Qiao Guiren took a few deep breaths. What he just said was only meant for His Majesty to hear. It was really embarrassing for such a lowly slave to hear it.
What's going on? Isn't it that His Majesty wanted to come? But after waiting for a long time, His Majesty was not there. Could it be that His Majesty suddenly stopped coming again?
"It's my fault for disturbing your noble lady, please forgive me!"
Chu Xin didn't know what the status of the person in front of her was, and she could only call her a noble lady. Those words just now were indeed not what she should hear.
I don’t know where Ayun went or when she would be able to come over and feel that the person in front of her seemed very angry. Could it be that what happened tonight was a premeditation.
"You bitch!" Qiao Guiren still didn't feel relieved, so he took two or three steps forward and kicked Chu Xin.
"You should know what my temper is like in the palace. If you want to be safe, keep your mouth shut tonight! If you dare to spread even a word of what you saw and heard, You should have known what would happen!”
Qiao Guiren felt a little relieved, so he hurriedly left with the hem of his skirt. Forget about what happened today, he would always find an opportunity in the future!
But it's really unlucky, it seems that His Majesty doesn't like her temper no matter what she does.
Isn't it just that I'm a little irritable and likes to scold the palace people when I'm anxious? Isn't it a big sin?
Chu Xin sat paralyzed on the ground, feeling a dull pain in the area where her body had just been kicked. In fact, the result now was considered good.
If that noble man really wanted to do something, wouldn't he still have no ability to resist now?
But I always feel that today's events are very inexplicable. Although they don't seem to have any connection, the fusion of one thing after another is really weird.
It was obvious who the noble man was trying to please with what he said just now. When she turned around and saw that the person behind her was her, her expression immediately changed, indicating that she thought the person coming to Meiyuan tonight would be Yuan Heng.
After wiping the face that had just been beaten, it actually didn't matter anymore. After lying in bed for more than half a year and suffering physical pain, these small fights were nothing at all.
I stood up tremblingly and looked at the moon in the sky. The moonlight was so bright that I could barely identify the direction by swiping it down.
Just as he stood up holding on to the tree trunk and wanted to rest for a while, he heard footsteps behind him again, and turned around to see it was Ayun.
"Why did sister come here? I was looking for it for a long time after I went back, and I just heard something moving here. Is sister the only one here?"
Ayun held a few plum blossoms in bloom. When she walked over, she looked around. Didn't she hear some sounds just now?
The voice doesn't seem to be my sister's. Is there a third person here?
"There was a noble lady in plain clothes praying here just now. Maybe I felt that I was offended by coming here, so I left. The voice you heard should be hers."
Chu Xin only briefly told what had just happened. In fact, the slap and the kick were not heavy at all. How strong can a frail woman be?
"Which noble lady is still in the Plum Garden so late? Sister, can you tell me what she looks like?"
Ah Yun was even more curious. She specifically chose to come here so late to avoid running into anyone, but she didn't expect that there would be people here at such a late hour. What was going on with all this?
"The noble lady was dressed in plain clothes and didn't wear any jewelry. I couldn't tell what her rank was. I only saw a black mole on the edge of her eyebrow. Her temperament was a little willful and arrogant."
Chu Xin carefully recalled the appearance of the noble man below. He also looked beautiful.
There is indeed a black mole on the left eyebrow, and her temperament cannot be described clearly with just one word of pampering, but she does seem somewhat similar to Chu Yi.
"A mole on the edge of your eyebrow? Do you have a pampered temper?"
After Ayun got these two conditions, she thought about it carefully and realized that there were not many concubines in the harem at all. It was just those few. Apart from the most favored Ning Guiren, which other concubine was like this? ?
"Is it possible that you are talking about Guiren Qiao?" Ayun suddenly remembered something at this time.
"My temperament is the most indulgent, and it is precisely because of this that I am disliked by His Majesty the most. What Your Majesty likes is a gentle and dignified woman like Ning Guiren.
Someone like her who is so arrogant and domineering and often reprimands the palace people will definitely not be in His Majesty's eyes. Could it be that she came here today to do something with the plum blossoms in the plum garden? "
As Ayun spoke, she shook the plum blossoms she had just picked in her hand, with a rather mocking look on her face. It was obvious that she did not like Qiao Guiren.
"Looking at the way you acted just now, do you dislike her very much?"
Chu Xin and Ayun walked side by side, preparing to go back and chatting and laughing along the way.
It turns out that the woman she just met is Qiao Guiren. It turns out that she didn't like Yuan Heng, so she said such words to please Yuan Heng.
"Sister, I really don't know. In the beginning, His Majesty treated all the concubines equally, but after getting along for a long time, some of the concubines were gentle while others were arrogant and domineering. After this comparison, Your Majesty will naturally become more... I like the gentle one.”
As Ayun talked, she recalled what she had seen in the palace. At that time, she was still younger and she only knew a little bit about many things.
"It is said that jealousy often occurs in the harem. One time when Qiao Guiren and Ning Guiren met, they didn't know what they said. They didn't know what they said, and they pushed Ning Guiren into the lotus pond.
This actually made Ning Guiren suffer a lot. It was also because of this incident that His Majesty completely ignored Qiao Guiren. From then on, only Ning Guiren was always with His Majesty, and the others became unknown. "
While talking about Ning Guiren, he sighed helplessly and shook his head. He didn't expect that there were so few people in His Majesty's harem, yet such inexplicable things could happen.
It’s hard to imagine what kind of trouble would be caused if the harems of some emperors were filled with concubines!
"I understand what you said. It seems that Gui Qiao's temperament is indeed unpleasant. He is so irritable and impulsive. It can be seen that His Majesty likes quiet and gentle women.
If Qiao Guiren wants to compete for favor, he might as well change his temper. Maybe this is somewhat possible! "
The place where she was kicked just now was still aching, and Chu Xin could only sigh secretly. It was her unlucky day that she happened to intrude into the moment when others were acting.
It seems that the harem is a harem after all. Even if a few people can really fight, they just say that Ning Guiren is good, but they always feel that they are not that good.
It can only be seen that Qiao Guiren must not be able to defeat Ning Guiren. There may be some inside story about pushing him into the lotus pond.
After returning home, Ayun even found a vase to put the plum blossoms in and put them in Chu Xin's room. She looked really happy today.
"I hope these plum blossoms can make my sister happy and make my hard work tonight worthwhile!"
Ayun laughed while talking, she was really very satisfied with her work.
"You worked hard tonight, thank you for everything you did for me."
Chu Xin hurriedly sat down as soon as she came back. This was the first time she had walked so much out of the medicine garden, and it was considered a good exercise.
Looking at Ayun jumping away and looking at the vase on the table, there was actually something to gain tonight, right?
Let her know that she is not a disabled person and can walk such a long way.
In fact, it doesn't matter if her leg is broken, because she can still get up and walk, and what does it matter if her face is injured? She is not a beautiful woman who will dominate the country.
As long as this life is still there, as long as I can survive.
"Your Majesty's guess is indeed correct. The person who went to stare at him came back to report that Qiao Guiren did leave Meiyuan in a hurry. It seems that he probably ran into him. According to Qiao Guiren's temperament, the person he met must be punished. Some sins!"
Jinxiu laughed as she talked. It seemed that her master was indeed very powerful. He was more than enough to deal with that noble Qiao. He was the same in the past, but he is not the same now?
"Her temper is the best chess piece. There are many things that I can't do easily, but she is different. Whether this matter spreads or not, just treat it like a show!"
It was already late at night, and Ning Guiren was lying on the warm bed, still not feeling sleepy.
When I thought that those two stinky girls might have been beaten and scolded by Qiao Guiren, I felt very comfortable.
The most stupid thing about Qiao Guiren is that he can't control his hands and mouth. Even if he doesn't do anything, he still makes people dislike him.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what kind of woman His Majesty likes, but she just can't change her temper, so it's natural that she has been left out in the cold for so long.
After being left out for a long time, people will become more and more stupid. They always want to find some way and want to try it. She just casually released some news, and she was fooled!
It can only be said that there is no hope of being stupid. According to her temperament, she is not suitable to survive in the harem. She is only suitable to be plotted and used like a chess piece!
"What you are saying is that Qiao Guiren is no match for you at all!"
Jinxiu smiled and said, isn't that what the quarrels in the harem are all about?
What's more, there are so few people in the harem, and Gui Qiao is the least popular because she is stupid and can't control her temper.
His temper explodes at the slightest moment. Such a person is really disgusting. If he could be tricked by his master once in the past, he will naturally be tricked a second time as well!
