Chapter 170

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.

"Now there's nothing else to worry about," Xue ronghua held her shoulder. "All you have to do now is show yourself as a princess and a concubine and forget your identity as Xie Yingmei."

Luo Ninghai leaned down to massage Meng Qianzhong's shoulder and said with a low smile, "my concubine went to Huayang palace to say hello today and met sister Chen."

Meng Qianchong made a vague groan and leaned comfortably on her, "how about it? It's not bad."

"Sister Chen Fei is a lovely person," Luo Ninghai said jealous again. "No wonder the emperor likes her."

Meng Qianchong reached out to touch her cheek and said with a soft smile, "I don't like her. It's just that it hinders the appearance of the state of Qin. You are the heaviest in my heart. Otherwise, why don't I go to Zhaoyun Hall tonight."

Luo Ninghai's lips flashed a sweet smile, "my concubine knew that the emperor loved me most."

Meng Qian glanced at the back hall again. "How's jou Chia recently? I haven't held her well for a long time."

"Jou Chia is now learning to read and write with female officials," Luo Ninghai lowered her eyes. "This is the idea of my concubine. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"It's hard to forgive," Meng Qianzhong smiled with satisfaction. "The princess of Qi is so knowledgeable and polite. It's also an excellent thing. Let her learn, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she is older, you can send someone to teach her."

Luo Ninghai nodded happily and asked, "how's the game going in Yunhe pavilion?"

"He learns very fast, especially archery. Master said that with more practice, he can reach the level of walking through the Yang," Meng Qianzhong held her in his arms. "It can be seen that our children are very intelligent."

Luo Ninghai looked at him shyly, "does the emperor want his concubine to give birth to several children with wisdom for you?"

Meng Qianchong smiled, bowed his head and kissed her side face, "of course, I wish you had a nest."

Luo Ninghai gave a low laugh in her arms, "where can concubines have a nest?"

Meng Qianchong lifted her chin. "I'm quite satisfied that I can give birth to a pair of lively and clever children. If you go to Huayang Palace today, if the imperial concubine didn't give you a look."

Luo Ninghai was stunned and quickly lowered his head, "your imperial concubine, she..."

"I know," Meng Qianzhong sighed gently, "you don't have to go to Huayang palace to say hello in the future. Let her stay alone."

Luo Ninghai said eagerly, "but emperor, you haven't seen your sister for a long time."

"I don't want to go," Meng Qianchong lowered his eyes. "Whenever I see such a noble princess, I always feel unhappy. I'd better not go. She doesn't want to give me a good look."

Luo Ninghai pretended to be sad and said, "if your sister has no children under her knees, she is lonely in Huayang palace alone."

Meng Qianchong raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid she can't teach well when she has children because of her temperament."

Luo Ninghai is very happy. Su Rushuang is usually cold and lonely. Recently, he is less and less liked by the emperor.

"In a few days, Duan Wang from the state of Qin will go back. I'm going to have a banquet in the Yongning hall. Just take jou Chia and call concubine Chen. After all, it's her compatriot brother. If you're the imperial concubine, there's no need to invite her."

Luo Ninghai hid the smile on her lips, nodded and said, "my concubine understands." she suddenly said, "my concubine saw a birthmark like a Begonia flower at the end of her eye today. It's strange."

Meng Qianzhong nodded carelessly, "it's very strange. I seldom see anyone. I heard the imperial concubine say she met one when she was a child, but she died later."

Luo Ninghai flashed a strange look at the bottom of his eyes, "that imperial concubine Chen is the only person in the world who has that birthmark."

Xue ronghua woke up in the dark night. She looked at the stars in the night as if she were still in that dream. She dreamed that the situation when Chu Zongge returned to the palace had changed greatly. He died in the hands of other princes like the former crown prince and king of Jin.

Princess Fu gave birth to a princess or a prince, and Zhao Jieyu didn't know whether she would be pregnant later. Xue ronghua calmed down and lay back in bed, but he couldn't sleep.

She tossed and decided to get out of bed and go for a walk. The state of Qi seemed to have entered winter. The howling wind outside was cool and whizzing. It poured directly into her skirt, which made her tremble.

"Aunt ronghua?" she suddenly met Rosie at the corner of the courtyard.

"It's your aunt," Xue ronghua smiled, "aunt came out so late to relax?"

Rosie looked at her and said with a smile, "aunt, you are not the same."

"I had a nightmare at night. I woke up and couldn't sleep," Xue ronghua raised his eyebrows. "What happened to you?"

Rosie smiled softly, "I miss my family."

Xue ronghua looked at the faint melancholy between her eyebrows and eyes, speculated that her family should be no longer in the world, and comforted: "the days in the palace are only so few years, and my aunt will go through it."

"It's really hard. There's a brother waiting for me in my hometown." Rosie, who has always been calm and self-contained, blushed. "I must endure to the end."
