During the dinner, Liu Zhang kept putting vegetables into her bowl, as if to make up for his mistake last night - if he didn't care, Xia Tong would probably be the target of a thousand people.

Xia Tong swallowed the meat buns in two mouthfuls angrily, as if they were meat from the person opposite him.

Liu Zhang:......

You obviously didn't do anything last night, but why do you feel better about your appetite?

He couldn't help but asked with concern: "How will the Queen Mother punish you? Is there anything else besides copying scriptures?"

Xia Tong originally wanted to exaggerate her own danger to make the emperor feel guilty, but she was not used to lying, so in the end she had to tell the truth, "The Queen Mother treated me very well, and even rewarded me with snacks and tea!"

Liu Zhang looked like "I'll just watch you show off quietly", clearly not believing him.

Xia Tong: "..."

What kind of hatred do these mother and son have? It seemed as if she would be blown into ashes if she squeezed in.

Forget it, it's none of her business anyway. She is a tenant farmer, so why should she worry about the landlord who has good food and clothing.

Xia Tong had a delicious breakfast, and then went to Linzhi Palace to pay his respects as usual.

As soon as she entered, she felt an obvious low pressure. Apparently, the news that the emperor broke into Ningshou Palace at night to demand people had spread widely.

When he leaned over to salute, Xia Tong clearly heard a contemptuous "monster" coming from the corner.

She scratched her ears and didn't know what to do.

To be honest, if you're not pretty enough, you can't be a monster, so this should be considered a compliment.

Seeing her arrogant look, Jiang Bilan was not at all ashamed of her actions. She became even more angry and scolded: "Ms. Xia, do you know your guilt?"

Feng Yuzhen was still holding the tea cup beside Jiang Bilan. This time she was not as humble and humble as before, but instead had a hint of gloating - she felt relieved when she saw Xia Tong's misfortune.

Xia Tong maintained a half-squatting posture and said calmly: "Please make it clear, I don't know where I went wrong."

Look, it's like no one else. Jiang Bilan was shocked by this woman's shamelessness, but if she was asked to tell her that the emperor went to Xia Tong in the middle of the night for pleasure, Jiang Bilan couldn't say it out loud - she was a respectable person, how could she say such a thing?

Can it come out of her mouth?

Jiang Bilan had no choice but to use more euphemistic words, "You bewitched His Majesty and made the Queen Mother angry. Isn't this a big crime?"

Feng Yuzhen held the fire next to her and said, "My dear concubine, if she had known, she would not have followed your majesty. Even if your majesty was confused for a moment, she did not know how to persuade her. This shows that the Xia family's family tradition is nothing more than this."

Jiang Yingyue, who was on the right, couldn't help but look at her twice. After not seeing her for a few days, Feng Yuzhen actually became more articulate and polite. It seemed that she was really impressed after three days of separation.

The other concubines who were sitting upright looked like gourds with their mouths sawed off. What did it have to do with Concubine Jiang to attack Meiren Xia? Not to mention that Xia Tong was in the wrong first, and no one else could say anything. What's more, among them,

Many people have long disliked Xia Tong.

Xia Tong, however, still looked magnanimous. Faced with Feng Yuzhen's questioning, she said strangely: "What my sister said is so unusual. Your Majesty heard that the Queen Mother was ill, so she went to visit her late at night. Is there anything wrong with that? As for the Queen Mother being angry, then

Naturally, it’s because Your Majesty doesn’t care about your body, so what if it delays the government affairs?”

"You..." Feng Yuzhen didn't expect that Xia Tong's ability to confuse right and wrong was so profound, but she was speechless.

Xia Tong faced Jiang Bilan with a smile again, "My dear concubine, do you think so?"

Jiang Yingyue on the side almost screamed, she had already seen that this Xia was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and lo and behold, in a few words, she got rid of the situation, not only clearing herself, but also saving the face of the emperor and the queen mother-compared to the concubine.

As a disobedient mother, if this kind of scandal spreads out to make a joke, Xia Tong's words are naturally more appropriate.

Jiang Bilan's face was as cold as ice, but she was unable to refute, she only felt short of breath.

Feng Yuzhen refused to admit defeat and asked, "Then why did you leave with His Majesty? The Queen Mother is ill, shouldn't you stay to serve the Queen Mother?"

Xia Tong smiled sweetly, "Of course it's what the Queen Mother meant! Worried that Your Majesty would have no one to take care of her, she sent me to help her change clothes. Besides, there are Wang Xuan attendants in Ningshou Palace, so the Queen Mother will naturally feel more at ease with her."

Feng Yuzhen was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Why did this person say all the good and bad?

Jiang Bilan was afraid of further embarrassment, so she quickly stopped and said: "Okay, stop arguing!"

Then he stared at Xia Tong sternly, "Since the situation is excusable, I won't argue with you for the time being. But if there is a next time, Miss Xia, you'd better not make your own decisions and go back to me first."

Xia Tong naturally responded respectfully.

The other concubines could not help but be speechless. Linzhi Palace had not been so lively for a long time. It seemed that the imperial concubine had really met her enemy.

Xia Tong didn't mean to go against Jiang Bilan. She only wanted to live a comfortable life, but Jiang Bilan came to trouble her several times, so she had no choice but to take advantage of him - even if she was a salty fish, even if her strength was mediocre, she could kill him.

People were rushed to death.

The matter in Ningshou Palace has come to an end, and Xia Tong's words have become the official statement. Although the Empress Dowager Jiang was angry, her face was more important than her son's unfilial piety, so she temporarily acquiesced to Xia Tong's words.

She also ordered someone to send Xia Tong a string of Gannan incense beads that had been blessed in front of the Buddha, as a commendation for her proper service.

Only Li Mi's eyes gradually changed when she looked at Xia Tong. She originally thought that the emperor just treated Xia Tong as a plaything and had no interest at all - what was the relationship between Cheng Yao and Cheng Yao?

But who would have thought that the emperor actually broke into Ningshou Palace at night for her and did not hesitate to offend the Queen Mother. This cannot be explained by simple profanity - it is impossible to pull her back and beat her up.

Did the emperor really have feelings for Xia Tong? Li Mi seemed to have a thin thorn in her heart, which made her breathless. She was not afraid that Xia Tong would live well, but she just didn't want her to live better than herself.

This is too unbearable.

Most girls are sensitive. Although Xia Tong is usually upright, he still quietly realizes that there is something strange about Li Mi. As the emperor favors her more and more, the number of such people will only increase.

She wasn't too worried. Xia Tong didn't regard Li Mi as a close friend, so she wouldn't trust him lightly. Besides, the new palace was being renovated and she would move to Guanju Palace soon, so it would be difficult for Li Mi to find trouble.

.

Hearing that it was Xia Tong who asked for permission to move to Roufu Palace, Wang Jingyi was touched. She rushed over to express her gratitude, "It's my sister who is thinking of me and knows that I am in a difficult situation..."

While wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Xu Xu told her past misfortunes.

Her words may be true, but the tears may not be true. Xia Tong smiled and said: "This is not a big deal. Anyway, I am about to move the palace. The west side hall happens to be vacant. Li Cairen is also a lively person. You go

She must be happy."

Of course, this is just a joke. Li Mi's temperament treats everyone as a competitor. Unless Wang Jingyi swears that she will never be favored for the rest of her life, there will be open and covert fights.

Fortunately, Wang Jingyi's focus is not on making friends, but on changing to a more spacious place to live. Now she is very satisfied with this situation.

In order to show her gratitude, she hurriedly said: "Sister, I have said a lot of nice things to you from the Queen Mother. Sister, you don't know something. After you left that night, the Queen Mother was very angry...

…”

"Excuse me for your trouble." Xia Tong nodded with a smile and took out a stack of scriptures from his sleeve, "Please pass this to the Queen Mother for me."

When Wang Jingyi opened it, she saw that it was full of densely packed scriptures, and the fonts were copied in extra large sizes, obviously to make it easier for the elderly to read.

She sincerely praised: "I didn't expect that my sister is so pious and has not forgotten the Queen Mother's instructions."

Xia Tong doesn't always keep her promises, but she has a habit. Once she starts something, she must finish it to the end - just like you have to eat the food you like, otherwise it will be just a perfect piece of cake with only a few flaws.

.

She didn't expect that a few volumes of scriptures could please the Empress Dowager - of course, it would be best if Empress Dowager Chiang could change her attitude towards her, and if not, at least not arouse the old man's anger even more.

Wang Jingyi nodded, "Don't worry, sister, I will personally hand it over to the Queen Mother."

In fact, Xia Tong could have left this matter to others, such as An Ruhai or Nanny Chang. The reason why it was given to her was naturally because she was a close confidant of the Queen Mother, hoping to repair the relationship between the Queen Mother and Her Majesty.

Wang Jingyi knows the importance.

Xia Tong yawned, "I'm very tired right now, so I won't let you sit still for a long time."

After that, Chunlan asked Chunlan to make the bed and prepare to lie down on the couch.

Wang Jingyi asked with concern, "Sister, are you always tired lately?"

Xia Tong said in a daze: "Maybe it's because I've copied too many scriptures in the past few days."

After that, he went to lie down on the couch.

Wang Jingyi looked at her sleepy appearance, but she was thoughtful. Fatigue and lethargy were all symptoms of early pregnancy. But how long had Xia Tong been in love, how could she be pregnant with a baby?

When his eyes moved down and saw her clearly defined breast line, the vague guess in Wang Jingyi's mind gradually became a reality.

She said in disbelief: "Sister, have you drank the soothing tea I gave to His Majesty?"

Xia Tong mumbled in a dreamy voice, closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

Wang Jingyi stood up in a hurry, her heart was filled with turmoil. How could she forget that the spiritual spring water had the effect of assisting pregnancy.

Xia accidentally drank her tea, could it be possible that she had it?
