Chapter 270 Ruyi 67
After changing his clothes, Sanbao did not go out directly to look for the person who was following Suo Xin.
Instead, he waited until everyone had gone to bed at night and confirmed that there was no one in the yard before he carefully left the room and walked towards the Wu room at the back.
He thought he was being careful, but what he didn't realize was that behind him, Su Xin had caught up with him without him noticing.
惢心 had already gone to bed tonight, but she was suddenly awakened from her sleep just now. She felt extremely thirsty, so she got up and looked for some water to drink.
Unexpectedly, when she came to the window to pour water, she saw Sanbao sneaking towards the backyard.
If it were in the past, Suo Xin would definitely pretend not to see it. After all, less trouble is worse than more, and the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
But today she didn't know what happened, and she went out and followed Sanbao for no apparent reason.
It was as if there was a very strange feeling about Sanbao today that attracted her.
The two of them came one after the other to the room where the young eunuchs slept at the back. Suo Xin found a place that was close but not easy to hide in, then looked up carefully.
Sanbao first imitated a few bird calls, and soon a little eunuch came out from Wufang. Although she had met him several times before, she had not paid much attention to him.
惢心 turned her head and listened carefully, but she didn't expect that the more she listened, the more frightened she became.
By the time she got back to her room and came to her senses, Suo Xin realized that her inner clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Although she knew that the concubine might not believe her, and she had wondered whether the concubine would send someone to follow her, thinking this way and finding out that this matter was confirmed were two completely different concepts.
Fortunately, fortunately she told the truth about her conversation with Li Yu this afternoon.
Otherwise, Suo Xin shuddered, she didn’t dare to think about it anymore, it seemed that she had to be more careful next time.
After discovering this,惢心 was horrified and didn't sleep much all night.
When she went to serve Qingying the next day, Qingying saw that she didn't sleep well, so she thought that惢心 felt that she had taken advantage of her friend and that's why she didn't sleep all night out of guilt.
Thinking of this possibility, Qingying sneered in her heart, what a naive person, such a small matter turned out to be like this.
But she only thought so in her heart, and still looked at惢心 with concern on her face.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"
Faced with Qingying's sudden concern,惢心 felt even more frightened. If he had felt that he still had enough time to escape from Qingying before, now惢心 was completely anxious.
"Slave, slave"
Feeling flustered, Suo Xin didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, Qingying had a strong imagination and didn't think too much about it.
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you. Since you didn't get enough rest, I'll let Lingzhi accompany me to pay my respects. You stay and have a good rest, and come back to serve me later."
Seeing that Qingying didn't realize that she was doing anything wrong, Suoxin was really happy this time and bowed.
"Thank you for your concern"
The master and servant appeared to be in harmony with each other on the surface, but they were always on guard against each other in their hearts. Fortunately, they both did a good job of pretending, so no one noticed that something was wrong with the other.
After packing her clothes and eating some snacks to fill her stomach, Qingying looked at the time and then took Lingzhi, who was promoted together with Yunzhi, to the main courtyard to pay her respects.
Ever since Fu Jin changed the rule five years ago that only the fifth or tenth day of each month is required to pay respects, Qingying feels much more relaxed about it.
Normally, he should have brought Suoxin with him in the past, but Suoxin looked haggard today, so Qingying had no choice but to let her rest in the yard.
By the time Qingying arrived at the main courtyard, everyone except her and her wife were already present in the main hall.
Seeing her come in, everyone who was chatting fell silent, and everyone looked at her with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Especially Hai Lan, who was sitting there without any attention and had not spoken a word, looked at her with a cold look.
It's a pity that no matter how angry the people present were with Qingying, Qingying was still the concubine on the jade plate, so when Qingying approached, everyone, led by Gao Xiyue, stood up reluctantly and saluted Qingying.
"Please be well, Concubine Jin."
If it were in the past, Qingying might have been willing to pretend to be magnanimous.
But ever since Hai Lan's incident two years ago, and because of the people she had intercepted in the past two years, the women in the palace were even more reluctant to talk to her than before.
So when she saw these people who were disrespectful to her paying their respects to her, Qingying went straight to her seat without saying anything. Only after she was seated firmly did she ask everyone to stand up with an expressionless face.
As for Qingying's grabbing, the people present were already accustomed to it.
"Sisters, please stand up."
Everyone stood up and sat down on both sides, one on the left.
Qingying, Chen Wanyin, Su Lujun, Hailan.
Sitting opposite them were Gao Xiyue, Huang Qiying, and Jin Yuyan.
After everyone was seated, the sound of conversation disappeared from the hall. For a moment, everyone seemed to have pressed the mute button. Apart from the sounds of breathing and the friction of fabrics, there was no other sound.
The awkward situation was not finally eased until Fu Cha Langya walked into the hall in a dignified and elegant manner.
"Sisters, please sit down."
"Xie Fujin"
Seeing that everyone was seated, Fu Cha Langya looked at Gao Xiyue with a smile.
"The decree to appoint Sister Xiyue as a concubine has come down, congratulations, sister."
When Fu Cha Langya said this, except for Gao Xiyue who was full of surprise, everyone else's face froze for a moment.
Last month they heard that Gao Bin had made great contributions in Henan, and at that time everyone thought that Gao Xiyue would be promoted to concubine soon.
But I don't know what delayed this matter, and there has been no movement for more than a month.
Originally everyone thought that the matter had passed, but unexpectedly, a month later, something that Fu Cha Langya didn't care about still happened in this mansion.
Everyone had different thoughts in their minds, but when they thought about where they were at the moment, they all quickly put on smiling faces. Then, except Qingying, who was secretly about to tear the handkerchief in her hand into pieces, everyone else stood up and saluted Gao Xiyue.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Yue"
After everyone sat down again, Fucha Langya smiled and spoke again.
"When you and Qingying came into the mansion together, I knew that one day my sister's dream would come true. Now that you have become a concubine, I am so happy to see you."
"Thank you, Madam. I am where I am today. Thank you for your guidance."
"We are all sisters, what's the point of saying all this? Your father is really capable. He helped the emperor in the previous dynasty, and you gave birth to Jingyun for the prince. It's only right that the emperor wants to reward you."
When talking about her precious daughter, Gao Xiyue raised her chin towards Qingying proudly.
