Chapter 414: 1 Yao sneaks in and the show really begins
At the same time, outside the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Gaizi was lying behind a stone pillar, watching Shi Yiyao, who was dressed as a palace maid, being stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace. Then she took out a token and the guards let her through.
He rolled his eyes and waited for a while on purpose before walking over, but was also stopped by the guards.
"Who is coming?"
Xiao Gaizi quickly took out a token of Chuxiu Palace from his bosom and said flatteringly:
"Hello, Sir Guard. I am a small official in Chuxiu Palace. I have something to report to Her Majesty Imperial Consort Xian. Please be lenient."
When the gatekeeper heard that it was someone from Chuxiu Palace, he quickly put down his knife and his attitude became visibly enthusiastic.
"So you are the eunuch from Chuxiu Palace. You are the one I told you to be. Please come in."
"Thank you, Sir Guard."
Xiao Gaizi put away the token and bowed. After entering, he went straight to the main hall to find Xiao Ruzi. On the other side, Shi Nanxi finally got her "part".
"You said that my sister, Concubine Shi, wants to ask me to come over for a chat?" She raised her eyebrows slightly and nonchalantly played with the teacup in her hand.
The maid who delivered the message lowered her head.
Trembling with fear, he said:
"Yes, Empress Xian, I just passed by the small pavilion at the back palace's Xianlou and saw Shi Concubine sitting there. She looked excited and I didn't know what she was saying. I only vaguely heard your name. Then she saw me and asked me to pass on a message for you to come over. She also said it was a very important matter and asked you to come over."
It was extremely bold for a concubine to ask the Imperial Noble Consort to meet her on her own initiative. After the palace maid finished delivering the message, she knelt on the ground trembling with fear.
Shi Nanxi's eyebrows moved slightly. She didn't expect that this matter also involved Shi Rongyue. Her mind was working rapidly, guessing what role Shi Rongyue played in it. However, she pretended to ponder for a while, then sighed helplessly and said:
"Forget it. After all, Concubine Shi is my biological sister. I will go and see what she wants to say."
After saying that, he stood up and left the table. The little palace maid was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up and led the way. However, when they reached the door, Shi Nanxi gave a subtle wink to Xiao Ruzi who was waiting outside. After turning a few corners, Shi Nanxi followed the little palace maid to the small pavilion under the fairy building in the back hall.
Shi Rongyue was indeed there. She waved her hand and the little palace maid retreated.
Shi Rongyue also saw Shi Nanxi coming over. Seeing her graceful, noble, pure and beautiful appearance, she almost tore her handkerchief.
Shi Nanxi glanced at Shi Rongyue, sat down on the stone bench calmly, and said lightly:
"Sister, you can't even perform the formalities when you meet me?"
Shi Rongyue was already angry and jealous, and she almost vomited blood when she heard this.
But she had something more important to ask Shi Nanxi now, so she had to take a deep breath, hold it in, stand up and do a squatting salute, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine Xian. May the Imperial Concubine Xian live in peace and happiness."
Shi Nanxi didn't care about Shi Rongyue's gnashing of teeth, and without even moving her brows, she raised her chin and said:
"Get up."
"Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort Xian." Shi Rongyue gritted her teeth and stood up. At this time, Shi Nanxi asked:
"I heard that my sister wanted to see me about something very important."
"Yes, I have something very important to ask you."
Shi Rongyue clenched her handkerchief at this time, staring at Shi Nanxi, not missing any expression on her face.
"I want to ask you, during the re-selection, was it not because I gave you an aphrodisiac that you accidentally had sex with the emperor and entered the palace, but rather you had already made up your mind to enter the palace when the selection began, and you didn't really want to follow my wishes and marry the prince, right?"
Shi Nanxi was surprised. She didn't expect that Shi Rongyue would ask about this matter. She was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said:
"Where did you hear that? I was just a concubine who had just returned from the manor. I was timid and cowardly. How could I have the guts to set my sights on the emperor? I didn't even think about it. Did you hear some instigating words?"
Shi Rongyue looked carefully at Shi Nanxi's expression, but didn't find anything unusual, and couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.
She was so excited about the news announced by Kangxi that she accidentally knocked over the teacup and made an excuse to come out to change her clothes.
But after changing her clothes, she didn't want to go back to the birthday party to see Shi Nanxi being so high and mighty, being envied and flattered by everyone, so she walked around casually. Unexpectedly, she walked into a rockery and heard someone inside talking about her and Shi Nanxi.
First, she talked about how the sisters’ current situations were so different, and then she talked about how blessed Shi Nanxi was and how pitiful she was.
Just when she was about to leave without listening any more, she heard someone inside suddenly say that Imperial Noble Consort Xian was so powerful that she was made Imperial Noble Consort even though she had no children in three years. It was obvious that she was not only smart but also powerful.
She also agreed with this point. Shi Nanxi was an ancient person and might be born to be good at palace fighting. But she didn't expect to hear such words in the next sentence.
[So you say, how could someone as powerful and resourceful as Imperial Concubine Xian not have a plan in mind? I think Imperial Concubine Xian must have made up her mind to enter the palace before the selection began, otherwise there would be so many younger princes who would not choose and choose to have a private conversation with the emperor...]
No one dared to mention the word "affair" at the end, but Shi Rongyue felt like she had been hit by a wake-up call.
What do you mean Shi Nanxi had made up her mind to enter the palace before the talent show began? Then the other party's promise to marry her to the prince was actually a trick to fool her!
No wonder Shi Nanxi always got into trouble in front of the prince. In fact, that was all her calculation, and she, Shi Rongyue, was a fool who was fooled by Shi Nanxi from beginning to end.
Her already agitated mood was even more irritated. If she hadn't retained a bit of rationality, she would have almost rushed back to the birthday party and confronted Shi Nanxi in public.
Finally, she quietly left the rockery and came to this small pavilion, but the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't accept it. Then she saw a little palace maid passing by, so she asked her to go find Shi Nanxi, and this is what happened now.
Back to the present, Shi Rongyue's eyes kept changing. What Shi Nanxi said made sense. She didn't seem to be pretending to be timid and cowardly at the beginning. Even if she was pretending, she had indeed grown up in the manor for many years. How could she have so many tricks and schemes to deceive a time traveler like her?
But the words I heard outside the rockery came to my mind again, and I began to have some doubts.
Looking at Shi Rongyue's expression, Shi Nanxi shook his head secretly.
Although he has grown up, he still retains the arrogance of a time traveler in his bones. He doesn't think that someone in his original situation could have come to this point.
He understood in his heart, but his face fell.
"Shi Rongyue, I have to remind you that I have just been promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, and people inside and outside the palace are jealous. Although you and I have a rift because of what happened back then, we are sisters after all, and we share the same blood. Someone can't bear to see me rising step by step, so they are deliberately trying to sow discord between you. If you believe it, you will really fall into the trap."
"Are you saying that someone is deliberately provoking me?" Shi Rongyue looked up with an uncertain tone.
Shi Nanxi looked at her straight in the eyes.
Do not dodge or evade:
"Yes, someone is deliberately instigating. Otherwise, think about it, if you believed it, would you still be able to go against me now?"
Yes, even if she had more money, she could never go against the imperial concubine of the dynasty!
At this moment, Xiao Ruzi came over and whispered in Shi Nanxi's ear. After listening, Shi Nanxi stood up and said:
"Okay, sister, think about it carefully. I have something to do and I'm leaving first."
The real show is about to begin!
