Queen's favorite

Qi Changle frowned when she heard this, and then felt that the conversation between her and Wang Xiyi seemed to be biased in two directions since she didn't know when.

Qi Changle was silent, and asked again as if to confirm: "Has Concubine Ying ever done anything to bully you?"

Hearing this question, Wang Xiyi's face froze. She bit her lip, glanced at Qi Changle, and finally nodded, "He...has indeed bullied me, but it's not an insult."

Seeing her attitude, Qi Changle raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was some scrutiny in his eyes unconsciously.

She couldn't help but analyze and asked: "So after being bullied by him, do you still subconsciously justify his behavior?" She also deliberately excluded the option that the other party had done something serious like "insult her".

Without waiting for Wang Xiyi to answer, Qi Changle asked again: "Then when you came to my palace, was this the concern you expressed?"

Wang Xiyi's hesitation was a bit obvious this time, she thought for a while, raised her eyes to look at Qi Changle cautiously, and then shook her head.

"Actually, it's not all of them." She remembered what happened in those days, and she didn't know what to say. With a little helplessness in her eyes, she looked at Qi Changle like a small animal.

Qi Changle felt soft-hearted by her, sighed helplessly, and finally asked: "Then tell me now, what you said just now is not worrying because of Concubine Ying's bullying, then why have you been wrong for a while? ?”

This time Wang Xiyi was silent for a lot longer than usual, Qi Changle was not in a hurry, or in other words, although she wanted to help Wang Xiyi, it was only when the other party asked her for help.

If Wang Xiyi tried her best to conceal it, no matter what the reason was, it would be impossible for Qi Changle to forcefully open the other party's hidden wound.

She is such a character, even if she takes the initiative, it is only this one time.It can be said to be very stingy.

That's why Qi Changle is not so anxious at this moment.If Wang Xiyi files a complaint with her today, then Qi Changle will help her.If the other party insists on not speaking, then Qi Changle has no choice but at the same time, he has no intention of pressing him.

After a while, probably Qi Changle's quietness infected her, Wang Xiyi finally pushed away her clamshell, and said in a barely audible voice: "...Sister, there seems to be something wrong with me, I seem to like...he gone."

Qi Changle's movement of picking up the teacup froze on the spot.

She went through that sentence over and over in her mind, making sure that she heard and understood correctly, and her expression suddenly relaxed.

She slowly raised her eyes, the bottom of her eyes was quiet and dark, like a secluded well.

Wang Xiyi waited for a long time but did not get the reaction she imagined, so she couldn't help raising her eyes slightly, looking at Qi Changle.However, when she met the other party's eyes, her back stiffened, she couldn't help but stop breathing, and then whispered: "Sister Changle."

Qi Changle lowered his eyes and recovered his expression.

Who is the other person in this sentence, there seems to be no one else to guess.

Qi Changle asked her in an unbelievable tone: "Is it Concubine Ying?"

Wang Xiyi bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes showed a trace of grievance at a loss, and then she nodded.

"I'm sorry, sister, don't scold me."

Qi Changle didn't know what kind of image she was in Wang Xiyi's heart, but she shouldn't be too serious, right?She has always treated others with tenderness, why is Wang Xiyi acting so afraid of her.

Qi Changle sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, "What can I scold you for, after all, this is your own business."

However, hearing what Qi Changle said, Wang Xiyi became even more flustered. She quickly walked to Qi Changle's side, and carefully stretched out her hand to tug on her sleeve, like a pet that was about to be abandoned, full of fear and panic.

"Sister Changle..."

Qi Changle took her reaction into his eyes, and sighed softly with Shen Mei.

"So, what are you so afraid of doing?"

Wang Xiyi sniffled: "I'm afraid my sister won't want me."

Qi Changle: "..."

Then she chuckled helplessly: "What can I do without you? What's more, you have never belonged to me."

Well, to be honest, after hearing Wang Xiyi clearly stated this matter, Qi Changle was indeed in a bad mood for the first time.She couldn't tell why she was feeling this way, but she could probably guess some of it.

Maybe she has no close sisters since she was a child, and she has never been close to others. She has cultivated the so-called "brotherhood" or "handkerchief friendship".

Since childhood, the only peer around her was Qi Tianxiang, but how could she and Qi Tianxiang coexist peacefully, so Qi Changle never cared about each other.

And it wasn't until she entered the palace, until she met Wang Xiyi, that her missing friendship came long overdue.So to a certain extent, Qi Changle still values ​​this relationship.

So correspondingly, she also valued Wang Xiyi.

But now hearing the other party say such foolish words, Qi Changle is naturally a little angry.

Probably unknowingly revealed such an attitude.

Qi Changle lowered his eyelashes and remained indifferent for a moment.Then he raised his eyes and looked at Wang Xiyi again, and said softly: "Then, give up now. It's impossible for you two."

Wang Xiyi's father's official position is not high, while Ying Shicheng is the son of the county king, the two are already very different in terms of their identities.Taking a step back, even if Ying Shucheng doesn't mind these things, but...they are now the queen's concubines, and it is impossible to say anything.

Therefore, instead of allowing this feeling to ferment and lead to disasters, it is better to stop thinking about it before the relationship is not deep and Concubine Ying has no other response to her.

Qi Changle thought very calmly, almost to the point of coldness, as if feelings were nothing but something that could be manipulated for her.

Wang Xiyi bit her lip, looked sad, and said in a low voice: "I know, I'm not stupid, I know it well, so I've been trying to make myself forget about it during this period of time. Sister, don't worry, I won't act stupid Yes."

Qi Changle glanced at her, his lips moved slightly, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't continue to persuade her.

Then, she asked: "So, why did you fall in love with Concubine Ying?" Qi Changle frowned slightly, "Obviously at the beginning, to you, he should be just someone who bullies you every day, and A villain who finds fault from time to time is right."

Mentioning this matter, Wang Xiyi blushed a little.

"Well, it was indeed like this at the beginning, and when I first entered the palace, I was indeed a little angry when I was bullied by him, and sometimes I even felt that he was too bad, which made me want to cry, but then..."

Wang Xiyi's voice softened, and there was a color of memory in her eyes.

At the very beginning, when Ying was asked to find fault, Wang Xiyi arbitrarily made up an image for the other party in her mind, that is, a ferocious and tyrannical person with a ferocious face and fangs.

But when she actually saw Ying Xucheng, she stood there unexpectedly, because the other party looked like an arrogant young man about her size with a bit of nobility between his brows.

Although Wang Xiyi was often bullied by him, she unexpectedly did not feel the emotion of being humiliated. It was not until later that the intersection between the two became deeper...Wang Xiyi discovered that when the other party "struck", she gradually became lighter, while her own Mentality is also gradually changing.This is...

Seeing Wang Xiyi's expression in his eyes, Qi Changle sighed with a headache.

But in any case, it was better for her to be like this than to be really bullied.

Thinking of this, the look in Qi Changle's eyes softened for a moment.

Then she stood up, ready to say goodbye to Wang Xiyi.After all, the main purpose of her coming here this time is to support Wang Xiyi, but the other party's worry and distress is no longer about being bullied, and the bad condition before was not because of being tortured, so Qi Changle felt relieved.

Seeing that Qi Changle was about to leave, Wang Xiyi quickly stood up and prepared to see her off.

At this time, a servant suddenly came in from outside.

"Greetings to Qi Jieyu, and Wang Changzai."

The servant said with a smile: "Our concubine Ying has an invitation."

Wang Xiyi was startled, and subconsciously looked at Qi Changle.

Qi Changle narrowed his eyes, and tidied up his cuffs slowly, "Oh? I don't know why Concubine Ying is looking for me?"

"Our family doesn't know about this either, Master Jieyu knew it when he went there."

Wang Xiyi frowned, worried for a moment.

Qi Changle glanced at her, but chuckled lightly: "Why are you worried about me all of a sudden? Don't you think it's a little tasteful?"

After hearing Qi Changle's ridicule clearly, Wang Xiyi blushed slightly, and whispered: "Sister, what are you talking about! Even if I... am not a pervert, I am just worried about you, in case he finds you If it's your trouble, then he is a concubine and you are Jieyu, wouldn't it be a disadvantage."

Qi Changle laughed and raised his eyebrows. "maybe."

If someone else passed by, they might really suffer.Although the harem is not a real harem, there will be disputes where there are people. If a concubine in the same situation as Concubine Ying goes there, she may really be coerced by him.

But Qi Changle is different.

After all, she has her own weapons.

Qi Changle walked in with eyes downcast, and then saluted according to the rules, but this time, no one shouted.

So this is trying to get off the ground first?She thought about it in her heart, but her posture did not change, her demeanor was dignified, and no one could fault her.

Palace salutes are divided into kneeling salute and curtsy. The former is a big salute. It is usually used on some important occasions, such as being enshrined or offering sacrifices, or when meeting a female monarch, or when a high-ranking concubine meets a high-ranking concubine. Of course, it only refers to the status Very different kind.

The latter is a daily salute.

For example, although Qi Changle is Jieyu, the difference between her and the imperial concubine is not too great, so she can choose to curtsy.

But the curtsy is just as literal, and if it lasts for a long time, it is very exhausting.At this moment, Ying Xucheng deliberately kept her from shouting, just for this kind of torture.

Qi Changle lowered her eyes quietly, she could feel that her legs were already numb, and the soles of her feet were shaking. She took a deep breath, but she didn't panic.

At this moment, Qi Changle was rather curious, Concubine Ying, was she deliberately targeting her?

Just don't know what it is for.After all, Ying Xucheng didn't respond when he first entered the palace, but now after she found her, he attacked her instead, and I don't know why.

As time passed, Qi Changle's body swayed slightly, and Concubine Ying from above said: "I am sleepy for a while, so I will forget about you, get up."

Qi Changle responded and stood up.

She glanced up slightly, and saw Concubine Ying's appearance clearly.

He was dressed in purple clothes, his eyebrows were full of dignity, and his face was full of youthful heroism. From the appearance alone, he did not look like the kind of bully who preyed on evil, but seemed innocent. Your son.

At this moment, Ying Xucheng is also looking at Qi Changle.

The woman standing below has a light body and a beautiful face. Even if you look at the harem of three thousand beauties, you can't find anyone more beautiful than her. If you have to say it, only the queen can compete with her. But the beauty of the two is different.

The beauty of the female gentleman is undoubtedly aggressive and intensely gorgeous, but she is the complete opposite, gentle and gentle, just like Qinglian.Especially when those peach blossom eyes looked over, they were drunk with fine wine.

It looks like a human being.It should be awarded as abdominal slander.But when he thought that the other party used this beauty to seduce the female monarch, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He worked so hard to keep safe in front of the queen. Why can some people be favored by the queen just by looking at her face?Of course, there may be a little personality reason.

——After all, Ying Shucheng had also heard about the incident in the Tiyuan Hall.

If it were him, he would not be able to do this, this Qi Changle really has some skills.

But even so, he didn't like her.Ying Xucheng gritted his teeth.

"I don't know why Jieyu came to Yichun Palace?"

Qi Changle replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The concubine and Wang Xu have a good friendship, and I came here this time to visit Wang Xu."

Concubine Ying: "Oh, so when you came to Yichun Palace, you first asked the king to agree, and then you openly put aside the position of Yichun Palace master and ignored it?"

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling the familiar feeling of being picked, a little familiarity surfaced in his heart.

But she was still calm, or in other words, except for the queen, she never took other people's provocations or anger into her heart.After all, no matter how much they hated and hated her, it was impossible for them to cause actual harm to her.

But only the female monarch is the one who is in charge of her destiny.

Even if the other concubines have higher status than her, it's hard to say who can get the convenience in this harem.

"That's not the case, but it's a matter of order. The concubine was going to visit the empress, but it seems that you are one step ahead, and it's just a coincidence."

Ying Xucheng sneered, and said deliberately: "I think this is just an excuse you came up with temporarily. It looks humble, but in my opinion, your heart is probably already over the top."

Qi Changle raised her eyebrows in her heart, feeling more and more that Concubine Ying's tone of voice seemed to be imitating Zhong Liyu.However, I don't know whether it was because he was unsuccessful in learning, or because he was not as majestic as the queen by nature. In the same words, Zhong Liyu's words were gloomy and terrifying, but what Concubine Ying said fell a bit behind.

She curled her lips lightly: "Your Majesty's words are serious, but the courtiers and concubines are cleared up." After finishing speaking, she stood there quietly.

Ying Xucheng pursed his lips, squinted his eyes and looked at Qi Changle, feeling that the anger in his heart was getting more and more angered.

He didn't understand, such a person, what does His Majesty the Queen like about her? ? ?

Pretend to be soft and weak in front of the female monarch with a handful of clear springs, but when he comes in front of outsiders, he reveals his hateful face. This person is very scheming.

Thinking of this, Ying Xucheng became even more angry in his heart.

Although he was also bullied by the female monarch in the past two years, but because of a different approach later, Ying Xucheng's life has settled down, so that he gradually has an illusion that he and the female monarch have reached a tacit understanding.

Ying Xucheng felt in a trance that he and the queen were the ones who had a good understanding.

But now someone has stepped into them!Ying Xuecheng feels very uncomfortable.

If he is upset, he must make others unhappy too.

The little county king, who has been domineering all the year round and developed an arrogant temper, couldn't bear it anymore.

Ying Shucheng narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "You have no respect, kneel down."

Qi Changle raised his eyebrows in surprise, but it wasn't because he was punished, but because he was punished as he should be.

Also just right.

Qi Changle lowered his eyes, covering the gloomy black eyes.

She also really wanted to see how this concubine Ying had tortured other concubines when she was in power.I also want to see what kind of attitude Zhong Liyu has towards his concubine.

So Qi Changle didn't say anything to defend, but did as he wanted, kneeling directly without any delay.

When seeing Qi Changle said he would kneel, Ying Shucheng's eyes flashed with surprise.

Because he also knows very clearly that Qi Changle is different from other concubines, she can only swallow what happens to her stomach, she can tell it, because at present she has the support of a female monarch.

Therefore, seeing Qi Changle so straightforward, he hesitated instead.

Want to punish her?

Ying Xucheng hesitated in his heart.Although he was quite stupid before, after entering the palace, he was scared by Zhong Liyu so that he didn't dare to be so stupid anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until now.

At this moment, he clearly knew that Qi Changle should not be the one he could move, at least not for now, but Ying Xucheng still felt a little moved.

Qi Changle is no different from him, they are nothing more than playthings to please the queen, to some extent they are in a competitive relationship, no different from concubines who compete for favor.

If Qi Changle can be brought down, will he be the only one left in front of the queen from now on?

To be honest, it was not easy for Ying Xucheng to get to this point. He had to be on guard like a domestic dog who was afraid that his owner would have other pets.

Thinking of this, Ying Xucheng's expression turned cold.

But the punishment cannot be so fine.He is not stupid.

So he asked someone to help Qi Changle, and then he asked someone to bring a book of Buddhist scriptures.

Qi Changle took the Buddhist scriptures, and before he could open his mouth, he understood the other party's intentions.

Sure enough, Concubine Ying said in the next moment: "Well, I won't pursue the matter of your lack of dignity. It just so happens that I need someone to help me copy Buddhist scriptures these days. I think you are very good. How about it, would you like it?" ?”

Qi Changle laughed slightly, but he had to admit that the "punishment" of copying things was quite common in the back house or the harem.

It's not that they can't think of other ways, but this way is really convenient, not only acceptable on the face, but also quite tortured on the inside.

It takes a lot of time to spend your eyes, mind and hands. After a long time of exhaustion, what else can I use to compete for favor.

However, in the final analysis, Qi Changle is fundamentally different from others.

Because she is favored by the queen, and she will sue.

No matter whether this kind of love is for her or a pet, no matter how long this kind of love will last, at least now, she has it.

Qi Changle's eyes turned cold, but he took the Buddhist scriptures without hesitation on his face.

"The concubine takes orders."

Ying Xucheng squinted his eyes and looked at her. Although he didn't know why he felt uneasy in his heart, he quickly calmed down this emotion.

Because he believed that compared with such a new favorite, the female gentleman paid more attention to the "fun" brought to her by the other party.

In other words, as long as his making things difficult can make the lady happy, then the lady will not care about what he did to Qi Changle.

Sometimes it is so ruthless.But Ying Xuecheng has long been used to it.

If he hadn't figured out Zhong Liyu's character, he wouldn't be able to live so comfortably in the concubine's position.

……

On the way there, Su Xi was a little worried.

Qi Changle took her expression into his eyes, but didn't explain or comfort her aloud.After all, she hasn't figured it out this time, whether she wants to act realistically in the complaint, still maintain her own character, let Zhong Liyu feel sorry for her and then help her, or use a jealous character to break through and then stand up.

These two can decide whether she wants to reveal some information in details to the eyeliner assigned by Zhong Liyu by her side.Therefore, Qi Changle did not intend to tell Su Xi what he thought.

He just comforted the other party when he looked over worriedly: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen."

Su Xi hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.

She thought that His Majesty would not care about their master's affairs.

Then Suxi said: "Master, tomorrow your mother should enter the palace to thank you."

Qi Changle was surprised: "Is it so fast?"

In fact, it's not too fast, it's just that she has been a little busy these days, so she feels that time is fast.But no matter what, it was always a pleasure to see my mother again after entering the palace.

Therefore, Qi Changle couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and there was some real happiness in the corners of his brows and eyes.

But this kind of joy and joy did not last long, because the next moment Qi Changle thought of it, the reason why her mother can have this honor, the reason why she can have this opportunity is all thanks to the queen.

It was the favor brought to her by the female monarch that made her what she is now.

Qi Changle's eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly drooped, pinching his fingers, with complicated emotions in his heart, and he couldn't even figure it out for a while.

In fact, she shouldn't think about what's there and what's not.

What is the distance, what is the difference, what is in and out of the play... These are all things she should not be able to think about.

Originally, her purpose was not pure, was it?

She kept talking about her admiration for Zhong Liyu, but in fact, Qi Changle knew exactly why she admired and complimented Zhong Liyu in the first place.

Her original intention was not pure, and she had no right to care about her identity to Zhongliyu, or Zhongliyu's feelings towards her.

Whether it's pampering her as Qi Changle, or pampering her as Qi Guiren, Qi Jieyu, or a pet, it's just a hypocritical pair on a whim.

...Don't tell anyone.

Qi Changle's footsteps suddenly slowed down, and he felt a dull feeling in his heart.

The author has something to say: I saw the comment section yesterday and suddenly realized that my previous setting was to separate men and women... (eating books by myself)

Okay, let’s take it as Wang Xiyi is a newcomer that Concubine Ying wants to go to (kneel down) Let’s see this as a branch line that has not been described (suffocating woohoo)

Then Concubine Ying’s bullying of Wang Xiyi was only too much in the early stage, and later it became like a primary school chicken. At the same time, the relationship between the two deepened, but because this pair is a bg line (although it may not necessarily become a cp in the end), the text will not Too much narration, I will occasionally mention it to supplement the plot line so that it is not too abrupt
