Qin Se spoke indifferently, her lowered eyes were full of sadness.
If the eldest princess is good, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep this child
In short, I can't keep it
Biting her pale thin lips, her fingers gently stroked her abdomen. whispering secretly:
"The world is sad, you shouldn't have come."
Seeing that Qin Se didn't speak, Hong Ye didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the steady stream of rewards, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
"If you like it, you can take as many as you like. These days have been hard for you."
Qin Se suddenly opened her mouth, and Hongye beside her was startled first, then she smiled and rubbed her little hands, "Your maidservant does not work hard, it is my honor to serve you by your side."
Qin Se knew that Hong Ye was saying something politely, so she poked Hong Ye's forehead with a smile, "Okay, there is no one else here, so I don't need to be so polite. It's my good fortune to have you serving me, and I can choose what I like."
Hong Ye raised her head and smiled contentedly, "Thank you, Ma'am."
Qin Se let out a "huh", then turned her eyes away, looking at the crimson sunset glow, and slowly fell into thought.
Xu Yuhe did he know something?
What can she do if she knows? What can she do if she doesn't know?
After entering the deep palace, everything is doomed to change, and she has no way of turning back. Always helpless, involuntary.
"Red leaves"
Qin Se leaned on the imperial concubine chair, holding a volume of books, and suddenly called out to Hong Ye who was eating snacks.
"Um?"
Hongye raised her head suddenly, but she didn't have time to react, the corner of her mouth was still covered with cake crumbs.
Asked in a panic: "Your Majesty, but the noise of the slaves eating is too loud for your Majesty?"
Qin Se put down a book and shook her head gently.
Hongye immediately felt relieved, and hurriedly held the remaining cakes and half-kneeled in front of Qin Se, "Your Majesty, do you want to eat cakes? This cake is newly made by the Imperial Dining Room. The servant has tasted it. It's sweet but not greasy. It's pretty good." of."
Qin Se looked down at the delicate petal-shaped pastries remaining on the plate, and shook her head again.
Biting his lips lightly, he hesitated to speak.
Hong Ye looked at Qin Se shaking her head, but was dazed. She brought the pastry back to the low table, picked up the futon beside her, and fanned it gently.
"Ma'am, what's on your mind?"
Qin Se lowered her brows and sighed softly, "In a blink of an eye, I'm already two months pregnant."
"According to the days, it has indeed been two months. Is the empress not feeling well?"
"That's not true, it's just that my heart is stuffy a little uneasy. Hongye, did the eldest princess reply?"
Hong Ye frowned, and immediately understood Qin Se's sorrow, "Ma'am not yet, I guess the Eldest Princess has just gotten better these days, and she hasn't taken care of it yet"
Qin Se let out a "hmm", knowing that Hong Ye was comforting her, "Hurry up tomorrow, and go to remind her."
Now that she is favored in the harem, and she is pregnant with an imperial heir, the eldest princess saw that she was useful, so she promised her one thing, but unfortunately, this thing has been delayed again and again
There seems to be no result.
Hongye responded, fanning the futon in her hand more and more slowly, as if she was thinking about something.
She also knew something about what Qin Se said, but she didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Ma'am"
"Um?"
"Slave has something I don't know whether to say or not"
Qin Se's eyebrows twitched, and her feeling of uneasiness became stronger. Her intuition told her that it should not be a good thing.
Even so, she couldn't help but said: "But it doesn't matter."
Hongye let out a long sigh of relief, and said all the things in her heart, "The aunt of the servant is the nurse next to the eldest princess, so the servant has heard a little bit, and the matter of the empress may be a little difficult."
Qin Se's heart skipped a beat, "How do you say?"
Hong Ye gritted her teeth, "My aunt said that the case of cheating in the imperial examination was a turmoil at the beginning, and it was Zai Zhijing's hand who convicted the Hanlin scholar. If you fight against Zhi Zhi, the gain outweighs the loss. And once this case is overturned, all the filth of Zai Zhi¡¯s faction will be dug up, fearing that the court will be in turmoil and the people will be in dire straits.¡±
Qin Se's heart sank, she knew it would not be so simple, Hongye's reply today was also within her expectation.
"But the eldest princess is not"To fight openly and secretly with Zai Zhi, if she overturns the case for the Imperial Academy, wouldn't Zai Zhi's faction be defeated by her?" "
"The slave girl asked the same question at the beginning, but the aunt's expression suddenly became very scary. The aunt said that there is no fatal evidence in this matter, so you can't act rashly, and this matter is so fundamental, the eldest princess is probably also She also has her own intentions. concern."
Hongye spoke euphemistically, sneaking glances at Qin Se's expression from time to time, her eyes full of worry.
When Qin Se heard the words, the last few hopes in her heart were also wiped out, and her pupils were dimmed.
Hongye bit her lip, and said in a tight voice, "Your Majesty is being favored now, why don't you blow your ears to the Emperor?"
Qin Se smiled bitterly and shook her head, her eyes full of scars, "It's not that easy. Although I am favored, the emperor has scruples. As long as I talk about things in the court, the emperor will change his face. I guess he is still afraid of the eldest princess." for the sake of
"Then what should I do?"
Hong Ye sat slumped on the ground, the cattail fan she was dangling in her hand was completely exhausted, she thought that the empress would have a dragon heir, and the road would get better and better after that, but who knew it would be blocked suddenly.
Qin Se rubbed the center of her brows, and sighed softly: "Just wait and see. I've survived this year and a half, and it's not too late."
Hongye responded, wanting to say some comforting words but didn't know where to start.
"These days, you help me investigate one more thing."
"My lady, please tell me."
When Hongye heard the words, she suddenly regained her spirits. She could do nothing about the affairs of the Imperial Academy, and maybe she could help with other things.
Qin Se frowned, with a few tangled expressions appearing between her brows and eyes, she hesitated for a long time before she said: "Go and check on Mr. Xu."
"Master Xu San?!"
Hong Ye let out a low cry, and asked another question in doubt, "Your Majesty, are you talking about the eldest princess' nephew, the son of the family Xu Sangong?"
Qin Se nodded.
Hong Ye's eyes widened in astonishment. Although she didn't know anything about the empress and the third son Xu before, she could guess the same from the attitudes of all parties.
"My lady what do you want to check?"
"Check whether Third Young Master Xu knows about the Hanlin Bachelor."
"A Hanlin bachelor?"
Hongye frowned, "Ma'am, do you suspect that Mr. Xu knows about the Imperial Academy?"
"have no idea"
Qin Se whispered, a kind of exhaustion suddenly surged up, lingering, "I'm always a little uneasy, I always feel that he knows something, otherwise he wouldn't say such thingsCheck it outat least feel at ease." (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
