The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 262: Have some tea

Qin Liuse really didn't expect that Concubine Ning would invite her to Changxin Palace for afternoon tea, so she had lunch and took a short nap. After getting up, she ate some bird's nest porridge prepared by Zijin, and then went to Changxin Palace accompanied by Qingqing Zijin.

When they arrived at Changxin Palace, Concubine Ning had just coaxed the Third Prince to sleep, and just when she had some free time, Qin Liuse happened to arrive.

She invited Qin Liuse to the private room at the right end, where they could have tea and chat.

This private room was built by Concubine Ning in imitation of the ancients. There was a blanket on the floor and people sat on it. There were sliding wooden doors on both sides.

Moreover, the windows in the private room are larger than those in the rooms next door.

The windows were wide open and the view outside was very good.

The yard was covered in snow, and the aroma of tea was wafting through the air. It was so cozy.

Qin Liuse was thinking about getting a private room in Zhaoyang Palace tomorrow, which would be a great idea.

Concubine Ning waved to Qin Liuse, "Come and sit down quickly. The weather is really nice today. We can talk now. It's just the two of us, and it's quiet now."

Princess Changle is recuperating from illness and has fallen asleep with the help of her wet nurse. The Third Prince has also fallen asleep, so it is really quiet in Changxin Palace at the moment.

There is no noise from children, so it is especially suitable for talking.

Qin Liuse walked over, lifted her skirt, and sat on the low couch next to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning is a straightforward person and easy to get along with, so Qin Liuse didn't act pretentiously and restrain herself.

She picked up the teacup, opened her lips and took a sip of tea, without saying anything for a while.

The main thing is that I don't know why Concubine Ning asked me to come here today. After thinking about it, I don't think she wants to settle the score later, right?

Judging from her reactions in the past few days, Concubine Ning did not seem to suspect that she was the one who framed Princess Changle.

Qin Liuse was unsure, so she drank her tea silently without saying anything.

Concubine Ning asked the maid to bring in the snacks and placed them on the table. Then she smiled and invited Qin Liuse to have some snacks.

Then I asked her a few questions about the fetus and whether her stomach was comfortable. If she had any questions, she could ask her.

After all, Concubine Ning had already given birth to two children, and both were very adorable. Qin Liuse really had a lot to learn in this regard, so she took the topic of Concubine Ning and asked her a lot of questions about pregnancy.

As they talked, the atmosphere between the two became warmer.

Concubine Ning had just given birth to the third prince, and her figure was rather plump. Coupled with the nourishment she had received over the past few months, she could be said to be living a life of luxury, with a very rosy complexion.

Leaning on the lazy chair, the whole person looks a little lazy, just like a picture of a winter beauty taking a nap.

When Qin Liuse was observing Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning was also looking at her without any hesitation.

Concubine Ning thought that Qin Liuse was a pretty girl with pretty eyes and eyebrows. Now that she had the emperor's favor, she had become more charming than before.

She thought to herself that it was no wonder that the emperor always went to her Zhaoyang Palace even though she was pregnant. It was really pleasing to see.

The two of them drank a stick of tea before Concubine Ning gradually got to the point.

"Sister, are you scared by what happened to Princess Changle a few days ago?"

Qin Liuse was a little surprised. She didn't expect Concubine Ning to bring up this matter on her own initiative. For a moment, she put down the teacup in her hand.

And it seems that Concubine Ning asked me to come to Changxin Palace today just to tell her about this.

Qin Liuse actually had a lot to say a long time ago, but when she came a few days ago, Concubine Li was present, so many things were not convenient to say.

Seeing that they were alone today, she said with some guilt, "I was indeed a little careless that day. I should have asked my sister before giving Princess Changle food."

"Alas, ever since I got pregnant, my brain doesn't seem to be working as well as before."

Qin Liuse's words made Concubine Ning laugh, "I am the same. It was fine when Changle was born, but since the birth of the third prince, my brain is really not enough."

When Qin Liuse saw her joking so happily, she knew that Concubine Ning did not blame her for this matter, and she felt relieved for a moment.

"Fortunately, Princess Changle is fine, otherwise I would never sleep peacefully in my life."

Concubine Ning poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "I don't know who did it, but you really tried so hard. You want to control my Changle and make me fight with you, but you are just dreaming."

"Sister, do you think so too..." Qin Liuse asked Concubine Ning tentatively.

Concubine Ning smiled and said, "I am stupid for three years after I get pregnant, but I am not really stupid."

She ate cakes and said, "That person did this just to make me fight with you. He has no ability, but he is jealous of us."

Nowadays, in addition to Qin Liuse, the highest-ranking concubine in the harem of Emperor Yongjia is Concubine Ning.

Naturally, some people would find him an eyesore, and this would lead to a fight between two people with the highest status in different fields.

The person who is hiding behind and designing the plan can be said to be a mantis stalking a cicada, while the oriole is behind, and he just wants to reap all the benefits.

No matter which side loses the fight between Qin Liuse and Concubine Ning, it will be beneficial to that person.

If Qin Liuse fell out of favor, the harem would no longer have such an extremely honorable goal.

And if Concubine Ning failed, then the position of Concubine would be a popular position in the eyes of many people.

Qin Liuse was a little panicked for a moment, "How lucky am I to have my sister trust me like this?"

"Oh!" Concubine Ning exclaimed.

"Ever since you entered the mansion, I felt that I had a liking for you."

"I didn't expect that it took you so many years to gain favor." Concubine Ning said again.

When she entered the palace, Concubine Ning thought that Qin Liuse would be favored immediately.

Another favored person at that time was Wen Zhaoyi, who competed with her for people every day.

Concubine Ning originally thought that Qin Liuse's looks would make the arrogant and domineering Concubine Wen look good.

Who knew it would happen so quietly.

After several years, Qin Liuse's name was rarely heard.

But at that time, Concubine Ning had given birth to Changle and had no time to ask about these things.

It was not until I entered the palace that I saw her again.

Qin Liuse also caught the eye of Emperor Yongjia.

Qin Liuse lowered her eyelids and said nothing. After all, when she first arrived at the Ninth Prince's mansion, she still had someone else in her heart.

In addition, at that time, the Ninth Prince was also busy with his great cause and often went to the northwest. He did not have time to visit so many people, so she was left alone.

However, Qin Liuse did not expect that Concubine Ning would show her kindness in this way and openly say that she got along well with her.

Qin Liuse was a smart man. When he heard what Concubine Ning said, he knew that although she invited him here not for a Hongmen Banquet, she must have other purposes.

And now it seems that Concubine Ning wants to form a united front with her.

Concubine Ning had indeed planned this, which was why she called Qin Liuse over.
