It was night, the moonlight was beautiful, hitting this deep palace, and a beam of warm light fell, dispelling the cold.

Sheng Xue returned to her room after waiting for Empress Dowager He to sleep, and Qianlan was helping her make the bed, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around and smiled at Sheng Xue.

Sheng Xue sat on the chair, poured herself a glass of water, and gasped lightly: "Whew-I've been standing for a day, I'm tired to death!"

It was the height of summer, and although it was much cooler at night, the palace where the slaves and maids in the palace lived was also stuffy and uncomfortable, and Sheng Xue's forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat.

Qianlan came in with a basin of water from outside, wet the towel, and handed her to wipe her sweat.

"Hey, how about you go to the imperial study to serve today? I peeked at the emperor a few days ago, but he looks handsome!" As soon as Sheng Xue's words were finished, Qianlan blocked Sheng Xue's mouth.

Qianlan's brows were tightly knit, and her eyes were full of vigilance.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Xue was confused, not knowing what Qianlan was worried about.

Qianlan picked up Sheng Xue's hand and wrote in her palm: "Be careful that the wall has ears, be cautious in your words and deeds!"

"Oh-got it!...... Sheng Xue's curiosity was still not extinguished, but she lowered her voice and whispered, "Then how are you in the imperial study today?"

Qianlan exhaled deeply, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, her face full of thoughts, looking very sad.

Sheng Xue hurriedly sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qianlan wrote in Sheng Xue's palm again: "I seem to have made the emperor unhappy, I don't know what to do?"

Sheng Xue stared at her bulging eyes, full of incredulity, she grew up with Qianlan since she was a child, she knows Qianlan's temperament best, gentle and lovely, even if someone slaps her twice for no reason, she will only swallow her anger, never quarrel with others, and do things much more down-to-earth and careful than herself, how can she displease Long Yan?

"What did you not do, or what you shouldn't have ......?"

Sheng Xue suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly slapped her mouth twice, "Bah, bah...... I said the wrong thing, so what the hell is going on?"

Qianlan sighed lightly, she didn't know where to start, she couldn't tell her about the things about King Liang in the back, she was very entangled and clasped her fingertips.

"Oh, what are you grinding and chirping, why can't I even know?" Sheng Xue was about to die when she looked at her delay in speaking.

"In short, the emperor is not careful, you can help me think of a way first!" Qianlan still decided not to tell Sheng Xue, it is better not to know some things than to know, especially in this palace.

As everyone knows, some well-intentioned concealment is the seed of rupture.

Sheng Xue has a little estrangement in her heart, since she was a child, the two of them have nothing to say, but now they are secretly in their hearts......

"I think the emperor seems to be a good man, otherwise he wouldn't have let you come back unharmed, huh...... As for his displeasure...... My mother said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach!"

Sheng Xue's eyes flashed with inspiration!

"Aren't you the best at making milk cakes? You can make a milk cake tomorrow to make amends for the emperor!"

Milk cake?

Qianlan thought about it carefully, and there seemed to be some truth, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

It's late at night.

The moonlight was covered by a touch of dark clouds, and it became no longer sultry, and the boring summer night made Sheng Xue turn over and over, and Qianlan was already a shallow sleeper, and she couldn't sleep anymore.

She leaned against the window, the night breeze was very cool, blowing on her face was very comfortable, Qianlan closed her eyes and enjoyed the coolness of this moment.

Under an oil lamp, a picture scroll, a touch of danqing, a little cinnabar, like the sunrise under the landscape ink painting, silent.

The corners of Tang Aizong's mouth rose slightly, and he gently dried the painting, and then took it to the moonlight, and looked at the beautiful woman on the painting in the moonlight.

Quiet and indifferent, a smile is like a flower blown by the drizzle, the world is independent, only eleven or twelve years old children can't see what a peerless face, but it is also the color of the moon and shameful flowers.

Thinking back to everything in the imperial study today, Tang Aizong's sorrow came to his heart, he admired Qianlan's perseverance, and even felt sorry for her to hide all her thoughts in her heart.

His unintentional words seriously injured Qianlan, and his incompetence and softness were wiped out by Qianlan's prying eyes...... Tang Aizong looked at the broken moonlight, not knowing how to face Qianlan tomorrow.

......

......

The morning sun rises, shining with the moon.

The morning glow ignited half of the sky of the Luoyang court, which was extraordinarily bright red, in sharp contrast with the remaining blue, still and moving, and the unique scenery made people can't help but stop and look at it for a while.

Qianlan listened to Sheng Xue's words, made milk cake in the small kitchen early in the morning, and put it in the food box, but she didn't move for a long time, sitting by the stove, her head lowered.

Sheng Xue saw her sad face, so she patted her on the shoulder, "What's the matter?"

Qianlan shook her head and wrote on Sheng Xue's palm, "Do me a favor." ”

Outside the Imperial Study.

Sheng Xue sat on the stone steps outside the imperial study with a food box, holding her chin, smiling and smiling, full of shyness of a woman in the boudoir, waiting for the return of this Tang Aizong dynasty.

About a moment later, a familiar figure appeared in front of the imperial study, Sheng Xue polished her eyes a little, and looked at it, it was Tang Aizong!

Sheng Xue suppressed the joy in her heart, and walked towards the imperial study with the food box, but was stopped by her father-in-law at the door.

"Which palace is the wild girl, who actually broke into here?"

"The slave maid is Sheng Xue in the Queen Mother's Palace, who came to send some pastries to the emperor. ”

"Why haven't I seen you in the Queen Mother's Palace?

Sheng Xue's two little eunuchs dragged her, Sheng Xue struggled desperately, but her strength couldn't withstand others, so she began to shout in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is Sheng Xue in the Queen Mother's palace, and I came to deliver pastries to the Emperor on the order of the Queen Mother!

Tang Aizong was flipping through the excerpts played by the courtiers, and was disturbed by the noise outside, "Gonggong Li, go and see what's going on?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

As soon as Gonggong Li came out, he saw Sheng Xue shouting, he knew Sheng Xue, and he was also present when Empress Dowager He rescued Sheng Xue and Qianlan a few days ago.

"What's the fuss!"

Under the order of Gonggong Li, all the noise turned into a clean.

"That slave is a new little palace maid in the Queen Mother's Palace, let her in!"

Sheng Xue breathed a sigh of relief, carried the food box and made a slightly proud face at the father-in-law at the door, and entered the imperial study.

"See the Emperor. Sheng Xue knelt on the ground, bowing her head, not daring to look at him.

"What's the matter?" Tang Aizong's gaze was still focused on the fold.

The maid Sheng Xue brought some milk cake and begged the emperor to taste it. ”
