There are only a few teams of guards outside the queen mother's palace, and in this cold season, these guards are very heavy and clumsy.

The weapons in everyone's hands also looked extremely heavy.

Ouyang Heyue followed the little palace maid forward, secretly regretting it in his heart.

It would be nice if you could bring some useful things when you travel, such as some drawings, a notebook to download good information history books or something, and bring ......

Alas, she sighed helplessly, what's the use of thinking so much, it's already good that the soul is still there, why do you want to bring a gun and a book......

"Girl, please wait outside, and the slave will go and report it. ”

Ouyang Heyue nodded and watched the little palace maid enter the main hall. It was freezing, and she didn't wear a cloak, she stood alone in the doorway, shivering from the cold.

There is a plum blossom outside the Empress Dowager's Palace, and this plum tree looks quite old, with thick branches full of buds.

Although the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, the fragrance has already wafted all over the garden.

When the Queen Mother heard that someone was coming, she immediately summoned Ouyang and Yue in.

After Ouyang Heyue entered the door, she kept hanging her head, although she didn't plan to stay in the palace for a long time, she didn't learn much etiquette. But I watched a lot of court dramas in the past, and I know that not everyone can see the Queen Mother.

What's more, she has been in the palace for so long, and the Queen Mother has never thought of seeing her, there must be something wrong with seeing her suddenly, and it is even more impossible for her to go in with her head raised and look at her directly.

"I've seen the Queen Mother. ”

A girl with a loud voice, dressed in a refreshing and refreshing manner, stood outside the beaded curtain with her head down. Although it was through the bead curtain, Empress Dowager Yu could still see the people outside, it was a delicate girl.

"Look up. ”

Empress Dowager Yu squinted her eyes and looked carefully at the girl outside through the beaded curtain.

This girl looks clear-eyed, does not squint, has a well-proportioned figure, and does not look very charming, and does not have anything to do with the rumored person at all.

"Queen Mother, why don't you let her kneel and ask. ”

A palace maid beside the Queen Mother suddenly whispered.

Ouyang and Yue couldn't hear anything outside, but the Queen Mother gave each other a blank look, and the palace maid immediately didn't dare to say more.

"Do you know what the mourning family called you to?"

"I don't know. ”

Ouyang Heyue's heart beat faster, this feeling is very similar to a prisoner about to be arraigned, she feels that the end of the world is coming, she used to see others to see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is a fierce and evil face.

I guess I called her this time to make trouble for her.

She stood there and didn't dare to come out, this feeling of being punished was the first time she had it.

"Yes, there have been a lot of rumors about you in the palace lately. ”

The Queen Mother sat behind the beaded curtain, with a majestic demeanor.

The rumors in the harem are nothing more than to force the emperor to quickly choose a concubine, and those who know Ouyang and Yuecun know that even if this woman can't make any waves, her Cunzi is still threatening.

If the emperor doesn't like this woman, why would he bring her into the palace from the outside, even if he hasn't given her any reward yet, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not in the future, so in order to have no worries, they must strangle all possibilities in the cradle.

"What kind of rumors?"

Ouyang Heyue was very surprised, she had only been in this palace for three or two months, and she thought that she had not done anything unruly.

She walks upright and sits upright, what is there for her to be weak?

"Don't pretend to be confused here, everyone in the palace knows it, pretend to be serious. ”

The little palace maid next to the Queen Mother, I don't know if she is usually spoiled by the Queen Mother, so she blurted out.

"Shut up, there's no room for you to talk here. ”

The queen mother's eyes widened, and the palace maid immediately shut up in fright, but her eyes cast a resentful light on Ouyang and Yue.

That cold gaze seemed to kill Ouyang and Yue, I don't know what kind of hatred the two of them had in their previous lives.

"Queen Mother, what are you talking about, I really don't know what's going on. I don't think I'm causing trouble in the palace, and I'm doing my duty. ”

Ouyang Heyue felt that cold sweat began to break out in her palms, because she suddenly thought of the sentence that there is no excuse for the crime that she wants to add.

"How did you meet the emperor, I have never heard him mention you before?"

The queen mother seems to want to be thoughtful, break the casserole and ask to the end.

Ouyang Heyue didn't want to hide it from the Queen Mother, but she didn't plan to say it all, she just said a few inconsequential points, so that the Queen Mother could hear it clearly, but she didn't say the details.

After all, the emperor was not the emperor sought after by others, but a little prince who fled abroad.

After listening to Ouyang Heyue's narration, the Queen Mother nodded, she couldn't hear these things from others, and even the emperor didn't tell her again.

It's not that she hasn't asked before, but the emperor always gets rid of it with various excuses.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't ask anything about this matter, and it didn't take long for the matter of choosing a concubine to officially start, and all places were busy choosing a concubine, and they paid less attention to many trivial things.

But there was a bizarre theft in the palace.

Chen Xiang, the daughter of the owner of Chen, was also on the list of concubines this time, Ouyang Heyue could have escaped, but Su Nange privately asked people to include her in the list of concubines.

She, like everyone else, lives in a unified place, waiting for a second election.

In fact, to put it bluntly, she is just like the current beauty pageant, she belongs to the kind of person who has a backstage, and she doesn't know anything, so she goes directly to the last procedure.

The place where she lived was also different from the ordinary candidate women sent in from outside the palace, and she lived in the same area as the daughters of other dignitaries.

That day, she was only invited by Chen Xiang to go to Chen Xiang's residence, and as soon as she returned to her residence, she heard that Miss Chen Xiang had lost a pearl necklace.

Because of Chen Xiang's special identity, the emperor has sent someone to investigate thoroughly, and every suspicious person's room must be searched.

Ouyang Heyue felt strange, she had been to Chen Xiang's room that day, but she was only

They sat at the door for a while, after all, the two of them didn't have much in common.

Ouyang Heyue didn't plan to really become a concubine, after all, the person she liked was Su Li, she thought that with her relationship with the emperor, participating in the selection of concubines in this way was just going through the motions, and when the motions were over, she would do whatever she had to do, and the emperor would give her back her freedom.

Before that, she didn't want to offend people in the palace, so as not to cause trouble, so she didn't offend Chen Xiang and went to chat with her at her invitation.

But no one would have thought that something like that would happen, and now whenever someone asks, Chen Xiang will tell people outside that only Ouyang Heyue had been to her that day.

Moreover, Ouyang Heyue's identity is different from others, and many people's rumors about her are from a humble and poor background, so more people speculate that she has never seen such good pearl jewelry, and it must have been stolen by Ouyang Heyue.

At first, it was only circulated among a few people, but after a long time, many people began to look at Ouyang Heyue with colored eyes, and blamed Ouyang Heyue for this matter.
