Wu Shanghua was stunned for a moment, turned his head and shouted at me: "You are so kind?

However, the horizontal knife in his hand fell to the end.

I glanced at the maid who had been drawn and motioned for her to take the knife and put it back into its sheath.

After this trouble, the concubines of the East Palace no longer dared to talk about anything, and they all dared not bow their heads and say nothing. I also stood aside.

Su Su came over quietly and said in a low voice, "Sister Ruan hasn't come yet." It's not too early to see the hour. ”

I lowered my eyes and whispered, "Then she won't be here today." ”

She is so happy and vengeful, and she has not been able to get back the matter of being framed by Wu Shanghua a few days ago, so how can she send herself to Langhua Hall today to be tortured.

is the only one like himself, who is tired on the one hand, and deeply confined by etiquette on the other. In the end, Wu Shanghua is Shengyao's wife, according to the palace rules and etiquette, or came to Langhua Hall with injuries. I was really forced to read and read pedantic since I was a child! Sometimes when I think about it, I really envy Ruan Shuoren's temperament.

"Bye-" Mama Jin's elongated voice sounded in the Langhua Palace. All the concubines in the East Palace bowed down to the crown princess Wu Shanghua.

Wu Shanghua, who was sitting on a high seat, looked at us who were prostrate on the ground, his face was pale, and the dripping beads of the Qizhai phoenix crown fell one shadow after another on her forehead. From a distance, her face, which was hidden in the shadows, suddenly became gloomy.

I was shocked in my heart, and was about to see it more clearly, Wu Shanghua smiled, and he was already sitting very upright: "Sisters, this palace doesn't like to talk too much, to put it simply, as long as you respect this palace and follow this palace, then this palace will naturally love your sisters." If not, hmph—" She glanced sideways at Mama Kim, "and the hour is almost now, so let's leave it at that." ”

Mama Jin raised her voice and said, "Get up-" With this sound, Zhu Ji got up separately and followed Wu Shanghua to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

A few years ago, the Queen Mother made the old mistake of the head wind, so although she was very happy to see the young people in the East Palace coming to congratulate her, she only smiled and talked a few words, and returned to the inner hall after receiving the gift. Only the concubine was left with the ninth princess and the eleventh prince to laugh and relieve their boredom.

Concubine Qu and Princess Yongjia smiled at me in Cining Palace, and when they came out of Cining Palace, they took my hand and walked slowly on the palace road. Princess Yongjia's eyes swept over my veil, and she said with concern: "I also heard about your injury outside the palace. Isn't it okay now?"

I raised my hand and stroked my cheek, smiling and shaking my head.

Concubine Qu said softly: "The wound of the sword and the blade, how can it be healed quickly, and it is not that the embroidery was pricked by a needle! ”

Yongjia raised his eyelids and said in a low voice: "Mother concubine is cautious." Finally, he looked around again, and saw that only the personal maid of the three of us was on the side, and Fang smiled: "That's not poison, it's just recklessness and arrogance on the surface." Liangyuan should be careful, it is her ninth brother. That's the one who counts as poison. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I just live quietly in the palace, who can hinder me." Facing Wu Shanghua horizontally and vertically, I treated each other with courtesy. No matter how difficult that Wujiu prince is, he can't always stretch his hand into the palace. ”

Yongjia sighed lightly, approached me and whispered in his ear: "Master Gu will return to Beijing in a few days, listen to the will of my father, and he will always be restored." At that time, you and Wu Shanghua will be equal in terms of identity. If Wu Jiu knew that you were the concubine of the Gu family, he would never be merciful. ”

I pondered for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Sister Huang, don't worry, Xiaoguan is the Liangyuan Qu clan." Speaking of which, I would like to thank the imperial sister for her kindness in giving her surname. ”

Yongjia frowned and hesitated: "You are going to regain the identity of the Gu family's concubine after all." I can't call you a floating identity all the time, and Master Gu won't agree. It's just that it's better to think long-term. You Sister Rong Huang should also think about it. ”

"Yes, thank you Sister Huang for planning for me. ”

Yongjia shook my hand vigorously and did not speak.

The group went to Yongning Palace to worship the queen according to the ceremony, and saw Ruan Liangdi, who had already come here to wait, in the palace. Wu Shanghua's face suddenly looked bad, and he said angrily: "Someone is from a low background, no wonder he is so rude." ”

Ruan Liangdi replied nonchalantly: "Some people boast of being tall, but they still only know how to dance swords and wield knives! What's more, I don't even know when a martial artist can be called a high-ranking family member?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes almost dripping blood.

Fortunately, Ye Shangyi came out in time and said with a smile: "The queen mother is here." ”

Wu Shanghua sneered and stopped. When the queen ascended to the phoenix seat, Wu Shanghua led everyone to bow down in the palace and congratulate according to the ceremony.

Because the queen still wanted to meet with the foreign wife to congratulate her, she made everyone retreat after a few simple words of laughter. Leaving me alone, he said with a smile: "Xiaoguan, the congratulatory gift you sent, the embroidered ornament of the Shixi maple leaf beauty, the maple leaf is red as if it is going to be revealed, and the four-character poem inscription on it is also elegant." Hongu loves it very much. It has been ordered to be placed in the dormitory. ”

"It's good if the queen mother likes it. I replied respectfully.

"The wound on your face is better, the princess is reckless, so you have been wronged. I hope you will continue to bear more in the future. After all, she is the concubine of the East Palace. ”

This is not surprising at all.

I smiled softly: "Yes, Xiaoguan understands." He retired.

Back in the Huiyin Palace, I sat down quietly in front of the bookcase, picked up the pen and licked the ink, and wrote the inscription on the embroidered screen ornament on the paper: Bow up and be content, the heart is too mysterious, and worship the sun with frost. Yan is on the stone, as clear as the moon, looking forward to makeup.

But suddenly I smelled a fresh fragrance.

Looking up, on the table, where the calamus pottery pot was originally placed, I don't know when an eight-sided secret color porcelain vase was placed, and a peach blossom was inserted obliquely. The flowers are only half-opened, and the thin pink petals reflect the celadon like jade and ice, which is elegant and pure, and quite wild.

I put down the brush and played with it for a while.

Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, he immediately called Cuinong in and asked, "Where did you get the peach blossoms?" The peach blossom trees in the palace are still bare at this time. ”

Cuinong was confused by my question, stepped forward to look at the peach blossom and celadon vase, and whispered: "Liangyuan, the maid and Ruyi went with you to the Langhua Hall and the two palaces. I've been guarding outside since I came back, and I don't know who placed it. Why don't you ask the others?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Chloe has been doing needlework in the inner sanctum, ask her." Forget about the rest. "Since this flower is not an object in the palace, I rashly ask at this time, if there is a big disturbance, who knows what it will be passed on.

Cuinong agreed, and came back for a while and said, "Kou'er doesn't know." ”

I looked at the vase of flowers, and I had a vague answer and an inky silhouette in my heart. He commanded lightly: "No need to ask again." ”
