Ordered someone to open the lock, Concubine Xin wanted to see the mud-gold path connecting the backyard and Canglang Xuan in Yuyuan, after a long winter, I don't know what the barrenness has become.

Several tall red cotton trees have basically failed, and there are still crimson stumps under the trees. The bamboo branches have not been pruned and grow unevenly. In the old years, a few pots of bluegrass planted by Su Duhan have not been moved to the greenhouse, and have long withered into butterflies, leaving only a few strands of charred black remains.

In a bamboo pavilion, there is an unfinished chess game, and there are some black jade chess pieces.

The furnishings in Canglang Xuan are still the same, but they can't welcome back their owners.

Stepping out of the front door of Canglang Xuan, Concubine Xin stood in front of Su Rui's outer study again.

Du Ruo took a risk, and the life of King An's mansion was turned upside down, as if he had inadvertently discovered the secret letter. If you investigate it carefully, Concubine Xin feels as if it has nothing to do with her.

Unaware of that secret letter, Su Duhan and Su Guangfu had already started their plan, and that letter was just a fuse, which intensified the conflict between them even faster.

Looking up at the blue sky, looking at the clouds and dogs, thinking about the years in the house, Concubine Xin actually felt like a world away.

Stepping out of this empty courtyard, the world outside is still wonderful, Du Ruoruo stays until now, and the freedom she wants is at her fingertips. It's a pity that for her own selfishness, she did not hesitate to attack her former good sisters, and in the end she lost her life.

Now this freedom is in front of him, as long as he is willing to nod, Concubine Xin will have nothing to do with King An's mansion. Obviously, she can walk without worry, but when she remembered the first time she saw the tall and majestic young general at the gate of the palace on a rainy night in the past, she couldn't help but feel sharp pain in her heart.

By entering the palace to greet the Queen Mother, Concubine Xin firmly expressed her heart.

At that time, the Murong Wei sisters and Tang Jia'er were sitting in the Shoukang Palace, watching the Queen Mother order Mama Bai to find some jewelry from her youth, and wanted to add makeup to Chen Zhihua.

There was a complete set of red gold, jade, red coral, and green pine and other colorful head and face jewelry on the kang, and the queen mother picked it up with great interest, asking the opinions of the Murong Wei sisters from time to time.

Seeing Concubine Xin come in to ask for peace, the Queen Mother raised her hand and called her: "You have a good eye, come and help the mourning family choose, what is new and valuable, can match the girl of the Chen family?" ”

The friendship between the queen mother and the old lady is here, and the Chen family is the closest relatives of the Murong family, no matter which side they are on, this gift cannot be simplified in any way.

Looking at the two sets of jade, ruby and Dongzhu heads picked out by Murong Wei and others, as well as a box of hairpin bead rings, the queen mother still didn't care. She pulled Xin Mei and stood in front of the kang, and then pointed to the set of red blonde hair ornaments of the Toad Palace: "Can you take a look at this meaning?" ”

Mama Bai smiled and Mimi aside, unloading the heavy burden on her heart, now Mama Bai's face is stretched and kind, she hugged the other arm of the Queen Mother, and smiled at Murong Wei: "The slave maid saw it in a flash, and the Queen Mother turned out all the things at the bottom of her box, as if she was opening a grocery store." ”

The Queen Mother listened interestingly and said, "I should have set up a grocery store, so I just cooked it together today." First Lan Xin, then Ah Wei, good things one after another, the mourning family is looking forward to them emptying the things at the bottom of the mourning house. ”

Speaking of herself, Murong Wei was shy, and she could hear the joy of the Queen Mother's words.

Murong Hui pulled Tang Jia'er and chuckled, but picked out a pair of glass earrings carved with impatiens from the big kang, curiously fiddled with the square gold embellishments on the outside, and exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out that the inlay on the outside of this pendant is alive, and this impatiens can actually turn." ”

The Queen Mother took a look at it and recognized it as an old thing from her youth, which was not expensive, but small and exquisite. She touched Murong Hui's hair lovingly, and handed the pendant to her hand: "This is a little girl's play, grandmother can't bring these things now, give them to you to play." ”

Murong Hui accepted it with a smile, and continued to pick it up with the Queen Mother with great interest, picking out some delicate things from time to time. The queen mother also didn't pay much attention to these external objects, so she found a few things that these children wore appropriately, and gave them to their sisters on the spot.

Tang Jia'er couldn't refuse, and also received a few beaded flowers from the Queen Mother, as well as a jasper hairpin and a piece of jade to wipe the forehead of Mrs. Tang, and was busy thanking her grandmother.

Concubine Xin looked at the happy scene in front of her, thinking that she would not be able to survive the blessing of her children and grandchildren around her knees after all, so that she didn't have to envy others.

She cheered up and according to the queen mother's preferences, and picked a pair of gilded and emerald hanging beads flying phoenix hairpins, two silk gold thread peonies, two red coral begonia flower hairpins, and a pair of agarwood pearl comb grates, and the six sets of heads and faces selected earlier were placed together, and the queen mother was invited to take a look.

Seeing that the queen mother nodded with satisfaction, Mama Bai took the things away, and ordered someone to fetch water to clean the hands of the masters. The fruit plates were rearranged in the Shoukang Palace, the palace maid changed the tea, and several people sat down to talk.

Knowing that these children are quite tight-mouthed, they are not ignorant people, and Concubine Xin does not need to avoid suspicion. She knelt on the ground, expressing her desire to follow Chu Zhaohui and imploring the Queen Mother to fulfill it.

In the past, the four most powerful girls around her, the second concubine Xu Meng, although she is now golden and noble, she sleeps alone every night. Although Du Ruo said that he was to blame, he hated because of love, and ended up with a wisp of fragrant soul to go to Huangquan early. Although Xin Mei now has the title of concubine, she is still a daughter.

The Queen Mother sighed alone, and a look of guilt swelled up. At that time, because Emperor Chongming had no children under his knees, he had no choice but to do this, dismissed the four most powerful girls around him, and changed the fate of the four of them.

Happiness or misfortune, resentment or hatred, it doesn't matter anymore. The Queen Mother looked at Xin Mei with pity, and with sharp eyes, she found that there were a few early-growing hairs on her sideburns, and she couldn't help but sigh silently.

Although Xu and Meng are now sleeping alone every night, they are fortunate to have a son by their side, and it is better to be helpless and bear the reputation of the concubine in vain.

I know that Xin Mei looks at his soft temperament, but his bones are extremely hard. Since he asked for it in front of him, even these children were not taboo, it must have been an early decision, not a whim.

The queen mother was expressionless, and only asked lightly: "You have to think clearly, when you go, there is no one in King An's mansion to guard the house, how can you leave?" ”

Xin Mei had already planned, she kowtowed lightly, and said quietly: "The concubine has been thinking about it for a long time, since the lady has handed over her entire net worth to the concubine to take care of, before the concubine leaves, she will definitely arrange it properly." ”

Xin Mei is not impulsive, she has been taking care of Zhongfang for many years, and her thinking is extremely clear.
