Empress Dowager Liu's face is still the same, but the kind eyes are a little deeper at this time, and the eyebrows are more solemn, and there is a solemn atmosphere in Jinghai Palace unconsciously.

After a long time, a voice sounded in Jinghai Palace, "It seems that the mourning family is indeed not wrong, your heart is poisonous and ruthless enough, all problems are not a problem in front of you, with you by Xuan'er's side, you can naturally remove all obstacles for Xuan'er." ”

"The queen mother asked her sons to come to Jinghai Palace just to say this to her sons?" Her slightly drooping eyes covered the emotions in her eyes, and her expression was still indifferent and unmoved.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Liu smiled slightly, but she didn't know what it meant, "It seems that Lin'er already knows the truth about this matter, but, with Lin'er's temperament, why didn't you expose the mourning family, and why didn't you attack the mourning family?" ”

"We are all attached to Xuanyue to live, since the queen mother and I are both for Xuanyue's good, I naturally won't do anything to the queen mother." The eyelashes are long and thick, slightly upturned like a fan, a pair of cold and indifferent spirit beads, glowing with a pearl-like streamer, and the eyes are as clear as a stream under the ice, without a trace of dirt in the world.

"Oh? In this way, the mourning family also has use value for you, when you know that the mourning family reuses you and you do not expose the mourning family, it is enough to show that the mourning family is still useful to you. Between the words, the Queen Mother lowered her eyelids and slowly put the fragrant tea in her hand on the table.

Empress Dowager Liu was dressed in an orange-red wide-sleeved robe, decorated with yin red embroidery, and the dark lines on the clothes were made of dark ink and bright silk threads.

"That's all the Queen Mother wants to say?" The inky black eyes didn't have any emotion, "If there is nothing else, then Erchen will leave first." With that, he got up and slowly stepped out of the palace gate, his steps light and shallow.

The queen mother's head is full of hibiscus and green silk doped with Chinese hair, all of which are twisted with beads and gold silk, and a few silver hairpins are embellished, the eyebrows are still picturesque, and a phoenix-shaped step shakes all things gorgeous, and the original style is still visible, looking at Shangguan Yelin's back, revealing an incomprehensible look.

Shangguan Ye Lin took the last step out of Jinghai Palace, and with some unsteady footsteps, he stretched out his hand to support the high wall, and his whole body leaned against the wall without gravity.

It turned out that Empress Dowager Liu was using her four years ago, using her to eradicate all stumbling blocks for Ouyang Xuanyue, and using her to help her become the only queen mother in the harem.

In the back garden of King Wei's mansion, Bai Muyi leaned on Ouyang Hao's arms and listened to Ouyang Hao's words, "I have asked the imperial brother, and he will find an appropriate opportunity to help us get married." ”

"Hmm." Bai Muyi replied lightly, then took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Ouyang Hao, "Give this back to you." ”

"Jade pendant? How could this jade pendant be with you, I thought I lost it. Ouyang Hao glanced at the jade pendant in Bai Muyi's hand, but did not reach out to take it.

"Remember when I almost fell in the Imperial Garden four years ago, and you helped me?"

"Remember, it was the first time we met."

"This jade pendant was dropped when you saved me, and I wanted to return it to you, but I never had a chance, and it dragged on until now." As he spoke, Bai Muyi handed the jade pendant in his hand to Ouyang Hao.

"I see, I still remember the words you muttered in the queen mother, which really stunned me for a moment." Ouyang Hao took the jade pendant in Bai Muyi's hand, raised his eyes to look ahead, as if reminiscing, looked at Bai Muyi in his arms, and gave the jade pendant to Bai Muyi, and said: "From now on, my things will be yours, and this jade pendant is yours now." ”

Hearing this, Bai Muyi smiled, then took the jade pendant that Ouyang Hao gave her, and said, "But this is not the first time we have met. ”

"Oh? Have we seen it before? As if thinking of something, he suddenly realized, and said, "Haoyun Pavilion, it turns out that the little eunuch is you." ”

"Well, the first thing I saw at that time was also your jade pendant, from the moment I picked up your jade pendant, I planned to protect you for the rest of my life." Bai Muyi put his face on Ouyang Hao's chest, closed his eyes, and said softly.

"I, Ouyang Hao, will also protect you Bai Muyi for the rest of my life." Ouyang Hao's hand around Bai Muyi tightened, and his tough words sounded.

Autumn has come, the weather is gradually getting colder, but the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming like spring, Qin Liuxuan wore a moon-white and pale pink mixed with the gold edge cloud skirt, stepping on the lotus flower steps slowly wandered around the imperial garden, and finally stopped in front of a peony flower.

Su Ying dyed a silver-patterned embroidered plum blossom skirt trailing the ground, a jacket with a twisted gold and silver thread and smooth silk pattern of plain velvet embroidered jacket dragged to the ground, draped with a silver fox shoulder, the beads did not move and condensed the eyebrows, the lead Hua sold all the innocence, the lotus flower moved, and stepped into the imperial garden.

Lotus stepped over, gently picked a peony flower, put it in his hand to enjoy the play, suddenly looked up, saw Qin Guifei in front of him, and said with a light smile: "Sister has seen Sister Guifei, I haven't seen Sister Guifei for a long time, how can my sister be interested in enjoying the flowers today?" ”

Hearing the sound, she raised her eyes lightly and glanced at Su Yingran, thinking that Su Yingran had gotten close to Yu Lingwei in the past few days, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, this Concubine Ru has never formed a gang, and she had to guard against this.

I was thinking about it, and the peony flower I admired in front of me had already been picked off by a pair of plain hands, I was annoyed, my face was calm, and I smiled beautifully, and said: "Sister, please get up, sister is not a little idle and boring in the palace recently, come to the imperial garden to appreciate this peony in full bloom, this flower, is really peerless." ”

Su Yingran picked up the flower in her hand, put it in front of her, and said with a light smile: "Yes, this flower is indeed peerless, and after it is worthy of being a hundred flowers, other flowers are simply unbearable in front of it." After a pause, the conversation changed, "Just like any concubine in this harem, it is simply unbearable in front of the queen mother." ”

The words entered her ears, the corners of Qin Liuxuan's eyes rose slightly, the phantom was faint, and she did not answer, but secretly wondered, when this Rufei became so smart.

I saw Concubine Ru throw the flower in her hand on the ground, step on it with embroidered shoes, and said lightly: "But unfortunately, sooner or later, this flower will wither and be trampled under the feet of others." ”

Then I saw her turn around and pick a plum blossom, and said lightly: "Although the peony is beautiful, but it is just a passing cloud, can not withstand any wind and waves, flashy, compared to this delicate peony, my sister loves this plum blossom more, although it is inconspicuous, but it exudes a charming fragrance alone, and when the flowers are withered and withered, only this plum blossom is still standing among the flowers, and the flowers at that time are not all surrendered to her feet, and worship them." ”

Qin Liuxuan looked at Su Yingran's actions, and lightly swept her eyebrows, but after hearing her words, Sakura pulled lightly, smiled smartly, and her thoughts flowed, it seems that this Rufei is not very smart, she is arrogant, and she is naturally not lacking in ambition.

It's just that these words are not obvious, is there disrespect for the queen? She, now she just needs to bite the back words of Concubine Ru, and that's fine, as for the rest, heh...

Thinking about it, he hooked his lips and said lightly: "My sister's words really made my sister suspicious, what does my sister mean that only this plum blossom is still standing among the flowers?" Well? This peony, since it is a hundred flowers, just like today's queen mother, can it be, my sister is comparing herself to the plum blossom in your mouth, and I think the queen mother is not as good as you? ”

Su Yingran disagreed, and smiled lightly, "Did my sister say that?" When did my sister compare the queen to a peony? The sister's far-fetched ability can make the younger sister stunned. Wan Er smiled, "Isn't my sister herself thinking so?" ”

Hearing her answer, Qin Liuxuan's lips were pulled by Zhu Ying, smiled slightly, and said: "My sister naturally didn't say that, but in this harem, everyone knows, after this flower, peony, only worthy of the queen's mother, is it possible, sister, you don't think so in your heart?" Or do you know, but you think that the queen is not worthy of this peony? ”

After speaking, Qin Liuxuan paused, smiled more and more deeply, and said: "Sister Rufei, my sister just analyzed your words, but it is not my sister who thinks so." ”

Hearing this, Su Yingran's eyes shrunk, and then a smile spread, and she said with a smile, "My sister never thinks that the queen mother has anything in common with this peony flower, since ancient times, how many literati and scholars think that this peony flower is too delicate and flashy, my sister is familiar with poetry and books, this should be understood, is it possible that my sister thinks that the queen is flashy?" ”

Before Qin Guifei could answer, Su Yingran had already spoken, "People have always compared the queen to a phoenix, but now, my sister wants to forcibly compare the queen to a peony, I don't know sister, what does this mean?" Does my sister think that the queen can only be compared with the peony, but not with the phoenix? ”

Qin Liuxuan raised her eyebrows and smiled sarcastically, "Heh... My sister never knew that my sister's writing was so good? It's just that among these hundred flowers, my sister just made a metaphor for the peony that is the most appropriate for the queen mother, and the queen mother, among this living being, is naturally only a phoenix can be compared with it.

glanced at Qin Guifei and said with a light smile: "Sister thinks, I'm afraid my sister would rather be compared with the phoenix than with this flashy peony, right?" The tone accentuated the words 'flashy', and then, turned around and picked a peony, crushed it in his hand, and said lightly: "This peony is so flashy, presumably my sister has already intended to move this useless thing out of the imperial garden, but unfortunately, some people have a soft spot for it." ”

Sooner or later, she will make Shangguan Yelin become a ghost in the mass grave, and in a few days, she will let Shangguan Yelin disappear with this peony! Now, the solution is one.

'Bang', Su Ying's pretty face suddenly had a palm print, only to see Qin Liuxuan move out of a sarcastic smile, and said coldly, "It's best for my sister to pay attention to her identity when she speaks, but don't forget, the most taboo thing in the harem is to chew the root of the tongue, and besides, I will speculate that other people's minds are not smart, don't let others know is the most intelligent, I don't know if my sister has understood?" ”

Su Yingran stretched out her hand to stroke her cheeks, her ink pupils tightened, the patience she had cultivated in the harem over the years was not in vain, patience was the most subtle means in this world of the jungle.

Thinking about it, from the initial turbulence, he slowly returned to calm, and replied with a smile, "Hearing my sister's words, my sister suddenly became enlightened, and my sister entered the palace late, so naturally I can't compare to my sister's qualifications, so I hope my sister will include more." ”

The sentence of retreating as advance sounds like a soft convincing, but it also satirizes Qin Liuxuan's old qualifications, and at the same time mentions his brilliant years.

Hearing the sarcasm in Concubine Ru's words, Qin Liuxuan was not annoyed, just smiled faintly, and said slowly: "It's good that my sister understands, although it is good to be young in this harem, it also has its drawbacks, some people rely on their youth, and they don't know how thick the sky is, but they don't know that in this harem, it is not the illusory good years that determine the glory, but the qualifications and status." ”

After that, a butterfly stopped on the bun, reached out to pluck it, pinched it to death with his hand, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with his foot, and said indifferently, "What a little thing that doesn't know the height of the sky, dare to climb on the head of the palace, do you really think that you are the protagonist of this hundred flowers?!" In disgust, he crushed his foot a few more times and straightened his bun.

Before Su Yingran could speak, Rou Yi put the hand of the palace maid next to her and said lightly: "Sister enjoy the flowers slowly, sister will leave first." With that, he turned and left.

As soon as she took a few steps, Concubine Ru's voice came, "What my sister said is very true, but my sister doesn't think so, the queen mother is a good harvest of status, years and favors!" Unlike some people, even if they climb to a high position, they never get a single favor, which is really pitiful. "Between the words, the word 'pity' is emphasized.

Qin Liuxuan's figure was obviously stunned, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly: "The queen mother is the phoenix among people, and my sister has never been naïve enough to try to cross her duty, unlike some people who don't know what to do and what to do, and vainly try to replace peonies with plum blossoms." ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves and walked towards Moxuan Palace, leaving behind a pretty back and a faint fragrance.

Looking at Qin Liuxuan's departing back, Su Ying's eyes flashed with a fleeting and cruel light, and a beautiful smile was outlined on her lips, but it was creepy.

The air was a little cool, and in the Chengxian Palace, I saw Yu Lingwei wearing a thin palace dress, always maintaining a posture sitting in front of the dresser, her hair was a little messy, and there were a lot of bloodshot eyes, as if she hadn't slept well recently, so she seemed to be blown by a gust of wind that would blow her haggard and weak body.

Her pupils were like rusty locks, unable to turn any longer, staring at herself in the bronze mirror, her thoughts going back to the past.

In the courtyard, the trees stretched out the branches of yellow and green leaves, gently swaying in the slight spring breeze, and all life was full of vitality.

When the young girl held up her hand and was about to knock on the door, she heard a voice from inside the house, it was Daddy's, what were they discussing, thinking about it, the young girl put down her hand, attached her ear to the sandalwood door, and listened carefully.

"Master, are you saying that the Empress Dowager Qin wants to choose a daughter from our mansion to enter the palace as a concubine?" The graceful woman's countenance showed undisguised joy.

The voice reached the ears of the young girl outside the door, and I saw that the corners of her lips slowly rose, revealing a pretty smile, and continued to listen.

"Well, someone will come to the palace tomorrow, I plan to let Yao'er enter the palace, as for Wei'er, I will find someone who is the right person, this girl is not suitable for entering the palace, if you accidentally provoke a high status one day, you may cause some trouble to the family."

"Master, this is in my heart, I wish that both of their sisters could enter the palace as concubines, but Wei'er has a slight regret in terms of temperament, and it seems that only Yao'er is the most suitable candidate." With that, the graceful woman sighed slowly.

"If Yao'er fights for luck, maybe she can still ascend to the position above the ten thousand people under that person, and then our Yu family will be wiped out! Haha..."

"yes, yes, haha..."

The laughter in the house continued, and the young girl outside the house had already lost the smile on the corner of her mouth, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she resolutely turned away.

Pushing the door in, I saw another young girl in front of the dresser twisting her eyebrows with a pencil and lightly sweeping her eyebrows, looking at the person in the bronze mirror, standing up, and pulling someone over, "Sister, you came just in time, just now my mother sent a lot of jewelry over, you see if you like it, my sister sent you." ”

"Thank you, sister!" The dagger in her hand had already penetrated the abdomen of the young girl, and when she pulled out the dagger, the viscous liquid splashed all over her cheeks, and the warm feeling made her suddenly come back to her senses, and she threw the dagger in her hand tremblingly, and staggered back.

"Sister, you ......" covered her abdomen, the bright red blood couldn't stop flowing outward, and the young girl tightened her eyebrows in pain and gradually fell to the ground.

"Don't blame me, don't blame me, blame you for blocking my way, stealing my glory and wealth, blame yourself... Don't blame me. ”

"Niangniang, Niangniang, Concubine Li." Yue'er saw that Yu Lingwei didn't respond, so she pulled her sleeve and continued to call: "Niangniang, Concubine Li." ”

"She's coming to me, Yue'er, she's coming to me, what to do, what should I do, she's coming to me." Yu Lingwei, who suddenly came back to her senses, grabbed Yue'er without saying anything, her distorted face was frightened, and her breathing seemed a little short.

"Niangniang, what's wrong with you, who came to you, you tell Yue'er, Niangniang, don't scare the slave." Yue'er looked at the somewhat hideous face that was close to her, and she was so frightened that she cried a little in her words.

"She's coming for me, my sister is coming for me, I'm going to hide, hide, don't tell her I'm here, don't tell her." As he spoke, he leaned over to find a place to hide.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you, don't scare the slave, Niangniang." Yue'er hurriedly went to help Ling Wei but was waved away with one hand, "Don't come, don't come over, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll go hide, hide." ”

"Niangniang, what's wrong with you......" Looking at the high-spirited Concubine Li before, she was scurrying around in the room like a madman at this time, and Yue'er's helpless and distressed words were marked with obvious crying.

In autumn, the leaves fell one by one, with a hint of regret, they swirled and fell, and a cold wind blew, Yu Wenming tightened his cloak and accelerated his pace towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Your Majesty, the queen, Yuwen Gongzi asks to see." Hua Mujin stepped in and said respectfully.

"Let him in." Ouyang Xuanyue opened her lips slightly, and the words sounded, his voice was always magnetic with a magnetic voice, warm but cold, quiet and indifferent.

Then, Yu Wenming stepped in and bowed lightly, "I plan to leave Tianqi, and I came here this time to inform you of this matter." His eyes have the blue of space and the depth of the ocean, but there is a faint sadness hidden in his eyes.

The words entered his ears, Ouyang Xuanyue was unclear about this, and her thin lips opened lightly, "Leave Tianqi?" Where to? There is always nothing to hide, let alone his sultry mellow voice.

"Naturally, I want to go back to Heran to relieve the emperor's worries, and the current situation is tense, so I have to hurry up and return to Heran to persuade my father to withdraw from the army." Between the words, Yu Wenming's eyes revealed a wordless firmness, and his perfect facial features embellished his handsome face.

"Oh?" The corners of his thin, long eyes slightly picked at his sideburns, "You don't have to go back to Helan, report to the border, your father has set up camp a hundred miles from the border, so that he can attack at any time." As his gaze wandered, the ink-colored pupils burst out from time to time.

"What? This old horseman is moving so fast, isn't the war about to break out, in addition to my father, there is also a Qingyi country in the east, and it is also aimed at Tianqi tiger, I will go to the old horseman, to let him withdraw the army, even if he is admonished to death, he will not hesitate. Yu Wenming frowned, his expression a little solemn.

Hearing this, Shangguan Ye Lin interjected, "You don't have to, you should understand your father's temperament, since he dares to do this, it means that he has already let go, and I don't know why he did whatever it took to make him do anything." "There was a faint blue flash in the eyes, and the long, thick eyelashes made the eyes seem to surround the clouds, hazy, unfathomable, mysterious, and seductive.

"Speaking of which, my father's letter to me mentioned that he wanted to rescue me from the emperor's hands, and he also asked the emperor to dispel the idea of making Heran a vassal state of Tianqi." Yu Wenming's eyes, which were originally bright and so blue, suddenly became cold and shining, as if he was thinking about something.

"Oh? How did your father know about these two things, but I am afraid that someone will interfere with them, causing the snipe and clam to fight, so as to benefit the fisherman. Ouyang Xuanyue's quiet ink-colored pupils, with a fluttering aura, contained turbulent flames at this time, emitting an irresistible charm.

"Well, I think so too, Your Majesty, Tianqi has just gone through a big battle, and it is already evenly matched against Qingyi, but if my father and the emperor intervene sideways, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I have to go, even if I don't move the old horseman, I can achieve the effect of delaying the army and buy time for the emperor." Between the words, his eyes glanced at Shangguan Ye Lin, and there were too many incomprehensible meanings in his deep eyes.

Yu Wenming glanced at it, naturally he didn't avoid Ouyang Xuanyue, only to see Ouyang Xuanyue stretch out his hand and hug Shangguan Ye Lin tightly, and said, "Are you sure you want to stand on Tianqi's side?" On the other side, it's your biological father, don't you regret it? ”

"Your Majesty, can't you trust me?" Yu Wenming's persistent but blurred eyes, just one glance, can make people willing to indulge in his deep pupils, unable to extricate themselves.

"No, I'm just afraid you'll be embarrassed." The eyebrows were lightly raised, and the words spoken were light and light.

Hearing his words, Yu Wenming smiled faintly, bowed his head slightly, and said, "I will leave immediately to ensure that I will not fail in my mission." With that, he turned and left.

"Do you say that Yu Wenming can persuade the Helan Emperor?" Shangguan Ye Lin, who was nestled in Ouyang Xuanyue's arms, wrapped his waist around him, and slowly raised his eyes, his eyes reflected like a water spring, with an irresistible charm.

"Emperor Helan is very stubborn, and what he believes will not be easily changed, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to persuade him." The narrow eyes were like dustless water, lying under the crooked eyebrows, making them look dark and deep.

Thinking of the incident in Jinghai Palace, Shangguan Ye Lin's arm around Ouyang Xuanyue's waist gradually tightened, clinging tightly to his strong chest, feeling his heartbeat and warm breath, "Xuanyue, you will be good to me for the rest of your life, right?" ”

"I, Ouyang Xuanyue, will be good to you for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life." Lin'er, in this life and this life, I, Ouyang Xuanyue, only love you alone, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life, for the rest of my life.

In autumn, the sky is full of stars, like the Milky Way paved with fine quicksand lying on the cyan sky, but Chengxian Palace does not seem to be shrouded in such a beautiful night at all, but the cold breath lingers for a week.

In the dark room, Yu Lingwei in her sleep frowned, her face was very ugly, and her forehead was densely covered with fine beads of sweat.
