In sharp contrast to the tense atmosphere of the outer courts, Rong Yue's stepmother, Pattaya, got up early and dressed magnificently, so that she happily rode into the palace with Jue Luo.

The Empress Dowager sat in Cining Palace, appeasing the ladies who came from all walks of life to congratulate, she knew the emperor's ability, and was not very worried about the emperor's deployment, but felt sorry for the dragon body of the emperor and grandson.

Since the death of Ma Jiayun'er's eighth elder brother in mid-February, the emperor has a cold heart, and the previous government affairs are busy, so he has not entered the harem for more than half a month, and he has not turned over the sign.

Listening to Li Dequan's report, the emperor read the newspaper of the palace for several days in a row, and before he could sleep for an hour, he had to get up again to go to the morning court.

Ten fingers bite and bite, not to mention this grandson whom she gives the most and owes the most?

So the Empress Dowager took advantage of the temptation of the princesses to reveal the wind, and in April, she began to select show girls among the women of the Eight Banners to enter the palace.

This really made many female relatives cheer, because of the three years of national filial piety, their own girls are almost twenty years old, and they dare not allow their relatives, mainly their own girls are mediocre, and it is basically impossible to enter the palace to accept favor.

Some people are happy because their unsuccessful grandson may finally marry a daughter-in-law, and finally they don't have to worry about seeing their great-grandson before kicking their legs.

A few families were happy and a few were sad, and when Jue Luo sent the news back to Rong Yue, she was holding an embroidery in her hand, and the silver needle pierced into her fingertips, but she didn't realize it.

The so-called two masters don't bother with anything, since there is Fucha Yanlin as the middleman, Rong Yue, who is upset, naturally asks for help.

Yan Lin looked at her anxious look, couldn't help sighing, and carefully sent her henchmen and servants to the palace to report the news.

Seeing Fucha Yanlin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Rong Yue also understood that who would be willing to get involved in such a risky matter, thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel two more sorrows in his heart.

The green of the capital in the spring of March is leisurely, the flowers are dazzling, the fish leaps and the birds sing, and all things are glorious, and the beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye.

Yan Lin invited Rong Yue to go out, but the two drunkards didn't mean to drink, and they didn't have any thoughts.

This was originally the official road, and then abandoned because of the diversion, the plum blossom hexagonal pavilion that was originally built in the middle of the mountainside to do the use of the long pavilion has long been deserted, the bluestone tea seat is covered with climbing vines, and the paint on the leaky window is also mottled early.

Seeing the number of horsemen coming from a distance, Fucha Yanlin excused herself to look at the stele forest not far away, and took Lingque away, leaving Ning Lan to wait not far away.

Chang Ning jumped off the horse, handed the black snake whip in his hand and the reins to his entourage, and was stunned for a moment, then walked quickly.

Rong Yue saw his figure from afar, and for a while his heart was sweet and sad, as if he was hanging a person on the stove to suffer, standing there frowning and waiting, his eyes were not instantaneous.

Chang Ning treated her as lenient and obedient as before, looked at Rong Yue's face, and saw that she was in good spirits, and her tone revealed two points of worry: "There is an epidemic in Beijing for a while, you just stay at home and run around." ”

Rong Yue shook his head, he didn't listen to his advice at all, what else did he care about this time, he only grabbed his cuffs tightly, and looked forward to Ai Ai: "The palace is going to be drafted, do you know?" ”

Chang Ning saw her point it out directly, and she was also melancholy in her heart, but she didn't want to show her emotions in front of her sweetheart, so she only hummed lightly.

"If you are sincere to me, you should always think of a way." Rong Yue saw him say this lightly, and couldn't help but worry even more, she couldn't help but be very shy, gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to speak, and unconsciously, two lines of tears ran down her cheeks.

Chang Ning saw her wearing an apricot-colored pipa placket plain gown, a moon-white pleated skirt, and only two plain silk flowers on the loose cloud bun, her face was clear, and at this moment tears were rolling, and her heart hurt as if she had been pricked by a needle, he touched the placket of his clothes, and hurriedly forgot to bring a handkerchief, so he had to use the cuffs of his close-fitting middle coat to wipe away her tears.

Rong Yue looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes, her eyes were clear, her lips were thin and thick, she had heard people say that this was a look of heavy desire and thin affection, and she couldn't help but worry about it, for fear that he would stop and ignore himself: "How do you think of a way, ah?" ”

Her eyes were so clear, it made Chang Ning's heart burn like fire, he seemed to have ten thousand words in his chest, but he didn't know where to start, opened his lips, and only felt that his mouth was salty and bitter.

Rong Yue saw that his face was getting darker and darker, and couldn't help but urge again.

Chang Ning couldn't hide his irritability, and said as if complaining: "I have no way." ”

Hearing this, Rong Yue only felt terrified, couldn't help but take a few steps back, stared at him for a moment, his eyes were full of disappointment and surprise, and he choked up and wanted an affirmative answer again: "Then what do you mean...... Do you want me to enter the palace as a concubine? ”

She only felt that she had a long dream, and when she woke up from the dream, her body was cold, and she laughed sarcastically at the thin lover in front of her, and cried: "Since Prince Gong doesn't have a long-term plan, then why provoke me, it's better to get out of the way early." ”

The voice is soft, but it is straightforward and explicit, leaving no face, and I only feel that these words are thin and sharp, scraped on the face, and it hurts spicy.

Rong Yue just blurted out impulsively, and at this moment, seeing that the black light in Chang Ning's eyes was becoming more and more faint, and his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, he knew that he must be angry, but the words were out of his lips, how could he regret it, she just kept silent and saw what Chang Ning had to say.

Chang Ning is no better than Rong Yue at the moment, just for this tricky matter at the moment, he has put off everything in the general again and again, he carefully arranged, secretly protected, and did not think that he would be exchanged for her such a thin face, he felt cold, and tried to slow down his voice and said: "About the draft, you go and beg your sister, there are unwritten rules in the palace, and the sister of a high-ranking concubine can be exempted from the draft." "As long as she puts this matter off for a while, when he comes back from his military exploits, he can always think about it in the long run.

Exempt from the draft? Rong Yue was stunned, and his eyes widened in fear, for fear that he had heard it wrong, the wives of the royal family have always been married from the show girls, if he does not run, then it is impossible to become his wife in the future, thinking of this, his heart is becoming more and more desolate and asked: "Then you go and ask the Empress Dowager to make my sister the queen?" ”

Chang Ning was a little bored, and frowned: "How can these two things be compared? ”

Rong Yue retorted and asked: "You and I both know that this matter is extremely difficult, but why do you have to ask my sister, why don't you want to ask the Empress Dowager for grace?" “

Because, because he is not qualified...... Thinking of this, Chang Ning only felt that his heart was immersed in bitterness, the things that he buried deep in his heart, the reasons why he couldn't blurt out, the clear and cloudy sky, what was he worth, but a little ant, he was not convinced, he didn't want to mention it, the buried memories rushed out of the atrium and sprouted wisps of green vines, and he roared in annoyance: "You are endless!" Don't you have a brain? Chang Ning snorted and continued: "This matter is difficult for me, but it is easy for her, and there is no trace, at most ......."

At most, because my shameless sister angered the Queen Mother, she couldn't be the queen? Seeing him like this, Rong Yue only thought that he was disgusted with himself, thinking of his sister's tired face, the endless account books and sundries of Yikun Palace, Rong Yue only felt pity in his heart, and he didn't feel tears rolling down: "Prince Gong is also tired when he thinks about it...... It's enough to take a courtier's daughter to relieve boredom, so I use such a word...... Thinking that I came today, it was just a humiliation! ”

Chang Ning heard him say this, and couldn't help complaining that he couldn't help but be angry at her, and couldn't help but be angry that she was thinking about her sister wholeheartedly, and didn't care about him at all, so she only held back her temperament and said: "Even if you can't be the queen, with your sister's background, there will always be a place for her in the Sixth Palace, and the royal brother is very affectionate, and if he treats her badly in this regard, he will make up for it elsewhere, which may not be a good thing." ”

"You don't understand...... "I don't understand that Dongzhu sacrificed too much for their younger siblings for Niu Colu's family...... Rong Yue remembered those unbearable pasts, remembered her sister's thin body and tired face, and couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her face, crying silently.

Don't understand what? Chang Ning thought in her heart, she values the queen's position like this? "You can't force things in the world, so why ask too much?"

Rong Yue saw that he had no previous postponement and obedience, and his words were full of ridicule, and his eyes widened and he said angrily: "What do you mean by this? ”“

Chang Ning was extremely depressed in his heart, and said sarcastically: "The queen's foreign family, the glory of the uncle's mansion, is naturally moving. ”

Rong Yue only felt very aggrieved in her heart, and defended: "You actually see me as the kind of person who is not greedy enough, if it is not mine, I will not want it at all." ”

"Then stop thinking about it?" Changning Road.

Rong Yue choked for a while, but hated him for not thinking about himself, and cried: "Okay, I just want glory, I'm selfish, so what? You keep saying that you care about me, you just want to make me happy, but you don't want to do anything for me, in this case, whether we have parted ways since then, we sisters always have our own way. ”

Chang Ning was only afraid that she also had Dongzhu's thoughts in her heart, and she was anxious and angry, so she pulled her cloak and said in a reckless manner: "What way?" With your own body? “

Syllable! Rong Yue raised her hand and slapped her, and she was stunned the moment she put her hand down, since she was a child, she was taught by her mother, she didn't slap people in the face, and she didn't expose her shortcomings when she scolded people, but she was a seven-foot man like him? She was afraid that even the last trace of love between the two of them would be gone, she stared at the slightly red fingertips, her heart was in chaos, and thousands of emotions were condensed, and she wanted to drive people crazy.

The hot pain on his face, but he couldn't withstand the colic pain in his chest, Chang Ning couldn't speak, bit his steel teeth, and turned around to leave.

Rong Yue unconsciously reached out to grab it, and at that time, a gust of wind passed, and the Naning silk jacquard cloak was wiped from her palm, she opened her mouth, but saw Chang Ning's words as cold as ice: "Your sister is in love with power, and she does not hesitate to take advantage of the fire, I am not interested in accompanying her crazy." The words were full of determination, telling Rong Yue to stay in place, motionless, biting her lip stubbornly, not letting herself cry, not letting the waves of emotions break through the last trace of dignity and reason.

He insulted himself and belittled his sister, Rong Yue repeatedly churned these two sentences in his heart, he was so resolute, he didn't want himself, he was a bastard! It wasn't until she saw the man galloping on his horse that she couldn't hold back her howl and fell to the ground crying.

She recalled that when she was a child, she accidentally fell, her knee broke the skin, and she couldn't stop crying, so Eniang held her on her knee, while gently blowing the wound, and said softly: "Good girl, the injury in the future is more painful than this, and there is no Eniang by your side, how can it be good." ”

She was far from understanding the regret and helplessness in Eniang's eyes; Half a month later, E-Niang was seriously ill, but Ama was under house arrest in the Zongren Mansion because of the Aobai case, and finally E-Niang went to a distant place that she couldn't touch, and it rained a lot, like the tears of their siblings, he remembered Ama when he returned home in a hurry, lost, and painful.

Now she finally explored the unspeakable pain, but she couldn't help it.

Such pain, such an inexplicable pain, the grief that she wanted to grasp but watched passing, wanted to devour her small body.

But said that Zhang Dasheng was guarding the hidden place over there, and saw the master striding with a black face, snatching the reins and recognizing the stirrups on the horse, so he drove the horse like crazy, and he was busy following in the rear, but the master's mount was a good horse with sweat and blood, and the master rushed as if he didn't want to die, and he couldn't find anyone after a while.

He was in a hurry, and suddenly saw a horse coming from the dust, he put his hand on the pergola and looked over, and saw a blue-clothed knight on the jujube red horse, not his own prince or who?

He was about to open his mouth to ask, but he saw that the master turned back along the original road, and hurriedly rode his horse to follow, and after a while, he fell on the next journey, fortunately, he knew the route, and went to the half-mountain pavilion, but he saw the back of the master Xiao Suo, and stood by the pavilion with concentration.

He pondered the master's thoughts, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to humble yourself and chase people back?" ”

For a long time, he thought that the back in front of him was just a sculpture in the sunset, and then he heard a very depressed breath, and the words "no need to ......" were full of desolation and helplessness.

In the ten thousand rays of light, there was a faint trace of tears dripping on the stone seat covered with climbing vines, and it soon disappeared.

The pavilion was silent, ticking into his ears, Zhang Dasheng looked carefully, and saw that there was a thick red liquid dripping on the ground of the dust, he followed the voice up, only to see a clenched blood-mottled fist, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Master! ”

Chang Ning raised his hand and beckoned, Zhang Dasheng was in the army, knowing that the military order was like a mountain, so he had to hold his fists and withdraw from the pavilion.
