I don't know how long I sang, Shenyue Haozhe's eyes slowly closed during the singing, and gradually fell asleep, and Li Anyue, who was also hypnotized, was sitting in front of the bed, and his voice slowly became smaller as he sang, and then he lay on the side of the bed and fell asleep deeply.

Shenyue Haoqing stood outside the door and heard the movement in the room gradually getting smaller, and then there was no movement for a long time, so he pushed the door and walked in, and sure enough, he saw Li Anyue lying on the side of the bed with his whole body bent over, falling asleep in a difficult position.

Shenyue Haoqing walked to her side and squatted down, although her appearance has changed, but since she knew that it was her, if you look carefully, you can still see the shadow of her original appearance, those eyes have not changed at all, Shenyue Haoqing looked at her sleeping and remembered the time she was in the palace before, and found that she was asleep The same as before, her mouth was always gently pursed.

Li Anyue's current posture is not very comfortable, and her eyelashes tremble slightly from time to time because of occasional frowns, Shenyue Haoqing was worried that she would wake up, so she reached out and clicked on her sleeping hole, and then picked her up, passed through the bead curtain, and hugged her to the rattan chair next to her, which is the place where the maid who usually keeps vigil waits for Shenyue Haozhe to rest after sleeping, so that it can be more convenient to serve him.

Shenyue Haoqing gently put her on the rattan chair, adjusted her sleeping position, and took out a quilt from the box next to her to cover her. At this time, Li Anyue's head was tilted to the side, revealing a white neck, Shenyue Haoqing saw the thin lines on her neck, and found that it was a thin film that was extremely close to the skin, and it was usually covered under the collar, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't find it at all, "This is your mask." ”

Shenyue Haoqing smiled and stretched out her hand to take it off for her, but she stretched out and stopped hesitantly, and turned to caress her face, "How much are you still hiding from this king?" ”

Li Anyue in her sleep didn't notice it at all, but slept peacefully. Shenyue Haoqing looked at the half-lit candle, took off his mask, leaned over and gently left a kiss on Li Anyue's lips.

"My lips are still so soft." Shenyue Haozhe laughed triumphantly, and kissed a few more times reluctantly before putting on his mask and blowing out the candle and walking out.

Shenyue Haoqing out of Changchun Palace, when he walked to the north gate, it was already the middle of the day, the moon hung high in the treetops, he slowly paced to the outside of the palace, a purple robe was shining by the moonlight, and the clothes were blown up by the evening breeze and fluttered in the air, leaving a burst of Qionghua fragrance. At this time, Shenyue Haoxuan came from a distance shaking a fan. "The fourth brother is really interested, still admiring the moon in the palace so late?"

"Didn't the second emperor come back from outside the palace so late?" Shenyue Haoqing stopped and looked at him.

"I have something to do, although the fourth brother is also a prince, but after all, he has already left the palace to live, and if he stays in the palace so late, I am afraid that he will leave someone to talk about, and this is still a harem." Shenyue Haozhe's eyes showed a sly look.

"Brother Lao has bothered, but this king has been authorized by his father, and there is still a king's mansion in the palace, so there is no need to worry about it at this point." Shenyue Hao said lightly and planned to leave, and left a sentence before leaving, "It's the second emperor brother, the father has always opposed the prince going out privately, and it's so late, I hope the second emperor brother will pay more attention to the influence, otherwise it will ruin the father's good impression of the emperor." ”

"Thank you for your concern...... Hmph, it's just a legacy of evil, see how long you can be proud! The smile on Shenyue Haoxuan's face turned into hatred after he disappeared from sight, gritting his teeth, brushing his sleeves and turning into the darkness.

At this time, in the grove southwest of the palace, two people were hidden behind trees and whispered.

"Thank you for your hard work." A gentle male voice grows softer in the night.

The woman opposite the man bowed her head and replied, "Everything is the slave's willingness." After that, she raised her head, most of the moonlight was blocked by the leaves, but she could still see her face clearly, it was Shen Yueyin, who was about to be named a nobleman, and the person imprinted in her soft eyes was Shenyue Haotian in a water blue brocade robe.

"Although it is something that many women desire to be a woman who can become the favored woman of the Son of Heaven, after all, this matter is not of your own volition, and I know it."

Shen Yueyin's eyes flickered in the faint moonlight, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can understand the feelings of the slave and maid, the slave and maid already feel very honored, the slave and the maid are His Royal Highness's people, and they should share their worries for His Highness, and have no regrets." ”

Shenyue Haotian smiled slightly when he heard this, "The night after tomorrow, my father will hold a banquet in Tianhua Palace, you don't need to be too amazing, just follow the level of the talent exam, so that you can protect your identity to the greatest extent." ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

"The woman you brought to my attention some time ago,."

"Yes, her name is Luo Yan, she won the first place in the talent exam, she came out of the Qin Art Garden, I heard that she is a distant niece of a seven-grade petty official, and the slave maid is also a little suspicious of her identity because of her outstanding talent, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found anything?"

Shenyue Haotian nodded, "That's right, I later sent someone to check on that Anxi official Gu Siming, and found that he was just a mediocre ordinary petty official, and there was nothing suspicious." As for the woman named Luo Yan, it was found that she only appeared at the Gu family half a year ago, holding a letter from Gu Siming's father, claiming to be Gu Siming's distant niece, because her father had a romantic personality when he was young, and there were letters to prove it, Gu Siming did not have too many doubts. Luo Yan didn't move into the Gu family, saying that she was not used to being with many people, but she just went to the Gu family to eat on time every day, and from time to time she would give some silver taels to supplement their lives, and the people of the Gu family had no objection to her, on the contrary, the comments seemed to be quite good. ”

"Well, the slave maid has also heard that the aunts of the Qin Art Garden are very praising her, and the other servants are not only a little envious and jealous of her appearance and talent, but they can't even say anything bad about her, whether it is to treat people or do things, she is very generous and polite." Shen Yueyin also frowned, trying to figure out what was strange in it.

"Although there are doubts about her identity now, but there is no definite evidence, I hope she is not from the other side, if so, you have to be more careful to deal with it, who else is more noteworthy among the chosen people?"

Shen Yueyin lowered her head and replied "Yes", and thought for a while, "Most of the people who were selected this time are the daughters of rich and noble families or officials, and the slaves and maids have only seen them in a hurry in the talent exam, and the slaves and maids think that what needs to be paid attention to at present is Yuwen Jiaojiao's second daughter, Yuwen Jiaojiao, Yuwentao's eldest daughter has become the second imperial concubine, if Yuwen Jiaojiao is favored by the emperor again, I am afraid it will have an impact on His Royal Highness." ”

"Yuwen Tao......" Shenyue Haotian heard this name, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, but then it turned away as if it had never been like it had never been, "Well, what you said makes sense, who else?" ”

"Li Lizi, the daughter of Envoy Li, and Tong Yuxian, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, these two women accounted for two of the top five in the talent exam, and the slave maid heard that this Envoy Li and the Shangshu of the Military Department are both from the side of the Four Princes, and Li Anyue ......"

Shenyue Haotian heard Li Anyue's name and raised her eyebrows inadvertently, "Li Anyue, as far as I know, she doesn't seem to have been selected, wasn't she selected to be a maid in Changchun Palace?" ”

"Yes, but it is precisely because of this that the slave maid has concerns, giving up the opportunity to be favored by the emperor and choosing to go to Changchun Palace to be an ordinary maid, it would be strange to make this kind of decision."

The corners of Shenyue Haotian's mouth couldn't help but curl, "Indeed, it does make people feel strange." ”

Shen Yueyin thought that his smile was acquiescing to his guess, so he continued, "And before this, Li Anyue had saved the twelve princes, so she was very appreciated by the virtuous concubine Niangniang, and successfully attracted the emperor's attention in the talent test Shanghai, and I heard that she was still quite close to the fourth prince, so the slave maid ......."

"Prince Ben still thinks you're friends with her." Shenyue Haotian listened to the smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"The slave and maid serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, and in the eyes of the slave and maid, all those who hinder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are the enemies of the slave and maid."

Shenyue Haotian glanced at her deeply, "As far as I know, Li Anyue is different from others, so you don't have to worry about her." ”

Shen Yueyin was silent for a while, "Please forgive the slave and maid for saying more, the slave and maid heard that His Highness and Li Anyue seem to have intersections, but I just want to remind Your Highness not to ......"

"Presumptuous!" Shenyue Haotian shouted in a low voice, "Prince Ben didn't expect you to have the same knowledge as those ordinary women!" ”

Shen Yueyin knelt down, the hands in her sleeves clenched, and she silently twisted her sleeves, "Your Highness is angry, the slave maid is just worried that His Highness has made a mistake because of someone." ”

Shenyue Haotian glanced at her, knowing that her tone was too heavy, but she still only glanced at her and said lightly, "Get up, know your loyalty to His Highness, but that doesn't mean that you have the right to interfere with His Highness's actions." ”

Shen Yueyin bit her lip and slowly spit out, "Yes, the slave knows her mistake." ”

"Your Highness will not let anyone get in the way of the way." Shenyue Haotian looked up at the moon looming in the treetops and whispered, Shen Yueyin looked at him with a light in his eyes, his eyes shook in a complicated way, and finally lowered his head again.

The two stood speechless for a while, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves in their ears, blowing up the hair and clothes of the two, Shenyue Haoqing took the lead and said, "Okay, the night is cold, you should go back early, it will be easy to be discovered later." ”

"Yes, the slave and maid will retire first." Shen Yueyin saluted him as usual and turned around and walked out of the woods, her slender back quickly disappeared into the night, and Shenyue Haotian turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
