Zhu Di looked at me with interest, "A palace maid, you actually take her to heart?" ”

"A palace maid? There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, 3,000 are favored in one, from a small palace maid, climbed to the position of the concubine, everyone said that she was going to be sealed soon, is the emperor ......"

Zhu Di suddenly smiled, from the time he arrived at the inn to bring me back, he had always had a cold face, but at this time he smiled, smiled sincerely and smiled brightly, a pair of eyes just looked at me like that, and did not speak. I was a little furrowed by his inexplicable smile, and I didn't understand what he meant.

He stood for a while and said, "Since you are already a dead person, it is inconvenient to see people, Li Xing takes care of you alone, and it is always inconvenient, so let Concubine Lu help serve you together." ”

With that, he walked out, not knowing what to do.

I thought he was just trying to plug me, but I didn't expect that the next day, he really brought Lu Yunyi here.

Lu Yunyi followed behind Zhu Di, following in unison, cautious, without the appearance of a concubine at all, even her head was lowered, so that when she raised it and saw me at first glance, she was taken aback, covered her chest, took a few steps back, and her face became pale, "Ah! Ghost! Ghost ~ The Emperor ......"

She didn't care about her usual reserve, and suddenly shrank behind Zhu Di, Zhu Di let go of her body, and she was still trembling. After a long time, I had the courage to raise my head, saw Zhu Di's calm face, and looked at me a few more times, full of surprise, "Quan...... Powerful concubines? ”

Zhu Di said lightly, "The noble concubine is dead." ”

Lu Yunyi's face was pale after being frightened, "That...... Who's this? ”

"Powerful concubine." Zhu Di replied, "The dead concubine is resurrected, I don't plan to let outsiders know, you and Li Xing are the only people who know, you will come to serve the concubine every day in the future, and you must not leak the slightest rumor." ”

Lu Yunyi obviously hasn't reacted yet, but her kind of surrender and cowardice towards Zhu Di made you reflexive, and nodded numbly, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

I also wondered in my heart, is this what it looks like to be favored?

Zhu Di usually works in the outer room of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I live in the inner room, and every day Lu Yunyi will send food boxes and clothing supplies, so that outsiders will be even more popular Lu Yunyi is favored and has no way, and she goes in and out of the Heart Cultivation Palace every day, and even the emperor's daily diet is handled by herself.

Being in the middle of it, hearing these rumors again, thinking back to the words of Concubine Lu's favor that I heard in the previous three years, I can't help but be a little confused, is it ...... A few years ago, the so-called favor that Lu Yunyi received was nothing more than that? All of them are seen by outsiders, just like lotus seeds, which are smooth on the outside but bitter on the inside.

Lu Yunyi was obviously instructed by Zhu Di, she rarely talked to me on weekdays, and of course, she also knew that I didn't want to talk to her. However, her service skills have been known for a long time. When eating, put the chopsticks in boiling water to wash, wipe with a silk handkerchief, sprinkle the wooden bucket with rose petals when bathing, the water temperature is more than a point is hot, less than a point is cold, the master is extreme, even dressing and shoes do not need me to move half a finger.

At the beginning, I was not used to her kind of service, even in the Lianyi Palace, there was a group of palace maids and grandmothers, and I tried my best to do what I could, but Lu Yunyi did it without complaints, neither humble nor arrogant, which gave me the illusion that she was born to do this.

"A palace maid." Zhu Di's words linger in my heart from time to time, but ...... If he really only regarded Lu Yunyi as a palace maid, why did he let her rise to the top and finally sit on the seat of a concubine?

Sometimes when I look at Lu Yunyi, I can't help but be impulsive, wanting to ask her what is hidden in this, but I know that she won't say anything, so I can't help it.

I asked for a detailed topographic map of Beiping from Zhu Di, roughly found the location, and began to draw the prototype of the new palace. At first, he was worried about Dai Qin's situation day and night, and when he saw that Zhu Di didn't look like he would break his promise and trouble him, he gradually relaxed. With the tape measure pen and ink all day long, it turned out to be much more interesting than the previous days.

Within a month, I drew the prototype of the entire new palace, and when Zhu Di came to see it, he was obviously taken aback. His original intention was just to embarrass me again before I left, but when he saw my drawings, his eyes lit up, "This...... Did you draw it all? ”

I nodded, "Except for Li Xing and Lu Guifei, I haven't seen anyone else, the two of them, who will do this?" ”

Zhu Di stared intently at the entire picture scroll and pointed, "This is Jingshan?" ”

"Yes, standing on top of Jingshan, you can overlook the entire new palace." I followed Zhu Di's eyes and pointed on the paper, "This is the noon gate, to the Taihe Palace, the Great Third Palace, the Hou Third Palace, and the Imperial Garden, all on one axis, and all on both sides are symmetrical." ”

Zhu Di was stunned, "Will you do this?" Why didn't I know before? ”

I paused, a little afraid to say too much, so I pretended to be deep, "Not every strength has to be shown to you. With that, he sat down and said no more.

Zhu Di was still immersed in the shock of the drawing, and he didn't notice that I was wrong, he crouched in front of the desk, "I have long wanted to start construction, but I have never been satisfied with the drawings given by Kuaixiang." ”

"Kuaixiang? The son of the carpenter's chief, Kuaifu? ”

"That's him."

"Then you call him, my drawings are also hastily drawn, there is only a prototype without charm, and I still need his help." I looked at Zhu Di, and in the future, "I still say to the outside world that he designed it." Also, your mausoleum, I chose this place. ”

I pointed to a location on the map, and Zhu Di looked at it, "The southern foot of Tianshou Mountain?" ”

I don't know what the benefits are here, but I just remember that the location of the Changling Tomb is here, and I am afraid that Zhu Di will ask, so I said, "This is a place where dragon qi gathers, a treasure land of feng shui, and your mausoleum is built here, which will definitely protect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations." ”

Zhu Di finally raised his head and looked at me again, "Do you like it here?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded, "You were worshiped by all people during your lifetime, and you will be worshiped by everyone after your death." ”

Zhu Di's eyes were a little confused, "Why do you know?" ”

"I just know."

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of Tianshou Mountain, "Then here." ”

After Kuaixiang came, my drawings were more detailed and professional. Kuaixiang was a young man in his early twenties, very thoughtful and very smart, and when I told him what I thought, he was able to turn all the words I spit out into patterns and put them on paper, so that after another month, we basically drew all the design drawings of the entire palace and the imperial tomb. During this period, Zhu Di also participated in many discussions, pointing out many shortcomings and his ideas. When the drawings were finally finalized, I was a little reluctant.

Zhu Di took the drawings and immediately decided to start construction. The day after the construction began, I had nothing to do and resumed my old life.

Knowing that it was time to leave, he said to Lu Yunyi, "You go and invite the emperor, I have something to say to him." ”

Lu Yunyi was stunned, "After the resurrection of the noble concubine, she never took the initiative to ask to see the emperor. ”

"You're never nosy, either." I didn't even look at her.

Lu Yunyi stood beside me and smiled slightly, "That day, when I saw the noble concubine return to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I thought you were going to rebuild the old friendship with the emperor and spread the good story again, but I looked at it coldly for the past two months, but I didn't expect the two of you to be even more rusty than before." The concubine Niangniang is busy making paintings these days, designing the emperor's new palace and mausoleum in the future. The emperor didn't want to tell the world about the resurrection of his mother, right...... Concubine Niangniang, don't plan to stay in this palace for a long time? ”

I looked at Lu Yunyi, trying to find clues on her face to find out what she was thinking, but I couldn't find anything, "You have been favored for more than three years, I'm afraid that only you can understand the taste in your heart, and the emperor's side is like this, like a person drinking water, he knows his own warmth and coldness." ”

Lu Yunyi smiled helplessly, "Outsiders may not know, but Niangniang should understand everything in the past two months." What the emperor told me that day was that he would allow me to be a concubine, and let me have infinite scenery outside, but I couldn't confide in half a word. But since the emperor asked me to serve you, I probably don't want to hide it from you anymore. ”

"Why on earth does the emperor do this?"

"The queen mother mutilated you and the princess, even if the emperor knows it, he can't do it, there is no evidence, nothing can be decided, do you think, who told the emperor all this evidence?"

Lu Yunyi said as he picked up a cup of tea and handed it to me, "I'm afraid that I will have to talk deeply, and I will invite my mother to drink saliva to moisten my throat." ”

I picked up the tea and took two sips, "It was you who told the emperor that you betrayed the queen, I know this." ”

"But think about it, I pushed you, how could the emperor let me go? So while giving me gorgeous favors, I was left alone to swallow loneliness and helplessness. Honor, luck, and sealing, all of them are made for outsiders to see, and the emperor has not even moved a finger of mine so far. ”

I looked at Lu Yunyi and couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth, "How could it be...... How so? Even if you push me, you are under the instigation of the queen, and you have to do it. Revealing all the queen's crimes can already make up for your mistakes. There is no need for the emperor to be like this, while making you glorious, he will make you miserable. ”

"But...... If not, how can I give the queen a daily dose, the chronic poison? Lu Yunyi looked at his palm, the fingers were slender and delicate, not like a hand that would do bad things at all.

"Chronic poison? Empress? "My head was dumbfounded," you mean...... "<."
