He Yanzhi looked at her back and bypassed the path and walked in the direction of Penglai Pavilion.

The figure disappeared at the turn, and it was not until she was completely out of sight that He Yanzhi slowly turned around.

His steps were brisk, and there was a faint smile on his face, which was particularly handsome and moving under the sunset.

The sun finally sank, the cold wind swept by, and the forest was silent.

Behind the bushes, two figures who had been hiding for a while quietly walked out.

The two of them looked at each other with shocked expressions.

One of them leaned closer to the other's ear and whispered, "Do you think the Imperial Monarch has been strange lately?" ”

The other person was asked by her, and also frowned and responded: "Huashang, have you noticed that I almost saw the emperor as another person just now?" “

The person who spoke before seemed to think of something, his face changed, and his tone was surprised: "Could it be the one?" "So you feel the same way as me," Qi Qi exchanged glances, and the man seemed to be relieved, "Huashang, you said that since we all have the same opinion, do you want to find a chance to mention it to Your Majesty?" "Save it, save it, hurry up and dispel this idea," the other person looked left and right, and then raised his forehead and said, "Last time, Su Guijun didn't anger His Majesty because he said those few words, and he was suddenly sent to the cold palace. ”

"We know the inside story when we follow His Majesty, it's only been a long time, have you forgotten?" "If it weren't for the recent times, His Majesty would have been worried about the illness of the national teacher. Su Guijun couldn't find a chance to take the throne either," the corner of the speaker's lips moved, "The deserted place in the Qingsi Palace." I don't know how long I'm going to stay! "Don't say it, Su Guijun is really judging the situation." There was a hint of appreciation in his tone, "I know how to seize the rare opportunity." "Huashang, when did you and I have half of the wisdom of the family," the man's tone was full of sighs and paused, "We won't be in the current position for so many years." “

The man's voice was full of envy, undisguised envy. "The little girl in the study who is Gu family. Look at her eldest sister," said the speaker, glancing at the lake in the distance. "Now the entire battlefield of the Northland is in her hands." "Even the last time I went back to disaster relief and relief for the people, my majesty also handed it over to her eldest sister." "His Majesty trusts her so much that she can even come and go in places like the study at will, and she has always been with her for the past few days." "What a weight." The man said with emotion. "Count it up, we all entered the palace with her eldest sister in batches." "The same people don't have the same fate, Huashang, you have to think about it." Hearing this, the other person patted her on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "Chance is such a thing, it depends on luck. "Who wouldn't talk about this explanation?"

"But that's easier said than done. It's hard to really want to open it, and I think about it thoroughly during the day. I thought back to my dream in the middle of the night, and there was always a hurdle in my heart that I couldn't overcome. “

"You're on the tip of the horns."

By mistake, the two people beside the empress were originally wandering in the forest, but they didn't expect to see He Yanzhi in a circle, and immediately hid their figures and watched this scene the whole way.

"Hey, what's the matter with the little girl who talked to Huang Guijun just now? It seems that he is very familiar with the imperial monarch, but as far as I know, he rarely has the opportunity to go out after entering the palace. ”

"Where's the old acquaintance?"

"Isn't it a person from the flower garden, maybe she was seen by the emperor when she went to the Lin De Hall to send flowers, look at her mediocre appearance, generally like this, she can't set off big waves."

"It's not as good as those foxes." The speaker said in a firm tone, with full confidence.

"Well, you have a point." Another person likewise chimed in.

"Huashang, have you ever heard what the Emperor said when he approached her?"

"It's very light, the distance is far away, I can't hear it clearly, it seems that the emperor asked her to go to the Linde Palace, most likely because there is a lack of a person who cares for flowers and plants, what else can you do when you come out of the flower garden, isn't this what you are best at?"

"But that little girl, it seems that not long after she came in, she is new to Qingzhi's hands, right? It's pretty raw. ”

"You don't know this as well as me, the people under Qingzhi's previous staff were still sent by Su Guijun. That fox charmer, who didn't do anything serious, moved the idea of coveting the national teacher, and later angered His Majesty, so Qingzhi found a reason to send her away. ”

"Where did you go?"

"I heard it's the Raccoon Bureau!"

"Ah, what did you say? Huan, Huanyi Bureau? One of them opened his mouth wide and said after a while: "It's really ruthless, in such a place, you can't get out, you can only wait until a few years later to release it from the palace." ”

"Not to mention that you can't earn money, even the food has been deducted, the last time the Huanyi Bureau had a trouble with the emperor, and as a result, a few stewards were disposed of, and almost killed people."

"What's the use, but be honest for a while, and after that, the deduction will still be the same."

"Do you sympathize with people?" "It's miserable! Under Su Guijun, they are all delicate and weak beauties, and such qualifications have reached the Huanyi Bureau, hey! "Who can blame?" The person who spoke sneered, "Who told her to move the idea that she shouldn't move, and the national teacher is also something she can think about?" “

"If you want to blame, you can only blame her for not being able to figure out the situation and not weighing her own weight."

"The new maid in the flower garden who is talking to the emperor, don't look at the people who come in, Qing Zhi can send her to the Lin De Palace, she must be very trusting, she can get the trust of the flower garden manager in such a short time, maybe people are good at this before entering the palace!"

"Have you forgotten the one who tailored for His Majesty the year before last? Several generations of her family have specialized in this way, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has been separated as soon as she came? ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense," said the speaker, with hesitation in his tone, "Don't we mention this matter to His Majesty at all?" ”

"Huashang, I advise you, don't say a word, it's better to have more than one thing, just a palace maid."

"You have to listen to me, otherwise if something happens, not only Your Majesty, but even the emperor and your monarch may be angry with us."

"His Majesty is about to go to the North with the National Teacher, the two of us may not go with us, if we stay in the palace, at that time, the emperor is the only one in the palace, and he doesn't like us, then it's over!"

"Huashang, you have to listen to me, remember!"

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, and the two of them walk side by side.

This time, it's really gone!

The people on the trees looked at the forest that had finally been completely deserted, stretched out between the branches, put their heads on their arms and muttered: "In this palace, I really can't stay anymore, can I still live a happy life!" ”

He swept through the forest like a bird, bringing with him a gust of evening breeze

At the entrance of Penglai Pavilion, Qingzhi was anxiously waiting for my arrival, and I saw her walking back and forth under the tree from a distance.

I hurriedly ran over, Qingzhi's eyes lit up, grabbed my arm and said, "Finally back?" Xiaoling! ”

"Sister Qingzhi," I said in astonishment, "what happened, why are you waiting for me at the side door?" ”

"Did someone from the palace come to check the number of people in the flower garden? Find out I'm not there, think I'm running away? ”

"Where do you want to go!" Although Qingzhi had a worried face, she couldn't help but be amused by me, "You want to run, but we are all registered in the national capital yamen, and our names are recorded." "If you want to run, you have to run out."

I said in my heart, my sister may not be! Can't you fake your identity?!

"Get down to business." Qingzhi lowered her voice and lowered her face and said, "Xiaoling, something happened, that person from Penglai Pavilion, I don't know what's going on, I want our flower garden to send someone to the main building." ”

"What did you say?" I was startled and couldn't help but raise my voice, "What happened after I left today?" ”

"Xiaoling, my sister can't stand you." Qing Zhi's eyes swept over me and lowered her head, which made me have a very bad premonition for a moment.

I looked at her inexplicably, several thoughts flashed through my heart, and I calmly asked, "Sister, please speak." ”

"Hey, the national teacher said that he wanted me to go over, you don't know your majesty," Qing Zhi had a frightened expression on her face, it seemed that she was really frightened by the empress Yan zhòng, and I was worried when I saw it. "Majesty, I've never seen her like that." Qingzhi's hand holding my arm trembled slightly.

She lowered her head and said embarrassedly, "Isn't this to blame me for being too talkative?" The National Teacher mentioned that this period of time made us bothered, and I casually mentioned that it was not my own credit, and the people in the flower garden all helped, and the herbs last time were picked by you. ”

"As a result, the National Teacher changed his mind, saying that he was not thoughtful, I was the manager of the flower garden, and it was not good to be transferred directly to the main building, so I asked the person I mentioned to go instead of me."

I looked at Qingzhi in a daze.

"Sister, haven't you always wanted to go to the main building?" I came back to my senses, glanced at Qingzhi sideways, and said in surprise to her, "He asked you to go, isn't it just right?" ”

"You mentioned it to me last time, if you want to go to the main building to have a look, you haven't had a chance to see the face of the National Teacher, doesn't this give you a chance?"

With unspeakable love tangled in my chest, I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart, so I blurted out my mouth.

Qingzhi blushed, lowered her head and did not deny: "Xiaoling, I want to go, but I can't pass that level, if I really go, I'm afraid it is"

"Xiaoling," Qingzhi regretted her words, grabbed my arm and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that it was none of my business if you went, I wouldn't tell you, I regretted it, why did I mention that sentence before." ”

"Sister, if I would have mentioned it as well, who would have thought of the thoughts of the national teacher, and thought that he was going to be rewarded, and the people in the palace would not dare to monopolize the credit."

"Xiaoling, you really understand me, that's what I thought at the time." Qing Zhi's tone was relieved.

"I don't understand you, sister, if anyone else would think like this, I can't expect what will happen later!" (To be continued......)
