In the months since, the Linggui has been a long-term favor. The Son of Heaven rested in Huawei Palace so many times that even Concubine Chen began to feel uneasy. Xing Yan, who has always been loved by thousands of people, is now reduced to the point of competing for favor with juniors. What makes people even more unwilling is that the favor of the noble people has also taken advantage of the situation to bring up the noble concubine Zhao, who has always been unremarkable. The two of them are extremely close, so it seems that they have formed a force of power.

Most of the palace people racked their brains privately to cling to the two of them, but Qingluan, who had been soaring and rising step by step a while ago, suddenly became crowded. In the end, the grace in the palace is like this, although she is idle, but the people in the pavilion are not immune to ridicule. These things, Su E have all replied one by one, and being favored and falling out of favor is only temporary, but it is imperative to see the faces of the people around him.

Suddenly, one day, the Son of Heaven had lunch and directly sent a message to Huawei Palace. The person he saw was not a noble concubine, but a Liuyue Pavilion that had been neglected for a while.

This should have been a joyous thing. However, when the saint arrived, Qingluan only wore a sketch and light makeup to greet him. is still the same faint demeanor as before, there is not much joy to see, and there is no trace of elaborate dressing. On the contrary, the palace people around her, one by one, were like an amnesty, and the surprise was indescribable.

The feeling that welled up in the heart of the Son of Heaven did not know whether it was loss or sorrow, so he only lifted the bamboo with one hand and entered the room, and saw that Qingluan was greeting him with courtesy, and suddenly said without saltiness: "You are still like this." ”

This sentence seemed abrupt for no reason, and I didn't know whether he was angry or happy, and no one dared to get up. Qingluan raised his head slowly, but his tone was gentle. "The emperor has only not seen the concubine for a few days, and it has not been three or five years, how can the concubine have changed."

A moment of silence.

The afternoon light poured into the room along the latticework of the ancient hall, and the atmosphere of early summer was a little too quiet. When the smoke from the incense burner in the house lingered on his face, it seemed as if time had been delayed for a century. At that time, the woman in front of her had light makeup, picturesque eyes, and a look that was not very clear and cool.

They're alike. The emperor suddenly felt like this, but Ah Jin in the past had never been so distant from himself.

"You go down first."

The door closed again, but the woman still leaned over and did not get up. The Son of Heaven stared at her calmness, suddenly constricted his pupils, and said in a deep voice: "You know that your appearance at this moment is the last thing I like to see." ”

He leaned over a little angrily and forced Qingluan's condensed eyes. "These days are nothing to you, but it's easier not to see you."

"The concubine doesn't understand, it's obviously the emperor's fault that he didn't come to see the concubine, so it became the concubine's fault." If she is at this time, she must be panicked and want to please. However, when Qingluan opened his mouth, there was a hint of anger. "If the emperor doesn't see the concubines, how can the concubines easily see them. If it is easy to say, the emperor can ask the palace people how they spend their time. ”

Yu Hao was stunned, but he lost his previous anger for a while. He couldn't find a way to refute this seamless defense, but he couldn't bear to be too harsh on the person in front of him.

"I'm having a hard time these days, you know."

Qingluan raised his head slightly, and saw that his outstretched palm was close to his eyes. At that moment, I was relieved. She held Yu Hao's hand and got up, only to feel that it was already early summer, but the broad palm was still cold. She thought she understood, this chill came from the man's heart, and it was a pain that could not be erased.

"The emperor has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." She sat on the side of the soft couch, seemingly casual in front of Yu Hao, but in fact, she did not overstep the etiquette at all. On the square table is a new tea that has just been brewed a moment ago, and the leaves are sinking to the bottom at this time, and the aroma is strong.

"I miss you." The emperor took the teacup but was not in a hurry to drink the tea, but said thoughtfully, "They always pour their own ideas into me, which makes me very tired." ”

"Why, the same is true of the spiritual nobles?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Hao looked at the woman in front of him carefully, and a meaningful smile appeared on his handsome face like the sun, moon and stars. "She's fine, but she's nowhere near you."

Qingluan slowly lowered her head: "The concubine is not jealous. ”

Her words finally made the man laugh, and the previous gloom was swept away. Yu Hao drank all the tea soup in one gulp, and then pushed the cup to her again, his eyes doting.

"The concubines bothered to make tea, but the emperor ...... like drinking white water"

"Luan'er, Concubine Zhao wants me to let the queen out."

The hand holding the purple jade clay pot stopped moving for a moment, and his heart was also shocked. She thought that Concubine Zhao would act sooner or later, but she didn't want to come so quickly and so desperately, and so desperately bet on a waste person - no, as long as there is a queen mother, the queen will not become a waste person. According to the wisdom of Concubine Zhao, Xu is drunkard does not mean to be in the bar.

However, these thoughts only calmed down in an instant, and the tea that Qingluan handed over again did not even have a faint trace of water.

"This is strange, Zhaogui Concubine Niangniang will never intercede for the queen in vain."

The emperor just usually treated her: "She said that it is better to use the queen to hold the queen mother hostage." ”

Sure enough, it is her style.

In this way, it can not only stabilize the strength of both sides, but also use the queen's hands to do many things that she can't do on weekdays. Even if this plan is recognized by the Queen Mother, it is impossible for her to break off the position of queen who shares a boat with her. As long as this matter is promoted, Concubine Zhao will be able to become a master in an instant.

"What does the emperor think?"

"It's really not safe to keep her locked up like this, but it's ...... to use her to deal with the Queen Mother."

Qingluan looked sideways, "Is it difficult for the emperor to give up the mother-son relationship?" ”

"Mother-son relationship?" As if he had said something extremely ridiculous, a trace of contempt suddenly appeared in the emperor's eyes, "That kind of thing is no longer needed by the Queen Mother, what do I still have to do." I just suspect that the queen is a member of the Qin clan after all, and it is not enough to succeed. ”

"Since Concubine Zhaogui said so, she must have won the battle." She also had to make long-term plans, although the queen's comeback will definitely take revenge on herself, but if the queen mother rescues her with her own hands, she will definitely be even more out of control in the future. "It's just that in this matter, please also ask the emperor to remember the feelings of the virtuous concubine."

She saw that Yu Hao frowned slightly, still worried, so she didn't say more. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "How is Chengying's injury recovering?" ”

"You've healed as before, and I said when I want him to thank you personally."

"Since his status is inconvenient, he doesn't need much etiquette." After thinking about it, he added, "Besides, this is also the credit of Bai Yu. If he really has a heart, he should remember Bai Yu's kindness to him. ”
