When I saw Yuchen again, it was already a year later.

At that time, Qingluan had not seen the saint for nearly half a year, and the people who thought she still had a chance to regain favor at first finally withdrew one after another, and the fall into the well made the woman's life more and more difficult. Su E once went back to the Liuyue Pavilion once a year to look for something to spend the winter, but saw that the backyard in the pavilion was barren and Feifei. However, people's hearts have become far faster than the wild grass grows wildly, and many of the people have already found another way, only a few people who have just come to seek incense are still stuck in the deserted pavilion.

And Qingluan heard that Mi Liangyi had pleaded with the emperor again for her in recent years, but many concubines around her blocked her, and the queen made it difficult in every way, so she was finally delayed. Qingluan's name is rapidly being forgotten, and the prayer hall has almost become her home for the rest of her life.

In the past few days, the emperor and queen went to the Temple of Heaven to worship their ancestors, and the palace was not strictly guarded, so Yuchen was able to enter the palace to visit Qingluan. However, after not seeing him for a few days, he saw that Qingluan had lost a lot of weight. The clear collarbone protrudes in the pear-white cloud robe, and the cheeks are thin and clearly visible in the bone shape.

The hall was burned with discarded charcoals, and only some clothes were sent by Mi Liangyi's pregnant trustee. The woman's weakness had made her lose her former agile beauty, and when it was cold, she just sat in front of the bed day by day, staring out the window with her eyes scattered. And Yuchen didn't know that just an hour before he arrived, Xiang Ronghua had just left here.

When I saw the woman again, she was still as gorgeous as before. In the cold winter, Xiang Ronghua only wore a brocade dress embroidered with carmine lilies, covered with a short jacket with silver-edged broken jade, and the whole person was also jewelry. In fact, her appearance is not superior, but perhaps because of her background and scholarly background, she has developed an excellent temperament. If he hadn't been too arrogant and lost his aura, it should have been scorching.

Qingluan never thought that the person who came would be her, and hurriedly got up with Su E to greet her. The woman's grace set off her own decadence of falling out of favor. However, Qingluan was also calm, and when she saw her, she only said calmly: "Xiangrong Hua is auspicious, I don't know that Rong Hua is on the cheap ground, but there is advice." ”

"Concubine Xiang is really self-aware." The woman smiled brightly, and just looked at Qingluan quietly, "It's just that my sister lives here, I'm really wronged, but I don't know if there is any hope of returning to the palace." ”

I heard that Xiang Ronghua is eighteen years old, and it stands to reason that she should be called Qingluan's sister. And Qingluan has no grievances with her, and I don't know why she deliberately came here to ridicule. Qingluan couldn't help but sigh secretly, should a woman's jealousy really be so merciless. Although she competed everywhere, Qingluan had no heart to compete with her, so she just blindly endured it.

"It's past the end of the year, and the emperor still hasn't thought of the concubines, who know that they are soft-spoken, and they just want to die in peace."

Xiang Ronghua seemed to be very satisfied with such an answer, and said no more, only turned around and passed people in. Then he saw a little eunuch carrying a hexagonal rhombic brocade box, hunched over into the hall, and put the things in his hand in front of the two of them.

"I have never heard that when I didn't enter the palace, my sister took care of the emperor very well, and there was no merit and hard work. The emperor is busy with government affairs, and he can't remember his sister's good for a while, but I can't forget my sister. Xiang Ronghua said that he had opened the brocade box, and suddenly a sour and rotten smell filled the space, and the brocade box was clearly a rotten thing that had been put away for a long time. During the New Year's banquet, I got some new snacks in the palace, so I invited my sister to try it. ”

The New Year's banquet has been around for a while, not to mention that the dim sum made by the imperial chef should not be stored for a long time. Qingluan glanced at the woman who was smiling lightly, but in her heart was the humiliation that rolled like a tide.

"Hui Ronghua, my little master doesn't eat dim sum." Su E also hated in his heart, so he only came out and said, "There is Lao Niangniang who cares for the little master wholeheartedly, and the little master of my family is grateful." ”

Xiang Ronghua recognized Su E at a glance as the person who caused her to lose face on the day she returned to the palace, new hatred and old hatred were mixed together, and there was still ruthlessness in her eyes, but she smiled and said: "It's my heart, since your little master doesn't eat, I see that you have sharp teeth, so I will reward you." ”

Su E bit her lower lip tightly, the contents of the box were clearly deteriorated and rotten, how could she swallow it. However, they are trapped here, isolated and helpless, relying on what to resist the auspicious glory of the Holy Grace. She was ruthless, and stretched out her hand in the woman's urging, but was suddenly knocked off by Qingluan's palm.

"Bastard minion, the dim sum rewarded by the little master Ronghua is also worthy of you to eat."

Qingluan said as he spoke, but he put it in his mouth without hesitation. The taste of rancid acid melted into the taste buds, and I only felt a burst of nausea surging, and I couldn't help but retch. However, his eyes were sour, but he still refused to open his mouth to beg for mercy. She must remember the humiliation of the day, and those who will step on her foot when she is most helpless and helpless, let them go away for the time being, and she will get them back one by one in the future.

Xiang Ronghua saw that she was just obedient, and she didn't expect to cry and beg for forgiveness. In addition, the food was chewed, and the original stench became more and more obvious, and it made her brain suddenly hurt, so she waved her hand and said: "You have also received my favor, so don't expect to use any flattering tricks to confuse the emperor in the future." ”

She finally made enough trouble to stop, but as soon as she stepped out of the house, Qingluan spit out "wow". The feeling of sour and nausea tortured her almost to death, and Su Efang fed her two mouthfuls of water, and then there was a burst of retching.

Su E was distressed, turned around and saw the brocade box, she was even more resentful, and was about to raise her hand to throw it away, but was stopped by Qingluan's mouth. She finally calmed her breathing, which would also exhaust her strength and said, "Keep it for me, I'll be useful." ”

When Yuchen arrived, a farce had just ended.

Qingluan was resting in the house, and it was Su E who invited the man to come in, and said: "The little master has not been good in the past two days, and this will just rest, I am afraid that I will have to bother the prince to wait for a while." ”

He was worried about Qingluan in his heart, and there was a faint look of uneasiness between his eyebrows. I felt that there was a sour smell coming from nowhere in the house, so I got up and looked around. Seeing him like this, Su E hurriedly lifted the food box on the dark table, but the man's hand was quick, and he had already removed the lid with one hand - his face was cold in an instant, and he said angrily: "How dare the Internal Affairs Office send such a meal?" ”

Su E looked aggrieved, and bent down and said: "The emperor has ordered, where does the Internal Affairs Office dare to bully the little master like this." It was sent by Fang Cai Xiang Ronghua, and it was only to be considered to her liking if the little master ate it. ”

"This king used to think that woman was a little anxious, and he didn't want to be so vicious." Qingluan was weak, he didn't know it, and when he thought about it like this, he even had a chill in his eyes, "This king must return to the emperor, how can she be the head of the nine concubines." ”
