Zihao looked at Shu E with wide eyes, not knowing what she meant.

"I was appointed by the Queen Mother to enter the palace that day to be the emperor's concubine, and I entered the palace this time for the emperor." Shu E looked at Zihao, who looked stunned, and smiled: "Sister Fang just said that the words are cautious, is that what you mean?" ”

"I was negligent." Zihao said.

"The truth of what Sister Zihao said is just that in the palace, I have to say these crown words." Shu E smiled and said, "Actually, if the two of us are just now, we can also think about it together." I successfully entered the palace, which can be regarded as completing my mission and saving the life and face of Cao Mansion. That's what my sister said I was going to the palace for. It's just that my posture and talent are not enough to be promoted to concubines, and I get a stable foothold in this harem, and I will be honored and favored unlimitedly, and I will be promoted all the way to glory; If you retreat, you will help each other with Caofu, and always ensure the wealth and safety of our Han Palace. ”

After a long time, Shu E said slowly: "And this is the most crowning and realistic purpose for us to enter the palace together." ”

The word "we" is both deep and long.

Shu E suddenly stopped, turned to look at Zihao sideways, and said firmly: "It's just such a purpose, but I can't do it." However, when a group of six of us entered the palace, there was still one person who could do it. ”

A strange brilliance flashed on Zihao's face, as if the lake surface of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River was sparkling by the sun's rays. But then Zihao lowered his head and said: "Sister-in-law He, Lilac, Ju Dou, Su Mo and I, we are the Fu mother and maid who followed Madame into the palace. We will always be by Madame's side. ”

Shu E stared at Zihao for a long time before slowly walking forward: "I thought that my sister would be favored once she was favored, and she would be able to take care of me in the palace." After speaking, he smiled and said: "That's it, good things don't come out of fantasy." Although I have such a heart at the moment, I am not so sure, and if things are done recklessly, it will be self-defeating. After all, if you want to recommend someone to the emperor, you have to get the permission of the queen mother. But sometimes it's much easier than you think. Where is my sister's appearance and character? After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zihao and smiled.

Zihao's face was flushed, and when she saw Shu E turning around, she immediately lowered her eyelids, and just said softly: "I'm just a maid, where did I get some talent." If you talk about talent and character, how can you be as good as Mrs. ”

Shu E said with a smile: "When my sister said this, it can be regarded as a very inattentive thing to things in the palace." Shu E looked at Zihao's eyes with a puzzled look, and said with a straight face: "Looking at the concubines in the palace, all of them are quite beautiful, but they are not necessarily the most beautiful and the most favored." The strange thing is that all of them are a little different, a little new and unique. Under the queen's seat, although no one can dominate the leader, everyone is equally divided. ”

Shu E said and stretched out her hand to the front, and said with a smile: "For example, we are going to Huaxiangju tonight, and when I mention this place, I will think of Yang Jieyu." I wonder if my sister feels the same way? ”

"That's nature." Zihao replied.

"Oh?" Shu E smiled: "But I don't know what is the most distinctive thing about Yang Jieyu in my sister's eyes?" ”

"Yang Jieyu's rhythm is derived from the true biography of the imperial concubine, which is wonderful. She is also the niece of the imperial concubine, and she is also the only person in the palace who has an heir, and her status in the palace is needless to say. Zihao's voice was soft and soft, and she said eloquently: "Her smile is a unique beauty in the harem." ”

Shu E put her hands together and said with a smile: "My sister is really smart." If you were Sister Lilac, you wouldn't have thought of so much. ”

The flowers live together and the lights are bright. I think it was just after dinner, some of the maids sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, and some were sitting and talking in the main hall, and suddenly saw Shu E walking into the courtyard with Zihao, and everyone had a surprised look on their faces.

Rouyu was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, and when she saw Shu E coming, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mrs. Yong'an is here." ”

Shu E nodded and smiled: "After walking here at night, I thought of coming to see your Jieyu lady." With that, he walked towards the main hall.

Zihao said softly, "Madame, don't you wait for them to go in and report?" ”

Shu E hurriedly said: "Look at me, I just want to see how Yang Jieyu is doing quickly, so I forgot about this." Jieyu Niangzi is still sick, and when she suddenly arrives, she naturally has to make a little preparation. ”

After a while, Qian Tao walked out, and the moment she saw Shu E, her face was full of indignation, but she was not like other maids, she was a little surprised. After a while, he saluted Shu'e and said, "Jieyu lady, please." ”

Shu E looked at Qian Tao wearing a water-red skirt with a peach-colored silver silk gown, and earrings on her headdress, all of which were bright and joyful red, smiled faintly, and said with a half-salute: "I haven't seen you for many days, and Miss Qian Tao is still so pretty." ”

Qian Tao looked at Shu E with a smile on her face, but her voice was cold and not a little warm: "That's because Qian Tao has a noble person in her life." ”

Shu E smiled low and said no more.

Entering from the gate, there are many charms with red strokes pasted in inconspicuous places. It seems that after Akane Tao went in to report, the originally bright lights also became dim, especially where the charms were pasted, and the surrounding candles were extinguished without exception. It's just that there are still candle tears on the candlestick that have not yet solidified, but it shows that the candle flame has just been extinguished.

If it weren't for Yu Rong's explanation in advance, it would not be easy to find these charms in this dimly lit corner. Shu E gritted her teeth lightly, disgusted in her heart: It's just to cover it up.

Yang Jieyu's room was dim as usual, and only one candle was lit in the middle of each candlestick. The doors and windows were not as closed as the last time I saw them, but they were opened.

There is a faint smell in the wick with agarwood crumbs, but it can't hide a special smell, which is not the spice used in Yang Jieyu's house, nor is it like the incense used by the palace concubines on weekdays. It seems to be ......

Shu E's heart moved slightly, yes, this is the unique scorching breath of the paper being burned, lingering in this closed space, giving people a heavy depression.

Shu E walked in with her head down, and sure enough, under the incense table where the incense burner had always been placed, the corner of the hanging gold embroidered brocade tablecloth was turned up. Shu E could see clearly, a copper basin, and there was half of a talisman in it that had not been burned.

Shu E felt a chill in her heart, but she tried her best not to be quiet on her face, and saluted: "Yang Jieyu is blessed." I have never come to visit Jieyu's wife. The lady's complexion is much better. ”

Yang Jieyu was half-lying on a beauty couch, with a large soft pillow with honey and color pins and flowers behind her, and her hair was pulled up at random on the pillow. The body is half covered with a lotus lotus-colored brocade plain flower quilt.

When Yang Jieyu saw Shu E enter the door, she had a welcoming smile on her face and the sadness of losing her son, but the moment Shu E slowly raised her head, Yang Jieyu's eyes were clearly afraid.

Yang Jieyu just looked at Shu E and didn't speak for a while.

Shu E smiled and said: "I haven't come to live with flowers for a few days, and I came here rashly tonight, Jieyu doesn't bother, right?" ”

Yang Jieyu still didn't answer.

Shu E also noticed Yang Jieyu's strange appearance, looked down at the placket of her clothes, reached out and touched her cheek, turned to look at Zihao, and said strangely: "Sister Zihao, is there anything wrong with my dress?" ”

Zihao glanced at Shu E twice, and the look on her face was also a little weird, but she shook her head and said, "The slave maid didn't see anything wrong with Madame." ”

Zihao's voice was crisp and loud, Shu E nodded after hearing this, but Yang Jieyu suddenly said as if she had been woken up, "Sister Shu, please sit down." Qian Tao, show Mrs. Yongan tea. Akane agreed.
