"Shu'e, Shu'e, give me the girl."

Dong Qingning's voice was crisp and pleasant, and he spoke slowly word by word, like broken ice, jingling bells, and all of them came into Shu E's ears.

Shu E suddenly heard Dong Qingning's words, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.

As if she didn't understand the meaning of Dong Qingning's words, and as if she hadn't heard what Dong Qingning said at all, Shu'e paused and walked forward again.

But in Shu'e's mind, those two words still came up after all.

Shu'e.

Is it the affection that the emperor sent to Yong'an Hall early this morning, or the small character that he wrote in front of the palace on the day he first entered the palace on the second day of the second month of February, replacing Shuyan? Or, when he first arrived at Yong'an Hall, the third young master recited "She'er...... She ......" and then frowned slightly, and suddenly as if she had made up her mind, she picked up a pen and wrote these two words on the paper, and said softly: "It's called 'Shu'e'." ”

At this moment, these three characters passed in front of Shu E's eyes, but in the end, they still stayed on the emperor's words.

After watching it in the morning, the uneasiness in my heart came back to me.

It's just that I didn't know what it was for at the time, but at this moment I knew the Tao, but I regretted that I knew the Tao so clearly.

When I read it in the morning, I only felt that the structure of the emperor's words seemed to be a little loose, and when I saw the word "she" in the middle of the volume, I also felt that it was a complete and independent word.

At this moment, my heart is both trance and clear, could it be that the emperor's Shu'e also has a special meaning?

"Sister Shu'e, I heard that your name was given to you by the third young master of your family." Dong Qingning's voice was still full of smiles.

Shu'e's footsteps stagnated slightly, but she didn't look back and continued to walk forward.

"Sister Shu'e hasn't been waiting in Youran Yuan for a long time, I heard that it was around the time we went to Caofu, Sister Shu'e, you just went to Cousin Rannuo's side." Seeing Shu E gradually moving away, Dong Qingning did not raise her voice, but still said with a cold smile.

Shu E still heard every word very clearly, and did not feel that Dong's words sounded vague because of the distance. Shu E shook her head in disgust, hoping that Dong Qingning's voice would not reach her ears.

"The young master named the maid, but it was very chic." Dong Qingning's voice did not stop, it was still as clear as word by word: "Names like Luoying and Fangcao are just that, but they are called Shu'e......"

Shu'e's footsteps staggered, and the side of the soles of her feet touched a sharp stone, but Shu'e was still unconscious, her figure swayed slightly, and she immediately stood up straight again and walked forward slowly.

"I heard that the third young master of your family was originally interested in someone. I am afraid that it is for this reason that he rejected the marriage of the second girl of the monk's family that day. Dong Qingning smiled faintly, and her laughter was cold and crisp, "Sister Shu'e, do you know who this person is in Lu Dao?" ”

Dong Qingning's tone was full of seductiveness, as if as long as Shu E turned around and nodded, she would immediately say the person's name.

But Shu'e didn't look back, nor did she nod, her steps were getting faster and faster, but she didn't want to hear Dong Qingning's voice again, and she didn't want to hear anything from Dong Qingning's mouth.

Dong Qingning suddenly sighed leisurely, and then still said in a cold voice: "Actually, it's pitiful, not to mention the Shang family alone-wasn't I rejected by Cousin Rannuo for this reason?" ”

Dong Qingning's words seemed to be a wisp of resentful wind with ice and snow coldness, which seeped into Shu E's heart coolly. I don't know if it's because the Dong family actually openly said the matter of the third young master, or because after listening to the Dong family's words, they were about to say the name of that person.

"If I lose in the hands of Shang Linyue, I won't hate it anymore. Who made me destined to enter the palace when I knew Rannuo? But I actually - lost in your hands! Dong Qingning's face didn't have much resentment, but the fingers holding the handkerchief were white at all knuckles.

I don't know if I walked violently, and the branch that was touched by Shu'e on the side of the road bounced up and fought back on Shu'e's back. Shu E shook forward, and finally stopped, only to feel that her heart seemed to calm down suddenly after a while.

"If it weren't for you, Shu'e—" Dong Qingning slowly stood up, "Why would Cousin Rannuo be so decisive about me?" The palace has been lonely for a long time, isn't it good to leave me a trace of thought? Or maybe I can be injured or sick before entering the palace, then the emperor will definitely not choose me, and I can stay in our Dong Mansion, which is only separated by a wall from your Cao Mansion. At that time, Cao Dong's two families were officials in the same dynasty, and the mansion was next to each other, and Ran Nuo and I were uncles and cousins, and after a long time, my uncle and aunt would definitely go to Dong's house......"

Dong Qingning's voice was not as sharp as Fang Cai, but more and more low, as if he was telling someone a beautiful dream in the girl's heart, and as if he was telling someone about his tenderness.

"Enough!" Shu E felt as if the voice coming out of her mouth was not her own: "You are a concubine of the Heavenly Palace, but you are thinking about these things for no reason, if the Queen Mother knows the way, the queen knows the way, do you still want to have this life?" Your Dong family's official position, glory and wealth, as well as the future and fate of your family, do you still care about it? ”

Shu E just didn't look back, I don't know if she was afraid to see Dong Qingning's face, or she was afraid that her face would be seen by Dong Qingning.

Dong Qingning stood there stunned, but suddenly laughed. She smiled so happily, so unscrupulously, and yet so desolate. Shu E's hand holding the branch couldn't help but tighten, and with a "snap", the branch in her hand was brittle and bent, although the branch was still alive, the wisps of cracked bark were still persistently maintaining her injured torso.

"Sister Shu'e, I never knew that you are such a reasonable person." Dong Qingning's voice was full of laughter.

"So in this way, Shang Wanyun became the third young grandmother, are you not sad at all? You watched Shang Wanyun enter the door in Cao Mansion, and the smile on his face was actually sincere? Dong Qingning's question did not have much of a questioning tone, but more of a smiling answer.

"Shang Wanyun is really a poor person, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's marriage, how could she enter the house like this? But even if it was the Queen Mother's marriage, she was also the one who was rejected by Rannuo once. In the future, I'm afraid that it will be discordant......" Dong Qingning said crisply, and when he said it, he actually giggled.

"But, but...... I may not be in a position to speak of her. Dong Qingning suddenly sighed in a low voice.
