Xiuning Palace

As the night deepened, the red candles reflected a blinding halo through the screens. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe empty main hall, the palace people have all retreated. Only Concubine Yi Guifei, who was sitting on Concubine Yang's couch, and a pair of children standing opposite her.

"That Mu Qinghan is just a waste, he dares to be so arrogant! And that concubine, did she start to tie her up! Mu Xuanhua said imposingly, how could she have suffered such a grievance.

Concubine Yi, who was still thinking about it, turned pale at this time, and said sharply: "Shut up!" I think the real arrogant person is you! ”

"Mother!" Concubine Yi has always loved Mu Xuanhua, and she usually speaks with a pleasant face, but this time it is unusual.

"If you hadn't deliberately stumbled, how could she have jumped out of the Phoenix Nine Heavens by mistake? If it weren't for that dance dress, how could His Majesty think of that slut again? Concubine Yi paused and looked at her daughter, who had a similar temperament to her when she was young.

The tone gradually calmed down: "This time it's all a lesson, don't make your own decisions next time." Otherwise, if you really annoy your father and do anything out of the ordinary, your mother won't be able to save you. ”

Emperor Yun's words were for her, and for everyone. Whether it is a palace concubine, a courtier, or a prince or princess, it is always the king who obeys in the end.

Mu Xuanhua stomped his feet angrily, "I really want that waste to make a fool of himself in public, but why is my father not angry at all?" And...... And there has been such a big change in attitude towards her. ”

You must know that Empress Zhaoyue is a big taboo in the palace. Even the most favored second concubine Yishu avoided teaching everywhere in front of Emperor Yun, and did not dare to talk about it lightly. Not to mention that someone openly wore the dance clothes worn by Xiao Mingyu and danced the dance she once made.

"Xuanhua, don't bother the queen mother anymore. Although Mu Qinghan is said to be the third princess, she has been beaten into the cold palace for so many years, how can it be so easy to reflexively. The young man in the purple costume said, his name is Mu Jingye, and he is the eldest son of Emperor Yun and Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi nodded, her eyes full of murder: "Ye'er is right, what she is the third princess of Yunyao." Don't forget, she is neither favored by His Majesty nor supported by her mother's family. In the end, it's just a waste before the name is empty! It's that concubine, she has always been at odds with me, and she has been fighting for a long time. Openly and secretly, everywhere wants to seize your handle, so that we can lead our army. ”

When she saw that rather similar face, her heart almost jumped. That Mu Qinghan looks like Xiao Mingyu is reincarnated! Presumably except for her, everyone else was also taken aback, right?

"But I just can't swallow this breath, mother, you don't know, imperial brother! When there is no one in one place, that Mu Qinghan is really arrogant. Not only did I make sarcastic remarks, but I even dared to slander my mother. "She Mu Xuanhua doesn't care so much, she has grown so big, she has always been the only one who bullies others, and who dares to provoke her like that?

Hearing this, Mu Jingye also frowned slightly: "She really not only satirized you, but also slandered her mother?"

"That's it! Zhizi Mo Ruomu, don't you know your temper and concubine? Concubine Yi touched her daughter's hands caressingly, "Although she is proud now, it is only temporary." After Prince Sheng Yuan leaves, how do you want to rectify her, it's not a matter of words! ”

"What does this have to do with Prince Sheng Yuan?" Speaking of Ye Weiyang, Mu Xuanhua's face couldn't help but flush slightly.

"My silly sister, do you think that Prince Sheng Yuan really came to our Yunyao this time just to participate in the goddess sacrifice?" Mu Jingye shook his head, and then explained, "Although the Three Kingdoms have been established for a long time, it is only calm on the surface, and the waves below are turbulent, which is far from what we can imagine in this deep palace. In recent years, Beichen and Sheng Yuan have had many large and small frictions, while our Yunyao has remained neutral. Presumably, the more important purpose of the prince that night this time was to come specifically for the alliance. ”

"Alliance? Could it be ......" Mu Xuanhua's already ruddy face was a little hot, and she looked more and more delicate and charming.

"Silly girl, if you just come to participate in the goddess sacrifice, can the prince of a country come in person? That night, the prince's character was outstanding, and even your father was amazed, so he naturally wanted to be worthy of our most noble princess in Yunyao. In the entire palace, except for Mu Qinghan's waste, you still have the little hooves of Yun Concubine Sheng who have not yet left the pavilion. If such a good thing does not fall on you, who else can it be? ”

Concubine Yi's gaze was mixed with a hint of pride, in the past, she could trample Xiao Mingyu under her feet, but now, her daughter will take her daughter's place.

"But how did the concubine know that the prince would definitely choose a son and a minister that night?" Although her mother and brother were so sure, Mu Xuanhua was still a little apprehensive in her heart.

"If Concubine Shu also had a daughter, this matter might not have gone so smoothly, but unfortunately she only has one son. The Night Prince is a smart man, so he will definitely marry you as a concubine. "Thinking that his son will be crowned as a prince in the future, and then become a generation of kings. And her daughter will also find a good relationship and become the princess of Shengyuan, Concubine Yi Guifei can't help but feel better.

"At that time, I will go to my father with my brother and let my father promote you to another position." Mu Xuanhua said happily, if she can really marry Ye Weiyang, it will be worth it even if she pays more.

Concubine Yi Guifei held the hands of the two together, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is already old, and she is destined to die of old age in the palace." And you brothers and sisters are in the prime of life, in this deep palace, you must support each other! ”

Although Mu Junli has sealed her status as a concubine, she is now the most noble woman in the entire palace, but what she wants most is the position of the queen. Only by becoming Yunyao's queen and Mu Junli's wife can her children become princesses and princesses.

In the past, Xiao Mingyu was blocking it, and later there was Concubine Shu repeatedly entangled, but now it's different!

Qiongyu Palace, brightly lit

"Qian'er, what do you think the mother concubine did to Mu Qinghan, why did she be?" Taking a sip of tea, Concubine Shu, who had not yet taken off her makeup, asked slowly.

Opposite sat a famous seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in brocade clothes, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth. Between the eyebrows and eyes, he is very similar to Concubine Shu, her expression is calm and calm, and she is somewhat similar to Emperor Yun.

"How to do the mother concubine, there is a reason for the mother concubine, as long as the son does his best, it is enough." Mu Qian agreed, and handed a freshly peeled dragon eye in his hand to Concubine Shu. It is rumored that this prince is very filial to his mother, which is naturally not groundless.

Concubine Shu took the dragon's eye and smiled: "You are the only child of the concubine, and you are also the prince who is most valued by your father, and the position of the crown prince will be yours sooner or later." As for Mu Jingye, Concubine Yi didn't look at what kind of virtue her son was. No matter how partial the emperor is, he will not be dizzy with old eyes, and it is impossible to pass the throne to him. ”

"The mother concubine is too worried, since ancient times, how many princes have been able to ascend to the throne smoothly? Since you don't know the result until the end, why fight for the inconsequential position. Mu Qianyun said with a smile, he really has unique insights compared to Mu Jingye, so Emperor Yun also likes this little son more.

Concubine Shu said: "No wonder your father said that you have been handy in handling government affairs recently." It seems that Qian'er in this palace is really getting smarter and smarter. ”

"It's just the queen mother, that Mu Qinghan is not a simple person. We need to be careful, or we will make a wedding dress for someone else. "I have never seen a woman like Mu Qinghan, even if it is compared to his mother, it is not as good as it.

"This concubine naturally knows that a woman who can survive in the cold palace can be as simple as that?" Concubine Shu sighed and said, "Fortunately, she is only a woman, and no matter what happens in the future, she will marry someone else as a wife and concubine." But that's fine, if she's smart enough, she'll only be friends with us, not enemies. ”

"The mother concubine and the Empress Zhaoyue back then are cousins, right?" Mu Qianyun asked lightly, there are some things that need to be understood clearly.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Concubine Shu was shocked, but there was a slight smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes were full of grievances.

"It's nothing, Erchen just thinks that today in the Yunshui Palace, the reflection of the father and the emperor and those ministers is really... It's a bit too abnormal. ”

As if looking at the person opposite with deep meaning, Concubine Shu said leisurely: "If they are the same as usual, it will be strange." After all, when I see such a similar appearance again ten years later, how many people can not sigh in surprise! ”

"What does the concubine mean is that Mu Qinghan looks very similar to Queen Zhaoyue?"

"What's so surprising about this, they are mother and daughter, even if they look like they are carved out of a mold, it is not surprising." Spit out the dragon's eye core into the jade plate, and the fingertips of the concubine trembled slightly.

"No wonder my father never allowed others to mention Empress Zhaoyue, and he didn't like Mu Qinghan, there must be some clues in this, right?" What did such a beautiful woman do to make the person who once loved her so negative to her?

"Yes, there is indeed a big clue here, but the mother concubine can't tell you everything about it yet." In fact, she just didn't want to say it, and she was afraid to say it.

"What kind of person is Queen Mother, Queen Zhaoyue?" If it was normal, Mu Qianyun would never ask again, but this time he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.

"Sister, she is a very beautiful and very intelligent woman! Anyone who stands with her will be obscured from their brilliance. Just like herself at the beginning, she was obviously so beautiful and moving, but Mu Junli only had Xiao Mingyu in her eyes.

"But in this secluded palace, being too smart isn't necessarily a good thing. If my sister hadn't been so smart, why would she have died so miserably? The concubine propped up the window lattice and looked out of the dark hall, her tone did not know resentment, mockery or schadenfreude.

"Since my father loves her so much, how can he ......" There was a shallow sadness between his eyebrows, and he vaguely remembered a scene when he was a child.

The woman on the snow, who was so beautiful that she didn't know the edge of the dust, stretched out her hands to the child who fell to the ground without hesitation. Later, he learned that it was his father's favorite wife and the cousin who took away his mother's favor - Xiao Mingyu, the queen of Zhaoyue.

The warm handkerchief wiped the tears from the corners of the child's eyes, and led him to Zhaoyang Palace......

It's just that after too long, he can't remember the person's appearance clearly. It wasn't until the moment he saw Mu Qinghan that he had an impression again.

"Don't forget! Your father is not only her husband, but also the king of a nation. Some things still don't go as you like, especially this kind of vowed feelings, which is more important than a position of power? At this moment, her face was the sadness of being a woman in the palace.

The palace is like a cage, which not only locks the people inside, but also locks the hearts of people. It's like a big dye vat, no matter how pure white as paper is, one day it will be dyed and lose its original intention.

"Tomorrow you find an opportunity to take some rare gifts to the Frostfall Palace. No matter what, she is also your titular third sister. After speaking, he pulled out a golden hairpin on his sideburns and picked out the candle flame that was burning on the table.

"The candle shadow is bright, the fireworks are easy to cold, only people's hearts are getting more and more bitter!" Once upon a time, when these words came out of the man's mouth, she didn't think so, but now she knows it deeply.

A gentle mist rose from the gilded purple cloud furnace, wisps and sparse wisps. It burns not agarwood, nor sandalwood. It is a spice made by the concubine herself, and it is called "beauty drunk".

Beauty is drunk, and heroes are drunk.

"Niangniang, the sobering soup is here." The intimate woman Qianxia walked in from the outside with a food box, and the Dongzhu on the earlobe glowed faintly. Even such a servant girl has a contemptuous beauty and thought.

"You've drunk a lot of wine today, so come, drink this sobering soup." Like all mothers in the world, no matter how fierce a woman is, she will never show cruelty to others when facing her children.

In the dead of night, how many people are able to sleep peacefully at this time? Everyone in the world knows that the women in the palace are calculating and ruthless like scorpions.

But who knows, if you don't learn to calculate and learn to act step by step in this court, how can you survive with that little bit of grace?
