Chapter 1: The Heartless

Yunyao Imperial Capital, Frost Palace

"Father-in-law Liu, princess, she is still sick, it would be good for father-in-law to come back later. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" In the courtyard, a delicate-looking green girl said, with a little pleading in her words.

"You, is it possible to disobey the emperor's will? Why, don't call the princess out to answer the order? The old eunuch in his forties was snarky and mean, quite like a fox and a tiger.

Then he ignored it and walked straight into the house with a group of people. At a glance, there is no other furnishings except for a few broken tables and chairs. It's very old, but it's very clean.

Inside, separated by a veil, was the bedroom, and the man they were looking for was in it.

The old eunuch had never seen such a simple place, and fanned his nose again and again with his hand, so as not to be contaminated with this unfortunate shabby smell.

"What's going on?" Putting down the pen and ink in his hand, the person inside the curtain asked aloud. The tone is not hurried or impatient, clear and smart.

"Princess Yu, it's Gonggong Liu and they are here." The girl in green answered, her name is Xun'er, and she is the only girl by Mu Qinghan's side.

"Minions attend the princess." Although he is a slave, he looks like a master. Although he said that he participated, his body did not move.

Through the light curtain, Mu Qinghan had doubts in his heart. She hadn't seen this old eunuch for decades, and she didn't want to be more and more powerful, so what was she doing this time?

"Ahem...... Father-in-law Liu came to the palace, is there anything wrong? Mu Qinghan spoke slowly, she was like a red lotus on the shore of the West Lake, clear bones and long-lasting.

Liu Quan couldn't see anyone higher than him, he had served Emperor Yun for more than ten years, and even the favored concubines in the palace had to give three points of courtesy when they saw him.

And this waste-like Mu Qinghan didn't buy his account at all, Liu Quan couldn't help but be annoyed and said: "The emperor asked you to go to Yunshui Palace, but don't miss the time!"

"The palace knows, I'll be there later, father-in-law, please go back first." She didn't want to worry too much about this old lady, but she shouldn't have dirty her house.

After a while, the sarcastic voice came from outside the garden, "Do you really think you're a princess?" I don't want to think about what kind of identity she is. Dare to put up a shelf in front of our family! ”

These words are like a stinger that pierces the tip of a person's heart, spilling a little blood, and no matter how long it takes, it still aches faintly.

With a sneer, Mu Qinghan couldn't help but care, even if he really cared, it was only himself who was hurt. What's more, she is a heartless person......

"Princess, will they ...... inside such luxurious clothes they gave us?" said Kaoru with some concern as she presented the clothes and jewelry she had just sent to the people in the curtain.

Looking at the exquisitely made clothes, Mu Qinghan shook his head. explained: "Since the banquet itself will prepare palace clothes for me, what is so strange! If I'm not mistaken, there must be people from the other two countries at this night's banquet. ”

In the final analysis, I just don't want her Mu Qinghan to lose Yun Yao and lose his face as Emperor Yun. And this banquet is actually just a pretext. You must know that the struggle for power and status is staged every day, between the court, the harem and even the state.

Touching the fine palace clothes, she sighed, "It's a pity to wear such good clothes on me." ”

"Princess......" Kaoru looked at the beautiful but extremely delicate woman, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.

Mu Qinghan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and comforted her softly: "You always like to cry like this, if you cry your eyes badly, what can you do?"

"I just can't get used to them bullying the princess like this, but I can't protect the princess, Xun'er is really useless." Crying even more fiercely, she was already a helpless orphan. If it weren't for the former Empress Zhaoyue, and the current princess, she would have died ten years ago.

"If you are useless, am I not even more useless? I remember when I was a child, you always liked to go to the imperial kitchen and steal a few pastries while the cook was not looking. Several times, he was discovered by the palace people on duty, and his hands and legs were bruised. But most of the pastries went into my stomach, and you always said you weren't hungry. Since the heavens are not good for people, we should live well, right? ”

When Kaoru heard this, she stopped crying, and her misty eyes met a soft gaze. Mu Qinghan hugged Xun'er, in this secluded deep palace, besides Xun'er, who could she rely on?

Ten years, she has been in this frost palace for ten years. In addition to the false name of the third princess of Yunyao, what did she have?

The bronze mirror that had been placed on the dresser was rearranged, the only relic her mother had given her. is about to ruin her face, why bother to leave a mirror again?

Xun'er picked up the peach wood comb and slowly combed it on the three thousand green silks, describing the prosperity of a lifetime. But the years are ruthless, who can guarantee that the red face will not fade into white bones in an instant?

"The princess is so beautiful, more beautiful than the fourth princess and the fifth princess combined!" Inserting a white jade qiong hairpin into the curled moon bun, Xun'er looked at Mu Qinghan in front of the mirror, and said a little stupidly.

Luan Feng Bao Mirror, stunning beauty, except for the faint scar on the side of the face, everything is so perfect and impeccable. The slender hand stroked the scar, and a tear slipped from the corner of the eye, bitter and astringent.

Queen Mother, are you really just trying to take revenge on that person by doing this to your son? But he wasn't in pain, was he?

Mu Qinghan came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Silly girl, there are some things that can be said, but some things that must never be said." As he spoke, he glanced out the door with sharp eyes.

Xun'er immediately understood: "It's the slave who lost her words, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins."

"Give me the veil." Wearing that light veil, only the eyes that were as bright as the moon were revealed.

From the moment she stepped into the Frostfall Palace, she was destined to never get out again. It was an accident to survive, and it was a surprise to everyone.

The corners of Mu Qinghan's mouth curled slightly, "Since I am out of this cold palace, then I will not tolerate it again." ”

When she stepped out of the Frost Palace, the vermilion palace gate was like blood. Mu Qinghan knew that it was dyed and woven with the blood of countless women.

The sunset at dusk is so beautiful, but in the cold palace, she has no time to care. A pair of purple swallows flew overhead, in pairs, and they were old together, but it was a great irony in this deep palace.

"That's Guiyan!" A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Mu Qinghan's mouth, but it was mixed with too much bitterness.

Along the way, I met a lot of palace people, but none of them saluted. Even in the eyes of these palace people, she is an incomparably humble existence.

"Who is the person in front, when he saw our mother, he dared not to salute!" The sharp voice was a little arrogant, piercing people's eardrums.

When Lu Qinghan heard the prestige, he saw a woman in a gorgeous costume not far behind him walking towards this side with the support of the palace maid, followed by several palace maids.

Xun'er quietly approached Mu Qinghan's ear and whispered: "Princess, that's Rou Concubine Niangniang, I heard that she has been very favored recently."

"Oh!" responded lightly, this concubine does have a bit of beauty, but there is never a shortage of beautiful people in the palace. Even a woman as shocking as the queen mother was not abandoned like a chess piece.

"Erchen has seen Rou Niangniang." When the woman approached, Mu Qinghan owed her.

"You are?" Concubine Rou looked at Ye Qinghan carefully, only she was wearing a long skirt of moonlight smoke, with a light veil covering her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly. But the temperament of the body is by no means beyond the reach of others.

Although she has only been in the palace for two years, the princes and princesses in the palace have also seen all of them, but this one has no impression at all.

"Mother, she seems to be ...... It's Mu Qinghan of the Frost Palace! The palace maid next to her came back to her senses and exclaimed in surprise.

A look of surprise flashed on Concubine Rou's face, and then turned into a hint of mockery: "Who should I be, it turns out to be Princess Qinghan!" Why didn't you stay in the cold palace? How dare you come here? Where's the one? , escort her back to the Frost Palace! ”

"Such domineering, arrogant and vulgar, my father's vision is really getting worse and worse!" Lu Qing looked at her with a cold smile, and let the two palace people with disgusted faces walk towards him.

"Wait!" Just as the two hands were about to touch the corners of her clothes, a dignified voice sounded from behind her.

A bridge fell here, and from the bridge came down the famous and gorgeously dressed, dignified and noble ********.

I saw that the man was wearing a plum-red new-style palace dress, with a face like a hibiscus, lips like peonies, moth eyebrows and apricot eyes, and a flying expression. The two golden luans are inserted into the bun diagonally, and with each step, there is a clear sound of gold and jade colliding. Although he is over 30 years old, he looks only in his early twenties due to proper maintenance.
