Although Yuxiu Palace has been rewarded continuously these days, the actual number of times Chu Yin has come is only a handful, and the most favored person in this harem is still Concubine Ning. But in this way, no one in the palace maids, eunuchs, or even concubines dared to show Fuxi's face, after all, after being left out in the cold for three years, she could regain the favor of the emperor, and no one could guarantee that she would be restored in the future.

In the early morning of this day, it was just dawn, but Yin Fuxi was invited by the Empress Dowager Lian to go to Cixi Palace.

Even the Empress Dowager was originally the daughter of the previous imperial doctor, and although the relationship with the first emperor was not very strong, she also respected each other. She though

The emperor's mother is not the biological mother. Chu Yin's biological mother, Concubine Lian, died of illness after giving birth to him in just half a month. And even the eldest prince of the Queen Mother did not survive smallpox in the end.

Because the Empress Dowager Lian fell ill when she gave birth to the eldest prince, and it was difficult to conceive again, the first emperor took pity on Chu Yin and passed Chu Yin to the name of the Empress Dowager Lian. After so many years, even the Queen Mother treated Chu Yin as her own biological child, and the Lian family behind her did not contribute less when Wulong won the heir.

Even the Queen Mother and Fuxi's father were old acquaintances, so her attitude towards Fuxi can be regarded as intimate, in the past, when Fuxi was snubbed by the emperor, even the Queen Mother also sent people over from time to time to send some necessities to Yuxiu. After the fall of Prime Minister Yin, the Queen Mother even sent her henchman Mama Li to comfort Yin Fuxi.

For the Empress Dowager Lian, Fuxi is grateful.

Knowing that the Queen Mother believed in Buddhism, Fuxi personally copied the Buddha scroll and planned to dedicate it to the Queen Mother today, which was also a little careful by her.

When he entered the Cixi Palace, he was not stopped by the guards, and it seemed that he had been summoned in advance. Passing by the spacious courtyard, I happened to hear the laughter of the Empress Dowager Lian in front of the palace gate, and it seemed that she was in a good mood.

Fu Xi also hooked her lips and smiled lightly, and entered the hall after the palace maid reported.

The Queen Mother looks very kind, she looks like a good-natured person, at this time she is sitting upright behind the main seat and talking about something with Mama Li, and she was overjoyed when she saw Fuxi come in, and even beckoned when Fuxi didn't have time to say goodbye

"Come over and let the mourning family see how the poor child has lost so much weight."

Fuxi had to bow and walked over, and her slender hand was held by the Queen Mother and rubbed back and forth, which made her heart warm.

"My poor child, I've suffered you for the past three years" After carefully looking back and forth, Mrs. Lian took the silk silk from Mama Li's hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said in a deep voice

"Come on, sit down"

Soon the two eunuchs came up with a carved nanmu chair, put it down and left in a hurry.

Fuxi knew that even the Queen Mother liked to be close to her, so she sat down without restraint, and glanced at Xiao Pian, and only then did her thin lips open slightly after seeing that she understood

"This is a Buddhist scripture copied by Fuxi's own hands, and it is specially dedicated to the Queen Mother today"

Hearing Fuxi talk about the Buddhist scriptures, the Queen Mother Lian first expressed relief, and when she heard that the child in front of her no longer called herself the queen mother as in the past, she couldn't help but show a little displeasure, but thinking of her current position, she had to sigh in her heart, and the displeasure on her face turned into pity, took the Buddhist scriptures and flipped through a few pages, and handed it to Mama Li, who was waiting on the side.

"Put it on the top of the bookcase of the mourning house"

That Juanxiu's font is extremely attentive to each stroke, how could she not see it? She will naturally keep this sutra for a long time. It's the child in front of me, hey! The temperament is too stubborn, Yin'er is indifferent, the most lacking in this harem is women, there are all kinds of beauties in the fat ring and thin swallow, and now she has lost the big backer of Yin Xiang, whether she is favored or not favored in the future, life is very sad!

The two chatted again, and before they knew it, it was already dawn.

Yin Fuxi saw that the queen mother was tired, so she got up and prepared to resign, but she was forcibly left behind by the queen mother. She just thought that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and the queen mother didn't want to leave too early, but after a while, the big palace maid in front of the palace door reported that the emperor had come to ask for peace, and Fuxi realized what the queen mother meant.

The government affairs of the court are very busy, and even the Queen Mother is not the biological mother of the emperor, so Chu Yin has come to ask the Queen Mother for peace only a handful of times, and Fuxi never expected him to come over today, and even the Empress Dowager picked up Fuxi to come to Cixi Palace today, and the purpose could not be more obvious.

After Chu Yin asked the Empress Dowager Lian to say goodbye, he was obviously a little surprised to see Fuxi, but he didn't say anything, just sat on the main seat on the side, listening to the Queen Mother and Yin Fuxi chatting about the harem, and occasionally the Queen Mother asked him before answering two sentences.

After about a cup of tea, the Queen Mother Lian "drove out" the two of them on the grounds that she was tired.

It's late autumn, and the cool breeze is blowing, with the sweet smell of autumn flowers, which makes people feel refreshed.

Chu Yin's rare interest did not take the dragon chariot directly back to the Xuanming Palace, but took a walk with Yin Fuxi in this imperial garden.

The two walked one after the other, with a distance of less than one zhang in between, and the palace maids and eunuchs around them felt a few zhang away.

Chu Yin has always been cold and arrogant, rarely taking the initiative, and Yin Fuxi has become silent since entering Yuxiu Palace, the two of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was very stiff.

It wasn't until he passed by a glazed tile pavilion that Chu Yin stopped, turned around and said, "Do you remember this pavilion?" ”

Yin Fuxi lowered her eyelids slightly, her dark eyes were full of sarcasm, how could she not remember that in the past, she entered the palace with her father, and it was here that she met Chu Yin when she was young, and since then, she has begun the misfortune of her life.

Chu Yin didn't notice her thoughts, and said to herself

"Lone remembers that you were small and naughty at that time, and you actually hid behind the round table in the pavilion and pretended to be a ghost to scare Lone, but you were really bold!" Recalling the events of the year, Chu Yin's tone was rarely light, but his cold and deep facial features on weekdays were a lot softer at the moment.

"Remember? On the eve of the moon of that year, there was a banquet in the palace, and Lone and you secretly ran out, climbed to the top of this pavilion, watched the moon for a few hours, and finally fell asleep on this glazed tile, and when I woke up, I happened to see the guards who came to look for people. Chu Yin said, with a flash of smile in his long narrow eyes.

"Hmm" replied vaguely, Yin Fuxi set his eyes on the pavilion, but the light in his eyes was erratic with an incomprehensible trance.

As if sensing the absent-mindedness of the person in front of him, Chu Yin frowned slightly, stepped forward, raised his big palm to clasp her jaw and forced her to raise her little face to look at him, his deep eyes with a cold light of insight, as if he could see through her heart, he asked in a deep voice, "Forgot?" ”

The slender hand was clenched into a fist, the red nails sank into the flesh of the palm, Yin Fuxi raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, his eyes were as clear as water, and his lips raised a sweet arc

"At that time, the concubine was very naughty, and he had to play tricks on His Majesty, and the emperor was now settling old accounts with his concubines."

Seeing her words as such a little woman, Chu Yin couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and he deliberately made a straight face with a little teasing, "In the past, Fuxi bullied orphans like this, but now I think about how to pay it back, huh?" ”

"Huh?" The person in front of him seemed to be very surprised, but his thin lips were slightly open, but he couldn't say a word anymore, and he had to hang down his little face after half a sound, staring at his toes as if he was unwilling, looking very aggrieved.

Seeing her cramped and uneasy appearance, Chu Yin only felt that the tip of his heart was scratched, itchy, with a little smile on his lips, his strong arms took advantage of the situation, and brought the person into his arms, buried his head and sniffed the familiar aroma in her hair, feeling the heat slowly rising around the two of them, and his heart was full as if it was filled with something.

Chu Yin's sudden closeness made Yin Fuxi's heart suddenly tighten, he stiffened his body and didn't dare to move, his little face was buried in his hard chest, his breath was full of male breath, but her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water without any fluctuations, she heard him whisper, "Lone is really more and more in love with Fuxi's side, Lone was cruel to you in the past, and when it comes to repayment, Lone should also owe you." ”

The slender hand held under the wide sleeve slowly loosened, slowly relaxing his body, and his thin lips were about to open to say something, but they were interrupted by a panicked cry.

"Emperor, Emperor is not good!"

The person who came was a little eunuch in a royal blue palace robe, and at this moment he was being stopped by the guards and raised his hands and shouted.

The brewing warmth was broken, Chu Yin raised his sword eyebrows obliquely, a trace of warm anger crossed his eyes, let go of the person in his arms, and said coldly, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Yue, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly glanced at the guards, and the little eunuch felt the restraint of his body loosened, and he hurriedly crawled to the emperor.

"You'd better have something important, otherwise you'll ......" Chu Yin's words were full of displeasure.

"Minions... Slave..."The little eunuch couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a weak leg, and his prostrate body trembled slightly, "It's Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning suddenly fainted." ”

"Take Gu forward immediately!" Chu Yin scolded, and strode forward past Yin Fuxi.

……

The temperature around her body suddenly subsided, and Yin Fuxi stood in place in a daze, until Xiao Lian stepped forward and pulled her clothes and asked if she wanted to go back to the palace, she came back to her senses.

She pulled back her hair that was slightly messy by the autumn wind, and suddenly burst into a smile, that smile, with countless sadness and self-deprecation, opened her lips, but only said two words, "Let's go." ”

……

After returning to Yuxiu Palace, almost at the same time, Su Yue came to the door of the hall with a few little eunuchs holding Chu Yin's reward with both hands, especially a brocade box, Su Yue personally handed it over to Fuxi's hands, and told him to remember to open it.

Fu Xi asked Xiao Lian to take some silver taels and give them to those little eunuchs, and even wrapped a big red envelope for Su Yue before sending people away. After that, Fu Xi sat on the soft couch and played with the brocade box in his hand, thinking about Su Yue's words before leaving

"The slave is here to congratulate Niangniang, the emperor said that he will come to Yuxiu Palace later today, and Niangniang is preparing carefully."

Her lips hooked up a sarcastic smile, and she lifted the lid of the case, revealing a delicate hosta lying at the bottom of the box......

This hosta is exactly the same as the one in the past in terms of shape, size, and color, but it is not the one before after all. After all, how could the broken jade be restored?

She will always remember the Lantern Festival that night, she made an appointment with him to go to the Mandarin Duck River to put lanterns together, but was dispersed by the crowd, and finally met on the broken bridge on the Mandarin Duck River.

She put the lotus lantern with him, watching the lotus lantern drift farther and farther down the water waves, he locked himself in his arms, put on the hosta for himself, and then said softly, "Fuxi, can you marry me?" ”

At that moment, her heart was beating so urgently in her chest.

Later, the sharp hairpin cut through her fingertips, and in the third year of Yuxiu Palace, she finally broke the hairpin with her own hands and cut off the wisps of love between them.

Yin Fuxi sat in front of the bronze mirror, his hand caressing a red lotus petal under his collarbone, and the pupils under his half-drooping eyelids erased all the light, with countless coldness.

And this night, Chu Yin still didn't come to Yuxiu Palace in the end.
