The night sky in early spring is still cold, and a full moon is like an indispensable companion, but it is lonely and cold when it is quietly reflected in the wine glass in the sky.

"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio." He looked at Mingyue and raised the bottle of Mingyue in his hand, but the spicy taste was heavy in his heart when he drank it.

Concubine Yao stood here and looked at the imperial concubine on the side: "Sister." ”

The voice was weak and helpless, as if it contained some kind of expectation and reminder.

The imperial concubine's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, looking at the person pouring wine alone, it was like seeing Xiao Yi.

The man who left behind himself threw her hand away when she needed him the most. The tassels on her hairpin were rustled by the wind, like the bells that had been tied to her sword.

"Tonight, serve the emperor." The imperial concubine put down these words and turned around to leave her with a beautiful figure. She looked at the back, and always felt that the back showed a certain affection for the imperial concubine. Turning around and coming to the emperor, this dress was made by her imitation of the dance dress of the Empress Dowager at that time.

He looked up, with a bright face and delicate lips, wasn't this what he thought about day and night? It turned out that she had really forgiven her, hugged her, kissed the petite earlobe, and the slight bite made Concubine Yao a little unaccustomed, pushed away the emperor, and started her own dancing.

Graceful, light and charming. Like a ghost in the mountains, like a butterfly in a hollow valley, dancing.

Yao Concubine worked hard to show every dance step of the folded sleeve dance, every movement strived to be perfect, her clothes fluttered and fluttering, a pair of ** sometimes raised high and sometimes lightly toe, sometimes hovering and flying, falling to the ground and rolling leaves、、、

In front of the emperor, he seemed to see the virtuous mother many years ago, when she was dancing quietly in the moonlight, and at that time she was like this behind her, with the same round of bright moon.

Thinking that he wanted to see the face of the dancing man, the woman turned his head, and he found that it was the virtuous concubine.

He looked blankly and stretched out his hand to grab the concubine's clothes and ask her why she left him, and now that he was back, the concubine slowly walked up to him: "Che'er,"

The soft and slender fingers caressed his face, and he didn't feel any discomfort on his body, quietly enjoying the soft touch, he closed his eyes, as if he was intoxicated in a dream, and the surroundings were quiet as if tonight was just an ordinary night.

The next day, the emperor woke up, the bright yellow tent top embroidered with a golden dragon and phoenix, the ambergris in the hall is still so familiar, smelled at the end of the nose, but smelled a fragrance of orchids, looked at the person sitting in front of the bronze mirror, but could not see the shape, he sat up with his hands, it seemed that the movement was too big to startle the woman, the woman turned around, it turned out to be a bright face, it was her.

"Why are you here?" The emperor was a little surprised, he didn't remember what happened last night, and his head still hurt a little, reminding him of what happened yesterday.

Looking at the emperor's questioning eyes, Concubine Yao was a little aggrieved: "Don't you remember, it was the imperial concubine who introduced the concubine to dance for the emperor last night, and the emperor brought the concubine to this Tongtai Palace." ”

The emperor looked at her and said more and more quietly, and his face was red like a ripe fruit, and suddenly everything became clear.

"Was it really recommended by the imperial concubine?" The emperor's voice trembled a little, and Concubine Yao was a little scared, and suddenly knelt in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it was the concubine who danced that dance for the emperor yesterday. Last night, the imperial concubine saw that the concubines were tired of dancing, so she arranged for the concubines to serve the emperor, and begged the emperor not to blame the mother. Concubine Yao lowered her head, her eyes filled with clear tears, pitiful.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but soften his heart a little: "You get up, it's not easy for you these days." I ask you, just now you said dancing, but I don't know which dance? ”

Concubine Yao was shocked in her heart, but she still said: "Folding sleeves dance." ”

Sleeve Dance? The emperor stood up, the plane tree outside had sprouted, and the new green leaves grew like a newborn baby.

Concubine Yao looked at the emperor, but she didn't know why the emperor's thoughts fell on a plane tree: "Why is the emperor looking at the plane tree outside?" ”

The emperor turned around and helped her up with his own hands: "Yes, the sycamore tree outside is already so tall unconsciously, but I forgot, the eldest princess is already eleven years old, and it will be time to marry in two years." ”

The corners of Concubine Yao's lips raised slightly: "Sister Lianru is a blue heart, smart and lovely, our eldest princess is also cute in ice and snow, the emperor might as well go to Yilan Hall to have a look." ”

The emperor nodded: "What Concubine Ai said is true." ”

On this day, the weather was exceptionally bright, and the flowers next to the Taiye Pond had already bloomed, and those wildflowers were not as noble as the flowers in the Imperial Garden, but because no one had deliberately managed them, the scattered colors added a bit of interest.

Ning Guiyi looked at the lake of this Taiye Pond, and remembered the scene of playing with Yao Concubine in the past, as if she remembered it vividly, these wildflowers were like herself at that time, Yao Tingfei at that time.

"Master." Luan Er reminded softly, she relieved herself, turned around, and the wildflowers were left behind her.

"This concubine knows what you want to say, but this concubine knows that Concubine Yao will not let go of this concubine, when this concubine treated her like that, she can't wait for this concubine to die now, but this concubine will never let her get her wish." A trace of ruthlessness crossed Ning Guiyi's eyes, and then she regained her gentle appearance, "However, this concubine should be grateful to her, if it weren't for her, how could this concubine get her current status, not to mention, this concubine has three princes, she Yao has nothing, and a daughter is just given back to her by the imperial concubine." ”

Luan'er said softly: "Has the master forgotten about the nurse?" ”

Ning Guiyi's expression froze: "Why did you suddenly mention this?" ”

Luan Er leaned into Ning Guiyi's ear and said, "The emperor has already found out that the nurse did not commit suicide, but the queen instigated someone to push it down." ”

Ning Guiyi stroked her chest, but she was panicked: "When you are doing things, no one really sees it?" ”

Luan'er shook her head: "The slave didn't see anyone there. ”

Ning Guiyi exhaled, thinking in her heart, could it be that the emperor already knew?

"If it weren't for the slut of chess, how could the master suddenly fall out of favor?" Luan'er said softly, "Don't give up on yourself, feng shui takes turns, today you are on the throne and tomorrow she is on the throne, the slave and maid don't understand, Concubine Yao will fall out of favor one day." ”

Ning Guiyi was about to reprimand him, but saw a tall woman walking over from the willow forest on the side, and said as she walked: "It turns out that Wan'er and this Aunt Luan'er think the same. ”

It turned out to be Xin Wanrong Ning Wan'er, the cousin of the imperial concubine.

Ning Guiyi didn't know how much she had heard, she smiled slightly, with a little contempt in her eyes: "I guess who this concubine is, it turns out to be the cousin of the imperial concubine, what a coincidence, I don't know when my sister came?" ”

Ning Wan'er naturally knew the meaning, and blessed her body: "The concubine asked Ning Guiyi to say goodbye." ”

Ning Guiyi frowned when she saw that she didn't answer: "Sister, why be polite, just get up." ”

Ning Wan'er straightened up, and her eyes flashed with an unknown meaning: "The concubine really doesn't understand what my sister meant. A few days ago, my sister wanted to visit my sister, and it happened that my sister's chamberlain said that my sister was unwell, but I didn't expect to meet here all of a sudden, it's really fate. ”

Ning Guiyi looked behind her, she didn't bring a maid, and was a little surprised: "Why didn't my sister's maid go along?" ”

Ning Wan'er raised her eyebrows: "The concubine's maid went to Chengqian Palace to deliver cheese rice cakes to the imperial concubine, so the concubine is waiting for her here." ”

"It turns out that my sister is also a person who can be subservient."

Ning Guiyi said this, and then swayed towards the east, Ning Wan'er looked at the back of Ning Guiyi leaving, and felt a faint chill in her heart.

Ning Guiyi doesn't seem to be as simple as they say.

Ning Wan'er wiped the cold sweat on her head, looked at the calm Taiye Pool, and in a trance, it seemed to return to her cousin's entrustment before entering the palace.

"Wan'er, your cousin is in trouble, you have to listen to your cousin's words and don't act arbitrarily."

"Wan'er, you are an excellent woman of the Ningyao family, and you must put the interests of the family first."

"Wan'er, don't forget your promise today."

If there is an afterlife, cousin, Wan'er will hold your hand and never separate.
