Changle Palace.

Emperor Zhao finished asking the question, and got the answer he wanted satisfactorily, and the heaviest stone that weighed on his heart was removed, and his heart gradually became lighter. Although there are still many troubles that have not been solved, he doesn't want to bother thinking about it now, he just wants to soothe his heart that has been overworked and frightened for the past few days.

He stretched out his hand to pull Empress Li, who had helped him ascend to the throne and had not been fortunate for many days, into his arms, played with the pearls on her earlobes, and said in her ear: "Queen, it's late at night, go to bed with me." ”

Empress Li's face was slightly red, and she wrapped her hands around his neck like a girl who was just beginning to fall in love, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the concubines are a little hungry, can you accompany the concubines to eat some supper?" ”

"What's wrong with that." Emperor Zhao responded.

"Your Majesty." Empress Li pecked him lightly on the lips with flushed cheeks, then left his embrace and ordered someone to come in at night.

It was two young palace maids who brought supper. The dress of these two palace ladies is different from the others, I saw that they were covered in gauze skirts, their snow-white skin was faintly visible, their bodies were graceful, their faces were charming, and they exuded a confusing fragrance.

When Emperor Zhao saw them, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he looked at them carefully, and then asked Empress Li with a smile: "Empress, are these two newcomers?" I don't think I've seen it before. ”

Empress Li smiled gently: "Yes, they just entered the palace, and they were originally in the imperial garden to play with flowers and plants, but later the concubines saw them and saw that they were well-behaved and sensible, so they stayed by their side to serve." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and instructed the two palace maids: "Don't wait for the emperor to have supper." ”

"Yes." The two palace maids responded in unison, and their voices were tactful and listened to like a yellow warbler singing.

Emperor Zhao looked at it and became a little surprised. There are a lot of women in the harem, and there are not a few who are more beautiful than these two, but no matter how beautiful a person is, after seeing it for a long time, his eyes will be a little tired, and he will lose his freshness, but every time he comes to Changle Palace these times, the queen can always give him some surprises. Whether the queen wanted to curry favor with him or to use these beauties to share his favor with other concubines to secure his position, he was happy to accept it.

When the supper was finished, Emperor Zhao got up and said, "Empress, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with, so I will not accompany you today, and I will come to see you when I have time in the future." ”

Empress Li got up and sent it off: "The concubine understands, the concubine sends it to the emperor." ”

Emperor Zhao smiled and helped her up, then turned to leave.

Empress Li calmly looked at his departing figure, and instructed the two palace maids without looking back: "The emperor has worked hard to deal with the government affairs, you two will go and prepare some supper for the emperor to send over." ”

"Yes." The two palace maids hurried away.

After Emperor Zhao and the palace maids left, a grandmother came to Empress Li and said, "Niangniang, it's late at night, rest in peace." ”

Empress Li shook her head, turned around and walked towards the small Buddha hall, with a sad face and a low voice, "This palace will go to the Buddha hall to sit for a while." ”

Luan Ming Palace.

Yu Guifei Yu Fengluan, who was dressed in a red nightgown, sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, combing her long hair over and over again with a mahogany comb. This is what she has to do every day for more than ten years, and it has long become a habit that has been integrated into her life.

"Mother." At this time, the bead curtain was lifted, and a grandmother walked in.

Yu Fengluan didn't react and continued to move.

Mama understood her temperament, and she didn't expect her to respond, so she said to herself: "Niangniang, the emperor went to Changle Palace tonight. ”

Yu Fengluan was still unmoved.

Mama continued: "But then the emperor left again, but what is strange is that the queen sent two more beauties over. ”

Hearing this, Yu Fengluan's movements in his hands stopped, and a pair of eyes that were as agile as autumn water turned slightly, but he did not speak.

Seeing that she still didn't look concerned, Mama couldn't help but be anxious, and said in a hurried voice: "This is the third time." The emperor didn't go to Changle Palace many times, and he finally went, and the queen didn't want to try to stay, and even personally selected beauties to serve the emperor, didn't Niangniang think it was strange? ”

Yu Fengluan's brows gradually frowned, and she got up lightly and walked back and forth in the room in contemplation, her long hair that almost touched the ground swayed gently as she walked.

Mama followed her for a few steps, and then approached her and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, it won't be the queen who found out about the emperor......"

Yu Fengluan looked back at her sharply, a little incredulous: "You mean ......?"

Mama nodded.

Yu Fengluan was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "It's unlikely, if she knew, why didn't she sue the emperor, would she just watch the emperor poison into the bone marrow?" ”

Mama reminded: "Don't forget, Niangniang, the queen knows medical science." ”

"This doesn't mean anything, which imperial doctor doesn't know medical science, but after so many years, hasn't anyone found out?"

"Niangniang is still careful, maybe after so many years, the toxins have accumulated to a certain extent, and it is time for symptoms to appear. The slave maid felt that the reason why the queen didn't say it was because she had lost her heart to the emperor and broke off the love between husband and wife. Since Niangniang entered the palace, the emperor has been very fond of Niangniang, coupled with the emperor's excessive attention to the second prince, as well as those rumors that the prince was abolished and re-established, I am afraid that the queen will feel that the status of the East Palace is in jeopardy, so she will do so. After all, as soon as the emperor goes, the crown prince can rightfully ascend to the throne. ”

Yu Fengluan looked at the moonlight outside the window and smiled bleakly, and sighed: "It's good to be able to break off love, and the queen is also a ruthless person." ”

Splendid Garden.

On this day, Gu Yunjin had nothing to do, so he crouched down in front of the table and practiced calligraphy.

"Miss, why don't you let the slave maid help you grind ink and lay paper in front of you?" Yue Liushao sat in the distance, asking suspiciously while doing needlework.

Gu Yunjin coughed lightly twice, and said without changing his face: "You guys are shaking in front of me to affect my writing, and I can do it myself." In fact, the main reason is that the gap between her current handwriting and the original owner's writing is too big, and they must have revealed her original form when they saw her.

"But these are the things that slaves and maids used to do." Where did Yue Liushao know her careful thoughts, and continued.

Gu Yunjin glanced at her, "It used to be before, and now it's now, what's the matter, you're still not happy to let you be a little more relaxed?" ”

"Of course I do, but the slave just thinks it's a little strange."

At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside the door: "Miss, the second miss is here." ”

When Gu Yunjin heard this, he immediately grabbed the paper full of words written in front of him and crumpled it into a ball, and then threw it into the waste bin.

"Sister." Gu Yunxin's brisk voice sounded, and he knew that he was in a good mood when he heard it.

Gu Yunjin asked her with a smile: "My sister seems to be in a good mood, why are you so happy?" ”

Gu Yunxin smiled embarrassedly, "It's nothing, it's just that my mother will take me and my sister to visit the princess in Nanling Palace, and my mother asked me to tell my sister and let my sister prepare." ”

Gu Yunjin couldn't help but be surprised, "Visiting the princess? Didn't you just go to the palace the day before yesterday? ”

Gu Yunxin replied: "My mother said that when I went the day before yesterday, there were too many guests in the palace, so I didn't talk to the princess much, and I didn't see the prince thank you in person. This morning, Erniang found two good ginseng sticks, which were just sent to the princess and the prince. “

Gu Yunjin was a little speechless, although she didn't see Dai Jinchao last time, the heavy gift had already been given, and she also expressed her gratitude in front of the princess, isn't this okay? Do you have to thank you in person?
