In that beautiful ink painting, it is a small water pavilion in Yun Changyan's hometown, which has the best memories of Yun Changyan's childhood.

In the spring of the year when Yun Changyan was ten years old, her father Yun Xu took her and her brother back to her hometown to worship their ancestors, and Shen Hao's mother and Yun Xiang happened to be the same villager, so the Yun family brothers and sisters lived in this hut with Shen Zhen for a few days at that time, and it was from then on that Yun Changyan and Shen Zhen became friends.

Mu Qing stared at the painting motionlessly, her thoughts returned to the past, and suddenly she had an illusion, as if the three of them were playing and chasing, and the carefree days were yesterday. It's a pity that all the flowers in the spring are beautiful, all of them are beautiful in an instant, and all the beautiful encounters have become the past....Mu Qing reached out in a trance and wanted to pick up the painting, but was suddenly stopped by Shen Zhen's loud shout. "Don't move!"

Mu Qing was stunned and returned to her brain with reason, and then she withdrew her hand awkwardly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

Shen Zhen seemed to realize that Fang Cai's reaction was a little too aggressive, so she embarrassedly put away all the paintings on the table, and explained in a dumb voice, "That's not what I meant. It's just a random painting with nothing to do, which is really difficult to get into the elegant hall, which makes Concubine Chen smile. ”

Mu Qing lowered his eyes and smiled disapprehantly, secretly put away the truest feelings in his heart, and when he looked up again, his eyes had recovered the indifference and profundity of the past. "The palace is complicated, people's hearts are restless, and my sister can still paint quietly every day, which is really rare. His Royal Highness's kite was also painted by Niangniang, right? ”

Shen Hao's eyes dodged, and she said weakly: "I... I've loved drawing birds since I was a kid. ”

What Shen Hao liked to draw when she was a child, Mu Qing knew better than anyone else, but of course she would not expose the other party's clumsy lies, but took the lead in changing the topic. "My sister has gone through prosperity, but she has never forgotten her original intention, which is admirable, but my sister still wants to advise my sister if she has some words. In this turbulence in the palace, who can really stay out of it? Just because you don't hurt others doesn't mean that others won't hurt you, and because you're compassionate doesn't mean that others will be grateful to you. Once you get involved in a battle between right and wrong, you have to be extra careful. There are many disturbances today, so my sister will leave. ”

After speaking, Mu Qing turned around and walked outside the house, and when he walked to the door, Shen Zhen's soft voice like a spring breeze came from behind him. "Then I will also advise my sister. No matter how good the thing is, no matter how much you want, you must know how to stop in moderation. Half a life of busyness is famous, there are gains and losses at first, and there is no win or loss in the end!"

Mu Qing paused for a moment, there seemed to be a thousand catties under her feet, and after a long time, she said with difficulty: "Sister Xie Zhen's teachings, my sister should keep it in mind." ”

As soon as Mu Qingyi stepped out of the palace gate of Yiqian Palace, the breath she was originally carrying instantly relaxed, and she leaned slightly against Zhu Yu's body. Zhu Yu could clearly feel that the master's pace was more vain than when he came out of the Queen Mother's bedroom just now, and even his breathing was slightly short. After the two returned to Chenzhi Palace, Zhu Yu hurriedly fed Mu Qing a pill given by Qiu Feng and handed him a cup of hot water, which made Mu Qing's face soothe a little.

Zhu Yu's hanging heart finally settled, but looking at Mu Qing's tired face, a heart-wrenching pain still rose in her heart. Zhu Yu wondered in her heart: Today's master's behavior is very abnormal, she has always disliked Concubine Zhen, and even deliberately avoided meeting several times, how could she take the initiative to talk to Concubine Zhen three times and twice today?

Zhu Yu asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong with you?" What did you say to Concubine? How did you come out of Yiqian Palace like this? ”

"I went to Yiqian Palace to find Shen Zhen today, because I wanted to win her over to deal with the queen together." Mu Qingdao.

"Woo Concubine Zhen?!" Zhu Yu was stunned and said, "Concubine Zhen has not been familiar with the world for many years, and she has no intention of fighting with anyone, how could Niang Niang think of trying to win her over?" Besides, you're not... Haven't you forgiven her yet? Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to help Concubine Zhen? ”

Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "This has nothing to do with whether or not she forgives. What's more, I didn't really want to help her when I went to woo her, it was just a means of temptation. I just want to see if this Shen Zhen really sees through the world, has no desires and desires, or is it inconsistent from the outside and the outside, and is Taoguang obscure? ”

Zhu Yu nodded clearly, and secretly admired Mu Qing's trick of throwing bricks and attracting jade. If Shen Zhenzhen accepted Mu Qing's wooing, it means that she intends to fight for a piece of land in the palace and fight for the high dragon chair for her son. But if Shen Zhen categorically refused, then they wouldn't have to worry that Concubine Zhen's mother and son would become a stumbling block for them in the future. "I see. Did the lady try to find out the result? Did she agree? ”

Mu Qing coughed lightly a few times and shook his head slowly. Zhu Yu felt strange in her heart, since it had been confirmed that Shen Zhen was not a person who was fighting for power and profit, why was the master still so sad? Zhu Yu just wanted to comfort Mu Qing for a few words, and then heard Mu Qing's ethereal voice ringing in her ears. "Dogwood, how fast do you think people's hearts can become? But if it's changed, why should we never forget it? Is it repentance of guilt? Or can't forget, dare not forget? ”

Mu Qing thought of the paintings he saw in Yiqian Palace, and every stroke was poured into the painter's hard work and memories, which could not be pretended, so it can be seen that Shen Zhen did not completely let go. But if she hadn't let go, what kind of mood did she have to become the prince's concubine back then? Shen Hao's father, Shen Daxue, is not a stubborn person, he has always loved his daughter, and if it wasn't for Shen Hao's personal consent, her father would not have forced her to marry the prince. Since you have chosen to enter the palace and choose to leave behind the past for the sake of wealth and glory, why should you miss it every day and pour all your memories and pours it into your pen?

Mu Qing suddenly sneered, she could count the dirty thoughts of the traitors in the court, but at this moment she couldn't see through the heart of this former best friend. Shen Zhen, Shen Zhen, what the hell do you think?

The more Zhu Yu listened, the more confused she became, but she didn't dare to ask more, for fear that the master would not be able to mention it at any time, so she could only persuade in a low voice: "Since Concubine Zhen has decided to join forces with us, then the master will not meet with Concubine Zhen alone in the future, so as to save your sad past." ”

"Yes, don't see me if you can, she's not my Zhen'er, and I'm not her Changyan, what's the point of saying goodbye?" Mu Qing nodded and said in a trance.

Seeing that Mu Qing was more and more sad, Taowu hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Niangniang, Taowu wrote today, saying that Tong Yuan had redeemed Youruo and taken her to a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and he didn't make any other moves. ”

Mu Qing knew that now was not the time to be sad and sad, and there were still too many things waiting for her to plan, so she immediately put away her feelings. "Really? Already taken people away so quickly? It seems that in a few days, he will come to the door himself. ”
