She rubbed her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Let the concubine wait, and the palace will go later." But I still can't help but hold back a mouthful of blood, when not to pick, but to pick this time? Originally, I still wanted to be alone with Wei Yang until sunset, but now it seems that I can only soak in the soup halfway, and the frequent visits of good concubines recently are definitely not expected by Shen Shuzhao, and even she still can't figure out where there is a good place in Bailu Palace to be nostalgic?

"Concubine Liang and you have been very close recently." Wei Yang interjected coldly when her mind wandered, Shen Shuzhao suddenly perked, she could hear Wei Yang's tone was very ordinary, but she was a ghost in her heart, and hurriedly cleared up: "In recent months, her biological father has been repeatedly reprimanded by the Xi Concubine Xu family in the court for investigating cases, and she is also walking on thin ice in the harem, if she is in danger, it will be unfavorable to the emperor and the queen mother, I should protect her, how can I sit idly by?" ”

Shen Shuzhao explained in a panic, Wei Yang closed her eyes slightly, as if she saw through the eagerness in her heart. Shen Shuzhao coughed dryly, "I'm afraid that Concubine Xi will harm her, you know that Concubine Gu's matter is still shocking, and there will be innocent people in the palace who will die in the future, isn't human life really like a mustard?" ”

When the word death was mentioned, Wei Yang's face finally reacted. Shen Shuzhao thought that she was worried about the cruel actions of the concubines in the Six Palaces, and pushed: "Let's go." Don't keep guests waiting. The two walked through the courtyard of falling flowers, and finally came to the inner room of the dormitory, and when the concubine had been outside for a long time, she naturally didn't know what Shen Shuzhao thought.

After that, the guests were entertained with meticulous care, presenting ice cakes, making tea, and playing chessboards, and the morning was consumed in the sound of black and white chess. Before leaving, the good concubine said to Shen Shuzhao with guilt: "The concubine never thought that the eldest princess would be here, if she knew about it in the morning, she wouldn't come." ”

Shen Shuzhao replied with a smile: "What's the matter?" In fact, what she thought in her heart was that she would come next time anyway, and she couldn't count the number of times she said this.

After sending off the concubine, Shen Shuzhao withdrew from the identity of the palace concubine, and the hypocritical response to the province in the morning and dusk on weekdays was already very tired, and she had to meet the concubines who came to show her goodwill in her spare time, and she was even more overwhelmed. She sighed, there was no way to spoil the communication brought by the fake identity of the concubine was inevitable.

Wei Yang put his hand on Shen Shuzhao's forehead, and his cold five fingers suddenly dropped to annoyance and calm, Shen Shuzhao was obediently probed by her temperature, and she knew that Wei Yang's concern had always been reflected in his actions. Wei Yang was asking her, are you tired? Shen Shuzhao wanted to go back helplessly, he was tired.

"I see that you are upset, tired and written, you should take a nap."

"It's not too much of a hindrance, it's all what this identity should bear."

"It's better to take a break, there will be more people visiting the White Dew Palace at noon."

"I'm resting, what will happen when they come? It is too troublesome for the concubines to make up, and they are disrespectful to me and them. Shen Shuzhao resigned again and again.

"That's all gone." Wei Yang put his arm around her, "You call it sick." ”

Shen Shuzhao blinked, as if she didn't understand why Wei Yang would say such a thing, she looked left and right and saw that the palace people had already retreated, so she was relieved to burrow into her arms, and said naughtily: "It turns out that the eldest princess is also a person who can lie, and her face is not red and her heart does not beat when she lies." ”

"It's a fact, you see what they have done to the people of the eldest princess."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

She moved towards the inner room step by step, Wei Yang was slowly retreated by her, and the two retreated to the innermost end of the dormitory, and the cool jade curtain on the top of the screen door passed, sliding on the skin crispy and numb. The pear-green window curtains are closed, and the daylight outside the eaves is blocked, and the cold incense and carmine are mixed in the bedroom. The evergreen silk was spread on the soft soot quilt that was soft like ripples, and Shen Shuzhao was lying on Wei Yang's side, breathing evenly, and it didn't fit his eyes.

The two of them slept together, peacefully, silently, listening to the autumn breeze outside the window rolling flowers, and occasionally the apricot yellow petals that escaped from the hands floated to the bed. Shen Shuzhao's eyes were all attracted, and after a while, Wei Yang's voice sounded in his ears, "You never sleep." ”

Shen Shuzhao turned sideways, propped up her head and approached her, and said lightly and ambiguously, "With you by my side, I can't sleep." ”

"And you, what do you want me to do?"

"I miss you...... Stay a little longer. ”

"How long?"

"How do I know?"

"You can take as long as you want."

Shen Shuzhao blushed when she heard this, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense." Then she leaned her face against Wei Yang's chest, "I didn't expect that it was autumn before I knew it, and many months had passed since I was ordered to enter the palace by the Queen Mother, and I almost forgot what it was like to live in the Shen Mansion." ”

The autumn scenery is always touching, and Wei Yang can also understand, "It's better to go and see your mother when you leave the palace in recent days." ”

"I also want to do it very much, but the shape of the palace is steep and dangerous, and I can't get out."

"What's going on these days?"

Shen Shuzhao's eyes blinked, she couldn't say anything about the unprovoked drowning of the good concubine in her previous life, even if she couldn't guess in her heart that seven or eight points were killed by Concubine Xi.

"It's too much."

Wei Yang took pity on her, "You just be careful." ”

"Let's rest, don't talk about hard work." Shen Shuzhao said as he pillowed beside her.

"I'll close the window for you." Wei Yang got up from the warmth of the embroidered quilt, "It's cold outside." ”

She walked to the window, closed the window carefully, the cool breeze leaked in while the last one slipped in, causing the bed tent to move slightly, Shen Shuzhao has been blown cold from time to time, but because she was already lying in it, she didn't bother to get up, so she didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, Wei Yang still noticed it. She stared at Wei Yang, who had long hair hanging down her waist, stretched out her slender hand to close the window, and this scene actually reminded her of the things in the Shen Mansion in the old days, and she said in a daze: "I have been in the palace for many days, and there are no palace people to serve in the house, so I am too lazy to get up and move." When I thought of the Shen Mansion, I had done everything myself since I was a child, and I was afraid that I would bother others. At the end of the year, when the winter turns, ask the maid when she will have thick clothes, she will eat her face, three meals are cold, and she will not be able to see her father alone a few times a year. The eldest lady is strict in management, has a pungent temperament, and treats the concubines and concubines badly, and others turn a blind eye. I remember that when I was eight years old, I had a famous brother who landed three years earlier than my eldest son, who was born to the concubine Luo, he was kind to us, smart and clever, and my husband also praised a lot of talent, and my father began to pay attention to him. Later, after the winter, one day he died unexpectedly, it was colder than now, and the scenery was more desolate than now. Aunt Luo later cried at the funeral and her eyes were red, and she didn't go down for several months, and the eldest lady went to see her who was sick, but she knocked over all the medicine primers, and angrily scolded the eldest lady for being jealous that she was pregnant with a man first, and it was her hands and feet. I was in the courtyard with the concubines and concubines to visit, I heard these in a daze, my mother covered my ears and didn't let me listen, and I didn't understand what to say next, I only knew that the scolding was ugly, and then it didn't take long for Aunt Luo to commit suicide by swallowing gold. ”

Shen Shuzhao stared out the window, her eyes fell into the old thoughts, these were all things from her previous life, which seemed to be very close to her in this life, but in fact they were very far away. In addition, she grew up, entered the palace, was given death, and was reborn a few years ago, and it has been nearly twenty years since she went back and forth. People can only remember a vague approximation.

"How good it would be if the eldest brother died in the autumn, and there were fallen flowers and fallen leaves as a companion, and the red dust was dashing, and he was not alone in the field. In winter, the snow is covered with snow, bury it, add two or three snowy soils, cold, lonely. Four or five incense sticks in, six or seven people worship, and it's over, so young, there's nothing left. I remember that my eldest brother has always lived very fast and freely, smiling at everything, such a healthy teenager, suddenly died of illness in a month, and he couldn't see anyone, it was really terrible. ”

Wei Yang stood by the long window, backlit and shrouded in hazy darkness, unable to distinguish her face. She quietly listened to Shen Shuzhao's words, throughout the ages, no family has no worries, fighting back and forth, in the interests and rights, conscience has long been lost, and family affection has also been destroyed. But who can accuse either side of the guilt of exerting too much force? If they don't, it's themselves who should cry again.

"Tell me more about your childhood." Wei Yang sat down and gently stroked the broken hair of Shen Shuzhao's sideburns, "I want to hear it." ”

"It's all about the same thing as the harem." Shen Shuzhao smiled, "The eldest lady doesn't wait to see her concubine, she was sent by the Jiang family to marry, so she naturally has a reason to govern the backyard." Father's concubines used to be in groups, and almost all of them were young and beautiful, and it was normal for her to have grievances in her heart, such as Aunt Luo, who lost her son, was only twenty-seven. My mother and I have lived a quiet and ordinary life since we were children, except for the eldest lady who will bully my mother, I am still cold, and my temperament has not been much up and down. I feel that the four corners of the yard are a lifetime, forever trapped, not eating well, not wearing warm, but I haven't experienced what it's like when it's good, so I'm at a loss. Now I live in the palace with fine clothes and food, and I often feel like I had nothing back then, which is really pitiful. When I was a child, I would ask my grandmother, Shen Fu treats us badly, why can't my mother take me away. So the mother put down the needle and thread in her hand in a panic, and rebuked softly: "How can you say these nonsense, the Shen Mansion is our home, and we can't leave." I shook my head and asked why I stayed because I couldn't see my father or my grandmother, but stayed in the courtyard every day and waited for food to be delivered, and my mother laughed and said, "If you leave, your grandmother will be gone." I didn't understand what she meant, but it dawned on me that she was talking about a concubine, a concubine of your family, and there was no other possibility than to be carried out dead. ”

Wei Yang listened to the growing sadness in his eyes, and said slowly: "I thought you were doing well in the Shen Mansion, at least you had no worries about food and clothing. The old lady pities you so much, why don't you ignore it? ”

Shen Shuzhao hurriedly stopped in her heart, the old lady had a lot of hard work in this life to win her attention, all of them were accumulated experience, where was the hardship she endured in her previous life comparable, but then she thought about it, where did she come from in this life now? This poor day has never happened before, and she hurriedly said, "Ahem...... Ay! I'm also afraid of her because I have a gap with the eldest lady. Although it is not as good as ordinary people's homes, it is enough. Don't talk about me, what about you, what is there to talk about when you were a child? In fact, since I was nine years old, I have been yearning for the court life of the princesses mentioned in the opera. ”
