In early autumn of September, after the last long call, the summer cicada suddenly fell to the ground silently. The dissipating heat finally disappeared after an autumn rain.

Yongxing Street, Hangzhou House.

The old apricot leaves are yellow, and after being beaten by the cold rain, the ground paved with bluestone is full of dead leaves. The servant of the Hangzhou Mansion was holding a broom in his hand and swept it one by one.

Under the verandah, the figure of Yuebai sat on the edge of the pillar, looking at the gloomy courtyard, slightly stunned.

"What are you thinking? Isn't it cold to sit under the porch? Shang Ying's voice sounded, and when he heard the words, he didn't know when he was standing on the edge of the small pool on the side of the hall.

Her body shrank suddenly, and she lowered her head and said, "No, it's nothing." Ever since Sang-young found out that she had been engaged, she suddenly became a little afraid to meet him, as if she had done something wrong.

Shang Ying glanced at her and frowned slightly, "How is the situation in the DPRK these days?" ”

"Asari's situation...... "At the beginning of the month, he was slightly stunned, and he came to his senses, and his words were a little more serious." After the Fenzhou Uprising was suppressed, some of the old ministers in the court began to favor the Western Party. It seems that Xu Shu is caught, it should not be long before he is caught. ”

Shang Ying nodded, "Xu Shu is only afraid that there are still people behind him, he is a minister, and it is not a simple matter to instigate Qin Hao of the same level." ”

At the beginning of the month, she was slightly shocked, but she didn't expect Shang Ying to think of going with her.

Although Shang Ying is a general, he is actually a loose official, and he cannot participate in the government and has no power in the army. The two thousand black-armored troops beside him were just the soldiers of the Xuanwu Mansion. Whether in the DPRK or in the army, he is a marginal person, but he can have a deep insight into these matters.

"I'm still wondering if there's a way to get the person behind him to show up, but this person is hiding a little deep, and I don't have a clue yet." At the beginning of the month, he hung his head and said a little depressed.

Shang Ying smiled and said eloquently: "It's okay, it will always come to light, you don't need to worry so much." After a pause, he said: "It is rumored that Your Majesty has taken a fancy to Miss Qingdai and recruited her into the palace?" ”

It is rumored that after Emperor Ming arrived in Hangzhou, he liked a maid of the Cheng family in Hangzhong, and it didn't take long for him to enlist her into the palace, but on the first day of entering the palace, he was rewarded with a concubine as a maidservant, so not many people cared about this matter.

"Well, during this time, the East Party is also moving frequently in the palace, and there are not many people who Your Majesty can trust, Qingdai she ...... The background is special, so he was summoned by His Majesty to the palace to assist. ”

Shang Ying raised his eyebrows secretly, looking at the melancholy moon, a trace of waves appeared in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, he turned his face sideways, and also looked at the rain on the ground and the apricot leaves wet.

The servant who swept the floor had left, and the courtyard was silent, except for the finch chirping on the branch.

"I—"

"You-"

The two of them spoke at the same time, stunned together, and after being a little embarrassed, Shang Ying coughed and said, "What's the matter with you, let's talk about it first." ”

"I ...... My marriage covenant is uncountable. Moonlight biting her lip, explained.

She has been thinking about the events of the day in the teahouse, and she wants to explain it but feels that this move is reminiscent, if she doesn't care about what he thinks of herself, why bother to explain it. After tossing and turning for many days, I saw him again today, and I didn't care about it in my heart.

Then admit it, it's not a shame to like him. She thought about it for the last time, and then she opened her mouth.

With that, she secretly glanced at Shang Ying to see how he reacted.

Shang Ying was stunned, looking at the anxious appearance of the beginning of the month, and sighed silently in his heart, "I know." He said quietly.

The beginning of the month was slightly shocked, "How do you know?" ”

"I guessed it."

The figure froze, and the little hand at the beginning of the month secretly picked the cracks in the wooden floor under the corridor. She suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart, why did she secretly think about it so much? She herself was a little confused.

In the gap between the gods, Shang Ying had already fluttered in and walked in front of her.

"Xu Yueyue." He whispered.

Yue Yue looked up suddenly, saw his eyebrows solemn, looking at him condescendingly, a trace of uneasiness swept through his heart, Yue Yue's hand quietly retracted into his sleeve, and slowly clenched into a fist.

"You...... Like me? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Shang Ying still asked. At the beginning of the month, his throat tightened, and his bright eyes instantly drooped. He still found out...... Also, how can you not find out if it's so obvious?

Gradually lowering her head, she bit her lip, and finally answered.

"Yes." She said calmly, but her heart was tumbling and surging like a sea in a storm, and her breathing gradually began to rapid, although there was little hope, but she still hoped for his response.

"Don't like me." Shang Ying's eyes darkened, and he said lightly.

Breathing sluggishly, a miserable smile hung on the face with his head down, even if he had vaguely known the result, but when he actually heard it, his heart was still torn open.

"yes, I know." She said in a muffled voice, but what's the use of knowing, if you can really suppress this heart and not think about it, where are there so many crazy men and women in the world?

Shang Ying looked at the depressed little head, and her heart was also strained, resisting the urge to appease her, she took a few steps back, and the sound of clothes passing by sounded in the wind, but when she looked up again at the beginning of the month, there was no one in front of her.

Eyes down again, tears falling.

In Yuehua Palace, a woman in a pink skirt and a scarlet shirt sat alone in front of the stage, looking at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, with a gloomy expression.

"Niangniang, Your Majesty said that you won't come today, Niangniang should rest early." Qing Dai, who was dressed in palace clothes, walked in and saluted to the woman in front of her.

The woman who was called Niangniang turned around and looked at Qing Dai with a cold expression, "Your Majesty called you to Fenglu Garden again today?" ”

Qing Dai froze for a moment, but said calmly on her face: "Your Majesty likes the tea made by slaves and maids, and when fishing in Fenglu Garden, call slaves and maids over to serve a cup of tea." ”

The woman had a sarcastic smile on her face, and finally got up slowly and asked the palace maids to wait for the change of clothes and go to bed.

Qing Dai walked out of the palace gate and sighed softly. Looking up at the autumn night, the stars were shining, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.

This imperial palace is full of foolish and resentful women, and there are rumors.

In order to avoid people's eyes, the emperor immediately gave her to the concubine of Yuehua Palace as a maid after announcing her entry into the palace.

Concubine Chen is also one of the concubines selected by the Inner Court Division, and was originally titled Le Concubine. It is said that not long after entering the palace, he was caught by the emperor at a glance, and he was named Concubine Chen and given to live in Yuehua Palace.

This concubine is elegant in appearance and quiet in temperament, and there is nothing special about it. will be photographed by the emperor entirely because of her identity background, according to Guo's father-in-law's words, it is relatively clean. Coupled with that well-behaved character, she is not very good at causing trouble, so the emperor arranged Qingdai to her side.

After entering the palace, Qing Dai found that the person who has lived in the deep palace since he was a child is different, and his mind is deep to the bottom of the sea, and ordinary people can't guess it.

As soon as she entered the palace, there was all kinds of news in the palace, and after staying in the palace for less than half a day, the palace ladies happened to use various names to find out her identity, and naturally she was inevitably suppressed as the object of competition for favor.

But in the afternoon, the emperor took her to Yuehua Palace for a ride and gave it to Concubine Chen, and those ladies soon stopped.

In the future, as soon as the emperor went fishing in the Wind Dew Garden, he would call her to accompany her to serve tea, and those in the palace who could look at her knew that the emperor still remembered her, and there were no longer many palace people looking for fault.

This made her take advantage of the situation to mix like a fish in water, and soon occupied a place in this deep palace. (To be continued.) )
