Although Fu Qizheng knew that Du Xirui was in the hands of the queen, where could she hide her, if she could be solved, everything would fall into place. was about to go out to Yi'an Palace, but was bumped into by Qiao Yanyi, who ran in in despair.

Qiao Yanyi was shocked at this time, and hurriedly excused herself: "Niangniang, the slave didn't mean it. ”

Fu Qizheng raised his hand to signal Qiao Yanyi to get up, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong, it's like losing your soul." ”

Before Qiao Yanyi could answer, he heard a voice outside: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart, even if I don't go to ......"

Liu Yi looked outside the door, covered her mouth and snickered: "It must be Lord Ling who is here again." ”

Although Qiao Yanyi was silent, her expression was already bored.

"I was about to let you follow the main palace to Yi'an Palace, but now it seems that you still don't go out." Xiao Pingzi came in again to report: "Master, Tang Luofeng is crazy. "Give him to the Queen." After Fu Qizheng finished speaking, he took Liu Yi out of the hall.

As soon as he walked out of Jingyi Gate, he bumped into Ling Binwei who was wandering in front of the door and reciting poetry.

Liu Yi hurriedly massaged Fu Qizheng and soothed: "Niangniang is fine." ”

Ling Binwei was also taken aback, and arched his hand: "I entered the country with a poem for a while, and I didn't see my mother, forgive my sins." But his eyes kept looking behind Fu Qizheng.

Fu Qizheng naturally knew that he was looking at Qiao Yanyi, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't given up after coming back from Suzhou, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Lord Ling for a long time, but when I see it today, why did I chant poems in front of the gate of this palace, I think Lord Ling is not interested in the affairs of literati and artists?" ”

Ling Binwei said solemnly: "This is called doing what he likes and learning from the emperor." ”

"When did the emperor teach Lord Ling this?"

"Isn't it better for the emperor to want Yun Shangyin?"

When Fu Qizheng heard this, his expression was a little gloomy, and he was silent for a moment and said: "This is the harem, Lord Ling comes and goes so casually, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, let's go back early, Lord Ling rest assured, Yan Yi is very good by the side of the palace, and the palace will definitely not lose her." ”

"Don't, I finally entered the palace once, and I have to thank Niangniang for bringing Yi'er back to the palace, so as not to suffer from lovesickness for thousands of miles." Ling Binwei gestured.

Fu Qizheng couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth and smiled: "Yi'er, isn't Lord Ling's wife also named Luan Yi, why don't you see Mrs. Ling?" ”

"Talking to the old man at the Queen Mother's place, it's hard for me to get out."

Fu Qizheng shook his head helplessly, knowing that he couldn't drive him away, so he also let him go.

In Yi'an Palace, Concubine Zhen's mood seems to have improved a lot, and the sadness between her eyebrows has also faded a lot, but she still has no door to leave, and few people come to visit, Yi'an Palace is really deserted.

"I heard that Xia Luanyi entered the palace to visit the Queen Mother again, in the past few months, the Queen Mother has been close to the Xia family, and I heard that Xia Mingxu is bound to win the position of secretary of the Ministry of War." Concubine Zhen said.

Fu Qizheng smiled indifferently: "The Queen Mother's mind is not only to win over the Xia family, the Queen Mother of the Chen family is also watching, and now there is no open courting, perhaps because she is afraid of Hua Guifei, after all, in Hua Guifei's opinion, Chen Xiying is the person on her boat, and the Queen Mother wants to snatch it for the queen, but she doesn't dare to hurt the harmony." ”

"Chen Xiying has long been inclined to the queen, and now it is a matter of currying favor on both sides, and it is only a matter of time before the Chen family stands on the side of the queen mother, but in this way, the situation of your Fu family can be ......" Concubine Zhen looked at Fu Qizheng and said worriedly.

Fu Qizheng then remembered something important, and hurriedly said: "Chen Xihan may be a flaw in the alliance between the Queen Mother and the Chen family, yesterday my sister came to inform me that Chen Xihan has a birthmark behind him, I expect that Chen Xihan should be a show girl instead of a palace maid, and the mother might as well look for the clue of the show girl first." ”

Concubine Zhen nodded lightly: "This is easy to do, this palace is now living in a shallow place, and it can be searched quietly." He said with concern, "Is there any news for Du Xirui?" ”

Fu Qizheng hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "I haven't disappeared for a while, my sister said that she has been searched outside the palace, and Du Xirui should still be in the palace." "If you tell Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen is bound to ask the reason, then you have to mention Youzhu, Yu Youzhu has one more person who knows that this is her help, it is not conducive to her situation, if it affects her, it is really worthy of her painstaking guidance.

Concubine Zhen said again: "The maid that the queen asked you to choose, do you have a favorite?" If you are really afraid that you will not be able to find a credible person, you can choose two from this palace. ”

Fu Qizheng then said: "This matter is not in a hurry, the minions in the palace are enough to summon, let's pick it slowly." ”

"For those rumors, this palace has already told you, and if you hear too much, you will believe it and even believe it, so don't blame the emperor, I heard that the emperor hasn't been to you for a few days." Concubine Zhen persuaded.

"Kikite knows." Hastily prevaricated, Fu Qizheng couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, the emperor believed it, how could she not believe it, and now she is willing to believe that there is no wind and no waves, maybe she can understand but can't understand, even if she hasn't seen her again for many days, her heart is still a heart knot.

The more I wanted to hide, the more I couldn't hide, and I met it on the way back to Jingyi Palace. Raising his eyes, the royal chariot is getting closer. Fu Qizheng retreated to the palace wall and stood with heavy eyes, until the group approached, and Fu bent down, until a pair of slender hands stretched out.

Emperor Yuan helped Fu Qizheng up, but Fu Qizheng stood up but still lowered his head and refused to raise it.

"How long are you going to hide?" Emperor Yuan said softly.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Fu Qizheng said indifferently.

"Tell me, is it because of the palace maid's affairs that I can't let go, or those false rumors."

Fu Qizheng suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Yuan: "The emperor thinks so." ”

Emperor Yuan was very embarrassed, and frowned: "I have to take care of the overall situation. ”

It was all speculation before, but now there is an answer, the monarch should be the most important, Yufei's life is like an ant, and his own joys and sorrows are not worth mentioning, how can he be compared with the overall situation. Fu Qizheng smiled: "It is a blessing for the world that the emperor takes care of the overall situation, the emperor is the emperor of the world, you don't have to take care of the concubines alone, or that sentence, there is never a shortage of concubines around the emperor." ”

"Qizheng." Emperor Yuan shouted, wanting to pull Fu Qizheng's hand.

Fu Qizheng quickly owed, and suddenly passed away from Emperor Yuan's side.

Liu Yi hurriedly followed behind Fu Qizheng and said as she walked: "There must be a misunderstanding between the master and the emperor, and it should be explained clearly to the emperor." ”

"Okay, this palace has its own measure." Fu Qizheng said coldly.

Liu Yi didn't dare to say anything, and followed silently, but saw that Fu Qizheng did not have the intention of returning to Jingyi Palace directly, but walked in the other direction. After walking for a long time, when I looked up, I realized that I had come to Chulan Palace.

Fu Qizheng moved inside, the familiar scenery, along the way, the house is the same, but the door is closed. The figure was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard, sweeping the floor was trivial, but meticulous.

Fu Qizheng walked to Nian Jin'an's side and said softly: "Aunt Nian, how can you use your aunt to do such things." ”

Nian Jin'an was very surprised when he saw Fu Qizheng, and stopped what he was doing to ask for peace: "Slave and maid see Niangniang." ”

"Auntie, please." Fu Qizheng stood up.

"How did the mother get here?"

"If you don't come, I don't know that my aunt is so lonely here." Fu Qizheng looked around, it was very quiet, there was no one else except Nian Jin'an, and said, "This Chulan Palace is no longer as prosperous and lively as it was back then. ”

Nian Jin'an muttered: "Chulan Palace was originally used as a temporary residence for draft girls, except for the month every three years, and only then will the inner government send more palace maids over, and they are so vacant on weekdays, and the slaves and maids are used to it." ”

Fu Qizheng said: "Auntie, can I accompany the palace to Lanxia Hall to have a look." ”

"Mother, please."

Fu Qizheng left Liu Yi in the garden, walked into the Lanxia Hall with Nian Jin'an, and closed the door. It's still the same furnishings, it hasn't changed at all, even Wen Yue's piano is still on the desk, but it has been covered with a lot of dust, and I know that no one has played it for a long time. The small stool in front of the window, sitting in front of the window at night, lying on the window railing and quietly looking at the stars and moon in the night sky, was out of his mind for a while.

Fu Qizheng walked over, brushed off the dust on the stool, sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "This palace used to sit here and think about what it would be like after the election, whether it was unsuccessful as a female official, or whether it was a random position to spend a life in obscurity in this palace. ”

"The mother is not a thing in the pool."

Fu Qizheng immediately said: "Aunt shouldn't be a thing in the pool. Seeing Nian Jin'an's face showing surprise, he smiled faintly, "My aunt entrusts her life in the deep palace, I don't think she will be willing to devote herself to this perennial cold and lonely Chulan Palace forever." ”

"How willing, what if unwilling, this is the number of lives that Niangniang said." Nian Jinan said helplessly.

"How do you know if you want to be like this until the end?" Fu Qizheng paused and said, "I came here this time to ask my aunt to leave Chulan Palace and come to the palace. ”

Nian Jin'an was stunned when he heard this, and lowered his eyes: "How can the slave and maid He De be able to serve the mother." ”

"My aunt is now in charge of Chulan Palace, and I can't wronged my aunt when I go to Jingyi Palace in this palace, and the position of head of Jingyi Palace is naturally none other than my aunt, although I am still in charge for the time being, but this palace can assure my aunt that my aunt will never be in charge of just one palace in her life."

"The position of the head of the ministry has not come easily, and the slave and maid are already content, and dare not seek anything else."

"Xia Luan regret was also a show girl in this palace at the beginning, but now she is a female official in Chongyi, does my aunt still sigh that she is not as good as a newcomer Xia Luan? If the aunt is willing to follow and help the palace, the palace should also compete for the honor of the aunt. ”

"Mother is talking about ......"

Fu Qizheng smiled, looked at Nian Jin'an, and said slowly: "Naturally, she is a female official." ”

"That's the queen's side......" Nian Jin'an was stunned, and saw that Fu Qizheng was still smiling, so he knew it and thought silently for a long time.

Fu Qizheng knew that anyone who listened to such words would hesitate, and he was not in a hurry to let her reply, after all, ambition is ambition, if the heart is higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper, it is wishful thinking. Get up, push open the window, stand in front of the window and the cool breeze hits, see the empty branches outside trembling lightly, shaking off a few dead leaves flying, you know that autumn is about to end.

"The slave is willing to follow the mother, no matter what the wealth, fame and fortune are, the grace of the mother's encounter, the slave and the maid should share the honor and disgrace with the mother."

Fu Qizheng turned around when he heard this, and saw that Nian Jin'an was already kneeling behind him, so he smiled lightly: "Auntie, don't worry, this palace promises my aunt's affairs, and I should go all out." ”
