In the imperial city, it is covered in silver.

The first snow in Dingjing City fell when Xingzhao went to see off Second Lady He and Xingming out of the palace gate, the dusk under the twilight, the snow particles falling from the flutter, and the reddish eyes of the little lady leaning next to the green car.

It's like a painting of ink and blue, and it's like a sad word.

Xingzhao absentmindedly scooped up a spoonful of white porridge, and Mu Mu looked at the white mist curling up in a daze.

"Clear out the carved silk and makeup flowers in the treasury, reward two horses for Huanyi, two horses for Cihe Palace, and make a few new clothes for Ah Yu." Empress Fang leaned on the soft satin cushion, raised her eyes to look at Xingzhao with a dazed expression, and while putting down the booklet, she touched the little lady's forehead with the back of her hand: "Since He Sanniang left the palace, you have not looked very good, what's wrong?" ”

The little lady drooped, the white porridge did not move, and she put the spoon in the plate as it was, and put her hands on her lap in a proper manner.

Her mind was chaotic, not only sweating for Xingming, but also lamenting the impermanence of the world.

That day, Xingming didn't speak, so she had to be straightforward: "What should you do?" Pry off the wife room of Afan eldest brother? A dignified lady from a noble family goes to be small with others? You can't do either of these things, so why bother with that impossible person? Life always has to pass, and anyone can grit their teeth and get by. Let me ask you again, does Brother Ah Fan also rejoice in you? This should just be the wishful thinking of the third sister, right? Taking a step back, even Brother Afan is happy with the third sister, but he still has a wife and sons-in-law, the one who is hired is the wife, and the one who runs is the concubine. The second lady only has a daughter from the third sister. The rest of my life will depend on you to live slowly. Man lives a lifetime. Don't just live for yourself, think about your mother! If there is a slight exceedance between actions, it will be a catastrophe! One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, third sister, you should think twice! ”

As a younger sister, these words are too arrogant.

But she was really scared, and she was used to seeing the story of a woman's moth fighting a fire, but in the end she was burned to ashes by the flames. She was afraid that Xingming's inappropriate intentions would ruin her life.

Her mother had a soft personality, so she slowly coaxed her, and finally lost her.

Now that I think about it, I really regret not being able to do it in the first place.

Xingzhao still remembers Xingming's look at that time, the little lady was sad and sad, but she was not confused, and after a long time, she pursed her lips and shook her head.

"I never thought about doing anything. I can't choose who I can't choose, but I can choose whether to be obsessed or not. ”

The short sentence made Xingzhao speechless, and he was stunned and almost burst into tears.

Xingming just wanted to tell others about his youthful feelings. She couldn't say it to the second lady, and she couldn't say it to the maids. She held back for so long, just to tell her what she said.

After that, this matter is settled.

After that, Huanyi came, and the first snow of the year fell to the ground without hurrying.

Empress Fang leaned out half of her body with a smile, pulled the little lady's hand, and said to Jiang Mingying with a smile: "I've heard of the bitter summer, but I haven't heard of the bitter winter, what's wrong?" If you really feel uncomfortable, you are not allowed to go to Yuhua Lane to blow the wind in a few days! ”

"Auntie!" Xingzhao was anxious when he heard this, and finally came back to his senses, "You are not allowed to go back on your word!" I promised my uncle! ”

Fang Qi's wife Xing sent a letter, saying that she was rushing into Beijing before the New Year, and she couldn't call Yuhua Lane to have no hostess for the New Year.

Xingzhao also read the letter, and the Xing clan acted and spoke very sharply, and his aunt, who had not seen much in his previous life, seemed to stand up between the lines.

Empress Fang was also willing to let the Xing clan come to Beijing earlier, and greeted Xingzhao with a smile: "Don't go back on your word!" The whispered words between the little ladies, she didn't want to dig into the roots, so she simply changed her head: "When the New Year is over, Najib will make up her mind, and first spread the rumor that the two families of King He are going to get married, I am afraid that Mrs. He will make a hindrance from it, and I will also let Mrs. He pay attention to it. ”

Empress Fang's concerns were reasonable, and Xing Zhao also felt that it would be better to let Xing Ming be quiet.

Is it enough to spend two years forgetting one person and getting ready to accept another?

Xingzhao's eyes rolled, and he took the initiative to lead the conversation to the previous dynasty: "The war in the northwest is settled, General Qin Boling will always take his troops back to Guizhou, right?" Liang Pinggong is dead, his uncle is directly subordinate to the central government, and a position of governor of the northwest is vacated. My aunt took my cousin into Beijing and hung the northwest there."

The meaning of Xingzhao, Queen Fang knew one thing and knew two.

"The northwest is the Fang family's lair, who doesn't have iron teeth and copper teeth and still wants to take a bite, it's purely looking for death." Queen Fang doesn't believe in Buddhism, she doesn't have so much kindness, what is in her hands is hers, only if she doesn't want it, she will allow others to touch it, "I was afraid that Gu Shilling would take advantage of the chaos to entrench in the northwest, who would have thought that the Empress Dowager Gu had an illness, and she was born very coincidentally, and she didn't think so much about touching the emperor, she only cared about promoting his official son to compensate, and a decree called Gu Shilling back, and at the same time, it was also a complete end to the idea and possibility of the Gu family fighting for the northwest."

Xingzhao was eager to take a pen and paper to write down Empress Fang's words.

Now she does

Empress Fang looked at Xingzhao who walked with a hanging wrist pen with a smile, patted the little lady's head with a smile, and continued: "The Fang family captured him alive and made outstanding military achievements, the emperor is suspicious, it is also a good idea for your uncle to avoid in Dingjing for a few years and then plan to return to the northwest. Just insert a few into it, and if you want to swallow the northwest in the past few years, I looked at the people in the court in general, and no one has such a good appetite."

Xingzhao likes to listen to Queen Fang's analysis of the temple at a glance.

It's like an eagle that has been confined in a cage all year round, and it occasionally has time to fly in the air, shaking off its wings and looking uncharacteristically energetic.

Xingzhao held a pen in his hand, looked up at Queen Fang and smiled, Queen Fang sheltered her, she also wanted to make Queen Fang happy.

The aunt and nephew were talking around the warm earth dragon in the inner compartment, and it didn't take long for them to hear that there were palace people outside. "He concubine came to say hello to the queen!"

Who is Hefei?

Xingzhao went through it one by one in his heart. That's when I reacted. After the Gu family girl who was on the side of the Gu family said that she had been sick for several decades, she finally came to ask Queen Fang for peace.

Empress Fang's face sank, and let Xingzhao just sit quietly, "The niece of this palace is going to avoid a concubine?" There is no such reason in the palace. ”

Xingzhao smiled and said yes.

A little Gu family let the people in the palace praise each other in less than two months, but the other little Gu family was silent for so long, when the Empress Dowager Gu rose, her mother's family was weak, but now it is different. The Gu family has become the climate, and the emperor cares about the friendship of the mother's family, even if the Gu family can't be on the table anymore, he wants them to show it in front of people.

Empress Dowager Gu likes to make transactions, but Xingzhao thinks this transaction is very cost-effective.

Half of her body was paralyzed on the bed, but she sent the two Gu family daughters to the palace, Empress Dowager Gu must have felt that there was no loss in her heart, right?

To say that there is no schadenfreude is certainly impossible. Some time ago, she went to Cihe Palace with Empress Fang to serve the sick, but the Gu family didn't let them in, so Empress Fang sat in the outer compartment for a long time. After all, she can't resist her.

In the gloom and fog, I saw that the Empress Dowager Gu, who was arrogant in the past, had become the current wrinkled face. The old woman, who was half smiling and half twitching, was still taken aback even though Xingzhao was prepared.

"The concubine greets the queen"

With a soft and soft voice, he pulled Xingzhao back in a slippery manner.

Looking at the front of the four-corner window lattice, under the faint light, there was a beautiful woman wearing an autumn apricot-colored right gown, wearing a silver gray skirt, and her head was slightly drooping, and Xingzhao just saw Xiao Gu's side face and slender willow waist.

I sighed in my heart, what a beautiful appearance!

There is never a shortage of beauties in the palace, Queen Fang's calm atmosphere, Concubine Shu's silence and softness, Concubine Hui's bright and high-profile, and Wang Concubine's delicate and clear spirit, Xingzhao boasts that he has read all the sails, but this Xiao Gu can definitely rank one or two. The facial features are exquisite, the small face with a big palm, the eyes that want to talk about it, and the timid look of the water spirit are terrifying.

Gu Qingchen is the daughter of the Gu family after her career, and raising her will be regulated by the upbringing of the daughter of the upper class, but this Gu family is a side branch of the Gu family, and she grew up in a poor family, so she was naturally raised according to the folk etiquette.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he does not have Gu Qingchen's softness and grace, but he has increased sharply in a charming manner, and it is because of the charming attitude of the Empress Dowager Gu when she was young that she stood out and was sent to the palace.

"Excuse yourself from courtesy." Queen Fang's words were concise and to the point, and she asked Jasper to sit down again with tea.

He Concubine paused, glanced at Xingzhao who was sitting at the bottom of the head, paused again, and finally twisted his skirt and half sat on the edge of the stool.

Xingzhao held a teacup in one hand and paused with his concubine twice, did he want to give him time to salute her?

The concubine position is not low, the princess has survived for decades, and gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, who is not also a concubine, in all fairness, Xingzhao, this Wenyang county lord should get up and salute her first.

Phew, she doesn't.

Queen Fang wanted to give the concubine a horse, she took the lead in saluting and dismantling the stage, now is not the time to talk about the number of etiquette, let her go to greet another master who serves in Israel, she is panicked in her heart. Forbearance is wanted, but she just feels uncomfortable, if she wants to forbear and then slap the enemy, the pleasure at that time is not enough to worry about.

"He's better with his concubine's body?"

Empress Fang's eyes flashed from Xingzhao's body, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, "Counting it, this is the first time I have seen a concubine in this palace, I don't look very similar to the Empress Dowager Gu, and if you look closely, she doesn't look very similar to the lady of the Gu family." ”

"The concubine is afraid." And the concubine will lower his head, "The concubine came to Beijing from Yongzhou, coinciding with the autumn and winter solstice, lingering on the sick bed for three months, and even the palace gate did not come out, until these days are better, then dare to come to Fengyi Hall to greet the queen." ”

The warm tea slid through his throat, and Xingzhao's hand that put the teacup paused, and looked at Xiao Gu with a different look.

has a good appearance, and his scheming is not weak.

Jiang Cai's words were clearly expressing his sincerity to Queen Tongfang - he had been sick for a few months, and he didn't even go to Cihe Palace, and he didn't see his cousin and aunt, and he came to say goodbye as soon as he was well. (To be continued......)
