Looking at Yun Ran's stumbling away figure, Fu Yihang's eyes swept over the yin owl, and a shameful smile appeared on his lips: Although she was stupid, she had a good idea this time - how could she forget the second uncle Fu Yueheng? The second uncle's official is the squire of the military department, no matter how big the official position of Feng Yinxiao is, he is also a subordinate of the second uncle, why not ......

Yun Kexin was in the main hall of the West Garden, listening to the conversation between Zhou and Fu Lianyin while having refreshments.

"Third lady, has Tianyang gone back to the room to rest recently?" Zhou's roundabout inquiry.

"Yes, mother," Fu Lianyin sat on her side and smiled at Zhou, "It's all thanks to you mediating and speaking for the concubine, that the master changed his mind." ”

"What about concubines...... Zhou asked bluntly, "How did the third lady think about it?" When Fu Lianyin heard this, her smile didn't have time to retract, and she lingered uncomfortably on her face - she thought that the husband and wife relationship with Yun Tianyang had finally "seen the bright moon in Yunkai", so she thought that the matter of taking a concubine could be delayed, until Yun Tianyang completely changed his mind and did not mention the matter of taking a concubine. Unexpectedly, there are not only three old men who are worried about this, but also old ladies, which is not easy to prevaricate.

"Mother, this matter hangs in the daughter-in-law's heart," Fu Lianyin said with a smile, "The concubine waited for the master to speak, and then started to open up," Wei paused, and then the phoenix eyes narrowed and knocked on the side, "It's just that I still don't know which girl's girl, mother, can you sue me." ”

"This woman's name is Shui Lian, and her family lives west of the Qing River," Zhou said simply, "Her father Shui Chengran is Tianyang's old friend." ”

Fu Lianyin's phoenix eyes narrowed: Old friends? Presumably there are frequent contacts, so when did the old man and the water lotus meet each other? It wouldn't be the one who "took advantage of the void" when she had a gap with Yun Tianyang, right? Thinking of this, Fu Lianyin's face was gloomy. Shui Chengran has heard Yun Tianyang mention it, but his concubine has never seen it, so she doesn't know what the water lotus looks like, and what kind of Cheng dù she has fascinated Yun Tianyang?

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has written it down," Fu Lianyin suppressed the turbulent unhappiness in her heart, and said with a pleasant face, "I will send someone to the Shuifu on the next day, and I will definitely handle this matter properly and satisfy the master." ”

"Well, the third lady has the best idea in her heart," Zhou nodded with satisfaction and said with a light smile, "However, don't delay it too long, so as not to make Tianyang unhappy." ”

Fu Lianyin's heart was furious: Is there such a can't wait?! I'm not old yet!

"Yes, mother, it's all for the Yun family's three heirs, and the daughter-in-law naturally has to pay more attention," she reluctantly agreed, and then thought about it, and said, "But according to the master, Concubine Xiang's birthday is coming, do you think it's better to wait until the birthday banquet is over before taking a concubine." ”

After that, Fu Lianyin frowned and squeezed her eyes at Yun Kexin, signaling that Yun Kexin could say a few words to help, but Yun Kexin's eyes kept staring at the door, and she didn't react at all: she did it on purpose, so she didn't want to become Fu Lianyin's gunman, and she expected that the last time she "said" Yun Tianyang back to Fu Lianyin's bed, Fu Lianyin thought that she was "her own person", and she would be involved in everything in the future, thinking about it beautifully!

Zhou's face sank like water, as if he was suddenly out of his body for a long time before he reacted: "It's okay, let's talk about it after Concubine Xiang's birthday." ”

When Zhou left, Yun Kexin seemed to have just reacted, and said in a daze: "Grandmother and mother have finished talking?" I sent my grandmother ......"

Fu Lianyin didn't even have a chance to fall, and she was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched.

A few days later, Concubine Xiang's birthday was held in the Yangxin Palace, worthy of being the emperor's favorite concubine, just to prepare for this banquet, the Ministry of Rites spent nearly three months, to a few days, the legs are about to break, the dinner is extremely luxurious, to the Pomeranian smiled.

At the beginning of the dinner, Yun Kexin had no intention of watching the singing and dancing in the main hall, and she stood beside Yun Tiancheng, looking intently at the concubine who was on the left side of the emperor.

Dressed in embroidered madder red purple magnolia gauze satin palace dress, don't have an agate inlaid gold brooch, comb a fragrant bun near Chaoyun, the bun is inlaid with a little cuixiang cloud inlaid with gold beaded phoenix tail hairpin, and then wear a coral turquoise beeswax bead flower, a white and delicate goose egg face, Dai eyebrows into the sideburns, long black curled eyelashes circle a pair of longing eyes,

The waist is like a stream, the bright moon bell in the ears, and the clear eyes are looking forward to it, which has fascinated the emperor, and the queen on the side, although she is dressed beautifully and noblely, the light is far covered by the concubine, but she still maintains the majesty of the mother's world.

This concubine really lives up to her reputation! Yun Kexin coped with the scene while paying attention to it, and in the end, she found that Concubine Xiang would also look at her from time to time - a look that was close to surprise and anger, as if she had robbed Concubine Xiang of something. Suddenly, Yun Kexin noticed the crux of the problem: the fourth uncle had been holding her hand, and she never let go of it from entering the hall to "returning to her position". And the fourth uncle seemed to be deliberately avoiding Concubine Xiang's questioning gaze, except for the first toast, the rest of the time, she was basically chatting and talking with Yun Kexin, but she could feel that the fourth uncle's palms were trembling.

Does Concubine Xiang care about the fourth uncle's move? What is the troublesome past between the two of them?

After the dinner, the emperor drank too much, and went back to the palace under the service of some fathers-in-law, accompanied by the queen.

Yun Tiancheng didn't wait to walk with the eldest brother and the third brother, only nodded to them, made a look, and took Yun Kexin towards the outside of the hall, but before he reached the palace gate, he called a palace maid and said:

"Fourth master, Concubine Xiang is invited."

Yun Tiancheng's thin body trembled slightly, as if he had a premonition of something, and said resignedly:

"Where is Niangniang at the moment?"

"Imperial Garden," the palace maid folded her hands at her side, her chin lowered her eyes, and she looked very respectful of Yuntian City, "Fourth Master, please come with me." ”

"Please let me tell my mother, Amagi will come to see you the next day, and now I have to send my little niece back-"

"No, the mother specially instructed the slave maid to take this little girl with you."

Yun Tiancheng and Yun Kexin were both startled, and looked at each other for a moment, his eyes seemed to ask: Are you afraid?

Yun Kexin understood the meaning in the fourth uncle's eyes and shook her head slightly.

So, the two went to the imperial garden under the leadership of the palace maid, and saw the brightly lit pavilion from a distance. Waiting for the pavilion, Concubine Xiang said to the surrounding guards and palace maids: "You retreat first and wait outside the pavilion." ”

Several guards and palace maids left in response, all standing in the four directions of the pavilion.

"Meet Concubine Xiang's mother...... Yun Tiancheng bowed and bowed slightly.

"Knock on the mother." Yun Kexin whispered.

Concubine Xiang stared at the quiet imperial garden at night, speechless for a long time, making the two people standing at the water table a little cramped, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"Is he dead?" Suddenly, Concubine Xiang asked softly abruptly.

Yun Tiancheng was stunned, and immediately reacted, as if he had a tacit answer: "No." ”

Yun Kexin pondered: He? Could it be the third uncle?

"It should have been dead a long time ago," Concubine Xiang said indifferently, she turned her head slowly, her charming face was shrouded in a haze, and then the conversation changed, "Fourth master, your current shelf is getting bigger and bigger, I ask you to have 'three shen and five orders'." ”

Yun Tiancheng said unhurriedly: "Niangniang, the palace is an important place for the royal family, how can I be allowed to come and go at will, and Niangniang is the favorite concubine of the saint, don't invite gossip——"

Concubine Xiang's cold and intermittent chuckle sounded in the pavilion, which was particularly piercing and shocking in this silent imperial garden: "Yuntian City, there are countless reasons for you to hide, this one is the stupidest and most fake, you should know that this palace has never regarded this place as a palace." ”

Cloud Sky City was silent: he remembered that she had said that this was a birdcage or a prison cell to her.

When he looked up, he was shocked to find that Concubine Xiang was standing in front of him. It's just that this time her gaze stayed on Yun Kexin beside her.

"Who is she?" Concubine Xiang looked at Yun Kexin and asked Yun Tianyang, her eyes were as sharp as a hidden blade.

"My niece."

"Niece?" Concubine Xiang pulled her lips and sneered, "Why do I look so similar to you?" It can't be that you secretly had sex with some woman, right? ”

"!" Yun Tiancheng's eyes froze, and he said, "She is my third brother's daughter, her name is Kexin." ”

"You let her say it herself......" Concubine Xiang interrupted lukewarmly.

"Concubine Xiang, the little woman Yun Kexin, who was ten years old at the time," Yun Kexin was not afraid, facing Concubine Xiang's aggressive gaze, and said unhurriedly, "It is the seventh lady of the Eguo Mansion, my father Yun Tianyang, and Yun Tiancheng is my fourth uncle." ”

An appreciative smile appeared on the corner of Concubine Xiang's mouth, but in an instant, she set her eyes on Yuntian City again:

"How can you be so good to your niece, like a baby in the palm of your hand," the tone was filled with jealousy and dissatisfaction, and suddenly glanced at Yun Kexin quickly, and said meaningfully, "You should be glad that you are only his niece......"

Concubine Xiang's words with a strong sense of vigilance in the second half of the sentence made Yun Kexin's heart sink: What is "fortunately just a niece"? Could it be that if the fourth uncle likes the woman, she will suffer? This is the reason why the fourth uncle did not dare to get married? Her mind flashed the secret guard who appeared in the Eguo Mansion on the third uncle's birthday, and in the next few years, as long as she went to the fourth uncle's shop, she could always feel the ubiquitous stalking and silent warning......

The fourth uncle has been living under the surveillance of the secret guards! And for the sake of the Yun family, in order to avoid innocent women being harmed, he has been silently enduring it for several years, living alone.

The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became dull and depressing, suspended in the deep blue night sky, as if it was about to explode, Concubine Xiang's eyes looking at Yun Tiancheng gradually blurred and ** unknown, Yun Tiancheng lowered his head-

"Xiangfei Niangniang......"

"You can't change your name to call me 'Xiang'er.'" Concubine Xiang asked sharply but eagerly.

"I promised you that I did it." Yun Tiancheng replied expressionlessly, "Hope-"

"Then it depends on how you behave?" Seeing that Yun Tiancheng was still unmoved, Concubine Xiang surged up with old resentment and new hatred, and said unrelentingly, "Don't let me see you holding any woman's hand again, not even niece!" ”

In the words of strength and resentment, the weakness that can't be concealed, Yun Kexin can hear it, in Concubine Xiang's heart, there must be a fourth uncle, but it is hidden deeply, what about the fourth uncle? R1152
