Concubine Lian just sat down for a while, then got up and left, Zhang Dehai and Ranshuang also walked in from the outside, and Ranshuang opened her mouth first, "Master, Concubine Lian came to ask you what is going on?" ”

The corners of Qin Yuan's lips raised slightly, and there was a ripple, "The frost has indeed grown a lot over the years." Dyed Frost smiled slightly, "Every time Concubine Lian comes, she doesn't have something to ask for help from Niangniang, the slave and maid see that you are the noble person of Lotus Concubine, I really don't know how she would live if there is no Niangniang Lian Concubine." ”

Qin Yuan's lips slowly retracted, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she said with a little indifference, "You can't say that, everything in the world will not exist because of anyone, nor will it disappear because of anyone, whoever leaves will live, it's just a matter of whether it's good or not, her lotus concubine can have today, it is indeed inseparable from the support of this palace, but then again, as a humble body and a princess, life is indeed not good." ”

Zhang Dehai on the side echoed and nodded, "Because of this, the eighth princess is not loved by the emperor, although Concubine Lian is now a concubine, she is also looked down upon by many concubines, but Concubine Lian has always been low-key and rarely causes trouble, so she insists on it to this day." ”

Qin Yuan's beautiful eyes blinked lightly, with a hint of pity, "Actually, if you think about it, Concubine Lian is also a poor person, her child was only four years old and was allowed to be married, how can she not be bitter?" At the beginning, I took refuge in the palace with full hope, but I didn't expect the palace to fall, and now I can't find anything else to rely on, the palace has been confined in this Fengzhu Palace for all these years, and the lotus concubine is also loyal, how can the palace not help. ”

Qin Yuan's words, so that Zhang Dehai and the frost were deeply infected, the concubines who live in this red wall, pick out any one of them, there must be a bitter story, Zhang Dehai's lips opened slightly, "The slave has been in the palace for more than ten years, and has seen a lot of wind and dust, some people have two boats with one foot, left and right, some people don't ask right and wrong, and get out of the matter, but in the end, only those who have a firm position can live a little longer, presumably Concubine Lian has deeply understood this truth, Concubine Lian must have high hopes for the mother, and the long-term vision will always be beneficial to herself." ”

Qin Yuanfeng's eyes were slightly raised, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Zhang Dehai, this palace has always appreciated your deep understanding of righteousness, the two of you have followed this palace for five years but have no complaints, this palace is in mind, this palace is a person who loves and hates clearly, whoever is good to this palace, this palace will definitely be remembered, if anyone is not good to this palace, this palace will definitely double the dedication, Sister Yi is right, five years, it's time to rise up." ”

As soon as Qin Yuan's voice fell, Zhang Dehai and Dye Shuang's faces showed rippling smiles, and Dye Shuang said with a little excitement, "Master, the slave is waiting for this day." Qin Yuan's beautiful eyes lifted slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, like poppies blooming.

At this time, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and I saw Yuru walking in briskly, Qin Yuan couldn't help but be shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly asked, "Tomorrow is the seventh day of the first month, why did you come here today?" Dye Frost also said cautiously, "Yes, it would be bad if others saw it in broad daylight." ”

Yuru looked a little calmer, and saluted Qin Yuan, and then said in a firm tone, "Don't worry, the emperor is accompanying the four princes in the Yongning Palace right now, and he won't come out for a while. ”

In the five years that Qin Yuan was imprisoned, Mu Xuan has been served by Yuru, so that Qin Yuan can rest assured, on the seventh day of the first month of every month, Yuru will find an opportunity to sneak into Fengzhu Palace late at night to report on Mu Xuan's related matters.

Qin Yuan's face softened a little, bowed slightly, and asked eagerly, "How is Mu Xuan lately?" Yuru nodded firmly, "Niangniang can rest assured, everything is fine with the four princes, the emperor attaches great importance to them, and you will be able to enter the study on the fifth day of the next month, one year earlier than the prince." ”

Qin Yuan nodded reassuringly, "Mu Xuan entered the study, the palace has already heard what Concubine Yi said, dye the frost, go and get the package in the closet." Dye Shuang immediately responded, turned around and went to the cabinet closet, and after a while, he took out a cloth bag and handed it to Qin Yuan, who took it and said to Yuru, "This is the clothes that the palace made for Mu Xuan, you bring it to Mu Xuan." ”

Yuru took it with a slight bow, and said with a little sadness, "Niangniang, the fourth prince is calling to see you every day." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Yuan's face suddenly changed color, with a little distraction in his eyes, he bowed his head slightly, took away the sadness in his heart, and said clearly, "You tell Mu Xuan for this palace, this palace also misses him very much, and he will be able to see Eniang soon." As soon as these words came out, Yuru was slightly stunned, and said with a little excitement, "Niangniang, you finally think about it?" ”

Qin Yuan smiled and bowed slightly, "This palace also wants to see what Mu Xuan looks like when he grows up." Yuru couldn't hide her joy for a while, "Don't worry, don't worry, the slave will definitely convey the words to the four princes." ”

"Go back to the Yongning Palace, it's easy to be discovered in broad daylight."

Yuru nodded solemnly, turned around and walked to the door with the cloth bag, gently pushed the door open, looked around cautiously, jumped over, and disappeared on the roof.

Qin Yuan sighed distractedly at the moment, and the frost immediately understood, and opened her mouth to comfort, "Niangniang, the fourth prince is now five years old, Yuru is a mother every day, you speak in the ears of the four princes, and the four princes will not forget you, and when you reappear in the harem, it will be the day you and the four princes will be reunited." ”

Qin Yuan nodded a little excitedly, looked at the sky outside and said, "Aunt Lan will come in a while, and this palace will have a good discussion with you to find a suitable time." ”

As soon as Qin Yuan's voice fell, Zhang Dehai and Dye Shuang nodded with fighting spirit.

And at this time, in the Yongning Palace, the man's clear laughter and the child's immature joy were mixed together, and the eyes followed, only to see Qing Cang sitting in the cabinet of the Yongning Palace, full of spring/color smile reflected on the face, five years have passed, the cold and arrogant eyes still have not changed, the dark eyes are full of calm, black hair, scattered in the ears, the handsome appearance is still as obsessive as five years ago, there are two more mustaches on the hidden lips, the tiger is spiritual, and the hidden is more mature.

I saw a child standing under his knees, on his red face, a pair of big eyes with a smart and clever look, just like Qin Yuan, under the black hair, two curved eyebrows, handsome as a crescent moon, because it was the period of changing teeth, among the rows of snow-white teeth, there was a missing front tooth, and when he smiled, he became a toothless, very cute, he was the fourth prince - Qing Muxuan.

Qing Cang smiled at Mu Xuan at this time, took Mu Xuan into his arms, picked him up and put him on his lap, scratched the bridge of Mu Xuan's nose, and said softly, "You naughty bag, tell your father, where are the little front teeth?" Mu Xuan suddenly smiled brightly, "Yesterday I went out to fly a kite with the nurse and accidentally fell, father, will it not grow?" ”

Hearing this, Qingcang's face changed slightly, with a little distress, and said softly, "Xuan'er, don't worry, within a month, my father will guarantee that it will grow intact." Mu Xuan suddenly said in surprise, "Really? ”

"Father, what deceived you?"

Mu Xuan was so happy that he clapped his hands again and again, "Great, great, Sister Wanxi also said that Erchen is a toothless guy, hmph, Sister Wanxi is the worst!" Qing Canghe smiled slowly, "Xuan'er, tomorrow my father will choose two civil and military masters for you, and you will enter the study on the fifth day of the next month." ”

Mu Xuan was even more pleasantly surprised for a while, "Really? Is Erchen going to study and practice martial arts with all his eldest brothers? Qing Cang shook his head slightly as gentle as water, "You will be taught alone in the Yongning Palace." Mu Xuan pursed his lips for a while, "Erchen wants to be with the elder brothers." ”

"Xuan'er, my father is afraid that you will delay your studies if you are with the eldest brothers."

Mu Xuan then said immaturely, "Father, you promised Xuan'er, as long as the son-in-law remembers the three-character scripture, you will let the son-in-law see E-niang, and the son-in-law can now memorize the three-character scripture and the melon." ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Qing Cang's face dissipated, he looked directly at Mu Xuan's eyes, those eyes were exactly the same as Qin Yuan's life, every time he saw it, it would be reminiscent of Qin Yuan, five years, he had never been to see Qin Yuan, not once, not forgetting, but the scene of the moment when he couldn't meet himself, unable to face the rock-like heartache of the year, in fact, Qing Cang had been to Fengzhu Palace many times late at night, but every time he walked to the palace gate, he would stop, he still couldn't face the past of the year, and couldn't bear the pain of the year.

Qing Cang looked at Mu Xuan's immature and lovely face, and immediately smiled gently, "Okay, my father promised you, tomorrow after choosing the Taifu, my father will take you to see Eniang." Mu Xuan was very excited for a while, broke free from Qingcang's embrace and landed, happily ran outside the cabinet, and suddenly threw himself into Yuru's arms, "Yuru, the emperor promised Xuan'er that she could see Eniang, hahaha, great, great." Yuru also couldn't hide her joy for a while, and picked up Mu Xuan with a happy face and left slowly.

Qing Cang sat in place and lost his mind a little, and Zhou Ruiqing on the side opened his mouth at this time, "Your Majesty, the slave hasn't seen Yuru's figure for a while, tomorrow is the seventh day of the first month, did Yuru go there." ”

Qing Cang's face was a little gloomy, he already knew that Yuru would go to Fengzhu Palace late at night on the seventh day of the first month of the month, but he just opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and he was still a little unbearable, after all, Qin Yuan was also Mu Xuan's mother, Qing Cang's eyes raised slightly, and he said coldly, "Deal with the nurse who accompanied the fourth prince to fly a kite yesterday." Zhou Ruiqing responded immediately.

At this time, a small eunuch walked in from the outside and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Hunan concubine asks to see you." Qing Cang frowned a little irritably, and said slowly, "Zhou Ruiqing, go out and tell Xiang Guifei that I will go to see her at night, and Yongning Hall is not the place where she should come." ”

"Yes, the minion will go." , Zhou Ruiqing should get down, and then went out of the cabinet to the front of the palace, only to see a noblely dressed woman standing under the steps in front of the hall, seeing Zhou Ruiqing raise his head and smile, but at the moment of raising his head, the face was simply astonishing, half a plate and half draped flowing Shubun is inserted in the middle of the golden butterfly beaded eyebrow hairpin, a delicate and small silver phoenix on the left side of the cloud temples gathered, the phoenix mouth is holding two bead chains, the double beads on the ears of the bright moon bell emits a soft and gorgeous brilliance, a pair of eyes under the thin eyebrows are clear and longing, the eyebrows are dyed and curved, the red lips are slightly opened, and the teeth are like shells, The overall beautiful and dignified appearance is very similar to Qin Yuan, and it can't help but remind people that the two are sisters, there are such similar women in the world, no wonder Concubine Lian would say such remarks, the reason why Xiang Guifei is so favored //// is there a reason.

At this time, Zhou Ruiqing approached, and said with a smile on his face, "Xiang Guifei, it's really unfortunate, the emperor is having fun with the four princes, and the emperor said that he will go to see you in the evening." Xiang Guifei smiled slightly, "Okay, then the concubine will retire first." Zhou Ruiqing bowed his head politely, and immediately said, "Xiang noble concubine, this Yongning Hall is the residence of the four princes, and the four princes are introverted and can't see people. ”

Xiang Guifei's smile deepened, "I am tired of Gonggong Zhou to tell the emperor that this concubine will never step on the same step as Yongning Palace in the future." ”

"Yes, the slave will definitely tell the Holy One word for word."

Concubine Xiang turned around in an instant, smiled coldly, and the coldness dissipated in the corner of her eyes.
