Concubine Yuan could feel that the emperor's mood was not very good.

Although she has not been in the palace for more than a year, she and the emperor are very familiar with each other, for this middle-aged man who is twice her age, Yuan Concubine is respectful and loving in her heart, every time before he comes, she is a little panicked, but this panic in the emperor's smiling gaze, always melts as fast as spring ice. Before she saw the emperor, she had a lot of imagination about the emperor - but she couldn't put it into practice, after all, before she was elected, the biggest contact was only the state official, and the emperor ruled the whole world...... What such a person would look like, she really couldn't think of.

However, after seeing the emperor for the first time, she knew how much she was caring. Concubine Yuan can feel that the emperor is a very kind character, he always has a smile in his eyebrows, although between gestures, the omnipresent majesty can always make her feel the world of difference between the identities of the two, but no matter how insignificant she is, the emperor always treats her so well and so carefully...... On their first night, he treated her better than she could have imagined. Sometimes, between the sheets, he would put down the emperor's figure and do some ...... Do something very humiliating.

She looked forward to seeing the emperor, looking forward to getting along with him, whether it was talking, playing chess, or even doing nothing, just looking at the emperor silently, she also felt happy in her heart. ――Of course, it would be great if the emperor could give birth to a prince. After all, in the final analysis, she was selected into the palace for the sake of that.

But today, for the first time, she complained about her favor: it would be good if the emperor summoned the sisters today, or if it was...... The sisters were born beautifully, and although the emperor summoned him less, he definitely liked it when he saw it, and maybe he forgot to be angry.

As for, in Concubine Yuan's heart, she only needs one look, and she is afraid that she can calm down the emperor. She absentmindedly pondered: When she saw next time, whether she should ask her for advice, how to appease the emperor's temper, I just hope that the concubine Niangniang will not think that she intends to steal the teacher.

Although she is worried, Concubine Yuan is very sure that will not be angry. Since entering the palace this year, she naturally respects the queen the most, but if you want to say close, although have little contact with her, but in her heart, after all, she is even closer to the concubine...... Not to mention the conversation that came to her ears during the draft, she always suspected that the tone of voice that spoke for her came from, only that it was the last time when the second son of the emperor was born, and she inadvertently made a gaffe that touched a bad thing in the past of, and didn't take it to heart at all, and treated her so kindly......

It's no wonder that the eunuchs and all the people in the palace only have good words when they mention in private - she is the only one who deserves these good words.

Thinking of the graceful and luxurious demeanor of the, the delicate and beautiful face, the kind and kind smile, and the favor from all directions, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen ...... It's just that the three words of can make Yuan Concubine leisurely, if it is usual, she can have a sweet dream for half a day with these three words, but at this time, she does not have this leisure, this idea is over in a flash, only brings a vague relief, gives her a little courage, and opens up to the emperor.

"Bixia, it's getting late, so you should have dinner early." She said softly, "If you're not hungry yet, can your daughter sing you a song?" ”

The emperor was slightly shocked, and 'woke up' from his own thoughts, and his lips, which covered his thin beard, rose slightly, revealing a very typical smile. Concubine Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: although from the moment she entered the door, the emperor was in a trance, and he didn't even say a word. But the kind of coercion that emanates from his body ...... She didn't know how to describe it, and she felt so scared that she couldn't even speak. Now, with a smile on his face, she felt like she could breathe again.

"Wow," the emperor seemed to be in a very good mood, and he looked at her with the kind of eyes that would make Concubine Yuan's face blush and heartbeat, and this look was full of appreciation, and maybe a little bit of color. desire, but that's exactly what she welcomes. "I was just thinking about things just now, but I forgot about our little green."

She pursed her lips, fiddled with the tassels on the side of her clothes a little shyly, lowered her head and asked softly, "Then what does Daddy want to hear?" "Four Seasons Girlfriends", or "Four Dreams and Eight Emptiness"? ”

"I'm tired of listening to these songs." The emperor has always been very tasteful and aesthetic in literature and art, liking the past and hating the present, and always feels that today's loose songs are too kitsch. He paused and said, "You sang very well on the day of the draft, so let's sing it again." ”

In the past, when the emperor went to Concubine Yuan, her maids could play drums, but now she is here, and she has to learn the same as on the day of the draft, beating the beat with her hands, and singing softly, "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is old and ......" - the emperor listened while slowly eating warm wine.

After singing a song, the emperor smiled and said yes, then took a piece of gold from the box at random, handed it to Yuan Concubine and said, "You can't sing without color, take it." ”

I didn't learn this for the sake of singing...... Concubine Yuan couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, but naturally she didn't dare to show it. She took the playpiece and cherished it into her arms, and said with a smile, "It can be seen that only if you sing well today will you be rewarded-there is nothing in the past." ”

The emperor snorted slightly, beckoned her to sit beside him, "I appreciate you because I love you, but don't think about it, my little face is pulled, and my smile is not sincere-come, laugh again?" ”

The little grievance just now disappeared immediately, and Concubine Yuan smiled, "My daughter didn't want to be crooked, she didn't say a word, you can see it?" ”

"You little girls, what can you hide from me?" The emperor smiled, and his tone was the same as before, so that Concubine Yuan couldn't tell the truth from the false-is it true, the emperor is really so godly? But if it's false, every time the emperor looks at her, she feels that the emperor can see her heart at a glance, think about it carefully, like the emperor, he is not an ordinary person at all, what can't he do? Maybe I could really see what she was thinking at a glance. "You just came in and saw me, were you scared?"

Concubine Yuan could only nod obediently, what else could she say? They saw her through at a glance.

"There's nothing to be afraid of." The emperor patted her shoulder soothingly--only unlike before, this hand hadn't slipped a little more a**, "I won't eat people...... It's not that I'm angry with you, what are you afraid of? ”

"Daughter can't tell......" Concubine Yuan snuggled in the arms of the emperor, she felt that she was about to get drunk, she whispered, "I think you are too afraid of people when you have a straight face, and you are trembling with fear when you look at it more." Fortunately, your smile is just as heartwarming......"

The emperor couldn't help but smile slightly, his thumb rubbed Yuan Concubine's earlobe affectionately, rubbing her so much that she was almost melting, and she could only bite her lip hard to hold back the sound of the deep throat, she could hardly hear the emperor's question, and after a blur for a while, she realized that the emperor was asking her.

"Lu'er, how did I treat you?"

"Good...... Good. She reluctantly said, her eyes had become a pool of spring water, "You treat your daughter too well......

This is true, she never thought that she could get such a ...... in the emperor's body This kind of care, sometimes she doubts that she has cultivated some great blessings in her previous life, in order to serve the emperor, to serve such a reasonable and honest queen, to meet such a kind and kind concubine, those in the teahouse, the story of 'the civet cat for the prince', 'Lu Hou cutting people', has brought her a deep fear, Yuan Concubine did not expect that she entered such a heavenly place, and what is even more blessed is that among the sisters, she is the most favored by the emperor......

She didn't know how to describe the happiness and joy in her heart, she only hoped that her words and expressions could convey this gratitude, she believed that the emperor could see it, after all, the emperor was so clear-sighted, what else could he not understand?

"Do you want to serve me for the rest of your life?" The emperor asked in her ear.

Concubine Yuan suddenly felt a strong joy in her heart - the emperor wanted her to serve by her side for the rest of her life!

She blushed, tried to raise her eyes, used all her courage, tried not to dodge those deep eyes, and told her feelings intermittently, "Only, as long as you don't dislike slaves, slaves naturally want to be by your side for the rest of their lives." ”

"And what about after you die? Will you serve me after you die? The emperor also seemed to be moved, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "In heaven, I wish to be a winged bird, and in the earth, I wish to be a Lian Li branch, I can't be born in the same year and month, but I hope to die in the same year and month...... Will you live and die with me, Lu'er? ”

Leaning on the solid arms of the emperor, smelling his masculine breath, and feeling his calm and majestic demeanor, Concubine Yuan felt from the bottom of her heart, I only hope that this moment can last forever, if this god-like emperor goes, what will be the meaning of living? She nodded without reluctance, "The slave is willing, the slave wants to follow you to the ends of the earth, heaven and earth, ......"

Saying that, she couldn't help but be shy, and buried her face in the middle of the emperor's neck, she was a little anxious: Why didn't the emperor ......

The emperor also pressed her shoulder with affection, he turned his head sideways, and asked softly in her ear, "Lu'er, have you ever heard of a funeral?" ”

Martyrdom?

These two words, like a sharp sword, cut through all the fog of love and desire, like a cup of cold water poured down, although she woke up, but she has not come back to her senses.

"Huh?" Instinctively, she bewildered a questioning syllable.

"If you don't tell you about the fierce etiquette, the grandmothers may not have taught you...... There is a system in the country, the husband dies, and the concubine dies. The emperor's voice was still so calm and steady, he said softly, "Although I haven't seen it, but according to the people who have done it, after I die, it will be three or five days soon, and more than ten days at the slowest. Life and death go hand in hand, and after I am gone, you will also follow you underground. - However, rest assured, after the burial, your family and the dynasty will take care of it, and as a rule, they will seal the hereditary brocade clothes and guard hundreds of households, and they will not let their families be displaced without results. ”

Concubine Yuan blinked, she still couldn't react, or rather, she, she didn't want to-

This-she-how-this-

"Will you die in that day and follow me to the earth?" The emperor asked her, his expression was so unpredictable that she couldn't spy on his mood at all, she only knew that he was asking, "Would you like to?" ”

This......

Concubine Yuan's stiff mind slowly turned, she felt like a drowning fish, just now she was like a fish in water, but somehow, suddenly, she couldn't breathe, she felt that she was about to be choked to death, and the huge fear was like a tide, which had completely submerged her.

She didn't know how long she had been 'dizzy', if it weren't for a eunuch in the corner who accidentally flicked her sleeves, this state of Mu Ran might have continued, but now, Concubine Yuan suddenly returned to reality, she grabbed Zuihou a little reason, like grasping a straw.

- There can't be a second answer to this question!

"I ......" she made a mistake for a while, and used a self-title that shouldn't have been, and only then did she know that she was out of shape, and hurriedly changed it, "Slave...... Slave willing! ”

She held her breath, made the most sincere appearance, and looked up at the emperor......

However, what he saw was only a clear sneer, the emperor's demeanor was as still as water, his eyes were like a mirror, Yuan Concubine could even see herself from the pupils, and saw that she was flustered and insincere......

She wanted to distinguish for herself, but her brain didn't listen to the call, and she was speechless when she opened her mouth, and she couldn't even bow her head, she just stared directly at the emperor like this.

The two of them were speechless, and the room was as quiet as the thickest night, without even a star.

"Let's sing another tune." The emperor slowly let go of her, she wanted to hold on, she wanted to grasp, but she couldn't move even a finger. "Just sing...... Zhang Yanghao's "Beibi Mountain Nostalgia" is good. ”

Although Concubine Yuan is coarse in writing and ink, after all, her literacy time is still short and she has not read much. She only vaguely remembered "Tong Caring for the Ancients", what was this "Beibi Mountain Nostalgia", but she was completely at a loss.

The emperor also seemed to see through her expression, and he smiled, "Wang Zhen, you can talk to her." ”

The middle-aged eunuch who had just flicked his sleeves in the corner stepped forward and bowed deeply to Concubine Yuan, he coughed lightly, and explained to Concubine Yuan, "Nobleman, this is the tone of "Mountain Sheep" written by Yuan Zhang Yanghao. The slave will read it to you, and you will remember—"

"The sad wind is in a formation, the smoke is buried in hatred, and the inscription is incomplete." His shrill male duck voice said, "Do you know that he is the king of the Han Dynasty and a courtier of the Jin Dynasty?" ”

This cold and sad tone, even if it was pronounced by a eunuch, pierced people who couldn't sit still at all - at least, Concubine Yuan couldn't sit still, she resisted the urge to cry, and slowly knelt down, trying to distinguish something, but there was nothing to distinguish, Fang Cai's tenderness and sweetness all turned into a chest infarction and grievance, so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, but the chaotic thoughts, but she didn't know why she was uncomfortable, and for a while, her chest was tight and short of breath, and she couldn't help but sobbed gently.

The emperor didn't speak, and when Wang Zhen finished reading, he smiled and said, "Sing, why don't you sing?" I remember that you have a good memory, and you have also sung a few songs of "Hillside Goat". ”

The tune of the hillside sheep is the same in ancient and modern times, as long as you know the words, there is no reason not to sing, Yuan Concubine sobbed a few times, swallowed the block between her throats, used all her strength, condensed a thin voice, she knelt on the ground, and sang absurdly.

"Exhaust the Fengyun Festival, and do it all as the dust of the North Mountain. Even if you are a king, you should not call it, and if you are a minister, you should not call ......"

The emperor was on the throne, looking at her coldly, his eyes were faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

#

In the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Yuan was miserable, but in the Kunning Palace, Queen Sun could be said to be proud of the spring breeze - she hadn't been in such a good mood for a long time, and even the prince had benefits. The child was so happy that he threw himself into the queen's arms, and the sound of the mother was endless.

"What does the emperor mean by asking this?" But Mama Zhou was a little worried, "Niangniang, you don't think about it first, just open your mouth, what if, what if the emperor is serious......"

"I'm afraid he's not serious!" The queen wiped her hands and waved her hand at the maid, "Okay, I can't give it anymore, let's take him down and play for a while, otherwise, it won't be good if there is food for dinner in a while." ”

After everyone retreated, she analyzed it to Mama Zhou with a smile, "It is said that it is going to be buried, and it is difficult to say who will survive it, it is really at that time...... You're stupid, he doesn't know anything when he closes his eyes......"

She didn't say any more, but said again with a high spirit, "Besides, he just asked, why should he talk about the funeral now, because he thinks that he has not lived long enough, and he wants to work harder?" This is what Baizui said, and after a few decades, it is not certain what will happen! ”

Mama Zhou was a little relieved, but she was still a little puzzled by the queen's reaction, "Then you don't ...... you need to be so happy, right?"

"Is there any news from Yong'an Palace?" The queen didn't pay attention to Mama Zhou's words, but asked, "This morning, did the people in the palace go to say goodbye?" ”

"No, it's just that the mother is not very comfortable, so let me bow to the throne and come back." Mama Zhou said, "I inquired about what happened, and I don't know." I knew that the emperor didn't have dinner last night, and he went back to the Qianqing Palace after sitting for a while, and he didn't let anyone sleep that night. You also know that the news of the main hall of Yong'an Palace has always been very tightly controlled and difficult to leak. ”

"You asked about the funeral, and now you come to see me...... Have you been so frequent before? After talking for a long time, Zuihou asked about the funeral, "Empress Sun couldn't help but smile," Do you still need to think about it? It must have been her distinguishing for Han Zhaorong and making the emperor unhappy. That's when he came to ask me...... Do I still say that I don't want to die? ”

Not only can she not answer her unwillingness, but she must also mobilize all the emotions in her heart, express her 'wish' convincingly from the bottom of her heart and with tears in her eyes, and let the emperor know that she really can't live without him, and without him, there is no fun in living in this world...... The key to this point is that there are nine points of truth and one point of falsehood. The Empress never felt that her feelings for the Emperor had been faked, but whether she was willing to be buried or not—why should she tell the truth? Instead of making everyone unhappy, it is better to follow his hair, isn't this just bringing back the emperor's heart?

It may not be possible to say that she will come back, but at least she said that she is willing, judging from the emperor's expression, maybe Xu Xun did not answer correctly on this question, and he actually told the truth on impulse......

She couldn't help but smile playfully, "She also has the guts, and now, I really like her." ”

Mama Zhou was not so confident in the performance of the emperor, and she was eating Ai Ai on the side, but in the end she still said, "But the slave maid looked at the emperor's appearance, as if she was ...... I don't believe what my mother said......"

Indeed, the emperor's expression did not show any traces of emotion, and even a little bit of a cold looker, which made her quite scruple - but these were only trivial matters after all, and the queen said impatiently, "Even if we don't benefit, Yong'an Palace will be difficult to get out of this time." It doesn't matter what the eldest brother thinks, as long as he is no longer close to Yong'an Palace, it will be fine, didn't he call Concubine Yuan over again today? I think Concubine Yuan is good, beautiful and well-behaved, and her voice is good, so it doesn't hurt to pet more. ”

She crossed her arms and muttered for a while, and then asked Mama Zhou. "Wu Yu'er, when was the last time you went back?"

"It was a few days ago." Mama Zhou said, "The people of Yong'an Palace just go over to check from time to time, and there is nothing special. ”

"Didn't say anything?" The queen raised an eyebrow.

Mama Zhou understood the queen's intentions, and she replied affirmatively, "There are really no flaws worth using." ”

"That's it." The queen sighed, supported herself with one hand, thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, what do you say about Zhao Zhaorong?" ”

Mama Zhou wanted to speak and stopped, but still said, "Back to Niangniang's words, this woman is light and snobbish, if it is a while, it is good to see that the concubine Niangniang has fallen out of favor." I'm afraid that if you let her come out now, she won't do it, and you have to beware of her biting you back. ”

The temperament of the grass on the wall is destined to be not pleasing enough, and the queen also recognized Mama Zhou's judgment, she thought about it, and overturned her thoughts, and thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, clapped her hands and smiled. "I think it's better to find Concubine He Hui directly, anyway, I originally wanted to give Zhuang'er to her to raise, so it's better to talk to me directly, and what twists and turns are too troublesome."

"Concubine Hui?" Mama Zhou was shocked, she instinctively objected, "Concubine Hui and the concubine have always been friendly, and it is rare to say that the concubine is not ......."

"We're talking about the second son." The queen glanced at Mama Zhou and said faintly, "Don't raise the concubine if she pretends to be high, that's her own stupidity." Concubine Hui is a person, and you have seen it in your eyes for many years. ”

She clasped her palms cleanly and smiled slightly, she was confident, "She may not look at anything else, but what I want to give her is a child...... You say, will she not be impressed? ”

Mama Zhou thought about Concubine Hui's temperament, and was speechless for a while, wanting to refute, but couldn't find words.

Yes, a boy's value in the court is no less than a gold mine, Xu Guifei is not impressed, that is because she is abnormal, Concubine Hui is a very normal person, and the friendship with the concubine is worth a few dollars in front of a genuine second son of the emperor?

Regardless of the success or failure of this matter, as long as Concubine Hui chooses, the three people of the Hidden Mansion who were originally faintly connected will completely fall apart at this point. Jingci Immortal Master is far away in Chang'an Palace, and Concubine Hui is separated from the concubine, whether it is successful or not, the position of the queen mother can sit more stable, and the benefits of this plan are far greater than the risks, which can be said to be calculated to the extreme.

"The mother is scheming, and the slave is ashamed." She praised from the bottom of her heart, "It's just that you are recovering from a minor illness, you should also relax more, don't overdo it, but get on the body......"

The queen coughed lightly a few times, and after coughing, all she could not hide was a smile.
