"Everything is up to the emperor's mother, and the sons have no opinions. As for Lanling's cousin, Erchen didn't have any dislike. Hongshi was disappointed and moved, he knew very well that Lanling was the niece of the emperor's mother, if he changed to another person, he was afraid that he would marry Lanling if he didn't want to think about it, but the emperor's mother never forced him to say a word from beginning to end, even the words of reprimand just now, he was also considered for him everywhere, for fear that his repeated requests would anger the emperor's grandmother. From a long time ago, he knew that he was not the biological son of Huang Eniang, but after Eniang was abolished in an accident, he taught Huang Eniang to raise, but for so many years, Huang Eniang has been treating himself as a parent, and has never been treated badly, even if he is strict from time to time, it is for his own good, and he hopes that he will not lose to a few younger brothers. On the contrary, he is mediocre in reading, and his riding and archery kung fu is only barely passing, which makes the emperor worry a lot.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll go back to my brother's house after dinner with the emperor's mother today." Nala looked at Hongshi and said, "When you move out of the palace after your wedding, it's not as easy as it is now to see you again." Alas, your sister has been married for many years, and there is only one of you by her side in this palace, and after you leave, this Kunning Palace will be much colder. ”

"No, it won't." Hongshi sat on the pedal and leaned on the chair of the Nala clan, and said with a little admiration: "Even if he is not in the palace, the ministers will enter the palace every day to greet the emperor's mother." There is only one queen mother. ”

"The emperor has only one son, you." Nala smiled and said, yes, she only has one son, Hiroshi, and if she wants to keep her honor today, she must firmly grasp Hiroshi and make him willingly follow the path he laid for him. Suo Yuluo Jiamo's family background is too ordinary among the princes and nobles, and such a woman cannot bring any help when Hongshi competes for the throne, so this woman must not become Hongshi's concubine. As for whether the Queen Mother will ultimately choose the woman of the Long family or Lanling, she has her own way. Just like she said to Yingge before, Hongshi's Fujin can only be Lanling.

The sky gradually darkens in the passage of time, every time, the palace gate will be closed, and once the palace gate falls, unless there is the emperor's holy decree, it is categorically not allowed to open again, if someone forcibly asks to open the palace door, that is, it is regarded as an accomplice to rebel, and it is not to be counted.

The Meridian Gate, also known as the Great Qing Gate, is the main gate of the Forbidden City because it is located on the north-south axis of the Forbidden City, is located as the meridian and faces the sun in the center.

The Qing Gate seems to have only three doors, but there is also a door on both sides for the palace people to enter and exit, as for the main gate, in addition to the emperor, only the queen's wedding and the champion and the first time are eligible to enter and exit once.

The eunuchs in charge of the Daqing Gate slowly closed the heavy palace gate when the time came, and when the palace gate was only one hand long and could be completely closed, a figure hurried towards the palace gate in the dark, shouting as he ran, "Slow down, don't close, don't close!" A slightly shrill voice had a bellows-like rapid gasp in the thick night.

The eunuch guarding the door ignored the shouts outside, and still closed the palace gate slowly, there are strict regulations on the closing and opening of the palace gate every day, and there can be no delay at all.

"Slow down!" Just when the palace gate was completely closed, the figure finally ran closer, leaned against the palace gate with one hand and scolded breathlessly: "You little rabbits, our family has already made you slow down, and it is closed so quickly, when our family is dead?!" ”

Before, it was too far away, and the eunuch guarding the door didn't hear the owner of this voice, but now that he is so close, he hears it really, as if it is the voice of his father-in-law? In such hesitation, he opened the palace door a little and poked his head out, and saw the appearance of the person who came clearly through the palace lamp in his hand, and it turned out to be really Sixi, and said in surprise: "Manager Xi, are you back?" ”

"Nonsense, if we don't come back, is it a ghost standing in front of you?" Sixi ran out of breath, and his words were naturally unceremonious, and then he remembered something, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Quick, open the palace door quickly!" ”

"This ......" several eunuchs guarding the gate looked at each other, and one of them said in embarrassment: "Xi Steward, you know the rules of the palace gate, once the time comes, it must be closed, please don't embarrass the little ones." ”

"Bastard!" Sixi scolded outside the palace gate, "Xiao Lizi, have you forgotten who our family is with?" If the emperor returns to the palace by mistake, you will not have enough heads! He called out the name of one of the eunuchs guarding the door.

The eunuch who was called by him as Xiao Lizi's body was shocked, and suddenly remembered that this Xi manager was going out with the emperor, and looking out of the palace from a distance, it was vaguely visible that there were indeed a few figures coming, but the palace door was really difficult to open. Xiao Lizi's eyes turned several times, and he came up with a plan, and pretended to be surprised: "Alas, why can't this palace door be closed all of a sudden?" ”

Sixi is a human spirit, how could he not hear that he did it on purpose, and after scolding with a smile, he pushed the heavy palace door open, and then bowed his head and knelt by the door. Seeing his appearance, Xiao Lizi and the others also quickly knelt down, nervously and carefully looking at the figures who were slowly approaching.

It's back, it's finally back!

Ling Ruo looked up at the palace gate, which was still solemn even in the dark, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he thought that he would never come back again in his life, but he didn't expect that after going around in a big circle, he finally returned to the starting point.

The harem is the most gorgeous and rich place, but also the most strict and ruthless cage, enjoying the fine clothes and food while paying the price, and this price is the loss of freedom and peace.

At this time, Ling Ruo suddenly felt that someone was holding his hand, and looked at it, only to see Yin Zhen looking at him, his eyes were extremely bright in the dark, like stars in the sky, "Don't you regret it when you get here?" But this time, I'm not going to let it go. ”

Ling Ruo looked at him and smiled lightly, didn't speak, just quietly shook Yinzhen's hand, since she had made up her mind, there was no reason to regret it, she would accompany Yinzhen to go down, and use everything she had in the rest of her life to practice this bet, no matter whether she won or lost, she would not regret it.

At this moment, without any words, they already understood each other's thoughts, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth rose, and he said with a rare ease: "Let's go, let's go home." ”

Family...... This word made a corner of Ling Ruo's heart extremely soft, this is not only Sen Leng's beautiful harem, but also her home, her home with Yinzhen and Hongli, even for these two people, she will try to survive step by step in this harem.

Everything outside the palace, for her, is always a passing cloud, only in the palace is real, no matter life or death, this is her final destination.
