In ancient times, there was no program at night, and everyone went to bed soon after eating dinner and washing, especially those who did hard work in vain, and went to rest early in the evening.

The two old waiters who slept next door tonight also went to sleep early in the morning, snoring like thunder as always, and the snoring made Liu Ai, who was in the next room, hear it very clearly. It was already hot and humid in the hot summer, and there was no cool breeze tonight, so it was even more sultry. The storm room was originally a place to dry things, located in the west, the white sun was fierce, and at night the ground was still hot, so that Liu Ying could not sleep, so he got up and wandered around.

The harem fell into a state of silence very early, and even with such a hot air, it was still quiet at night, with only the sound of cicadas and frogs. Liu Yi has followed the familiar path, wandering around the Yeting Garden, breathing in the fresh air here. Suddenly, there were two girls' voices by the pond, one of them said: "Ruyi, haven't you seen the emperor and Mrs. Zhou yet, I just heard that the maid who came back from the Jiaofang Palace is enjoying the cool with Mrs. Zhou in the Baihua Garden in front tonight, do you want to see it, if you want to see me, I will take you over to see." ”

Another woman said: "Of course I want to see it, I've been in the palace for half a year, I haven't seen what the emperor looks like, Sister Yumei, you lead the way." ”

Liu Yi was already at the age of being active and curious, and when he heard that these two women were going to see the emperor and Mrs. Zhou, he thought to himself that I had never seen the emperor and Mrs. Zhou, so it was better to quietly follow them and go to see what was going on.

So Liu Yi has crept behind these two women, in fact, these two women are the maidens of the Ting Band, the girl named Ruyi is estimated to be a newcomer, so she has never seen the emperor's true face, taking advantage of this opportunity tonight, I want to hide in the dark to see what is going on.

Liu Yi had followed the two of them through the courtyard and came to Baihuayuan. This Baihuayuan is located between the Jiaofang Palace and the Ye Ting, which belongs to the Jiao Fang Palace, but there is a back door leading to the Ye Ting, and those palace maids who live in the Ye Court and wait in the Jiao Fang Palace will go back to the Ye Court from this door when they have a rest. Baihuayuan is not strictly separated from the garden, only a rockery is separated in the middle, and there are some low trees to cover it, so the two palace maids can see Baihuayuan as long as they hide behind rockeries or trees.

Liu Yi had already seen the two palace maids lying behind the rockery, and he was also looking for a place to lie nearby, for fear of finding out to them, he was some distance away, but he still heard what they said. At this time, one of the palace maids said: "Ruyi, you see, the tall person sitting in the pavilion in front of him is the emperor, and the one sitting next to him who is wiping her tears is Mrs. Zhou." ”

Liu Yi also looked in the direction pointed by the female actor named Yumei, and saw a pavilion in front of him, and a tall young man was sitting in the middle of the pavilion, so he thought that this should be the emperor. And next to him was a beautiful woman, looking at the outfit, it should be their Mrs. Zhou. On the perimeter of the pavilion stood four attendants each carrying a lantern, and next to each attendant stood a maid.

That's right, in the pavilion are the current emperor Liu Fuling and his concubine Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou is Zhou Yang, the daughter of Zhou Shu'er, Ding Shaojun arranged for her to enter the palace as a concubine.

It is estimated that Zhou Yang's life is not good, he has been in the palace for more than a year, but he has not been pregnant, Liu Fuling loves her very much, and she is inseparable, but unfortunately she has been in trouble recently, this is not very sad tonight, she ran here to cry, Liu Fuling came to comfort her after she knew.

The night was very quiet, although they were talking in the pavilion, but Liu Yi, who was hiding behind the rockery, could still hear it clearly, and only heard Liu Fuling say: "Don't be sad, I am still good to you as always." ”

Zhou Yang wiped his tears and said softly: "It's all the concubines who are not good, and they can't continue the incense for Your Majesty until now." ”

"I don't blame you for this, take your time, there will be."

Liu Fuling hurriedly comforted, only to hear Zhou Yang lower his head and sigh: "It's all because the concubine was born poor, and she failed to enter the eyes of the eldest princess, so she couldn't get her liking." ”

At this time, Liu Fuling raised his head and scolded: "Shangguan An is really uneasy and kind, he actually showed your life experience, in fact, I don't care what your life experience is, I only know that since my mother died, you have treated me most sincerely." ”

"Your Majesty, don't you want to be like this, the eldest princess treats you very well, and General Sima is also good to you, and General Zuo is also obedient to you."

Zhou Yang actually understands the pain in Liu Fuling's heart, although he is the emperor, but because of his age, he has not been able to govern in person, and the affairs of the harem are all taken care of by his sister Princess Eyi, and he is just a puppet now.

"Hey, they are just good to me on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly restraining me, I want to make you the master of the harem, but the eldest princess disagrees, that Shangguan An also stabbed you in the back, out of your life experience, it's really infuriating, he has always been currying favor with the eldest princess, and he also wants his daughter to enter the palace as a queen."

Liu Fuling looked a little angry and a little helpless, and at this time it was Zhou Yang's turn to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, that Shangguan An is the son of General Anaizuo, the son-in-law of General Sima, and his daughter is the most suitable to be the master of the harem." ”

"You still defend them, do you know, Shangguan An's daughter is only six years old, how can she enter the palace at the age of six, and she still has to be the master of the harem, which is ridiculous."

Liu Fuling let out a loud sigh and looked up.

Now that the case has been solved, why is Mrs. Zhou Yang so sad tonight, I wish to come is Shangguan An in order to let his daughter enter the palace as a queen, so he revealed Zhou Yang's life experience in front of the eldest princess of Hubei Province, she is an illegitimate daughter, and Zhou Yang can't have children, she is not worthy of virtue, she can't be the master of the harem, and so on. Fortunately, with Liu Fuling's protection, otherwise Zhou Yang might have been sent to the court.

At this time, Liu Yi could no longer understand these things, and of course he didn't know that he couldn't figure out these harem battles, he was just driven by curiosity to see the honor of the current emperor.

After a while, Liu Fuling and Zhou Yang went back to the palace to rest, and the two female actors who were hiding behind the rockery and peeking also quietly slipped back to the court, of course, Liu Yi was also tiptoeing behind them.

"Sister Yumei, it turns out that when the emperor and Mrs. Zhou were also sad and troubled, I always thought they were so happy."

The girl named Ruyi was very emotional, or it was the first time she came into contact with these things, and the one next to her called Yumei hurriedly signaled to her: "Ruyi, talk to the heart, the harem place can't talk nonsense, tonight we are hiding in the rockery to eavesdrop on the emperor and Zhou Furao's words, we must not go out, some things would rather not be seen, just now I just wanted to satisfy your curiosity to take you over to take a peek, the emperor you have also seen it, not an example, if it is discovered, then our heads may move." ”

The wishful girl stuck out her tongue, then grimaced, and covered her mouth with her hand to show that she did not dare to say any more, so the two of them walked back to the court hand in hand, side by side.
