Although Qing Shi was grounded for a month, Xuan Ye finally went to the Yuanhe Hall and asked Zhang Jiazixin to serve in front of the emperor. Clear-eyed people know that this matter has a lot to do with the Qing Dynasty. The grounding is just a cover for Xuan Ye.

Qing Yu has always been cautious, and when Qing Shi openly went to Yikun Palace to ask His Majesty, it was bound to attract displeasure from some people, and after thinking about it, Qing Yu still decided to go to Yongshou Palace in person.

From the time he learned that An Concubine had died, Zixin became a member of the Qianqing Palace. Qing Shi's heart was faintly uneasy. She didn't know whether to pity that An Concubine or to be happy for Zixin, but just as she was falling into deep thought, she suddenly heard a familiar voice outside the door.

"This palace looks at the six palaces in the east and west, and the flowers here are the most beautiful."

Yixin bowed slightly, and before it could be communicated, Qing Shi came out quickly, stepped forward and grabbed Qing Yu's forearm and said angrily: "Why is my sister here, and I won't inform Qing Shi in advance." ”

"You have to inform me in advance, could it be that you have some treasure hidden in this palace and don't want your sister to know?"

"Oh, no......" Without waiting for Qing Shi to explain, Qing Yu opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that you went to intercede with Concubine An and were grounded?" ”

Qing Shi said aggrievedly: "Sister knows." ”

Qing Yu said with a smile: "Now the whole palace knows that the noble Tong dares to ask for His Majesty's grace for the disgraced concubine." ”

"Concubine An is also a poor person, she is seriously ill and no one cares, although His Majesty decreed that she should not visit, but she is also a concubine, how can Concubine Yi turn a deaf ear to her. When a person is about to die, I should do my best to fulfill her wish, and I should think of it as a blessing. Qing Shi said.

Qing Yu looked at her and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and couldn't help but worry: "Concubine Yi is the lord of Yikun Palace, and Concubine An is seriously ill, so she should inform Your Majesty of this matter, and turn a deaf ear to her, and let you, an outsider, invite Your Majesty, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?" Seeing that Qingshi's face changed suddenly, Qingyu continued, "Your Majesty has some friendship with An Concubine. Otherwise, you won't just be grounded when you go to intercede. Now that An Concubine has died, although His Majesty once hated An Concubine, but after meeting once, His Majesty has remembered her goodness, and all resentment will be transformed into nostalgia. If you didn't cause trouble in the first place, Concubine An would have died if she died, and who would care about a concubine who had fallen out of favor. Concubine Yi is thoughtful, and now she is not pleasing at both ends, how can she let you go easily. ”

"Sister, what should I do?"

How could Qing Yu not know Concubine Yi's thoughts, but she has always been unable to find flaws in her handling of things, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the city is still shallow in the Qing Dynasty, so how can she be Concubine Yi's opponent.

Qing Yu approached and whispered: "Concubine Yi is used to acting on the spot. In the future, you need to be cautious in everything you do. She is no better than Concubine Wen, she is shallow-minded and easy to deal with. All in all, be mindful of everything. ”

Qing Shi nodded and said yes, even Qingyu is such a cautious person in a high position, but she can't save Mei'er's life, let alone a little noble person who is not deeply involved in the world. She suddenly remembered what Long Keduo had said to her, this deep palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

After sending Qing Yu away, Qing Shi lay on the desk and pretended to sleep, after Nian Jin put on her coat, she saw Ziyin drying the futon in the courtyard, so she rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward and said, "I'll help you." ”

Ziyin handed the end of the futon to Nian Jin, looked at the sun, and said: "I heard that the people from the Internal Affairs Office said that our wave of palace people who have entered the palace will be able to visit relatives in Shenwumen on the second day of the next month." ”

Nian Jin glanced at her and sighed: "Visiting relatives, where do I have relatives to visit?" Since I was a child, I have been sold into the house and followed Gege, and I have never met my parents, and I don't know if they are alive or dead. ”

After Ziyin laid out the futon, she took Nianjin's hand and said, "Although my sister has no relatives to explore, there are still us, we are my sister's relatives." ”

Nian Jin Chao Ziyin cast a grateful gaze.

The palace stipulates that the second day of the lunar month is the day when palace people visit relatives. Visitors are not allowed to bring food or clothing to the palace staff.

The palace is strictly forbidden, and the palace people can only hide in their hearts when they are suffering and tired, and there is nowhere to say. Being able to meet your relatives is the most heartwarming thing in this deep palace, and it is the most precious.

Ziyin stood on the west side of the Shenwu Gate, anxiously waiting for the steward to read her name to visit relatives, about half an hour later, Ziyin finally heard the steward call her name, she stepped forward to look for her relatives at the palace gate.

"Ziyin!"

Ziyin squeezed forward hard, saw a familiar figure, and shouted happily, "Auntie! ”

The reunion of relatives is naturally very happy, the aunt pulled Ziyin to ask long and short questions, touched her head for a while, and pulled her clothes to look at it for a while, not realizing that the time to visit relatives has arrived. Ziyin could only say goodbye to her aunt, and when she watched her aunt's gradually aging body slowly turn around, her heart was inexplicably a little sour.

She was thinking about when she would be able to leave the palace to fulfill her filial piety, but she lost her mind for a while and ran into someone, she only said sorry and prepared to leave.

"You're... Consonant? ”

Ziyin raised his head in surprise, and when he saw Long Keduo on the side, he was quite puzzled in his heart: "Third Young Master?!" ”

The guard who Fang Cai Ziyin bumped into looked at her at this moment and said, "It turns out that you are from the Tong Guiren Palace."

Long Keduo introduced Ziyin: "This is Yan Zhu. ”

Ziyin was a little at a loss, so she saluted Yan Zhu.

"Why be so polite. Since we all know each other, we may have to keep going back and forth in the future. Yan Zhu waved his hand and looked at Long Keduo with a wicked smile.

Long Keduo glanced at him and asked Xiang Ziyin, "Are you here to visit relatives?"

Ziyin nodded.

"Qing ......" Long Keduo opened his mouth to realize that something was wrong, and quickly changed his tone and asked, "How is Guiren Tong okay lately?" ”

Ziyin replied respectfully: "Everything is fine with the nobleman."

Long Keduo felt a little more settled when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, so he only said to Ziyin: "Then you go back and tell your nobles and let her take care of herself." ”

Ziyin nodded yes, after she left. Long Keduo hammered at Yan Zhu: "What do you mean by frequent contact, what is the idea in your heart?" ”

Yan Zhu looked at Ziyin's distant figure and smiled: "Yo, you are only allowed to care about your sister, and I am not allowed to care about the little palace maid beside her?" ”

Long Keduo didn't want to pay attention to Yan Zhu, but only heard Yan Zhu ask: "I heard that your Hedong lion is about to give birth?" ”

Long Keduo said impatiently: "I said, how can you be like a woman, and you also take care of the short affairs of other people's parents?" ”

Yan Zhu said with a smile: "Brother Zhuyun's words are wrong, don't I care about you." You're all about to become Amma, and I haven't married yet. When your child is born, you will also recognize me as a godfather or something, so that I can live the addiction of being an ama. Seeing that Long Keduo was silent, Yan Zhu said again, "Anyway, my family is also full of nobles, the Duke's Mansion, what's the matter, isn't it worthy of your Tong family?" ”

Long Keduo said helplessly: "Whatever you want." Then he turned his head and left, Yan Zhu chased: "Eh, why are you ......like this?"

Long Keduo looked at the green begonias planted on the palace walls on both sides, and suddenly remembered the scene when he danced the sword in Chenliang Pavilion many years ago, and applauded in the Qing Dynasty. In the blink of an eye, the old times and old scenes are not there, and the willows on the palace wall are empty. He couldn't help but sigh.

Two years ago, he took in a Si'er who looked similar to Qing Shi at the palace gate, and he thought that it was God's mercy that made him really have something to trust, so he treated Si'er very well. But Tong Guowei strongly objected, and sold Si'er to the Qinglou, he could only show weakness, on the one hand, he pretended to be in love with the phoenix, and on the other hand, he redeemed Si'er, ready to find a reason to take her back to Tong's mansion.

Now Ci Huang is about to give birth, he knows that he owes everything, but he still does not change his original intention, when he takes Si'er back to the house, he immediately sends him to serve Ci Huang, Si'er grovels everywhere, Ci Huang no longer cares, however, Ci Huang never expected that Si'er will become a lingering nightmare in her life.
