She sat on the main seat of the main hall of Changchun Palace, squinted at the few people sitting respectfully below, and couldn't help but smile playfully at the corners of her mouth. And in her hands is fiddling with her gold armor, I have to say that the lotus flower silk inlaid ruby gold armor is more and more known that her hands are delicate and white, and it also adds a bit of majesty.

Retracting his gaze, he still didn't say a word for a long time, and continued to fiddle with his armor as if nothing had happened. In this harem, there is no need to guess if there is such a posture - this is the current imperial concubine, Niu Kulu's Qixue.

There was also a concubine and two nobles sitting in the hall, all waiting eagerly to speak to the imperial concubine.

A palace maid walked briskly in the hall. Looking at the color of the clothes she was wearing, she probably estimated that she was a female official of the rank of demeanor. I saw her leaning into the ear of the imperial concubine and saying something, and the imperial concubine put away her chilling smile and looked down at the concubines present.

I saw her suddenly speak, "According to the report of the spies in the palace, Concubine Cheng and the others have never returned to the palace, I am afraid that they have gathered together." As for the three princesses, they are quite safe and don't do much. Hongu was thinking that it was good for them to discuss things, and we should also discuss it. ”

When the people below heard this, they didn't dare to say anything, at most they looked up at her a few times, but they didn't speak.

"Don't hold back, just have something to say...... In that case, I'll talk about it first. He Huang Guifei seemed to be very satisfied with the actions of these people, nodded, and raised her hand in the air, "Come in." ”

As soon as his words fell, several people dressed in palace maid clothes came in, knelt in front of the imperial concubine, and all bowed their heads and greeted in unison, "Subordinates kneel down to see Miss." ”

and the imperial concubine suddenly did not respond.

She looked at the palace maids in front of her, and her eyes were so deep that she couldn't see the bottom, and she couldn't see any emotion. Those people still knelt in front of her with great peace and let her look at them.

For a while, the hall returned to quiet, and no one dared to say a word.

"It's not like it's kneeling all the time. Ruyue asked a few of her sisters to get up first, no matter how you say that your Qiao family has been following the Niu Kulu clan for generations, kneeling like this seems that our Niu Kulu clan is not close to people. "If the noble man saw that his sister did not intend to let these people get up, he spoke out himself.

He Imperial Concubine glanced at her, but didn't say anything, just took her words and said, "What Ruyue said is exactly what she said. The loyalty of your Qiao family is self-existent, and this palace can also be trusted.

"This palace has now asked the family for a few of you young women to enter the palace, and you must also know the intention of this palace. All of you here have come all the way from the mansion with the main palace, and you are very aware of the current situation.

"It's the Lantern Festival in ten days, and it's just a time for a certain person to play, this time the right to operate is no longer to fight, most of them are going to fall into their hands, if you have anything to say, just say it, this palace wants to hear it."

With that, she took a sip of her tea.

Having said this, the following people have some movement. These people naturally knew that after her words were finished, she would not speak again in the remaining time, unless someone agreed with her and the imperial concubine, or went against her wishes.

"Niangniang, today is the fourth day of the new year, and it will be the Lantern Festival in ten days. Although it is the Lantern Festival, it is not as late as the 27th (1), so I am afraid that it will not be very lively. However, Concubine Cheng is missing the help of a princess, so it is better to push the boat down the river and give the four princesses a ride. Concubine Ying got up and saluted, and after standing still, she slowly said.

"Sister Ying's words make some sense." For example, the noble man propped one elbow on the table, his apricot eyes opened slightly, and there was a slight smile on his lips, "No wonder Concubine Jin always said that in this palace, except for the imperial concubine, Sister Ying is the most thoughtful." ”

"Sister Miao praised, the concubine body is more than half a cut worse than the mother." Concubine Ying smiled lightly and slowly sat back on the chair, "Besides, what the imperial concubine Niangniang and Sister Ru said is very reasonable, and the concubine is not easy to comment on it." It's just that I don't know why Sister Rong doesn't speak? Can you get some advice? ”

"The concubine was looking down and thinking about things, but she panicked and asked Niang Niang Haihan." Rong Guiren was distracted for a moment, and this time he also came to his senses, and responded, "What Niangniang said, Xinrong has no objection." ”

"My sister is also a spiriter on weekdays, what's the matter, at such a juncture, she has no opinion?" For example, the noble man smiled "poof", and couldn't help but joke, "How old is my sister, but I envy you young people." ”

"Ruyue, Bengong is also a few years older than you, and your words also make Bengong envious." He Huang Guifei's tone was a little cold, like a cold wind in the wax moon, without a trace of temperature. After giving the palace maids a look, she continued to stare at the nobles.

"Yes...... Ruyue said the wrong thing. ”

Gyeongin Palace.

"Princess, rest early." Standing behind Ruohua, his eyes were dark blue that couldn't be erased, obviously a little more tired than Ruohua. Ruohua glanced at her, "What about you?" Haven't you stopped yet? ”

"I didn't follow the princess today, but I couldn't sleep." Xian Yu smiled at Ruohua, although the smile seemed a little far-fetched, but it was still a person.

"Are you blaming Hongu for this?" Ruohua raised an eyebrow. Slender is the personal palace maid that the queen pointed out to the original owner when she was still alive, and if she hadn't been in her way over the years, the original owner would have died long ago.

Xian Yi always felt that such a princess was unfamiliar, and blurted out for a while, "Why is the princess so preoccupied today, but Xian Yi likes the carefree princess in the past." ”

"You think so, too?" Ruohua glanced at her, as if he had expected her words a long time ago, "That's when Bengong realized that Bengong was too stupid before, and always felt that he was nothing good, so he always let it." Now that I think about it, I feel that there is nothing bad about this palace, living in this kind of emperor's house, what is there to give up on yourself? ”

"Princess......" Xian Yu was a little speechless by her sudden words, but before she could speak, Ruohua continued, "I have worked hard for you all these years, if it weren't for you, this palace wouldn't know how to live until now." ”

"Princess...... Presumably, the queen mother has the spirit in the sky, and she will be happy for the princess. There was a choking in her delicate voice, but in the dim candlelight, Ruohua couldn't see her face clearly.

Ruohua cried when she saw her, so she had to comfort her gently, "It's okay, it's all over...... Hongu is tired, so let's rest early. ”

"Yes."

Ruohua couldn't help but pray in secret, hoping that this time, she would not lose another world.

[Note](1) [27th]: The funeral of the emperor and the empress is a state funeral, and filial piety must be observed in the palace for 27 months, during which it is strictly forbidden to hold all kinds of festive or entertainment activities, and it is not allowed to have children in the same room.
