Chinese New Year's Eve.

Eighteen years of Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Qinghuan has never felt so cold in her life. When I was young, my parents and siblings surrounded me and pampered me. Even last year, at least there was a not-so-lively banquet, a bowl of mashed potatoes, and a bed with Qi Yan's temperature.

But now, she is indeed alone. Today she had dinner, called everyone down early, turned off the lights, and it was very dark in the palace at this moment. She adjusted to the darkness in front of her, and could only see her lonely figure.

But at this moment, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded outside, she subconsciously looked out, through the window, and saw red fireworks rising in the air, and it seemed outside... It looks very lively.

Perhaps this excitement aroused the loneliness in Shen Qinghuan's heart, tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve, but she could only hold her knees, look at the fireworks in the distance, and think blankly that Qi Yan agreed to her to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

Perhaps, he didn't care at all.

The light of the fireworks illuminated Shen Qinghuan's dim Chenghuan Palace, flickering and flickering, in fact, after a long time, Shen Qinghuan gradually felt that he was not so confused and scared in his heart.

In the distance, Qi Yan stood in the huge and empty Golden Cloud Palace, looked at the fireworks that had been set off for almost half an hour, and slowly spoke: "Okay, stop." ”

He didn't know what she was doing at the moment, but he hoped she could see the fireworks in the sky, and maybe it would be like he was with him.

This may be my New Year's gift to you!

This cold Chinese New Year's Eve is over in the end.

On the second day, Shen Qinghuan got up very early, and Red Sleeves packed her things last night, she thought, leave early, and be less nostalgic.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a familiar face.

"Yu Du..."Shen Qinghuan was stunned, "Why are you here?" ”

"On the orders of the emperor, Niangniang has been in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for a few months, and the ministers will accompany her throughout the whole process." Yu Du said.

"Is it accompaniment? Or surveillance..."Shen Qinghuan said weakly, not seeming to feel happy, nor did he feel Qi Yan's good intentions. In her heart, now that Qi Yan has decided that she is the murderer of the child, even if she agrees to go to the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, she is unwilling, and even sends Yu Du, the most powerful person around her, to go with her.

"Niangniang, the emperor is not what you think." Yu Du couldn't help but say.

Shen Qinghuan just nodded lightly, not wanting to argue with him about this issue. I can only comfort myself that I know Yu Du, and I believe that Yu Du will definitely protect himself... And your own children!

Walking to the gate of the palace, Shen Qinghuan saw Ye Ruyu and Xu Wanwan waiting there, both wrapped in thick jackets and holding a stove. At this moment, Shen Qinghuan felt that the weather was so cold...

She shuddered and pulled her clothes tight.

Ye Ruyu is a person who knows the ins and outs, she looked at Shen Qinghuan's eyes with a little distress, and Xu Wanwan was very sorry.

Xu Wanwan said: "The queen has always been in poor health, in that place in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, you must pay attention to your body..."

Shen Qinghuan has always known that it is easy to put icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and Xu Wanwan can still maintain her respect and gentleness as always at this time, she feels that it is not easy.

"Thank you..."Shen Qinghuan said.

Ye Ruyu shook her cold hand and said, "The weather is cold now, and it is even more so on the mountain, you can rest assured there, waiting for the emperor to come and pick you up." ”

Shen Qinghuan smiled, she knew that these were scenes, the emperor might not come.

However, it is true to take good care of the fetus, Ye Ruyu did not say it, but she knew it in her heart.

"Now there are only two concubines in the palace, and the only one who can compete with Fu Yuling in status is Wanwan, I hope... I hope you and Ye Zhaoyi can support each other... Be careful of Fu Yuling..."Shen Qinghuan said.

"I will." Xu Wanwan said, "I know, I can be promoted to concubine, in fact, the queen mother said it in front of the emperor... With my qualifications, how could it be? She smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What's the use of having a high status, it's true that you can get the emperor's heart." Shen Qinghuan said lightly, I don't know if I thought of myself, even if you are the queen, you are still forced to leave the palace.

"Don't be sad anymore, it's not necessarily a good thing to leave." Ye Ruyu comforted.

Shen Qinghuan nodded, but unconsciously turned back, paused for a while, and came back to his senses, but he didn't know what he was looking at or expecting, he only felt ridiculous. A gust of wind blew the hair on her forehead, making her thin little face even more pale and helpless.

"Let's go, mother." Yu Du said.

Shen Qinghuan didn't say anything more, lifted her skirt a little, and stepped into the carriage.

I don't know how long this farewell will be.

......

In the palace of the Queen Mother.

Ning Jia was kneeling on the Queen Mother's knees, gently beating her legs. Ning Jia is smart and virtuous, generous and decent, and the Ning family behind her is also quite prestigious, so the Queen Mother has always had a good impression of her. Since Shen Qinghuan was not favored and the Chen family was defeated, she has been looking for a backer by her side, and now she feels that this Ning Jia is a good choice.

"After the queen leaves, the mourning family will slowly promote you to help Concubine Xian and Concubine De assist in the sixth palace." The Queen Mother spoke slowly.

Ning Jia thanked her first, but then spoke: "Ning Jia is stupid, I don't understand a little." ”

"You say."

"The queen mother is the daughter of the queen mother's own nephew, why doesn't the queen mother rely on her?"

"She, pampered since she was a child, can't stand a little grievance. You see how much she was wronged in front of the emperor, and she couldn't help but leave the palace. I rely on her, it is better to ask God to worship Buddha, and hope that Qi Yan will not trouble me. The Queen Mother smiled coldly,

"I see." Ning Jia said on her lips, but she felt a little scared in her heart for her cold-blooded ruthlessness.

As he spoke, a man walked in.

Ning Jia turned around, but she didn't recognize the man.

"I'm here, sit down!" The Queen Mother said.

Ning Jia suddenly knew in her heart, this person must be the son of the Queen Mother, Kang Yong. At the beginning, she heard a lot about the uselessness of Kang Yan, even if there was no Qi Yan, the Kang family was definitely succeeded by the second prince Kang Yan, and it was definitely not Kang Yan.

But this useless straw bale is very bold and demanding. The king gave away the land, Qi Yan did everything he could, but he still looked like this, which made onlookers like her feel sorry.

"Didn't you ask, who is this beauty?" Kang Yong opened his mouth, and the playful tone made Ning Jia very uncomfortable.

"This is Ning Guiren."

"It's Qi Yan's nobleman again, the beauty of the world, is it possible to give it to him?" Kang Yong said dissatisfiedly, thinking of Shen Qinghuan, that looks like a beauty that is really famous in the capital, who would not be moved? Especially someone like him who loves beauty.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is in the palace!" The Queen Mother scolded, "It's been a year, and my temperament hasn't changed, look at this unobstructed problem!" ”

Ning Jia felt very embarrassed, so she said, "Queen Mother, the concubine retreated first." ”

After the Queen Mother promised, Kang Yong coveted: "This girl looks good!" ”

"Didn't I marry you a concubine just a month ago?" The Queen Mother sighed and said, "The emperor's woman, do you want to move too?" ”

"Mother... Who said that all the beauties in the world are here? ”

"Okay, okay, how are you doing?" The Queen Mother greeted.

"What else can it be, just so. None of the women around me knew each other. Especially that princess, if I take a concubine, she will lose her temper. Kang said disdainfully.

"You, ask how you are, you only think about those women. At the beginning, this princess was also begged by the mourning family to marry you, saying that she looked like a fairy, but now she dislikes it. ”

"That is, now in the palace, there are beautiful women like clouds, what are my few?" Kang Yong took a sip of tea, and said, "By the way, I heard that the queen mother went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray for blessings today?" ”

"That's right, what's wrong?"

"Hey, it's a pity, such a good beauty, the emperor doesn't cherish it at all." Kang Yong shook his head, "However, that Ning Guiren is also very good." ”

The Queen Mother wanted to reprimand a few words, but as if she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea in her mind...

"Queen Mother, what are you thinking?"

"Now that Qi Yan has lost the support of the Shen family, if you get the support of the Ning family, is it okay..."

The queen mother showed a mysterious smile on her face, this country was originally fought by the Kang family, he Qi Yan just relied on his outstanding military achievements and bought the hearts of the people, so he became the throne, and he also relied on marrying the prime minister's daughter to win over the Shen family, and let her son only be the king.

But now it's different, he personally ordered that the favored daughter of the Shen family go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to pray for blessings, this discerning person can see that it is a humiliation, he has no Shen family's support, if the Ning family gives the Kang family help again, the Kang family promises to give Ning Jia the position of queen, this deal, it's not impossible!

"Okay, it's time for me to take a nap, you can go down first." The Queen Mother said.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Kang Yong walked out happily, and when he passed by the Jinyun Palace, he saw Qi Yan playing chess alone in an empty place. He was slightly stunned, stepped forward and saluted, "See the emperor." ”

As if he hadn't heard it, Qi Yan played white chess by himself, and picked up black chess again, looking expressionless.

Kang Yong was a little embarrassed, and even a little unfair in his heart, but in front of Qi Yan, he was embarrassed to attack, and he only felt that this person was ruthless and unrighteous. Even if he knew that Shen Qinghuan was going to the Buddhist temple, he would ask a question to express his regret. And he, on the other hand, is here, playing chess as if nothing happened.

No one knew what Qi Yan was thinking at this moment, his mind was almost a little paralyzed, he didn't know what else he could do to make himself forget about Shen Qinghuan's departure besides keeping himself busy.
