"Lord......" Yuan Mingyue squeezed out of her throat with a hoarse roar, her arms were very painful from Yuan Xiu's hands, she tried her best to endure it, and she didn't know what to say.

Yuan Xiu's bloodshot eyes were red and his body was full of heavy alcohol, only by hurting himself like this could he vent the hatred hidden in his heart and the depression that could not be relieved.

"Life and death are nothing more than that." Yuan Xiu's eyes were like a dream, as if he was looking at Yuan Mingyue, but not like he was looking at her. He said it lightly, word by word, and hugged Yuan Mingyue tightly, his breath cloudy and heavy around her neck. This sentence burst out like a heartbeat. At this moment, Yuan Mingyue suddenly deeply understood the suffering of Yuan Xiu. The only thing she could do was to wrap her arms tightly around Yuan Xiu's shoulders and back.

Guarding the outside was still the old slave and maid. The princess of the plains was born fatherless, and at least she was always on her side. The princess grows up and marries with her. During this period, Qian Xiang lost her husband, and then the princess was newly widowed, until this time, Qian Yuan was close to each other, and she was almost never separated from Yuan Mingyue again. Yuan Mingyue is called "aunt", as if she has been treated like a mother.

Where the princess of the plain Yuan Mingyue Yan lived, all the house slaves listened to the dispatch. At this time, in addition to the princess's mansion, there were two sporadic guards guarding the entrance from afar. Although separated by a wall, the sound in the house can be heard clearly.

She couldn't remember when Yuan Mingyue, the princess of the plains, and Yuan Xiu, the emperor, had feelings for each other. The princess was widowed soon after she got married, but she was not so sad. In fact, it is only a matter of time before you remarry in the future. Yuan Mingyue had a close relationship with her brother Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch. And Pingyang Wang Yuanxiu is a frequent visitor to the middle seat of Nanyang Palace. Maybe it's because of this, they come and go, and they fall in love over time, and they lose their morality.

But in Qian Yuan's view, Yuan Mingyue's wholehearted devotion is pitiful, even Yuan Xiu is also frank and open-minded, and treats Yuan Mingyue with sincerity. So she didn't feel that there was a disrespect between the two. Qian Qian did her best to protect the princess, but she was just humble. And to this day, Yuan Mingyue and Yuan Xiu have finally achieved a positive result, even if she is still worried and inevitably uneasy, but at least she is still a little comforted in her heart.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a noble lady in the inner courtyard who was negotiating something with the soldiers in armor guarding the Son of Heaven, and at a glance recognized it as the concubine of Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch, Yifu Yue'e, followed by a few slaves and maids. Qian Qian hurriedly turned around and tapped on the window lattice, and whispered: "Lord, princess, Nanyang Princess Yi Fu visits the princess." ”

The noise in the house was still there, and there was no response. Qiang re-reported. After a while, I heard Yuan Mingyue's coquettish voice, "Please come in, Princess Nanyang." ”

"Yes." Qian Qian answered and listened to silence again, and then walked slowly down the stone steps to the courtyard gate.

Ofer saw that she was coming from a distance, and although she could see that she had doubts on her face, she was not in a hurry to ask. Qian Qian first saluted the princess respectfully, and then conveyed an oracle to the Son of Heaven's attendants, inviting the princess to enter. Naturally, the sergeant was released without a word.

led Princess Yifu to go inside, and Qian Qian reported in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Princess, Your Majesty is in the princess's bedroom, and it was Your Majesty who summoned the princess to see her." ”

Ephesian didn't speak, but his heart was both doubtful and shocked. What is surprising is that after the emperor was established yesterday, he went out of the palace early in the morning to the princess of the plains mansion without permission, I don't know what will happen if the new queen Gao Changjun and the prime minister Gao Huan know about it. Suspicious is that the emperor summoned herself to see and didn't know what it meant, she was the princess of Nanyang, and she always felt inconvenient to meet the emperor in private.

Yuan Xiu and Yuan Mingyue were both dressed neatly, and the bedrooms were full of slaves and maids serving and washing in the princess's mansion. When Yi Fu entered the door, she saw that the emperor and the princess of the plains were standing in the door to greet her, and the indoor scene made her feel illusory, as if it was her Nanyang Palace, and she and the ingots torch got up to wash in the morning. Don't dare to think about it, first salute the emperor.

"The princess doesn't have to be polite." Yuan Xiu commanded in a flat voice, and his rare voice was pleasant.

"Sister-in-law, get up quickly." Yuan Mingyue personally came up to support Yi Fushi. Because of the eldest sister-in-law's care, Yuan Mingyue is very close to Yue'e in her heart.

By this time, she had already gone out with the slaves and maids.

Yuan Xiu turned around and walked away a few steps, and sat down in the chair under the window that Yuan Mingyue usually sat on, and didn't say anything more. His eyes looked at the furnishings in the dormitory, as if he was studying it silently in his heart, and listened to the conversation between a pair of sisters-in-law over there, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Sister-in-law," Yuan Mingyue took Yi Fu Yue'e to the dressing table on the other side and sat down, "I have something with the Lord today that I want to ask my sister-in-law for help. Yuan Mingyue said that her eyes were already red.

"Little sister ......" Yi Fu was in a hurry, and called out the title of Yuan Mingyue when she was not crowned princess.

When she woke up from a dream, Queen Gao Changjun didn't know whether she had slept or not slept all night. It seems that yesterday was lost overnight, and it seems that Shaohua is old overnight. The past seemed to have existed only in dreams. Wake up almost without knowing where you are. There was a very bright light coming in from the light gauze curtain cage, and it was the first morning of the Jiaofang Palace.

The inside and outside are orderly, the palace maids shuttle back and forth, and the Jiaofang Palace has been neatly staffed for a while. Gao Changjun is not only heroic immediately, but also loves makeup. After the makeup, he was already beautiful at this time, and he was ready to get up and go to greet Emperor Yuan Xiu. was carefully inspecting the bronze mirror for any rudeness, and Ruoyun, the maid who was married behind him, approached gently, and the other palace maids had been sent out by Ruoyun. In the huge Jiaofang Palace, there were only two people left, the master and the slave.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gao Changjun turned to look at Ruoyun and asked. Ruoyun is a slave who has served her since she was a child, she is very smart and has a degree of advance and retreat, and she is very trusted by Mrs. Lou and Dacheng. As for the reason why Ruoyun married into the palace, naturally he knew it.

"Your Highness," Ruoyun knelt down in front of Gao Changjun's knees and whispered, "The Lord drank all night last night, and left the palace in the early morning to go to the Yuan Mingyue Mansion of the Plains Princess, and stayed for a long time. Later, Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch Princess Yi Fu also went to the Plains Princess Mansion. Ruoyun looked up at Gao Changjun as she spoke, she was angry in her heart, and complained that the emperor had left the newlywed queen out of the palace and went to Yuan Mingyue's mansion. After a pause, he said, "Not long after, suddenly there was a commotion in the Plains Princess's Mansion, saying that the princess Yi Fu was accidentally injured in the sister-in-law's inner room, and asked the king of Nanyang to hurry to the Plains Princess Mansion to pick up the princess." After speaking, Ruoyun looked at the queen and waited for orders.

Gao Changjun's face was calm and waveless, and she couldn't see anything, she could only see from her beautiful eyes that she was thinking a lot. I didn't ask about the princess's mansion, I just asked, "How do you know this?" "She needs to understand what is going on around her.

Ruoyun replied respectfully: "The palace and the palaces, as well as the princess of the plains, are the eyes and ears of the prime minister. Before the slave and maid entered the palace with His Royal Highness, the prime minister instructed the slave and maid, and if someone reported everything to the slave and maid, the slave and maid reported to His Highness, and his Royal Highness would control it. The prime minister advised, and during this decision, all decisions were made to obey His Highness's proposals. "Ruoyun is Gao Changjun's confidant.

Gao Changjun only understood at this moment that his father had completely handed over the affairs of the palace to her. Thinking back to what her mother, Mrs. Lou, said the day before she entered the palace, only then did she realize that she had a heavy responsibility. The future of the Gao family, the Yuan family, and even the Great Wei family is inseparable from her.

Gao Changjun's waist was straight, and when he raised his eyes, he had a very decisive look, and commanded, "I know." She was sure that Ruoyun would not talk to the second person again, but her concerns were elsewhere, "Don't make Your Majesty doubt and uneasy." ”

"Yes." Ruoyun replied, "The palace maid has come to report, Your Majesty has returned to the palace and is coming to the Jiaofang Palace." ”

Yuan Xiu walked alone on the long stone steps in front of the Jiaofang Palace. The happy mood in the Plains Princess Mansion just now has sneaked away, and the difficult side of Nanyang Wang Yuanbaoju has given him support in his heart. But at this moment, when he returned to the palace and faced Gao Changjun in the Jiaofang Palace, he didn't know why, and a faint regret suddenly rose. Even he was slightly surprised by this.

walked to the door of the palace, took a deep breath, and was about to let the palace maid go in, when he suddenly saw Gao Changjun come out. She smiled on her face, and the bright sunlight was reflected on her face, which made him feel as if it was the first sunny day after the rain, and the dark clouds had cleared up one day, and it seemed that all the gloom in his heart had been dispelled. Even his heart was illuminated by the scorching sun, and he had never felt like this before. I didn't know what to say for a while. Including the fear of the prime minister and the hesitation of the new queen, they were put aside in an instant. Even if it was only temporary, even if it was only for a short moment, he was content.

"Queen......" Yuan Xiu's throat choked slightly, looking at Gao Changjun who bowed to him, he didn't know what to say. He hesitated, as if trying to reach out to her to help her up.

"Lord." Gao Changjun's voice was soft and authentic, "The concubine has prepared a meal, please come to the lord to eat." ”

"Good ......" Yuan Xiu was in a complicated mood, and he had entered the Jiaofang Hall like the moon held by the stars.

There is only food and clothing, only chatter, just like ordinary couples, just like ordinary people. Emperor Yuan Xiu really felt that there was a lot of warmth in this Jiaofang Palace.

Sometimes people watch plays, sometimes people act. Gao Cheng, the son of Gao Huan, the prime minister of the King of Bohai, was finally crowned with an official position in order to act in this play. From this moment on, he is no longer just the prince of Bohai Wang, the emperor ordered Jin Gaocheng to serve in the middle of the palace, and opened the palace with the three divisions. In the future, Gao Cheng, who was still young, was already one of the hundred officials, and he could listen to the affairs of the court with him. And after being promoted to the rank of official, Gao Cheng's first major event was his marriage to Princess Yuan Zhonghua, the daughter of King Qinghe, Feng Yi.

After seeing the grand ceremony of the imperial court, Gao Cheng saw that the eldest sister Gao Changjun had thoughtful etiquette and manners and was canonized in front of hundreds of officials. Its dignified atmosphere and radiant spirit have to make people praise the queen's virtue and appearance. But today, as a party to the party, he is like a puppet at the mercy of others, and he is really physically and mentally exhausted, and his qi is stagnant. Finally, the etiquette ended, Gao Cheng was extremely impatient and drank Cui Jishu and the others, did not allow anyone to follow, and went to the small courtyard where he and the princess were going to live after they got married.

Although the amount of alcohol is not shallow, it is the first time in history that I have been so indulgent. Everything else is fine, it's just the same, the heat is unbearable, and I can't stop being upset. Finally, no one followed, quieted down, and halfway through, I felt that the night breeze was refreshing, stopped under a few laurel trees, and sat on the stone bench under the tree, and there was still a roar in my ears.

I just feel clear and bright in front of me. The moonlight in the middle of the sky is soft yellow, the stars are shining, the goose yellow golden cinnamon is wrapped in the moonlight and flashes with silver light, and the fragrance of osmanthus is faint and refreshing into the heart and spleen everywhere. Gao Cheng experienced the quietness around him even more in the gradually unreal hustle and bustle in the distance. Nothing is real.

"Ah Hui......" suddenly heard a call that wanted to speak and stopped.

It was a woman's voice, like a soul hooking people.

Gao Cheng couldn't help but look around, only to feel that the wine in his stomach was surging to his chest and head, his face was burning blood-red, and he was so impulsive that he wanted to do something to draw this power out, but he was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

A person finally walked out of the goose-yellow golden cinnamon bush, "Ah Hui, it's me." "It's still the same faint green figure. It turned out to be Zheng Dache, the favorite concubine of Prime Minister Gao Huan.
