Although it is the end of autumn, the garden is still beautiful, with green trees, as colorful as the warm spring season, and it is the season of chrysanthemums, golden flowers, dotted among the perennial green trees, yellow and green, dizzying.

In the bluestone passage in the middle of the garden, there are two young beauties dressed in gorgeous clothes and excellent figures, walking together. From a distance, the two seem to be leisurely, and their lives are quite satisfying! Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that they are actually absent-minded, sighing for a long time, and seemingly having no fun in everything. However, although the two of them were full of worries, they couldn't hide their respective natural and national colors, even the dazzling flowers and plants in the garden were a little overshadowed by their intervention.

Maybe it's because his heart is too heavy, although Pei Lin didn't hide it, strode into the garden, and came behind him, the two beauties didn't notice it at all. Seeing that the two of them were so depressed, Pei Lin couldn't help but smile proudly, and bowed to their backs and said:

"The two Niangniang Yaxing are not shallow, they are so fascinated by the flowers, and the lower officials are suddenly disturbed, don't be surprised! Otherwise, the lower officials really can't afford it! ”

"It turned out that the palace supervisor had arrived, why not let people report it in advance! There is a loss of welcome, a loss of respect! Disrespectful! The two of them were stunned, and at the same time turned around, seeing that Pei Lin was in a hurry, they knew that he had something to say, and they asked together: "The palace eunuch came in a hurry, there must be something important to teach?" ”

It turned out that both of them used to be favorite concubines in Emperor Wen's palace, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Yin. Concubine Zhang's name is Yanxue. Concubine Yin's name is Qin Se. If you want to say lucky, they are really lucky - back then, Emperor Wen was controlled by Queen Dugu's tigress, and witnessed a large number of young and beautiful beauties entering the palace for many years, but they could only be used as a beautiful ornament, and they didn't dare to get close. As for the two of them, not long after entering the palace, Queen Dugu drove to the west, just in time, with the advantage of being young and beautiful, she was very favored by Emperor Wen. If you want to say that it is unfortunate, they are really unlucky, less than two years after entering the palace, Emperor Wen died, and the honor that had just arrived became yesterday's yellow flower in a blink of an eye.

Seriously speaking, after Yang Guang's womanizer ascended the throne, the second concubine did not have the opportunity to get close, and it is a pity that there is still one more Empress Xiao in the palace. Although Empress Xiao is incapable of controlling Yang Guang like Queen Dugu manipulating Emperor Wen, in the end, she is the master of the six palaces, once she looks at someone who is not pleasing to her eyes every day, although she can't ask for someone's life at every turn, she can also come up with some ways to punish and punish, or prevent the other party from approaching Yang Guang. At the beginning, even the beautiful and talented women Wu Yixian, Yuan Baoer and others, who were once like fish in water and deeply favored by Yang Guang, were also under the strong intervention of Empress Xiao, so they had to hold back their tears with sadness, restrain their edge, and not get too close to Yang Guang.

Although the second concubine is also young and beautiful, compared with Wu Yixian and Yuan Baoer, who have just entered the palace, there is an obvious gap, Wu, Yuan and others are in such a situation, how much better can everything be for them. Besides, the two of them thought about all the glory and favor scenery when they were by Emperor Wen's side, and they couldn't let go of their bodies for a while, and they didn't want to bend their hearts to meet them, so they inevitably felt a little more respectful and distant from Empress Xiao. With Empress Xiao's usual behavior, even if the second concubine obediently obeys her will, she may not be able to accommodate it easily, and seeing that they are unwilling to flatter, she becomes more and more angry. As a punishment, Empress Xiao pretended to ask Yang Guang for his will, claiming that the second concubine had been favored by the first emperor and should not stay in the palace to serve the emperor for a long time (that reason is actually very far-fetched, in the Sui and Tang dynasties and before, no one cared too much about a woman's chastity, and it was very common for the father and concubine to succeed the son, and even the son and wife and father were tyrants), so that they led more than 400 palace maids and palace slaves to Jinyang Palace to settle down for a long time, and they were not allowed to enter the court for the rest of their lives. At the same time, Empress Xiao also ordered Pei Lian, the deputy supervisor of the palace, to take care of the people, so that they could not make a mistake.

For this reason, Pei Lin is called a courtier, but he is actually a supervisor of the second concubine, and his power is much greater than that of the two of them. The second concubine has been hit and is already sluggish, in order to avoid causing trouble again, she usually acts by looking at Pei Lian's face, and talking to each other very casually, no difference between upper and lower.

"The two mothers said this, Weichen is ashamed!" Pei Lin apologized, bent down again, but his expression was very grinning, and he laughed obviously and said, "This garden is full of gorgeous flowers and plants, the two mothers should have enjoyed enough, maybe they can't add Weichen alone, so that Weichen is also fortunate to share such a rare beauty!" ”

"The palace eunuch loves flowers and plants, if he doesn't see the outside, even if he comes often," because she couldn't figure out Pei Lian's original intention, the two concubines looked at each other for a moment in confusion, and Concubine Zhang lightly opened her lips and said with a reluctant smile, "My sister dares not to wait for the arrival of the big driver at any time!" ”

"The two mothers are so generous, Weichen is really flattered!" Pei Lin smiled, not allowing the second concubine to come back to her senses, suddenly suppressed her smile and sighed, turned her head around, stared at them fixedly and said, "Alas, the flowers and plants are beautiful, but unfortunately they are ruthless and sexless, and they can't solve people's loneliness, let alone save people's danger!" ”

Listening to Pei Lian's obvious and provocative words, the second concubine's heart couldn't help but tremble at the same time, secretly thinking that this person is not greedy for beauty and intends to have adultery with the two of us, if this is the case, anyway, this place is far away from the emperor of the sky, but it is a good way to talk about a moment of hunger and thirst! Thinking of this, the two pairs of shining eyes couldn't help but turn around in unison, sending autumn waves towards Pei Lian, and then every word he spit out has become soft and delicate:

"If the palace supervisor has something to do, just say it bluntly, my sisters are all people in distress, and everything is up to the lord!"

"When there is chaos today, thieves are everywhere, and a small Jinyang Palace is difficult to guarantee when it will become a comfortable nest for rebellious ministers and thieves." Pei Lin said and stared at the second concubine again with two sharp eyes, "The minister is very worried about the safety of the two mothers!" ”

"Lord Cheng is worried, why don't my sisters worry about this matter!" Concubine Zhang observed the words and looks, and knew that Pei Lin still had the following, "The palace eunuch has a clever plan, although he gives advice!" ”

"General Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guogong who stayed in Bingzhou, can be called a rare talent, benevolent, and good at understanding people's hearts," Pei Lin replied, "Why don't the two ladies announce him into the palace and entrust the safety of the palace to the fullest?" As long as General Li protects him, do you still have to worry about the peace in the palace? ”

"It's really as the adults said, of course it's good, but it's a pity that my sister is going on a bad luck and is soft-spoken, I'm afraid it's rare to be valued by General Li Yuan!" Concubine Zhang sighed and said, "The chaotic world has long been a monarch, a minister is not a minister, and people don't take us weak women who were abandoned by the emperor in their eyes, it's human nature!" ”

"Why should the mother be so arrogant!" Pei Lin raised his head and laughed and said, "People's hearts, aren't all flesh long, if the two mothers let General Li Yuan get enough benefits, or taste the sweetness, so that he can't shirk it if he wants to, and don't worry about him refusing to agree?" ”

"Xiaoxiao Jinyang Palace, in addition to the limited amount of gold, silver and money, what more precious things make people happy?" Concubine Zhang still said casually, "General Li Yuan was born in a wealthy family, how could he be greedy for such petty profits!" ”

"Although what Niangniang said is very reasonable, it may not be all right! If the two mothers are willing to listen to the advice of Weichen, they don't have to worry about the lack of rare treasures at all! Pei Lin smiled treacherously again, put his lips close to the second concubine's ear, and solemnly told Li Shimin what he had entrusted.

When the second concubine heard this, their hearts tightened, and the two pink faces turned from red to white at the same time, from white to blue, and couldn't help but exclaim in unison:

"The palace eunuch can't be sick, right? This kind of nonsense actually came from the mouth of an adult! How can my sister be disloyal and unrighteous and do such a rebellious thing? Besides, once the emperor finds out about this kind of thing in the future, it will be a great crime to exterminate the clan! When the time comes, the palace eunuch will shoulder the heavy responsibility of guardianship, no matter how magnanimous the emperor is, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the crime of disobedience and capital crimes, affecting the whole family, old and young, and even relatives of the same clan! ”

"Please forgive Weichen for being blunt, the two mothers have been guarding the palace for many years, sitting in the well and watching the sky, and they don't understand the earth-shattering changes in the world today, so they have this kind of concern!" Pei Lian's face sank, and he said angrily, "Based on the current chaos, how long can the emperor sit in that position, I'm afraid the gods are unpredictable!" He himself just doesn't know how to, he doesn't care about the big things in the world, he just cares about playing around, and the defeat is getting more and more out of control! Besides, Shangcang once warned the emperor in a dream that the Yang family's qi was exhausted, and it would be replaced by a person surnamed Li! ”

"Come on, come on!" The second concubine reached out to cover her ears exaggeratedly at the same time, "Lord Palace Supervisor, with such a horrific remark, it is better to close your mouth as soon as possible, so as not to provoke right and wrong for no reason!" ”

"General Li Yuan's troops are many and wide, and all the children under his knees are brave and good at fighting, once they raise troops, those who have the strength to compete for the world, who will they be?" Pei Lin smiled proudly, just as he said, "If the two mothers are blindly obsessed, they will lose such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with their eyes wide open, and it will be too late to regret it in the future!" In other words, the two mothers have been in the palace for many years, living alone in an empty house, lamenting the helplessness of the situation day and night, what do they get? If you are attached to General Li Yuan, what will come in exchange will be a new world, and once he seizes the world in the future, it is even more logical for the two mothers to be rich and noble for a long time! Why not do such a good thing? ”

The words made the second concubine speechless. The two concubines are thirteen years old into the palace, although they have served two generations of emperors, but the age is only twenty hanging zero, it is the time when the wind is in its prime, the desire to be vigorous, in recent years, living in Jinyang Palace, nothing happened, often privately lamenting that the lonely days are difficult, in vain to live up to their delicate beauty! It's just that, because they have been in the palace for a long time, they are all familiar with all kinds of unspoken rules, the forbidden palace is treacherous, the powerful and powerful are pouring into each other, and the deceit is everywhere, which is usually a place of unfathomable fortune and misfortune. To put it bluntly, if you say a word inappropriately, or if you are not careful in doing one thing, you may invite murder, and even your mother's family will inevitably be widely implicated! At first, they didn't understand Pei Lian's intentions, and were worried that he had deliberately set a trap to tempt them by following Yang Guang's or Empress Xiao's secret orders, luring them into the net. At this moment, the two of them saw that Pei Lin had repeatedly made his words clear, and his demeanor was so serious, it didn't seem to be pretending, and what the other party asked for was very much in line with their own hearts, so they couldn't help but twist and acquiesce.
