Although Manyao was prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a shock to his body, it was really him! Why did Zongzheng Wuwu appear there and just happened to save her? and so easily let Bo Chip take her back to the General's Mansion. She thought that a proud and conceited person like him, no matter whether the last thing he asked her was true or false, he would feel embarrassed because of her refusal, and he would hate her like a stranger. But when her life hung by a thread during the day, the figure he flew towards her like a god was so eager. She could also feel the palpable panic in his heaving chest as she fell into his arms, an emotion that had never belonged to him, and in the moment before she fell unconscious, she almost had the illusion that she was an indispensable part of that man's life.

For Zongzheng, she thought she had forgotten about him; She thought that when she heard his name again, she would be calm and not distressed again; She thought that his reappearance would not disturb her heart" Manyao touched her chest with her uninjured hand, tightened the clothes on her chest, closed her eyes, and the wound that had been buried in her heart was torn open again.

Ling'er felt that her face was different, so she hurriedly helped her lie down, and said worriedly: Master, don't think about it so much, rest well. She took a deep breath, calmed down, patted Ling'er's hand, and said softly, "You are also injured, go and rest." Tell Xiao Sha to come in, I have something to say to him. ”

"Oh."

When Xiao Sha entered, the only light in the room was blown out by the wind. He knelt far away, and in the darkness of the night, his back was still straight, and he didn't say a word.

Lying quietly, a kind of exhaustion from the bottom of her heart stretched out silently, and she would feel tired when she opened her eyes. I vaguely remembered that a year ago, it was also such a night, Xiao Xu once said that if she didn't want to marry, he could take her out of the mouth At that time, he let go of his life and death, and she was moved in her heart, but now, she turned her head sideways and watched the cool white moonlight hitting that resolute body in the hot summer night, and she couldn't say how lonely she felt. She spoke slowly, her voice cold and indifferent, and said, "Xiao Xu, you ...... Kneel for what. ”

Xiao Xu lowered his eyes, stared at the light gray floor tiles in front of him, closed his mouth tightly, and the pain of struggle appeared in his eyes, all buried in the darkness.

After waiting for a while, he didn't answer, so he laughed self-deprecatingly and coldly, and said lightly: "Since there is no reason, then don't kneel." You...... Get out, I'm going to rest. ”

Xiao Xu didn't get up immediately, but slowly raised his eyes, looking at the woman lying on the bed from afar, his eyes seemed to have ten thousand words but couldn't say anything, the corners of his resolute mouth twitched slightly, and finally he didn't speak.

Wandering away, looking at the quiet crescent moon outside the window, he whispered Xiao Sha, do you know? In this world, only you and Ling'er are people I have never guarded against", you said, in this world, "what else is worthy of my trust, when the sword fell into the lake, and when the body flew out, the eyes of the man in black with a mask who rushed to the edge of the cliff were often sad and painful, and the lips under half of the mask trembled with the word "master" that she did not shout, and she could see it clearly.

Xiao Xu's body was shocked, and his heart was torn open.

Manyao waved his hand at him, and said tiredly: Go. ”

The slow footsteps gradually faded away, Xiao Xu slowly walked out of the Qingjing Garden, just out of the door, only to feel a strong wind on the side of his ears, the cold light shining out, straight to the heart, he frowned, reflexively avoided Duo Mang, with his hand to set up the long moment of the person, and slapped it with a backhand, right in the chest of the person.

I only heard a loud sound, and the iron slammed to the ground mixed with a muffled snort from the man.

Xiao Xu looked at it, was stunned, and frowned, "Ling'er? What are you doing? ”

Ling Er staggered back three steps, clutched her injured chest, turned her head and glared at him fiercely, her eyes were full of anger and reproach, and she said angrily: "What else can I do? Killing you, of course. You: "You're damned!" The man in black in the mask rushed to the lake, the nervous and sad eyes with her, she may be confused, maybe playful, but she is not stupid, such a strange look, familiar breath, she vaguely aware of the identity of this person, but she is not sure, until she hid outside and heard what the master said, she was sure that the person was Xiao Xu. If it weren't for the fear that her master would be upset, she really wanted to rush directly into the house.

Xiao Xu turned his head, closed his mouth and stopped talking. The night was very quiet, the air was so hot and stuffy that even the breath was burning, and it was stuffy in the heart, making people unable to breathe.

Ling'er said again, why do you want to do these things without telling your master? Who asked you to do it? If the emperor knows that you have hurt your master, he will definitely punish you. ”

Xiao Xu sneered, looked at Ling Er's innocent eyes, and said coldly: Punishment? Hum! If you are really good for her, don't send him any more news in the future, Your Majesty", not the kind of person you see with your eyes. You think it's for her good, but sooner or later you're going to hurt her. ”

You are talking nonsense! Seeing that he not only didn't answer her question, but also said that Emperor Qiyun was not, the more angry she became: The emperor is the person who loves the master the most, he is the master's brother, and he will never harm the master.

Xiao sneered sarcastically, because he had something in his heart and didn't want to be entangled with her more, so he missed her striding away.

The next day, Emperor Lin stole the decree, and the prince of the dust wind was unwell, and the flower viewing banquet was postponed for seven days. Man Yao lay in bed for four days before he gradually got better. In the past four days, Fu Chip came back to accompany her every morning after morning, and he can be said to be meticulous to her.

Seven days later, the flower-viewing banquet was held in the northern suburbs of the capital. Yunlian Mountain Summer Palace is specially for the Emperor and his concubines, princes and princesses to spend the summer, Yunlian Mountain Zhong Yu Lingxiu, quiet and elegant. The pavilions and towers in the palace are the same, and the rockeries and strange stones are exquisitely built; The cloud bridge is bent and the water is bent, the bamboo forest is blue and the lake is quiet and picturesque. The dinner was held in the Holy Lotus Garden, in which there is a huge green pond, and the three water terraces in the center of the pond stand in a triangular shape and stand in the water, which is exquisitely natural in design and connected to each other. In April, the emerald lotus leaves of the terrace cover the entire pond, and the murky water surface is completely invisible. In June, the lotus flowers bloom together, all kinds of colors compete for beauty, and they are beautiful.

When Manyao arrived with Fu Chip, there was still more than half an hour to leave the banquet, but the Lotus Hall was already very lively. The Chinese military officials and female relatives of the hall gathered in several places, chatting very energetically, and the atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious. And the most eye-catching is those well-dressed officials and aristocratic ladies, I saw them one by one ring fat swallow thin, beautiful makeup, eyes full of expectation, occasionally coquettish laughter, with sleeves to cover their faces, as a shy, really people than flowers, pressing down the lotus color of a blue pool. Enjoying the flowers, it turns out that it is not the flowers in the pond that are appreciated, but the beauties. Man Yao remembered that Fu Chip had said that Emperor Lin had two purposes for setting up this banquet, one of which was to choose a wife for the prince of the Dusty Wind Country, and the other purpose was unknown.

Seeing that Fu Chip and Man Yao had arrived, everyone immediately greeted them with smiling faces, and the official greeted him with a few words.

Man Yao is wearing a moon-white cloud brocade robe specially prepared for Xi today, with flowing yarn and wide sleeves, which is a rare treasure at a glance. She rolled up the ink and simply pulled a mane, looking casual and natural without losing the noble atmosphere. I don't know which adult's wife hugged her enthusiastically when she saw it, and said with a smile on her face: This is the eldest princess Rongle, right? Sure enough, he was born with the beauty of the country, the country and the city, and with this dress, he looks like a fairy! No wonder the taboo of not being close to the king and being a woman has been broken by you. With you tonight, these county lords and ladies will have a chance to join in the fun. Her last sentence was deliberately muffled, but the people next to her could hear it clearly.

The body stiffened, and the lady's words of praise and disparagement sounded like praise, but in fact, it meant that she was married and restless, and the prince chose a wife, and she, a married woman, should dress herself up ordinary. She frowned slightly, and without looking at it, she knew that all the eyes of the ladies were focused on her, as if she was their biggest opponent.

This lady is really good at laughing, Rong Le is already a wife, how can she be compared with all the young ladies who are as old as flowers. Without a trace, she tore open the sleeve of the lady's tugging sleeve, and with a semblance of etiquette, she responded not salty or light, but calmed the unwarranted hostility of the crowd. Another lady stepped forward and said with a smile: "The princess's dress today is really beautiful, it's a new product from Jinyifang, right?" At first glance, you can see that it is invaluable. ”

It was prepared by the general for Rong Le, and as for where he bought it, Rong Le didn't know very well. "Faintly responded.

Look how good General Fu is to the princess! ”

Yes, yes, my family is half as good to the princess as the general, and I will wake up laughing in my dreams. ”

Hehehe"

Everyone laughed, and his body had not yet healed, and he was surrounded by everyone and hit the wound from time to time, which was very painful. She frowned slightly, she really didn't have the heart to deal with these people, and said lightly: "Ladies, talk slowly." Then he nodded politely, missed his body, and went straight to a suitable seat to sit down. The ladies were bored, pouted, ignored her, and got together again to chat and laugh.

Fu Chip and the officials were entertaining, but they couldn't take care of her. Man Yao sat alone and quietly, looking lonely and proud in this lively crowd.

The sky is getting dark, and the completely open view hall is already full of various palace lamps, and the lights are pouring down, reflecting a pool of old flowers, as if the girl who has not left the pavilion is dotted with the most beautiful makeup, which looks more delicate and beautiful.

Master, if you feel bored, go out for a walk. Ling'er proposed. Tan Tian stood up and walked to the carved railing, although the scenery outside was beautiful, but in such an atmosphere and environment, even breathing was full of boredom. Manyao nodded, and quietly went down to the Lotus Hall with Ling'er.

As soon as I came out of the Holy Lotus Garden, I felt that the air outside seemed to be much better. They walked slowly along the trail on the left, turned a rockery, and suddenly heard a sound of beating and scolding. Manyao frowned, why is it not clean anywhere, she doesn't want to be nosy, and was about to turn around and leave, but she heard a male voice scolding: Slut, what are you doing running out alone? Do you want to go to your worry-free brother? Hum! If King Liwang sees you as a slut, you won't marry me, "I tell you, since your father married you to me, you should give me a good time, if you dare to go out of the wall, see if I don't peel your skin!" After that, there was another flurry of punches and kicks.

Man Yao was stunned and immediately followed the sound. I saw a woman curled up on the ground behind the rockery, her clothes were stained with dirt, messy, and there was a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, but she sneered at the man who was punching and kicking her. The man was even more furious, and he was about to kick her in the face.

"Stop." Manyao shouted.

The man frowned and looked back, his eyes lit up at the sight of Manyao, and his saliva was dripping. lewd smiled: Yo, where did this beauty come from? Did you see that the master was lonely and came to comfort me? , this is Xiao Bu, the son of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, a scoundrel who is famous in the capital, and the husband of the county lord of Zhaoyun. With that, he leaned over and stretched out his hand to lift his chin for the sake of it.

Manyao took a step back, Ling'er strode forward, twisted his hand, and said angrily: "Who are you?" I dare to be unreasonable to my master."

The man's arm clicked, and he screamed loudly, and scolded loudly: "You are so bold, you don't ask who I am, just dare," ah...... I won't say anything, you let go of me. ”

Man Yao smiled sarcastically and said, "Ling'er, let him go." ”

Ling Er let go of his hand and threw the man to the ground. The man suddenly stood on all fours, got up, and his face turned dark, "Who the hell are you?" Master, "I care about my own woman, what's your business, what do you do to run out and stop it"

Ignoring him, he glanced at Ling'er, and Ling'er immediately went to help the county lord of Zhaoyun on the ground to get up. She looked at the woman and couldn't tell what it was like. She remembered that this woman, who was once innocent and rotten, boldly showed her love to Zongzheng Wuwu in order to stay with her beloved and ignore the world's opinions, and was willing not to be famous, but was finally rejected, left with hatred, married such a notorious man, and now she has to suffer humiliation and scolding from her husband for her former love. The reason why her husband is so arrogant must be because Yan Guogong, the father of Zhaoyun County Lord, died suddenly half a year ago, and Zhaoyun's brothers were all born to a concubine, and they didn't care about her life or death.

This is probably the biggest sorrow of women in this era, without the barrier of power, they will be discriminated against, even if they live as pigs and dogs, they will not be able to escape for a lifetime In contrast, she is really too lucky.

Manyao looked at the man, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice that beating a woman was not done by a manly husband, although Yan Guogong was gone, but the county lord of Zhaoyun also had the title of county lord personally sealed by His Majesty, and if you abuse her like this, you are despising the imperial power and being dissatisfied with Your Majesty. If it spreads, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate! ”

A trace of fear flashed in the man's eyes, and he immediately warned fiercely: "If you dare to speak out, I, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

Ling Er sneered: "Even if you say it, what if you say it" My master is the wife of the eldest princess of Qiyun Guorong, the general of the country, what can you do? ”

When the man heard this, his pupils shrank, no matter how he didn't understand the form of the DPRK and China, he also knew that the power of the general Wei Guo was far better than that of his father, who had no real power. I had to hold back the dripping dripping. water, took a sip at her, and scolded: "All the way." Then he quickly left.

"Thank you, Princess, No, Princess Rongle for coming to the rescue!" Zhaoyun's impression of Manyao is still stuck in her appearance when she was dressed as a man.

"The county lord doesn't have to be polite." Manyao helped her and handed her a silk handkerchief.

Zhaoyun took it and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and the sleeves of his shirt slid down, revealing the bruises and bruises of the new sun on his arms. Manyao shook his head and ordered: "Ling'er, you go find some wound medicine, and say I want to use it." ”

Ling'er left in response.

Zhaoyun smiled slightly, "Thank you, princess." I haven't seen him for so long, and I can't imagine that the princess still knows Zhaoyun. If the princess doesn't mind, can she accompany Zhaoyun for a walk? There's a lake over there, and there are a lot of white lotuses blooming in the lake, and I want to see it. ”

Man Yao nodded and said, "Okay." Looking at Zhaoyun, she couldn't help but sigh that life can really completely change a person. Today's Zhaoyun is no longer as simple and lively as he was at the beginning, and looks melancholy and quiet, but he is also much more mature.

"Sister Rongle, can I call you that?" Zhaoyun said expectantly.

Man Yao laughed

"Absolutely." For some reason, she felt this pity for this woman, maybe because they had all been hurt by the same man.

Walking on a secluded tree-lined path, they were all quiet. There are no lights here, and the light gray color of the sky is reflected everywhere.

Zhaoyun walked beside her, occasionally turning his head to look at her, always wanting to say something.

If the county lord has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it. Manyao's face softened, and he smiled lightly.

Zhaoyun said: "Sister Rongle just calls me Zhaoyun." ”

"Okay." If Zhaoyun has anything to say, just say it. ”

Zhaoyun lowered his head, his eyes were gloomy, he bit his lip, and said, "Sister Rongle, he," is back, you know? ”

Man Yao was slightly stunned, and naturally knew who she was referring to. She lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and didn't say a word.

Zhaoyun laughed at himself and said, "Sister, you must be thinking, why can't I forget him when he treats me so much?" It's been a year, and a lot of words are held in her heart, and she has nowhere to sue.

Man Yao took a deep breath and sighed: "It's not easy to forget someone". She understands this very well.

"yes, it's hard. Sister Rongle, in the past year, you, "Have you been blessed?" ”

Manyao's body stiffened slightly, his steps stagnated, and then he nodded almost invisibly, and said softly, which was an answer.

Zhaoyun turned his head to look at the man's eyes, with a desolate smile but a clear look. In fact, if you are happy or not, why ask. The last time I saw her in my memory was in that beautiful tea plantation, at that time, she was still dressed as a man, her eyes were as clear and dazzling as glass, and now she was empty and silent. She paused, looked at Manyao, and said, "Sister, actually, I really envy you. When I didn't know you were a woman, how I wished I was a man too, so that I could stay by his side like you. But later I learned that it was not a question of male and female identity, and it is undeniable that I was really jealous of you at that time, and even hated you. ”

Manyao also stopped, and during those days, "she would rather not have those days, so that she would not have so much bitterness in her heart." She smiled coldly, collected her thoughts, turned around and said lightly: "I don't hate it now."

Zhaoyun shook his head and laughed at himself: He doesn't like me, what's the use of me hating you? ”

She thought it through, for example. Man Yao smiled faintly and didn't speak again, it didn't matter to her whether she hated it or not

The two of them walked on the stone path, and while talking, they entered a garden, which was not too big, but it was what Manyao liked. I saw a blue lake in the garden reflecting the verdant willows on the shore, the breeze blows, the willow branches and leaves hanging on the water surface sway gently, and a circle of ripples will ripple out, as if the waves of the calm heart lake rise occasionally.

The white lotus in the lake is in full bloom, and against the backdrop of the clear water of a lake, the holy and elegant posture is like a fairy. A small boat on the lake, docked quietly, with no view of the cabin.

Zhaoyun's gaze looked at the blooming white lotuses fixedly, with a sad expression, and asked, "Sister Rong Le, do you know what is the reason why His Majesty ordered all officials to bring their daughters to participate in tonight's flower-viewing banquet?" ”

Manxiao said casually: "I heard that it is for the prince of the dusty country. ”

And that's just one of them. Zhaoyun paused again, turned around and looked straight at Manyao, and said slowly: "There is another reason to choose a concubine for Brother Wuwu. ”

Manyao's heart was shocked, and he remembered what Bo Chip said halfway through and then stopped, so that's it! Is he finally going to choose a concubine? She felt a tingling pain in her chest. The dark clouds seemed to press down on the horizon, making her a little breathless.

Zhaoyun reached out to shake her hand, only to feel that her fingertips were cold. "Sister Rong Le hasn't forgotten Brother Wuwu, hasn't she? No matter how well General Fu treats you, how can you be happy if you don't like him? ”

Man Yao suddenly felt that when did Zhaoyun's eyes start to become so sharp? Was it because she was right on her mind? Manyao habitually pursed his lips and pressed all his emotions into his heart, regardless of whether he would press out a big hole. She turned her head slightly, withdrew her hand, and said lightly: "You are wrong, I am very happy." Forgetting one person and falling in love with another person is actually not that difficult. "She's not used to exposing her wounds to other people's eyes. But if it's really simple, why does she find it difficult to even say such a sentence?

As her words fell, there seemed to be a muffled sound that came out of nowhere, very light and very dull, not like what the ears heard, more like a feeling of the heart. She thought it was a delusion.

Zhaoyun was stunned, probably not expecting her to answer like this. She smiled and said: This kind of thing, it is easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive yourself. ”

Manyao tightened his hands, "I'll go back first, and then it's too late," the general is afraid that he will come out to look for me. She turned around and left, and Zhaoyun shouted: Sister Rongle, do you really bear that he will not be happy for the rest of his life,

Manyao's heart was another stab, she turned her back to Zhaoyun, raised her chin slightly, and said that he was unhappy or not, it was not something I could control. Moreover, isn't he going to choose a concubine? ”

He couldn't pick what he wanted. "Zhaoyun took two steps after him and grabbed her arm, 'I don't know what kind of entanglement there is between you, but I know that he rejected me and hurt me because he didn't love me, and he hurt you by saying that kind of thing at your wedding, precisely because he fell in love with you."

Zongzheng is in love with her? She didn't know, and it didn't make sense to dig deeper now. Manyao only looked at Zhaoyun and asked, Don't you hate him? ”

Zhaoyun let go of her hand and took two steps back, tears coming to her eyes in a moment. She shaped the direction of the lake, and her voice was desolate with complaints, "I hate him, I hate him for not wanting to give me happiness, and I hate him even more for making him unhappy!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhaoyun's feelings for Zongzheng Wuwu were so deep and deep, and he sighed casually: "Zhaoyun, forget him, he is a heartless and ruthless person." No matter how much you do for him, he won't appreciate it. ”

You're wrong! Sister Rongle, you are really wrong. Zhaoyun shook his head vigorously, and his tears were like beads with broken threads, falling big and big. Manyao's heart was shocked, when the man punched and kicked her just now, he didn't see any traces of her crying, and at this moment, because she said that Zongzheng was carefree and ruthless, she was so sad.

Zhaoyun said: "Brother Wuwu was not like this before! My mother and Brother Wuwu's mother is a very good sister, my father hates me because my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me, and often doesn't give me food, Aunt Yun heard about it, she felt sorry for me, so she took me to the palace to raise my brother, Yun Prostitute's health is not good, Wuwu is very filial to my aunt, and I am very good to me. Until I was four years old, I don't know what the reason was, Aunt Yun, Aunt she suddenly threw us away, "Brother Wuwu locked himself in the underground stone room where you went last time for several days, and almost died" Since then, his temperament has changed greatly, and I have never seen him really care about anyone or anything" "She sniffed, wiped her tears, and the more she said, the more excited she became, and said: "But, sister, you are different, he is for you", making a big fuss about the wedding, for you... After leaving the capital for more than a year, he has never stopped visiting Jieniang for more than three months".

Zhaoyun choked up and couldn't go on, Manyao heard from her intermittent words that the death of Zongzheng's worry-free mother had dealt a big blow to him, since her health has not been good, then a normal death should not have such a big impact, could it be that Yun Guifei's death is really as rumored to be different? Somasa's hatred of the Emperor has something to do with this, right? I don't know what kind of pain can make a child of a few years old prefer to lock himself in such a dark stone room than come out to meet others? Thinking of those three days, Zongzheng was so quiet that it seemed that there was no such person, and there was a trace of pain in his heart, this consciousness shocked Manyao's heart, and she even felt sorry for him, "This shouldn't be the emotion she should have!" The more chaotic she became, the more she didn't know how to comfort Zhaoyun.

After a while, Zhaoyun's mood slowly stabilized, she stepped forward and grabbed Manyao's arm tightly, and looked at her with a pair of tearful eyes pleading, "Sister Rongle, I want him to be happy, I want him to be happy!" Only you can give. ”

Faced with such an infatuated woman, Manyao didn't know what to say. In front of Zhaoyun, her former feelings seemed to have become very small. Is she too selfish after all? She wants to protect herself too much, so whenever she is hurt, she wants to hide her heart. Is there something wrong with that? She just didn't want to get hurt more. Pulling down Zhaoyun's hand, he sighed helplessly. Now, they have come to this point, they can't go back, they can't go back, what's the use of thinking about it? The bitterness in my heart is like a poisonous vine, once touched, it spreads endlessly. She drooped her eyelids, covering the emptiness in her eyes.

Zhaoyun saw that her face seemed to be indifferent, her eyes were full of resentment, she stepped back unsteadily, smiled sadly, and muttered in a low voice: I understand, you don't love him, what's the use of me begging you, you haven't really loved him at all! ”

Manyu's body shook, and his tightly pursed lips turned pale. Didn't she love? If you haven't loved it, why is it so heartbroken? She would rather she hadn't loved herself. Turning around, he didn't want to look at Zhaoyun's disappointed and resentful expression anymore

Zhaoyun looked at the woman's back, shook his head incessantly, kept retreating, kept retreating, bang, at the corner of the garden gate, a scream came: "Which slave who is not long-eyed, dares to hit the palace?" Are you tired of "ah, my South Sea pearls"

When he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman about twenty years old who was gorgeously dressed and supported by the palace maid, with an angry face and phoenix eyes. Scattered beneath her feet were pearls of translucent color and round grains.

Mother, are you alright? The palace maid hurriedly asked.

Smack, the woman shook her hand at the palace maid who asked and slapped her, do you think the palace looks like it's okay? This South Sea pearl was given to this palace by His Majesty only yesterday. ”

The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, and half of her face was already high and swollen. The woman looked at Zhaoyun who was stunned angrily, and saw that she was tear-stained, scattered, and her clothes were torn in a few places, and the whole person looked embarrassed, thinking that it was a slave in the palace, she raised her hand and slapped it down, startled, flew over, grabbed the woman's hand, and said lightly, "Niangniang, please calm your anger." "It's not wise to provoke concubines, she has never liked to meddle in things, but such a Zhaoyun is always unbearable to watch.

The woman was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at Manyao, and a layer of hostility instantly appeared in her eyes, which was the natural reaction of a beautiful woman when she saw a woman who was more beautiful than her. Who are you" Dare to stop this slave from being taught by this palace! The palace maid behind the woman immediately scolded loudly: 'Bold! Don't let go of Concubine Lian's hand yet.

It turns out that she has been spoiling the harem for half a year? Brutal concubine! Man Yao looked at her face carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned, this concubine's face was a little similar to Zongzheng Wuwu! I heard that Zongzheng is carefree like his mother, and it seems that this concubine is just a stand-in. Manyao let go of her hand, gave a slight salute, and said: The courtier Rongle has seen Concubine Lian. It is really a last resort, please forgive the mother. The slave and maid mentioned by Niangniang are not slaves, but the lord of Zhaoyun. ”

She is the lord of Zhaoyun County, "This palace still thinks she is a wild girl who has no appearance in the palace!" Who do you say you are? Rong Le? Concubine Lian suddenly frowned, her eyes narrowed, "You are General Bo's wife, the eldest princess of Rongle of Qiyun Kingdom?" ”

Be......

Concubine Lian's eyes flashed ruthlessly, a few days ago, her younger brother was beaten by her guards, and General Fu's apology was only a few innocuous words, but her younger brother lay on the bed for nearly half a month, she was angry in her heart, and there has been no place to exit Since entering the palace, His Majesty has been very fond of her, and has always followed her in everything, but this is the only thing, His Majesty said that since General Fu personally apologized, forget it in the past. But she just couldn't get over it in her heart.

Concubine Lian trapped her and took a few steps, held her head high, and said in a manly voice, "Even if she is the lord of Zhaoyun County, she collided with the palace and destroyed the things given by His Majesty, as an elder, she should teach her to teach Mao."

Man Yao frowned, and said calmly: "I think Zhaoyun didn't mean to bump into Niangniang, there are a lot of Niangniang, for the sake of her being a junior, it is not too much to forgive her once." As for this South China Sea pearl, "Coincidentally, the courtiers also have a string, and tomorrow, the courtiers will ask someone to send them to the palace to the mother." ”

Concubine Lian smiled and said A string of pearls is not in the palace's eyes, what the palace cares about is His Majesty's affection, do you understand. Since you defend her so much, you will pick up the pearls on the ground one by one for this palace, and pick them all up, and this palace will not pursue this matter today. If you can't pick it up, it's not just her, even your crime of risking the palace will be treated together. Remember, it's one hundred and nine.

Nanhai Zhenshu necklaces are usually composed of one hundred and eight, and Concubine Lian deliberately said one more, so that they could pick up the world even if they were willing to pick it up. Man Yao naturally knew that Concubine Lian was deliberately embarrassing them, but she hated her for beating her brother, and now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let it go easily. She smiled faintly and said: Niangniang forgives the sin, it's not that the courtiers don't want to pick it up, it's just that it's getting late, and the dinner will start in a while. ”

This Hongu can't control it. "Even the concubine is used to being arrogant, thinking that with His Majesty's favor for her, this little thing is nothing. I didn't take the words to heart.

Master, master, where are you, Xiao, Ling'er found someone to get the medicine, and then returned to the rockery and saw no one, thinking that something was wrong, so she was so anxious to call her.

Man Yao smiled helplessly and sighed. Since Concubine Lian insisted on this, Rong Le had no choice. With that, she called Ling'er, but the voice was not loud, but it spread far away. Ling'er came in response, took the medicine in her hand, and instructed you to go back and tell the general that I will tie up Concubine Lian's pearls and then go to the dinner, so that he doesn't have to come out to look for me. ”

Ling Er was stunned, glared and said, "What, master, you want to pick up pearls for others?" How's that going to work?

Manyao glanced at her, and said in an irrefutable tone: "Go quickly, lest the general not see me for a long time, and I should be worried." ”

Ling'er reluctantly left.

Zhaoyun felt that she caused the matter, and she couldn't help it, so she said: "Sister Rongle, I broke this chain, I'll come to the juniper." As he spoke, he wanted to squat down to pick it up, but he was pulled by Manyao

Concubine Lian said: "Both of you have to pick it up." ”

Man Yao smiled and said that it was natural. It's just that it's very dark now, and I can't see clearly, so I can't help but accidentally step on this precious South China Sea pearl, and it's better to wait for Ling'er to bring the lamp before bolting. ”

Night had fallen, and the moon was just showing its head. Not far away, in the cabin on the shore of the lake, the Nine Emperor Princes couldn't bear to come out to help several times, but they were stopped by Zongzheng Wuwu.

The Nine Emperors were puzzled, twisted their eyebrows and asked in a low voice, Brother Seven, I don't understand, even if you can't bear to see Zhaoyun being bullied, how can you bear to see Liyue being bullied by that arrogant and lame woman? I see, you were by what Liyue just said, weren't you? ”

Zong Zheng leaned on his body, the silk like ink hung down on the ship's board, and the tip was stained with the overturned tea leaves, and a drop of bright red on the tea leaves was like a drop of blood in people's hearts. His eyes were down, as dark as a pool, as dark as the sky outside, dim. She said that it is not so difficult to forget one person and fall in love with another person, this sentence fell on his heart, every word was like a hammer, and the pain was boundless.

He moved his somewhat stiff body, his gaze slowly moved upward, and through the narrow gap in the window, he looked at the blurred figure at the entrance of the garden, "To deal with that kind of stupid woman, why does she need help from others!" "She's not a person who likes to take favors, especially for him.

The Nine Emperor Princes nodded, and he knew that Seventh Brother would not deliberately let her be bullied and left alone, it turned out that he knew that she could deal with that woman. He just looked at the woman who was not pleasing to the eye, with a face that was five points similar to the seventh brother, rampant in the palace, arrogant, and arrogant, and he became angry when he looked at it. Seventh brother, Zhaoyun is really good to you, and I have nothing to say. I heard that the kid surnamed Xiao treated her very badly, either beating or scolding, which is really good. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Yan Guogong is dead, but that kid doesn't want to think about it, who brought Zhaoyun up since he was a child? ”

Zong Zheng glanced at him without worry, his eyes were as cold as the lake at night, and he said lazily: If you want to help her, you can just say it, and beat around the bush. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes were exposed on the spot, hehe smiled, raised his eyebrows and said with his usual dead skin and cheeky face, "I'm thinking about you for the sake of Seventh Brother."

Zongzheng no longer looks at him, Zhaoyun is right, this concubine selection banquet, he can't choose the person he wants. This is the condition he made when he left the capital to go to the fiefdom a year ago, and a year later, he returned to Beijing to choose a concubine and let him arrange it. He thought that a year was enough time to forget a person.

At that time, he was disheartened.

There are thousands of red faces and white pains
