Yuxiu Palace is adjacent to Taiye Pond in the south, and the east and west are sandwiched between the Zilan Hall and the Hanliang Palace, and it is a small courtyard within the harem range of the north of the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace. Jing Xuan moved into the Daming Palace, because of the unique scenery around the photo, he took the initiative to ask the emperor to come as his residence.

Since the emperor's ascension to the pole, it has been rumored in the palace and outside the palace that she and Wanrong are about to be concubines. According to the practice of the previous dynasty, the Yaohua Palace where Dugu Wanrong lived was the palace room where the concubine lived, while the Yuxiu Palace had only lived in Zhaoyi, Xiurong and other second-grade concubines. Therefore, the palace people and eunuchs discussed in private, and they all thought that Wanrong's title status should be above Jing Xuan.

Jing Xuan occasionally heard about these discussions, but he didn't take them to heart.

In the past two years, the prince has been guarding Tongzhou in order to avoid trouble, and he is not allowed to return to Beijing without following the order, she and Wanrong are guarding a huge East Palace, and they have nothing to do, and often gather in one place to play chess, enjoy flowers, taste tea, and chat. The old mustard between the two has long disappeared with the passage of time, and their common fate makes them have to join hands again and face the ups and downs of life together.

Perhaps since he was a girl, he often went in and out of the marshal's camp and acted as Liu Yi's guard, after a few years of hearing and seeing, Jing Xuan's heart not only respected Liu Yi as a teacher, but also had a secret feeling, and he had a heart of admiration for this contemporary genius who strategized and won thousands of miles with his cloth body.

Although she knew that Liu Yi had already married a wife and had children, she would never have any emotional results with him, but invisibly, Liu Yi had become her standard for choosing a husband in her mind.

After marrying into the East Palace, she and the prince got together less and separated more, and they couldn't talk about getting to know each other, but they really felt that the prince and Liu Yi were two completely different types of people.

Liu Yi is like a bright moon in the dark night, looking at it makes people feel warm, but the prince is like a thick cloud covering the bright moon, making people can't guess what is contained in it.

is also elegant on the outside and resolute on the inside, Liu Yi always exudes a tranquil pastoral atmosphere, giving people a sense of tranquility and nature, while the prince always seems to be trying his best to suppress the desires in his heart, others know his true thoughts in his heart, but they can never predict his actual actions in advance.

In Jing Xuan's view, the most important difference between the two is: Liu Yi always appears when others need it most, is anxious for what people are anxious about, and helps the world and the country, not only has the demeanor of the loyalty of the ancient sages, but also has the chivalrous enthusiasm of the people in the rivers and lakes; And if the crown prince is single-minded and wise, he is not much inferior to Liu Yi, but at every critical juncture, the first thing he thinks of is how to protect himself, as for the safety of the court situation, as small as the life and death of others, in the eyes of him, the prince, it seems that it is not so important.

Because of this, since Jing Xuan married into the East Palace, he has always shown a faint attitude in the love between men and women, and the prince sometimes doesn't want to go, from Ning Xiangxuan to Qixia Pavilion to accompany her, she often finds various reasons to persuade the prince to return to Ning Xiangxuan or go to Qihuatai to spend the night.

It wasn't until soon after Xue Qing was born that the prince avoided trouble and went to Tongzhou, and gradually, Jing Xuan unconsciously felt at home in the East Palace, and gradually developed some feelings of concern and attachment to the prince, her husband who was not satisfactory to her.

Now that the crown prince has become the emperor, she and Wanrong have also moved from the East Palace to the Daming Palace. Everything is very different from before, but she doesn't really understand what kind of impact this will have on her future life, and naturally she doesn't understand what the so-called palace and title that the palace eunuchs whisper and talk about mean to her.

She is only worried that the sense of belonging and attachment that she has just generated in her heart will flow away quietly with the change of environment and status like the water in Taiye Pond.

Near noon, the emperor did not arrive, but Wanrong arrived first with a group of eunuchs and servants. Mama Xia really has the technique of giving birth, and soon after the prince went out of Tongzhou, Wanrong gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses. After hearing the news, the old emperor was so happy that he personally gave the name to this pair of grandchildren despite Empress Zhang's obstruction: the male baby is called Jixiang, and the female baby is called Ruyi.

Because of the auspiciousness and wishful birth when the disaster of the East Palace was not completely eliminated, since the two babies fell to the ground, Wanrong was extra careful and never allowed anyone other than Ning Xiangxuan to approach the baby. At the same time, it also relied on Xie Liangchen's advantageous position in the inner fang, out of kindness, secretly cared for Wanrong, and finally ensured that the two children grew up safely to two years old.

Now after moving into the Daming Palace, Wanrong heard from somewhere that most of the palace people and eunuchs in the Daming Palace were the eyeliners, eyes and ears installed by Queen Zhang during her lifetime. Therefore, she was even more careful than when she was in the East Palace, wherever she went, it turned out that Ning Xiangxuan was waiting for a person who was waiting for the two children and followed them, and she couldn't leave her eyes for a moment.

Jing Xuan welcomed Wanrong into the main hall and sat down, and before she could speak, Wanrong frowned and asked, "Sister, how can I see that there are so many palace people in the courtyard?" ”

Jing Xuan understood what she meant by asking, and replied with a little apology: "My sister came back to Yuxiu Palace for the first time, I don't know, I am not as good as my sister here, except for Jinping and Zhu Shuang'er, most of them are old people in this palace. If my sister can't rest assured, she might as well sit down for a while, and then the emperor will come up, and I told him, let's move to Yaohua Palace. ”

Wanrong glared at Jing Xuan in surprise and exclaimed, "Sister, you are also bold!" Xueqing lives here, aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of your unpreparedness and steal her? Early this morning, I also asked Gonggong Xie that the emperor was also troubled by this matter. At this time, it may be that the matter is being discussed with the ministers. You must know that there is so unrest in the Daming Palace, and you have to move in a few months later to feel more at ease. ”

Jing Xuan smiled disapprerovingly: "It's not my sister who said you, my sister dared to be bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years." Everyone is afraid of death, and now that the people who planted these eyeliners are gone, leaving some stragglers, what else can they do? Now I'm afraid that everyone is looking forward to being released from the palace one day sooner, so that they can save their lives first. Where can it be as dangerous as you say! ”

Wanrong was unconvinced, but she couldn't find a reason to refute Jing Xuan for a while, so she picked up a bowl of tea and drank it under disguise, but when the tea came to her mouth, she was afraid that the tea would be poisonous, so she had to put it down casually and said to Jing Xuan in a curtive manner: "My sister is not as bold as my sister, so it's better to be careful." ”
