Chapter 2 Advance and retreat are all in the palm of your hand

Tianzi is not too much at all. Scarlet Xin was sitting on the big chair in the main hall of the Hui Palace, looking at the woman sitting in the lower row with her eyebrows lowered, but she couldn't hide her eyes, and sighed secretly, this is Lin Xueqing, who has just been sealed. Today, she went to the palaces to greet her as usual, and at this time she just sat in the corner of the chair, half sideways towards the scarlet heart. Dressed in a palace costume with light green butterfly wings, his hands folded in a regular manner, and his slender fingers, the long nails painted with bright red Kodan are particularly eye-catching. Xue Qing combed the flower palace bun, and each side had a silk palace flower, without cumbersome hairpin ornaments, but it was even more bright. The skin is like snow, the long eyelashes are like a fan, it can't cover the aura between the eyes, the pretty pink lips are slightly raised, and there is a shallow smile on the cheeks, full of beauty!

"Xue Qing has just arrived, and in the wrong place, I hope that Sister Guifei will mention more." After the previous politeness, Scarlet Heart retreated from everyone, and Xue Qing slowly spoke. The voice was slightly raised, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, and the crisp linlang sound: "Xue Qing can enter the palace this time, thanks to my sister's support." My father let Xue Qing convey his gratitude to Sister Guifei! ”

"In this harem, there are many sisters, serving the king together, and they are all a family." Scarlet smiled lightly, "My sister only has to do her best, our sisters are harmonious, and the harem is peaceful, which is a fortunate thing." Thank you! ”

Xue Qingyan smiled, her cheeks already flying pink: "Sister Guifei's teachings, my sister has written them down." "After all, it is still the first time to enter the palace, and it used to be the treasure of the parents at home, but at this time, it is difficult to detain the form for too long, and for a while, I have the courage to raise my eyes and look at the scarlet heart. The sparkling eyes are shining, and they are a pair of bright eyes that can speak! She looked at the scarlet heart, and did not hide the envy on her face: "Sister Guifei is gorgeous and noble, and Xue Qing admires her at home." Xue Qing has been alone since she was a child, and she has never had sisters, so she is so happy at this time! ”

Scarlet looked at her with a smile, sixteen years old, but only three years younger than her. But Scarlet suddenly felt as if she was much older than her. Her eyes are as moving as a deer, and she doesn't hide her true temperament when she speaks. I want to be at home, and I am also the pet of my father and mother, and I am protected by thousands of people. The etiquette rules are not bad at all, and there is more youthful vitality of young girls, so it's strange that the emperor doesn't like it!

Scarlet walked slowly along the lakeside of the Imperial Garden, without anyone with her. The days in the palace are slow when you say it's slow, and it's fast when you say it's fast. After the daily routine of morning and dusk, and after dealing with some trivial matters in the palace, it is idle to talk or have a banquet with the palace concubines. It can't be too sparse, it can't be too close, everything has to be done just right. The Queen Mother's attitude towards Scarlet Heart has become more and more cordial recently, mainly because of the popularity of Wan Concubine.

Originally, the emperor went to Mrs. Ninghua's Qiyan Palace twice a month, and came to her Qihui Palace once, but the other palaces were irregular. Basically, they were the only ones who couldn't move. Later, Mrs. Ninghua became pregnant, and the emperor also went to her twice, but not to let her sleep, just to sit gossip, and often accompanied Mrs. Ninghua to the garden for a walk. The emperor has not come out since his wedding, and this time Mrs. Ninghua is pregnant, and the queen mother and the emperor are very happy. If he gets a man, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and Mrs. Ninghua's mother can be expected to be noble day and night. Even if she gives birth to a daughter, she is also the eldest daughter of the emperor, and as a mother, it is not a problem to be crowned a princess of Duanyuan in the future.

However, this momentum came to an abrupt end due to the arrival of the concubine, and the emperor summoned the concubine to sleep for three days. And I heard that Wan Concubine often goes in and out of the emperor's Qiyuan Palace, and the two stay and travel together, just like a folk couple. For this reason, the Queen Mother called Concubine Wan to Shouchun Palace to reprimand her, and the aggrieved little girl had red circles in her eyes at that time. The emperor was even more heartbroken when he saw it, and he rewarded him again and again, comforting him in every way, so that in the harem, there were discussions everywhere, and there were concubines everywhere.

In fact, Scarlet Heart thinks that although the girl Wan Concubine has been cultivated by her parents since she was a child, she is really a woman with a more solid heart. She regards the emperor as her husband wholeheartedly, likes to be close to him, and is a child. No wonder Lin Zhonglang bought her face so much, it was really because he knew his daughter too well. Entering the palace is only the first step, and how to last is the key. Therefore, finding a backer for her daughter is an important thing for Dingding. The Queen Mother can't count on it, and it's good not to stumble secretly, and at this time, he can't ask for the olive branch stretched out by the scarlet heart.

Scarlet also knows that if it goes on like this, the harem will definitely have trouble. But which one is favored and which one is not favored is really something she can't control. She didn't have to take risks for this, what she pursued in the palace was that as long as it didn't endanger her position, she wouldn't take the initiative to commit crimes. Concubine Wan was certainly favored at this time, but Mrs. Ninghua was the same at the beginning. This kind of momentum is also normal, and there is no need to plan too early at the moment, just grasp the situation and wait and see what happens.

So, she's having an extra comfortable time these days. Although the third day of the new month is still her nightmare, but aside from that, other things are considered to be smooth. Huihui Palace is her comfort nest, and now except for the third year of junior high school, the emperor does not come to her door at all. The decorations in the palace, except for the wardrobe, must be made according to the preferences of Concubine Hui before, including her own clothes. But on weekdays, she can research some new incense to add to the atmosphere of the room.

She didn't dare to do these things before, because she didn't know when the emperor would suddenly appear, but in the past year or so, there has been a rule, except for the third day of junior high school, she will order Lan Fen, which Concubine Hui likes, and she will make some spices by herself on weekdays. She likes to pick the flowers herself, then sieve them layer by layer, transpirate, dry, season them again, filter the beads, and finally grind them into fine powder. She supervises the tedious work herself, sometimes entirely herself. Anyway, she has a lot of time, and it's also an excellent pastime to pass the time.

At this time, it is a strong spring, and the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, such as peonies, Ruixiang, begonias, cherry blossoms, and smiles. The branches and leaves are blooming, the flowers are clustered, and many rare varieties are moved and cultivated here, which is particularly colorful. Scarlet Heart carried a small lotus basket in her hand, looked at these petals carefully, and picked the plump ones.

Today, the sun was shining brightly, and the sky was blue without a trace of clouds. For the convenience of visiting the garden, she did not dress up, but wore a purple-blue cardigan skirt lined with a white silver-edged cloud brocade shirt. The robe skirt has two long gauze bands on the waist and under the chest, which are tied with a bow, which is very elegant. She didn't have a very complicated high bun on her head, but just combed a simple fallen horse bun, and then a chrysanthemum hairpin with eight treasures and jade flowers.

While enjoying the scenery in the garden, she picked flowers, and suddenly a burst of laughter came from the middle of the lake. The scarlet heart spreads its eyes to the center of the lake through a begonia flower. This lake is like a teardrop, it is very exquisite, the two sides of the lake are set up with a small building on the mountain, a pumice rock through the platform is set up from the lake, the stone base is hidden in the bottom of the water, the stone platform is half exposed on the water surface, to the center is a few steps of small steps, and then there is a small pavilion of the exquisite water piercing table. The bottom of the pavilion almost floats on the surface of the water, and the railings on the four sides are enclosed in the shape of a diamond, and the empty edges on both sides can sit by the water, which is very elegant.

At this time, the green yarn on the pavilion had been raised, and the sunlight shone out the two people leaning on the pavilion. In the distance, under the shade of the flowers by the lake, there are several shadowy eunuchs and palace maids. I think they were afraid of disturbing the peace of the two, so they just waited from afar.

Concubine Wan was dressed in a pink gauze dress with three layers of butterfly sleeves, like a pink butterfly. She combed a double-ring hanging cloud bun, which made her little face very bright, and the person standing next to her was Emperor Chu Yunxi.

He wore a white shirt lined with a silver base dragon, no crown, and black hair like paint. He was exceptionally tall and slender, and his white clothes and silver threads stood out in the sun. At this time, he bent down slightly, propped up on a table, which was covered with rice paper. He was holding a pen in one hand, as if he was painting, while Wan Concubine was rolling up her sleeves with one hand to help him study ink. The red sleeves add fragrance, so harmonious. He raised his eyes from time to time to look at the scenery, his face was extraordinarily soft, and there was no cold color under his eyes, but it was an elegant and comfortable soft light. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the little smile softened his facial features even better, so that the streamlines of his body were like masterpieces.

Concubine Wan studied the ink for him, and then took his left arm and leaned on him to watch him paint. From time to time, her fingers teased his runny braids, wrapping them around their fingertips. She looked at him with admiration on her face, and suddenly straightened up slightly, pulling at the strands of her hair and tangling it with his.

"Qing'er doesn't study ink honestly, what are you doing?" He let out a small chuckle in his throat and glanced slightly at Wan Concubine fiddling with his hair.

"Married as husband and wife, love is unswerving." She lowered her eyes, her face was peachy, and she smiled, "Husband, we are like this, just knotted hair." ”

Husband! Scarlet felt a bump in her chest, and these two words wanted her to throw the flower basket on the ground. Call the Holy One a husband! This Lin Xue is really so bold. If the emperor wasn't here, she would really rush over to cover that girl's mouth. Is this girl really a folk here? If this reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, isn't it just a reason for her to pinch her up!

However, this picture is really harmonious, these two people are really a good match, and this scenery is really gorgeous, gorgeous, so gorgeous that she can't help but feel envious. Envy! She was taken aback by her own thoughts, she knew the truth of not speaking, listening, and seeing incivility since she was a child. This should obviously be considered an indecent scene by her, but she is actually envious at this time?

When I was a child, there was a drama class at home, and the sisters all secretly went to see it, but she didn't go, she thought that the scene was full of ugliness and ugliness, where was the daughter's family to see. For this reason, the eldest lady also praised her for keeping her manners, and said that the three girls are promising, and she has always been proud. She scolded herself fiercely in her heart, but she couldn't open her eyes and kept looking at the center of the lake. Because he was smiling again, his smile was now full of warmth and doting. It was only with this smile that she could dilute the intense fear he felt every time he saw her.

This favored and unfavored is different, Wan Concubine calls him husband, fiddling with his hair, he can return her smile. As for Scarlet Heart, she is dedicated to the harem, serving the Queen Mother, and abiding by the rules, but he only reciprocates her cold eyes. But it doesn't matter, that's what she's always learned, whether it's like a guest or a "bing", anyway, as long as the harem is fine, she can enjoy her wealth and wealth, and her family can get rid of their lowness for this, which is the best thing for her. Her goal is to become a figure like Concubine Zeng, and future generations will write a biography for her and praise her virtuous lady.

She was about to turn around and leave, when she suddenly felt a chill in the back of her head. This strange feeling seemed to be being targeted, she was startled, instinctively shrunk her neck, and secretly looked at the center of the lake again, the emperor was still painting, and the concubine was still laughing. She shuddered and laughed at her own heart.

In the palace for three years, I really thought more and more. This day is calm, and outsiders look at it as usual, but which day doesn't you have to be cautious? She still thinks about when to find an opportunity to persuade Wan Concubine, too much limelight will always attract jealousy, she is not worried that Wan Concubine will cross her head one day. It's just that she doesn't want anything to happen and make her feel uncomfortable.

She has been out for a long time, and she is estimated to be worried about coming out to find Xiu Ling after touching it for a while. She saw that the flower basket was almost full, lifted her skirt and took two steps back, and then went to Peony Tin. On the east side of the garden, there is also a rockery with a view, and the peony is also planted on the mountain. At this time, it is thick red and pink, and it is colorful. She walked along the flower path, and the skirt was still too long, and it was very inconvenient to walk. She was fiddling with the corners of her skirt with her head down, when she suddenly heard a soft cough behind her, which made her whole body stiffen in an instant!

Before she could turn around, a hand was already on her shoulder. Her hands were warm, but she immediately began to tremble, her heart was cold, and she was covered in a cold sweat.

Yunxi lowered her head and pressed it against her earlobe. The breath he exhaled was cold to her, and his voice was so cold that she couldn't stop shivering: "The concubine is so interested, come to pick flowers?" ”

Her fingers clenched involuntarily, and she grunted twice in her throat. Suddenly her whole body was numb, and he was biting her earlobe!

"Are you here to pick flowers, or are you here to look for ballast?" His hand went down her left shoulder to her right, and he grabbed her in one fell swoop, "Or do you miss me?" ”

His breath gave her a strong premonition, which was usually very accurate. Sure enough, he didn't wait for her to answer and dragged her to the flowers in the shade on the side of the rockery. She felt her brain pounding, and it was not only daytime, but also in the garden! He was afraid that she would tell the Queen Mother that he would humiliate her like this. In the past, she could do anything, after all, she was in the Hui Palace, but at this time, if people knew about it, she was the cheapest one in the harem.

She struggled suddenly, he didn't expect her to dare to struggle, he was a little stunned for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she had already taken out of her arms, and urgently turned around and knelt in the sea of flowers.

The shade of nearly half a person's height almost submerged her, and the flowers swayed around her body, reflecting her fluttering hair. Her cheeks were red, she was panting, and before he could speak, she had already made an urgent statement: "Your Majesty, the concubines didn't hear anything, they didn't see anything." The concubine is just, just ......" She didn't think much about it at this time, and only hoped that he could take care of her operation a little bit and let her live. She was fully armed only with the former Concubine Hui, and her eyebrows and eyes were all sufficient, hoping to evoke his attachment to Concubine Hui. Don't treat a person like this, who is so similar to Concubine Hui.

But she was wrong, and he didn't wait for her to finish the story, and pushed her to the ground. The sea of flowers covered their bodies, but the sound of cracking silk made her clench her fists involuntarily. The basket of flowers toppled over among the flowers, and the petals flew up in response to their movements, fluttering all over her face.

Today is not the third year of junior high school at all! She will never come to the former imperial garden again, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, she will never come again! She clenched her teeth, didn't say a word, and let him move. Excessive struggle only made him more cruel, and every time she thought that it would be nice to have a child this time, and then she desperately thought that he would still laugh. She clenched her fists tightly, forgetting that she had accidentally grabbed a handful of dirt because of a sudden fall, and a small pebble pierced sharply into her palm. In fact, she couldn't feel the pain at all, and her hands were nothing compared to the pain in her body.

He slowly stood up, and this time he didn't even take off his clothes. He looked at the petals on her fluttering eyelashes, which were the begonias she had just picked, her sideburns were scattered, and there were a lot of flowers and flowers in her hair, but in the chaos, her blushing face brought out a bright smoke-dyed color. Her eyes were dark at this time, and she couldn't see a single light, but there was not a single tear. Her lips swelled with a striking red, and the red marks on her snow-white skin swayed with a charming charm. He was about to kiss her lips again, when suddenly a footstep made him look up slightly. A group of figures in the far flower path are walking this way, led by the Queen Mother Ruan Xinghua!

He looked back at her, and now she heard it too, her pupils narrowed suddenly, and her face began to panic, and now it was completely alive compared to the lifeless one she had just looked.

"The Emperor...... Emperor. Her frantic heartbeat was worse than before, her face was desperate, and her voice was hoarse but smelled drunk.

"Hide behind the mountain." He let go of a hand and let her crawl over, throwing the flower basket next to her backwards. She couldn't care too much at this time, let alone the pain around her, and struggled to roll backwards. She had just flashed past her, and the team was already approaching. The Queen Mother obviously didn't expect the emperor to be propped up in the shade of flowers, so she was stunned for a moment, and the entourage behind her knelt on the ground.

"What is the emperor doing here? Why didn't Wang Chenghai follow? Ruan Xinghua snorted, seeing that Yun Xi's clothes were half scattered, with a trace of lazy and decadent bright colors on his face, a large number of flowers around him, and half of his clothes, he understood everything in an instant. She waved her hand: "All stand back, no one will be left!" Her voice was slight, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes were fixed on Yun Xi. Yun Xi slowly paced forward, bowed down and said, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother also comes to enjoy the flowers today?" ”

Xinghua waited for people to walk away, and took a step forward towards him: "The emperor went down to the court, and he didn't rest in the Qiyuan Palace, but he came here?" Her phoenix eyes glanced at the rockery, "The mourning family wants to see, which real Buddha is behind this mountain?" To do such a disgraceful thing! ”

"The queen mother, please calm her anger, it is the son who disturbs the peace of the queen mother. The son asks the queen mother for sin! Yun Xi stood in front of her, preventing her from moving forward.

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he has read the books of sages and sages, and he should be an example for the world. The harem should be in harmony and peace, and the virtues of each sect are so charming, and the mourning family cannot tolerate it. Xinghua was furious, and the hairpin in his hair trembled, "Now there is no one here, let her come out and go to Shouchun Palace." ”

"It's the son-in-law who cares about the Son of Heaven's etiquette, and asks the queen mother to punish the son-in-law." Yun Xi's face was quiet, and he lowered his eyes and said.

Xinghua raised his head and stared at him for a long time, and suddenly whispered: "Xi'er, Mo is a woman who has forgotten her ambition to ascend the throne!" As soon as she said this, Yun Xi trembled slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Erchen never dares to forget." ”

Xinghua sighed, glanced at the rockery again, and finally didn't want to make the emperor unable to come down here: "That's it, let's do it." So saying, she turned around and walked towards the lake without looking back.

"The son sends off the queen mother." Yun Xi saw that Xinghua was getting farther and farther away, and his figure was already submerged in the flowers, so he leaned back and swept towards the back of the rockery, and his eyes widened at a glance: The scarlet heart is gone? He was stunned for a moment, leaned on the edge of the stone and asked in a low voice, "Lezheng is scarlet?" Le Zheng scarlet heart! ”

After a while, a pair of hands stretched out from the bottom of the rockery, and at a glance he saw blood stains between his fingers. His pupils shrank slightly, and he whispered, "Come out, let's go." ”

There is a void hole on one side of the bottom end of the rockery, which is left there after the soil foundation is repaired. Before I could fill it, I could only rub it into it reluctantly. She slowly crawled out from underneath, her body was white, white, red and red, and now she was covered in dirt again, and her hair was scattered, how embarrassed and embarrassed she was. She has always been blindly endured, no matter what he does to her, she doesn't snort at all, but she is not like now, and she is still shaking until now. She half-raised her face, and her eyes were actually wrapped in tears, and the drops of crystal sparkled on her eyelashes, which made him a little stunned.

He walked over and bent down to hold out his hand to her. She was startled, thinking that he was still coming, her fingers curled, and her head hit the ground: "Your Majesty, please let the emperor spare the concubine!" It was the first time she had pleaded with him. He suppressed his voice slightly, and reached out to hold her wrist: "If you don't go with me, how can you go back?" ”

She was about to shrink her wrists in shock, but when she heard this, her tears shook and finally fell. Daytime prostitution has been despised, and now it still happens in the garden, and the honor she has painstakingly held collapsed in an instant, and most of her heart is discouraged for a while. The Queen Mother's words just now made her drip to the bone, it was not the emperor's prostitution, it was the charm of a demon girl. The responsibility will be pushed on the woman! He was carefully cultivated by the Queen Mother to ascend to the throne of God, how could she be willing to blame him? In the end, she couldn't win the word pet, and she couldn't win the word virtuous, she was sandwiched between their mother and son, and finally got the name of a demon and scum!

He watched her fall into tears, her long hair and torn shirt made her body half-hidden and half-exposed, and the surrounding flowers swayed, which made her not only look pitiful, but also very glamorous, making him involuntarily look at her, and really wanted to toss her again.

Still, he half-dragged her up, pulled her up, untied his robe and wrapped around her, and reached out to pick her up. She froze, but didn't struggle, just buried her face in his chest. The dense hair covered her face and her tears.

As soon as he picked her up, Wang Chenghai, the big eunuch here, had already rushed over with a few henchmen. Before he could kneel, Yun Xi had already tilted his head slightly: "Pick up the things on the ground and go back to Qiyuan Palace." As he spoke, he motioned for a little eunuch to follow the road and strode towards the Qiyuan Palace. Wang Chenghai understood in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand to let people clean up the scene, and followed with a whisk of dust. The palace maids and eunuchs I saw along the way were all frightened by the sound of "aggressive" flies made by the eunuchs on the road, and turned their backs without squinting.

He was the one who started it, but now, she also depends on him to keep her dignity. Scarlet knew that she would never be able to go back to Huigong at this time, the Queen Mother just didn't want to embarrass the emperor at that time, and her absence from her did not mean that her eyes and ears were not there. If she returns to the palace now, the Queen Mother will be followed by Huang Que and take it right!

She clung to Yun Xi and buried her face completely. It was because of this that she heard his heartbeat. With the sound of his heartbeat, she seemed to calm down and no longer stiffened. Actually, it wasn't better for him to hand her over, except for her, a thorn in her side. She was pulled up by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother must be crazy and stupid when she sees her, and slap herself alive! The Queen Mother will no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the concubines in the future, the person personally selected by the Queen Mother is a fox girl, and the Queen Mother will not be able to care about which one the emperor favors in the future. He didn't do this, he didn't want to embarrass the Queen Mother, right? It must be so.

When he arrived at the Qiyuan Palace, he sent her all the way to the warm room behind the palace, which was just a place for him to rest in his daily administrative leisure. The palace he lived in was Qianyuan Palace, but there was the chief attendant of Wenhua Pavilion Chong Secret Courtyard. It's really not as convenient as this Qiyuan Palace.

"I hope your embroidery spirit is smart, don't look for you everywhere!" He threw her onto the bed and snorted under his breath. She was stunned for a moment, how did he know that embroidery was the most proud of her side? He never even looked at them.

In fact, she is not worried, the embroidery is very smart, as long as there is a little wind and grass, she knows what to do. She is just worried that the Queen Mother will go to the palaces to investigate, and this matter will not be over at all if she does not hand over a person. The Queen Mother may wait until the evening, and then find a son to visit the palace, and soon she will be exposed.

He didn't pay attention to her, and she was so dirty. The palace maid had already stepped forward to clean up for them, but he got it all out with one look. After a while, Wang Chenghai had already come in, and she didn't care whose bed it was, so she hid in the deep inside by mistake, and played in it through a half-curtain.

Wang Chenghai already had a new set of palace clothes in his hand, and he bowed to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, the slave just went to the service bureau and received a set of palace clothes. ”

She listened, startled. Wang Chenghai grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and he was the emperor's hardcore confidant, and at this time he was already the chief eunuch in charge of the palace. At this time, he did this, either because he was brainless, or because he was going to trap her.

The emperor will not leave a woman's things here, even if it is rumored that Concubine Wan will sleep with him and go out, she also knows that the emperor will not bring things over and really live with her. But the palace maids who serve the emperor have, just get one at will so that she can mix it out, and it is better to be able to hide for a while than now. The head of the service bureau is the queen mother's cronies, and the emperor does this because he wants to sell a good job to the queen mother, so that she can touch the melon and pull out the fox by herself. When the time comes, he will have all his face, it's not that he can't protect it, it's that he can't keep it. As for her, her face is gone, her lining has long been rotten into a pot of porridge, and she has always been saving face. It's not for herself, it's for her whole family. When this news spread, their Lezheng family was ruined.

Rather than this, it is better to ask the Queen Mother for her guilt and let the Queen Mother deal with it secretly, which can also save her face. She wrapped her robe tightly and was about to go out, when she suddenly heard Yun Xi say, "Count you smart." "Scarlet Heart's heart is really dead, he really thinks so. Suddenly, he continued, "Let's send it to the Laiyin Palace, and send it in the evening." Then tell Concubine Wan to ask her to say hello to the Queen Mother early tomorrow! ”

Scarlet Heart's brain exploded all at once, and she was completely stunned by him. Send it to Laiyin Palace, that's the place for concubines! What exactly was he thinking? And let Concubine Wan go to ask for peace earlier? This is clearly to tell the queen mother that it was the concubine who instructed the palace maid to seduce the emperor, and the master and servant tied the emperor's heart together! The clothes received by the service bureau are all palace clothes, but they are all worn by ordinary palace maids. The clothes of the senior concubines are from the Shangfu Bureau, and they are customized according to the monthly rules of the masters, and each palace collar has its own.

Just now he and Concubine Wan were painting in the Huxin Pavilion, and everyone knew that when he turned his face, he got involved with someone in the Peony Sea. The Queen Mother must know the route of Wan Concubine's return, and it is estimated that she was already suspected that it was Wan Concubine's person, not Wan Concubine, but also her minion. The minions are not very easy to check, they are all the same when they change the palace clothes, and there are too many people in and out, and there are not forty or fifty in which palace and which courtyard, so even if the emperor brings it back to the Qiyuan Palace, it is possible to sneak back. But the palace maid's clothes are counted, and if you tear one piece, you have to get another one. Tomorrow, Concubine Wan will ask Ann to go early, and this series will be continuous. The Queen Mother is determined, there is no need to find out who it is, it is enough to know the source!

She didn't listen to what they said later, and her heart was already in a big mess. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a figure was already sitting beside her, and she let out a low cry of fright. At this time, her heart collapsed, and she didn't care about what Concubine Hui looked like. A pair of eyes widened, looking like a frightened rabbit.

"This favor, if you don't want it?" The corners of Yun Xi's lips raised slightly, and she actually smiled at her! He smiled at her for the first time, but it scared her. She couldn't understand him before, and now she can't understand it even more, where is this like what the emperor said, does the emperor need to ask for favors from the concubines?

"Don't you?" He looked into her eyes, but his smile deepened.

"The emperor asked the palace maid to give the concubine a set of old clothes, and the concubine was sure to mix it up. The Queen Mother can't find out who she can only do, He ......" She suddenly felt that she had too many words, and she was silent halfway through speaking.

"What if you don't?" He ignored her words and asked.

"Concubine, thank the emperor for his grace." She took a deep breath and became husband and wife, both in love. Concubine Wan thought so, but a man who smiled so gently at her didn't think so. She even suspected now that he didn't like that Hui Concubine at all, the original sorrow and sorrow, or just for others to see!

"Let's go to Shouchun Palace tomorrow to fish for people, Concubine Wan will definitely remember your grace. In the future, her father will do things for you, don't you say, concubine? The smile in his eyes was still there, but it made her tremble. He, he knows it all.

He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and the court poured him better than anyone else, and he naturally enjoyed the wonderful meaning. ascended the throne as the eleventh son, in addition to the queen mother, he also had to fight for his own luck. It turned out that she underestimated him, he had no heart, he could only fight, he was a master and a master. Obey the Queen Mother's wishes and hand over to the person the Queen Mother is most willing to see. Lin Zhonglang will understand, don't think that if a daughter goes in, he will be able to call for wind and rain in the court. The people he wants to use must first be suppressed to the extreme, and then they will be completely owned by him. His purpose must be this, Lin Zhonglang is too sharp now to do big things. He can appreciate the personality of others, but he only needs chess pieces to act, and chess pieces do not need edges and corners, and he will polish them and round them to make them obedient.

He gave her this great favor so that she could see where she should stand. The lord of the harem is not the queen mother, not the queen, but him. Inside and outside the court, in the opposition and in the court, there is only him! She understood.

"How are you going to thank me?" He reached out to touch her cheek, a gentle movement that made her whole body tremble. She was right, and he was going to ask for her position now. It is impossible for her to live in peace in the palace, and it is impossible to ensure her status in peace.

"The life of the concubine belongs to the emperor." She bent her legs slightly and knelt on the bed.

"Next time, I'll use this incense." He suddenly leaned over and sniffed at her neck, "It's exactly the same as the last time." ”

She was startled, surprised, last time? She suddenly remembered. The third day of last month! She remembered it back, but because she offended him before, she forgot about the third day of last month. It was that day, on the chaise longue, the day he went to the palace!

"What kind of incense?" He suddenly started gnawing at her neck again, making her whole body tremble.

"Yes, it's the White Lotus Mulberry." She trembled, "For example, if the emperor likes it, the ministers, the concubines ......"

"White Lotus Mulberry Hibiscus." He repeated softly, reaching out to grab her hand, spreading out her palm, where blood no longer oozed, and became a deep spot of blood, like cinnabar in the palm of his hand.

He stroked her palm, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Next time, remember to use this incense." She was completely dizzy, she couldn't read him at all, and she didn't dare to look at him.

"You will forget even the third day of the new month every month, I don't know where the concubine is spending her thoughts?" His voice suddenly became cold again, and her heart and liver were about to be shattered when she let it go. These words reminded her of the Queen Mother's words, where did she spend her thoughts? Or, maybe she's been ignoring it all along. The only one who can keep her position the most is the emperor. She remembers, that's why she is so planning to please the emperor. At the beginning, the two palace maids, although they scolded her, he didn't accept it correctly. The current concubine, he likes it very differently?

"The concubine is guilty." She spat out a few words softly, and couldn't say anything else. She can still guess others, but he can't guess at all.

"I think you look ugly in blue!" His sudden words made her even more messy, ugly? Hui Fei's favorite color! Yes, he didn't want to see her pretend to be Concubine Hui, because she didn't deserve it at all. He reminded her again and again, and every time she was so messy, it had already shown that she was stupid and still dreaming of a virtuous concubine!

It doesn't matter, she doesn't like or dislike anyway, all her hobbies are to please others. used to ask for the eldest mother and father, but now for the emperor and the queen mother. As for herself, nothing mattered.

"The concubine understands." She bit her lower lip and answered. His eyes looked at her coldly, understood? It's strange that she really understands! She was silent for a moment, now the scene was embarrassing to the extreme, and it made her extremely uncomfortable. It was all his breath, the faint smell of sandalwood, including the robe on her body, which made her feel breathless, but she didn't dare to ask him to find someone to serve her, she really didn't dare.

It was the eunuch outside who saved her! There was an urgent report from an official in the front hall, and the eunuch did not dare not pass it on. Only then did he stand up and let the maid come in to change his clothes, and his underwear also needed to be changed. She let out a long breath, and she really had the urge to reward that official! It really saved her life.

She is not afraid of the harem struggle, and she is not afraid of winning in the cracks. She was most afraid of him! What she wants to be is actually a housekeeper who helps him take care of the chores of the inner palace. She can arrange everything well, and then exchange him with a compliment. Respect each other like guests, just like the eldest mother and father, like the virtuous concubines and emperors of the first dynasty!

In the evening, she wore the old clothes of the little palace maid, and sneaked away at dusk before the lamp was turned on. She combed the little palace maid's single bun, with broken hair hanging on both sides, and the powder was not used, and her face was even more snow-white. The appearance of her outfit made him stare at her for a long time, staring at her face with a fever, and then let her out. She hides left and right, but fortunately, she is also familiar with the palace, and knows when to walk and what way she will not touch people.

The news of the Imperial Garden had already spread to the palaces, and Xiu Ling knew in her heart that she didn't dare to take the lead at all, until she came back, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She soaked in the self-introduced passion pool in the palace, and in this entire harem, only those above the concubine level will lead the spring pool in the palace. Baixiang Pond is next to the back garden of the Hui Palace, occupies a whole corner hall, is a pool four zhang long, two zhang five feet wide, and about four feet deep. The four corners are decorated with lotus flowers, the side walls are painted with colorful carvings, and there are eight toad beads spitting water.

The whole hall is paved with bluestone carvings, and it is the inner canal of the palace circulation. Each around is placed with an eight-fold rosewood landscape screen, and the corner beam hangs a double-layer pearlescent curtain. In addition to this pool, there is also a decorative cabinet on the four sides, and a whole wall is embedded with a fence, inside are all kinds of bathrobes, and all white brocade silk silk towels are placed underneath. There are also many fine spices and soup-making items piled up in the corner cabinet.

Scarlet Heart is immersed in the water, and she can't help but be afraid. She really needs to think about how to maintain herself in the palace in the future.

In fact, the hardest part is not how many opponents you beat. For the women of the harem, the opponent has been endless for three years, and it will never be finished. The emperor can be old, but the concubine can't be old. Nianhua is the most powerful and the most powerless to resist. The most clever thing is not to stand on the top of the peak and let people take pictures, but to become a rock in the waves. But if you want to do this, it is not enough to rely on the emperor's favor, far from enough. What's more, in today's sainthood, his favor is changing rapidly. She doesn't need his favor, but she needs his support, but after today, she feels that he also needs her cooperation. The emperor ascended to the top of the throne through his relatives, but now as he grows in wings, it is obvious that the conflict with his relatives is gradually increasing. Outside the country, the previous dynasty has been repeated, and the queen mother obviously knows this truth, so she tries her best to interfere in the affairs of the harem.

The Queen Mother's Ruan family, the great family of Jin Thailand, has caught up with three generations of high soil. Her ancestors used to worship Da Sima, and now her father and brother have heavy soldiers in their hands. The two daughters of the Queen Mother, Qiu Ping and Qiu Ran, are married to families. However, the father of the Queen Mother is already old, and the emperor has been in power for several years, and he is gradually cultivating usable people. In the past, the emperor discussed everything with the queen mother, but now he has begun to make arbitrary decisions, and it is precisely because of this that there have been many disputes in the court. I heard that Ruan Danqing, the father of the Queen Mother, was violent and violent, and he was born in martial arts and was a minister of the first emperor, and he had disputes with the emperor in the palace more than once, and it is said that there were even a few times when the palace roared, and the emperor must have been dissatisfied in his heart, but he was waiting for a suitable and reasonable opportunity.

In that case, what does she need to cooperate with? Get rid of the concubines promoted by the Queen Mother, and take the opportunity to suppress their clansmen. Promote some women who maintain the emperor's wishes, but let them behave properly. She was promoted by the Queen Mother, but now the emperor uses her. Even cutting and beating like this, Concubine Wan must know the stakes, and she won't dare to go over and expose it in the future, right? In fact, she doesn't hate this natural beauty of spring. Forget it, anyway, she can't afford to offend the Queen Mother, and she can't afford to offend the emperor. She had to avoid the limelight and not fall to the bottom.

She was thinking about it, when suddenly her palm hurt, causing her to tremble slightly, and when she looked back, she saw Xiucai hanging her head and accusing herself: "Niangniang, the slave has heavy hands." ”

"It's okay, you can get it." Scarlet smiled faintly, and suddenly said, "By the way, take away all the blue clothes in the palace." Replace it with a new color, come back and get the tricks for the palace to see. ”

"Huh?" Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and Xiuling asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, did the emperor say anything to Niangniang today?" Blue is the favorite color of the former Concubine Hui, so Scarlet added a lot of different materials, different styles, different patterns, and different shades of blue clothes, but at this time, she suddenly said that she wanted to change to a new color, so Xiu Ling couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Xiuling, you have been in the palace for a long time. Do you know what happened to Concubine Hui and died? Scarlet suddenly turned her face to look at Xiu Ling, "I heard that when the emperor got married, he married a queen and a concubine, and the queen Ruan Yinyin is the niece of the queen mother, and this concubine Ruan Hui is the daughter of the queen mother's clan." After these two Ruan entered the palace, Concubine Hui died in only two years, and she was young, what was the disease? ”

No one in the palace said anything about this, she always thought that the emperor had a deep affection for Concubine Hui, so he would accept her as a concubine because of her image, so she never asked. But today's performance really made her wonder if the previous Concubine Hui was as favored as the legend.

As soon as Xiucai saw Xiu Ling's eyes, she understood what she meant, and pouted slightly: "Don't let me listen to it, I also want to know." Xiucai is young in the end, at this time, his mouth was about to speak, and suddenly he remembered Scarlet Heart again, shrunk his shoulders slightly, and before he could speak, Scarlet Heart was already smiling: "In front of this palace, it doesn't matter." ”

Xiucai pursed her lips and nodded: "Niangniang, Xiucai will go and change some tea for you." So saying, she put down the veil and went out.

"Niangniang, this matter is forbidden in the palace, and the Queen Mother has already ordered that it should not be mentioned again." Xiu Ling said while massaging her shoulder, "However, everyone who has been known for a long time knows that Concubine Hui was killed by the queen!" ”

"What?" Scarlet was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect it to be this.

"At that time, the queen mother selected concubines for the emperor, all of whom were selected from their own clansmen and pro-party families, and four were selected at that time. Two are the daughters of the Ruan family, and the other two are also the daughters of the Queen Mother's pro-party. The emperor wants to establish Hui as the queen, and the other three as concubines, but the queen mother must make the emperor Yinyin as the queen, Hui as the concubine, and the other two as wives. One of them is the current Mrs. Ninghua, and there is also Mrs. Zhaohua, but she has become the queen's substitute ghost! The embroidered spirit said quietly, "The relationship between the emperor and the queen is not good, one is because of luxury, and the other is because of jealousy, but I get along very well with Concubine Hui!" ”

The scarlet heart only felt a cold sweat, and the emperor was disgusted with luxury? That Concubine Hui is not bad for the queen. On the other hand, since she entered the palace, the queen has been very frugal.

"With the harem full, the emperor doesn't have much time to accompany Concubine Hui. But the emperor often asks Concubine Hui to play chess and discuss poetry, and he will be lucky on the third day of the first day of every month. Because the emperor thinks the queen is extravagant, but he ignores Concubine Hui's extravagance. The queen was young and vigorous, and she was indignant in her heart, quarreled with the emperor several times, and sued the queen mother. In this matter between husband and wife, the Queen Mother cannot force peace, only persuasion. But because of this, the relationship between the emperor and the queen became worse and worse, and the queen and Concubine Hui were originally sisters, but at this time, they were emotionally distant! Xiu Ling continued, "Later, Concubine Hui became pregnant, and the next thing is that Niang Niang can guess it, right?" The queen only wanted to abort her fetus, but she didn't want to die twice. The queen blamed Mrs. Zhaohua who went to visit the concubine. Mrs. Zhaohua was afraid that she would not be able to explain clearly in front of the palace, so she committed suicide when she returned to the palace. ”

"Hmm." Scarlet squinted, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever seen Concubine Hui when she was pregnant?" ”

"At that time, the slave maid was not on an errand in the Hui Palace, otherwise the slave and maid would not be blessed to serve the mother." Of course, Xiu Ling's words were understood, and even the people from the Hui Palace were all dealt with. That shows that there is much more to the truth than meets the eye. As for what is real, Scarlet doesn't want to guess anymore. Anyway, the final result was that two years after he was in power, the queen mother chose the four daughters of the clan for him, and went to the third. Two are dead, and one is equal to being abolished. Both are extravagant, but only one is reprimanded, so unfair, of course, it causes jealousy. took advantage of the woman's jealousy, the queen mother's painstaking arrangement, and finally left Mrs. Ninghua alone. And this, or perhaps the most obedient, right? Scarlet thought to herself, and couldn't help but shiver. Being in the warm spring, I actually feel even colder.

Early the next morning, Scarlet Heart still went to the Queen Mother's Shouchun Palace according to the previous time. In the past two years, the Queen Mother began to do morning classes to the Buddha at the end of the day, and dispersed at two o'clock in the morning. But since entering the palace, the scarlet heart has been going to the palace every day, and has never changed in the side hall of the Ying Hall in front of the Shouchun Palace. In this regard, he was deeply appreciated by the Queen Mother.

Today, he is still the same, wearing a blue finch silk robe, lined with a dark blue shutter flower skirt, combing a high bun, and outlining his eyebrows and eyes. When she made this decoration, she hesitated. Yesterday, the emperor's words were still in his ears, saying that she was unbearable in blue shirts, but all the top and bottom of the Hui Palace were deep and shallow blue, and pink blue was the most. Some of the regular clothes are of other colors, but if you want to see the Queen Mother, you can't be too frugal. One day she couldn't make it a replacement, so she had to do it.

It stands to reason that she is in the position of a noble concubine, and with her own rank, she is extremely rich every month. In addition to silver and rice, there are also brocades and hairpins that are routinely given. If these things are put in the people, they can be eaten for a lifetime for a month. But the women who live in the harem know that their expenses are invisible. I live in a royal palace and use the royal inner library, and it seems that I can't get in or out at all, but in fact, I don't have a lot of money.

Tipping alone costs a lot of money. I want to have more complete information in the palace, eunuchs and palace maids, who seem to outsiders to be small people at the bottom of the palace, but in fact, their power cannot be underestimated. If you want to maintain your network and have someone to do when it matters, you need to cultivate it over the long term. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is used in the harem.

Money is a thing that can't make you favored and can't keep you alive, but many times, it does bring you convenience. From his father's marching tracks, Scarlet learned this. Only by giving them benefits first, and giving them both grace and power, can we receive better results. Therefore, when she entered the palace, her father poured everything he had into preparing a large amount of gold and silver for her domestic needs. In just three years, she's exhausted.

Therefore, in addition to maintaining her own inherent faΓ§ade, she has little left for the monthly service. A lot of silk forging and weaving, because of the color, she is used to reward people. But these are all worth it, everyone knows that the concubine is willing to spend money, so as her rank rises, there are many people who come to cling. A lot of news, needless to say, true or false, she will verify it again, but she never refutes the face of the good one. No matter how low the other party's status in the palace is, she rewards him generously. Therefore, she has been able to survive in the past three years, it is not enough to rely on her top, and it is closely related to her hard work.

Some concubines just want to win favor, and there are no taboos for one favor. In fact, this is a big mistake, not to mention that the heart of heaven is unpredictable. The mere fact that the wall had ears was enough to pull her off her horse.

Yesterday, the emperor thought she was ugly in blue, which was undoubtedly another problem for her. It's nothing to cut the silk, but it just consumes a lot of examples. Her maiden home is in Huainan, far away from Beijing. In order to please the Queen Mother, she asked her father to find a thousand-year-old strange wood for her to carve and plant, but at this time she really didn't want to open her mouth to her father repeatedly. Besides, every line and every action has something to say. Now is an extraordinary period of the general election, and we really can't let people make mistakes and be swept off by this wave of red and pink.

So early in the morning, she had already told Xiu Ling that it was good to choose a few pieces of various colors to fill the faΓ§ade, and there was no need to replace them on a large scale. Xiu Ling knew her suffering, and once told her that she would find an opportunity to tell the Queen Mother or the Emperor: It would not be too difficult to talk about whether she could transfer her father closer, not to seek a higher position, but to seek a distance.

It's not that she hasn't thought about this, but first, the queen mother now has a delicate relationship with the emperor. If this matter is not said well, it will make people deduct the mistake of using power for personal gain, and the Queen Mother is unwilling to take care of this matter for her; Second, the emperor has always been lukewarm to her, and in the past two years, she has obviously abandoned her, wouldn't it be even more annoying for her to talk about these things again. Moreover, her family was born in a businessman, and after she entered the palace, she had promoted her father according to the system, and her father got an idle position as a Huaizhou Sima, which was four levels higher than the Huaizhou patrol that she had worked hard to get before. Of course, she understands the truth that if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. But the problem is that she, who has attained enlightenment, is just a whirlpool.

She was thinking about it here, and she was already approaching the outer garden of Shouchun Palace. The eunuch guarding the garden saw her guard of honor from afar, and had already thrown up his sleeves and bowed down to meet her. While shouting "please be safe", she knelt down and held her hand to let her get down, and at the moment she stepped down, she whispered: "Concubine Wan came early in the morning, and the old lady of the Queen Mother was angry." ”

Scarlet Xin already knew, but she naturally wanted to buy this good, and she snorted between her noses and responded, and the embroidered spirit over there had quietly stuffed a handful of broken silver into his hand. Someone had already reported in front of her, and the queue had already opened between the words to welcome her in.

As soon as she stepped into the front garden, she faintly felt that the atmosphere was oppressive. When I entered the front hall, I saw Xue Qingzheng kneeling in the center of the hall at a glance, and I didn't hear her voice, but when I looked at her shoulders trembling slightly, I knew that there were two bubbles of tears in my eyes.

Ruan Xinghua sat tall in the middle with an angry face, but to her surprise, the emperor actually stood sideways. She was so heartbroken that she didn't dare to look at it anymore, so she was busy asking the emperor and the queen mother to say goodbye. When the Queen Mother saw her come in, her face eased slightly, and she raised her hand slightly to signal her to come over. She lowered her eyebrows, but she intuitively felt that two cold lights were slashing like knives, and she didn't need to look at her to know who was looking at her with such eyes.

"The heart came at the right time, you have always assisted the queen in the affairs of the harem, like this, how to punish those who do not abide by the palace etiquette?" Ruan Xinghua's phoenix eyes squinted, staring at the concubine who was already crying with pear blossoms and rain below, and snorted coldly. Concubine Wan was already trembling with fright, and she couldn't say anything.

"The Queen Mother." Chu Yunxi pursed her lips slightly, and was just about to speak, but Xinghua here was no longer salty or light: "The emperor is in the early dynasty, and this hour is almost the same." Don't let the hundred officials have any more complaints, saying that the emperor only cares about family affairs and doesn't care about state affairs! ”

"The queen mother is right, the ministers there will come to visit the queen mother again." As he spoke, he bowed slightly, glanced at Scarlet Heart with a blank look, and then turned around and went out!

Scarlet knelt to send the emperor out, Xinghua abandoned everyone by the way, and when she got up, she told her what happened yesterday. This matter is the person concerned, how can I not know, I only feel that Xinghua is a cone in my heart, and she is like a thorn in her back. She barely listened, and the Queen Mother asked her what to do, so she quietly sent the hot potato over. If it weren't for the conversation with the emperor in the Qiyuan Hall yesterday, she would really be caught in the middle of it again today.

She glanced at Xue Qing and whispered to the Queen Mother: "According to the concubine, it's better to hide this matter quietly." ”

"How?" Xinghua snorted.

"Sister Wan Concubine has just entered the palace and has been favored by the Holy Grace, and it is difficult to ensure that some subordinates are disobedient and jealous in their eyes. My sister has always been raised in the deep boudoir, and she is kind to people, so she doesn't know the stakes. The bottom of the camp is profitable, and the younger sister can't be coerced, which is understandable. Although the slave is not effective in punishing its master, if the queen mother punishes her sister heavily, the saint's heart aches, and it also hurts the relationship between the queen mother and the saint. It's just a cheap minion that takes advantage of it! The more Scarlet Xin said, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, and she was really awkward to receive this favor. She kept saying that the minions who took advantage of it were like scolding herself.

Xinghua was silent, and Scarlet continued: "According to the concubine, my sister is not effective in disciplining, and she will be punished for three months." Grounded in the palace for half a month, not allowed to leave the Laiyin Palace. The eight palace maids who served his sister were punished according to the rules, and four of them who followed his sister into the palace were sent out of the palace to be handed over to his family for discipline, that is. ”

Scarlet knew that this was what the Queen Mother wanted. She can't get someone, she always has to go down a step, and the punishment is too heavy, the emperor is heartbroken, and he is unhappy not to punish himself. Besides, what she cares about is that Xueqing's master and servant are single-minded, seducing the emperor together to consolidate his position. Now blast out the minions she brought in, and then turn her ears and eyes over is what she wants.

As soon as she left the Shouchun Palace, Xue Qing hurriedly thanked her: "Thanks to my sister's plea for the Queen Mother, otherwise I would ......" she said, tears fell again, "Actually, my sister is really wronged." Yesterday, my sister accompanied the emperor to the garden, and then the emperor left. My sister led people back to the palace, and as soon as she came today, the queen mother said...... It's really a mouth-wrenching sister. ”

"How does the Queen Mother decide that she is the person in your palace?" Scarlet knows everything, but there is one thing she doesn't understand, how Wan Concubine didn't suspect the emperor at all, but yesterday he asked Wang Chenghai to send palace clothes, and asked her to go to ask for peace early, isn't this a clear show to put a condom on her? No matter how stupid Xue Qing is, she won't be unable to figure this out, right?

"It's all because Xue Qing was in a hurry, yesterday evening, Grandpa Wang sent the palace clothes to the wrong place. As soon as Xue Qing entered the palace, he heard that Father-in-law Wang grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and he was the most intimate and able to talk, so Xue Qing left his father-in-law to drink tea in the front hall and wanted to know something about the emperor. The father-in-law did not want to stay for a long time, and said that he would still serve the emperor for placement, and the emperor would go to the queen mother earlier today to ask for peace. Xue Qing heard this, and was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she would come over earlier and meet the emperor. Who knew that as soon as she arrived here, the queen mother angrily reprimanded Xue Qing, saying that Xue Qing took advantage of the garden yesterday to instruct the palace people to do that immoral thing. The emperor pleaded for Xueqing, but the queen mother refused to believe it. In fact, Xue Qing took four girls with her yesterday, but when she came back, she really followed a lot! As soon as Xue Qing's words came out, Scarlet Heart fully understood. It is not so much that Wang Chenghai is cunning, but that the emperor is really clever. In front of the Queen Mother, Xue Qing didn't dare to say that Wang Chenghai sent it to the wrong place, but she just pulled him to inquire about the emperor's news, if this came out, it could only make the Queen Mother even more angry.

"Sister Guifei's great kindness, Xue Qing is unforgettable. Xue Qing also knows that her sister is difficult to do, so this is already the best result. Xue Qing snorted and said, "Xue Qing has also learned a lesson this time, and I will rely on my sister to mention more in the future." ”

"I know you're alone in the palace. Bringing a few girls from the family with you can be regarded as a companion, but since this matter has been determined to be you, this is the only way to show your innocence. It's better to be cautious in the palace than at home. Scarlet whispered, reminding her tactfully by the way. What kind of "husband", it's better not to call it in public, if it wasn't her who heard it at the time, but someone else, it is estimated that the trouble is more than this.

After this, within a few days, Lin Zhonglang responded. His wife took advantage of visiting the palace and asked Lin Xueqing to bring her a jade Pixiu on the occasion of asking for peace every day. Jade is naturally a good jade, it is from the Western Regions mutton fat warm, not only good jade, but also a good carving, delicate needle chisel, silk into the marrow, but its meaning is more scarlet heart.

Lin Zhonglang was grateful to her for taking care of Xue Qing in front of the Queen Mother, taking jade as a letter, and if she had plans in the future, she would use it as a basis. This time, Xue Qing let the Queen Mother grab the handle, and in the end she just reprimanded and blamed her, although she broke four family girls, but the main owner was not affected, but because of this, the emperor felt more pity, and it could not be said that Seong lost his horse. And the importance of the concubine is even more indispensable to Lin Zhonglang. Although the daughter is loved by the emperor, she will be unpopular in the palace, and there is no strong support, and the concubine is an excellent candidate.
