What Fenghua Palace looks like now, although no one has ever hyped it up, but it is well known in this palace, so on the third day of Ming Shiyun's return to the palace, she received an invitation from Concubine Hua and asked her if she would like to have lunch with Birou Palace.

"Concubine Jue has seen Concubine Hua." It's time to put on her own attitude, Ming Shiyun's etiquette has always been very sufficient, so in front of Hua Guifei, she has never lost her manners or crossed her line, no matter what kind of relationship she has with the fifth prince Xiao Yingzhe now, at least on the bright side, she is still the emperor's woman, how to treat the concubines in the palace, she will never leave a tongue.

"Sister Jue, why should you be so polite, come and sit down." Hua Guifei was unexpectedly enthusiastic, and personally stepped forward to help Ming Shiyun, and pulled her to the table, "Look at today's dishes?" Do you still like it? ”

"Ah, these are all ......" Ming Shiyun looked at the table full of special dishes with some surprise, and then turned her head to look at Hua Guifei, and suddenly felt a little moved, "Sister Hua...... It's good for concubines. ”

"Hehe, it's good if you like it, I don't know what you like to eat, just let the small kitchen simply make all the specialties of your hometown, but I don't know if it's authentic enough, I'm afraid it can't be compared with the ones you used to eat, so I have to ask you to take it."

"How come, where is there anything bad in the small kitchen in Sister Hua's palace, it is my blessing to be able to have lunch in Birou Palace today."

"If you like it, you can come every day, I have everything in Birou Palace, but I lack a companion, and there is a little master in the side hall in other people's palaces, but I don't have one here, and it's difficult to find someone to talk to on weekdays."

"Fenghua Palace is not the same? I'm the only one who lives alone, but I'm bored, I lived in Xiyuyuan for a while, and there are many Sister Shu chatting with me, but now I move back, and it's far away. Concubine Hua's attitude was close, and Ming Shiyun naturally wouldn't look respectful and distant, so she naturally chatted with her, "If Sister Hua doesn't think I'm childish and annoying, I'm willing to come and go often." ”

"That's a good feeling, there is really nothing to do in this palace, and I still have a headache every day and don't know how to pass the time."

Although the lunch was sumptuous, the two of them used it casually, as if they had been friends in the palace for many years, chatting and eating slowly, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.

When she finished lunch, Concubine Hua invited Ming Shiyun to go to the Imperial Garden to take a walk to eat and relax, and Ming Shiyun was also happy to follow it, and the two even retired from the palace maids, leaving only one attendant to wander over.

"Today, the two of you and I have lunch together, and we also visit the Imperial Garden, I'm afraid it will soon spread in the harem, Sister Jue, what do you think?" After smelling the fragrance of winter plum blossoms lightly, Hua Guifei suddenly changed the topic of idle talk, and looked at Ming Shiyun with a faint smile, with some uncertain emotions in her eyes.

"What can I think? The harem has never been full of gossip, isn't it? If they want to say something, I can't stop it, but one thing is different from another after all, since one thing is said, the other naturally has nothing to say. Ming Shiyun also smiled faintly, Tingting's figure stood beside Hua Guifei, but she just glanced at each other casually, and then turned away to continue to enjoy the snowy scenery of the imperial garden.

"Looks like you know what I mean, too." Hua Guifei Wan'er, aside from the rest, but as far as Ming Shiyun is concerned, she still likes it, after all, whether she gets along or talks with smart people, it is much easier and happier than those who don't know things, "Since you know, I don't need to worry about anything, I have to see the queen herself in the future, I think you also feel it this morning, she no longer has any good intentions towards you." ”

"I understand, I want to help her son's biggest opponent, she naturally won't have much affection for me, but I can't be easily kneaded by others, if she wants to be able to deal with me and the five princes at the same time, kill two birds with one stone, not to mention me, the five princes themselves should have done everything they could." Ming Shiyun didn't seem to care much about these, and just replied casually, not thinking that this was a big deal, "Sister Hua, you and the queen are very powerful, and Concubine Liang Shufei is also very powerful, but although I am just a princess of a dead country, without the support of a strong mother's family, but I have the emperor's favor, this is the sharpest weapon in the harem, as long as I make good use of it, no one is my opponent, I actually don't like to get involved in any harem tricks to compete for favor, However, I was sent to the palace to keep my family and the country safe, so this favor, I have to hold it firmly, as for the others, I am not interested, and I am too lazy to toss, power is such a thing, you can take it as much as you want, and I help your son just to make life easier in the harem. ”

"So what you mean now is that you are all pampered alone, and the power is up to us who loves and who wants to go, right?" Hua Guifei smiled, Ming Shiyun's words couldn't be clearer, and she wasn't worried that Ming Shiyun was just shirking, after all, she had lived in the palace for so long, and she could see at a glance who was what kind of person she was.

"That's right, that's what I mean, Sister Hua, what do you mean?"

"Me? What can I mean? Zhe'er's mind is all on you, since you have the ability to make my son like it, I can't control him when he's older, so I have to go with him, not to mention that you can still help him get the throne, I have your support and I am naturally more powerful in the harem, no matter how you think about it, it's a good thing, why don't I do it? ”

"Yo, your son is in the harem, you can see it." couldn't help but bow her head and smile, Ming Shiyun was not surprised that Hua Guifei knew everything about herself and Xiao Yingzhe, anyway, even if she knew, it wouldn't be a big deal, and there would be one more person to cover for herself in the future, which would be better for herself.

"What's there that can't be seen? Zhe'er has the ability, he does what he wants. I, the concubine, am supporting him behind his back, not trying to pull him back. ”

"What if he is defeated by me?"

"Although Zhe'er likes you, but he is not the kind of person who doesn't want the country for the sake of beauty, what is the most important thing, he can tell it clearly, and if even you can make him out of proportion, it can only be regarded as his lack of ability. What I need in Dawei is the Emperor of the Ages, not a faint monarch who has no ability. ”

"You really have faith in the Five Princes...... That's right, it's his own son after all. ”

"I have confidence in him, of course, because he is my son, I raised him since childhood, how much ability he has, no one knows better than me, he is the most suitable candidate to inherit the unification, the prince is of course good, but Zhe'er is a better candidate than the prince, he has the heart to make Dawei an unprecedented glorious and prosperous era, of course the mother concubine has to help him, and I also think that the emperor that Dawei needs most now is not the benevolent monarch of the prince, but a pioneering and enterprising monarch like Zhe'er." Hua Guifei stared at Ming Shiyun tightly, and the smile raised at the corner of her mouth honored the prestige, "I know that you think that the battle for the heir is not only a must for the heavenly family, but also very boring, everyone disregards family affection for their own ambitions, I don't deny this, because this is the case, but everyone's heart has a weight to measure, the reason why Great Wei is prosperous, the reason why it can unify the entire Beiyue, I will let you see the reason today." ”

"I know...... I, I know ......" seemed to be moved by what Hua Guifei said, Ming Shiyun muttered a few words, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't have any complaints because my country was annexed, and I didn't think about making any waves in the harem of Dawei, I came to be a favorite concubine in order to let my hometown get the best treatment, not to recover any price for the destruction of my country, anyway, sooner or later, the world will be one, I know that Dawei is indeed very strong, and the emperors and princes of Dawei are also very good, is enough to afford the unification of Beiyue, these are far from being comparable to my Daqi, so I am very convinced, and I have always been convinced. ”

"It's good that you know, I'm going to talk to you so openly and honestly today, but also so that we can be honest in the future, after all, there are too many people in this palace with their own thoughts, whether it's the queen, the good lady, or the little masters, which of them is not eyeing each other? You want to be the bird that comes out now, with infinite beauty, but also always a threat of intrigue and calculation, and you will always need more help than you think. ”

"But with Sister Hua's help, at least such a thing as a slippery tire miscarriage shouldn't happen again, right?" quickly put away her emotions, Ming Shiyun regained her indifferent attitude, "I need a child to consolidate my position, of course, this child will never be involved in any dispute over the heir, not to mention anything else, just because of my identity as the princess of the dead country, this child will not inherit the unification, but he is the best weapon to help the five princes at a critical time." ”

"Are you willing to train even your own children to become Zhe'er's henchmen?"

"Although I have never been a mother, I have also been a member of the heavenly family, I know what is best for a prince, I don't have a good background, I naturally have to find a good backer for him, what is better than following the future new emperor?"

"Okay, since you can think like this, I'll take Zhe'er to respond, don't worry, your emperor will definitely be able to get the best life, which I think Zhe'er will also be happy to."
