Ye Ruotang ignored her pleas for mercy, turned his head and asked, "Luzhu, how about Luzhu, is this pastry delicious?" ”

Luzhu just ate two pieces, and now there are crumbs hanging on his mouth, "soft and glutinous, delicious"

Lu Yan Siwen only ate half of it, and now there is still half of it because General Ning Yuan came and dragged it in the palm of his hand, "It's not as sweet as ordinary pastries, but it also fits"

Ye Ruotang smiled and squinted, took a piece and handed it to Mu Yuyan, "Ah Yan, you eat this jujube cake"

Mu Yuyan didn't like sweets and wanted to refuse, but it was given by her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't peel off her face, so she took it and tasted it, and put it on the table, "It's not as delicious as Ah Ruo's cooking"

Lu Zhu and Lu Yan stared at each other with wide eyes, a little hard to believe, the outside world is rumored that General Ning Yuan is as cold as frost and decisive in killing, although it is just a rumor, but after a long time, it has also entered the hearts of the people, and now in front of his eldest lady, it is actually a gentle style.

Ye Zhinan's eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness, and he muttered in his heart: Ye Ruotang is not bad in appearance, and in terms of knowledge, she has gone to school and often wanders among the literati in the poetry club, why can she get the favor of General Ning Yuan, and she is really a natural fox like her mother.

Ye Zhinan's pupils were slightly dilated, and he had a plan in his heart, if Ye Ruotang was disfigured, would General Ning Yuan still like her like this?

Ye Ruotang seemed to feel her hostility, looked at her with a dignified gaze, and slowly got up and walked towards the house.

"It's the first time I've come to this Tang Garden"

Lu Zhu and Lu Yan followed behind him, "Miss, this is the lobby, there is a side room, your room is in the back, you can see the flowers as soon as the window is opened, and it is cool in summer............"

Mu Yuyan kept sitting there and didn't let Ye Zhinan get up.

After kneeling on the ground for a long time, Ye Zhinan's legs hurt tightly, but because of General Ning Yuan's presence, he didn't dare to move for half a minute, for fear of disturbing him and receiving other punishments.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon, the housekeeper hurriedly ran to invite Ye Ruotang and Mu Yuyan to the lobby for dinner, this just walked to Tang Yuan and saw Ye Zhinan kneeling aside, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but this General Ning Yuan was here, and he didn't dare to ask anything more.

"Miss, General Ning Yuan, please come to the front yard for lunch"

Ye Ruotang heard it in the room and walked out, raised his head and looked at the sky, "Yo, it's noon so soon?" ”

Mu Yuyan also got up, and naturally took the girl's hand, "Let's go, it just so happens that I'm hungry too."

The two of them didn't care that there was still a person kneeling in front of them, so they walked past Ye Zhinan.

Ye Zhinan looked at the back of the two of them leaving with a sad face, and the housekeeper also looked at "Second Miss, I'll go find the master"

Ye Ruotang's hand was slightly sweaty in the man's wide palm, because the man had been holding a sword all the year round, his palm had already had calluses, and Ye Ruotang was happy to clasp it, which made the man a little itchy.

Ye He saw Mu Yuyan from a distance and greeted him, and saluted, "General Ning Yuan"

Mu Yuyan nodded slightly, "Lord Ye doesn't have to be so polite, just call me by my name."

"The people's women participate in General Ning Yuan" Li leaned over slightly.

Mu Yuyan only said lightly "um"

"Father, second aunt" said that he didn't want to see this Li family, but he still had the etiquette that should be there on the surface.

A few people sat down, but the Li family was looking around, and they didn't see Ye Zhinan for a long time, thinking that they just said that they were going to see Ye Ruotang, and now Ye Ruotang is here, but she doesn't see her figure, isn't something wrong?

Li asked with a smile, "Ruotang, have you seen Zhinan?" ”

Ye Ruotang said at this time, "Second sister, I am kneeling at the door of Tangyuan at this moment."

"What?" Li Shi slapped the table when he heard this, but as soon as he saw the man's cold face, he instantly lowered his head, "There is a fly on this table, just now" pretended to raise his hand and waved it a few times in the air, "Ruotang, you just said that Nan is kneeling at the gate of Tangyuan now, why?" ”

Ye He on the side did not have any waves on his face, Xu knew his daughter's temper, and when he saw Ye Ruotang going back, he went to find trouble and met General Ning Yuan.

"Fang Cai, the second sister accidentally said the wrong thing, so she knelt at the door by herself" At the end, he said, "I didn't make the second sister kneel, Ah Yan can testify"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Hecong's eyes were frequently sideways, and Li also closed his mouth in time, he couldn't afford to provoke the person in front of him.

"Zhinan is anxious, I'll talk about her when I turn back."

Mu Yuyan took a sip of the soup, it was very delicious, "Go and let her get up"

When General Ning Yuan spoke, Li left the banquet with a smile, and the moment he turned around, his face became gloomy and terrifying.

Although the sun on this spring day was not strong, it shone on Ye Zhinan's delicate skin, and it suddenly turned red.

Li trotted all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of this Tang Garden, he really saw Ye Zhinan, and immediately rushed up to help the girl up, "Nan'er"

As soon as Ye Zhinan saw Li, his eyes were red, as if he had been wronged by all kinds of "mothers"

Because he had been kneeling for a long time, his legs had lost any sensation, and Ye Zhinan sat on the ground for a while before recovering his strength.

Li helped Ye Zhinan to his plum garden, and found an ointment to reduce swelling and rubbed it on the girl.

"What the hell is going on? Why did you still offend General Ning Yuan? ”

"I just said two words about Ye Ruotang, who would have thought that General Ning Yuan would suddenly come out from behind"

Li Shi stretched out his index finger and poked the girl's head fiercely, "How many times have I told you, don't provoke that girl, you just don't listen"

"Mother, I just can't get used to Ye Ruotang, why can she be loved by General Ning Yuan?"

Li Shi looked at the girl's red and swollen legs, and felt very distressed, so he rubbed the ointment and blew it gently, "Does it hurt?" ”

Ye Zhinan's eyes were red, he had been held in the palm of his hand by the Li family since he was a child, when had he been so wronged?

"Mother, you see that Ye Ruotang has General Ning Yuan to support her, and her arrogant appearance, I am afraid that I will not take my mother in my eyes in the future"

Li's face sank, his hand rubbing the medicine paused slightly, and patted Ye Zhinan's hand, "Don't worry, it won't be long before you are proud."

"What does Mother think?"

"We can't clean her up, someone else will clean her up"

"Who?"

“..............”

Cold Palace

Concubine De sat at the foot of the bed with a messy green silk, curled herself up in a ball, the doors and windows in the hall were tightly closed, and a layer of cloth was covered on them, so as not to let a trace of sunlight penetrate in, and a musty smell could be faintly smelled.

Concubine De sometimes cried, sometimes laughed, sometimes muttered to herself, because her voice was too quiet to hear what she was saying.

"Niangniang, it's time to eat" Qing'er knocked softly on the door with a bowl of bland porridge.

There was no movement in the middle of the night.

Qing'er didn't care much, opened the door and walked in, there was no light inside, it was pitch black, and it took a long time to get used to it before I could barely see it.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, where are you? Sissy"

After a while, there was a coughing sound from the foot of the bed, Qing'er put the porridge on the table, walked over with the sound, and touched the cold hands, and was really startled "Niangniang" got up and went to light the candle, the dim candlelight reflected on Concubine De's pale face, which was a little crazy.

Seeing this, Qing'er felt sour in her heart, "Niangniang, it's time to eat"

Concubine De looked to the side, "It's like this every day, why can't he give me a cup of poisoned wine and let me die a happy death?"

Qing'er's tears flowed out in an instant, "Niangniang, for the sake of the eldest prince, you have to live well"

"How is Ling Feng doing now?" As soon as Concubine De heard Mu Lingfeng, she hurriedly grabbed Qing'er's hand, and her hands trembled slightly.

"I've only heard ..........."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the cold palace was unlocked.

Qing'er was busy wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes and helped Concubine De up.

The queen came in slowly with the help of Qin'er, and as soon as she came in, she covered her nose and frowned, "This cold palace is even more deserted than I imagined."

"And what else are you going to do?"

"Come and see my sister"

Concubine De sneered, "Seeing my current appearance, the queen mother is afraid that she will wake up laughing when she is dreaming, right?" ”

The queen pretended to be frightened: "Sister, what are you talking about?" But Hongu doesn't know."

Concubine De stood up, walked up to the queen, and looked at her condescendingly, "Outsiders know that your queen mother is kind-hearted, easy-going, and lazy to care about the disputes in this harem." But I don't know that your mind is the calmest, like a poisonous snake, and if you bite it, it will kill that person."

"Hehehe," the queen laughed after hearing this, "Sister, are you joking?" ”

"You did the Liu family's business, right?" Concubine De lost the patience to deal with her and got straight to the point.

This queen didn't hide it, "Do you think that the Liu family made weapons privately, and the emperor didn't know?" ”

Concubine De raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at the queen, "All this is what the emperor meant?" ”

The queen stopped talking, and asked Qin'er to put the wine in her hand on the table, "The emperor recently recruited a new nobleman, and stayed in Chuxiu Palace day and night, it seems that he has completely forgotten us old people" and let out a long sigh.

"The queen just locked her sister in this cold palace, just to leave her sister with the last trace of face, otherwise according to the emperor's temperament, she will definitely punish the nine clans"

"This Forbidden City, as many people want to get out, as many people want to come in......."

Concubine De looked at the figure of the queen, and suddenly felt that the only person in the harem who was alive and awake was the person in front of her, and looked at the wine on the table, which was a wine glass carved with plum blossoms, which was also her favorite plum blossom.

After the queen left, Concubine De asked Qing'er to bring her favorite dress to the bed and freshen up, she was still the dazzling Concubine De from before.

Qing'er was still in the middle and stopped it, so Concubine De took the wine glass on the table and drank it all, this wine was so poisonous that in an instant, the internal organs seemed to dig out the heart.

Later, the queen heard that Concubine De had not been able to close her eyes until she died.
