Qinse's hand holding the stove trembled violently, and the stove almost fell.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten..."

Muttering the words of Momiji, his gaze gradually became a little glazed.

Seeing this, Hongye's frozen red fluttering little hand hurriedly held Qin Se's hand, "Niangniang, be careful of the stove." ”

After placing the stove, he withdrew his hand and rubbed his hands, afraid that his cold hands would freeze the piano.

"... Now... What to do? ”

Momiji looked at Qin Se with a blank face, he had already lost his master.

Qin Se lowered his eyes to look at Momiji who was kneeling beside him, his dull gaze gradually came back to his senses, and he reached out tremblingly to caress Momiji's cheek.

"It's okay... Wait... Wait..."

"Mother, what are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the situation..."

When the situation is clear, she will know what to do next?

Whether you want to compromise or go against the current, you have to look at the current situation in the harem and the struggle between the emperor and the ruler.

Hongye was puzzled, but when he heard Qin Se say so firmly, he was also a little relieved, "Niangniang, when will the situation come?" ”

Qin Se responded in a daze, but a few hints of determination flashed in her pupils, "It's almost ... After the eldest princess is buried or the next winter solstice, the situation will be clear... You and I may have a little chance to turn around. ”

Momiji let out an "um" and nodded heavily.

I was also thinking about when to go to Kunning Palace to pay respects, so that the Queen Mother could be more appeased and Spring Palace.

"Momiji..."

"Huh?"

"The eldest princess was buried, and the whole country mourned. Don't run out of here these days. ”

Hongye sighed, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, the slave understands."

Qin Se lowered her eyes and glanced at Momiji, and sighed lightly, Momiji was lively and active, often sneaking out to play with the Spring Palace, although she knew, she never said much, and never even asked her where she went.

It's just that the days after that will be different... The phoenix that landed on the ground is not as good as a chicken, not to mention that she is not a phoenix, she is just a bird thinking about her minions.

"Go out less and be more patient in everything. Although it's a little boring to stay in the spring palace, it's always safe. ”

Momiji's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he suddenly understood, and then responded, "The slave understands." Please rest assured. ”

Qin Se let out a "hmm", and didn't ask too much, just lit it, looked at the flickering candle flame, and his body became more and more tired.

"It's not too early, go to bed early."

"Yes."

Momiji respectfully served Qin Se to bed, and only after he fell asleep did he tiptoe out and go back to his room.

The news of the eldest princess's death was not concealed, and it was announced early the next morning.

Although the emperor and the eldest princess are not compatriots, the queen mother only has two heirs, the emperor and the eldest princess, so the eldest princess can be regarded as the emperor's eldest sister in name, and the two have always had excellent external relations.

Along with the white cloth hung in the harem, the concubines all wore plain clothes, wore simple jewelry, and Qin Se practiced well, the queen mother overnight, the brilliance was lost, and the whole person aged a lot.

The ambitions of the past have also disappeared, as if the soul has been drained, and only a shell immersed in sorrow remains.

After the funeral of the eldest princess, the queen mother did not want to stay in the palace anymore, so she resigned with the emperor and went to the temple to practice, praying for the eldest princess, praying for the blessing of the Great Wei, praying for the blessing of the people of the world, and praying for the emperor.

The emperor kept him many times to no avail, so he let the queen mother leave, and when the queen mother left, she chatted with Qin Se for a while, and she didn't say much, but they were all Dun Dun's teachings.

The eldest princess passed away, the queen mother left the palace, and the once-prosperous Xu family gradually had a sign of decay.

The Xu family is prosperous, with the blessing of the eldest princess and the queen mother, and the young and subordinate Chang'an leaders, Xu Sangongzi, as well as a few military generals and several ministers; The Xu family is in decline, the Xu family has a great career, and the children and grandchildren are full, but there are many children and gentlemen, mediocre and incompetent.

The Xu family has a majority of men, but few women, and once sent one or two concubines in the palace, but they were pampered and couldn't adapt to the harem, and they were defeated early. This made the eldest princess choose a dancing girl to enter the palace as a concubine, which became the eyeliner of his Xu family.

Qin Se is lucky and unlucky, from the beginning of the relationship with the Xu family, now that the eldest princess is not there, Qin Se has naturally become a pawn of the Xu family.

A pawn at the mercy of a pawn.

Red leaves stood outside the curtain motionless and looked at the Qin Se who knelt under the statue of Guanyin to worship the Buddha and burn paper, this is the temple, Qin Se came with the Queen Mother, but it was just a send-off, Qin Se said that it was to pray for the dragon in the womb, and the emperor did not say anything more, but just increased the number of people and horses to follow, I am afraid that something will happen.

It wasn't until Qin Se was about to get up that the expression on Momiji's face was a little moved. hurriedly went up the mountain to support Qin Se.

By the way, he glanced at the closed door.

"..."

Qin Se sat on the round stool next to him, rubbed his somewhat red and swollen knees, and comforted him softly, "It's okay."

"Niangniang, why did you suddenly remember to burn paper money in the room? But burn it to the eldest princess? ”

After Momiji helped Qin Se to sit down, he picked up the burning brazier and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qin Se shook his head gently, "No, it's also in such a late autumn season when the Hanlin Bachelor's Mansion is full of people. ”

Hongye was shocked when he heard this, and the iron basin that he had just picked up fell to the ground with a "bang", and the black confetti in it was raised to the ground, and Hongye was shocked, and hurriedly squatted down and picked up the iron basin.

Who knew that subconsciously at the end of the hand, the hand pad that was not taken well was hot, and Hongye hurriedly withdrew his hand, gasped, and tears swirled in his eyes.

"... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Slave and maid, just clean it up..."

The nervousness and the words were a little trembling.

Qin Se sighed lightly, so much that she never thought that her casual words would scare this little girl, frowned slightly, and beckoned to the red leaves, "It's out of the way... You come here..."

Momiji bit her lip lightly and obediently walked around the confetti.

"..."

"Out of the way... You are also unintentional, come... Let the main palace take a look, but it's hot? ”

Qin Se said softly with relief, for fear of scaring Momiji again.

Momiji snorted, hid his hand behind his head, and shook his head vigorously, "Niangniang, the slave is not in the way... The slave is out of the way, the slave really didn't mean it... Not really..."

She didn't know why, she actually dropped the iron basin down, this is a big disrespect, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

My body trembled a little.
