The garden of Anhua Hall is much larger than that of Baiyu Palace, and there is a pavilion, although it is snowing outside, Yue'er is in the pavilion to press her legs and box, play the piano and write.

In the afternoon, Lan Qiu suddenly went to the dormitory to report to Yue'er.

"Niangniang, Jing Guiyi came to ask to see, do you see it or not?"

Yue'er was holding Master Ze's draft in the study.

Rudong stood beside Yue'er and said, "What is she doing, I don't see it, I don't see it!" ”

Lan Qiu answered, and was about to turn around, Yue'er said: "Where is the guest hall, please wait for me there, and I will change my clothes and come." ”

"Yes, the place where Anhua Hall meets guests is either the Plum Blossom Hall or the study here, where do you meet her?"

"Then the Plum Blossom Palace."

"Yes, the Plum Blossom Hall is next door, and the villain has already cleaned it in the morning-"

"Okay, there you go."

Lan Qiu bowed and left, Ru Dong snorted: "Lin Zhaoyi wants to harm you, she neither reminded nor stopped her, this kind of person should stay away!" ”

Yue'er shook her head.

"No, I haven't been favored yet, there are a lot of rumors in the palace, it's better to be careful."

A moment later, Yue'er came to the Plum Blossom Hall.

Jing Guiyi stood there cautiously, she was wearing a green gown with big sleeves today, her face was completely plain, she looked very pale, and only a silver hairpin was inserted in her bun.

As soon as Jing Guiyi saw Yue'er, she immediately stepped forward to bow down.

"The concubine sees the concubine Niangniang, may the Niangniang be blessed and healthy, and her youth will be forever."

Yue'er stepped forward to help.

"Sister doesn't have to be polite."

Jing Guiyi wanted to cry, and said pitifully: "Sister, you must help me." ”

At this time, Ji Hong had already served tea, and Yue'er said secretly: "Jing Guiyi's two palace maids are very well-behaved, is she here to ask for someone?" ”

Seeing the two of them sitting down, Lan Qiu knew each other very well, she pulled Rudong, and the two retreated outside the hall.

Only Yue'er and Jing Guiyi were left in the hall.

"If my sister has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, if my sister can help, I will definitely help you."

Jing Guiyi nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

"Sister, sister, please, you must help me say good things in front of the emperor."

"This-"

Yue'er was a little embarrassed.

"Last time Lin Zhaoyi wanted to harm you, my sister specially asked you to remind you first, you can't forget this favor."

Yue'er was a little displeased.

"Then they are going to throw me into the ditch with the imperial chariot, my sister won't know, right?"

Jing Guiyi sighed and said, "She, she is so vicious?" Then he pretended to be helpless and said: "I only know that she wants to deal with you, but I don't dare to say it, they will harm me if I say it!" ”

Yue'er shook her head and said, "My sister didn't mean to blame my sister, but I don't know, why does the emperor embarrass my sister?" ”

Jing Guiyi said fearfully: "Your Majesty has put me and Chen Jieyu in the same category, Chu Meiren was arrested by Zongzheng Mansion a few days ago, maybe he will come to arrest me in two days!" ”

Yue'er comforted: "Sister, don't guess, the three of them are the three demons of the harem, everyone knows that you and them are not in the same group." ”

"Yes, if it's just Chen Jieyu suing the prince, then I will be punished for moving to the Lin Palace, but Lin Zhaoyi broke into too much trouble yesterday, she, she actually burned the Tibetan Painting Pavilion, the emperor must be furious, if she enters the Zongzheng Mansion, my sister is afraid that she won't be able to get out!"

Speaking of this, Jing Guiyi's tears fell.

Yue'er said helplessly: "The emperor doesn't have many opportunities to come to me, and besides, I told him directly that it is impossible for him to spare you." ”

"No, no, you must help me, now the only one in the palace who can save me is my sister!"

"Why?"

Jing Guiyi grabbed Yue'er's hand and held it tightly.

"Sister, the emperor's favorite is calligraphy and painting, you can do what you like, you can win the favor without going to bed, you must know that the emperor has only taken a few concubines to the Imperial Painting Academy, Lin Zhaoyi has been there a few times, but she doesn't know how to paint, like the queen and the virtuous concubine, they have only been there once."

"But I don't know how to draw?"

"Yes, so many people speculate behind their backs that it is impossible for you to get the emperor's real favor, but sister, I don't see it that way."

"Why?"

"I heard that you brought back a draft of the album from the Imperial Painting Academy, this is a groundbreaking thing, that Master Ze is the emperor's most respected painter, he admires you so much, you will definitely be able to capture the heart of the saint!"

Yue'er Qi said: "What, you even know Master Ze, how did you know about yesterday's incident?" ”

Jing Guiyi was a little embarrassed.

"It was Concubine Hui who told me quietly."

"Oh, Concubine Hui, did she ask you to beg me?"

"Yes, yes, she's my cousin, but she won't help me this time."

Yue'er overheard Jing Guiyi and Concubine Hui in Kunxi Hall and wanted to deal with Lin Zhaoyi, it turned out that they were relatives, she pondered for a moment and said, "I can help you find a chance to try, if you can't help, then there is no way." ”

"Sister, you are now liked by the emperor, but who knows what will happen after a while, the so-called people have no long-term worries, as long as you help me, Concubine Hui and I can also help you in the future, besides, now the queen wants to deal with you."

Yue'er was taken aback.

"The queen wants to deal with me, who do you listen to?"

"You don't know, last night Yu Shanggong broke into the palace of many concubines to inspect, asking everyone to be okay and not to walk around, this is clearly a warning!"

Yue'er sighed, no wonder no one has come to the door to congratulate today, it turned out that everyone received a warning from the queen, and the queen used Lin Zhaoyi to take perilla incense in Chunnuan Pavilion to make a fuss.

"Then you dare to come to me?"

"If my sister doesn't come, she can only wait to be sent down, so even if the queen blames her, there is nothing she can do."

"The emperor was furious yesterday about the Tibetan Painting Pavilion, so my sister didn't dare to admonish him on the fire."

Seeing Yue'er repeatedly refusing to help, Jing Guiyi's hand suddenly tightened.

"No, sister, you must be able to help, if you don't help me, then, then my sister will be sorry for my sister!"

Yue'er was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Sister, my sister saw the forbidden things in the palace under your pillow that day, if Zongzheng Mansion arrested me, my sister really can't promise not to say it."

Yue'er immediately understood that she was hiding two flying knives or was discovered by Jing Guiyi, and now she actually used this to blackmail herself, she was immediately furious, and with a force in her hand, she held Jing Guiyi's hand and clicked.

Jing Guiyi sighed, and her body bowed forward in pain, she didn't expect Yue'er's hand to be so strong.

"Sister, what do you think I have forbidden?"

"What's there, you, you know for yourself."

"I said, I'll try, but you don't want to use this to blackmail this palace!"

"No, it's not a threat, it's just a request."

At this time, Jing Guiyi curled up on the ground in pain, Yue'er sneered, and said: "If you catch a thief, you want to catch stolen goods, you want to slander me now without any evidence, you can try it!" She shook her hands, threw Jing Guiyi out, and shouted outside: "Lan Qiu, send off!" ”

Jing Guiyi squatted on the ground and gasped in pain, she understood that Yue'er must have lost the two flying knives, and she couldn't imagine that she would not only not get help, but also offended Concubine Duan.

The door of the hall opened, Lan Qiu walked in, she saw that the former master seemed to be kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Yue'er, she was taken aback, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she only made a gesture of invitation.

Jing Guiyi looked at Yue'er pleadingly.

"Concubine Duanniang, you must have pity on me, I really don't want to blackmail you!"

Yue'er waved her hand, and then thought that if she didn't help her, she would offend Concubine Hui, so she glanced at Lan Qiu at the moment, and said in a slow tone: "I said that I would help you try, as for whether Your Majesty is gracious or not, there is really no guarantee." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you Duanfei, thank you Duanfei!"

Jing Guiyi retreated and bowed repeatedly, Lan Qiu sighed lightly, and a look of compassion appeared on her face.

At dusk, a eunuch came to pass on the message of Xuanling, and the emperor was going to come to Anhua Hall tonight to spend the night and let Yue'er sleep.

This news was like a thunderbolt, and Yue'er was stunned for a moment, she was going to bed tonight, but she was not ready.

Rudong was also shocked and discolored, because she knew that Yue'er was still a virgin, and once the emperor found out that she was a fake, everything would be dangerous.
