There was a knock at the door, followed by Zhang Ruo's voice.

Yun Rongjue's eyes slowly sank, straightened up, and responded.

Zhang Ruo pushed the door in, holding a mahogany lacquer plate in his hand, "Your Highness, it's late at night, Your Highness hasn't slept yet, the concubine has made some porridge and side dishes, Your Highness can use some." ”

"You have a heart, but this temple is not hungry, so take it back."

Zhang Ruo's eyes rolled, and she didn't force Yun Rongjue, she spoke again: "Then does Your Highness want to sleep in peace?" It's better to go to the concubine's Qixia Garden, and the concubine will wait for His Royal Highness. ”

Jiang Wu stood beside him, listening to Zhang Ruoruo's words with his eyes and nose.

"No need, the main hall is staying here today, if it's okay, you can retreat." Yun Rongjue said.

"But Your Highness ......"

Yun Rongjue's eyes were obviously impatient, "What?" ”

"On the wedding night, His Royal Highness went to the princess's Suxue Pavilion, which is right, but these days, His Royal Highness has not stepped into the concubine's Qixia Garden, isn't it ......?"

Yun Rongjue looked at Zhang Ruo with deep eyes, and her voice raised slightly, "Does Concubine Zhang know what kind of place this place is?" ”

Zhang Ruo was slightly stunned, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"Tell us where this place is."

Zhang Ruo blinked, "It's Lin'an Palace." ”

"It turns out that Concubine Zhang also knows that this is the Lin'an Palace, not the Zhang Mansion, nor the Concubine Zhang's Mansion." Yun Rongjue voiced slowly.

Zhang Ruo's face changed slightly, and he heard Yun Rongjue say: "This is the mansion of the main hall, where the main hall wants to stay, does it also have to be approved by Concubine Zhang?" ”

Zhang Ruo panicked and shook his head again and again, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

The slight seriousness on Yun Rongjue's face dissipated, and he said lightly to Zhang Ruo: "It's not early, you go back and rest early." ”

Zhang Ruo didn't dare to say anything more, and left the room after answering.

Zhang Ruo left, Jiang Wu looked at Yun Rongjue's pink lips and moved, "Does Your Highness really want to stay here today?" ”

The man stretched out his long arm and grabbed her slender waist, "Sister, is this going to drive the main hall away?" ”

Jiang Wu shook his head, "The slave doesn't dare, it's just ......"

Before she finished speaking, Yun Rongjue sealed her lips with her fingertips, "If my sister really wants to push the main hall to other women, then the main hall will fulfill my sister, and my sister really wants to go to other women in this hall?" Well? ”

Jiang Wuyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was speechless for a long time.

The little girl's emotions were on her face, and Yun Rongjue smiled, "Sister doesn't want to, right?" ”

She was silent.

Yun Rongjue's lips smiled a lot, stood up, took her hand and walked towards the inner room, "The main hall is tired, and my sister is waiting for the main hall to sleep." ”

Early the next morning.

Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo were summoned to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

When Chu Yin saw the two of them, he put away the indifference on his face and gossiped with them.

"The two of you are waiting for Jue'er together, Jue'er's child has a weird temperament since he was a child, and his mind is not easy to figure out, so you should pay more attention." Chu Yin said.

"What the Queen Mother said is that the concubine will serve Her Highness wholeheartedly." Jiang Sumo replied.

Jiang Sumo's words fell, Zhang Ruo took over, "The Queen Mother can rest assured, His Royal Highness is not easy to ponder, but the princess's sister is deeply favored by His Royal Highness, at this point, the concubine is ashamed, it is not as good as the sister, although the concubine and the princess's sister are in the palace together, but Her Royal Highness loves the princess's sister, and often stays in Suxue Pavilion, even if she does not stay in Suxue Pavilion, she is also in her own house, accompanied by a maidservant." ”

Jiang Sumo glanced at Zhang Ruo.

Chu Yin held the tea bowl, the tea lid played with the tea leaves in the bowl, then took a sip, put it down, and looked at Jiang Sumo, "Su Mo, as the princess, you can love Jue'er and mourn the family, but the princess has the responsibility of the princess, and it is also one of the responsibilities of the princess to persuade His Royal Highness, Jue'er is used to doing whatever she wants, and there is a quite favored maid by her side, which is not a big matter, but when necessary, the princess still has to remind and remind His Highness, can you know?" ”

Jiang Su Mo lowered his eyes and bowed his head, "The concubine understands that she will be scrupulous and advise His Highness." ”

Chu Yin grinned, and then pushed Jiang Sumo out.

"What do you have to say here, it's going to change." Chu Yin said.

Zhang Ruo pursed her lips, "The Queen Mother, if you are not a concubine, you want to do a lot of things, but Your Highness is ...... The attitude towards concubines is much colder than that of the princess. ”

"You are the person chosen by the mourning family for His Highness, Princess, it was His Highness who chose it himself, and the two of you are in different positions in His Highness's heart, which is normal." Chu Yin said.

Although Chu Yin said the truth, it pierced Zhang Ruo's heart.

"This concubine knows it, and she doesn't want to compete with the princess, but His Royal Highness is ...... The wedding night is to stay in Suxue Pavilion, until now, His Royal Highness has either stayed in Suxue Pavilion, or in his own courtyard, accompanied by Jiang Wu, and has never stepped into the concubine's Qixia Garden. ”

Chu Yin flicked the hand of the chessboard chess pieces for a moment, turned his eyes leisurely, and looked at Zhang Ruo, "You mean, Your Highness has never touched you so far?" ”

Zhang Ruo felt embarrassed and nodded lightly.

"Useless stuff." Chu Yin reprimanded in displeasure.

"The Queen Mother is angry, it is useless if Ruo'er is useless, but if Her Royal Highness doesn't go to the concubine, the concubine can't do anything." Zhang Ruo said.

Chu Yin threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, "The mourning family heard that early the morning after the wedding, you made a fuss in the palace and embarrassed Jiang Wu's girl. ”

Zhang Ruo pouted, "Yes, the Queen Mother, the concubine just wants to give that girl some warnings, although she is serving His Royal Highness, but after all, she is just a slave girl, do not suppress and suppress her heart, I am afraid that her eyes will grow on the top of her head in the future." ”

"You want to suppress her, the mourning family has no objection, but you have to learn to use skill and act recklessly, what do you think you can get?" Chu Yin said.

"If you are stupid, I hope the Queen Mother will give you advice."

After Chu Yin and Zhang Ruo talked a lot, they sent Zhang Ruo away, Zhang Ruo left, she sighed, "This girl is not stupid, but there is always a recklessness." ”

"The Queen Mother mentioned Concubine Zhang, and I think Concubine Zhang will know what to do in the future."

Chu Yin nodded lightly, "She is different from Zhuo Ke, since she was a family, she has been accustomed to poetry, books and etiquette since she was a child, as long as you don't act impulsively, everything is easy to say." ”

Caitang smiled and handed the new tea to Chu Yin, who took it, fiddled with the tea lid, and thought of something, "By the way, did Lord Xiao enter the palace today." ”

"Hui Niangniang, yes, I should still be talking to the emperor at this hour."

Chu Yin's eyes softened, and he instructed Caitang, "You go and send the tonic that the emperor gave to the mourning family to nourish the body to Lord Xiao." ”

"Mother, this ......"

"What are you talking about, go quickly, remember to find a better one." Chu Yin said.

"Yes."

……

Auxiliary Clothing Bureau.

Jiang Yuyan came out of the auxiliary clothing bureau with the sorted clothes, and when he was halfway through, he saw a very majestic man walking towards him. Everyone around her avoided aside, knelt down and came over, and she didn't dare to be negligent, holding her clothes and kneeling to the side.

"See the Emperor."

Yun Feng doesn't come to Lingxiao Palace often, but he occasionally comes to find Yun Zhao.

Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes, and the shadow pressed over, and just as the shadow was about to pass by her side, she suddenly stopped.

Yun Feng's eyes looked around, and his nose moved, as if he was sniffing something.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" The official next to him asked.

"It's such a fresh fragrance, where did it come from?"

As soon as Yun Feng's words came out, the palace people on the side moved their noses and sniffed, there was a special aroma.

"Are there any new flowers and plants planted around here?" The inner official asked the palace man next to him.

The palace man shook his head.

Suddenly, Yun Feng's gaze fell on the palace maid beside him, and he slowly approached.

Jiang Yuyan pursed her lips tightly, feeling Yun Feng gradually getting closer, nervous and scared, and many emotions surged up.

"This fragrance seems to come from you." Yun Feng spoke.

"Bold slave, don't tell the truth yet." The internal official scolded.

Jiang Yuyan panicked, "The emperor forgives the sin!" ”

"Don't be in a hurry to confess your sins yet, but the fragrance came from you?" Yun Feng asked.

Jiang Yuyan didn't deny it, nodded and explained.

"Look up, I'll see."

Jiang Yuyan raised his head timidly, and the two met their eyes.

Yun Feng's bland eyes swelled, and his brows unconsciously rose.

……

Jiang Wu was very anxious after hearing about Jiang Yuyan, Yun Rongjue knew that she was in a hurry and allowed her to enter the palace.

After Jiang Wu entered the palace, he went straight to the Auxiliary Clothing Bureau and found Jiang Yuyan.

At this moment, although Jiang Yuyan is still working in the Auxiliary Clothing Bureau, the attitude of the people around her towards her has obviously changed, and she has a lot less work in her hands.

"Sister Yuyan, what's going on." Jiang Wu asked anxiously.

"Xiao Wu, you came to find your sister, you should already know." Jiang Yuyan said lightly.

Jiang Wu nodded subconsciously, and shook his head after a while, "Xiao Wu knows, but Sister Yuyan, do you really want to promise the emperor?!" ”

Jiang Yuyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, "Sister has no right to refuse. ”

Jiang Wu understood what Jiang Yuyan meant, they were slaves in Da Liang, even if they were like her, they raised some identities and got rid of the identity of slaves, but they were just slaves, the so-called slaves and maids were to obey the orders of the master, ordinary slaves and maids did not have the right to refuse the master, let alone them.

Jiang Wu bit her lip, thought for a while, and then said, "Sister Yuyan, Xiao Wu can try to talk to His Highness." ”

"Xiao Wu don't," Jiang Yuyan stopped, "Sister knows that you are for the good of your sister, but my sister doesn't want you to ask His Royal Highness King Lin'an for my sister, although His Royal Highness is fond of you, but if you and His Highness ask for this and that, His Highness will not be happy, and it will drag you down when the time comes." ”

"Sister Yuyan, Xiao Wu is not afraid, Xiao Wu will go back and ask His Highness." She stood up and was about to leave. But as soon as he got up, he was grabbed by Jiang Yuyan.

"Sister Yuyan?" She looked at Jiang Yuyan in amazement.

Jiang Yuyan's face was slightly heavy, "Xiao Wu, this matter ...... Don't meddle, I'm ...... I was also willing. ”

Wang fu.

After Jiang Wu came back from Lingxiao Palace, his whole person has been in poor spirits.

"Still thinking about Jiang Yuyan?" Yun Rongjue asked in a loud voice.

Jiang Wu nodded and informed Yu Yunrongjue of the conversation with Jiang Yuyan. Yun Rongjue's expression was calm after hearing this, and he was not surprised.

"Sister Yuyan said that she was willing, but didn't my sister know that entering the palace to become the emperor's concubine was not necessarily a good thing." Jiang Wu said.

Yun Rongjue listened to the little girl's words, her eyes fell on the orange on the fruit bowl on the table, and then picked one up and slowly peeled it off.

"You also listened to her thoughts, since she doesn't care, it's superfluous for you to worry too much about her, everyone's ideas are different, and the things they want to pursue are different." After he finished speaking, he handed the half-peeled orange to the little girl.

Jiang Wu held the orange in his hand and didn't eat it immediately.

Today, Sister Yuyan told her everything she thought.

Sister Yuyan said that she was willing to enter the palace as a concubine, she said, Nanjiang has been extinguished, they are like duckweed in Daliang, floating uncertainly, being a slave is a way to live, entering the palace as a concubine is also a way to live, entering the palace as a concubine, and can live a better life, and there is no need to look at people's eyes every day......

She understands what Jiang Yuyan said, but it is difficult for her to agree.

"But...... She's my sister. Jiang Wu muffled.

Although Jiang Yuyan and her are not the same father and mother, when they were in Nanjiang, they were one of the few who treated her well, and among the brothers and sisters, only Jiang Yuyan played with her and befriended her.

She didn't want Sister Yuyan to get into trouble.

The incident of the red sleeves before is still vivid.

She doesn't want Sister Yuyan to become the second Red Sleeve!

Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes, and caught a glimpse of the orange that the little girl had been holding and hadn't eaten for half a sound, he reached out and took it, opened one of them, and handed it to the little girl's mouth.

Jiang Wu subconsciously opened his mouth and ate it.

"But you can't change anything." He spoke.

Jiang Wu was slightly stunned and lifted his eyes to look at him. I heard him then say: "Not to mention that no one has stopped the people the emperor has made up his mind to want, your sister has made up her mind, and the emperor also has a mind, both of them have a mind, even if the palace goes to persuade it, it will not help." ”

"Since it is a matter that has already been completed, no matter how worried my sister is, it will only increase her troubles."

Jiang Wu bit the orange in his mouth, and Yun Rongjue's words were reasonable.

She also understands that this is no longer something she can change, but Jiang Yuyan is her sister, and it is impossible for her to be indifferent.

————

As soon as Yun Feng wanted to accept Jiang Yuyan as a concubine, it set off a heated discussion in the harem of the DPRK and China.

Jiang Yuyan's identity is a prisoner, which is too low, and the ministers and several concubines in the harem feel that it is inappropriate, but Yun Feng has made up his mind and does not allow others to say half a point, so he decreed that Jiang Yuyan will be accepted as a concubine and canonized as Yuliangren.

After Jiang Yuyan was promoted to concubine, she abided by her duties, respected the queen and other high-ranking concubines, and routinely persuaded Yunfeng to be wet with rain and dew.

Jiang Yuyan has not become the target of public criticism like the red sleeves, Jiang Wu looked at it, and he was much more relieved.

After the New Year's Festival, it is early spring, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Every year in the early spring, Chu Yin's mood is always very low, she has to worship Yun Rongjin every year, but this year, she didn't do so.

Yun Rongjue noticed that Chu Yin's mood did not seem to be as sad and angry as in previous years, and he was even in the mood to take care of the flowers and plants in Changle Palace.

These changes in Chu Yin, in the eyes of others, only feel that so many years have passed, and the former emperor has also died, she wants to open it.

But Yun Rongjue felt that it was not so simple.

Yun Rongjin's death was a big knot in Chu Yin's heart, and it was also a big scar.

For more than 20 years, this scar has never passed, and now it has suddenly passed, which is inevitably a little unreasonable.

"The queen mother doesn't like to pour these flowers and plants in the past few days, how can she be interested in these two days?" Yun Rongjue looked at Chu Yin and asked.

Chu Yin was in a good mood, bowing his head and swaying, "When the interest comes, it comes, where are so many why." ”

What Chu Yin said was light and light, and Yun Rongjue's eyes were full of confusion.

After a while, Chu Yin stood up, looked at the upside-down flowers and plants, and commanded a few words to the palace people around him.

"The queen mother doesn't seem to have gone to worship her brother this year, and the queen mother has already gone to worship at this time in previous years." He said again.

He saw Chu Yin's eyes pause slightly.

"Is the Queen Mother going to stop worshipping this year?" He asked tentatively again.

After a while, Chu Yin slowly spoke: "Some things, after the past, will pass." ”

"Okay, the palace is tired, you can step down."

Chu Yin's flat tone and evasion made Yun Rongjue even more sure that she had something.

Walking out of Changle Palace, Yun Rongjue walked slowly on the long curved palace road, his eyes lowered, and his heart was heavy.

"Yu Lie, you said that the queen mother suddenly changed, what is the reason?" He spoke softly.

Yu Lie blinked, and he was also surprised by Chu Yin's sudden change, "Perhaps...... It's the Queen Mother who really wants to open it, after all, so many years have passed. ”

Yun Rongjue chuckled, "If she was so easy to think about, she wouldn't have been persistent for more than 20 years." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and his broad hand touched the mouth of his heart.

That year, she held a sharp knife in her hand, and the scene where she plunged the sharp blade into his heart to kill him is still vivid.

After a long time, he slowly retracted his emotions, sighed, and rolled his gaze slightly.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Seeing that Yun Rongjue suddenly stopped, Yu Lie asked.

"That palace maid seems to be a little familiar, you don't look like it's from Changle Palace." Yun Rongjue looked at it.

Yu Lie followed Yun Rongjue's line of sight, and not far away, he saw a palace maid talking to Xiao Qijin, and handed over a bag of things to Xiao Qijin.

"It's a little familiar, but it's not clear if it's from Changle Palace."

"You go check and see if it's true." Yun Rongjue commanded.

In the evening, Yu Lie returned to the mansion and told Yun Rongjue about the investigation.

"She gave Xiao Qijin things again and again, why." Yun Rongjue looked calm.

"The subordinates inquired, it seems that there was a time before the Queen Mother almost fell into the water, it was Lord Xiao who saved the Mother, maybe because of this, the Queen Mother thanked Lord Xiao."

"Even if you want to thank you, you can do it once, including what we saw today, there are twice, once the reward is not enough, and again, right?"

"You find someone to keep an eye on Xiao Qijin." Yun Rongjue said.

"Yes." After Yu Lie responded, he withdrew from the study.

After a while, Yun Rongjue got up and walked straight towards the courtyard.

I didn't see Jiang Wu in the main courtyard house.

"What about Jiang Wu?"

"Back to Your Highness, Xiao Wu is in the back room."

"Call her."

Jiang Wu was summoned to the main courtyard house, "Your Highness, do you have any orders?" ”

Yun Rongjue: "??? ”

"It's late at night, the main hall wants to sleep peacefully, come here."

The little girl walked by, but said, "Is Your Highness still staying here today?" ”

Yun Rongjue looked sideways, "What do you mean by what my sister said?" ”
