When I looked up again and lifted the curtains, the carriage had already left the bustling street and drove to the outskirts of the capital.

Tilt Yan lifted the curtain again, looking out the window at the snow and the wide sky.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Although the emperor sent 5,000 royal guards to guard her.

But as soon as you leave the palace, it seems that even the air is much fresher.

She is like a canary in a cage, and the palace is the cage that imprisons her.

Now that I have left the palace, although there is the sorrow of parting, it is more of a sense of relief.

In the following days, even the Tilting Medical Pavilion, the common people, and the medical children all over the world interceded for Tilting Yan, opposing the emperor's removal of Tilting Yan's position as the head of the Pavilion, and opposing the emperor's demotion of Tilting Yan's position.

Even some of the concubines in the palace interceded for the court.

However, it was useless at all, and Emperor Beilin remained indifferent.

Longquan Villa's face, the steward asked her to choose a favorite palace as a residence.

So she chose a temple near the mountains and rivers to live in.

He also let the minions at the bottom set up a shed in the backyard and planted cabbage, Chinese cabbage, radish, celery, garlic sprouts, chrysanthemum and other greenhouse vegetables.

At the same time, she still wrote to Sizi, hoping to contact her brothers.

However, she wrote three letters in a row, and each letter was lost in the same way as before.

The letter tied to the pigeon's paw was gone, but he never received a reply from his brothers.

At the beginning of December, Emperor Beilin made Concubine Zhen a noble concubine a few days before the expedition and held a canonization ceremony.

For a while, everyone in the palace said that the era of the concubine had passed, and the era of the precious concubine was about to begin!

On this day, Wenhua Palace.

Concubine Wen copied Buddhist scriptures in the inner room.

The personal palace maid came back from outside and lit sandalwood for Concubine Wen.

While copying the Buddhist scriptures, Concubine Wen asked, "The congratulatory gifts prepared by the palace can be sent to the precious concubine?" ”

The palace maid responded, "Back to the mother's words, the congratulatory gift was sent to Yanxi Palace, don't you know, the precious concubine sat in the position of the concubine, and on the day of the canonization, she actually said that she didn't care about the position of the concubine at all, and she was so angry, those concubines in the harem had itchy teeth." ”

"The concubines next to the people have been fighting for so many years, but they can't climb the position of the concubine, some are still staying below the concubine, her precious concubine has not been in the palace for a few months, this has become a concubine, it is the height that those concubines have been unable to reach for many years, and the precious concubine still talks like this, can she not attract hatred?"

Concubine Wen: "I think it's the right time for the precious concubine to appear." ”

The palace maid was puzzled: "Just the right time to appear?" ”

Concubine Wen: "When the precious concubine appeared by the emperor's side when she was a child, it was the right time. Now that the north is in peace, it is also the right time to appear by the emperor's side. ”

And she and the harem concubines don't seem to be at the right time.

Some of them appeared at the wrong time, either died in the palace fight, or were left out of favor in the cold.

The palace maid nodded as if she didn't understand, "Then the concubine was pregnant with the emperor's heir, and the emperor also moved her to Longquan Villa, and it was not the right time for her to appear, so she fell out of favor?" ”

Hearing this, Concubine Wen's writing hand paused slightly.

After pondering for a moment, she said: "It's not the right time for the women of the harem to appear, and it's not the right time for her to fall into the concubine." ”

"Longquan Villa is the emperor's Zhuangzi every year to avoid the cold, even if the emperor is not in Zhuangzi, then Zhuangzi originally had thousands of guards, and now the emperor has sent 5,000 imperial forest troops over, adding up to tens of thousands of troops."

Concubine Wen raised her head, "Think about it, if it is really an abandoned concubine who has fallen out of favor, it is worth the emperor's attention to enter the cold palace casually?" ”

"Over the years, the concubine has been favored, in addition to her own reasons, her mother's Xizi country also accounts for a large part of the reason, and now the northern border country is at war with the Xizi country, which is equivalent to the concubine's backer is about to fall, plus she is pregnant, isn't it difficult to walk an inch in the harem, like walking on thin ice?"

"According to the palace, the emperor degraded the position of the concubine, firstly, in order to check and balance the group of doctors who quit the Tilting Medical Pavilion, and secondly, he deliberately confused the harem, but in fact, before he personally conquered, he gave the concubine a treasure land for a safe birth."

"Perhaps... It's not just to confuse the harem, when this limelight passes, the concubine gives birth to the prince, and this blessing is great! ”

Palace maid: "What about the precious concubine, could it be that the emperor deliberately created the illusion that she was favored and used to block the concubine?" ”

"I don't think so." Concubine Wen Guifei shook her head, "On the contrary, it is more like the emperor is afraid that the precious concubine will be bullied by the palace and the harem, so he gave her a high position to sit." ”

"Besides, hasn't the emperor kept using the concubines next to him to contain the palace all these years?"

Palace maid: "......"

Also, in recent years, the harem always says that the iron is the Wen concubine and the flowing water concubine.

No matter how well the master has done all these years, the emperor will never let the master alone dominate the harem.

Now that the concubine has come down from the position of the concubine, the emperor naturally has to raise a concubine to balance the master.

Palace maid: "But speaking of which, could it be that the emperor has affection for both the concubine and the precious concubine?" Why are slaves and maids becoming more and more incomprehensible? ”

"Speaking of which, the palace is becoming more and more incomprehensible to the emperor, maybe these two people have a certain place in the emperor's heart." Concubine Wen's voice was lazy, "By the way, what's the situation on Concubine Tilt's side?" ”

Palace maid: "Concubine Dumping is now leading people to farm in Longquan Villa." ”

Wen Guifei: "In this winter, there is snow everywhere, what can you plant?" ”

Palace maid: "It is said that she asked people to build a shed, which can keep out the snow and the temperature is suitable for growing vegetables." ”

This time, Wen Guifei nodded as if she didn't understand, "I see." ”

Palace maid: "By the way, recently, the eldest prince and the third prince went to Zhuangzi to visit the eldest princess and the concubine." ”

Concubine Wen raised her eyebrows in some surprise at first.

Then he lowered his head and wrote, and said with a loving smile: "The eldest prince has always been a filial and grateful person, and he has always kept it in mind when the concubine saved his life, and he has taken care of the eldest princess's sister." ”

"Now that the concubine is like this, it is normal for him to visit."

The palace maid saw that Concubine Wen had copied the Buddhist scriptures again, so she persuaded: "Niangniang, you got up before dawn to copy the Buddhist scriptures, why don't you take a break?" ”

"How can that work?" Concubine Wen replied lightly: "The emperor will be in person in a few days, and the palace will copy more Buddhist scriptures to pray for the emperor and the soldiers." ”

When the palace maid heard this, she had to sigh in her heart.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why can't you see the good of your master?

------

The eighth day of December was the day before Emperor Beilin's expedition.

On this day, Tanyan commanded the palace maids and eunuchs in the backyard to plant vegetables, fence piles, drive vegetable sheds, and renovate the residence where Zhuangzi lived.

In Qianyan's opinion, regardless of her past life or this life, she has lived a rich enough life.

Now, she wants to live a simple life.

In these ancient times, especially in the imperial palace, it was much more difficult to live simply than to live richly.

Therefore, she cherishes such a simple day very much.

Now she is pregnant, and she is still in the first trimester of danger.

Yes, she couldn't do a lot of heavy work.

Even if it was a relatively simple job, those minions rushed to do it, as if they were afraid that she would bump into it.

Even something as fun as cooking food, Aunt Qin and the others didn't let it.

Every time she only needs to do some work, they don't persuade her much, anyway, she just kneels on the ground and can't get up, so she can't do anything at all.

At dusk, I went into the greenhouse to see the growth of vegetable seedlings and pondered the food tonight.

When she saw the little cabbage growing green, she couldn't help but squat down and pluck a little cabbage, "This little cabbage grows well, let's have a stir-fried cabbage tonight." ”

However, she only squatted down and plucked a few little cabbages, and Xiaolian helped her up.

Aunt Qin squatted down directly and said: "Niangniang, let the slave and maid come to this kind of rough work, you go back to the house to rest, and I will hand over the plucked cabbage to the kitchen in a while, and let the cook fry it." ”

"Okay." Qian Yan was helped out of the greenhouse by Xiaolian in this way.

As a result, she walked out of the shed and bumped into an inky figure head-on.

Yan Yan was stunned in place, looking at the uninvited guest in front of him.
