If you are tired, you will rest on the man's lap.

At night, the two spread a thin blanket on the open space of the carriage and hugged each other and fell asleep.

Obviously, they have only been alone for three days, but they seem to have taken a big step forward.

Each other, not just the superficial skin to skin, but the body and mind are closer.

Especially the ease and tacit understanding between the two of them, like confidants who have known each other for a long time.

Early the next morning, the carriage entered the outskirts of Beijing.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, he was no longer tired of the emperor, and returned to the same way he came, sitting separately.

At three o'clock, the carriage entered the palace.

When the carriage stopped at the Longxuan Palace, the emperor and Qian Yan got out of the carriage one after another.

After Ying Zhan got out of the carriage, he glanced back at the woman, and he said, "You go back and stay well, I will go to see you when I have time." ”

Looking at the emperor, the man in front of him was long gone.

At this moment, in those mysterious and deep ink pupils, there is no longer gentle affection, there is only his usual indifference and alienation.

Even the low, magnetic voice was much colder and harder.

Along the way, she couldn't quite remember when something had changed between them.

It seems that when the carriage stepped into the capital, she sat separately from him for a while, and the two of them changed their taste.

Or maybe earlier, could it be that the moment the emperor decided to return to Beijing, there were already subtle changes?

The change comes from the estrangement of each other's identities and status, and that estrangement separates the two of them in life.

Now that I have entered the palace, the subtle changes are gradually becoming apparent.

He is no longer him, but the emperor, the emperor of the entire northern bordering country.

She is no longer her, she is a concubine, just one of his many concubines.

Just like he told her on the night of the Midyear Festival.

He said, "Pour your face, in the future, you don't have to follow the rules in front of me, just do as you like." In front of outsiders, you have to be upright, after all, you are a concubine, so it's good for you. ”

What the man said, in the past few days in Beizhuang Ancient Town, she has done what she wants, and he has done it.

Now that she is back in the palace, she has to do it, and she has to hold it.

She can be "real" once in a while, but not all the time.

Therefore, for what the man said, "I'll see you when I'm free", Qian Yan took it as a scene.

She also replied to him with a scene, "Okay, that concubine is waiting for the emperor." ”

In this way, the two separated in the Longxuan Hall and went back to the dormitory.

------

In the early morning of the next morning, as soon as Dump Yan arrived, no matter whether it was the new concubine or the old concubine, they all stared at Dump Yan with that kind of hateful eyes.

They couldn't wait to turn their eyes into a sharp blade and slash at Tanyan's body.

This concubine, Concubine Wen just asked her to accompany the emperor to the imperial tomb to worship, which was enough to make them jealous.

Now that they learned that the emperor had stayed in Beizhuang Ancient Town with his concubine for nearly three days, and the two of them were still playing around, they were even more envious and jealous!

Hmph, fox charmer, hook the emperor to ignore the government.

It's just that the newcomer concubines are all lower than the concubines except for the poets and concubines.

Therefore, they only dare to be angry in their hearts, but they dare not say it clearly.

As for the poetic concubine, she has always had the same temperament as Concubine Wen, and she is even gentler than Concubine Wen.

The rest of the high-ranking concubines, they can sit above the concubine position, and they basically know the general situation, so they will not bother with their faces.

Only Concubine Li, who has the same position as Tanyan, and she and Tanyan are old enemies, so she said a few sour words.

"Concubine, Concubine Wen asked you to accompany the emperor to the imperial mausoleum to worship, but she didn't let you drag the emperor to play in Beizhuang Ancient Town, what is the difference between behavior like yours and the kind of demon concubine who confuses the monarch and ignores the government?" Li Concubine said sourly.

As soon as these words came out, most of the concubines present showed gloating expressions in their eyes.

It seems that someone finally dares to say what is in their hearts.

Regarding Li Concubine's public embarrassment, she said lightly: "This time I went to the imperial mausoleum to worship, I didn't say anything to let the emperor stay in the ancient town, it was the emperor who said that he would stay in the ancient town for a few more days." ”

"Besides, the emperor usually manages all kinds of opportunities, the government is busy, and occasionally relaxes for a few days, which is also good for the emperor. Those of us who are concubines, which one doesn't want the emperor to be good? Why did it come to your mouth, and I became a demon concubine of the country? Could it be that for the good of the emperor, I am also a disaster to the country? ”

She didn't drag the emperor to ignore the government all day long.

An emperor like Ying Zhan, even if she pulls him to ignore the government, people are not such faint monarchs.

And at that time, she asked the emperor if it mattered, and the emperor said that it was okay.

Regarding the statement of the face, the concubines maintained an attitude of disbelief.

Even if the concubine really didn't confuse the emperor and ignore the government, then she also had a means.

Didn't you wait for the emperor to be comfortable, and the emperor stayed with her in the ancient town for a while, eager to get drunk in her gentle township?

At this time, Concubine Jing wanted to help Tanyan say a few fair words.

And Li Concubine wanted to refute it.

But in the end, when Concubine Wen opened her mouth, they all stopped.

Concubine Wen: "What the concubine said is reasonable, the emperor is very hard to deal with the government on weekdays, and it is nothing to relax for a few days occasionally, and it is still not your turn to wait for the women of the deep palace to make irresponsible remarks!" ”

As a concubine, she has to maintain the emperor's image of being diligent and loving the people.

In addition, she sent the concubine to the imperial mausoleum, if it was really investigated, wouldn't she arrange a fox to confuse the monarch's heart by the emperor's side?

Concubine Wen said so, but her eyes glanced at the concubine lightly.

This concubine can fascinate the emperor to play in the ancient town for a few days, and she is the first one in this harem!

Even if Concubine Shu was terminally ill, the emperor did not take Concubine Shu to the outskirts of Beijing to relax, at most she would accompany her for a few more days.

After a while, after everyone dispersed at Concubine Wen's place, they went to Concubine Rou to say goodbye.

After the incident, Concubine Rou said that the Queen Mother and her old man would go out of the palace early next month to play.

took the concubines to the Queen Mother's place, which was regarded as a farewell before leaving.

When the group arrived at the Chengfu Palace, Concubine Wen Guifei was already sitting in the palace and gossiping with the Queen Mother.

In addition to Concubine Wen, some newcomer concubines who did not sleep were also there.

It stands to reason that these concubines have not yet slept and are not qualified to come to the Queen Mother to say goodbye.

But since they entered the palace for so long, they haven't asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye.

Now that the Queen Mother is going to go out of the palace to play, if she doesn't come to ask for peace, she doesn't know if she has to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

At this time, the concubines saluted the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

The Queen Mother's gaze swept over the faces of the concubines one by one, "You all have hearts, give me a seat." ”

After Qian Yan and the concubines took their seats, Concubine Rou asked, "I don't know where the queen mother is going to travel this time?" ”

Queen Mother: "The mourning family plans to go to Jiangnan this time, this Jiangnan, it is not a new place, the mourning family has been to several times, but it has changed a lot in recent years, every time the mourning family goes, it gives the mourning family a different impression." ”
