Lianzhi thought of the marriage gift, and suddenly asked, "Don't you feel pity?" ”

"What a pity?"

"The Su family."

Wen Zhiyu was a little puzzled: "Why did you suddenly mention the Su family?" ”

"If it weren't for me, Emperor Chu would have given you and Su Xiran a marriage, don't you really think it's a pity?" Lianzhi explained, "The Su family has military power in their hands and can help you with a lot of things. But the Dongxia behind me will only make Emperor Chu suspicious, and marrying me will do more harm than good to you. ”

"Before you showed up, I didn't think it would matter who you marry." Wen Zhiyu paused, he looked at Lianzhi with a lot of indescribable feelings hidden in his eyes, "But you appeared, which made me feel that you had to be." ”

"Why?"

"Ordinary women don't have the courage of you, I appreciate it." In fact, whether there is any other reason, Wen Zhiyu himself does not know, but now, this is indeed the best reason.

Lian Zhi suddenly smiled: "Ordinary men, they shouldn't dare to marry me." ”

Wen Zhiyu suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Lianzhi's forehead, and said softly: "Rest early today, you didn't sleep last night, did you?" ”

"Aren't you too?" Lianzhi didn't know why Wen Zhiyu suddenly made such a move, but she was not disgusted with Wen Zhiyu's behavior.

Wen Zhiyu withdrew his hand: "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." Lian Zhi and Wen Zhiyu continued to walk forward, and Su Qing hurriedly followed.

Gu family, Gu Shiqi stood in front of the open window, looking at the crescent moon in the sky from afar, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Childe!" A female voice rang out behind him.

Gu Shiqi didn't look back: "You're back?" ”

"Yes." The woman took a step forward, and the moonlight shone on her face, and it was a red jade.

"You really don't care about that person, do you?"

"After all these years, I've almost forgotten that I still have a father, in fact, I haven't had a father since he bet on me at the gambling house. If it weren't for Gongzi saving me, I'm afraid I would have died in Yihong Courtyard a long time ago. I don't owe anything to that person! ”

"Won't you regret it?"

"People always have to look forward, and I will never regret staying by Childe's side."

Gu Shiqi turned around and looked at Hongyu: "Help me check the two of you, I'm going to work hard for you." ”

"That's what subordinates should do."

……

After the old beggar left Jingzhao Mansion, he staggered down the empty street, and he found a street corner and sat down slowly, and then the whole person fell down.

The next day, an old beggar whose body had been stiffened was found on the street corner......

Today in the court, Prime Minister Mo was heavily punished by the emperor, although he was not demoted, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it will be difficult for the Mo family to recover its current strength in the next few years. The second prince was even more grounded in the mansion and could not come out, and the "Snow Plum Picture" given to Emperor Chu by the second prince was directly torn up and thrown on Wen Zhiyu by Emperor Chu in front of the important ministers of the court.

The affairs of the second prince and the Mo family were almost clear to everyone last night, and today they are just waiting for a result. Now that the results are out, I don't know if everyone is happy or worried.

When the news reached Yuyang Palace, Lianzhi sighed in her heart, it was really exactly what Wen Zhiyu expected.

Wen Yunxi happened to come to Lianzhi today, she was sitting opposite Lianzhi at the moment, and when she heard the news, she looked indignant: "Father's punishment is too light?" ”

"The emperor has a rod and scale in his heart, and it is not something that others can control." Lianzhi only said lightly, "Don't mention these things, it's almost winter, have you made new clothes?" ”

Wen Yunxi replied: "The palace people drew new patterns and sent them to me, and they are similar styles every year, nothing new." ”

"Novelty is easy to make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, they can't cut off a few heads."

"I'm afraid this year's autumn hunting is out of play, how can my father still be in the mood to go to autumn hunting now?"

"I heard that the autumn hunt in Xichu is very interesting, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it this year."

"It's okay, it is estimated that next year's autumn hunt should be changed to spring hunting, and it will be half a year, and we will go together at that time."

"Okay."

……

In the Weiyang Palace, the queen angrily threw a cup of tea cup to the ground: "This matter will definitely be counted on the head of the palace, when has the palace suffered such grievances?" Shuhan, what did you do, why did you make such a mistake? ”

Shuhan knelt in front of Luo Xuanran, he didn't dare to come out, and listened to Qin's persuasion: "Queen Mother, don't be angry, Shuhan also said that she was discovered by Princess Wanyang, I'm afraid that Princess Wanyang will calculate you." But this matter is not all bad, at least for now, the emperor will not marry the Xiao family for the eldest prince. ”

"You're right, this palace has also been worried about the marriage these days, so it has solved the urgent need. However, this palace is not afraid of the virtuous concubine, no matter how powerful she is, after this incident, the emperor will be dissatisfied with her. Luo Xuanran calmed down, "What is the palace anxious about now, the most urgent should be Concubine Xian." ”

The former dynasty and the harem are one, and the two princes were frustrated in the previous dynasty, how could the virtuous concubine have no impact in the harem?

Luo Xuanran asked, "What is the movement of Concubine Xian?" ”

Tingqin shook his head: "Concubine Xian is very quiet there, and she doesn't mean to intercede for the second prince at all." ”

"This palace wants to see what Concubine Xian is going to do this time?" Luo Xuanran smiled coldly, she had been dissatisfied with Concubine Xian for a long time, although this matter was very likely to make her and Concubine Xian face off, but it was rare to see Concubine Xian fall so big, she was still a little comfortable in her heart.

However, no one expected that Wen Xize would turn over the sign of Concubine Xian today, and everyone in the harem was speculating for a while, what did Emperor Chu mean by this?

In the evening, Emperor Chu came to the palace of the virtuous concubine, and when he entered the door, he glanced at the palace maid kneeling at the door, and the "Collection of Cherished Flowers" in the hand of the palace maid attracted his attention.

"How do you have this book?" Emperor Chu asked.

Yuan Dai was stunned in her heart: "Back to the emperor, the slave maid is going to be given to the virtuous concubine Niangniang, during this time Niangniang is very interested in this poetry collection and has been studying." ”

Yuan Dai's answer made Emperor Chu a little interested: "Concubine Xian is studying, what do you think, what kind of flower do you think you are?" ”

Iris Dai's body fell lower: "The slave is just a piece of vine grass, and it is already good to be able to live, how dare you compare yourself to a flower?" ”

"You little palace maid is your duty." Emperor Chu added meaninglessly, "I like the people who do my duty." ”

Yuan Dai's heart was up and down, and she didn't know how to answer, but Emperor Chu had already strode in and didn't listen to Yuan Dai's answer again.

Iris breathed a sigh of relief, in this late autumn, her back was already soaked with sweat.

When Emperor Chu walked into the dormitory, he saw that Concubine Xian had already taken off the hairpin ring, and she was wearing light-colored clothes, looking very weak. Concubine Xian stepped forward to ask for peace, but Emperor Chu didn't look at her, but sat down by himself: "Get up, you will catch a cold if you kneel for a long time." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Concubine Xian stood up and personally served tea to Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu looked at Concubine Xian's hand and suddenly asked, "Concubine Xian doesn't have anything to say to me?" ”

"What does the emperor want the concubine to say, to intercede for the second prince? The second prince is the son of the concubine, of course the concubine is distressed, but the second prince is also the son of the emperor, how can the emperor not feel distressed? ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Since ancient times, it has been the first monarch and then the father and son, and if you make a mistake, of course you will be punished. The concubine believed that the emperor's punishment of Zhiyu was well thought out. The emperor has been working hard for political affairs every day, and the concubines can no longer embarrass the emperor for their own selfishness, only to blame Zhiyu for not making people feel uneasy. ”

Concubine Xian's words soothed the anger in Emperor Chu's heart a little: "Have you ever hated those palace people who worked with you in the Huanyi Bureau back then?" ”

Concubine Xian sat down opposite Emperor Chu: "When the concubine was in the Huanyi Bureau, she wanted to do her own thing, and those were the responsibilities of the concubine, how could it be regarded as a struggle?" The concubine will never forget that day because of a high fever fainted on the side of the road, it was a big mistake to lose the honor in front of the emperor, thanks to the emperor's benevolence to send someone to help, otherwise who would care about the life or death of a little palace maid? ”

Listening to Concubine Xian's words, Emperor Chu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: "I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. ”

"Yes, for so many years, only the emperor can rely on the concubine's side. The concubine still remembers that when she was just the master, her hands were very ugly because of the perennial laundry, which was far from being compared with other sisters, but the emperor found all kinds of ways to warm the hands of the concubine, and the emperor did something for the concubine, and the concubine never forgot it. ”

Emperor Chu looked at Concubine Xian's hand, and many fragments flashed in his mind, and finally turned into a heavy sigh: "Concubine Xian, I know your duty, and the palace maids around you are all responsible, but you don't have a reputation for this part!" ”
