2. Estrangement
Looking back, in the past six months, although he has never met him, both of them have secret feelings in their hearts, but he is the emperor, as long as she wants to say a word, she can't escape if she wants to, but he didn't do it, he would rather give her freedom than imprison her in this palace.
He is Yun Yi, a man who is as gentle as jade.
Whether there is an unclear relationship with her, no matter how she escapes, she is living in his world.
"I don't know if the emperor has noticed that the embroidery on the clothes of many concubines recently is this stitch." Yun Qingyuan said deliberately, because Tao Zhiyuan was hiding behind the curtain, she didn't dare to pierce it, Yunyi came to ask her, she shouldn't know that this person was Tao Zhiyuan, why didn't she add fuel to the fire, even if Tao Zhiyuan intended to dodge, could she be able to defeat the emperor's words?
"Your Majesty, the old slave has also noticed that the embroidery of the concubines' spring and summer clothes this year is much more exquisite, and the queen's mother and the virtuous concubine's mother are particularly eye-catching." After Yun Qingyuan said this, Su Yan also reacted.
Tao Zhiyuan snorted in her heart, because most of the clothes of the queen and the virtuous concubine were made by her, as long as Yun Yi ordered someone to check, she would definitely be found, but looking back, Yun Qingyuan said that sentence just now, it seemed to be intentional, she quickly shook her head again, last time Yun Qingyuan was imprisoned by Yun Yi in order not to expose her, how could she doubt it.
"Is it from the division's room?" Yun Yi frowned, and his hand couldn't help but clench the incense.
"Your Majesty, do you want the slave to go to the priest's room and ask?" Su Yan said again.
Yun Yi was stunned, although he wanted to know who she was, but ...... His expression suddenly darkened, shook his head, and said, "That's it, let her live a calmer life." ”
One sentence made Tao Zhiyuan behind the curtain burst into tears.
He even said that......
Yun Qingyuan didn't know why Yun Yi didn't go to Tao Zhiyuan, and she was a little disappointed.
Su Yan didn't dare to say much, and left Xiyun Pavilion with Yunyi.
At this time, Tao Zhiyuan dared to come out, and her eyes were indeed red.
"What's going on? Why does the emperor have that fragrant tassel? Yun Qingyuan hurriedly asked.
Tao Zhiyuan thought to herself, it was not easy to explain this matter clearly, and it was not good for Yun Qingyuan to know too much, so she shook her head: "Sister, don't ask." ”
Although Yun Qingyuan didn't make much expression on her face, she already despised Tao Zhiyuan in her heart, was entangled with the emperor, and had an affair with Shi Fulin. She couldn't help but grasp the handkerchief, and there was a kind of resentment in her heart.
"Okay, if you don't say it, I won't ask." Yun Qingyuan said lightly, "I'm also tired, you go back to the division room first." ”
Tao Zhiyuan sighed, feeling that Yun Qingyuan was very cold to her today, but she didn't think much about it, in this hot weather in May, who would be in a mood that would waver.
When I returned to the division room, I didn't see Qiu Jing, so I went to guide the little palace maids who were preparing to take the women's history exam, and saw that their oldest was only ten years old, and suddenly felt a little sad, at their age, shouldn't they play games with their partners and be coquettish in the arms of their parents?
In the evening, it was time to meet Shi Fulin and them.
When night falls, the stars and the moon appear in the deep blue sky, and the evening breeze blows comfortably on your face.
Turn the corner, and you will see the palace of the Ouchi guards.
But as soon as she turned the corner, she was startled.
Countless candles are placed on both sides of the path, illuminating the entire courtyard, making it dreamlike and rendering the courtyard extremely beautiful. At the end of the path, she saw Shi Fulin at a glance.
She was in a good mood and wanted to run faster, but she was afraid
The candle was extinguished, so I had to walk over slowly, only to find that in addition to Shi Fulin and the three of them, there were Yingmeng, Qiu Jing and Aunt Zhang.
"Why are you here?!" Tao Zhiyuan hadn't seen Yingmeng and Aunt Zhang for a long time, and she was inevitably a little excited.
"You fool, you forgot your birthday!" Yingmeng smiled, "Look! Here's what we've laid out for you, like it or not? ”
Tao Zhiyuan thought about it, her birthday was December 24, but she quickly reacted that her current identity is Yun Qingling, and her birthday is the fourth day of May today.
"Yes, yes, you see I'm so busy that I forgot my birthday." Tao Zhiyuan had no choice but to say.
"I've already sent someone to invite Yuncairen, and I'll be there soon." Shi Fulin looked at the sky.
At this time, a large internal guard walked into the courtyard and said to Shi Fulin: "Report to Commander Shi, Yun Cai's body is unwell, and he can't say it." ”
Shi Fulin frowned: "Did you tell Yun Cairen that today is her sister's birthday?" ”
"I said it, but Yun Cairen still refused." The guard told the truth.
Shi Fulin looked at Tao Zhiyuan with some embarrassment, he obviously wanted to surprise her today, but he disappointed her.
Tao Zhiyuan didn't mind, she thought, maybe Yun Qingyuan didn't come over because she knew that today was not her real birthday, so she said, "It's okay, I just went to my sister's place in the afternoon, and she gave me a gift in advance." ”
Shi Fulin asked the guard to retreat, his face finally looked better, and he smiled comfortably: "That's good, Lao Dong and Lao Liu and I have prepared some wine and food for you, congratulations on your happy birthday." He gestured to the table under the gazebo, which was filled with delicacies.
Tao Zhiyuan was not easy to sweep everyone's interest, so she shouted at everyone to go over.
A glass of sake for one person is right to celebrate Tao Zhiling's birthday, or to celebrate Yunqingling's birthday.
Thinking about it, she has been living in the palace for more than half a year with the identity of Yun Qingling, at this time Yun Qingling is already sixteen years old, she can wait for another nine years to leave the palace, how will she spend such a long time.
Looking at this group of friends, there are no regrets in life.
Yingmeng and Qiu Jing hit it off, and all the food on the table was swept away by them. Shi Fulin, of course, the three of them were drinking for pleasure and talking about political affairs.
Aunt Zhang still had an errand and wanted to leave early, so Tao Zhiyuan sent her out.
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, if the edge is too exposed, it will always attract jealousy." Aunt Zhang said earnestly.
Although Tao Zhiyuan also expected that there would be such a day, she did not expect it to be so fast, from the adoption of her own plan to the promotion to the commander in less than a year. Concubine Xian is her backing, but there is also an enemy like Zhou Luying.
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I'll be careful." Tao Zhiyuan patted the back of Aunt Zhang's hand and said as easily as possible.
After sending Aunt Zhang away, Tao Zhiyuan was really melancholy, why wasn't she worried about this, but she had already come to this point, how could there be any reason to retreat. She thanked Yunyi for not pulling her into this cruel struggle forever.
