They are just pawns trained by the Queen Mother, and their value is not worth mentioning.

Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Xian ran rampant in the palace and held the power in the palace, so she was arranged to enter the palace to restrain Concubine Xian's power.

Her identity was arranged as the adopted daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the day before she was ready to enter the palace, the Queen Mother secretly went out of the palace to meet her mother's home Zhengzhou, and went to see her by the way.

When she saw the Queen Mother for the first time, she was nervous and bowed her head silently.

The Queen Mother didn't look at her reaction, her eyes were blazing and she looked out the window, under the cold moonlight, her face was solemn, and silver threads flashed in the depths of her sideburns, this was the first time Zhou Luying looked at her, and she knew from Aunt Xue that the Queen Mother had ups and downs in her life, and she had experienced a lot of hardships today.

The Queen Mother was originally the main palace, but the first emperor set up the third son Yunhong as the crown prince, and when the first emperor died, the Queen Mother united with the prime minister Wei Sen, that is, the father of the virtuous concubine

, staged a palace coup d'état, and seized the throne for his son.

But there is also a price to be paid for winning the throne, and Wesson not only grasps the power of the court, but also sends his daughter to the palace to control the power of the harem.

The seemingly calm court has already been turbulent, and the Queen Mother is worried that the Dajing Dynasty, which belongs to the Xuanyuan family, is afraid that it will change hands.

With a sour heart, Zhou Luying sighed, this is the mother, no matter how ambitious a woman is, she can't escape the instinct of loving her children as a mother, and the rebellion and seizure of the throne are just for her own children, the Queen Mother at this moment is a mother who will do anything to defend her children's throne, and she is just a chess piece for the Queen Mother.

Thinking of this, there is a sense of compassion in my heart, for her and for myself.

Now that she is only one person, and there are a few accomplices who are not a big deal, can she compete with Concubine Xian?

So the first thing she thought of was Yun Qingling, who had helped her.

She had already come to Yingyue Xuan, and the joyful laughter of watching them have a snowball fight was something she didn't dare to have, she could only stand outside the door and secretly envy it.

From the conversation with her just now, she belongs to the second type mentioned by the Queen Mother, and she doesn't want to compete for favor.

Zhou Luying stopped, except for the vast snow in Yongxiang, there were only her and Xue Ping. Her hands and feet were already frozen, and with so many thoughts, she already had a headache.

Xue Ping asked cautiously, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Zhou Luying shook her head lightly, took a deep breath, and her thoughts were about to crush her to death.

"Mother, do you have a headache?" A figure appeared silently in front of Zhou Luying, Zhou Luying saw that he was dressed in a blue imperial physician uniform, followed by a little eunuch carrying a medicine box, and they saluted Zhou Luying according to the rules.

Zhou Luying was a little surprised when she saw him, but she quickly stabilized her mind and said, "I'm indeed a little dizzy, so ask the imperial doctor to come to Yichun Palace to diagnose me." ”

He hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and followed behind Zhou Luying, Zhou Luying glanced at Xue Ping, and Xue Ping entangled the little eunuch and walked very slowly.

"How did you get here?" Zhou Luying said in a low voice.

"I proposed to the Queen Mother, you are here alone, I have to help you."

"Chu Zixiao!" Zhou Luying let out a low roar and glared at him angrily, "I don't need your help, you quickly dismiss your position and leave here." ”

"No, I can't leave you here, the Queen Mother forced you to enter the palace, do you know how ashamed I feel?" Chu Zixiao said remorsefully.

"I volunteered." Zhou Luying avoided his gaze.

"Voluntary? Then why did the Queen Mother want me to go to Suzhou? Chu Zixiao was a little stunned, "Suzhou is my hometown, and your request to enter the palace is for me to go back, right?" ”

Zhou Luying looked at the red palace wall and stinged her eyes: "Stay away from the land of right and wrong, isn't it?" You can go to Suzhou to open a medical clinic and take care of your elderly grandfather, that's the only thing I can do. ”

Chu Zixiao snorted coldly: "You will always be like this!" I won't go to Suzhou, where you are, I will be there! ”

Zhou Luying was stunned, she bit her lip, her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't say a thousand words in her heart.

They have long understood each other's intentions, but since they were ten years old, they have been involuntarily on their own.

Yun Qingyuan was wearing a feather satin cloak with emerald brocade and holding a small hand stove in her hand, finally resisting the cold.

The snowball fight just now made her fingers stiff, but after exercising, her face became ruddy and as fine as fat.

Turning her head to look at the clothes Ji Xiang was holding, she couldn't help but smile, such beautiful clothes would be a blockbuster at the New Year's inner court family banquet, and she would regain the emperor's favor.

She hasn't seen the emperor for more than a month, although she has no desires, but she also wants to be loved by the emperor, just like her parents, loving husband and wife. That's what she's wanted in her life.

When he returned to Xiyun Pavilion, a person greeted him, and said in a slender voice: "Yuncairen, why did you come back at this time?" ”

Yun Qingyuan fixed her eyes and saw that this person was the emperor's close eunuch Su Yan, she was shocked and asked, "Father-in-law Su, could it be ......?"

"Come in, the emperor has been waiting for you for a long time." Su Yan urged.

Yun Qingyuan pressed the joy in her heart, and hurriedly entered the inner hall, only to see a bright yellow figure sitting there.

"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed." Yun Qingyuan bowed dignifiedly.

Yun Yi didn't make a sound, letting Yun Qingyuan maintain a bent posture, she didn't dare to raise her head, her face was already burning like fire, and her knees were slightly sore, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Your Majesty, Yuncai is here." Su Yan called him softly.

Yun Yi seemed to have just woken up from a dream, glanced at Yun Qingyuan, and said, "Get up." ”

Yun Qingyuan stood up straight with a sigh of relief, and saw that Yun Yi was still wearing court clothes and a crown, and it was obvious that he had been staying here since he got down. Xuanyuan Yunyi was only nineteen years old, and his face was gentle, as if he was pondering something.

"This, yours?"
