Xuanyuan Xuanling walked out of the door, let out a long sigh of relief, and the slanting sun was on duty at the night, and Gonggong Liu, who was leaning on the doorpost, was dozing off.

If it had been before, he would have snorted coldly and walked away.

But today, when he looked at the elderly and frail Father-in-law Liu, he suddenly felt compassion and stepped forward and gently patted Father-in-law Liu's shoulder.

Gonggong Liu, who suddenly woke up, looked at the emperor in front of him, and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted: "The old slave is derelict in his duties, please punish the emperor."

"Get up, be quiet, don't wake up Concubine Chun."

It was the first time for the emperor to speak to himself in such a gentle tone, and Gonggong Liu was really not used to it.

"Your Majesty, are you going back to Xuanyuan Palace?" Seeing that the emperor had fallen asleep, Gonggong Liu got up again, thinking that the emperor had urgent official business to deal with!

"No, go to Lonely Fangyuan."

These days, Yulian has long been accustomed to the emperor being by her side every night, and she just can't sleep when she is not cold.

She rolled over and got up, put on her coat, leaned against the window, looked at the kind night, and sighed softly.

Leaning tired, he walked to the desk again, grabbed the pen and drew casually.

Just as the painting was engrossed, the brook barked at the door, and it was a cheerful cry.

Every time the emperor came here, it was so cheerful.

Yulian didn't think about it, she quickly jumped onto the couch, pulled the quilt and pretended to sleep.

Don't dare to let the emperor see it, as soon as he is gone, he won't be able to sleep, otherwise, he should get carried away and make fun of himself.

The emperor walked in the door, the light was not extinguished, and there was a paintbrush lying on the ground.

He picked up the paintbrush, walked over to the desk, picked up the drawing paper, and looked at it carefully.

On the painting, a round of the rising sun rises in the east, the glow of the sun shines, and under the fence of the east of Nanshan, a man carries a bag, pushes the door out, and goes to the vast world.

Seeing this, his heart suddenly tightened: What does Lian'er mean by making this painting, does she still yearn for a free and easy life outside the palace?

"The emperor peeked at my painting again." Yulian couldn't pretend anymore, so she sat up and said angrily.

"Lian'er, who is the person you painted on?" The emperor cautiously tentatively said.

"This person's name is Xu Hongzu, he despised fame in his life, said that the big husband should be bright and blue sea and admire Cangwu, so he has been traveling abroad for decades, in the process of traveling, systematically investigated the geomorphological and geological characteristics of the entire Central Plains, and wrote the strange book "Xu Xiake's Travels". Yulian said softly, her face full of fascination.

Xuanyuan Xuanling sat in front of the couch, looked at Yulian and said, "Does Lian'er also want to travel around like him?" ”

"Yes, I especially want to, just like him, dressed in the sun. Oh, by the way, do you know why he is called Xu Xiake? Just because he always goes out early and returns late in the glow, he sends the beautiful name Xu Xiake. ”

"Okay, when I have time, I will definitely accompany Lian'er to travel around and see my great rivers and mountains."

"Well, I'll wait." Yulian said happily.

Then, the two hugged each other and lay down.

Xuanyuan Xuanling hugged Lian'er, closed his eyes with satisfaction, and suddenly asked: "Lian'er, you said, is there anyone who is the emperor, but does not even have a harem concubine, but only one woman for life." ”

Yulian was a little puzzled by what he meant, but after thinking about it, she replied truthfully: "Yes, in ancient times, there was an emperor named Song Yingzong, and he only had one queen, who was close to him since he was a child, and the two became relatives when they grew up. But the queen didn't allow him to take any more concubines, Yingzong didn't say anything about the queen, and he loved her very much, and the two of them also lived a lifetime of affection and love. ”

"It can really be like this, and the emperor can stay with only one person until he is old." Xuanyuan Xuanling was surprised, it was the first time he had heard of it.

"Lian'er, but in this life, I have you, as well as the queen and other concubines, you won't blame me!" After he was surprised, he said slowly.

Now, it was Yulian's turn to be shocked, it turned out that he meant this, he was afraid that he would mind his many concubines.

Yulian was very moved, held the emperor's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it is enough for Lian'er to have you in this life." Everything does not have to be perfect, and things in the world should not be too perfect, and only a little flaw can be permanent. ”

"Yes, exactly." He turned around, hugged Yulian tightly, and fell asleep peacefully.

On one side, the emperor and Yulian hugged each other, complaining to each other; On one side is Concubine Chun, who is lonely and sleepless, and her resentment is difficult to eliminate.

She harbored family hatred, and it was not easy, but who knew that she also attracted love and resentment because of her momentary emotion.

This family's personal grudge has turned her into a murderous devil, who is waving her teeth and claws, waiting for the right time.

……

Early in the morning, Yulian was taking care of the herbs in the garden, and Pearl rushed over, panting and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Chun Niangniang is here." ”

It's no wonder that Pearl is so nervous, it's been a few years, and Concubine Chun is the first time to come to Gufangyuan.

"Please go to the side hall and sit down!" As Yulian spoke, she saw that the peony in the garden was blooming brightly, and she broke two branches casually.

Concubine Chun sat in the side hall and looked at the simple furnishings in the hall.

Originally, she was favored by Concubine Jing in the future, because she wanted the wind to be windy and rainy. Naturally, the palace where she lived would be decorated with all its luxury and elegance, and full of rare treasures.

Although it is elegant and fresh, it is such a simple furnishing, and it is even a little shabby.

From a distance, I saw Concubine Jing dressed casually, her cuffs pulled up high, and she was holding two rose-red peony flowers in her hands.

Concubine Chun stood up and was about to speak, "Concubine Chun, these two flowers are for you, and they match your clothes today." ”

Yulian walked in the door, and did not greet Concubine Chun, so she put the flower on her hand very well.

Concubine Chun took two huge peonies, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.

Originally, she thought that when she met Yulian, she would first greet politely, then chat awkwardly, and then go straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, Yulian was like an old friend, and as soon as they met, she gave two flowers to herself.

She was originally a lonely and arrogant person, and she never liked to be false and wronged.

Therefore, she was obsessed with flowers, and she couldn't say the polite words she had thought of, just looking at the flowers in her hand, and she didn't know how to respond.

"Concubine Chun, don't you like these two flowers? If you don't like it, there are others in my garden, and you can fold them as you like. Yulian saw that Concubine Chun was stunned when she looked at the flower in her hand, so she smiled and said.

"No, this flower is beautiful, thank you Sister Jing." Concubine Chun came back to her senses and said bluntly and politely.

"Concubine Chun likes it, you come, do you have something to find your sister?" Yulian didn't want to go around in circles with her, so she asked directly.

Concubine Chun is also a straightforward person, but after meeting Yulian, I feel that her personality is more hearty than herself, she doesn't grind or chirp, she doesn't pretend, she just opens her mouth to say whatever she wants.

To be honest, she admires and likes Yulian's temperament very much, if she had known her earlier, if there had been no emperor between them, Concubine Chun even felt that she might become the most intimate friend with Concubine Jing.

However, there is no such thing as a what ifs in this world.

After all, things are people, and Concubine Chun can't forget it, it is because of the woman in front of her that she was treated coldly and ruthlessly by the emperor.

Therefore, she settled down, handed the flower in her hand to Mei'er, and said lightly to Yulian: "Yes, I heard that my sister is good at Danqing, and my sister wants to ask you to paint me a few portraits?" ”

"My sister praised it falsely, my sister just two times, I can't see the world, it's better for my sister to go to the painting academy and invite Mr. to come, and I will definitely paint my sister vividly and vividly." Yulian didn't want to paint with her at all, but sincerely recommended the gentleman of the art academy.

"Okay, then don't embarrass my sister. However, I heard that my sister likes landscape pictures, and there happens to be one in my sister's palace, and no one knows how to appreciate it, so it's wasted, so I brought it to my sister, and it can be regarded as making the best use of it. Concubine Chun said, and ordered Mei'er to hand over the scroll in her hand to Pearl.

Yulian didn't have a good impression of Concubine Chun, not to mention that she had damaged herself once, so she didn't want to see her even more.

I wanted to send her away in a few words.

But I didn't expect that Concubine Chun came to give a gift, and she also voted for the gift she liked.

Yulian can't stand the goodness of others the most, and she will definitely not ask for her picture scroll in vain.

However, the person who stretches out his hand and does not hit the smiling face cannot directly refuse to accept Concubine Chun's painting; Moreover, Yulian thought that she had just lost the second prince and lost the emperor's favor, and she was inexplicably compassionate, and rushed to say: "If my sister doesn't dislike it, my sister will help my sister paint." ”

"Okay, then tomorrow invite my sister to come to my palace and help me paint!"

"Are you going to my sister's palace?"

"It's hard sister, my body is just right, and I can't blow the wind." Concubine Chun said weakly.

"Okay, I'll go." Yulian nodded happily.

It is true that it was Concubine Chun's pity that moved Yulian, but Yulian is not a stupid person.

Concubine Chun came to Gufangyuan, and gave a painting to herself for no reason, and asked herself to paint her, and she went to her Xishi Palace to paint, Yulian wanted to see what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Yulian thought that Concubine Chun was just jealous of herself, and she always had to think about the law to govern herself secretly.

Isn't she afraid?

People themselves are not stupid, not to mention, there is an inseparable Yingzi! I'm afraid she will do anything.

Yulian has calculated everything, but she can't calculate it, the terrible thing about Concubine Chun is not only her jealousy, but also the mission she has and the terrible Fallen Leaf family behind her.

Therefore, the danger is approaching Yulian step by step.

Yushinomiya.

The people dressed as guards conspired with Concubine Chun again.

"Niangniang, did you invite Concubine Jing to come to the palace to paint, do you want to wait for an opportunity to give her some color to see? How to do it, please ask the mother to tell me. The Praetorian Guard whispered.

"You don't have to do anything, just look at her closely." Concubine Chun said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Only by knowing the other can we survive a hundred battles. Hongu has never been with her and does not know her. Therefore, you have to take this opportunity to have more contact with her, carefully observe her, and the people around her, so that you can know her weaknesses and hit her with one blow, understand? ”

"Also, including the dog next to her, she has to be carefully checked by this palace boy."
