() After a moment of small talk, he finally retired, and the lush greenery was as refreshing as a large piece of unpolished jasper jade.

Zhuang Jieyu exhaled heavily, "It's okay, it's okay, the Queen Mother didn't embarrass you today, when Xiangxiang said that she didn't want to move her residence, I saw the Queen Mother's face turn blue for a while, and I said something bad in my heart, but fortunately, the Queen Mother turned around and didn't blame it." ”

Walk all the way to the Jade Belt Garden, at that time the sun is just right, the wind is warm and pleasant, and you can see a few colorful butterflies at a glance, the posture is light, fluttering and flying in the delicate flowers, shuttling back and forth.

Just as I was about to speak, the sleeve was pulled down by Xiangxiang, I glanced at her, only to know that she was signaling me to silence, I smiled lightly, and I didn't speak. She then threw a grateful glance at me, and then chased after the butterfly and fluttered with both hands, unconsciously farther and farther. I looked at her carefree appearance, and sighed unconsciously, "The Queen Mother gave Xiangxiang enough face today, but it was just because when Your Majesty ascended the throne at the beginning of the twenty-third year, Hu Siqing stood in the right camp and helped Your Majesty." ”

Zhuang Jieyu nodded, "The so-called blessing of the heavenly family, to put it bluntly, is just a favor that His Majesty has to pay back slowly," she casually picked a white gardenia beside her, leaned to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, "Just like you and I were able to enter the palace to serve in the company of Your Majesty, and then like you and I are now sitting firmly in this position, which one, which one did not collude with the victory or defeat decision of the mother's family back then?" But it was all a means for His Majesty to seize the throne back then. ”

I smiled faintly, "My sister is saying this badly. Even I, I don't dare to say that the current position is firm, the world is changeable, the situation in the previous dynasty is even more treacherous, not only back then, the rise and fall of the mother's family now, isn't it the same as the life and death of you and me," and sighed softly, "I have to say that Hu Siqing is really a visionary person, when the world is peaceful, in fact, the rapid retreat, the wisdom to protect himself, Taoguang is the best choice, not mixed with the many open and secret battles in front of him, is the only way to keep the family safe." ”

Zhuang Jieyu smiled bitterly, "Yes, looking at the smile on Xiangxiang's face, I feel that real happiness seems to be something far away from me, and then look at the people in the harem, who can remember when the last time I laughed from the heart." ”

I smiled lightly and said indifferently: "You and I both know that the longer you stay in this palace, the more you don't know how to express your true feelings in your heart, not to mention laughing or crying, and you can't do what you want." ”

As he was talking, he saw a touch of goose yellow flashing from the criss-crossing branches, and several palace maids who followed behind all lowered their eyebrows, looking at the people around him who were cautious and cautious, and did not dare to move a little bit of posture, thinking that the shadow must be Feng Shuyi, except for her, there was no one in the harem to control the palace maids around her so strictly, and when she got closer, she saw her slightly frightened face at the moment, she must have been surprised to see me too, and she couldn't avoid it, her expression was momentarily lost, but she quickly eased up and stepped forward, Bent his knees and said, "My sister said hello to my sister." ”

I smiled lightly, looked at her and said, "Feng Shuyi, get up, don't be polite." ”

As soon as Xiangxiang heard the words "Feng Shuyi", he immediately trotted over, looked at her for a long time without blinking, smiled lightly, and said crisply: "It is said that in the harem of Nanliang, except for Sister Zhaoyi, Feng Shuyi is the most captivating country, but now when I look at it, I feel that the rumors outside are untrue, and it is probably nothing more than that." ”

Although I knew that Xiangxiang had always spoken straightforwardly, I didn't expect her to be so open-minded, so I was shocked, and hurriedly pulled her over and said, "Xiangxiang!" He bowed to Feng Shuyi again, "Sister Xiangxiang is young and doesn't speak well, and I hope Feng Shuyi won't worry about her." ”

Feng Shuyi's face was already pale, her body was stunned, and she said coldly: "When my sister speaks, my sister naturally doesn't dare to care," and looked at Xiangxiang carefully, "Who am I, it was Hu Xiangxiang who married into the Rong family, I heard that I used a little power in the family to occupy the name of Mrs. Rong for four years, and finally I was still in name only," sighed lightly, "It's a pity that the weak power of the mother's family in the past has also dissipated like smoke." His eyes were fixed on Xiangxiang, as if he was willing to dig out a blood hole.

Even though Xiang Xiang was a little angry, he was coaxed by Feng Shuyi's words and was suppressed by the nine points of shame that was born, and said in a lost voice: "This is a matter between my husband and wife, what does it have to do with you?" ”

The smile on the corner of Feng Shuyi's mouth deepened, "Everyone knows that married men and women are considered husband and wife only after performing the marriage ceremony, but as far as I know, Lord Rong doesn't seem to have touched a finger of his sister?" ”

Xiangxiang was so ashamed that his face turned red, and he had nothing to say. I couldn't let Xiangxiang enter the palace to suffer such a big grievance, so I said: "My sister and I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can we outsiders know about the things between husband and wife?" ”

Feng Shuyi smiled flamboyantly, and her complexion became more and more proud, "Sister is right, my sister just listened to the boiling rumors outside, but if it weren't true, such a bad rumor Lord Rong would still let it stay in the market and spread so much, and fanned the ears of our people, and I thought that Lord Rong had no affection for Sister Xiangxiang in his heart!" He let out a long breath, "But it's nothing, according to Lord Rong's current powerful position, it's easy to clear these rumors for a while, Sister Xiangxiang doesn't have to care too much." ”

When Feng Shuyi was still proud, she only heard a "pop", and a slap slapped her in the face mercilessly, and she was surprised to see that it was Zhuang Jieyu, who was full of grievances, and stepped forward. I was shocked, I really couldn't figure out how Zhuang Jieyu, who was dignified and virtuous and thoughtful about everything on weekdays, could do such a reckless thing today.

Feng Shuyi was angry for a moment, but she didn't fight back immediately, she just pointed at Zhuang Jieyu's hair: "With your little Jieyu, you dare to tie me up, have you eaten the gall of an ambitious leopard?" ”

I would like Feng Shuyi to slap her back on the spot, but she is not such a stupid person, and she knows that doing this will not do her any good, "Shuyi, is this still going to Cining Palace to ask for peace?" I smiled gracefully, "We just came out of Cining Palace, the Queen Mother is in a good mood today, and she looks at Sister Xiangxiang very much!" ”

Feng Shuyi glared at me and said: "In this harem, there has always been a rule of law, and there is no room for a trace of trespassing, but now, Zhuang Jieyu has committed the following crimes, I am afraid that she has followed Zhaoyi Niangniang for a long time, and she has learned to go up and down!" ”

I thought about it, "Shuyi's words are a bit excessive, if you say that the upward line is effective, who does this upward line refer to?" Pretending to be suspicious, after a while, I said, "Could it be that Feng Shuyi is referring to some of His Majesty's grace to me?" If it weren't for Your Majesty, I really wouldn't have figured out what Shuyi meant, so why don't Shuyi talk to me about the truth in this? ”

Feng Shuyi took a deep breath and said with a grim face: "Anyway, Zhuang Jieyu has always been good friends with her sister, but now because these two sentences are incompatible, she is so arrogant and tied to me, if my sister doesn't give me justice, then I have to act according to the rules." ”

I smiled and said, "Sister is angry, this is what Zhuang Jieyu did wrong, so I naturally won't cover her up." But if you follow the rules, it will only cost her a life, and it will not be good for my sister, so it is better for my sister to let me save Zhuang Jieyu's life, don't make things bigger, my sister can also make a request for exchange, and it will be beneficial for my sister, what does my sister think? ”

Feng Shuyi pondered for a while, and responded: "Okay, I'll swallow this matter for the time being, I just don't know if my sister can be satisfied with me?" ”

I smiled faintly and said, "Since I said it, as long as I can do it, I will never regret it, Feng Shuyi should know my temperament." ”

Feng Shuyi's eyes wandered over me and said, "I see that my sister has always been a good talker, and I only believe my sister today." ”

I nodded, "That's fine." ”

Feng Shuyi smiled lightly at me, she seemed to have an insight in her heart, but she didn't say anything immediately, she just stretched out her hand, and the two palace maids behind her came up and carefully supported her, and shook her step by step in the direction of Cining Palace.

I looked at Feng Shuyi's back and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "This matter is proper after all." ”

Zhuang Jieyu looked ashamed, "It's all my fault, impulsive, and even tired you to meet her condition, and if you don't say it, you will be at her mercy for a while." ”

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I don't understand that you have always been dignified Zhou, how could you hit her so recklessly today?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu smiled gloomily and said: "No matter how dignified Zhou is, there is always a time when he is impulsive. ”

I sighed slightly, yes, no matter how dignified Zhou is, there are always times when he is impulsive, but he just didn't touch the reverse scales in his heart, and I don't know which of Feng Shuyi's words inadvertently angered Zhuang Jieyu, who has always been mild-mannered.

Xiang Xiangshang was still blushing, "Everything is because of me." ”

I smiled and pulled Xiangxiang, who was so sad and ashamed that I was so embarrassed that I couldn't feel sorry for myself, and said casually: "It's okay to think about it, don't worry, who else in this harem concubine except the queen mother, who else can take me?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu smiled deeply, "Fortunately, the queen mother is a person who doesn't want to grudge with others and get along well." ”

My gaze swept over Xiangxiang intentionally or unintentionally, "Don't pay too much attention to Feng Shuyi's words, she said it on purpose." ”

Xiangxiang shook his head, "She's not talking nonsense, what she said is true," a dark light burst out of her eyes, a little stubborn, a little transparent, "Even if Rong Ruo can easily clear up those rumors, he is unwilling to do it." ”

I said gently: "In fact, the rumors are all spread from one to ten, ten to hundreds, and it is not so easy to clear up, not to mention that it is not easy for Lord Rong to solve this matter in a public favoritism." If you really take these words to heart, then you are drilling the horns of the bull. ”

Xiangxiang said softly: "Miao, in fact, you don't have to comfort me, I can see many things clearly, but I don't want to face it." Feng Shuyi's words just now were just a stick that woke me up from the dream I had created. ”

Zhuang Jieyu asked: "But it doesn't make sense, why is Lord Rong unwilling to clear these rumors?" Could it be that there are still people who ruin their own reputation? ”

Xiangxiang's tone was solemn and sad, and he said: "Because those words are true." ”

Zhuang Jieyu's body trembled slightly, and the crystal flowers hanging from a small pearl-inlaid jade bead hairpin between her sideburns trembled, and she said colorlessly: "What?!" How is this possible?! With a look of disbelief, he shook his head again and said, "Aren't you the marriage of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?" ”

Xiangxiang said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Zhuang Jieyu's face turned blue and white for a while, and she asked suspiciously: "Then how did you escape the test of Supa?" ”

Xiangxiang lowered his eyes and said: "He cut his wrist......"

I saw that Xiangxiang's face was getting more and more ugly, so I raised my eyebrows and shouted: "This matter is a long story, so don't talk about it again!" ”
