In the Cining Palace, Aunt Jinyue is bringing out a set of tea sets from the warm pavilion, the cup lid is tattooed with a blue plum blossom pattern, under the background of the white background of the cup body, it looks particularly elegant, the daylight is almost dusk, and a faint goose yellow imprint falls in the empty and silent palace to produce the color of sauce purple and black zhu.

The tea soup was hot and overflowing, and I lightly held the blue and white teacup with my bare hands, and the azure cup in a corner seemed to be uncontaminated with any hustle and bustle in the south of the Yangtze River gradually appeared in front of me, "I don't know what happened to the Queen Mother asking me to come alone today?" ”

In front of the Queen Mother, there are two peonies in the cracked clouds and water fade flowers, and the yellow and gold-like colors give birth to a magnificent temperament in the sunset, and the flowers quietly nestle on the green leaves with bright light lines.

The Queen Mother's gaze left the peony and fell on my face, "It's okay, even when I think of your child entering the palace, I haven't said anything to you," After a while, she asked with a smile, "How do Zhaoyi think my two peonies are blooming?" ”

The tea cup is held in the palm of the hand, a few pieces of millitail in the clear green liquid stretch, rotating, slowly sinking, then rising and sinking, three ups and three downs, buds and shadows and water, reflecting each other, "I really don't know how to play flowers, I just think this flower blooms vigorously, very good-looking." ”

The Queen Mother smiled pleasantly and pointed to the peony, "Among the three thousand flower species, I like the peony the most, Zhaoyi likes it?" ”

I laughed and said: "After falling into the red, the best name is called the King of Flowers." boasted of the unparalleled beauty in the world and monopolized the first fragrance in the world. Peony is graceful and luxurious, it is the national color, how dare I talk about liking, I don't dare to think about it on weekdays. The Queen Mother's words really frightened me. ”

The Queen Mother tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled forcefully, "You are not honest in what you say." ”

I chuckled and said, "I don't understand what the Queen Mother means." ”

She stretched out her hand and stroked the few silver-white sideburns mixed with harmony, "Peony is the crown of flowers, where in the world there is a woman who doesn't like it, even if you don't like the appearance of peony, you will definitely not dislike the status of peony." ”

I felt a thorn in my heart, "I'm not the kind of person the Queen Mother thinks in her heart," I couldn't help but smile slightly, "It seems that I really haven't had a chance to talk to Tai Consequence well, and I have already called myself misunderstood so far, I am really wronged." ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly and slowly propped herself up, "You said that I misunderstood you, so why don't you just tell me what you think." ”

Aunt Jinyue poured a cup of Beixue bird's nest soup and presented it to the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother often chats with Zhaoyi Niangniang, and the two get along very harmoniously and closely. ”

The Queen Mother took the bowl and evened it twice with a spoon, "This is what it should be, they are both harem concubines, and they all serve the emperor, so naturally they must work with one heart and one mind." ”

Aunt Jinyue smiled and sighed: "It's a pity that there are no concubines in the harem so far and there is no good news about the heirs. ”

The Queen Mother's fingertips trembled slightly, put the bowl aside, glanced at Aunt Jinyue with a smile, and said lightly: "The emperor is in his prime, and there are many outstanding people in the harem, so he is not in a hurry." ”

Aunt Jinyue's expression was as usual, and she said with a smile: "This is a slave who talks too much." ”

I took a deep breath and said calmly: "The Queen Mother is right, there are many sisters in the harem, and there is no shortage of talented people who can please Your Majesty. It's only a matter of time before the heir comes, and it's okay to think about it. ”

The Queen Mother looked at me, "I didn't expect you to see so openly." ”

I lowered my eyes and smiled, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from the Queen Mother, I have been favored since I entered the palace to serve His Majesty, and I have been very uneasy in my heart, and now I am even more uneasy." ”

The Queen Mother asked: "Uneasy," smiled, "You should be happy in your heart." ”

I raised my eyes, "I do rejoice, but the Queen Mother doesn't understand why I'm happy, for me, no matter what position is the same, I am accompanied by Your Majesty, for my own heart, I have Your Majesty in my heart, Your Majesty has me in my heart, in the end, I am just to get a one-hearted person, but I also understand that Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is impossible to spoil me alone forever, so as long as Your Majesty has me in your heart," his eyebrows moved, and he continued, "If one day I am disheartened." , even if His Majesty uses the position of queen to redeem it, it will be useless in the end. I have never valued glory and wealth, vanity and prosperity, and the more Your Majesty inflicts these things on me, the more uneasy I feel in my heart. ”

The Queen Mother's eyebrows burned, and she said solemnly: "One heart? Empress? A sneer came out of his throat, "You are arrogance, do you know that with today's words, I can punish you with death." ”

I smiled respectfully: "I naturally know, but I know that the Queen Mother wants to hear what I have to say, because the Queen Mother is afraid." ”

The Queen Mother leaned back slightly, "You say, what am I afraid of?" ”

I bowed my head, "Before, the queen mother told me that since she first saw me, she was sure that the harem would be my own world, when the queen mother did not say this to me, I didn't realize this, if it was a month ago, I must not understand the queen mother's intentions," lowered her eyes, "but now I understand, the queen mother is afraid that one day, I will take the queen's position, and even replace the position of the entire harem, the queen mother is even more afraid that Your Majesty will follow the old path of the first emperor, Nanliang can no longer afford to delay." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "Since you know, I don't have to go around the bend," her eyes drooped slightly, looking at the golden jade flowers on her little finger and the cicada armor, "In the past, King Zhou You was the prince of the Beacon Fire Opera, and the Anshi Rebellion was all caused by Tang Xuanzong's excessive favor for Yang Yuhuai, and how could Li Yu's destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty have anything to do with Xiao Zhouhou, which one of these things is not because the emperor is the sole favor of the harem concubines, and the sole favor ends, so, does Meng Zhaoyi want to be a concubine, or Yang Guifei, or embark on the road of Xiao Zhouhou?" ”

I was a little embarrassed, silent for a while, and slowly shook my head and said: "The Queen Mother's words are not right, the Queen Mother is also a harem woman, and she really shouldn't blame all the men's faults on the woman's body, the Western Zhou Dynasty perished because of the mediocrity and lewdness of King Zhou You, even if there is no compliment, there will be other women, the Anshi Rebellion is a war launched by An Lushan and Shi Siming after betraying the Tang Dynasty, and it is a civil war with the Tang Dynasty for the right to rule. But my situation is different, and I am not Xiao Zhouhou at all, I am two completely different people from her. It stands to reason that I shouldn't have refuted the Queen Mother's words, but I can't hold these words in my heart for a long time, and I know that the Queen Mother doesn't like to listen to lies, so I won't blame the Queen Mother for these words in my heart. ”

The Queen Mother's complexion was a little vain by the dim sunset, "But no matter what, the emperor's favor for you is too much, even if the emperor doesn't think so, but I want to remind you that excessity is natural, I hope you can stay sober and don't fall into the brilliance of gold and jade," sighed, "Li Yu just used a red silk tent inlaid with gold threads to decorate the walls for Xiao Zhouhou, which was said to be extravagant, and you look at the vision again, Do you know how much money the emperor spent on the birthday banquet for you the day before yesterday, which was simply extravagant and wasted the treasury. ”

My heart trembled heavily, as if someone's nails pinched my heart, painful, and said: "I understand what the Queen Mother means, the day before yesterday, His Majesty held a birthday banquet for me, it was very extravagant, although I was grateful and happy, my heart was always uneasy, and it was His Majesty's heart to me that always made me grateful and happy, not the material outside the body, and the luxury and luxury of drunken gold fans can only bring temporary happiness, if it is long, it will not rely on these," I sighed like a butterfly's silent wings, "And now, The king of Yunnan is waiting for an opportunity to rebel under the banner of avenging the prince, I really shouldn't let Your Majesty waste it for me, when I think of this, my heart will always throb, so I have decided yesterday that this life will not be bigger than my birthday, but I have not yet made it clear to His Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother looked at me silently for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you are also a sensible person." ”

Aunt Jinyue's eyebrows trembled like withered leaves, and she said, "The king of Yunnan should not rebel, can the queen mother ......?"

But the Queen Mother didn't pay attention to Aunt Jinyue's words, and just continued to say to me: "It's good that you understand these principles of serving the emperor, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and it is impossible to take only one scoop of drink from you forever, I know that the emperor has you in his heart, but even if the emperor has you in his heart, he still has to take care of the previous dynasty, since you are a sensible person, you should know the importance of timely resolution, and it can be seen that you and the first concubine are different, you know, I don't want to see the dynasty and the emperor ruined because of your jealousy." Got it? ”

I bowed and replied, "I understand," and said with a reasonable smile, "If the Queen Mother likes this peony, I will go to the Imperial Garden every day to pick the freshest and send it to the Queen Mother to enjoy." ”

The Queen Mother said lightly, noncommittal, her eyes swept Aunt Jinyue, and then she smiled tiredly and said, "Go ahead, you are old, and you are a little tired after only a few words." ”
