Suddenly, two lines of hot tears flowed down his pale cheeks. Jumped forward and hugged her tightly. Fortunately, not all in this world is indifferent. At least Qiu Gui can still give her a warmth.

Qiu Gui gently patted her trembling back. Anxiously and worriedly, he asked, "Master. There can be where it hurts. Why is your face so pale. And the hair is also scattered. The clothes are also in disarray. What has the emperor done to you?"

"The emperor doesn't want me." Tears glistened in Mingshen's eyes. Staring at her with a little blankness. He wept, "He will have my 'love extinguished'. Righteousness is broken.'"

"How is this possible?" Qiu Gui thought he had misheard. But looking at Ming Shen's embarrassed appearance. couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "The emperor may be saying something angry. Do too many to count. He loves you so much. Where I am really willing to stop there."

Ming Shen faintly tugged at the corners of his lips. said indifferently: "You don't understand. He's always been the same. A temper that does what it says. This time. I'm afraid it's really annoying me."

Qiu Gui sighed with almost unpleasant regret. Tidying up her messy hair. Persuaded: "Actually, the slave can see it. The emperor cares about his master very much. The depth of love. Accountability. The emperor just wants you to give him a soft service. Not as good as in the future. Just follow him."

"If you want people to follow him. The concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards are beautiful. Which one does not follow him. Looking forward to him. Naturally, there is no shortage of me. He loves it too. Hate it. I'm not going to get used to his stinky temper." The tears in Ming Shen's eyes were low. Said angrily. Finished. Stubbornly biting his lower lip. And Qiu Gui slowly walked into the hall.

At this time. At the corner of the side hall came a slender figure.

It was the one who was punished by Qiu Gui for kneeling that day. Woman with eyebrows and eyes. She doesn't know how long she's been hiding here. But just now Ming Shen and Qiu Gui had a conversation. I'm afraid she listened to it word for word.

＿＿＿

Early the next morning. Bai Pengfei was pardoned and released. Add the official to the knight as a first-class guard with a sword. It is possible to walk in the palace. And those officials who co-starred with Xi Linkun. All of them were falsely accused by Wen Hao of the crime of loyalty. Or kill or degrade. It's a big change for the court.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven and a courtier. The first fire of the new monarch in office. It eventually burned to Xilinkun's head.

Wen Hao ignored the dissuasion of Gu Suhan and a group of officials. Single-mindedly cut down Xilinkun all over the door to kill chickens and respect monkeys. Next. Some of the old ministries that originally belonged to Emperor Xuanwen's henchmen. In addition to the Nalan family and the Gusu family. All of them were eradicated by Wen Hao by thunderous means one by one. Replaced by a faithful and his henchmen.

The situation in the previous dynasty was turbulent. The situation in the harem is also unpredictable.

Xilin Yan was implicated by the Xilin family. Fell from the concubine position. was demoted several levels in a row. has become a small four-grade Jieyu. He was also relocated to Wutong Garden. The second prince, Wu Sheng, was also brought to the queen's palace to be raised. Since then she has been ill. It's hard to rise again.

In the blink of an eye. Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. I don't know where the wind blew. The news that the Shen nobles had fallen out of favor with the Holy Driver spread throughout the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards. Those people were still afraid at first. But. Later, I saw that the emperor had not been to Zhaoyang Hall for more than a month. and never summoned her to bed again. Gradually, he became fearless. I started to practice the mind.

In the public opinion that everyone is hotly discussing whether Zhaoyang Hall has really fallen out of favor. A group of young and lively show girls. Carrying the dream of the six houses of the pet crown. One by one, they were taken into the harem.

The triennial draft is the ancestral system of the Dajin Dynasty. Any woman between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Must come and attend. Winner. Stay in the palace and serve the emperor. Or become a concubine. or be given to the royal family as concubines. for the side chambers. and not retained. You can marry on your own.

Due to the reign of Emperor Xuanwen. Because of the funeral of Emperor Xuande, he mistakenly passed a general election. So now. Some ministers who have female jungs in their families have come up to play. It is said that Emperor Xuanwen is the emperor who usurped the throne of the dynasty. Can't be counted. Now Emperor Xuande has been mourned for many years. Request Wen Hao before this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the ancestral system, the draft starts every three years. Therefore. Those who were selected by the official ladies. was taken into the palace one after another.

This draft. It's not as big as it used to be. Only nearly 100 people were accepted into the palace. But these are a hundred and ten people. But all of them are carefully selected by Mingwan. What remains.

Not only are they of the highest quality. Among them, there are also those who excel in virtue. It also has a noble origin. It is said that all of them are famous. Among them is Zhen Yu'er, the tenth princess of Nan'an. Suddenly, all the palaces and gardens felt a strong threat.

Inside the Zhaoyang Palace. Ming Shen woke up from his illness. A burst of orchid fragrance in the nose. It made her suspicious. And he stood up by himself. Dressed in a white straight-necked brocade robe. Look around for the source of the incense.

Finally, my eyes fall on the dressing table. I saw a pot of lush autumn orchids placed there. Countless petals stand upright. Forming a round pink flower clump. It's like a hydrangea in the hand of a lady. Very atmospheric, eye-catching but unassuming. The stamens are a little golden. It's amazing.

Ming Shen sat alone in front of the dressing table. He sneered at the haggard pale face in the mirror.

In the days when she fell out of favor. Most of the palace people who served around her were entered into the palace by her queen sister as a 'newcomer. Save manpower' for the reason of withdrawal. There are only a few left. From time to time, he was called to the palace of other concubines to do rough work. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is even more too late to deduct her use of the example. How could they send something to Zhaoyang Palace?

Who the hell is so kind. I also specially sent a pot of such a precious autumn orchid. for her to enjoy.

Qiu Gui walked into the temple with the medicine. I saw Mingshen's emaciated figure reflected in the dim bronze mirror. Because of this lingering sickbed for more than half a month. It made her look even more pale and emaciated. Weak like a light cloud. He has long black and silky hair. Looking at the pot of autumn orchids with a melancholy expression. The whole person is just like a jade lotus in the empty rain. It has an indescribable natural demeanor. Autumn water.

"Master. It's time to take your medicine." Qiu Gui put the medicine on a few cases. Gently called. looked at Ming Shen's stunned appearance. I couldn't help but sigh coldly in my heart. The emperor is really hard-hearted. The master has been sick for more than half a month. I didn't even come to look at it. But he tried his best to lift up the young lady of the Shen family who had just entered the palace. It's not a clear way to tell the harem people. Has Zhaoyang Hall fallen out of favor?

"Who sent this pot of autumn orchids?" Ming's thin lips moved slightly. His eyes fell on the pot of orchids in a daze. Reluctant to move away.

Qiu Gui said in a low voice: "It was the queen mother who rewarded it this morning."

Ming Shen sneered: "She and I. It's really a sisterhood."

Qiu Gui was embarrassed: "Actually, the slave really wants to throw it away. However, this is the queen's reward. It can only be placed in the house. The master looked at the uncomfortable words in his heart. Let's put it out there."

"No need." Ming Shen shook her head slowly. Staring at the orchid for a moment. His voice trembled and asked, "The Lan Cai man who has just entered the palace. It should be pretty."

Qiu Gui picks up the comb. Combing Ming Shen's hair. Said slowly: "Depending on who she is. It's not as beautiful as the master's appearance. Even if there are some similarities. It's a fake at best."

"But people are better than young." Ming Shen smiled sadly. Stroke this on your own cheek. Yi Leng said disheartenedly: "This palace is already a person who is almost the year of Huaxin this year. Even if it is properly maintained. also lost the innocence of her teenage years. What's more. Now I'm sick and crippled. Emaciated. Like a half-aged. Where to compare with those young upstarts. All of them are glorious."

Qiu Gui's heart fluttered. He hesitated and asked, "Why is the master so self-pitying? Didn't you hear anything?"

"The orchids are here to see me off. How long are you going to hide it from me?" Ming Shen turned his head to look at Qiu Gui. His eyes sparkled and he said, "I heard that the emperor personally sealed a talented person. On the night she entered the palace, she was given the word 'Lan' as a title. I'm really curious. What a peerless beauty of Lan Xinhui. can make the emperor look at him so differently."

Qiu Gui can't hide it. Then he said: "The slave has only heard about it. It is said that on the day of the draft. The emperor was absent-minded. But as soon as I saw this Miss Shen family. Immediately shocked. On the spot, she was named a five-grade talent. Grant residence to Guan Ju Palace."

"Heh. The emperor really exalted her too much." Ming Shen lowered her eyelashes to block the tears that were about to fall. laughed self-deprecatingly: "As soon as you enter the palace, you will get a high position. This Lancai man really has a bright future. Guan Guan Ju Dove. The emperor is planning to love her to the end."

Qiu Gui sighed and said, "Speaking of this Lancai person. I heard that it is not only similar to the master's eyebrows. And I'm still close to you. She is a cousin of the master's sister-in-law's mother's family. She's also a concubine. My aunt went early again. So it's rarely mentioned. Now I'm proud. It's kind of exhaling and raising eyebrows. It's just that the minion really can't understand it this time. Did the emperor use her to deliberately anger you? I still really like this Lancai person."

Ming Shen smiled bitterly. Said: "Of course I really like it. Otherwise, why would I be seriously ill? He didn't even come to see me."

Qiu Gui heard this. frowned and said, "That Lancai man. It's really that good. The love between the master and the emperor for many years is as deep as the sea."

Ming Shen gently helped the delicate orchid. The corners of his eyes were sour: "The emperor and I have long broken off our relationship. Now there is a humble, beautiful and unearthly beauty. Waiting for him to take care of him. How could he not hold it well. It hurts. Pampered with it."

Qiu Gui was stunned for a moment. He came back to his senses and said, "What the master means. The emperor likes to pamper some lowly statuses. But a woman with a bit of temperament."

Ming Shen sneered, "Isn't it. I'm an example. And today's Yue Zhaoyi. She was originally born as a roommate. But as soon as you enter the palace gate, you will be ranked above the nine concubines. If she hadn't been too frivolous. The emperor will not demote her as a noble concubine. And Jiang Yan. A woman from a clothed background. Aren't you still made a noble concubine?"

Qiu Gui seemed to understand and said: "The slave understands. Those lowly women. Because you get too little. That's why I cherish the honor given by the emperor. Treat the emperor as your own heaven. The emperor gave them a little love. They're going to be extra excited. In this way, the emperor's heart will have a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction."

Ming is noncommittal. Desolate hooked the corners of his lips. Laughing like a red flower withering in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qiu Gui suddenly realized: "It turns out that the master has already figured out the emperor's temper and psychology. Then why disobey him?"

"This should be a long-term stay. If you don't want to, I'll take a break. If he treats me well; I naturally respect him. To him. Follow him. But if you tease me like a cat or a dog. I'd rather die old in the palace. I won't be going to see him again. Because I don't want to be a pet curled up in his arms and spoiled. Every day, he bends his heart to please his master. In exchange for a little glory and dignity. All beings are equal. He didn't even give me the most basic respect......" Ming Shen said with teary eyes. Choked room. My body trembled slightly.

Time. Both were silent. Qiu Gui wiped her tears for her. comforted: "Master, don't be too sad. The emperor's anger is gone. Naturally, you'll understand what you want."
