009 In front of the jade steps, the moon charm is arrogant

Okay^if&book*bar, in the blink of an eye. The autumn breeze is rising. Dark sky. It began to rain in a dense autumn.

And at this moment in the Zhaoyang Palace. There is no rainy and lingering melancholy. It's a burst of laughter. And so on.

Mingshen head pulls magnolia hairpin. Wearing a half-worn round-necked snow satin robe. Sit quietly on a soft couch under the warm window. Holding Wu Qi in swaddling clothes and playing. Cheng Huan and Mama Mellow were laughing on the side. The whole scene looks kind and peaceful. Serene and beautiful.

"It's only been a few days. Qi'er seems to be heavier again." Ming Shen gently pulled Wu Qi's fat little hand with his hand. He giggled and laughed. Break the dullness of a rainy day.

Mama Mellow also laughed. Looking at Wu Qi's eyes full of love: "The child is in the middle of growing up. Grow naturally fast. The nobles do not know. The prince is exactly the same as his father when he was a child. It's greedy."

Ming Shen's fingers gently touched Wu Qi's eyebrows. He was stunned and said, "Why don't you be greedy like his father. Look at the eyebrows. It's almost like his father carved out of a mold. Grow up in the future. Definitely a handsome young man."

Mama Mellow's eyebrows drooped. sighed: "Actually, Emperor Xuanwen's nature is not bad. Just when facing someone or something you care about. The means are extreme. The old slave watched him grow up. knew that he didn't mean to hurt the nobles back then. Instead, they care too much about nobles. That's why when he heard the news of the nobleman's betrayal of him. He lost his mind and his composure. Noble people who are harmed......"

"The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, can't let go. In the red dust. All beings are suffering. Now he's gone. For him. Isn't it a relief." Ming Shen smiled bitterly. Looking at the white and fat Wu Qi in his arms. A pair of narrow peach blossom eyes smiled crookedly. Suddenly, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

She will cultivate this child with all her heart in the future. He will never be allowed to go down the path of no return to his father. It can be regarded as repaying Wen Xuan's little kindness to her.

Mellow Mama saw that Ming was cautious and thoughtful. I know that I brought up something I shouldn't have brought up again. There was a moment of silence.

Outside the window, there was only the sound of dripping rain. It's boring to listen to. Ming Shen thought for a while. Suddenly, there was a bright smile. Turning his head and asking Cheng Huan, "Listen to what your teacher said. You've been studying hard these days. What have you seen. Tell me about it."

Cheng Huan tilted his little head. smiled and said: "My daughter has already read the Zijin chapter in the Book of Songs. Qingqingzijin. Yoo my heart. Even if I don't go. Zi Ning is not a sound. Qingqingzipei. Ponder for a long time. Even if I don't go. Zining doesn't come. Picky. In the city. Not seen for a day. Such as March."

"You're going to carry it. My little Chenghuan is really smart and tight." Ming Shen rubbed her little head. A doting smile on his face. turned to quietly glance at the palace man next to him. The nurses are very sensitive. Hurriedly coaxed Princess Chenghuan and His Royal Highness Wu Qi to take them down.

Ming Shen smiled and watched the pair of siblings leave. Suddenly, he smiled coldly. frowned and instructed Mama Alcohol: "You will go and tell Cheng Huan's teacher tomorrow. Let him teach her some nonsense verses. Chenghuan is still a child. Don't be obsessed with looking at these things. It's not good to move your temperament."

Mama Mellow replied with a smile: "The old slave obeys. But don't be too nervous. The minions are not able to read and write. But I also know that the Book of Songs is not a miscellaneous book. Princess Chenghuan, how old is she? Who knows that. It's just for fun."

"You don't understand. Cheng Huan's temperament is stubborn. It's hard to figure out. It's better to be cautious. Those strong words about love and love. Don't show her in the future." Ming said cautiously and rigorously. While talking. I saw Qiu Gui hurriedly walking in.

She was already soaked in the rain. Loose bun sticking to the forehead corners. With a panicked face, he said: "Master. Oh no. Something happened to Lord Bai."

Ming Shen listened and was shocked. Hurriedly handed her a handkerchief. Calmly asked, "What's wrong?" Don't worry. Say it slowly."

Qiu Gui took a handkerchief and wiped the rain on his face. replied: "This morning, Xilin Hou and Gu Suxiang. and a group of officials jointly participated in the book of Lord Bai. Said he was in office during the Dali Temple. Accepting bribes. Misappropriation of royal items without permission. When the emperor heard this, he was furious. It's also indiscriminate. Directly dismiss Lord Bai and investigate it. It's handed over to the Zongren Mansion."

"Your Majesty, this is going to be a good idea." Mingshen's heart tightened. Huo Ran got up and walked out. He didn't forget to command: "Go and prepare the sedan chair. This palace is going to the Zongren Mansion to see how he is doing."

Qiu Gui saw this. Anxious "plop" kneeling at the moment. blocked her way. Pulling her cuffs and saying, "The master can't go. These days, you're already because of Lord White. has been in a cold war with the emperor.. If you go to visit Lord Bai at this moment. The emperor knows about it. I don't know how to have a seizure. You have to think twice. It came suddenly. The Eight Achievements are coming for you."

"That kind of place like the Zongren Mansion. But whoever goes in, whether high or poor; If you don't die, you have to shed your skin. If you don't go to this palace, you can't do it. Get out of the way." Ming Shen ordered solemnly. See Qiu Gui and don't get out of the way. Simply shook off her entanglement. Hurrying out of the temple.

But just as my feet crossed the threshold. But it stopped and came back.

"You're right. This incident came to Hongu. If you go. It's just going to play right into those hands. Not only can't save Bai Pengfei. Maybe it will add fuel to the fire." Mingshen closes his eyes and is sure of his mind. Regained some composure. Suddenly I opened my eyes. Biting his lower lip, he said, "Qiu Gui. Go prepare the fragrant soup. The main palace has to bathe and change clothes. Go to the Heart Cultivation Hall and ask to see the emperor."

"It's been a long time since the emperor came to us. Eighty percent is annoyed by the master. You go and ask for a meeting at this time. Will the emperor see you?"

"I can't care so much. If he really loves me; Nature will meet."

Qiu Gui saw that she was in a hurry and calm. I also know that I can't persuade him. I had to do what she wanted. Tell the palace people to do it immediately.

Orchid soup wash cream. A moist mist filled the entire chamber.

Mingshen's body out of the bath is like a delicate white lotus blooming in the water. It exudes a tempting suffocating incense. A palace man stepped forward to put on a soft white robe for her. And helped her to the gilded mirror table of the Pisces branch.

She's sitting. Start grooming in the mirror. Warm pollen. Cool rouge. In the scented thick air. Su Li's face gradually became brighter.

She picked up the delicate green daisy and painted the distant mountains and eyebrows. The mood is also aroused by the stroke of a pen.

Since the last time Wen Hao broke her heart. She kept saying that she was sick and didn't see him. Even if we see each other occasionally. There was cold talk between the two. It's been a long time. Wen Hao was also really angry. I never had the pleasure of being in the Zhaoyang Hall again. Now. In order to rescue the person who has been silently helping her behind the scenes. After all, she still has to go to Israel to serve others. Ask Wen Hao to be gracious.

Come to think of it. She couldn't help but laugh to herself. Draped in a wide white gauze skirt. Use a pearl belt to tie the delicate waist that is unbearable. Then roll a green silk into a bun. Insert a white jade step and shake it on the side.

Long beads tremble and hang down the edge of the bun. Looking forward to the mirror. Beautiful eyes. The complexion is captivating. It's like a fairy coming down from a brocade painting. She curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction. Step by step, he walked out of the temple.

---

Outside the temple of nourishing the heart. The silence is unsettling. A row of guards with knives stood under the eaves. The expressions are solemn and cold.

Xizi hurried out of the temple. Hold up the oil-paper umbrella and come to Mingshen. For the reason: "Your nobleman, please go back. The emperor said he didn't want to see you now."

"It's embarrassing for Grandpa Xi. I'm sorry for you to pass it on again. Let's say that if the emperor refuses to receive him. The palace can't kneel down here." Ming Shen said with a smile. Slowly bent his knees on the wet and cold green bricks with carved patterns. Cold rain and miserable wind. Her delicate makeup melts a little. But it does not damage the color of the city at all. On the contrary, it makes people feel a sense of kinship.

Xizi saw her so persistent. I couldn't help but sigh: "That's it. Wait for you. The minions are going to pass it on once."

Time slipped by in the cold rain of "Bang La La". Even Ming Shen himself didn't know how long he had been kneeling. Until the body is soaked with rain from the inside out. The carefully depicted makeup is washed into a pale undertone. Even the bun was wet with rain. Sticky on cheeks. I never waited for Wen Hao's summons.

---

Gradually, the rain stopped. The people around the palace began to come out to sweep up the stagnant water and fallen leaves. See the Shen nobles who were favored in the past. At this moment, he knelt in front of the temple like a chicken in soup. They all snickered gloatingly.

"Isn't this the most sacred-hearted gentleman? How could they end up in such an embarrassing situation?"

"That's light. I heard that she and her foreign minister Bai Shaoqing cheated on her in Da Nei regardless of shame. was also hit by the emperor. The emperor didn't give her three feet of white silk. It's already a blessing."

"It is said that when Shen Guiren was serving Emperor Xuanwen. It's just a lewd billet. I didn't expect it to be true. The emperor deserves not to see her. This kind of woman. It should be sent to the cold palace."

.......

Ming Shen straightened her back. His eyes were firmly fixed on the vermilion and gold-lacquered door of the Heart Cultivation Palace. It's as if I've lost my sense of hearing. Let the group of palace people point fingers at her. And I don't turn my head to look at it.

A whistling autumn wind blows. She couldn't help but shudder. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. A feeling of dizziness gradually developed in my brain. Because she was afraid of cold. After a cold rain. I started to show some signs of fever.

Her knees were already aching from the lines of the wall tiles. It's like being tortured. But she still relied on a strong heart. After a while, the palms of his hands stole a lot of slippery cold sweat.

Just as her eyes were getting darker. The door of the Heart Cultivation Hall was finally opened with a "squeak".

She thought that Wen Hao still cared about her delicate body in the end. I can't bear her kneeling at will. And he went out to meet her. So he held on to the last of his strength and looked up. I saw the one coming out of the gate. It is a woman wearing a rose purple bronzing butterfly dance robe. Her head is surrounded by beads. Carefully supported by the female officer next to him. Walked down from the high jade steps.

The person who came was the moon charm. The purple palace dress painted with gold makes her makeup pretty and bright. On the graceful bun. The bright golden step shook in the dark sky and shone dazzlingly. It pierced Ming Shen's eyes with sour pain. But a pool of hot tears refused to fall. Lingering in the eye sockets.

It turns out that these days of the Cold War. She is the only one who is struggling to hold on. Silly combat. And what about the enemy . I have long lost interest in her turf. Disdain in a dueling with her.

In the end, she is too confident. Or she has never broken the love of men and women in this world.

It's ridiculous to let yourself be defeated. The defeat was so miserable. The other side does not need to use a single soldier. No need to conquer the city. Just never to see her again. Cast her aside coldly. She's already a failure. Lost city and land.

Moon Mei saw the frustration on Ming Shen's face as she wished. Smiling walked to a position a few steps away from her and stopped. She looked down and stared at her in embarrassment. sneered: "Who should this palace be? It turned out to be a noble man. The nobles are not good enough to take care of the princess and prince in the Zhaoyang Palace. What are you doing on your knees?"

"Back to the moon noble concubine's words. The concubine is here to see the emperor." Mingshen bitterly hooked the corners of his lips. Lowered his eyes and replied. Due to the Moon Charm's rank is higher than her. In addition, he fell out of favor with Wen Hao's cold war. Now I have to follow the rules. An An replied to her words in parts.

"Yo. Hongu heard me right. The nobleman is willing to see the emperor again." Moon Charm Xing's eyes were full of disdain and mockery. sneered: "A few days ago. Didn't the nobles still drive the emperor out of the door? Why did this son kneel and beg in front of the jade steps again? Mo is not. I'm going to intercede for your 'lover'."

Ming Shen's hand on the ground clasped the auspicious pattern on the brick. He replied coldly: "Your concubine has misunderstood. The concubine just felt that she had offended the Holy Driver a few days ago. I feel guilty. Therefore I have come to ask for sin."

"The nobleman will plead guilty. Also score the right time. Bai Pengfei has just been imprisoned. The nobleman came to see the emperor. It will inevitably make people think more. This palace is for the sake of getting along with you before. I advise you to obediently go back to the Zhaoyang Hall and think about the past behind closed doors. Wait until Bai Pengfei's head hits the ground. You're here to see the Emperor. Maybe the emperor can still believe that you are innocent. But what. The emperor doesn't seem to want to see you again. I think so. What man is there in the world? Willing to pamper a person's 'broken flowers and willows'. Noble man, you say. Isn't that reasonable?" Moon Charm asked softly. But the voice is lukewarm. Every sentence is densely hidden with needles. And the needle poked Ming Shen's sore spot.

"Your concubine is so seductive. He is really considerate of his concubines." Ming Shen couldn't help but laugh. I'm afraid Wen Hao is so ruthless behind closed doors. It is indispensable to have this little hoof to provoke from the side.

"You can understand best." Moon Charm sighed. He also said: "The emperor is sympathetic to the hard work of the palace attendants. Ordered someone to send the palace back with the Imperial Palace. Hongu won't talk to you much. The noble man knelt slowly. Who doesn't set your knees. I can really soften our emperor's heart."

She said as she walked away. One foot deliberately stepped on the back of Ming Shen's hand. Ming Shen eats pain and struggles. Nearly knocked her to the ground. Fortunately, someone from the palace immediately held her up. The back of the hand can be cautious. but he stepped high and swollen.

"It's really a practice from time to time. It's disgusting to even kneel." Moon glared at her in disgust. Lost interest in humiliating her. Holding the hands of the palace people. Sit on the royal sedan chair. Beaming away.

Ming Shen covered her hand that was painful to death. Biting his lower lip to death. Trying to endure the tears of humiliation and not let the tears of humiliation fall. Kneeling until dusk. I just feel that my eyes are getting blurry. The lingering pieces of love in my mind are scattered. The whole person also fainted softly in front of the jade steps.
