Changchun Palace in Ziyun City.

"Niangniang, Su Xin beside the second lady was blocked at the door of Prince Heng's mansion by the Bai family." Aunt Sun said as she handed a cup of hot tea to the imperial concubine who was reclining on the chaise longue and said, "Niangniang, this is your favorite rime tea, and the water for this tea is still the dew on the lotus leaf in the early morning that the tattooed girl specially collected when she went to the clouds." ”

The imperial concubine took the ginseng tea handed by Aunt Sun, held it in her hand and said, "Auntie, this tea is a little cold." ”

"It's the slave who is negligent, and I hope the mother will forgive her sins!" Aunt Sun hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "On weekdays, the mother's diet and daily life are mostly served by the cloud girl, and the slave and maid will definitely pay more attention in the future." ”

"Yunwen has been working hard with Bengong all these years, and Bengong has always been willing to lift her." The imperial concubine had already put the cup on the small mahogany table beside her as she spoke, "Auntie, can it be that the palace has copied too many Buddhist scriptures over the years, and she is too kind to the people below." ”

Aunt Sun knelt down in fear and said, "Niangniang, the slave is dull, some things are not easy to say, and I don't dare to say nonsense." ”

The imperial concubine saw that Aunt Sun was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and she didn't want to embarrass her too much, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Auntie, get up." ”

"Niangniang, the tea is cold...... The slave maid helped the mother change a cup of hot tea again. Aunt Sun took the opportunity to remove the tea cup on the mahogany table, turned her head and instructed the little palace maid beside her, "Go and make a pot of tea for Niangniang again, don't make rime tea, make a pot of ginseng tea." ”

"The slave knows." The little palace maid took the small enamel teapot handed by Aunt Sun and bowed out.

"Moire really ordered the shadow guards under his command, if Su Xin came out of the palace, he asked the shadow guards to hide in the dark to watch a good show, but if Su Xin escaped from the secret passage, did he want the shadow guards to escort Su Xin away at all costs?"

"Back to Niangniang, the cloud girl did tell the shadow guards below like this." Aunt Sun bowed down and replied to the imperial concubine, "Those shadow guards are all people under the old general, and they will definitely not be easily bribed. ”

The Imperial Concubine assigned to the shadow guard of the cloud pattern seems to be just an ordinary shadow guard, but in fact, she is a henchman who followed the old general Xiao to lick the blood on the battlefield, so naturally she will not be easily bribed by the cloud pattern and betray the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine's sharp phoenix eyes suddenly fell on Aunt Sun and said, "Auntie, what do you think?" ”

Aunt Sun was forced to look at the imperial concubine's gaze, and the fingers under the wide sleeves were trembling uncontrollably, but on the surface, she tried her best to maintain her composure and said: "Niangniang, the moire may have other plans, and this is just a moment of being blinded by lard and violating the will of the mother, the mother might as well give her a chance, and listen to the explanation of the cloud girl afterwards before making a difference." ”

"Mother really didn't see the wrong person." The imperial concubine actually leaned over and helped Aunt Sun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "My aunt is really a person with solid eyes, no wonder my mother insisted on asking my aunt to marry in the palace back then." ”

Aunt Sun is Mrs. Xiao's dowry maid, and the imperial concubine knew that the palace gate was as deep as the sea, so she insisted on choosing Aunt Sun to marry into the palace.

But at first, the imperial concubine did not agree to bring Aunt Sun into the palace, and the imperial concubine hoped that Aunt Sun could serve Mrs. Xiao for her life, but later Mrs. Xiao insisted that Aunt Sun follow the imperial concubine to marry to Ziyun City, and the imperial concubine saw that Mrs. Xiao was so insistent, and finally agreed to take Aunt Sun into the palace.

"Niangniang, the old lady feels sorry for you the most, and it was a thousand instructions to ask the slave to follow the maid into the palace to protect the maid." Aunt Sun unconsciously reddened her eyes when she mentioned Mrs. Xiao and said, "The slave maid is the old lady's dowry maid, and if she hadn't met the old lady's kindness, I am afraid that she would have starved to death on the street long ago." ”

Although Aunt Sun is Mrs. Xiao's dowrying maid, she is not the son of the Xiao family, but when Mrs. Xiao has not yet left the cabinet, she accidentally bought the maid in the house from the street.

"Auntie, you are the person your mother values the most, and this palace should be treated favorably to you." The imperial concubine has never spoken to Aunt Sun, but now she looked at Aunt Sun with moving eyebrows and said, "My aunt has been in the palace with this palace for more than 20 years, and my aunt should also know that this Ziyun City is a place of wealth with red walls and blue tiles in the eyes of outsiders, but for those of us who are trapped in the city, the sword light and sword shadow here are not much better than the real battlefield." ”

The imperial concubine is the youngest daughter of the Xiao family, not to mention her noble status, her appearance and talent are also the most outstanding in the imperial capital, perhaps it was the old general Xiao who moved his mind to send the imperial concubine to Ziyun City early in the morning, which will especially cherish the imperial concubine among the many children.

Although Mrs. Ye also loved Ye Lanshuang back then, she was not as good as General Xiao, and she was able to break the confinement of secular etiquette on women in order to love her daughter.

The etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty is strict, and women are not allowed to go out easily compared to men, even if it is the ninth princess who is now deeply favored, she can go out of the palace to listen to the music and watch the play, it is all Shangguan Hanyue who risked being punished by the imperial concubine.

At that time, the ladies of the imperial capital family were all taught etiquette rules by their mothers at home, and they were nagged by their mothers to learn female red embroidery, but Xiao Wenyuan could go out to listen to the drama by dressing up as a man.

General Xiao knew that although the imperial concubine when she was a girl was a daughter, she was unwilling to dance with the female red embroidery all day long, which would allow the imperial concubine to go out dressed as a man. If it weren't for the fact that General Xiao knew that one day he would send his beloved daughter to Ziyun City, where spring is not seen every year, and he had the heart to compensate the imperial concubine, presumably the imperial concubine would not have met Emperor Qi who was out of the palace at the age of spring dreams.

"Niangniang, you haven't slept well in the past few days, and you're already a little bruised now." Aunt Sun took the teapot from the little palace maid's hand, and turned to fill a cup of tea for the imperial concubine, "Niangniang, drink a cup of ginseng tea to refresh yourself." ”

The imperial concubine took the tea cup that Aunt Sun was about to put on the table, and the tea was a freshly brewed piping hot ginseng tea.

"Mother, be careful of hot hands!" Aunt Sun was afraid that the imperial concubine would be hot, so she hurriedly snatched the teacup from the imperial concubine's hand, but because of too much force, the tea in the teacup was accidentally splashed on the back of Aunt Sun's and the imperial concubine's hands.

"Slaves should be damned!" Aunt Sun was already instructing the little maid beside her as she spoke, "What are you doing here, why don't you go to the medicine box and get the jade ointment." ”

The little palace maid saw that the back of the imperial concubine's hand was red and swollen from boiling water, and she was immediately frightened on the spot, and finally heard Aunt Sun's continuous urging, so she rushed out in a hurry.

"Mother, it might hurt a little." Aunt Sun saw that many small blisters quickly appeared on the white and tender skin of the imperial concubine, and when she gritted her teeth, she had already rushed the cold water in the white porcelain teapot against the back of the imperial concubine's hand, "Niangniang, bear with it, it will soon pass." ”

"Auntie, the slave and maid have brought the ointment." The little palace maid handed a delicate small porcelain vase to Aunt Sun and said, "Auntie, quickly smear it on Niangniang." ”

"Go down, all of you." Aunt Sun was worried that the back of the imperial concubine's hand would leave a scar, and she was anxious to apply jade paste to it, but she heard the concubine repeat again, "You all retreat, this palace wants to be quiet alone." ”

"Niangniang, if you don't apply the plaster in time, I'm afraid you will leave a scar." Aunt Sun originally wanted to persuade the imperial concubine, but when she saw the imperial concubine's resentful expression, she immediately stopped her voice.

"Let me go out." Aunt Sun stood up and instructed the little palace maids beside her.

Although the little palace maids looked puzzled, they never dared to disobey Aunt Sun's wishes, even if they had already bowed behind Aunt Sun and retreated.

"Aunt Sun, Niangniang's hand is burned, if you don't apply Ruyu paste in time, I'm afraid it will leave a scar." The little palace maid looked at the direction of the inner room with some concern and said, "Auntie, you should persuade the mother." ”

"I'm waiting here, so go down." Aunt Sun saw that the little palace maid was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and finally couldn't bear to say, "If the mother is angry afterwards and wants to punish us people, I will bear it with all my might, you all retreat." ”

"Thank you aunt for being kind to us people." After thanking the little palace maids, they all bowed down and retreated.

In the eyes of outsiders, the imperial concubine is in charge of the phoenix seal on behalf of the queen and commands the six palaces, which is an example for women in the world, but Aunt Sun knows that the imperial concubine has never dared to enjoy the sunset since she entered Ziyun City.

The left prime minister's house is kind and peaceful.

"Old lady." Mama Fu retreated left and right, came to the old lady Chen's ear and said, "Su Xin next to the second lady actually hijacked the steward of Prince Heng's mansion and escaped from the palace, and now she is being blocked at the gate of the palace by people from all walks of life. ”

The old lady asked, "What news is there from Jing Ruixuan Bai's side?" ”

Mama Fu replied: "Mrs. Jing Ruixuan has already taken Qiu Yu to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the second lady in the prison of the Criminal Department has not made any moves. ”

The old lady asked again: "Is there anyone from Prince Heng's Mansion who has sent someone from the Bai Clan, but there are other people?" ”

Mama Fu replied: "Outside Prince Heng's mansion, except for the people of the Bai clan, His Royal Highness King Anjun and Concubine Li's men and horses are all guarding outside the palace, and the moire of Prince Yu and Changchun Palace is also guarding outside the palace. ”

The corner of the old lady's lips pulled up a cold smile and said, "Today's outside Prince Heng's mansion is really lively!" ”

"Old lady, the people below came to report that the outside of the palace was surrounded by crossbowmen, and it was impossible to escape if Su Xin was winged this time."
