In the hall, Yuan Ziyou looked at Ying'e, who was sitting in a corner, still bowing her head and taking care of her hair, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, he walked over and wanted to take the comb from Ying'e's hand, Ying'e was stunned for a moment, but still let go of his hand. Yuan Ziyou put down the comb, put his hands on Ying'e's shoulders, and the cold skin slowly warmed up in Yuan Ziyou's warm palms, "On such a cold day, you are still sitting here so thinly, are you not afraid of catching a cold, your body is better." I brought you some cold plum wine, and I will drink some hot water for a while to warm my stomach. ”

"The concubine's body is not tight, no matter how cold it is, it can't be cold, the emperor doesn't come these days, and the concubine watches this cold lamp sit every night, and she gradually comes to her senses."

"What have you learned, can you tell me about it?" Yuan Ziyou handed her a cup of hot tea to warm her hands.

Ying'e took the tea, put it on the table, and said resentfully, "The concubine has come to her senses, this emperor's heart is like the sea, and the concubine thinks that the depths of the sea are the other side, and she is cruising hard, but she finds that she is slowly sinking, and the darkness of the dying struggle is helpless. ”

Yuan Ziyou said dissatisfiedly, "Is the queen sick and confused these days or what, talking to me is becoming more and more meaningless, am I still wrong to come to see you today?" So that you don't have bright light, but endless darkness, and I am so wronged? ”

Ying'e pursed her lips, bit her lips lightly, and said stiffly, "The emperor took the time to see the concubines today, do you want the concubines to be flattered or grateful for the grace of the gods?" The emperor should have heard that Gao Huan's wife handed over the greeting post the day before yesterday, and wanted to enter the palace to meet the concubine, but the concubine had nothing to do with her, and it must have been arranged by Daddy. Therefore, the concubine has already sent someone to refuse, and she doesn't want to make extraneous branches, but I don't know if she is wrong. If the emperor thinks that the concubines should be seen, he will let Fuzhi pass on the decree tomorrow and summon them again. ”

"Do you have to talk to me like this, I just entered the door, I want to talk to you about husband and wife, you not only talk nonsense to comment on our relationship, but now you are choking me with the affairs of the previous dynasty." Yuanzi Yousong opened his hands on Ying'e's shoulders, suppressed his temper, and said gently, "Recently, things in the court have been chaotic and complicated, it is I who neglected you, and it is normal for you to have some grievances, then Lou Zhaojun can see you if you want to, and you will not see if you don't want to, it is all arranged by your mother's family, and it is Princess Beixiang's concern for you, it is all up to you, why ask me." It's Geometry that I came to visit the queen, and in your heart, it has become so ulterior. ”

"But it's not to blame the emperor for neglecting his concubines, but I don't know how much truth the emperor has in his thoughts about treating his concubines now, and the concubines don't dare to think about it, let alone ask, is the emperor so tired?" Ying'e said with a dead heart, as if talking about someone else's business.

Yuan Ziyou didn't answer, and shouted outside, "Xiao Songzi brings the wine, I want to have a few drinks with the queen." ”

Zhang Haosong responded outside, and hurriedly used a white jade tray to send the wine and two plates of dim sum into the house, and retreated without daring to raise his head. Although he didn't dare to look at it, he could feel that the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, and he went out and sighed, leaning on the pillar to watch the movement in the room.

Fuzhi is not worried, she knows that although Ying'e is angry in her heart, she will no longer be involuntarily shaken by warmth this time, and it sometimes takes more courage to avoid than to face it, because as long as she is conscious, how can she deceive herself, but Ying'e can't be ruthless. She seemed to be comforting Zhang Haosong, and she also seemed to be reminding herself, "People often say that when the window paper is pierced, there is no gap in between." As everyone knows, there is a layer of paper pasted in my heart, and others can't see it, so I can touch it. When I touched it, I wrote a few words on the paper, and wrote down how many times I laughed and cried today. It can be seen that sometimes that layer of paper is there, but it is good, and the days are more relaxed in a daze. ”

Zhang Haosong swallowed the phlegm blocked in his throat and cleared his throat, "If it is not broken, it will not stand, but it depends on what people think, but if it is broken, the love will be gone, but it will continue to be sealed." After speaking, he glanced at Fuzhi, only to see Fuzhi tilting his head and pulling the charcoal fire, he held back what he wanted to say, and looked down at his damaged body.

In the hall, Ying'e took the wine that Yuan Ziyou poured for her, sniffed the faint fragrance of plums, and couldn't help but praise, "If it's really good wine, is it made from the snow water on the plum?" ”

"If it's just snow water, how can it smell so rich? This is the plum blossom that the king of Chengyang selected 100 twelve-year-old plain women from the official eunuchs of Luoyang before the plum blossoms bloomed last year, and they personally picked the plum blossoms after burning incense and fasting for three months, plus the pure snow covered by the plum blossoms in the first snow. It is buried under the plum tree and is not taken out until the day before yesterday, and the dried plum branches of the previous year are used to make charcoal fire when warming the sake. It took a lot of effort to get these jars of plum wine today, which smelled fragrant and sweet, and tasted sweet and mellow, which was really the best. I was not willing to drink as much as I could, and I knew that you were also good at wine, so I brought you to drink with you. Yuan Ziyou savored it with a satisfied face, he wanted Ying'e to remember this gift.

After hearing this, Ying'e suddenly felt that this wine was tasteless, she put down the wine glass, and said lightly, "King Chengyang can make such tricks when he drinks a wine, but I don't know what kind of name this recruit is used." This wine is too precious, and the concubines don't have this blessing to drink, so the emperor should take it back. ”

"Why, I want to say that the queen wants to say that I am a faint king? I think that the Empress Dowager Hu went to Songgao Mountain, opened the left treasury, and ordered more than 100 princes, concubines, and princesses to carry cloth and silk with their strength, and they were rewarded as much as they carried. Yitong, Chen Liugong Li Chong, and Zhangwu Wang Yuanrong all fell to the ground because they carried too much, Li Chong injured his waist, and Yuanrong injured his foot. She can be ridiculous to be happy, I just drink wine. Yuan Ziyou said indignantly.

Ying'e was stunned, she never expected Yuan Ziyou to comment on Empress Dowager Hu like this, she opened her eyes wide, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the concubine didn't expect these words to come from your mouth." If the concubine is not mistaken, the emperor was not yet the emperor's attendant at that time, and he did not accompany him, how could he get this comment. The things of that year, the concubines were very clear, after the Empress Dowager Hu abolished the unruly sacrifice system on Songgao Mountain, in order to do kindness, she wanted to reward everyone. Because it was a long patrol, there was no reward, so he ordered the left treasury to be opened and the cloth inside as a reward, but the number of rewards was not specified. After the queen mother gave the order, she went to Quekou to warm water, and Liu Teng and Yuan Yi arranged the reward, so that there was a later thing, and someone made up a rumor at that time, 'Chen Liugong, King Zhang Wu, fell and injured his back and legs. Greed and morality are a kind of people, and they stain my good reputation. Unexpectedly, the emperor also believed it. ”

Yuan Ziyou looked at Ying'e coldly, "Yes, you don't know how you are at the scene, I have hearsay." I still remember the appearance of the first time I saw you, if a red plum stands on the branch, it is under the snow, it is also so bright and warm. Now you are as bleak as your heart, even if you have an aftertaste, you have lost your lushness, and your heart is like the ice cube on the eaves, which makes people look at it coldly. When did my E'er become like this? ”

Ying'e couldn't help but want to laugh after hearing this, she turned around and looked at Yuan Ziyou and said word by word, "Is the emperor here to mend the relationship with the concubines today, or does he want to show that the concubines are in love because of their declining color?" Even if the concubine once had 'the heart of Fu Jiao Sun and the disease of the first illness', she could only 'look at the bright moon and soothe her heart, and cover the mirror of the autumn wind. 'Does the emperor still want to ask when the concubines became like this?' ”

Looking at the coldness in Ying'e's eyes, Yuan Ziyou stiffened and didn't know what to do for a while. The woman in front of me, who was once as radiant as a Hehua, as bright as the sun, smiling and shy, and unstained with lead, is now as cold as frost, aggressive, and not half delicate, but even harder as a pine. He retreated, wanted to get up and leave, but the duty of his family and country pressed him on the chair like a pair of hands, and he couldn't get up. The atmosphere in the room was filled with embarrassment, he raised his wine glass and drank it up, and when he put down the wine glass, he was already warm, "It's me who has snubbed you these days, I am the lord of a country, and now my knees are still weak, and the king of Chengyang often advises me to draft, but I have always pushed back." A few days ago, he sent two beauties into the palace, but I couldn't touch the hearts of the old ministers, so I stayed by my side and named them Jia Meiren and Xi Imperial Daughter. If I neglected you because of this complaint, I came today, and you were so cold and rejecting people for thousands of miles. ”

"The concubine saw that the beauty of the Jiajia and the royal maid of the Xi Dynasty were really looking forward to the posture, moving and multi-systematic, if the colorful clouds, the emperor liked it when he saw it, and he stayed, where can the concubine put his beak. Moreover, the emperor's heart is not something that can be tied to any beautiful woman, so what are the concubines jealous of? Ying'e turned around and sat in front of the mirror, and continued to comb her hair slowly, only to see her bright eyes lowered, the light veil slid down to reveal half of her beautiful shoulders, and her weak arms were raised to match the jade snow, and the golden slam of her wrists was like a mountain spring.

Ying'e's indifference made Yuan Ziyou a little angry, but the beauty in the mirror made Yuan Ziyou's heart flutter, as if she saw her when she rescued her in the pool. "The queen doesn't believe in my heart, that is, when I show off with the queen, doesn't the queen want to be with me?"

"It is said that the emperor came to see the concubines, and the concubines should be very happy, but the concubines are really half happy. The emperor should know that Gu Ronghua had a miscarriage and collapsed, and now that he is broken, it is difficult to get pregnant, and the emperor seems to have no sentimentality at all. After Ying'e finished speaking, she looked directly into Yuan Ziyou's eyes, she knew that no matter how angry Yuan Ziyou was, she didn't dare to hurt her half a point now, and she didn't vomit or be unhappy if she had suppressed it for many years.

Yuan Ziyou's face really got worse and worse, "That's your father's concubine, why should I be sad?" ”

"The emperor dares to say that she has nothing to do with you at all? Although she tried her best to hide herself, her graceful figure, charming eyes, and her actions resembled that of a fairy Lingbo, which was clearly the foundation of many years of dance practice. If the concubine is not clumsy and blind, she should be the woman who pretended to be the Empress Dowager Hu by the Yellow River and disturbed my father's mind, but I don't know what kind of agreement Gao Huan reached with the emperor and sent her to my father's side. Her eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Empress Dowager Hu, so Daddy didn't want to delve into her origin for so long, even if he didn't want to listen to the teacher's persuasion. But the concubine is also a woman, you can see the way she looks at the emperor, and the concubine looks at you the same, the emperor, how much true feelings do you have for her? Ying'e began to get a little excited, and began to be a little hoarse when she spoke.

Yuan Ziyou flicked his sleeves and was furious, grabbed Ying'e, pinched her face and said, "Do you know who you're talking to?" The words that come out of your mouth without evidence are so righteous and awe-inspiring, I see that you are crazy, and you dare to talk nonsense like this. Is that how you see me? I'm a villain in your heart, right? ”

"Whether the concubine's words are crazy or the truth, the emperor knows best. On the edge of the Yellow River, when the concubine lies between you and your father, the concubine knows that if she falls in love with you, she is gambling, betting on your love for the concubine back then. The concubines thought about retreating, but you each selfishly let the concubines sit in the queen's seat, when the concubines wore phoenix robes, held your hands, stepped up to the top of this Taiji Palace, and overlooked the ministers when they bowed. The concubine was happy, because she could finally be with the emperor in the name of justice, no longer an uncle and sister-in-law, but a married couple, and they could be white-headed together. Unexpectedly, the concubine really didn't expect that the concubine lost the bet, the concubine is just a pawn in the game between you and your father, and now it is blocking the siege of your father, and the overall situation will be timed in the future, and the concubine will be an outcast. Your Majesty, are you right when you say that the concubines are right? Ying'e cried painfully, she covered her chest and continued, "But it doesn't matter, the concubine doesn't care, who let the concubine love you deeply, the concubine thought about leaving, and she didn't leave in Jinyang, but the concubine didn't expect that you missed the concubine without knowing whether it was true or not, and the concubine was moved to get carried away and come back obediently." From the beginning, the concubine has made it clear to the emperor that the concubine's heart is towards the emperor, but what are you guarding against the concubine? You lie on your side, if your concubine has a different heart, how dare you sleep peacefully? The concubine figured it out, in this life, the emperor's heart can't be tied together, no matter who wins between you and your father, it is only the concubine who sacrifices in the end. The concubine is so hateful, but you can't choose in life, and you can't be free in death, how do you let the concubine? The concubine asked for nothing else, that is, it really came to that day, the concubine only begged the emperor to spare the concubine's mother, younger brothers and sisters, and the concubine invited herself to become a monk. Your Majesty, the concubine begs you. ”

Yuan Ziyou's heart was softened by Ying'e's words, yes, what was wrong with her, her heart was always towards herself, "It's me who has lost you too much, queen, what else do you want, I want to do something for you." As he spoke, he approached Ying'e, wrapped his hands around her waist, and said softly, "I have always had you in my heart, nothing else, it's just that you haven't believed it." ”

Ying'e looked at Yuan Ziyou with tears in her eyes, and gradually her eyes were blurred, as if she saw the heroic young man again, she felt a little stuffy in her heart, "The concubine has nothing else to ask for, but to ask the emperor for a moment of warmth." After speaking, she hugged Yuan Ziyou and covered her lips.

Yuan Ziyou was stunned at first, he didn't expect Ying'e to be willing to have a good time with him, but the delicate lips tossed and lingered, which made Yuan Ziyou's heart gradually intoxicated, and he closed his eyes and cooperated wholeheartedly. As she gasped, he poked his tongue in and picked the fragrance between her lips and teeth. In the Jiafu Palace, the emperor is like the sea, and among the brocades, the concubines are as soft as water, rippling with endless spring.
