The red rope tied to the bamboo slip had faded, and by the moonlight, it looked more like it was painted with a layer of gray.

Jinbao stared at the thing in his hand for a while, took a deep breath when he raised his head, and blinked violently.

It was so quiet on the palace road that he moved the stool back into the palace and closed the door again.

He was no longer in the mood to look at the stars tonight, so he found a candle to light it, and in his room, solemnly placed the bamboo slip on the table, and then sat silently on the side, staring at the bamboo slip carefully.

He didn't dare to open it, but Concubine Jing's demeanor and tone had planted roots in his mind and lingered.

Most of the palace people who were dismissed from Qionglin Palace were out of the palace, and a few went to the imperial mausoleum, which was arranged by the emperor himself, and even the virtuous concubines couldn't be contacted.

And Jingyue, who was following her, could not betray the queen mother.

Fang Cai's words didn't leave room for Jing Yue, because Jin Bao didn't want to listen to it anymore, his mind was very messy, and the things he received were too violent, he had to avoid a momentary hothead, calm down and think about it himself.

Why would she know what's behind the plaque?

said it so firmly, without the slightest hesitation.

Although it was an unfamiliar face, the way she looked at her and the tone of her voice were like a queen.

Jingyue dragged him, saying that Concubine Jing was the queen's mother, and when the mother came back, Jinbao even thought that the two people in front of him were his hallucinations.

Jingyue seems to be very loyal and dedicated to Concubine Jing, what has she experienced during this time? would you actually believe that the person in front of you who came from Dongshu and himself is the queen?!

But if it weren't for the queen, how could she be so similar to the queen's words and deeds, and so familiar with Qionglin Palace?

Jinbao felt that his brain was about to explode now, and while his reason told him that it was absolutely impossible, but the matter of Fang Cai kept destroying his reason.

Is it really the queen who is back?

That Dongshu princess. Where did it go?

Jinbao couldn't figure it out, he only felt that his body was shaking, and he couldn't even tell whether he was excited or afraid.

He is not in a hurry to find answers, time will verify the falsehood of everything and finally present the truth, so he is not in a hurry.

He could have waited a little longer.

And the matter of Mei Guiren's change of palace has come to an end, and it is the New Year's Festival.

As Qi Ying's 'new favorite', Meixi Palace is the first palace to be lit up with red lanterns after Yunde Palace.

This year's palace banquet did not invite foreign ministers, what Qi Ying meant was that it would be good for the palace concubines to accompany the queen mother.

Chu Miao is now by the side of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother naturally has no objections.

But many people know in their hearts that Qi Ying did not invite foreign ministers this year, mostly because Jiang Tingye came to the imperial capital.

Jiang Wan has already gone, if she is hosting a banquet for foreign ministers this year, will Jiang Tingye enter the palace or not? Just do it.

The banquet was set after the Queen Mother's nap, about Mo Shen.

I don't know if the queen mother did it on purpose, she was too lazy to put on her makeup, and when the time came, there were only the concubines and concubines of the palace.

Originally, a silhouette play that was going to be performed for the Queen Mother in advance did not dare to come forward, and the concubines of the palace looked around, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the situation is now.

In the end, it was Concubine Qing who opened her mouth first: "The Queen Mother has not arrived, and our sisters should also chat and gossip, lest the Queen Mother and the Emperor come and see that it is deserted here, I am afraid that the New Year's thoughts will be gone." ”

The previous incident is in the past, Concubine Qing lifted the grounding, the whole person is still full of publicity, everyone is dressed festively during the New Year's Festival, but I am afraid of colliding with the Queen Mother, too gorgeous and integrated with the surrounding decorations, the emperor looked at the eyes, so most of them chose slightly lighter clothes with red, only Concubine Qing was very dazzling in coral red, even the big agate beads on her neck were red like blood, and they looked like fire, Concubine Qing was still very unfriendly when she said this, and she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Wan opposite, It was as if Jiang Wan had set up a plan to harm her before.

Guo Zhenzhen held the teacup in her hand and gently slid the lid, but she didn't mean to drink, and finally waited until Concubine Qing couldn't hold back her mouth, she put down the teacup with a smile, and took Concubine Qing's words to lead the next topic to the situation she was willing to hear and see.

Concubine Ru said with a smile, she has always been smiling, but her words are very straightforward, no one gives face, and she rushed to Guo Zhenzhen when she opened her mouth: "Concubine Niangniang is really the most considerate person in this palace who is the most considerate of the emperor's thoughts. ”

Guo Zhenzhen's eyes froze on Concubine Ru, and as soon as the smile on her face froze, Concubine Qing next to her frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?!" Going around and around. ”

Concubine Ru immediately turned her face to look at Concubine Qing: "I'm saying that Concubine Xian Niangniang and Niangniang have a deep sisterhood." ”

Concubine Qing couldn't understand it, and when she didn't understand it, she was irritable, as if everyone was a shrewd person, and the words hidden in her words were extraordinarily high-level, as if she was a fool.

Seeing that Concubine Qing was about to have a seizure, Concubine Ru happily poured a scoop of water on her: "A few days ago, the emperor went to the palace of Concubine Xian Niangniang, but he was diligent, during this time, our Concubine Xian Niangniang had a good reputation and won the emperor's grace, such a knot, I didn't forget to intercede for Concubine Qing, so that Concubine Qing Niangniang lifted the grounding, it seems that ah, our Concubine Xian Niangniang is really virtuous, and she has learned a lot of truths around the former queen, and she lives a free and transparent life, and she has grace not counting, but also thinking about our harem sisters, Concubine Qing's mother, look, there is such a beauty as you in this plain robe, as red as the red plum in the imperial garden, how can the emperor look away? ”

In these words, he is still scolding Guo Zhenzhen.

It is the queen's duty to deal with the situation of the concubines in front of the emperor in all aspects.

Her ambition lies beneath her skin, like a swollen tumor.

Now she is supporting Concubine Qing to be her own chess piece, and most of this dress is also encouraged by Guo Zhenzhen, so 'kind', how can Concubine Qing not know?

Sure enough, after saying this, Concubine Qing showed a trace of confusion on her face, and then glanced at Guo Zhenzhen, who seemed to understand what Concubine Ru meant, and when Concubine Ru really praised her for being amazing today, she couldn't hide the smug smile on her face, raised her hand and touched the golden step on her head a little deliberately: "Really?" It's okay for Hongu to look at it himself. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a continuous voice from outside to greet the emperor.

The smugness on Concubine Qing's face immediately turned into an expectant smile, and the first one stood up, and took two steps outside, so that Qi Ying could see the first one when she saluted.

It's a pity that when Qi Ying came in, all the concubines lowered their eyes, and no one knew who Qi Ying saw at first glance.

Except for Jiang Wan.

Although she also bowed slightly, she still raised her eyes to look at Qi Ying because of her long-standing habits.

In the past, she was in the position above, and she watched him walk to her side step by step.

Now that she was no longer with him, she only made brief contact with his gaze and moved away.

There are often all kinds of rumors in the palace.

Qi Ying is more kind to the lady of this palace today, and tomorrow she will take a look at the beautiful little palace maid of that palace.

It is not uncommon to be jealous, and those who take the opportunity to take the position will never be cut off.

But Jiang Wan never believed in this.

She can see Qi Ying's eyes and his affection.

She is the one with whom he has gone through life and death.

Love, family affection, comradeship, no matter which one of them, is more credible than the words that come out of the mouths of these women.

Just like now, he is still used to being the first to find her among the women of Yingying Yanyan.

Her eyes were full of her, no matter how gorgeous the scene was, it couldn't compete with a smile from the person in front of her.

She didn't laugh, and Qi Ying's heart only sank.

It wasn't until he sat down and said something that he noticed that he was squirming and pinching the last Concubine Qing to sit down.

Probably because of the red in the afterglow, it really couldn't be ignored, Qi Ying frowned slightly and looked over, and bumped into Concubine Qing's happy little eyes.

He didn't understand Concubine Qing's twisting was actually trying to show softness, Qi Ying was still annoyed that Jiang Wan saw that he didn't smile, so he said to Concubine Qing: "What's wrong with you?" Can't sit down? Did you put nails on the stool? ”
