The harem is a place of right and wrong. As the saying goes, three women in one play.

In order to avoid such a situation, Cai Xiaoxiao had already arranged jobs for them before. Even if you want to gossip, you can only gossip in your heart.

The things they can gossip about are nothing more than feeling strange about the queen's strange behavior recently.

But they can't explain it, and naturally the idea of possession of ghosts and gods will come out unconsciously.

However, Cai Yu's purpose is not to let them gossip, but to let them know and be a communication channel.

The queen's behavior is so weird, and the emperor is so cold to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu naturally has a lot of questions in her heart.

Only by solving these doubts can Concubine Shu regain her grace.

Concubine Shu began to think carefully about the queen.

It all started a year ago.

Since last year's Spring Festival, after Concubine Shu learned about her life experience, although Concubine Shu was very reluctant to do these things, but after all, Lord Shui was her brother, and Concubine Shu had no choice.

In any case, Concubine Shu also had to stand on her eldest brother's side, and Concubine Shu was forced to start paying close attention to the activities of the Zhaixiu Palace.

A year ago, the queen was already terminally ill, and when Fan'er left the Zhaixiu Palace for the first time, she was walking like a fly. It was too dark to see her expression clearly, but from the walking, it could be seen that she was anxious and anxious.

But that night, the servants who were guarding outside the gate of the Zhaixiu Palace saw Fan Er walking to the Qinzheng Hall without hurrying or slow.

The slave naturally didn't know what these meant, but as soon as Concubine Shu heard it, she knew the implied meaning in this step.

Therefore, that night, Concubine Shu thought that the queen had died of illness.

But how do you know, the emperor suddenly ordered the blockade of the Zhaixiu Palace, saying that it was to let the queen recuperate in peace.

Originally, Concubine Shu had planned to withdraw the guards, but she didn't expect the emperor's order to make Concubine Shu a little curious. Concubine Shu did not withdraw the servants who were guarding outside the Zhaixiu Palace.

Concubine Shu just thought at first that the emperor did not mourn in time in order to stabilize the court and Prime Minister Cai Cheng, and Concubine Shu did not have much suspicion.

Two months later, the servants who were guarding the Zhaixiu Palace suddenly rushed to report that the queen had gone out.

This made Concubine Shu a little shocked.

There is clearly a contradiction before and after, but now the queen suddenly walked out of the door of the Zhaixiu Palace by herself.

Concubine Shu hurriedly asked them to keep an eye on the queen's every move.

At this time, it is really the time for these minions to ask for credit. They all know that this matter is important, and when they go back to report it, they will definitely let them take their place.

After that, it was the jumping incident staged by the queen in Hanxu Pavilion. The minions can only wait and see from a great distance, so they can't hear what the emperor and the queen say?

When Concubine Shu heard the news, she was a little puzzled.

After thinking about it, I can't figure it out.

Soon after, the emperor again ordered the blockade of the Zhaixiu Palace, under the pretext that it was for the queen to recuperate with peace of mind.

But after that, there was no more useful news in the Zhaixiu Palace. Concubine Shu had no choice but to withdraw the minions.

In the past year or so, there are two things that Concubine Shu doesn't understand.

One is about the Queen; The other thing is about the emperor.

A few months ago, the imperial physician suddenly announced that the queen was terminally ill in the Zhaixiu Palace, and the queen's death was a matter of time.

But a few months later, the queen was diagnosed by the imperial doctor and said that there was no major problem.

Now not only is there no major problem, but it is still alive and well.

A few days ago, I picked lotus pods with Prince He and Prince Gong in the garden.

No matter what Concubine Shu thinks, she feels that it is wrong.

Originally, the queen summoned them to ask for peace last time, but Concubine Shu really wanted to meet the queen. But Fan'er said that the queen was temporarily called away by the emperor.

Concubine Shu's heart naturally can't stand it, and this kind of thing is normal for other concubines. But for Concubine Shu, she felt a great shame, and she didn't know how those concubines would make fun of her behind her back.

Therefore, after that, the queen notified the palaces to ask for peace, and the concubines also found an excuse for being sick and did not go.

Concubine Shu sat quietly alone in the room of Xunfang Palace, and he wanted to ponder these things carefully. This matter is a matter of life and death, and about the fate of Concubine Shu in the future.

The imperial physician can't be invited, but Imperial Physician Zhang is the emperor's most trusted person. If you ask Imperial Physician Zhang, you will definitely report the matter to the emperor afterwards.

The only one who understands this matter is the maid fan next to the queen. Fan Er is even worse, she is the queen's most trusted person. If you look for her, you will definitely not be able to ask half a sentence, and she will startle the snake.

However, in the Zhai Embroidery Palace, there are no other servants and fathers-in-law, which makes Concubine Shu have a headache.

Since the queen's business, there is no clue. Then send someone to keep an eye on the Zhaixiu Palace, and there will always be some gains.

In this way, only part of the queen's situation can be known, but the emperor's situation is completely unknown.

The queen can be stared at, even if she is discovered, after all, in this harem, she can just find an excuse.

But staring at the emperor, unless it is someone around the emperor. Otherwise, it will never work, once it is found that he is spying on the emperor outside, it must be a capital crime.

Concubine Shu thought about who else the emperor knew and was more familiar with.

Concubine Shu remembered the imperial guard with a knife beside the emperor, You Riveshi.

If it weren't for Concubine Shu being sent to the palace, Concubine Shu might have been his wife.

The world is impermanent, creation makes people, but Concubine Shu entered the palace. also became the emperor's favorite and favorite concubine.

Back then, Concubine Shu's elder brother just looked down on You Riveshi's family's background, born in martial arts, and had no culture. Now that all these years have passed, You Rivesch has also become the most trusted guard with a knife around the emperor.

Since Concubine Shu entered the palace, the two seem to have been in contact with each other.

Now if Concubine Shu goes to him so abruptly, it will make him uncomfortable and suspicious.

Concubine Shu recalled the beginning, and suddenly regretted entering the palace in her heart.

Concubine Shu's real name is Shui Miaomiao, although the eldest brother loves Concubine Shu very much, he has never had parents, and his brother is his only relative.

Concubine Shu is actually very dependent on her brother, but the eldest brother is very busy. Except for seeing each other in the morning, most of the time, Concubine Shu has already slept with her eldest brother before coming back.

Most of the time, Concubine Shu is alone in the house.

Over time, Concubine Shu also had the idea of wanting to go outside and have a look.

The eldest brother goes out early and returns late every day, it must be that the outside world is better than the one in this house, and the eldest brother will be like this.

Concubine Shu was 7 years old that year, and after lunch, Concubine Shu quietly got out of the dog hole in the house, wanting to go outside to have a look.

The outside world is full of flowers, and Concubine Shu soon gets lost.

Seeing that it was getting late and late, Concubine Shu was a little hungry.

Walking to a noodle stall, Concubine Shu ordered a bowl of noodles.

After eating noodles, Concubine Shu was about to leave, but was stopped by the boss and asked for noodles.

Concubine Shu has never been out of the house alone, and she used to follow her eldest brother and sit in a carriage when she left the house.

What is the silver, and how can the concubine know?

Concubine Shu looked at the boss with an ignorant and pitiful face.

The boss looked at Concubine Shu's dress and didn't look like an ordinary person, and guessed that it must be a big sister who slipped out of the house privately.

The owner was very nice and didn't embarrass the lady.

"Girl, are you lost?"

"Yes. I slipped out of the house quietly. It didn't take me long before I got lost. I'm a little hungry again, and I just happened to see your noodle stall and wanted to eat a bowl of noodles. Boss I didn't mean to, I didn't know how much money I needed to eat. Some milky voices, some grievances, yo said with some guilt.

"Don't be in a hurry, girl. You wait here for me, I'll find someone to take you home, and I'll go back as soon as you go. ”

"Thank you to the owner. When I got home, I asked my brother to pay you. ”

Concubine Shu was very obedient, sat on the stool and did not leave for a single step.

After a while, the owner returned. There was also a son behind him, who looked about the same age as the concubine.

This son, You Riveting at the right time.

You Rivesch's father is Wei Weicheng in Wei Wei, that is, Wei Weiqing's assistant.

The guard is in charge of the palace gate guards, which is a military position.

You Rivesch naturally wants to be a person like his father when he grows up.

Therefore, from You Rivesh, he wandered around the streets of the capital, wanting to learn some practical skills.

Over time, the merchants of the street and the people of the neighborhood also knew him.

"You Gongzi, this is the girl who got lost."

"What's your name?" You asked politely.

"My name is Shui Miaomiao."

"Surname Shui?" You Riveshi thought about it, among the officials with the official surname Shui in the court, You Riveshi knew one. "What's the name of the rest of your family?"

The girl replied honestly, "I still have my eldest brother at home, and the eldest brother's name is Shuirun." ”

Sure enough, it was the water master, "I know, you come with me." I'll send you home. ”

Concubine Shu followed behind You Riveshi, like a lost cat being found by its owner. Some were frightened, and some were glad to be found after being frightened.

When he arrived at Lord Shui's house, You Riveshi stood at the door and asked, "This is your house?" ”

"It's my home, thank you."

The second sister was not in the house in the afternoon, but the people in the house were in a hurry. Now that I saw that the second sister was back, I was finally relieved.

But they thought that You Riveshi had abducted the second sister, and they were very angry and wanted to catch You Riveshi and teach him a good lesson.

But where these family members are his opponents, they are beaten down in a few strokes.

You Riveting knew that he was probably in trouble today, so he didn't say anything to Shui Miaomiao, so he slipped away.

After the eldest brother came back, Concubine Shu truthfully told the eldest brother about her behavior today and how she was sent back.

Mizumi-sama also knew that he was usually too busy, and felt guilty about this sister. Therefore, Lord Shui did not scold Concubine Shu for being a big brother and neglecting her sister.

The next day, Concubine Shu's eldest brother personally took Concubine Shu to the noodle stall, not only paid Concubine Shu's face money, but also gave some silver rewards.

By the way, Lord Shui also asked about the situation of the son who sent Concubine Shu home.

The owner of the noodle stall also told Lord Shui truthfully.

Lord Shui took Concubine Shu and personally came to the door to thank the son of the You family, and You Riveshi's father also found out about it.

You Da's family has two children, the eldest brother is called You Riveshi, eight years old; There is also a 6-year-old sister, You Rixiao.

Knowing this, Lord You took the initiative to propose that the two girls could play together on weekdays, after all, they were of the same age. It's not bad to talk and talk about the secrets of the girl's family.

Mizu-sama also has this intention.

Leaving Concubine Shu at home alone, and Lord Shui has no time to accompany her, it would be good to have a playmate of the same age. Naturally, Lord Shui readily agreed to Lord You's proposal.

In this way, Concubine Shu and Xiaoxiao have also become best friends.

If the two of them want to go anywhere, You Riveshi, the elder brother, will naturally escort them.

If there is any trouble, there is also You Riveshi, the elder brother, who is on top.

The three of them are also childhood sweethearts who grew up together and spent a very happy time.

Concubine Shu has been in love with You Riveting since the day of the noodle stall.

Time flies, and Concubine Shu is also 14 or 5 years old, and it is almost time to get married.

Concubine Shu and the eldest brother have mentioned it many times, but the eldest brother always says that he will think about it again.

It should have been a matter for the man's family to propose relatives, but Concubine Shu didn't know that Lord Shui had privately approached You Riveting alone.

Master Shui told You Riveting that Miao Miao must marry a civil official, and the military attache will definitely not consider it.

You Riveshi knew what Lord Shui meant, and he didn't want to embarrass Miao Miao, so he didn't mention it to the people in the family. Even sometimes, You Riveshi didn't dare to meet Shui Miaomiao, he felt guilty.

Later, the emperor drafted a girl, and Concubine Shu was sent to the palace by the eldest brother.

At home, follow the father, marry the husband. After entering the palace, Concubine Shu naturally wanted to cut off her thoughts about You Riveting.

This is also why, Concubine Shu almost didn't go to the Qinzheng Palace to take the initiative to find the emperor, if she can, she won't see it.

Even if you have to go, you will avoid You Rivesch's duty day.

At that time, You Riveshi was not a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, but only a guard.

Concubine Shu misses the time when she was together, but now that she thinks about it, Concubine Shu can still smile.

Concubine Shu called Yuanyuan, and Concubine Shu wanted to know the whereabouts of the emperor, and also wanted to know the whereabouts of the guards with knives in front of the palace.

Concubine Shu wants to meet You Riveshi by chance, hoping to exchange his past feelings for his trust and favor, preferably with guilt.

In this way, maybe You Riveting will tell Concubine Shu some things about the emperor in the love of the year, which will be used by Concubine Shu.

Yuanyuan has survived in the palace for so many years, she knows that there are some relationships, and she can't use them at the moment, but one day, she will definitely be able to use them. When Concubine Shu was favored by the emperor in those years, Yuanyuan was very smart, and she gave many palace maids and father-in-law some favors. Therefore, this matter is not very difficult for Yuanyuan.

But it is also limited, after all, the people around the emperor, even if Yuanyuan wants to give favors, they dare not give it.

Once discovered, even Concubine Shu can't afford this crime.

However, these peripheral relationships are also good, and now they seem to be enough.

Yuanyuan quickly handed over the information that Concubine Shu asked for, and Concubine Shu was very satisfied.

In the dead of night, Concubine Shu asked Yuanyuan to paint herself a somewhat haggard makeup and change into a somewhat gray dress. Pretending to be a little sad and aimless, he walked from Xunfang Palace to Qinzheng Palace.

Concubine Shu slowly raised her head and saw that she had already walked to the Qinzheng Palace.

Concubine Shu stood alone in place, looking at the Qinzheng Hall thoughtfully.

Everyone knows the emperor's habits, even Father-in-law Li Yue has to wait outside the palace at night. You Riveshi, who was guarding with a knife in front of the emperor, could only wait outside the door.

There was a figure in the distance.

In this case, it is generally You Riveshi who stepped forward to investigate.

After all, You Riveshi is a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, if this person is not good, he can also be caught directly, so as not to delay the matter.

You Riveting stepped forward to take a look, it turned out to be Shui Miaomiao, and now she is a concubine.

After so many years, it should be the first time that the two have met so alone.

"Weichen, see Concubine Shuniang." You Riveting saluted Concubine Shu very respectfully.

"Lord You, excuse me, it doesn't have to be like this." When Concubine Shu saw someone coming, she felt inexplicably nervous. The palms of his hands were a little sweaty.

"Niangniang is now classified as a concubine, and there should still be a number of courtesies."

"It's okay if you're happy?" Concubine Shu pretended to be calm. After so many years of forbearance in the harem, this is a good learning.

"I don't know if the mother is here late at night, but if you are looking for the emperor?"

"If the palace doesn't look for the emperor, it's just that I'm bored at night, and I can't sleep, so I go out for a walk. As I walked, I walked to the Qinzheng Palace. Hongu will go back. ”

"Niangniang is alone, doesn't she have an entourage?"

"Nope."

"Wait a minute, mother." After You Riveshi finished speaking, he couldn't walk to the door, and explained to Li Yue's father-in-law that this person was a concubine. And it was Concubine Shu alone, You Riveshi was worried that there would be danger on the road, so he wanted to send Concubine Shu back to the palace. Li Yue's father-in-law naturally wanted to agree, but he still told You Riveting to go back quickly.

You Riveting agreed to Li Yue's father-in-law, and walked quickly to Concubine Shu's side, "Niangniang, it's not safe for you to go back alone this night, Weichen will send you back to the palace." ”

Concubine Shu glanced at You Riveting, "Okay." ”

The two didn't speak along the way, after all, this is the first time that the two have met alone in public.

Although the memories of childhood are vivid, now the two have different identities.

One is a concubine, and the other is a guard with a sword in front of the emperor.

The two of them walked like this, and the silence around them was so quiet that only the footsteps of the two could be heard, and there were some breathing sounds.

The bright moon on his head looks a little bleak.

Shufei felt that the road was a little short, but hoped that it could be longer.

You Riveting was next to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu's heart was beating faster, and the happiness of the two of them being together came to mind.

Concubine Shu really wanted to ask You Riveshi how she had been doing in the past few years, but Concubine Shu never dared to speak up about this kind of pretending greeting culture.

You Riveting is even more so, now Shui Miaomiao is already the emperor's concubine, and she has won the emperor's trust. Concubine Shu is not the person he should be concerned about for a long time, and it is best to do what is within the scope of her duties.

The two of them were like this, neither of them spoke the first sentence first, and just walked to the door of Xunfang Palace.

As a courtesy, Concubine Shu was very grateful to You Rivesch for sending her back.

You Riveting naturally wants to say that this is all within the scope of the matter, and it is not enough to worry about it.

When Concubine Shu returned to the palace, Yuanyuan naturally wanted to wait for Concubine Shu to wash and then go to bed.

Yuanyuan didn't ask much. If the master is willing to say it, he will naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, it's useless to ask, why embarrass the master and embarrass yourself!

This night, Concubine Shu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time.

Concubine Shu was thinking about why You Riveshi didn't take the initiative to propose marriage back then, why it was delayed again and again, and in the end, Concubine Shu was sent to the palace and became the emperor's person.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be unfavored now if I didn't understand it.

Concubine Shu has hatred and resentment in her heart, but You Riveting is indeed the person he loves the most.

。
