Sure enough, behind all the tenderness, there is a conditional negotiation. After spending a long time with me, Qi Yan finally confided in his wish.

"Empress, if you want to take Ziyu to the palace, what is your opinion?"

Qi Yan was still stroking my hair with one hand, but his heart was not as stable as before.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has no opinion."

Qi Yan's hand stopped, and he turned to look down at me, "Really? ”

I nodded, and instead asked with a smile: "Your Majesty is afraid that this palace will not tolerate the purple jade girl?" Mrs. Pei and their palaces can accommodate them, not to mention the purple jade girl who is like a sister to the palace. ”

Qi Yan saw that I was sincere and had some truth in what I said, so he kissed me on the forehead with some gratitude.

"I thought you'd be disgusted with this."

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the concubine is indeed a little disgusted, the concubine is selfish, she doesn't want to share Her Majesty with others, even if we were a nominal husband and wife at the beginning, but it was also a husband and wife. What's more, now that we have the reality of husband and wife, the concubines are reluctant to share Your Majesty with others. ”

"Then, you're ...... fit."

"Although the concubine is reluctant to give up His Majesty, she doesn't want Your Majesty to be sad and sad, not to mention that Ziyu is a close person to whom the concubine is acquainted, and the concubine also hopes that she will be happy."

When I say such things, I can't help but feel worthless for myself, and even have a sense of humility that I have lowered my worth.

"Queen, Lone will definitely not fail you." Qi Yan took me into his arms, but in my heart I began to laugh at myself and at this man I relied on.

"Queen, Lone still needs your help."

"Needless to say, Your Majesty, the concubine knows that Your Majesty wants the concubine to persuade Ziyu to let her enter the palace first, and then discuss the matter of rehabilitating the affairs of the year together, right?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded yes.

"Does the queen think that loneliness is too much?"

"So Your Majesty knows." I smiled bitterly and said, "How can a woman not be embarrassed if she persuades another woman to marry her husband?" ”

"Lone also felt that he was a little excessive, but Lone really couldn't find the right person to persuade him."

"Your Majesty has actually not figured it out, Miss Ziyu is not unwilling to enter the palace, nor does she not want to be with Your Majesty, what she can't get over is the hurdle of her family, if Your Majesty helps Ziyu solve the matter of rehabilitating Zhaoxue one day earlier, it will naturally be a matter of course to enter the palace."

"How can Lone not know what Ziyu cares about, it's just that Lone has just ascended the throne, and he is going to overturn the decision of the first emperor, isn't it a crime of unfilial piety?"

"Your Majesty can actually use the throne as an excuse to grant amnesty to the world, at least you can not pursue past crimes or sentence some criminals lightly, so that at least the Ziyu sisters and brothers can be cleared of the crime of fugitives, and they can also see Your Majesty's sincerity."

"That's right, the queen's proposal is good."

"However, about Ziyu's entry into the palace, the concubine thinks that His Majesty still waits, first, to see Ziyu's reaction, and second, to see the Queen Mother's reaction, the concubine can guarantee His Majesty that before the case is not rehabilitated, Ziyu will definitely not leave Yunyi Courtyard."

When Qi Yan heard me make such a promise, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, but I had another plan in my heart, that was the Pei sisters.

At noon, the sky suddenly became overcast, and after a few strong winds blew over, it began to crackle and rain. Du Ruo and Cui Yun ran into the house with a pile of clothes.

"Ouch, this rain is coming, it's really fast."

I was standing in front of the table, drawing peonies with a brush, and when I saw that Du Ruo and Cuiyun were drenched, I put down my pen and asked with concern: "Why didn't you bring an umbrella out, it's soaking wet, quickly change into dry clothes!" ”

"It's okay, I'm in a hurry to collect my clothes, so I forgot to take my umbrella in a panic." Du Ruo handed over the clothes to Cui Yun and said, "Fold, remember to change your clothes." After saying that, he picked up a piece of cotton cloth and wiped his face.

At this time, Yutang walked in with an umbrella and a box of pastries in his hand.

"Niangniang, brought it from the Yunyi Courtyard." Yutang put the box on the table, I hurriedly came over, and then pulled the lid of the box, and suddenly the delicate and beautiful pastries inside were revealed.

"Yes, it seems that Ziyu is still quite attentive." I smiled with satisfaction, "It's just right to give it away." ”

"Give it away? Give it to whom. Du Ruo asked curiously on the side, "This is not Ziyu's pastry for a mother, what's the matter, the mother plans to borrow flowers to offer Buddha?" ”

"No, it's a knife to kill people."

I responded lightly, and when I heard the words "borrowing a knife to kill", Du Ruo couldn't help but be surprised: "Borrowing a knife to kill?" Whose sword will you borrow and who will you kill? ”

"We'll be out in a moment, and you'll know."

"Ah, it's raining heavily, shall we go out?"

"How nice it is on a rainy day, a rainy day is a good place to whisper."

I looked at the rain with broken beads outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "This is really a good rain, Du Ruo, you and Yutang will follow after a while, Cuiyun has offended her before before, so it's better to dodge." ”

When Du Ruo heard me say this, he immediately guessed where I was going.

"Niangniang, are you going to give the pastries made by Miss Ziyu to Mrs. Pei to eat?"

I smiled and responded, "Yes, is there a problem?" ”

Du Ruo's face was incredulous, "Mrs. Pei Lin Pei?!" She has always disliked her mother, let's go up to the pole to give gifts, is it appropriate? ”

"Du Ruo, you have to remember that there are only eternal friends and no eternal enemies. Pei Lin is jealous of this palace, in addition to status, more of this palace shares the emperor's favor with her, when she learns of this favor, there are people to fight for, and it is also a strong opponent, do you think, will she wait honestly, or choose to take the initiative? ”

"But in this case, isn't that purple jade girl ......?"

"Do you think this palace betrayed Ziyu?" I asked with a smile, and then briefly added: "Actually, the palace was hesitant at first, but His Majesty the Emperor gave the palace the greatest motivation. Since the emperor cared so much about Ziyu, how could she have something to do? So she will definitely think of other ways to prevent Ziyu from entering the palace. ”

"Niangniang, this matter really won't implicate Miss Ziyu, right?" Du Ruo was a little worried, I shook my head, and responded with a smile: "How can it be." "But in my heart, I am not sure whether the Pei sisters will follow the chess path I predicted.

I took Du Ruo and Yutang around the corridor and came to Pei Lin's palace.

Most of the houses in the harem are connected to the corridor, so that when it rains and snows, they can walk around and communicate with each other through the corridor.

Because of the cloister cover, we soon came to Pei Lin's palace. As I expected, Pei Lin didn't go out on a rainy day, and was bored in the house copying Buddhist scriptures with a brush.

"Yo, the queen has arrived, and the concubines are far away, hurry, please take a seat."

Pei Lin's tone was a little pretentious, and the tone of her tone was obviously full of dissatisfaction.

I was not polite, I sat down directly in the main seat, and looked at Pei Lin after sitting down, she was a little stunned and stood in place.

"Madame also sit, this is your palace, you are the lord, and the palace is a guest."

Although I said so, I did not give up my position as Lord at all.

Pei Lin smiled awkwardly and sat quietly on the chair next to her.

"On this rainy day, why did the queen mother suddenly come to the concubine?" Pei Lin looked at me suspiciously, and said tentatively: "Could it be that the queen has something to do and wants to explain to the concubine?" ”

"It's nothing, but I got something good and sent it to my sister to try." I signaled, and Du Ruo stepped forward and handed over the pastry box.

Pei Lin instructed the maid next to her to take it, and then very impolitely opened the lid of the box in front of me.

"Yo, such a delicate pastry, the queen made it herself?"

"This palace doesn't have that ability, this is all sent by the purple jade girl from the Yunyi Courtyard."

I deliberately accentuated the words Yunyi Courtyard and Ziyu Girl, and sure enough, Pei Lin's face suddenly became ugly.

"Purple jade? Is it Your Majesty's "The woman who hides Jiao in the Golden House?" ”

Pei Lin's anger rose, and she didn't even look at the pastry so kindly.

"Madam, don't be so angry, that purple jade girl is just your majesty's favorite, but people don't want to enter the palace, otherwise, the palace will not bend its face and accept her pastries."

Hearing me say this, Pei Lin became even more angry. "It's still a refusal and a welcome, our Emperor His Majesty is really affectionate to this purple jade girl."

"Yes, don't you let this palace help you say yes, your majesty our emperor, this time you are really sincere." I saw that Pei Lin was angry, so I hurriedly changed my tone: "You don't have to think about it, neither this palace nor you are the people that His Majesty takes the initiative to like, this palace is a kiss, you are the queen mother's choice, none of them are Your Majesty's own favorite, and you want to be included in the palace to always accompany your partner, now that you finally have one, this palace guesses, Your Majesty should not give up easily, and pursue it well." ”

"Could it be that the queen is so generous that she can allow this woman to enter the palace?"

I shook my head and persuaded with a little sincerity: "Madam, why don't you understand, our husband is the emperor, the person in the highest position in the Crescent Moon Country, what can we do if we don't want to, after all, we can't change anything, it is better to help Your Majesty promote this matter, so as to make Your Majesty a little happy." I then sighed and said, "What queen concubines, don't they all rely on the favor of His Majesty the Emperor to live?" ”

"What the queen said, hasn't His Majesty the Emperor lived in Jingtai Palace these days, if you want to talk about favor, isn't the queen the most, and you still need to fight?"

I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "Sister, you really look at the surface, this palace ran to the Nacuo tribe to toss around, and only in exchange for a little smile and a little favor from His Majesty, this palace turned out to be happy, thinking that His Majesty the Emperor would really be good to this palace, but it turned out that I didn't want this palace to talk about His Majesty and Ziyu." ”

Hearing my explanation, Pei Lin couldn't help but gloat a little: "Haha, I really didn't expect that the dignified princess of Da Zhou would be afraid of a maid by her side." Pei Linyou glanced at the pastries on the table, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "What, the queen has already said that Ziyu?" ”

I shook my head, "No, these pastries are her thanks to me, the former master, as for entering the palace, she hasn't considered it yet, but she is also afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will come by force." ”

"Then why did the queen find my concubine?" Pei Lin asked curiously: "Do you want me to help the queen mother persuade Ziyu together, or do you plan to sabotage her entry into the palace together?" ”

"What this palace has in mind is the latter situation, but now I want my sister to do it is the first situation."

Pei Lin was suddenly a little confused by me, I saw that everything that should be said was said, and what should not be said was almost said, so I shook my clothes and stood up.

"Okay, the main palace has also been out for a while, so it won't stay."

"The concubine sent the queen mother." Pei Lin suddenly took the initiative to come out to send me, and I didn't stop it, and when I passed by the bookcase, I saw the Buddhist scriptures that Pei Lin copied, so I stopped.

"My sister is good at calligraphy, and she is still copying Buddhist scriptures. I heard that the Queen Mother likes the Buddhist scriptures the most, if the palace has a beautiful and upright word of the sister, copy a Buddhist scripture and send it to the Queen Mother, presumably the Queen Mother will not be so indifferent to the palace. ”

"Niangniang, forgive the concubine for talking too much, you, you shouldn't have had an awkward relationship with the Queen Mother in the first place, even if you copy ten Buddhist scriptures now, it is estimated that the Queen Mother will not be much happy."

"Alas, so, there are some things that the palace can only deal with, and there is not even a place to reason. Forget it, it's all fate, there is no regret medicine in the world, there are only a few opportunities, if you miss it, you will miss it, isn't it, sister? ”

I pointed to Pei Lin again, and I believe that she will send someone to bring Princess Pei Jingqiu back to discuss in a while, and I believe that they can understand what I said.

"Okay, this palace is really leaving this time, sister, you can write."

With that, I turned to leave. Pei Lin rarely brought a maid to salute me and send me off. I walked out of the room, Du Ruo and Yutang following behind me.

"Niangniang, do you think Mrs. Pei will understand what you mean?" Du Ruo asked curiously.

"This palace doesn't need her to understand anything, as long as Pei Jingqiu understands."

"Yes, the Pei family sisters, most of them are sisters who call the shots." Du Ruo walked and found that the way back was a little wrong, so he reminded: "Niangniang, let's go the wrong way, this is not the way back to Jingtai Palace." ”

The corners of my mouth lifted and I explained with a smile: "Who told you that we are going back to Jingtai Palace, we still have a place to go and someone to meet." This palace hopes that she can be smarter, know how to protect herself a little wisely, and don't take the team lightly. ”

"Niangniang, who are you talking about? Who else is worth meeting in person? ”

"Ronghua Qiyue."
