"I'm going with you!" Yu Ying couldn't wait to speak out.

Zhong Ling hurriedly said: "You can't go with me, I don't care if I'm exposed, even if the imperial concubine knows, it's just a grudge against me, but you are her niece." ”

Yu Ying hesitated a little, and Zhong Ling reminded: "With my skills, it is not difficult for a person to retreat, but what about you?" ”

Yu Ying knew that her skills were not as good as Zhong Ling, and after weighing it again and again, she hesitated: "Even if I don't follow you, you have to bring the secret guard, if there is any variable, immediately call the secret guard to inform me." ”

"He is under me, not to mention, this matter should not be publicized, if the imperial concubine knows......"

"Little Five!" Yu Ying hurriedly interrupted Zhong Ling's words, stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Ling's hand: "Although I care about the family relationship with my aunt, I am more worried about your life, if something happens to me in this Quartet Country, how should I explain to your third brother?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to eat your wine, don't forget, how can I say that I am also a general who has led thousands of troops." Zhong Ling smiled.

Yu Ying still couldn't rest assured, Zhong Ling bypassed her to curl her hair, and urged: "Mama Wang is already dissatisfied with me just now, and it can't be too late now." ”

Yu Ying suppressed her worries and helped Zhong Ling freshen up.

But when I rushed to the imperial concubine's residence, it was still a little late, and just in time for Mama Wang to come out of the house, I saw that the two were slightly stunned, and then saluted.

"The old slave is going to call the two, since you are here, let's go in quickly, the imperial concubine is waiting!"

"It's really our fault that I asked my aunt to wait." Yu Ying smiled.

Mama Wang glanced at Zhong Ling, pushed open the door and walked in.

The imperial concubine sat in the room, and there were two palace maids waiting beside her, and when she saw the two coming, she whispered two words to the palace maids beside her and sent them down.

The two stepped forward and saluted, and the imperial concubine smiled: "Hurry up, if you don't come again, this dish will be cold." ”

"It turned out that I made a mistake, and I asked the imperial concubine to atone for my sins." Zhong Ling lowered his head.

The imperial concubine's eyes turned slightly, and she said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's eat quickly!" I think it's my negligence on weekdays.,I often ask Ying'er to come to eat with me.,But I'm snubbing you.,Today, the kitchen has developed a few new dishes.,Let's all come and try it.。 ”

Zhong Ling looked at the table, there were really a few more dishes, the Quartet was sweet and sweet, and the new dishes were inseparable from pastries.

Zhong Ling walked to the table and sat down with Yu Ying.

The imperial concubine put the chopsticks in Yu Ying's bowl, and said that the parents would be short, and this was the main topic.

sighed and said, "I didn't call you yesterday, in fact, there has been something that has been bothering my aunt in the past few days, making my aunt sleepless day and night." ”

"My aunt is the imperial concubine, what else can make my aunt worry in this palace?" Yu Ying put down her chopsticks.

The imperial concubine took the opportunity to hold her hand: "Ying'er, don't you know, my aunt fell ill in the matter of giving birth to Qi'er, and she would have attacks every season, which is really grinding."

of tight. ”

"Has my aunt called the Imperial Doctor to come and see it?"

The imperial concubine shook her head lightly: "The disease in the confinement is the most entangled, and it is not easy to cure it at the root, in fact, it is nothing, but the annual sacrificial ceremony is at this time, and the queen can't get up from the sick bed, and I, as the imperial concubine, must go." ”

"It's not, last year in the palace, the county lord had an old illness, fainted in the courtyard, and after returning to the palace, he raised him in bed for half a month, which really made the old slave scared." Mama Wang spoke on the side.

The master and servant sang and harmonized, in order to lure Yu Ying into the pit.

"Auntie, did you talk to the emperor? I see that the emperor feels very sorry for my aunt, if my aunt tells him well, it is not impossible to let others go in this matter. Yu Ying held the hand of the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine looked embarrassed: "Ying'er, you are still young, I don't know my aunt's difficulties in this palace, everyone in this palace wants to climb up, they covet my position for a long time, the emperor has taken a fancy to the sacrificial ceremony, if I make a mistake in this knot, someone will blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor, I am afraid that my position as the imperial concubine will not be guaranteed!" ”

"There is also Yu Yun behind the imperial concubine, plus she gave birth to two princes for the emperor, how can the position of the imperial concubine be said to be gone?" Zhong Ling spoke slowly.

One sentence called Yu Yingru to be empowered, and she came to her senses in an instant.

The imperial concubine's face was slightly gloomy, and she looked at Zhong Ling and said with a smile: "Having said that, but you are young, how do you know that it is not easy to live in this palace, I have been begging for a living under the hands of the queen mother and the emperor all these years, and I have really had enough of these days." ”

With that, he picked up a handkerchief to hide his face and sobbed.

Zhong Ling and Yu Ying glanced at each other, Yu Ying stroked the back of the imperial concubine, and comforted: "I have heard my father say since I was a child, those who are capable work harder, I think my aunt is too good, so I have to work harder, my aunt feels that it is not easy, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is a supreme honor." ”

"You kid, you're used to making me happy!" The imperial concubine raised her eyes to look at Yu Ying and let out a strange voice.

Stretched out his hand and patted the back of Yu Ying's hand, and sighed softly: "But after your comfort, I am indeed much better." ”

"It's good if my aunt can see it, how can everything go well when people live in the world."

Mama Wang smiled when she heard this: "The county lord often says that the young lady is still a child, and the old slave now seems that the young lady has grown into an adult. ”

The imperial concubine also smiled: "Today's children have more ideas than we did then!" ”

Talking and laughing, the kung fu of a meal has passed, Zhong Ling expected that the imperial concubine would not give up, and sure enough, after finishing the meal, the imperial concubine ordered the palace people to make tea, with a posture of wanting to have a long talk with Yu Ying.

"Ying'er, in fact, my aunt called you here today because she had something to ask for."

Yu Ying sighed in her heart, and was about to speak, when the imperial concubine said to herself: "This time the sacrificial ceremony, I have to go, but the old disease has recurred in the past few days, and I really can't go far

, I just don't know if you agree. ”

The imperial concubine's eyes were scorching, Zhong Ling had already guessed what she wanted to say, and waited for her to speak.

Biting his lip, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Can you accompany your aunt in place of this sacrificial ceremony?" ”

Yu Ying was taken aback: "Aunt wants me to go with the emperor?" ”

"You are my niece, you will not lose your identity when you go, and you will not lose your identity than others to reassure me, and only you can help my aunt now, Ying'er."

Yu Ying hurriedly shook her head: "Auntie, it's not that I don't help, I'm an outsider, and it's really unruly for me to go to this ceremony." ”

"Miss, the county lord has no choice, if the young lady doesn't agree, the county lord is really lonely." Mama Wang spoke first.

The imperial concubine followed and sobbed: "I don't know your difficulties, you are young, it is inevitable to panic when such a big thing is done, but Ying'er, now besides you, my aunt can't think of anyone else." ”

"Imperial Concubine!" Zhong Ling interrupted the singing and harmony of the master and servant, and looked at the imperial concubine intently: "I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"This matter was originally ashamed to speak, Miss Shen saved Qi'er before, so I dared to speak freely in front of Miss Shen, which made Miss Shen smile." The imperial concubine wiped her tears and looked at Zhong Ling with a smile: "Miss Shen, please speak." ”

Zhong Ling chuckled twice: "Since the imperial concubine didn't treat me as an outsider, then I will have something to say, the imperial concubine let Miss Yu, a girl who has not left the cabinet, go to the sacrificial ceremony with the holy car, wouldn't she ignore Miss Yu's reputation and push her to the cusp?" ”

"This ......" the imperial concubine couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhong Ling said to himself again: "Who are the people who accompany the holy driver?" Those are all concubines in the harem, and it is not that Miss Yu is an innocent girl's family, even if the concubines with low rank in this palace are gone, it will be criticized, and at that time, one person can drown Miss Yu with a mouthful of spittle. ”

"You are presumptuous!" Mama Wang roared angrily: "Miss Shen, the county lord looks at you because you saved the lives of the five princes, and you are Miss Yu's best friend, who is the county lord?" How can I be rebuked by you? ”

"The people's women deserve to die for their crimes!" Zhong Ling knelt down at the feet of the imperial concubine: "The imperial concubine is now a fan of the authorities, since the people's daughter has the imperial concubine to take the Buddha, she can't watch this happen, if she really lets Miss Yu go to the sacrificial ceremony, it will not only damage Miss Yu's reputation, but also be afraid of being used by people with intentions, which is not good for the imperial concubine!" Today, even if the imperial concubine blames her, the people can't stay out of it! ”

The words were loud, and it sounded like he was really thinking about the imperial concubine everywhere.

The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes slightly, and got up to help Zhong Ling: "Good boy, you are dedicated to me, how can I blame you!" ”

Zhong Ling stood up and Shi Shiran saluted.

The imperial concubine turned to look at Yu Ying, with an apologetic look on her face: "Ying'er, this matter is not good for my aunt, and so is my aunt."

I was so afraid that I came up with such an inappropriate method. ”

Yu Ying shook her head lightly: "The more critical the moment, my aunt can't mess with herself, so as not to let someone with a heart take advantage of the chaos." ”

"Auntie wrote it down."

"If my aunt has nothing to do, Ying'er will retire first." Yu Ying stepped back and saluted.

The imperial concubine chuckled lightly and said, "Then you should retreat first." ”

Seeing the two disappear in front of their eyes, the smile on the imperial concubine's face dissipated little by little, and she ordered coldly: "Remove the things on the table." ”

A palace maid came in to clean up, and Mama Wang stepped forward to help the imperial concubine and walked to the inner room, and the imperial concubine tightened her hands.

"That Miss Shen isn't a good stubble."

"But no, seeing that Miss was about to agree, she wanted to cross her feet, and she knew that she would only call Miss today, so why call her." Mama Wang was a little uneasy.

The imperial concubine snorted coldly: "I underestimated that little girl, with her by Ying'er's side, I'm afraid it's going to be a bad thing!" ”

"I'm afraid that the young lady will be disgusted by this matter, even if she enters the palace, she will be resentful of the county lord, just like ...... In the past, Concubine Lin ...... "Mama Wang carefully looked at the imperial concubine's complexion.

The imperial concubine was a little impatient: "With the lessons of the past, how can I suffer another loss?" ”
