took Yu Ying's hand and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine just talks to you, I'm waiting for you in the main hall, it's really boring to stay in this room all day, I want to go out for a walk!" ”

After that, he ignored Mama Wang's gloomy face and pulled Yu Ying out.

Yu Ying lowered her voice and asked, "What do you say my aunt is calling me now?" ”

"Either I want to knock you on the side, or I just want to have a showdown with you."

Yu Ying couldn't help but get nervous: "Then how should I refuse?" ”

"It's better if you don't refuse."

Mama Wang behind her had already followed, Zhong Ling patted the back of Yu Ying's hand, and the conversation stopped abruptly, Yu Ying only felt that her heart was up and down, and she had no idea at all.

She was also a dull person, and after Zhong Ling's attention in the past few days, she finally figured out the twists and turns, if others calculated her like this, she would definitely calculate it fiercely, but now, that person is her own aunt.

In the end, blood is thicker than water, even if she complains, she never thinks of doing it.

Before I knew it, I arrived at the place, Mama Wang reached out and knocked on the door, and the pleasant voice of the imperial concubine came from the house.

"Is Ying'er here? Come on in! ”

Mama Wang pushed open the door and walked in with the two of them, at that time, the imperial concubine was combing her hair by the palace maid, and saw Zhong Ling beside Yu Ying through the bronze mirror, and the smile on her face couldn't help but stiffen.

She originally wanted to talk to Yu Ying about it, and the matter of aunts and nephews serving a husband together is also common among the nobles of the palace, and it is nothing to say it, but there is an unfamiliar junior, and it is difficult to talk about it.

glanced at Mama Wang complainingly, Mama Wang was shocked and lowered her head.

Turning to look at Yu Ying, he changed his expression again, and said with a pleasant face: "I called you here so early, and you haven't had breakfast yet?" ”

"I've already used it, Aunt Lao remembers." Yu Ying smiled reluctantly.

"Then go get some snacks, the sisters who want to come to the harem will come out of the queen mother, and it's good to prepare early!" The imperial concubine commanded.

The palace maid next to him made a salute and went to do it.

The imperial concubine beckoned to Yu Ying and motioned for her to sit beside her, there was only one bench beside her, it would be inappropriate for Zhong Ling to go again, nodded at Yu Ying, and stood quietly in place.

The imperial concubine smiled again: "Mama, don't you want to give Miss Shen a seat?" I have a lot of rouge gouache here, all of which are things that girls like, you go and get it, if Miss Shen has a fancy to it, just take it, you saved Qi'er before, and I have time to thank you! ”

"Mother's words are serious." Zhong Ling's politeness.

Not long after, Mama Wang took the rouge gouache and took the opportunity to close the screen to block the two inside.

Zhong Ling stretched out his hand to play with the rouge, but his energy was always invested in the screen.

Thinking of it, the imperial concubine would never have imagined that she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had developed a pair of extremely sensitive ears.

Behind the screen, the imperial concubine opened the box in front of her and asked

Yu Ying's opinion: "Ying'er, which hairpin do you think your aunt wears?" ”

Yu Ying's eyes wandered on the white jade hairpin, and in the end she crossed it, took a golden hairpin with a phoenix and emerald jade, and handed it to the imperial concubine.

"My aunt has a noble status, so it's better to wear this hairpin."

Sure enough, the imperial concubine liked this hairpin, and used the hairpin to fix the broken hair in front of the bronze mirror, and said with a smile: "Ying'er still has vision." ”

After that, she sighed leisurely again, and Yu Ying looked up at her: "Auntie, what's the trouble?" ”

"It is said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, but my aunt is now old, no matter how beautiful the hairpin is, it is useless." The imperial concubine frowned deeply.

Yu Ying hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, where is this, my aunt is not very old, not to mention that it is well maintained, and she can't tell her age at all." ”

"That being said, what is this place? This is the deep palace, I only listen to the laughter of the newcomers, how can I hear the deep palace where the old people cry, I am old, and the emperor's mind has long been snatched away by those warblers and Yanyan, and he will not look at me again. The imperial concubine was still frowning, reached out to hold Yu Ying's hand, and said with a smile: "Compared with mine, your hands are really a heaven and an earth." ”

Yu Ying smiled more and more reluctantly, and could only make a look that she didn't understand the meaning of her words.

But the imperial concubine didn't intend to let her go like this, and asked again: "What does Ying'er think of this palace?" ”

"Nature is excellent."

"Then it's better for Ying'er to stay, so we don't have to suffer from separation anymore!" The imperial concubine was delighted.

Although she was mentally prepared, she still never thought that she would be so straightforward, Yu Ying was really taken aback: "Auntie, this is joking with me." ”

"You child, how can my aunt make fun of this with you." The imperial concubine said angrily, and then took Zhong Ling's hand again, with a love on her face: "I have seen Qi'er like you so much these days, and I am really gratified, this child is introverted, and he doesn't have a few words to me on weekdays, he can be so close to you, I think it is to fall in love with you, if you are willing to stay, you can see him every day, and you and my aunt and nephew will no longer have to suffer from separation." ”

Yu Ying retracted her hand, she couldn't even maintain her smile, she only felt like she had been poured a basin of cold water on her head, and it was completely cold from the inside out.

The imperial concubine sensed that she was wrong, and frowned: "Ying'er is unwilling?" ”

Yu Ying mustered up her courage, looked up at her, and said with a straight face: "Auntie, I don't want to." ”

"Why? Are you afraid that it will be difficult to move forward in this palace? You can rest assured, now the middle palace is the same as the void, in this palace except for the queen mother is the aunt, there is an aunt to protect you, you are in this palace as in the usual day. ”

Yu Ying's face turned faintly pale, and she said with a wry smile: "When I came, I told Mama Wang that I already have a sweetheart, not to mention that I just regard the emperor as my uncle, and my aunt asked me to enter the palace to serve you with a husband, I will never be able to do it." ”

The imperial concubine's face changed when she heard this: "You are now on the run, and this imperial city is the most important for you."

Good choice! You don't have to be stupid! ”

"Auntie......" Yu Ying couldn't help but be a little stunned when she looked at the fierce and vicious appearance of the imperial concubine, she was reluctant to say even a heavy word to herself before.

The imperial concubine realized her gaffe, took a deep breath, calmed down, took Yu Ying's hand, and said with a smile: "Auntie is also concerned about chaos, but Ying'er, you have to remember, aunt is for your own good, you are now at an age, you should also think about your own affairs, you said that you already have a sweetheart, what can that person bring you?" We women, the most important thing is to have a shelter from the wind and rain, in such a troubled world, nothing is more important than worry-free food and clothing, you have to think about it! ”

Yu Ying remembered Zhong Ling's advice, and secretly thought that she shouldn't blindly refuse, and after weighing it again and again, she said: "The marriage event should be the order of my parents, and my aunt asked my father what he meant first!" ”

"It's okay, I really should have asked my brother about this! The imperial concubine nodded thoughtfully.

When Yu Ying came out from behind the screen, her face was already as dead as ashes, and Zhong Ling hurriedly stepped forward to support her body.

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "I just heard it." ”

Yu Ying smiled bitterly: "I also know that I can't hide it from you, but now, you should pretend that you didn't hear it." ”

It wasn't a glorious thing at all, she thought it was ridiculous just by listening to it.

Zhong Ling helped her sit down, and it didn't take long for the voices of the concubines to talk outside the door.

The imperial concubine walked out from behind the screen and motioned for Mama Wang to let the concubines outside.

Mama Wang walked out, and after a while, the concubines walked in, and the main hall was densely packed, and there were as many as eighteen of them.

The youngest looked the same as them, and Zhong Ling sighed when he thought of the emperor's appearance.

The woman was old enough to be his granddaughter, and she was really old and strong.

"The concubine has seen the imperial concubine!"

The formation of kneeling down in unison is also spectacularly tight.

The imperial concubine waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "All sisters, get up!" ”

"Xie Huang Guifei Niangniang!" The people stood up and sat down on the wooden chairs that had been prepared earlier, no more, no less, exactly eighteen.

Zhong Ling and Yu Ying sat on the right hand side of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine pointed at them and said with a smile: "These two are my nieces in Yuyun, and they have come to visit me in Yuyun these days." ”

"I have two more green female dolls today, it turned out to be the niece of the imperial concubine, and she really followed the imperial concubine, looking so smart!" The concubine dressed in a cloisonné palace dress spoke in a hearty tone.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they all responded with him.

The imperial concubine smiled on her face: "Today's children are thin-skinned, you don't have to praise them anymore, otherwise my niece's face will burn!" ”

"The imperial concubine's words are wrong, I see that the two nieces are as old as the noble people, how can the noble people's skin be so thick?"

Zhong Ling glanced at the person who was speaking, and saw that her gaze fell

On the young concubine, I couldn't help but look at the poor man twice.

I didn't expect this to be seen by the other party, and the other party chuckled at her, and it didn't seem to be affected by words.

Everyone has complained for a long time, and now that someone has opened their mouth to point the finger at her, the rest of them naturally want to vent their anger.

"But isn't it, now that the emperor is burdened by state affairs, there are only a handful of days to come to the harem every month, and the poor sister occupies the emperor like this, wouldn't she give the rest of the sisters a way to live?"

As soon as the words fell, a sneering voice sounded: "I said Concubine Hui, your words are too polite, if you want me to say, she is clearly a fox and a charmer!" ”

The poor nobleman, who had been silent, laughed suddenly, and the laughter provoked the concubines present to be indignant.

"What do you mean, poor man?"

"I laugh at your sisters for worrying too much, who does the emperor want to pamper and whose palace does he want to go to, that is the emperor's will, since everyone can't influence the emperor's wishes, why blame me for seducing the lord!"

After that, he cast a mocking glance at the most fierce concubine who was noisy not far away, and sighed leisurely: "With this kung fu, you sisters might as well think about how to win the emperor's heart!" ”

"You! Imperial concubine, you listen to this, pity the noble people are so rampant, you have to make decisions for your sisters! ”

The emperor had a headache when he was noisy, reached out and rubbed his head, and said in a deep voice: "Don't make any noise!" ”
