The imperial city in late autumn, the fallen trees are bleak, and it also makes people feel nostalgic. However, the atmosphere in the deep palace is no longer as gloomy as before.

In the Imperial Garden, there is also a pavilion along the pavilion, where unknown flowers and plants bloom in the grass, and hundred-year-old green pines and cypresses rise from the ground, dotted with craggy and strange stones.

In front of the strange rock, there were two palace maids, talking very happily.

"Eh, why did you say that little Xizi fell in love with Yan Chan'er, too, she is worthy of eating with the eunuch." A palace maid laughed and said disdainfully.

The palace maid's name is Mei'er, she wears a pale pink smoke gauze dress, the long skirt is embroidered with a faint lily, which also outlines her exquisite curves, pulls up the green silk, wears a tassel hairpin, curved willow eyebrows, and the eyebrows are full of beauty, however, the hatred revealed between the words in the depths of a pair of eyes also makes people dim.

"Mei'er, what do you want me to say about you? Anyway, Xiao Xizi is kind to us, you open your mouth and close your mouth is a sarcasm, so ungrateful, it's not good, right? ”

The palace maid saw that Mei'er's face was gloomy, she looked around, and then said softly: "Besides, the partition wall has ears, and the deep palace is deceitful, intrigue everywhere, don't talk nonsense, and then put yourself in." ”

"I can't get used to her appearance, she's so hateful, Xiwen, you say, they are all palace maids, why can she have Xiaoxizi to protect her..."

"Oh, it turns out that you are jealous that Yan Chan'er has the protection of Xiaoxizi, don't you want to eat against Xiaoxizi?" Xiwen immediately fell into a trance and smiled slyly.

The palace maid named Xiwen wore a blue smoke gauze dress, with an elegant bow tied around the waist, and the skirt was embroidered with broken flowers.

As soon as Mei'er heard this, she was angry, took a sip, and said: "Bah, just your mouth is fast, I am jealous of her, and it is okay for Xiao Xizi to protect her, you say, why did Xiao Xizi send Yan Chan'er to wait in front of the emperor, is the meaning of this still unclear?" He wanted Yan Chan'er to bewitch the emperor. You say, just Yan Chan'er's charming spirit, if she becomes the top of the emperor's heart, can she still have our good? I'm afraid that the person who punishes this one is you. ”

"No, it won't, Yan Chan'er and I just had some misunderstandings when we entered the palace, and she was also at fault, and after so many years, she, she wouldn't hold a grudge like this, right?" When Xiwen heard Mei'er's words, she trembled, as if she was on the edge of an abyss.

"Before that, who said that Shen Gong was deceitful and intrigued, you said you..." Before Mei'er finished speaking, she was interrupted by a noisy noise, and the two also looked at each other, and hurriedly hid behind the rocks.

Xiao Xizi pondered, and he took the palace people to search the imperial garden, but only here has not been found.

The crowd shouted in a state of impatience.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

One after another, only Xiwen and Mei'er were frightened, where can they hide people here, if they find that they are nothing, but if the emperor comes out from behind the mountain rocks, it is really terrifying.

The two of them were now leaning against the rocks and looking straight out.

Previously, the emperor was wandering in this imperial garden, his face was also melancholy, and he didn't seem to be in a very comfortable mood, the emperor gave an order to go alone, and the slave had to obey the order, and after an hour, there was still no trace of the emperor.

Hey, I finally found it, Gao Yuncheng walked past the mountain rock where the two palace maids were, walked out from behind the mountain rock, pretended to be angry, and said, "I am here, why is it so noisy?" ”

However, the first two people behind the rocks, just as they were the last reluctant to accept, immediately trembled with fright and collapsed to their knees.

Hearing this, everyone was also frightened, and the palace people were angry when they saw the emperor, and they instantly felt creepy, and they knelt on the ground one after another, begging for the emperor's forgiveness.

Seeing that the emperor was safe and sound, Xiao Xizi took a deep breath and said: "Enlighten the emperor, the emperor is angry, the slave has not seen the emperor for a long time, and he is worried about the emperor's safety. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuncheng looked at everyone: "Let's all be flat." Then he looked at Xiao Xizi, meaningful, and said, "Start the Heart Palace, I have something to ask you." ”

Xiao Xizi saw that the emperor's eyes were full of deep meaning, and he vaguely felt that something big was going to happen in the depths of his heart, and he was also worried and shuddered.

Gao Yuncheng was full of deliberation in the car, secretly funny, and then felt desolate.

No wonder, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, I thought that Xiao Xizi had been absent-minded because she saw Yan Chan'er, but now that I think about it, it is the drunkard's intention not to drink.

This is also a strange person, it seems that the matter of the cold palace that day hit him a lot, and he paved the way for his beloved, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the right way, that's because he is not interested, he can't take people's favor.

As for that Mei'er and Xiwen's mouthful women, Gao Yuncheng was lazy to pay attention to them, however, even this gave the two of them a lesson, the two were suspicious by nature, for fear that the emperor would order punishment, and the frightened two were scared and depressed all day long.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

As soon as Gao Yuncheng entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yan Chan'er pondered a cup of tea and waited.

Gao Yuncheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"This tea is really good, mellow and fragrant, I have been drinking it for the past few days, but I am not tired." The tea that Gao Yuncheng poured to Yan Chan'er was a compliment.

Gao Yuncheng noticed that Xiao Xizi's expression was very intriguing, or surprised, happy, or sad, and his heart was mixed for a while.

But Yan Chan'er was neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Thank you to the emperor, pouring tea is the duty of slaves, this tea is an ancestral craft, and the emperor likes it." ”

After speaking, Yan Chan'er smiled slightly, showing the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and her demeanor was elegant, but she was not charming, but she didn't know if she knew the arrangements and intentions of the little Xizi.

Gao Yuncheng suddenly said with a little interest: "Oh? Ancestral? ”

"Back to the emperor, yes." Yan Chan'er replied.

"The ancestral craftsmanship is rare, it should be rewarded, since the cancellation of the funeral, there are not a few palace maids who have left the palace these days, I have allowed you to leave the palace, I don't know how this reward is?" Gao Yuncheng pretended to be deep.

These palace maids are twenty-eight years old, they are in the prime of life, and leaving the palace can be regarded as a good destination, which is much better than asking for their lives in this deep palace.

Xiao Xizi was stunned at the moment, it was not something wrong, why it was so sudden.

Yan Chan'er looked dazed, and then she was anxious, and said without choice at the moment: "The emperor, the emperor, there is no one outside the palace of slaves and maids, and I also ask the emperor to be gracious and allow Chan'er to stay in the palace as a palace maid." ”

She can't leave, Xiao Xizi is willing to sacrifice herself to stay in the palace for her, how can she leave alone now.

"Oh, palace maid." Gao Yuncheng was relieved, it turned out that this was all arranged by Xiao Xizi's wishful thinking.
