In the inner hall of Changchun Palace, everyone was silent for a while after listening to Mo's description.

Yi Xiangxiang glanced at Yi Ruofu, the two looked at Yi Ruojiao together, and then looked at Yi Ruofan...... When they looked at each other again, Yi Xiangxiang finally couldn't hold back her laughter.

Everyone looked at Yi Xiangxiang dumbfounded, not knowing what she was laughing at suddenly, except for Yi Ruofu.

"If the sixth sister and the seventh sister are your favorite people, who are you going to do this posterior?" Yi Xiangxiang asked Zhao Ziqian next to her after laughing, but she seemed to think of something, only to see her suppressed laughter raised again, and said while laughing: "It doesn't seem to matter much to anyone, after all, outsiders can't tell who they are, just take turns to do it." ”

The people around couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and secretly held back their laughter and didn't dare to let it out.

And Zhao Ziqian glanced at Yi Xiangxiang, but unfortunately the latter still couldn't hold back his smile.

Mrs. Sheng was also smiling, but at this time, she was obviously the most suitable to speak, so she said out and said: "Don't be joking with the queen, the edict after the seal is the saint's own order, if the saint is the queen of others, how can you write the mother's name in black and white?" ”

If you want her to say, the saint must be the queen of joy.

Mrs. Sheng has heard her husband say more than once that the new emperor Zhao Ziqian's wrists are iron-blooded, but now I look at his attitude towards the queen, which is quite conniving and spoiling.

If the saint hadn't been in love with the queen and loved it tightly, she wouldn't have believed it if she was killed.

After Zhao Ziqian heard Mrs. Sheng's words, he nodded approvingly.

His actions greatly encouraged Mrs. Sheng, so she said: "Everyone inside and outside the palace said that the emperor and queen were deeply affectionate, so it must be those who didn't have long eyes to deliberately use these nonsense words to provoke the relationship between Niangniang and the saint, and Niangniang must not take it to heart." ”

Mrs. Sheng had already discovered that her daughter-in-law's eighth sister, although she was a queen, was obviously a master who loved to listen to open words.

Yi Xiangxiang really likes to listen to straightforward words, she said after laughing: "Let Mrs. Sheng laugh, this palace also knows this reason, everyone knows this reason." But some people don't have a clear mind, so they have to embarrass themselves. ”

A pun intended.

She was not only saying that Tian Yao had no brains, but also that the sisters Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan had no brains.

Sister Hua understood this sarcasm, and her cheeks turned red.

Yi Ruojiao is average, but Yi Ruofan is more steady, she squeezed out a smile and said: "Eighth sister misunderstood, we were all too shocked at that time, so we didn't answer the concubine's question in time, who knew that this matter would be mentioned at the banquet, it was really a coincidence." ”

Yi Xiangxiang didn't care that Yi Ruofan defended her vanity, but there was one thing she agreed with, that is, today's banquet must not be as simple as a coincidence.

"Tian Yao won't attack me without a head because of a sentence that I robbed someone's seat. Even if it will, it won't be because of you. You should have been indirectly used today, and next time you have a snack. Yi Xiangxiang didn't bother to talk to Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan.

Tian Yao is hot-tempered, but not stupid. If she said that she was upset for the Yi family's sisters, Yi Xiangxiang would not believe it. There must be other twists and turns in this, but Yi Xiangxiang has no intention of pursuing it.

Yi Xiangxiang had no intention of digging deeper, but Lin was shocked because of her words, and didn't care that Zhao Ziqian was still at the scene, so she just asked:

"Utilization? Did someone deliberately arrange it? ”

"Maybe I want to get back on the field, after all, I made a lot of people lose face at the palace banquet a few days ago." Yi Xiangxiang shrugged indifferently.

Mo Shi heard the meaning of Yi Xiangxiang's words, but because Zhao Ziqian was present, he also asked a lot.

She didn't ask much, but Lin couldn't hold her breath, and only heard her say: "Sure enough, you should continue to hide, this time you have shown your edge, where can you hide from the open guns and arrows in the future!" ”

For her, the honorable Zhao Ziqian is not as important as the safety of her daughter.

Yi Xiangxiang smiled and said: "Eh, I don't know who asked me to write more poems and socialize in the first place, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married!" ”

"This time and that time! You're all a queen, what else do you need to do with those false names! Lin retorted.

The people present who didn't know the truth were confused, and after thinking about it, they realized what the conversation between the mother and daughter meant, and the previous lack of talent and virtue of the emotional queen was actually disguised!

Yi Xiangxiang saw that Lin's face was worried, and her heart warmed slightly, and she smiled and comforted:

"Mother, don't worry, what means are there in this palace? However, in the face of a position of power, no means are used. As long as the saint takes care of my Changchun Palace one day, your daughter and I can sit back and relax and be safe and sound, even if there is murder and arson on a whim one day, it will not be in the way. ”

"Actually, they just can't see this clearly, they have to engage in those who don't have it, where do they know that this is much more important to capture the emperor's heart than to embarrass others and frame others."

"If the emperor has to do it, it's a trivial matter how you exceed the rules! How else is there a saying that there is a red face and bad water, right? But I can't do disaster for your daughter, after all, I don't have that red face! ”

Yi Xiangxiang had said similar things to Lin Zhimeng before, but these days, she found that the latter might not have listened.

She reached out and took Zhao Ziqian's hand to show her intimacy with the emperor. She didn't want her relatives to think that she was living a step-by-step life in the palace, so they were worried about her.

Because in fact, she is really doing very well.

Zhao Ziqian naturally would not refuse Yi Xiangxiang's intimacy, even if he knew that the other party did it on purpose for the Yi family.

Although the people present were embarrassed by Yi Xiangxiang's bold statement, the hands of the emperor and queen also greatly appeased the Yi family's worries.

Yi Xiangxiang chatted with her grandmother and mother for a while, and then sent someone to send them all out of the palace, and after turning around, Yi Xiangxiang let go of Zhao Ziqian's hand and walked to the living room, while asking Jimei and Yingdong to remove the hairpin ring for herself.

Zhao Ziqian looked at his hand and was stunned, then walked in with Yi Xiangxiang and said, "Today's matter, I have asked the glimpse to investigate." ”

"No, I can't get around the word "competition", there's nothing to study in detail. With this manpower, it is better to continue to help me find where Liu Fangfei went. By the way, what is the origin of that Yang beauty? ”

"Yang Meiren? Which Yang beauty? Zhao Ziqian turned his head and asked Jiang Hai of the latter at the door.

Jiang Hai heard the words and came in and replied: "It's a dancing girl from the former Prince Dongyu, you gave the beauty and arranged it in the Zuiyun Pavilion of Yikun Palace." Mama Gong should have a record, but she must have not presented it to the queen. ”

There are four grandmothers around the queen who deal with trivial matters such as palace affairs, and the palace grandmother is one of them. She had actually reported it, but Yi Xiangxiang went in and out of her left ear.

And Zhao Ziqian was also reminiscing after hearing Jiang Hai's words, and found that there seemed to be such a thing, so he said to Yi Xiangxiang: "It's a dancer." ”

Everyone was ashamed.

Yi Xiangxiang saw that Zhao Ziqian still asked Jiang Hai, and knew that he had not studied the purpose of Dongyu sending Yang Meiren into the palace, so since the parties concerned didn't care and didn't think there was anything wrong, she didn't ask about it again.

She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about her." I'm going to have to squint for a while, I'm going to die. "Yi Xiangxiang.

The banquet was set up at noon, and it was almost time to apply at this time, and Yi Xiangxiang, who had to take a nap every day, was naturally sleepy.

Zhao Ziqian heard the words and said: "It is not advisable to sleep too long, so as not to miss dinner." ”

Although Yi Xiangxiang doesn't have anything to do every day, her work and rest are extremely irregular. She often slept until after the evening, then got up in the middle of the night to eat, stayed up all night after eating, and got up the next day to say goodbye, and then began to feel sleepy again.

Compared with the ancient people who went to bed early and got up early, Yi Xiangxiang's modern people's work and rest are really puzzling to everyone.

Yi Xiangxiang was sleepy, squinted at Zhao Ziqian, and sent out an invitation: "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

So after a cup of tea, Zhao Ziqian also changed his clothes and lay down on Yi Xiangxiang's phoenix.

Jiang Hai, who exited the living room, looked at the stunned little apprentice Jiang He, and said to him seriously: "Above the court is the biggest saint, and in this harem, only the queen is this!" He gave a thumbs up.

Tranquility was restored in Changchun Palace, and in the inner hall of Chongren Palace, Lin Zhimeng comforted Tian Yao, who was crying.

"Sister Lin, it's me who is not good, and you are guilty of it for me." Tian Yao remembered the scene in Changchun Palace where Lin Zhimeng pulled her to kneel down to Yi Xiangxiang together, and she was so moved in her heart.

Lin Zhimeng stretched out her hand to wipe away Tian Yao's tears with a handkerchief, and said while busy working: "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore." If you stay for a while, your eyes will be swollen from crying, but it won't be beautiful. ”

She is still like a big sister, carefully comforting Tian Yao.

As a result, Tian Yao cried even more.

Lin Zhimeng couldn't, and said to Tian Yao: "Eh, it's okay, you don't have to take it to heart, anyway, it's not the first time I've lost face in front of the queen, but I just knelt down for a while, and I often visit the shrine when I make big salutes on weekdays!" ”

"That's different!" Tian Yao shouted.

"It's good, it's different, it's different! But you can't cry like this, can you go back and rest well? Lin Zhimeng reluctantly agreed, and then she said to Hongyu behind Tian Yao: "Take your mother back to Yingyunxuan, wait for her to freshen up, and let her drink soothing tea and sleep well." ”

Ruby naturally weighed again and again.

Tian Yao originally had no intention of going back, but Lin Zhimeng persuaded her a few more words, and she returned to Yingyunxuan with the support of Hongyu.

Seeing Tian Yao and his party disappear from her field of vision, Lin Zhimeng handed the handkerchief in her hand to Qiao Sui and said, "Throw it away." ”

Her expressionless face made Qiao Sui stunned.

He Qing went to send Tian Yao out, Sui He had just helped the little palace maids to put away the tea and snacks, and Yi Qiaosui could only deal with the handkerchief by himself.

Almost in a moment, Lin Zhimeng was left alone in the inner hall of Chongren Palace.

The crisp sound of the bead curtain came, and Lin Zhimeng saw Yang Meiren open the curtain and walked out, followed by Xiangqiao.

"Lin Guifei's strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people is really a good game, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the saint, with Tian Yao's temperament, she would definitely be able to lose the queen's face to a greater extent, and make up for all the face she has lost these days for Lin Guifei. Well, that's a shame. ”

Yang Meiren said with a sigh, and then sat down in the position where Tian Yao had just been.

Lin Zhimeng looked at Yang Meiren and said coldly: "Father sent you to the palace to help me, not to say cool things here." ”

Yang Meiren felt that Lin Zhimeng was a little naïve when she heard this, and she said funny: "Concubine Lin Guifei is right, my father bothered to coax my mother, turned me, the unknown illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, into the person of Prince Dongyu, and put me into the palace with all his might, in order to help you ascend to the throne." But you don't want to think about it, if I don't want to help, what can you do to me? ”

"Yang Meiren, don't forget that your mother is still in our hands!" After Xiangqiao heard Yang Meiren's words, she threatened.

A meal made Xiangqiao no longer naïve, and made her truly realize that they were now in the palace, not the Lin family in the prime minister's mansion.

That's right, Yang Meiren is not a person from Prince Dongyu, but an illegitimate daughter secretly born and raised by Xiangye Lin Chong outside, named Zhihua. Since Lin Zhimeng was frustrated several times in the palace, Lin Chong secretly befriended Prince Dongyu, turned Lin Zhihua into Yang Zhihua, and sent her to the palace to be a beauty.

Yang Zhihua smiled: "My mother loves Lin Chong so much that she doesn't want her daughter, what do I still think about her?" ”

Her mother-in-law, Yang, is willing to be an unknown outer room. Forget it, when others asked her to contribute her daughter as a stepping stone, she could really agree.

It's ridiculous to say that it's for her good.

Yang Zhihua's self-deprecating words made Lin Zhimeng laugh, only to hear her say: "Why do you pretend to be indifferent? If you don't care about your mother, you won't come to the palace. ”

Lin Zhimeng can't describe her feelings, but now Yang Zhihua is also a pitiful person in her eyes.

Yang Zhihua sighed when she heard this: "How can the concubine be as innocent as you?" You must know that human nature does not stand up to scrutiny. Just like Lin Xiangye, who is known as the elegant and upright, actually secretly raised an outer room outside behind his family's back, who would have thought of this, right? He is a real kung fu, and until now, no one in the Lin family knows about my existence. ”

She got up and walked around the lower area, admired the scenery of the inner hall of the Shimono Palace, and continued:

"Eh, I didn't know before, it turns out that I was still a young lady of the family! But speaking of which, compared to my unknown mother, your mother Zhang is more pitiful. At least my mother knew that she loved a bastard, but Zhang always thought that she loved a humble gentleman. ”

"It's a pity, even if it's a bastard, my mother is as infatuated with him as crazy."

Yang Zhihua's words made Lin Zhimeng's eyes pass a trace of pain, in fact, when her father Lin Chong privately handed over the news about it, she was also incredulous.

Until Yang Zhihua really entered the palace.

Lin Chong is Lin Zhimeng's most beloved father, but Yang Zhihua's existence not only collapsed the image of this father's majesty, but also made Lin Zhimeng doubt human nature.

She even found out two days ago that her grandfather Lin Zhen actually didn't agree with the Lin family's daughter entering the palace. But his father has always persuaded Lin Zhenmo to fall into the name of his ancestors on the grounds that the Lin family's grandchildren are not good, and put pressure on him.

It was never Lin Zhen who really enjoyed the rights, but Lin Chong.

Regarding Yang Zhihua's words, Lin Zhimeng has no choice but to refute it.

Now she really understands that just like Zhao Ziqian, who is not close to people, will actually show his face to beggars, his gentle father is not what he seems.

She sighed and said, "I can understand your inconsistency, you think you're threatened?" My father also threatened me with my mother, so that I had to be in the back seat! None of us had a choice. As long as you help me in the future as you do today, I promise that I will definitely think of you in the future. ”

Yang Zhihua snorted coldly: "Put away your fake model, I'm not Tian Yao, I don't eat your set." It's not uncommon for me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, so don't use this to convince me. And you think I'm going to be stupid enough to believe your words? Lin Chong hasn't brought my mother into the Lin Mansion until now, but it's not just that he is reluctant to lose the arm of the Zhang family! ”

"Lin Zhimeng, although I grew up in the market, it doesn't mean that I am as brainless as Tian Yao! My mother was carried away by love, and she was even willing to enter the Lin Mansion regardless of whether she could enter the Lin Mansion or not. But I saw through it, Lin Chong, a sanctimonious hypocrite, enjoyed the pleasure of doing unknown dirty. Otherwise, there is no aunt in the Lin Mansion, and the Zhang family is not an unreasonable person, so why should he raise any outer room? ”

"Also, don't pretend to be helpless in front of me, you wish you could be a queen, right? In fact, the first emperor made you a saint's side concubine, and the reason why you didn't resist was because you felt that you would definitely be able to be a concubine in the future. You think that the first emperor wants to humiliate the Lin family, so you will endure it first, and when the first emperor leaves the holy throne, the position of the queen will be like a bag to take things, right? It's a pity, halfway to kill Yi Xiangxiang, causing your bamboo basket to be empty! ”

"It's useless to pretend to be gentle, it's useless to wash your hands and make soup, and the saints haven't given you the position of queen. So you began to pretend to be pitiful, ignoring Lin Zhixin's actions against the ninth miss and tenth prince of the Yi family, indulging Tian Yao to provoke the queen, and making the appearance of being suppressed by the queen and bullied by Concubine Kang...... Lin Zhimeng, your Lin family is really good at acting, you are, and so is Lin Chong. ”

"The life you acted, is it really the life you want?"

She looked at Lin Zhimeng with a sneer, with compassion and sympathy in her eyes.

Lin Zhimeng did not deny Yang Zhihua's words, nor did she intend to explain. At this point, she can't tell which of her true selves is.

It seems that there is a change in the dark, when did it start?

It started when she fell in love with Zhao Ziqian.

She played the piano and wrote poems to show herself, and she became the famous first beauty in Kyoto, just to attract that person's attention.

She makes herself different, she does things that no one else is uncommon, she pleases everyone, she is gentle and generous, just to be able to match him.

So now every time she sees him and Yi Xiangxiang sitting side by side on the high platform, her unwillingness becomes more and more intense!

Tian Yao is right, Yi Xiangxiang is indeed unworthy, and she also thinks that Yi Xiangxiang is unworthy.

She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Whether I want it or not, there is no way back now." ”

Yang Zhihua shook her head, looked at Lin Zhimeng and said, "You can't win against Yi Xiangxiang, you also saw it today, Tian Yao just offended Yi Xiangxiang, and the saint will abolish her." And Yi Xiangxiang just whispered a few words to the saint to calm his emotions. Lin Zhimeng, you can't understand it when you're in the game, but I don't mind telling you that you will never be able to win against Yi Xiangxiang! ”

She said word by word, as if she wanted to engrave these words into Lin Zhimeng's mind forever.

Lin Zhimeng was angry: "You ......" But before she finished speaking, her head began to ache violently, and she knocked over the cup in her hand.

Xiangqiao was shocked when he saw this: "Hurry up...... Hurry up and ask the Imperial Doctor! The mother has a headache, go and ask the imperial doctor! ”

Chongren Palace began to get busy, and Yang Meiren left Chongren Palace through the back door.

She looked at the high walls and smiled wryly.

Half a month ago, she was still the daughter of an ordinary merchant, her father ran goods all year round and came back a few times a month, and her mother took three or two slaves to accompany her at home to grow up.

But suddenly one day her mother told her that her father was the famous prime minister, and the concubine of this prime minister was in the palace as a concubine, and he wanted to send her in to help her sister, whom she had never met, ascend to the throne.

The happy family of three was shattered, and she was thrown into this pack of tigers and wolves.

Actually, it's not broken, is it? It's all fake.

She strode into the snow, creaking out of a path.
