The sky is thousands of miles, a sunny sky, and Da'an Palace has countless corners where the sun can't find it. At such a time, the Shoukun Palace, even if it was splendid, was immediately shrouded in darkness after noon, and the entire hall seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist. Only near the temple door and partition window can people see that it is still bright outside.

The Queen Mother listened to Yan Hong's narration, her body was a little cold, there were so many people hiding behind her back and waiting for an opportunity, trying to have more of her glory and glory. Her voice was heavy and cold, and she said, "So, how are you going to help the mourning family?" ”

Yan Hong's eyes did not hesitate, only confident, he said: "A few days ago, the matter of the Empress Dowager Qi was extremely secretive, and there were vague rumors in the palace, have the Empress Dowager ever heard of it?" ”

"I heard that the Empress Dowager was screaming like a madman at that time, and the voice was unusually loud. I'm afraid that many people outside the hall have heard it, but they don't know who she is talking about. At that time, Empress Dowager Qi shouted: That woman is back! She wants to stir up great peace! Da'an is coming to an end! Finished! If she returns, you all will die!"

The warning, like a curse, made everyone's scalp tingle when they heard this, and they all guessed who "she" was in the mouth of Empress Qi. Who is the person who can make the high-ranking crown princess so frightened?

Yan Hong said: "The Empress Dowager has eyebrows for 'her' in the mouth of Empress Dowager Qi? ”

The queen mother said: "The imperial concubine is the favorite concubine of the emperor, she has no children in her life, and she raised the prince with her own hands. However, in the harem, there are many secret things. Presumably the Empress Dowager had old grudges with others before! ”

Yan Hong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "How could the Queen Mother not know? Isn't there a ready-made person who can match the person in her mouth? ”

The Queen Mother turned around suddenly, alert and wise, and immediately understood the meaning of this sentence. She's back. Who else can there be a woman who has "returned"? Su Ran! Isn't King Du's mother, Su Guifei, a woman who disappeared for six years and suddenly came back!

Yan Hong saw the change in the queen mother's color, and knew that she had understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "The queen mother is really wise, and you have already thought of everything with just a word." ”

The Queen Mother only felt that her feet were a little soft, and that sense of flutter represented a kind of excitement, an excitement of imminent victory. An evil smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Su Ran, Su Ran, I didn't expect you to be dead for so long, and you can still be used by me, which really makes the mourning family feel extremely gratified." ”

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother looked at Yan Hong and said, "As for you, the mourning family is very satisfied, so they will keep your life in their hands first." You are talented, if you can be driven by the mourning family, the mourning family will naturally not treat you badly. ”

Yan Hong bowed down and thanked: "Weichen, thank you for the trust of the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Song sat back to the top, lightly 'um', showing a light and ethereal smile, although she is over forty years old, but there is another kind of tactful style that is free from the shackles of time, even if it lacks the young and fresh like a girl, but the wisdom and calmness that has been precipitated over the years makes her better than thousands of women. "Then, this matter will be left to you. It's also a military order you set up in front of the mourning family! ”

Yan Hong's voice was calm and solemn, and he responded: "Yes." ”

Walking out of Shoukun Palace, Yan Hong glanced at the Weiyun Hall standing in the distance, revealing a meaningful smile.

……

Leaving the palace.

Although the Listening Rain Pavilion is not close to the emperor, and there is no luxurious and rare Tongding Lake Stone and other things, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are flourishing, the green shade is full of vitality, and every time it rains, the sound of Xiaoxiao rain falls everywhere, which is especially good. Yun'er walked into the inner hall step by step, unlike when she first entered the palace, she was often panicked, and her temperament became more gentle and steady. She put the teacup in front of Song Yaoxian, and then said: "It rained yesterday, and the slave maid knew why this place was called Listening to the Rain Pavilion, it was really a good place to listen to the rain." ”

The courtyard is almost full of trees and flowers, full of vitality and dense greenery, and there is no heat in the hall. Song Yaoxian sipped the tea gently, her snow-white fingertips were dyed a little pink because of the heat of the teacup, and the long delicate armor on her little finger looked extremely luxurious under the reflection of the candle flame. Hearing Yun'er's words, she said, "No matter how good a place is, if no one shares it, what's the point?" ”

Yun'er looked at her face and said, "I don't know what method the eldest girl used to provoke the emperor to be inseparable." Even Concubine Zhen was snubbed, and she lost her temper again this morning. ”

Song Yaoxian got up and walked into the court, looking at the vibrant vine trees in front of her half-covering the direct sunlight in the hot summer, and those missing pillars of light were projected on people, which was a strange and ethereal feeling.

She said: "The eldest sister has been with the Queen Mother since she was a child, and what she heard and saw was not wasted. Compared with me, she has always been the more attentive one, scheming, and fighting for power are all things she has to practice conscientiously. She suffered a loss before because she didn't understand the emperor's intentions and didn't know what the emperor wanted, so naturally there was no way to keep him. And now, she has grown wiser and crawled out of the mud pit. Of course, we must use all means to tie up the emperor firmly. ”

Yun'er said: "But, how could the emperor be at the mercy of the eldest girl." ”

Song Yaoxian said: "Of course, the emperor doesn't want to have another 'Queen Mother' around him to control him. But a moment of indulgence gave Song Yuheng a chance. Fortunately, news came from the palace that Empress Dowager Qi died in a sudden accident, and the emperor was afraid that he would soon leave for the palace. ”

Yun'er asked softly: "I didn't expect us to go back to the palace so soon, Niang Niang said, is this a good thing or a bad thing......

"Of course it's a good thing, if you drag on leaving the palace for two or three months, let Song Yuheng be entangled with the emperor like this, maybe you can go back and get out of the cold palace, and the restoration of the concubine position is just around the corner. If I can return to the palace as soon as possible, the emperor will take care of the eyes of the prince and courtiers I have just lost, and he will not easily forgive her. Coupled with trivial matters, at least he will not let Song Yuheng accompany him every day. ”

Song Yaoxian has no love for the emperor, what she says and does is not affected by feelings, and naturally everything can be distinguished. She smiled and said, "And after returning to the palace, the matter of Ji Erlan's entry into the palace will also be settled." ”

"However, Ji Erlan followed King Du to Yandang Mountain, and I don't know when I will be able to come back."

"That's okay, as long as things are settled. The longer it dragged on, the more worried the emperor became, and he snubbed others if he couldn't say it. ”

Yun'er frowned slightly, and said, "But, can Ji Erlan's fierce woman be obedient?" The slave always felt that she would not be willing to be manipulated. ”

"Then we'll have to wait until the time comes."

The two of them said this, Zhen Luo approached step by step, and when he saw Song Yaoxian here, he said with no spirit: "Concubine Rou Niangniang Jin'an." ”

Song Yaoxian said gently: "Sister Zhen, what's the matter?" looks listless, could it be that the sun is wilting? ”

Concubine Zhen stared at the green brick floor that was not stained with dust, snorted angrily, raised her eyes to look at Song Yaoxian and said, "Concubine Rou, why aren't you in a hurry?" Since we arrived at the palace, the emperor has been accompanied by Song Yaoxian almost every day, so what are we going to do? Wouldn't it be okay to bring her alone! ”

Song Yaoxian's eyes flashed, her smile became more and more kind and gentle, and she said: "Sister Zhen is quick to talk, but you can just talk about it with me, don't talk nonsense elsewhere, if you are listened to by the emperor or listened to by someone with a heart, it is inevitable that you will have to eat the head." ”

"Humph! Who would dare to give me a chop? Song beauty! Hmph, it's just a beauty! ”

"What Concubine Zhen said is that the two Zhen adults are both pillars of the country and have won the trust of the emperor. Wait for someone to offend you. However, the emperor's favor, doesn't my sister care? Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and you always have to protect the emperor's face. Therefore, it is better to say less of this kind of thing. ”

Concubine Zhen became more and more angry, she glanced at Song Yaoxian's lower abdomen, and said, "Don't you hate Concubine Rou?" You're pregnant with a prince! ”

Song Yaoxian stiffened when she said this, and her chest suddenly swelled with a wave of pain. She stabilized her mind, hatred flashed in her lowered eyes, but when she looked up again, only sadness and helplessness remained in her eyes. "But what can I do?" she said. She's my sister after all. Moreover, the emperor wants to spoil her, what can we do? ”

Concubine Zhen frowned and was about to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. Who does the emperor want to favor, what can others do!!

Song Yaoxian's heart moved, her words were soft as bewitching, and she said: "This time, she has the favor of the emperor, and when she can't return to the palace, she will be able to restore the concubine position smoothly and return to the Ruiying Palace." When the time comes, she will definitely treat the people who have ridiculed and humiliated her even harder...... Therefore, my sister must not speak disrespectfully to her at this time. ”

Concubine Zhen's pupils shrank sharply, and the handkerchief fell to the ground. The maidservant girl on the side picked it up for her and said softly: "Niangniang? ”

Concubine Zhen absentmindedly took the veil, got up and said to Song Yaoxian: "Concubine Rou, my sister is suddenly a little tired, go and rest for a while." ”

"Well, there you go."

Song Yaoxian sent her to the door, and saw the flying ink on the palace lamp hanging on the side of the pillar, and the golden tassels swayed gently with the breeze, and suddenly felt light. Yun'er was puzzled: "Didn't Niang Niang just say that the emperor would not immediately restore the eldest girl's concubine, why did she say that to Concubine Zhen again." ”

"Naturally, it made her think that this would happen."

Yun'er chewed on her words in her heart, and suddenly understood: "I don't know what she will do to the eldest girl?" ”

Song Yaoxian shook her head and looked at the shredded sunlight, and said in a fluttering voice: "No matter what she does, this palace hopes that she can succeed." ”
