Yan Qingge was wearing a pale pink palace dress with a washed color, her long skirt was floating behind her, and she had not yet tied it up, she leaned against the door and looked outside.

Will she continue to change this dress, or will she not change it? If Yan Shuyu doesn't hit the board, of course there is no need to change this clothes, but the order to play the board is given by the queen, who dares to be so bold and disobey the queen's opinion.

Just when Yan Qingge didn't know what to do, Ruyi walked over, shook his head at Yan Qingge, and said, "Miss, let's go and change our clothes back." ”

Entering the house, without waiting for Yan Qingge to ask what was going on, Ruyi whispered: "It was a few fathers-in-law from Chuxiu Palace who carried the second lady back." ”

Yan Qingge was puzzled: "Why? ”

"I don't know. It seems that the crown prince ordered not to let people move the second miss, even if it is the queen's mother. ”

The prince did this, if it was for Yan Shuyu's sake and disregarded the queen's face, the mother and son really did it openly.

couldn't watch Yan Shuyu play the board, Yan Qingge was glad in her heart, right now, she really didn't want Yan Shuyu to die.

Yan Shuyu was beaten by the queen once a few days ago, and this time she was beaten again, and her life was not guaranteed. Compared with the miserable appearance of Yan Qingge being tortured by Yan Shuyu before her rebirth, Yan Shuyu died so easily, Yan Qingge felt that it was too cheap for her.

After Ruyi returned to the palace, Yan Qingge recalled what had happened in the palace in the past few months, and said slowly: "Ruyi, you go and bring the Guanyin statue I embroidered a few days ago, and let's go out." ”

Ruyi's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked Yan Qingge: "Miss, are you talking about the Guanyin statue that you embroidered for a month?" ”

She nodded, this Guanyin statue was almost the most painstaking embroidered image she had ever made since she was reborn.

Embroidery to her point, the most difficult thing is not the skill, but the pattern.

She had also done big projects before, but whether it was the account she made for Ning Minzhi or the battlefield map embroidered for Ling Xiao, she didn't have to worry about the embroidery patterns.

But that statue of Guanyin is different.

This Guanyin statue is not the old Guanyin appearance before, and the face of Guanyin was painted by her according to Concubine Shui's youth.

Although Concubine Shui is dying of old age now, there are still traces of her appearance when she was young. In addition, Yan Qingge has seen King Zhong, as well as the three brothers and sisters Shui Ying, Shui Zhi, and Shui Mu, so he is a little sure of the appearance of the Shui family.

Ruyi was a little strange before, why the appearance of this Guanyin statue was a little strong, not as elegant as ordinary, Yan Qingge didn't tell her the reason.

Wrapping the statue of Guanyin, Yan Qingge stood up and said: "Let's go, let's go to Concubine Shui, I heard Shui Ying say that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of Concubine Shui, hurry up and not late, although she recites Buddha and doesn't love these festivals, but as juniors, we still have to bring gifts." ”

Shui Ying and Yan Qingge are good friends, but Ruyi has no doubt about him. Biling heard that Yan Qingge was going out, and immediately said, "Miss Yan, don't you tell the queen mother to go out again?" ”

Yan Qingge sneered in her heart, she usually doesn't see Bi Ling so active, she hides from the peach every day, like a cat hiding from a mouse, she doesn't see anyone all day long, but don't think that Yan Qingge doesn't know, her whereabouts are reported to the queen by Bi Ling all the time.

She smiled sincerely at Biling: "Thank you Biling for reminding me, in this way, you go and report to Niangniang, and say that we are going to meet Concubine Shui." ”

Bi Ling didn't expect Yan Qingge to actually let her out, she glanced at Tao Xi unwillingly, and trotted out with her head down.

Yan Qingge said to Tao Xi again: "You look at the house for a while, and when Biling comes back, if the queen has an explanation, you can come and tell us." ”

Taoxi didn't expect Yan Qingge to leave her in Fengzao Palace, obviously she didn't want to take her out, so she couldn't help but be stunned, but she still responded.

The two of them are the queen's eyeliner and the other is the prince's eyeliner, and they usually look at Yan Qingge's side firmly. Yan Qingge never said anything, obedient like a little rabbit, but today not only did he have to go out, but he was "bold" to get rid of them, which really surprised them.

When they went out, Yan Qingge's master and servant couldn't help but relax, without the peach that followed behind them from time to time, and Bi Ling, who was unabashedly the queen's microphone, they felt that the sky was a little bluer.

To go to the place where Concubine Shui lived, you had to cross half of the palace. Yan Qingge had been to the old lady water before, and when she was a show girl before, she was instructed by the aunt in the palace to memorize the general route in the palace, so as not to get lost.

Aunt Xiafen, who was serving Concubine Shui, was very surprised when she heard the little palace maid report that Yan Qingge was coming, and hurriedly greeted her.

Since Shui Ying made it clear that she would not go to the eldest princess of Roufu, Concubine Shui seemed to be ten years old overnight, she didn't say much, she didn't eat much, she knelt in front of the Buddha every day and chanted scriptures, her life passed rapidly, and it was useless for Ren Xiafan and a few other old palace maids who had followed her for many years to persuade her.

"Our concubine is not very good, and we can't see guests, so the girl should go back." Xia Fan heard that Yan Qingge was here to give Concubine Shui a birthday gift, and her heart warmed. Concubine Shui's birthday, no one has remembered it for a long time, it's hard for Yan Qingge to still want to get Concubine Shui, plus the current situation of the Shui family is uncertain, and it's too late for others to avoid it, just by virtue of this friendship, she Xia Fan wrote down this kindness.

Yan Qingge smiled and shook Xia Fan's hand and said, "Auntie should send things in and show them to the concubine." ”

Xia looked at Yan Qingge embarrassedly, and finally went in with the rolled up silk cloth.

In the dimly lit Buddhist hall, an oil lamp is lit. Concubine Shui's eyes were half-closed, and she knelt on the futon, her lips moving slightly.

The sound of Xia's footsteps didn't disturb her for half a minute, and her eyelashes didn't shake a little.

Xia Fan knelt lightly in front of Concubine Shui and said, "Niangniang, this is a birthday gift from Miss Yan, saying that she wants to give you a look or two." ”

Only then did Concubine Shui raise her tired eyes that had lost her luster and glanced at Xia Fan. Xia Fan understood and shook off the silk cloth.

I saw that on the snow-white silk cloth, embroidered a slightly gorgeous Guanyin, this Guanyin stood on a lotus seat, holding a net bottle, the other hand holding a willow branch dipped in nectar, smiling and sprinkled to a general kneeling under his lotus seat.

This general has a slightly sideways face, which can make people see his face clearly, this person has a beard, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and leopard eyes, although he is not very handsome, but he is very imposing.

Concubine Shui looked at the embroidered eyes, couldn't help but widen, she trembled her dry lips, her eyes were filled with tears, she was stupid for a while, stretched out a pair of hands as thin as chicken feet, with continuous age spots, and stroked the face of the man on the embroidery.

"Yuan Xi ......" bean-sized teardrops rolled down the face of Concubine Shui, she cried bitterly, grabbed the Guanyin statue, hugged it in her arms, held it tightly in her heart, and stood up in pain.

Yuan Xi is the name of the deceased Emperor.

Xia Fan had not seen the embroidered Guanyin statue, and knew nothing about its contents. She anxiously held the concubine Shui, who looked extremely painful, and said, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Shui convulsed silently and cried for a long time before she raised her moist face and said to Xia Fan: "Groom and dress me, I'll go see Miss Yan." ”

The statue of Guanyin was handed over to Xia Fan. Looking at the statue of Guanyin, Xia Fan knew why Concubine Shui was crying like this.

The man in the painting, looking at his appearance and figure, is clearly the appearance of the emperor. And the face of Guanyin is so similar to that of the water concubine when she was young.

When Concubine Shui was young, she fell in love with Yuan Xi, a child of a poor clan who was not developed at that time, and was willing not to marry him without any dowry. Later, for the sake of Yuan Xi's imperial hegemony, he gave up his wife's position and let her marry the daughter of the Hou family.

Even after ascending the throne, Yuan Xi had other concubines, but for Concubine Shui, it was still unique. If it weren't for Yuan Xi, the Shui family, who had no merit, would not have been named one of the four kings.

This Miss Yan is so capable, I don't know where I heard the story of Concubine Shui, and skillfully embroidered it into this picture of Guanyin granting Ganlin, the appearance of Guanyin in it is similar to that of Concubine Shui when she was young, and the general who received the nectar is like the Emperor Yuanxi when she was young.

No wonder she looked determined, saying that Concubine Shui had seen this picture and would definitely see her.

Concubine Shui is old, and she is a concubine, so she cleaned up and dressed up quickly, and after a while, Yan Qingge should be brought into the inner room.

She looked at Yan Qingge, who had a calm face, and sighed, "Why did you come to see me?" ”

To spend so much effort to embroider such an embroidered picture, Yan Qingge did not come here for a birthday gift.

Yan Qingge said: "Concubine Niangniang, on the first day Qingge entered the palace, Niangniang went to see Qingge and pointed out the identity of Miss Biying. Qingge has always admired it. ”

On the old face like the orange peel of the water concubine, a clear smile was revealed, Yan Qingge came here to ask for something. Come to think of it, this girl must have felt the difficulty of walking an inch in the palace, her eyes were black, and she didn't know anything.

She said slowly: "Then what do you get in exchange?" "She has been in the palace all her life, and she was the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and her foundation is so deep that ordinary people can't imagine it. Yan Qingge wants to use her intelligence channels, and he must pay a price.

"Concubine Niangniang, Shui Ying and I are friends, and Ling Xiao is also friends. The daughter and daughter-in-law of the Shui family are close friends with Qingge, and the concubine thinks that Qingge will let the two of them go? Yan Qingge said lightly.

"You really don't look like the kind of person who sweeps the snow in front of your door." Concubine Shui seemed to have swept away the haze in her heart for many days because of a bitter cry, she glanced at Yan Qingge shrewdly, and said slowly: "Then what will you do?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang, you have been in the palace all your life, and you have naturally seen too many things that turn over clouds and rain on your hands. Niangniang thinks that what can the women in the palace rely on the most? Yan Qingge said.

Concubine Shui listened to her words, and her eyes suddenly opened.
