Unconsciously. The first snow fell in the capital.

This snow is not very big. Instant melting. But it still can't stop people's love and anticipation for this snow. Many children even collect snow that does not melt on tiles and stacks of wood to play.

Yan Qingge is an adult. Not so much leisure and elegance. Plus she hurt her body in the summer. The roots are damaged. Afraid of cold and heat. Just nest up at home. Talking to the hot charcoal stove and wishful thinking.

"So to speak. The emperor and empress really went to Shuiyue Nunnery to worship the emperor." Yan Qingge is interested in the boiling rumors that have been circulating outside in the past few days. Also very interested.

This matter involves the water concubine. Because of the rumored string of Buddha beads that inexplicably appeared in the Red Lotus Temple. It was when the first emperor was alive. Stringed by hand for the water concubine. Later, it was enshrined in Suigetsu-an.

"yes. Miss. Now there are some people out there who don't believe in ghosts and gods. This matter was actually asked by the water concubine to do it. said that she was trying to overturn the case for the Shui family. Tell the emperor to promote the Shui family well." Ruyi said.

Yan Qingge sneered.

That's something she can be sure of. It's definitely not the handiwork of the water lady. Even though the water concubine will do all kinds of things for the future of the water family. But he will never talk about the first emperor. Yan Qingge also doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. I just don't know who's messing with it.

As he spoke. Frost Finder brought in a round-faced woman. It's the people of the Yanwang Mansion.

The mother-in-law kowtowed to Yan Qingge. Said: "Miss Yan. Little Lord has a letter to you here. And the letter also sent you a box of citrus honey. It is a good honey specially supplied by Lingnan. Let you drink a little bit every day. Don't just focus on getting warm. It's not good to get dry."

Yan Qingge smiled and rewarded the mother-in-law. I wrapped a few pieces of good pine ink on the ingots I got today and wrapped a few sticks for Yan Xiuyu. He sent the woman away.

Open the letter and take a look. Yan Xiuyu said inside. It's also about the bizarre beads. But with Ruyi said. It's different.

Yan Xiuyu told Yan Qingge in the letter. Don't look at the rumors outside. And the emperor and queen also went to the Suigetsu Nunnery to worship. But actually. People from the Criminal Department. I've started checking. That thing came out of Suigetsu-an. Eighty percent of them were stolen. So check. It was found out. I threw it with the beads. There is also a statue of an ebony bodhisattva.

That statue wasn't worth much though. But in the rosette. There are two relics of high monks. This thing is compared to the string of Buddhist beads that the water concubine offered. It's still a lot more valuable. Now the people of the Criminal Department. I'm looking for the whereabouts of that string of Buddhist beads.

Yan Qingge's brows furrowed slightly. I rubbed two handfuls of letterhead. Suddenly called Ruyi. "I remember who mentioned it to me. Yan Shuyu seems to have gone to Shuiyue Nunnery."

"It was said by Yan Xiaowangye." Ruyi mentioned the point.

Yan Xiuyu has loved to go to the teahouse in recent years, listening to books and watching singing. Inside the teahouse in order to pursue a gimmick. From time to time, I adapt something new that happened in recent times. Say it to everyone for fun. One of the prince's concubines volunteered to go to the imperial palace to practice. Such a big deal. As soon as the news was revealed. Of course, it has aroused the curiosity of many people.

Although no one knows anything about the inside story. But because Yan Shuyu was very famous in Beijing before. Catch the wind. Those storytellers in the teahouse. Or in the name of a certain dynasty and a certain generation. made up a bloody and bizarre drama. It is said that this favorite concubine, who once had the name of the world's first talented woman, fell in love with the emperor and killed each other. The story of finally going to the Imperial Nunnery to practice.

Yan Xiuyu heard half of it. I almost didn't squirt out of my mouth. Hurry up after confirming that Yan Shuyu is in the imperial nunnery. The news was notified to Yan Qingge as soon as possible.

"This thing. I always feel . and Yan Shuyu can't escape it." Yan Qingge couldn't hold back. Here comes a sentence.

It's not that she's suspicious. But Yan Shuyu is this kind of person. Don't say it's just the Imperial Nunnery. It's to put her in prison. She can also stir things up.

Ruyi didn't expect Yan Qingge to suspect Yan Shuyu for the first time. She tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Miss. Not really. Ruyi listens to people. Those who go to the imperial nunnery to worship the emperor. Only His Majesty and the Queen Mother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not go."

"But. . . I always felt something was wrong." Yan Qingge thought about it. I think the whole thing is weird.

Not a few days later. The snow has just melted. The weather is clear. Yan Xiuyu sent a letter early in the morning. Tell Yan Qingge to go out and meet him quickly. I want her to listen to the book with myself. The storyteller. The skill described by him is earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods. And the new said passage of the book. I'm afraid I won't listen to it again. I won't hear it for the rest of my life.

Yan Qingge felt strange in his heart. But still cleaned up. I went out with Ruyi.

Yan Xiuyu was waiting for Yan Qingge in Baiyun Tower. Entered the private room. Yan Xiuyu pulled Yan Qingge with joy on his face. Beckoned her to sit down. Wave to the following. He said, "Call the storyteller."

At this time. Because it's morning. Not too many people come for recreation. The storyteller had obviously already received Yan Xiuyu's reward. Immediately began to look at the small gongs and drums. Will start the book.

Yan Qingge looked at Yan Xiuyu's excited appearance. Clapped his hand: "Why are you weird today."

"What's weird. Sister Qingge. You just listen."

Yan Qingge was pulled by him. and told her to face him who listened. I wasn't as tired of talking to her as I was before. Suddenly I felt weird. I didn't put my mind on listening to the book at all. Vaguely angry.

She was angry for a moment. I was shocked by the attitude of my little child.

She was actually snubbed by Yan Xiuyu just now. And in the sultry of the raw flame and the cultivation of feathers. Such a find. It made Yan Qingge feel very incredible in his heart. After all. She's the one who lives a lot more. Not that kind of girl anymore. Time. Yan Qingge's face turned red with shame.

Packed up some thoughts. She just started to be with Yan Xiuyu who had a secret evil smile on her face. Listen to what the storyteller on the stage is talking about.

At this time. The storyteller on stage. It's been said for a short time.

Now. He's been talking late into the night. The little nun knocked on the door of the great nobleman in the nunnery. I was ashamed to go in and deliver tea for a while.

Yan Qingge listened. I felt that something was wrong. What's going on with this little nun and the great nobleman? How to listen. So it's not right.

Next. It was the little nun who threw herself into her arms. Even the tea took people to roll into the arms of the nobles. The guards outside heard the murmuring inside. Coo-coo. A heart ape. The body is hot. I can't wait to go home and hug my mother-in-law and sleep together.

Said a fragrant and vivid joke. If it were sometime else. Yan Xiuyu called Yan Qingge to listen. Yan Qingge must have thought that Yan Xiuyu had ulterior motives. to tease her. But now. But the more she listened, the heavier it became.

Only there are some unclear wishes next to it. A blushing one is almost a persimmon.

Right in the mouth of the storyteller on stage. The little nun was rewarded by a great nobleman. Get a string of Buddhist beads in your hand. Write a touching love poem and give it to a nobleman. Let him not forget her when. Yan Qingge can already be decided. The little nun that the storyteller said. It's Yan Shuyu. And that great nobleman. It's definitely the emperor.

Yan Qingge's expression was about to crack.

She and Yan Xiuyu glanced at each other. In Yan Xiuyu's eyes, he saw a kind of smug "Come and praise me". Time. I don't even know what to say.

Stage. The storyteller's saliva flies. I also talked about the great nobleman's love for the little nun. Again to the nunnery. A kind of guard is listening to the root of the wall again. Ruyi finally couldn't stay still. With a red face, he said, "Miss. I'll go ask for another pot of tea." Fly out as if it were flying.

The story of this time. It has nothing to do with Yan Shuyu anymore. But the previous paragraph. Even if the storyteller adds fuel to the fire. Eight points off. But there must be two truths. Other words. Yan Shuyu her. Even if he didn't really dedicate himself to the emperor. Things to do. It's not far off.

"This ...... When did this book first come to people?" Yan Qingge thought about it. Asked.

"It's the new one from last night. I just happened to hear it. I gave him some money. He said. I heard a message from a personal servant of a Praetorian guard. Although some things are certainly not true. But it's alarmist enough." Yan Xiuyu Dao.

"Where is this alarmist." Yan Qingge didn't know how to describe his mood.

This kind of thing. Think about it. It's really something that Yan Shuyu can do. To be true about status. How can the crown prince be as high as an emperor who is still in good health.

Since Yan Shuyu has never been able to get the crown prince. Regardless of shame and identity. Throw your arms to the emperor. It's definitely something she's done.

And because of the identity of the emperor's woman. Even if the prince is ashamed and indignant. There's no way to do anything to her.

From a concubine to a little mother. Yan Shuyu's hand. It's amazing.

As for the string of Buddhist beads that appeared in the Red Lotus Temple before. It must be Yan Shuyu's handiwork. That's the only way. in order to lead the emperor to the Suigetsu Nunnery.

Thinking about the many female nuns on the street that she heard before. Yan Qingge has always looked down on Yan Shuyu. I can't help but be amazed by her scheming. The nun in the Suigetsu Nunnery was tied up and killed in Beijing by soup porridge. Even if the emperor and empress moved from the Red Lotus Temple to the water moon hermitage to enter the incense. Someone hurried back. It's not as good as Yan Shuyu's service. One comes and goes. Isn't that going to happen?

So one ring after another. It's really Yan Qingge's admiration.

"At the end of each year. The water concubine will go to the water moon hermitage to make incense." Yan Qingge remembered something he knew in the palace. Suddenly said: "The day when the water concubine enters the incense every year. It is the birthday of the former emperor. His Majesty and the Empress will also accompany Concubine Shui."

Yan Xiuyu slapped his thigh. Stood up suddenly: "You mean. It was just a temporary act of her. She really waited for that. It's the opportunity for the water concubine to enter the incense."

Yan Qingge nodded at Yan Xiuyu. According to what she knows about Yan Shuyu. This time. I'm afraid that Yan Shuyu will see that the time is coming. Made in a hurry. She had planned to dedicate herself. It should have been the time when the water concubine brought the emperor and the empress into the incense.

But. She still succeeded. And it was a great success.
