"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, Burmese concubine Shuxiu senhui, respectful and prudent, pure character, that is, the sun out of the palace, go to Huang Jue'an to pray for the royal blessing, in order to seek the shade of heaven, blessings and wide fall, so that the royal family will spread out, and the descendants will be for generations. Chin this. ”

After the hour, Fu Xin brought an edict to Shuihua Palace to read, and everyone in the palace kowtowed to listen to the decree.

After the reading was completed, Hua Mian Xie En received the order, got up and said to Fu Xin: "There is Lao Fu's father-in-law, I don't know what else the emperor has to order?" ”

Fu Xin looked at the palace people who were kneeling on the ground with different expressions: "The emperor has a decree, and the people of Shuihua Palace will perform their duties every day, do their own thing, and wait for the return of the concubine Niangniang." Now go all your ways. ”

As if they had received a forgiveness, they got up with joy and dispersed.

After only Hua Mian, Wan Tao and Shu Yu remained in the courtyard, Fu Xin Fang said to Hua Mian in a harmonious voice: "The emperor has asked Kang Yong and Guanghan to go to the palaces to announce the decree, and ordered the maidens of each palace to wait for Niang Niang Luan at Xihua Gate at the time of Si Si and see Niang Niang off. Shu Yu and Wan Tao can accompany Niangniang as Niangniang's personal maids, and Hua Xun and they will secretly escort Niangniang. There is less than an hour to go, so Niangniang simply packed up and got on the sedan chair. ”

Hua Mian didn't expect Pei Gongcuo to be so excited, and he was a little stunned for a while, but he soon understood his intentions. He just wanted to send her out of the palace justifiably, and use practical actions to block the mouths of Youyou, so as not to attract unnecessary suspicion and criticism after being quietly sent out of the palace. Although he did not expect him to do so for himself, his good intentions still made her very useful.

The three of them simply packed their bags and hit the road. When the sedan chair was about to reach the Xihua Gate, Hua Mian opened the curtain and looked out. At this look, my eyes couldn't help but light up, it was the first time I had seen such a battle after entering the palace. I saw that the person at the head had a golden crown and tied his hair, a dragon robe, and a majestic momentum, and on both sides of his back, there were the palace concubines who were dressed up with noble status. These women really don't miss any opportunity to show themselves in front of the emperor.

After the sedan chair stopped, Hua Mian opened the sedan curtain and was helped down by Wan Tao, she bent her knees to Pei Gongcuo Yifu and said to the concubines and concubines humbly: "You have to work hard to send each other, this palace really dare not be." I also hope that the sisters can work together to serve the emperor well, and it is not in vain that I go out of the palace to pray for everyone. ”

Zhuang Ziyan stepped forward with a smile, took Hua Mian's hand and said with a familiar attitude: "What did my sister say, we are all a family, you can go to the nunnery for the emperor and sisters to accompany the green lantern, why not let us give you a ride?" ”

"Ahem, ahem......" Pei Gongcuo cleared his throat and said, "Concubine Ai thinks it's a misunderstanding." Concubine Burmese went out of the palace this time and was very accompanied by the green lantern, she just went out of the palace for a period of time to pray for me. If someone in the harem can get pregnant because of her devotion to the Buddha, she can naturally return to the palace. ”

After the words fell, he turned to look at the concubines, and said with a warm smile: "Do you understand what I said?" ”

The concubines seemed to be taken away by his smile, and they responded in unison: "The concubine understands, thank you for the blessing of the concubine." ”

Hua Mian shuddered.

Pei Gongcuo nodded with satisfaction: "This is very good, what I am most happy to see is the harmony of the harem." In this way, I believe that all the concubines must be the same as me, and they are looking forward to the return of the concubine to the palace, right? ”

"Yes."

"Your Majesty!"

A voice abruptly interjected in the neat echo voice, and everyone followed the prestige, and saw Li Xinyi coming forward from the end of the line, and she said to Pei Gongcuo: "The concubine has a reluctant request, I hope the emperor can allow the concubine and the Burmese concubine to go to Huangjue'an to pray together." ”

"Oh?" Pei Gongcuo was a little surprised, "Why? ”

"The emperor has been taking the concubine for more than three years, and now there has been no good news, if only the Burmese concubine alone, I am afraid that in a short period of time may not be able to fulfill people's wishes, although the concubine is weak, but the concubine is willing to send a heart to the Buddha, I believe that with the strength of our sisters, it will soon be able to add joy to the harem."

"It's rare for Concubine De to have such a heart, and I am very relieved. Yes. Pei Gongcuo's eyes lit up slightly, as if countless thoughts flashed between them, and finally he was relieved, he turned to Fu Xin and said, "Order someone to go to Changchun Palace to pack some clothes for Concubine De and send them to Huang Jue'an later." ”

"Yes." Foxit was ordered to leave.

Pei Gongcuo said to Li Xinyi: "You follow the Burmese concubine to get into the carriage and take the first step, and the package will be delivered later, if you still need anything, just tell Fu Xin, I will definitely meet you one by one." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although Li Xinyi had a slight smile on her face, she was already disappointed in her heart. She thought he would be reluctant to let her stay, but he didn't even say a word to stay. Since Hua Mian entered the palace, he treated her much colder than before, but that night he gently hugged herself to sleep made her feel that he was still in love with herself, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it turned out that it was just her wishful thinking.

Pei Gongcuo said gently: "You are my beloved concubine, why should you be polite to me?" ”

Looking at the polite conversation between the two, Hua Mian always felt very awkward. Li Xinyi's actions are not unsurprising to her, which harem woman doesn't want to stay by the emperor's side to win a place, how can she give up the opportunity to compete for favor to others for no reason? Although Li Xinyi's expression did not change significantly from beginning to end, she seemed to capture a little loneliness from that calm face.

Hua Mian pondered for a while, and felt that Li Xinyi might not really want to go out of the palace to pray for blessings, she just wanted to see how the emperor reacted. If the emperor immediately objected, she would surely stay in the palace happily. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed without any intention of retaining. It's really sad to think about.

Alas, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea!

When Hua Mian came back to her senses, she was already supported by Wan Tao and sat in the carriage, and Li Xinyi opposite was quietly pulling the curtain and looking out. She followed her line of sight and saw Pei Gongcuo looking at herself in a daze, and Luo Tuo was faintly visible in her expression.

Then she remembered that she had lost her mind for a moment and had forgotten to say goodbye to him. In order to calm his emotions so that he would not do anything irrational after he left the palace, she smiled and waved at him. What puzzled her was that the look on his face was not only slightly soothing, but his brows were frowning deeper and deeper, clearly containing anger.

Hua Mian's heart jumped, it's too bad, he accidentally offended someone, he must not find an opportunity to punish himself. With a turn of his eyes, he saw that Li Xinyi on the opposite side was already sitting upright, staring straight at herself.

Hua Mian smiled kindly at her, and said without words: "Sister Defei, I have been in the palace for almost three months, and today I really saw my sister's appearance, and she is really a beautiful woman." ”

Li Xinyi was probably affected by Fang Cai's emotions, she didn't even have a smile on her face, but her tone had a sour taste: "Concubine Burmese is deeply favored, and she doesn't care about the women in the harem, and she is naturally no exception to me, and now it's really an honor to let Concubine Burmese take a look." ”

Hua Mian was choked by Li Xinyi and didn't know what to say for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what she said was not all right, so she explained: "I really didn't take the women of the harem to heart, but the reason is not as you think, but I don't want to compete for favor at all." ”

"Oh?" Li Xinyi couldn't help but feel a little interested, "Why?" ”

Why? Does she tell her that there is someone else in her heart, and she disdains to compete with his woman for the sake of a man she doesn't love? This is naturally not good, so she had to say against her will: "Since everyone serves a husband together, it is natural that they should live in harmony, and it hurts to be harmonious when they compete for favor." ”

Li Xinyi's face immediately showed disdain, she snorted inaudibly, closed her eyes and stopped talking.
