It was night, the thunder alarmed the sleeping people, the wind and rain were mixed and the sun and the moon were gone, and the pouring rain washed away the blooming flowers mercilessly, knocking down the delicate petals piece by piece. Bai Guifei woke up from her sleep, looked at the hazy darkness outside, and whispered: "Ning Chu"

"Yes, sis, you're awake." Ning Chu hurriedly lit the candle road.

"Well, what time is it?" Bai Guifei rubbed her temples and asked in a low voice.

"Niangniang is just now, Niangniang should rest for a while. Master Xu said that it was estimated that the emperor would not wake up until lunchtime. The slave maid lit a condensing incense for the mother. Ning Chu smiled and said comfortingly.

"Well, let's do it." Bai Guifei nodded, and fell asleep with her eyes closed after speaking, Ning Chu tidied up the horns, and softly withdrew from the curtain tent, and after a while, the sweet aroma spread in the inner room of the Jiaofang Palace, and Bai Guifei fell into a dream with incense.

The early morning sun shines through the crystal water droplets, and the palace is more and more clean after being washed by the rain, and the colorful glazed tiles shine in the sun, which more and more reflects the majesty of the royal family. But the Queen Mother, who has always been an early riser, was sleepy for some reason, so she had to be taken by Aunt Lanzhi to the Heart Palace to serve the sick.

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother is unwell today, and she didn't go to the Heart Palace to serve the sick." Ning Chu lowered his eyebrows.

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Bai Guifei asked majestically.

"Yes," Ning Chu whispered back to the side.

The concubines who came to ask for peace all looked at Concubine Duan and Concubine Wen Shu, who were sitting upright, but saw that the two had no intention of answering. And He Xiurong was holding the towering pregnant belly at this time, as if he hadn't heard it. Zhao Jieyu and Rong Guiren glanced at each other, stepped forward and said flatteringly: "The queen mother is not well, the concubine thinks that the concubine must visit the queen mother, and the harem is troublesome and the concubine will retire first." ”

Rong Guiren also got up and said: "The concubine implores the concubine Niangniang to bring the concubine and others to greet the queen mother." ”

Bai Guifei looked at everyone coldly, and said with a gentle smile: "What do Sister Wen, Sister Duanfei, and Sister He think?" ”

"The concubine is unwell, and it is inconvenient to go, so please ask the concubine to forgive her sins." He Xiu Rong glanced at Bai Guifei apologetically, and said slightly.

"Well, my sister should rest more because of her heavy body." Bai Guifei was not harsh, looked at Concubine Wen and Concubine Duan with a smile and said: "The Queen Mother likes Sister Wen the most, and she also values Sister Duanfei, so the two of you went to visit the Queen Mother with the palace, right?" ”

"The Queen Mother is working hard today, most of it is due to fatigue, the concubine Niangniang is in charge of the harem and should visit, and the concubines and others will not disturb the Queen Mother." Concubine Wen said in a low voice.

"The concubine also agrees with what Concubine Niangniang said, the head of the six palaces of the concubine Niangniang is worried about the affairs of the harem, and the concubine will not disturb the queen mother." Concubine Duan smiled softly.

"Well, then the noble Rong will go with the palace." Bai Guifei raised her voice.

"Yes" Everyone got up and said goodbye, leaving Rong Guiren alone to advance or retreat, it was very embarrassing, and the other high-ranking concubines did not want to discuss the queen mother's intentions, and only let Bai Guifei visit alone, which was also afraid of disturbing the queen mother...... But now that Bai Guifei has named herself to stay, isn't it more ...... to offend Bai Guifei

"Rong Guiren, the noble concubine called you." Ning Chu said with a smile.

"Ah, yes" Rong Guiren lowered his head and followed Bai Guifei, Bai Guifei was kind, and didn't say anything more just a few words of gossip, asking what the palace could be shorter or something, but just like that, Rong Guiren also felt that his palms were sweating.

"Oops"

"What's wrong with Rong Guiren?" Bai Guifei tilted her head and asked.

"If you go back to the concubine Niangniang, the concubine will be on her feet." Rong Guiren said bitterly, as if his expression was real. But where can I get my feet on this flat ground, Bai Guifei said with a smile: "Ning Chu called the soft sedan chair to send Rong Guiren back to Lantai." ”

"Yes, sissy"

"Niangniang doesn't have to, the concubine will go back by herself, and it is important for the concubine to visit the queen mother." Rong Guiren said with a smile.

Bai Guifei smiled: "It's up to you over there." ”

After speaking, he turned around and continued to walk towards Cining Palace, Rong Guiren looked at the figure of Bai Guifei leaving, sighed slightly, stood up straight and walked towards Lantai fine.

"Niangniang, that noble man ......" Ning Chu said in a low voice.

"No problem." Bai Guifei said nonchalantly. Looking at the three big characters shining with golden light in Cining Palace, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, it seems that the Queen Mother will be changed to the Imperial Grandmother and the Queen Mother in the future.

"Bai Guifei, see you." Ning Chu stepped forward and said. The leading palace maid saw that it was Bai Guifei, so she respectfully stepped forward to greet her and said: "The slave maid has seen Bai Guifei, the Queen Mother has been tired recently, she is resting and ordering no one to be seen, please forgive me." ”

"So that's the case, so please ask the Queen Mother to give birth to a good body, and the palace will retire first." Bai Guifei said with a smile, but she was very happy in her heart, since the Queen Mother was sleepy, it meant that the medicine had an effect, and Lanzhi herself was not in her eyes, not to mention that she came this time to maintain her image of being virtuous and virtuous.

"Congratulations to the concubine"

"It's almost time for Niangniang's lunch." Ning Chu reminded in a low voice.

"Well, is the sedan ready?" Bai Guifei asked softly.

"It's ready."

"Okay, let's leave for the Heart Cultivation Palace." Bai Guifei said softly, the smile blooming at the corner of her mouth was like the most dazzling poppy in the imperial garden, with deadly poison.

Nourishing the Heart Palace, the heart of the palace, the successive emperors of the Celestial Dynasty have lived here, reviewed and reviewed, and discussed with important ministers, but at this moment the atmosphere in the Nourishing Heart Palace is solemn, the guards on the periphery, and the eunuchs serving are a little depressed, no wonder, after all, the emperor has not woken up for nearly a month, and Imperial Doctor Cao and Imperial Doctor Chu have been guarding every day without success, and now even the Queen Mother is sick, hey.

"Meet the concubine." Xiao Dezi knelt down with a smile.

"Flat" Bai Guifei said softly, still looking atmospheric and smooth.

Xiao Dezi got up with a smile and said, "I don't know how big the concubine is...... Guifei Niangniang, the Queen Mother has an order to except for the eldest princess, no one else is allowed to enter the Heart Palace, and please forgive the concubine. ”

"Father-in-law can't trust this palace?" Bai Guifei asked softly.

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said: "The concubine Niangniang is the emperor's concubine, how can the slave not believe the mother, but the queen mother's decree, the slave does not dare to disobey, and asks the mother to be sympathetic to the slave." ”

"The emperor has been bedridden for a long time, and the palace has not seen the emperor for nearly a month. Is the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Hall now? Bai Guifei frowned and asked.

Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It should be the father-in-law who told the palace that since the second highness and He Xiurong returned to the palace, the emperor fell ill, but two days later, the queen mother issued a decree not to allow me to enter the palace of nourishing the heart, the palace has to be careful, and today this palace must enter the palace of the nourishing heart." Bai Guifei frowned and walked forward.

"!" Xiao Dezi stepped forward and stopped: "Niangniang wants to resist the queen mother's decree?" ”

"This palace will ask for guilt if it resists the decree, and now the palace represents the harem concubines and concubines must see the emperor." Bai Guifei said coldly, looked angrily at the guards in front of her and said: "This palace is the emperor's concubine, and it is the responsibility to confirm the emperor's comfort and give way to the palace. ”

The four guards looked at each other and didn't know what to do, Bai Guifei didn't say much and looked at the four of them coldly, Ning Chu took a step back and clapped his hands gently, but after a while, he saw more than a dozen men dressed as guards appear in front of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Get out of the way of Hongu!" Bai Guifei's cold eyes swept over the guards present and the little dezi beside her.

Xiao Dezi sighed slightly and said, "Concubine Niangniang, please"

Bai Guifei glanced at Xiao Dezi, her lowered head was not visible, and she stepped into the heart cultivation hall that had been far away. Inhaled slightly, straightened out his clothes that were not messy, and walked inside with some trepidation.

"Eldest princess?" Bai Guifei's heart jumped violently when her eyes touched the eldest princess.

I saw the eldest princess wearing a silk embroidered cardigan skirt with spring flowers sprinkled with flowers and cloud brocade, covered with concubine-colored Qianxue yarn phoenix pattern half-sleeves, light purple shawl sprinkled with arms, a concubine-colored begonia beaded belt tied around her waist, and the hair on her head was combed into a bun with clouds, embellished with seven-tailed silk hanging beaded phoenix hairpins, and when she turned her head to look at Bai Guifei, she smiled slightly and said: "Why is the imperial sister-in-law here." ”

Bai Guifei only felt a burst of panic, the same color of clothes, the same bun, together with the phoenix hairpin is very similar, such a scene is so similar to that year, when she and Shangguan Yu first met, wearing a purple peony pattern Shu brocade five phoenix clothes, Qiaoyan looked at the tall and handsome Shangguan Yu, that day I felt like falling into a dream. But somehow a woman in the same clothes as herself appeared behind Shangguan Yu, the same purple peony patterned clothes, the same flying phoenix clothes, and her gorgeous face made her feel jealous, even if this was the royal sister who was regarded as a jewel.

No, it's because Shangguan Yu regards you as a jewel that this palace can't enter his heart, and he always grows old in this lonely deep palace......

"Imperial sister-in-law? But uncomfortable? The eldest princess asked softly.

Bai Guifei woke up from her memories and said in a low voice, "Why is the eldest princess here?" ”

"I heard that the queen mother was tired, so I came to replace it, but I didn't expect the imperial sister-in-law to come in." The eldest princess said softly.

"This palace is really not worried about the emperor's situation." Bai Guifei said softly, walked quickly to the front of the couch, and saw that Shangguan Yu was sleeping very unsteadily, and her frowning brows all reminded Bai Guifei that Shangguan Yu was about to wake up.

"The eldest princess has been tired for many days, so she will serve the emperor from this palace today." Bai Guifei snatched the silk handkerchief from the eldest princess's hand and said softly.

"The imperial sister-in-law seems to have forgotten that the queen mother has an order, except for the queen mother, the palace and the two imperial doctors, no one else can enter this palace of nourishing hearts, and the noble status of the imperial sister-in-law does not mean that she can ignore the queen mother's will." The eldest princess frowned.

"The emperor is asleep, there are many arguments in the previous dynasty, the harem is not peaceful, since the palace is in charge of the harem, it is natural to consider the worries of the concubines." Bai Guifei replied in a low voice.

The eldest princess seemed to be very unhappy, snatched back the handkerchief in Bai Guifei's hand and said, "The concubine is not worried about the palace and the queen mother?" Or does the concubine think that the palace will also rebel? ”

Bai Guifei was already anxious in her heart, and when she encountered the eldest princess's complaints and provocations, she was immediately furious, and forcibly suppressed her anger and said: "Where does the eldest princess say this, it is really the palace that can not rest assured, the emperor is not only the king of the Heavenly Empire, but also the husband of the palace, and the palace just wants to care more about the husband of the palace." ”

"The imperial sister-in-law is wrong, the emperor is the husband of the concubine, and the husband of the concubines in this harem, but the queen who is qualified to worry about in this harem." The eldest princess said unceremoniously. Such a fierce speech has long been different from the usual gentle appearance. Bai Guifei only felt angry, and she couldn't think of these things at all.

She hated her status as a concubine, hated that she couldn't get the heart of Shangguan Yu, hated the women in the harem, how long had she endured it, every time she watched the night turn to day, she only felt that she was a little older again, she used time, energy, money and all the power she could use to establish Miaoyin Pavilion, and she didn't want to endure it anymore at this moment.

"Shangguan Ruian!"

"Ahem"
