Since Pei Gongcuo expressed his heart to Hua Mian, he has come to Shuihua Palace every once in a month to sit down, but he never stays overnight, which really makes Hua Mian breathe a sigh of relief.

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, the palace is gradually lively, want to come to the palace to have a more prosperous scene, Hua Mian pondered, today if not take advantage of Pei Gongcuo just left to sneak out of the palace, have a good time.

Since Hua Zhen and Hua Xun were hit by the board one after another, the gossip group has become more and more dedicated. It's not easy to escape right under their noses these days.

In fact, Hua Mian had a small calculation earlier. Guanghan, the little eunuch in the imperial dining room, often went out of the palace to buy, and his body was small, almost the same height as her, so she made a human skin mask in his appearance. It's just right to use today.

She first went to the imperial dining room to steal Guanghan's waist card under the pretext of looking for food, and then returned to Shuihua Palace to summon Xiao Yangzi, and after some tweaking in the room, she dressed him up as her own, and ordered him to stay in the room as much as possible, only occasionally come out to hang around, and he changed into his eunuch uniform.

Wan Tao didn't agree at first, she said worriedly: "Xiao Yangzi is Concubine Zhuang Xian's person, aren't you afraid that he will tell Concubine Zhuang Xian about this, and then spread it to the emperor's ears?" ”

Hua Mian didn't care: "He is an accomplice, if the emperor knows, maybe he will be the first to cut him, it's too late for him to protect himself, how dare he speak out." ”

Wan Tao thought about it, so he let Hua Mian do it.

It was getting dark, and Hua Xun on the eaves saw Wan Tao walking out of the room with a snowball in his arms, and said to the little eunuch who was bowing his head behind him: "The snowball has eaten too much, you can take it around for a while." ”

Without waiting for the little eunuch to respond, the snowball jumped out of Wan Tao's arms with a "whoosh" and rushed straight out of the hall.

Wan Tao scolded: "Chase after it, be careful of your head if you lose it." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly chased after him obediently.

Wan Tao saw that the dog and the person had disappeared, turned around and called Shuyu palm lamp, and saw that there was no movement in the room, and his heart was at ease.

Hua Mian was complacent about how easily she got rid of the surveillance, but unfortunately she was summoned by Yasuyong halfway through the way, and asked her to send the new tribute oranges from the imperial dining room to the emperor.

Hua Mian was extremely depressed and wailed in his heart, wanting to find a reason to shirk it, but he was afraid of being recognized by him, so he had to hang his head and leave.

She thought that she would be able to pat her ass and leave by sending Gong Tangerine to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but who knew that Pei Gongcuo did not let her leave immediately, but ordered her to help peel the oranges.

She couldn't help but be annoyed, absentmindedly peeled off a petal and stuffed it into her mouth, until she noticed that Pei Gongcuo's eyes were a little weird, and she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly defended: "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave just helped the emperor try whether this orange is sour or sweet." ”

Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Then is this orange sour or sweet?" ”

Hua Mian smacked her lips, squinted her eyes and smiled: "Back to the emperor, this orange is juicy and flavorful, sweet and delicious, and it is really delicious." ”

Pei Gongcuo suddenly became interested, and he couldn't imagine that there was such an interesting little eunuch in this palace, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but slander, Pei Gongcuo was really verbose, although he was unhappy in his heart, he said with a smile on his face: "Back to the emperor, the slave's name is Guanghan." ”

Pei Gongcuo smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Guanghan, from today onwards, you will stay in the Heart Cultivation Hall and serve me." ”

"Huh?" Hua Mian's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Pei Gongcuo was puzzled: "What? Don't want to? ”

I'm really afraid of something, he's just endless, and now he still makes this kind of request, Hua Mian complains bitterly in his heart, but he still has to make a flattered appearance on his face, and he is extremely happy and says: "The slave is really overjoyed." It's just that the slaves are clumsy, rough and leafy, and can only do some rent work in the dining room, and if they don't do what the emperor wants, they are afraid that they will make the emperor unhappy and blame the slaves. ”

Pei Gongcuo smiled: "It's okay, no matter what you do wrong in the future, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

Hua Mian was stunned again, where did he make him look at the right eye, and actually made him fall in love with a little eunuch? She then said bitterly: "Your Majesty, this must not be, you must not abolish the rules for the sake of slaves." In order not to lose your reputation due to the minions, for the sake of safety, the minions should continue to stay in the imperial dining room. ”

Pei Gongcuo's face tightened when he heard this: "Speaking of which, you just don't want to serve me?" ”

"How can it be, the slave can't ask for it, but it's a pity that the slave is really unbearable, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

With a smile on his face and clever words, but in fact he was reluctant in every way, Pei Gongcuo couldn't help but feel funny, so he no longer forced him, and only said: "That is the case, I won't force you anymore, you can go." ”

"Yes, the minions are retired."

Leaving the Heart Cultivation Hall as if he had been amnesty, Hua Mian was already in a cold sweat, but fortunately, there was no danger, and he finally escaped from Pei Gongcuo's clutches. It seemed that pretending to be someone else was also risky, so she simply took off the human skin mask and found a sparsely populated path to the outside of the palace.

The royal garden at night is full of colorful lanterns, which is very festive atmosphere when the New Year is approaching, so many concubines gather in the garden, they occupy a corner, or whisper, or laugh, or enjoy the beautiful scenery, adding a lot of spring to the gloom at the end of winter.

A little palace maid trotted all the way along the winding corridor to the glittering water pavilion, he saluted Rong Laiqing and then walked to Wen Ruya's side and whispered: "The slave maid just saw the little eunuch of Shuihua Palace in front of the palace gate and left the palace. ”

Wen Ruya was surprised: "Is this true? ”

Bi'er said: "The slave and maid will never dare to deceive the master. ”

"Can you see clearly?"

"Although the slave maid only saw her once when she accompanied the maid to Cining Palace to greet the queen mother on the first day of the lunar month, the slave maid remembered clearly that she was undoubtedly her."

Wen Ruya couldn't help but gloat: "There's a good show to watch now." His eyes were full of joy.

"What makes my sister so happy?" Seeing that the pair of masters and servants seemed to be calculating someone, Rong Laiqing stepped forward and asked casually.

Wen Ruya motioned for her to come over, and then told her what Bi'er said again, but she didn't see the surprise she expected, so she reminded her, "Leaving the palace without permission is a capital crime." "With such a good opportunity to get rid of a rival in love, why not?

Rong Laiqing smiled slightly: "Since it is a capital crime, why do you meddle in your affairs and cut off people's lives?" ”

Wen Ruya was choked by her like this, and suddenly felt embarrassed, so she relieved herself and said: "Having said that, with the emperor's favor for her, I guess I won't really kill her, I just want the emperor to see her true face." ”

"What if you see it clearly?"

"Naturally, he put her in the cold palace and no longer spoiled her."

"Why should women be embarrassed by women." Rong Laiqing leaned out of the water pavilion, only to see that the sky was full of stars but there was no moonlight, and he couldn't help sighing, "There are some things that you can't get by chasing." If you are truly in love, the vicissitudes of life will not be transferred, just like the Big Dipper; If you don't love, you don't need any reason to give it up. ”

Wen Ruya didn't think about the deep meaning of her words, she only thought that if she could bring down Hua Mian, she would be able to share more favor, not to mention that the emperor snubbed herself because he favored her that day, and this month he often went to Shuihua Palace to hang around, which made her very unhappy, not to mention that he also unexpectedly sealed her as a concubine.

She instructed Bi'er: "Go and inquire where the emperor is, and tell the emperor about this." ”

Bi'er smuttered: "This matter is related to the emperor's face, we directly expose ourselves, will the emperor be angry with us?" ”

Wen Ruya said: "This matter is chasing after the wind? ”

Bi'er once again swore that "this matter is true, and it is by no means a shadow." ”

Wen Ruya smiled: "Isn't that enough?" ”

Bi'er understood a little at this time that this incident was still different from the rumors that the Burmese concubine was unchaste last time. The authenticity of that incident is up for debate, and on the surface, it seems to be aimed at the Burmese concubine, but in fact it is also a slap in the face of the emperor. This time it was different, firstly, the matter was ironclad, and secondly, they did not spread it everywhere, just to give the emperor a wake-up call.

Thinking of this, Bi'er happily took the order and left.

Rong Laiqing did not dissuade her, but she was a little curious about how much the emperor loved the concubine.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

After listening to Bi'er's reply, Pei Gongcuo didn't feel his anger rising, but his face didn't move, he muttered: "Ya Zhaoyi called you here?" ”

Bi'er was afraid that the emperor would blame her master, so she hurriedly explained: "Niang Niang is afraid that this matter will damage the reputation of the Burmese concubine and the emperor's face, so she called the slave maid to inform the emperor, so that the emperor can make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Pei Gongcuo snorted coldly in his heart and asked, "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, when the slave and maid returned this matter to Ya Zhaoyi, Concubine Qing Shu was also there."

Pei Gongcuo finally couldn't break down, and a gloomy color was suddenly written on his face. I had never seen Rong Laiqing compete with anyone before, but since Hua Mian entered the palace, she not only began to take the initiative to dedicate herself, but now she has used the same trick as Wen Ruya to calculate others, but she is really the same enemy.

"Bi'er, you listen well, it was I who asked the Burmese concubine to be a eunuch and pretend to be out of the palace, you will truthfully tell the two mothers when you go back, this matter is over, if I hear rumors and rumors, I will not spare it."

Bi'er was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't care about whether what the emperor said was true, but she knew that she had done something stupid today, and it was her own creation that she was not punished by the emperor, so she hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, and left in embarrassment.

Wen Ruya couldn't help but be angry and hateful when she got the reply, if the emperor really allowed the Burmese concubine to leave the palace, how could he let her dress up as a little eunuch and not even have an entourage? This is simply a cover-up.

Although Rong Laiqing was calm on his face, there were a lot of waves in his heart. She thought that the emperor would be angry about this, but she didn't expect him to cover up the past for her lightly. He really had true feelings for this woman.
