Three days later, Meng Xilan moved out of Cining Palace, but went to the Buddhist hall in the palace, the Pure Heart Hall.

There are no real monks in the Buddha hall and Buddha hall in the palace, and only the palace people take care of them.

Every New Year's Day, there is a prayer ceremony here.

There is a world of difference between the deserted Pure Heart Hall and the exquisite and gorgeous Cining Palace.

Meng Xilan took Changsheng to live in the Pure Heart Hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs around her were greatly reduced, leaving only a few that she could trust.

She decided to lead the practice and fasted for a year.

Meng Xilan's actions surprised everyone.

She is the queen, the highest-ranking woman in the harem, and has the most exquisite and gorgeous palace in the harem. However, she gave it all up.

Zhou Youchen couldn't stop her, he couldn't even see her people.

The atmosphere in the harem became oppressive and heavy. And only in the Pure Heart Hall, there is a tranquility.

Worry-free temporary residence in the Meng family, Meng Xilan worships the Buddha every day to copy the scriptures and accompany the immortal.

Changsheng, who is more than a year old, is full of naughty energy, and Meng Xilan only needs to accompany him for an afternoon, and he will be exhausted. Because of this, she slept well every night and was free from nightmares.

When Jiao Changqing came to ask her for peace, he saw that she had changed into a simple sea green, with long hair in a bun and a plain face.

"Niangniang, don't you want to go to the palace to practice? Why did you change your mind? ”

Jiao Changqing was trying his best to persuade the emperor to facilitate this matter, but Meng Xilan actually took the lead in compromising.

She has a stubborn temperament and has always done what she says.

Meng Xilan said quietly: "This palace wants to think about the prince, he is still young...... He can't adapt to the dangerous environment outside the palace, and the palace can't do without him. ”

The relationship between her and Zhou Youchen is rigid, but in the growth of Changsheng, he can't do without his father's protection and his mother's love.

Jiao Changqing's eyes flashed slightly: "Niangniang, forgive the ministers for talking too much, maybe for you and the prince, leaving the palace is the best choice." ”

In the silence of the Buddha hall, his words sounded a little too harsh.

Meng Xilan looked at his eyes, and vaguely saw some hazy and unfamiliar feelings in them.

"Master?"

Meng Xilan's tone was tinged with a hint of confusion.

Jiao Changqing withdrew his hand, looked at her uprightly and said, "Niangniang, the minister is willing to follow Niangniang to go anywhere!" He took a deep breath and said, "Minister, I am willing to leave here with my mother." ”

Thinking back to more than ten years ago, when he first saw her, he had a feeling in his heart that she was incompatible with everything in the palace.

She shouldn't be here, she should be in a better place. Leave the palace and leave this place full of grievances of right and wrong.

Meng Xilan heard the meaning of his words, he was not confessing his loyalty to her now, but confessing his sincerity.

She silently turned her head, faced the Buddha statue, and said quietly: "Master, this palace has never been such an innocent woman, and we are all past the age of recklessness...... It's a coincidence, Hongu vaguely remembers a long, long time ago, and it seems that someone said the same thing to Hongu. ”

"Lan'er...... Get out of here with me and leave ......."

Chu Jingchuan back then also said the same thing as her, and in her best years, she said the most beautiful love words in the world with her.

Meng Xilan looked at the Buddha statue with low eyebrows, and said lightly: "Master, this palace has understood a truth these days, that is, whether it is in this palace or in other places outside the palace...... The sadness in Bengong's heart will not be alleviated in the slightest, master, Bengong has no intention of alienating the emperor, let alone leaving him, Bengong is just tired. ”

Jiao Changqing listened to her words, and his face changed slightly.

"Isn't Niangniang disappointed in the emperor?"

Meng Xilan shook her head lightly: "The emperor is the emperor, and this palace is destined with him." ”

She did have disappointment in her heart, but this disappointment and sadness were not enough to separate their feelings.

Jiao Changqing was full of loss when he heard this, and he thought that he had waited for an opportunity.

He chuckled and silently got up to leave.

Meng Xilan closed her eyes quietly and silently recited the scriptures.

……

The queen's pure heart and few desires made the other concubines in the harem see the opportunity to get ahead.

It is said that she had to fast in the Pure Heart Hall for a whole year, so she and the emperor could not make love for the round house for a whole year.

Wu Xueer saw the opportunity and began to prepare.

She began to diet and bind her body, just to make her waist slimmer at the beginning of spring.

Song Huaiyu watched her every move, and suddenly remembered Zhang Rong'er back then.

Now is obviously not the time to compete for favor, the emperor has just lost his child, and he has hurt his feelings with the queen's mother.

How could he be interested and in the mood to see other women, moreover, women he didn't like at all.

Zhou Youchen goes up and down every day, handling political affairs diligently and diligently, but he is silent.

Meng Xilan was not by his side, which made him feel like a year.

He doesn't want to pay attention to others, he does things with all his heart, and he doesn't care about the people in the harem.

However, everything in the harem is complicated, and there must always be someone to take care of it.

Meng Xilan already had a suitable candidate in her heart, and that was Song Huaiyu.

She has the highest position, and she is obviously the most suitable person to take care of the affairs of the sixth house for her.

When Song Huaiyu came to the door of the Pure Heart Hall, her intuition was that she was inexplicably uneasy.

She didn't know what was waiting for her?

The sandalwood is faint and the candlelight is bright.

Song Huaiyu looked at Meng Xilan, who was dressed in sea blue in front of him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

She really did what she said and led the practice...... However, it may also be just a disguise.

Her scheming is so heavy and so deep, it really makes people have to be wary.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Meng Xilan lowered her head and concentrated on copying the scriptures, and when she saw her come in, she didn't look at it, but said quietly: "Get up and talk." ”

Jade stepped forward and handed her a chair in time to sit down.

Song Huaiyu sat down nervously, and looked at the decorations in the hall casually.

There is no comparison between this place and Cining Palace...... Old, plain, lifeless.

Meng Xilan still lowered her head and spoke: "This palace asked you to come over today because I want you to do this palace a favor." ”

Song Huaiyu got up again: "Please give me orders." ”

"The palace is now dedicated to worshipping the Buddha and fasting, and has no time to take care of the big and small things in the palace. Therefore, this palace wants you to take care of the affairs of the six palaces instead of this palace for the time being. ”

Song Huaiyu was taken aback when he heard this, obviously a little incredulous.

Is this pie in the sky? No, it can't be, there must be something behind this?

She cautiously replied: "Niangniang, how can the concubine be virtuous, how can she have the ability to manage the six palaces." ”

Jade listened to this and couldn't help but glance at her. Xindao: It's so hypocritical!

Meng Xilan dipped her pen in ink and said, "You are very smart and know the severity." You are the most suitable person in the heart of this palace, so this palace is willing to give you this right. However, you have to distinguish between what is important and what is important. There are small things that you can call your own hands for, but there are some things that ...... You'd better be careful. ”

When Song Huaiyu heard this, he knew it in his heart.

She is just a decoration to deal with miscellaneous things, and the right to manage the six palaces is still firmly in the hands of Meng Xilan. To put it bluntly, she just has the name of an associate sixth palace,

Song Huaiyu chuckled in her heart, she knew that she was not so kind.

"Would you like to?" Meng Xilan couldn't hear her reply, so she took the initiative to ask.

Song Huaiyu naturally didn't dare not agree, and nodded: "It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to share her worries for her mother." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Meng Xilan's mouth hooked, smiled silently, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Jade slowly stepped forward and said, "Jieyu Niangniang, please go back." ”

Song Huaiyu got up slowly, his steps a little hesitant. However, she didn't dare to say anything more.

……

After nightfall, Zhou Youchen made a batch of folds in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and his eyes were red.

Xiao Luzi came over with ginseng tea to serve: "Long live the lord, it's the second watch, you should rest early." ”

Zhou Youchen closed the fold and said, "What's going on over there in the Pure Heart Hall?" ”

Xiao Luzi said honestly: "Before a cup of tea, the palace people came to report that the mother was still copying Buddhist scriptures." ”

It's been this hour, and she hasn't slept yet.

"Xiao Luzi, you can accompany me to the Pure Heart Hall."

Xiao Luzi hurriedly responded when he heard this.

The master and servant, carrying lanterns, walked in the hazy snowy night.

The windows of the Pure Heart Hall were still lit, just a small light.

Xiao Luzi saw that the master was standing at the door and didn't leave, so he said: "Your Majesty, since you are here, why don't you go in and see Niangniang." ”

Zhou Youchen thought for a moment and stepped over.

The person who kept vigil tonight was Jade, and she vaguely saw a light outside, and knew that someone was coming.

She pushed the door and looked at it, and found that it was the emperor, so she couldn't help but exclaim: "Long live......

Meng Xilan was still copying the scriptures uprightly, and she was unmoved when she heard the voice.

Zhou Youchen glanced at Jade and motioned for her to step back.

Although there was a brazier burning in the house, it was not very warm.

Zhou Youchen walked towards Meng Xilan with his eyebrows, saw her looking up at herself, and sighed lightly: "Why are you doing this? ”

Meng Xilan looked at him calmly, put down the brush and said, "Why is the emperor here?" ”

Seeing that she could actually talk to herself calmly, Zhou Youchen's expression was slightly surprised: "I want to come and see you." ”

Meng Xilan bent her knees slightly when she heard this: "The night is cool and the wind is cold, and the emperor is careful about the dragon body." ”

Zhou Youchen's eyes froze, and he approached her step by step and said, "You still care about me?" ”

Meng Xilan saw him stretching out his hand, so she shook it back: "Of course, of course the concubine cares about the emperor's ......."

It's really weird. It's just a few days of hard work, and she seems to have become different, no, it should be said that she is deflated, she is no longer angry with him.

Zhou Youchen suddenly hugged her in his arms with some excitement, hugged her body tightly and asked, "Lan'er, have you forgiven me?" ”

Meng Xilan groaned for a while before she said: "The child's matter, in fact, the concubine is also at fault......

Her tone is calm and gentle, which is reassuring.

Zhou Youchen hugged her and sighed and shook his head: "No, the wrong person is me, it's me who is wrong." ”

As the king of a country, he once again admitted his mistakes.

Meng Xilan stroked his back and said lightly: "The concubine has already figured it out." Since that child has no fate with us, it is right to end it as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Youchen gently grabbed her shoulders and said seriously: "Since you have figured it out, why do you have to suffer here?" Go back, go back to Cining Palace. ”

Meng Xilan looked at his eager gaze and shook her head slowly: "No, the emperor, the concubine wants to fast here for a year and pray for the deceased son." Although the concubine and his mother and son have been fated to him, as a mother, the concubine always wants to do her part for him. ”

Zhou Youchen frowned when he heard this, looked at her distressedly and said, "Lan'er, even if you do this, the child will not come back." I need you ......"

Before he finished his words, Meng Xilan gently covered his lips: "The concubine has always been by the emperor's side, if the emperor wants to see the concubine, then come here." ”

Although her attitude has softened, her mind has not changed, and she will not leave here until she has sorted out her thoughts.
