The Qin family died in the cold palace, and the eunuch went to the cold palace to carry out the flogging at noon, only to find her body. There was a big hole in his head, and he should have broken his head and bled to death, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand when he died. This matter quickly spread to Yixue Pavilion, and when the dream heard it, she got up suddenly, she wanted to ask who was stirring up behind it in a few days, but Qin Xiangxiang killed herself directly.

"Yuzhi, yesterday I asked you to check the night book, have you found it?" The dream calmed down and turned back to ask Yuzhi. Yuzhi squeaked and whined: "The slave maid has checked, the one who was on duty that night, one person in each palace, Yixue Pavilion is the slave maid, and Si Shuixuan is...... It's ...... Emerald."

"It's Cuifang, right?" Dream shook his head, "I vaguely guessed it would be her." ”

"I lay down last night, thinking that since someone had sent a message to the Qin family, the person who had reported the message must have a purpose. Do you remember the day before yesterday after the Qin family fell into the water, we went to Sishuixuan and ran into Cuifang? ”

"The slave maid remembered that she said that day she went to get fish food, but she returned to Changchun Palace early."

"At that time, we only said that we had caught the flaws of the Qin family, but now we think that if Cuifang knows, no matter how stupid she is, she will not go back to the palace directly to let us know. It was she who deliberately sold us a flaw to make us feel that she was usable......"

"The little lord said this, Cuifang is not simple...... Fortunately, she was asked by the Queen Mother to go to Cining Palace on an errand. ”

Only then did the dream state know that the emperor's promise to him had not been fulfilled, but it also saved her a lot of trouble. When she thought of the emperor, she was a little in a trance, thinking about the many words that the emperor said yesterday, thinking about what Qin Xiangxiang said, she never thought that she could be favored by the emperor, and she also understood that it was a dangerous thing to be favored, but she actually wanted to see the emperor, not for anything else, just to see if he had such affection for herself. Before she could think about it, the palanquin of the Yangxin Palace came, and just like yesterday, the emperor sent someone to pick her up to serve tea.

The weather is sunny for two days, and the sun shines on people, making people always lazy. Although it was April, such good weather was still rare, and the cold and wet corners of the Forbidden City finally dried up a lot. The dream is also dressed up a lot today, the flowers in Changchun Palace are blooming more colorfully, and the swallows are stopping on the branches, which can be described as the fragrance of birds and flowers.

When I arrived at the Heart Nourishing Palace, the dream came out with tea, and the emperor had been waiting for a long time. At a glance, I saw her dressed up carefully, and I thought that a woman was a person who pleases herself, and I was overjoyed: "I think you look very good today." ”

Dream put down the teacup, looked up at him, saw that his eyebrows and eyes were deep, thinking that he had never seen his face seriously before, just glanced at it, and felt average. Looking so handsome today, I was fascinated for a while, and I couldn't help but show two blush on my face.

Seeing her blushing, the emperor stared at himself again, a little embarrassed, and coughed: "The queen mother insists on Cuifang, and I can't help it." But if you still have a favorite servant palace maid, I will reward you. ”

Dream quickly retracted his gaze, picked up the contemplation incense on one side, and added it to the incense burner: "The concubine doesn't have what she wants, so the emperor doesn't have to bother." ”

This move reminded the emperor of the four words of red sleeves and incense, which made him extremely relaxed, he stretched his waist, the corners of his mouth seemed to be disobedient, and he picked up a stack of pieces and looked at it. Dream lowered his eyebrows and sleeves to continue to add fragrance, not daring to raise his head, his face was a little red and hot, and he couldn't help smiling. There are no words in everything, and they are as harmonious as a white-headed couple. The lotus flowers at the beginning of summer bloom quietly inadvertently, the water ripples, and the breeze warms people.

The matter of the Qin family came to an end, and Cuifang finally went to the Empress Dowager's palace to get a good errand. Li Jinghan asked someone to get a zither and study the rhythm all day long. Wang Qiao sorted out the small kitchen of Zhong Cui Palace, cooked pastries himself, and researched many delicious foods. Since the Qin family was convicted, Dream always went to serve tea, returned before dinner, and went to live in Zhongcui Palace nine times out of ten. The emperor still goes to the queen's palace every night to eat, just because the queen mother ordered that the queen is pregnant, and the emperor should take care of it more.

After dozens of days of calm, the weather became warmer and hotter, and it was no longer the day to wear thick skirts, and the concubines changed into light gauze skirts one after another. When the dream came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, I saw that the emperor was at a loss.

In May of the ninth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty strictly implemented the policy of banning the sea. At this time, it was reported that many fleets had landed in South Vietnam recently, and they repeatedly wanted to enter the Ming Kingdom to preach. Zhang Juzheng is very old, and he is sick in bed for several days and does not go to court. The other courtiers talked a lot, and they all advocated a solution by force. The emperor hesitated, just because the military and political power was not in his hands, so he had to wait for Zhang Juzheng to recover from his illness, but the courtiers came up one by one, which made him bored.

"Put down the tea, and accompany me to the palace back garden for a walk."

In the Qianqiu Pavilion in the palace garden, Mama Liu accompanied the Queen Mother to come out to recuperate. The Queen Mother saw a woman behind the emperor from a distance, walked for a walk, and asked curiously: "Mama Liu, who is that?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, that is Zheng Mengjing."

"The emperor ignored the government and accompanied a little woman out to relax." The Queen Mother pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "It's true that you're good-looking, and it's always bad to be too good-looking." ”

"Has the emperor been with her these days?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, since the Qin family was convicted, Zheng Mengjing went to serve tea in the Heart Cultivation Hall every afternoon, but he returned to the palace before it was dark. The emperor's daily dinner is still used in the queen's palace. ”

"That's not good, the emperor loves her so much, and the beauty is on the side, doesn't it mess up his mind? How could he take a good look at the excerpts? ”

The Queen Mother immediately whispered a few words to Mama Liu, and Mama Liu nodded and left.

The emperor walked for a while, Dream Realm followed cautiously, Feng Bao also followed, and a few guards and palace maids were in a group of people. The emperor felt that there were too many people for the first time, so he asked Feng Bao to divide all the people, but Feng Bao was not very happy: "Your Majesty, you have to leave a few ......to follow" Before he finished speaking, the emperor gave him a blank look: "Let's go, you can go too, there are so many people, the road is so narrow, what are they all doing here?" Let's go! ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he directly took the hand of the dream and walked forward, walking extremely fast, and disappeared as soon as he turned a corner. Feng Bao didn't react for a long time, and opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

This is the first time in a long time that the emperor has had skin contact with her. "There are many beauties in the harem, but they are not as soft as your hands and your skin as clotted fat. It's just that your hands are a little cold, and it seems that the temple is still cold. ”

Dream lowered his head and didn't speak, this was the first time in his life that he was held by a man's hand, and a trace of warmth flowed from his hand all over his body, crispy and itchy. She didn't know that this feeling was wonderful, and she gently shook it back, feeling more stable in her heart. Since entering the palace, the turmoil has not stopped, and there has never been a moment as safe and comfortable as now.

As soon as the emperor changed his normal state in front of the palace people, his tone was not as calm and serious as usual, but said with a little excitement: "I will take you to my favorite place." ”

The emperor walked to a strange stone on the right side of the Qin'an Hall with a dream, and moved a strange stone away, and a small tunnel came out, and it was dark and dark. The emperor walked in with the words of the dream, moved the stone back, and walked in with the dream. For fear of the dream, he used his other hand to protect her head. After walking for a while, some exit lights came to light, and Dream was surprised to find that they had come to this pile of strange stones, and to her surprise, among the strange stones, there was actually a dense meadow.

The Emperor suddenly pulled out a blanket from his chest as if by magic. The dream realm was puzzled by the emperor's bulging chest, and he was still curious about what it was and didn't dare to ask, it turned out to be a thin blanket. The Emperor spread the thin blanket on the ground and said, "Guess whose blanket it belongs to?" ”

Dream shook his head.

"Feng Bao is in the Heart Nourishing Palace, and sometimes he accompanies me there for the night, so he finds a blanket and sleeps with a blanket at night."

"Before the emperor left the Heart Cultivation Palace, he said that there was something for Feng Bao and his concubines to go out and wait, but he actually stole this blanket?" The dream sneered, and she thought it was funny at the thought that the blanket Feng Bao was covered with was spread on the muddy ground like this by the emperor.

"This is the first time I've ever seen you smile." The emperor saw that he was laughing at the dream, and he was proud in his heart, "Zheng Cairen smiled, and my heart somehow warmed three points." With that, he had to pull Dream Realm and sit beside him.

"How did the emperor find such a treasure?"

"When I was still the crown prince, I was naughty and didn't listen to my homework, and I was often punished by Mr. Zhang, who is now the head of the cabinet. Sometimes I really didn't want to look at his face, and sneaked into the palace garden without anyone noticing, but I didn't have the strength to carry such a large stone at that time. I climbed up and fell, and I found this place. ”

"I frolicked here for a long time, grabbed the crickets on the ground, carved them on the stones, and played for a long time before I went back. The palace people have been looking for me for a long time, because they didn't take care of me, and my personal servants have been severely punished by the queen mother, so I don't dare to come casually. When I ascended the throne at the age of ten, I had the opportunity to come here occasionally to rest through relaxation. ”

"Can the emperor bring someone else here?" The dream realm is fascinating, and it is not easy to find this place in the harem that no one knows.

"You're the first." The emperor looked at her fixedly, as if everything was logical, even if the queen was honored and Feng Bao was close, she was the first person to come here in her dream.

"You are the first", five words, made the dream sigh that he was so important in the emperor's heart. Although she is slow and uncertain in this regard, she knows very well that in the past few days since the tea was served, what the emperor said and his every move were all affection for her. Her heart also changed from fear at the beginning to expectation, and perhaps unconsciously, she also had such affection for the emperor. At this time, on a green space in this pile of strange rocks, it seems like a paradise in the Forbidden City, in such a paradise, it is inevitable to want to indulge yourself and loosen the tight strings.

Dream didn't speak, turned around with a wave of his long sleeves, and danced by himself. Graceful and graceful. Such as Zhangtai willow, such as Zhaoyang swallow. When he turned his head to look at the emperor during the dance, he was already fascinated, his eyes were eager, and he held his breath silently, for fear of disturbing everything in front of him.

The Forbidden City was as quiet as ever, and near the Qianqiu Pavilion in the palace back garden, Feng Bao and the palace people were still waiting in place, not knowing whether to go in and look for it. The Queen Mother sat on the pavilion and looked at the flowers and trees, waiting for Mama Liu to come back. The back garden is deep, and the pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another. This mountain of rocks separates the two of them from the Forbidden City, one of them uses dance to pour out their emotions, and the other enjoys the dance to calm their depression. Dream knows that this is only for a while, and if she doesn't avenge her father, she won't be able to really feel at ease for a day. It seems to be light, but in fact it is faltering.

Such happiness is also something that the emperor does not want. It's only about the love of two people, and it is impossible to achieve it on him. Whenever he was too happy, he instinctively thought that it was his mistake and something that no one would approve of. After all, he was distracted, and when he looked up, he saw that tomorrow did not sink, but it was much darker, not as bright as when he came.

The dream stopped dancing, and he was a little tired, so he remembered the rules: "The dream danced uninvited, which made the emperor laugh." ”

The emperor didn't speak, but just pulled her over and sat beside him: "I'll go back in a while, it can't be too long, it's easy to make people suspicious." ”

Dream nodded, the emperor did not comment on her dance, she was a little disappointed. Thinking that the emperor is the son of heaven, he has seen more dances than she has eaten, and he must think that she dances unsatisfactorily.

The emperor loves dreams, but in the harem, he knows that he can't just like one person. This is not good for her, the courtiers will talk about her, and the concubine will be jealous of her. So, more often than not, he can't be around dreams. He knew that the matter of serving tea had made the Queen Mother very dissatisfied, and she was the daughter of Zheng Chengxian, so there was a lot of trouble, if she was caught by the Queen Mother, it would definitely not be good. What he should do is restrain himself and protect her.

"You've been serving tea for half a month, and I like you to serve tea, so I sent the original tea maid away."

Dream Heart said that he had already guessed it.

"I like you, but I am the emperor, I can't like just one person, the queen mother will be unhappy. So I go to the queen's palace every night to reassure the queen mother. My heart is with you, but out of this stone pile, I have many things that I have to do. ”

Dream thought to herself, even if the emperor really wanted to go to the queen's palace, she would not complain, she had long known that the emperor could not be hers. The emperor tried to explain to her, and she thought it cute.

"The concubine understands the emperor and will not be unhappy because of this, so the emperor does not have to be upset about this."

The emperor took Mengjing's hand: "It's not too early, let's go out." ”
