"Concubine?"

Hearing the person in her ear calling her, Concubine Yi came back to her senses in a trance and agreed in a low voice.

"The concubine is here."

"What are you thinking?"

"The concubine just thought, such a good sky, but in this deep palace, it is still ruined", noticing the other party's gloomy face, she continued, "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and this taste is really uncomfortable." ”

Emperor Yin looked out the window, and his tone sounded faint.

"You want to leave the palace?"

"Yes......"

The air fell silent, and between the two, there seemed to be a shallow flow of waves, and her purpose was to provoke him!

"Me too."

"Huh?" With an exclamation, Concubine Yi raised her head suddenly and looked at the person in front of her in a daze.

Emperor Yin turned his head and looked at her eyes seriously, as clear as a pool of clear water, and he said word by word: "I said, I don't like this Yin Palace either." ”

"Why? You are the emperor......"

"For all of them, it's bondage. So do I. I had sacrificed everything I had to get what I wanted, but in the end I realized that I had it in the first place, but I didn't cherish it. ”

"What's that?" She was confused.

The person by the window was silent for a long time, and after a long time, two words came out of his mouth: "Happiness." ”

At this moment, the dark door in my heart finally opened a window and got a chance to breathe.

"Concubine Yi, I actually like you very much, but I'm even more afraid of ruining you."

She remained silent.

For some reason, after hearing these words, she was faintly moved in her heart...... No...... You must not just bow your head so easily. She once secretly vowed that she would never get her love from the people at the top of power!

Because no one has ever asked if she wants to enter the palace.

"Let's go shower and change clothes."

In an instant, he regained his former coldness, with an indisobedient order in his words.

She wanted to say something more, but she stiffly held back, and saluted: "Yes, the concubine obeys the order." ”

Two hours later.

In the inner hall, the screen with entangled branches and glass was slowly removed by the palace people, and Concubine Yi was wearing a begonia pipa placket cloud dress, covered with a velvet cardigan shawl, and her head was covered with wet green silk, covered with an autumn silk net.

She was thinly powdered, her rouge was light, the fragrance of flowers was delicate, and the whole person was like a Xinlan inserted in a beauty's eyes, with her head down, and slowly walked in front of Emperor Yin.

The palace people retreated.

The sound of the temple door closing was heard in my ears, and it was dull.

She kept her head hanging and didn't speak.

He reached out and pulled her cold wrist with a look of concern in his eyes. The touch of the hand warms up, and it makes people feel extremely warm.

"Is it cold? Come here, sit down beside me. ”

Touching her wet hair, he frowned, embedded his palm in the jet-black emanation, and lightly ordered, "Bring the grate." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"Don't move, I'll comb your hair, just lie down."

Concubine Yi was inexperienced, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed, she couldn't be as casual as at home, she had to maintain her posture and show all her long hair. In her mind, she deduced five, six, seven, or eight postures, all of which were unsatisfactory.

There was a slight frown between his eyebrows, and when he was in distress, Emperor Yin patted the edge of the couch and said lightly: "Lie down here." ”

"I ......"

Concubine Yi's heart was uneasy, and her expression was very cramped.

"The concubine's hair is damp, for fear of staining the emperor's dragon robe."

"It's okay, you come here."

Knowing that she couldn't get over, she obediently moved and lay down nervously, the warm breath gradually came from her neck, and he used the grate to push it from top to bottom, over and over again, and the movements were very gentle.

"Wan Shenlang's knees, where is not pitiful."

In an instant, the man's gaze became very stunned.

This is the woman's coquettish words to Langjun...... Don't be afraid, I'm not a tiger, I can't eat people. Your temperament is very similar to that of when I was a teenager. ”

"The emperor is only in his twentieth year now, how can he not be a teenager?"

"You don't understand." He shook his head silently, "Teenagers are not in age, but in their state of mind. Current affairs are easy to change, things in the world are changing rapidly, every day is different, and the more you experience, the faster time flies. ”

The woman in her arms clenched her shirt tightly with both hands.

"Then the emperor ...... The concubine dared to ask, have you combed your hair for other concubines? ”

"Nope."

"What about the Queen?"

"Not either."

In her heart, she suddenly jumped with joy, opened her eyes, looked at the bright eyes above, and said with a smile: "Then the concubine is the first person?" ”

Unexpectedly, the person above shook his head majestically, and his tone was mixed with a trace of pain.

"It's not."

"Concubine Yi, you shouldn't ask again."

She sneered, retracted her lost expression, and said in a low voice: "It's the concubine's gaffe." ”

"It's okay, you're still young, I've always been very tolerant of you."

A trace of sadness suddenly appeared on her face, and she silently asked in her heart: Is it because the concubine is young?

"There are a lot of things in you that I have lost, and I feel very kind when I see you, so when I am in a bad mood, I always like to come to Showa Palace for a walk."

An unspeakable bitterness spread in her heart, and she turned her head suddenly.

"I see, the concubine understands."

Emperor Yin took her hand, broke her clenched palm, and put it into the palm of her hand, looking confused.

"The word 'Yi' is not suitable for you, although you were born in a family of military generals, you are naturally smart and have a wise heart, but you are stubborn by nature and a little perverse, but this number was given by the Queen Mother, and I am not easy to change."

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned over, buried her face in his arms, and seemed to pout, half coquettish, half aggrieved.

"The concubine doesn't like this title either."

“……”

Stroking her long silky hair, he sighed softly from his throat.

The rain is cold.

The Dutch side rests, the new lotus root is drunk, the wind blows, and the autumn rain pours into the city.

The people on the couch were tossing and turning with their hair curled, unable to sleep all night.

Early in the morning of the second day.

After Emperor Yin left, Le Yue brought the palace people in to serve, and when she saw the dark circles on her master's eyes, she hurriedly covered them with fat powder.

"Master didn't sleep well last night?"

"Hmm."

Looking at herself in the silver mirror, Concubine Yi looked dull and never happy. And the palace people who are waiting around are all full of smiling faces, which is more festive than the Spring Festival.

"Let's all get out."

The face in the mirror lowered his eyebrows impatiently, and there was a faint anger in his voice.

"Yes."

There was a sound of shredded footsteps in the room.

"Leyue, you stay."

"Why is it that the master is so unhappy when he is favored? Is the emperor treating you badly? ”

Leyue was very worried, the two of them grew up together since childhood, and they were like sisters, but she had never seen her master look like this. It was a very sad look.

Concubine Yi turned around abruptly and hugged her tightly.

"Master, this ......"

"Don't move, let me hold for a while, I don't know why, my heart, I'm so sad......"

After a long time, the person in his arms finally raised his head.

"That's it!"

Concubine Yi stretched her waist, as if she had just woken up, and her gloom was swept away, her face was full of smiles, her eyes were clear and clear, and she revealed a hint of cunning from time to time.

Before Le Yue could speak, she asked, "I asked you to check it yesterday, but what did you find?" ”

Thinking of yesterday's events, Leyue clapped her hands excitedly.

"Master, good scheming! The slave and maid searched all over the lower room yesterday, and there was really a soaked garment, as if it had just been changed, and the owner of the garment was the maid who broke into the palace that day, called the shadow, and she was eighteen this year. ”

"It wasn't raining much yesterday, my clothes were soaked, and I obviously stayed in the rain for a long time."

"Eighteen?"

Concubine Yi looked at Le Yue in the mirror, Wu Zi reacted, and wondered, "According to the rules, the age of the palace maid to enter the palace is only fifteen, why can she still enter the palace at the age of eighteen?" ”

Le Yue also frowned and shook her head suspiciously.

"The slave maid checked the name book of our Showa Palace, and it was written on the fifteenth, but the slave maid was in the shadow's house, and found this. Rest assured, the slave is afraid of startling the snake, this is copied. ”

As she spoke, she pulled into her sleeve and took out a half-new brocade handkerchief.

There is a dot of black ink on it, and when you look closely, it is written that it is the eight characters of people's birthdays.

"So it seems that there must be something wrong with this servant."

Concubine Yi pondered for a while, and in her eyes, her eyes suddenly flashed, and she hooked her index finger and attached it to Le Yue's ear.

"...... like this"

Le Yue couldn't stop nodding, the corners of her mouth pursed a smile, and then she quickly walked out of the palace gate, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she walked in the direction of the inner court.

After touching it for about an hour, the familiar flattery reached Concubine Yi's ears.

"Ouch, Miss Leyue, you slow down, I can't keep up."

"Mr. Qian, hurry up, Niangniang can wait to use it...... If this makes the master angry, I can't afford to be guilty! You know, the emperor loves our mother the most now......"

Reading the word "most", she dragged her voice out.

Because in the corner of the palace corridor, behind the pillar, Le Yue caught a glimpse of the cuffs of the palace clothes, which were exactly the same color as the soaked clothes.

After entering the inner sanctum.

Qian Tongsi's waist was bent, and she couldn't stand up at all, Concubine Yi was sitting on the stool in front of the table, drinking tea slowly, and the water vapor was on her face, which looked extremely beautiful.

"Mother Wan'an ......"

The man who bent down saw his master, and knelt down in a hurry, his eyes were full of water, and he looked at the person above him with a flattering look, and the dust was like a cat's tail, constantly swaying from side to side.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Qian?"

She raised her head lightly and glanced at her eyes, "What kind of wind blew your old man here?" ”

"Ouch......"

Listening to Concubine Yi's jokes, Qian Tongsi's eyes immediately narrowed into a slit, and his facial features shrank sharply.

"Niangniang, you are tormenting the minion, as long as you make a call, the minion can run faster than the horse, this unhappy moon girl screamed, the slave hurried over."

Seeing his happy appearance, Concubine Yi couldn't hold back a smile.

"Bang ......"

The tea cup on the table was smashed down and shattered into pieces on the ground, and the hot tea immediately splashed in all directions.

Concubine Yi immediately changed her face, her face was threatening and angry, and she slapped the case with a "bang".

"Bold money! The Queen Mother ordered you to repair the Showa Palace, but you dared to fill your pockets and secretly deduct the money, so as to confuse the real with the fake, causing rain leakage in many palaces of the Showa Palace, and the vermilion paint peeled off, and even this stool was a fake, and almost hurt the palace......"

Drunk like this, Qian Tongsi was already shocked and frightened.

Before he could react, Concubine Yi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"What do you keep for such a slave? Deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates, the palace will report to the queen mother, the queen and the emperor, and beat you out with a stick! ”

Qian Tongsi's eyes widened, and he was already paralyzed with fright.

"Leyue!"

"The slave is here."

"Go and invite the emperor and queen, let the masters see the true face of this dog minion!"

"Yes."

Just as Le Yue was about to raise her feet, Qian Tongsi suddenly reacted, hurriedly knelt over, and saved her feet.

"Girl, okay, don't go!"

Le Yue hesitated and looked at Concubine Yi.

The one on the ground immediately let go of her, grabbed the corner of Concubine Yi's master's clothes, and pleaded bitterly with tears on her face.

"Master Yi, you have a lot of adults, do well, let the slaves go."

Concubine Yi glanced at him coldly.

"What are you still doing? Don't be such a scourge of the master's minions! ”

"Don't ......"

"Master Yi, you let go of the slave, the slave will be a dog you raise in the future, and you will do your best to take care of the Showa Palace forever, serving you, what is good, you are the first one, the slave swears to the sky, if there is a lie, the sky will thunder!"

After hearing this, she rolled her eyes.

"That's what you said?"

"Yes, yes...... This is the word of the minion, as long as you let the minion go, the minion will never dare to break his word. ”

"Good!"

Concubine Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and motioned for Le Yue to go to the door to guard. She pointed at the man on the ground, glared at him, and said:

"Then what I want you to say, you have to say something, and you are not allowed to deny it?"

"No denial, no denial!"

"There is a palace maid named 'Shadow' in my palace, how old is she this year?"

"Shadow...... Shadow ......"

There was a hint of panic in his eyes. For this name, Qian Tongsi's memory is too deep.

"Say?! If you dare to deceive this palace, the end is clear, huh? ”

Looking at the person in front of him, he hesitated for a few moments, and then quickly made a choice in his mind, in the end...... To say or not to say? Neither side is easy to mess with! But only a split second later, he quickly made his judgment.

"Yes, yes...... She's eighteen years ......"

Concubine Yi was overjoyed and asked one after another.

"When the palace people entered the palace, the older one was only fifteen, why could she still come in eighteen? You inner court, you are not small! ”

"Master Yi, the slave wants to tell you, don't tell the public?"

"Say! Where is so much nonsense! ”

"It's Concubine Feng...... This shadow was originally a distant relative of her family, because of the death of her parents, the mother took pity on her, and saw that she had no one to take care of her, so she entrusted the slave to send her to the palace, and the slave is also a good deed......"

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the person in front of him immediately refuted.

"Who are you getting?! Everyone knows that Concubine Feng is a good person, but even if this woman has no home, she can still get married, and she is a distant relative, why does she have to enter the palace? You slave, you dare to slander Concubine Feng, see if this palace doesn't report you......"

As she spoke, she was still going to call out again.

Qian Tongsi hugged her******* what he said was true, the slave received twenty taels of gold from the mother, and I don't know anything else, Master Yi spares his life......"

For a moment, she immediately made up her mind.

"Get up."

The complicated expression returned to its usual appearance, his eyes were clear, his tone was calm, mixed with a hint of naughtiness.

"That ...... girl"

"Don't worry, this palace will not only not report you, but also reward you."

As she spoke, she took out forty taels of gold from her sleeve and handed it to Qian Tongsi's hand.

"God knows this matter, you know and I know, if you leak it out and implicate this palace, not to mention Concubine Feng, even this palace will not let you go."

Things changed too quickly, and Qian Tongsi didn't react, just kowtowed again and again.

"Don't worry, the slave is facing the mother!"

Seeing that the other party stood up and wiped his face, she quietly called Le Yue into the hall.

As soon as the door was closed, a woman dressed as a maidservant maid quietly sneaked from the edge of the corridor to the partition wall of the inner hall, eavesdropping on the movement inside, and the sound of Concubine Yi's scolding faintly came.

"Do you hear me? If you don't fix it well next time, take this broken thing to fool the palace, and the palace will definitely tell the emperor! ”

"Mother's life...... The minions didn't dare. ”

After a while, I heard the door ring, and Le Yue sent Qian Tongsi out.

The man "swished" and disappeared again.
