Inside the Jade Gate Xuan.

The garden is full of paulownia leaves, perhaps no one has lived in it for a long time, and on the bare trunk, from time to time a flock of crows gather, babbling and wah-wah, in the middle of the night, people are frightened when they hear it.

The man on the couch woke up in shock.

"Pipa!"

The people on the ground were full of cleverness, and immediately opened their tired eyes, and on the bags under their eyes, clusters of dark blue appeared.

"Mother, where is the slave here......"

She lifted the curtain and held her master's hand tightly. At this moment, Concubine Song's sloppy gaze gradually gathered, and slowly fell on the person in front of her, and fine sweat was dripping on her forehead.

"Master, are you having nightmares again?"

"Hongu Fang just dreamed of ...... I dreamed that Song Yi was beheaded, bloody, and when he came to this couch, he smiled at the palace......"

Recalling the nightmare scene, extreme horror appeared on Concubine Song's face.

"Quack ......"

In the night sky, there was a ghostly cry.

"Listen! Is he coming? You listen ......"

"Master rest assured, the son is fine, haven't you seen his letter? That's the crow's cry, damn taboo Shilaozi! Tomorrow, the slaves and maids will all be beaten out, and no one will be left, so don't be afraid. ”

Listening to this soft comfort, the face of the person on the couch seemed to be better.

"Yes, all out! Kill them all...... Kill ......"

muttered in her mouth, but like a puppeteer, she let the girl serve and fell asleep.

Fortunately, there was no incident overnight.

Early the next morning.

Outside the silk mullions, dead leaves swirl and fly. The wind is blowing.

On the couch, Concubine Song sat lazily on the windowsill.

She wore a Yunjin plain pattern palace dress, no fat powder, her face was pale, her hair was scattered on her shoulders indiscriminately, sometimes half-squinted, as if she was asleep, sometimes she was stunned, and she looked very decadent and down.

In the green silk, wisps of white hair can be faintly seen.

"Mother, be careful of catching a cold."

The maidservant brought a bowl of cuiqi japonica rice porridge, which was full of warm fragrance and mixed with a hint of sweetness, which made the breath of the whole house become a lot more active.

But the people on the couch were unmoved.

"Is there a letter from outside?"

Pipa walked over and slammed the window shut.

"Master, don't worry, take good care of your body first, once the son's head is successful, he will definitely send a letter to us."

"Yes......"

At this moment, she seemed to hear the sound of the bird's wings fluttering, like an electric shock, and sat up in shock, and did not care about putting on her shoes, so she staggered to the door with the socks on her feet, looked up at the sky, and hurriedly looked around.

"Listen, but the pigeon has returned?"

Pipa's heart was sour.

She wiped the tears that had fallen, and came over and persuaded softly: "Leave these things to the slave maid, the slave maid has been staring, if the son has a letter to come back, the slave and the maid will definitely show it to you immediately." ”

The eyes of the looking were filled with deep disappointment, and the light that had just risen was extinguished like a flame.

Concubine Song regained her lost soul.

On the night of the autumn equinox, the night is cooler.

The garden has not been cleaned for a long time, and these palace people in front of them are all newly sent by the inner court when they are relocated, and they all have to get by and be lazy all day long.

"Aiming ......"

A black cat ran into the hall, and it softened its steps, and was looking around with green eyes.

"Go, go, go...... Where did the little wildcats come from? Don't hit it out yet! ”

With a scolding from the pipa, a group of palace talents chased after each other in a panic, turning the palace into a miasma, and people turned on their backs, causing people to be annoyed.

Concubine Song rubbed her forehead.

"Get out ......"

"Get out! Get out of the way! ”

Hearing the master's reprimand, a group of people swarmed out like homeless people outside the city, without the slightest rules.

"Master, you are angry."

"What else is there to be angry about, don't you see? That has already made a move, there is a new wreck in this Yumen Xuan, which one doesn't mean her? This is for the face of Hongu......"

Speaking of excitement, she kept pounding the edge of the couch with her hands, but she seemed weak.

There was a cool breeze outside the window.

Pipa took a maroon brocade orchid pattern and gently put it on for Concubine Song, but she ripped it off.

"Mother, you ...... How can this slave live? ”

"It's better to die than to be trampled by that slut like this!"

Pipa was in his heart, and immediately straightened his face, knelt down and said loudly:

"If the mother still insists on ruining her body, it is better to give the slave and maid to death now, it is better than bearing these sins, and when she goes to the underworld in the future, let the slave and maid have no face to see the old lady! Now that the prince is alive, His Royal Highness is worry-free, there are many people in our clan, think about how strong you were before...... Why is it getting to this point now......"

In the end, Pipa couldn't help but cry loudly.

"Meow ......"

The black cat suddenly jumped out from behind the vase, swept past the people around him, jumped onto the couch with an arrow step, shrunk tightly beside Concubine Song, and snorted obediently and meekly.

"Mother?"

"Shh......h

Concubine Song stroked it gently, feeling a sense of comfort and tranquility that she had never felt before.

"I think back then, Shu'er was still so young, lying beside the palace, babbling, very cute...... But now, alas...... It's hard for this palace to see him. ”

With a heavy sigh, the glazed tiles sounded on the roof.

The next moment, just listening to the crackling, a dense autumn rain fell, and the rain became more and more energetic.

A drop of water suddenly fell from the beam.

"These dog minions in the inner court, after repairing for so long, turned out to be just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, cutting corners, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, wagging their tails and rushing to offer their courtesies! When it falls into our hands, they will be beautiful! ”

Pipa scolded angrily, but Concubine Song was silent.

She quietly stroked the cat beside her, her mind sinking into a long time ago.

"Purr ......"

After a long time, the contemplative man spoke faintly:

"Where I want to be, I will not regret it. In this life, I have rarely been afraid, and I have never regretted it, so no matter what, I have to hold on to the end, you will take all the jewelry of this palace out of the palace and sell it, find a foreign ancestral hall of the Song family, and hide it quietly. ”

Pipa You didn't understand, and wondered: "Niangniang, what are you?" ”

"If there is a big disaster in the future, maybe ...... It can also leave a way for future generations to live. ”

The people around him hung their heads and were silent for a long time, and their eyes were full of mist.

"Yes."

A withered yellow sycamore leaf floated in from the window and landed on the incense burner case carved with vermilion lacquer.

The sound of autumn is getting heavier.

Inside Chenyang Palace.

Since Concubine Song moved away, the Queen Mother has been a lot quieter, and she also sends people to greet her from time to time, sending a lot of cherished gadgets, and treating Concubine Song is much closer than usual.

The servants in the Yin Palace all praised the Queen Mother's virtue.

In the main hall, the Queen Mother was half-lying on the phoenix couch, half-squinting and resting.

Ying Yan stood on the side, quietly waiting, and the white jade cup on the coffee table was bubbling with crimson tea soup.

"How many times have you been there, what can you see her doing?"

Ying Yan shook her head, her face puzzled.

"The slave and maid carefully observed, the dead leaves on the steps of the main gate palace have been piled up more than a foot deep, but they don't see the palace people cleaning up, and the servants of Yumen Xuan are also lazy and unintentional, or they are gathering to play, otherwise they will sit crookedly, and ......there is not even a person who serves tea."

"Concubine Song has a strong personality, and from the perspective of the slave maid, I'm afraid she is really a little discouraged."

"Hmm."

The Queen Mother picked up the white jade cup and took a leisurely sip.

"That's fine."

"Although she is more than brave, but when it comes to mental strategy, she is much inferior to the mourning family, otherwise how can she be a concubine and I am the emperor? Song still held back and didn't report the matter of Song Yi's beheading, and saw how she followed up. ”

Thinking of the past, the Queen Mother sighed deeply.

"After all, the mourning family still owes her a life."

"If she can stop here, the mourning family doesn't want to kill them all and cause criticism. Taizong was able to enable Wei Zheng, it is really a great luck, looking at the current courtiers, if the Song family can receive the command of the mourning family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Ying Yan nodded, but there was still a faint worry.

"It's good to surrender without a fight, but with the three princes here, the Song family has some hope, how can those ministers in the court abandon the darkness and turn to the light so easily?"

"You mean, kill Yin Shu?"

Facing the master's eyes, Ying Yan suddenly lowered her head.

"The slave doesn't dare, it's just that the three princes are in one day, and there is always a knife hanging on our heads."

The Queen Mother gently took her hand.

"What do you mean, the mourning family also understands, why doesn't the mourning family think so? It's just that keeping him now is still somewhat useful, and the queen's temperament is not as good as before, and she has become a little perverse and suspicious. ”

"Zheng's father and brother died in battle, it was originally Ji Xian who transported grain and grass and delayed the date, but the key reason is that Song Yi premeditated the trap, and now Song Yi has been disposed of, and there is no proof of death. This fire, since we sent it to Concubine Song, we only watched the queen go to add oil, what does it have to do with the mourning family? ”

After saying this, Ying Yan couldn't help but be very admired.

"The Queen Mother's good idea!"

She opened the golden beast smoker, added two spoonfuls of rose powder, gently closed the hijab, leaned on and sniffed for a while, and her expression was much soothed.

For a while, the hall became pleasant again.

"How's Concubine Yi doing lately?"

"It's still the same, every day is either perfume or poetry painting, or you want to fight crickets, just like the mood in the boudoir, even if the palace people, one by one is not the same, there is no posture of the lord of the palace, only afraid of ......"

The Queen Mother waved her hand.

"It's okay, the purpose of the mourning family is to not want her to manage the harem, has the emperor been there recently?"

"I went but I went, but I always had to leave in a while, Concubine Yi was not very good at enveloping the Sacred Heart, and she was not favored, but she is still ...... It's still a virgin. ”

"Idiot!"

When the people on the seat heard this, their eyes turned blank, and they threw the Buddhist beads in their hands on the coffee table, quite dissatisfied.

"Calm your anger, don't be angry."

"The women in the palace, there is nothing without love, she is relying on the love of the mourning family, she dares to be so careless, it seems that the mourning family is too good to her! You go to spread the word, the Showa Palace month is halved, the small punishment is a big commandment, and the mourning family looks at her! ”

"Yes."

Inside Showa Palace.

Since entering the palace, Concubine Yi's words and deeds have always been casual, her temperament is eccentric, and she is not restrained at all.

The palace people were cautious in their words and deeds in other palaces, and they were used to serving, and when they suddenly met such a master, they felt strange at first, but the more they went to the back, the more they became more and more happy.

The Showa Hall is gradually becoming a trend, and in the huge Yin Palace, it is like a paradise of paradise.

At this moment, Concubine Yi was lying on the ground fighting crickets.

"Quick, General Huwei, beat it!"

"Oh, Mr. Sage, you're fighting back, punch it, and do another roundhouse kick! Roar! ”

The voices of the people on the ground are full of emotion, their words and deeds are very funny, and they don't have everyone's beautiful demeanor at all, Le Yue stood aside and waited, she was already used to it, and she couldn't stop pursing her mouth and laughing.

"Ouch, you ...... you don't fight"

Seeing Concubine Yi stomping her feet again and again, Le Yue took a cup of tea, handed it over and said, "Master, take a break, if you fight like this again, this cricket will be killed." ”

The man on the ground stood up, took the teacup, swallowed a big mouthful, and rolled up his sleeves in a hurry.

"These minions want to save trouble, just get me some missing arms and short legs."

"Let's go, take the cage, let's go catch it ourselves!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she saw Aunt Yingyan of Chenyang Palace, standing under the palace corridor and walking towards her.

"Concubine Yi, where are you going?"

"I ......"

Ying Yan's face was gloomy, and she glanced coldly at the person in front of her, and saw that her hair was in a thick bun, her face was lightly powdered, and she was only wearing a palace maid's lake-colored skirt, a pair of semi-new satin embroidered shoes under her feet, and her sleeves were rolled up high, revealing her snow-like forearms.

"Unorthodox!"

With a stern reprimand, everyone knelt down in unison.

The pair of gloomy eyes fell on the girl next to Concubine Yi, and when she saw that she was still holding a cricket cage in her hand, her mouth was even more angry.

"The master is not sensible, and the girl is also messing around! Pull it down, and the rod will be punished twenty times, so as to set an example. ”

"Auntie......"

When Concubine Yi heard this, she suddenly raised her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and begged with sorrow: "Aunt calm her anger, all the mistakes are the fault of this palace, and this palace is willing to accept the punishment, and she really doesn't do this girl's business." ”

The tone of the person in front of him didn't let him go at all.

"Niangniang, the country has national laws, the palace has palace rules, there are no rules, the slave made a mistake back then, and she was also punished, do you want to cover up?"

"No ......"

"Take it down!"

"Wait!" Concubine Yi glanced at Le Yue and said hurriedly, "If the slave maid makes a mistake, it is the master's misdiscipline, please punish my aunt even with the palace......"

After speaking, she actually knelt on the ground with a "bang".

"Little master, please get up, the slave and maid can't afford it......"

Ying Yan panicked and hurriedly bent down to help, but Concubine Yi was lying on the ground, refusing to get up.

She looked up with a small face, her eyes watery, and she looked very pitiful.

"Auntie, everyone in the palace praises you for your kindness, you are a bodhisattva, the Buddha purifies all sentient beings, Hua Tuo hanging pot can not race you to go, this matter is the fault of the palace, forcing her to find the cricket cage, you just let Leyue go."

The air was dreary and silent.

After a while, looking at the people on the ground, Ying Yan slowly opened her mouth.

"That's it...... Let her go. ”

"Thank you, aunt, Aunt Fushou Shuangxin, what a living bodhisattva!"

As he spoke, under the plaque at the temple gate, people who had already knelt down in unison were all bowing their heads, and people were panicking.

"According to the order of the Queen Mother, the Showa Hall is not disciplined, and the wisps violate the palace rules, and half of the palace people in the Showa Hall are cut off, and they are not in the clean room, and the rest are left to observe, and the main palace of the Showa Hall is the concubine, and the share is halved to show punishment."

Concubine Yi was still smiling just now, looking like a monkey skin, but at this moment, her face immediately straightened, and her expression became extremely solemn.

She bowed solemnly.

"Yes, the concubine obeys."

"The Queen Mother's anger this time is all caused by the mother's indulgence, and I hope that the mother will learn from the previous car and no longer make the Queen Mother worry and worry."

"My aunt's teachings are true, and this palace keeps them in mind."
