Zhuang Siyan entered from the Xihua Gate, passed through the Taihe Gate, and then went to the middle right gate, thinking all the way, but he didn't expect what Ling Tiancheng was doing.

However, she didn't rush to see him first, but went back to Baizhu Garden.

The palace people in Baizhu Garden, as soon as they saw her appear, they thought they were dreaming, so they hurriedly rubbed their eyes, confirmed that the person in front of them was their master, and even their voices were broken, and they shouted inside: "Niangniang is back, Concubine Wanniang is back......"

Lan Xin and Ping'er were sitting in the room while talking, embroidering some handkerchiefs and playing, hearing this, the needle suddenly did not pinch steady, and actually pierced the hand.

She didn't care about the pain, put her fingers in her mouth, grabbed the guy on her body, and ran out with Ping'er.

At the door, I happened to meet Zhuang Siyan, who was just about to step inside.

The six eyes looked at each other, and there was a feeling of tears.

Lan Xin knelt down with Ping'er, and tears fell.

Zhuang Siyan looked at them happily: "What's the matter, I've been out for a lot longer than this time, and I haven't seen you so excited, what's wrong this time?" ”

Ping'er opened her mouth quickly, and said first: "Niangniang, you can come back." ”

Zhuang Siyan said "um", sat down on the couch, and the little palace maid had already come in with tea, and prepared the fruit according to her preferences.

She grabbed a handful, threw one into her mouth and said, "Even the food is prepared, and I really have a heart." ”

Ping'er pouted, but she couldn't hold back, and two more tears fell: "The slave maid heard that Niangniang had already returned to Beijing, why didn't she come to the palace?" ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at her with a provocative eye, very funny: "What, think I want to be so powerful?" ”

She is still dressed in men's clothes, and her tone is full of teasing when she speaks, which makes Ping'er blush.

But in the end, it is still a child's heart, although the time in the palace is not short, but since following Zhuang Siyan, he has not played those intrigues, but has liberated his nature, and when he heard this, he also replied: "No." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Siyan smiled directly: "Okay, I will come back often in the future, I didn't expect that there was such a pretty girl in the palace thinking about me, how could I be nostalgic outside." ”

These words, which should have come from the mouth of a man, were said casually by Zhuang Siyan, and he didn't feel hypocritical at all, but the people who listened to them turned into a big red cloth.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, a room of people had already gathered in the inner hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs had not seen their masters for a long time.

Zhuang Siyan was also generous, and asked Lan Xin to open her small warehouse, took the silver out, and divided two taels of silver per person.

At that time, Ling Tiancheng also got the news.

It was Li Fu who reported to him: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is back." ”

Ling Tiancheng was sitting in the Chenxi Hall looking at the excerpts, and when he heard this, his hand paused for a moment, and then asked him, "Where is it at this time?" ”

"I'm back to Baizhuyuan."

Ling Tiancheng didn't speak again, but he couldn't read the words in his hand anyway, he looked at one line and three lines, and grinded a book in his hand for a long time, and finally put it down.

Li Fu stepped forward and came up with an idea: "Your Majesty, do you want the old slave to go to Baizhuyuan?" ”

Ling Tiancheng looked at him sideways: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Fu hurriedly replied: "Naturally, it is a rumor that Concubine Wan Niangniang came to see the emperor......"

"Why pass on her, she will naturally come to see me when she comes back, just wait patiently."

Li Fu didn't say it, but he was thinking in his heart: "This emperor, even if he has a hard mouth, he says that he is patient, but he doesn't see how patient he is, and he can't even stand it." Besides, isn't it normal to pass on a concubine in the palace? There's no shame in that. ”

The idea of the eunuchs in the emperor is always different.

Ling Tiancheng didn't go, so naturally he had a reason not to go.

Everyone is back, not in a hurry for a while, Zhuang Siyan is just not busy coming to see him, it is estimated that there is something wrong, so he has to hold his breath and wait for her.

But waiting, until the lights came on, the dinner in the palace was used, and Concubine Xian sent someone to check to see if he had gone to Baizhuyuan, but Zhuang Siyan still didn't come to see him.

Ling Tiancheng couldn't help it, wandered around the Xuan Hall several times, and finally was really depressed, so he asked Li Fu to call Concubine Xian.

Since the last time Ling Tiancheng went to Pingyang Pass, Concubine Xian moved out of the cold palace Qixiang Palace and lived back in Jinghe Palace.

At this time, when she heard that Ling Tiancheng had recruited her, she hurriedly dressed up, dressed up in a bright dress, and took her palace people to the Xuan Palace.

Ling Tiancheng didn't even look at her, and asked after giving her a seat: "I heard that a while ago, you talked about a family affair to Jia Mingyuan in the past two days, but is it suitable?" ”

Jia Xian hurriedly returned: "The daughters of other families in the capital are all self-cultivated, but Ming Yuan is now valued by the emperor, and it is not easy to find a daughter of an ordinary family at will, so the concubine thinks that the daughter of Qiu Beihou is still quite suitable." ”

Of course, Ling Tiancheng knew Qiu Gang, and he also knew that he had a woman and three men.

This daughter is simply a famous pearl in the palm of her hand, I heard that when he was in the north, how many famous sons came to the door, he refused, looking at the posture, he wanted to keep his daughter by his side all the time.

Jia Xian can take a fancy to his daughter, of course, the most important thing is Zhenbeihou's family background.

That is the person who holds a piece of land and still holds military power in his hand, if the Jia Qiu family really marries, Jia Youshan's position in the court will be more secure, and even with Jia Mingyuan, he will be on the rise, and there will be no worries.

He calculated these things clearly in his heart, but his face was silent: "Well, this matter depends on the wishes of both parties." ”

Jia Xian's face was not so good-looking.

When she learned Jia Mingyuan's intentions today, she was in a hurry to send someone to control the bottom of the town, but when she got the reply, Qiu Lingyin did not want to stay in the capital, nor did she intend to marry the sons of the capital.

This makes Jia Xian very faceless, if it is an ordinary family, even if their family robs this parent, that is, robbed, no one can do anything to them.

But Zhenbei Hou is different, there are people with military power in their hands, which is also the place that their family values, they can't rob it, and they can't be offended.

So tonight, when I heard the emperor ask about this, I thought about taking the opportunity to ask the emperor for a marriage, so that I was not afraid that he Qiu Gang would not agree.

But she didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing, which made her very suspicious of Ling Tiancheng's purpose for calling him over.

Jia Xian was still speculating, no matter how she opened her mouth to make Ling Tiancheng change her mind, Ling Tiancheng spoke first.

"I remember that when you were in Jiafu before, you were very smart, and like Jia Mingyuan today, you are also a rare talented woman in the capital. It just so happens that I got a painting today, and no one appreciates it, so why don't you come and show it to me. ”

After speaking, he said to Li Fu, who was standing aside, "Take out the painting that Hua Zhenghai sent in today." ”

When Jia Xian heard Hua Zhenghai's name, she felt a little uncomfortable, and the fingers that were originally holding the handkerchief involuntarily tightened, and her face was not very good, and it was even more ugly at this time.

But he couldn't caress Ling Tiancheng's intentions, but said with a smile: "This Lord Hua, I have always heard that he is a rough man, how can he still have this Yaxing, and he is going to send it to the emperor to paint?" ”

Ling Tiancheng pretended not to see anything: "Being an official in the court, which one is not literate and has been admitted in many elections, how can there be any complete rude words, it is just how much you usually like." ”

said very reasonably, Jia Xian was speechless, but the Jia family and this Hua family are really indescribable, and I don't know what Ling Tiancheng wants to test her with Hua Zhenghai's painting at this time?

The more I thought about it, the more nervous I became, the more nervous I was, and the more messy things I had in my heart, and in the end Jia Xian was in a trance, and she didn't seem to see Li Fu walk away, so she took the painting.

It's not a celebrity calligraphy or painting, and I can't tell who wrote it, but the scene in the painting is the night of the capital.

It looks like a person is standing on a high place, looking down, at ten o'clock in the evening, a painting made arbitrarily.

The painting skills are still okay, delicate and steady.

But that angle, as well as the deep colors in the night, makes people look very dignified and depressed, and even have a bad feeling.

Jia Xian didn't dare to speculate, and after reading it, she had to say to Ling Tiancheng: "Your Majesty, this seems to be a night scene in Beijing, but it is chic." ”

Ling Tiancheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if smiling: "It's really chic." ”

Jia Xian caught a glimpse of the smile without comment, and a chill rose up her spine.

Did she just read it wrong? The emperor's smile is cold and faint, more dignified than the colors in this painting.

Could it be that this painting is not presented by Hua Zhenghai at all, but by the emperor?

So what did he mean by painting this, and why did he show it to himself?

Jia Xian didn't have the heart to think about Jia Mingyuan and Qiu Lingyin at this time, and her mind was full of Ling Tiancheng's words and deeds.

In the end, he didn't understand, and he didn't dare to stay in the Xuan Hall for a long time, for fear that something else would happen again, so he got up and said that it was late at night, let Ling Tiancheng rest first.

Don't look at her big face in front of outsiders, and she looks like a concubine, in fact, she is still very scared in her heart.

Ling Tiancheng locked her up in Qixiang Palace several times, so that the emperor valued her to the outside world, and other concubines really envied her, because every time she came out of Qixiang Palace, she could get a new reward.

Just like this time, when she was released, she was given the right to be in charge of the six palaces at the same time.

But Jia Xian knew better than anyone else that the taste in Qixiang Palace was not pleasant, and the feeling of being grounded was not good.

Together, the rewards and power of these concubines are not as dazzling as others look.

To put it bluntly, it is all the credit of her father and brother that she can have today, and she herself has never had a room with Ling Tiancheng until now, let alone a man and a woman.

This situation can barely hold on now, and once there is a change in Jiafu in the future, then she will be no different from the previous Rong Concubine.

Thinking of Concubine Rong, she shuddered.

The two of them once fought side by side, although they were separated by a belly, from the bottom of their hearts, Jia Xian felt that Concubine Rong was smart, beautiful, and talented, and she was a good figure among the concubines in the harem.

But what about the end?

She knelt outside the Chenxi Palace, kneeling from day to night, and from late night to dawn, kneeling until her knees broke, people fainted, and were carried back by the palace people, and threw them into the palace at will, without even anyone to take care of.

She was unwilling, after waking up, she still had to go to see Ling Tiancheng, but even her leg was broken, and she crawled to the palace gate, but the palace gate had already been locked from the outside.

She picked at her fingers until they were rotten, and finally starved herself to death inside.

When they went to the palace outside, they found that there were countless insects and ants crawling on their bodies, and their once beautiful faces had become a large black spot.
