Qiao'er's face was embarrassed, and she smiled curtly: "What did my father-in-law say?" ”

The eyes of the little eunuch who guarded the door made Qiao'er sit still, and she only felt as if there was a light with thorns on her, looking at her, and she didn't want to return to Weiyang Palace, but Tuoba Chen's words echoed in her mind: "Qiao'er, I can't canonize you immediately, after all, you are a person in the queen's palace, no matter who I don't care about, I can't ignore the face of the queen, you go back, I will discuss with the queen." ”

If Qiao'er before was like a delicate flower soaked in rain and dew, but at this time, Qiao'er seemed to have experienced the destruction of frost in an instant, the blush on her face faded, becoming like a snow-white silk curtain hanging next to the bed, she said softly: "Your Majesty, the slave wants to serve by your side, and she will not leave a step." ”

Tuoba Chen was dressed by Fuqing, turned his head and glanced at it quite coldly: "Don't worry, you are now my person, and the queen will treat you well." ”

Before Qiao'er served people all the year round, she was naturally very good at observing words and feelings, and she caught a glimpse of impatience between Tuoba Chen's eyebrows, and said busily: "The slave obeys the order." ”

She took a deep breath, ignored the little eunuch's sneer at her, and said, "The queen is in the dormitory?" ”

As he was talking, he saw a woman who looked like a palace maid coming out of the main hall, and said loudly: "Qiao'er, Niangniang called you in to reply." ”

Qiao'er unconsciously squeezed the tea cake in her hand and said, "Yes." ”

She walked quickly into the inner hall, and it was already ten years of dusk, but there was no palm lamp in the hall, only the halo of the setting sun penetrated through the window lattice, with a touch of dusk.

There were no other palace people in the hall, it was as if it was a no-man's land, Qiao'er stepped forward, and every step could hear a crisp recollection, step by step, all of which hit her heart.

With every step she took, a layer of sweat came out of her palms, her breathing gradually became short, and as soon as she stood still, she heard an emotionless voice say, "Qiao'er, are you afraid?" ”

Qiao'er's knees weakened, and she knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, Qiao'er is guilty." ”

Lan Ruo, who was sitting at the top, sneered, the voice was clear and short, but for some reason, Qiao'er shivered, and for a moment, she regretted it very much in her heart that she had made today's decision.

"Are you guilty? Okay, tell me, what are you doing wrong? Lan Ruo's gold-wrapped jade tassels hung on the sideburns, shining brightly.

"Slave maid - slave maid - " Qiao'er muttered, unable to continue.

Lan Ruo looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, she never thought that the maid who had been by her side for more than ten years would betray her.

But now was not the time to dispose of her, she raised a kind smile, Shanshan got up, walked to Qiao'er's side, and pulled her up.

Qiao'er shrank back half a step and whispered, "Niangniang-"

There was already a cry in her voice, and Lan Ruo hid all her disdain in her eyes and said: "Qiao'er, this palace knows that you are embarrassed, Bo'er's temperament, although the eldest lady helps to cover it up, but this palace also knows a thing or two, originally, this palace also thought about how to do it once and for all." Now it seems that this method is also a good idea. ”

Qiao'er didn't expect Lan Ruo to be as angry as she imagined, her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and they slid down her cheeks, Lan Ruo gently helped brush them away, and said, "You stupid girl, what are you crying about?" ”

Qiao'er felt a little guilty in her heart, and she choked up and said, "Isn't Niangniang blamed Qiao'er?" ”

Lan Ruo sighed and said, "What does this palace blame you?" This palace knows that you are also embarrassed, Qiao'er, you have been with this palace for more than ten years, what kind of person you are, this palace couldn't be clearer, okay, don't cry, this palace will discuss with Your Majesty and give you a name. ”

Qiao'er was already speechless with gratitude, Lan Ruo stroked Qiao'er's cheek and said, "Okay, tired, let this palace serve you to bathe, you and I will only have a few days to get along, and we will be sisters in the future." ”

When Qiao'er saw the emotion that Lan Ruo said, she felt more and more guilty in her heart: "Queen Mother, no matter where Qiao'er is in the future or what her identity is, she will always be the person next to her and her right-hand man." ”

Lan Ruo seemed to be moved to tears, and said, "You girl, just go down and rest first." ”

After that, he called someone in and went out with Qiao'er.

For a while, the palace people up and down the Weiyang Palace knew that the queen mother not only punished Qiao'er, but even gave Qiao'er full face.

Rao is a person who disdains Qiao'er in every way, and because of the queen's trip, he had to restrain his expression.

At this time, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fuqing stood at the bottom of the steps, helping Tuoba Chen sort out the documents scattered on the case, Tuoba Chen's expression was a little lazy, and said, "But I heard about it?" ”

Fuqing nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the slave has already sent someone to inquire, and the queen mother not only did not find an excuse to punish Qiao'er, nor did she embarrass her, but attached great importance to it." ”

Fuqing also felt strange, he didn't believe that the queen could be so generous, the maid next to him climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed, and she could still deal with it calmly.

Tuoba Chen closed his eyes and sighed, Fuqing saw that he looked tired, so he hurriedly sped up the speed in his hand and put away the paperwork, and then walked to Tuoba Chen's side, helped Tuoba Chen beat his legs and said, "Your Majesty is troubled?" ”

Tuoba Chen sneered, his eyes opened again, but the cold in it seemed to be frozen layer by layer, and he said: "The queen is really the master of the harem, even if I do this, I can still deal with it calmly, among them, I am afraid that it confirms a certain thing." ”

Yes, if Lan Ruo is, he couldn't be clearer, over the years, how many women he has pampered have died at her hands, he has opened one eye, closed one eye, and ignored it, left and right are just some despicable slaves, such a person, how can she let this happen to her side?

There may be only one thing that has made her tolerate so far, and that is that Qiao'er knows some of her secrets.

Sure enough, sure enough-

Tuoba Chen looked at the desk, those castor beans, musk pills, and there seemed to be some pain in his eyes, does he love Lan Ruo? Maybe it's love, she has known him for so long, and the two have joined hands to get to their current position.

But now that they have been walking hand in hand for so long, maybe some things have really been washed away in the wind and rain again and again, for example, he is the emperor of the Great Calendar, this harem, or his harem.

Fuqing looked at Tuoba Chen's expression, and pondered for a long time before saying: "There is one more thing, today's queen mother seems to have a fetal gas, and for this reason, she also passed on Imperial Doctor Wei, Your Majesty - but you want to go over and have a look?" ”

Tuoba Chen shook his head and said, "Since I have invited the imperial doctor, it must be no big deal, it's just that I'm tired, let's drive the Yiyue Palace." ”

Fuqing was stunned, came back to his senses, and trotted down.

Shu Miao was very happy, this is the first time the emperor has come to his palace in the past half a month, she is to call the palace people to burn incense, and let the maid help her make up, Chun Tao looked at her at a little overwhelmed and smiled: "Little master, don't be busy, your hair has been grated three times, and if you grate it again, I'm afraid it will break." ”

Hearing this, he hurriedly put down the rosewood carved grate in his hand, and took out a pearl hairpin from the drawer of the makeup.

Several pearls of the same size, round and clustered together, with a ruby in the middle, looking like a plum blossom with red stamen and white petals, she said, "What about this?" Chun Tao, how about I bring this? Will Your Majesty like it? ”

"I like whatever you bring." The two of them looked happy, looked in the direction of the door, and sure enough, they saw Tuoba Chen walking into the hall with Fuqing.

Thinking that his embarrassment was seen by Tuoba Chen, he couldn't help but blush: "The people are getting more and more lazy, and Your Majesty doesn't know how to report when he comes in." ”

Tuoba Chen smiled: "I didn't let them pass, if not, where would I still see such a sincere side of Concubine Ai?" ”

Shu Miao's face became more and more shy, as if it was a red cloud, Chun Tao retreated with interest, Tuoba Chen walked into Shu Miao's side, took the pearl hairpin from her hand and said: "Plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses plum fragrance, this pearl and ruby are combined, it is really chic, and it is the most suitable for you." ”

After that, he found a suitable position and inserted the hairpin.

Shu Miao looked at the two people in the bronze mirror, and under the candlelight, it became more and more ambiguous, and Shu Miao hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again.

But it provoked Tuoba Chen to chuckle, and the air gradually became damp, with a scorching heat.

Tuoba Chen fell asleep deeply, but she couldn't fall asleep, the sticky feeling on her body made her uncomfortable, she got up lightly, and asked the maid to prepare hot water in the side hall, planning to simply freshen up.

But he didn't want to, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a white figure flashing in front of him, heading in the direction of the Reva Palace.

Shu Miao froze in place, her feet seemed to be unable to move, nailed to the ground, and her voice trembled and said, "Chun Tao, you- do you see clearly?" ”

There was no sound behind him, so he had to turn around, and saw Chun Tao leaning on the door panel of his back, looking at himself with a pale face.

Shu Miao's heart sank, and she said loudly: "Chun Tao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chun Tao seemed to have seen something very terrifying, her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't say anything.

Shu Miao was upset, and he was so angry that he wanted to reprimand, but he didn't want to say anything, when he felt a drop of warm things fall on his cheek.

She unconsciously reached out and touched it, smelling a hint of fishy sweetness on the tip of her nose, and she looked down at her fingertips.

It turned out to be blood!
