The moon and stars are scarce, Ruyue stands in the small courtyard and looks up at the sky, intoxicated in the black, blue and blue night, and his mind is calm. It's been a long time, and I haven't had a good quiet heart blowing the cool breeze of a summer night. It is rare to be calm, and a few frog sounds in my ears from time to time have also become a minor key, blending into this boundless night.

In the past few days, the trivial things in the harem, large and small, disturbed her difficult to be peaceful, and finally she was able to stand in the wind and watch the night, but she felt that this situation was quite extravagant.

Pei Shuang stood far behind Ruyue, and called two small palace maids to hold a lot of mosquito repellent powder to sprinkle. For fear that mosquitoes would fly over and bite on the young lady's fair skin, leaving red marks.

The moonlight is like a waterfall of silver light, dimly sprinkling brilliance, reflecting Ruyue's face is moist, and there is even a glittering halo on the tip of her nose. Suddenly, the eyelashes covered the clear eyes, but the thin shadows could not stop the flowing colors. In the eyes of others, Ruyue is really a peerless woman, and she doesn't think so.

The so-called good woman is probably the kind that can find a lover who will never abandon her mind and spend this life together in peace and comfort, Ruyue always feels that the purity in her heart has long ceased to exist with the erosion of power. And a stunning face is just a necessary means to gain power.

Xu is what Concubine Cheng said, it is much luckier to be born than to make up for it the day after tomorrow. Thinking like this, her heart was slightly sad and bitter, and Ruyue unconsciously stroked the bright moon in her ears.

"Miss, do you have something on your mind?" Pei Shuang couldn't help but step forward and stood lightly beside Ruyue. "Why don't the slaves let the little princess come back? The emperor stayed in Qixiang Palace tonight, and Concubine Zhuang shouldn't have slept at this time! ”

The coldness on her face was warm because she thought of her daughter, and Ruyue shook her head gently: "Don't, I'm afraid that Xiaowei is already asleep at this time, so there is no need to toss her again." ”

"Don't blame the slave for being too talkative, the little princess grew up in Yonghe Palace all day long, like a child of Concubine Zhuang. The slave maid listened to the flowers of Yonghe Palace, and the little princess would call 'mother'. It's hard to say the word 'Eniang'. Miss, are you really willing? Pei Shuang just didn't understand why a good person wanted to send his daughter to someone else's palace to be raised.

Even if Concubine Zhuang treats the little princess well, it is not the same if she is not her own. "The little princess is still young and ignorant. If she knew what was going on, she would definitely be willing to grow up next to her in-laws. ”

Ruyue turned her head slightly and smiled indifferently: "It's good to keep Xiaowei by my side, but Concubine Zhuang is willing to give it up." You can see it now, sister, her heart is on Xiaowei, where can it not be as good as me, the mother-in-law. ”

Stretching out her hand and waving, Ruyue motioned for the little palace maids who sprinkled mosquito repellent powder to retreat, along with the palace people standing on the corridor. He continued to talk to Pei Shuang: "It is precisely for Xiaowei's stability that I must hold the power in my hands tightly." The harem is like the lotus pond in front of us.

You'll never be able to see exactly what's hiding under every lotus leaf. Xu is a bullfrog, Xu is a water snake, who can guarantee that it will not suddenly stretch out its head and bite you? Decentralization is not a good thing for me. Peishuang, I don't know when I became so greedy for power. ”

"Take care of one and lose the other." Pei Shuang lightly spit out these four words. "Miss, your heart is so tired."

Ruyue smiled slightly, and gently touched Peishuang's forehead: "How could I not know, in fact, I think too much and feel too much, and I will hesitate for no reason, maybe it's useless." It's better to choose the most important thing to do, but you won't get carried away. ”

"The slave doesn't understand." Pei Shuang's eyes faintly showed doubts: "At present, the queen's spirit has been greatly reduced, and she is not as good as she was before." The Li family was raided and exterminated, which was also an irreversible ending. Although the Liu sisters are becoming more and more favored, their net worth is there, and they can't match you.

Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Cheng, and Concubine Yu are the same as you, what else worries you? ”

Ruyue pursed her lips and smiled indifferently: "If it is like you, what we see is naturally a picture of happiness and harmony." But Peishuang, this is the deep palace, and there has never been a stable and comfortable day in the deep palace. The more tranquil it is, the more conspiracy there are that we don't know about. ”

After a lot of experience, it is inevitable that the grass and trees are all soldiers. Ruyue always had a very bad premonition, and vaguely felt that something was going to happen. "What's going on in Changchun Palace?" After asking this, Ruyue was a little remorseful.

My heart is filled with these messy things, and when I look at the beautiful scenery of the night, I am afraid that it will already be boring.

Pei Shuang attached his ears slightly, and said softly: "The slave maid went to ask the Shi Imperial Doctor, and said that the unstable trend of the dragon fetus of the beautiful nobleman was gradually revealed. Looking at this, the dragon fetus will be born prematurely in seven months at most. Of course, this is still the best plan, and it is difficult to say whether it can survive that day. ”

"Mei Guiren is smart, I guess she knows it in her own heart." Ruyue doesn't like this charming nobleman, maybe it's because of the relationship between the Li family, maybe not. "Are everyone else safe?"

"En's concubine always accompanies Mei nobles all day long, and walks around with Qixiang Palace more. Not to mention that Chen Chang is here, he will send good things to Qixiang Palace every day. The two nobles of the Liu family are afraid that they are closer than their own mothers. ”

Ruyue remembered the day she listened to the play, and couldn't help but agree: "Liu's lifted her, no wonder she knows how to climb the pole!" It's inevitable, just let Liu give her some sweetness. ”

Chen Changzai was impatient, and it was in vain to give her sweetness. Miss, what do you think, the batch of rookies who entered the palace, Chen Changzai can be regarded as standing out. The emperor gave him another title, and he rewarded Changchun Palace early in the morning. But even so, what about it, the flowers are not red for a hundred days, isn't it cold after all!

With her heart, if it were the time when the saints were in the past, the nobles of the Liu family might not be able to enter her eyes at all. Now there is still some cheekiness indulging her vigor. ”

"But I was negligent, how could you be so disgusted with her?" Ruyue gently held up Peishuang's hands and clasped them with herself. Peishuang's hands were slightly harder, but they were a little softer than her daughter's home.

Pei Shuang pouted: "She? Hmph, I'm afraid it's not worthy of slave disgust! Naturally, she is not the only one. But whatever is most right with you, Miss, the slaves and maids hate it, and they will definitely not give them a good face. ”

There are so many people going back and forth around the emperor, if you hate them one after another, I am afraid that you will only be tired in the end. Ruyue smiled and bent her eyebrows, her eyes were extremely sad: "Silly girl, how many can you hate?" How long can you hate? What do you get at the end of the day? ”

"The slave didn't think so far, and in the end, he would repay him, and none of the people who stood in front of us could be left." Pei Shuang bit his lip and resolutely met his bright eyes: "Miss, in the past, we were all soldiers who came to block the water and cover the earth, and we saw the move." I also have good thoughts in my heart, thinking of forgiving and forgiving people, but I can't kill them all.

But what do we get? Take a step back and open the sky, temporary peace? Neither! Miss, your kindness is only exchanged for their intensified scheming. In the hearts of the slaves, there will no longer be any good thoughts. Only when these people are dead, can the harem be truly peaceful, and you can live a comfortable life with peace of mind. ”

If she had heard Pei Shuang's words before, Ruyue would have felt cold. After all, people's hearts are repeated, and they are all forced by the situation. But at this time, it sounded reasonable, and it almost went along with his own heart.

Facing Peishuang's eyes, through the silver flickering moonlight, he could see the cold hatred under his eyes. Ruyue couldn't tell the difference at all, so it was the feeling that surged in Peishuang's heart, or the reflection in Peishuang's eyes in her own eyes.

"They never wanted to let me go, and I was already tough enough to be merciful. Peishuang, there is a saying, what you said is good. Their intensifying scheming never stopped for a day. That's okay, after all, we can see clearly the sinister hearts of people in such a deep palace. Ruyue gently held Pei Shuang's hand: "You are still by my side, aren't you!" ”

"Miss......" Pei Shuang choked up a little, and before he finished speaking, it was Qin'er who walked over with heavy steps.

"If you are a concubine, Father-in-law Chang is here, please go to Qixiang Palace." Qin'er's eyebrows were locked, her eyes were gloomy, as if something bad had happened.

"At this time, what did the emperor ask the young lady to do?" Pei Shuang said unhappily: "It must be the Liu clan that is used to tossing people." ”

Qin'er didn't know how to say it, but if she didn't say it at this time, she was afraid that her mother would be even more embarrassed in the past, so it was better to take precautions first.

"If you have anything to say, you can just say it." Ruyue saw Qin'er's embarrassment, so she asked first.

Chang Yonggui said that the noble Li appeared on the emperor's stage and accidentally sprained his ankle. The emperor asked you to go over and show her at this time. "Qin'er knows that this kind of humiliation may have been suffered when the concubine was still a nobleman. But for many years, no one dared to trample on the concubine so lightly. Now that there is the emperor's will, it is really embarrassing.

Pei Shuang thought that he had misheard, and hurriedly grabbed Qin'er's hand: "What did my aunt say, the emperor asked our young lady to come over, what are you doing?" ”

"Go and get ready." Ruyue only felt that there was a basin of ice water, which poured down from her head, and instantly poured through her whole heart. Xu is Peishuang didn't want to believe it, so he didn't hear Qin'er's words clearly, but he heard every word very clearly.

"Miss, you can't go." Pei Shuang grabbed Ruyue's wrist: "Auntie, I'm tired of you going back to Father-in-law Chang, just say that our mother has fallen asleep." This kind of pickled thing, even dared to push our Yongshou Palace, she was really tired of her Liu's can't do it. ”

"Go and prepare for it." Ruyue repeated. "Since the emperor has a will, I must go."
