The moon rose in mid-air, and the ambiguous sound in the room slowly quieted down until Guan Ju Pavilion fell into silence. At this time, a dark shadow took advantage of the fact that no one was around, and quietly slipped out of the back door.

She wore a black cloak on her body, showing only two eyes, and looked in a hurry, looking back from time to time to see if anyone was following.

"Pleasant. ”

Suddenly, someone came out from behind the flowers and hit her on the shoulder, she was so frightened that the whole person jumped up, and when she saw the person clearly, she let out a long breath, patted her chest and said: "Qiaoxin, can you have a sound when you walk, it scares me to death." ”

Seeing that she was scared like that, she laughed at her skillfully, and then said solemnly: "The master is waiting for you over there." ”

Lead her to a dilapidated courtyard.

The courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, the bricks and tiles are broken, and a plaque hangs diagonally above the gate, crumbling. The moonlight was light, sprinkled on it, blurring the words that could be recognized on it, leaning on Zhuxuan.

There is a bamboo forest behind this, and when it snows, it is very pleasant to listen quietly to the sound of snow pressing on bamboo leaves.

There used to be a pet concubine living in this place, but then she had a miscarriage and went crazy, saying that at that time she kept saying that her miscarriage was related to the princess, but because there was no evidence, it was over, and then she was really crazy, and it didn't take long for her to die here silently.

The people in the house said that the soul of this favorite concubine did not leave, because when passing by here at night, the miserable cry of a woman could always be heard, and no one dared to move here to live, and then it was deserted.

Keyi walked through the shadow wall and saw Hua Meiniang standing under a bare tree, wearing a dark blue cloak, and her face was also covered by a soft veil, which at first glance thought it was a maid walking at night.

"Master Wan'an. She stepped forward to say hello.

Hua Meiniang lifted the veil, revealing her beautiful face, "Why is it so late?"

Keyi replied euphemistically: "The prince just asked someone to turn off the lights." ”

Hua Meiniang's expression froze, and she scolded with resentment, "Little prostitute, she will seduce the prince all day long." ”

Keyi glanced at her and followed her: "No, it's like the entire palace will compete for favor with her, but what's the use of competing for favor again, she still can't give birth to a child." ”

She originally wanted to belittle Jiao Niang to flatter Hua Meiniang, but she forgot that this was also Hua Meiniang's sore spot, and suddenly saw her face gloomy, but she knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a panic: "The slave doesn't mean this, the master has a small county lord, and he is naturally different from her." ”

Hua Meiniang looked at her coldly, like a poisonous snake spitting a fiery red letter, but suddenly, she took the letter back again, "Get up." ”

Ke looked at her uneasily, slowly stood up, and stood aside with his head down. Seeing this, Hua Meiniang smiled slightly and said, "You did a good job this time." ”

The corner of her eyes glanced at Qiaoxin, who took a purse and stuffed it into Keyi's hand, Keyi held the purse, overjoyed, "Thank you for your grace." ”

"This is what you deserve, if you hadn't been upset in front of the prince, how could there be such a good show today?" Hua Meiniang said with a smile.

Keyi said: "That's still the master's cleverness, and he can see that the princess is dissatisfied with Concubine Xiaohua." After a pause, he said suspiciously: "I just don't understand, why does the master dare to conclude that the prince will definitely support Concubine Xiaohua?"

Hua Meiniang's head was shining, "That's because I know the prince, and he loves to go against the princess the most." Although the two of them get along on the surface, I know that the prince doesn't like the princess, and even dislikes it. Especially now that he is rare with his mother, how can he bear to let her be wronged. ”

Ke Yi interjected with a smile: "Yes, the princess is also thinking about suppressing the master, or the prince came forward and directly divided half of her power." ”

Thinking of that time, Hua Meiniang was proud, and I think that was when she was most proud.

At that time, she had just given birth to Sister Yu, although she was a girl, but the prince loved it, and she went directly into the palace to ask for the title of county lord, and gave her the title of Changle, which can only be had by the child of the concubine.

When she was out of confinement, the prince said that she had merit and asked her to preside over the family affairs with the princess.

But those days were not long, until Jiao Niang entered the house.

Hua Meiniang's smug expression slowly condensed into a sense of sorrow, "It's just that I didn't expect him to be so excessive." ”

Zhenghong can only be worn by the original match, he is in front of the big guy, and he rewards Jiao Niang clearly, does he really have the intention of retiring his wife and standing again?

Hua Meiniang was frightened by such a thought, the spring breeze was in the bones, and the wind in the middle of the night was even more biting cold, she was excited, and quickly calmed down again, and Keyi said: "You have to inquire closely about the news of Guan Juge, once there is any trouble, notify me as soon as possible." ”

Keyi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, master." ”

Hua Meiniang said "um", and took her hand with a smile, "You do things for me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you badly, and I will definitely let you get what you want in the future, and the whole family will be rich and noble." ”

Keyi was overjoyed, and the excitement that couldn't be held back in his heart was full of faces, and he knelt at the feet of Hua Jianniang and kowtowed again and again, "Slave and maid thank the master for his grace." ”

Hua Meiniang's contemptuous gaze condensed on the top of her head, and she let out a sneer that she couldn't hear, and she pouted her lips with disdain.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Yingche was going to go to the morning court, Jiao Niang was tired last night, slept very deeply, and didn't wake up yet.

Seeing that she was not awake, Ying Che couldn't bear to disturb her, so he carefully pulled his arm out from under her head, covered the quilt and got out of bed lightly.

Jiao Niang didn't realize it, and she didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, and no one told her to wake up, and it was too late to say hello to the princess.

"The master is not in a hurry, the prince said when he left, he will send someone to say to the princess, you don't have to go to say hello today. ”

Jiao Niang let out a big breath, then she was relieved, and lay back on the bed, wanting to sleep again, she was too sleepy.

I didn't know what Ying Che was crazy about last night, she almost didn't toss her to death, she just stood up and walked a few steps, and her thighs hurt.

I was just about to fall asleep in a daze, and I heard the sound of rustling outside again.

Jiao Niang frowned, "What's the matter?"

Qing Huan opened the curtain and came in, and there was a maid behind her, the maid was immature, her little face had not grown, and she greeted Jiao Niangli thoughtfully, but her expression was wooden, "Pass on the princess's words, please invite the little flower concubine to Liyuan Courtyard." ”

Jiao Niang was stunned, "Is something wrong?"

The maid was still expressionless, and only said: "Concubine Xiaohua will know when she goes." ”

I had already sent someone to invite her, but Jiao Niang didn't dare to take Qiao, so she changed her clothes and followed her.

At that time, everyone had already arrived, and the house was very quiet, unlike the usual short talk between the east and west families, and the faces of the girls who were all focused on each other, with different expressions.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang looked at the main seat, and saw Yu Chi Zhen sitting on the seat, wearing a red eight-treasure pattern hundred bat skirt, and the carefully depicted eyebrow peaks looked a little more majestic than usual, Jiao Niang was suspicious, Ying Ying bowed, "The concubine is late, please forgive the princess." ”
