Back in the Tongjian Pavilion, the main hall was already full of palace maids, Congguang sat on the main seat, and Ling Zifei stood on one side. He took a sip of tea and said, "Who said that my Guanyin statue is gone?" The palace people walked out of the crowd, knelt on the ground and said: "It was the slave who confiscated the statue of Guanyin, and made it clear that he was a lady who entered the Rou." ”

Jin Rou hurriedly bowed, "It's an object given by the Queen Mother, and the slave is anxious." Thinking that it should have been stolen by someone in the museum, he asked someone to search the house, and found it in Zifei's room, so he naturally thought that she stole it. He hurriedly argued: "The slave maid originally wanted to wait for the son to come back before making a conclusion, but Qi'er said that the slave maid was an outsider and couldn't be the master, and she was the palace maid in charge, so she had to let her dispose of it." ”

Qi'er glanced at Jinrou hatefully, "It was the lady who said that she wanted to tie up her son and not go to the Shang Palace, and the slave maid thought that the palace rules were the same, so she agreed, and it was not a conclusion made by the slave and maid privately." ”

Zifei saw that they were arguing with each other, and suddenly felt funny, "You don't have to quibble, I see that you guys are working together to bully me, you are all jealous of me and being close to Liu Congguang on weekdays, but seeing that he is not there, you think of a way to drive me away, and you can't get rid of it one by one." ”

Liu Congguang not only appreciates Zifei's straightforwardness, but is also difficult to parry. He has been in and out of the palace since he was a child, the queen mother loves him like a son, the court and the opposition compete for power, he sees and hears a lot, even in his own house, it is common for concubines and girls to compete for favor and beauty, these things are understood by everyone, but they will not be picked out, and they are also very taboo, no matter how hated in their hearts, they are always close and kind on the face.

He didn't understand how she would deal with them in the future, and he was very worried about how she would deal with them in the future. But I heard her smile heartily in the past, "You don't need to be so afraid, you all look at what is going on the ground." I think I'm also wrong, if I had said earlier that he gave me the pendant, there would have been nothing. I spent the night in a dark room, and I was unharmed, and I had a good meal and was in good spirits again. It's the busiest time in the morning, so you all have to go about your work. ”

Liu Congguang also said: "It's good to know your mistakes, let's disperse." When the palace people heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly lowered their heads and went out.

There were only two people left in the hall, and a white mist floated in the teacup, Liu Congguang took out the Guanyin statue from his arms, handed it to Zifei again, and asked, "Why didn't you say that I gave it to you at that time?" ”

Zifei took it, carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief, and put it on the cuffs, "At that time, you think that if I say a word, they will believe it?" Will you let me go? You know why she hates me. As for Qi'er, I have a deep grudge with her for a long time. When the palace people saw that these two people were going to push me into the fire pit, they naturally added fuel to the fire and watched the excitement. ”

Congguang asked again: "With your character, you must be investigated to the end, why did you let them disperse?" ”

Zifei bent his mouth and smiled: "What can I do with them?" Spanking? Sent to the dyehouse? Wouldn't I be the same person as them? As a certain Taoist priest said, you have to be forgiving and forgiving. Besides, you are not from the palace after all, how can you protect me for the rest of my life? In the future, when you are gone, they will not redouble their efforts against me. ”

Congguang tapped his fingers on the stool hand, with an interesting face, "I originally wanted Qi'er to go back to the Division and let you take over as the palace maid in charge of the Tongjian Pavilion." Just as he was about to say ...... to the people"

Zifei jumped in front of him with an "ah", "Why didn't you say it earlier, I'll call them all back now." Congguang grabbed her hand, her hand was smooth and warm, like a gentle and soft jade, sweet as a glutton, and she was a little reluctant to let go. Zifei looked at him with a wink, and he stammered, "You...... You ......"

Zifei smiled: "When did you become a stammer?" I...... What am I? ”

Cong Guang let go of his hand, turned his head, looked out the window at the thick spring, the blue sea and blue sky, and said with a gloomy face: "Do you want to be promoted so much?" ”

Zifei smiled: "Of course, every palace maid wants to be promoted." The higher the rank, the more respected. ”

Congguang still didn't look at her, and his voice was ethereal, "Haven't you thought about leaving the palace?" ”

Zifei didn't know what he meant, so he just said: "Since the day I entered the palace, I haven't thought about going out of the palace again." ”

Cong Guangding looked at her steadily, his eyes were like stars and moons, and said, "Then you should think about it from now on." Zifei stood in the temple for a long time, and it was not until he went out of the temple that he vaguely understood what he meant.

His back was tall and broad, his green shirt floating, and he was as burly as a pine, and she wanted to run over and grab him, telling him that she had already thought about it, she wanted to get out of the palace, and she wanted to get out of the palace all the time. But she did nothing, but stood, standing in the darkness of the temple, where the sun could not shine, and gently shed tears.
