In the twilight, in the middle of the moon, Gao Qixuan stood expressionlessly in front of the dark dormitory door of Weiyang Palace, followed by a group of palace people

They didn't dare to breathe, so they looked at the emperor's expression.

"The queen is asleep?" After half a ring, Gao Qixuan spoke. His voice was neither salty nor light, and he could not hear any emotion, just like in the past.

Jinlan's heart still didn't let go after all, she took a step forward, leaned over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Niangniang said that she was tired of driving during the day, and she was afraid of disturbing the emperor's stability, so she went to bed early." ”

Gao Qixuan's expression did not change, but there seemed to be a slight smile in his eyes, "Okay, the queen is really tired today, and the future will be long." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard his meaningful words, how could the emperor be so tolerant of the queen's actions, they all thought that tonight would be a storm.

Hui Ping and Jinping secretly glanced at each other, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. This queen mother has a problem for them, and the days when this head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers are not easy.

Gao Qixuan glanced at the dark dormitory, "Since the queen has already gone to bed, let's go back." ”

The chamberlain beside him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Which lady is the emperor going to sleep with?" ”

"I still have political affairs to do, so I went back to Zichen Palace." Gao Qixuan turned around and strode out, not allowing them to say another word.

The chamberlain sighed quietly, hurriedly followed his footsteps, and commanded in a loud voice: "Drive the Zichen Palace!" ”

Seeing that Gao Qixuan was gone, Hui Ping and Jin Ping hurriedly stepped forward to help Jinlan. Jinlan had already lost consciousness in her legs and feet due to bending over for a long time, and finally got up with the help of their strength.

"Is there something wrong with my aunt?" Hui Ping stared at her with a pair of eyes and asked with concern.

Jinlan smiled and waved her hand, rubbed her numb legs with her fingers, and said softly: "It's okay, I can stand it for the time being when your aunt waits." ”

Jinping glanced at the closed door of the dormitory, and said with some indignation: "Auntie, why is this queen mother tossing us like this." If this continues, I won't be long before I see the day when my head moves. She wrung her eyebrows and stomped her foot sharply.

Jinlan glanced in the direction of the dormitory, the gentleness on her face immediately disappeared, and she said solemnly: "Maybe it's because I spoil you too much on weekdays to allow you to be so presumptuous!" ”

Hui Ping saw that Jinlan was angry, and hurriedly pulled Jinping to lean over and said, "Auntie, we lost our words, and please aunt don't get angry." ”

Jinlan hated that iron could not become steel and said: "You have studied with me for so long, and you are still so uncompetitive." She sighed faintly, "Where is this queen mother who can't get along with us, she is obviously competing with the emperor." ”

She glanced at Jinping, who was pouting, "You can manage this kind of thing as a little palace maid." ”

Jinping lowered her eyes as if deflated, and remained silent.

Jinlan turned her head to stare at the dormitory, as if intentionally, as if unintentionally, and said: "This lady also has a knot in her heart and can't think about it, after all, she is trapped in this deep palace, and she has nothing to rely on, and this fragile life is just a word from the emperor." ”

Hua Qingrao sat on the chair in the darkness, and she heard Gao Qixuan's arrival and their words clearly.

It's not that she doesn't know what's at stake, she just feels that she is a crippled life and can't take revenge, so what's the point of living so hard in this world.

She once thought that Zhao Yu was her good match, and even wanted to abandon her hatred and return to the mountains and forests with him. But now that it looks like it's just another wishful thinking on her part.

The moonlight was hazy, wrapping her thin body, but it couldn't heal the scars in her heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Jinlan got up very early, and went to Huiping and Jinping's room to pick up them who were still sleepy.

"Why does my aunt wake up so early?" Hui Pingsu rubbed the sleepiness in her eyes with her hand and asked puzzled.

Jinlan took their clothes that they put on the screen at random, and explained softly: "Last night was the first night for Niangniang to sleep in the palace, I am afraid that Niangniang will not sleep well, so it is more reassuring to go and see it earlier today." ”

Jinping took the clothes, and her smile was as bright as the spring light of March, "It's still my aunt who thinks about it." ”

When a few of them packed up and went to the dormitory, Hua Qingrao was already sitting in front of the mirror in her middle clothes, combing her long hair as if she was not in good spirits.

Hui Ping looked at the sun outside the window, and now she is afraid that it is only when she has just arrived, why has this lady already risen. She was afraid for a while that if she hadn't listened to Aunt Jinlan's words, she would have made a big mistake today.

"The mother is dressed so thinly, how good is it to suffer from the cold." Jinlan glanced at Jinping, who walked quickly to the screen and took a coat for Hua Qingrao to put on.

Jinlan looked at Hua Qingrao's face, found that she was a little haggard, and asked, "Didn't Niangniang sleep well last night?" ”

Hua Qingrao gathered the clothes on her body, and there was a faint smile on her face, "It's just that I slept so early and woke up early." ”

Jinlan knew that she was lying, and she must have stayed awake all night, but she didn't debunk it on her face, and said in a good voice: "It's good for the mother to sleep well, and the mothers from the various palaces will come to ask for peace in a while, and they will have to deal with it." ”

Hua Qingrao put down the wooden comb in her hand, stood up with her clothes, and said coldly, "You call them back, I don't see them." ”

Jinlan responded with a smile at her words: "Yes, the slave will send someone to inform you that you will come back tomorrow." ”

Hua Qingrao looked back and corrected: "It's not just that I won't see it today, and I won't see it in the future." ”

The smile on Jinlan's face did not diminish, "Yes, the slave understands." She turned her head and commanded softly: "Huiping, Jinping, why don't you go to the palace ladies to report quickly." ”

Hui Ping and Jin Ping looked at each other hesitantly, what kind of thing is this, why didn't my aunt persuade her to come like this?

They opened their mouths, but did not speak, nor moved.

Jinlan saw what was on their minds, and pretended to be angry on her face: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't go quickly!" ”

Hui Ping peeked at Hua Qingrao's back, sighed secretly, leaned over and said, "Yes." Then, pulling Jinping and walking out quickly.

Jinlan slowly turned around and took out the clothes sent by Gao Qixuan, "Niangniang, let's change into clothes, although it's summer, it's still cooler this morning." ”

Hua Qingrao turned her head to look at the shirt in her hand, it was just an ordinary goose yellow gauze skirt, then she let go and said "um" in a nasal voice.

She looked at Jinlan's serious appearance of dressing her, and her face softened, "How long have you been in the palace?" ”

A dignified smile appeared on Jinlan's face, smoothing out the tiny wrinkles on Hua Qingrao's clothes, "Back to Niangniang, it has been 10 years since the slave maid entered the palace at the age of 12. ”

She helped Hua Qingrao sit down, picked up the comb and gently combed her green silk like a waterfall, "What kind of bun do you want to comb?" ”

Hua Qingrao glanced at the woman with a somewhat haggard face in the mirror, and her fingers couldn't help but touch her cheeks, "Feel free." ”

The phrase "women are those who please themselves" suddenly appeared in Jinlan's mind, I am afraid that the emperor is not the person hidden in Niangniang's heart.

"It's almost time to leave the palace, who else is there in the family?" Hua Qingrao said without a match.
