Chapter 19: The Deep Palace

The people of Zitai Palace have been grounded since this day, and when the vermilion gate slowly closes, it seems to have the smell of wood and dirt that has been sealed for a long time. Shun Su stood in the palace gate and watched the guards close the door, she knew that this was not her own imagination, and it would not be long before the entire Zitai Palace would be forgotten by everyone in the palace, and she didn't know when she would see the light of day again.

The people in the palace were flustered, especially Zhao'er, who almost couldn't hold back her tears. Seeing that Guan Qingqiu was busy and didn't show it, although she was young, she also knew that Guan Qingqiu was sad, and reluctantly showed a smile: "Don't be sad, the little lord likes the little lord so much, sooner or later the ban will be lifted." ”

Guan Qingqiu said softly: "Yes, it is a matter of time. Don't be afraid, although I am in the lockdown period, the Holy Lord has ordered all the supplies of the Zitai Palace to go as usual. ”

Shun Su also echoed: "Yes, not to mention that we don't have to go out just to be quiet, we can wait to see our jokes outside as soon as this thing comes out, and it will be peaceful in the palace." ”

Guan Qingqiu walked up the steps with Shunsu's hand and gently shook Shunsu's hand to show comfort.

There is no disheartening in her heart that everyone thinks, only she knows why. Along the way, she bit her lip and only looked at the mottled sun on the dusky ground, for fear that she would have a strange emotion.

.

Half an hour ago,

The gloomy air almost froze, and the eunuch who knelt next to him as a witness, Concubine Li who knelt on the ground and kept whimpering, and Jiang Rumu, who pointed at the evidence of the crime, everyone didn't dare to breathe, and for a while they could only hear the angry voice of the saint echoing in the hall.

"Femme fatale, how can there be room for someone like you in my palace! Someone came, take her back to her palace and don't go out again. ”

In the inner hall, the queen, the concubines, and all the palace people were standing or sitting, and they were afraid to breathe too much, and the tense atmosphere forced people to breathe.

Shen Yan has always been gentle, and for the first time, with obvious anger, he even said the words 'femme fatale', and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Shen Yan's face at this time.

Guan Qingqiu knelt on the ground, and she felt a trace of weirdness from just now.

Shen Yan, a person who is extremely disgusted, why should he squat down and speak, Shen Yan's face was gloomy that he had never seen before, as if it was a bottomless sea, and in the next second, the waves of anger were about to be swept up by the roarers.

Time passed in the hall second by second, as if it was a string about to break, and somehow, a strong intuition poured out, instantly grabbing her heart, as if something unexpected was about to happen.

She looked at Shen Yan, and there was only a pair of exquisite palace shoes in her afterglow.

That's when —

Guan Qingqiu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Shen Yan was close in front of him, and he could even see the long curly eyelashes, his left eye closed and opened in an instant, and the anger on his face instantly dissolved like ice, like a beautiful flower in the depths of the moonlit night, which reminded Guan Qingqiu of ...... In the spring season, the inky night flashes away.

It's a sly wink.

At that time, Guan Qingqiu almost screamed, but it was the strength in Shen Yan's hand that made her come back to her senses and pretend to be nothing.

.

When I returned to the palace, I opened the sweat-soaked note in my hand, the handwriting on it was blurred, but I could still vaguely see what it was-

The palace is in turmoil, and you can wait in peace.

Take care and see you soon.

The handwriting is scribbled, it can be seen that the writing is in a hurry, Shen Yan's words are very easy to recognize, it is a thin and hard thin gold body, seemingly restrained but contains a sharp edge, thin and clear, the penmanship is free and easy, in one go, especially when the hook is like an iron painting silver hook, like the gold and stone gas of cutting gold and jade.

reminded Guan Qingqiu of the usual appearance of Shen Yanfen's writing, and his handsome side face like a stone statue made people inexplicably have a "determined" idea.

The ink stains remained in the palm of his hand, but they were not tiresome at all, and Guan Qingqiu even wanted to keep the ink stains for a longer time.

Shaking his head, Guan Qingqiu let himself take this thought out of his body.

The faint anxiety in my heart was strangely smoothed out the moment I saw the handwriting, and then there was a voice outside. "-Sister!" Lu Wendi ran in, and the fine sweat on his face came out, which showed how anxious he was.

Guan Qingqiu saw what she wanted to say and interrupted: "Sit down for a while." ”

Wen Di sat for a while and couldn't hold it back: "I'm sorry, I didn't know until now, I didn't have time to plead with the emperor." ”

Guan Qingqiu saw that she was calmer before revealing a wry smile: "It's useless, when it comes to concubines and imperial heirs, grounding is already the lightest punishment." ”

Wen Di looked at Guan Qingqiu in a daze, and then said: "Sister must not be such a person, who wants to harm my sister?" ”

Guan Qingqiu looked at the table and said, "I don't know." ”

A faint sadness appeared on Wen Di's face: "I'm moving out of here today, and the queen wants me to live in Concubine Jia's Eternal Night Palace." ”

"You be careful, Concubine Jia is probably not easy to get along with."

Wen Di's eyes were slightly red: "But what can I do with the queen's will?" ”

Guan Qingqiu sighed in her heart, Wen Di is timid and will not protect herself, and she can't help Wen Di if she is grounded in Zitai Palace.

"Try not to quarrel with Concubine Jia, and put yourself first in everything. If there is anything, remember to find the palace maid to come to Zitai Palace to deliver a message. ”

"Hmm." Wen Di held her hand and nodded, but there was still timidity in the depths of her eyes.

Guan Qingqiu patted her hand.

She can't help it, in this palace, who can keep whom?

Just do your best.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wen Di moved to the palace with things, Wen Di was in a low position, and the change of clothes was the last concubine in the palace, and there were not many things, and a few little eunuchs had finished moving.

She went to greet Concubine Jia, who was the head of the first palace, and Concubine Jia leaned on the rose couch and played with the red agate comb, grating her hair from time to time, and when she heard Lu Wendi asking for peace, she just opened her eyes lightly and closed them again.

Lu Wendi waited for a while, and when he saw that Concubine Jia didn't speak, he took his leave.

…………

The deep courtyard is quiet, the small pavilion is empty, and the cold anvil is intermittent and the wind is intermittent.

Helplessly, the night is long and people are sleepless, and the number of voices and the moon is curtain.

Time passed in a hurry, and more than ten days had passed unconsciously.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the Double Ninth Festival, which is homophonic for "long", is an important day to worship ancestors.

In the Double Ninth Festival, this day is going to be lively and lively according to the previous examples, but this year's incident of Concubine Li, the interest of the Holy Queen Mother is not very high, and it will be handed over to the queen.

It was a rare sunny day on this day, Shen Yan accompanied the Queen Mother to the top of Long Live Mountain, the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, the forest was thick, and the wind blew with a fresh smell of grass and trees, Shen Yan was in a better mood, and the Queen Mother said some interesting things about the previous dynasty, which made the Queen Mother smile and groan.

After returning to the palace, the concubines made all kinds of dim sum, which were fluffy and soft, salty and sweet, and all the ingenuity was spent in it, just to get a praise from the saint or the queen mother.

After the queen mother tasted it, she was not stingy with beautiful words, and Shen Yan also prepared Chongyang gifts for all palace concubines.

After three rounds of drinking, the scene became lively, and the sound of silk and bamboo accompanied by singing and dancing was endless.

Shen Jue, the eighth prince, also raised his glass and said: "The younger brother respects the saint with a cup, wishes the saint good health, longevity, everyone in Jokhang lives and works in peace and contentment, and the four seas are peaceful."

Shen Yan smiled and nodded: "The eighth child has really become more and more calm since he got married. As he spoke, he drank all the wine and said, "Recently, the inspectorate of the inspectorate Yu Shi was seriously ill, and now there is a vacancy, do you have any ideas?" ”

This official said that it was not small, but it would not let Shen Yan personally ask.

Shen Jue replied: "The courtiers have always known very little about these, but the supervision of the imperial history seems to be of low rank, but the authority is wide, and the affairs of the hundreds of bureaucrats, including the priests and the military camp, need to know the left and right sides of the court and the outline of the hundred divisions, and need to choose carefully." ”

Shen Yan said: "Do you have any candidates, let's hear about it." ”

Shen Yu replied: "The younger brother has little contact with these things, and there are no candidates, but I think that it is better to choose someone from the Supervision Yuan to experience it than to fall from the outside." ”

Shen Yan nodded in agreement: "What you said is reasonable. ”

He seemed to think for a while, turned to the third prince, Shen Yu, and said, "I remember that you spent some time in the Supervision Yuan?" ”

Shen Yu heard their conversation and didn't know how it got to him, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, my brother did stay there a few years ago." ”

Shen Yan seemed to be very interested: "That's really good, it's better for you to act as the inspector to supervise the imperial history." ”

Shen Yu was a little surprised, since Guan Ru was imprisoned, he was also snubbed, and suddenly got a position, he was still a little oily, and he was flattered at the moment and said: "Thank you for your saint's grace." ”

Shen Yan smiled slightly: "There is no need to be polite at the family banquet. ”

Somehow, Shen Yu suddenly felt a little uneasy when he saw that smile, and then the uneasiness was hidden in the cup change.

After the leftovers were cold, the emperor and the queen mother left together, and Shen Yu saw that the time was not too early and he also took the carriage back to the house, and went straight to Qingjiatai.

Unexpectedly, Guan Jiyun was waiting for him here, and when he saw him, he mentioned the matter of Ruyi, Shen Yu was too lazy to say this, and the two parted unhappily.

The eldest girl Huancui has been following Guan Jiyun for a long time, and when she saw that Guan Jiyun had just come back from outside, her pretty face was full of anger, and she knew that she was angry with the prince again, and said, "The master quarreled with the prince again?" ”

Guan Jiyun sneered, didn't answer, and walked straight to the inner room.

Huancui was a little anxious and said: "It's not a way for the master to go on like this." ”

Guan Jiyun said: "But looking at his appearance, have you ever put me in your eyes?!" I was still secretive with Ruyi before, but now I'm about to make that slut a concubine, how can I bear it! ”

Huancui said: "If you can't bear it, you have to endure it." ”

Guan Jiyun's temper became more and more moody after she became pregnant, and Huancui's words didn't know that the word poked her, so she directly threw out the blue glazed lotus seat ear bottle next to the bed!
