In the palace, Concubine Wan had already heard that Pei Qianhao's Mrs. Xia was pregnant, and smashed the cup in her hand, "Xia Yuyan is pregnant?" ”

"Niangniang......" Chu Xue plopped and fell to his knees.

Wan Concubine got up slowly, the expression on her face was very scared, she stood at the door, looking at the sky, "I'm really fed up with the four corners of the sky." Your Majesty, how have you ever looked at me, how have you ever loved me. Murong Jiuyu, Princess of Changping, is beautiful today, but what about me? I am a chess piece, a chess piece! Speaking of this, Murong Wantian suddenly sneered, and turned his head to look at Chu Xue who was kneeling on the ground, "Chu Xue, you get up." ”

"Yes." Chu Xue stood up tremblingly, not daring to look up at Murong Wantian.

Concubine Wan walked over slowly, "Chuxue, you have followed me since I was a child, I know what kind of person I am, now my position in the palace is not guaranteed, the custody of the third prince has not been obtained for a long time, and the tenth prince is in full swing, so I really have no way, do you have any good way?" ”

"...... Mother, a slave is just a slave. I really don't know what the mother is talking about. ”

"If you can also get the emperor's favor, then I can be regarded as having left and right arms, what do you say?"

Chu Xue immediately knelt on the ground, "The slave and maid have followed the mother since she was a child, and the slave and maid will do whatever the slave and maid do, but the slave and maid have never thought of getting any favor!" Mother's Wisdom! ”

"Look at what you're afraid of, Chu Xue, in fact, you and I are both master and servant and sister, do you understand? On that day, the emperor came up and liked you very much, and rewarded you with the best jade. If I can dedicate you to the emperor, then in the future, you and I will be even more standing in the palace. What do you think? ”

"Slave maid...... The slave listens to the mother. "The first snow deducted his head heavily.

Early the next morning, Murong Wantian asked Chu Xue to send the emperor the freshly made taro balls, Chu Xue was dressed in a white Luo skirt, beautiful but not charming, clear but not cold.

When the emperor saw the first snow, he felt fresh and refined, like a small jasper, with pink cheeks, delicate faces, and beautiful clothes, just like a fairy.

"Warblers, warblers, swallows, swallows, springs, flowers, willows, and willows are true. Everything is charming, delicate and tender, stop and be everyone. This woman is really like Georgie's words. ”

Chu Xue pursed her lips, thinking about the poems that Wan Concubine taught her last night, and then stammered, "The emperor has won the award, and Chu Xue thinks that the scene in another poem by Qiao Ji is more gratifying, the twilight scene of the autumn river, the rouge forest barrier, and the jade mountain screen." ”

"How do you like such old-fashioned phrases?"

"The twilight of the Autumn River, how can you see it if you want to see it? The rouge forest barrier is so magnificent, the flash screen is embedded in the color of jade by the setting sun, and the scenery is intoxicating, but as soon as you follow the mother into the palace gate, you will not see anything. Chu Xue put down the ball in her hand and slowly retreated.

"First snow...... Right. ”

"Back to the emperor, yes."

"Today, I will stay in the Heart Cultivation Temple."

Chu Xue knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Slave obey!" ”

That night, Chu Xue stayed in the Palace of Nourishing Heart to sleep, and Manxia walked into the cabinet with a cup of Lu'an tea, "Niangniang, it's not early, drink a cup of soothing tea, rest early." ”

"The first snow can stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace."

"Yes, the father-in-law who just passed the decree has already come, saying that he has summoned the first snow girl to sleep."

There was a hint of a smile on Wan Tian's face, "Got it, let's go down." ”

"Yes."

Early the next morning, Chu Xue took a sedan chair back to Chuxiu Palace, and according to the number of rituals, he wanted to meet his host mother first. The first snow is a tea ceremony for the concubine, "Niangniang, please use tea." ”

"Even the outfit has changed, does the emperor still like it?"

"The slaves and maids can have today, they are all supported by their mothers, and they dare not forget it in this life."

"Look at your appearance, what kind of climate do I expect you to become, full of slaves and maids, and now you are indeed a real little master, how can you still be so humble."

Chu Xue stood aside with her head down, not saying anything, Murong Wan snorted coldly, "What position did the emperor promise you?" Looking at Chu Xue's appearance of not opening her mouth for a long time, Wan Tian knew that it was not just as simple as sealing a promise. Then he sneered, "You just have to say it, after a while, the father-in-law will come, and you still have to tell me." ”

"Your Majesty...... The emperor sealed the ...... sealed the place of absence. ”

The palace maid in the palace should have started from the official woman, but now the emperor has directly sealed a palace maid, so overstepping, I'm afraid I really like it.

Murong Wan smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor really likes you." ”

"Slaves and maids will always be the slaves of the mother, and they will not forget until death."

"Okay, you're still a slave and a slave and a slave are short, what are you talking like? Now you have to know that you call yourself the little master. Got it? ”

"Yes!" Chu Xue raised her head slightly, looking at the concubine sitting in the hall, but she couldn't be happy, last night, tactfully turned into a grace, and tried her best to make the emperor like it, so humble, so wrong, really uncomfortable, Chu Xue once fell in love with her cousin at home, but was sold into Murong Mansion because of the poverty of her family, and she has never seen her cousin since then, and now she has become a little master, even if the oath of her youth is sincere, I am afraid that she will not count it all. At this moment, although she kept thanking Wan Concubine, she hated herself for being loyal to the Lord in her heart, and in the end she ended up being used.

After a while, the father-in-law arrived at Chuxiu Palace.

"Fengtian carries the emperor Zhao said, Chuxiu Palace Chuxue girl is smart and clever, show off her wisdom, gentle and obedient, and very heartfelt, from now on she will be named Chang Zai, give the name Confucian, Chu Xiu Palace's concubine has a good way to teach, and from now on she will be promoted to Wan Concubine, and give the right to associate the six palaces, Qin this."

"Thank you, Emperor Longen."

On that day, Confucianism was often following behind Concubine Wan, and when the two of them were enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, they happened to meet Concubine De and Concubine Jing.

"Concubine De Niang Niang Jin An, Jing Concubine Niang Niang Jin An" Confucianism often saluted and greeted An. Concubine Jing then replied with a regular salute and said with a smile: "Isn't this the new Confucian Chang here?" I didn't expect it to be so peugeot. Concubine Wan snorted coldly, "I'm afraid my sister forgot, now that the palace is already a concubine, and Concubine Jing only does the usual salute when she sees the palace?" ”

"Sister has caused Concubine Wan to be dissatisfied?"

"When I saw this palace, I only behaved normally, which was really unruly."

Seeing this, Concubine De frowned, "Concubine Wan, you have just been promoted, but be careful, don't climb high and fall heavy." Murong Wan snorted coldly, "Then don't bother Sister Laude." ”

Murong Wantian is now in the prime of life in the palace, on the one hand, he has the Confucian presence that is deeply loved by the emperor, and on the other hand, he also has the power to associate the six palaces, I am afraid that no one in this palace will soon be able to compete with him.

In Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Wan was playing the piano in the pavilion, and Ru Chang walked in, "Niangniang." ”

"You're here. What's the matter? Concubine Wan didn't look up, Ru Chang smiled slightly, "My sister wants to ask my sister for someone to serve in my room." ”

Concubine Wan's fingers plucking the strings stopped, and she slowly raised her head, "Oh? Sister's palace is short of manpower? ”

"It's not that there is a shortage of manpower, it's just that there is no caring person by my side, and I don't feel at ease about anything."

"That's easy, whoever you like, you want to go."

"My sister naturally won't embarrass my mother, there is already a lack of first snow around my mother, and I can't leave in the summer, so what my sister asks for today is mid-autumn."

Concubine Wan frowned, "If you don't mention it, I'm afraid I'll forget about this girl." If you like it, let her go with you over there, and save me a lot of eyesore. ”

"That'...... The younger sister took Shengqiu back to the Seed Confucian Palace. Thank you for your success. ”

After Confucianism and Midautumn left, Manxia stood beside Concubine Wan, "Niangniang, you are really not afraid that the first snow will steal your limelight, and now she is in the limelight, and she is always in the position, so she lives alone in a palace, and the emperor specially changed the Ziluo Palace to the Seed Confucian Palace." Is it really up to her to go? ”

"Chu Xue has an idea, she could have lived with me, but she wants to move out, and it looks like the emperor's will is impossible to disobey, but she actually wants to get out of my sight. But I don't dare to do anything now, she should also know that she is just a piece of meat on my board now, to be slaughtered. As for this name change, it's not a good name, so let her go. Concubine Wan exhaled, "Go and make me a cup of tea." ”

"Yes."

At this moment, in the Seed Confucian Palace, Chu Xue was located in the hall, and two guards walked in with two little eunuchs and little maids.

"Little master, this is the subordinate personally selected for you by Gonggong Zhou of the Internal Affairs Bureau, these two are the guards who guard the Seed Confucian Palace for the little lord - Cao Wei and Cao Wu."

"Stand down."

When several people retreated, Cao Wei's sword fell and he knelt down to admit his mistake.

"It doesn't matter. In midautumn, help Cao Guards pick it up. ”

Sheng Qiu answered, and just picked up the pendant on the ground, and Ru Changzai's eyes changed slightly, "Slow, Cao Guard, can you show this sword pendant to this little master?" ”

"Naturally."

The pendant presented was so familiar, the embroidery was immature, and the workmanship was also very rough, and the corners of Chu Xue's mouth trembled slightly, "This is...... Where does this come from? ”

"This pendant was given to the slave by the little sister in the family."

"Yes...... Can you borrow me for a few days? ”

"This ...... This...... If the little master likes it, you can ask the Shanggong Bureau to do the next one like this. Cao Wei knelt in the hall with his head bowed.

Ru Changzai stood up and said to the people around him, "You guys...... Stand down. ”

"Yes."

At this time, only Chu Xue and Cao Wei were left in the hall.

"Why did you change your name?" Chu Xue's eyes were full of tears, standing in front of Cao Wei, Cao Wei slowly raised his head, looked at the delicate face in front of him, and couldn't help but think of his cousin when he was a child.

He got up slowly, ignoring the etiquette of the master and servant, "Xue'er?" ”

"Brother Xiao."

"Are you...... Are you the first snow? ”

"At the beginning of the day, my family fell, and I was sold into Murong Mansion to survive, I thought I would never see you again, how did you change your appearance and identity now?"

"The matter...... It's a long story, but nowadays...... You're already a little master, and I haven't congratulated you yet. ”

Chu Xue's tears fell down, "How do you know how difficult it has been for me all these years, how do you know how bitter I have been in this deep palace all day, and how do you know how much I want to see you again." ”

As he was talking, there was a sound outside, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
