". Mother's thing, how dare the slave admit it? Zhilan continued to kowtow: "Niang Niang spare her life!" Mother's life! ”

"Even if you didn't mean to, just because you almost hurt Concubine Hui today, you will never be able to keep you in Zhongxiu Palace." Su Wenmei looked at Zhilan and then at Qian Hui, waiting for her to deal with it.

"What my sister said is exactly what Hongu thinks. Once upon a time, this palace saw that you were bullied in the Siyiku, and took pity on you and took you in. Today, you took away the private belongings that your sister gave me privately, causing this palace to suffer a lot of humiliation in Fangyi Palace. Zhong Xiugong can't keep you, so you can go back to the Siyi Vault by yourself. ”

Qian Hui usually treats people kindly, and his words and deeds all reveal the gentleness of the atmosphere. At this moment, he started to lose his temper, but he didn't give up, and a few palace people who were waiting on the side saw it, and they also felt that they had underestimated this concubine on weekdays.

Zhilan has always been a person who worships high and low, and in the past, she used to pretend to be pitiful in front of Qian Hui to win Qian Hui's sympathy. So when everyone saw that she was punished and kicked out of Zhongxiu Palace, they all secretly scolded her for deserving it, and no one interceded for her.

At first, Zhilan refused to leave, and kept begging for mercy in Zhongxiu Palace, but then she really couldn't do it, so she called the two eunuchs of Zhongxiu Palace and escorted Zhilan back to the Siyi Library.

Qian Hui still has finger prints on her face. Su Wenmei personally took the medicine, gave her the medicine, and sat with her for a while before coming out of Zhongxiu Palace and walking in the direction of Mingyang Palace.

The sun was shining along the way, and Su Wenmei and Ruxia walked together, enjoying the scenery in the palace. When passing by the Imperial Garden, Su Wenmei was admiring the koi fish in the koi pond, but Ruxia saw Sun Xiao who was escorted by.

"Niangniang, look, is that a concubine?" Ruxia pointed to the prisoner who was being escorted by two guards. Sun Xiao was dressed in prison clothes at the moment, her hair was messy, and she was covered in blood. It looks like he has been tortured, and it is difficult to recognize the original beautiful face.

Ruxia was not sure: "Niangniang, is it her?" ”

Su Wenmei looked sideways and faced Sun Yuan's unwilling eyes. Sun Miao stared at her, refusing to look away for a long time, as if she wanted to see her through.

Su Wenmei, I really hate it, you don't do anything, but you have everything; And I, I used all my strength, but I could only end up with the fate of old age and cold palace.

I envy you so much, I envy you that you are always as cold as the wind and as tranquil as a cloud, but you can make the supreme king mad for you. I envy you to the point of jealousy, and I am jealous of you to the point of madness.

But now, after all, there is nothing, not even a chance, there is no chance.

Cold Palace.

This is a courtyard that is extremely remote from the main hall and the palaces. Even though the sun was shining today, as soon as Sun Ma was thrown into the yard, she also felt a chill that penetrated her bone marrow.

The plaque on the gate had been painted and broken in half, and it was impossible to make out the words on it. The yard was overgrown with weeds, surrounded by messy straw and broken chairs. Not far away, on the crooked-necked tree, there was an old rope hanging from it.

As soon as the two guards threw her inside, they closed the door and left.

This is the cold palace of the previous dynasty, and it is said that many concubines once committed suicide here. Those who were demoted here were extremely disgusted by the ruling monarch.

Legend has it that in the past, the people who came here died madly and madly. In the end, the emperor died, and all the people here were executed and dragged to a mass grave for burial.

Sun Mi endured the uneasiness in her heart, and walked in step by step, the more she went inside, the cooler her heart became.

She looked around, slowly walked to the front of the house, and pushed open the door to one of the rooms. The door was in disrepair for a long time, and the door was broken on one side, and she pushed it, "squeak", breaking the original tranquility.

There are also some relics of the concubines of the previous dynasty. On the side of a bed messily covered with straw, there is a pair of red gold-inlaid embroidered shoes, think about it, which concubine was favored by the emperor.

At this moment, the dappled sunlight shone in through the lattice window, and the tattered gauze tent in the room swayed, brushing back and forth the pair of embroidered shoes, which looked extremely penetrating.

"Ahh Her clothes were covered in mud and she had new wounds on her body. She banged on the courtyard door of the cold palace, only to find that the courtyard door was locked from the outside.

"Help! Help me! She shouted desperately, but no one heard. Or rather, no one dared to pay attention to her.

Sun Mi tried her best, but in vain, she leaned against the door, slowly slid down, and fell to the ground. In the future, for a long time, I am afraid that she will be in this cold and ruthless cold palace, and she will die like this.

Su Wenmei and Ruxia met Sun Yuan in the koi pond, and when they saw her embarrassed appearance, they lost their interest in appreciating fish, so they simply returned to Mingyang Palace. At this time, Cheng Qian got off the court and was sitting in Mingyang Palace drinking tea.

When Su Wenmei came in, she saw Cheng Qian writing a gold post, and she was curious: "Your Majesty, what is this?" ”

"It's the list of banquets that you need to invite when you are a concubine. Look at it, is there anything missing? Cheng Qian spread the post in front of Su Wenmei, and she was a little stunned.

"Your Majesty, why did it come so suddenly." Su Wenmei's eyes swept the list on the post, in addition to the queen mother, the prince and other royal relatives, there were also people from the Zhongwu Hou family. So, when the time comes, she will be able to see her grandmother?

Cheng Qian flicked her forehead lightly with his knuckles: "You don't know your birthday, it must have passed with the birthday of the little daughter of the Su family." Besides, the birthday is sealed, and the joy is even greater. ”

"Your Majesty's ......" Su Wenmei was a little moved, she wanted to tell him at the moment that Mrs. Su was her own grandmother.

But no. The last time he escaped from the palace, he was punished a lot, if he revealed his life experience and inventory, he would have an estrangement with the emperor in the future, in case he affected his grandmother and brother......

Besides, after all, Cheng Qian is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, if he recognizes the Su family, Su Jinnian will inevitably be too eye-catching in the court, and the open and secret battles in the court are naturally indispensable. Su Jinnian has always been wise to protect himself, so for the time being, let's hide it first.

"Your Majesty." Su Wenmei's words changed: "You are really good to your concubines." ”

Cheng Qian's eyes narrowed into a slit, he enjoyed her affectionate appearance very much, like an intimate kitten.

......

After many days of busy work in the palace, a grand birthday banquet began.

On the second day of the sixth lunar month, Su Wenmei had just gotten up and told Ruxia to prepare to wash.

Ruxia and Bing'er led the four eunuchs to carry a bottle of cranes carved from Hetian jade and placed them in the dormitory of Mingyang Palace. Ruxia uncovered the red cloth on the white jade carving with one hand: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, this is the emperor himself simulated, and hundreds of craftsmen from the Ministry of Rites and Rites are made, Niangniang still likes it?" ”

It was also the first time for the people of the palace to see this Hetian white jade carving, and they couldn't help but marvel. The base of the crane is green, and the crane and auspicious clouds are snow-white, clean and translucent, without a trace of impurities.

The jade carved crane is lifelike, standing on one leg, looking up and singing. There are many auspicious clouds around the wings, which really opened everyone's eyes.

"Bing'er." Su Wenmei's gaze stayed on Bing'er, she stepped forward and grabbed Bing'er's hand: "Are your injuries all healed?" ”

Bing'er nodded: "Yes, mother." The slave and maid are all right. ”

As early as a few days ago, Bing'er offered to serve by Su Wenmei's side, and Su Wenmei saw that her injuries were not yet complete, so she asked her to recuperate for a while. Seeing that Bing'er looked better today, I also relieved my heart and gave permission.

Su Wenmei held her hand with satisfaction, in her heart, Bing'er was her friend. Last time, she was tortured by Bing'er, and she felt a little sorry not to go. Now that Penang is better, she is happy.

"Niangniang, when the emperor left early in the morning, he said that Niangniang didn't need to go to Fangyi Palace to ask for peace today, and she should prepare for the birthday banquet in the palace. Today is a good day for the mother to celebrate the birth of the concubine, and the slaves and maids are also happy. As soon as Ruxia's words came out, all the palace maids burst into laughter.

After grooming according to the ancestral system and holding a sealing ceremony, it was already close to noon. Su Wenmei returned to Mingyang Palace, and each palace sent gifts one after another. In addition to the palace, there are also princes you don't know who also gave gifts.

The county lord of Showa was the first to come, she entered Mingyang Palace in men's clothes, and raised her eyebrows at Su Wenmei, who was standing outside the hall: "Beauty."

The royal genes are good, Showa is not bad, and a men's dress makes her tall and chic. If she hadn't seen her outside the Qianzheng Hall before, she would have really thought that she was a prodigal prince.

"County Lord." Su Wenmei smiled lightly at Showa and said, "Don't come unharmed." ”

Showa felt a little bored, and she approached: "I heard that you beat my unsuccessful seventh brother down?" The lord of this county didn't know that a beauty like you would fight. ”

Showa said, holding the fan he was carrying, and going to pick her chin like he did last time. Su Wenmei stretched out her hand to block it, but Showa took the initiative to attack and made a move with Su Wenmei.

Ruxia, who was holding a plate of crystal dumplings, passed by, and was so frightened that the plate in her hand almost fell to the ground. When everyone saw Showa and Concubine Wen fighting, they also thought that Showa was here to find fault, so they messed up: "Quick, go and report to the emperor!" ”

Lord Showa likes to practice martial arts, and he practices with his martial arts master every day. Su Wenmei only learned a few tricks when she was in the drama class. It's okay to deal with a gentleman like Cheng Ye who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, but Showa, she obviously can't beat it.

However, with three moves and two styles, Su Wenmei was defeated. Her strength was not comparable to that of Showa, and she was almost hit to the ground by one of her bullets. When Showa saw it, he was going to pull her.

Cheng Qian, who rushed to hear the news, quickly caught her and turned his head to look at Showa: "Showa, Hugh is messing around." ”

Showa pursed his lips: "I saw that your concubine was likable, and I couldn't help but want to have a good time with her." Brother Huang, you're too protective of food, aren't you? ”

Su Wenmei smiled: "The county lord is really temperamental, and Wen Mei likes it very much." It's just that I'm not good at martial arts, so I'm afraid I won't be able to beat the county lord. ”

Su Wenmei behaved decently, but her bones seemed to reveal a faint and alienated atmosphere. Showa is as enthusiastic as fire, but he feels that the woman in front of him can't help but want to get closer.
