For several nights, I successfully sneaked into Jingyang Palace to meet Zeng Ke. It's just that I found that the time he was awake was getting shorter and shorter, and every time he didn't say anything for long, he would involuntarily fall asleep.

That night, I went to his bedchamber as usual. He snorted as always. "Zeng Ke, wake up." I looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, so I stepped forward and gently shook him awake.

He woke up, but he just looked at me fixedly, looking very dazed. I was a little anxious, and while shaking him harder, I asked, "What's the matter, are you getting less and less awake?" ”

His face was slightly stunned, as if he was a little angry, but his unhappy look was fleeting. With a playful look on his face, he said softly, "You're here." ”

I didn't look at him closely, just smiled faintly and pulled a hand out from behind my back.

"I've got something good, you see!" I spread my palms.

I had a clay xylophone in my hand. It took me a few hours during the day to make it.

"Here's for you." I handed him the clay xylophone.

He picked up the xylophone gently, and did not speak.

"Don't like it?" I frowned.

The person in front of him unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the angelic-pure person in front of him.

Dawn breaks. When a ray of morning glow shone into the dark palace, I opened my eyes.

"Woke up?" The palace maid's loud voice resounded throughout Jingyang Palace.

I found myself lying on the big bed of the vermilion lacquer dragon carving, and I was terrified and jumped to the ground. Where is this? What is the situation?

I fixed my eyes and looked around again, isn't this Jingyang Palace, how could I be here?

I patted my head, by the way, I talked to Zeng Ke late last night, and I forgot when he fell asleep. But why did I fall asleep right here? You know, during the day, Zeng Ke is going to change back into Xuanyuan, then something big is going to happen!

I hurriedly put on my shoes and hurried to the gate.

When I pushed the door open, my eyes were going to fall off.

I saw twenty or thirty palace maids and eunuchs kneeling at the door. When he saw me come out, he got up and shouted, "Niangniang." Startled, I subconsciously retreated into the room.

As soon as I got back to my room, a voice sounded in my ears: "I asked them to attend to your daily life, are you satisfied?" I'll be with you sooner rather than later. The magnetic voice was in my ears, like a soft whisper.

When he turned around, he was facing Xuanyuan's pair of peach blossom eyes. I clearly saw the pride and sinister smile in his eyes.

"I ...... I ...... "I panicked and stammered."

"You wait to serve the mother. If she is not satisfied, she will be blamed on you! Before I could utter a complete sentence, Xuanyuan strode away with a wicked smile and satisfaction.

Helplessly trapped in Jingyang Palace, no matter where he wanted to go, he had to be followed by more than a dozen people, and it was impossible to meet other people, so it took most of the day.

Unexpectedly, the first person I saw in Jingyang Palace turned out to be Zhuang Yang.

When she stood in front of me and looked at me directly, my heart fluttered.

"Sister, you must not believe the rumors." I saw tears in her eyes, and my heart churned.

"Well, it's okay, as long as my sister is happy." She vigorously wiped away her tears.

"It's not like that, sister." I was speechless for a moment. I don't know how to explain it to her. I'm afraid that the news has already spread throughout the palace. What about Xiao Xuanxuan? Will he be disappointed when he hears it, and my heart suddenly aches.

"Sister, look." In desperation, I rolled up my long sleeves and stretched my arms out in front of her eyes. The crystal clear Shougong sand was displayed in front of her intact.

This Xuanyuan is still a gentleman. When I found out that I had not lost my body, I felt a little admiration for Xuanyuan in my heart.

An incredible look flashed in Zhuang Yang's eyes.

"Really, I didn't lie to you." I looked at her with sincere eyes.

"But what's the matter, the person he likes is you, not me." Zhuang Yang's face was filled with sadness again, but there was more gratitude in his eyes.

I felt a little blocked in my heart. She helped me in the most difficult times, but I only caused trouble for their siblings. I swore to myself that if I had the chance, I would do what I wanted to do with her.

As soon as Zhuang Yang was sent away, the palace maid came to report: "Niangniang, Queen Rong has arrived." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Queen Rong coming over. I looked over and saw that today she combed a courtyard on her head, with a golden wishful hairpin inserted in it, and the phoenix hairpin on the sideburns was red and gorgeous, reminding everyone all the time that she was the master of this harem.

She dismissed all the palace maids, approached me, and pretended to be kind and said: "Sister, your choice is right, now that you and I have become sisters, I will take care of you." ”

I frowned and said, "The queen doesn't have to worry, I won't occupy the emperor." ”

She was slightly stunned and said, "As long as my sister is quiet and doesn't cause too much trouble, she will enjoy endless glory and wealth." ”

I sighed softly helplessly: "The queen is too worried, I will definitely be quiet, and nothing will happen." The queen is still busy with the affairs of the harem. ”

"This is my gift to my sister." She picked up a brocade box on the table and opened it gently. In the box lay a silver phoenix hairpin.

It's rare for her to look up to me. I picked up the hairpin, looked at it, put it back in, and closed the box.

I didn't want to have any more friction with her, so I said, "Thank you, Queen." ”

The queen is finally gone. Everyone was finally kicked out by me. I stood alone in front of the window, looking out of the window, for a while I had mixed feelings, a burst of sadness in my heart, and tears could not be suppressed. Bean-sized tears rolled down the jasmine on the windowsill one by one, and then gently slid down the white petals.

The light and shadow of the twinkling stars in the night sky faded slightly, and in the small pavilion of the imperial garden, three black shadows stood quietly.

"Queen Mother, Qianqian has already chosen to stay in the child's Jingyang Palace, I don't think I need to wait until after my birthday. Tomorrow I want to canonize her and give her a name. This is Regulus's voice.

"No, Queen Mother, on that day, you personally instructed her to let her choose for herself after the emperor's birthday. I won't believe the rumors until I hear her say it herself. It was Xuan Li's voice that immediately retorted.

The moonlight sprinkled on Empress Dowager Li's cloud-like sideburns, reflecting the extraordinarily bright light on her still gorgeous face. Looking at the two brothers kissing in front of her, she sighed, and then raised her head and said, "Since my words have been spoken, naturally I will not take them back, I hope you two will abide by them." Otherwise, I would rather destroy her with my own hands, lest you cause a dispute. Empress Dowager Li's eyes became firm.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan's body trembled, he looked away, and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is angry, and the child will arrange to send her back as soon as possible." ”

Xuan Li seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, and he was a little relieved. Since this is the case, it means that the imperial brother does not fully grasp the situation. Empress Dowager Li was originally a kind person, and she would never say such cruel words unless she had to. It's just that woman, who obviously hates being restricted in her freedom the most, why did she go to Jingyang Palace to throw herself into the net, and stay overnight, causing an uproar?

I was in a daze by the window, but I heard a palace maid push the door in and report: "Girl, the Queen Mother has a decree to send her mother back." ”

"Really?" I lifted my sleeves, quietly wiped away the tears from my eyes, and laughed uncontrollably. The palace maid was startled, looked a little worried, and looked at me in a daze.

When Xuanyuan and the queen came, I had already walked out of the door with the palace maid.

He saw me happily walking out of the door with the maid who had come to pick me up, and sighed in his heart, "Why doesn't she understand my painstaking efforts? If he had known this, he should have kept doing it last night and ...... her", thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden evil fire in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Queen Rong on the side saw that something was wrong with Xuanyuan, pulled his sleeves, and called him in a low voice.

Xuanyuan was reminded by the queen and came to his senses, so he had to suppress his anger and look angry.

Empress Rong picked up the silver phoenix hairpin that I left behind, and thought for a while before smiling at Xuanyuan: "The emperor can rest assured, she will definitely return to the emperor's side." ”
