After three rounds of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, everyone had a hazy drunkenness.

Ruan Er glanced at the position behind him, and didn't see Concubine Liao, so he said to Huan Pei on the side: "You go to the girl next to Queen Yuming, and say that Zizhou is going to sleep at this time, so let's go back first." ”

"It's a sissy." Huan Pei hurriedly went to Bingling's side, said this, and then turned back to accompany Concubine Ying to leave.

At this time, Cang Lian was still looking forward to having the opportunity to sleep, so she was reluctant to leave early. She just wants to spend it to the end and see how the emperor speaks. A pair of eyes, looking at the emperor blankly, can't he feel her heart?

"Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubines are too strong to drink, and they want to go back to the palace first." Lei Zhen was very knowledgeable, got up and saluted the emperor and queen: "Don't disturb the emperor's Yaxing." ”

"It's fine." Zhuang Chenchen bowed slightly.

Lei Zhen smiled lightly, and naturally walked to Cang Lian's side: "The concubine seems to have drunk a lot, and her cheeks are crimson, which is very good-looking." ”

Cang Lian didn't pay attention to her, but just picked up the wine glass and was about to put it in her mouth.

"Oh, Concubine Rongxiang, you still have injuries on your body. How can you drink it again. Lei Zhen grabbed her wrist and tried hard to stop her from drinking. Your Majesty, the concubine was also overjoyed and drank a lot. It's better to let the concubine send her back to the palace. As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed her arm.

was caught off guard by her and pulled up like this, and Cang Lian's heart was not happy. "The palace is not drunk, and the palace has to accompany the emperor to drink a few more glasses. If you want to go, you can go. ”

"Drink it another day." Zhuang Chen's eyes were a little tired: "Just let Concubine Gong send you back." ”

"Your Majesty......" Cang Lian wanted to say something, but Lei Zhen suddenly pulled her whole person into her arms.

"Ah, concubine, you can't stand still. Don't be reckless, the concubine will send you back to the palace. Lei Zhen leaned close to her ear and whispered: "If you don't leave, if the emperor is displeased, it will be a loss of your own face." ”

Cang Lian was speechless by her, so she could only endure her anger and leave the main hall of Fengling Hall with her.

Cen Muning only asked at this time: "Isn't the emperor going to accompany Concubine Rongxiang?" She was looking forward to the emperor. ”

"I'm not going anywhere." Zhuang Chenchen reached out and held her hand: "Are you willing to let me go?" ”

"The whole world belongs to the emperor, where the emperor wants to go, of course, he doesn't have to ask the opinions of his concubines." Cen Muning got up and saluted him: "The concubine is not strong enough to drink, so she has to go and change her clothes first." ”

Zhuang Yanchen only felt that she was too lubricated, like a piece of jade that could not be held. "I'll go with you."

The emperor and queen are leaving, and there is no point in this.

Yang Yunbi got up with Su Duo's hand, led the concubines to see each other off, and then turned to say: "Let's all disperse today." ”

Zhou Meiren and Xu Meiren glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but be disappointed. One look forward to it is four months. From autumn to winter, I finally looked forward to the emperor's return, but after all, I couldn't say a few words. The two hurriedly left the Fengling Hall with Concubine Min.

Before he could go far, the palace gate of the Fengling Hall was closed.

That voice pierced the silence of the night, and many people listened to it.

"The emperor is tired." Cen Mu Ning looked at his misty eyes and knew that he was drunk. "The concubine asked someone to boil you sobering soup, is it okay to drink it and then fall asleep? Otherwise, I will feel an unbearable headache tomorrow morning. ”

"You don't like me to pamper Cang Lian?" Zhuang Chenchen asked bluntly through drunkenness.

"The concubines naturally look forward to the emperor, and there is only one concubine in his heart." Cen Mu touched his face with a smile. I probably haven't shaved for a few days, and my hands are a little tingling to the touch.

"I remember that when my father was here, my mother was looking forward to him every day. At that time, I was still very young, and it was always difficult to see my father. Either the imperial study will inspect my studies, or I will have to wait until the festival is a happy day, otherwise, the queen mother will do something wrong and be harshly reprimanded by my father......"

"The emperor remembered the past." Cen Muning took the handkerchief that had been twisted by the green plough and wiped the sweat beads from Zhuang Chenchen's forehead. "The things of the past, whether good or bad, are in the past, and there is no way to change them. The emperor doesn't have to suffer for these things. ”

"The scars on your body have been medicated, and they will gradually fade away, and soon you will no longer see the traces." Zhuang Chenchen stroked her shoulder, frowned, and said, "But those scars in my heart are useless. Sometimes, I really want my father to be there, and I really want to ask him, even if the queen mother hadn't killed me and forced me to kill my blood brother, would I be his favorite prince based on my performance today? Will it be ......"

"Definitely." Cen Mu said solemnly: "The emperor's wisdom, courage, and resourcefulness are unparalleled in the world. The first emperor thought about the society of the country, and naturally he would value you. ”

"It's a pity that you're not the first emperor." Zhuang Chenchen suddenly got up from the bed and threw her down. "If you were the first emperor, I would be a righteous prince. Only you can see my goodness, but my father can't see ......"

With that, he buried his head in her arms and fell asleep.

"Qingli, help me ......" Cen Muning was overwhelmed by him, and she couldn't struggle out. I can only call Qingli to help.

Qingli and her dragged and pushed one by one, and finally turned him over and placed him properly. "This man is drunk, how can he be so heavy. It really doesn't take a little effort. Is the mother okay? ”

"It's fine." Cen Mooning took a few deep breaths before saying, "Burn the silver charcoal to warm up." The emperor drank wine, and it would not be good if he caught a cold. Besides, you come in twice more at night to watch the fire, but you are definitely burned out. ”

"Yes." Qingli nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. What can I do if it's just decanting soup? ”

"Get ready early tomorrow morning, and the emperor will drink it when he wakes up." Cen Muning saw that he was sleeping like a child, and he couldn't bear to wake him up. "Come on, go down."

The door was closed, and she covered him with the quilt. Sometimes I think about it, the women in the palace are really not as down-to-earth as the women of small families. To be able to live with a husband, even if it is poor, even if it is hard, it is better than intrigue all day long, and even to dig out your heart to the person next to your pillow.

Maybe only when this is the case, can you guard him quietly.

Lei Zhen did what she said, and she dragged Cang Lian back to Weiyang Palace like this.

Everything in Weiyang Palace really fascinated her. She walked back and forth in her chamber a few times before she came up to her. "The emperor relies on the queen, and I don't see such luxury in the queen's palace. It seems that the emperor still cherishes the concubine the most. ”

Cang Lian took a sip of hot tea and said unhappily: "You ruined the good things of this palace, just to come to this palace to say these cool words?" Before the palace returned to the palace, your grace was not weak. Peiyu Palace, that is a good place to live not far from Qingxuan Palace. ”

"Don't make fun of the concubine." Lei Zhen stared at her ruddy face, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the concubine to relieve you of the siege, you would still be in a stalemate in the queen's bedroom at this time." Do you really think that if you make meritorious service and save your driver, you can compete with the queen? Didn't the emperor just give you the position of a concubine? ”

"So you're here to see the Hongu joke." Cang Lian pursed her lips, and her tone was full of unhappiness: "Don't think that if you have a friendship with this palace, you can talk nonsense here." What does the affairs of Hongu have to do with you? Allow you to be arrogant here. ”

"Yes." There was a coolness in Lei Zhen's smile: "From Concubine Min Daoying, to any concubine in the harem who can be named, which one is a concubine you haven't offended." That is, the concubine, when you entered the palace, you didn't catch up with the good time. That's why I've never fought against you. Right now, the concubines who are also meritorious concubines, and the concubines feel that they can help the concubines. It's just that the concubine doesn't seem to think so. ”

Cang Lian looked at her quietly, and suddenly asked, "Wasn't you the one who secretly sent the news to the palace at that time?" ”

Lei Zhen didn't do anything to hide it, but she didn't deny it. "Isn't the immediate benefit more important?"

"You are so kind to help this palace, you want to get benefits from this palace." Cang Lian's eyes turned slightly: "Do you want to look at the grace of this palace and climb the branches?" It's a pity that Hongu can't figure it out, why should he be so good to you? ”

"Mutual benefit." Lei Zhen smiled lightly: "The concubine is willing to be a bridge between the concubine and the queen." This is also the emperor's greatest wish at the moment. And what does it matter if the concubine can fly on the branch or not. can be left and right, and the queen mother and the concubine will not treat the concubines badly. ”

"You're quite ambitious." Cang Lian had to look at her more. "I can't bear the benefits given by the queen, and I want to get benefits from this palace. How can you think so highly of yourself? ”

"Niangniang, whether the concubine can do it or not, you also know it in your heart." Lei Zhen sighed: "Actually, you, me, and the newly sealed concubine are the same. By the way, and Concubine Ying, aren't we all trained by the Queen Mother? Although the queen mother's wrist is powerful, the women who can be adjusted are also similar. So much so that sooner or later, the emperor will get tired of us. The only difference between the concubines is that they used to be slaves and maids by the side of the Queen Mother. Over the years, I have finally learned some skills that you have never seen. It is your decision whether or not to have a concubine in the shade of your tree. But the concubine also had to say more, after this village, there will be no such shop, you have to think clearly. ”

"Hongu hates being threatened the most." Cang Lian's face was cold, and she looked at her unhappily.

"Concubines never feel that a few words can be a threat." Lei Zhen was not afraid of her thin anger, and saluted her with her eyes.

"Okay." Cang Lian Rao smiled: "Tomorrow, the emperor will inevitably come to the palace to accompany him." If you have invited the emperor to go to the Peiyu Palace in advance and cross the palace, you will be qualified to sit down and negotiate with the palace. ”

Lei Zhen nodded with a spring breeze on her face: "A word is a certainty." ”
