The dawn had just dawned, the dawn lifted the light veil of the night, the crystal clear dew covered the branches and leaves, and the early larks sang high in the half-light and half-dark clouds.

Jiang Qing ended yesterday's holiday, he came to the palace neatly dressed, and the eunuch who kept vigil yesterday told him that the emperor slept in the study yesterday, so he walked outside the study, knocked on the door, raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." ”

She didn't hear Jiang Qing's call because of lack of sleep, and she still fell asleep.

Jiang Qing, who did not get a response, had no choice but to raise his voice again, and his voice became louder and louder. Shu Xingying in the room finally heard it, but she didn't mean to get up, she was not awake and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't go to court today." The whole person was buried in the mattress and fell asleep again.

Huangfu Duzhe, who had just rested for a while last night, stood at the gate of the Heart Cultivation Hall and heard their conversation, and did not go to the study to wake Shu Xingying up, but told Jiang Qing that she was unwell because of the infection last night and asked him to inform him this morning, and when Shu Xingying woke up, he went to the Tai Hospital to dispense medicine and bring it up.

Jiang Qing thanked him and walked to the court, informing the courtiers who came one by one that Shu Xingying was not in good health today and was not suitable for the court.

Zhongcui Palace.

Qiao Wanyu, who was waiting for Shu Xingying's arrival in the palace, was already a little anxious and worried, and today was the third day. When she came back from the Heart Cultivation Palace, she would dress herself more carefully every day, for fear that Shu Xingying would suddenly come and see herself who was not the most beautiful.

Qiao Wanyu ordered the slave to bathe herself with the petals picked at dawn and dusk as she did two days ago, and after bathing, she was dressed by the maidservant, and then she came to the dresser, Zhiyu combed her hair, looked at Qiao Wanyu in the mirror and praised: "Niangniang is really more and more beautiful and moving." ”

Qiao Wanxin looked at her bewitching face in the mirror, and sighed: "So what, the emperor is not uninterested in this palace." ”

Zhiyu has been by Qiao Wanxin's side since she was a child, and she is also her dowry maid, she knows that her master has been happy with Huangfu Duzhe for ten years, and she feels sorry for her who has been in love, and comforted: "Niangniang, the emperor must be busy with official business and has not had time to visit Niangniang, and when the emperor is busy, he will come to visit Niangniang immediately." ”

"Hongu is not stupid." Qiao Wan's heart was worried.

At this time, a maid hurriedly walked from outside and called, "Niangniang." ”

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Zhiyu looked panicked, and reprimanded: "How can Chun Tao be so abrupt, what if she surprises Niangniang!" ”

Chun Tao immediately knelt on the ground, "Chun Tao is at fault, please forgive your sins." ”

"Tell me what's going on." Qiao Wanyu said. Spring peach is the eyeliner she placed in the Imperial Palace, so that she can understand if there is any unknown concubine who goes to the emperor to offer flattery.

"Yu Niangniang, the child that the emperor brought back yesterday is a woman." Chun Tao said.

Qiao Wanxin heard Chun Tao say yesterday that the child Shu Xingying brought yesterday was the son of the emperor's engong, so she didn't take it to heart, but she was anxious when she heard Chun Tao say this.

She turned around and asked, "What the hell is going on, explain it to Hongu." ”

Chun Tao hurriedly explained, "Yesterday evening, the emperor personally went to the dressing room to pick out clothes for her, and as soon as he arrived at the palace, the emperor hugged the clothes in his arms, and then I found an opportunity to ask the eunuch who went with the emperor to know that it was women's clothes, and this morning I immediately rushed to tell the mother while no one was paying attention." ”

"Then you might guess what the girl's age is?" Qiao Wan asked hurriedly.

Chun Tao thought about it for a while, and said, "It should be the year of Jilu."

Although he was a nine-year-old child at this time, he was tall, and if he were considered a girl, he would be mistaken for fifteen years old.

The news told by Chun Tao made Qiao Wan panic and angry, and learned that Shu Xingying brought a woman, and personally went to the Shangyi room to find clothes for her, and the girl was about to become an adult, she was even more panicked, in case Huangfu Duzhe not only repaid her father's kindness to her, but it was nothing to give her a princess, so she was afraid of making her a concubine, after all, she had never seen him so attentive to a woman after marrying Huangfu Duzhe for five years.

She looked at Chun Tao, who came to report the bad news, and felt angry, and scolded loudly: "Get out, get out of the palace!" ”

Chun Tao was so frightened that she crawled out of Zhong Cui Palace.

Zhiyu stroked Qiao Wanyu's back and comforted: "Niang Niang, how can the emperor really care about a stinky child, the emperor is just to repay her father's kindness, she is just taking the opportunity to follow the light." ”

Qiao Wanxin felt that something was wrong no matter what she thought, and she couldn't rest assured, she asked Zhiyu to dress herself up and go to the Imperial Palace to find out the truth in person.

The bright spring sun shone on Shu Xingying's face through the window, facing the golden dazzling light Shu Xingying covered her eyes with one hand, slowly opened her eyes, stretched lazily, and was ready to get up to negotiate with Huangfu Duzhe, she was a grudge.

She came outside the room wearing a white robe, and when Father-in-law Jiang saw it, he immediately called someone to change her clothes, so as not to aggravate the wind and cold.

Dressed neatly and after washing, she walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, and saw that the person she was looking for was writing.

Shu Xingying clasped her hands in her arms, swaggered to the table, slapped her palm on the rice paper that Huangfu Duzhe was writing, and said arrogantly: "Little brat, I have something to talk to you about, whether you want to or not, I can't say no." ”

"Say." Huangfu Duzhe put down the brush in his hand.

Shu Xingying immediately brought a chair from one side and put it on the other side of the table to sit down, just facing the emperor Fu Duzhe, and said, "For what you did yesterday, you should apologize to me first." ”

Huangfu Duzhe didn't feel anything wrong, and said, "That's right, why apologize. ”

Shu Xingying's eyes were as big as copper bells, and she said in disbelief: "You peeped at my pee, shouldn't you apologize for doing such a lack of morality?" ”

"I didn't mean to snoop, I just didn't understand why you woke up in the middle of the night and walked inside, so I went to find out. And I've already done this to my body, so why can't I see it. "Huangfu Duzhe is full of words, without the slightest sense of guilt.

Shu Xingying only felt that her three views had been refreshed, and sure enough, playing the piano to Niu was farting to herself, and it was she who was smoked to death.

She felt that Huangfu Duzhe was simply unreasonable, gave up communicating with him, picked out the purpose, and said: "One mountain does not allow two tigers, you go or I go, choose." ”
