As soon as Hua Jieyu walked out of the palace gate of Yongning Palace, He Jiayu commanded with a gloomy face: "You are secretly asking people to keep an eye on Hua Jieyu for the palace, to see who she is in contact with, what to say and do, this palace wants to see, what does she want to do?" Also, check the palace, who has recently become pregnant, but has been hiding it from others. โ
He Jiayu is impulsive and reckless in front of people, just to give people an illusion, she has no scheming.
Hua Jieyu deliberately came here to lead her words, she knew very well in her heart that Hua Jieyu just wanted to use the mouth of Yongning Palace to spread the words that Hu Shanxiang intended to kill Sun Qingyang's mother and son.
The reason why she didn't believe Hua Jieyu's words was because she had persuaded Hu Shanxiang to strike first, but they were not adopted, Hu Shanxiang didn't do it at that time, how could he be ruthless now?
Soon, He Jiayu got a reply.
Concubine Zhao Xian of Changchun Palace, the monthly letter has not arrived for seven days, and Shen Meiren, who was newly admitted to the palace last year, has been pregnant for more than a month.
After the palace maid Wanluo said this, she stopped talking.
He Jiayu glanced at her, "Don't talk nonsense, what else did you find?" โ
"The slave maid found out that there was a concubine in the case of the Internal Affairs Office, but all the things were transported outside the palace, and the slave and maid wanted to inquire carefully, but the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office told the slave and maid to be nosy."
He Jiayu listened and pondered for a moment, "Don't worry about this matter, Wang Jin, the emperor's big chamberlain, on weekdays, we have stuffed him with a lot of things, and we haven't bothered him much, this good steel is used on the blade, I'm afraid I have to use him." โ
Wan Luo worried: "That prince is very slippery, although he accepted our things, everything that can be done is allowed by the emperor, if he goes against the will of the emperor, I'm afraid it won't work." โ
He Jiayu tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Who wants him to go against his will?" This palace is just looking for him to inquire about something. No, just bring a message to Wang An's father-in-law. Although he has returned to his hometown now, most of his apprentices and grandchildren are on errands in the palace, and the palace remembers that it is Wang Jin, or his godson, the palace does not believe it, and he will shirk it. โ
Wan Luo wanted to say something, but the morning warbler standing next to her said: "Sister Wan Luo, that Wang An's father-in-law has an extraordinary friendship with the boss, and he has to love him since he was young, not to mention letting me help inquire about the news, even if I want more, he will not allow it." Again, the eldest of our family has been in Jinyi Wei for many years, and it is not easy to find someone to come out, so don't worry. โ
Wanluo ignored Chenying and said to He Jiayu: "With Wang An's father-in-law coming forward, the slave maid is not worried that Wang Jin's father-in-law will not tell the truth - she is afraid that since the emperor is covering up that matter, if the mother finds out, the emperor will be unhappy." โ
He Jiayu thought for a moment, and nodded approvingly, "That's right, you think about it very thoroughly, no matter what the result is, take care of your mouth." There is a concubine's degree, but it is all transported outside the palace, and the palace looks at it, eighty percent of the emperor has someone outside, but why hide it like this? โ
A look of anger appeared on her face, "Hmph, I don't know where the cheap maid came from, and she still uses the concubine to worship?" In a blink of an eye, he smiled again, "If the queen mother knows about this news, I don't know what it will be?" โ

The moon is like practice. On the Taiye Pool, two boats shaped like wild geese, the bow of the ship carved with a dragon head is parked on it, and the four corners are hung with palace lanterns made of big red silk, which are reflected on the side of the ship with carved gold, illuminating the entire water surface clearly shaking.
Standing on the shore, you can vaguely hear the delicate and euphemistic, soft and pure sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside, which is noisy like a pearl rolling down a silver plate, mixed with the mellow and melodious singing of women, swirling on the surface of the water, making the air of the summer night seem to be light and bright.
In the boat, the singing is singing, the piano music is playing, the red silk is dancing with a soft waist and limbs, the spinning and weaving neon clothes and flowers are on the face, and the warm powder and jade fat are drunk with agarwood, which is a beautiful color.
In the corner, in the purple jade incense burner where Shuanglong spits pearls, it spits fragrant incense, with a faint smell of sandalwood.
The queen is not as dignified as usual, at this moment, she leaned lightly on the chair as if she was overwhelmed, her eyes were slightly closed, and a light smile floated on her lips, if there was nothing. It's not like wearing a phoenix robe on weekdays, only wearing a pure white fox fur, Qingsi used a peony flower to pull up half of it, and the rest was draped on her shoulders.
Even if Hua Jieyu is a woman, she feels that she seems to have thousands of styles between her eyebrows and eyes, and she looks more and more qualified under light makeup and plain clothes, like a fairy.
She opened her mouth to speak, but saw that the queen only looked at the girls who were singing and dancing lightly, as if she was intoxicated.
Although these girls are light as if they want to fly, every step is happy, and they are extremely graceful, but in Hua Jieyu's eyes, they still feel a little insufficient.
Sun Qingyang looked at her expression and asked with a smile: "Hua Jieyu, you said, this palace will dedicate this dance to the emperor at the Mid-Autumn Festival, will the emperor like it very much?" โ
Hua Jieyu never understood why the queen suddenly invited her to visit the lake on this moonlit night, and at this time, when she came back to her senses, it turned out that the queen asked her to order these maiko, as the first person in the palace to dance, there is indeed no one more suitable to do this than her.
Without waiting for her to speak, Concubine Shu, who was sitting next to the queen, suddenly smiled, and with this smile, Hua Jieyu only felt that her bright big eyes were shining like pearls on trees, as if the stars in the world could not open their eyes.
Hua Jieyu felt a little strange, on weekdays, although she felt that Concubine Shu was good-looking, but in this palace where the beauty was like clouds, she was not very outstanding, why was her smile so bright tonight?
She glanced at the incense in the corner, and it seemed that everything in front of her was a little trance-like.
Some insignificant ideas are being amplified.
Liu Wei looked at Hua Jieyu, who was rubbing her eyebrows and was a little confused, and said with a smile: "The queen still don't ask Hua Jieyu, her dancing skills are unparalleled in the world, but I am afraid that no one in this palace can compare with her, no matter how well the girls in these music workshops dance, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter her eyes, if the mother asks Hua Jieyu to dance a song for them, let these people understand on their own, or if they have a high heart, they don't know if they can learn a thing or two." The emperor likes Hua Jieyu's dance so much, how can she impress the emperor if she has trained her. โ
"Concubine Shu's proposal is very good, but I don't know Hua Jieyu, are you willing to dance for this palace?" Seeing that Hua Jieyu was silent and did not answer, Sun Qingyang smiled again: "Or in this palace, only the emperor can make you dance?" โ
Hua Jieyu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it's just that the concubine is wearing it today, and it's not suitable for dancing." โ
Liu Wei clapped his hands, "What's so difficult about this." She pointed to a girl below who looked similar to Hua Jieyu, "Accompany Jieyu Niangniang down and take a set of your dance clothes for Niangniang to wear." โ
At this point, Hua Jieyu knew that she couldn't escape, so she had to answer and go down with the girl to change clothes.
When she stepped on the clogs, tied Jin Ling at the ankles, and walked over with a clang, Sun Qingyang and Liu Wei praised: "No wonder the emperor likes it, this hasn't danced yet, and the palace feels drunk when it looks at it." โ
Liu Wei also smiled and nodded, "Not to mention anything else, just that waist, soft and slender, I'm afraid that in this palace, no one can compare." โ
The neon clothes and hairpins are light, and the socks are dancing in a dazzling ...... Hua Jieyu tapped her toes lightly, spun sharply in the painting boat, her slender arms danced like vines, and the golden dance clothes on her body seemed to be blown by the wind, and it seemed to be a sparkling wave under the moonlight, which was even more dazzling than the lights.
Before the dance stopped, Sun Qingyang and Liu Wei couldn't help but laugh with their palms, and even said that they were good.
It's a pity that Sister Zhao is unwell and can't come to see Hua Jieyu's amazing dance.
Hua Jieyu, who was spinning and dancing, heard the mention of Zhao Yaoying, and somehow her steps slowed down, just hesitating for a moment, and then throwing her sleeves and turning sharply, and then closing the momentum, as if that moment was just a dragonfly's rest.
Sun Qingyang beckoned her forward, "Come here, come to the palace, see that your sweat is out, drink a glass of wine to relieve your fatigue." โ
Liu Wei had already turned sideways to take the wine cup on the table, and Yin Yin raised his glass to hand it to Hua Jieyu.
Hua Jieyu got up and wanted to take the cup, but the wine cup in Liu Wei's hand was knocked down by her, and a glass of wine was spilled on Sun Qingyang.
Hua Jieyu's heart sank, she hadn't touched the wine cup at all, it was obvious that Concubine Shu deliberately took it off, but the slightest difference, no matter who it seems, she touched it.
She looked up at Sun Qingyang in trepidation.
Sun Qingyang just lowered his eyes to look at the placket of his clothes stained with wine, and then raised his head and glanced at Hua Jieyu lightly, although there was no smile on his face, there was no anger in his eyes.
"How can you be so careless? Last time, Hua Jieyu was in the Kunning Palace of the palace, and knocked over the tea cup, this time, she fell into the wine cup, Hua Jieyu and the palace, are they clashes, what kind of wine in the palace, can't you drink it? โ
While speaking, Yan Zhi had already helped Sun Qingyang relieve the white fox fur, and the frost branch and others standing next to her changed her into a fiery red fox fur in a blink of an eye.
Her face was as bright as jade, but when she looked closely, she could see the abnormal paleness.
Hua Jieyu, who had been stunned there, hurriedly knelt down in panic and opened her mouth to plead for mercy, "Xu is concubine just finished dancing, and her strength is not enough, so she knocked over the wine cup handed over by the concubine, the concubine should die, and begged the queen for forgiveness." โ
I heard the queen's cold voice without a trace of warmth: "It's really a disappointment, drag it out and throw it into the lake." โ
Hua Jieyu was shocked and even called for mercy, but Shuangzhi had already recruited the waiter who was standing outside to come in and escort her, no matter how she shouted and struggled, she just dragged her hands and feet outward.
is like treating a palace maid who has committed a crime, and she did not hesitate for a moment because she was Jieyu.
Just as she was about to be dragged out of the cabin, Hua Jieyu turned her head suddenly, the hairpin on her head had already been thrown off, and her black hair was scattered and draped on her face with fading fat powder, she shouted: "The concubine is Jieyu who is the emperor's own seal, that is, the queen's mother, you can't just punish without telling you, and ask for the concubine's life at will." โ
