The daylight is long, the breeze is blowing, the red leaves are sluggish, and it has been autumn in a blink of an eye.

Things didn't go as smoothly as expected. Maybe it's because you're in the palace, so whatever decision you make is bound to be a bit cumbersome.

The canonization ceremony of Shen Changan and Zhong Yuxiu was held a month later.

Shen Chang'an is a noble concubine, and Zhong Yuxiu is Zhaoyuan.

On that day, the emperor and the empress sat side by side on the main hall and accepted the bowing of Chang'an.

Chang'an was dressed in a red brocade robe, which was long and dragged to the ground, and the golden silk butterfly pattern was printed on the red. A green silk hair combed into a Yunhua bun, beautiful and graceful, the pearl the size of the little finger, bright as snow, stars flashing in the hair. She has a jasper phoenix hairpin on both sides of her bun, and she wears a golden phoenix flower on her wrist, her face is like a peach blossom, and she is bright and beautiful. She looked up at the queen Li Shushen on the high seat. The queen's bright yellow phoenix robe is embroidered with a superb colorful phoenix, which is vivid. The corner of the phoenix was like a scorching fire in Chang'an's eyes, stinging her eyes.

After the canonization ceremony, the matter of Chu Luo and Chang'an's parade was delayed again and again. In the white dew season of this year, the itinerary of the two has just been drawn up.

The emperor's parade, this matter must be not trivial, the queen mother repeatedly instructed to bring more people to accompany her, but Chu Luo just didn't realize it.

"What's the difference between taking so many people and being in the palace?"

The Queen Mother's eyebrows were serene, but there was still a hint of firmness in her soft tone, "If you don't bring an attendant, you will also bring the queen with you." ”

Chu Luo's eyes only showed a little cold star-like glimmer, and he was not moved, "Yun Ke is young, the queen should stay in the palace to take care of it." ”

At this point, the Queen Mother had nothing else to say.

Zhong Yuxiu was six months pregnant, and her abdomen was already obviously bulging, but in the end, she was young, and her body was not as plump as the queen before, but her complexion was ruddy, which made her beautiful and charming.

As soon as she heard that the emperor was going to take Shen Chang'an to Lin'an, she hurriedly ran to Mingde Palace, her eyes were like flying, and she begged coquettishly, "The emperor will also take his concubines with him." ”

Chu Luo's eyes suddenly turned into thin anger, and he reprimanded, "Nonsense! You have a body, how can you withstand such a tiring ride, it's better to have a good baby in the palace. ”

Zhong Yuxiu pursed her lips, extremely unconvinced. I just wanted to refute that the concubine was not a miscarriage for a long time, but seeing that the emperor's face was not good, he swallowed this sentence back.

As a result, the dust settled on Chu Luo's side.

However, Shen Chang'an's side is not alive.

In the Chonghua Palace, the palace people rushed to return to Lin'an City with Chang'an.

"Master, let me go with you, I have a lot of strength and can help......"

"Master, you better take me there, the little man doesn't know kung fu, and he can't even beat a few thieves ......"

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Dezi was not very happy to hear this, and turned around to fight with Xiao Shanzi.

"Don't make any noise—" Hanyan roared angrily, turned to look at Chang'an, and smiled proudly, "What are you two little eunuchs going to do?" The master is going to take me, isn't he, master? ”

The smile on the corner of Chang'an's lips froze slightly, and his eyes turned around, falling on the evening fragrance who bowed his head on the side.

Xiao Dezi caught Chang'an's expression, and laughed repeatedly, "I said Hanyan, and the master didn't say to take you there, what can you do here?" ”

Hanyan was not convinced, and snorted, "You are talking nonsense!" She turned her head and grabbed Chang'an's sleeve, revealing a three-point grievance, "I came out of Lin'an Palace, and I naturally took me with me when I went to Lin'an, right?" ”

Chang An smiled warmly, patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly, "Your body is not good, so don't go that far." Hongu decided to take the evening incense with him. ”

Wan Xiang raised her head when she heard this, and was surprised at first, "Me? ”

Chang'an smiled gently, "You shouldn't have been to Lin'an." ”

Wanxiang nodded desperately, so happy that tears were about to fall.

Hanyan bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

Chang An lowered his head and said comfortingly, "Hanyan, you are the palace maid in charge, and you need to take care of everything in the palace, if you follow, how can it be good?" Gonggong Hai beside the emperor also put it aside, didn't he? It's really amazing that you don't have you in this palace. ”

Han Yan heard Chang'an say this, the wrinkles in her eyebrows calmed down slightly, she wiped a handful of tears, nodded solemnly, and got up. When she walked to Wanxiang's side, she didn't forget to advise, "You have to take good care of your master." Only then did he leave satisfied.

Chang'an smiled gently, watching the back of the cold smoke go away.

But as soon as Hanyan walked to the door, Chang'an heard her sharp scream coming from outside the house.

"Ahhhh

"Ah, you're Miaochun."

"How did you become like this?"

Chang'an was puzzled and was about to get up to explore, but Hanyan had already turned around and entered.

"Master, she, she, she, she ......"

"I've heard you." Chang An sighed softly and asked out loud, "Where is she?" ”

Hanyan turned to the side and let Miaochun enter the hall.

Miaochun kept her head down, and the sideburns on both sides covered her face. Her body trembled, her legs and feet were extremely unstable, and she had to shake several times when she took a step. She forcibly saluted Chang'an, and Fang raised her head, "I've seen the concubine Niangniang." ”

Miaochun looked up, and Chang'an saw her appearance clearly. There was a visible scar on the right side of her face, reaching to her neck, her eyes drooping, her face dark, and her eyes were hollow and blank.

Chang'an was so frightened that his heart trembled.

The other three people standing in the room were also startled when they saw Miaochun like this, you look at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes fell back on Chang'an.

In Chang'an's impression, Miaochun has always been a very beautiful person. She is two years older than Chang'an, she looks delicate and lovely, and she can also be called an aunt in the middle palace, if it weren't for Aunt Yuzhi, she would have already been in charge of Fengluan Palace.

Chang'an's heart was also unbearable. This thing was not done by Miaochun, and it will not be the queen, so will it be Zhong Yuxiu? There were many people in the palace who hated her, so she wanted to leave this place quickly and ask for a moment of peace.

Chang'an's eyes turned on Miaochun's body, and she recognized that Miaochun was wearing the clothes of the maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and then sighed silently.

Miaochun stood there, her legs trembling, and she couldn't stand steadily, Chang'an gave Wanxiang a look, and Wanxiang immediately moved a chair for Miaochun to sit on.

Miao Chuncheng was terrified, shook his head again and again, and said, "The slave and maid are just the maids of the Huanyi Bureau, how can they sit in front of the concubine?" ”

"Sit down." Wan Xiang whispered comforting beside her, "Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to fall later?" ”

Miaochun glanced up at the evening fragrance, and bowed to Chang'an tremblingly, "Thank you, Concubine Niangniang." ”

Chang An nodded and watched Miaochun sit down. She picked up the tea lid and slowly skimmed the foam on the tea, waiting for Miaochun to speak first.

Miao Chun hesitated, and after a while, she finally spoke, "The slave is here to thank you today." She raised her head and looked at Chang'an quietly, her eyes slightly reddened, "Concubine Xie saved the life of the slave." ”

Chang'an felt sad in her heart, she took a sip of tea, and said unconsciously with pity, "It's not your fault that you're left and right, why take your life in vain." ”

Miaochun's eyes were boiled red, her eyebrows were beating violently, and her voice became more and more poignant, "The life of the slave is worthless, whether she is alive or dead, it doesn't matter to others, it's just that it's difficult for the concubine to save the slave and ......maid."

Miao Chun couldn't go on, like a stalk throat.

Chang'an's breathing became slow and long. It turned out that in this deep palace, human life was the thinnest. She sighed deeply, but she couldn't bear it, "You also have your family, your home is in Lin'an, naturally there are people who care about you, so don't say that." ”

There were hot tears welling up in Miaochun's eyes. Luckily, she still has family. Fortunately, the queen treated her well, and gave her family a pension when she was wronged. It's a pity that she didn't see her mother for the last time. When the mother was dying, she heard the news that her daughter had mutilated the imperial heir and was forced to die. I heard that when my mother finally died, she didn't even close her eyes, and her eyes looked straight at the sky.

Miao Chun knew that it was waiting for her.

Tears poured down, and Miao Chun endured as much as she could, just as she endured all the pain in this world.

Ignoring Wanxiang's support, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Chang'an.

One, two, three.

In the silence, all I could hear was the sound of her forehead touching the ground.

She looked up, a stain of bright red blood on her forehead.

Chang An raised his face and motioned for Xiao Dezi and Xiao Shanzi to help her up. It took a lot of effort for the two to pull Miaochun up from the ground, and Miaochun's face still had tears on her face.

Chang'an's eyebrows were a little more sad like falling snow, and he also sighed, "The Huanyi Bureau does the most tiring work, and you are not young, this palace will think of a way for you." ”

Miaochun snorted and wanted to kneel again. Fortunately, Xiao Dezi and Xiao Shanzi grabbed her tightly one by one and sent her back to her seat.

Miaochun lowered her eyebrows and bowed her head, and burst into tears, "The great kindness of the concubine Niangniang, the slave and maid are unforgettable." She raised her head, looking solemn and cautious, "If there is a coming day, the slave will definitely repay the mother." ”

Chang'an was also a little moved. Miaochun is a smart person, but what else can she expect from the way she is now? She stroked her sideburns, her thoughts wandering. But Miaochun stood up and prepared to leave.

"The Huanyi Bureau still has something waiting for the slave maid to do, and the slave and maid will retire first."

Chang'an nodded, turned his head and called, "Evening fragrance, go and send a Miaochun." ”

Wanxiang agreed, and when Miaochun was leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head, and solemnly bent down and said, "The slave maid also wants to remind Niangniang, be careful of Zhong Yuxiu." ”

She gritted her teeth at the three words "Zhong Yuxiu", calling the concubine by her name like this is a taboo in the palace. Miao Chun didn't even care about this, obviously hated it to the core.

Chang An gently tapped the table with his fingernails, and Miaochun's words were scattered in the wind for a moment.

She wanted to look at the red bricks and blue tiles, deep into the palace wall, and she was also a little emotional.

Luckily, she still had Chu Luo, and fortunately, he was able to take her out of this place for a short time.
