On the shore of the Taiye Pool, Liang Ruojun has been to countless places, and every time the queen has an excuse not to let her get close to the Shangyang Palace, the long bridge that seems to lead to the sky, she has never stepped on half a step. However√, with the change of circumstances, as she put a heart on the emperor, her curiosity gradually faded, and she was even willing to give up everything for a while, willing to succumb to the queen and live in harmony with her, just to keep the relationship between herself and the emperor.

But now Liang Ruojun feels that he is too naïve, the emperor's family, as long as he is subservient to others for a day, he will not be able to talk about the truth for a day. Since the emperor loves the empress deeply and can give half of his heart, then in the future, there will be other women who will take another half from her, and she will eventually fall into the same fate as her mother. Therefore, she wants affection, power and status are even more indispensable.

Step by step, this long bridge seems to be endless, Liang Ruojun already felt impatient, but inadvertently glanced at the shore, the palaces and pavilions are still lit up, and the glory is dazzling in the dark night, compared to standing on the shore and looking up at the splendor of the Shangyang Palace, it turns out that the palace on the shore has never lost its brilliance.

It is conceivable that the queen stands in the Shangyang Hall every day and looks at such a scene, and every light is a threat to her.

"Concubine Niangniang." In front of the door of the Shangyang Palace, he was led up elegantly and diligently, not as indifferent as the previous supervisor who went to Yuming Palace, humble and kind, and led the way for Liang Ruojun, "Niangniang, you go this way, the queen is waiting for you." ”

Liang Ruojun originally wanted to ask the queen what to find her first, but when she thought that the people around the queen were all human spirits, she gave up, and stepped into the Shangyang Palace with one foot with the pride and dignity she should have, and she had heard countless times from others about the situation of the Shangyang Palace, and at first glance, she was still shocked. This is not a joke of the concubines at all, what is just a chair empty, the most real feeling after stepping into this door is that he is too small.

"Mother, please." Qingya noticed Liang Ruojun's shock, but she didn't see it, and took her all the way to the inner hall, where the queen was holding the little princess and leaning on the beauty couch, talking to the nurse on the side.

Originally, the dignity of the noble concubine did not have to kneel and bow when she saw the queen, but the first time she stepped in, Liang Ruojun also knew the rules, she bowed solemnly every week, Min'er smiled faintly: "Come back in the future, don't be like this, everyone sit down and talk, where are so many rules." Saying that, let the nurse take the little princess away, and didn't say that she would ask the concubine to take a look.

Qingya set up a chair and invited Liang Ruojun to sit, and then retreated.

"Look, it's going to be late at night, and Shangyang Hall doesn't drink tea at night, so they didn't serve you tea." Min'er smiled and explained, "If you are thirsty, just call them again, don't be restrained with me." ”

"The concubine is not thirsty, I am afraid that it will disturb the mother's rest, and the mother should only tell the concubine if she has something, so that you can rest earlier." Liang Ruojun still lowered her head, and she took care of her eyes from the moment she entered the door, in fact, she was very curious about what it was like here, but she didn't dare to look around, she didn't want people to think that she was yearning for something, especially the queen.

Min'er didn't seem to care about these details, and only said kindly: "It's not for anything else, it's okay to let Qingya pass the word, but I'm afraid that she can't say it clearly, and it goes against my mind." It's Haizhu's matter, Fang Cai Shanggong went to you to get people with such fanfare, in front of the emperor and the concubines, embarrassed you and couldn't get off the stage, and I hope you don't go to your heart, I did it on purpose, I also want to set rules for the palace. ”

Liang Ruojun got up, bowed his head and confessed: "It's the concubine's lax governance, which makes Haizhu arrogant, and asks the mother to forgive her sins." ”

Min'er smiled: "No, it's a big fuss in the Shanggong Bureau, they asked me what to do, the little princess was crying at that time, and I didn't hear what was going on, so I hurriedly responded, and when I looked back and knew the details, I felt sorry for you." ”

"Niangniang shouldn't say such a thing, it's a concubine." Liang Ruojun's face tightened, she couldn't figure out the queen's intentions.

"You have such a good temperament, even if Haizhu is short-tempered, he will not be a slave." Min'er smiled and said, "I have already told Shang Gongju not to embarrass Haizhu." ”

However, the queen clearly slapped her confidant Qingya to supervise the Yuming Palace, how could she not hear any hasty decisions? She clearly ......

"After giving birth to a princess, my spirit has not been very good, I don't know what is going on outside in the Shangyang Palace, and I have been neglected by you a lot." Min'er sighed lightly, "If this matter is made tonight, the people inside and outside the palace will be more and more discordant with us." ”

"No, the mother is kind-hearted, and the concubines also admire the mother very much." Liang Ruojun is duplicitous, and his heart has long been messed up, what does the queen want to do? Slap someone in the face, and then force a piece of candy?

Min'er's eyebrows were crooked, amiable and kind: "Although you are young, you are stronger than me back then, and the emperor should like you." And the queen mother often chatters, hoping that the emperor can be evenly exposed to the rain and dew in the harem, if you make a good start from you, it will be too peaceful in the harem. The emperor always thinks that leaving the harem is sincere to me, but he doesn't know where I am and what I am embarrassed about. ”

Liang Ruojun was in a state of confusion, what did the queen want to do?

Min'er said to herself: "You may not be happy to listen to such words, but for the long-term peace and tranquility of the harem, for the emperor's heirs, and for the emperor's heirs, I also remind the emperor often, don't forget the other people in the harem." Lin Zhaoyi's grandson Xiu Rong them, they didn't have to pick their appearance and character, and they shouldn't be snubbed by the emperor. ”

Liang Ruojun's expression was tense, and she raised her eyes to look at the queen's plain face without makeup, and there was a deep smile in her clear eyes, no matter how she looked, she couldn't see through it.

"Naturally, asking you to open your mouth is to embarrass you, and I don't force you to do this, I want our sisters to have this heart." Min'er sighed lightly, "It's not easy to be such a big family, now that you are a saint, I won't force you, but the time is long, and you will be calmer in the future, think about what I said, even if we are the people at the top of this harem, we should put ourselves in a good position, don't you say?" ”

"What the mother said is very true." Liang Ruojun can do anything other than agree?

"You are such a transparent person, no wonder the emperor likes it." Min'er smiled and said kindly, "Haizhu's matter, I was negligent, don't take it to heart if you accompany you." At this time, Shang Gongju should have let people go, go back and comfort her, and reward her with some gold and silver. ”

Saying this, the queen gave an order to expel the guest, Liang Ruojun was self-aware, and took the initiative to leave, naturally she didn't want to stay here for a moment now. Min'er didn't stop her, and after agreeing, she sent Liang Ruojun away with a smile, and this smile did not disappear because of her departure, but just changed its meaning.

Min'er closed her eyes leisurely, I don't know what kind of expression the emperor is in Yuming Palace at this moment, and what she calculated is that the emperor forcibly left Haizhu in Yuming Palace, but the emperor asked people to take Haizhu away, Min'er had to find Liang Ruojun to say this, I hope everything can continue smoothly, even if there is no discussion in advance, she and Xiang Ye will definitely cooperate tacitly.

At this moment, Liang Ruojun has not yet walked out of the long bridge, in the Yuming Palace, the emperor arrived early, he stood under the window with his hands, and in the brightly lit dormitory, a middle-aged palace maid was standing behind him, and Zhou Huai was also on the side, and after glancing at the man, he silently retreated.

"Zhou Huai said, can you have the ability?" Xiang Ye coughed dryly, after all, what he said was not something to be proud of, "Can you guarantee that the concubine will not doubt it?" ”

The palace maid said: "This is the usual trick of the prostitutes in the folk green building, as long as the medicine is not discovered, and then you will not be able to distinguish the true from the false, this is different from the spring dream, it is an illusion, naturally just started, and you have to ask the emperor to be gentle." ”

Xiang Ye said: "I understand. He paused and asked, "Will it hurt someone's body, or kill someone?" ”

The middle-aged palace maid said: "In the harem of Zhao Kingdom, Emperor Jianguang was young, but he established a harem. The deep palace is lonely, and there are often concubines to appease themselves, so they will flow into the forbidden palace, and the slaves and maids have not seen any human life, and naturally no one will use it every day. ”

"You have a good sense of proportion, neither let the concubine notice, nor hurt her life." Xiang Ye said lightly, "I can't leave you for a year and a half, I will follow me from now on, you are tight-lipped, no one will embarrass you, but if you leak out half a word......

The palace maid said prostrately: "The slave and maid don't dare, and Father-in-law Zhou will explain everything to the slave and maid." ”，

"Stand down, the concubine will be back soon." Xiang Ye waved his hand, and never said anything.

After a while, Haizhu was sent back by the people of the Shanggong Bureau, although she was not embarrassed or beaten, but this scared her so much that she knelt in front of the emperor and couldn't say a word.

Liang Ruojun learned that the emperor arrived first, hurried into the door, and saw Haizhu kneeling on the ground crying, she was stunned, but heard the emperor say: "She cried herself, I didn't embarrass her, I sent someone to talk to the queen to bring someone back for you, but I didn't expect the queen to call you away." ”

Xiang Ye stepped forward, took Liang Ruojun's hand and asked, "Has she embarrassed you, if you have any grievances, you must tell me." ”

Liang Ruojun's eyes were hazy with tears, and she shook her head, sure enough, it was the emperor who thought about her, and the queen's high-sounding words were just for her to find herself under the stairs, and she would also be afraid of angering the emperor, wouldn't she?

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Ruojun hung his head and choked, "It's not good to be a concubine." ”

Xiang Ye smiled gently: "Don't say stupid things, during the Qixi Festival, I don't want to live up to the good night." Ruojun, I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just by your side. ”
