The incense burns and the candle shadow remains, and the royal clothes are smoked.

When I returned, I slept in the red tent, and I was cold in my dreams with a west wind.

Looking at the new poem I had just written, the corners of my lips couldn't help but pout a wry smile. Bao Yuan, Bao Yuan, and now you must be in a difficult situation!

My mind went back to a few days ago......

That afternoon, I was taking a nap in my room when I broke into my bedroom before I could get the word out. Seeing that the corners of her forehead were already sweating, I was so surprised in my heart, what happened? can make her, who has always been old, do this, I'm afraid this is not a small matter.

Without waiting for me to ask, Jingyi said to Ming'er: "Come and make tea with me, my throat is about to smoke!" ”

Ming'er made tea, Jingyi took two sips, calmed down a little, sat down beside me, and said, "Tell me, you talk about it, it's only been a few days, and it's been arrogant like that......"

I didn't know the reason, and I wondered: "Sister, why do you say this?" ”

"It's not that Shen Yuefu yet, it's okay now, it's okay to provoke a Li Yanniang, and Rao brought Zhang Xianru, now it's okay, it's going to be troublesome, I really don't know how to end it."

"What do you mean by that?"

"What the cause is, I don't know now, it seems to be because of the quarrel between Xuanbao and Xuanyu's children." Jingyi frowned.

"What's the situation now?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to make trouble with you later, so I'm hurrying back to make you prepared." Speaking, Jingyi listened carefully and said: "It seems to be coming, I faintly saw that Xuan Zhe was also there, why don't you call that kid to ask first, anyway, you are now the time to rest, the emperor has ordered no one to disturb your rest, I think they are arrogant, I am afraid that they will not dare to disturb you at this time." ”

"Hmm." I nodded and said: "The three of them may not come to me, these three people have always had a relationship with me, my sister knows best, I shouldn't be able to get any cheap here, I guess they came to Changchun Hall to make trouble for my sister." Speaking of this, I grinned and quipped: "Now that I am the assistant of the sixth palace, my sister has also taken on a share of responsibility!" ”

"Alas, you're still just joking." Jingyi glanced at me, and was about to say something, but I only heard the report from the outside world, Li Yanniang and Zhang Xianru begged to see Jingyi.

When I heard this, I raised my neck towards Jingyi, meaning: Look, let me guess right!

Jingyi gritted her teeth and pointed at me, sighed and turned to walk out, giving me another look as she was about to leave the door. I knew that she was asking me to ask Xuan Zhe in private, so I smiled and nodded.

After Jingyi left, I asked Ming'er to summon Xuanzhe.

When Xuan Zhe came, his face was full of uneasiness, I pretended not to see it, but said that the newly paid fruit was very good, so I specially asked him to eat.

Xuan Zhe took a pear in his hand, took a bite, and suddenly said to me with tears in his eyes: "Mother, is it true that my father only likes Xuanbao's younger brother?" ”

I was very distressed when I saw him so sad, so I hurriedly took him in my arms, and asked while wiping away his tears: "How could Sheng'er ask like this, you and Xuanbao are both princes, and your father loves you with the same heart." ”

When Xuan Zhe heard me say this, his expression was a little relaxed, but he didn't believe it in his mouth: "Why did my father personally teach Brother Bao to write and write, but rarely taught me and Brother Yu in person?" ”

"Your father's dynasty is busy, and the saint is old, and he already has some skills in poetry, books and articles." After a pause, he said: "Didn't your father personally point out the school book to teach you calligraphy, and there is also a mother concubine who accompanies you every day, so ......"

Xuan Zhe thought for a while, sniffed and said, "What the mother concubine said is that my father has always loved his sons. It's just that Brother Yu's words today make me uneasy. There are also the words of Xiuyi Niangniang and Chongrong Niangniang......"

The children in the harem are more precocious than the children of ordinary people, although Xuan Zhe is young, his biological mother died early, and he naturally cares more about Baoyuan's attitude and love than other princes.

Over the years, he has been taken care of and raised by me, and he has gradually become more at ease, not as timid and withdrawn as before.

"Sheng'er, you tell the mother concubine, what happened?" I asked as I walked over Xuan Zhe.

"Mother, in the morning, Brother Yu and I were in the peony garden to learn painting, Shen Chongrong Niangniang took Brother Bao to play in the peony garden, and when I saw the two of us painting, Shen Niangniang praised me for painting well." Xuan Zhe stopped, thought for a while, and said: "Shen Niangniang said that Brother Yu also writes well, and Brother Bao said next to him that Brother Yu's writing stroke order is wrong." ”

"And then?"

"Brother Yu was not convinced, saying that it was taught by the master, how could it be wrong, but Brother Bao was taught by his father...... The two of them had a dispute, so Brother Bao told Brother Yu that he didn't believe it and asked his father ......," Xuan Zhe said.

"Hmm," I nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"When I said that I didn't believe it and asked my father, Brother Yu cried and shouted: My mother said, your mother is a fox spirit, and you are not a good thing, you occupy your father every day, and your father is not allowed to like me, like the holy brother and Sister Fengyi."

Xuan Zhe described to me in Xuan Yu's voice, I listened to the desolation in my heart, pity these children, they have to suffer from jealousy at a young age. This Li Yanniang didn't know how to be more restrained in front of her own children, and she taught the children badly in vain.

I was distracted, and I suddenly heard Xuan Zhe carefully ask next to me: "Mother, is Shen Niangniang really a fox spirit?" Will the father and emperor not come to us again in the future, and no longer like the mother and concubine, and dislike the saint? ”

I was speechless for a while, and my words were unscrupulous, but to me it sounded like a heavy stone in my chest.

"No, you are the eldest son of the emperor, and your father has always loved you." I stroked his head, "No matter how many younger brothers and sisters you have in the future, in your father's heart, there is only one saint." ”

These words seem to comfort the child, but they also seem to comfort themselves, how I hope that I will always be the only unique existence in Bao Yuan's heart, no matter how many women he has now, and how many women he will have in the future.

After some persuasion from me, Xuan Zhe's mood gradually became cheerful, and he talked about his homework recently, and happily went to find Fengyi to play.

Sending Xuan Zhe away, he moved to the window, and saw Jingyi coming from the good dormitory angrily.

"It's too unlikely, it's too unlikely...... Jingyi turned white with anger, and said angrily: "That Zhang Xianru is just a charger, how dare you contradict me like this...... Is she the only one who is the daughter, and I am the village woman? ”

didn't wait for me to speak, and said: "Even if her father is in power, my Han family is not unpopular in the court." Hum...... And that Li Yanniang, it's really vulgar! ”

Jingyi was so angry, I had never seen it, and I thought that the two of them really said something excessive.

I brought her a cup of tea with my own hands and said, "My sister is from a family, everyone is beautiful, don't worry about those rough women." ”

"Rui'er, you comment, Li Yanniang and Zhang Xianru came to me by themselves, but they just messed around and insisted that Shen Yuefu and Xuanbao cursed them, and asked me to punish Shen Yuefu according to the palace rules......"

"Then how does my sister solve it with them?"

"Naturally, I can't listen to and believe partially, so I have to persuade a few words, let the two of them go back to their palace first, and wait for me to pass Shen Yuefu to ask for an understanding, and then discuss with you and then make a decision."

I nodded and said, "It's very reasonable for my sister to deal with it like this." ”

"But you know what that Zhang Xianru said, she actually said that Shen Yuefu once lived in the Changchun Palace, and you and I were fortunate enough to make it happen, so that she could confuse the emperor, so as to help the two of us compete for favor and hold the throne......" Jingyi said hatefully.

"What? Scold! "I can't help but be angry, this Zhang Xianru is really a master who doesn't choose to speak.

"It's even more infuriating...... Li Yanniang insinuated from the side, meaning that my sister had been in the palace for many years and had nothing to do, and I only had my daughter under my knees...... "For the rest of the words, I don't need to say much, I can already guess, I feel a rush of anger in my chest, and my temples on both sides suddenly throb with pain."

"Sister, sister......" Xu saw that my complexion changed greatly, Jingyi panicked, and called me vigorously

"Sister, it's okay." I forced my mind and said to her: "This matter, let them make trouble, let the emperor deal with it himself, from today onwards I will close the palace and thank you, and no one will see you." ”

"Well, that's fine." Jingyi nodded and said, "I'll go and return today's matter to the Queen Mother to see how the Queen Mother shows it." After that, Jingyi got up to say goodbye and sent her away, I only felt weak as if I had collapsed.

This deep palace, why is it so terrifying, it is really a fat pink yaksha, a red-faced evil ghost!

Not long after Jingyi went, Liang Shouzhen passed on Baoyuan's will, only saying that he would not come for dinner today, saying that he was going to the Queen Mother.

When it was time for dinner, Jingyi came back, and there were tears on her face.

After asking carefully, Li Yanniang and Zhang Xianru really made trouble at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother sent Shen Yuefu to blame her in public, but she didn't admit that Shen Yuefu actually sought death to show her innocence. After Bao Yuan rescued Yuefu, Long Yan was furious and punished all the concubines present...... Jingyi was innocently blamed, and her heart was wronged, and she cried when she talked to me.

My heart is miserable, if I am present, will he also punish me? He is so partial to Yuefu, he should care about her very much! Maybe it's not just love, but I don't dare to think about it.

When Jingyi left, I didn't have any impression at all, I just felt that the sky was getting darker......

Liang Shouzhen once again came to Baoyuan's will, and he stayed alone in the Chongguang Hall tonight. Come to think of it, such a large group of women, he is caught in it, and it is difficult to do anything!

In the following days, the court bureau did not pass on any concubines to serve in the Chongguang Palace, and Bao Yuan did not set foot in the harem again.

It's just that Liang Shouzhen will send me gifts every day according to Baoyuan's will, or jewelry, food, or a bouquet of flowers...... So, let me know that he still remembers me.

Listening to Liang Shouzhen, Zhang Ye seemed to be very dissatisfied with his daughter's anger in the harem, and repeatedly asked to see the Queen Mother and Baoyuan, but did not get a satisfactory answer.

The court is in an eventful time, and I haven't seen Bao Yuan for many days, hesitating whether to look for him, and I really miss him in my heart!
