Yuehua left the palace in the afternoon, and the Empress Dowager instructed her to deal with the trivial matters in the shop and other places, and move back to the Changle Marquis Mansion for a few days.

This means that Yuehua has entered the palace from the Hou Mansion.

Where to enter the palace, there is a lot of exquisiteness, representing the origin of the concubine. At this point, the Empress Dowager took great pains to think about it quite comprehensively and long-term, and entered the palace from the Hou Mansion, first of all, the name is orthodox and noble, and secondly, Changle Hou has no position in the court, and he is more stable than several other uncles. No matter what happens in the future, Yuehua will be able to stay alone and will not be affected.

I heard that the right minister of the Chang family has submitted the documents to return to his hometown, and the emperor has also approved it, and he is about to stay away from the court, empty-handed, and be an idle cloud and wild crane, and he can no longer ask about the government. As a quid pro quo, the position of the queen of Yuehua was tacitly understood by everyone, that is, the empress dowager alone can act arbitrarily, and neither the emperor nor the empress dowager can refute it.

The decree at the end of the book has been prepared, and the iron plate is nailed, and only waiting for the auspicious day of the zodiac, the chief of ceremonies in the palace and the officials of the Ministry of Rites will go to announce the decree.

Just like the dust settled, the world of Yuehua has been turned upside down.

As soon as she returned home, Shao Ziqing arrived that night. He was still dressed in brocade during the day, slightly wrinkled, with a slight smell of sweet pear blossom wine. The black hair was messy by the night wind all the way, and the whole person looked a little depressed, listless, soaked in the cold night moisture, and the person was like a fallen leaf covered with a layer of green frost.

He was let into the house by Xiangshen, not as polite as before, standing at the door, without saying a word, a little depressed.

Xiangshen offered a light of Emei snow buds, and seeing that both of them were silent, he dragged Mama Wei on the side with interest, and signaled to withdraw with her.

Mama Wei frowned and shook her head, glaring at her fiercely, full of dissatisfaction.

Yuehua opened her mouth lightly: "Mama Wei, you go and help me collect the rewards I brought back." ”

Mama Wei didn't move: "Miss, you will enter the palace in a few days, this ...... Not so convenient, right? ”

Yuehua saw that Shao Ziqing was in turmoil, and when she heard this, she felt bored for no reason, and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Go down!" ”

Xiang Shen saw that his master was already annoyed, and pulled Mama Wei out half-supported and half-dragged. Mama Wei tripped over the threshold of the outer room, her feet were unstable, she staggered two steps, and sprinkled all her anger on Xiangshen: "Why are you so unreasonable, leaving Miss and Lord Shao Xiang alone in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, if it spreads......"

The person was pulled into the courtyard, and the chatter and whining words in the back were lowered, and they were inaudible and inaudible.

Shao Ziqing lowered his eyes, and the two of them still didn't say a word. The room was so quiet that breathing could be heard, and a trace of ambiguity quietly swam between the two, gradually sprouting, giving birth to tender green leaves.

In the end, it was Shao Ziqing who took the lead in breaking the silence, frowned slightly, and looked at Yuehua fiercely: "You really plan to enter the palace, right?" ”

Yuehua nodded, facing him again, and couldn't tell what it was like.

"Why?"

Yuehua raised her head calmly, with a flat face: "There is no reason." ”

"Why don't you spot the cruelty of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" on the spot?" Shao Ziqing spoke to Yuehua so sharply for the first time, a little aggressively sharp, took a step forward, lowered his head and stared at her, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were burning.

"That embroidered picture was given to Chang Lingyan by the boss of Nanzhao Cloth Village?" Yuehua did not answer the rhetorical question.

"I did the right thing, but this matter is clearly agreed by the emperor!"

"Your Majesty?" Yuehua was taken aback, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Why did he do this?" ”

"Why? Because the emperor doesn't want you to enter the palace! His favorite queen is Chang Lingyan! Shao Ziqing almost shouted in a low voice.

Yuehua looked at him a little dazed, and the words he blurted out impulsively surprised her, but she still couldn't react for a while. It turned out that the person he liked was really Chang Lingyan, no wonder that the door of Xiuzhuang would protect her like that day, regardless of right and wrong, humiliate himself in public on the street, ruin his reputation, and carefully explained that Shao Ziqing personally sent Ling Yan back to Changle Hou's mansion.

She thought it was a misunderstanding, but it turned out that he did it on purpose. Thinking of the undisguised disgust in his eyes, he didn't know how much hatred was surging in his heart.

He liked Chang Lingyan and immediately followed, believing that the Empress Dowager would be happy to see it, and the left and right were the daughters of the Chang family. However, the emperor handed over the picture of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" to Chang Lingyan in order to please the Queen Mother, why do you want me to expose this matter? Did Chang Lingyan annoy him in front of the Empress Dowager? Aren't you afraid of annoying the emperor? ”

Shao Ziqing's eyebrows were locked tighter, and dark clouds swept up in his eyes, pressing down layer by layer: "In a hurry, where is there a complete strategy?" You can only make dangerous moves. Chang Lingyan doesn't matter if she is a queen or not, the most important thing is that you can't enter the palace! ”

"Why?"

Shao Ziqing took a step forward, only a few inches away from her, she felt a little suffocated, and couldn't help but take a step back, Shao Ziqing took a step closer, she began to panic, swallowed the next mouthful with difficulty, looked up at Shao Ziqing, who was already obviously angry, at a loss.

Shao Ziqing changed her previous warmth, pursed her thin lips, held back her anger, and said word by word: "Because, I don't want you to enter the palace!" ”

Yuehua was a little stupid this time, and wanted to ask "why", but looking at Shao Ziqing's face, she didn't dare to ask after all, afraid that he would say something that he couldn't answer.

"I risked being spied on my mind to give advice to the emperor just to prevent the queen mother from summoning you to the palace. As long as you ignore the overall situation of the Chang family, suppress the Lian family on the spot, and annoy the Empress Dowager, you can get out of the way, but why don't you listen to me? Why did you regret it? You said you didn't want to enter the palace! ”

Faced with Shao Ziqing's accusations, Yuehua suddenly felt full of grievances, he had given him two chances, but he was indifferent, why was he so aggressive asking himself now? If the teacher asks for sin, he says that he has offended the most evil. What's more, even if the Lian family is suppressed? She is still Mrs. Hou, and it is easy to put herself to death. When the time comes, he will be angry with the Empress Dowager, and the Lian family and the Chang family will have no fear, and they will face themselves openly and secretly, what should they do? Who to rely on? How do you survive in such a world?

Since you can't kill Lian with one move, then you shouldn't make another move and put yourself in the crosshairs. Did he think about his future retreat?

"What if I don't enter the palace? You, Lord Shao, are high, and you don't understand the hardships of our humble people. Although I broke away from the Changle Hou Mansion and got back what belonged to me, the Lian family held a grudge and kept chasing after me in every possible way. It doesn't matter if life is a little difficult, we can stand through it, even if we are stripped to nothing, we can still be self-reliant. However, now, my parents are not at peace under the nine springs, and I can't even save the lives of my relatives around me, so I watched Xiangche leave me, but I was helpless.

At that time, you were my only hope, and I brazenly offered to ask you for help, but you remained silent and indifferent. Xiang Che died tragically, and I was sued by the Lian villain first, I asked you what can I do if I don't enter the palace? You have no choice but to persuade me to be patient. I was desperate and just went to find a way to make a living on my own, but you caught me off guard, made me wonder why, bothered to guess, and ran over to accuse me with righteous indignation. What's more, the Empress Dowager wants me to enter the palace, and I have no ability to resist at all, what else can I do but give in? ”

Shao Ziqing was stunned for a moment, speechless by the argument, and stood there motionless, only a faint drunken smell still shrouded Yuehua.

"I told you I had everything."

After being silent for a long time, Shao Ziqing finally spoke bitterly.

"Hehe, when have you ever said something like this? Even if there is only a few words, if I have a second choice, I will do it desperately! ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Shao Ziqing's eyes: "I came to look for you the day before yesterday, and I made it clear in the letter I left for you, and I also informed you of the matter of "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" in advance, so that you can have a plan in advance, didn't Mama Wei hand it over to you?" ”

"The day before yesterday? I was there the day before yesterday, staying at home, how could I not know? ”

Both of them instantly understood what had happened, and fell into an even more terrible silence. Shao Ziqing clenched his fists, and green tendons appeared, making a "gurgling" sound.
