On the day when the cousin in the second uncle's mansion married the princess, Yuehua asked the queen mother, sent Mama Wei out of the palace, and sent some rewards to the second uncle's mansion as a congratulatory ceremony.

When you just enter the palace, you need to go around, even the little eunuch who runs errands and delivers letters is to reward a few copper plates or silver bills, not to mention the people in his palace, as long as he is diligent in his work, Yuehua is not stingy. When the expenses are large, the income in the shop must be temporarily subsidized.

When Mama Wei came back, she was overjoyed, and when she saw that there was a happy event, she didn't report this errand first, but bent down to Yuehua to salute, and couldn't wait: "Niangniang, there is a happy event." ”

Yuehua stopped the needlework in her hand and turned her head in surprise: "What kind of happy event?" ”

Mama Wei happily took out an envelope from her arms and handed it to Yuehua: "Niangniang, look, whose letter is this?" ”

Yuehua's breathing suddenly became short, except for his righteous brother Chu Mubai, who else could write to him?

She stood up, snatched the envelope, and when she saw the iron-painted silver hook on the envelope, she immediately burst into tears of excitement and pressed the envelope tightly to her heart. You don't have to look at the contents, but you just need to see his letters and know that everything is safe with him.

There has been no news from him for such a long time, Yuehua is worried every day, sleepless at night, and has all kinds of bad speculations in her heart. "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, a few people came back to fight in ancient times", "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither", she was born in Jiangmen, and understands the cruelty of war and the impermanence of life better than anyone else, so at this moment, the tense and concerned strings were suddenly broken, and immediately burst into tears, crying with joy.

Mama Wei was obviously a little panting: "The old slave knew that this was great news for the mother, and she didn't dare to breathe, so she ran back in a hurry." Let's take a look at what Young Master Mu Bai said? ”

Yuehua's hands trembled a little, and she opened the envelope tremblingly. The envelope had been tossed and turned, and it was almost worn out on all sides, thanks to the fact that the seal was glued very firmly with paste. He took out the neatly folded letter and carefully unfolded it, writing not with a brush but with charcoal, and the content was extremely simple, and the font was sloppy, which seemed to be very hasty.

Little Sister Yuehua:

Everything is fine for my brother, but I am not in the capital, I have been alone for more than five years, I have abandoned my little sister alone, I have not made any achievements for several years, and I can't take revenge, and I feel guilty for my brother.

It's hard to put pen to paper, there is no blood to serve the country, only the villains in the army can be hated, and I and my father-in-law's old generals are now being degraded, and it is shameful and hateful.

I am ashamed of my brother, there is no time to return, little sister Yuehua should take care, Mo Nian.

It is difficult to hide the frustration and righteous indignation between the lines of the letter, and then look at the signature, it is already three months ago, this letter was transferred to his own hands, and I don't know how many hurdles it has experienced.

Yuehua asked strangely: "There is no trace of this envelope being opened and inspected, and there is no post station seal, which means that it is not an official road post station." How did it get to the store? ”

"The shopkeeper said that a group of businessmen who went to Xiliang to do business brought it back when they returned to their hometown for the New Year."

Yuehua lowered her head and looked at the content of the letter again, her words were sharp, permeated with naked and naked dissatisfaction, knowing that such a letter would not pass the inspection of the army at all, so it was no wonder that the letter would be smuggled.

"Then it's strange, the army has always been disciplined, how did Brother Mu Bai hand over the letter to them?"

Mama Wei shook her head: "Then I didn't inquire carefully, the left and right should have come out of the hands of the people who came out of the army to purchase, Young Master Mu Bai is righteous and respectful, and he has always been wild." ”

Yuehua read the letter over and over again, and her doubts were even more prevalent. Chu Mubai's position in the army is not low, can't he even find a pen and paper to write a letter to his family? Is it shabby or hasty enough to write in charcoal strips? Is it really as he said in his letter, and now he has been degraded? What kind of torment is it for him, who is arrogant and bent on killing the enemy to avenge his father?

Yuehua pondered for a moment, threw the letter directly into the charcoal basin and burned it, a puff of green smoke rose, and the tongue of fire quickly swept the envelope.

"Why did the mother burn it? Didn't you keep all your past letters and take them out at your leisure? On the side, Mama Wei asked suspiciously.

Yuehua smiled: "There is nothing written in it, just a few words to report peace." What's more, the exchange of information between the harem and the border soldiers is always evasive, so it's better to take care of it. You should also be careful not to leak any information, lest someone make a fuss. ”

Mama Wei responded, and Qiao Zhu opened the curtain and came in to spread the word, saying that someone from the Ci'an Palace had sent someone to pass the word.

Mama Wei went out and invited people in, she was a lean mother-in-law, as soon as she entered the door and asked for peace, her eyes turned around the room, and she caught a glimpse of the charcoal basin in the corner of the house.

Yuehua turned her face and saw that there was still an envelope on the edge of the charcoal basin that had not been completely burned. She hurriedly coughed lightly, and the mother-in-law retracted her eyes, and said with a straight face: "Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is invited." ”

Yuehua secretly thought about what had happened in the near future, and there were only three things left and right, one was that she was plotted as soon as she entered the palace, and the other was about the second uncle, and third, she had just reprimanded Qiao Zhu's girl, could it be that the Empress Dowager had any thoughts in her heart?

After careful consideration, he didn't have anything to lose, so he got up and dusted off the threads on his body, and followed him to Ci'an Palace.

In Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager had already retired from the left and right people, leaving only Mama Lin to serve in front of her, and when she saw Yuehua's calm face, like a piece of soaked cotton cloth, she drooped so much that her eyelids were not raised.

Yuehua sensitively smelled a heavy anger lingering on the Empress Dowager's lips, and she was about to explode when she saw her. She knew that what she was doing was not in line with her old man's wishes, so she bowed in a regular manner and listened to her.

"Is the queen still used to being in the palace these days?" The Empress Dowager's tone was extremely calm, and she did not ask the teacher for guilt.

"Thanks to the blessing of the Empress Dowager, everything is fine in Yuehua."

"Is the emperor okay there?"

Yuehua was a little choked, whether the emperor was good or not, how did she know? It seems that after coming out of the Queen Mother's Ruian Palace that day, I haven't seen the emperor again.

"That's good."

"I heard?" The Empress Dowager suddenly raised her eyelids and announced the coming of the storm: "You are the queen, the wife of the emperor's media, serving tea and clothes, adding fragrance to red sleeves, and asking for warmth, that is what you should do as a wife." Why is the emperor good or not, and he still uses you to hearsay? ”

Yuehua was wronged, but she was silent and didn't dare to argue.

"Do you want to tell the mourning family that you can't see the emperor's face, and you are also wronged in your heart? You deserve it! didn't measure his strength, forced himself to stand up for a small talent, and disobeyed the emperor and the queen mother. It's not surprising for them to see you at every turn. ”

Yuehua lowered her eyebrows and replied respectfully: "Yuehua knows that she is wrong, and the Empress Dowager is angry." ”

"It's good to know your mistakes," the Empress Dowager sighed and softened down: "Now that your second uncle is proud of the spring breeze, the emperor will reuse it, so he will inevitably give him some face, and he will also be impressed by you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time." You live in Qingqiu Palace, don't think about sharing worries for the emperor, take care of the harem, so lazy. ”

The Empress Dowager hated iron and steel, and she was a little heartbroken when she preached. Yuehua thought to herself, it has been so long since the wedding, and she has not even climbed onto the dragon bed, and she has been abandoned by the emperor like a shoe, and it is ridiculous to slip the world, no wonder her old man is in a hurry.

The current situation is indeed a good time to seduce the emperor, and he is not in a hurry to sit in the Qingqiu Palace, as if he is waiting for a rabbit, and it is natural to be trained.

"Don't forget, after you are Chang'an, since you stepped into the gate of this palace, it is destined that a bloodless war has begun. How many people in Manchang'an covet the gorse hairpin above your head and eyeing the position of the queen below you?

It's not that if you want to be kind to others, you don't want to fight, you don't want to rob, you can have peace in the world. Everyone wants to climb up, but there is only one back seat at the top, if you don't kick those ambitious people down, your queen's position will be occupied by others, and you, do you know your fate?

There was a well in the beekeeping tunnel, and all the souls of the palace who died in vain, unjustly, or sick had no place to be buried, but were burned into ashes and thrown into the dry well. Since ancient times, I don't know how many souls have been buried in that well.

If you lose the position of queen once you lose the position of queen, how many people want to fall into the well, then you have seen it with your own eyes. And you, because you stand tallest, end up worse than them.

If you want to live and live as the envy of others, you must be ruthless, hot-handed, decisive, unscrupulous, and leave your self-righteous loftiness behind, the first thing is to win the emperor's favor. This Forbidden City is the heart of the emperor, only if the emperor has you in his heart, there is a place for you in this palace. ”

Yuehua lowered her head and was silent, imagining what kind of humiliation she would suffer if she was shy and flattered in front of Mo Guhan.

"Yuehua, the mourning family thinks you know better than anyone else, the mourning family has worked hard, why did they let you enter the palace and let you be the queen of Chang'an? Opportunities are fleeting, like an arrow at your fingertips, you don't have much time, you have to seize it. While the mourning family can still help you now, hurry up and do what you should do and stand firm. Do you understand the painstaking efforts of the mourning family? ”

The Empress Dowager was both soft and hard, bitter and bitter, Yuehua nodded, lowered her eyelids, and did not dare to look up at her sharp eyebrows.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand at her and directly ordered the eviction: "Mama Qin will help you and tell you what you should do, and you can do it yourself." ”

Yuehua withdrew from Ci'an Palace, and suddenly felt that she, the most noble queen of the Chang'an Dynasty, was going to be like a woman in the dust of a green mansion and seduce her benefactor, which was so ironic.
