In the leisurely hall, the door of the palace is hidden, step in, the courtyard is silent, only the main hall is still lit with a withered lamp, and the cigarette smoke curls up, like a wisp of silk.

Concubine Crane sat with her back to her, bathed in hazy light and shadow, her long hair was untied, draped on her shoulders like a shaved incense, and then dragged to the ground at her waist.

Mo Guhan walked in slowly, and saw that Concubine He was reciting Buddhist scriptures, holding prayer beads, closing her eyes and muttering, her face outside the veil was like porcelain, exuding a very soft halo, which looked particularly pious and holy.

"Coming back?" When Concubine Crane heard the footsteps, she spoke slowly, without looking back: "Those spiritual creatures are dying at the end of life, their lives are short, and they are already extremely pitiful, you don't want to catch them anymore, why don't you let them go free." ”

Mo Guhan stood quietly behind Concubine He: "I didn't expect Concubine Crane to be so compassionate now." ”

Concubine Crane was taken aback, suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw that it was Mo Guhan, she was surprised, and she was startled: "Your Majesty!" ”

She may have been sitting upright for a long time, and suddenly stood up, her body was staggering, her standing was unstable, and she was supported by Mo Guhan.

"The concubine doesn't know that the emperor is coming, and the concubine is guilty."

Mo Guhan laughed in a low voice: "It's okay to be idle, just walk around, don't make a fuss." ”

Concubine He hurriedly touched the veil on her face, a little panicked: "Why is there no slave outside to make a report, so that the concubine is so embarrassed and disheveled." ”

Mo Guhan turned his head to look at the empty and quiet courtyard outside: "Is it that the minions below are snubbing you?" Why is there no one waiting near us? ”

Concubine He's face darkened, the corners of her lips slowly bloomed with a wry smile, and she lowered her head: "The concubine is very good, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"It's a good thing to be kind, but don't indulge the people below too much, so that they don't take you as a master in their eyes."

Concubine Crane said softly: "The concubine is like this now, the emperor will not give up, let the concubine continue to stay in the palace, the concubine is already grateful, contented and happy, and the concubine feels that it is already excellent." ”

Mo Guhan smiled apologetically: "It's because I have snubbed you these days and made you suffer, and I will often come to see you in the future." ”

"Really?" Concubine Crane asked in surprise, her face full of unconcealable joy.

"You don't lie, is it possible that you will still lie to you?"

Concubine Crane almost cried with joy: "The concubine has an obsession with her body and mind, and it is difficult to give up the emperor's grace, I am afraid that she will never be able to reach the truly otherworldly realm of selflessness." ”

"Shi Cai listened to the song of Xian Cai, you have to chant until midnight every night, and you are not allowed to waste your body like this in the future."

Concubine Crane nodded: "Sincerity is spirituality, I just want to pray for the emperor more." ”

Mo Guhan comforted softly: "I naturally received my heart, but I should rest early." It's not early today, I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll come to see you another day. ”

Concubine Crane was full of joy, gentle and obedient, and sent Mo Guhan all the way out of the leisurely hall, leaning on the door of the palace, reluctant.

Xian Ge followed closely behind Concubine Crane all the way, and Mo Guhan did not forget to turn around and admonish: "You girl is clever, but remember to take care of your master, don't slack off, and I will be rewarded when I look back." ”

Xian Ge gave a blessing salute: "Xian Ge will definitely remember the emperor's orders." ”

Mo Guhan and Rong Xiang strode away into the dark night, and there were three or two fireflies surrounding Mo Guhan's back, lingering, igniting the hope of Concubine He.

Xian Ge pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Niangniang, it is not in vain that Niangniang has worked so hard, and she is finally going to be bitter." ”

Concubine Crane still felt as if she was in a dream, and was in a trance: "Really? It feels like this firefly in the sky, dying day and night, but the fire is difficult to last. ”

"Naturally, it's true, the mother didn't see the eyes of the emperor looking at you, it's very different from before."

Concubine Crane touched her sideburns: "You take the initiative to ask Ying to go out and guard, but you don't come in early to say hello, or cough lightly, hearing the emperor's footsteps, I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out." ”

"The maid was just stunned, and the emperor walked up to him unconsciously, and the maid didn't notice it, so frightened that his soul almost flew."

Xian Ge caressed his heart, looking like he had palpitations.

Concubine He's face was full of spring breeze, and she couldn't hide her joy between her eyebrows: "Everything else is fine, thanks to the early preparations, but it was too late today, and I couldn't keep the holy car, which is the most regrettable." ”

"No, mother, don't rush it. Now that the emperor has just changed his opinion of you, you must know how to retreat as advance, like the queen at the beginning, step by step, steady and steady. It's only a matter of time before the attendant goes to bed, but not yet. ”

Slender Song admonished in a soft voice.

"Didn't you say now is the best time to come out?" Concubine Crane asked suspiciously.

"That's true, now that the queen has been driven out of the palace, the emperor is empty. And the new favorite Chang Lingyan is too capable, after all, he can't be on the stage, and at most he can only be a concubine. Concubine Ling and Yajieyu framed the queen at the beginning, and the emperor's anger has not subsided, I believe that it is not easy to turn over, only Niangniang is blessed.

What's more, now is the time for the snipe and the clam to fight, Chang Lingyan and Concubine Ling are-for-tat every day, tossing and turning, and the emperor is even more disgusted. As long as you can calm down and be generous, it's not hard to stand out.

It's just that don't rush for quick success, so that the emperor can notice that you have a plan. You must continue to maintain this kind of detached temperament, and you must endure the sarcasm of Concubine Lian and Concubine Ling in every possible way, and completely change the emperor's prejudice against you, so that it can be a matter of course. ”

Concubine Crane nodded thoughtfully: "What you said is very reasonable, this palace listens to you." We must take the opportunity to fight a beautiful turnaround, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past. This time, thanks to your idea, remember to give some silver taels to the two little eunuchs tomorrow, they have worked hard to collect these firefly eggs. Also, you must tell the two of them to keep their mouths shut and don't leak the news. ”

Xian Ge nodded nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this matter, even if others know that we have intentionally raised these fireflies?" The emperor was attracted here, and we didn't seduce him, and they couldn't say that we didn't come. ”

Concubine Crane raised her eyes to look at the Golden Bird Terrace that was high and far away in the cold night, and sighed leisurely: "Standing there, you can look directly at the north city gate, it seems that the emperor still remembers the queen." ”

"The more you don't forget, the more it shows that the emperor is a nostalgic person, and the mother has a better chance of winning. The two emperors and queens are already in knots, and no one will give in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to eliminate. ”

Concubine Crane nodded, turned her face to look at the excited and red-faced slender song, took out a purple hosta from the cuff, and inserted it into the bun for the slender song: "There are many rules in the palace, you palace people can't wear golden hairpins, let alone too public, only this hairpin is still more or less plain, and the color is good, you can wear it in the sky, and it is the most supportive." ”

Xian Ge happily thanked her: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Concubine He looked at her with satisfaction, and smiled kindly: "Don't worry, you are loyal to this palace, and you are the female Zhuge of this palace, and this palace will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Since then, Mo Guhan really came to the Leisurely Hall from time to time to accompany her to have a meal, or to talk about a game.

This is a grace that has never been seen before. In the past, Mo Guhan rarely set foot in the palace of the concubines in the harem, let alone have such leisure and leisure.

This is something she has not dared to hope for since her appearance was ruined.

In the past few days, Concubine Ling and Chang Lingyan have been going back and forth, endlessly, which has caused Mo Guhan great annoyance. He explained softly, detached from the world, and tolerated Chang Lingyan and Concubine Ling's sarcasm in every possible way, and finally changed Mo Guhan's opinion of himself.

Mo Guhan didn't mean to summon her to sleep, and she never kept her.

Mo Guhan's attitude confirmed Xinge's words, and Concubine He once again felt that this girl had a very clear grasp of people's psychology and weaknesses. If he can have her loyal help, coupled with the power of his mother's family, it is not impossible to dominate the harem.

It's just that Concubine Crane looked at the delicately drawn eyebrows and eyes of Siange, and her heart responded.

At the beginning, there was already a Jun Shuyuan, who was clever enough to dedicate her to Mo Guhan, and now she has become the laughing stock of the entire harem. As a lesson from the past, she will never tolerate a second person climbing up on her.

The most slender song is born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, graceful and delicate, slender figure, waist like willow, from the back, there is a bit of the queen's demeanor.

These days, Mo Guhan frequently goes in and out of the Leisurely Palace, although Xian Ge obeys the rules and can't find fault with anything, but the sensitive Concubine Crane still senses a clue.

For example, Xian Ge hid a sachet in her sleeve, and whenever she served tea, there was a dark fragrance between her cuffs, which made people involuntarily feel that she was warm and fragrant. Also, her fat powder rouge has been significantly changed, and it is more delicate than the one she used before.

These subtleties made Concubine Crane suddenly vigilant. She was worried that while Xian Ge was making suggestions for herself, she was also planning a bright future for herself.

She sent Mo Guhan away, put away the endgame on the case little by little, thoughtfully.

Xian Ge approached, holding the jade box containing the chess pieces in his hand: "Today, the emperor's vision of the mother is obviously different, the maid thinks, you can find an opportunity to take off the face towel covering the face and give the emperor a surprise." ”

Concubine Crane touched her face through the light veil: "Bengong suddenly felt that it really didn't matter what this appearance was." Hongyan is just a snap of his fingers, but he still has a gentle temperament, so he can capture the emperor's heart. ”

Xian Ge nodded: "Niang Niang Mingjian, those who have been favored by the emperor all his life and praised by all the people in the history books are still the virtuous concubines and virtuous queens in the world." ”

Concubine He's eyebrows faded from the original harshness, and she was much more gentle and docile: "Thanks to your reminder, this palace cultivates self-cultivation and studies Buddhism, and now many things are much more dull, and I won't worry about it anymore, just let everything go naturally." In the future, we should also uphold the teachings of Buddhism, be kind to others, and accumulate virtue for ourselves. ”
