The days passed smoothly, Liu gradually since that night turned over the brand of Li Guifei, he did not turn over any of the concubine's brand, the new palace An Concubine, Zhuang Concubine, Li Concubine and De Concubine are now very close to the Queen Mother, and they are also very respectful to the queen, they all know that if there is no backer in the harem, they don't even know how to die. And the deep palace is indeed lonely, a long day, and I don't know how to pass the time, they were originally the pearls of their parents' palms, and they were pampered, but now they have been snubbed after entering the palace, which is enough for them to be sad. But fortunately, the emperor is focused on state affairs, so that he is not a lover of the palace, not a single favorite, otherwise their father and brother will have opinions.

The Queen Mother also knew the reason why they gathered in front of her every day, so when she asked for peace on this day, she said: "Although state affairs are important, the harem is your home, if you are too cold, it will lead to resentment, the family will not be peaceful, and you will not be able to concentrate on state affairs, so you should be spoiled or pampered, and what should be rewarded should be rewarded." ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and said, "Erchen knows it in his heart. ”

The Queen Mother didn't know what was on his mind, thinking that it was a situation that was difficult to dismantle in state affairs, so she said: "There are some things, but you can rely on Prime Minister Qingwang and Mo Li, they are loyal to you, you don't have to do everything yourself, you are not an iron man, don't break your body when you turn around." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Erchen knows." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Although the mourning family only asks about the affairs of the court, but they also know some, you accept the concubines into the palace, originally to envelop their father and brother, if they are not at peace in the harem, their father and brother must not have the heart to do things for the court, the pros and cons of this, you weigh it yourself." The mourning family now doesn't know what you're thinking in your heart, it's about to be the year of establishment, there is still no imperial heir, the imperial heir is the foundation of the Liu surname, the mourning family thinks of this every day, and they are anxious, and they don't know what our Liu family has done wrong, the heirs will be so weak, and it is not as good as the generation. ”

This is also a thing that the emperor is quite anxious about, the emperor's heir has not been in a day, and he has Nan'an in his heart. originally thought that if King Jing could marry a wife and have children, even if he had no heirs, he would be able to justifiably hand over the country to King Jing's son. But King Jing doesn't even have a princess now, let alone a son. The king of the town and the king of Qing have a queen, but he is selfish after all, because the king of Qing and the king of the town are both negligent after all.

It's just that if there is no way at that time, he can only choose one of the two families and become the crown prince.

After he returned, he still did not turn over the cards, but only rewarded the palaces with a lot of things and announced a decree to appease. When the palaces received the reward, they naturally rejoiced, and they felt that the days were hopeful.

Mao Leyan naturally received a reward, since this is something that every palace has, her share is also indispensable. Xiao Shu read the list, "A cloud brocade silk, a set of colorful gold silk headdresses, two jade bracelets, and a pearl chain in the East China Sea......."

"Okay, don't read it, Xiao Shu Fan Erlawei, you see what you like, take it." Mao Leyan said a little irritably.

Xiao Shu's eyes widened, "Miss, this is not good, this is the emperor's reward for you....."

Mao Leyan interrupted her, "Since it was given to me, it is mine, and I will give my things to whoever I love, if you don't want it, I will give it to people outside the palace." ”

Xiao Shu hurriedly said: "Don't be, we want to, let's put it first, put it in the jewelry box, and if the young lady wants to bring it in the future, just take it from the jewelry box." "How can such a precious thing be given to people casually, so that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother know, I am afraid that it will cause some trouble.

Mao Leyan sighed: "Fool, you have been with me for so long, you have never given you anything, you are all independent people, everything is for your own sake, what I give you, you take it, if I have something in the future, you have some savings, you don't have to live in embarrassment." ”

Xiao Shu's face froze, "Miss, don't talk nonsense, what will happen to you?" Besides, we are already very lucky to be by Miss's side, we don't need to give us anything, as long as Miss is good, it will be our blessing. After that, she picked out some things that were not very valuable, and took them out to the people who served outside the palace, saying that it was rewarded by Mao Leyan, and the people outside the hall were naturally grateful.

Fan Er went out and brought a lot of pastries, and said, "Miss, these osmanthus cakes are for the guards outside, but what else is there to reward them?" ”

Before Mao Leyan could speak, Lawei said: "Fan'er, take out a pot of the aged wine that was rewarded by the Queen Mother, and let them drink it when they are not on duty, and also take out some of the cloud legs that King Jing gave to Miss." ”

Mao Leyan saw that the three of them were constantly building relationships for themselves, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. She sighed slightly in her heart, why should she be unhappy about something? At least you have gained more than you have lost. She smiled and said, "Just according to what Lawei said, Lawei, you are a man, and you can chat with other guards more, so you can grow a more manly temperament." ”

Lawei smiled and said: "Lawei feels that she is already a man, miss, don't worry, Lawei will protect you in the future." ”

Mao Leyan patted him on the shoulder and said movingly: "Okay, let Lawei protect me in the future." ”

Fan Er smiled, "Forget it, Miss, he can't take care of himself, don't count on him." ”

Lawei straightened his waist, he seemed to be a lot taller during this time, his face began to be angular, his eyes were clear, and he had a bit of the charm of a beautiful man, he put his hand on Fan'er's shoulder, and said seriously: "Fan'er, don't be jealous, I will protect you in the future." ”

Fan'er's face turned red suddenly, she took a sip, and said shyly: "Who wants you to protect?" Go, go, hurry up and get the wine! ”

Mao Leyan was overjoyed, it seems that this pair of children is a happy couple again. She breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was Fan Er and Lawei, although they were a little younger, they would cultivate a relationship with them for a few years, and it would be okay to stay together in the future. I have been observing Lawei for so long, and I know that he is a real person, who can endure hardships, is not afraid of grievances, has responsibilities, and is a good boy.

Liu Yan hadn't been here for a long time, and to be honest, she really wanted to see him, but she was afraid to see him. Now the identity is embarrassing, and I don't know what to say to him. She thought that Mo Li probably didn't tell him about her going to Jingwang's Mansion that day, and for Mo Li, she actually had a mixed reputation, admiring him at the same time, she was a little disgusted with him pressing forward like a tiger. After a few days, the emperor finally flipped the cards. This time it's Concubine Liu Yiyi. Mao Leyan knew that sooner or later there would be this day, but in fact, she didn't spoil Liu Yiyi until now, she already felt that it was too late.

After the will came down, Liu Yiyi bathed and dressed up, and under the dress, she came to Zhaoyang Hall to see Mao Leyan. It's not that she wants to show off, but she is also very aggrieved in her heart. I was looking forward to this moment, but when she really turned over her brand, she only had grievances in her heart.

Mao Leyan stood under the west window in a single dress, quietly looking at the virtuous concubine who came in full costume. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Liu Yiyi said, "Tonight, I don't want to go." ”

Mao Leyan was a little surprised, "Why?" Isn't that what you've been waiting for? ”

Liu Yiyi said bitterly: "I thought it was, but when the will came down, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart." I deceived myself into thinking that I could share him with a lot of people, as long as I could stay with him. But now, it dawned on me that I couldn't, and that I would rather stay by his side and watch him pamper the other women than be one of the many women in his bed. At least I didn't go to his bed for a day, and I was still the woman who was willing to silently guard him and love him deeply, and did not give up her principles. Mao Leyan, do you think I'm stupid? ”

Mao Leyan's heart is sad, Liu Yiyi is very stupid, isn't she like this? Falling in love with the emperor is destined to be a tragedy. After being silent for a while, she said silently: "Maybe you are stupid, but what woman with love in her heart is not stupid?" You can't accept that you are one of his many women, for fear that you will end up like other women, just waiting for him to come all day long, and lose yourself. ”

Liu Yiyi stood side by side with her, looking at the bleak slanting sun outside the window, and said faintly: "I, just know that it's good to guard him like this." ”

Mao Leyan's heart suddenly weakened, and he also said in the same faint voice: "I don't know how long I can stay here, such days are too torturous, even if I know that some things will happen, but I am outside, I can't see the lunch, it's better than having to face it every day." ”

Liu Yiyi was speechless, and in the end, she left silently.

That night, when did she go, when Mao Leyan heard Xiao Shu come back to report, she only hummed softly, all of this was within her expectations, Liu Yiyi loved him so much, no matter how unwilling she was in her heart, she still couldn't convince herself to disobey him. Seeking perfection is the most obvious theme in love.

When she was a child, she still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning on the bed, remembering what King Jing said, knowing that she would have to face a lot of such days in the future, and it was useless to care.

Mo Li came to Zhaoyang Palace, and heard Xiao Shu say that Mao Leyan fell asleep, so he left silently. Outside the Zhaoyang Palace, he played the flute for about half an hour, which broke Mao Leyan's heart.

Mao Leyan got up and asked Xiao Shu to invite Mo Li in.

She wore a green coat, ordered someone to prepare soju, and then invited Mo to leave the temple. Mo Li walked in slowly, glanced at her with complicated eyes, and asked, "Can't you sleep?" There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Mao Leyan's face was a little pale, and he raised his eyes to look at him, "You have been playing the flute outside my hall for so long, and the noise is like a frog, how can I sleep?" ”

Mo Li saw that she would still laugh, his face was a little softer, he sat at the table, looked at the wine and food she ordered to be served, and said with a smile: "How do you know that I am hungry?" ”

"It's me who is hungry." Mao Leyan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and the spicy soju slid down his throat and stomach from his mouth, causing a burning heat.
