Chapter 8 The mist thickens and the words get cooler

"This person is just like a cat, he looks innocent and cute, but if he scratches someone, he can kill you!" Dugu Mengyao snorted coldly: "If a woman is too beautiful, she is close to a demon, and this palace can be regarded as eliminating harm to the harem." ”

Ronghua immediately flattered: "What Niangniang said is that the little ones you ordered have already been prepared. ”

"That's good" Dugu Mengyao's hand twisted, the cat immediately snorted in pain, Dugu Mengyao's eyes were a little hideous: "What is the emperor taboo in his mouth, what does he care about in his heart, you, I and the one in Yongning Palace are clear, and we must get rid of her before Leng Hanzhi makes a move!" ”

"Yes, Niang Ming." Ronghua smiled flatteringly.

"Wise?" Dugu Mengyao smiled as if self-deprecatingly: "If I were wise, I wouldn't have sat on my head by that slut!" That's it, now that hibiscus flower is the biggest threat to this palace! ”

"Niangniang rest assured, this time is foolproof, and there will be only Niangniang as a peony flower in this harem."

"I hope so, it's a matter of time before her face is favored, you and I understand the emperor's heart, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future! Isn't she smart, let's see if she can handle this blow. Dugu Mengyao said coldly.

"God bless Niangniang, you will get what you want."

Dugu Mengyao looked at him with a very contemptuous smile, she slowly walked to the mirror and carefully traced her eyebrows.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", Dugu Mengyao smashed the pear wood bronze mirror in front of him, and Ronghua was startled and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Dugu Mengyao looked at herself in the broken mirror, her delicate eyebrows and eyes, charming and heroic, and for a moment Dugu Mengyao's eyes showed a light of disgust, but then she showed a perfect smile again.

"Let's go, the emperor is still waiting for the palace in Hanyuan Palace."

Dugu Mengyao held her head high and walked out of Kunde Palace proudly.

It was raining heavily outside the window, and the white mist and dense rain curtain gradually blurred the nine-fold palace, and the golden glass lamp also swished with the cold wind.

When Changge woke up, it was already dusk, and after drinking ginger soup and falling asleep, Changge felt that his whole body seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

Banxia served her and got out of bed, put on a thick cotton coat, and put a few soft cushions on the collapse, and then carried the porridge to feed Changge.

After only half eating, I saw Lu Yuzhen walking in anxiously.

"You're worried about me, okay?" Lu Yuzhen asked while untying her cloak.

"It's raining outside?" Changge saw that Yuzhen's cloak was a little wet, so he asked

Yuzhen touched Changge's forehead: "Fortunately, there is no fever, it was raining when I came out just now, and today the queen has a few new concubines to eat, and I can't shirk it, so I can come to see you at this moment." ”

"It's okay, sister" Changge held her hand: "You just said that the queen mother left you to eat?" ”

Yuzhen sighed, a little worried; "I was about to tell you about this, the queen's move was intended to win over a few of us, but now Dugu is very powerful, if she knows about it, it will be ...... in the future."

Changge nodded and listened, only to feel that it was really a wise move for him not to ask for peace today, Dugu Mengyao had already made her a little afraid of her inexplicable killing intent, if she knew that the queen wanted to win her over again, with her current status, I am afraid that she would only lose her life.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Yuzhen saw that Changge had not replied, so she asked.

Changge came back to his senses and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what the queen is doing this for?" ”

"I can't guess either, maybe I want to cultivate my own chess pieces, after all, this harem is the only one who is big, and if she doesn't have a few of her own people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect this back position." Yuzhen frowned slightly.

"Maybe, if you look up to people's breath, it will be sad in the future." Changge let out a long sigh.

Who knew that Yuzhen suddenly turned her head and smiled: "This may not be." ”

"Why did my sister say that?"

"My sister doesn't know, every year on December 25, there will be a riding and archery competition, it is said that the Huimin concubine was an arrow to hit the hat of Emperor Xiaoming and won the favor in one fell swoop."

"Oh? How can there be such interesting activities in this palace? Changge asked curiously with interest.

Yuzhen covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes, it's a pity that my father didn't let me ride a horse since I was a child, seeing that my sister is so interested, do you also want to emulate Concubine Huimin back then?" ”

"Sister, don't laugh at my sister, my riding skills are just scratching the surface."

"Sister, you can also ride a horse?" Yuzhen was a little incredulous

Changge lowered his head and was a little embarrassed, this equestrian technique was still taught by Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong was good at riding, and at that time he thought that he was just teaching him on a whim, but now it seems that he was afraid that he would be ready for the current plan at that time, Changge couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, but he also replied: "My father taught for a few years when he was young, but he was not good at learning and only had some superficial kung fu. ”

"Oh, it turns out that now" Yuzhen's face seemed to be a little relaxed: "That sister should seize this opportunity at that time, the emperor went out to conquer the outside of the Saiwai in the early years, and he was very interested in this riding technique, if my sister can get the Sacred Heart in one fell swoop, it will be beneficial to you and me." ”

Changge understood what she meant, it was better to be in charge of her own decisions than to look up to others, but ...... For some reason, a trace of astringency slipped in my heart: "Having said that, after all, people are not as good as heaven, who knows if we will be busy in vain?" ”

"As long as you go, you won't." Yuzhen said a little distractedly.

Changge was puzzled: "Why? ”

Yuzhen looked at her, and suddenly showed a very melancholy smile: "Because my sister believes in you." ”

Changge was puzzled, and was about to speak when he saw Chen and Qin walk in.

"I've seen Baolin, Yushu, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone over." Chen Youqin glanced at Changge and said softly.

"Oh? Let them in. Changge said with a little curiosity.

"The slave Jiang Ruhai has seen Baolin, Yushu, may the two masters be blessed and healthy."

Changge looked up, and saw a thin and shrewd-looking man leading a little palace maid who was still in the age of the golden hairpin and walked in.

"Manager Jiang, why did you send me such a delicate and handsome little palace maid?" Changge asked slowly.

Jiang Ruhai rolled his eyes and said a little perfunctorily: "Concubine Han heard that you were not feeling well today, so I thought that I was afraid that these dog slaves would not serve you well, so I asked the little one to send you a clever one to take care of you. ”

"Thank you for your concern, how dare I be?" Long song with a different tone of reply.

Jiang Ruhai "coughed", and said with some contempt: "What Gu Baolin said, the concubine said that you can be a good person, and besides, this is specially sent to you by the mother, this blessing is not even thought of by others!" You can take it. ”

"In this case, then I have to accept it with a cheeky face." Changge seemed grateful.

"That person has been delivered, the little one is now retired, by the way, Niangniang, this Xiwen cooking skills are very good, Niangniang can let her cook whatever she wants." Jiang Ruhai lowered his head and said.

Changge raised his hand to call Chen and Qin: "Manager Jiang has a heart." With Qin, send Mr. Jiang out. ”

After Jiang Ruhai left, only the girl named Xiwen was left in the same place, Changge saw her biting her lip and seemed to be very scared, Changge took a sip of tea and said: "Yidong, go and arrange a place for Xiwen to live, don't let people bully her." ”

Yidong led the order to go out, and Yuzhen opened his mouth to ask Changgedao; "This Dugu Mengyao is too ......"

"She can't tolerate me anymore" Changge said coldly: "But I still don't understand, I have never threatened her, but why does she always have an inexplicable hatred for me?" ”

Yuzhen looked at her and stopped talking, and finally said: "Perhaps, maybe my sister's beauty threatens her, or maybe ......"

"Sister, the two of us are not only sisters in the palace, but also rely on each other to support each other, if you have anything to say, you might as well tell me." Changge knew that Yuzhen didn't tell the truth, so he opened his mouth and said slowly.

Yu Zhen thought for a long time before she spoke: "This is also from my brother, next year the Leng family master will come down from the position of the left minister, the emperor has now set three candidates, except for the second young master of the Dugu family, Master Gu is one of them." Besides, my sister is beautiful and beautiful, if Uncle Gu is sitting in this position of left minister, I'm afraid it will ......"

Before she finished speaking, Changge understood what she meant, and couldn't help but have a plan in her heart, it turned out that this Gu Qingsong had already made plans when he adopted him. He had no intention of competing for favor, but the current situation in the palace made Changge a little cold.

"That's the case, then we have a battle with Dugushi." Changge said coldly.

Seeing that her face was not good, Yuzhen hurriedly comforted: "Sister doesn't need to worry, fortunately, we now know how to prevent it, by the way, there is one more thing that I almost forgot." ”

"What's the matter?" Long Song raised his head.

Yuzhen took a sip of tea, looked at the cinnabar mole between Changge's eyebrows and said: "Zhou Jieyu complained about the dilapidated palace today but did not dismantle it, which damaged the royal prestige. ”

Hearing Yuzhen's words, Changge was shocked, except for Concubine Han, Zhou Jieyu was the most favored, but he didn't expect to be punished so tragically just because he said a word. "Isn't there something else in this Forgotten Worry Palace?" Thinking that he had secretly been here, Changge couldn't help but secretly rejoice that nothing major had happened.

"It doesn't mean anything else." Yuzhen's expression seemed a little melancholy: "This Forget Worry Palace was originally Princess Yunning's residence in the palace. ”

"Princess Yunning? This Dongyue has been respecting the rhyme word since the rhyme true queen, and ordinary people are not allowed to use this word, how? Changge was slightly puzzled

Yuzhen shook her head, and there was a bit of guilt in her tone: "This Princess Yunning is the youngest daughter of the emperor's sister-in-law, Princess Lingqing, and General Lin Rongjun, who grew up with the emperor since childhood, and the two have also traveled with General Lin to many places. ”

"The emperor was so ruthless?"

"Alas, the eldest princess of Lingqing and the former prince are the same mother, although the prince is dead, how can the first emperor tolerate his sister?" Yuzhen said with regret

I also heard Guo talk about this old royal song when I was in Jiangnan......
