Chuxiu Palace in the side hall

Wang Tianru looked at the few words he had just written on the table, felt extremely ugly, and reached out to rub and pull it on the ground.

"Little master, let's have a cup of tea." Shumo brought hot tea over, and leaned the charcoal stove that had been placed farther away to Wang Tianru's side, wanting her to be warmer.

Wang Tianru watched her movements, only felt upset, and accused: "You don't have to put it here for me, it's not much warmer left and right." In the past, I lived in the largest dormitory of Chuxiu Palace, and I didn't feel cold in winter. Now there are so many fewer cases all of a sudden, and even the charcoal fire can't use the red basket carbon of the past, just a little black charcoal at the end. The smoke and dust are also heavy, and the room is not airtight, so it is uncomfortable. You take it farther, I don't like it. ”

I'd rather be frozen, she doesn't want to be choked.

Shumo had no choice but to move the charcoal basin back to its original place, put the kettle on it, and boil a pot of hot water to get her a hand stove.

Wang Tian was as comfortable as in the past, even when he first entered the palace, he was always in the position, and he had never been wronged today. But what could she? If you can't bear it, don't compromise, and don't stammer them, I'm afraid that you should accompany Tong Ruofei on Huangquan Road at this time.

Wang Tianru is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that if she dies, the Wang family will have nothing to rely on. At least, she's still alive and has a chance to start over.

"The little lord is overjoyed." Orange ran in, made a thousand calls at Wang Tianru, and said respectfully: "The queen mother decreed that the little lord was exempted from the grounding, and the emperor also agreed." ”

Wang Tianru was happy in his heart, as long as he could get out of this door, everything would have a chance. Fortunately, there is also the Empress Dowager Renxian who thought of her good, was willing to speak for her, and solved her predicament.

No matter how hard the days are, Wang Tianru can endure it. But if you live without life, there is no point. Although she also wants to live peacefully, she has no choice but to fight in the harem. So, she had to rely on something.

Tong Ruofei is gone, and she can't really get Chunxi's trust. After all, the damage in the past was too great, and they were not hostile, which was already good. Why do you expect people to be nice to you again?

"The emperor decreed earlier that the harem concubines should go to Cining Palace every day to set the province in the morning and dusk. The little master should also prepare, and he still needs to go to Cining Palace to thank him. Somo was also excited.

Wang Tianru responded: "It's okay, dress up for me." ”

Everything was cleaned up, and as soon as Wang Tianru walked out of the door of her dormitory, she saw Zhang Jiachuzhen coming out of her own dormitory.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen was dressed in a green robe, with a cloak of the same color on the outside, and the golden embroidery was very dazzling in the sun. On the other hand, Wang Tianru is wearing old clothes from the past. Because of the confinement, no one sent the winter clothes that she should have, and Shumo went to the Internal Affairs Office to ask for it, but there was no result.

Zhang Jia Chuzhen is upright and young, and he is very favored, and the things he uses are not what he should have in his position. For a while, her gorgeous clothes made Wang Tianru even more gloomy.

Wang Tianru wanted to avoid it, but Zhang Jia Chuzhen walked over with a smile on purpose.

"Sister, where are you going?" Zhang Jiachuzhen greeted him with a smile, not caring about Wang Tianru's indignation.

Wang Tianru replied coldly: "Cining Palace." ”

Zhang Jiachu Zhenjiao laughed, looked at her and said, "Yes, I heard that the Empress Dowager has lifted your grounding sister." Now it's time to go to Shane. Look, it's not too early at this hour, I should also go to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, why don't we go together? ”

Wang Tianru replied indifferently: "It's still not necessary, you and I are facing the sky, and we will go to one side." If the well water does not interfere with the river water, it is very good. ”

Seeing that Wang Tian didn't want to pay attention to himself like this, Zhang Jiachuzhen was not annoyed, and still smiled and said, "Sister, where are you talking about this?" You and I used to be masters and servants, but now we are both emperors and concubines, serving the emperor together, how can we go out of two ways? My sister is just demoted now, and it's not impossible to be favored and reset in the future? Zhen'er has the heart to befriend her sister, why should her sister refuse to be thousands of miles away? ”

Wang Tianru didn't want to talk nonsense with her at all, just looked at her indifferently, listened to her say a lot, and then turned around and walked to the side.

Zhang Jiachuzhen was stunned, but she didn't expect Wang Tianru to do this. When he came back to his senses, he smiled and said to himself: "If you don't know how to lift up like this, you will suffer sooner or later." Do you not want to fight, or do you dare not fight again? ”

Out of Chuxiu Palace, on the way to Cining Palace, I saw a panicked little palace maid, stuffed a note into her hand, and ran away.

Wang Tianru opened it and looked at it, and his face changed greatly.

When I entered Cining Palace, I happened to meet Chunxi who came out of it. Wang Tian paid homage consciously, but forgot that he was not a concubine for a long time, so he failed to kneel and salute according to the rules, and only half-squatted down to salute.

Chun Xi glanced at her, ignored it, and walked away.

"Thank you, Concubine Yi." Wang Tianru reacted to his rudeness and hurriedly knelt down.

After a pause, he turned around and looked at Wang Tianru, who was kneeling not far away. She took a few steps back, stood in front of Wang Tianru, and then asked her, "What are you thanking this palace?" ”

"Xie Niangniang's grace not to kill." Wang Tianru is calm.

The corners of her lips hooked up with a smile, and she said, "That's not necessary, you deserve it for your righteousness." Those who know the times are junjie, and you understand this truth very well. The king promised that he would be more peaceful in the future, and that he would not have the same character as before. It's annoying that this palace is small.,If it's someone else, you won't have such good luck.。 Whether the Queen Mother's blessing is good or bad, you weigh it yourself. ”

After speaking, Chunxi no longer gave Wang Tianru a chance to speak, turned around and left.

Wang Tianru stood up, and Shumo hurriedly patted the dust on her body for her, a little unhappy: "Why should the little master be submissive to Concubine Yi." ”

"You don't understand, the situation in this palace has changed dramatically. In a short period of time, Concubine Yi is a living bodhisattva who can't be moved. Friendship with her is good luck. If you go against her, it will only end miserably. Wang Tianru looked at Chunxi's back and explained in a low voice: "If there is no one in the harem who can match her, she will only climb higher and higher." Today I show weakness, and I will promise before her in the future. I was an enemy in the past, and if I am an enemy in the future, I really have no place to stay in this palace. ”

Wang Tianru remembered the note that the little palace maid had stuffed into her palm before, and sighed again in her heart.

After talking to the Empress Dowager Renxian for a while, Wang Tianru understood that a few days ago, Concubine Shuhui had a conflict with her. I also understood the meaning of that note.

Wang Tianru smiled unconsciously, she had just lifted the grounding, but was she going to become a pawn again? He didn't even give her a chance to breathe.

"You go back first, I want to go alone." When he was about to return to Chuxiu Palace, Wang Tianru instructed Shumo and went to the imperial garden alone.

When I met Concubine Shuhui, she was admiring plum blossoms in the snowflakes.

Wang Tianru got closer, moved the umbrella in his hand to Concubine Shuhui's head, and said softly: "Concubine Niangniang asked me to meet at this hour, aren't you afraid of being seen and suspicious?" ”

Concubine Shuhui turned her head to look at her and said, "It's snowing, the mourning family came out to enjoy the snow." The king promised to come to the Imperial Garden for a walk, to relieve the pain of the confinement for half a year, and to meet here and say a few words. Who would doubt it? What's more, at this hour, all the palaces are busy. It's almost the New Year, the palace maids and eunuchs are already busy, and this time is the time for the masters to eat, who has time to come to the imperial garden? ”

Wang Tianru smiled slightly and asked, "What does the concubine Niangniang command?" ”

"This time, you were used by Concubine Yi to bring down Queen Xiaoyi, and you were able to protect yourself, and the mourning family is very happy for you." Concubine Shuhui said: "Since you entered the palace, the mourning family has also used you to do a lot of things. Now that you have lifted the grounding, Concubine Yi will not embarrass you, but can live a leisurely life for a while. It's just that the mourning family has one thing to do here, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the mourning family guarantees that it will be the last time to use you. After this incident, the mourning family and you should have never had a friendship. ”

Wang Tianru knew that Concubine Shuhui must be looking for her for the Empress Dowager Renxian, after all, the only one who could make her unhappy in this palace was probably the sister who was the Empress Dowager. It's just that Wang Tianru didn't expect that Concubine Shuhui would be willing to let her go.

There must be something dangerous about one thing, otherwise how could Concubine Shuhui be willing to give such a big benefit.

After listening to what Concubine Shuhui asked her to do, Wang Tianru finally understood why Concubine Shuhui was willing to let her go.

It turned out that this was the last hole card for Concubine Shuhui to deal with the Empress Dowager Inhun. If it happens this time, there will be no return.

It is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, but Wang Tianru feels that the most vicious is the heart of these nominal relatives.

Take a look at what Chun Yin did to Chun Xi at the beginning, and then take a look at Tong Ruohua's betrayal of Tong Ruofei not long ago, and now what Concubine Shuhui asks her to do for a breath and for her own comfort.

"It's a deal." Wang Tianru heard himself say: "The concubine has to talk about it, I will do my best to deal with this matter, as for the result, I can't be sure now." At least, it won't be worse than it is now. ”

"The specific details are in this letter, and you should burn it after reading it. Don't leave any evidence, if the mourning family is implicated by you, the mourning family will ask the entire Wang family to be buried together. Concubine Shuhui's indifferent expression was like a sharp blade, cutting her heart with a knife.

Wang Tianru shuddered, she had never seen such a Shuhui concubine.

Wang Tianru is not interested in the grudge between Concubine Shuhui and Empress Dowager Inhun, but she longs for freedom. In the past, because of Concubine Shuhui's orders, she had to curry favor with the Empress Dowager Renxian and had to obey Tong Ruofei's words. Now, Tong Ruofei is dead, Wang Tianru is no longer at her mercy, and there is a way out.

However, the Empress Dowager Inheon had just rescued her from the predicament of her grounding, so how could she be ungrateful?

She didn't want to, but she had no choice.

She couldn't help herself when she entered the palace, let alone now. Wang Tianru only hoped that the Empress Dowager Renxian would not lose too badly, otherwise she would not be able to do well.

How can we hide people's eyes and ears and achieve the orders of Concubine Shuhui, and also protect the Empress Dowager Renxian? This has become Wang Tianru's biggest problem, and she must plan well. One wrong step, maybe she didn't even have a chance to start over.
