"Which Dong, which Wan?" I swallowed, a little incredulous.

"'Only Henan Fangci Law has always pitied Dong Tinglan' in Dong, and 'Driving the Eight Dragons is graceful, and the snake carrying the cloud flag' is graceful. How, do you know? Concubine Ke glanced at me with a smile, but there was not much emotion in her eyes, and she didn't take my surprise to heart.

"No, I don't know." I calmed down and shook my head.

Dong Wan, Dong Xiaowan, there is a difference in name. It is really difficult to distinguish between the word "Dong" and the word "Wan" with the same sound. I have some regrets. If I had known that I would "cross" earlier, then I would have memorized those history books by heart······ But if I had known that I would be able to cross, would I still stay in the Marriage Pavilion in peace?

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, it turns out that this is the so-called arrangement of fate.

"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country? It's hard to get ······ beauty." Concubine Ke seemed to have no intention of chanting softly. Suddenly, she raised the corners of her mouth, her smile was bright, and her watery eyes contained a faint and simple envy, "That is indeed an extremely beautiful woman, even I am ashamed of myself when I see it." At that time, there was no one in the harem who could match the weight in His Majesty's heart, not even me······"

There was a faint loss in her smile, her eyes dimmed, and she didn't say anything for a long time. I waited quietly, waiting for her to follow.

It was a long time before she whispered:

"Later, she died."

I nodded, and I had expected it. Now that the young emperor's harem is as beautiful as a cloud, if what Concubine Ke said is true, then Dong Wan should be "famous" now. But since no one has mentioned her, and no one outside the palace has heard of her, it means that she is dead, and her death is a taboo, the biggest taboo for the person who sits on the dragon chair.

"I don't know why, since she entered the palace, all the rules in the harem have been broken. There is no position but personal accompaniment, you don't have to go to anyone to say goodbye, you can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace at will, the emperor treats her better than anyone. Concubine Ke's tone has always been calm, but now there is a hint of bitterness. Although she did not want to be summoned by the emperor now, she locked herself within the vermilion palace walls, but she was ······ She should like Emperor Shunzhi, right? What can she do when she sees someone she likes but is hopeless and falls in love with another woman who is many times better than herself······

Apparently, she chose to remain silent. Because her husband does not belong to her alone, but to all the women of the harem, her love has become small and humble in countless greed for wealth and the pursuit of grace. What about the dignified concubine? is not as good as a woman who is not even an official woman.

"Dong Wan's talent and appearance are really outstanding. Looking back on those years, no one could make up one-tenth of it. Shi Qianyu sighed lightly and shook his head regretfully, "Although I don't have a deep relationship with her, I can be regarded as understanding." The emperor will like her, I will obey. ”

There was a deep helplessness in her expression, and I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to comfort her.

After all, I don't understand.

"What a 'life if it is only as first seen'·····" She lowered her eyes to hide the deep loneliness in her eyes. Picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly smiled, "This palace is really strange, to say this to a person who has only met you a few times." ”

If life is only as it first seems······

Nalan Rongruo's words!

"Mother's ······" I didn't pay attention to Shi Qianyu's self-deprecation, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the surging shock in my heart, "This word······ Is there a second half of the sentence? ”

"The second half?" Shi Qianyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, "I don't know about this palace." ”

"I don't know?" I was slightly surprised.

"Yes, I really don't know, even the emperor, the queen mother, the queen concubine and others, they don't know." Shi Qianyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, a little helpless, "Actually, this half sentence was said by her before she died many years ago. ”

She ······ How did he die? "It took me a long time to find my voice, and I was a little uneasy. She, Dong Wan, always felt that this person might be the same as me······

"She was poisoned by the Queen Mother on the grounds of red face and trouble."

It turned out that this was how she ended.

If life is only as it first seems······

What's the autumn wind sad painting fan.

Dong Wan······ Is this your fate?

"It's not early, so I'll go back first." Shi Qianyu stood up and looked at me with a smile.

She is still the gentle, virtuous, and tepid concubine.

I hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Concubine Congratulations to Niangniang." ”

"If you want to establish yourself, first get rid of internal troubles······" Concubine Ke glanced at me, and seemed to whisper, "And ······"

I didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly, and I didn't pay attention to it. But many years later, when I learned the content of this sentence at that time, it seemed that everything was a little late, but that was all for later. I owe, no more words, no verbal thanks. She understood what she meant before, my side······ There are inner ghosts.

Concubine Ke glanced at me, finally smiled bitterly, and left.

"Little Master ······" The three people I called over looked at each other, a little nervous except for the painting screen. Especially the light smoke, the body is a little trembling when I practice.

I didn't pay attention to them, just looked at them closely. What a reasoning question. Find an inner ghost among these three······ God knows what I'm going to find.

Maybe I had been "looking" for too long, but Light Smoke finally couldn't help it, stepped forward a few steps, hugged my legs, and cried, "Little master, don't blame the slave····· Slaves and maids are wronged! The slave and maid were wronged······"

I subconsciously stood up, frowned and said coldly, "You let go." ”

Light Yan let go of his hand in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly reacted, took a few steps back, and said in a panic, "The little master is angry!" ”

I accidentally caught a glimpse of the light smoke's hand, and suddenly my eyes lit up! These hands······

Looking at the flowing water painting screen, I am more sure of my guess. I sank my face and said coldly to Light Smoke, "Light Smoke, you don't need to pretend anymore." ”

The picture screen is still the same complexion; There was a strange emotion in the flowing water's eyes, but it was fleeting for a moment. I just happened to capture this, so I looked at the flowing water with a smile, and my face was still ugly for a moment.

Flowing Water seemed stunned for a moment, then looked at me calmly.

I sat down and continued to speak lightly, "Light smoke, how much benefit did the person behind you give you, and which 'mother' asked you to come." ”

I deliberately accentuated the word "Niangniang". There was a moment of surprise on the expression of light smoke, and there was an elusive emotion under the originally nervous look. I raised the corners of my mouth slightly and looked at her.

- I made the right bet.

"Little master, the slave really doesn't have ······" Light smoke kowtowed stiffly, her voice was the same as before, and after a while, a red mark appeared on her white forehead, "The slave swears allegiance to the little master, how dare you think about it!" ”

"Light smoke, how can you do this······ You and I know how the little master treats you and me! But you will take revenge······ It's chilling! Tears of flowing water slid down his face, "Little master, slave beg, please forgive the smoke." Maybe she's just confused······"

"Confused? Oh, what a momentary confusion! I think you're clearly ill-intentioned! I snapped the case and said angrily.

"The little lord is angry!" The low-ranking palace maids and eunuchs outside the door all knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Light smoke, you put your hand out." I spoke coldly.

"Yes······" The sound of the faint smoke is so low that it is almost inaudible.

With a "snap", I slammed into the light smoke's hand.

Everyone was shocked. Light Smoke's hands trembled uncontrollably, hanging his head and gritting his teeth.

"Smack"!

"Smack"!

There are three hits in total, and each time it is ruthless. I sneered, shook off the light cigarette's hand, and turned around and walked back to the inner room alone.
