Everything that happened on the long street quickly spread to the Yikun Palace. At that time, Chunxi was chatting with Du Ruo, drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Mother, it's funny. Hua Concubine and Jing Concubine have been in such a-for-tat confrontation since the day they entered the palace. Now, more than ever. Du Ruo said with a smile while making tea: "But the Yuan who has been following Concubine Jing promised, and he has a calm personality." I don't talk much on weekdays, just be myself quietly. and does not compete with others for favor, nor does he deliberately flatter and please. ”

"Look, you really like Yuan's promise?" When it comes to Yuan Que, Chunxi's image of her is very shallow, and at most she can only remember such a person, but she doesn't know what she looks like. I can still remember the time when they first entered the palace and came to Yikun Palace.

"I often see her come to Changchun Palace, and I can understand more or less." Du Ruo smiled: "It's a pity that such a character didn't follow the right person." Concubine Jing couldn't bring her any benefits and let her be left out in the deep palace. ”

"It's not easy for Concubine Jing to continue to enjoy everything now, how can she have such a ability, so that Yuan Yu can also be favored. The left and right only reminded the emperor of two sentences, and gave Yuan a chance to promise a few times to go to bed. Otherwise, don't think about it again. Chun Xi smiled and said slowly: "It's Concubine Hua, this palace has always felt that she is different from the surface." As for the difference, Hongu didn't figure it out. ”

"Maybe the slave can solve the girl's doubts." Mu Hui gradually approached, said hello to Chunxi and Du Ruo, and said, "The slave maid just learned a piece of news from Lord Oro Dai. I believe that I can let Niangniang see the blue sky through the clouds. ”

"Tell me about it." Hearing this, Chun Xi hurriedly asked.

"Fang Cai slave maid heard Lord Oro Dai say that when Concubine Hua had not yet entered the palace, it was not the same as now." Mu Hui said: "Before entering the palace, Concubine Hua knew books and etiquette, knew music and rhythm, read poetry and books, and was a talented woman. But after entering the palace, his temperament changed greatly, which was completely different from the past. Lord Oro Dai felt that this matter was a little strange, so after careful investigation, he realized that Hua Concubine was not the same mother as the imperial concubine. And Hua Concubine's biological mother died after giving birth to Hua Concubine, and she was humiliated when she was pregnant, and gave birth to Hua Concubine early. At that time, the imperial concubine's mother, that is, Tong Guowei's wife, also happened to give birth to a baby girl on the same day. It's just that Mrs. Tong's daughter died within half a day after she was born. In order to avoid Mrs. Tong from being sad, Tong Guowei privately took the Hua concubine to Mrs. Tong. Mrs. Tong fell into a coma after giving birth to her daughter, and when she woke up, she only thought that Hua Concubine was her biological daughter. Therefore, Hua Concubine has been well educated since she was a child, and she is a real lady. ”

"Then how did Hua Concubine's biological mother die?" Chun Xi asked curiously.

Mu Hui shook her head, saying that she didn't know: "Lord Oro Dai hasn't figured this out either." ”

"It seems that the Tong family really has a lot of interesting stories." Chun Xi suddenly smiled, and said happily: "That's right." According to Concubine Hua's attitude towards the imperial concubine, she should know that she and the imperial concubine are not sisters of the same mother. Before entering the palace, her temperament changed greatly, and it seems that she entered the palace with a purpose. ”

"We really underestimated Concubine Hua in the past, but we didn't even find out that she was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger." Du Ruo felt a little funny when he heard this, he had studied with Han Ji for so long, and the best thing he learned was to observe people's hearts, but he didn't expect that now not only did he not see Tong Ruohua's true face, but he didn't even notice Tong Ruohua's surface disguise.

"You know, it's not easy for a woman to enter the palace." Chun Xi smiled: "It's time for the palace to go and meet Concubine Hua for a while." ”

"I heard that Concubine Hua just went in the direction of Qianqing Palace, presumably because she knew that Niangniang hadn't gone over, so she hurried to see the emperor." Mu Hui knew that Chunxi would definitely go to Tong Ruohua, since she knew that she had come to the palace with a purpose, and her attitude towards Tong Ruofei was getting worse and worse, it was Chunxi's best opportunity.

Chunxi met Tong Ruohua outside the Qianqing Palace, originally Tong Ruohua planned to go back to his dormitory, but he didn't expect to meet Chunxi who came in a hurry.

"Yifei Niangniang, Wanfu Jin'an." is not as arrogant as before, today's Tong Ruohua is respectful to Chunxi, and Chunxi is even more curious about her.

What is it that makes this woman hide her intelligence and cleverness with her superficial pride and poisonous tongue, and hide her exquisite heart with those stupid behaviors.

"How is Concubine Hua lately?" There has never been such a question.

Tong Ruohua was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the smile on Chunxi's face, and said, "It's just ordinary, Lao Niangniang is worried." ”

"Look at this face, it's not more elastic than before, it should be well maintained." Chunxi's fingers gently caressed Tong Ruohua's cheeks, and the touch was actually very good, very smooth and soft.

Chunxi's fingers slowly ran down her cheeks, slid over her shoulders, and finally reached Tong Ruohua's fingers. Holding her hand and watching it carefully, it was another compliment. Chunxi almost evaluated Tong Ruohua from head to toe, until Tong Ruohua's face was shy, she let her go, and walked to the gate of Qianqing Palace alone.

Zhixia behind Tong Ruofei didn't understand Chunxi's behavior today, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why doesn't Niangniang hide?" Concubine Yi didn't know what was crazy today, she was like this. Don't you think that Niangniang has won the emperor's favor, and she is not happy? ”

"Probably." Tong Ruohua whispered, and then took the lead to go back in the direction of Jingren Palace, where he lived.

In the palm of her hand, there was still the residual warmth of her fingers. She clearly remembered that the few strokes that had just been swiped in her palm were clearly one word.

It is a word "please", which means to invite.

"What's wrong with the mother?" After talking to herself for a long time, Zhixia realized that Tong Ruohua's mind was not here, she was looking ahead in a daze, and she didn't say anything.

Tong Ruohua still didn't speak, just walked forward silently.

At night, Tong Ruohua took the peach to the Yujing Pavilion in Duixiu Mountain. She remembered what she said before leaving, when she met Chunxi in the daytime, the weather is good today, and there may be many stars at night, and she has to count the stars.

Counting the stars, if Chunxi only counts the stars in the Yikun Palace, he will not speak. Since she had been invited, and had talked about it, he had told her where their secret meeting would be.

In the entire Forbidden City, Duxiu Mountain has the best view. Therefore, if you want to count the stars, you will definitely choose to come here.

Sure enough, Tong Ruohua met in the Yujing Pavilion who was enjoying the beautiful scenery and looking up to count the stars.

Hearing the movement, Chunxi turned around and saw Tong Ruohua standing in the dark with snow-white clothes. The lantern next to her flickered with a faint light, shining on the hem of her skirt, which was very beautiful.

"Concubine Hua is really not an ordinary person, she just came here, why did she bring someone else over." Chun Xi rested on the body of the peach.

Tong Ruohua explained: "In the entire Jingren Palace, the only person I can trust is Zhitao alone. Concubine Yi can rest assured, if the peach can't be trusted, then we can't trust each other. ”

Hearing Tong Ruohua say this, Chun Xi didn't say much, and only let Mu Hui and Zhitao, who came with her, stand farther away.

"I don't know what the purpose of Concubine Yi bothered to let me come here?" Tong Ruohua asked sharply, in fact, she never procrastinated, and she would not ask in a roundabout way, because there was no need. Now that people have come, they simply express their doubts generously, and maybe they can hear the sincere answers of others.

I only heard Xun Xi say: "This palace has heard about something recently, which is about Hua Concubine. ”

"Oh? What can I do? Tong Ruohua covered her mouth and smiled, and said disapprehantly: "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?" Recently, it has been related to me, I'm afraid it's spread all over the palace and outside the palace, I don't know if what Concubine Yi said is the same as what they said? ”

"Nature is different." Chun Xi smiled and said, "What this palace knows, it must be what they don't know." The palace heard that Hua Concubine was talented and beautiful in the past, knowledgeable and courteous, and had the demeanor of everyone's ladies. It's just that the people I see in this palace today seem to be very different from the rumors. I don't know why? ”

Chunxi's words shocked Tong Ruohua, she didn't expect Chunxi to know this. It stands to reason that no one in the palace should know about what happened before entering the palace. Even Tong Ruofei didn't know much about her. She doesn't even know what she likes and dislikes.

"But others lift me, my little bit of Taoism is not worth mentioning compared to Niangniang." Tong Ruohua smiled again and complimented: "In the end, Concubine Yi is still delicate, not only able to speak, but also talented and beautiful, and endearing." ”

"This palace doesn't remember Concubine Hua's articulate words." Chun Xi said: "Just say these things, you haven't answered the questions of this palace yet." ”

Tong Ruohua lowered her head and smiled, and said, "What kind of answer does Niangniang want?" ”

It's really not simple, and Tong Ruohua is not as ignorant as he imagined. In the past, Tong Ruohua and Li Bichun were compared, but today it seems that Tong Ruohua has been wronged. If she has the same ambition as Tong Ruofei, I am afraid that Tong Ruofei will not be as good as her mind after many years, let alone her clever mouth.

"Tell me, you can give the answer to this palace." Chunxi is not a person who can be dismissed in a few words, since he has made up his mind to talk to Tong Ruohua today, he wants to talk about the result. If you can't procrastinate, the longer it drags on, the worse the result will become.

"What answer can I give my mother?" Tong Ruohua looked at Chunxi's eyes and said for a long time: "I can't give Niangniang a correct answer, because I don't know how to talk about it." Of course, if the mother has to listen, I have to talk to the mother in detail. If the mother doesn't want to listen, that's it. ”

"Oh? Isn't it Hua Concubine who still has a story? She looked at her suspiciously.

Tong Ruohua smiled lightly: "It's not a story, it's just some old stories." When Niangniang heard this, she naturally understood why I was so different before entering the palace and after entering the palace. ”

"I want to hear about it." She smiled.
