Since then, the middle palace where people came and went in the past has become a lot colder, and even the daily greetings seem deserted, because Xi Ze has not set foot in the middle palace for more than ten consecutive days, but Wang Ningxuan doesn't seem to care about this.

On this day, Yun Tian kept his promise and brought the newly made kite to the Lingxi Hall to visit Chengyou, who had just recovered from a serious illness.

Chengyou was very happy, and pulled Yun Tian's sleeves and ran outside the Lingxi Palace.

On this day, Yun Tian and Chengyou had a great time, they ran happily, jumped, shouted, laughed, and made trouble, as if all the troubles and chaos in this palace had nothing to do with them, and it seemed that God had never been so attached to them as he was at this moment, giving them so much arbitrariness and pleasure.

However, happy times always pass quickly, and before you know it, the sun has sunset.

Completely tired of playing, the two sat back to back on the grass and realized one very important thing, that is: hungry!

Yun Tian raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the two of them had thrown the palace people who followed them to the "edge of the sky" because they were too forgetful, and it seemed that they had to find something to eat. And the closest place to find food from here turned out to be the peach forest behind Weiyang Palace, so she patted Chengyou on the shoulder and comforted: "Go, I'll take you to a good place, there is delicious food there!" ”

At this moment, Chengyou already believed in Yun Tian very much, he didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "Then let's go quickly!" ”

Soon, the two came to the outside of Weiyang Palace.

The peaches in the peach forest this season have filled the entire peach tree, and seeing that this peach forest is close in front of him, Chengyou suddenly grabbed Yun Tian's hand and said vigilantly: "Where are you going?" ”

Although Yun Tian was puzzled, he still said excitedly: "Bypassing this Weiyang Palace, there is a large peach forest behind it, full of peaches, big and sweet, go, I'll take you to pick peaches!" ”

"Don't go!" As soon as Chengyou heard that he was going to go to the peach forest behind Weiyang Palace to pick peaches, he immediately screamed, "You don't want to die, you dare to eat the peaches in the peach forest behind Weiyang Palace?!" ”

"Why can't you eat it? Don't worry, it's not poisonous, I've already eaten it! ”

Hearing this, Chengyou immediately stood on tiptoe and covered Yun Tian's mouth, and motioned to Yun Tian to silence him with a frightened eye. Then he cautiously asked, "Have you ever sued anyone else about this?" ”

Yun tilted and looked at Chengyou who was trembling in front of him, his head was running rapidly, obviously the day before yesterday Xi Ze had brought himself to pick peaches to eat, why did Chengyou try his best to stop himself from moving forward now, and finally she should shake her head now, so she looked at Chengyou calmly and shook her head intently.

Seeing this, Chengyou let out a long sigh of relief: "Count your fate and not be caught!" You must remember that you must never mention this matter to anyone again, the mother concubine has repeatedly told this Weiyang Palace to be a forbidden place in the palace, and the father has already decreed that those who step in without permission will be killed! Especially the peach forest of Weiyang Palace! Why don't you even know this? Didn't you notice that it was empty? Let's get out of here! ”

After speaking, he took Yun Tian's hand and left quickly.

Yun Tian suddenly realized, no wonder every time he entered the peach forest, there were only himself and Xi Ze, and even Rui'er and Sixi didn't dare to follow up.

It turned out that the peach forest behind Weiyang Palace belonged completely to her Yan Yuntian alone.

It turned out that Xi Ze did not allow others to appreciate her dancing.

It turned out that he was affectionate.

The days came silently on the first day of the sixth month, and Xi Ze unexpectedly sent a decree to stay in the Middle Palace tonight.

However, the concubines quickly found a reason for themselves to be comforted, and the first and fifteenth emperors stayed in the middle palace, which was customary, and no one took this matter to heart.

This night, Wang Ningxuan instructed Shuying early: "Shuying, no matter who is on duty tonight, you will find a reason to change it to the flower note, after the emperor comes, don't keep people in the front yard and the front hall, the palace will not believe it, they can survive tonight!" ”

When night fell, Xi Ze came to the Middle Palace after handling political affairs, Wang Ningxuan served Xi Ze to sleep as usual, and his every move was gentle as usual, as if Wang Qinyao was still living in Yaoguang Palace. She didn't mention Wang Qinyao's matter, and Xi Ze naturally didn't mention it, so just like that, the two fell asleep quickly.

However, before the good dream was over, he was awakened by a loud noise.

Xi Ze opened his eyes irritably, only to see two palace maids pulling and pulling to the bed, and the sleepy-eyed Sixi also stumbled to himself, scared and angry and reprimanded; "Do you still have any rules, and the holy driver dares to make noise here, because he thinks his skin is too thick......"

"That's it!" Xi Ze interrupted Sixi impatiently, got up and sat down, Wang Ningxuan intimately played a fan for him, Xi Ze turned his head and smiled back at her, and said warmly, "I'm not hot, you lie down first!" ”

Seeing her lie down according to her words, Xi Zefang turned around and asked in a deep voice to the two palace maids kneeling below: "Say, what happened in the middle of the night?" ”

The palace maid in the green shirt replied first: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave maid is the palace maid of Fengyi Palace's vigil today, she said that the beauty of the Yonghe Palace Lanxin Pavilion has a headache and discomfort, and she has to ask the emperor to come over, and the slave and maid can't stop her!" ”

As soon as Hua Jian's voice fell, the yellow-shirted palace maid beside her hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my little master really has a headache, go and take a look!" If there is a case, how can the slave and maid afford it?! ”

Xi Ze was furious when he heard this, is this the result of not setting foot in the Middle Palace for more than ten days? Where is the majesty of the Middle Palace? Can the palace maid also trample on it?

He didn't look at the two palace maids, and asked in a deep voice at Sixi: "Sixi, I ask you, what should you be guilty of disturbing the holy driver and the phoenix driver for no reason in the middle of the night?" ”

Hearing this, Sixi immediately sniffed out the smell of danger, and replied unceremoniously: "Die!" ”

"Then what are you still stunned for? Don't drag it out yet! ”

"Yes!" Sixi got the order, and soon recruited people to drag the two palace maids away.

Suddenly, the sound of begging for mercy was endless, but it was too late.

Looking at the figure of the flower note being dragged down, Xi Ze couldn't help but roar angrily: "The people in the palace are like this, and now they are respectful and inferior, and they step on the head of the middle palace, so will they also break ground on the head of the Son of Heaven in the future?!" ”

"The emperor is angry!" Wang Ningxuan persuaded gently at the right time.

Only then did Xi Ze restrain his anger and lie down. Suddenly, there were a few almost inaudible sighs on his lips, with a little helplessness, and the breath seemed to have the hot temperature of this summer night: "Ning Xuan, if you complain about me because of Qin Yao's matter, I accept it all calmly!" ”

If you ask her if she complains, the answer is yes.

But she was very relieved that her husband gave each other enough time to calm down, and she had scrutinized the whole incident over and over again for more than ten days, and she figured out one thing, that is, in that situation, if it was herself, she would have made the same decision, because the opponent really couldn't find a flaw in this game. In this way, this resentment has diluted a lot, so it is not her husband who should resent, but the murderer who framed Wang Qinyao. So she calmly said to Xi Ze: "No! The concubine thought very clearly, it was the concubine's godsister who had no way to control her, so she made her cause chaos to the emperor! The concubine has never complained about the emperor! Concubine, believe in your husband! ”

Xi Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he stretched out his big hand and clenched her right hand, as if he wanted to convey the firm strength in his body to the bottom of her heart: "Ning Xuan, in my heart, you have done a good job!" Stop beating yourself up! ”

Even if her heart was dripping with blood at the moment, and she couldn't put out a shallow smile, she still tried her best to pull the corners of her mouth and slowly fade away the wordless sadness: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you suddenly lost your beloved son, and the grief in her heart is unstoppable, in fact, the concubine is also responsible, the concubine has the responsibility of negligence, you will hand over the harem to the concubine, so believe in the concubine, but the concubine did not manage it well, and now you still believe in the concubine as always, the concubine is both happy and guilty, I don't know how to share the worries for the emperor......"

"Ning Xuan, don't say it again!" When Xi Ze heard this, his heart was even more uncomfortable, he really couldn't listen to it, so he hurriedly interrupted her, reached out and hugged Wang Ningxuan, and said warmly, "Just let me stay with you quietly like this, I understand what you want to say!" ”

Night, silent and serene.

I don't know how long it took, Xi Ze suddenly said again: "Ning Xuan, let's leave this sad place for a while and go outside the palace to relax, it just so happens that the weather is unbearable now, I heard that Lishan Palace is a summer resort, let's go there for the summer, okay?" ”

"Good!" Wang Ningxuan replied gently in Xi Ze's arms, "When does the emperor want to leave?" ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better! You can make a trip for you! It's a pity that I went to Changbai Mountain to look for snow lotus at night, otherwise I could go together. By the way, the queen mother, you also go and ask if you want to go with me? ”

"Hmm!" Thinking of the harem concubines, Wang Ningxuan couldn't help asking, "Among the harem concubines, Yun Tian and Green Yi don't need to be said, who else does the emperor want to take?" ”

Xi Ze thought for a while and replied: "Chengyou has just recovered from a serious illness, and he is arguing with me every day to go out to play, so he will definitely go with Dan Guifei, and Qin Meiren will also go with him, and the others are up to you, after all, you are the master of the harem!" Xi Ze paused, and then said, "As for that Lu Meiren, you don't have to follow!" ”

"Good!"

The fact that Xi Ze went to Lishan Palace to escape the summer and named the beauty without leading the road quickly spread throughout the harem in the early morning of the next day.

Lu Meiren's fall from grace was between this night, and the Liwei of the Middle Palace was only between this night.

So far, no one in the harem dares to snub the middle palace.

On the fifth day of June in the first year of Daxing, Xi Ze and Wang Ningxuan led the concubines and important courtiers to Lishan Palace for summer vacation. The Queen Mother did not agree to accompany her.

The accompanying concubines, in addition to Yun Tian, Shen Luyi, Dan Guifei and Qin Meiren, there are also Mu Xuehan, Shu Yuxiao, and Yan Ruhua. And Fu Ningyan actually asked herself to stay and take care of the Queen Mother.
