Su Xin had just taken a medicinal bath, and the whole room was still filled with the fragrance of herbs, mixed with the steaming humidity of hot water, which had a different taste on a summer night in early May.

"This ointment prepared by Yun Yao is really magical, and the injuries behind Sister Su Xin are much better. Lu Yingquan was on the side, wiping Su Xin's sweat with a handkerchief, while talking.

"There's nothing magical about this ointment, I've only put a few very common herbs in it. Yun Yao said humbly, "The main thing is that Sister Suxin has perseverance and insists on applying it every day, which is better and faster." ”

"The most important thing for a woman in the palace is nothing more than two things, appearance and intelligence, and if any of them fall behind, they will not be beneficial. Su Xin took the opportunity to explain to Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan the way of survival in this palace, "Even if it is a palace maid, these two things are indispensable." ”

"Sister Su Xin is already beautiful enough, much better than that Zhou beauty, I really don't understand, why is a woman as smart and beautiful as my sister delayed in the Yeting Palace?" Lu Yingquan asked with some confusion.

"When I entered the palace, the current saint was still a child, how could I have the opportunity to become his concubine?" Su Xin smiled and shook his head, "And those concubines in the harem of the first emperor ...... I can't reach it. ”

"How beautiful is that, even Sister Suxin feels out of reach?" Lu Yingquan was surprised, "Could it be ...... More beautiful than the fairy daughter in the sky?"

"I have heard that the first emperor's Jiang beauty, that is, the current Empress Dowager Jiang of Yiguo, is really worthy of the words "stunning Allure", and I don't know if after so many years, her beauty is still the same as when she was young. Yun Yao remembered the rumors she had heard before, so she said so.

"Empress Dowager Jiang...... She was the only woman who could be comparable to the Empress Dowager in beauty and wisdom, so when the first emperor was alive, he loved her very much, even the seventh prince...... That is, today's His Royal Highness King Yi has also been personally taught by the first emperor, as if he was cultivated as a prince. It's a pity that the first emperor died suddenly, although His Royal Highness King Yi is favored, but after all, the foundation is not as good as today's saint ......" Su Xin heard Yun Yao mention Jiang Meiren, and remembered the bloody storm when the palace changed before.

Lu Yingquan was dumbfounded when she heard it, in her cognition, the amount of information in Su Xin's words was too much, which made her a little unable to come back to her senses.

Seeing Lu Yingquan's appearance, Su Xin smiled: "That's it, it's all a matter of the previous dynasty, don't discuss it." I'm just feeling it now, and when you're gone after a while, I want to talk to you, and I don't know where to find you......"

"Let's go, Sister Suxin, where can we go?" Yun Yao was shocked when she heard this, and she was a little confused.

Even Lu Yingquan looked dazed, not knowing what Su Xin meant.

"I only tell you this news, you must not spread it. Su Xin glanced at the two of them, thought about it, and finally decided to speak.

"Well, don't worry, none of us will say anything. Lu Yingquan was really curious, so he nodded busily.

However, Yun Yao had a bad premonition in her heart, she felt very surprised when she heard Su Xin suddenly say that they were leaving, and now listening to Su Xin's tone, she felt a little resistant in her heart, as if she didn't want to know about it.

It's a pity, even if she doesn't want to know, Su Xin still said it.

"On the second day of June, it is the tenth birthday of the queen's mother, and when I went to the internal affairs office at the end of last month to reconcile the accounts, I heard the aunts in the inner palace mention that the emperor and the queen mother have the heart to do a big job for the queen's mother, and I estimate that the holy decree will come down in these days. Su Xin said, "The treasures and clothes rooms belonging to the Yeting Palace, and even the procurement department and the internal affairs office will be short of manpower, so you and other palace maids will go to help prepare for the birthday ceremony when the time comes." ”

"Sister Su Xin, what do you mean, let us take this opportunity to enter the inner palace?" Lu Yingquan immediately thought of Su Xin's intentions.

"Not bad. Su Xin nodded, "You two, you have never belonged to the Yeting Palace, this is just your temporary residence, one day, you will walk into the inner palace step by step, close to the power center of Daning...... And this time, it's an opportunity. ”

Su Xin's voice was very soft, as if it came from a distant place, so distant, but so firm.

Lu Yingquan listened to Su Xin's words, and began to have hope in his heart, and a glimmer of ambition flashed in his eyes.

Entering the inner palace, this is her hope all along, no matter how many plots and blows she suffers, she has never given up, this time the queen's birthday, if she can be favored by any master and get the opportunity to stay in the inner palace, then she will be one step closer to her dream.

But Yun Yao was a little hesitant, she lowered her head, her face was indifferent, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Yun Yao, Yun Yao?" Suddenly, Lu Yingquan's voice woke up the pensive Yun Yao, making her suddenly come back to her senses.

"Oh...... I was just thinking about Sister Suxin's words. Yun Yao said, looked at Su Xin, and asked, "Sister Su Xin, now the Yeting Palace is no longer in charge of Yuehe, we are very calm and safe here, and when we are old, we can also be released from the palace, so ......"

"So, you don't want to go to the Inner Palace, you just want to stay here for ten years and stay until you are twenty-five years old, right?" Su Xin saw through Yun Yao's thoughts at a glance.

"Isn't it good?" Yun Yao asked without answering.

"Of course it's not good!" Lu Yingquan heard this, and immediately retorted, "Yun Yao, I thought you were smarter than me and saw more thoroughly than me, but why can't you figure it out? The Yeting Palace is safe for the time being, but can you guarantee that we and Sister Suxin will be safe for a lifetime? After Yuehe left, how many pairs of eyes stared at us, and how many people dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak? Bright guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend, do you still want to be here, being calculated again and again?"

I agree with Yingquan's words. Su Xin felt that Lu Yingquan was insightful for the first time, and she said, "To put it mildly, I don't dare to guarantee how long I can live, and how dare I guarantee that I can protect you for ten years? ”

Yun Yao looked at Su Xin, and then at Lu Yingquan, frowning slightly, but didn't know what to say.

What they said was right, and her thoughts were right, it was nothing more than two choices and two attitudes. It is not wrong for her to be honored and favored and be content with the status quo, but the world is unpredictable, especially the ups and downs of life and death in the palace, no one dares to guarantee that she can live safely until the day she leaves the palace.

"Yun Yao!" Lu Yingquan looked at Yun Yao's expression, and knew that Yun Yao was still thinking, so she persuaded her, "Sister Su Xin is right, we can't guarantee stability in the past ten years." Instead of being frightened here, it's better to fight, where did you take the initiative to bring down Yuehe?"

"Actually, a lot of things are up to you. Su Xin saw that Yun Yao's attitude seemed to be a little shaken, so she said, "Yun Yao, do you know...... Even if you don't want to enter the inner palace, no one wants to let you go?"

Su Xin's words seemed to carry some kind of reminder, reminding Yun Yao of the conversation she had with Su Xin.

In the past, Su Xin chose herself as a partner and reached an alliance because Su Xin said that she had always been concerned by Aunt Jinxiu, and the master of Aunt Jinxiu was the Queen Mother.

So, has everything she is doing now already fallen into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and she can't help herself?

"Sister Su Xin, you tell me, Yingquan and I ...... What should I do?"

After a long time, Yun Yao seemed to have finally made up her mind, raised her head, looked at Su Xin, and asked.

Her eyes were very calm, as if everything was the same as usual, but only she knew how many different thoughts flashed in her heart at that moment just now, and how she struggled before she decided to climb up from the position of a third-class palace maid with Lu Yingquan.

Listening to Yun Yao's words, Su Xin smiled slowly.

"You've figured it out, so it's for the best. Su Xin said, "Do you remember what I said at the beginning? Appearance and wisdom are indispensable weapons for women in the palace. Let me say something that you may not like to hear, Yun Yao is very intelligent and thoughtful, but she lacks a face that can be remembered at a glance......; It is no exaggeration to say that there is no one in the palace who can compare to you, and even in the inner palace, you are also a leader, but it is a pity that your temperament is not as stable as Yun Yao, and you are easy to act impulsively, even if you are calculating, you can't count those people. ”

"Sister Su Xin is telling the truth. Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao glanced at each other and spoke.

"So, you two complement each other perfectly. Su Xin said, "I am no longer young, I have struggled in the palace for more than ten years before I reached the position of the aunt in charge, but you are different, you are still young, and you still have a way out." The reason why I asked the two of you to trust each other at all times is because Yun Yao's wisdom and Ying Quan's appearance can make you invincible in this palace. ”

"We see, Sister Suxin, thank you for telling us this. Yun Yao listened to these words, there were a little tears in her eyes, she had been in the palace for so long, and no one had ever told her these truths so clearly, and Su Xin was the first.

In the past, she only knew how to be low-key and cautious, and she thought that she could avoid disasters when she saw more and talked less, but she forgot that people's hearts are unpredictable, and many things are not something she can dodge by. No matter how she escaped, there were always some ill-intentioned people pressing forward step by step, so that she had to fight back in order to save her life.

Therefore, what Yingquan said is actually not wrong, it is better to find a way to escape after putting himself in a desperate situation for the second time...... Don't put yourself in a desperate situation in the first place.

"Actually, I've always wanted to tell you about these things, but I haven't found the right opportunity, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, so I simply told you everything I should say at once today, and how much I can understand depends on your ability. Su Xin's voice was beautiful, slow and comfortable, which made Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan a little unstoppable.
