Already, there are not many days left.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at Nangong Lizhu in the crowd who had a chat with Pei Yuanzhen, and it happened that she was also looking at me, and her eyes revealed Sensen's ruthlessness, and the moment the two eyes met, there seemed to be sparks in the air.

I was stunned by her, and turned to Shen Rou and said, "The folk girl knows." ”

Shen Rou sneered, then turned around and left, I stood at the door and watched those people all leave, the sun was shining, shining on the red and bright palace walls around as if there were fires burning all around, trying to devour me, but standing in the center of the flames, I was very cold, even the fingertips holding the palace gate were cold.

Nangong Lizhu's eyes just now......

Although I accepted Chang Qing's entrustment and stayed to take care of Nianshen, I know very well what this harem is, this is a fighting ground for the survival of wild beasts, and all I can rely on is their fangs and sharp teeth - that is, identity and status to survive, and I don't have any of these things, if they really want to do something to me, it is easier than pinching an ant to death.

I'm not a predator here, I'm just food.

At this time, a warm hand touched the back of my hand, and when I looked back, it was Mama Wu standing behind me and said, "Girl, don't stand on the tuyere, go back." ”

I nodded, and went back to the house with her, and when I pushed the door in, Shui Xiu was smiling and removing the bandages on my knees, and when she saw me coming back, she immediately said: "Girl, did you see Yuwen's face just now, haha, it's really relieved!" ”

Mama Wu couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at you, you still have injuries on your body, and you're so happy." ”

"Of course, I was going to die of joy when I saw her being scolded by the concubine, so I almost laughed at the time."

Mama Wu smiled and walked over to help her remove the bandage together, I walked to the table and sat down, silently distracted, the two of them also noticed my silence, Mama Wu said softly: "Girl, what's wrong?" See how preoccupied you look? ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Shui Xiu, Mama, in the coming days, everyone should be careful in doing things." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I, I'm a little worried...... "Nangong Lizhu and Yuwen, as well as Shen Rou, are not people who will suffer dumb losses, today they all suffered more or less losses when they came to Jingren Palace, but some of them ate on the bright side, and some were dumb losses, but none of these people are fuel-efficient lamps, if they want to retaliate - especially the eyes of Nangong Lizhu when he left, it made my heart palpitate.

I know that she hates me, for Pei Yuanxiu, for her humiliation and grievances over the years, and now it is even more involved in her honor in the harem and the competition between her and Shen Rou, she will definitely not show mercy to me.

"In short, it's best for you not to go out of Jingren Palace these days, tell me anything about it, and I'll ask Xing'er to do it."

Shui Xiu grinned and said: "What are you afraid of, the queen mother will come back in a few days, besides, the concubine and Concubine Li are both big-bellied, and Yuwen was ordered by the concubine to think about it behind closed doors in Saitama Hall, it's nothing!" ”

Mama Wu looked at my worried appearance and hurriedly said to her, "Shui Xiu! Whatever the girl tells you, you just do it, the girl has her reasons! ”

"Ah......?"

"You have to be obedient!"

"Oh." Shui Xiu pouted and nodded, Mama Wu couldn't help sighing when she looked at her, got up and went out with the discarded bandages and medicine, leaving me and Shui Xiu in the house, she suddenly remembered something and said to me: "By the way, girl, I have something to tell you." ”

"What?"

"When the eldest princess came here just now, it happened that Xiaofuzi also came to deliver something, and he told me that the eldest princess didn't seem to be coming by herself."

"Oh?" I frowned: "What?" ”

"Xiaofuzi said that before he saw the eldest princess coming, someone secretly went to find the eldest princess, so she came to Jingren Palace."

"Who?"

"It looks like a new girl who has entered the palace this time, called-yes, called Ye Yunshuang!"

Ye Yunshuang? I frowned, I had some impression of this name, it seemed to be one of the new maidens who Chang Qing brought to the Linshui Pagoda to kowtow to the Queen Mother. I remember that this picker girl is very beautiful, even standing among so many flowery and moon-looking pickers, it is like the crown of the group, with a bit of Shen's soft shadow; I heard that Pei Yuanhao also paid special attention to her, but there was such an unwritten rule when choosing concubines in previous dynasties, so that a woman with outstanding looks would not be favored in the first round, so she had not been canonized.

Could it be that it was this Ye Yunshuang who said something to the eldest princess that made Pei Yuanzhen rush to Jingren Palace?

This Ye Yunshuang, it seems that his identity is not simple......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel suffocated.

In this harem, how many eyes in the shadows are there?

After this day, I was more cautious and cautious, and I didn't take a step out of Jingren Palace, because I didn't know when the fangs belonging to Concubine Li, Guifei, or Yuwen would bite me and give me a fatal blow.

Unexpectedly, the following time passed peacefully.

Nothing happened the next day, and even the palace maids from various palaces did not come to Jingren Palace to visit, only vaguely heard that although Ding Jieyu was punished by the noble concubine Niangniang to think behind closed doors in Saitama Hall, she was not calm; I heard that she has been having nightmares at night, and once she woke up to the people in several palaces around her, and her temper became worse and worse, and the maids who followed her were scarred every day.

Another day passed, and the surroundings were still calm.

But Nian Shen, his body is much better.

This morning I fed him porridge and drank medicine, and found that his fever had subsided, and his eyes were much clearer, and when I put a small piece of candied fruit into his mouth to relieve him, the boy rolled his eyes and said, "Grandma-"

"Huh?"

He looked at me and suddenly said, "No, I shouldn't call you Grandma, it turns out that you are not an old woman!" ”

I smiled and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief.

"It turns out that you are so young and so good-looking......"

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. Mother-in-law...... No, I don't want to call you Grandma, but—what should I call you? ”

"My name is Yue Qingying, Your Highness will call me Qingying."

"Young baby? I don't want to call you like that, it's like calling a random palace maid," Nian pouted deeply and said, "I'll call you Aunt Qing." ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "Your Highness, no." I'm not His Royal Highness's aunt, I can't scream indiscriminately, let the emperor hear it, it's going to be beheaded. ”

"Oh......" Nian thought deeply and whispered: "Then, when others are there, I call you Qingying, and when no one else is there, I call you Aunt Qing, okay?" ”

Looking at the way he looked at his eyes, I couldn't bear to say anything more, so I smiled and nodded.

After I agreed to him, the child became more and more happy, and after a while he was making a fuss to get out of bed, although he would pant now even if he said a few more words, but in the end he had been lying in bed for several days, and he should indeed be allowed to move, fortunately, the weather outside today was good, I originally planned to take him to the window to bask in the sun, and look at the scenery, but this child has to look at Shu, must go outside to play.

I persuaded me bitterly for a long time: "Your Highness, you really can't go out, you can't blow the wind now, in case you get seriously ill, you have to lie down for a few more days." ”

He was a little aggrieved, but he also knew that what I said was right, thought about it, and suddenly said: "Then, let's not go out, go to the queen mother's studio to have a look, okay?" ”

Chang Qing's studio?

I was a little hesitant, but I couldn't stand Nian Shen's repeated begging, so I could only agree, fortunately, Chang Qing's studio was in Jingren Palace, and I came to this door and turned a corner, and when I pushed the door in, I smelled a faint fragrance.

This room is simply and elegantly furnished, there is no decoration, there are a lot of picture scrolls piled up on the peach wood shelves, and there is a picture of Qiu Shizhou's peach village thatched cottage on the wall, and a table is placed by the window on the side, on which the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are complete, and there is an unfinished snow scene, dozens of wolves on the pen stand are hanging down, and they are blown by the wind.

There was also an incense burner on the table, and a light smoke rose from it, and a familiar fragrance filled the air.

I vaguely remember that it was the smell in Fangcaotang, Xu Youling's favorite incense, and later she broke up with me and moved to Jingren Palace, and she also brought this incense, but I didn't expect Chang Qing to leave it and still use it in the studio.

I looked down at Nian Shen with a happy face, this kid likes this place so much, does he know that this place smells like his mother?

Nian Shen happily showed me some paintings, some are famous works, some are Chang Qing's own paintings, I found that Chang Qing's paintings do not seem to have been allocated by any famous artists, they are self-contained, less restrained, but more have their own bones, such a woman with a blue heart is really rare in the world.

With her as the queen, it is actually really a blessing, but I don't know if Pei Yuanhao understands.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, I turned my head to look, and saw Xing'er walking over with a nervous face and saying, "Young girl, the Queen Mother is here!" ”

Dowager? How did she come here?

I was wondering, I saw Mama Gui walking in with the Queen Mother, she was still wearing a blue-gray robe, with a hint of indifferent smile on her face, before she walked to the door, Nian Shen had already seen her, and hurriedly struggled to get up from my arms, to go over and salute: "Grandma Huang, Nian Shen greets ......"

"Alright, get up."

The Queen Mother leaned down to look at him and said, "Why did you come out and run around when you didn't get better?" ”

"Back to the imperial grandmother, Nianshen doesn't want to lie down anymore, and wants to come out for a walk."

"Nonsense, what if I catch a cold?"

I hurriedly said, "It's the people's girl's fault." ”

The Queen Mother glanced up at me, then at Nian Shen, and said: "The mourning family knows that you feel sorry for this child, but you shouldn't let his temperament come, you, it's too serious!" ”

I bowed my head slightly.

When Nian Shen saw that I was being scolded, he hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the Queen Mother and said: "Grandma Huang, don't scold Qing-Qingying, it is Nian Shen's own willfulness, and Nian Shen is not good." ”

The Queen Mother looked at me, then at him, couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a smile: "Okay, the mourning family won't scold her." ”

Nian Shen immediately laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed, and the Queen Mother led him to sit on the couch on the side and said, "The mourning family is looking at you, don't play too long, and go back in a while." ”

"Well, Nian Shen knows!"

With the permission of the Queen Mother, Nian Shen was even happier, the Queen Mother sat on the couch and just looked at him, the eyes that were accustomed to indifference also had warm warmth at this moment, and even the thin wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were also with a melting warmth, I seemed to be the first time to see such a Queen Mother, I don't know why, seeing her like this made me have an urge to cry.

I walked up to her gently and said, "Why did the Queen Mother come to Jingren Palace today?" ”

"Come and see the mourning family, I heard that yesterday, Concubine Li and they all came?"

I nodded, "Yes." ”

"Is something wrong?"

"It's okay for you to remember."

Although it was said that there was nothing wrong, the Queen Mother frowned, obviously, she and I thought about going together, if Concubine Li came to Jingren Palace and nothing happened, it would prove that she did not succeed, if she did not succeed, it only proved one thing - I will face a more sinister future.

The Queen Mother was silent for a while, but she still looked at Nian Shen and said softly: "Girl, you-be careful." ”

"Yes."

While we were still talking, I saw Nian Shen take out a scroll of paintings out of nowhere and walked over, I looked at his little face and a little pale, obviously tired, walked two steps and stopped to rest against the shelf, I went over and said: "Your Highness, don't play, go back and lie down and rest." ”

He was a little wheezing, but he said to me anyway, "We looked at this picture...... Just go back. ”

"Your Highness......"

"Okay, Qingying, this painting...... It's good-looking, and there's a very ...... in it Very beautiful fairy! ”

“……”

"Really, I...... I often see the queen mother, and the queen mother - looking at this painting in a daze. ”

Seeing that he was talking intermittently, I wanted to take him back, but the boy was bent on showing us this picture that he liked, and I couldn't bear to brush his mind, so I said, "Okay, I will promise you, but after reading this painting, Your Highness will go back to rest." ”

"Well, good!"

He nodded at me with a smile, and walked in front of the Queen Mother with the painting: "Grandma Huang also came to see it." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "What painting?" ”

"He's a beautiful immortal!"

The Queen Mother smiled and was pulled by him to the table, Nian Shen was about to unfold the scroll, when suddenly I heard a rush of footsteps outside, as soon as I turned my head, I saw Xing'er running over in a hurry, her face turned pale: "Qing-slave maid to meet the Queen Mother, to meet Your Highness." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Xing'er said: "The slave wants to find Qingying, there is something. ”

Looking at her spitting out, I faintly felt that something was wrong, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, I sued and walked out with Xing'er, and as soon as I went out, I asked, "Xing'er, what's wrong?" ”

Xing'er hurriedly said: "Qingying, you hurry up and go out to have a look, something happened to Shui Xiu!" ”

"What?!"
