"That's Nangong Lizhu."

These few words are very simple, but Chang Qing seems so heavy when she says them - that is Nangong Lizhu, Pei Yuanhao's favorite woman.

No matter what I've done or what I've been able to do, in her hands, I've never won.

But maybe it's because at that time, I still wanted to win or lose.

Thinking of this, I smiled faintly and said to Chang Qing: "Weichen knows." ”

Chang Qing was still a little hesitant, and wanted to say something, but I had already said lightly: "What Weichen wants to do has always been only for things, and it has nothing to do with who the other party is." ”

“……”

She froze.

I was still very calm, and my smile was so faint that I felt like I was going to melt into such a white snow - in fact, it really had nothing to do with who the other person was.

Even if that person is Chang Qing, Shui Xiu, or anyone I care about, if she treats an idiot like that, I won't stand idly by; Even if the other party is Nangong Lizhu, if what she does is a good deed, I will not destroy what she wants to do because of "don't let my enemy achieve the goal she wants".

I just believe in justice.

Moreover-

I looked up at the white snow around me, a scene I had in countless nightmares, and every time I saw it, it was cold from my fingertips to my heart; But for some reason, when it looks like this year, it is extraordinarily calm, and even feels that the pain and despair of the past are slowly pale in this scene.

I feel like I will never see this kind of snow scene surrounded by red walls and green tiles.

Although people are still trapped here, they seem to have liberation in their hearts.

The pain, the suffering, the once qiē, have all been buried under the cold snow.

It's been a long time coming, gone.

Chang Qing looked at me in a daze, although she didn't say a word, but her bright eyes seemed to have seen through something, and after a long silence, I heard her sigh softly: "You......"

After the first snow of winter, the whole capital fell into a white expanse, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the first thing you see when you open the window every morning is the snow-white tree hanging, and the crystal clear ice edges under the eaves.

The scenery is getting more and more beautiful, but for pregnant women, it is not so good.

Chang Qing's reaction became bigger at this time, I often went over to accompany her, and I could often hear her unbearable retching sound, every time she vomited sour water, and it didn't take long for people to feel as if they were shriveled up.

When she finally calmed down, I handed the decoction on the table to her: "Niangniang, drink a little." ”

She frowned, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she didn't really want to use it, I gently persuaded: "Niangniang's health is not good, and now she vomits so much, how can I make up a little more?" ”

“……”

She looked at the thick soup, and there was a rare childish embarrassment on her dignified and delicate face, her mouth was slightly pursed, I smiled, and waved my hand to let Shui Xiu take a porcelain bowl out of the food box, and when she smelled the faint orange fragrance emitted inside, Chang Qing's eyes immediately lit up: "Orange cheese." ”

I smiled and said, "Niang Niang, drink the medicine." ”

Chang Qing looked at me, then at the decoction, and finally resigned herself to her fate, took the bowl and drank it little by little with a frown.

After only a few sips, I heard Pei Yuanhao's voice at the door: "How is the queen today?" ”

Chang Qing hurriedly put the half-drunk soup bowl on the table, and was about to get up, when he saw Pei Yuanhao walking in from outside the door, reached out and held her arm and pressed her back to the soft couch, and said, "I said, your body is heavy, don't get up and kneel." ”

Chang Qing said softly: "The concubine thanks the emperor for his grace." ”

He was dressed in a heavy fox fur, the pure black color was oily black and shiny, and the fluffy fluff gently rubbed his neck and chin, which looked extraordinarily warm; The snowflakes fell on it in fine pieces, like condensed frost, and along the way, the snow foam scattered in all directions, and was melted away by the melting warmth in the room, leaving only a faint smile on the corner of his lips. While rubbing his hands, he said with a smile: "The queen is warmer here than the imperial study. ”

I had already stood up and stepped aside, Pei Yuanhao turned his head to look at me, and said softly, "You are also there." ”

"Wechen meets the emperor."

"You sit."

"Your Majesty."

I took two steps back and sat down in a chair in the back.

His face was still faint, without much expression, but somehow it seemed to please him, the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper, but he didn't say anything, just looked back at the decoction that was still half left on the table, and saw the porcelain bowl on the other side, opened the lid and took a look, and immediately smiled: "What, my queen is also afraid of drinking medicine?" Do you want a young baby to coax? ”

Chang Qing also blushed a little when she said this: "Don't make fun of your concubines." ”

Only then did Pei Yuanhao take off the fox fur, handed it to the button next to him, and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about this thing, even I won't come, in the end, the queen has a big face." ”

I sat there calmly, not speaking.

Chang Qing listened, as if she had thought of something, looked back at me, looked at the porcelain bowl again, and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, today is here." ”

"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Such a big bowl, how can a concubine be able to drink it alone."

Pei Yuanhao also glanced at me, his eyes revealed a long joy, Chang Qing had already asked the button and they to bring the bowl over, although the porcelain bowl was filled with a lot, but it was not too much to really take out, the shallow three bowls, the two of them each took a bowl, and the button brought a bowl to me.

I got up and said, "Wechen doesn't need it." ”

"You use it."

“……”

I raised my head to look at him, he also looked at me, the corners of his eyes squinted slightly, as if he was smiling, but there was still some flickering in that smile, I was silent for a while, and said softly: "Emperor Xie." ”

For some reason, when I said this, it seemed that everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking the bowl, I also sat down and drank it carefully, the orange cheese is made according to Chang Qing's taste, it is still a little sour, I can't eat this taste very well, Pei Yuanhao too, but looking at his appearance, it seems that there is nothing to complain about, but it is so sour that he tastes good, his eyes are slightly squinted, as if he is smiling; And Chang Qing was even more drunk and smiling.

The three of them, each with their own thoughts, were quiet in the room, except for the crisp sound of the spoon touching the edge of the bowl.

In that crisp voice, it seemed that other voices could be heard far away.

I sat there calmly, listening to the sound from far and near, until I reached the door, Xing'er came in and passed the word, the first thing that came was a burst of fat powder aroma, and when I looked up, it was the concubines of each palace who had arrived, and the first one to walk into the room was Nangong Lizhu.

As soon as Chang Qing was pregnant, many affairs of the Sixth Palace Pei Yuanhao were handed over to her, such as this New Year's Banquet, although she has not yet been officially canonized as a concubine, but the power of the assistant Sixth Palace has actually reached her hands, and Concubine Li at this time can be regarded as a proud spring breeze, and her natural clothes are different. Dressed in a gorgeous robe, the skirt was embroidered with golden peacock peonies, and the steps on his head swayed with Shanshanlian's steps, and in the room where the light was not bright, it was also slightly dazzling.

As soon as she entered the room, it was as if the whole room was lit up.

I turned my head and met the eyes that were as bright as autumn water.

There was still a hint of a smile in those eyes, but when they saw me and the small bowl in my hand, there seemed to be a ripple, but it immediately calmed down.

However, the other concubines are not as calm as her.

If it was just me and Chang Qing hiding here eating "private dishes", it would be just a joke, but when they raised their eyes and saw Pei Yuanhao also holding a bowl, and the three of them were eating with a spoon, the expressions on their faces were more or less stiff.

However, Nangong Lizhu had already walked in as usual, and Ying Ying fell to the ground: "The concubine meets the emperor and the queen." ”

The concubines behind her had also reacted at this time, and they all fell to the ground with her, Pei Yuanhao waved his hand: "Get up." As he spoke, he put down the bowl in his hand and stepped forward to help her: "You are here." ”

Nangong Lizhu smiled and said: "The concubine came to talk back to the queen's mother, and it just so happened that the sisters were going to come over to say goodbye, so they went on the same road." ”

As she spoke, her eyes fluttering, she looked over: "I didn't expect that Lord Yue was also there." ”

I had already stood up and saluted them in a proper manner: "Wechen greets all the ladies and sisters." ”

She smiled and walked up to me step by step: "These days, the palace is busy with the New Year's banquet, and it is hard for Lord Yue to be unable to serve the queen's mother. ”

"Don't dare to say bitterness."

Looking at my calm face, without a trace of ripples, she seemed to feel bored, looked at me again, and turned away, and by this time everyone had taken their seats, and I did not sit down again, but carefully retreated to the back. At this time, Pei Yuanhao looked up at me and stretched out his hand to point: "Qingying, you sit there." ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the room.

Nangong Lizhu was quite calm, but the autumn water in those bright eyes seemed to have been thrown into a small stone, and it was cold, and the other concubines, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are a little stiff, and when they see me slowly walking over, after Xie En sat down, his face was even more ugly.

The atmosphere in the room became a little stiff.

At this time, Nangong Lizhu waved her hand, and the little palace maid Ruizhu behind her had already stepped forward to present the booklet, and she said: "The list of the New Year's banquet this time, the concubine has already prepared it, and I specially brought it over and asked the queen to take a look." ”

Chang Qing took the booklet handed by the buckle, Pei Yuanhao also sat back, the two of them leaned on the table and looked at it, Chang Qing smiled and nodded lightly: "In the end, it is Concubine Li's sister who is doing things safely." ”

Pei Yuanhao also smiled, raised his head and looked at her: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"The emperor and the queen mother confessed, how dare the concubines speak hard." She said calmly: "Just want to share the worries of the queen's mother, it is the blessing of the concubine." ”

Chang Qing and I quietly raised our heads and looked at each other.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her and said softly: "But don't be tired of yourself." ”

Nangong Lizhu smiled softly: "The emperor explained, and the concubine remembers it." ”

Pei Yuanhao smiled and nodded.

Nangong Lizhu stood up and walked over, and when she walked past me, the thick aroma of fat powder suddenly hit me, which stimulated me so much that I almost sneezed.

In my memory, there is always a faint fragrance on her body, not like the aroma of fat powder, but like a natural fragrance of skin, which makes people feel very comfortable, but such a strong fragrance of fat powder seems to be a little too much, and Chang Qing-

As soon as I thought of this, she had already walked in front of Chang Qing, took the booklet with her own hands, and said, "The concubine will be arranged according to the above." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

Sure enough, I saw Chang Qing frowning slightly, as if she was holding something, but the more she endured it, the more she couldn't help it, seeing her frowning, she suddenly turned her head to cover her mouth with a handkerchief, but she still couldn't hide the retching.

Suddenly, several little palace maids around ran over, and Kou'er hurriedly helped her: "Niangniang." ”

I wanted to get up, but as soon as my hand touched the arm of the chair, I sat down again.

There was also a little chaos in the room for a while, Kou'er hurriedly came over with hot tea, Xing'er took the handkerchief used by Chang Qing and put it away, and hurriedly picked up the small spittoon for her to rinse, and the few concubines around didn't say anything, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat strange.

Pei Yuanhao also got up and walked in front of her, and said, "Is the queen okay?" ”

Chang Qing rinsed her mouth, took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth, then turned around, the corners of her eyes were still a little red, and she got up and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, the concubine has lost her honor." ”

"Don't say that, Queen." Pei Yuanhao looked at her and said softly, "Are you still sad?" ”

"Much better."

She said that, but I could tell it wasn't too good.

In terms of reaction during pregnancy, Chang Qing is indeed stricter than some other pregnant women, when I was pregnant with my child, I didn't vomit so badly, and pregnant women are the most susceptible to irritation, some too strong smells, and even the wrong force of a hand may cause a bad reaction.

Smelling the thick fragrance of fat powder in the air, I couldn't help frowning slightly, and Nangong Lizhu was still standing in front of her, and said softly: "Is the queen mother better?" ”

"Hongu is fine." Chang Qing said, her brows twisted again, she bit her lower lip, and said forcibly: "It's all right, everyone sit down." ”

Nangong Lizhu returned to his seat and handed the booklet to Ruizhu to put away.

As soon as she left, Chang Qing's face looked a little better, and she took a sip of the teacup handed by the buckle with a slight sigh of relief, and just soothed a little, she heard Nangong Lizhu say: "Your Majesty, the concubine still has something to do." ”

Pei Yuanhao had been taking care of Chang Qing all the time, but at this time he turned around: "Oh? What's the matter? ”
