The night rain drips empty steps, the deep hall is covered with green smoke, the candle shakes the red shadow, and it is idle.

Just as he was about to go to bed, Xiyun hurriedly pushed the door in, "Song Liu, do you know?" The emperor summoned Lan Zhaoyi tonight. ”

I looked at her calmly, uncovered the brocade quilt, and went into the bed.

She frowned and sat down on the edge of my bed, "Since she was canonized as Zhaoyi by the emperor three years ago, the emperor hasn't turned over her brand once, and now I don't know why, suddenly..."

"I asked the emperor to summon her to bed, you don't have to be frightened!" I interrupted her.

Xiyun stared at a pair of round eyes, "It's you!" Even though you regard Lan Zhaoyi as a sister, she is no longer the same to you. Does it make sense for you to do that? ”

"If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have become Liuyun's Zhaoyi, since Liuyun sealed her, she should be favored by her." I shrunk into the futon and wrapped myself tightly.

Xiyun's face was very unhappy, "I'm afraid that in the future, she will take revenge!" ”

I glanced at her, "She has a grudge against me, and after a long time, she will go back to the past." ”

A hint of helplessness flashed in Xiyun's eyes, and then he retreated.

I hope that Liuyun's summoning this time can make Yulan lower her hatred for me, and in the palace, nothing is more important than being favored by the emperor.

After tonight, presumably her identity will be different.

Early the next morning, I learned from other minions that Qingxuan Palace was particularly lively today, and the concubines of the harem all brought congratulatory gifts to congratulate Yulan.

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard it, in the palace, it has always been like this.

If the lady of the palace is summoned by the emperor, there will be guests in her palace on the second day.

Everyone wants to please the favored person, but they just want to take the opportunity to climb up. As everyone knows, such a sudden change of face will make others disgusted.

Since I mentioned to Liuyun three days ago that he should be more favored on Yulan, I knew that there would be today.

The sound of the rain outside the window made me sleepy like a hypnot.

In my dream, it was as if a pair of cold hands were caressing my cheeks again and again, and some faint voices sounded in my ears, and I didn't hear what was said.

When I woke up, the sky was already clear, and the moment I opened my eyes, I was startled by the person in front of me.

Liuyun sat on the edge of the bed, looking at me carefully, seeing my surprise on his face, he smiled slightly, "What's the matter, I can still scare you?" ”

"Flowing clouds." I frowned and called him, "Why are you here, last night, you shouldn't..."

Liuyun smiled and said nothing, but looking at my puzzled expression, he paused before saying: "The concubines in the palace, only you can spend the night in the Zhaoren Palace, even if you are the queen, you can't!" From the moment you became my concubine, I have sworn that such a privilege will be given to you alone in this life. ”

His words were soft, but they had a firm momentum.

I was silent, his words made me understand his heart for me, but after all, he is the emperor, I can't be so selfish, I can't let other concubines become a person in the cold palace because of me.

Even if I want to be with him all the time, I will be jealous and envious, but I can't do the same.

"Liuyun, don't change it before because of me!" I spoke to him earnestly.

He lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "In my heart, you are the only one who is my wife." Zhen Luo, please don't force me to be nice to other concubines, it's not fair. ”

At this time, Xiyun's voice came from outside the hall, "Emperor Qi, Niangniang, the queen just sent someone to send an invitation to invite Niangniang to the plum garden tomorrow to enjoy the plum blossoms." ”

After hearing this, Liuyun nodded to me, "In the cold winter wax moon, the cold plum blossoms in the plum garden are blooming, and at this time of year, the queens of all dynasties will invite the harem concubines to go to enjoy the plum blossoms together, which is a rare event in the harem." ”

"Plum Garden?" I was a little puzzled, "Why have I never heard of a plum garden in the palace!" ”

He put on a warm smile, "The plum garden is only open when it is cold and snowy, and once your identity could not participate, so naturally you didn't know that there was a plum garden in the palace." But now, it's different, you're my concubine. ”

I bowed slightly, and the corners of my mouth hooked up a smile, "Since it is a grand event in the harem, I also want to open my eyes and see this scene." ”

Today, there are still snowflakes in the sky, and after a brief tidying up, I will lead the way to the plum garden by Xiyun.

From a distance, I saw many brightly dressed women standing in front of the gate of the plum garden.

They are all women in Liuyun's harem.

I couldn't help but slow down and listen to their pleasant laughter.

"Sister!" There was a call behind me, I stopped and looked back, Yulan was walking towards me.

"Yulan!" I smiled, and she bowed to me, "Yulan greets my sister!" ”

I reached out and helped her up, "No need to be polite in front of me." ”

She only smiled faintly, the same as before, "If it weren't for my sister, how could Yulan serve the emperor, and how could she participate in today's grand event, it's all my sister's blessing." ”

I shook my head and said lightly: "This is your blessing, because of my sister, you have suffered a lot of grievances." ”

Yulan looked into the distance, "Grievances are already a habit for Yulan, and my sister doesn't have to blame herself!" This is all Yulan's fate, since the day Yulan was named Zhaoyi by the emperor, she has accepted her fate. ”

I stared at her in amazement, though her attitude had changed compared to before. But for me, it's still a feeling of rejection.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" With a shout, I retracted my mind, and Yulan retracted her gaze.

She suddenly took my hand and smiled at me.

I accepted it calmly and stepped forward together.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye!" Yu Lan and I saluted Han Xiaoyang at the same time.

"The concubine asks for peace to Concubine Chen!" The other concubines saluted me again, and there were many rituals in the palace, but in fact, I was not used to it.

Han Xiaoyang glanced at me and Yulan, and smiled deeply, since her prince was canonized as the crown prince, her temperament seems to have changed a lot, "This palace is really relieved to see that Concubine Chen and Lan Zhaoyi can release their previous suspicions." Okay, let's enjoy the plum blossoms together! ”

After she finished speaking, she stepped out of the lotus foot, and Yulan and I followed behind her, extending to the back according to their status, forming a team.

The fragrance in the garden is blown away, Xiao Xiao snow and cold plums, and the plum blossoms in the plum garden are even more charming under the background of winter snow.

However, in response to that sentence, the plum and snow are white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum.

"This year's plum blossoms are more beautiful than usual, and this year's snow has been falling longer than usual!" Han Xiaoyang said softly in front of him.

Everyone lowered their eyebrows and smiled, agreeing with her words.

"Concubine Chen, are you right when you say this palace?" She suddenly looked back at me and spoke.

I was slightly stunned, raised my eyes to look at her, and bowed my head again, "Niangniang is very right!" ”

She turned around and walked on.

"Sister, your shoes are a little dirty." Yulan leaned down and wiped the silk on her hand for me.

I quickly helped her up, "It's okay, just go back and change!" ”

She bowed her head slightly and took my hand.

Not long after entering the plum garden, the snow began to fall heavily, and we all hid in the promenade of the plum garden to avoid the snow.

Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky, everyone's faces showed surprise, and it is undeniable that the plum blossom scene in the flying snow is beautiful.

"Let's go over there and have a look!" Han Xiaoyang pointed to the front and said lightly.

Everyone applauded, I respectfully followed behind Han Xiaoyang, and when I walked to the jade steps of the lower corridor, I just took a step, and the soles of my feet stepped on the empty body and failed to stabilize it, and rushed forward.

"Ahh I screamed.

Han Xiaoyang, who was in front of me, turned around and looked at me who was rushing towards her, and her eyes widened.

Her body slammed into her, and she shook, fell off the jade steps and rolled down.

Suddenly, the plum garden was in chaos.

Everyone looked panicked, looking at the scene that had just happened in front of them, and they were all stunned.

When the palace maids helped her up, they were shocked by her current appearance.

She had a bruise on her forehead and looked horrible.

I looked at her in a panic, and quickly rushed down the jade steps and squatted beside her to help her up, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

She frowned, pushed me away suddenly, and asked me sharply, "Concubine Chen, are you deliberately unable to get along with this palace?" ”

"Mother, no. Just now, the soles of your feet suddenly slipped, and they pounced on you. I explained to her that no matter how I explained it now, it would not be able to quench the anger in her heart.

"No one stepped on the air, but your concubine's legs are weak, right?" She ignored my words, and the anger on her face made her look the same as she had been.

Yu Lan pulled me up and said softly to Han Xiaoyang: "Queen Mother, who walks without bumping, my sister didn't mean it, she did just slip on the soles of her feet before she pounced on you!" ”

Han Xiaoyang stood up, glanced at me fiercely, and said angrily to everyone: "This is the end of today's plum blossom viewing event, everyone should go back to the palace!" ”

Everyone looked at each other in unison, then saluted her and left.

I exhaled helplessly, "The concubine is retired!" ”

only then did he turn his back, and a sentence came from behind him, "Niangniang, Concubine Chen has just been canonized, and she must have deliberately made you lose her face in front of many concubines and embarrassed you at today's plum appreciation party, so as to show her current status, and she doesn't take you as a queen in her eyes at all." ”

As soon as these words fell, I turned around and looked at the grandmother who said these words to Han Xiaoyang, and after a long time, I said calmly: "In the palace, there is a group of people like you who love to chew the root of the tongue, so there will be more misunderstandings." ”

Han Xiaoyang's expression changed, and he was even more displeased, "Concubine Chen, no matter how much the emperor loves you, don't forget, the harem is in charge of the palace." ”

I looked away, "Niangniang, the concubine has retired first!" ”

Turning around again, he paused before mentioning the lotus foot.

"Sister, let's go, don't pay attention to these people's words!" Yulan took my hand.

I bowed my head slightly and left the plum garden with her.

After walking for a long time, I spoke: "I really shouldn't come today, appreciating plum blossoms is a grand event for harem women, but now because of me, how embarrassed the queen is in front of everyone." ”

Yulan smiled, "Sister, it's you who think too much." ”

I stared at Yulan for a long time before I said, "Maybe! ”

Presumably, in the future, Han Xiaoyang will be a little more dissatisfied with me.
