Spring night, light moon veil, graceful Tingting, spring breeze breeze, tree shadows. The surface of Jiulong Lake is like the Milky Way, with a breeze blowing through it, with a little moonlight and intertwined with starlight. The wind is filled with a faint scent of flowers and grass, which is intoxicating.

Concubine Cao Bangyun came out of the queen's Kunyi Palace, while slowly walking through the Rejuvenation Palace, passing by Qiongyuan, a strong mixed floral fragrance hit, and the concubine walked into Qiongyuan on a whim.

Passing through the flowers of a tree, walking to a strange stone rockery, suddenly heard the whispering sound behind the rockery, listened carefully, it was the voice of a man and a woman, a moment of curiosity, then turned to the back of the stone, only heard a sound of clothes, unconsciously taken aback, fixed a look, only to see two people in the half-foot-high weeds, saw her coming, and wanted to hide in the bushes behind the stone.

Seeing this, the good concubine shouted: "Who is there to survive? Come out! If I don't come out again, I'm going to call someone! ”

A woman's figure slowly walked out from behind the tree, lowered her head, and knelt in front of the concubine at once, but the figure of another man took the opportunity to slip away from the bushes, and the concubine was about to shout, and the woman kneeling on the ground suddenly grabbed her with both hands, and begged bitterly: "Good concubine Niangniang, please don't make a noise, let us go!" ”

By the moonlight, Concubine Liang saw clearly that the woman kneeling in front of her was Ming Qing beside Lu Yuan, only to see that she was disheveled, her hair was slightly disheveled, her face was full of tears, and her expression was terrified.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Liang had already guessed nine times out of ten in her heart, called Ming Qing, took her to a remote place, and asked, "Who is that?" ”

Ming Qing lowered his head and sobbed: "He is the guard at the front door, and our two families are neighbors and grew up together. ”

The good concubine said: "You are so confused, you have a private meeting in the palace, fortunately it is the palace, if you are bumped into by others, where will your master's face go?" According to the palace rules, the two of you will also be punished by the Shen Xing Division. ”

When Ming Qing heard this, she was terrified, and fell to her knees with a thud: "Good concubine, please spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid know that it is wrong, please don't tell others." ”

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." Concubine Liang exhaled lightly and said slowly: "I think you are a calm and proper person, and I don't want to be so ignorant." ”

Mingqing still knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, and the good concubine sighed and said, "That's it, I don't want to force you hard, I just let you remember the bitterness." I'm not going to tell you, just act like nothing happened tonight. ”

Mingqing seemed to grasp the straw that saved her life, and she was grateful, and she kowtowed to thank her.

The good concubine helped her up, with a gentle smile on her face, and said meaningfully: "I know that you are a good boy who knows how to repay your kindness, if I have something that I need you to do in the future, what will you do?" ”

Mingqing was shocked when she heard what she said, but she was already riding a tiger, so she had to say: "If the mother is useful to the slave maid, just command, and the slave and maid will do their best!" ”

The concubine patted her hand and said happily: "Good boy, I really didn't misunderstand you." It's not early, you go back quickly, your master will be suspicious when it's late. ”

Looking at Ming Qing's figure hurriedly walking away, the corners of the concubine's mouth hooked up with a casual smile.

Ming Qing ran back to Jingxi Palace in one breath, her heart was still pounding, she looked at Lu Yuan's bedroom, saw that there was no light inside, and knew that Lu Yuan had fallen asleep, so she quietly returned to her and Chunhua's room.

Chunhua just lay down, and when she saw her come back, she sat up and said with a smile: "You are such a big person and so playful, you only said to go out for a walk after dinner, and you don't want to go for a few hours, and the master has looked for you." ”

Ming Qing was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What is the master looking for me?" ”

Chunhua said: "It's just looking for you to play a rope, the master thinks I didn't play well, and you won't come back for a while." Speaking of this, he found that there was something wrong on Mingqing's face, and asked again, "What's wrong with you?" A look of lost soul. ”

Ming Qing turned around and went to spread the quilt, and covered up: "When I came back just now, passing by Yongxiang, a wild cat suddenly ran out and scared me, and I am still frightened." ”

Chunhua did not doubt it, and said mischievously: "Who told you to come back so late, the cat was alarmed, spring is the time when the cat is in heat, in case you annoy the cat, scratch your face to see how you still see people." ”

Mingqing only said that he was sleepy, blew out the candles, and stripped off his clothes indiscriminately, but where could he sleep, and he didn't dare to turn over and over, for fear that Chunhua would be suspicious, so he had to watch the beams of the house, and he didn't fall asleep until the fifth watch.

When she woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, Mingqing hurriedly got up and got dressed, came to Lu Yuan's bedroom, and saw Chunhua serving her to wash, and when she came in, Chunhua quipped: "You're getting lazier and lazier, but you can't sleep enough." ”

Lu Yuan saw that her eyes were dark and blue, and said with a smile: "I heard Chunhua say that you were scared by the wild cat when you came back last night, probably because you didn't sleep well at night, I have already instructed the small kitchen to stew a cup of lily and lotus seed porridge for you, and it is best to calm your mind, so you can go and drink it." ”

Mingqing's face was feverish, and he quickly lowered his head to thank him, and ran out as if he had escaped.

Lu Yuan saw that her expression was a little abnormal, but she was frightened last night, and she didn't care much, urging Chunhua to help her comb her hair quickly, so as not to miss the time to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and the Queen
