Outside the Chunyuan Palace, the vermilion fence under the corridor is carved and built, and the moonlight falling from the gaps between the branches and leaves has the old gold gray color, heavy, and there is the darkness of the ancients.

Outside the corridor, Concubine Rong knelt straight on the hard bluestone slab ground, a green silk hanging behind her like a waterfall, wearing a moon-white water-patterned Ling skirt, without the slightest hairpin ring decoration around her body, pure and solips. The tassel kneeling behind him was also dressed in plain clothes.

In the Chunyuan Palace, Lu Yuan stood in front of the window, looking at Concubine Rong's white figure from afar, was silent for a while, turned to Yu Lin, who was sitting on the couch and reading: "I've been kneeling for two hours, isn't the emperor really distressed?" ”

Yu Lin didn't look up, but said lightly: "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel, and I didn't punish her for kneeling." ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Look at Concubine Rong, although she is dressed in plain clothes, she is still beautiful, it is really unusual, otherwise how can she be favored by the emperor for so many years!" ”

Yu Lin raised his head and smiled: "You Nizi, you are getting more and more tricky, don't I love you?" ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "The concubine just saw that the emperor was tired of reading and tired, and the emperor smiled." Although it is the weather in May now, it is still cold at night, and the emperor also went out to comfort a few words, so that Concubine Rong Niangniang went back, if she knelt outside all night, but she was going to kneel badly? ”

When Yu Lin heard her say this, he stood up and slowly walked out of the temple.

When Concubine Rong saw it, she hurriedly dragged her already stiff legs and crawled to Yu Lin, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the concubine was framed, the concubine really didn't mean it, you have to believe the concubine!" ”

Yu Lin raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "How can this kind of thing be framed?" Tell me who is going to frame you. ”

Concubine Rong said: "The queen has always been dissatisfied with the concubines, maybe the queen colluded with the imperial doctor to frame the concubines, or it may be the concubines, she has always been arrogant and has no one in her eyes, and she doesn't like the concubines to compete with her for favor, and it is unknown to join forces with the imperial doctor to get rid of the concubines." ”

Concubine Rong was suspicious, and suddenly saw Lu Yuan walking down the steps, and said without hesitation: "It may also be Concubine Ying, Concubine Ying has always had a disagreement with concubines." ”

"Shut up!" Yu Lin said angrily: "Is there also my share? You are suspicious and unfounded! ”

Lu Yuan stepped forward, stood up gently, and said with a slight smile: "Niangniang has always been smart, who can calculate Niangniang?" ”

Concubine Rong was dumbfounded, and Lu Yuan turned to Yu Lin and said: "It's already late at night, the emperor still sends a message, let Concubine Rong go back to Yaohua Palace, so as not to make Princess Qingning lonely in the palace." ”

Yu Lin thought about it, and ordered Li Zhong with a calm face: "Immediately send someone to Yaohua Palace to send Princess Qingning to Qinfangzhai Shun Concubine, and after the decree is passed on to the harem tomorrow, the princess will be raised by Shun Concubine." You must not come near the princess without my command, lest you teach my daughter badly. Go! ”

Concubine Rong's face turned pale, and she staggered up from the ground, and the tassel hurriedly stepped forward to help her and walked slowly.

Yu Lin returned to the hall with Lu Yuan's hand, and said gently: "I originally wanted to send Qingning to Jingxi Palace to be raised by you, but thinking that Jin Se is still young, it will consume too much of your energy, and I don't want you to be too tired, so I thought of Concubine Shun." ”

Lu Yuan smiled softly, gently snuggled up to Yu Lin's chest, and said: "The person chosen by the emperor is very right, Sister Shun Concubine is a straightforward person and has no children, she will definitely raise the princess sincerely, not to mention that the concubine's Jingxi Palace and Qin Fangzhai are the closest, and you can also visit the princess from time to time." ”

Yu Lin sighed: "You are really understanding, why can't Concubine Rong be like you?" ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Concubine Rong also has her own advantages, but the emperor's words are partial to Yuanyuan." ”

Yu Lin lightly pressed the tip of her nose and said, "Is she smart but mistaken by smart, or is it better to be Yuanyuan." ”

Lu Yuanjiao smiled: "The emperor likes to be stupid." ”

It was late at night, and the two of them laughed for a while and went to bed.

When she came to Qinfangzhai early in the morning, Lu Yuan saw that Concubine Shun was teaching Princess Qingning to write next to the bookcase, and there were several finished words and papers scattered on the desktop.

Concubine Shun was dressed in homely clothes, her hair was loosely tied into a crow bun, and only a red gold hairpin was inserted, standing behind Qingning, holding her little hand to teach her how to put down the pen, with a doting look in her eyes.

Seeing Lu Yuan walk in, Concubine Shun stood up and pulled Qingning to sit next to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan took off the armor on his hand, and gently rubbed Qingning's oily hair, infinitely loving.

Concubine Shun smiled: "It took you a lot of effort to take Qingning from Concubine Rong, but now you are by my side, aren't you very disappointed?" ”

Lu Yuan hurriedly smiled: "Where did my sister say?" Qingning is the same with you as it is by my side, my sister raised Qingning, and I am a hundred at ease. ”

Concubine Shun stroked Qingning's head and said slowly: "With this child, I have some sustenance in this life, otherwise how to spend the long days in this palace." ”

After a pause, she asked Yingqin to take Princess Qingning to play in the garden, and said to Lu Yuan: "I heard that Concubine Rong wrote to the emperor every day to ask for forgiveness, although the emperor did not see her, he did not order her to be punished. ”

Lu Yuan's mind froze slightly, and said slowly: "The emperor didn't deal with her, probably still grateful for her family's merits, with this reliance, she could have ensured Concubine Rong to be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, but it's a pity that she is not greedy enough, she only thinks about killing concubines and dominating grace, which can be described as self-inflicted." ”

Concubine Shun rolled her eyes and said: "At the beginning, she instructed Cuilan Cuiyu and others to deliberately release the news of the death of the concubine in front of you, which caused you to be emotional and almost had a difficult birth, which shows that she has a sinister heart. ”

Lu Yuan walked to the bookcase, picked up the paper written by Qingning casually, looked at it, and said softly: "That's why I'm planning every day to take Qingning back from her, she must have had another purpose in raising the princess, and now it has finally been realized." Sister, Qingning's handwriting is getting better and better, this is all because you taught it well. ”

Concubine Shun stepped forward and held Lu Yuan's hands tightly, and said gratefully: "Sister, I am really grateful to you. ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Why is my sister so polite today, what do you and my sister say about gratitude or not." ”

Concubine Shun also laughed and said, "Now that Concubine Rong's matter is unresolved, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu Yuan groaned: "I don't want to kill them all, it's just that Concubine Rong has harmed me again and again, and now the emperor has not punished her, if she makes a comeback in the future, she will definitely take revenge on me, and I can't sit still." I'm going to go to Yaohua Palace in the afternoon. ”

"To Yaohua Palace?" Concubine Shun was surprised.

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I'm just going to talk to Concubine Rong, can I still go and kill her?" ”

The concubine also laughed.
