Concubine Shun casually broke a water urchin agate inlaid on the armor, and said with a smile: "I can see it, you not only saved Zhaoyang in this game, but also spared Jin Niang's life, and also cleared the suspicion of Concubine Zhen, which is really a triple win." However, I don't think Concubine Zhen may be able to understand your affection, her purpose has not been achieved, and she has been disrupted by you. ”

Lu Yuan took a sip of the teacup, sighed slightly, and said: "I am only worthy of my own heart, I don't know it, I really can't bear to watch Zhaoyang suffer if I know, I am also a mother, mother and son are connected, and I have reached people, if my Jinse suffers this catastrophe, I don't know how much my heart hurts." As for whether she appreciates it or not, I don't care. ”

Concubine Shun stood up, straightened the folds of the pomegranate skirt, and said, "I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back, Qingning is still waiting for me." ”

Lu Yuan sent Shun Concubine out of the hall, and at that time, the moon was rising, and the moonlight was quietly flowing down from the clouds in the sky, so smooth that it was like a fine silk horse that could not be contained.

The moonlight is bright and clear, shining on the stone steps in front of the Jingxi Palace, like mercury pouring on the ground, and like frost covering, a clear light as water.

Concubine Shun walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around, the Dongling jade silk curpin on the sideburns trembled slightly, crossed the crystal arc, and said in a low voice: "I have been in the palace for so many years, I have seen so many things, it is inevitable to be angry, my sister can still maintain a heart is really commendable, I just hope that I think wrong and think too much." ”

Lu Yuan said calmly and calmly: "If you want others to be grateful for everything, you will definitely be disappointed." Even if everyone bears me, I just want to reassure myself. ”

Concubine Shun nodded meaningfully, said no more, and turned away, and the dark feather satin cloak disappeared into the night.

After Jin Niang left Kunyi Palace, the Internal Affairs Office immediately selected a suitable nurse to make up for it.

Zhaoyang's illness gradually improved, and his spirit slowly recovered, and the queen's hanging heart finally fell into her stomach, and she was convinced of the magic power of the goddess to exorcise evil spirits.

At the suggestion of the queen, An Lingyue was promoted to the title of Moon Noble. At the canonization ceremony, An Lingyue combed a high Wangxian bun, with a gold chisel red coral blessing hairpin on her temples, inlaid with finely cut jade beads, hanging down to her earlobes, wearing a red bead on the peacock pattern brocade, densely twisted silver silk thread as a cloud water Xiaoxiang map, and the brocade silk shawl with apricot yellow peony pattern at the bottom of the snow-white brocade flowed quietly to the ground.

She knelt on the white jade paved ground and quietly listened to Li Zhong read the canonized decree, with a humble and respectful smile on her face, but her eyes clearly showed a smug look.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but shudder in her heart, remembering that when she was first elected to the palace, she was taught a lesson by the jade concubine, at that time she was like a helpless deer, her eyes were sad and pitiful, Lu Yuan defended her and relieved her siege, and she burst into tears with gratitude. However, current events have changed, things are not people, and yesterday's timid and simple An promise has become today's deep and step-by-step Yue nobleman in the city government. People's hearts, after all, are unpredictable.

The next day, the sky was overcast, and in the middle of the morning, there was a heavy snow of goose feathers, which fluttered one after another, and flew all over the sky, and as far as the eye could see, it was all white, shining with a continuous silver light, and the heavens and the earth melted into a white piece.

Chunhua lifted the heavy warm curtain, admired the heavy snow outside, and said happily: "What a big snow, I have grown so big, I have never seen such a big snow!" When the snow stops, we can build a snowman and play. ”

Lu Yuan is folding plum blossoms from Qiongyuan, red plum or wax plum, white plum, green plum, different colors, one by one pick down and put into the transparent glass round bottle, there is melted snow water in the bottle, particularly clear, after charcoal fire, the aroma is exceptionally fresh.

She smiled and said: "Look at your happiness, you don't want to think about it, it has snowed so much, the weather is so cold, those poor people who are not clothed don't know how to get frozen, there are poems: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, that's what it says." ”

Chunhua playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "The master is always so bodhisattva-hearted. Hey, someone is coming, who will it be on such a snowy day? ”

Lu Yuan followed Chunhua's gaze and looked out of the door, and sure enough, he saw two figures wearing thick feather satin cloaks, braving the wind and snow towards Jingxi Palace.

Lu Yuan hurriedly asked Chunhua to open the curtain, and when the two of them walked up to take off their snow hats, they recognized that it was Concubine Zhen and the maidservant Qiushuang.

Lu Yuan ordered Chunhua to pour hot tea to ward off the cold for them, and added a lot of silver carbon to the charcoal furnace, and the flames burned brightly, and the palace was as warm as three springs.

Lu Yuan smiled and said respectfully: "Niangniang braved such a heavy snow to come, there must be something important, right?" ”

Concubine Zhen glanced at Lu Yuan lightly, smiled slightly, and didn't seem to smile: "You are very smart, you must have guessed why this palace came, right?" ”

Lu Yuan nodded slowly, shook her head again, and said, "The concubine seems to have guessed, but I don't know if the guess is right." ”

Concubine Zhen said slightly: "That month, the noble man really had a scheming, Concubine Ying, you took a lot of effort, but let her fisherman profit and pick up a bargain, do you regret it?" ”

Lu Yuan only smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "They are also harem sisters, it is her blessing that she has been awarded the title of nobleman, I only congratulate her, I can't talk about regrets or regrets." ”

Concubine Zhen said meaningfully: "Concubine Ying's affection for her sisters is admirable, but this month, the nobles have eaten inside and out, and they have failed to live up to your affection." ”

Lu Yuan only smiled and said nothing, and took a sip of the hot tea.

Concubine Zhen straightened her face and continued: "This palace came today, first of all, to thank you, on the day of the birth of this palace, thanks to your words from the side, Zhaoji was able to stay in the Yilan Palace to support, otherwise our mother and son will be separated, please accept my worship." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Zhen's slender figure stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Niangniang, it's time to torture the concubine." ”

Concubine Zhen sat down again, her face turned slightly, and said: "Although I am grateful to you, I also have a word to advise you, don't always think about crossing people, the harem is a quagmire place, it is destined to be peaceful, and some things are not related to you, so you don't interfere with them, and it will not benefit you." ”

After speaking, Concubine Zhen took a sip of tea and looked at Lu Yuan from the corner of her eyes.

Lu Yuan understood in his heart, and only said lightly: "The concubine is not nosy, she just hopes to have less cruelty and strife, it is not easy for everyone to abandon their families and come to this deep palace, why bother killing each other." ”

Concubine Zhen paused, and said: "I told you before, my purpose is to be the back, I will not show mercy to all those who stand in my way, this time it is just a matter, if you and I meet in the future, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

After speaking, she got up and walked out of Jingxi Palace, the wind blew her cloak, revealing a curved skirt corner, and the ribbon on the cloak fluttered slightly, disappearing into a white wind and snow.
