Chapter 31: Sweetheart
After closing the door, Yue Ling found the unused sterilization pill and planned to dump it secretly.
But the medicine was not easy to come by, and it was very difficult for her to make such a small bottle in the palace, and it was a pity to lose it.
"Forget it! Save it for a future and find a chance to use it! "Put away the small medicine bottle again and change it to a more secret place, in case you can still attack Xiao Junyan one day!
Zhou Yun'er's death did not have much impact on the imperial city, and under the deliberate cover of the Empress Dowager Zhou, there was not even a sad atmosphere in the harem. Even the people of the Zhou family just complained twice, after all, they are now full of thoughts on Zhou Ping'er, and they want the Zhou family to have another queen.
It's just that Zhou Ping'er didn't want to get their wish, and she has been in a stalemate with the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace.
"Auntie, even if you can trap Ping'er's people, but this high wall can't trap Ping'er's heart, Ping'er doesn't want to go down the path of her sister!" Zhou Ping'er has an idea, she is not afraid of imperial power, and she is not moved by wealth and wealth.
Empress Dowager Zhou had no choice, and she didn't dare to persecute Zhou Ping'er too much, she felt that if she forced it on, Zhou Ping'er might die, and there would be no available girls in the Zhou family's generation.
Besides, if you really want to enter the palace, you have to be willing by Zhou Ping'er, otherwise if you are forcibly tied to Xiao Junyan, it is destined to be a harem discord.
Empress Dowager Zhou sometimes has a headache, why are the two sisters of the same mother and siblings so different in personality? It would be nice if Zhou Ping'er also liked Xiao Junyan.
Since Zhou Yun'er's death, Empress Dowager Zhou was worried that Zhou Ping'er would be affected by her emotions, so she often recruited Yue Ling to be Zhou Ping'er's companion.
After getting along, Yue Ling looked at this girl from the Zhou family twice. I'm also playing a good cousin with more care, but it seems that I really have some feelings.
"Cousin, don't you like the palace?" Yue Ling saw that Zhou Ping'er was depressed, so she naturally wanted to come together and be an empathetic cousin.
Zhou Ping'er shook her head and didn't say much. But Yue Ling felt that she understood Zhou Ping'er's meaning, and she volunteered: "Are you homesick?" Why don't I go and beg the imperial brother and let someone send you back to Zhou's house to see your aunt! β
Obviously, Zhou Ping'er's eyelashes fluttered, but in the blink of an eye, Yue Ling only saw a calm and waveless face.
"Cousin, I can see that you are unhappy, why don't you tell me what is in your heart!" Yue Ling moved a stool, sat side by side with Zhou Ping'er, and naturally put her head on Zhou Ping'er's body.
For a long time, Yue Ling doubted that Zhou Ping'er and the former Princess Yongjia were really good? didn't even want to talk, so Zhou Ping'er asked in a shallow voice: "Jiajiake has ever had someone you like?" β
"Like? What does that feel like? In the innocent tone, he asked the most indifferent heart. Yue Ling had already had the answer in her heart, but now she had buried all her likes and past, and only hatred was left in her heart.
"To like is to want to be with someone forever!" Zhou Ping'er flashed the appearance of a young man in her mind, an honest scholar with a silly smile, but he can always make people feel like a spring breeze.
"I want to be with my cousin forever, count?" Pretending to be naΓ―ve, Yue Ling looked at Zhou Ping'er with a smile in her eyes and expectation.
"Count, why not?" Secretly laughing at her stupidity, Zhou Ping'er felt that she shouldn't have said this to her simple cousin, but the bitterness in her heart had no one to complain about except Princess Yongjia.
"Does that cousin have someone you like?"
Zhou Ping'er seemed to recall something, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised: "Yes!" Just ......"
Looking at Zhou Ping'er's appearance and her attitude of preferring to die rather than enter the palace, Yue Ling had a bold idea in her heart - didn't Zhou Ping'er already have a sweetheart?
"Who does my cousin like? Brother Huang? β
Zhou Ping'er's expression was suddenly stunned, and she looked embarrassed, she didn't want Princess Yongjia to misunderstand.
"Cousin, don't you like the imperial brother?" Yue Ling was surprised that Zhou Ping'er didn't like Xiao Junyan's performance.
Zhou Ping'er just shook her head and didn't answer. She didn't dare to say that she didn't like the Son of Heaven, so she could only stay away.
Without receiving an affirmative answer, Yue Ling looked worried: "Who does my cousin like?" β
Zhou Ping'er did not continue to remain silent, she regarded the princess's cousin as the only person to confide in: "He is a scholar with good conduct. The gentleman is square, gentle as jade, maybe he is talking about a person like him......"
"Cousin, you don't want to mention this person again in the palace!" Zhou Ping'er was talking, but Yue Ling covered her mouth.
Speaking of that person, Zhou Yun'er's expression was more radiant than usual. Yue Ling secretly sighed, her feelings were very harmful, and she even made Zhou Ping'er disdain the position of queen.
"I ......" also knew in her heart that it shouldn't be, but Zhou Ping'er believed that her cousin wouldn't talk nonsense.
Yue Ling pretended to be sensible: "Cousin, don't worry, I won't tell others." I can actually understand you, just like I like Yue Qingfeng, but we can never be together. β
I silently prayed in my heart that if my brother heard her say this in heaven, he would not misunderstand. I just wanted to make friends with Zhou Ping'er through the martyrdom of Princess Yongjia.
Both sisters are poor people, and at this time they can finally share the secrets hidden in their hearts.
Zhou Ping'er has a person hidden in her heart, which is good news for Yue Ling, she is worried that there is no way to break through, and Zhou Ping'er immediately sent her a stepping stone for a breakthrough.
"Cousin, why are you telling me this?" After the two sisters talked a lot, Yue Ling's face was full of excitement and surprise, as if she was knowing some big secret.
"Because Jiajia is simple and kind, she is the only person in this palace who cares about her cousin." Zhou Ping'er and Princess Yongjia grew up together since childhood, and they knew this cousin's temperament, so they confided in their hearts.
"The royal brother and mother also care about my cousin!"
When Zhou Ping'er heard Yue Ling's words, she didn't refute them, but just said other things with a smile: "When I was at home before, I never talked to Yun'er. Fortunately, there are still you in the palace, and it seems that the days are not so boring! β
"If my cousin likes it, you can often come to Xingqing Palace to play with me!" Yue Ling generously invited Zhou Ping'er, she was ready to slowly get close to Zhou Ping'er, use Zhou Ping'er to deal with Yan Qingyu, and finally provoke the struggle between Zhou and Yan's two families.
Since ancient times, the harem and the former dynasty have been inseparable. Yue Ling didn't believe that if she saw that Zhou Ping'er was about to become a new queen, Yan Qingyu would still be able to bear it.
The pressure had to be given to Yan Qingyu, otherwise she should have thought that with Xiao Junyan's grace, she would be able to sit back and relax in the position of concubine.
For Yue Ling's enthusiasm, how could Zhou Ping'er refuse, she was much happier in front of the princess's cousin than in Shoukang Palace.
