"Since Niangniang knows that the Queen Mother is going to attack her, it is unknown whether she can survive or not, so why does Niangniang go to great lengths to plan tonight's play, if she wants to warn the Queen Mother, there will be opportunities in the future, why do you want to act on this tuyere today?"

Cicada Yi frowned slightly, although she had roughly guessed the reason, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, and under the worry, she couldn't help but ask.

Hua Qiong's eyes flashed, and she slowly looked at the lampstand on the side, and her eyes gradually became blurred with the flickering of the candle flame.

"When the palace saw Lin Yuewan, I was shocked to realize that this was actually a bureau set up by the queen mother, whether it was the palace or the emperor, they would all enter the queen mother's bureau tonight - if the emperor was allowed to go to the imperial garden, the emperor would definitely see the mood, then the palace's status in the palace would be threatened; But if the palace went to the imperial garden, it happened to fall into the trap of the queen mother. ”

Speaking of this, her phoenix eyes were half-constricted, and a cold glow suddenly burst out in her eyes, "In order to prevent their mother and son from having a dislike for their mother and son, the Queen Mother summoned this girl into the palace after taking away Prince Lu, which shows that the Queen Mother did not intend to let her go from the beginning." The Queen Mother asked her to go to the Imperial Garden, just to get rid of her by the hand of the palace and reap the profits herself, but the Queen Mother didn't expect that the palace did not embarrass Lin Yuewan, so the Queen Mother would be eager to attack her, and if Lin Yuewan had an accident, the Queen Mother could shift all the responsibility to the palace and let the palace become her scapegoat. If Hongu doesn't take this step, how can he prove his innocence to him, and when the time comes, how will he look at Hongu? ”

Hua Qiong was bathed in a warm halo, but there was a trace of coldness in her delicate and charming tone, revealing a gritted hatred and an unspeakable sadness.

"Niangniang......" Cicada Yi looked at her, feeling a little sour in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a trace of distress in her eyes.

Hua Qiong closed her eyes, suppressed the restlessness in her heart, turned her eyes and picked up the filigree silver-inlaid gemstone makeup box on the dressing table, held it in her hand, and gently stroked the lid of the box with her moist fingertips, as if recalling something from the past, the coldness between her eyebrows and eyes was gradually smoothed out, and a soft light appeared.

"What the palace wants is to let the Queen Mother owe him a favor, with this kindness, at least he can save his life in the future, as for whether this girl is alive or dead, the palace doesn't care, if she can survive, the Queen Mother will not embarrass her in the future, and it should be a gift from the palace to him."

Seeing her like this, Cicada Yi was full of hidden worries, and couldn't help but remind her loudly: "But once the dust settles on tonight's matter, even if the Queen Mother has no evidence, she will count this matter on Niangniang's head and treat Niangniang as a revenge. ”

Seeing a trace of struggle flashing on her face, Cicada Yi bit her lip, and continued to say: "If Niangniang wants to do it once and for all, the best way is to attack Prince Lu, Prince Lu is the lifeblood of the Queen Mother, as long as Prince Lu dies, the Queen Mother will collapse, then Niangniang will have no worries in the future, and the four princes can also sit on the throne smoothly." ”

"This palace has been suppressed by the Queen Mother for so many years, do you think this palace doesn't want to cut off her lifeline?" Hua Qiong said hatefully, and then her eyes flickered, and her charming eyes were dyed with a hint of melancholy, which seemed to contain unspeakable bitterness, "But how dangerous it is to do this, a little carelessness will put the Hua family in danger, the queen mother is already a person in her last years, how can it be worth this palace to gamble with the future of the Hua family, not to mention ......"

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, she looked at the makeup box in her hand, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said slowly: "What's more, Prince Lu is still his only best friend......

When Cicada Yi heard this, her lips moved, as if she wanted to persuade her to do something, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't say anything.

She didn't understand, what Niangniang said and did, where was it just for the Hua family, if there was no Niangniang to help in secret all these years, just with a prince of idle clouds and wild cranes, how could Xuanjilou be peaceful in Nanling, a place where eating people and not spitting out bones, was peaceful to this day? If it weren't for that person, Niangniang had been suppressed by the Queen Mother for so long, I am afraid that she would have attacked Prince Lu a long time ago, and she would not have been able to take the risk of taking this step today, which would anger the Queen Mother.

Cicada Yi sighed heavily in her heart and muttered, "Niangniang, why are you ...... doing this?"

Hua Qiong carefully opened the makeup box, only to see a begonia lying quietly inside and shaking it step by step, and the finely carved white jade petals were stacked on top of each other, with Jin Tian as the stamen, embedded with Li beads in the middle, and beaded tassels underneath. Although the craftsmanship is fine, it is still slightly inferior to the dazzling pearls on this dressing table, but it is better to preserve it very properly, and there is a sense of timelessness, which should be caused by the owner's great cherishment.

"Maybe it's because I've been in this deep palace for a long time, and I'm used to seeing the hot and cold world, some memories and some people will seem beautiful and insurmountable."

Hua Qiong stared, her eyes were shy, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift back into the distance, letting the past wind and moon bully her brows.

In March of that year, the spring feast.

The willows on the shore are green and condensed, and the flowers are painted with spring red. The wind is delicate and warm, the cold smoke on the waves is green, the covered bridge is watery, and the Qiong feast sits on the flowers and flies.

This was the last time Hua Qiong attended the spring banquet held by the nobles of the family, because soon after, she would enter the palace to marry the most noble person in the Nanling Kingdom. Originally, with her current identity, she should not show her face again, but she couldn't stand the repeated invitations of Yanzhi and the two sisters, and she also knew that once she entered the palace gate, she was afraid that she would never be able to see the world outside the palace walls again, so she simply indulged herself again, and then agreed to come together.

Hua Qiong saw the women's seat from a distance, the hibiscus peach blossom face, the fragrant wind clustered Luo Qi, the cloud sideburns and the sleeves, Shaohua Douli, the grand scene was as in previous years, and it was like embroidery.

She smiled with her lips, walked to the seat with the two sisters and sat down, and couldn't help but exchange a few words with people halfway, all she heard were some words of envy and congratulations, clichés, Hua Qiong suddenly felt bored.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion between the male guests on the opposite side, Hua Qiong was not surprised, every year can come here to the banquet, all of them are the sons and ladies of the nobles of the family, they were arranged by the family to come here for the purpose of naturally to win over each other and consolidate the power of their own family, so this banquet also secretly became a blind date banquet. The uproar just now, I don't know which gentleman deliberately did it in order to attract the attention of the ladies here.

Hua Qiong smiled and took a sip of fragrant tea, Fang Yi raised his eyes, but saw that the ladies in the banquet were either powdered with spring or Yun Jiaoyu timid, all looking in the direction of the men's seat stupidly.

Looking forward to the circulation, all kinds of customs surround the eyebrows, and the smoke is flattering and the red sleeves are moved.

Hua Qiong was a little suspicious in her heart, her eyes flickered, and she looked at it, and with just one glance, she saw the handsome young man in the silver crown and ink robe from the bustling crowd.

And this glance made her fall into the catastrophe.
