Cining Palace.

Aunt Guan held the three volumes of scriptures for the Queen Mother to read.

A surge of blood came up again.

The Queen Mother almost retched.

"Queen Mother, which cabinet will these three volumes of scriptures be received?"

"Burned." The Queen Mother closed her eyes and didn't want to look at it again.

In Cining Palace, a thick smoke rose, and in the copper basin, there were scriptures excerpted by Tian Lingyue.

The Queen Mother is a person who understands Buddhism, advocating goodness and less blood and light disasters. This bloody scripture, the Queen Mother really doesn't like it.

"The Queen Mother accepted this scripture, and she also saved Tian Xiunu's face." Aunt Guan gave the Queen Mother a slap on the back: "It's just that Tian Xiunu will be wrong, thinking that the Queen Mother will like to write scriptures in blood." ”

"Although the mourning family doesn't like this scripture, and it doesn't matter whether she really thinks about the mourning family or pretends to remember the mourning family, but at the chrysanthemum banquet, she respectfully presents the scriptures, and the harem concubines are all there, and the mourning family can only say that she is good, otherwise which concubine will dare to be good to the mourning family in the future?"

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, but Tian Xiunu has stolen the limelight from Wei Guiren, otherwise it would be Wei Guiren who will be the one who sleeps tonight."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

I heard the queen's voice coming: "Ahem, cough, cough, I'm so choked, what's burning in the basin, it's such a big smoke." ”

Wei Zhaoning followed behind the queen, silent, just secretly covered his nose with a handkerchief.

Aunt Guan brought the fruit, and the queen sat far away and ate it.

Wei Zhaoning sat on the left side of the Queen Mother and handed a fruit to the Queen Mother first.

The Queen Mother took the fruit, ate it carefully, and saw that Wei Zhaoning didn't speak, so she said, "I have wronged you today." ”

"The Queen Mother knows my grievances, so I will not be wronged."

"You're such a sensible child. This time it was an accident, I thought it was you who was sleeping, but I never thought that Tian Xiunu was just a long way to come, you have such a talent, and you are the daughter of the Wei family, so naturally it is not bad. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Changle Palace.

The palace maid went to inquire about the news, and sure enough, she saw Tian Lingyue go to Taihe Palace.

"Even Du Changzai was deflated, the slave and maid really saw it, it was Tian Xiunu who went to bed."

"She's got some skills." Meng Yuzhu took a golden fork and tied a piece of snack: "Such a person, if he accepts it for use, it will save the palace from going out to offend people, and he can also be the right-hand man of the palace." ”

"But Niangniang, she is ruthless and attacks herself, Niangniang is not afraid that she will disobey discipline?"

"What are you afraid of, I know all those things about her, can she still jump out of my palm?"

Taihe Palace.

The emperor was a little unenergetic.

If it is someone else's bed, the emperor can still handle it.

Tian Lingyue, the emperor was not impressed by her, but now that he saw the bloodstained words she wrote, the emperor had to look at her with admiration.

Tian Lingyue's goal was achieved.

She's gone to bed.

As if she was afraid that the emperor would regret it, Tian Lingyue began to undress as soon as she entered the bedroom.

She wore a thin and plain dress, first dismantling the high bun, removing the pale cyan chrysanthemums from the middle of her hair, and then began to unbutton her clothes.

The plain clothes with the makeup brocade and the silver wire buckle are unfastened, and you can see her snow-white neck.

She sat on the edge of the bed and undressed in silence.

The emperor walked to the other side of the screen: "Tian Lingyue, you don't have to be like this. Although it is you who sleeps in the bed, sometimes the waiter does not undress directly. ”

Tian Lingyue's hand stopped in mid-air.

After a while, Tian Lingyue then untied the silver buckle: "Your Majesty, the eunuch in the respectful room is still recording files outside, and the teaching grandmother is also waiting outside." Where the slave and maid are not serving well, you can change it, and please don't be angry. ”

"I'm not moving."

"Then the emperor, please rest in peace, the slave maid will give the emperor wide clothes."

Through the screen, you can hear the sound of rustling.

The emperor was afraid that Tian Lingyue would catch him and take off his clothes.

He really didn't want Tian Lingyue to sleep this night, he was also a human being, and he couldn't summon concubines every day, and he had to have a time to rest.

The emperor is not a donkey to the production team, he can keep grinding.

But Tian Lingyue is obviously a little upset, maybe it's a rare opportunity.

The emperor leaned on the screen and said, "Tian Xiunu, I didn't let you come, not to ...... I want to tell you that you have a filial piety to the Queen Mother, and tomorrow, I will appoint you as Tian. ”

"Your Majesty." Tian Lingyue burst into tears.

"You're tired of copying scriptures these days, so go back tonight and rest early. The matter of Jin Feng, tomorrow morning, Gao Rang will go to the Yongfu Hall to announce the decree. ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has another request."

"You say."

"Please ask the emperor to let the slaves and maids move out of the Yongfu Palace."

"Move out of the Hall of Eternal Blessing?" The emperor was a little puzzled, the Yongfu Palace has always been harmonious, and the two in the Yongfu Hall seem to have a good relationship with Tian Lingyue, could it be that they collapsed?

The emperor ate melons, picked up the moonlight woven Jinlan shirt and sat down at the window: "Why do you want to move?" ”

"The slave wants to be closer to the emperor. This is the selfishness of the slave and the maid. ”

This sounds like a lie, and it is not true when you taste it.

Of course, there are few women in the palace who dare to tell the truth to the emperor.

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Where do you want to move to?" ”

"The slave maid wants to move to Changle Palace and live in the side hall of Changle Palace."

Changle Palace is the palace where Meng Yuzhu lives, Meng Yuzhu is arrogant, the crow flies through the gate of Changle Palace and is slapped twice because of the two wings, not to mention the palace people, the people in the palace are too late to hide from Meng Yuzhu, and no one has ever taken the initiative to ask to live in Changle Palace.

"Have you thought about it?"

"The slave has thought about it."

Since Tian Lingyue has thought about it, anyway, Meng Yuzhu's Changle Palace has several courtyards, and there is room in the side hall, so let her move over.

Tian Lingyue prostrate on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor: "The emperor is long, the slave and maid are waiting for you to settle." ”

"No need, you're tired too, go back."

The file eunuch outside looked down at his bare notebook, a little helpless.

Mama is very experienced in teaching, but she just knelt there and listened quietly.

Gao Rang hugged the dust and yawned.

The eunuch of the worship room looked at the sky, it was not early. The sky in the distance has long been unable to see the colors.

The wind had been blowing for more than an hour, and it was getting colder and colder.

The long corridor is far and near hung with goose-yellow octagonal palace lamps, swaying like duck egg yolks.

I don't know when, there is a cold thing floating down in the sky, because it is dark, but I can't see clearly, look up at the goose yellow palace lamp, only to find that it is the north wind rolling fine snowflakes falling down, white, one by one, some are attached to the palace lamp, soon melted, the palace lamp slowly became wet, and some fell on the bluestone floor tiles, because the snow was thin, the snow flakes on the bluestone floor tiles did not have time to accumulate, and they quickly melted away. The snowflakes that fell on the robes of the night watchmen who were more than ten feet away also melted, and new snowflakes fell on another layer.

The red walls and green tiles, the palace courtyard is deep, and the night is exceptionally quiet.

The snow came earlier this year, perhaps because of the sudden colder weather.

Gorang yawned again.

The eunuch in the respectful room had a difficult face: "The emperor seems to be asleep, how should I keep the file today?" ”

The teacher said gently: "The emperor is tired for a day, and it is normal to talk to the concubines and fall asleep." ”

Gao Rang nodded: "What Mama said is very true, the emperor's day, it is another review and a chrysanthemum banquet, but it is not easy." ”

A few people whispered a few words, and then they heard the door of Taihe Palace "squeak-" open.

A scent of avocado poured out with the afterglow of the charcoal fire.

Tian Lingyue, who was as light as a chrysanthemum, walked out of the Taihe Palace.

Several people outside the hall were stunned.

It's not early, it's still snowing outside, and the emperor in Taihe Palace has probably been settled, why did Tian Lingyue come out again?

Gao Rang obediently said: "Tian Xiunu, it's snowing outside, do you need anything?" ”

"I'm guarding the emperor outside the palace tonight."

Tian Lingyue had already left the dormitory, and the eunuch and the eunuch withdrew first.

Gao Rang guarded the door of Taihe Palace and stood respectfully in the shadow of the lamp.

The snow was heavier at night.

In less than half an hour, the small snow flakes became goose feathers, wrapped in the north wind, and fell one after another. Dense and cold.

The palace lamp was soaked, and snow began to accumulate on the bluestone floor tiles of Taihe Palace, and snow began to accumulate on the robes of the night vigil eunuchs more than ten zhang away.

Tian Lingyue didn't say a word, and knelt down opposite Gao Rang.

Eunuchs do not have to kneel for vigil, they can stand.

But Tian Lingyue knelt down directly, and Gao Rang didn't dare to stand, so he could only kneel on the cold bluestone floor tiles.

On a snowy night, the floor tiles are very cold.

Gao Rang, a eunuch who has served the emperor since he was a child, was also so cold that he gritted his teeth.

Tian Lingyue, a weak woman, knelt upright and didn't say a word.

A night of snow.

At dawn the next day, there were no shoes and socks in the snow in Taihe Palace.

The palace maids who swept the snow began to sweep the snow, and another palace maid came into the palace to add charcoal fire.

Tian Lingyue's lips were so white that she almost fainted.

"Little master, this-" Gao Rang was a little embarrassed: "You wait, I'll go in and pass it on to you." ”

"No need, Father-in-law Xie Gao is kind, I'll go back first." Tian Lingyue stood up with her support for the pillar, stabilized her spirit, and walked down the next step.

In the Taihe Palace, Gao Rang carefully buttoned the emperor.

The carrot charcoal in the purple gold carved furnace was burning vigorously, and the room was steaming, and the palace maid opened the two windows on the east side and added some avocado fragrance.

The aroma is thick, suppressing the snow outside.

The outside of the room was already covered in snow.

Through the two open windows, looking at the palace outside, it is already white.

Gao Rang tied the button for the emperor and tied a sachet for the emperor.

The emperor straightened his sleeves: "Who are you talking to when you get up in the morning, it seems to be a woman." ”

"The slave is talking to the little master Tian."

"Which little master?"

"Tian Xiunu of the Eternal Blessing Palace."

The emperor was a little stunned, obviously he had asked Tian Lingyue to return to the Yongfu Hall last night, didn't she go back?

"She kept watch outside the temple all night?"

"Yes. Tian Xiaozhu knelt outside the hall all night, and the emperor woke up in the morning before she went back. ”

This woman.

The emperor suddenly couldn't see through it.

At the chrysanthemum banquet, she won the green eyes of the queen mother, so as to save the country and successfully entered the door of the Taihe Palace.

Although the emperor didn't say anything on the surface, he didn't like women who were too eager for quick success. Tian Lingyue was filial to the Queen Mother on the surface, just to want the emperor to look up to her and build a bridge for her to get close to the emperor.

The emperor complied with her wishes and was ready to reward her with a promised position.

This woman actually knelt all night outside the temple in the bitter cold.

first cut her hands to copy the scriptures, and then knelt down on a snowy night for a night, she was very ruthless to herself.

For a while, the emperor didn't know what to say about her.

"What do you think of Tian Lingyue?" The emperor asked Gao Rang.

Gao Rang actually had the same idea as the emperor. But he didn't dare to say nonsense: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the little master Tian likes you very much." ”

Don't dare to talk nonsense, you can only talk nonsense.

The emperor sighed: "Do you think so?" ”

"Slaves are also foolish."

As he was talking, the Queen Mother came.

In the past, the emperor went to the queen mother to say goodbye to the queen mother in the morning, but the snow was heavy on this day, but I didn't expect the queen to be so early.

The emperor hurriedly cleaned up the East Warm Pavilion, and asked Gao Rang to bring the stove and put it at the feet of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother gave Aunt Guan a look, and Aunt Guan presented the stewed ginger soup.

The queen mother was afraid that the emperor would be cold, and it was the first snow of the year, so she specially ordered Aunt Guan to stew ginger soup, thinking that he would let him drink a bowl in front of the emperor in advance to drive away the cold and warm his body.

The emperor opened the bowl, but found it empty. I had to put the bowl back in.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gao Rang hurriedly served tea to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't look at it.

"The Queen Mother has worked hard all the way, with such a heavy snowfall, why bother to run this trip."

The Queen Mother held the Buddha beads and said: "The mourning family is sitting on the shoulder, what is the obstacle, some people are pitiful." ”

"The Queen Mother is saying?"

"On the way to Taihe Palace just now, I met Tian Lingyue, who was sleeping last night. Under careful questioning, the mourning family knew that she knelt outside the Taihe Palace all night, what mistake did she make, the emperor punished her to kneel all night, could it be that she copied the scriptures for the mourning family and fell to the emperor? ”

It turned out that the Queen Mother met Tian Lingyue.

"Tian Xiunu didn't make a mistake, it was all a misunderstanding."

The mourners looked at her very pitifully. Kneeling all night, her legs were weak, such a cold day, she was dressed so thinly, her lips were frozen white, the mourning family couldn't stand it, and she drank the ginger soup for the emperor, Jian'er, the first emperor has always ruled the world with leniency and benevolence, the first emperor liked you very much, and often said that you are lenient and benevolent, and you have his demeanor, how can you treat the palace people so harshly now? “

The queen mother instructed, and the emperor only listened.

"If you don't speak, you don't accept what the mourning family said."

always felt that something was wrong, it seemed that Tian Lingyue took a move and circled the emperor, but at the moment, the emperor could only say: "Queen Mother, I am convinced." ”

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and get a sedan chair to carry Tian Xiunu back to the Yongfu Hall for placement? Otherwise, on such a cold day, she moved step by step, so that the people in the palace could see it, and she had no choice but to talk about the emperor's meanness behind her back. ”

The Queen Mother always thinks about the emperor's reputation.

Gao Rang listened, and went to drive Fengluan Chunen's car, and went out of Taihe Palace to chase Tian Lingyue.

Tian Lingyue was still walking on the long road, with no jewelry on her bun, but now it was covered with snow, like a white hair, and the pale cyan chrysanthemum in her hair was also dyed white.

It was still early, and the snow on the road had not yet been cleared, and it seemed that the sky and the earth were full of snow.

A long trail of footprints is densely packed.

Gao Rang personally lifted the curtain of the car and invited Tian Lingyue to sit in.

The snow is getting denser.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and even the red wall outside is blurred through the gauze curtains.

Tian Lingyue sat on the sedan chair and said softly: "Father-in-law Gao, you have worked hard for this trip." ”

"Minions don't work hard."

"Did the emperor ask you to send me back to the Yongfu Palace?"

"Yes."

A smile flashed on Tian Lingyue's face, perhaps because she was afraid of being seen, she took out her handkerchief and pretended to brush the snow off her face.

The palace walls are towering.

The sedan ride is slow.

Layers of snow were coming down, and it was getting colder and colder.

Emperor: I, the emperor, did it, and I was aggrieved

Queen Mother: Jian'er, what did you say?
