In the Zhaochun Palace, Han Cui led Shen Qingjiao all the way into the inner hall.

Lu Zhaoyi was sitting crookedly on the couch, and a little palace maid was kneeling on the ground, and the soft sheep in the dishes beside her dipped a little gaudy impatiens juice was evenly smeared on the fingernails of the palace concubine's ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, and then wrapped it with willow leaves that were softer after soaking in water.

When Lu Zhaoyi saw someone coming, her chin tilted her side and said, "You are here, sit down." ”

Compared with Fengluan Palace and Chonghua Palace, Zhaochun Palace is less magnificent, but a little more elegant, by the window is the side of the palace that has not been planted with the sparkling Xiangfei bamboo, the inconspicuous bamboo stems are full of spots, it is really as rumored, it seems to be sprinkled with beautiful tears, at the junction, a clear spring raises several bowls of lotus, the stone steps flow water, and the rain painting corridor is connected.

Look at the hall again, there is a pearl jasmine next to an acacia screen, and the traditional green yarn tent has also been replaced with a shadow yarn, although the shadow yarn is not as expensive as the green yarn, but the color is better, to say that the layout of the palace, Lu Zhaoyi didn't put a lot of thought, Shen Qingjiao must not believe it, she now feels more and more that Lu Zhaoyi is not as light as on the surface, just looking at her good reputation in the palace, Lu Zhaoyi is not simple.

Lu Zhaoyi looked at Shen Qingjiao with a smile, and after seeing her look around quietly, she laughed and said, "Is this palace much worse than the other palace?" ”

"Niangniang said that she laughed, the Niangniang palace is elegant and quiet, but it has a different flavor." Shen Qingyao smiled and took the tea handed by Han Cui.

Lu Zhaoyi glanced at Han Cui, and Han Cui let the little palace maid go out.

Lu Zhaoyi fiddled with her ten fingers and said with a smile: "You promised to come to the palace today, it seems that you have figured it out." This palace waited for you on the left and on the right, and I was afraid that you would admit the reason of death and refuse. Anyway, it's good to be able to figure it out, and in the palace, it's also important to support each other. ” 𝙈.𝕍🅾𝔻𝕋𝙒.𝘾𝕆𝙢

"Yes. It's just that the concubine still has something to ask Niangniang. Shen Qingjiao lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "Niangniang may have decided in her heart that it was the Queen Mother's mother, so should the concubine's words really be so important?" Or does the mother want the concubine to say it herself, so that the concubine can get on the same boat with the mother? ”

Lu Zhaoyi's fingertips stopped in the air, and then said with a smile: "What this palace thinks in his heart is of course different from what he heard in person. If you are worried, you can say it bluntly, it is nothing more than afraid that this palace will stab you in the back, right? ”

Lu Zhaoyi has always thought that Shen Qingjiao is smart, and Shen Qingjiao probably thinks that she will really be controlled by others, so she doesn't believe her, which is also human nature.

Shen Qingjiao smiled faintly: "It's too difficult to want a concubine to believe in a person, besides, the concubine has nothing to desire, so she naturally doesn't want to let the concubine herself fall into trouble, Niangniang, don't you say?" ”

Lu Zhaoyi was dumbfounded, unable to say anything to refute, she looked at Shen Qingjiao's desireless face, and then thought that she was now a noble concubine, and there was no family to rely on behind her, she really couldn't do anything to ask Shen Qingjiao to help her.

Lu Zhaoyi thought for a long time before he muttered: "Yes, this palace is only a Zhaoyi now, although it is ranked third, but there is no favor, no heirs, I can't promise you anything at all, if you really don't want to tell this palace, this palace can also understand." But the noble concubine, this palace thinks about it, and still wants to remind you. ”

"You are not as good as this palace, you have grace and appearance, you are lucky compared to so many women in the harem, but this palace really can't figure it out, why have you been favored for so long and have not been pregnant? Let this palace guess, it must be the Queen Mother who gave you the medicine to avoid children, right? You see, you can't even make your own decisions if you want to have a child. The heir is the luxury of the palace concubine's life, the city wall here is so high, the days are so long, don't you want to have a child by your side? ”

Lu Zhaoyi's earnest appearance didn't think of his child, but in Shen Qingyao's eyes, his mood was unwavering: "The concubine is going to be trapped in the palace for a lifetime, so naturally she doesn't want to have a child and watch him trapped in this Quartet." ”

"Confused, noble concubine, you are really confused." Lu Zhaoyi was not angry at Shen Qingyao's refusal to enter the oil and salt, but laughed loudly, shaking her head again and again to laugh at her innocence: "The Queen Mother won't let you give birth, you can not give birth, so what if the Queen Mother changes her mind and wants you to give birth?" Don't you have to be obedient yet? This palace is nothing more than telling you that as long as the Queen Mother is in one day, you will never be able to escape her control. ”

"And this palace can tell you that because of the concubine's miscarriage, the saint will only be more disgusted with the queen, think about it, if the queen has not been able to give birth to a concubine? What should she do? The smile lines on Lu Zhaoyi's lips were like broken ice on the surface of the lake, gradually spreading: "Giving birth to a child through the womb is the best way, think about the saint and the queen mother, isn't it a living example?" Our queen mother is not as simple as you think. ”

"Once you have an heir, the Queen Mother can find an excuse to take care of you until you give birth safely. At that time, it will end you quietly, and who will be suspicious, after all, a woman's childbirth is a ghost gate. Noble concubine, you can be of great use. Lu Zhaoyi carefully analyzed Shen Qingjiao, and stretched out her hand comfortably, letting Han Cui relieve the emerald willow leaves on her fingertips: "Isn't it good to find an extra way back for yourself?" This palace will convince the concubine that she is your way back. ”

Lu Zhaoyi's words echoed in the hall, the shadow veil was blown up by the autumn wind, rippling a layer of ripples, and the silver ling earrings in Shen Qingyao's ears shone slightly as she lowered her head and silently opened the autumn flowers at the corner of her mouth, and she said softly: "The concubine is shallow, thank you for reminding me." ”

Lu Zhaoyi turned around, with a vague smile of strategizing.

"What the concubine can tell the mother for sure is that the queen mother wants the concubine to attack the child in the womb of the virtuous concubine that day. The concubine knelt in front of the Queen Mother, and clearly heard the Queen Mother say: The eldest son will only occupy the name of the eldest son, and the rest is useless, and said that she has spent so much effort to go on, so she naturally can't tolerate another one. ”

Shen Qingjiao's voice with a little sarcasm brushed Lu Zhaoyi's ears, she was like a beast listening with her ears up, and her whole body stiffened, Shen Qingjiao of course noticed her strangeness at the moment, so she added another fire and said: "The concubine was in a cold sweat when she heard it, and she persuaded her because she was afraid, but the queen mother said: As long as the queen doesn't give birth to a concubine for a day, she doesn't mind solving a few more troubles." ”

Shen Qingjiao slightly tampered with the Queen Mother's words that day, but such hurtful words just opened the inside and revealed the most true and cruel side in front of Lu Zhaoyi.

Sure enough, the anger and sadness in Lu Zhaoyi's eyes turned into scarlet dots in the corners of her eyes, like a wounded she-wolf licking her wounds in the dark night.

Lu Zhaoyi's newly made dancome was firmly embedded in the soft palm, I don't know if it was not long enough, causing the impatiens juice to not dry up, or what, there was a warm liquid slowly dripping down the palm lines, Shen Qingjiao looked at the red plums blooming on the pure white carpet not far from the soles of her feet, and Lu Zhaoyi's undisguised anger, and deeply felt that she was slowly getting out of the control of others at this moment.

One by one, they want to make themselves a sword in their hands, but it also depends on whether she is willing or not.

Shen Qingjiao waited quietly, waiting for Lu Zhaoyi to calm down. After a few breaths of back and forth, Lu Zhaoyi quickly controlled his emotions and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother is really the Queen Mother, and she is not soft-hearted when calculating concubines. This palace should thank you so that this palace will not be kept in the dark for a lifetime. So, what exactly is the matter of the concubine? ”

It was not enough for Lu Zhaoyi to get an answer, she also wanted a second one, which was also expected by Shen Qingjiao, she glanced at Honeysuckle, and Honeysuckle immediately took out a small brocade box from her sleeve, the brocade box was delicate and small, which instantly attracted Lu Zhao's attention.

Shen Qingjiao wouldn't take out something irrelevant for no reason, and Lu Zhaoyi immediately wondered: "What is this?" ”

"The concubine Niangniang had a miscarriage that day, and the people around the concubine smelled a strange smell in the candle, did the concubine still remember that the queen mother said that the candle burned out, and it was unlucky, so she asked the falling moon of the Ci'an Temple to bring people to change the candles. The concubine is lucky, maybe this candle wick can solve the mystery in the mother's heart. ”

The brocade box was placed in Shen Qingjiao's palm, Lu Zhaoyi's eyes flickered, and she wanted to reach out to take it, but she was tightened by Shen Qingjiao's five fingers and strangled in the palm of her hand, her round and pink nails just covered the brocade box, Lu Zhaoyi was stunned, frowned and said, "Concubine? ”

What's the matter with taking everything out and taking it back?
