In the back garden of the 'Heart Palace', Xiao Tong helped Qingyi to take a walk in the garden, these days because of the close marriage between the little county lord and the emperor, the back garden has gradually become lively, although the level of the city has not yet been determined, but after all, it is the small county lord of a country, and the position of the concubine is inevitable.

This is also one of the bargaining chips for Qingyi's contract with Ruyue today, Ruyue has now reached the point where all the grass and trees are soldiers, even she no longer believes it, and naturally she can't tolerate this foreign county lord who is about to marry King Ding.

Qingyi walked into the garden, and everyone hurriedly saluted, but Qingyi waved his hand to signal that it didn't have to be so, so everyone began to get busy again.

After turning around, all kinds of flowers and plants in the garden have been pruned, but only Xiao Qiang on both sides of the 'moon viewing platform' is still the same, Qingyi pretended to be unintentional and said to the craftsman on the side: "Xiao Qiang in the garden is the most chaotic on this high platform, why not prune?" Qingyi looked up at the bright red flowers entwined with vines, twisted her eyebrows, and found that there was not a single bee butterfly today.

The pruning craftsman had never spoken to the imperial concubine, so he was so frightened that he didn't know how to answer for a while, and then he only heard a maid in front of the palace who came to supervise the work come forward to bless Qingyi, and said softly: "Back to Concubine De's words, this is the emperor's ban, and it is also the rule passed down through the generations, since Emperor Taizu established this 'moon viewing platform', except for the emperors of the past dynasties, no one is allowed to approach this platform."

Qing Yi smiled and nodded, glanced back at the blue-clothed palace maid, and said softly, "When did you enter the palace?" ”

The palace maid replied without fear: "If you go back to the mother, the slave maid has been in the palace for less than a year."

Less than a year? Xiao Tong's eyes widened, glanced up and down at the palace maid, and then looked at his master. In the forbidden palace of the Celestial Empire, the service of the palace maids is only divided into two classes, the first class is the blue-clothed palace maid who serves the emperor, and the second class is the blue-clothed palace maid who can be seen everywhere in the palace, and there is no palace maid for more than three years, it is impossible to enter the 'Heart Palace' to become the maid in front of the palace, and she is still supervising the work here, and this woman has only been in the palace for less than a year

"What's your name?" Xiao Tong couldn't help asking.

The woman smiled gently at Xiao Tong, bowed her head and said, "Back to Aunt Xiao Tong's words, the slave's name is Hua Ruxiao."

"Who are you?" Suddenly, Qingyi said without thinking, her eyes glanced at Hua Ruxiao, her eyes were clear but deep.

Xu didn't expect Qingyi to ask from this, Hua Ruxiao was stunned for a moment, and then replied cautiously, saying: "The slave maid is the sister of the flower beauty, and after the promotion of the flower beauty, she was taken refuge in, so she became a palace maid in the palace.

"Concubine Xian?" Xiao Tongxing's eyes widened, and then she hid her surprised look, and smiled at Hua Ruxiao: "Since you are Hua Meiren's own sister, how can Hua Meiren be willing to let you be separated from her?" Isn't it the virtuous concubine who embarrasses you? ”

Hua Ruxiao's originally calm face flashed a trace of panic, but then disappeared, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xiao Tong is really good at joking, Concubine Xian is gentle and virtuous, how can she embarrass the slave and her sister."

"Oh?" Xiao Tong smiled weirdly, and then said: "That's okay, okay, you're busy, I'll walk around with Niangniang, and it won't hinder you from doing things", as he spoke, he helped Qingyi and said with a smile: "Niangniang, let's go to the 'Library' to rest"|,|

Qingyi nodded, holding Xiao Tong's arm, and walked in the direction of the 'Han Imperial Library', while Hua Ruxiao behind him hurriedly blessed and said: "Niang Niang go slowly"

Stepping into the 'Han Imperial Library', Xiao Tong hurriedly helped Qingyi to a concubine chair, then reached out and gently pressed Qingyi's forehead, slowly kneading, and said in a low voice: "How did Miss know that the maid had a relationship with the flower beauty just now?" Seeing the young lady's affirmative look just now, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Qingyi closed her eyes and said with a light smile: "It is naturally unusual for a palace maid who has just entered the palace for less than a year to become a maid in front of the palace, and it is similar to the name of Hua Rushuang."

Xiao Tong was stunned, and then nodded, just wanted to make a joke, but heard Qingyi say again: "An hour later, you go to spread some news, just say that the flower is like Xiao Zi is extraordinary, and he is good at learning, and he is favored by the emperor, and it may become the second winter moon, so that Concubine Xian will take the initiative to take back the palace maid and suppress the flower beauty."

Xiao Tong's hand froze, and then walked in front of Qingyi, and said in a daze: "Didn't Miss say that flower beauties can't become climate?" Why do you have to work against her? Now every soldier has to be cautious, why do it for a beauty who can't become a climate?

Qingyi got up and walked to the bookcase, but said coldly: "It's true that she can't become the climate, but if she is restless, then she must not stay."

In the 'Han Imperial Library', Xiao Tong sorted out a lot of books in the attic, but none of them recorded the events of Qingyi's concubine back then, but they were all some poems, handwritten notes on the way to govern the country. So Xiao Tong moved the books back to the attic, but found a picture of 'treading the snow and looking for plum blossoms' painted by a woman in the dusty place.

Xiao Tong happily spread the painting in front of Qingyi, and said: "Miss, after being busy for an hour, I finally have some gains, you see that the payment of this painting has only one 'month' word, could it be made by Qingyi Guifei?" ”

Qingyi rubbed her forehead lightly, got up and walked to the ink painting spread on the ground, suddenly, her eyebrows moved slightly, only to feel that the plum blossoms painted in the painting were so familiar, and when she looked closely, she found that the place where the plum blossoms were located was actually the 'plum blossom forest' in the imperial garden, and it was the place where she first met Yu Haotian, in the painting, the piano stand and the stone bench were exactly the same.

Qingyi couldn't help but wonder, and suddenly remembered that most of the poems in Yu Xu's handwritten poems were Yongmei words, and the enchanting arrogance of plum blossoms was vividly expressed, but the most impressive one for her was a poem: 'Love Loyal Plum' and 'Beauty Love', which shows that the beauty in Yu Xu's words must be Qingyi Guifei, and because Qingyi Guifei loves plum blossoms alone, she made a large number of Yongmei words.

"Miss?" Xiao Tong looked at Qingyi's lightly twisted eyebrows, and called out with some doubts, then put the painting away, brushed the dust on it, and said: "This painting is quite like the scenery in the Imperial Garden", more like the 'Plum Blossom Forest Sea' on the way to the 'Changqing Palace' in the 'Small Building in the Heart of the Lake'.

Qingyi nodded, but he didn't say much, only said: "I think it must be that Qingyi Guifei is loyal to Mei, so I made this 'Treading Snow and Looking for Mei'", and then turned around and walked to the chair, and said with a tired face: "Put it away first, I'm a little tired"

Xiao Tong nodded, he couldn't help but be a little discouraged about today's events, he didn't want to be busy for more than an hour and got nothing, his heart was overflowing with guilt, but he still smiled obediently: "It's okay, the slave maid sent the young lady back to the palace to rest", as he spoke, he rolled up the painting again, and went up the escalator to the attic

In the 'Palace of Eternal Life', Qingyi was half-leaning on the couch, looking at the phoenix ivory comb with some distraction, caressing the carefully considered lines with his bare hands, and there was an indescribable sourness in his heart. Gently lowered his hand, turned his eyes to his wound that was bandaged with a bright yellow ribbon, lowered his eyelashes, as if he didn't want to think about it, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.

Since she became pregnant, Qingyi has become more and more sleepy day by day, and every time she wakes up for less than an hour, she feels tired again, but her body is not as weak as a few days ago, and she can eat more or less food, and she will no longer feel uncomfortable when she smells the bitter taste of the tonics, but she still feels weak all over her body, and she is lazy a lot

After half a pillar of incense, Gonggong Qin hurriedly entered the hall, and when he saw Qingyi lying on the couch resting, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "The slave sees Concubine De Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an"

Qingyi's eyebrows moved, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, she slowly opened her eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of Gonggong Qin's bowing figure, she was stunned at first, and then got up and said, "What makes Gonggong so nervous?" ”｜，｜

was stunned, and then Gonggong Qin realized that there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, so he hurriedly pinched his long sleeves and wiped it, and then said: "Back to Niangniang, the emperor wants the slave to pass the message to Niangniang, today at noon, the emperor will not go back to the 'Heart Palace' to accompany Niangniang to dine, because the envoys of the 'Ziyu Country' visited, the emperor specially held a banquet in the 'Jinluan Palace'"

With a flash of light in his eyes, Qingyi's thoughts suddenly tensed, and then he said lightly in confusion: "The envoy of the 'Purple Jade Country'? ”

Gonggong Qin bowed his head and said: "Serious business, because seven days later is the auspicious day of the wedding between the emperor and the lord of Allure, and the envoys of the 'Purple Jade Country' came to congratulate the emperor by the order of the lord of the Purple Jade Country, and brought a thousand catties of gold, ten thousand quintals of silver, jewelry, and three carriages of silk herbs as a congratulatory gift."

"I see" Qingyi stroked her forehead, pretending to be absent-minded, and then smiled lightly, supported her forehead with her bare hands, and asked lightly as if she was tired: "Then does the emperor have time to accompany the palace at night?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, wait for the slave to go to the Ming Emperor and then reply to the mother" Qin Gonggong replied respectfully, and when he saw Qingyi nodding slightly, he hurriedly got up and walked out of the dormitory, covering the door of the palace

"Purple Jade Country" Qing Yi looked at the departing figure of Gonggong Qin and muttered softly. The eyes gradually sharpened, 'gold thousand catties, silver ten thousand quintals' can afford such a big stroke, it must not be an ordinary person, moreover, the marriage between Leng Xiao and the Celestial Empire is not an overnight thing, the sixteen countries have long known, but there is no movement at all, why is it only the 'Purple Jade Country' that has taken so much trouble to send envoys to congratulate?

Yu Qing, the emperor is not the first time to get married, and it is just a concubine, Yu Li, the emperor accepts a concubine who has not yet been determined, and an irrelevant vassal state sends this large amount of congratulatory gifts, is it really criticized, or does he really make a picture?

Qingyi's sleepiness was completely gone, she got up and stepped down on the couch, walked to the window lightly, looked at the gardener who was still busy in the garden, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Leng Guyun for some days, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, the wedding of the lord of Allure County was imminent, and now the movement of the 'Purple Jade Country' was unknown, she didn't believe that Leng Guyun could still be so calm, and ignored the matter of 'wedding dress magic' and the dethronement of the queen

....

....

....

At noon, there was a commotion in the harem, and when the concubines heard that the 'Purple Jade Country' had sent a rich celebration gift, they all discussed, whether the 'Purple Jade Kingdom' also wanted to marry the Celestial Empire, otherwise why did they come up with such a big hand? ｜，｜

Of course, this speculation is not groundless, the older concubines in the harem basically know that when Ruyue Guifei was deposed three years ago, Xiao Sa, the lord of the 'Purple Jade Country', once brought the thirteen-year-old little princess Xiao Min to Huaiyue to worship, and also proposed to marry the thirteen-year-old little princess Xiao Min to the emperor, but the emperor dismissed it on the grounds that the princess was still young. Now, Princess Xiao Min is already twenty-eight years old and has not yet married, and the 'Purple Jade Country' has sent such a congratulatory gift, and her heart is clear.

When Xiao Tong heard about this in the harem, he couldn't help but have a pain in his forehead, and he didn't want this little county lord of the alluring city to enter the house yet, and the 'Purple Jade Country' came to participate in it again, although it was indeed inevitable at this time, just like the first emperor, among the more than eighty concubines in the harem, fifteen of them were from the sixteen countries to pay tribute, and they all occupied the position of one and two products, and there were few people who were favored at that time, after all, those royal princesses did not give in to each other, and there were a lot of turmoil in the harem.

After the 'Ziyun Pavilion' of the 'Imperial Garden', Xiao Tong sat on the stone behind the rockery in a blue dress, looking lazily at the palace maids who were busy but chirping around the pavilion, she listened to them talk a little about the little princess of the 'Purple Jade Country', and then saw Gonggong Li, who was obsessed with dusting and wearing a brown red-crowned crane court dress, hurriedly came, and then hurriedly stepped forward when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Tong's blue clothes and said: "Aunt Xiao Tong has been waiting for a long time"

In the past few days, because I was busy with the emperor's wedding banquet, the harem was much more lively than usual, and I talked about the emperor's wedding, as well as the news that Concubine De was pregnant with the emperor's heir, but it was true or false, and I don't know where it came from, and even a few little eunuchs gathered to bet on whether Concubine De was a princess or a prince in her belly.

Such things, most of the masters of the harem also turned a blind eye, but Gonggong Li and Gonggong Zhao were ordered by the Queen Mother to catch a lot of bets of the little eunuchs and went to the 'Stick Punishment Bureau' to play the board, so when the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem saw Gonggong Li, most of them only thought that he was supervising again, so they all stopped talking and got busy.

Xiao Tong looked at the palace maids who didn't speak and began to be busy, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and then said in a low voice: "My mother was originally worried that the queen would be grounded, and Gonggong Li's life would be sad, but she didn't want Gonggong Li to be reused by the queen mother.

Gonggong Li smiled, and after saying two words of flattery to Concubine De, he whispered: "What does Concubine De want to do with the slave this time?" Every time Xiao Tong looks for him, there must be something to send and a heavy reward. ｜，｜

Xiao Tong smiled, "Gonggong Li is so anxious to make meritorious service every time, is it possible that he owes money again?" "About Gonggong Li, Xiao Tong has privately investigated, he only entered the palace at the age of eighteen to become a eunuch, because of a clever mouth, and good at combing women's hair, was favored by the queen, stayed by her side for nearly eight years of redundancy, no hobbies, but only outside the palace to meet a group of people of three religions and nine streams, often in the casino brothels, because Li Rong is a eunuch, so in the brothel to find a good match, some time ago to redeem it in a large courtyard, with jewelry and food offerings, so spent a lot of savings

Gonggong Li blushed and smiled, but did not evade, only said: "The slave can serve Concubine De Niangniang, it is a god-given kindness, even if the mother does not reward, the slave will definitely serve the work of the whole horse", said, his eyes narrowed, he smiled falsely, and said again: "Aunt Xiao Tong, the things that the slaves wanted to do a few days ago, the slaves have already done it, and they have also bought a group of dead soldiers to guard the 'Si Du Palace' at night, as long as Shangguan Zhong has any movement, they will do it immediately."

Xiao Tong nodded with satisfaction, took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve and stuffed them into Gonggong Li's hands, and said with a smile: "Niangniang really didn't misunderstand Father-in-law, today's matter is very simple, you just need to find a few trustworthy palace maids, let them spread rumors about Hua Meiren and her sister Hua Ruxiao in the palace, just say that the emperor has taken a fancy to Hua Ruxiao, and it is very likely that she will be canonized as a royal maid, and this matter is still arranged by Hua Meiren in secret", and then thought about it and said: "It is best to pass this matter into the ears of Concubine Xian, she has no more peaceful days to live, It's better to take this opportunity to keep her busy for a while", once people are idle, they will be prone to cranky thoughts.

Gonggong Li looked at the silver ticket in his hand, and he smiled, but then he twisted his eyebrows again, and whispered with a little puzzlement: "Auntie, forgive the slave for being blunt, the Hua family can't become a climate, so why bother the mother to deal with it?" Now the situation outside the palace and inside the palace is very tense, if we are not careful, we may become dead sheep in prison, once the Shangguan clan and the Ouyang clan smell the wrong smell, it is inevitable that they will not join forces to deal with the Dusk clan."

Xiao Tong lowered her eyelids, how could she not understand this truth, but..."Concubine Xian's transfer of Hua Ruxiao into the 'Heart Palace' must have a purpose, if she is Concubine Xian's spies, wouldn't Niangniang's plan be more dangerous, not to mention that Concubine Xian's mind is unpredictable, how can she go to great lengths to buy her into the 'Heart Palace' for a little palace maid who is not sure at all?" Therefore this person must be removed"|,|

Gonggong Li nodded a little clearly, put away the silver ticket, hooked up and said loudly: "Please aunt tell Concubine De Niangniang, the slave will definitely try his best to calm down the incident in the harem, no one has talked about the dragon heir in Concubine De's womb recently, and the Queen Mother also prays for Concubine De and the prince on weekdays, so please let Concubine De Niangniang feel relieved"

Xiao Tong glanced at the palace maids who were looking sideways, and nodded: "Then there is Father-in-law Lao, I should also go back, Father-in-law go slowly"

"Aunt Xiao Tong walks slowly" Gonggong Qin bowed his head and said respectfully, and then turned around and walked towards the 'Ziyun Pavilion', those palace maids avoided one after another, and their faces were flustered
