When I first saw him, I suddenly had a very sudden feeling, as if everything around me had become a bit illusory. Those pavilions, pavilions, carved railings and jade inlays, at this moment, with the passage of time over the years, no longer

As time goes by, many people and things, I thought they were gone, but in fact, they are still in my life.

I once told myself that I would never be a trapped beast again, but now, I am a trapped beast still fighting.

I once told myself that I would not give this man a check and balance in his harem, but now, I am doing what he wants me to do step by step.

It turns out that the only things that haven’t changed are me and him...

I was thinking in a daze, thinking about my own years, and the figure flashed before my eyes. He had walked in front of me and was looking down at me.

His eyes are still as deep and dark as before. When they are close at hand, it seems that a puddle of deep water will suck people in. But when I look at his eyes, there are many familiar emotions in them, but there is also a familiar look at them.

Expression.

It's like a person looking at a pot of cactus.

I'm familiar with that kind of look. During the more than two years when he was locked up in the cold palace, every time he looked at me, he looked at me with such scrutiny and caution, and it's the same now.

I gave him a gentle kiss and was about to walk away from him, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand.

His fingers were pinched by him, revealing some pale fingertips, like a cluster of white flowers blooming in his hands. He was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Why is it so cold?"

"...it's okay."

"Go back."

"...Yes."

Although he asked me to go back, when I was about to leave, I found that he still held my hand and did not let go. I looked down and then raised my head to look at him, and his scrutinizing eyes were still on me.

After a while, his face slowly relaxed.

At this time, Eunuch Yu came out from nowhere and said loudly: "The Emperor has arrived!"

As soon as he said this, the maids and eunuchs of Yuhua Palace rushed out and hurriedly knelt down. A little maid hurriedly went in to report. I left without saying anything. I just looked back when I walked out of the gate.

The palace maid opened the door with a look of joy and welcomed Pei Yuanhao in.

I smiled lightly in my heart, turned around and walked out.

When I returned to Jingren Palace, as soon as I entered the door, I heard the voices of Shuixiu and Xing'er. The two people seemed to be chasing something. I walked in and saw Xiao Nianshen holding a hand high in his hand.

A large piece of rice paper, even bigger than others when unfolded, was walking in the yard. Shuixiu and Xing'er were chasing after me. When they saw me, they immediately felt like they had been saved: "Miss Qing is back!"

After hearing this, he hurriedly turned his head to look at me. A sweet smile immediately appeared on his face, and he ran towards me: "Aunt Qing!"

I knelt down and he immediately threw himself into my arms. I looked at his little face turning red and said with a smile, "What are you doing, Your Highness?"

"Aunt Qing, look, I just wrote it!"

After saying that, he presented the paper to me as if he were offering a treasure. When I opened it, I saw that he had finished writing the urgent chapter. Although the handwriting was very immature and the typos in several places were obvious, for a four or five-year-old child,

It’s really not easy.

I smiled and said: "Your Highness is really capable."

Hearing my compliment, he smiled even sweeter and said, "I'll show it to my queen mother!"

When I heard this, I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Your Highness is acting up again. Didn't the Queen say not to disturb her these days?"

"But Nian Shen wants his mother to see this."

I smiled and said: "Isn't this easy?"

After saying that, he folded the emergency sheet, turned around and handed it to Kuan'er, saying: "I'll trouble my sister to send it to the Queen to have a look at it tonight, and let her know by the way - Your Highness, everything is fine."

Kou'er glanced at me and didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Okay."

In the following days, after Concubine Li's miscarriage, Ding Jieyu's death, and the concubine's birth, the harem became calm. In addition to staying in Chonghua Palace, the emperor often visited Concubine Li in Yuhua Palace, but he did not

It did not arouse the jealousy of other concubines in the harem, only a few sarcastic remarks, "A hen that cannot lay eggs can only crow like this no matter how happy it is."

However, some people saw that the queen stayed behind closed doors for a long time, and that I had become the chief steward of Jingren Palace. They had some speculations, and even some sensitive concubines simply came to get close to me. I have always been able to avoid these things.

Then avoid them, but don’t offend them.

But I know that some things are unavoidable after all.

Not long after, the second prince Nianyun was one month old.

Shen Rou cherished this child like a jewel. During the month, she almost stayed behind closed doors in Chonghua Palace, and other concubines were almost not allowed to come. It was only at this time that she finally saw the light of day.

Congratulatory gifts from various palaces poured in like a tide.

Chang Qing asked Kuan'er to send a message and asked me to think about it myself, so I asked someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to him. Kuan'er came back and said that the imperial concubine specifically asked who prepared the gift, and also asked, should I be closer?

What did Tian do in Jingren Palace?

Kou'er said softly: "I just want to say that the empresses in each palace care about the eldest prince and often call you for questioning. They are all very busy."

I smiled: "Yes."

Although the smile was a smile, my heart was not so relaxed. Not long after, Shen Rou finished her confinement, but Chang Qing was still in confinement. This was the time to really see the real chapter.

Sure enough, one day not long after, it was only early in the morning, and I had just finished explaining the three rituals to Nian Shen, when I saw Xing'er and Shuixiu walking over in a hurry, saying with a heavy face: "The Imperial Concubine is here.

”

I raised my eyebrows but didn't say anything. I told Nian Shen to continue reading, and asked Shuixiu and Xing'er to guard the study. I walked out. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Shen Rou sitting on the side seat, picking up the button and bringing it to her.

of tea and blew it gently.

I stepped forward and bowed politely: "The daughter of the common people pays her respects to the imperial concubine."

When I knelt down, Shen Rou smiled lazily and said to Mingzhu behind her: "Pull up quickly, I can't bear this kneeling."

Mingzhu came over and pulled me up, and I still said respectfully: "Thank you very much for your grace, the imperial concubine. I wonder what your imperial concubine has to do when she suddenly comes to Jingren Palace."

"What orders can I give you? I just walked a few steps in vain and came to see you."

"If the queen wants to see the daughter of the people, she just needs to give her instructions. I don't dare to trouble the queen."

"But I heard that you have been very busy recently, and the ladies in each palace have to socialize. I came late, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you."

I laughed and said, "I'm just kidding."

Having said this, I raised my head and glanced at her. Shen Rou had gained some weight after giving birth, but she was not bloated. Her plump figure and slightly rounded chin actually gave her a somewhat mature charm. Only the charming eyes were

The style remains unchanged.

She glanced at me and said, "Where is the eldest prince? I haven't seen this child for a long time, and I miss him very much."

I said: "The eldest prince is currently studying in the study, so it is inconvenient to come out."

"Study?" Shen Rou raised her eyebrows: "How come the class has already started before the master comes?"

"It's just a folk girl who knows a few words and is a mixed religion."

"In that case, let me test him."

"Back to your Majesty, the eldest prince hasn't finished reading today, so it's really hard to come here."

Shen Rou's face slowly darkened, and there was a needle-like thorn in her soft eyes. She looked at me for a while, then suddenly waved her hand: "You all get off."

Mingzhu withdrew without saying anything, but Kuan'er glanced at me. I nodded to her gently, and she also withdrew.

After they all walked out and the door was closed, Shen Rou slowly stood up, walked in front of me, and looked straight into my eyes. The needlepoints in her eyes almost pierced me: "Yue Qingying, you

Have you forgotten that you still have something in my hands?"

"..." I was silent for a moment and then said: "A civilian girl dare not forget."

"Then do you know what I want you to do?"

"..." I was silent for a long time, then smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has given birth to the second prince. In this harem, you can be said to have thousands of honours. Do you still need Qingying to do anything for you?

?"

Speaking of this, Shen Rou also smiled: "Yes, actually, I don't even bother to say anything to ordinary people like you."

"..."

"It's just that you are really too smart and capable."

"..."

"Everything you did for me was neat and tidy. I can't help but think of you."

"..." My face slowly darkened.

She is threatening me, because of the things I helped her with before, she and I are now a grasshopper on the same rope, and she is bound to win this matter of Nian Shen, otherwise, she would not dare to be upright.

I came to Jingren Palace and said these words to me in this place.

I stood in front of her silently, looking into her eyes without saying a word.

She gently raised her chin and looked at me with her charming eyes: "Do you know what you should do now?"

I bit my lower lip: "Empress, daughter of the people——"

Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

Fortunately for me, Shen Rou was startled. She opened her eyes wide and saw that Mingzhu had barged in from the outside. Shen Rou's face immediately became ugly and she cursed: "Presumptuous! What are you doing?"

!"

"Empress!" Mingzhu didn't kneel down to admit her mistake at this time. Instead, she walked over directly: "Empress, something happened."

"What happened?"

Mingzhu glanced at me, walked up to Shen Rou and whispered a few words in my ear. Shen Rou was originally full of anger, but when she heard her words, she suddenly showed a panicked expression: "What?!"

"Really, Ruizhu came over and said it."

Shen Rou's face turned pale and she immediately said: "Go back quickly!"

After saying that, she ignored me and let Mingzhu support her, and the two of them left in a hurry.

I stood there, not too shocked. I just thought about it, then went out and followed them.

Just now, although Mingzhu tried her best to lower her voice, the room was too quiet, and my ears are better than others, so I could hear clearly——
Chapter completed!
