Early morning. Ten Thousand Moon Tower.
Xu Wanhai stepped forward and bowed respectfully." Young Master, Cao Jie Yu went last night."”
I played with the lilies in the glass bottle and lightly said,"Oh?”
Baojuan was surprised. Was she willing to let her Wen Yi call Consort Jing as Mother Consort?”
" I don't know," Xu Wanhai said." We're in Taiping Palace now, so no one knows what happened in the Forbidden City."”
Today was the second day after he arrived at Taiping Palace, and news of Cao Jie Yu's death came. Her death was too sudden and too natural.
I looked at Xu Wanhai and asked coldly,"Eunuch Xu, who do you think did it?"”
Xu Wanhai thought for a moment and said uncertainly," Consort Hua, Empress, Wan Guipin, Hui Ronghua, and Consort Jing!”
Bao Juan was surprised."Consort Hua is afraid that Cao Jie Yu will bite back, and the Empress is worried that Cao Jie Yu will be favored again?" This doesn't seem right. This servant thought that the Empress wouldn't care to do anything about this matter. Wan Guipin might take revenge for Chun Pin's death, but Hui Ronghua has always been indifferent! Consort Jing, Consort Jing has Empress Wen Yi but Consort Jing has always been kind.。”
Xu Wanhai pondered and said," It seems possible for Consort Hua, the Empress, Hui Ronghua, Wan Guipin, and Consort Jing. This servant really doesn't dare to imagine.”
I picked up the silver scissors on the table and a fresh lily fell. I played with it repeatedly in my hand without saying a word.
Baojuan and Xu Wanhai looked at each other helplessly! As slaves, they would never understand their master's thoughts.
A few days later, in Nanxun Hall. Mei Zhuang had planned to seduce Xuan Ling, and after a year of silence, she was once again favored. The harem looked at him.
Yurun Hall.
I looked at her beautiful eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh. A woman who was once as elegant as a chrysanthemum actually had such a charming moment.
Mei Zhuang was sitting in front of the desk practicing her calligraphy. She raised her head and smiled at me slowly. She gently said,"Ling Rong, you're here?"”
I helped Baojuan to sit down calmly and looked at her lightly."Sister Mei is becoming more and more charming."”
Mei Zhuang's hand that was holding the brush was so tight that it turned white. Maybe I've thought it through!" I laughed coldly in my heart. What I wanted was for you to come to your senses. Otherwise, wouldn't all my efforts on you be in vain?
I said lightly,"As long as you think it's worth it."”
Mei Zhuang said disdainfully,"Worth it?" It was not worth it! It's just that I have hatred in my heart!"
I pretended not to be surprised and said,"Sister Mei, why do you say that?"”
Mei Zhuang's eyes were red as she looked at me and said,"Ling Rong, your words have come true." Imperial Physician Wen is indeed…"
I raised my eyebrows and said lightly,"Could it be a misunderstanding?"”
"Misunderstanding?" How could there be a misunderstanding? That day after I left Lan Yi Pavilion, I recruited the most upright Imperial Physician Zhang from the Imperial Academy of Medicine the next day! And the result? It really makes my heart turn cold!" Actually, you have always been jealous of Zhen Huan, but you haven't learned how to vent your anger because of your good upbringing, and I just gave you a reason.
I said in disbelief,"Then did Sister Mei ask Sister Zhen or Doctor Wen?"”
Mei Zhuang said hatefully," I won't believe such a disgusting person no matter what he says. Hypocrite!”Who in the harem wasn't hypocritical?
I asked without changing my expression,"Sister Mei, are you sure?"”Are you sure you want to embark on this path?
Mei Zhuang tightly held my hand and smiled,"Ling Rong, in this harem, only you are sincere to me!" Why would I lie to you?"
I said lightly,"What kind of person makes what kind of friends."”Wrong, it should be used to the best of its ability.
Mei Zhuang smiled knowingly and mocked,"I heard that Cao Jie Yu committed suicide?"”
"I just heard about it this morning."”
Mei Zhuang smiled coldly." I think this matter was most likely done by my good sister, Wan Guipin!”
I said calmly,"Why do you say that, Sister Mei?"”
Mei Zhuang's pretty face blushed as she said awkwardly,"I guessed it!" Besides, the death of Chun Pin was definitely related to Concubine Hua and the others. Zhen Huan was just the first to strike!”
I said in surprise,"This is a secret of the palace." You and I don't need to say much, the emperor can decide for himself! Oh right, I haven't congratulated my sister for being favored again!”After saying that, he stood up and bowed respectfully.
Mei Zhuang didn't care and helped me up with a faint smile. Forget it, it didn't matter. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end! As for being favored-"Mei Zhuang looked up at the bright sun outside the window and said coldly," Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu bullied me like this! If I don't wash this hatred with blood in this life, my Shen Mei Zhuang would rather fall into hell and never reincarnate in a hundred years!”
I raised my eyebrows in surprise." Sister Mei is muddle-headed. How can such a serious oath be casually said?”
Mei Zhuang looked at me coldly and said,"Serious?" Humph! I will return the pain that Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu inflicted on me a hundred times over one day!”
I lowered my head and sighed.”
Mei Zhuang's beautiful eyes flashed with hesitation, but it was quickly drowned out. She said coldly," When has Zhen Huan ever had the heart to treat me? I'm just taking revenge!”Sighing, she took my hand and gently said,"Ling Rong, don't think that I'm heartless. They've really bullied me!" If I don't take revenge, I won't be able to vent my hatred!"
I looked at Mei Zhuang firmly and said coldly,"Sister Mei, don't worry, Ling Rong will definitely help you!"”
Mei Zhuang smiled as if she had already seen Zhen Huan's miserable end. Her face was full of hatred and pride.
Ten Thousand Moon Tower. Dusk.
The pure white roses in the courtyard bloomed in clusters. The fragrance was chaotic, and the flowers flew without wind. Occasionally, there were a few dancing butterflies playing among the flowers. The twilight was like blood, and the beautiful setting sun gradually disappeared behind the beautiful buildings.
I plucked a pure white rose and lowered my head to sniff it. A faint fragrance lingered at the tip of my nose.
Xuan Ling, do you still remember what I said? White roses represent pure love. Unfortunately, how many times have you worn that nightgown? I can count them on one hand!
People change. Zhen Huan has changed. She has become worried about gaining and losing just to get your love. Mei Zhuang has changed. She is jealous of Zhen Huan and hates Wen Shichu. Once a woman who was as clear as ripples put on a beautiful skin in this palace, but she is still beyond recognition.
I've also changed. Since I'm going to fight to the death no matter what, I still hope for your heart.
You still remember the white roses I mentioned, so what am I to you?
"You seem to be getting lonelier and lonelier." This tall and slender young master walked towards me elegantly at this moment of the setting sun. His eyes were gentle and he had a smile on his face. This was Xuan Ling.
"Maybe it's because you're not by my side.”I played with the flowers in my hand and said indifferently.
A shadow loomed over my head. His magnetic voice was low as he smiled.”
I looked at the rose in my hand and then at Xuan Ling. My tone was uncertain." Are you talking about the flowers or you?”
His bright eyes froze, and his handsome face carried a deep smile as he teased,"What if it's me?"”
I looked at the flower in my hand seriously and then looked at Xuan Ling hesitantly. As Xuan Ling's face darkened, I inserted the rose in my hand into his hair and said with an extremely serious expression," I'll like you more this way!”
Xuan Ling was stunned. When he saw the mischievousness in my eyes, he realized that he had been teased by me. He pretended to be unhappy and said," Alright! How dare you tease me! Watch how I punish you!"
I pushed him lightly and said disdainfully,"You want to punish me?" Catch up to me first!" The bell-like laughter filled the entire Wanyue Tower, and her pale green silk dress shuttled between the white flowers. Xuan Ling laughed loudly as she chased after me. At this moment, I finally felt the warmth between ordinary people. It was like a farmer standing under the sun after the autumn harvest, holding a hoe and smiling, warm and happy.
Li Chang looked at the two people playing in the flowers in shock. The corners of his mouth kept twitching. Was this our emperor? Was this still a concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty? So--
Under the setting sun, a pair of beautiful flowers were playing freely, as if they were a match made in heaven. It was the romance of spring.
Baojuan and Xu Wanhai had already consciously acted as walls and remained silent.
However, other than the two people who were playing, Li Chang and the other two could not help but sigh at this white rose, this pure love.
It was night. Red candles hung high.
I was wearing a transparent muslin dress as I leaned against Xuan Ling's chest and lazily said,"Your Majesty-"
Xuan Ling closed her eyes and lay lazily on the bed.”
I was dissatisfied with his indifference and increased the decibel.!!”
Xuan Ling's brows suddenly raised as she casually placed her large hand on my lips and lazily said," I've already enjoyed hearing the beauty's voice. Now, it's time for the beauty to rest!"”
My face is red because I'm angry! I retaliated by pinching his waist and proudly said,"Your Majesty?"”
Xuan Ling's face darkened, and she opened her sharp eyes unhappily. Did I not satisfy you just now?”
I was full of black lines and said angrily,"The emperor is not romantic at all!"”
Xuan Ling tightened her arms around me and said unhappily,"What does my Ling Rong want?"”
I twisted my petite body and blinked my innocent big eyes." Your Majesty, I want to talk to you!”
Xuan Ling smiled helplessly and teased,"My Ling Rong really loves to torment me!" If it was any other concubine, Zhen would definitely get someone to throw her out!”After saying that, she tapped the tip of my nose with a doting gaze.
Seeing that he wasn't angry, she couldn't help but look proud as a villain who had achieved success. If the emperor wanted to throw me out, I would hug the emperor tightly and not let go!”
Xuan Ling's eyes sank and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she pretended to be serious.”
I sullenly shook his arm and said coquettishly,"But the emperor also said that he would protect the concubines!" The emperor's words are of great weight, you can't deceive the concubines!”
Xuan Ling stretched out her thick hand and gently stroked my cheek." Of course, I will protect you forever!"”
I didn't know how much of his words were sincere, but at this moment, my heart was very happy. I don't want to ask Xuan Ling, do you like me? Because I was afraid that he wouldn't answer, I was afraid that he would be angry at me, and I was even more afraid that he would personally tell me that he only loved Zhu Rou in his entire life.
I smiled faintly, like a peach and plum blossom. I didn't say anything else and quietly hugged him to sleep.
Xuan Ling looked at the sleeping beauty in his arms, but his heart was in a trance. Zhen's face has always been beautiful. She clearly has a pure and natural temperament, but she is cold by nature. She had an exquisite appearance and a delicate figure. However, there was still a hint of determination between his brows. She was such a contradictory woman. That's why I've never forgotten the first time I saw her during the selection.
It was a sunny day, and everyone was smiling. However, I feel very annoyed. I own the four seas and ten thousand miles of land. What kind of beauty have I not seen? What kind of beauty could compare to the gentle rule in his heart?
Although I am the emperor, I have no choice but to choose women I don't love from the civil and military officials to be concubines. I have to suppress the power of the previous dynasty and the power of the harem. Although I am the emperor, I have no choice but to rely on these women to settle some things.
The daughter of a small county magistrate had come to the foot of the emperor just to become a concubine. I find it very interesting. Is it for glory and wealth? She was just another hypocritical woman.
But when I heard her cold voice, I couldn't help but look up at her. What a cold beauty, like the ice in winter, crystal clear but bone-chilling cold. I am very puzzled. Is she really here for glory, wealth, or the future of the family? However, I didn't think much of it because there was only coldness and sadness in her eyes.
Zhen only took two looks at her and the Empress already knew Zhen's intentions. It doesn't matter. Looking at her dress, she doesn't look like a rich person. Moreover, zhen is very curious about this woman. zhen is the emperor and there has never been a woman that zhen cannot subdue. zhen wants to see if she is playing hard to get.
Time always passes very quickly. Zhen is busy every day, so of course, I won't pay attention to a woman with a low status. Instead, I will firmly remember the person who looks like a Pure Yuan.
On New Year's Eve, the red plums at the banquet evoked Zhen's longing for Rou Ze. Zhen could not help but go to the plum garden alone to relax. Because red plums are my soft love.
"Scattered into mud and ground into dust, only the fragrance remains.”Her voice was cold, but it made people feel that she was a pure woman.
I couldn't help but want to find the beautiful woman's traces, but unfortunately, the beautiful woman only left a sentence,"We're both people who have fallen from grace. Why should we know each other when we meet?"”I left, but my heart was inexplicably disappointed. That cold voice seemed to have been heard somewhere before.
"If you don't love the palace wall willow, you'll only be mistaken by your former fate. Flowers bloom and wither naturally, always rely on the East King.”These few lines of words on the scarlet silk seemed to be soft words in his ears, sincere and sincere. This is the silk left behind by a beautiful woman to pray for blessings. I have been carrying it with me every day. Perhaps one day, I will meet this icy woman again.
Madam Yu is just an imposter. As the ruler, how can I not see through this clumsy trick? But zhen doesn't care. zhen is the emperor, zhen doesn't need to waste time on a little palace maid. Moreover, her Kunqu opera singing was not bad. He could use her to miss the Pure Yuan Dynasty.
To me, the women in the harem are just chess pieces. They are my bargaining chips in the imperial court and also fun to play with when I'm bored. This is because I only love Pure Yuan in my life.
Zhen Huan is a noble lady. She adored me, and she always sweetly called me Silang. Every time this happened, I felt like I could see my softness by my side.
Although it looked like a pure True Immortal, it did not have the bearing of a pure True Immortal. Not a single cent. However, I am still willing to pamper her. In the past, I have given her gold, silver, jade, and other treasures. Now, I have given them all to her. She is very happy. She is no different from a young girl who has just fallen in love. She is young, beautiful, and vain.
"I only treat her as a substitute for a pure Yuan cultivator. This is her honor, but this favor belongs to a pure Yuan cultivator in the end. Therefore, I dote on her and disdain her. However, her poems and books are very good. They can satisfy my longing for the Pure Yuan Dynasty.
Because I love Zhen Huan, I have neglected Concubine Hua and my new favorite, Guiren Hui. Even on the fifteenth day of every month in the Empress 'Palace, Zhen Huan's Tangli Palace is where Zhen Huan stays.
I want to tell everyone that I can dote on whoever I want and that no one has the right to complain. As for the Empress, her hands had not been clean all these years. However, seeing that she was the biological sister of the Pure Yuan Dynasty and the niece of the Empress Dowager, she turned a blind eye.
The sisters of Noble Hui and Noble Wan? Even the sisterhood between noble Hui and noble Wan is contemptuous, let alone a strange concubine. Of course, I'll accompany the beauty in acting. Who asked me to be lonely for too long?
She was drunk in my arms. She didn't have the heartbreak of playing the zither and singing under the wisteria tree. She didn't have the innocence and cuteness of dancing and chasing butterflies. Although her quiet, weak, and exquisite face was red, it gave people the feeling that she was about to leave this world.
Many years later, zhen found out that when she was drunk in zhen's arms, zhen's heart had already fallen on her. (Xuan Ling's thoughts)
The only thing Xuan Ling left for me was a cold bed.
It was said that in the past few days, Xuan Ling had started to dote on the concubines from prestigious families such as Consort Duan, Consort Jing, and Mei Zhuang.
Mei Zhuang was therefore granted the title of Jieyu. However, Xuan Ling then favored a palace maid in Consort Hua's palace with the surname Qiao and was promoted to Qiao Cai's daughter.
I didn't have any thoughts because I knew that this was going to be a storm in the previous dynasty and the harem. I just had to follow the Empress obediently. Who asked Hui Xue to be in her hands? Haha.
That night. A banquet was held on the balcony of Nanxun Hall to entertain the imperial concubine.
The crescent moon was like a hook, thousands of houses were lit up, towers and waterside pavilions, beauties were like jade, and the music of the strings and strings lingered in the summer river.
It was a beautiful scene of orioles, swallows and swallows in spring, colorful willows and willows, and everything was beautiful and charming. She was delicate and tender.
The Empress and Xuan Ling sat side by side. It seemed like it was really just an ordinary family banquet. The two of them got along well and were quite harmonious. The entire room was filled with concubines, who were wearing new makeup and jade hair. Soft words of congratulations could be heard endlessly. Concubine Hua was dressed up to attend, smiling sweetly as she socialized with Empress Xuan Ling and the others. The scenery in the room seemed to be for her alone.
It was indeed for her alone. This might be the last glorious moment of her life.
"Today, all the sisters in the palace are here. ChenQie is willing to offer a toast to the emperor and empress, wishing the emperor and empress a healthy and blessed life.”Zhen Huan stood up and congratulated him. A pair of beautiful eyes covered in a veil.
The Empress and Xuan Ling drank happily.
At this moment, Qiao Cainu stood up and walked to Xuan Ling with a charming smile. The strong wine is harmful to the body. ChenQie carefully chose a plate of good fruits, all exquisite and delicious, to invite the emperor to taste a taste.”
Xuan Ling held a milky white grape in her mouth and said lightly,"Not bad."”
Zhen Huan stood proudly at the side and sneered," Sister Qiao, you're trying so hard to guess the Emperor's preferences. It seems that Concubine Hua has taught you well, huh?”This " ah " was extremely charming and contemptuous.
Consort Hua's face hardened. Qiao Cainu immediately understood. Qiao Cainu smiled charmingly and said," Concubine Hua naturally knows what the Emperor likes, but how can you and I, concubines who have only entered the palace for a year or two, compare? Isn't that right, Emperor?" She even blatantly winked at Xuan Ling.
Consort Hua sat on the first seat on the right of the Empress, and so on, Consort Duan, Consort Jing.。I sat at the back of the table next to Mei Zhuang. I raised my glass and drank with my sleeve. But in her heart, she was sneering that very soon, she wouldn't be winking at him and would be tongue-tied instead.
Xuan Ling seemed to be enjoying it as she smiled lightly and said,"Consort Hua has always understood my intentions."”
Zhen Huan's face was pale as if she was unwilling to give up." It's a pity that the triennial talent show is coming soon. Concubine Hua has the emperor's heart, and Sister Qiao, you should work hard!"”Looking at Qiao Cainu's increasingly angry face, she said proudly,"Su Wen, Younger Sister Qiao is working hard in Concubine Hua's palace, and Concubine Hua should reward you well, ah?"”
Qiao Cainu had always minded how others viewed her background. Zhen Huan had mentioned it in front of the concubines without any scruples, which made her feel embarrassed. She could not help but cry sadly, looking very pitiful.
Consort Duan watched silently from the beginning to the end, as if everything had nothing to do with her. Consort Jing hugged Wen Yi in her arms and smiled amiably. Consort Hua had been teasing Xuan Ling until she heard Qiao Cainu crying. Her crimson dress made her look even more seductive. She looked at the crowd from time to time with a half-smile, as if she didn't care about what had happened at all. It was as if the person who told me that she wanted to take revenge on Zhen Huan and Consort Hua was someone else.
Xuan Ling sized up Qiao Cainu and Zhen Huan with an unfathomable expression, while Zhen Huan looked at Qiao Cainu condescendingly.
Concubine Hua did not care about the awkward atmosphere in front of her and lightly sneered,"Is the emperor going to sit idly by?"”
Xuan Ling looked directly at the Empress and said lightly,"What does the Empress think?"”
The Empress smiled faintly." Today is a family banquet. I just drank two more cups and said some drunken words."”If I didn't know the Empress well, as a victim, I would be very touched. Unfortunately, she said this just to sing a double act with Xuan Ling and use Xuan Ling to suppress Zhen Huan.
Xuan Ling seemed to be drunk and flew into a rage,"Is this how the Empress handles the affairs of the harem?" No wonder there are always so many right and wrong. Have you fulfilled your responsibility as the Empress?”
The Empress was shocked and terrified."It's ChenQie's fault. Emperor, please calm down. Don't be angry and damage your body!"”
The Empress kneeled down, the Emperor was angry, so we naturally kneeled down.
Xuan Ling said angrily,"Zhen has always doted on you, but now you're getting bolder!" Men! Guan Guipin Zhen has lost her manners in front of the emperor. She has spoken without form and has lost the virtue of a concubine. Tomorrow, she will be sent to Wuliang Hall to reflect on her mistakes. Unless the imperial edict is issued, she cannot go out!”
As soon as he said that, all the concubines were surprised and their expressions changed. Consort Duan seemed to have given up. Consort Jing had nothing to do with her. Others, such as Consort Hua who was pleased with her success, or Xin Guipin who was gloating, had all sorts of expressions.
Zhen Huan seemed to have not expected Xuan Ling to say this to her,"Your Majesty, I was just joking with Sister Qiao. Please forgive me!"”
Xuan Ling waved her hand impatiently and shouted,"Drag him out!"”
Zhen Huan cried as she was dragged out, but the Empress was not happy. There was even a trace of unwillingness and hatred in the corner of her eyes.
In this life, I can understand why Consort Jing doesn't speak, but Consort Duan, hmph, even if she doesn't speak, I will use the Empress's hand to get rid of her. As for why doesn't Mei Zhuang speak?
One day, Wen Shichu was walking on the cobblestone road beside the Tangli Palace after applying the pulse for Zhen Huan. He smelled a faint fragrance. It was the honey fragrance of his sister Huan 'er. He was very familiar with it. He carried it in his arms and wore it every day.
He hadn't checked Mei Zhuang's pulse for a long time, so today he invited himself to check Mei Zhuang's pulse. However, he accidentally bumped into Cai Xing, who was holding her clothes. He didn't care, but he didn't know that a long strand of woman's hair was stuck between his sleeves.
Mei Zhuang was naturally familiar with Zhen Huan's honey fragrance, but only those close to her would be stained with this fragrance. If she still did not give up, when Wen Shichu reached out to take Mei Zhuang's pulse, that long hair could make Mei Zhuang, who was crazy with jealousy, lose her mind.
These were all small schemes, but unfortunately, the thirty-six schemes were best used to attack the heart. Everyone had weaknesses.
The summer night seems to be colder than winter, but I can't feel the joy of the festive music. Although Consort Hua is cruel, this is what you, Xuan Ling, have spoiled! Her elder brother had overshadowed his master and wanted the entire Murong Clan, including Concubine Hua, to die! Consort Hua has accompanied you for so long, the human heart is made of flesh, what crime has Consort Hua committed? You even put on an act to protect Zhen Huan. Hehe, what a joke. Xuan Ling kept saying that you wanted to protect me, but now you're protecting Zhen Huan, the person I hate the most!
The banquet continued. Everyone was laughing and drinking, and the arrows from before were no longer there. However, for the first time, it made me feel nauseous.
How much is friendship worth?
