Pei Yuanhao stayed in the Chonghua Hall until dawn, while Mingzhu and Bixiu went to spend the night. Not long after he left at dawn, when I went to serve again, Lanxiangju had been cleaned overnight, and Xu Cairen had moved.

Come here.

On weekdays, Chonghua Hall is full of people coming and going, but at this time it is even more lively.

I just walked into the garden to say hello to Shen Rou. She had already finished dressing up and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror using her little finger to outline her red cherry lips. She looked back at me and asked, "Where have you been?"

"My servant just came from Yeting."

"I haven't seen you since early in the morning. I thought the emperor had sent you back to the cold palace again."

My face turned pale and I hurriedly said: "Thanks to your grace, I can stay in Chonghua Palace."

“Just know it’s grace.”

She stood up slowly, walked up to me, looked at me condescendingly, and said: "From now on, when the emperor comes again, it will be you who stays at night. Don't let me find your people again!"

Let me spend the night...?

In a daze, as if I had returned to those days in Shangyang Palace, I raised my head and glanced at her, without saying anything, I just lowered my head and said, "Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a flurry of footsteps outside, and soon he heard the young eunuchs coming to report that the Queen and several other concubines had come to visit Xu Cairen. Shen Rou stood up slowly and looked.

Looking outside, he smiled and said: "It's really a bouquet of flowers."

Mingzhu stood beside her and said resentfully towards Lan Xiangju: "If you have a dragon species, you will be crazy to the sky, and you won't have any respect for the empress."

Shen Rou smiled faintly.

"It remains to be seen whether we can raise this child well. When will we kick her out again?"

"What nonsense!" Shen Rou frowned slightly and said, "That is the emperor's dragon seed. Besides, she is here now. If something happens to her, will I be able to get away with it?"

"Yes."

Mingzhu took a step back, not daring to say anything, but Shen Rou smiled and said: "Since the queen is here, let's go over and join in the fun."

After saying that, she walked towards the door. When I heard this, I quickly got up and followed her.

When they arrived outside Lanxiang Ju, they heard the chirping of orioles inside. Shen Rou slowly walked in and said with a smile: "Oh, it's so lively."

Mingzhu and I followed her, and at a glance we felt that the house was filled with red flowers and willows, and the indescribable beauty and fragrance of the country.

In the past few days since I came to Chonghua Hall, I have gotten to know a few concubines, and they are almost all here. Sitting on the right, the one with a melon-shaped face, slightly raised eyes, and sharp cheekbones is Shuyi Lu Xinrong. She is

The sister of Lu Xinnan, the Minister of Justice; the one next to her who is still young and has a round face with a hint of childishness is Pang Yan, the daughter of Yushi Pang Zheng; she is attacking a woman with a cold face, I

I only met him once, but I never forgot that she was Zhaoyi Liu Li, and her father was Liu Shizhou who was killed by people from Huisheng Pharmacy in Jiangnan.

On the other side opposite them, there was Wanyi Zhu Fanghua, Ronghua Wensisi, whose father and brother were also serving in the court. The other beauties, Liangdi was not able to watch, were all standing at the back.<

/p>

Right in front of this area surrounded by pearls and emeralds, sat a woman in brocade clothes and picturesque features. Shen Rou walked over and bowed down to her: "I pay my respects to the Queen."

"Get up."

Just three simple words, spoken from the mouth of this beauty, sounded euphemistically, like an oriole out of the valley in spring. She gently raised her hand towards Shen Rou, and the snow-white catkin was being explored.

The rays of sunlight coming in from the window are as white as mutton-fat jade and dazzling.

This is not the first time I have seen these hands. The last time was on the stage of Grand Master.

She and Huang Tianba sang a cappella gracefully on the stage, which was touching.

But now, although there are no sleeves flying and no rouge covering up, I can catch a glimpse of the charming Liu Miaogu who was on the stage. But now, she is sitting majestically in the center of the group of concubines, her amorous appearance has faded.

And there is an extra three points of dignity.

She is the current queen of the world—Chang Qing.

When Shen Rou stood up, the concubines sitting next to her had already stood up to salute her. However, the queen said to one of the slender and supple-looking women: "You are pregnant, so don't get up and kneel down."

Kneel down to avoid injuring the fetal air."

It turns out that she is the talented Xu Youling.

I couldn't help but take another look at her. Among these concubines, she was really the most inconspicuous. She was soft and frail. Even though she was wearing a gorgeous dress with gold and silver, it didn't match her delicate appearance. She was low-profile.

She looked at Shenrou cautiously, with a smooth look on her face, like a frightened rabbit.

Shen Rou smiled and said: "What the queen said is that there is no need to salute in the future."

Xu Cairen still stood up and saluted them: "Thank you, Queen, thank you, Empress."

When everyone sat down, Shen Rou slowly walked over and sat down under the queen. At this time, the queen said to Shen Rou: "I heard that the emperor asked Xu Cairen to move to my sister's place. I also

Don’t worry. Things in the Sixth House are busy, and there are areas that I cannot take care of. My sister is careful and steady, so Xu Cairen will let her worry about it.”

"What did the queen say? Xu Cairen is pregnant with a dragon seed. It is also a blessing for the sisters of the Sixth Palace. My sister should take good care of her."

The queen nodded and said to Xu Cairen: "When you arrive at the imperial concubine's place, the imperial concubine will take care of everything. If you have any shortage, just ask, don't wrong yourself."

"I know."

At this time, Shuyi and Lu Xinrong took a sip of tea and immediately frowned and said, "Well, what's going on with this tea? Is it cold?"

"Oh?"

When the queen heard this, she also picked up the cup and took a sip. It was indeed cold. She frowned, and Lu Xinrong immediately said: "Xu Cairen, you are pregnant with a dragon seed. Everyone in the palace is taking good care of you.

The queen came to ask questions in person, why are you serving cold tea to guests?"

Xu Cairen stood up in a hurry, muttering that he didn't know what to say.

Zhu Wanyi also smiled and said: "Xu Cairen, you are at the imperial concubine's house now. Are you reluctant to take out a sip of tea to entertain guests?"

After saying this, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Rou. She sat calmly in the chair, only smiled and said nothing. However, the palace maid Yu Wen behind Xu Cairen stepped forward and said to the queen: "My queen, please calm down."

, I made a mistake just now. I used the tea brought from Fangcaotang to entertain guests. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Chang Qing glanced at them, then looked down at the tea cup, and said: "Your master is pregnant now, why is he still so careless?"

"This slave knows his crime."

Chang Qing turned to look at Shen Rou and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor told me when he got up early that the people you have here are still needed, so why not allocate one to Xu Cairen?"

As soon as she said these words, the expressions of the concubines around her changed.

Shen Rou was leaning back in her chair. When she heard this, she stood up with a smile and said, "What the queen said is that the emperor also said this to his concubine last night. He originally allocated a person to Xu Cai."

People should also be there. However, I was short of manpower a while ago, so I asked the queen for a vacancy. If I really gave it to Xu Cairen, I am afraid that I will be in a hurry."

"Then what do you mean-"

"Why don't I, my concubine, ask someone to take care of Xu Cairen's meals, but this person will not return to Lanxiangju? How about this?"

Upon hearing what she said, the expressions of several concubines around him changed.

Everyone in the palace knew that the concubine was pregnant, and the most important thing was food. She actually recommended herself and asked her people to take care of Xu Cairen's food, which was almost like taking advantage of the situation.

When I looked at her, I felt even more uneasy, and then I heard her say: "Yue Qingying."

"..." My heart jumped fiercely, and I didn't have time to think about anything. I slowly walked forward: "Your Majesty..."

"From today on, you will take care of Xu Cairen's meals."

I stood in the middle of the room, and my heart was confused for a moment. If this happened, wouldn't everything be piled on me? I couldn't help but glance at her - Could it be that she had discovered something and wanted to use it?

Is this a way to avoid disaster for yourself?

However, in front of everyone, I couldn't refuse clearly, so I could only kneel down and say: "Yes."

The concubines around looked at me and I looked at you, conveying something silently, but no one spoke. Chang Qing glanced at Shen Rou, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Okay, just follow the concubine's advice.

I mean."

After saying that, she put down the tea cup in her hand, stood up and said: "After sitting for so long, Xu Cairen should have a good rest, so I will go back first."

Several other concubines also stood up and said goodbye. Just when they were about to go out, the queen walked past me, suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at me, and said, "Your name is Yue Qingying?"

I lowered my head: "Return to the Queen, my servant Yue Qingying."

"I, have I seen you somewhere?"

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her autumn-like eyes were filled with confusion. She looked at me in a daze. I raised my head to glance at her, then lowered my head and said, "Before the emperor ascended the throne, I was a maid in Shangyang Palace.

Pass the Grand Master's Mansion."

She suddenly remembered something and said, "That night?"

"It was that night."

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Chang Qing's face, and a little mist suddenly appeared in her eyes. Although she looked at me, she seemed to see through my body and see someone somewhere somewhere.

, after a while, he seemed to have come back to his senses, looked at me and said: "If I remember correctly, you were injured by an assassin that night, right?"

"Yes."

"I seem to still remember that someone took action to protect you."

That night, the assassin took action after she stepped down, but I didn't expect that she saw everything, so I nodded: "Yes."

"Who is the person who protects you? Do you know him?"
