"That person's name is Huang Tianba."

Originally, when Chang Qing was talking to me, all the concubines around me were waiting with bated breath. The whole Lanxiangju was quiet, and in the silence, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw a handsome figure walking in from the door.

As soon as Chang Qing saw her, she immediately smiled and said: "The eldest princess is back."

The eldest princess Pei Yuanzhen, when I saw this young princess, I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart. Maybe it was because from that beautiful and childish face, I could still vaguely see the shadow of another person.

, it was her brother, the former Cloud King Pei Yuanchen, who was covered in blood in the sea of ​​fire, but still couldn't forget Huang Tianba.

I heard that not long after Pei Yuanhao ascended the throne, their mother became a monk. The emperor built a nunnery for Zhao Shuyuan in his hometown and sent many people to serve her. He also named Pei Yuanzhen the eldest princess and asked her to accompany her mother for a while.

Time.

Speaking of which, although Pei Yuanchen died "inexplicably", the emperor was really "kind" to the family members of the late King Yun.

As soon as the surrounding concubines saw her, they all came forward to greet them. Pei Yuanzhen greeted them one by one, and then walked over with a smile: "I wonder why the queen sister asked about that person?"

"Ask me casually," Chang Qing said with a smile, "I just didn't expect that the eldest princess would still remember it."

"Yes, he lived in Prince Yun's Mansion for a long time, and my deceased imperial brother loved him very much. It's hard to forget such a person." Pei Yuanzhen smiled and said, "I heard that

, he is still from Jiangnan."

At this point, she turned to look at Liu Li and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Liu Zhaoyi's father seemed to have been harmed by those barbarians from the south, right?"

When he mentioned this, Liu Li's originally deserted face became even paler.

After a moment of silence, she said: "Those untouchables in the south will not regret their death!"

Lan Xiangjuli was originally so warm, but when she said a word, it seemed like a cold wind had blown by. I shivered subconsciously, and looked up at that beautiful face, my fingertips trembling slightly.
p>

From her eyes, I saw a deep-seated hatred.

It seems that Liu Shizhou was harmed by someone from Huisheng Pharmacy. This incident was very harmful to her, but I didn’t expect her hatred to be so deep. I felt a little uneasy.

Everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment, then heard Lu Shuyi smile and say: "Interesting. I heard that Liu Zhaoyi's brother wrote to the court a while ago, requesting the emperor to abolish the untouchability status in the three southern provinces. Why does Zhaoyi hate the people in the south so much?"
p>

"Brother is an elder brother, and I am me." Liu Zhaoyi said calmly, and looked at her again: "When the Minister of Punishment wrote a letter of objection, he may not have asked Shuyi for her opinion."

Seeing that the two people's tone became tense, Chang Qing interrupted them and said: "Okay, these are government affairs, please don't discuss them in the harem."

The two said together: "Yes."

Chang Qing looked back at Pei Yuanzhen and said with a smile: "I wonder why the eldest princess came here?"

"Oh, I went on a long trip and brought back some small gifts for you. I heard that everyone is here to see Xu Cairen. It's rare to get together, so I didn't give them to each place one by one."

After saying this, she waved, and the maid behind her came over and distributed the gifts she brought to the hands of the concubines. Everyone joked and laughed for a while, and then dispersed.

I was originally used to leaving with Shen Rou, but it was already approaching lunch time, so I stayed to serve Xu Cairen. When everyone left, Yuwen helped open the gift that the eldest princess had sent. It turned out that

A box of incense, as soon as I opened it, I smelled a light and fresh smell.

Yuwen smiled and said: "The eldest princess is really thoughtful. The smell of this fragrance is really elegant."

Xu Cairen smiled and nodded, then ordered: "Yuwen, put it away."

"Yes."

I walked up to her and said softly: "Xu Cairen, I don't know what Cairen wants to have for lunch. I will tell the imperial kitchen to prepare it."

Xu Cairen and Yuwen glanced at me. There was a somewhat guarded look in their eyes. I understood it in my heart and just looked at them with a calm smile. Xu Cairen thought for a while and said, "I want something light."

It’s fine, but I don’t have much appetite.”

"Yes, I will give you the instructions right now."

I have never served pregnant women, but I heard that they have no appetite to eat when they are happy, and something may have happened before. Xu Caieren was very careful and didn't eat much at lunch, and Shen Rou almost didn't ask.

As for her, at night, I asked the imperial kitchen to make some sour and cool things and send them to her.

As soon as I entered the door, I realized that the atmosphere was not right. I hurriedly wanted to exit when I heard that familiar voice saying: "Why are you here?"

Pei Yuanhao was sitting at the table, one hand still holding Xu Cairen's hand, but he had turned his head and saw me, frowning.

I stepped forward and saluted, and said: "The imperial concubine asked the servants to come over and take care of Xu Cairen's food."

"Oh?"

He frowned again, and I waved my hand to let the little eunuch from the imperial kitchen who was following behind me come in. From the food box, he took out a bowl of sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, a plate of fish with vinegar, and a plate of braised silver and rice noodles.

A plate of crystal plum blossom buns. Xu Cairen's eyes lit up when he saw these dishes. Yuwen beside him said softly: "Cairen, aren't you just wanting to eat these dishes? Did you tell her to go?"<

/p>

"No..." Xu Cairen shook his head, looked up at me again, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Don't say that, sir, please use it."

After saying that, I presented a pair of ivory chopsticks inlaid with silver. Pei Yuanhao sat there and kept looking at me. Xu Cairen said softly: "Your Majesty, please use some with me."

"Okay, you can eat more."

The two sat down and started eating. Perhaps because the emperor was around, Xu Cairen's appetite improved a lot. Pei Yuanhao gave her some dishes, and both of them had smiles on their faces. After eating,

, I served them and rinsed my mouth, and then I said: "You have a good rest, I will go back to your empress."

"Okay, you go."

I just turned around to leave when I heard Pei Yuanhao say: "Forget it, I'll go over and take a look. I want the imperial concubine to keep an eye on your affairs."

When Xu Cairen heard this, he quickly stood up. Pei Yuanhao held her shoulders and asked her to sit down, saying, "Have a good rest. I will come over to see you when I have time."

"Yes. I respectfully send you to the Emperor."

Xu Cairen and Yuwen respectfully walked to the door. I was still hesitant in my steps. Pei Yuanhao had already walked to the front and looked back at me: "You still won't lead the way?"

I bit my lower lip and walked over slowly.

At this time, it was not late, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in the garden, which was full of lush flowers and plants. Because it was dinner time, there was almost no one in the garden. Eunuch Yu and Ning Yan were originally following him, and were

He winked and followed us from a distance. Only his and I’s footsteps echoed in the corridor, which sounded particularly frightening.

I almost couldn't wait to run to Shen Rou as quickly as possible, but the person behind me was not in a hurry. Every step seemed to be stepping on my heart, making my heart beat almost abnormally.
p>

At this moment, I heard his deep voice ringing in my ears——

"You have to know that as long as you make a small mistake, I can send you back to the cold palace."

My steps froze and I looked back at him.

His face was as peaceful as ever, and the golden light cast by the setting sun shone on his face, as if it were coated with a layer of gold paint, not only hard, but even without warmth.

I suddenly realized what he meant.

I couldn't help but sneered in my heart, and I said to him respectfully: "Slave, you will definitely not make this mistake!"

His face froze and he stared at me, with a hint of anger on his resolute face. I lowered my eyelids gently, turned around and continued walking forward.

The atmosphere along the way was almost breathless. When I reached Shen Rou's room, my back was already wet and I was covered in cold sweat. However, Shen Rou had already come up to me, as if she were a boneless person.

She gently snuggled into his arms and said softly: "Your Majesty, I thought that the Emperor would not come to see me tonight."

Pei Yuanhao looked down at the beauty in his arms and smiled faintly: "Why not?"

"Who made me fail to conceive a dragon seed for the emperor?"

"Who said you can't?" Pei Yuanhao stretched out his finger and gently picked her delicate chin: "I will let you..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Rou's sweet smile, and the two hugged each other and walked towards the inner room.

I had only one foot to step into the house, so I backed out at this time, and everyone in the house also backed out. Mingzhu walked up to me and said: "The queen has asked you to serve me, and I will leave it to you tonight."

Let’s go to night.”

I didn't say anything and nodded silently.

The people following Shen Rou all retreated. At this time, a gust of fragrant wind blew. When I looked up, it was Ning Yan walking in front of me. I saw that her makeup was exquisite and the spices she used were also very good, although not as good as Shen Rou.

Rou is stunningly beautiful, and she is also outstanding among the palace maids.

It seems that she is still unwilling to be a female servant.

Ningyan looked at me and sneered: "You used to guard outside, and you still do now. Why don't you go in one day?"

I also smiled and looked at her: "If you want to go in, I can help you find a way."

Her face froze, she snorted coldly, and walked away.

There was still no expression on my face, I just stood there numbly, but I heard a long sigh, and when I turned around, it was Eunuch Yu looking at me, with a more sad look on his face, and I walked slowly

Past: "Father-in-law."

"Miss Qing, why are you——"

His gray eyebrows were frowning tightly, as if he was very worried about my current appearance. I smiled softly, looked around and saw that there was no one around, pulled him to a secluded place in the corner, and said softly: "

Eunuch Yu, Qingying wants to ask you something."

"What happened?"

"Master Liu Yi wrote to the emperor to abolish the untouchability status in the three provinces of Jiangnan. What is the emperor's plan?"

Eunuch Yu looked at me with an ugly face: "Miss Qing, you have to know that the harem——"

"The harem cannot discuss government affairs arbitrarily, and this Qingying knows it." I said hurriedly: "It's just that I followed the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, so I paid more attention to this matter, and I also asked Eunuch Yu..."
