Zhi Guiren walked out of Yichun Hall, looking lost and dejected. Ah Xun looked at her just like she walked out of Minghua Hall that day, her eyes were distracted, her body was weak, and she seemed to fall down with every step she took. He was particularly worried about Zhi Guiren's failure.

He will collapse when he returns to Lanyuan Pavilion.

"My lord, didn't Concubine Mei listen to your advice and hurry up and give her orders as you said? You have completed the tasks assigned to you by Concubine Ming, why are you still worried?" Ah Xun looked at it.

Not wanting to go any further, I couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Zhi Guiren walked towards Lanyuan Pavilion step by step with the Wanfu gesture. Although she had completed the task and if it went well, she would be able to give the mission to Concubine Ming, but now she didn't feel any relief in her heart. She could only feel the pain in her heart.

The pressure became even heavier.

"Axun, you said... what did Concubine Ming want to do at the New Year's Eve family banquet when she did that?" Mr. Zhi came back to his senses and said this slowly.

Ah Xun knew that Mr. Zhi had always been careless, and he would definitely want to know why Concubine Ming asked him to do these things, but these were his master's affairs. Ask Ah Xun, a little girl, how could she know so much.

Ah Xun stepped forward and took Mr. Zhi's hand. They had been so intimate outside the palace before, but due to various rules in the palace, they had not had such an intimate move for a long time.

"My lord, after all, the matter has been settled successfully and smoothly. You have done what you promised to Concubine Ming. Concubine Ming also rescued the master and his wife safely, and sent them back to their hometown in Jingzhou for retirement. It is a loss like this.

, it is a good thing that they can enjoy their old age in peace. Why should noble people think so much? As the saying goes, if you are rich, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone. Now, noble people, you should take care of yourself. Have a good time this winter.

, spring is coming soon.”

Ah Xun seemed to be relieved and said easily.

After this winter, there are many more winters to come. They can survive this winter, but what about the next winter? Will they not be able to survive it?

Zhi Guiren always has such pessimistic thoughts. She shook her head and said worriedly: "If Concubine Ming tampered with her hands and feet at the palace banquet and hurt people's lives, and this happened because of me, how can my conscience be put to rest?

. Now I can overcome the current difficulties and survive this winter because of the help of Concubine Ming, but what about the future... There will be many long years waiting for me in the future. "

Ah Xun was speechless for a moment after hearing this. She didn't expect that Zhi Guiren was actually thinking about these things now. This was obviously a long, long time ago. For a little girl like Ah Xun, it was a blessing to be able to overcome the difficulties in front of her. Where?

I still have the energy to deal with the difficulties that may arise long in the future.

Zhi Guiren still can't let go, but now he can't go to Minghua Hall to ask Concubine Ming clearly, but how can he let her ask...

In the dead of night, Guiren Zhi secretly asked Ah Xun to pass the news to Minghua Hall. After Xu Lan received the news, he quickly told Concubine Ming.

Lu Huiling had just returned from Qinzheng Palace. Although Qi Bingyu was indeed angry with her that day, he still loved her very much. All it took was Lu Huiling to coax her a little, and Qi Bingyu loved her as before.

Lu Huiling also changed her previous strategy of dominating Qi Bingyu to the end. Instead, she generously persuaded him to take advantage of her, which not only protected other concubines who were close to her, but also allowed Qi Bingyu to see that she was truly sincere.

Repented.

Today, Qi Bingyu has Liang Fengmian and Lu Gaohong helping him manage the government affairs of the Celestial Dynasty, Xia Rongxin helping him with all matters in the palace, and Lu Huiling by his side to amuse him and ease his government affairs pressure. He truly enjoys the blessings of heaven and man.

Lu Huiling didn't want to stay in Qinzheng Hall, so she came back early. After taking a bath and changing clothes, she combed her hair carefully in front of the dressing table and looked at her face full of traces of youth.

Lu Huiling had imagined countless times that when Qi Jingqin returned to the court in triumph, she would stand on the Mingdai and greet him with all the people. At that time, Qi Jingqin must have lost her former youthfulness and become tough and unyielding.

No matter what he looks like, Lu Huiling will always like him.

Lu Huiling stood up, wearing thin clothes, with her hair disheveled, and danced in the palace, imagining that she was Qi Jingqin in armor in front of her, and her every frown and smile were imprinted in his eyes.

She imagined that she could dance in front of Qi Jingqin, drink and have fun with him, and finally cuddle up together. She would lie in Qi Jingqin's arms and fall asleep together.

Lu Huiling drank some wine when she got up. If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will get drunk. Lu Huiling's cheeks turned red and she dismissed everyone. She closed the door alone and jumped around in the spacious palace with her arms spread out. Her clothes were flying and her hair was black.

Flying, she hummed softly, her steps following the rhythm of her own drum.

Finally, she sat down in the center of the palace, with her obscene clothes spread on the ground. She looked at the magnificent patterns on the roof, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

This prosperous Minghua Hall, this palace built with tens of thousands of taels of gold, this supreme honor, this overwhelming wealth, are like a golden cage, trapping Lu Huiling inside.

"Qi Jingqin..." Lu Huiling looked at the pattern in the center of the circle and murmured to herself, "Take me away..."

The wine didn't make her drunk at all, but when she thought of Qi Jingqin's deep eyes, she was willing to sleep in his arms forever.

Lu Huiling curled up and hugged her legs, looking extremely insecure. She sobbed softly and murmured Qi Jingqin's name.

It was only at this time that she could be herself for a short time.

"My queen, my queen, are you asleep?" Xu Lan gently knocked on the door and asked, as if there was something urgent.

Xu Lan had just heard the news from Ah Xun, thinking that it was still early and Concubine Ming might not have rested at this hour, so she hoped to tell her the good news quickly, but she saw that all the maids who were supposed to be waiting in the palace came out.

After asking, I found out that it was Concubine Ming who asked them to come out.

Worried that something would happen to Concubine Ming, Xu Lan hurried forward and knocked on the door to ask.

Lu Huiling opened her tearful eyes and realized that Xu Lan was coming in. She quickly sat up, wiped away her tears, and sat back in front of the dressing mirror. After everything was done, Lu Huiling said: "You

come in."

Xu Lan heard the sound and pushed the door open. He saw the Ming Concubine wearing only thin obscene clothes and sitting barefoot in front of the dressing mirror. She quickly went to get a shawl and said in surprise: "My concubine, it's freezing cold today."

Yes, you should wear more clothes."

With that said, Xu Lan put the shawl firmly on Concubine Ming's body.

Lu Huiling did not turn around to look at her, fearing that she would see her eyes red from crying and ask questions again.

"You are so anxious to see me, what's the matter?" Lu Huiling stared at herself in the bronze mirror and asked indifferently.

Xu Lan was busy packing up the towels and handkerchiefs that Concubine Ming had just used. When Concubine Ming asked her, she realized why she had come. It must be said that as she got older, she was a little forgetful.

"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about it." Xu Lan quickly blamed herself, then said quickly, "There is a letter from Lord Zhe in Lanyuan Pavilion, saying that Concubine Mei agreed with Lord Zhe's opinion and also praised him.

The noble man said it well, he sent someone to do it on the spot."

Lu Huiling was stunned for a moment, then laughed, tucks the broken hair at her temples, and then said with a smile: "Then Xia Rongxin still doesn't know that she is being kept in the dark."

"Concubine Mei was very happy after hearing what Ah Xun said about the situation at that time. She took Guiren Zhi's hand and exchanged greetings. She was afraid that she would still be kept in the dark when it happened." Xu Lan agreed with a smile.

road.

Lu Huiling smiled contemptuously and asked again: "No one discovered that Yin Rui has anything to do with me, right?"

"No, these things are all done in private. The slaves are very careful and no third person will see it." Xu Lan said seriously.

"That's good. Now we just have to wait for the New Year's Eve family dinner." Lu Huiling smiled with satisfaction.

It is now the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it will be New Year's Eve in a few days. When New Year's Eve is over and spring flowers bloom, Qi Jingqin will lead his army to drive the enemy forces of Daliang out of the territory of the Celestial Empire. Everyone is looking forward to it

They can return home in triumph early.

Other small countries seemed to have predicted this news. Seeing that the Chinese army was still so good at fighting, they took the initiative to make friends with the Chinese. Now according to the custom of the Chinese, on New Year's Eve, when the whole country celebrates, they will naturally bring gifts.

Give gifts to the Chinese royal family to celebrate.

New Year's Eve will come in three days, and envoys sent by other countries have also entered Shangjing City one after another. Master Shen, the Minister of Rites, personally leads people to entertain them and arranges for them to live in the inn. They will be invited to the palace on New Year's Eve.

.

The Celestial Dynasty came to Beijing, the prosperous capital, and everyone seemed to know that General Liang and Prince Jing were going to fight the Great Liang in a battle that would go down in history in the next year, and this battle would definitely be won. Everyone was cheering for it,

The whole country also has an unprecedented sense of security.

Qi Bingyu looked at the scene of thousands of nations coming to court, and couldn't help but nodded in approval. He took Xia Rongxin's hand beside him and said, "Concubine Mei has worked hard these past few days, and she stayed until New Year's Eve..."

Xia Rongxin playfully reached out to cover Qi Bingyu's mouth, and said coquettishly: "I don't have to work hard. This is what I should do. If the emperor says this again, I will be unhappy."

Qi Bingyu smiled and nodded, as if he had thought of something again, and asked: "I didn't have time to ask in the past few days, but I don't know what interesting programs Mei Guifei has prepared for today's New Year's Eve family banquet?"
