Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu had actually known this for a long time, but they still looked at each other and asked their mother and concubine in surprise: "Mr. Zhi?"

Xia Rongxin fell into deep thought. She remembered that Mr. Zhe did not interact with her on weekdays, but during that time, he suddenly came to talk to her and had a great time. He also came to Yichun Hall many times to help her with the New Year's Eve feast.

In the eyes of Xia Rongxin, who was in a very depressed mood at the time, Zhi Guiren was gentle and considerate to her. Xia Rongxin, who had been in the palace for a long time, naively thought that she had encountered the deep love between sisters, which was very rare in the palace.

matter.

Now it seems that all this is the conspiracy of Mr. Zhi! The behavior of Mr. Zhi is really unbelievable. He is inexplicably close to Xia Rongxin, and he is very concerned about the New Year's Eve feast. Behind the seemingly devoid of desires and demands, there is something unexpected.

There is a bigger conspiracy and ambition.

"Yes! It must be her! That bitch!" Xia Rongxin was furious and slapped the edge of the bed hard. Normally it would hurt her if she touched it, but now she couldn't care less about the redness of her palms.

Qi Wangshu quickly took his mother's hand and said distressedly: "Concubine, don't do anything to hurt yourself. Now you just need to say it in front of your father. I don't think my father will blame you."

Xia Rongxin's head hurt from anger. She held her forehead and leaned on the edge of the bed rail, breathing heavily. Xia Rongxin remembered that she trusted Mr. Zhi so much, and even gave Lanyuan Pavilion a lot of things to help her succeed this year.

It's a good year, but the noble man repays kindness with hatred. It's really irritating!

Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu saw them and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xia Rongxin. They were afraid that she would faint from anger again, so they hurriedly shouted: "Teach the imperial doctor! The imperial doctor!"

Xia Rongxin grabbed their hands, closed her eyes and endured the discomfort, shook her head and said: "No need! I'm going to find that bitch Yin Rui now! I want to find out why she did this.

!”

Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing looked at each other. From the words between the lines, they learned that the mother-in-law had thought too simplistically about Guiren Zhi's intentions. She probably didn't see Guiren Zhi's true intentions clearly at all. But it's no wonder, who

Could you have guessed that an unknown palace concubine would collude with that hot favorite concubine?

Just as she said this, Xia Rongxin was about to stand up and go out without even wearing a coat. She wanted to ask Yin Zhi personally why he wanted to harm her! Why he wanted to ruin this feast! She had told her more than once about the importance of the feast.

Sex! Why!

"Concubine, please calm down!" Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing hugged the concubine and let her go out without saying anything.

"Concubine! Calm down, maybe there is more to this matter than we thought." Liang Huanqing pressed Xia Rongxin's shoulders and looked into her eyes and said seriously.

The things behind this are intertwined and really complicated, but the two of them do not intend to tell Xia Rongxin directly now. This matter must be announced to the public in front of the emperor in order to deal the most powerful blow to the Lu family.

Just when Xia Rongxin was fuming in her bedroom, Eunuch He Sheng hurriedly received the news and came.

Yun Xi and other imperial doctors were guarding the door of the dormitory. When she saw Eunuch He Sheng coming, she hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. He."

Eunuch He Sheng had a good relationship with them, so naturally he said with a sad face: "Aunt Yunxi."

Seeing Eunuch He Sheng's hesitant expression, Yun Xi could naturally guess what was going on in the Qinzheng Palace at this moment: "The Emperor...did you ask Mr. He to come and invite the Empress?"

Eunuch He Sheng nodded, lowered his head and sighed: "Aunt Yunxi also knows that this matter is really too big... The emperor was dining with envoys from other countries just now. It's really... too... It’s embarrassing.”

Aunt Yun Xi also nodded awkwardly, naturally understanding: "Then...Then the Emperor..."

Although Yun Xi was embarrassed to ask again, after all, it was an important matter related to the imperial concubine, so she still had to ask.

Eunuch He Sheng didn't want to say anything more and just shook his head. Yun Xi knew that it was indeed what she imagined.

"But this matter... really has nothing to do with my mother-in-law... Although it is a state banquet hosted by my mother-in-law, but... the etiquette department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also involved... No one wants such a thing to happen... You cannot blame the imperial concubine entirely..." Yun Xi He argued anxiously.

"Hey... Aunt Yunxi doesn't need to say more. The head of the House of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Rites were scolded. After all, the state banquet is in the palace, and the imperial concubine is the main one in charge. If something goes wrong at the state banquet, it will definitely happen. There needs to be accountability. No one wants something like this to happen, but someone has to take responsibility. Otherwise, the country has lost such a big face, how can we just let it go..." Eunuch He Sheng shook his head, looking helpless. said.

"But Mr. He...you have to help me say a few nice words in front of the emperor..." Yun Xi was also speechless, not knowing what to say.

Everyone understands the truth, but this incident really happened unexpectedly.

"You don't need Aunt Yunxi to tell you, our family has already spoken out in front of the emperor...but...if this matter is not resolved, it will be useless just to talk about it!" Eunuch He Sheng was also very irritable. What a good state banquet. , why is it like this?

Yun Xi stood in front of Eunuch He Sheng with a look of embarrassment and worry. She used to be natural and generous, but now she was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Eunuch He Sheng couldn't bear to see her like this, so he comforted her softly: "Hey... after all, this is all the master's business, and it should be resolved by the master. Just saying this, the emperor can let our family come to invite the imperial concubine. The empress and the princess are going to the Qinzheng Palace together, the emperor is waiting, don’t let the wait be impatient."

Yun Xi nodded, agreed, turned around and entered the palace.

He Sheng looked at the imperial doctors standing all over the courtyard and nodded politely to them. The imperial doctors also looked at them in return. They tacitly understood that they did not speak. In the palace today, it is better to be cautious in your words and actions.

Yun Xi pushed open the door of the bedroom, and Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing were kneeling beside the bed. Concubine Mei looked into the distance with tears in her eyes, her face full of despair.

Yun Xi walked up to Concubine Mei, knelt down silently, kowtowed ceremoniously, and then said: "Concubine, your Majesty invites you——"

Xia Rongxin looked forward with empty eyes, and two lines of hot tears fell silently from her eyes. Then she slowly pushed away Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing, who were looking up at her, stood up indifferently, and walked to the dressing mirror with bare feet: " Yun Xi, please put some makeup on me."

Yun Xi couldn't help but burst out crying when she saw the imperial concubine's expression of despair. Even though her tears were flowing, she quickly stood up, picked up the wooden comb in front of the makeup box, and started cleaning Concubine Mei's clothes over and over again. Three thousand blue hairs are combed.

When Qi Wangshu saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel moved. She leaned on the edge of the bed. There was a warm charcoal fire burning in the bedroom. They didn't feel cold at all while sitting on the ground. Qi Wangshu bit his fingers to prevent himself from crying.

, but tears burst out of my eyes, and tears fell like rain.

Liang Huanqing watched them cry silently and could feel their despair.

From the moment Mei Guifei first entered the palace, she had to face a harem of three thousand people she loved. Palace concubines are very different from ordinary people. They all have outstanding looks and family backgrounds, and it is obvious that they can get what they want outside the palace.

I wish to win the heart of one person and have a happy ending where we stay together forever.

But as soon as he entered the palace, he parted ways with the talented man and beautiful woman who had longed to live together.

The emperor not only has his own concubine, he can have thousands of different women. He must try his best to win his favor. If he is not careful, he will fall into hell and never be reincarnated forever.

Qi Wangshu grew up in this environment since she was a child. She has seen the pain of her mother and concubine since she was a child, but she never thought that now, when she should be enjoying family happiness, there would be such a situation.

things happen.

Liang Huanqing clenched her fists tightly, remembering that the mastermind behind the scenes, Lu Huiling, was triumphant at this moment, and held back a breath in her heart. She only hoped that her brother and the others would find evidence outside the palace, as long as they could hold the emperor back.

, if he is not allowed to make a verdict as soon as possible, there will be a chance of a comeback.

When the time comes, Lu Huiling will definitely be by her side, chiming in a few words from time to time. Perhaps, she doesn't need to speak at all. As the prime minister, Lu Gaohong will naturally handle the matter more righteously than she does. In order to give the envoys and courtiers a

Explain that the emperor may make a wrong judgment, and we must not let this happen.

Liang Huanqing turned his head and looked out the window. At this time, the sky was gray, and thick and heavy dark clouds shrouded everyone's hearts. For a moment, the dark clouds were overwhelming, and there was lightning and thunder.

He Sheng stood in the courtyard of Yichun Hall with his sleeves rolled up. The weather suddenly turned cold. Today, he was praising the weather for a feast, but it must have been God's fault.

Suddenly I heard a voice exclaiming: "It's snowing..."

He Sheng then raised his head and looked at the sky. Sure enough, he could see the heavy snowflakes falling lightly. He stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes, which quickly melted in his palms.

In an instant, the entire palace was covered with white snow, but the heavy snow did not cause the previous excitement, but made the entire palace quiet...

Zhao Zhao left the palace first, transferred a few people from the military camp, showed them the portrait, then dressed up in disguise and prepared for a large-scale search.

But since they couldn't let others know, otherwise their plans might be exposed, so they had to take off their military uniforms and dress up in disguise.

On the night of reunion with thousands of lights on, the entire city of Shangjing was enveloped in a dense atmosphere of human fireworks. Even though there was heavy snow in the sky at this time, it still didn't feel the slightest bit cold.

"Ah! It's snowing! It's snowing! Mom! It's snowing!" A child like a New Year doll on the roadside jumped up and down holding a candied haws.

A woman walked out of the kitchen, which was full of smoke and smoke. She wiped her wet hands on the apron around her waist, adjusted the child's hat with her red hands, and was about to carry her into the house:

"Come in and eat dumplings~"

From them they could just see the tallest tower in the palace, where the Holy One was praying for the people of the world this morning.

The child was held by his mother, pointing with a candied haws to the high platform with red lanterns and bright yellow curtains hanging around it, and said: "Mother, are the emperor and ladies in the palace also eating dumplings now?"

The woman smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, everyone will eat dumplings today~"

"How wonderful it is to be like today every day~" The child licked a mouthful of candied haws, and seemed to be sweetened to his heart, and his smile was particularly sweet.

The woman wiped the dirt from the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "I just know how to eat."

As he said that, he looked at the heavy snow outside and hurriedly carried the child into the house.

Zhao Zhao couldn't help but feel moved when he saw this heartwarming scene. This worldly atmosphere can warm people's hearts the most.

Zhao Zhao was lost in thought when he felt someone pulling his hand.

When he looked down, he saw a tightly wrapped little boy. He looked up at himself and held half a piece of sugar cookie in his other hand.

Zhao Zhao found it interesting. He knelt down and looked at the boy and asked, "What? The other girls have gone home for dinner, why don't you go back?"

The boy took a bite of the sugar cake and looked at Zhao Zhao with his big round eyes. He pointed behind him: "My house is right behind, what about you? Aren't you going back?"

Zhao Zhao was stunned for a moment. He had no home for a long time.

The little boy looked at Zhao Zhao and asked again: "Aren't you going home?"

Zhao Zhao smiled and wanted to have fun with the little boy, but a man who looked like a farm worker walked out of the room behind the little boy. He walked up to him, knelt down, hugged the little boy, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Call me."

How many times have you stopped eating? You still eat sugar cakes and your teeth are gone."

Then he smiled apologetically at Zhao Zhao and said, "I'm sorry, the child is too naughty, disturbing the young master."

Zhao Zhao shook his head and smiled: "Nothing, the child is very cute."

The little boy didn't seem to be afraid of strangers. He took Zhao Zhao's finger and said, "You don't have a home, so come to my house for dinner."

The man knocked the boy's hand off, lowered his head and pretended to scold him: "You are just talking nonsense."

Zhao Zhao laughed dumbly and looked at the boy.

The man looked up at Zhao Zhao and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, then let's eat together."

The man thought, if you have a family, why are you wandering around here during the Chinese New Year? I have never seen Zhao Zhao on weekdays.

Zhao Zhao smiled and was about to politely refuse when a group of subordinates who had changed into casual clothes came behind him. Zhao Zhao was afraid that they would come and disturb others, so he stood up and said: "No, we have something important to do.

"

Then he looked at the little boy, held his hand and said, "Eat less sugar cookies. Only by eating more can you grow up."

The man smiled honestly at him.

Zhao Zhao nodded and walked towards them in the wind and snow.
