Since he had nothing better to do, he chose a piece of plain brocade to embroider a silk handkerchief. In fact, I am not good at embroidery at all.

Since he had something on his mind, the needle and thread in his hand would not listen to him. "The tip of the needle continued to pierce into his finger." "Hiss!" I cried out in pain.

"Forget it Miss, let Zhan Yan embroider instead. If you go on like this, even ten fingers will be pierced. "

He put his finger in his mouth and remained silent.

"Young Mistress, Consort Rong has arrived." Reiko hurried to report.

"Oh?" I put down the embroidered handkerchief and quickly changed into my clothes to welcome them. Consort Rong was the leader of the three wives and had been in the palace for a long time. It was just that every time she accompanied the Empress Dowager, he would rarely visit any of the six palaces. Moreover, I have never seen the Empress Dowager before, so I believe that they are here for the Fourth Prince.

The Consort Rong sat upright, looking down at me. Strangely, her eyes were like stagnant water, devoid of life.

"My concubine,, greets the Consort Rong Empress and the Empress." I bowed to her, solemnly.

"No need to be so polite." The Consort Rong said indifferently: "I am here to pass Empress Dowager's imperial decree to Shuyuan. and every month, when it's fifteen or twenty-five, it's necessary to bring a prince to the Ningshou Palace. Greetings to Empress Dowager. "

"Yes, chenqie will obey Empress Dowager's imperial decree." I kowtow again. Consort Rong turned around and said, "Empress Dowager doesn't like to be late. Shuyuan, remember to be punctual." He then left in a hurry without another word.

I was so surprised that I couldn't close my mouth. How could there be such a strange concubine? It was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither happy nor angry. It was like the tip of an iceberg, but also like a rock sinking into the sea. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, they could not stir up the slightest bit of ripples.

It was as if he knew that he was destined to live a quiet life and no longer wished for any miracles.

"Not just Consort Rong, even Consort Rou Lifei is the same." When Ning Zhi saw me, she couldn't help but say in a low voice, "The third concubine is the one who is close to Empress Dowager. Other than the Empress Dowager, they did not interact with anyone else. Even the Emperor is rare. "

Ning Zhi's words caused me to tremble. "So it was like that in the first place?" His concubine didn't enter the palace to serve the emperor, but to enter the Empress Dowager instead.

"That's not true. The third concubine was originally lucky when the emperor was a prince. Apart from the empress, she was the one who had been by the emperor's side the longest. The second year after the Emperor ascended the throne, he received the imperial decree of the Empress Dowager. "From then on, there will be no more servants by the Empress Dowager's side."

What kind of secrets were hidden here? Why would the emperor appoint three concubines to serve the empress dowager? He felt more and more like he was surrounded by schemes, and with every step he got closer and closer.

congealed fat brings up a bowl of hot ginseng tea: "Young Mistress, drink a cup of tea to boost your qi!" I took the teacup and gently touched the cup lid. "Have you sent some supplements to Fourth Prince yet?"

"Don't worry Young Mistress, we've already sent someone to send them over." Ning Xiang helped me cool down.

"Be careful, I'm afraid he hasn't gotten used to moving to the palace!" He placed the teacup on the table and said, "The Emperor hasn't come to see him in the past few days. It seems that he doesn't feel good about it either."

"Yeah, she's still a child." Ning Zhi whispered, "I heard that the Emperor doesn't go to Honorable Sun's place often anymore."

"Hm." He felt pain in his spine, so he stood up and said: "Let's go and see Yun Long." Xiao Luzi ran over and held my hand.

"In three days, I will be fifteen. I want to bring Yun Long to the Empress Dowager. He instructed them to prepare and ask around to find out what they needed to do in detail. "No matter what, you must not pay your respects."

They both answered me. He went around the corridor and headed east, all the way to the end of the backyard, where the dorm I had prepared for Yun Long was located.

On an autumn afternoon, the sun was still scorching. Separated by the fragrance of the phoenix tail, it became speckles of light. In front of the table, a seven year old youth was engrossed in the Classic of Virtue.

She had thick, curling eyelashes, a firm and delicate nose, and her thin, faint lips were pressed tightly together, making her look like Xuan Yuan. I signaled Ning Zhi not to make a sound and only stood outside the door to secretly watch him.

Her delicate face was young and tender, but her eyebrows were tightly knitted. Even though she was still a child, she could still see the determination in her bones. It's really hard for me to believe that such a ambitious child would intentionally hurt Prince.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I heard Yun Long call me. He then turned around and smiled: "I came to see you and disturbed your interest in studying."

"It's alright, I just happened to finish reading it." "He smiled subtly and came out to meet me." Once mufei is done, the sun outside the palace will rise. "

I smiled and followed him in.
