There is a breeze blowing outside the window, and the sun shines through the window screen as light as haze, casting warm spots on the luxurious wool carpet.Lu Ying sat on the chair with a slanted body, her cheeks were hot, and she hung her wrists in the air, only feeling that the brush strokes were extraordinarily soft, once no one was holding her hand, she couldn't use her strength at all, her arms gradually felt sore, and her palms were also moist.

The fragrance lingers at the end of the nose, intoxicating to the heart, it is the unique breath of a young girl.Binglun looked in a trance. Many years ago, she was also under the window, watching people write in this way. Although the whole "Wei Shi and Nan Tie" is a copy, it is elegant, graceful, charming and lively, quite a bit "fairy" What is the difference between the state of the moon making shadows and the red lotus reflecting the water, and the simple and naive strokes and ugly crooked handwriting on the paper in front of you?

Lu Ying's chest rose and fell slightly, the sound of her breathing was clearly audible in the quiet air, Binglun's eyes gradually dimmed, and she casually put the partridge tea cup in her hand on the table, the crisp and clear sound made Lu Ying He jumped, looked sideways, but saw Binglun's expression was indifferent: "Forget it, don't write."

Lu Ying got up from her seat, and then knelt down, her face was terrified and ashamed: "This servant is stupid and has no understanding, and he owes the empress dowager to teach."

Binglun's phoenix eyes were as dark as night, and she couldn't see the slightest joy or anger. After a long time, Fang slowly said: "You are a beginner, so I can't blame you."

Lu Ying didn't know how to answer the words, she lowered her head and her body trembled slightly.Everything that happened these days was so unreal to her. Sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would pinch her arm to see if it was just a dream.The person in front of her was the empress dowager of the current dynasty. She had a high and noble status and an innate majesty. The strange thing was that she was close to him, and sometimes even seemed to be gentle. . . . . .She didn't know why she was lucky enough to be loved, she was just a small and humble court lady, from the beginning to the end, she respected her like a god, she didn't dare to get carried away for a moment, and she was even more afraid of making the slightest mistake in front of her.

Although Binglun didn't look at her, he seemed to feel her panic, and finally waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "That's all, you go down."

Lu Ying said softly: "Yes." She bowed and bowed, then bowed and retreated.

Binglun only felt a dull pain in her head, and while raising her hand to gently rub her temples, she walked slowly to the window, a slant of sunlight reflected on her beautiful and indifferent face, her eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly remembered that she had promised Lianzhen, if the weather is good and he wants to accompany her to ride a horse, he will put his hand down unknowingly.

There was a soft sound of curtains outside, Gao Xian bowed to her back, and said softly: "Queen Mother, there is news from the capital, the Marquis of Xiliang will leave the capital in a few days and rush to the palace."

"Him?" Binglun turned around abruptly, her phoenix eyes shot out two stern cold lights: "What is he here for?"

Gao Xian couldn't help but flinched a bit: "Master Hou sees that the Empress Dowager has no intention of returning to Beijing for the time being, and is concerned about her safety..."

The corners of Binglun's mouth sank slightly, and he used gestures to stop him from speaking, and the room suddenly became silent, deathly quiet, Gao Xian held his breath, and felt a chill down his back inexplicably.When Lian Zhen came out of the Xunfeng Palace yesterday, he didn't say a word, and his demeanor was very abnormal. Although he didn't know what Lian Zhen saw, he knew something was wrong. He hadn't left the empress dowager's side, so he hesitated all the time, and didn't report it in time. Now seeing his master's expression is not good, how could he dare to mention another word?

In just a short moment, the gloomy look in Binglun's eyes disappeared, and he ordered indifferently: "You immediately send someone to pass on to Jianfeng to enter the palace, and I will summon him."

Gao Xian didn't dare to neglect and left quickly.

Upon hearing the call, Yu Jianfeng arrived immediately, entered the hall, knelt down on one knee, and said, "My minister pays respects to the Queen Mother." Binglun lightly twisted the emerald beads in his hand, stood up from the throne, and said softly and calmly, "There is news from the capital, He said that Huo Ze would come to Xiyan Mountain soon."

Yu Jianfeng's heart was clear, and he said: "Beijing has known that the Empress Dowager has changed her original itinerary and wants to spend the winter in the palace, the two uncles of the country probably feel a little uneasy."

Binglun smiled: "This is Huo Song's idea, he is tied up by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, he can't leave, otherwise he should really want to come here in person." Glancing at Yu Jianfeng: "You stay here It won't be long, when you can find a reliable person from the surrounding area, and then go to deal with Huo Ze."

"This is easy, I will do it right away, um, the official position is too big to be suitable, and the Hou Ye who is too young may not look down on him." Yu Jianfeng thought for a while, and said: "The county magistrate of Longgu County Linghu Rong, I wonder if the Empress Dowager still remembers? He is well-rounded and sophisticated, so he is a very good candidate."

"Is he reliable?"

"He is very loyal, and he has a very good personal relationship with Weichen. Few people outside know about it."

Binglun nodded slightly, and changed the topic: "You can't understand the temperament of the second master of the Huo family, can you?"

There was a meaningful expression on Yu Jianfeng's face: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I believe that Linghu Rong will definitely do what he likes, so that Lord Hou will return to Beijing with satisfaction."

The chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the crabs are plump, and all kinds of sweet and fresh fruits are transported to the palace continuously by land or water. This time of the year is a good time for the women in the harem to have fun.Concubine Qing saw that the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, so she was busy ordering people to prepare a flower appreciation luncheon in the early morning, and then helped her servants to go to the Chenxiang Hall to invite Lian Zhen, but Lian Zhen declined on the grounds that she was unwell .

In the past two days, Lian Zhen didn't step out of the room, either reading, playing the piano, or painting, she was never idle for a moment. Hengbo, Baozhen and others were worried at first, but seeing that she was not in poor health, It doesn't seem like there is any trouble, and there is no way to get in when I want to comfort him.

After Concubine Qing left, Hengbo couldn't help but said: "Master Qing sincerely invites you, master shouldn't go against her whole heart."

Lianzhen didn't lift her head, but concentrated on the picture of the lady on the table. After a while, she reached out for another brush and dyed vermilion on the base of the girl's ears in the picture, Fang said: "The future will be long, and this is not the time."

Baozhen said: "It's so boring to stay in the house all day. Why don't you go out for a walk? The garden is as beautiful as a painting, even the air is fresh and sweet."

The scenery of Xiyan Mountain is already famous all over the world, not to mention the clusters of flowers, emerald green and flowing gold outside, you only need to open the window and step over the threshold, and the beautiful autumn scenery can be in your arms, but Lian Zhen is in the mood at this moment. In the severe winter, no matter how well the flowers bloom and how red the leaves are, it is difficult to catch the eyes of the law.

Seeing that she was silent, Baozhen couldn't help it, so a little palace lady came in with a flower basket, and in the basket were all kinds of flowers that had just been cut from the garden, so she went up and picked a few flowers, and inserted them into the table herself. in a vase.Lian Zhen looked up and saw it, and suddenly said: "These flowers are blooming well on the branches, why bother to cut them off?"

In the palaces of the masters in Dafan Palace, there are maids in charge of cutting and arranging flowers. It is a rule to always ensure that the flowers in the vases are fresh and tender. Baozhen was puzzled when she heard Lianzhen say so, and said: "It doesn't matter whether you cut it or not. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will always wither in the end. Why is the master suddenly feeling sorry today?"

Lian Zhen was slightly taken aback, and slowly put down the pen in her hand. Although Baozhen was fast-talking, she was by no means stupid, knowing that her words might touch her heart, so she smiled dryly: "But if you take good care of it, it will always bloom longer. Something more colorful."

Lian Zhen lowered her eyelashes and said softly: "Go out, don't disturb my drawing."

A flower as big as the mouth of a bowl, bright red like cinnabar, bright like morning glow, Lian Zhen stared at it for a moment, took it out of the bottle, and murmured: "No matter how beautiful a flower is, there will always be a time to wither." My own cheek: "Am I going to wither alone like this flower? Who will take care of me? Binglun, do you really have no heart for me?"

Her heart was sore, her eyes were filled with self-pity and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, she bit her lips tightly, and suddenly shook her head gently: "No, don't cry anymore, you can't be weak anymore, you can't always look forward to her gifts And pity, this time, you have to think of a way, even... Even if you see her guilty, but, alas, if that's the case, you should give up." In her heart, there was a battle between heaven and man, and for a long time, After finally making up his mind, he said to the door, "Come here!"

Seeing that Tong Jie came to invite Gao Xian, he couldn't help muttering, but he didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to the Chenxiang Hall, pulled up the curtain and entered the inner room, and smelled a strong milk fragrance, Lianzhen sat there alone Drinking tea, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "The servant has seen Master Chen."

"Well, you're here." Lian Zhen put down the sapphire milk tea bowl with lotus pattern in her hand, and said with a smile, "Is the Empress Dowager taking a nap?"

Gao Xian said: "Return to Master, the Empress Dowager left the palace after lunch and went hunting in the nearby mountains."

Lianzhen seemed a little surprised: "Going out? Who are you accompanying?"

"With Manager Tan and Deputy Manager Ran accompanying you, and a large number of iron guards accompanying you, master can rest assured that there will be no problems." Gao Xian clasped his hands and said tentatively: "Master called the slave over at this time, but Is there something urgent?"

Lian Zhen pursed her lips, raised her jade wrist, and poured herself another bowl of tea. Fang said slowly, "There is exactly one thing I want to ask Manager Gao for help."

Gao Xian hurriedly knelt down: "If you have anything to say, you can just tell the master, but don't discourage the servant."

Lian Zhen said: "The maid named Lu Ying next to the Empress Dowager..." At this point, Gao Xian paused intentionally or unintentionally, Gao Xian was shocked, Lian Zhen glanced at him, and continued as if nothing had happened: "She is Where are you from? What origin?"

"This..." Gao Xian thought about it, and replied, "Lu Ying is originally from Youzhou, and her father is a small official in Zhuquan County. Why did the master ask her?"

"Since this is the case, it will be much easier." Lian Zhen said: "You should send someone to send her back to her family in Zhuquan County. From now on, she is free."

Gao Xian was dumbfounded: "Master, this..."

Lian Zhen said: "What? Are you unwilling to obey orders?"

Gao Xian lowered his head: "It's not that the slave is unwilling to obey the order. Lu Ying is the Queen Mother's personal servant girl. I can't be the master in this matter. Please forgive me."

"You can't be in charge? Then who brought her from Danyang Palace to the Queen Mother?" Lian Zhen sneered slightly, and gritted her teeth lightly: "You are really a good slave of your master!"

When Gao Xian heard this, he knew that the secret had been leaked, and there was no room for him to hide it. Although he was usually full of wit and adaptability, he had nothing to answer at this time, and his forehead was about to break out in sweat.

"Looking at you like this, you don't take me seriously at all?"

Gao Xian kowtowed and said: "Please don't make it difficult for your slave, master."

"I make things difficult for you? Well, let's count it as me making things difficult for you." Lian Zhen's eyebrows were condensed: "Do you think that with Huo Binglun backing you up, I will really be able to help you in the future?"

Her tone was cold, with hints of threats mixed in. Gao Xian was in a dilemma. He could see the difference between Binglun and Luying. The strange thing is that they have been innocent so far. She really treats Lian. Well, no one knows better than him, the terrible thing is that they have already accomplished the affair of the moonlight night, and have a physical relationship.Logically speaking, Lianzhen should be more important in her heart, but Binglun's temperament has always been unpredictable, no matter what, he didn't dare to risk losing his head and drive Lu Ying out of the palace!

Lian Zhen seemed to know that he was hesitating in his heart, and said again: "You send her away. When Huo Binglun asks, you tell her the truth. It's my intention. If she wants to kill or scrape, I will bear it alone. No matter what, I will Keep you safe." With a sneer, he emphasized his tone: "You have to be clear, what I'm telling you now has nothing to do with your master, remember, it's you, not anyone else, you have to be between me and that person today. There is a choice between the court ladies, either send her out of the palace, or offend me, you have to weigh it yourself!"

In the evening, the ice wheel came back from hunting and returned to the bedroom. The maidservant had prepared fragrant soup and towels. She waved her hand to order everyone to retreat. She took off her military uniform. After taking a bath, she changed into a half-new moon color In the brocade robe, Fang felt a little refreshed. He walked outside and sat down on the throne in front of the royal case. Gao Xian was full of uneasiness, and lowered his head and eyebrows to offer a cup of Longtuan tea. Binglun took a sip and said: " Let them pass the meal."

"Yes."

Gao Xian was about to order the eunuchs in the palace guarding outside, Bing Lun suddenly said: "Wait, why don't you see Lu Ying?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Lu Ying... Lu Ying has already been sent out of the palace."

Binglun was startled: "Sent out of the palace? What do you mean?"

Gao Xian's knees softened, and he knelt on the ground with a "plop": "This servant deserves to die, I beg the queen mother to spare me!"

Binglun's face darkened: "If you hesitate like this again, I will fulfill you immediately!"

Gao Xian was terrified and kowtowed again and again: "Master Chen asked the slave to send her away." With a mournful face, he said, "Master Chen...Master Chen came to the Queen Mother's bedroom, and the slave wanted to send her away." Go in and report, the master said it was an appointment with the Queen Mother, so he went in by himself."

Binglun was stunned for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he was furious again: "You just told me now?!"

Gao Xian was so frightened that his muscles and bones became weak, and after a long time, Binglun snorted softly: "She told you to send Lu Ying away, so you just obediently obeyed and sent her away?"

Gao Xian fell on the ground, not daring to answer, "You are getting bolder and bolder now." Binglun's heart became more impetuous, and suddenly she slapped the table with her palm, and said softly, "Useless things, Get out of here quickly!"

If Gao Xian met an amnesty, he rolled back and down, stepped over the threshold, his heart was beating, he touched his forehead, and stroked his chest. Look, although he had just narrowly escaped death, no matter what, he always made the right choice this time.
