The song of the new female concubine is full of peach blossoms

Before seeing a sword fluttering red, Feng Suzhen realized that instead of asking a person from the rivers and lakes who has been wandering all year round, it is better to ask the person who experienced it back then.

After coming down to court, Feng Suzhen asked the emperor to meet some of the people on the burial list.The emperor didn't say much, just glanced at her lightly, and that was it.

There is no need to send someone to invite Tianxiang. Feng Suzhen went to the Tianxiang Hall to call Tianxiang along the palace road that she had to walk once a day. Tianxiang should also be very interested in that concubine Xiao. Otherwise, why did the emperor treat Yi? When there was doubt about Queen Hui's death, an unknown light flashed in Tianxiang's eyes.

As soon as she heard that she was going to ask Concubine Xiao face to face, Tianxiang jumped up from the soft pillow on the high bed, changed her clothes, didn't even eat the sweet soup that had been prepared, and dragged Feng Suzhen away in a hurry.

After being passed on by the little eunuch, the two walked into this mysterious woman who had always appeared in their words but had never seen it for the first time.

A woman over half a century old, wearing a moonlight gown, holding a comb, sitting behind a light gauze curtain and combing it slowly.The shadowy figure loomed indistinctly. If she hadn't known her age, she might have been regarded as a [-]-year-old girl, sitting alone doing her make-up, waiting quietly for the return of her beloved.

Feng Suzhen and Tianxiang looked at each other, and Feng Suzhen made a salute first, and said: "Your Majesty Feng Shaomin, I have seen Concubine Xiao."

The person in the curtain paused, then continued to comb his shiny black hair in an orderly manner.

Seeing no response, Tianxiang was about to speak, but was stopped by Feng Suzhen.The two stood there without making a sound, just waiting for the woman.

I don't know how long it took, Tianxiang held Feng Suzhen's hand and refused to let go, Feng Suzhen couldn't refuse, so she let Tianxiang hold her hand and played with it, and when there were interesting things to pass the time, it didn't feel like time was hard to bear.When the person in the curtain put down the comb, put all the hair on her chest behind her back, and slowly stood up from the soft cushion on the ground as if weak and boneless, Tian Xiang was annoyed for a moment why she didn't comb for a while.

All the servants in the hall retreated consciously after Concubine Xiao got up, as if Concubine Xiao had already given orders.

Opening the curtain and walking out, the well-maintained Xiaotai concubine was a little surprised when she saw Tianxiang, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes shrank, she repeated a soft smile, and asked in a gentle voice: "His Royal Highness is here, why didn't you inform me in advance?" Pass it on? If you have neglected Her Royal Highness, the servants will offend you."

The soft and soft voice made Tianxiang feel very familiar. After thinking about it in her heart, she realized that the voice was almost the same as that of her mother's queen.

"If I don't come here, how would I know that Concubine Xiao is so difficult to see and needs to wait for a long time." No matter how much friendship this woman has with her queen mother, as a princess, she must find some space for her son-in-law.

Concubine Xiao seemed not to have heard the objection in Tianxiang's words, walked to the side of the soft couch, and said to Tianxiang: "His Royal Highness, do you want to get on the couch to keep warm?"

"No need, it's fine for me and my son-in-law to sit on chairs." Tianxiang pulled Feng Suzhen to sit on the soft fur chair beside her, showing no respect for concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao, who sat on the couch by herself, picked up the teacup on the small table, took a sip of hot water, and said, "I don't know if you two honored guests have come to this cold palace of slaves, what can I advise you?" ?"

"The Nuanxiang Palace of Concubine Xiao can be called the Cold Palace, so I really don't know what the folks who don't cover their bodies and tiles from the rain count as?"

"His Royal Highness is joking. Those who are not clothed still have desires, and those who do not cover the rain still have visions. Although servants and maids have no worries about food and clothing, they have been like puppets for decades. And this empty hall, It's just an exquisite wooden box containing puppets." Taibi Xiao's eyes were calm, and the angle of the corners of her mouth raised remained unchanged, as if she had kept her facial expression unchanged for so many years.

"If a puppet has thoughts, Mrs. Xiao, do you think it wants to live or die?"

"Oh," Taipin Xiao stroked the end of her slender eyebrows with her little finger, "If I wanted to die more, I wouldn't have lived my life in a lifeless state."

"I heard that the princess' mother and queen were born in Liju, like the concubine, and entered the harem with the concubine as a dowry girl, is that true?" Feng Suzhen thought of her purpose in her heart, and interrupted the interaction between the two women test.

When Feng Suzhen spoke, Concubine Xiao was not so enthusiastic. In a blink of an eye, she picked up the teacup again, and fiddled with the lid calmly, without even bothering to lift her eyelids, "Yes, these old things, the son-in-law just inquired about them casually. can know."

Tianxiang was about to speak again, Feng Suzhen signaled no need for it with her eyes, and said to Concubine Xiao: "Empress Yihui was just a little personal maid by your side, but was favored by the late emperor who was still the prince at that time, and then she insisted on going her own way. Willing to establish a concubine. Although pressure from all quarters prevents her from becoming a concubine, she is the only concubine in the entire harem, and the dragon son born can respect her as a concubine mother. It is true that she has not been given a name. I don’t know how concubine Xiao thinks about it?"

"Didn't your Dacheng have a saying that is 'destined to meet thousands of miles away'? The late emperor and Shu Ran were destined. Even if they were in the royal family, they couldn't stop this love. What can slaves think? Of course it is a blessing."

"Empress Yihui was not as good as you in birth and appearance, let alone stunning when you think about it. As Liju's Princess Shunyi, you came to marry the prince in a proper way. Not to mention that you were not selected, and you will be inferior in the future. Shouldn't you be reconciled in your heart?" Feng Suzhen remained calm when Tianxiang pinched her secretly, she was telling the truth, being pinched by the princess instead of the queen, it wasn't too painful anyway.

Concubine Xiao raised her eyes to look at Feng Suzhen, and said with a light smile: "My son-in-law, do you want to say that this slave is jealous of Shu Ran? Jealous of her humble status but climbing to the head of a slave? Jealous of her being a little maid but getting a king of a country?" Chiai?"

"The queen mother wanted to commit suicide when she was a child in this palace." Tianxiang interrupted suddenly.

The hand holding the teacup shook for a while, Taibi Xiao put the cup back on the table, opened her mouth looking at Tianxiang, then sighed softly, her eyes were far away, as if looking at an unknown point through Tianxiang .

Concubine Xiao seemed to be recalling something, Feng Suzhen asked Tianxiang not to interrupt her memory, and the two of them just waited quietly for her to wake up from the distant memory.

"Come on, tell me the purpose of your visit first, and then I can decide whether to tell the story of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds or not." Xiaotai concubine finished her recollection with a more casual and lazy tone. He rested his hand on his chin, looking at the two people in front of him.

Feng Suzhen and Tianxiang exchanged glances, and decided to let Feng Suzhen say, "The emperor decided to bury the late emperor with a living person. Unfortunately, you were among them."

Just stunned for a moment, Xiao Taipin was not too surprised by this matter, after she was stunned, she nodded casually, and said: "Yang'er is still the same as when she was a child, no matter how long it has been, what she wants must be To succeed."

Feng Suzhen and Tianxiang were a little surprised by calling the current emperor by his name directly, and calling him so intimate, but they didn't plan to get entangled in this matter. Don't ask the emperor, why do you want to bury the late emperor together?"

"The reasons must be strange, Yang'er has been like this since he was a child. But, well, I'm still a little curious, besides wanting the wooden bird to fly into the sky, what other fantastic ideas does Yang'er have this time?"

Concubine Xiao's attitude was too weird, Feng Suzhen said cautiously: "The emperor suspects that you were responsible for Concubine Yihui's death back then, so the emperor wants to avenge Empress Yihui."

"Hey, this silly child..." Taipin Xiao sighed softly, rubbed the end of her eyebrows, looked at Tian Xiang, and asked her, "Where is Xiang'er? Does Xiang'er also suspect that I killed your mother?"

The sudden intimacy caught Tianxiang by surprise. In the memory of the two lifetimes, she had never had any contact with this reclusive woman. How could she have such a passionate conversation with herself?

"It seems that Xiang'er thinks so too." Without waiting for Tian Xiang's answer, Xiao Tai concubine said to herself, "Actually, it can also be said to have something to do with me. Back then, my father insisted on letting me put in the beautiful sentence." The assassin entered the palace originally intending to assassinate Yang'er, but he didn't expect that Xiang'er was naughty that day, wearing her brother's clothes to play around, which made the assassin misunderstand the person. Xiang'er accidentally fell into the lake."

Feng Suzhen stared, no wonder she searched and searched, but couldn't find out who was going to attack Tianxiang back then. It turned out that they were not from the palace. If the assassination failed, she immediately retreated. not come down.

Knowing the truth about how she fell into Yuqing Lake in her childhood did not make Tianxiang happy, she asked: "What happened to the queen mother was also your Liju's assassination?"

"How could it be? How could I let them hurt my little Shu Ran? I just told Shu Ran the monarch's firm will to kill Yang'er. I was just gloating. How about she got the highest position in the world? She got the highest position in the world. How about having the best husband in the world? So what if she gave birth to the most exquisite children in the world? Everything she got has to be returned by other means. This is the price. There is no clear price tag for anything in this world ? Did she think she would be spared?"

Looking at the woman in front of her who still maintains an elegant demeanor, her unmoved eyes gradually glowed with madness.

"Xiao Shuran has always been so gentle, so listen to me, I said that if we are in the palace for a day, the monarch will not give up the assassination of internal and external cooperation. She is from Ligu, and she must be loyal to the country that raised her! But Xiao Shuran also wants to protect her children and her husband, since loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, then sacrifice herself."

Tianxiang clenched her hands tightly, and Feng Suzhen gently covered her hands to comfort her.

"It's a pity that Xiang'er discovered it for the first time. When Xiao Shuran told me, the expression on her face was so proud. Her little daughter is so careful at such a young age, and she knows to protect her mother. If I With a daughter like Xiang'er, I might be more proud than her." Xiaotai concubine looked at Tian Xiang lovingly, "When you are quiet, you are especially like your queen mother, so well-behaved, so well-behaved that people want to hide you, I don't want anyone to see it."

"Concubine Xiao..."

"My son-in-law, I'm very envious of you being able to be with the princess. You have to treat Her Royal Highness the eldest princess well." After saying this, the concubine Xiao stood up, her long clothes dragging all over the floor, she turned around and walked towards the princess gracefully. The curtain walked, and he said as he walked, "The son-in-law told the emperor that it is not worth taking a few innocent lives for the humble life of a servant. If he still wants to trust the servant, please come here, and the servant will give him a satisfaction." statement."

"Hey, you..."

"Princess," Feng Suzhen held Tian Xiang, bowed to Concubine Xiao, and said, "Your Majesty will definitely bring the message to you."
