Your Majesty Cheng Huan

After Hongye sent Xiao He back to the East Palace, she didn't go back immediately to return to her command, but performed lightness kung fu, avoiding the sight of the palace guards and imperial guards, and came to Kunhe Palace.

There was a calming Buddha statue in Kunhe Palace. The Empress Dowager Qin sat behind the screen and stopped writing after finishing copying a book of Buddhist scriptures. She said casually, "Very good, you can step back." However, the people outside did not move for a long time.

She unhurriedly rolled out a roll of paper again, flattened it with a paperweight, then dipped the pen into the ink, and began to silently write Buddhist scriptures.While writing, she said, "Hongye, how long has it been since you entered the palace?"

Outside the screen, Hongye lowered her head and said, "No more, no less, exactly 20 years."

"Then how old are you this year?"

"25."

The Empress Dowager Qin thought for a while and said, "Oh...then you are two years younger than the emperor."

"Yes."

"When the Ai family bought you and brought you into the palace, you were only five years old, and at that time, the emperor was only seven years old. In a blink of an eye, 20 years have passed, and there are many newcomers in the Royal Forest Army, but do you know why only you can Stay with the emperor?"

Hong Ye boldly said: "The emperor...is a nostalgic person."

"That's right," said the Queen Mother, "but there is one more thing, you don't know, but the Ai family is very clear and clear. The emperor thinks that after you, no matter which group of imperial forest troops it is, there will be people from the Ai family He thinks that only you are the most loyal to him."

"Hongye is loyal to Great Xia, to the Empress Dowager, and to the Emperor."

"But he just guessed wrong." This motherly woman has the confidence to know her son like the back of her hand, "Hongye, you are a loyal child, but you must always remember that your master—in the end who is it!"

He Xiaowan was fined again because he accidentally stepped on a tile of Shaohua Palace while patrolling the palace, and the broken tile frightened the emperor's beloved concubine Zhenfei.

He Xiaowan was standing in the rain with a large tank of water on his shoulders. Zhang Yu, the former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and Lu Mingcong, the current commander, were standing on the porch, watching him not to be lazy, and chatting.

Although it has been a long time since he stepped down from the position of Commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Zhang Hu would still come back from time to time to have a look and exchange experience with Commander Lu about disciplining these rough kids.

"I went to see it yesterday. Although the woman from Shaohua Palace is also a beauty, she is reckless. In terms of appearance, temperament, talent, and learning, she is not half as good as Li Taifu..."

He Xiaowan listened attentively to the conversation here, his hands were unsteady, and more than half of the water in the tank suddenly dripped out, but it was quickly refilled by the heavy rain.

Lu Mingcong scolded him twice, told him to pay attention, and then turned around and continued: "Why does our emperor just like her? Could it be—— really like the new and dislike the old?"

Zhang Hu joked: "Since when have you become interested in the empress of the harem?"

"I don't care about them. It's just that for so many years, I haven't seen anyone who the emperor has been interested in. Mrs. Li came, I thought it was all right, but I didn't expect it to be the same, and now I'm pampering Concubine Zhen again." Lu Ming walked from the booth. .

Zhang Fu picked up the bottle and touched him lightly, then took a sip restrainedly, and said, "The emperor's mind, how can we as subordinates guess it?"

"You have been with the emperor for so long, and you don't know?"

Zhang Hu chuckled, and was about to pour more wine into his mouth, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, where is the red leaf?"

"Oh, I haven't come back yet." Lu Ming said casually.

"Haven't come back yet?" Zhang Hu stood up and looked at the rain curtain hanging outside the corridor.He Xiaowan could hardly lift it anymore, Zhang Hu flicked his finger on his knee, his legs softened and he knelt down in the rain, but the big vat above his head did not fall to the ground.

Hongye kicked the large tank full of water back to its original position, and then floated down into the corridor.

"Hey, thank you Hongye sister——"

"Is it enough time? You just threw the vat away?" Lu Mingcong wanted to reprimand He Xiaowan, but Zhang Hu hurriedly stopped him and said, "I did it. Look at the heavy rain today, it's almost enough." .”

Hongye walked up to the two of them and asked Lu Mingcong, "Hey - what happened to He Xiaowan?"

He Xiaowan answered by himself: "I trampled down the roof of the imperial palace."

"I slipped a tile and scared the lady of Shaohua Palace." Lu Mingcong said.

Hongye smiled very briefly, and didn't ask any more questions.At this moment, Zhang Hu asked her, "Why did you come back now?"

"The emperor asked me to send He'er back to the East Palace, so it was delayed for a while." She said casually.

Zhang Hu nodded, then suddenly looked at He Xiaowan, pointed at him and said, "Ming Cong, I want someone from you, okay?"

He Xiaowan looked blank, and Lu Ming smiled from hehe: "As long as you want, of course I will give it. He Xiaowan, from tomorrow on, you can follow Zhang Shiwei."
