For Huang

On the first day of the first lunar month, the old concubine of the Su family received a big gift from Su Yunzhi.

Old Dowager Su is used to going to bed early and getting up early.Even though there is a custom of vigil on New Year's Eve, she did not change her schedule on this day.

In the eyes of this wise woman from the Su family, she has been like this in her life, she seems to be very at ease, and can stand on the sidelines and watch the changing seasons in the palace leisurely.However, isn't she still going to be imprisoned in this palace until she dies?It doesn't matter what the future looks like.

Therefore, after one emperor died, another emperor died, and perhaps another emperor would die in the future, she was very calm.

So, after a year, another year, and one year after another, she was still very calm.

No matter what, Old Concubine Su will never lose herself!

Going to bed early and getting up early is good for health.The old concubine Su is a little younger than the two empress dowagers, and she is less than 40 years old now.Emperor Qianqing died early, which made her rise in seniority again, and the old concubine really called her old.However, thinking that Su Yunzhi, who is as young as Su Yunzhi, has become a concubine before the age of 20, it seems to be nothing.When Coke led people to Jing'an Palace, both Su Yunzhi and Gong Qing were probably still asleep on the bed.

"Where did your master go to mess around again? Just send you to pay me New Year's greetings?" Su Qing smiled lightly, her tone full of jokes.

In fact, Su Yunzhi had never been diligent during New Year's greetings in the past, and it was normal for her not to be here at this time.But Su Qing made a point at this moment, it was just because she knew the secrets of Huayang Palace and Zhaoyang Palace, she just wanted to make a joke.Isn't the one from the Gong family not up yet?Thinking of the little girl Gong Qing—of course the queen mother is just a little girl in front of the old concubine—Su Qing's smile became more meaningful.

Facing Su Qing's ridicule, Coke was not the person involved, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear anything.

Coke lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, presented the things in his hand to Su Qing, and said in a respectful tone: "This is sent by the servant and the master. The slave and the master said that if you don't like it, you have to return to the original gift." Take it back to her just as it is. But if you like it...it's yours."

Su Yunzhi's order was really rude.

Su Qing's eyes fell on the gift.There are two gifts in total, one is a neatly folded cloth, and the other is a bound manuscript.The cloth is ordinary cloth, not some rare material; the manuscript is Su Yunzhi's manuscript, not some precious ancient book.

But if this gift is really that simple, would Su Yunzhi be so stingy that she would take it back?

"She has such a big tone..." Su Qing cursed with a smile, a little doting in her tone.She has no children in her life, this is the path she chose, and she has never regretted it.However, Su Yunzhi's appearance did give her some warmth in this palace.

Su Qing thought that the manuscript was a scripture copied by Su Yunzhi himself.The scriptures are not precious, but if they were copied by Su Yunzhi himself, it would be very precious, after all, it contains Su Yunzhi's heart.At this time, there are more people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism, so everyone attaches great importance to these things.

Su Qing was more curious about what that piece of cloth was.At her age and status, and now she is in Jing'an Palace, Su Qing no longer needs to restrain her curiosity in front of people with higher status than she did before.So she took the cloth in her hand and shook it away.

This is an embroidery.

Su Yunzhi's embroidery skills are very good, although she is too lazy to do needlework, she would occasionally make a purse for Su Qing.

Su Qing stared at the needlework on the cloth for a long time before looking up at Coke.The smile on her face gradually disappeared, only showing a serious look.Then, she waved away the servants, leaving Coke alone, and asked, "If I guessed correctly, this seems to be a map?"

"It's a nautical chart," Coke said.

Su Qing was silent again, of course she knew what the nautical chart meant.Su Qing folded the cloth and put it aside, then picked up Su Yunzhi's manuscript with complicated emotions.As soon as the manuscript was opened, she read it immediately.She didn't seem to feel tired, and she seemed to have forgotten that Coke was still standing in front of her waiting to go to Huayang Palace to answer.She read page by page, as if she wanted to see every word in her eyes and keep it in her heart.

It wasn't until half of the book was finished that Su Qing closed the manuscript, saying: "I always felt that the world in the book was infinitely broad, but now I realize that I am still watching the sky from a well. Back then, I once read a book that said "The world outside the world" At that time, it was taken for granted that it was a strange talk of literati, just like those overseas fairy forests, it all came from people's imagination. Only now do I know that it is all real."

Coke said respectfully: "The slave's master has prepared twelve large ships..."

If Su Qing is willing to accept this gift from her little niece, then the nautical chart is hers, the manuscript is hers, and the twelve large ships are also hers.If Su Qing is unwilling... oh, how could Su Qing be unwilling?In this palace, the women who live the most wanton life are Su Yunzhi, Gong Qing and Su Qing. They have the talents of warp and latitude, so why are they willing to waste the rest of their lives in the inner house?Su Qing is really satisfied with this gift!

However, Su Qing had other considerations in his mind.

"My niece... Although she is a smart person, she is not like me at all. On the contrary, the one from the Gong family is more similar to my temperament. Yun Zhi is cold and hypocritical, but her heart is soft. Yes. I am alone, but my heart is hard." Su Qing said unhurriedly, "The one from the Gong family is probably harder-hearted than me. In that case, Yun Zhi is really willing to Give it all to me?"

Those who are too hard-hearted should not fall in love with them.

With such a cold heart, can Su Yunzhi really warm up Gong Qing?

"Yun Zhi has bet everything on her now, if she loses in the future... I'm afraid..."

If Su Yunzhi loses, it will be beyond redemption.

Su Qing knew herself well, so she also knew Gong Qing to a certain extent.

Since Gong Qing entered the palace, she has actually been watching with cold eyes.Gong Qing's ambition to usurp the throne was not hidden from her!

The little things between Su Yunzhi and Gong Qing were also noticed by Su Qing.Su Qing's thoughts are very interesting.She felt that Su Yunzhi, like her, was destined to stay in this palace for the rest of her life.In the eyes of many people, this is such an honorable thing.But in her view, this is actually a very sad thing.So, if Gong Qing can really make Su Yunzhi happy, then Su Qing doesn't mind the two of them having a good time.Anyway, even if Su Yunzhi really fell into it, and she was watching Gong Qing, she would never give Gong Qing a chance to hurt Su Yunzhi.

Su Qing also held a lot of cards in his hand.

If Gong Qing is really a person who puts interests first, then when these hole cards are brought out one by one, Gong Qing will definitely be tempted.Therefore, even if Gong Qing suddenly changed his mind someday, Su Qing could use this trick to make Gong Qing pretend to be honest in front of Su Yunzhi for the rest of his life!

And if Gong Qing is really untrustworthy, half a lifetime is enough for Su Yunzhi to see clearly what she is like.

All in all, in Su Qing's eyes, Su Yunzhi's performance at this time is nothing more than a period of passion in his youth.Smart young people tend to lose their due judgment on the word love.And Su Yunzhi is almost the child that Su Qing watched growing up, Su Qing will always help her pave the way.

Coke seemed to have anticipated Su Qing's worries in advance, or Su Yunzhi had figured out what Su Qing was thinking.She said very calmly: "The servant's master said that if the Empress Dowager really feels sorry for her in the future, she probably won't be able to kill the Empress Dowager, then we can only die together."

I cherish my life, but more I want your loyalty.Death is eternal loyalty.

Gong Qing and Su Yunzhi both know each other too well. Although their personalities are significantly different, their abilities are not bad either.

Therefore, if there was a day when the two had to be hostile, Su Yunzhi would definitely not be able to kill Gong Qing without making sure that she was safe.However, she can choose to die with Gong Qing.Does this sound a bit bad?Fortunately, they will not have that day.

Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.Her niece is so interesting, so interesting.

"I'll accept the gift first. However, I need to have a good talk with the queen mother of the Gong family." Su Qing finally said.

When Coke returned to Huayang Palace from Jing'an Palace, and walked to Zhaoyang Palace through the secret passage, Su Yunzhi and Gong Qing still didn't get up.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no need to go to court, work, worship ancestors, or meet wives and concubines, so it is rare for Gong Qing to have a day to sleep in.

Gong Qing already had a biological clock, and actually woke up when the time came.But she indulged herself and went back to sleep.As soon as she fell asleep, Su Yunzhi woke up first.It is true that Gong Qing never wronged Su Yunzhi, Su Yunzhi has always been in her arms, she always took the initiative to wrap her hands and feet around Gong Qing's body.Seeing that Gong Qing was still sleepy, Su Yunzhi was reluctant to move, and kept thinking about it while holding Gong Qing.

It seems that when I was in high school, Su Yunzhi once read a beautiful sentence in a book.

Every morning when I wake up, you and the sun are there, this is the life I want.

Even though Su Yunzhi had already started to doubt everything at that time, she couldn't help yearning for the stability in this world described in this sentence.

Su Yunzhi felt that at this moment, she had already touched this beauty.
