I walked into the yard step by step, and the creaking sound seemed a little strange and even a little harsh in the suddenly quiet courtyard.

As soon as she saw it was me, a strange expression appeared on Nangong Lizhu's face, but she did not move immediately. Yang Jinqiao, who was beside her, also saw me. She was leisurely and leisurely from beginning to end. At this time, when she saw me, she was neither happy nor angry, but just stood there calmly.

I slowly walked up to the two of them, stood still, looked around, then leaned over and saluted: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, to the Imperial Concubine Ning."

Nangong Lizhu raised his hand stiffly.

Yang Jinqiao still didn't say anything.

I was quite generous. After all, this place is still "my place" for the time being, so I looked up at them and said frankly: "The two empresses are here, and they are in a farewell way. I hope to forgive my sins. I wonder what the two empresses have to give? If there is a need, you should go through fire and water."

When he heard this, Nangong Lizhu's face turned even more ugly.

Ruizhu behind her was the first one to calm down, walked over and pointed at me and said, "Miss Yan, is this your way of hospitality? Today, the imperial concubine came to visit Princess Miaoyan with kindness. The people in your room are polite, and they don't even let the door in. Some people-" She said, looking at Yang Jinqiao with sharp eyes: "I don't know the etiquette in this palace, and I can even do things that are outrageous!"

"What did you say? Urgent?"

As soon as she said this, Yang Jinqiao was tall and straight-faced palace maids jumped out and said, "Our Empress came to visit the little princess today. We came to the door first, so why should you? If you say it is the outspoken, Miss Yan came to talk to the two empresses. The empresses didn't speak. You were yelling here. Who was the outspoken? Who was the outspoken?!"

Her snatching her off suddenly turned Ruizhu's face off and pointed at her: "You, you--"

"What are you!"

"You are rude!"

"You are rude!"

They took the lead, and suddenly, the people on both sides started arguing again.

As a result, I also understood what happened. However, both empresses came over to "visit" Princess Miaoyan, one came first and the other arrived later, but the ones who arrived later should be advanced, because the status of the imperial concubine was different, and the other concubines were second only to the empress and the imperial concubine. Now Pei Yuanhao has not enthroned the imperial concubine. Even Nangong Lizhu is the leader of all the concubines. No wonder Ruizhu just opened her mouth and put a "passing" hat on the people of Ning Fei's side. She understood very clearly.

I looked at Yang Jinqiao, and she also looked at me. The people around me had already become quarrels, but she was faint, with a smile on her face, as if she was talking - see what she said.

And looking back at Nangong Lizhu...

If she had to say this time, she was really able to bear it. On the day of her promotion, Concubine Ning came to fight against her. Moreover, the people around Concubine Ning quarreled with her people in front of her, but Yang Jinqiao never spoke. She was actually at a disadvantage. However, she couldn't do anything to Yang Jinqiao. First, Yang Jinqiao also had an extraordinary background when she entered the palace. Pei Yuanhao took over the Yang family's business but enthroned the Yang family's daughter as concubine. Obviously, she clearly stated that the Yang family did not "fall out of favor", and of course she could not offend rashly; secondly, Yang Jinqiao was probably not as serious as her in the matter of promotion and exile. In this way, the two of them confronted each other, but she was shackled.

So, she kept silent, and Yang Jinqiao looked like she was waiting to watch the show. The more they quarreled, the more they became.

I looked at the scene in front of me with some disgust. I was never tired of the scenes of women in this palace fighting and even quarreling, and I didn't want to participate in it. I could hide, but today I couldn't hide, especially in the room across the door, Miaoyan was still resting.

And at this moment, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from behind.

"The emperor is here! The queen is here!"

When he heard this sound, it was the voice of Eunuch Yu, and the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides were silent. I turned around and saw Eunuch Yu running over hurriedly. When he saw us like this, he looked tired, sighed, and waited sideways at the gate of the yard.

Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing walked in together.

The people in the yard hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

Pei Yuanhao walked up to us and stood still, looked at Nangong Lizhu, then looked at Yang Jinqiao, frowned, "What's going on? Are you clamoring here?"

When Nangong Lizhu saw them coming, her face suddenly became a little stiff. At this moment, she hurriedly went forward and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal."

Pei Yuanhao's face was not very good-looking, but when he saw her coming, his face calmed down slightly. He turned around and saw Yang Jinqiao and I standing at the door, and looked at us again: "What's going on?"

I smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine is right, it's not a big deal. It's just that they are saying that the women of the people have no way of treating guests and do not understand the etiquette in the palace."

"Oh? What did you do?"

"The young ladies don't let them in."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them became quiet.

Everyone looked at me. For some reason, I felt like I was back to the New Year banquet. Everyone looked at me like this, looking at me ignorantly. Even, I seemed to hear a few people sneering below, afraid that they were waiting for me to suffer another bad luck.

But this time, I feel much more calm.

Pei Yuanhao's face was gloomy and he only looked at me: "Then why don't you let them in?"

I said lightly: "Because Miaoyan didn't sleep well last night and is resting now. I don't want anyone to go in and disturb her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruizhu next to him immediately said, "You are talking nonsense. You came in from outside just now, and we have been standing at the door for a while. How did you know that Princess Miaoyan is still sleeping!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I smiled slightly: "Mother and daughter are in love."

“…”

"A child may not know, but a mother has a heart that is on her children. If there is any danger or inappropriateness, the mother will protect her children as soon as possible."

“…”

Nangong Lizhu's face immediately twitched.

"Miss Ruizhu probably doesn't understand this yet. If you have a chance in the future, you will understand it."

After saying this, Ruizhu's face turned red.

After all, she is still an unmarried girl. Even though she has been struggling in this palace for so many years, she is incomparable to me, a woman who has married two times. She choked her in one sentence, and even Nangong Lizhu's face next to her turned pale.

I glanced at their master and servant indifferently.

Seeing me talking like this, Pei Yuanhao probably understood. He was silent for a while, and then said, "I have already said that Qingying has come to the palace to reunite with Miaoyan these days. Don't come and disturb me if you have nothing to do, why don't you listen?"

Although he spoke in a reproachful manner, his tone was still relatively gentle. Perhaps because Nangong Lizhu's face was too pale, he couldn't bear to sprinkle salt on her wounds anymore.

Nangong Lizhu was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "I, I just met the little princess that day, and I love it very much. Today I am happy to be promoted. I can't help myself. I want to come and visit the little princess. I..."

In the end, she seemed to be unable to talk anymore and lowered her head gently.

I looked at the corners of her red eyes and couldn't speak for a moment.

If I had heard Miaoyan from her before, calling her "mother" unconsciously, which made me angry and even felt hatred, I should have been very happy at this moment, but I was a little surprised and unbearable.

Is it because I can look at her red eyes so close for the first time, or can I feel the trembling around her, so can I know that the inhealthy wound is torn, bleeding, and burst out with heart-wrenching pain year after year?

That day, Miaoyan called her "mother". Was it the first time in her life that she was called a mother?

That's why she couldn't let go.

I was speechless for a moment and just stood there silently.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her, and there seemed to be an indescribable pain in his eyes.

After being silent for a while, someone finally spoke, but Chang Qing, who had been silent all the time, stepped forward and said, "It's fine if the imperial concubine is in love today, but the emperor's words must be respected. Besides, Princess Miaoyan is sick and so many people are clamoring at the door, which is really unconventional. If the princess is shocked and the illness is aggravated, then wouldn't it be our sin?"

When Pei Yuanhao heard this, he looked up at the door that was always closed, then looked back at Nangong Lizhu, then looked at Yang Jinqiao who had already walked over quietly and silently, and then said in a deep voice: "The queen is right, you must be obedient."

"yes."

"yes."

"Then, let's all go apart, don't disturb the princess' rest here."

As she said that, Chang Qing nodded to Yang Jinqiao. Yang Jinqiao was the first to walk over and follow her. Then she looked at Pei Yuanhao again. Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment and said, "Empress, you go back first, I will see the little princess before leaving."

"Yes, I'm leaving."

Chang Qing bowed to him with her two concubines, and then turned around and walked out. Before leaving, Nangong Lizhu turned around and looked back reluctantly. In the snow and ice surrounding her, her pale face almost blended with the snow scene, and only her slightly red eyes made her look particularly delicate and aggrieved.

I stood in the snow and watched them go away silently.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao came to me.

My heart, which had already been a little calm, was raised again at this moment. I looked up at him, and my fingers retracted back into my sleeves with a little coldness.

He looked at me silently, his eyes were deep and black, like a bottomless deep pool, emitting an indescribable chill and deep meaning.

I looked at him calmly.
