Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

In the Cining Palace.

Aunt Guan held up the three volumes of scriptures and showed them to the Queen Mother.

A surge of blood came up again.
The Queen Mother almost retched.

"Your Majesty, which cabinet should these three volumes of scripture be placed in?"

"Burn." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, unwilling to look at it again.

In the Cining Palace, thick smoke rose, and in the copper basin were the scriptures excerpted by Tian Lingyue.

The Queen Mother is a person who respects Buddhism, advocating kindness and avoiding bloody disasters.The Queen Mother really didn't like this bloody scripture.

"The Queen Mother accepted this scripture, which also saved Tian Xiunv's face." Aunt Guan beat the Queen Mother on the back: "It's just that Tian Xiunv may have mistaken her intention and thought that the Queen Mother would like it if she wrote the scriptures in blood."

"Although Ai Jia didn't like this scripture, and it didn't matter whether she was really thinking about Ai Jia or pretending to be thinking about Ai Jia, at the chrysanthemum banquet, she respectfully presented the scripture, and all the concubines in the harem were there, so Ai Jia just If you can speak well of her, otherwise which concubine will dare to be kind to the Ai family in the future?"

"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely true, but Tian Xiunu has stolen the limelight from Mr. Wei, otherwise it would be Mr. Wei who will be sleeping tonight."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Then I heard the Queen's voice: "Cough, cough, cough. I'm so choked. What's burning in the basin? It's so full of smoke."

Wei Zhaoning followed the queen silently, secretly covering his nose with a handkerchief.

Aunt Guan brought the fruit, and the queen sat far away and ate it.

Wei Zhaoning sat on the left side of the Queen Mother and handed a piece of fruit to the Queen Mother first.

The Queen Mother took the fruit and ate it carefully. Seeing that Wei Zhaoning was silent, she said, "I have wronged you today."

"The Queen Mother knows that I am wronged, so I will not be wronged."

"You are such a sensible child. This time it was an accident. I thought it was you who was sleeping with me, but I never thought that Tian Xiunv would only live for a long time. You have such talent and you are the daughter of the Wei family, so it is natural that you can do it. "

"Thank you, Empress."

Changle Palace.

The maid went to inquire about the news, and sure enough she saw Tian Lingyue going to Taihe Palace.

"Even Du Changzai is stunned. This servant can really see that it is Tian Xiunu who has gone to bed."

"She does have some skills." Meng Yuzhu stabbed a piece of snack with a golden fork: "If such a person is used as your own, it will save me from offending others, and she can also be my right-hand man."

"But your Majesty, if she becomes ruthless and even attacks you, your Majesty, aren't you afraid that she will disobey discipline?"

"What are you afraid of? I know everything about her. Can she still escape from my grasp?"

Taihe Palace.

The emperor was a little lackluster.

If someone else is sleeping with you, the emperor can still handle it.

Tian Lingyue, the emperor didn't have a deep impression of her originally, but now that he saw the blood-stained words she wrote, the emperor had to look at her with admiration.

Tian Lingyue's goal was achieved.

She came to bed.

As if afraid that the emperor would regret it, Tian Lingyue began to take off her clothes as soon as she entered the bedroom.

She was dressed thinly and plainly. She first took off her high bun, took off the light blue chrysanthemums in her hair, and then began to unbutton her clothes.

The plain clothes with colorful decorations and silver silk buttons can be seen after unbuttoning one of them, and her snow-white neck can be seen.

She sat on the edge of the bed and undressed quietly.

The emperor walked to the other side of the screen: "Tian Lingyue, you don't have to be like this. Although you are the bed attendant, sometimes the bed attendant does not take off his clothes directly."

Tian Lingyue's hand stopped in mid-air.

After a while, Tian Lingyue then untied the silver buckle: "Your Majesty, the eunuch in the service room is still outside taking notes, and the teaching mother is also waiting outside. Wherever you serve me, you can change it. Please Your Majesty, don’t be angry.”

"I'm not angry."

"Then please rest in peace, Your Majesty. I will undress Your Majesty."

Through the screen, rustling sounds can be heard.

The emperor was afraid that Tian Lingyue would catch him and take off his clothes.

He really didn't want Tian Lingyue to sleep with him that night. He was also a human being, and he couldn't summon his concubines every day, so he had to have some time to rest.

The emperor is not a donkey of the production team who can keep grinding.

But Tian Lingyue is obviously a bit over the top, maybe it's a rare opportunity.

The emperor pressed against the screen and said: "Tian Xiunu, I didn't ask you to come here because... I want to tell you that you are filial to the Queen Mother. Tomorrow, I will make you Tian Promise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tian Lingyue shed tears.

"You are also tired from copying scriptures these days. You should go back and rest early tonight. Regarding the matter of Jin Feng, Gao Rang will go to Yongfu Hall to announce the decree tomorrow morning."

"Your Majesty, I have one more request."

"You said."

"Please, Your Majesty, allow the servants to move out of Yongfu Hall."

"Move out of Yongfu Hall?" The emperor was a little confused. Yongfu Hall has always been in harmony. The two people in Yongfu Hall and Tian Lingyue seemed to have a good relationship. Could it be that they had a falling out?
The emperor was so excited that he picked up his moon-colored woven gold-coloured shirt and sat down by the window: "Why do you want to move?"

"I want to be closer to the emperor. This is my selfish intention."

This statement sounds like a lie, and it is not true if you look closely.

Of course, few women in the palace dared to tell the truth to the emperor.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Where do you want to move to?"

"This slave wants to move to Changle Palace and live in a side hall of Changle Palace."

Changle Palace is the palace where Meng Yuzhu lives. Meng Yuzhu is arrogant and arrogant. A crow flying past the entrance of Changle Palace will be slapped twice because it has two wings, let alone the palace people. The people in the palace have no time to hide from Meng Yuzhu. , no one has ever asked to live in Changle Palace.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"My slave has thought about it."

Now that Tian Lingyue has thought about it, Meng Yuzhu's Changle Palace has several courtyards and there is room in the side hall, so let her move there.

Tian Lingyue knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. I will serve you here."

"No need, you're tired too, go back."

The record-keeping eunuch outside looked down at his bare notebook, feeling helpless.

The nun, who was very experienced in teaching, just knelt there and listened quietly.

Gao Rang held the fly whisk and yawned.

The eunuch in the Jingsi Room looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late.The color of the sky in the distance has long been blurred.

The wind has been blowing for more than an hour, and the weather is getting colder.

There are so many goose-yellow octagonal palace lanterns hanging far and near in the long corridor, each one swaying like duck egg yolk.

I don't know when, something cold floated down from the sky. Because it was dark, I couldn't see clearly. When I looked up at the goose-yellow palace lanterns, I realized that the north wind was carrying tiny snowflakes falling down, white, one by one, some. When attached to the palace lantern, it melted quickly. The palace lantern slowly became moist, and some fell on the bluestone floor tiles. Because of the thin snow, the snow flakes on the bluestone floor tiles had no time to accumulate and melted away quickly.The snowflakes that had fallen on the robe of the eunuch on watch more than ten feet away also melted, and a new layer of snowflakes fell.

The red walls and green tiles, the palace courtyard are deep, and it is especially quiet at night.

The snow came earlier this year, perhaps because the weather suddenly turned cold.

Gao Rang yawned again.

The eunuch in the respect room looked troubled: "The emperor seems to have fallen asleep. How should I record the files today?"

Aunt Jiaoyin said gently: "It is normal for the emperor to fall asleep after talking to his concubines after being tired for a day."

Gao Rang nodded: "Mammy is right. Your Majesty has to review memorials and attend the chrysanthemum banquet, but it is not easy."

A few people whispered a few words, and then they heard the door of Taihe Palace open with a "squeak".

The aroma of avocado came out with the residual warmth of the charcoal fire.

Tian Lingyue, as pale as a chrysanthemum, walked out of the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Several people outside the hall were stunned.

It was getting late, and it was still snowing outside. The emperor had probably settled in the Taihe Palace. Why did Tian Lingyue come out again?
Gao Rang Guaijue said, "Tian Xiunv, it's snowing outside. Do you need anything?"

"I will guard the Emperor outside the palace tonight." Tian Lingyue had already left the palace, and the record-keeping eunuch and Grandma Jiaoyin left first.

Gao Rang guarded the door of Taihe Palace and stood respectfully in the shadow of the lamp.

The snow got heavier at night.

In less than half an hour, the small snow flakes turned into goose feathers, wrapped in the north wind, and fell one after another.Dense and cold.

The palace lanterns were soaked with moisture, snow began to accumulate on the bluestone floor tiles of the Taihe Palace, and snow also began to accumulate on the robes of the eunuchs standing more than ten feet away.

Tian Lingyue knelt down opposite Gao Rang without saying a word.

Eunuchs do not need to kneel during vigil, they can just stand.

But Tian Lingyue knelt down directly, and Gao Rang did not dare to stand, so he could only kneel down on the cold bluestone floor tiles.

On a snowy night, the floor tiles were extremely cold.

Gao Rang, the eunuch who had served the emperor since he was a child, also gritted his teeth due to the cold.

Tian Lingyue, a weak woman, knelt upright and said nothing.

A night of snow.

At dawn the next day, no one had shoes or socks in the snow in Taihe Palace.

The maid who was sweeping the dust began to sweep away the snow, and another maid came into the palace to add charcoal to the fire.

Tian Lingyue's lips turned white from the cold and she almost fainted.

"Little Master, this -" Gao Rang was a little embarrassed: "Just wait, I will go in and give you a message."

"No need, thank you Eunuch Gao for your kindness, I'm going back first." Tian Lingyue stood up holding the pillar, calmed down, and walked down the steps.

In the Palace of Taihe, Gao Rang carefully buttoned the emperor's clothes.

The red radish charcoal in the purple-gold carved stove was burning vigorously, and the room was steaming. The maid opened the two east windows and added some avocado fragrance.

The dense aroma suppresses the snowy air outside.

The outside of the room was already covered in silver.

Looking through the two open windows, the palace outside was already completely white.

Gao Rang tied the buttons for the emperor and tied the sachet for the emperor.

The emperor straightened his sleeves and said, "Who are you talking to when you wake up in the morning? It seems to be a woman."

"My servant is talking to Master Tian."

"Which little master Tian?"

"Tian Xiu Nu of Yongfu Hall."

The emperor was a little surprised. Tian Lingyue was obviously asked to go back to Yongfu Palace last night. Didn't she go back?

"She stayed outside the palace all night?"

"Yes. Little Master Tian knelt outside the palace all night. She didn't go back until the emperor woke up in the morning."

this woman.

The emperor suddenly couldn't see through it.

At the chrysanthemum banquet, she won the favor of the Queen Mother, saved the country through a curve, and successfully entered the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

Although the emperor didn't say anything on the surface, he didn't like women who were too eager for quick success.On the surface, Tian Lingyue was filial to the Queen Mother, just to impress the Emperor and build a bridge for her to get closer to the Emperor.

The emperor complied with her wishes and prepared to reward her with the promised position.

This woman actually knelt outside the palace all night in the freezing cold.

First she cut her hands to copy scriptures, and then she knelt down all night on a snowy night. She was very cruel to herself.

For a moment, the emperor didn't know how to evaluate her.

"What do you think of Tian Lingyue?" the emperor asked Gao Rang.

Gao Rang actually had the same idea as the emperor.But he didn't dare to talk nonsense: "Your Majesty, I think Master Tian likes you very much."

I dare not talk nonsense, I can only talk nonsense.

The emperor sighed: "Do you think that's the case?"

"This slave is also just thinking blindly."

As they were talking, the Queen Mother came.

Usually the emperor goes to greet the queen mother early in the morning. It's snowing heavily today, but he didn't expect the queen mother to have to go so early.

The emperor hurriedly tidied up the Dong Nuan Pavilion and asked Gao Rang to bring the heater and place it at the Queen Mother's feet.

The Queen Mother gave Aunt Guan a wink, and Aunt Guan brought over the stewed ginger soup.

The Queen Mother was afraid that the Emperor would be cold and it would snow for the first time this year, so she specially ordered Aunt Guan to stew ginger soup, thinking that she would give the Emperor a bowl of it before he went to court in the morning to drive away the cold and warm his body.

The emperor opened the tureen, only to find that it was empty.I had to put the tureen back.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gao Rang quickly served tea to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't even look at it.

"The Queen Mother has worked hard all the way. Why bother to make this trip when there is such heavy snow."

The Queen Mother held the Buddha beads and said: "The Ai family is sitting on a shoulder carriage. What's the hindrance? Some people are pitiful."

"What did the Queen Mother mean?"

"On their way to the Taihe Palace just now, the Ai family met Tian Lingyue, who slept with her last night. After careful questioning, the Ai family found out that she had knelt outside the Taihe Palace all night. What mistake had she made, and the emperor punished her? After kneeling all night, could it be that she copied scriptures for the Ai family and left the emperor behind?"

It turned out that the Queen Mother met Tian Lingyue.

"Tian Xiunv made no mistake, it was all a misunderstanding."

"The Ai family looked at her very pitifully. After kneeling all night, her legs were weak. In such a cold day, her clothes were so thin, and her lips turned white from the cold. The Ai family couldn't stand it, so they gave the emperor the ginger soup as a reward. She drank, Jian'er, the late emperor has always ruled the world with mercy. At first, the late emperor liked you very much and often said that you were a tolerant person and had his style. How can you treat the palace people so harshly now? "

The Queen Mother lectures, and the Emperor only listens.

"If you don't speak, are you dissatisfied with what Aijia said?"

I always felt that something was wrong, as if Tian Lingyue had made a move and trapped the emperor. But at the moment, the emperor could only say: "Queen Mother, I surrender."

"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly get a sedan chair to carry Tian Xiunv back to Yongfu Palace for resettlement? Otherwise, in such a cold weather, she would move step by step and be seen by everyone in the palace, and she would not be allowed to talk about the emperor behind his back. mean."

The Queen Mother always thinks about the Emperor's reputation.

After hearing this, Gao Rang quickly drove the Feng Luan Chun En car and left the Taihe Palace to chase Tian Lingyue.

Tian Lingyue was still walking on the long corridor, one foot at a time, one foot at a time. There was no jewelry on her bun, and now it was covered with snow, as if she was wearing a head of white hair, with a light blue flower in her hair. The chrysanthemums were also dyed white.

It was still early, and the snow on the corridor had not yet been cleared. It seemed that the sky and the earth were filled with snow.

There were long and densely scurrying footprints.

Gao Rang personally lifted the car curtain and invited Tian Lingyue to sit in.

The snow is getting denser.

There were few pedestrians on the corridor, and even the red wall outside was blurred through the gauze curtain.

Tian Lingyue sat on the sedan chair and said softly: "Eunuch Gao, thank you for your hard work."

"Slaves don't have to work hard."

"Did the emperor ask you to take me back to Yongfu Palace?"

"Yes."

A smile flashed across Tian Lingyue's face. Perhaps she was afraid of being seen. She took out her handkerchief and pretended to brush the snow off her face.

The palace walls are towering.

The carriage is driven slowly.

Layers of snow are falling down, and the weather is getting colder.

Emperor: I, the Emperor, did this because I feel aggrieved.
Queen Mother: Jane, what did you say?
