"I was so busy and confused that I forgot!" The empress remembered now, and then recalled what she said to the emperor just now, she couldn't help but feel a little thankful that the emperor had left, otherwise she really didn't know what to do. 【 】

"There are a lot of things to do next year. Madam, you are working hard every day. Take a break!" Chu Xia said with some distress.

"Well, I'll take a nap!" The queen was indeed sleepy.

In December, preparations will be made for the New Year. Although she does not need to handle all the big and small matters in the palace, she still has to intervene a lot.

She sent Nanny Cui and others to the Guangchu Department to see if the new clothes for the masters in the palace were in order.

Wei Ning'er followed Nanny Cui to the Guangchu Department, and the two of them carefully inspected the new clothes prepared for the masters, and then ordered Si Yiku to send these new clothes to the palaces as soon as possible. If the masters don't like it, It will be changed.

The two of them waited for about an hour in Guangchu Division before they came out.

"Nurse, you go back to the palace first, and the servants will go back later!" Wei Ning'er smiled at Cui Nurse.

"Ning'er, where are you going? You can't walk around in the palace without the master's order!" Cui Nanny looked at her with some anxiety and said.

"You don't have to worry, mama, this servant is going to Yanxi Palace to meet nobleman Lu, the last time the nobleman taught this servant to embroider purses, I haven't thanked you yet!" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Since you are Mrs. Lu Gui, let's go. Go early and come back early. You must not recruit the concubine Yi who offends Yanxi Palace!" Cui Mama urged.

"Your maidservant has written it down!" Wei Ning'er said and separated from Nanny Cui.

Yesterday, nobleman Lu ordered Yeying to come to Wei Ning'er, saying that he had something important to discuss, but Wei Ning'er thought it was a big deal, and only found out after going to Yanxi Palace, that nobleman Lu wanted to ask her to bring some things for her when she left the palace. back to the palace.

It's just that it's almost the end of the new year, and the palace is extremely busy, and Wei Ning'er can't go out of the palace, so she promised Mrs. Lu to buy it after the spring.

After leaving Yanxi Palace, Wei Ning'er saw that it was getting late, so she hurried to Changchun Palace, unexpectedly, she met the emperor in ordinary clothes not far from Yongshou Palace.

"Brother Huang, why are you here?" Wei Ning'er looked at the emperor in surprise.

"Wait for you!" The emperor laughed.

"Wait for me, why wait for me?" Wei Ning'er couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Long time no see, I want to talk to you!" The emperor laughed.

Wei Ning'er dragged him to a corner, then looked around, saw no one, and then said anxiously: "You are crazy, you are too courageous, even if you are the emperor's imperial guard, you can't If you walk around the inner palace at will, if you are caught, you will be beheaded!"

"Your Majesty is in Yongshou Palace right now, I'm here on order, so I'm not in the way!" the emperor said nonsense.

"Well, Brother Huang, it's getting late, I should go back to the palace, otherwise I will be upset if the princess can't find me!" Wei Ning'er looked up at the gray sky and said in a low voice.

"Go back, look at the day, it's going to snow again, it's cold outside!" the emperor laughed.

"Brother Huang, it's freezing cold, you'd better go to Yongshou Palace and watch it. Standing here is too cold, be careful not to get sick!" In Wei Ning'er's view, a slave should cherish his own body even more. Yes, otherwise it would not be easy to ask a doctor if you are sick, and you still have to be gracious from the master. If the master doesn't care, you will often die of illness.

A moment after Wei Ning'er left, Wu Shulai trotted to the emperor's side from the corner.

"Your Majesty, it's going to snow, it's time to go back to the palace!"

"Hmm..." The emperor nodded slightly.

Ever since he rescued Wei Ning'er in the Mulan paddock, he hadn't seen her for three months.

Originally, the emperor thought that a little court lady would forget in a short while, but the more she wanted to forget, the harder it was.

Today, after returning from the Queen's place to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Emperor suddenly wanted to see Wei Ning'er, so we met just now.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying that a slave should say or not?" Wu Shulai followed the emperor in a low voice.

"Speak!" The emperor said lightly.

"Yes, if the slave speaks nonsense, please forgive me!" Wu Shulai said cautiously.

"I forgive you for your innocence!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai thanked Encai and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has been with you for many years. To say something disrespectful, if your Majesty likes her, why don't you keep her by your side?"

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing: "I also want to keep her by my side, but..." The emperor paused slightly at this point: "I just can't bear it."

Wu Shulai didn't dare to say more, but he had a plan in his heart.

From the clues he found, it can be seen that Hu Shijie's enemies are extremely powerful, and it is difficult to take revenge only by relying on them.

The emperor is his master, and he always protects him, but he will not pamper him. It is unfeasible to place all hope on the emperor.

However, Wu Shulai saw the emperor's intentions for Wei Ning'er, and he took it into his heart. If... If one day Wei Ning'er becomes a concubine, she will be deeply favored by the emperor. In this way, relying on her relationship with Hu Shijie, revenge will be easy Much easier.

Thinking of this, Wu Shulai secretly made up his mind to make this happen.

The end of the year was approaching in a flash. On New Year's Eve, the emperor hosted a banquet for the royal family members in the palace. It was very lively. It was not until late at night that Wei Ning'er and Ruoyan accompanied the princess back to her bedroom. According to the usual practice, tonight It is to keep the year old.

The princess got tired of making noise, fell asleep when she returned to the bedroom, and fell asleep after half of the watch, the queen let her go, and told Wei Ning'er and the others to keep an eye on her.

During the New Year's Eve, heavy snow fell in the capital, and it didn't stop until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Concubine Xian is serving the Empress Dowager and reciting Buddhist scriptures with all her heart.

"Concubine Xian, don't always accompany me, an old woman. Today is the Lantern Festival, and Ai's family is afraid of the cold so they don't want to leave the Palace of Compassion and Peace. You should join in the fun and watch the lanterns!" The Queen Mother He took Concubine Xian's hand and smiled.

"Empress Dowager, ministers and concubines don't like to make noise, and concubines are clumsy and can't make beautiful lanterns. Instead of making all the sisters laugh at them, it's better to accompany the Bodhisattva!" Concubine Xian smiled and handed the stove to the queen mother to warm her hands.

"Aijia understands your thoughts, and Aijia has also seen them all these years. Concubine Xian, since you are already in this harem, you always think that you will end up with nothing in the end. Among other things, you should have your own children. Only then!" The Empress Dowager loved Concubine Xian from the bottom of her heart.

Everyone in the harem, the Empress Dowager cares about the Empress and Concubine Xian, only they are the daughter-in-laws she personally chooses, one is a concubine and the other is a concubine. The imperial concubine's arrogant and domineering temperament.

"Empress Dowager, my concubine is not blessed, so I dare not think about it. The concubine has served the emperor for ten years, but there has been no movement. I am afraid that I will not be able to have children like the concubine's sister!" Concubine Xian said sadly. .

"Nonsense... The imperial concubine is her own fault. You are different from her. You are in good health. The Ai family has consulted the imperial doctor. It's just that you never know how to invite favors. The emperor only comes to your palace once in a few months. How can you be happy?" Child?" The queen mother said softly, holding her hand.

"Empress Dowager, my concubine..."

"No need to say more, you are not in a hurry, Ai's family is also in a hurry, the emperor is in his prime, and the future is hard to tell, Ai's family still wants to have more grandchildren." The queen mother laughed.

"Yes, the concubine knows!" Concubine Xian felt a little uncomfortable.

"You, what can you do if you know, I'm afraid you will hide away when you see the emperor. This time, Aijia will make the decision for you. Today is fifteen, and the emperor is going to rest in the queen's palace. Let's do it tomorrow." , Aijia personally let the emperor go to your palace to accompany you!" The Queen Mother already had an idea.

"This, empress dowager, this is absolutely impossible!" Concubine Xian was a little anxious.

"Why not? It's settled. You can just wait for the emperor tomorrow with peace of mind. For the rest, the Ai family has their own ideas."

"Chenqie..." Concubine Xian still wanted to say something, but she had to give up.

If she wanted to live in the harem silently for the rest of her life, she wouldn't...she wasn't reconciled.

But it's not a good time to invite pets at this time, even if the queen mother helps her, it won't help her for a while, she has to rely on herself.

Now, she can't fight or win, she has to wait, wait for the best opportunity, the women in the palace, who can bear the loneliness, who can endure the misery, can have the last laugh, she Ulanara Shi Minruo, she must be the one who has the last laugh.

But since the queen mother has spoken, the emperor will come to her palace. Tomorrow... she must find a way to send the emperor away. Concubine Xian secretly made a decision.

Early the next morning, when the emperor went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager mentioned Concubine Xian.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has devoted herself to serving Ai's family recently, and has never shown herself in front of the Emperor. The Emperor has forgotten her!" The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor with dissatisfaction in her words.

"Emperor Niang, what you said is that I will go to see her today!" Concubine Xian has always been indifferent to the world in the emperor's heart, so he often can't remember her, but every time he thinks of Concubine Xian, the emperor feels very comfortable in his heart, The indifference of Concubine Xian can make people calm down.

……

"Whose brand did the emperor turn over today?" In Chengqian Palace, the imperial concubine was asking the great eunuch Feng Qingzhou beside her.

"Mistress Qi, it's Concubine Xian!" Feng Qingzhou said respectfully.

"She...it's strange, how could the emperor think of her!" The noble concubine frowned slightly.

"My servant heard that it was the empress dowager who mentioned it before the emperor!" Feng Qingzhou told the imperial concubine what he had inquired about.

"Empress Dowager..." The noble concubine's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she immediately said to Feng Qingzhou: "I have something important to do for you to do!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Feng Qingzhou responded immediately.

In the evening, the emperor went to Concubine Xian's Yikun Palace. Although Concubine Xian didn't want to serve him, she didn't dare to turn the emperor away.

Today, she also specially ordered the small kitchen to prepare many dishes that the emperor loves to eat.

"Your majesty, please try this dish, this concubine personally prepared it for the emperor!" Concubine Xian laughed.

"Hmm... Concubine Ai's craftsmanship is getting better and better!" The emperor smiled all over his face.

At this moment, the voice of the great eunuch Hai Sheng came to mind outside.

"Report to the emperor and empress, the empress dowager sent someone to give you wine!"

"Present!" The emperor said loudly.

"Yes..." Haisheng brought the wine in immediately.

Outside the sleeping hall, the eunuch Xiao Dezi muttered in a low voice: "The two eunuchs who delivered the wine just now, why do they look so strange!"
