Hearing the sound of footsteps becoming clearer and clearer, the imperial concubine's heart skipped a beat. She hoped that the man would go away immediately to save her from the embarrassment of being caught, but she also faintly longed for the man to lift her up and let her Feel cherished.

She prostrated herself on the ground, the floor was swept very clean, and it was so clear and bright that her sweaty face and the approaching shadow were reflected.

She pushed back the hair hanging down in front of her so that she would not look so embarrassed.

She can see the reflection on the ground clearly, and people outside can use the reflection to see the movements of the people under the bed clearly.

The queen stood in front of the bed, the rustling movement of the shadow made her heart amused, the noble concubine actually hid under the bed because of her, it was really childish, that was fine, it was much better than leaving without saying a word like before.

She squatted down, stretched out her hand towards the person inside, and said with a light smile, "Still coming out?"

Under the dark bed, there suddenly appeared a hand with even flesh and bones, slender fingers, white and delicate, as if a light squeezed in from the darkness, it was so beautiful that it made one's heart tremble.

By coincidence, the imperial concubine grabbed the hand, but did not move.

My feet are numb and I can't move.

It's just that she was too embarrassed to say so, so she could only squat there, her fingertips hooking the hand outside.

The queen didn't know that the imperial concubine's feet were numb, she just thought it was Naqiao, she didn't feel annoyed, and said leisurely: "My sister thinks it's cool down there, and wants to invite me in?"

The imperial concubine looked around, feeling extremely cramped, she quickly refused, "No need, I will come out by myself."

Only then did the queen let go of her hand, and slowly pulled the man out.

Seeing the imperial concubine supporting her legs, her face was pale, she guessed that the other party had been squatting on the ground for a long time, and she was not feeling well, so she turned around and left the bedroom without asking any further questions.

After a while, the maid in charge came in with a basin of hot water, and handed the wrung hot towel to the queen.

The queen put a hot towel on the concubine's face for a while, and after taking it off, she found that her face was much rosier.

She took off the concubine's shoes and said, "Lie down for a while, I'll help you pinch them."

The imperial concubine was in a dazed state until she felt an itchy feeling at the base of her thigh, she stopped the hand from moving forward, and stammered, "No, I'm fine now. Thank you, sister."

"So fast?" The queen muttered softly, but her hands kept moving.

"No need, I'm so old, my legs and feet are naturally bad, my sister is so precious to make the two children laugh." The imperial concubine lightly kicked the queen with her toe, signaling the other party to stop.

When the queen heard the words, she really glanced back. The two children were looking at them for a moment, and then she stopped.

She is not afraid, and even hopes that everyone will know their relationship, but the imperial concubine is reserved and unwilling to lose face in front of her "son" and niece, so she has no choice but to do as the imperial concubine wishes.

The imperial concubine was still thinking about how to cover it up, but unexpectedly, Tang Yu and Chen Jia had already discovered something was wrong, but they were both of the same sex, so how could they stop others?

Especially for a noble concubine who has been someone else's substitute for half of her life, it is so rare to meet someone who will pamper her in the palm of her hand for the rest of her life.Tang Yi looked at the queen and felt that he should be able to accept it. As for character, let's investigate it first.

"Mother, where are you going?" Tang Yu saw that the queen did not wear a palace dress today, but a folk woman's attire, which was very suitable for an outing.

"The emperor really has sharp eyes, and he guessed it right away. Seeing the beautiful spring, I plan to go out for an outing in the palace, so as not to let down this good time." She patted the concubine's hand, raised her eyebrows and said: "Didn't my sister return to the palace earlier?" Did you promise me to go to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense and pray for the people in the northwest? Why did you sneak to the emperor?"

The imperial concubine instinctively wanted to deny it, but doing so would definitely refute the queen's face, so she nodded in agreement.

Thinking of what the queen said just now, she remembered her other purpose for coming to Ganquan Palace, and asked Tang Yu, "Your Majesty, I heard that there was a disaster in the northwest in spring? Is it serious? What are you going to do?"

"Who said this to mother?" Tang Yu's smile was a little weak. Although the imperial concubine is her biological mother, she is a harem woman and should not know about the affairs of the previous dynasty. But now the imperial concubine not only knows, but also comes to question She, this kind of feeling is not good.

She is the emperor, so naturally she doesn't want others to judge her decision, and she doesn't want other people's nails to be planted in her bedroom, even though the other party wants to know her more and care about her.

She suppressed the weirdness in her heart, and replied evasively: "It must be that the people in my palace like to gossip, which only makes my mother worry. I will definitely punish them well later."

How did this become a palace official gossiping?They have to be dealt with, is the emperor implying that she should not take too much care?

They were also worried that the emperor had made omissions in handling political affairs when he first ascended the throne at a young age?Besides, she is her mother, is there anything wrong with her caring?

The imperial concubine muttered, and clearly wrote "I'm not happy, come and coax me".

Chen Jia looked between the mother and son, sighed, and was about to go up to appease Concubine Chen Gui, but was held down by Tang Yu, and pouted at the queen.

The queen wanted to reprimand Tang Yu just now, but now there is something she doesn't understand. Tang Yu was creating an opportunity for her, so she persuaded her in a low voice, and then raised the imperial concubine's mood a lot. He happily agreed to go to Xiangguo Temple.

When the two left Ganquan Palace, Tang Yu chased them out again.

The noble concubine was still thinking about what happened just now, and asked coldly: "What else is the emperor doing?"

"I want to ask my mother for a favor." She raised her head with a sincere expression on her face, and her eyes were full of requests.

The imperial concubine's heart suddenly softened, "You tell me, if I can help, I will help, if not." She turned her face to the queen, "There is also the queen dowager."

The queen was in a good mood when she heard this, and she leaned over and asked, "Your Majesty, just tell me, if you can help me, we mothers will definitely not refuse."

She hugged the imperial concubine's waist, and she really looked like a loving couple who cared about their children.

Tang Yi looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes suddenly felt a little sore, it seemed that she hadn't seen her biological mother being hugged like this for a long time.

In the past, when she returned to Beijing after winning a battle, her father would pretend to be very fond of her mother, even the way his father put his mother's shoulders was a little strange.

"Aren't you going to say it? Then let's go." The two people in front of me were a little impatient.

Only then did Tang Yi remember what he was going to talk about, "Mother, do you still remember the son of King Liang?"

Son of King Liang?Liang Wang is not married, how can he have children?

"Have you confirmed your identity?"

"It was Lian Dong who told me, and Director Wang also confirmed this." When she talked about this matter, her eyebrows were all twitched together, as if this matter was very difficult.

"Where is that kid now?"

"Horse Supervisor."

"What! Why didn't you kill him back then? Do you know what it means to cut grass and roots? Why keep him?" If it wasn't for the concubine Gu Ji who was still here, the queen would definitely jump up and slap Tang Yu hard.

Tang Yi sent an apology to the queen. Her previous actions were indeed inappropriate.

Although King Liang is dead, he has been lurking for many years, and his forces spread all over the country, and it is difficult to uproot him for a while. What these people are looking forward to now is to wait for the son of King Liang to grow up, and then come back together with them.

Tang Yi just wanted to keep Liang Wang's son as a bargaining chip.

In addition, she has other considerations. She and Chen Jia are both women, and they will not betray each other. They are destined to have no children in this life, and the throne of Daqi will still be passed on, so an heir is bound to be needed.

The son of King Liang is the only child in the clan.Can not kill.

But the queen doesn't know her real identity yet, so she will naturally feel that she is merciful, and the queen went to Xiangguo Temple and found out the clue, and she will get rid of the child for her, so she has to prepare the information about this matter first, so as not to cause trouble. No one inherits.

The imperial concubine also thought of Tang Yi's worries. Although it was difficult to explain, she immediately appeased the queen, and she calmed the queen with a smile.

"Then what are you talking about now?"

"Take him to Xiangguo Temple and let him worship the god monk as a disciple, but he cannot become a monk."

"Why is this? You want him to stay away from power disputes?" The queen's idea is also held by most people.

Tang Yi shook his head, "I want him to learn to be kind and let go of hatred."

"You told him his life experience?" The noble concubine hurriedly asked, "What if the child hates you? You are raising a tiger!"

Seeing the mother and daughter discussing endlessly, Chen Jia really didn't want to see Tang Yi continue to be in such a difficult situation, and stepped forward to explain: "Auntie, you are worrying too much. Although King Liang is guilty, the child is innocent. What can you know?

Aunt, do you really want to kill an innocent and lovely child? "

The noble concubine thought it was quite reasonable, she was also a mother, and she loved and cherished the child even more, but when she thought that the child belonged to King Liang and was the grandson of the woman he stood in for, he would even threaten him in the future. Seeing her own child, her loving heart stopped abruptly.

"No, Yi'er, you must listen to my sister and I, this child cannot be kept."

Tang Yi looked distressed, "Mother, don't you know the identity of the child?"

The noble concubine's eyes fell on the hands she held with Chen Jia, and she suddenly realized, but there was still a thorn in her heart, and she was unwilling to accept it.

"Auntie, even if the child grows up and learns outstanding skills, don't you think the emperor can't subdue a little thief?"

Chen Jia's words seemed to be a reassurance, and finally told the imperial concubine to stop worrying, and agreed to take the child to Xiangguo Temple.

Although she was already prepared in her heart, the imperial concubine couldn't help being surprised when she saw the child. The child's appearance was indeed similar to the emperor's. If she didn't know the origin of the child, she might have thought it was Tang Yi's son.

After the imperial concubine saw the child, the previous three-point reluctance became very willing, and immediately pulled the child into the carriage.

On the way, the empress and imperial concubine tested the child, but found that the child was innocent and didn't seem to harbor resentment, so they took it with them with peace of mind.

When the monk of Xiangguo Temple saw the child, he repeatedly called the child to have the roots of wisdom, and wanted to accept him as a closed disciple, and immediately prepared to shave or become a monk. Apprenticeship, did not enter Buddhism.

From then on, there is no son of Liang Wang in the world, only the little novice of Xiangguo Temple, Ming Kong.

After eating vegetarian food in the evening, the noble concubine was about to go to bed when she heard a knock on the door.

The mountains are quiet, the cicadas and insects are singing, and the evening wind is blowing, and the sparse shadows are reflected on the doors and windows, as charming as mountain ghosts.

She asked carefully, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

Queen!In the middle of the night, the frost is heavy and the dew is thick. What is she doing here?

The imperial concubine softly persuaded: "Sister, it's getting late, you can go back and settle down."

The figure outside didn't move, as if holding something, he stood outside shyly.

The imperial concubine blew out the candle, lay on the bed and looked at the shadow outside, she couldn't sleep no matter how hard she turned, so she simply went down and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind poured in, almost blowing out the candle in her hand, she pulled the person in, and immediately closed the door, feeling relieved again.

Under the bright candlelight, the queen was holding a box, standing in front of her aggrievedly, her hair was covered with water vapor, condensed into water droplets, and slid to her neck along the delicate outline.

She reached out and wiped it, and the coat was also a little moist.

She found a gray-brown jacket from the suitcase and handed it to the queen, "Sister, it's better to return the wet clothes first. It's the coldest night in this mountain, so be careful of catching cold."

The queen stuffed the box in her hand into the concubine's arms, and said angrily: "So my sister still cares about me. I saw you put out the candle just now, and thought my sister would lock me out overnight." The beautiful eyes flowed I even complained.

"How can there be? There are very few defenses here. I'm not worried about bad people." In Tang Yi's ascension to the throne, the queen contributed a lot, and the noble concubine would not neglect her too much on the bright side.

The queen groaned and hawed, barely exposing the matter.

"From now on, don't wear this gray and autumnal color anymore, we don't have to honor that person." She threw the gray-brown jacket aside, and found a rose-red gold-coated jacket in the suitcase again. son.

The noble concubine sat back on the bed with the box in her arms, staring at the dark patterns on it, thinking about what was in it that the queen cherished so much.

The figure on the ground swayed, and the graceful figure twisted, as enchanting as the spring breeze blowing through the willow branches, making people's throats and hair dry.

The noble concubine glanced at the teacup on the table, got up and went over, but was grabbed by the sleeve within two steps, "Where are you going? Why don't you look at me?"

She seemed to be extremely angry, her chest heaved and fluctuated, and the pair was full and ready to come out.

"I... I'm a little thirsty." The imperial concubine did not dare to look at the breathtakingly beautiful eyes of the woman in front of her, and pointed to the teacup on the table sideways, fearing that the imperial concubine would not believe her, she pointed to her own lips.

Little did they know that her actions were superfluous and pleased the queen.

"I'll pour it for you."

"No, no, no..." As soon as the words were spoken, the man went to the table and came back with tea.

The ice-cracked teacup has a bright and delicate shape, and the clear tea soup is contained in it. The glaze is like a blooming rose, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

"Why don't you drink? Do you want me to feed you?"

Hey you?Seeing the queen's expression, the noble concubine knew that this "hello" must be unusual, she immediately shook her head, but it was too late.

The queen bent her head and sniffed lightly, and put the rim of the cup to her lips, "I happen to be thirsty too."

Take a sip, the tea is soft and sweet, leaving a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks.

"Sure enough, it is a national temple. Even the tea soup here is so sweet. I think it was washed by the spiritual spring of the Bodhisattva."

The candlelight was flickering, and the light and shade were uncertain. At this time, the queen's bright face became much more gentle and beautiful, and the light in her eyes was not as aggressive as before, and her emotions were surging inside.

"I want to drink too." The imperial concubine stared blankly at the queen, expressing her simplest and most true thoughts like a baby.

"it is good."

The queen lowered her head again and drank the water in the teacup in one gulp, then leaned over and poured the sweet juice into the mouth of the person in front of her. While in a trance, she picked up the person in her arms and walked towards the bed, placed it on the bed, and poured the red The curtains were removed to conceal the beauty inside.

In the early morning of the next day, the fragrance of the soil was sent into the imperial concubine's breath along the morning breeze. She raised her heavy eyelids and glanced at the pillow.

Sure enough, she was dreaming again, her heart felt relieved for a while, but she was also a little disappointed.

It's just that when I got up, I felt a stabbing pain in my lower body, and there seemed to be something strange between my legs.

Did it really happen last night?

She rolled up her sleeves, and there were no bruises on her white and delicate skin, and she was never as ravaged as in her dream.

Seemingly dissatisfied and vented, she took a bite on this and that wrist, but when she touched her small tongue, she smelled a burst of fragrance on her arm.The faint herbal smell is like some kind of palace secret medicine.

The door of the meditation room was opened by someone, who walked towards her in the morning light with a bouquet of lavender broken rice flowers.

"you're awake."

"Ah."

They have reached the pinnacle of power, and they have nothing to ask for glory and wealth, but a greeting from the person they like when they wake up in the morning is enough.

***

Xiangguo Temple was built on a mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital, and it took ten days to go back and forth. In addition, the mountain road was steep and slippery due to the continuous spring rain.

In the Great Qi Dynasty Hall, the prime minister restrained all the officials, and there was no interference from idle people in the harem. Tang Yi and Chen Jia lived a peaceful and beautiful life during this period.
