Shen Gong Ji

After heavy snowfall, it lasted for many days, and the whole palace was quiet, and everyone stayed in their palace lazily and didn't want to go out.This morning I opened the door and walked to the second floor to breathe fresh air. I found that the waterfall that crossed the eaves of the palace was frozen, like a silver glacier hanging on the cliff.You can still touch the crystal clear ice with your hands.

Qian Yi was dozing off on the table, Du Ruo quietly walked behind me and put a piece of clothing on me.His action was a bit like what a wife does, so I laughed softly.

Du Ruo looked at me inexplicably, not knowing why I started giggling all of a sudden.

"Du Ruo, you are so virtuous." I told him.

In the end, he actually said thank you to me, completely unaware that I was making fun of him.

I stopped teasing him, leaned on the railing and gazed at the entire Zihuan Garden in front of me.Bai Xue seems to have absorbed all the hustle and bustle in the world, and buried the blood in this gorgeous palace into a river of intrigue.It looks clean and nice.

"Cai Ren, Your Majesty hasn't come for a while. Aren't you worried?" Du Ruo suddenly asked.

It’s true that the little emperor hasn’t summoned me for a long time. It is said that Qiguo offered him several beauties, and one of them named Xiang Li was very favored. In these days, he stayed in Yuheng almost every night, even neglecting the government affairs.

The difference in treatment is too big. At the beginning, I stayed in the cold palace for two full months before seeing the light of day...

But what Du Ruo said was right, I wasn't in a hurry, I looked at Du Ruo with a smile, "I'll just tell you this, don't tell others."

Confused, he nodded.

"I said that there are so many people in the harem, but the little emperor actually doesn't love any of them, do you believe it or not?"

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he was about to retort, "This...how could it be?"

"Listen to me first." I turned around and faced him and leaned against the railing, seeing that all the palace people behind me were in the palace, and only Du Ruo was with me, so I felt relieved and continued, "Look Although the little emperor is sitting on the throne now, in fact his throne is not stable. How can he have time to think about the affection of these children? Now that the patriarchal authority of Huangya is in power, even his harem is ruled by noble sons. From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, Huang Yafu controls him, do you think he can feel at ease?"

Du Ruo thought about it, nodded slowly, but then said, "But Your Majesty has always favored Young Master Hui? Everyone says that His Majesty only has Young Master Hui in his heart."

I sneered and asked him, "You've been with him for so long, you should know him better than me. Do you think if he really likes Mr. Hui, would he care about other people?"

"How come..." Du Ruo seemed a little hard to believe my theory, but he couldn't find any evidence to refute it.

"So, no matter who he pets, I won't worry." I said this, but there was a faint pain in my heart, "Because he doesn't love anyone. We are all just being used by him. It's just his disguise."

Suddenly there was a burst of noise in the hall, and Qian Yi rushed out in a panic, "Cairen, Your Young Master is here!!!"

What! I was taken aback for a moment before I realized that the big shot was coming.It was too late to even change clothes, so I had to rush to the first floor to meet him.At this time Ouyang Qi had just walked in, Xieci was still closing his umbrella, and the rest of the palace servants were also helping him take off the white fox fur.Today Ouyang Qi was dressed more plainly than usual, she wore a moon white deep dress, and a purple gauze shirt embroidered with dark patterns on the outside, her eyebrows and eyes were not decorated, but she looked more elegant and handsome.

I hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "I didn't know that the young master came, so I was far away to welcome you. Please forgive me, young master."

"Yang Cairen doesn't need to be too polite." He looked relaxed and complacent, a little less dignified and strict that he usually saw, and looked around as he walked, "Your house is really clean, and I prefer this kind of house." Simple layout."

I didn't know what he was trying to do with his "surprise attack" this time, so I had no choice but to walk behind him and let him look around every room, and then even went up to the second floor.I thought to myself that he is here to familiarize himself with the terrain so that he can find someone to do me at night... The persecution paranoia was halfway through, but Ouyang Qi suddenly stopped, and I bumped into it...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." I hurriedly covered my nose and apologized...

Ouyang Qi had already turned around, her lips were bent into an arc, "It's not in the way, it didn't hurt, did it?"

I'll go...why is he suddenly so gentle...I quickly said, "No..."

But he still looked at me with a smile, his eyes fell on the jade pendant he gave me that was hanging on my waist, showing some satisfaction, and then he said again, "Why do you always look at me every time you see me?" You look trembling? Is this lord so scary?"

He said that, it seems that he wants to show his favor to me?I measured his mind, thinking that it would be inappropriate to continue to say some high-sounding words now. If I want to further establish a relationship with him, it is better to follow his will.

I don't know when the palace servants around me are waiting from a distance, maybe it's an order from Xieci?That's fine, I can speak in a more casual tone, and try to speak with the attitude of your son.

"Yes... I'm a little nervous... Probably because I think you are too noble, I just came from a mountain... There must be some pressure..."

He chuckled twice, turned around and walked towards the balcony.When he saw the icy waterfall hanging on the side of the palace, he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Your Majesty really likes you very much. This palace has been empty for so long, so it's best to give it to you." He said flatly, unable to hear the implication, "Master Hui has liked these rooms for a long time."

That's the way it is, no wonder Mr. Hui has such a deep hatred for me.I think it's not just because the little emperor "spoiled me" for a while.

"Your Majesty is nothing more than a whim to your subjects." I stood behind him and looked at the seemingly endless palace, "Brought out of the mountains on a whim, it lasted two days on a whim, and I forgot about it after a while. .Maybe in a few days, Mr. Hui will ask him, this palace will still be his."

He turned to look at me, raised his brows slightly, "Although you usually look submissive and careful, you always do surprising things at critical moments. I thought you were a strange person, but I didn't expect It’s such a pessimistic thought.”

I smiled bitterly at him with the corners of my mouth pulled, "How could I be a strange person, a savage is almost the same."

He was amused by me, and his deep laugh sounded charming.After laughing a few times, he looked at the snow scene and sighed softly, "For us, what we can see in front of us is our whole world."

Yeah?Maybe for him, but not for me.

One day I will get out of here and go back to the life where I belong.

But of course I couldn't say that, so I didn't speak, but lowered my head slightly in a melancholy manner.

"Actually, our life is much simpler than that of people outside, isn't it? After all, the world is only so big. It's not impossible to make a name for yourself here."

"Of course it's nothing to someone of your status, noble son. A nobody like me can only ask for more blessings."

"That's not necessarily the case." He still looked into the distance, with an unfathomable smile in the corner of his mouth.

I watched him for a while, trying to figure out what he meant.Doesn't it necessarily refer to the first half of my sentence or the second half?If it is the first half of the sentence, it means that he is showing weakness to me and needs my help, but this is unlikely.After all, he holds the power in the harem, and the power of Huang Yafu in the ruling and opposition parties is enough to support him, so he really doesn't need to show weakness to me.If it is for the second half of the sentence, then he is implying that he is willing to provide me with some help?

But I dare not reveal my thoughts hastily. After all, he is showing favor to me now, as if he wants to help me. Who knows what he is thinking in his heart.

If he is like Guan Shangyi, wouldn't I be miserable?

I'd better take a step back, "I just want to be safe and sound."

"Peace?" With a slightly raised voice, he seemed to sneer lightly, "In this kind of place, if you don't have a high enough status, how can you be safe?"

As he said, he turned his head, his bottomless eyes caught my sight, "Have you forgotten your palace servant named Wenfeng?"

As soon as Wenfeng's name was mentioned, my chest throbbed like a conditioned reflex.I took a few deep breaths and tried my best to restore my complexion to normal, but I think he has probably seen my emotional fluctuations.

He suddenly took a few steps towards me. He was obviously about the same height as me, but it gave me a sense of oppression.I wanted to step back, but he stretched out a hand and gently lifted my chin, and those eyes stared hypnotically at my pupils.I felt as if I had been enchanted, and I couldn't move, so I could only stare at him blankly.

"Tell me, you don't want to avenge Wen Feng. You just want to be someone else's fish."

Of course I don't want to, I don't want to be bullied by others, and I don't want to be unable to protect the people around me.I want to live, live well, until the gate of chaos is reopened.

I pursed my lips tightly, and as if he saw what I was thinking, he raised one corner of his mouth and smiled charmingly, "That's right." He let go of me, gathered his clothes, As if nothing happened just now, he waved to me, "It's too cold here, let's go in. It's time for lunch."

I followed him a little ignorantly.He said that he wanted to have lunch with me, and asked the people from the Imperial Cuisine Department to deliver the meals for both of us together.He didn't talk during the meal, and I had to fidget and put something in my mouth.In fact, thanks to his blessing, I ate better than before, but because of my restlessness, I didn't taste anything at all...

After lunch, the palace servants served snacks and hot tea.He lifted the lid of the tea gracefully and took a sip, then suddenly said, "I heard that Huang Zeqian and Huang Xiuyuan's illness is getting more and more serious. The imperial doctor seems to say that he can't even survive this winter..."

His tone was regretful, but I knew that what he said meant something else.

Xiuyuan is one of the nine guests, at the same level as Xiuyi and Xiurong, slightly lower than Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, and Zhaoyuan, but higher than Chongyi, Chongrong and Chongyuan, which is considered a very high level in the harem .Huang Xiuyuan, who is currently in power, has been ill in bed in recent years due to his weak body. This illness, coupled with the wind and cold, is said to be more ominous than good.

It seems that the person is not dead yet, but your son has already set his sights on that seat.He needs someone of his to take that seat.

But I'm surprised that he chose me?Isn't Hong Ju better than me?

He saw that I was surprised, and his expression did not change. He just put his hand on his cheek lazily, "He is so pitiful. I went to visit him a few days ago, and he was so thin that he lost his shape. It looks like this It's been a few days."

His intentions are already obvious.Since others put such a great opportunity in front of me, why don't I give it a try? ?

If I can really become a cultivator, I can really gain a foothold in this palace.Only then did I have the capital to talk about revenge.

With Ouyang Qi's support, this is very possible!

I said to Du Ruo, "Go down and help me see if there are any unique pastries and so on, and help you choose some." Then I turned my head and said to your son, "I don't have anything good here to honor you, please. Don't blame me, son."

He also saw that my intention was to distract the people around me, so he also ordered the others to retreat and wait outside.

Only me and your son are left in the room.I stood up and lifted my robe to him, knelt down, and said, "Jun Tian is willing to listen to your master."

He smiled at me, and there was some incomprehensible determination in his smile.
