I'm determined to be the dark moonlight

The chirping of sparrows is crisp and melodious, and the nine layers of deep palaces have become the foothills of deep valleys, echoing the soft chirping of birds.

Gong Beinu and Concubine Shu looked at each other, understood what was going on, and wanted to explain, but the Queen Mother made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, don't scare the birds."

The Empress Dowager stepped out of the palace gate with light steps, looking up at the empty blue sky in late autumn, without the shadow of birds.She frowned, followed the sound, and came to the door of the ear room. There was a bird chirping inside. After a while, the queen's smiling voice sounded: "This time, it's the kingfisher's call."

Wei Ying came out from behind the screen with a smile, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty guessed it right again."

The corners of the queen's mouth were raised slightly, as if she was back in her youth.She was born in a famous family in Shengjing, and her father was a great Confucianist in the world, so her family education should be very strict.

But at that time, she often slipped out with her friends, went to the streets to listen to books, fought wine in the towers, rode across the inclined bridge... It was a long time ago, and thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Wei Ying went back again, "Do you know the next bird lady?"

The queen showed a faint smile unknowingly, as if she had returned to the past.

The voice behind the screen was quick and clear: "Jiji, Jiji."

The queen listened for a while, and tentatively guessed: "Is it Dujuan?"

Wei Ying came out and shook her head, "No, this is—"

"It's the freckles."

Gong Beinu and Concubine Shu blinked, with blank faces.

Queen Mother:  …

I don't know why, but suddenly blurted out.

Gong Beinu asked suspiciously: "Aunt?"

The queen mother couldn't help but said again: "Coo coo is the cry of a pigeon."

Gong Beinu was silent, Aunt, did you activate your talent in some wonderful place?

Concubine Shu suddenly said: "Could it be as she said, everyone in our family is a ventriloquist with a rare skeleton?"

Gong Beinu: ...

The door opened with a creak, and the queen went out first. When she saw them, she was stunned for a moment, and then greeted them very politely.

Weiying also knelt on the ground to pay her respects.

The Queen Mother walked past her without telling her to get up, and sat on the couch, looking down at the girl on the ground.

The girl was wrapped in a red dress, the corners of her eyes were slightly sick, and her hair was half-up, hanging from her slender neck. She did not hide her weakness, but she was very pretty.

The queen mother looked at it for a while, then smiled slightly: "Bei Nu praised your exquisite ventriloquism, which is amazing. I thought it was because she had never seen the world, but now it seems that I have never seen the world. No wonder Your Majesty wants you You are his bird."

Weiying lowered her head and played dead in a low-key and modest way.

Seeing that she was punished to kneel by the queen mother, the queen felt anxious and unconsciously frowned.

The Empress Dowager asked again: "But as a concubine, why do you want to use these strange and obscene things?"

The girl on the ground suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning: "I'm reporting to the Queen Mother, this is Wei Ying's plan for the future."

The queen mother was puzzled and said, "Plan for the future?"

Weiying nodded, with a serious expression: "Skills are not overwhelming, learn a few more side jobs, so that even if I fall out of favor in the future, I can still make my sisters happy and earn a living."

Her expression was too serious, and the queen mother was so stumped that she didn't know what to say for a while.

Originally, I wanted to reprimand her for not doing a normal job, but looking at it now, I found that this young man was too prepared for a rainy day when he started preparing for a side job so early.It's just that everyone else was thinking about how to fight for the favor, but she started to prepare for falling out of favor.

This concubine has a problem with her mind.

The queen mother was silent for a long while, and then said: "You don't have to work so hard."

Gong Beinu sarcastically said: "If my sister falls out of favor in the future, don't worry, I will be the first to take care of your business."

Wei Ying's eyes lit up suddenly: "Great! Your empress is serious? Can you make a written proof?"

Gong Beinu:? ? ?

Why does this woman not feel humiliated, but so excited!Does she really want to develop a ventriloquist career in the deep palace?

Weiying: "When the time comes, I will ask the empress to shine a light on it, the empress is really a good person!"

Gong Beinu was silent again, after meeting Weiying, she often fell into a state of silence passively because she was not coquettish enough.

The queen mother couldn't stand it anymore, she took a sip of tea and said, "Get up."

Weiying bounced off the ground, found a stool to sit down, and rubbed her sore knee.Fortunately, she had been prepared for a long time, and when she was getting dressed, she specially asked Green Wax to make two knee pads, so that her knees were not crippled.

She raised her eyes, and once again looked at the famous Empress Dowager of the East Palace.

The Eastern Empress Dowager was a formidable beauty when she was young, she held the late emperor's heart firmly in the palm of her hand, which made the late emperor almost have no heirs, and the front and rear palaces were in a state of restlessness.Even though the years are old, the beauty is still beautiful.

The queen mother lowered her eyes, caressing the delicate porcelain cup, "I heard that Chuxiufang is haunted?"

Gong Beinu's face suddenly turned pale, and she looked at her aunt suspiciously, not knowing why she brought up this matter.

Weiying nodded, and sat obediently, looking soft and obedient.

Seeing her cover her lips and cough, the queen ordered the eunuch to bring over a bowl of rose water.

The rose dew was fragrant and sweet, and Weiying took a sip of it with a bowl in her hand. It was not easy for Gong Dou, and she had only had her first sip of water since early in the morning.Fortunately, when Concubine Xian was going out, she secretly gave her and Xiao Qianxue a red bean pancake, saying that she secretly ate it when she was hungry.

She just ate it wittily behind a screen!

Gong Douji: Then you are really a clever little ghost.

Weiying: Hey!

Seeing her drinking so deliciously, the others felt hungry.The beauty is particularly beautiful and delicious when eating. Gong Beinu rubbed his shriveled stomach and swallowed quietly: "Suck."

Queen Mother:  …

The queen mother asked the eunuch to bring some snacks, and the whole group ate together.

----

After coming down to court, the emperor reviewed the memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation as usual.

This is a part of Emperor Feng Qi's daily work. There are two stacks of memorials on the table, which are waist-high, making the little emperor's slender figure even more frail.

Yun Shao buried her head in criticizing the memorial, and was so angry that her brain ached, she pressed her fingers on her temples, and couldn't help cursing: "Son of a bitch, I'll kill these bastards sooner or later."

Fushou served a bowl of almond milk, and coaxed the emperor: "Your Majesty, let's eat something first."

Yun Shao patted the table: "A group of dogs who don't do business and only know how to bark!"

Fushou: "This bowl of almond milk will get cold if you don't eat it."

Yun Shao: "Slay the Nine Clans, no, the Ten Clans!"

Fu Shou was like coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, the ten clans are the ten clans, Your Majesty, eat something first."

Yun Shao felt comfortable, sitting on the dragon chair, drinking almond milk, thinking of something, "Today..."

Fushou raised his head blankly: "What is it today?"

Yun Shao blinked.

Fushou also blinked.

Yun Shao covered her lips and coughed twice, rubbed her sleeves to cover up, put down the almond milk, "Is there nothing you want to tell me today?"

Fushou thought about it for a long time, and thought again and again, "The day before yesterday there was an official who knelt outside Dongzhimen, saying that he would not withdraw the New Deal and refused to leave. Just now he passed out, and I have already ordered the guards to drag that lord home."

Yun Shao said displeasedly: "Who told you to talk about this?" Her thin white fingers touched the table irritably until they reached the almond dew, and the milky white almond dew was shaken slightly.

She asked again: "Is there really nothing wrong?"

The king's heart is unpredictable, Fushou thought about it for a long time, and a flash of light flashed in his mind, and said: "Early this morning, the queen took the concubines to pay her respects to the queen mother, but she was stopped outside the door. The queen mother didn't see them, only stayed Lady Ying and the queen are in the palace."

Yun Shao's complexion gradually darkened, he stood for a while, then raised his legs and walked out the door.

Fushou quickly ran over with the bowl in his hand, "Your Majesty, finish this bowl of almond milk first, you haven't eaten all day."

At the gate of the palace, the emperor turned around and looked at Fushou: "Which official dares to kneel at the gate to obstruct the New Deal in the future, there is no need to procrastinate." She frowned, smiled, and parted her thin lips lightly: "Just die with a stick."

Startled by the cold killing intent in her eyes, Fushou took a step back, and the almond milk almost fell out.

Yun Shao supported him: "Be careful."

Fu Shou put it in the bowl, his hands under the sleeves trembling slightly.

The child he raised has become a real emperor, but fortunately, he has enough respect and closeness to him.

Yun Shao waved his sleeves: "Go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and see... what the mother and queen are doing?"

In the car, Yun Shao propped her chin, closed her eyes and meditated, thinking of something, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Nine layers of palace gates, deep palace gates, can this warbler be kept shut?It's just... the queen mother made things difficult today, how would she respond?

When she came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Yun Shao's eyes became colder and colder, thinking that she would see poor Xiaoying kneeling on the ground, or being whipped and scolded miserably, but when she opened the door, she saw A few women sat at the table, enjoying hot pot together.

Yun Shao was stunned.

Suddenly I feel like an outsider.

And she thought that the miserable little Huangying was eating well with a bowl of rice, and her queen, who had always been dignified and reserved and as cold as the cold moon in the sky, picked up a chopstick and put meat in the Weiying's bowl.

emperor:? ? ?

The queen has never served her food!

She took a step back, closed the door and calmed down for a moment, trying to hypnotize that what she saw just now was an illusion.Then he pushed open the door again, and saw the queen showing a very gentle smile, turning her head to look at the little Huangying who was eating happily.

The emperor gasped.She and the queen married for political purposes, and they didn't have much friendship, but at least they had known each other for several years, and she had never seen the queen smile at her like this.

At the dinner table, Weiying squinted her eyes and gave the queen a bright smile.

Then she heard a soft "tsk", raised her eyes, and saw the dog emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe standing at the door with a very complicated expression.

Weiying: Damn it, why is the Dog Emperor here?I was so happy to eat that I didn't notice it!

Originally, I didn't eat hot pot at first, but the queen mother prepared some exquisite pastries, which couldn't fill my stomach at all.Weiying thinks this is not okay, it doesn't matter if she is hungry, but it is not good to starve her honorable empress dowager Shufei Jieyu.So under her flickering, it became what it is now.

Seeing the Son of Heaven, the Empress withdrew her chopsticks, with a guilty expression on her face, walked over and asked, "Is Your Majesty coming to eat too?"

Yun Shao frowned, being aroused by the scent coming towards her face, she was really hungry.

Weiying stuffed her with a clove of garlic: "Your Majesty, don't be restrained, come and eat, if you don't eat meat, you will be gone."

Immediately afterwards, the women abandoned the dog emperor, and began to eat hot pot and peel oranges in harmony. Yun Shao sat alone, staring at the garlic cloves in his hand, lost in thought.

Is this hinting at her?

Just squeeze garlic in, is she also an outsider?
