Si Tian Guan

"Where's Concubine Yu?" The queen sat down on the Nuan Tiao, looked around, and asked, "Why didn't you come?"

Outside the door, someone from the palace hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Yu, Concubine Yu accidentally caught the wind and cold a few days ago, and her body has become even heavier these days. She was afraid that others would get sick, so she told you that she was sick the day before yesterday."

The queen heard Min Yue leaning over and said a few words before she smiled and said: "I only think about today, but I forgot about her leave. Since I'm sick, I should take a good rest, not to mention Lian Qingru today. Come out for a walk too, it's not good to spread the sickness."

Liu Qingru sat under her, still with a very faint smile: "Thank you for taking care of me. In the past, I also walked around, but it was inconvenient to go far, and I couldn't pay my respects to my mother often."

Her body was already showing its shape, and the top of the dress at her lower abdomen was rounded.

"It's your first time, so you should be more careful. The day of asking for peace will be long in the future, don't be in a hurry. Listen to the doctor's words more, and if you want anything, just tell me."

"Thank you madam."

Liu Qingru was about to owe her thanks, but was stopped by the queen.

"There is no need to be too polite." She took the stove and ordered: "Call someone in."

The eyes of all the concubines in the room were focused on the bead curtain that was shaking at the door.

After entering the palace gate, apart from seeing his own family members occasionally, he rarely had the opportunity to meet other men.

Years ago, they heard that the newly appointed Si Tian Guan was staying in the palace. With Wen Jieyu's lessons learned from the past, they never had the chance to meet people, at most they only saw a glimpse from a distance at the palace banquet.

People in the palace were full of chatter, and they dared not say anything publicly, but their private words had already traveled all over the palaces.

Needless to say about the emperor's favor and trust in Qu Sitian, those fast-talking little court ladies just chatted with each other with flushed faces.

——Qu Sitian stood on the toddler path for a while yesterday, he looked so good, how could he be so indifferent, and he could still smile at people, laughing... laughing so much that I was embarrassed to look at him.

——Have you seen Qu Sitian when he was having dinner? I don’t know when I will be able to go to Guanxing Pavilion next time.

——It’s not every day that you have the opportunity to serve meals, I’ve even seen Qu Sitian divination!Like a fairy, just take a look and you'll know.There are more gods than those pretending to be ghosts before!

——When can he look at me like that?

——Stop daydreaming, so what if you see it, and you still expect people to take a fancy to you, an ugly girl?

While giggling, some people curled their lips in disdain - it's just a lowly person, if it was in the past, would anyone be willing to take a second look at him?

Immediately, someone snapped back sharply - what's wrong with the cheap, apart from the masters, who in the palace is not a servant, why is he superior to others?

There is a new topic of conversation in the silent palace, and the ladies in all palaces have naturally heard of it.Ever since the emperor sent word that Qu Sitian would come to divination for them today, he couldn't hold back his curiosity to watch the excitement.

Not long after, footsteps came in from outside the door, the little eunuch responded softly outside the bead curtain, and then moved away, someone appeared from behind, bowed down, it was a young man with a long body appearance.

"Chen Qu and Shen Zhou have met all the ladies."

"Come in," the queen gave Liu Qingru a thoughtful look, and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for you. How do you look outside?"

The bead curtains parted to the two sides, Qu Chenzhou entered the Nuan Pavilion with his head slightly lowered, and knelt down again: "I have seen you all."

Most of the concubines in the seat were about the same age as the empress, but some were younger than Liu Qingru. When they saw the side face hidden by the sideburns, they covered their mouths and smiled.

The queen glanced over, seeing that those unseemly smiles were all suppressed, and then said slowly: "Pingshen."

Qu Chenzhou stood up and said in a soft voice: "I have given the emperor's dictation today to divination for your empresses. I have offended you so much. I hope you will forgive me."

"Since it is the emperor's oral order, there is no offense at all." The queen nodded to him: "Go forward."

This is not the first time she has seen Qu Chenzhou, it's just that she has never heard of the pair of monster pupils before, she is simply amazed by this face that makes people unable to take their eyes off.

But with today's sayings, at the moment of staring at someone, there is a kind of uneasiness in my heart. All the previous images appear under these eyes, and they are dragged from a dark corner to under the eyes of everyone. It will be revealed to the public in a moment.

Before her expression changed, Qu Chenzhou took a step back, and the palace servants came forward with pens, ink and trays, spreading flowers and grass.

The queen saw that he was dipping in the ink with his wrist hanging, and his writing was extremely steady, smooth and flowing, and he finished it in one go, and couldn't help but praised him: "Qu Sitian writes well, he looks like a member of a family."

Qu Chenzhou's hand kept on writing, and he responded indifferently: "Your Majesty praises you absurdly."

A moment later, a flower note was brought up, with two characters written on it——Fenghe.

It's just an ordinary auspicious word, but it fits the occasion.

The heavy stone in the queen's heart finally fell, and she smiled and said: "I heard from the emperor that Qu Sitian can know good and bad, why only use these two words to confuse me?"

"Go back to your mother," Qu Chenzhou stood in the same place with his hands down, and replied: "I dare not say that I can see the secrets of the sky, but I can only see some hexagrams with these eyes. Confused lady."

He was appointed and trusted by the emperor, and the empress didn't want to say much, so the palace servants led him to Concubine Liu Gui.

They looked at each other calmly, as if there was nothing between them.

Qu Chenzhou picked up the pen again, and this time there were a few more words on the grass paper - the sixth day of June, cloud cover the moon.

The queen sat close, cast a glance, and asked, "Qu Sitian, what does this hexagram mean?"

All eyes were on Liu Qingru, the hexagram was obviously meant for this fetus, and Yun Zheyue was not a pleasant word.

Others say it's okay, these words written by Qu Shenzhou always seem to have the smell of ignition | medicine.

Liu Qingru held the flower note, and smiled slightly: "It's a coincidence that the sixth day of June is a coincidence. The imperial doctor said that this child should have been born in June. Dare to ask Qu Sitian, but what do you say?"

"Excuse my ignorance," Qu Shenzhou bowed: "I only dare to divination, but not to interpret the divination. I also hope that the two empresses will forgive me."

"Don't you dare to explain the hexagram?" The queen seemed very interested in this, she sneered, and asked: "Qu Sitian also said the same to the emperor? This is not what I heard."

Qu Shenzhou arched his hands: "The emperor is generous and kind to his ministers, and he indulged his ministers without restraint, so he dared to try to guess. If the empress does not blame..."

The smile on the corner of the queen's mouth hadn't risen yet, and she heard him say again: "I beg your majesty to ask the emperor to give you an order, and I dare not shirk it."

These words were obviously using the emperor as a backer - if he wanted him to be obedient, he had to ask the emperor if he agreed.

But the fact is that Si Tianguan has always been the emperor's close servant and only obeys the orders of the emperor alone.

Not to mention whether he is really effective in divination, as long as he sits in this position, no one will dare to surpass the emperor and ask Si Tianguan to do something that should not be done.

The queen didn't expect that the punch seemed to be pierced into cotton, and the thoughtful eyes all around seemed to be watching a show, waiting for her to have another big fight with the emperor because of Qu Sitian, so she could only hold back her sulking.

She was about to wave her hand to let people continue, when she saw Liu Qingru shaking the flower paper.

"Qu Sitian's handwriting is pretty good, it looks familiar."

Compared with the queen, Liu Qingru's words attracted everyone's attention.

In this palace wall, if there was one person who could openly trouble Qu Sitian, it was Liu Qingru who was pregnant with a dragon son.

What's more, who doesn't know the quarrel between Qu Sitian and Liu Shizi.

Liu Qingru loves her brother dearly, and after getting such a hexagram, it is impossible to endure it silently.

Qu Chenzhou turned to Liu Qingru, lowered his eyebrows and looked down, with the same calmness as when he answered the queen: "Hui Niangniang, it was taught by the son."

"Chongming really cared enough for you," Liu Qingru smiled faintly, her brows were frosty: "It's also fortunate that Qu Sitian is young and articulate, so he can stand on the stage, and it's not shameful to take it out."

Qu Chenzhou's eyebrows flickered a few times, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your compliment."

"Thank me?" Liu Qingru said as if pointing him: "I am not the one who taught you. But our Chongming family is also young and ignorant, and we don't know that a person's appearance and conversation are far less important than his character, even if he is a lowly person. , You should also know the four characters of etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame."

There was silence in the room, even the queen smiled and did not interrupt.

Qu Chenzhou stood quietly for a while, the corners of his eyes seemed to be slightly red, he did not look at Liu Qingru, he just pursed his lips, and replied softly: "My son has taught me that I don't suffer from others, and I don't persuade others to be kind. Do you know that?"

All eyes were on him—the tone was gentle, but the meaning in the words was sharp and thorny. No one had dared to speak to Liu Qingru like this before.

Liu Qingru clenched her hands on the armrest, smiled with her lips curled up, stood up with the help of the palace servants, came to him, and pointed on his shoulder.

"Eloquent, well spoken."

She said her body was heavy, and now that the divination was over, she said goodbye and left.

Naturally, the queen would not stop her, and immediately sent someone to send Liu Qingru out of the house, she didn't know whether it was joy or worry.

Since Liu Qingru entered the palace, she has never encountered such a soft nail from anyone, and being said to have returned home without a feather made her feel a little happier.

But looking back, on the other side is Si Tianguan, who is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he doesn't get any benefit. Instead, he is worried all day long because of the past, which doesn't seem to be anything to be happy about.

Although Liu Qingru has left, the divination here will always continue.

Since Concubine Yu was not there, Concubine Ming's hexagrams were soon written on the flowers and grass paper, and the palace servants entrusted them to come over.

The peach leaves branches in March.

Concubine Ming only took one look, then covered her face with a veil, and sobbed uncontrollably.

The room became even quieter than before.

After the accident in Zuo Xiaoying, the fire burned all the way to King Qi.

It is said that Ren Rui's indiscriminate killing of innocents was ordered by the King of Qi. He even brought out Feng Yu, a former powerful general of the King of Qi, saying that the King of Qi had already relied on his military power to kill innocents indiscriminately, and the people were full of grievances.

It is said that after Liu Shizi obtained the testimony, he avoided suspicion for a while and handed over the members of Zuo Xiaoying to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Dali Temple Shaoqing Linghe personally interrogated.

Although no one knew what the testimonies handed in were said, it could be seen from the emperor's attitude that King Qi might lose his skin this time even if he didn't die.

No one knew what happened, and why the emperor was so angry.

Concubine Ming mobilized all the people to plead with the emperor, thinking about King Qi's loyalty, and to give King Qi a chance to reform, but she never got a clear answer from the emperor.

Now this plausible hexagram pierced through her insistence like a sharp sword.

King Mu Jingde of Qi was born in March, and his childhood nickname was Tao'er.

"Your Majesty... Qu Sitian..." Concubine Ming suddenly threw herself down from her seat, crying so hard that she couldn't speak: "I beg your Majesty..."

Qu Chenzhou was grabbed by the hem of his clothes by her, and saw the palace man pull away Concubine Ming's hand and help her up.

He took a few steps back, stood by the beaded curtain, silently watched the chaos in the room, and before being led out by the palace guards, he took another look at the empty seat next to Concubine Ming.

Concubine Yu did not come.

He walked down the corridor with the palace man who led the way, twirling his fingers in his sleeve, the wooden hairpin seemed to be still there, with the word "Ming" on one side and the word "Zhou" engraved on the other.

But when Bai Shiyan handed him the wooden hairpin, he had keenly noticed that this wooden hairpin was not the one given by Chongming before.

For a moment, I have mixed feelings, I don't know whether it is love or hate, bitterness or sweetness, I just feel that my chest is stuffy and I can't breathe.

Returning to the palace, everything in the past seems to have become blurred. The previous life seemed to have happened yesterday, but the two years of entanglement with Chongming in the other courtyard after rebirth seemed like a dream in his hopeless life.

Since he left Jinxi Academy and returned to the palace, Chongming often used this method to deliver letters to him. Those seemingly insignificant little things were all made by Chongming himself.

He could guess what was inside by weighing the hairpin. The broken wooden hairpin was thrown into the fire and destroyed, and the note hidden in the middle was written in familiar handwriting.

"The three blessings in Concubine Yu's palace are Zhou Huaishan, he told the whole truth. There is an urgent matter in the palace, please help my sister."

Although the news was unexpected, it was not impossible.

Bai Shiyan had told him earlier that Chongming had already remembered it, but to his horror, Chongming even knew about it.

If he speculates in this way, based on his understanding of King Huai, what happened after his death is ready to come out.

Not only that, Concubine Liu Gui's attack on him today must be Chongming's plea.Standing completely opposite the Liu family in the palace, it was Chongming who protected him.

But he has no turning back.

Regardless of that, they are all people from two worlds, with too much entanglement in love and hatred, love and hatred, they don't know how to turn around, and they don't know how to face others.

At the end of a corridor, just after passing through the moon cave gate, I saw two people walking towards him, talking and laughing, but when they met him face to face, there was no sound at all.

After a few months, they met unexpectedly, just a few steps away.

The author has something to say: a few words of nagging, the son is walking steadily in his career, he will not lose the chain, and he will not drag the boat down. The two people have failed each other, but they always have each other in their hearts, and they will not become one party kneeling In the mode of licking, Chongming will become gentle and tough, and will not let it down again. Shen Zhou’s desperate character who is rushing forward on his own has to worry about it. But I need to keep at least ten chapters of manuscripts, so when the manuscripts are not enough for daily updates, I will say in advance
