"Story of Yanxi Palace" White Moonlight

Twenty & Unmasked

The sky was as black as ink, but the moon was so clear that it illuminated the palace walls as white as snow.

Wei Yingning walked carefully at night with the lamp in hand, but she complained in her heart that Concubine Yu really picked a "good time".

The Shoukang Palace where Concubine Yu lives is in the opposite direction from the Forbidden City where her court ladies live. To get to Shoukang Palace, you have to pass through the imperial garden with dense bushes and steep rockery.

The imperial garden in the dark is no longer as beautiful and elegant as it was in the sunlight during the day. Although the shadows under the moonlight have a subtle beauty, in Wei Yingning's eyes, they cannot be appreciated.

Turning around the rockery, a tall and straight figure appeared in front of Wei Yingning's eyes. She was startled and turned around to leave.

The black shadow turned around, stepped forward quickly and grabbed Wei Yingning's wrist, and said, "Yingning, I'm Qingxi."

Hearing the familiar voice of her former lover, Wei Yingning turned around and said in surprise, "Qi Jia? Qingxi! Why are you here?"

Qingxi's eyes sparkled in the dark night, "Yingning, didn't you ask me to come here?"

Wei Yingning shook off Qingxi's hand, took two steps back, and asked vigilantly, "When did I call you here?"

"You..." Before Qi Jia Qingxi could finish speaking, the voices came from far to near. Not long after, a group of eunuchs and guards with lamps gathered in one place.

Qi Jia Qingxi dragged Wei Yingning to hide in the rockery early, covered Wei Yingning's mouth and whispered: "I will be unlucky if I see you."

Wei Yingning whimpered, but was restrained by Qi Jia? Qingxi's arms for a moment, and she couldn't do anything.

The group of people outside the rockery did not leave until the arrival of the master, who was Taifei Yu.

Concubine Yu looked around, pointed at the rockery and bushes, and said with certainty: "Search for Aijia, Aijia wants her to be so bold!!"

Qi Jia? Qingxi's hiding place was not very clever, and Wei Yingning was soon dragged out under the urging order of the guards.

Hailancha was on duty tonight. Hailancha raised the lantern to look at the guard's face, and exclaimed in surprise, "Qi Jia's guard?"

"Why are you two here?" Seeing Qi Jia Qingxi, Concubine Yu asked sternly with a smile on her face.

"See the empress dowager," Qi Jia? Qingxi looked into the eyes of Madam Hu next to Concubine Shangyu, and there was a tacit light in each other's eyes.

"Bold servant girl!" Hu Momo received Taifei Yu's eyes, stepped forward and scolded.

The tall woman beside Qi Jia Qingxi was still standing there, her fair face hidden in the dim light and shadow.

The woman bowed and said in a soft voice, "See Empress Dowager."

Concubine Yu smiled coldly, and said: "There was a thief in the Ai Family Palace. I wanted to investigate, but I didn't expect to find such a dirty thing!"

Although Hai Lancha's mind was clear, she could also hear the coldness and affirmation in Concubine Yu's words.He suddenly realized that everything about tracking down the thief was just an excuse for Concubine Yu.

Looking at the thin figure, Hai Lancha was thinking about what to say, Qi Jia? Qingxi had already rushed forward, knelt down in front of Concubine Yu, and begged: "I beg the concubine to be the master of the slave, it is Wei Yingning The seduced slave, invite the slave to a private meeting here."

Concubine Yu's benevolent eyes flashed fiercely, and she ordered to Hai Lancha: "Guard Sauron, don't take it down yet?"

Hai Lancha took a step forward and cupped his hands: "Toffee, wait a moment, let me ask him a few words."

Concubine Yu pursed her lips, with anger in her words, "Are you going to disobey Aijia's order?"

"I don't know, when will the concubine have the right to order the guards in the palace?" Just as Concubine Yu's voice fell, a clear voice like a warbler's cry sounded behind the group of people.

Everyone turned around, it was the queen's guard of honor, mighty and mighty.

"Slaves/servants join the empress, the empress is blessed and safe." Everyone should kneel down, and salute those who should, even Concubine Yu was forced to do a half salute.

In terms of age, she is the queen's concubine, and in terms of dignity, the queen is the queen of a country, the master of the harem who is second only to the queen mother, and the master of power in the harem, she is incomparable.

"Let's get back together." Rong Yin said in a kind tone, as he greeted everyone who sincerely saluted.

"Isn't the Concubine resting in Shoukang Palace? Why did she come to the Imperial Garden?" Rong Yin supported Mingyu's hand and walked slowly, but her eyes did not fall on Concubine Yu.

"The Ai family is looking for the person who stole the Shoukang Palace. Who would have discovered that the guard Qi Jia? Qingxi and the court lady Wei Yingning had a private meeting here, and they were arrested by the Ai family on the spot." Concubine Yu's tone was not good, but she still said confidently.

"I heard your denunciation just now," Rong Yin looked down at Qi Jia Qingxi who was still kneeling on the ground, the coercion on his body was unrelenting. "As a guard in the palace, you know that it is a serious crime to give and receive privately with the maid! Even if she seduces you, how dare you do this?"

"This..." Qi Jia? Qingxi was at a loss for words for a moment. He never expected that the queen would come here, but even if the incident happened suddenly, he quickly found a reason. "The slave has already reported to Prince He before, but the prince is recuperating in the mansion recently, so he turned to the empress dowager to help expose the true face of this girl."

"Hmph," Rong Yin snorted softly, "You said she seduced you, do you have evidence?"

"Yes," Qingxi nodded hastily, took out a piece of white silk from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands, "This is a love poem from Wei Yingning to the servant."

He paused for a moment and then said frankly: "The servant did have a good relationship with Wei Yingning before she entered the palace, but since she entered the palace, the servant has strictly abided by the palace rules, did not dare to cross the threshold, and has never been in contact with her again. "

"It's Wei Yingning who can't bear to be lonely and seduces the slave, and even uses the past to coerce the slave into giving her golden hairpins and silver ornaments. She is really greedy, and begs the queen to uphold justice for the slave." Qing Xi opened his tongue like a tongue, turning black and white.

Rongyin really believed that statement.

"Present it," Rong Yin lightly raised his hands, and handed them to Rong Yin's noble hands one by one.

Rong Yin unfolded the white silk like a moon, on which was written beautiful small script, upon closer inspection it was actually embroidered with ink thread, it was really a wonderful workmanship.

"The knowledge of the ancients is inexhaustible, and the young and the old are mature.

What is achieved on paper is always shallow, and I know that this matter must be done. "

Mingyu holds the lamp.Under the faint yellow light of bright candles, Rong Yin gently opened her vermilion lips and recited the poem.

At the end, he said, "It really is a good 'love poem'."

Mingyu listened, and actually laughed, the laughter was as clear and melodious as an oriole.

Hailancha secretly raised her head and took a look to see which court lady beside the queen was so presumptuous.What caught his eyes was a white and radiant face, starry eyes... everything that belonged to a young girl hit Hailancha, a young man's heart.

Hai Lancha forced herself to bow her head, and said in her heart: This girl is so bold and cute.

Rong Yin threw the silk in front of Qingxi, and said with a smile: "Are you here to play tricks on me?"

"..." Qingxi was still in astonishment. He picked up the silk and saw that it was the quatrain that Rongyin just read. He couldn't believe it, "Impossible! This is impossible!"

Concubine Yu's eyes also widened, she closed her eyes and said seriously: "Even though the love poems can be faked, the private meeting of these two people was witnessed by the Ai family, and everyone saw it with their own eyes."

Rong Yin felt it was even more funny, and said to Concubine Yu: "Is the concubine so sure? Believe in a guard's words so much? Do you know that your affirmation will ruin a girl's life?"

These words made Concubine Yu speechless, until Nanny Hu tugged her, Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Is the empress doing this to protect this court lady?"

"As the lord of the six palaces, I should set an example for the righteousness of the six palaces." Rong Yin's momentum was not at all inferior.Even if Concubine Yu has infiltrated the harem for decades, it can't compare to the natural dignity and dignity she has cultivated in the position of Empress Fujin for ten years.

"What if what Concubine Tai said is false?" Rong Yin asked Concubine Yu with a calm expression.

"You..." Concubine Yu was dumb again, she didn't expect that the queen would not give her face because of a little maid.

"If the concubine really commits an unjust punishment, she will be flouting the rules of the ancestors, disrupting the palace, and colluding with foreign ministers!" Rong Yin did not intend to let Concubine Yu go, and today she confronted her for sister Yingluo, and she was destined to be an enemy.

What's more, with what Concubine Yu did, this crime is not an exaggeration.

"When Huang Kao was alive, he repeatedly made clear the rules of the criminal law. I really don't know how disappointed Huang Kao was when he found out that Concubine Dowager was like this." Rong Yin kept on saying that he had placed the crime on Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu gritted her teeth, her face turned red, and she swore: "If the Ai family has wronged Wei Yingning, the Ai family will please go and plead guilty to the former emperor's mausoleum, and never set foot in the Forbidden City."

"Empress, don't be too complacent, keep talking about the late emperor, but don't chill the emperor's heart." Concubine Yu's eyes were cold.She has another enemy.

This oath cut off her retreat, and also made it impossible for Rong Yin to retreat.

The person who had been hiding in the dark seemed to be waiting for these words, and slowly, slowly, revealed her face to the light.
