The beauty of the city: embroidered hibiscus on the river pillow

Chapter 214 Joint

The news of the Empress Dowager's birthday quickly covered up all the previous disturbances. People who were officials in the dynasty had no way to prepare to offer congratulatory gifts. The concubines of the harem, from the queen to the nobles and beautiful women, had made full face and prepared the program, intending to emerge at the family banquet, so as to please the Empress Dowager, and can also Take the opportunity to let the emperor remember himself.

Even the most favored people in the harem have been pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood. Now the emperor stays in the Qianxi Palace at night, which must be short and lonely. If they can take advantage of the opportunity to make the emperor fall infatuated with themselves, they will be ready to advance to the concubine in the future. If they want to be equalize with the woman surnamed Yu in the harem, it is not Impossible.

The Zihua Palace is still as quiet as usual, with occasional coughs. In the hall, Shulan stood in front of the desk to grind ink, and the woman in a peach pink palace costume is holding a pen to draw a begonia on white paper.

Xinyu came in from the outside with the bedding in her arms. On the Empress Dowager's birthday, the people in other palaces were going in and out. They were very busy. Even the cold palace moved back to the Anle Palace two days ago and ordered the palace people to do this and that. Only her master was still so scattered. Seeing that the Empress Dowager's birthday was approaching, she had not done anything. .

"Won, don't you feel tired after walking around for a day?"

Beauty Yu put down her pen and looked at Xinyu, who was tidying up the bedding in the hall. She knew her anxiety, but she did not break it.

She simply pounced on the bedding. All day, her little mother finally opened her mouth. How could she let it go?

"Empress Dowager's birthday, even if you don't like it, you should always show it. It's better to do superficial work than to let the Empress Dowager of other palaces show off at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."

"What's going on on the queen's side?"

Yu Meiren did not answer Xinyu's words directly, but changed the topic.

"There doesn't seem to be any movement in the queen's place, but now the queen is the Empress Dowager's heart, and she will not send anything that can't be on the table."

It's their mother. Without the backer of the Youcheng Mansion, you can't let the Empress Dowager or the emperor take action.

"What about the concubine?"

Beauty Yu continued to ask, and Xinyu had to answer: "The concubine is very busy. Her father is the first powerful minister in the dynasty. How can't he bring out something decent? But even if she takes it out, it won't be of use. The emperor and the empress dowager don't like her. What can she do if she is in the limelight?"

Really, that's what everyone thought. Beauty Yu lowered her eyes and smiled, held the pen again, and added a few dark colors to the begonia.

"Mother, why don't you pay attention to what I said at all?"

Xinyu couldn't help complaining. Yu Meiren looked up at Shulan and smiled slowly and said, "Shulan, you go to Shuwei Palace to invite Wan's concubine, and say that I remember some of my childhood feelings and want to talk about the old feelings with her."

Shulan put down the work in her hand and walked out of the hall.

After a wave of calming, a wave of rising, Xinyu stamped her feet in a hurry and hurried out of the inner hall. She didn't care about any superiority or inferiority. She complained, "What are you doing? That concubine is so jealous that you are tight. You don't want to move, but you want to recruit the plague god. Do you really want to stir up the Zihua Palace?"

Where did Lu Wan Wan think that Shulan would suddenly come? As soon as he stood firm, he was immediately scared and turned pale: "Come on, someone wants to hurt me, come on."

"Who dares to kill his sister in the Zihua Palace in this palace?"

Beauty Yu made a joke. Lu Wanwan's face was already blue, but she forced herself to calm down. At this time, she was already here. Even if she broke her throat, if something really happened, she couldn't stop it and had to look at Beauty Yu.

"The purpose of calling me is not to frame me like concubine Yun, is it?"

"How could my sister expect that Yun Guicubine was framed by me? The Empress Dowager hasn't already said that it was Yun Guicubine who wanted to play a prank on me."

"How is that possible?" Lu Wanwan denied: "Sister Yun has always been careful and can't tolerate any negligence. How can she poison the cakes she sent? If the Empress Dowager likes you so much, she must help you. Even the emperor favors you. Now if you want to harm me, I must have nothing to do, but don't forget that you , my father won't let you go."

"Does this palace have such a pediatrics?" Beauty Yu brushed her sleeves and sneered: "If I want to hurt you, how can I let you do it seamlessly in full view of the public? Moreover, is there anyone stupid enough to do the same thing twice? Don't worry, I called you this time to resolve our sisters' previous misunderstanding and help you get the holy favor.

"Huh, do you think I will believe you?" Lu Wan Wan smiled coldly: "You don't even hesitate to hurt your own sister, causing your sisters to turn against you. Now the person in the harem is not jealous and hate you. Yu beauty, no matter how beautiful you are, your heart is like a snake and scorpion. Unfortunately, the emperor likes you so much and the empress dowager loves you so much. I, Lu Wan won't be blind. Eye, I want to climb your high branch.

"You are really brave, worthy of being the noble daughter of heaven."

Beauty Yu's words came from her heart and were not ridiculed or flattering. Lu Wanxuan locked her eyebrows and waited for her to say her next sentence.

"I remember that I once said that in this harem, only you and I are the only ones who sincerely treat that earthworm, but now I am going to give up."

A little surprised, Lu Wanxuan was slightly stunned and looked at her puzzledly.

"In fact, I don't care about the views of people all over the world, because most of what I have done is just for one person. My love for that earthworm is enough to destroy the world. I don't regret it, but in the end, what I got, either by betraying my relatives or the bones of my relatives are left. Such love makes me feel cold.

"I will give you a choice today. You have your love, and I have my right in the harem. We work together and then have no relationship with each other and do not owe each other. If you refuse, you will lose the right to get close to what you love, but I know that even if that person will not fall in love with you, you will not give up and become the person standing beside him, right?

"Why did you choose me?"

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Wan Wan opened her mouth. Such a choice is a dream she has been chasing for a long time. Now in front of her, the people who have been hindering her have also moved their steps, and she will inevitably not be moved.

"Because when we were young, we saw the same thing until now."

A somewhat bitter smile appeared on Yu Meiren's face, and the past pictures were once again replayed in her mind, suppressing the strong sadness in the bottom of her heart, and all kinds of flavors surged into her heart.

When she was a child, Lu Wan Wan's heart moved. Yes, from then on, she remembered the woman who made her jealous at a glance.

But she chose her now because she doesn't like the thing she likes anymore?

The unspeakable feeling, she slowly asked, "So, what do you want now?"

Yu Meiren quietly stared at the woman's clear and dusty face, looking at each other, as if she had been waiting for a night. Outside the hall, she suddenly heard a "squeak" sound, like a cicada. She smiled softly and slowly opened her mouth.

"One day, you will know."
