Nangong Lizhu's face suddenly changed.
I naturally knew that my words had penetrated into her heart, so I didn't look at her, but just lowered my head and said sadly: "Since the folk girl entered the palace, all the ladies always call it "Miss Yan". This is naturally a respect for the folk girl's family, but in fact, according to the etiquette and laws of this dynasty, the folk girl has long been married, and the three words "Miss Yan" have long been unable to be regarded as."
“…”
"Since the girl in the civilian world has been married, she is not widowed, and has not been retired. Although she has entered the capital alone, she is still the wife of someone else. If she accepts the title of His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid-" I raised my head and looked at Chang Qing, and said with a smile: "The face of the royal side has been preserved, but the second daughter of the civilian world is the case when the royal family occupies the wife, and it will be difficult for the whole world to block the long mouth of the world."
After saying this, the entire Jingren Palace became quiet.
Although my words were said in a harmonious manner, the words "one woman and two married" and "occupied the civilian woman" were really horrifying. These ladies probably didn't expect to hear these words from my mouth. Not only Chang Qing, but also Yang Jinqiao, who had been sitting quietly beside him, looked shocked at this moment. He couldn't believe his ears, and said, "You, you--"
As I met her gaze, I only lowered my eyelids and closed my mouth.
Naturally, Nangong Lizhu was kneeling in front of her eyes. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, but a few redness appeared on her cheeks. I don’t know if it was because of anxious shame or something, but it seemed like she was slapped by someone.
In fact, it was not only her, but my own face was also full of burning heat.
I didn't expect that one day, I would use this excuse, or use Pei Yuanxiu to fight back against Nangong Lizhu.
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, a few concubines whispered to each other, while whispering something, looking at Nangong Lizhu from the corners of my eyes, whispering, but I could probably hear some of their words—
"Isn't the imperial concubine the first time-"
"Yes, she didn't even get a divorce letter, that one is still alive now!"
"This is-"
"Shh, don't talk!"
I smiled faintly.
The folk customs of this dynasty are not open to the previous dynasties, and women are almost no longer allowed to participate in politics. I was able to be the master of Jixian Hall, which was also a blessing for the prince. But being retired and a widowed woman wanted to remarry. Besides, in the ancient Yuefu poem, Liu Lanzhi was retired and a county magistrate came to marry. Just like a man divorced and remarrying, this kind of thing is his own freedom. If someone wants to fight for a lifetime to exchange for a chastity arch, there will naturally be some praise, but those who do not want to remarry and remarry for a lifetime will not be criticized by thousands of people.
But - if one woman and the second one marry, it is like a man who stops his wife and remarries him. If he sues the government, he will also file a case!
So, as soon as I said this, it was like slapping Nangong Lizhu invisibly. No wonder her face was still red now.
At this time, when the atmosphere was almost brewing, I smiled and said, "Although the people in Xichuan are open and most women are bold and brave, there is no such thing as a woman and a couple. It is natural for the imperial concubine to consider His Majesty the Emperor and the Royal Face, but the Emperor's - Qingyu, the Empress should also consider it."
Nangong Lizhu knelt there, motionless.
I don't know what she is feeling now, either shame or anger, but my gangster and I have long been together. She forced me like this today, but I can't blame me for saying this to fight back.
However, after saying that, there was no pleasure of victory.
No matter what, as a woman, like all women, I would not hope to reach this point in the beginning. I will have a pair of people in my life. This is not just a dream of one or two people. It is just that things are impermanent. I will meet Pei Yuanhao first, and God will arrange for her to marry Pei Yuanxiu first.
In other words, no one is favored.
So, after saying that, I became quiet myself.
The room was in an indescribable and depressing atmosphere.
I don’t know how long it took, Chang Qing suddenly sighed: “Forget it, let’s discuss this matter again.”
After saying that, she looked down at Nangong Lizhu who had not moved. At this time, Nangong Lizhu seemed to have been strangled by someone's throat, and coughed desperately, as if the coughing was about to shake his heart and liver. Chang Qing raised her eyes and gave Ruizhu next to her a wink. Ruizhu hurriedly stepped forward to help Nangong Lizhu up. Chang Qing said, "You are too tired of the emperor's affairs. Her body is weak and she can't take good care of it. You, you'd better take a good rest."
Nangong Lizhu didn't say anything, and couldn't speak, so she just coughed hard.
Chang Qing sighed, walked down from her seat, and reached out to support her: "What's wrong? I'm so sick?"
Nangong Lizhu barely stopped coughing at this time, but her voice was intermittent when she spoke. She said, "The Queen is forgiven for her crime. I am too frivolous and didn't figure it out. I just talk nonsense, which alarmed the Queen. I deserve to die."
Just as Chang Qing was about to say something, Nangong Lizhu continued, "But there is one thing that I still don't know very well."
"What?"
"I don't know. It turns out that Miss Yan has married someone else outside the palace. I don't know who Miss Yan has married?"
“…”
My eyebrows frowned slightly.
Nangong Lizhu slowly turned around, her face coughing red, and even the corners of her eyes were a little red, which completely overshadowed the redness of her face just now. When I looked at her red eyes, I seemed to be able to see a real pain from it, and I immediately breathed suffocated.
However, I remained calm and smiled faintly, "Is this important?"
"It doesn't matter, I just asked. Miss Yan, you can talk to others about everything. Can you tell me about marriage? Who did you marry, but you can't say it?"
“…”
"Or, you dare not say it?"
The atmosphere in Jingren Palace suddenly became tense.
Indeed, everything is impossible to tell others. Pei Yuanxiu and I had such a big wedding, even a three-year-old child knew it. It was impossible that these ladies who like to inquire didn't know. When she came to ask now, I knew what it meant, but I wanted to put a hat of a thief on me.
I closed my mouth and stood still.
Nangong Lizhu slowly pushed away Chang Qing and Ruizhu's hands, turned around and walked to me step by step. The red eyes were still with the tears that had just been coughed up, staring at me: "Why, I was so smart just now, I'll argue with you. Now, for a simple question, you can't speak?"
“…”
She smiled coldly at my gloomy eyes: "You can't say it, I'll say. You have indeed left the palace to marry, but you are not marrying a good family, but-"
"shut up!"
Just as my fists were clenched and my whole body was tense, a voice suddenly interrupted her.
Nangong Lizhu was suddenly shocked, raised her head and looked behind me, and her face suddenly changed.
The concubines around were also startled, and several of them jumped up from their seats. When they looked back, they all fell to their knees: "Master!"
I was a little stiff. Looking at Nangong Lizhu in front of me, Chang Qing and the others were all kneeling on the ground. Then I turned around and saw Pei Yuanhao standing at the door with a cold air on his body, but he could not suppress the evil aura that rose in his dark eyes, as if he was about to crush the whole house in an instant.
My lips trembled slightly, and I immediately leaned over and saluted: "Men's daughter pays homage to the emperor."
Pei Yuanhao looked at me, his face gloomy as if it was the sky outside.
He didn't speak, just stood at the door, and the concubines in the room didn't dare to speak, and just knelt all over the ground. I could feel the people next to me trembling and suffocating my breath.
No one knows how long he stood at the door and how long he listened.
Did he hear all my words just now?
Thinking of this, Pei Yuanhao suddenly walked over.
He walked over without saying a word, and none of these people dared to get up. He watched his robe slowly float past his eyes. Finally, his feet stopped beside me.
One of my hands was still on the ground, and the cold air from the cold ground pierced straight into my heart through my palms.
And right beside me, Nangong Lizhu was kneeling properly, as if she felt the chill just like me, and she was trembling.
I was not feeling well either. Although I was kneeling on the cold ground, Pei Yuanhao's eyes seemed to be filled with fire. When he looked at me, his skin was almost burned.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard his general words-
“All up.”
Immediately, someone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone hurriedly stood up, and two other legs seemed to be weak. They all staggered when they stood up. Chang Qing was held up and hurriedly said, "Master, today--"
“Needless to say.”
His face was still gloomy: "I know everything."
When she heard this, Nangong Lizhu's face turned paler. She raised her head and looked at Pei Yuanhao and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am--"
"You need to say nothing," Pei Yuanhao's voice softened unexpectedly, as if he didn't dare to look at her, and he was reluctant to look at her. After struggling for a moment, he slowly said: "I understand your thoughts."
"emperor……"
At this time, Pei Yuanhao didn't look back and said lightly: "You go back first."
“…”
Although he didn't look back, and even said nothing, I immediately felt sorry for it. This was what I said.
I said softly: "The young woman surrendered."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to speak, he raised the issue that had been arguing for a long time and hurriedly turned around and walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I felt a sensation of cold outside, almost making my breathing frozen to ice. At the door, there were Eunuch Yu and others standing. When I saw me walking out, the wrinkles on Eunuch Yu’s face became several layers deeper, and I said softly: “Are you coming out?”
I turned around and took a look, and then said softly: "Brother-in-law, how long have you been listening to this?"
Eunuch Yu immediately lowered her face.
If he didn't say it, I probably understood it too.
Probably, Eunuch Yu didn't want him to hear it, he heard everything.
At this time, I don’t know if Nangong Lizhu’s play is good or the timing is good. It seems that although she has not been a concubine in this palace for many years, her ability has increased a lot.
If it were the "Yue Qingying" who was the past, I was afraid that the few more people would die at her hands.
Fortunately, I am now "Miss Yan".
Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing.
When he saw me laughing, Eunuch Yu couldn't help but stretch out his hand and twisted me: "Why are you like this--"
I was twisted by him and ran down the steps. I also smiled faintly. Pei Yuanhao's voice behind me comforting Nangong Lizhu was already very small, and I couldn't hear it at this time. I only heard the last sentence that he wanted to send her back to Yuhua Palace. I was afraid that I would run into it if I came out. I nodded to Eunuch Yu and turned around and left.
Going home is only a few steps away.
As soon as I pushed the door in, Madam Wu and Su Su both surrounded her and asked questions. It seemed that they were all very worried. They were called over early in the morning, for fear that I would suffer another loss. I just said it lightly, relieved their worries. When I looked back, Miaoyan also ran out of the inner room, ran all the way, and threw herself into my arms.
I smiled and said, "Does Miaoyan miss her mother?"
"Um."
"Don't worry, my mother won't leave you."
I reached out to hug her and gently stroked her red face - of course I won't leave you easily.
No matter who wants to drive me away; no matter who wants to plot against me and you, I will not let her succeed easily!

After going home for a while, it seemed that Pei Yuanhao was not in a good mood, so he didn't come to cause trouble for me. After lunch, I took off my jacket and went to bed with her. When I unbuttoned my chest, I was stunned for a moment.
“Huh?”
Su Su, who was holding a copper basin next to her, was about to go out to pour hot water, stopped: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Where is the talisman of Miaoyan? Why is it gone?"
"Oh, the one on Miss Miaoyan's chest isn't it? Didn't I get wet when I woke up early? I'm putting it on the table to dry it."
I looked back and it was indeed placed on the table.
So I felt relieved and went to bed with Miaoyan. She felt at ease and fell asleep in a short while, but I couldn't sleep. After tossing and turning for a while, I simply got out of bed and walked to the table. I wanted to take a book and read it, but I saw the talisman placed on the corner of the table.
Have done a lot.
I reached out and picked it up, pinched it with my fingertips, and at this moment, I suddenly saw something.
On the talisman, something faintly revealed in the place moistened by water, as if-
It seems to be some handwriting?
