next day

Xia Qianyi came to his sister's boudoir early to wait. As soon as he saw her coming out, he immediately stood up and couldn't wait to tell her: "Ling'er, this is my new adopted sister. When you enter the palace, she will stay there

around you."

The light-colored skirt is trimmed with silver threads, and the water-colored gauze belt graces her waist. She wears a long skirt with violet colored hibiscus trailing to the floor, narrowing the waist and rolling sleeves.

With a slight smile on his face, his youthful and ignorant pair of spiritual beads were as smooth as pearls, and his eyes were as clear as the stream under the ice, unstained by a trace of worldly dirt.

Glancing at the woman beside Xia Qianyi, he said with a look of disgust on his face without hesitation: "Brother, how can you treat someone of unknown origin as your adopted sister!"

"She is homeless, so I naturally have to take her in as my adopted sister. The Xia family has no shortage of girls to take care of. She is about the same age as you, and you will always have a care for each other." He pulled her aside and said softly. "

Besides, she only came to the palace to be your slave, so why should you care about her?"

"You——" The moment Xia Muling saw her face, the finger she pointed at trembled slightly. She smiled slightly and said, "Your face is somewhat similar to that of my friend. What's your name?"

"The folk girl's name is Lanshan."

Seeing that his sister wanted to continue interrogating her, he quickly sent her away: "I have arranged for a tutor, you go down and study!"

Lan Shan saw the two siblings muttering secretly, and there must be some ulterior secrets.

Just now I saw Xia Muling's surprised expression, which was exactly the same as the expression on the prince's face that day. Her words made them couldn't help but touch their own faces. What was so strange about this face that shocked them so much.

Xia Muling walked to the door in person, looked around, and was extremely puzzled by that face: "Brother, don't you think..."

He wrote lightly: "A face is not enough."

"The people are all thinking that Chen Zhaoyi is the one whom the emperor favors the most. On the day of the queen's wedding, she was summoned to attend her bed. Even the title of the conferment and the name of the emperor's palace are inseparable from the two of them.

"When I think of my good sister, who has now become the emperor's most favored concubine, I feel a little envious, but there is also a hint of jealousy in it. "It is enough to show that the emperor loves sister Yilan."

Seeing the sad look on his sister's face, he stepped forward and comforted her: "That's just for a moment. Men always like the new and dislike the old."

"Your Majesty is a man of great love and righteousness. How could he be so unbearable as what I said?" She moved away his hand on her shoulder and retorted, not prepared to say anything bad about Murong Haochen.

Seeing that she was thinking about Murong Haochen so wholeheartedly, she actually came to refute her own brother. She shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Everything you say is right. However, if anyone asks about Lan Shan, you can

She was said to be my newly adopted adopted sister. You and she hit it off as soon as you met, so you invited her into the palace to be your personal maid. Although it is a bit aggrieved, it is better than being alone in the palace."

"Brother, why are you so concerned about that woman and placing her in the palace?"

She didn't believe that Lan Shan entered the palace without any purpose. She took Xia Qianyi's arm and asked him, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Brother, I have lied to you since I was a child." He was most afraid that this matter would be exposed. Not only did he not help the prince, but it would harm him. He couldn't leak this matter to his sister. "Besides, that girl is very smart.

Everything is taken care of in the palace."

After hearing this, Xia Muling felt that it made sense. She put down her guard and smiled lightly: "Ling'er, I believe in my brother."

Three days later, when she entered the palace, she could see the person she wanted to see the most.

He took out the handkerchief that he had treasured for a year. She was hit by a frightened horse at the night market last year. He used this handkerchief to bandage herself. She secretly rejoiced in her heart: Brother Murong, we met briefly last year, did you still return the favor?

I remember Ling'er. I remember you left when you rescued me. I also learned about your relationship with sister Yilan. I have never seen you having any contact with her. Brother Murong, how could you fall in love with her.

She doesn't understand a man's heart, but she loves him for the rest of her life.

"The girl is quite flexible, and she knows everything at once. She behaves like a young lady from a certain family." She has been teaching for so many years, and she has never seen a woman who can understand everything like her. She is extremely happy in her heart.

happy.

"Mommy was joking." She smiled in her heart.

"Mommy, apart from learning these etiquette, is there anything else you need to learn when entering the palace?"

I heard that the rules in the Central Plains are extremely complicated, but seeing them today is a piece of cake.

"Speaking of entering the palace, there are indeed some rules." After that, although all the rules were the same as before, new rules would be added as soon as the emperor lost his temper. He shook his head helplessly and spoke very softly.

Authentic: "No one is allowed to enter the Huayang Palace. Once the emperor knows about it, he will be beheaded. Another thing is that you are not allowed to enter or leave the Chenlan Palace at will without the emperor's order. However, Chen Zhaoyi does not have so many requirements."

Hearing what she said, it would be even more difficult to get the emperor's favor. She smiled disdainfully: "It sounds like this emperor is still a lover."

"Whether the emperor is a lover or not is just for others to see. Which emperor has always been able to truly let go of the country?" He picked up the tea that had been brewed, put it in front of her, and explained. "Just like making tea, after brewing

It's clean, the previous ones were all nothing."

If it is true, anyone with a discerning eye can see the emperor's intention in naming him.

If you don't love, how can you love her so much that you can't even save face?

If you don't love him, how can you enter and exit his bedroom at will?

The mourners everywhere are just those women who are lonely in the harem.

"Girl, girl——"

"What's the matter, Mammy?"

"Grandma saw that the girl was absent-minded, so I'd better make tea tomorrow."

After turning around to leave, he took another look and looked distracted, and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, she really had no intention of learning how to make tea. The injury on her wrist was from someone pouring tea on her wrist.

That mark is nothing compared to the mark on the back of the neck.

I grew up in the same environment, but my encounters were even more different.

If you are a commoner, you should be inferior to others, and you should be bullied and beaten at will?

No one in the world is truly equal. For them, status and status are unequal.

The moon is like the beginning, and the heart is like a hook.

Looking forward to the slanting tree branches, my heart suddenly felt.

It feels cold and chilly, and my heart hesitates.

The night returns quietly, where does my heart go?

"I'm still used to it here. Today, grandma said that you did well in your studies. It seems that the prince has a good eye for selecting people."

Xia Qianyi was just about to go back to his room when he raised his head and stared at a figure in the high pavilion.

Dressed in white, she looks particularly beautiful under the moonlight.

That touching scene made me walk up involuntarily.

"Why don't you say anything? But what's on your mind?"

There has always been a mystery in her heart, and no one can answer her one by one. He happened to come and got straight to the point without hesitation: "I just want to ask the young master, if you are the young master's adopted sister, you should be your biological sister's slave."

,Yes or no?"

"Is it possible that this young master wants to send you to the emperor's bed to compete with Ling'er?" To him, she is just a substitute that the prince kindly took in. How can she compare with the royal nobles.

Sitting lazily, playing with the folding fan in his hand, there was a hint of warning in his cold eyes: "You have to remember that you are the workman sent by the prince to work in the palace. Those things are only in name."

Do you really want to climb onto the dragon throne and become the empress?"

All men are the same, they can abandon everything for their own purposes.

This time she only lives for herself.

"Why not? Lanshan has the capital."

The graceful figure revealed a coquettish posture, smoothing his back and extending towards his chest bit by bit.

Sitting lazily, his whole body tensed up.

He has never touched a woman. If a woman touches him, his palms will sweat.

A soft voice whispered in his ear: "For example, this face."

He closed his eyes, suppressed himself with restraint, and took a deep breath: "It is true that you are more charming compared to that woman. But you can't imitate her temperament."

She turned over to his lap, hugged his neck and came close to him. With her slender jade hands, she caressed his cheek, and a charming smile bloomed: "Young master thinks that I can't climb onto the dragon bed with this face."

?"

Sure enough, she finally realized that behind this face, there were similarities with others.

Seeing him tightly closing his eyes, one can imagine that this man is restraining the tension in his heart.

Your fingertips gently touched his lips, and you could feel his beating heartbeat slowly down.

Xia Qian could also feel her breath approaching, but he never expected her to come here.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and the woman in his arms also...

His hand lingered for a long time, not knowing where to put it.

Grabbing her shoulders, his hot palms touched her cold skin.

When he faced this woman, that face that was both familiar and unfamiliar made him feel confused.

He picked up Lan Shan and placed her on the stone table. Seeing her look like this made him sink deeper and deeper.

The big palm on the body is full of warmth, the warmth in the palm has already been wrapped up, and the boiling heart has been jumping and cannot be taken back.

Holding her lips in his mouth, a meaningful smile appeared at the corners: "Shameless——"
