The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

The sound of turning pages is gentle.

Wei Ruoming's breathing became a little disordered and he didn't answer. It was obvious that his thoughts were confused by her words.

Zhao Yue's eyes fell on the book.

He tilted his head belatedly, as if waking up from a dream, his lips curled up in a playful smile as usual.

"I heard that His Majesty renovated Chuntang Palace for the young lady. This is a special favor that only the six palaces have. Even the idle official in the Ministry of Rites has been honored. Even his son...has been promoted."

His voice was full of teasing: "It is true that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit..."

"So do you want to be a chicken or a dog?"

"you?"

Zhaoyue handed him the book in his hand, and Wei Ruoming took it subconsciously.

She pulled out another book: "You must know what the Gao family is like now."

Wei Ruoming was stunned. He was still thinking about why he should continue her book: "You did it?"

This time his expression was more serious: "You are in the harem, can you stir up trouble in the former dynasty?"

Zhao Yue raised her eyebrows, her eyes innocent, her slender white fingers clasped under her chin, looking at him.

In her previous life, because she was not ambitious enough, she had never seen this guard. The people sent by the Minister of Rites to intimidate her were just old servants, who personally taught her how to "seduce" His Majesty in that matter.

But Wei Ruoming is a variable.

Her eyes darkened. "Wei Ruoming, an orphan adopted by the Minister of Rites, has no father or mother. He seems to be raised, but in fact he is just a... sharp sword that does his dirty work for him."

Zhao Yue looked at the sword on his waist and said, "He is a virtuous official with clean hands, and you really believe it."

"How do you know?"

Wei Ruoming clenched the book in his hand, took a step back, and drew his sword: "Did the master tell you?"

"he?"

Looking at the man's face, Zhaoyue laughed out loud, and suddenly, along with her laughter, the whole room was filled with an inexplicable heat and spring feeling.

"He and I never stand together."

"Your life is dispensable to him. Now I am helping him rise to prominence. If I let him kill you, do you think... an orphan like you can resist?"

She was smiling, but her eyes were cold.

Zhao Yue stretched out his hand and lightly touched the tip of the sword: "Only by assessing the situation can one become an outstanding secret guard."

Wei Ruoming's expression changed and his lips tightened.

"By the way, what did you see in Yaohua Garden?"

When these words reached his ears, his cheeks cracked with surprise: "You, you even know this?"

Take back the sword.

He looked at Zhaoyue, who was swaying gracefully and smiling charmingly in front of him, and felt an inexplicable fear.

"My life depends on you, Master."

"Poison, that's his usual method. I'll ask someone to cure you." Zhao Yue's fingertips stroked the paper: "As a condition, you have to replace the poison I fed Xiao Ran with medicine."

It turns out that she saved him just to save her brother.

I can’t describe how it feels.

"You know that one of us is poisonous." Wei Ruoming murmured, his smile a little bitter.

Zhao Yue's eyes moved away from the book and fell on him coldly, glaring at him.

"You can give me your life now."

As she walked past Wei Ruoming, the faint fragrance from her body lingered around the man.

I heard her say, "If you want to know about Yaohuayuan, just hide."

-

Ning Ruxin walked carefully, holding Yan Yang's jade pendant in her hand.

Looking at the newly renovated pavilion, the good memories of her past with Yan Yang came to her mind.

But now, all of them have been wiped out by Zhaoyue.

His Majesty wanted to give her the best of everything, even the building of the late emperor was modified at will.

On what basis did she have, with such a charming face, to make His Majesty dizzy.

Ning Ruxin walked towards the floor where she met Yan Yang for the last time.

She had a premonition when the jade pendant was lost that time.

The person waiting for her must be there.

The flickering candlelight hurt her eyes. It was already bright sunlight outside, and the light inside was even brighter.

It was as if all her previous sneaky thoughts and the adulterous affairs hidden in the dark were dispelled, as if he was disgusted with her dirtiness, accusing her of not being upright enough and emitting a dusty smell.

Your Majesty’s resolute turn that day seems to be happening right before my eyes.

This place made her feel ashamed and annoyed.

Ning Ruxin clenched the jade pendant and looked around Gaoliang Book Pavilion with a grim look in her eyes.

She has to calm down.

The window creaked in the wind, and she straightened her back: "Who?"

"Stop playing tricks and come out!"

Ning Ruxin stopped at the place where the sun had been shining that day and walked in: "If you don't come out, I'll leave!"

A light voice, with a lazy tone, was like a feather passing over the tip of my heart: "Ning Changzai, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Ning Ruxin saw a figure from behind, wearing a glittering cloak and a crystal hairpin. Under the candlelight beside her, her luster was breathtaking.

Just by looking at her back, she knew who she was.

Zhao Yue turned around, holding a book of His Majesty's poems in his hand.

She has a face as beautiful as a lotus in the moonlight, and her eyes can easily allure people. Just standing there, she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Only she is like the moon and the pearl.

Compared to when she first entered the palace, she is now more charming and elegant, and her demeanor is more noble. Poor words are unable to describe her beauty.

The jealousy in Ning Ruxin's eyes grew stronger.

"It's you."

"It's not been long since Consort Ning came to serve as concubine. It's not easy to see her again."

Zhao Yue smiled brightly, her eyes pure: "Do you like this jade pendant?"

Ning Ruxin approached her at a very fast pace.

The orange flame on the red candle flickered.

She stood still: "What are you doing? It's just a jade pendant. Who are you showing this to? Do you think you have control over me?"

Zhao Yue tilted her head slightly, her tone slightly doubtful: "To hold you?"

"Ning Changzai is the daughter of the Ministry of Revenue. She has a distinguished family background and a beautiful appearance that Your Majesty likes." She suddenly paused, looking at her face, as if she felt that she had said something wrong.

Some said with difficulty: "I need to take good care of myself. My skin is much worse than before."

Ning Ruxin almost lost her breath and stared at the innocent Zhao Yue in front of her: "You!"

"Since it's just a jade pendant, why is Chang Zai rushing here in such a hurry?"

Zhao Yue stared at her, and the smile in his eyes quickly turned cold.

"Isn't it time for you to pay back the injuries that Concubine Fang took for me at the birthday banquet?"

Ning Ruxin's dark brown pupils shrank slightly, and she took a step back, her body pressed against the bookcase, with her sleeves very close to the candle.

She looked around hurriedly, there was no one but them.

Her fingertips dug into the flesh of her palm, causing a stinging pain that calmed her down.

"I came to see you today just because I'm curious. It's true that I dropped the jade pendant. It's just a jade pendant. Why did Lady Zhao do it so secretly?"

She forced herself to remain calm and said, "I was the one who gave the imperial concubine the cat at her birthday banquet, but I was only trying to flatter her. I don't understand what you are saying."

"do not understand?"

Zhao Yue stared at her, smiling more charmingly: "By the way, I also asked someone to send the earrings to Guard Yan. Do you think he will come?"

Ning Ruxin's cheeks suddenly turned pale, and her tone became louder: "What Guard Yan, what are you talking about!"
