Su Mingyue and Wei Xiangwan arrived at Yongxuan Palace, only to find that the empress had already left.

"Now that the palace gate is locked, the queen left overnight?" Wei Xiangwan was not reconciled.

"The empress has gone to the Empress Dowager's Red Palace." The little eunuch who guarded the gate replied and persuaded: "You two should go back to rest. The empress may not return to Yongxuan Palace in a while. She told us that we don't have to wait. she."

"How about... let's go back." Su Mingyue backed off a little

"It's all here, so I might as well go to Red Palace again." As he spoke, he patted the mosquitoes on his body with a round fan, "It's Huangmeitian, and there are so many mosquitoes, I can't even lie down."

The two left hand in hand, turned their heads and ran towards Reid Palace.

"It's late at night, how could the Empress Dowager visit the Empress Dowager?" Su Mingyue wondered.

"The empress dowager is not the emperor's biological mother, but the emperor Huiwen's biological mother. The emperor's biological mother died early, and he rarely goes to the Ruide Palace on weekdays, but the queen may go to the Ruide Palace when she is free on the first day of the lunar new year. Even in Qixia Temple, the empress does not write letters to the emperor, but she has written many letters to the empress dowager. She also ordered the palace to cool off in summer, keep warm in winter, and spend clothes in four seasons. It's really strange, we just happened to be able to go and see the excitement."

Wei Xiangwan had completely forgotten that the original intention of going to the queen was to sue Concubine Hui, and she left excitedly, as if only to meet the queen.Su Mingyue became more and more curious about the queen, but Wei Xiangwan never cared so much about the emperor.

When the two arrived at the Drid Palace, the little maid at the door stopped them, "The queen ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

Su Mingyue also felt abrupt, after all, it was past the time of ugliness, but anyway, it was the time of ugliness, and now she couldn't sleep even if she went back.Wei Xiangwan sat down on the stone slab under the porch, shaking the round fan to drive away the mosquitoes, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, we can wait."

After waiting like this for more than half an hour, the door creaked, and a figure came out, but it was still not the queen, but Concubine Kang of Xingqing Palace.

Wei Xiangwan bowed his knees and saluted, "Greetings to Concubine Kang, why is Concubine Kang here?"

The maid next to Concubine Kang pinched her wrist, she smiled and said, "The empress is in a good mood, let me come to Red Palace to paint the portrait of the queen mother."

"Portrait? After midnight?"

Concubine Kang pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right, I'm done painting and I have to go back, you two please go ahead."

Concubine Kang left gracefully, and the little maid came out and said, "Why are you two young masters still here?"

"Sister Jinxiu, didn't you inform the queen?"

"I just informed you, isn't the queen busy, let you go back and rest."

"Then now, please go and report again."

"Wei Xiangwan, why didn't your Concubine Ning watch you?!" Suddenly someone from inside said loudly, "Get the hell out of here."

Wei Xiangwan was overjoyed, and quickly pulled Su Mingyue in and went in. When he arrived at the Cuiwei Pavilion, Wei Xiangwan immediately knelt down to greet the queen first, and then apologize to the queen. Su Mingyue didn't even have time to look at the queen carefully. He quickly knelt down with Wei Xiangwan.

"I know that the empress has a lot of things to do every day, and she has no time to meddle in the affairs of the harem, but that concubine Hui is too domineering. This kind of abuse of the sisters in the palace is several times worse than that of Concubine Yuan Gui back then. When Concubine Yuan Gui was here, she just didn't let us The emperor walked around, so as not to fight for half of the favor, this concubine Hui is too much, we can live a clean life behind closed doors, and she will not let it go." As he spoke, he pulled Su Mingyue and helped her smooth her hair Sleeve, "Look, look, this still makes people live."

Su Mingyue was so embarrassed by her, she hurriedly put down her sleeves, bowed her head and said nothing.

The queen remained silent for a long time, and sighed faintly, "Get up and answer. Is Su Mingyue right? Raise your head and let me see."

She calls people not titles, Wei Xiangwan is Wei Xiangwan, not Wei Changzai, Su Mingyue has no status in the palace, at most she can be regarded as a beautiful girl, and it is reasonable for the queen to call herself "my palace" or "sorrow" Home", but she said "I".Wei Xiangwan helped her up from the ground, while already chirping to report to the queen, "There is another Xiao Cairen, whose face is swollen from beatings, beyond recognition."

Su Mingyue raised her head according to the queen's words, and was facing a pair of jet-black eyes. She saw that the queen's sky was full, her eyebrows were inserted into the temples obliquely like a knife, her nose bridge was pretty, and her red lips were not stained with makeup and powder.She is tall and tall, half a head taller than Su Mingyue, and comparable to ordinary men, but she has a graceful figure, and she is not as indistinguishable as Princess Zheng if she changes clothes.There is a natural heroism between the brows, and the corners of the eyes are full of various amorous feelings.What's even more strange is that the queen didn't have a hairpin, a bead or a hairpin, and three thousand black silk was tied in a bunch of hastily at the back of her head. She was wearing a black cloth robe, only her waist was sealed with a red ground embroidered with gold clouds, and there was a suet jade ring pendant around her waist. Well, this Jianghu swordsman's attire looks romantic and heroic.

Su Mingyue was praised for her beauty by many people, but now when she saw the queen, she felt ashamed of herself.The queen's appearance is naturally very beautiful, but her grace and demeanor are by no means comparable to that of ordinary beauties, and the ingenious brushwork cannot describe one or two things. If she hadn't seen it personally, the history books would not be able to explain why, and I am afraid that no one in future generations will know about it. .

"Sure enough, she is so beautiful, she is as beautiful as a fairy." The queen praised sincerely, and turned to a young girl beside her, "You said, do I want to be the master for her today?"

The girl looked cold and arrogant, "You still have this leisurely heart?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mingyue realized that she had a weird voice. After a closer look, she realized that this girl was actually a boy in disguise. It's just that he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, not tall enough, and had a beautiful face, so he dressed like this at first glance. Male and female were not identified.

Wei Xiangwan said: "Hey, who is this? Why is there a male doll in the Queen Mother's bedroom?"

The queen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the boy also looked helpless, but the queen mother was a little anxious, and said: "You can see that he is a man at a glance?"

Wei Xiangwan nodded, "I noticed it when I came in." She looked around and found that there was a beautiful woman in palace costume sitting beside the empress dowager, who was Concubine Shu of Qingning Palace. This painting is a portrait of a young man. His face is not handsome, but his bearing is graceful, and he is definitely not a commoner. "Who is this? What are you doing? Are you going to rehearse a play? The ink is still wet, did you draw it just now? I know, this was drawn by Concubine Kang. People say that the beauties she drew are lifelike, and the men are drawn." She also has both form and spirit, and I will ask her to draw one for me tomorrow."

The queen didn't answer her ramblings, but asked instead: "Do you think this male doll looks like the person in the painting?"

"It's not like, there is nothing similar, just the same age."

The queen frowned, "This is not good, this drama cannot be sung."

After the Queen Mother heard this, tears glistened in her eyes, and her usually dull face was about to cover her face and wanted to cry.

Su Mingyue said: "The empress hopes that this male doll will disguise himself as a girl so that no one will find out, and also hopes that he looks like the person in this painting?"

The queen looked back at her again, and said: "We are going to sing "Changing Heaven and Changing the Sun". As you said, we must first disguise this male doll as a girl, and I will take him to an appointment, and then in a very short period of time, we will be there again." Dress him up as the person in the painting. To tell you the truth, the person in the painting is Emperor Huiwen, the Empress Dowager’s own son, who is now being held hostage by the King of Liao. If he is not rescued, this rebellion will be difficult to quell, and people will inevitably suffer, and China will be depressed.”

"If this young man dresses up as Emperor Huiwen to steal the sky and change the day, and Emperor Wen has returned, how will he escape?" Su Mingyue immediately looked at the young man with admiration, not to mention that he has already participated in such a change of dynasty at such a young age, and it has been recorded in history. Big strife.

The queen and the young man looked at each other and smiled, "You don't have to worry too much, we have our own way, the biggest loophole in this plan is how to disguise so that people can't see the flaw."

"Mingyue has the courage, I hope the class will use the axe to share the empress' worries."
