In the evening, a green cloth carriage stopped at the gate of the palace despite the heavy snowstorm. Mu Dai walked out of the carriage with the help of the little maid. She was dressed in purple and covered with a snow-white cloak.

It is particularly dazzling in the flying snow.【】

Although she didn't apply any powder, her color was like morning glow reflecting snow, which made others envious.

Lan Guiren, who was standing in the palace gate, saw her at a glance, couldn't help but ran over immediately.

"My lord." Jingxiang exclaimed and hurriedly followed, holding up the umbrella in her hand to shield Lan Guiren from the heavy snow.

"Cousin, you're here!" Lan Guiren held Mu Dai's hand tightly and felt it was cold. She was startled and immediately gave her hand stove to Mu Dai and said with a smile: "This is only for use in the palace.

The red charcoal is very warm and has a unique fragrance. I don’t know how much better it is than the one we have at home!”

Mu Dai did not answer. She looked anxiously at Lan Guiren, with a hint of anger on her face: "Someone from the palace said that you are sick and want to see me. Why don't you take good care of yourself in such a heavy snowstorm?"

Run to the palace gate to pick me up?"

"Didn't I miss you? Besides, I just had a minor illness and I'm about to recover. It was the Queen who took pity on me and knew that I missed you, so she specially summoned you to the palace to stay with me for a day!" Lan Guiren hugged Mu.

Dai's arm smiled.

"Yilan, the palace is no better than outside the palace, and things can no longer be the same as usual!" Mu Dai took her hand away without leaving a trace, and said softly: "Greetings, Mr. Lan!"

"Cousin!" Lan Guiren refused, she squeaked, and couldn't help but pick her up and move forward.

After returning to the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, Lan Guiren entered the warm bedroom, took off his cloak, took Mu Dai's hand and said with a smile: "Cousin, the Queen specially allows you to stay with me in the palace today. Let's

We can have a good conversation at night!"

"Well!" Mu Dai looked at Lan Guiren, her eyes full of soft light.

Lan Guiren gently waved his hand to signal Jingxiang and other servants to leave, and then whispered: "Cousin, at the end of next month it will be the Queen Mother's sixty-sixth birthday. This is an auspicious number. The Emperor is going to hold a grand birthday banquet for the Queen Mother.

, this is an opportunity!”

"Opportunity?" Mu Dai was shocked.

Lan Guiren nodded lightly and said with a grimace: "Cousin, you are right. The emperor likes my liveliness, but he will get bored after a while. It will only be a matter of time before I fall out of favor. I really regret not listening to you.

, I fell out of favor, and now I have to find a way to make the emperor change his mind."

Mu Dai's face changed slightly. She never thought that what she was worried about had really happened, and she never thought that Yilan, who had disdained to enter the palace at the beginning, would care so much about the emperor's favor.

"There are so many concubines in the harem, and there are many who are unfavored. You also said that the emperor loves your concubine extremely much. Yilan, listen to your cousin, don't fight for her if you can live a stable life!" Mu Dai held her hand.

The hand said softly.

"I know that I am not as good as your concubine. Not to mention me, none of the concubines in this palace are as good as your concubine in the emperor's heart. I just want... I just want..." Lan Guiren raised his head when he said this, with a look in his eyes.

Flashing tears: "Cousin, you must help me!"

"How can I help?" Mu Dai sighed.

"There are many concubines in the palace who are good at dancing, but none of them are as good at dancing as mine. Although I have heard people mention that your concubine is good at singing and dancing, I have never seen it. I think it is just a rumor. In addition, your concubine has given birth to many children now."

I am a child who is not young yet, but I am as light as a swallow. The Emperor likes to watch me dance. If I can be a part of the entertainment at the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet, as long as the Queen Mother is happy, the Emperor will naturally take me to heart!

"When Lan Guiren said this, his eyes were full of expectation.

Mu Dai shook her head gently and said with a smile: "Girl, you haven't understood yet, what is the use of the Queen Mother being happy? Even if the Emperor takes you into his heart because of this, how long can it last?"

"What do you mean, cousin?" Lan Guiren's eyes lit up.

"Are you going to dance for the Queen Mother or for the Emperor?" Mu Dai said with a smile.

"Of course it's for the emperor to see!" Lan Guiren paused slightly after saying this, then took Mu Dai's arm and said softly: "I know, my cousin must have a way, right? You must help me, my dance is

You taught me my cousin. My dancing skills are extraordinary. As long as I give you some guidance, I will definitely shine at the Queen Mother’s birthday banquet!”

"I have an idea. I wonder what you think, sister?" Mu Dai said with a smile.

"Cousin, please tell me quickly!" Lan Guiren asked urgently.

Mu Dai nodded lightly and whispered a few words in Lan Guiren's ear. The smile on Lan Guiren's face became deeper and deeper. Finally, he hugged Mu Dai and said softly: "I knew you had the best idea, cousin."

, Just follow my cousin’s advice!”

"Well, go ahead and ask your maid to bring in what I want. I will make your dance clothes overnight and teach you how to dance tomorrow morning!" Mu Dai patted her hand gently and smiled.

"Okay!" Lan Guiren responded sweetly.

It was late at night. Mu Dai was sitting on a chair and making dance clothes by candlelight. Looking at Lan Guiren who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Mu Dai felt uncomfortable and her eyes were flickering. It was not until the needle pierced her fingertip that she felt the sudden pain.

She came back to her senses and secretly made up her mind.

Maybe the big stone in her heart finally fell. The next day, Lan Guiren woke up almost noon. After lunch, she asked Mu Dai to teach her how to dance.

She had been learning dance from Mu Dai since she was a child. She had a good foundation and a tacit understanding between the two, so she learned it in just half an hour. She danced well, but it lacked some heat and Mu Dai's strength.

The beauty of the charm is deeply rooted in the bones, but the charming and charming Lan Guiren is also extremely agile when dancing.

"Cousin, the emperor can play the flute, and my cousin is no less generous than the emperor. When I dance in the evening, my cousin will hide among the plum blossoms and play the flute for me to accompany me!" Lan Guiren took Mu Dai's hand and smiled.

"Okay!" Mu Dai agreed, her eyes full of doting.

"It's a pity that cousin, you have to leave the palace tonight. I really hope that cousin can stay in the palace with me forever!" Lan Guiren leaned lightly on Mu Dai's shoulder and said with some disappointment.

Mu Dai was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Sister, what you said is true!"

"Yeah!" Lan Guiren nodded sharply and said, "It's a pity that my cousin can't enter the palace!"

"Yes!" Mu Dai's face was full of ridicule. Her husband died inexplicably a few days before she got married. Even though she was good at sex and art, no one came to propose marriage. Even if she did, she would be a concubine. She was born noble.

, how could you do this to yourself, so you never got married when you were nearly thirty years old.

It is still a dream for her to marry a good man in this life, let alone enter the palace and become the emperor's woman. Is she worthy?

"Cousin, why are you crying!" Lan Guiren was shocked.

"Sister!" Mu Dai hugged her, tears in her eyes getting even worse.

"Cousin, don't cry. When I regain the emperor's favor, I can ask the emperor to let you come to the palace to accompany me more often!" Lan Guiren said urgently.

"Okay!" Mu Dai nodded gently, feeling even more painful and unable to breathe.

In the afternoon, the snow gradually became lighter, and in the evening, although it did not stop, it was only falling sporadically.

Mu Dai wore an aqua long-sleeved dance dress and danced gracefully among the plum blossoms. The crystal clear snowflakes danced lightly, making her look even more ethereal.

With a slight spin, Mu Dai stood firmly, facing Lan Guiren, who was already looking at me infatuatedly, and smiled: "Sister, have you looked carefully?"

"Well, fortunately, sister, you said you would dance it here for me first, otherwise I wouldn't be able to grasp the charm. My sister's dance is really amazing. It's a pity that she is wearing my old dance clothes.

If you wear my sister's new work, it will definitely be more beautiful!" Lan Guiren said with a smile full of admiration.

Mu Dai looked at Lan Guiren, who was wearing a goose-yellow dance dress, standing among the red plum blossoms, and said with a smile: "Yilan, you are still young, so it is best to wear such a color. The red plum blossoms in the snow are gorgeous and elegant, delicate and delicate.

Not a demon, but a shining beauty. My sister, your clothes are the most beautiful scenery among the red plum blossoms in the snow!"

"That's not true. Among the red plum blossoms in the garden, I am the only one with wintersweet flowers!" Lan Guiren said coquettishly.

"Okay, you are the most beautiful. Before the emperor comes, you can practice once, and I will play the flute and dance with you!" After Mu Dai said that, she asked the little palace maid on the side to help her roll up her long sleeves.

After putting on a cloak to keep out the cold, I got the flute.

"Yeah!" Lan Guiren nodded gently.

Early this morning, the emperor sent people to Cining Palace to convey the decree. In the evening, he went to Cining Palace to have dinner with the Queen Mother.

Longyu arrived at the main entrance of Cining Palace. The emperor got off the dragonyu and was about to go in when he heard intermittent whistles in his ears, saying that what he was playing was his favorite tune.

Seeing that the emperor stopped, Wu Shulai subconsciously glanced back. The whistling sound must have come from the Cining Garden.

"At this hour, who is playing the flute in the Cining Garden?" the emperor asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, the concubines of Shoukang Palace often go to Cining Garden to enjoy the flowers. This may be the whim of one of the concubines!" Wu Shulai said with a smile.

"Hmm..." The emperor nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Of the late emperor's concubines, the only one who is good at playing the flute is the Concubine Tai. I remember that the last time I saw the Concubine Tai was when she entered the palace with the prince. I haven't greeted her for a long time.

, go and have a look!”

"Yes!" Wu Shulai responded and followed the emperor to Cining Garden.

…

"Cousin, I won't dance anymore!" Lan Guiren's face was covered with sweat, and he squatted down holding his stomach.

"What's going on?" Mu Dai was shocked.

"Maybe I had a bad stomach during lunch, and it's all my fault. I should listen to you and eat less. But I haven't eaten food cooked by my cousin for a long time, and I'm greedy!" Lan Guiren said with a frown.

"Let's go back, there will be another chance in the future!" Mu Dai's face turned pale, and she held Lan Guiren's hand. At this moment, her hand was even colder than Lan Guiren's.

"I also want to go back, but I can't help it. Cousin, I want to go out, you wait for me here!" After saying this, Lan Guiren asked Jingxiang and the two little maids beside her to help her walk deeper into the forest.

.

"Sister..." Mu Dai's eyes were filled with distress. She wanted to catch up, but she heard a sound coming from outside the plum blossom forest.

"Why is there no sound of the flute?" the emperor said with some confusion.
