The Jasmine Garden in the Imperial Palace of Qi is located on the south side of the Yudai River. www.biquge.info The Yudai River is a tributary of the Taichang River and is the "inland river" in the palace. Meandering through the palace. It flows into the palace from the west and flows out from the southeast to join the Taichang River. Because of it, there are many more viewing pavilions in the palace, and many white jade bridges have been added.

The palace maids and eunuchs had already set up their seats and piano tables in the jasmine garden. Just waiting for the queen mother and the ladies to arrive.

The platform is backed by the Yudai River and surrounded by a ring of jasmine flowers. The flowing water is murmuring, and the fragrant wind is gusting, which is refreshing and pleasant.

Wanru supported her waist with her right hand and straightened up. With his left hand, he made a pergola in front of his eyes, looked at the white flowers and green leaves in his eyes, wiped the sweat on his forehead, turned around and looked at the bright yellow main seat arranged for the queen mother and the emperor, and smiled with satisfaction.

A few days ago, I received news that after the emperor's wedding, she would be transferred to serve the queen. shook off the water droplets on his hands, looked down at his hands and frowned. This slender jade finger that once did not touch the spring water has become rough. If her father hadn't been convicted, she wouldn't have been punished to the palace as a slave. will still be the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, maybe she will be married to a wife by now, a husband and a child, and she will be happy. Can ...... now

She sighed and looked up at the sky, the rising sun was a little dazzling. She narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the birds that streaked across the sky, her eyes moistened. In her life, she can only stay in this cage-like palace until she dies of old age......

Wanru, what's wrong with you?" The palace maid on the side saw that her eyes were red, and she looked left and right, and there was no one nearby, so she wondered: "Who bullied you?"

"I didn't ...... No one ......" Wanru hurriedly wiped her eyes with her cramped sleeve, "The sun is too dazzling......" After speaking, she smiled at the palace maid, "Okay, you can't be lazy, go and bring the fruit plate." ”

The little servant still lay on the ground and did not get up. The room was quiet except for the sound of breathing and the occasional sobbing of the servants.

"Does the old lady know?" Miss Gu Er thought for a while and asked.

"Second Miss Hui, old lady...... It should already be known by now. The little guy replied uncertainly.

"Should it?" Miss Gu Er's voice was raised, and the little guy below trembled slightly.

"Miss Hui Er...... Be...... Be...... is 'should'......"

"Could it be...... Didn't you tell the old lady when you came back last night?" Miss Gu Er lowered her voice and asked softly.

"My second young lady" The little girl was so frightened that she buried her newly raised head again: "Where is the old lady...... Who would dare to say that!"

When Miss Gu Er heard this, she had a plan in her heart. He asked, "Who else knows about this?"

"Cloud ...... Auntie," replied the little maid in a whisper.

"Huh?" Miss Gu Er sneered in her heart. After thinking about it, he asked again, "Who did you meet when you came back yesterday?"

"Back to the second miss" The little girl reacted very timely this time, and said in a hurry: "Second miss, don't worry, it was already dark when the young master came back yesterday, and I didn't meet anyone on the road." When I arrived at the door, I also came in through the back door. Didn't dare to go through the front door. ”

The cannon-like answer was completely different from the previous look and attitude. Second Miss Gu lowered her head and looked at the little guy carefully, "Okay, I know, you go down." ”

The little maid who was pardoned hurriedly withdrew from the house, and Nian'er immediately greeted her: "Miss, this person ......"

Miss Gu Er let out a snort from her nose: "Hmph, this must have been sent by Aunt Yun." She looked at Nian'er and continued, "She wanted to come and tell me that his son was embarrassed to be seen." After speaking, she stood up: "What she wants to express is that this matter will not be true! But ......" took two steps forward, and Miss Gu Er suddenly laughed: "Are all the wine bags and rice bags around her son fake?"

While motioning for Nian'er to put away his things and go out, he pondered: "Let's go to the palace first." I don't know if this matter will be spread to the palace today, in case the Queen Mother and Yanguan know......" Speaking of this, Miss Gu Er stomped her feet fiercely and said: "This bastard thing who is not angry only knows how to cause trouble for me!"

Seeing that the master was angry, Nian'er didn't dare to say anything, so she had to report her belongings, followed behind the angry Miss Gu Er, and walked towards the door.

…………

When the Queen Mother held Guo's hand, when she arrived, all the invited people had arrived. Hearing "the Queen Mother has arrived", they all stood up and saluted to greet them. It wasn't until the Queen Mother sat down and Xuan Ping that everyone stood up and returned to their seats.

"Who is Qinmei?" the Queen Mother's first sentence was to ask Qinmei, which surprised many people.

Miss Gu Er looked at the small pavilion where the dancing girls were waiting without a trace. She thought that the queen would ask her if the future queen had arrived and if she was okay. As a result, the first thing to ask was this little girl who didn't care about it. Although she didn't show it on the surface, Miss Gu Er was angry in her heart.

The Queen Mother announced Qinmei first, but it was in Murong Linshuang's expectations. After all, she is the person designated by the Queen Mother to meet. But Ye Luo pouted angrily on the side.

Hearing the eunuch announce that he had stepped forward to meet him, Qin Mei smiled at the clouds and Yu Bing beside her, and under the guidance of the palace maid, she walked out of the pavilion and into the sun.

The green piping at the corner of the skirt is like a green wave, and the Qinmei set off is like a Lingbo fairy, Shi Shiran walked from a distance. A freshly bloomed gardenia is slanted under the bun, and the elegant orchid on the moon-white dress is blooming quietly. It's like an elf coming out of the flowers.

Seeing the gardenias on Qinmei's sideburns, Guo Gonggong took a breath of cool air. He looked down at the white flower on the head of the Queen Mother on the couch that he had just planted, and couldn't help but feel worried. Fortunately, the Queen Mother's eye disease has not fully recovered, and she should not be able to see the flowers on Qinmei's head clearly. He couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart: "It's good not to be discovered by the Queen Mother." ”

Qin Mei walked to a female dependent, walked in front of the queen mother, and bowed lightly. Said softly: "The people's daughter Qinmei, see the Queen Mother. Blessed mother. ”

"Okay! What a girl with aura!" said and beckoned Guo Gonggong to take the prepared brocade box, and said to Qinmei: "The mourning family has already heard that the Qinmei girl plays a magical zheng. ”

"No, the mourning family has prepared this for you. As he spoke, he motioned to Guo Gonggong to send the brocade box to Qinmei.

"It's a pick made of ivory. The mourning family doesn't know if it's good or not. But I really don't know what to give to Miss Qinmei. ”

Qin Mei watched Gonggong Guo come over from the Queen Mother. Quickly knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and accepted the things given by the Queen Mother. For Qin Mei, this gift came too suddenly and too preciously. I don't know what these people around me will think. Listening to Begonia, the future queen will also be present today. I don't know what she looks like, I don't know what she thinks when she sees the Queen Mother giving her gifts.

"Thank you for the reward. ”

"The mourners are very fond of kites. The Queen Mother smiled: "In the past, the emperor found someone to come into the palace to play to the mourning family, although they are highly skilled, but the mourning family always feels that there is something shortcoming." ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother raised her head and smiled at everyone present: "Today, the mourning family wants to listen to the Qin Mei girl's zither." I heard that the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty likes it very much!"

Listening to the whispered discussions around her, Qin Mei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for the love of the Queen Mother." The Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty can like Qinmei, which is a blessing for Qinmei. ”

"Ouch, what a modest girl!" the Queen Mother smiled and gave Gonggong Guo a look. Gonggong Guo went to ask the palace maid to carry out the zither that had been prepared.

"This Zheng mourning family has also been prepared for Miss Qinmei early. Hurry up, let the mourners hear. ”

"Qin Mei is rude. After speaking, under the guidance of the palace maid, he walked towards the flowers.

Since Qinmei came out of the pavilion, the Queen Mother's eyes have not left Qinmei. Although only a vague outline can be seen, the leisurely and elegant charm of Qinmei shocked the Queen Mother. When Qin Mei stood in front of her, she tried very hard to see Qin Mei's face clearly, but it was still a blur. The Queen Mother sighed silently in her heart. After all, there are still many opportunities to meet in the future, and there is no rush for this time.

The palace maid tied the paddle that the Queen Mother had just given Qin Mei and withdrew. Qin Mei looked up at the Queen Mother not far away, and said again: "Qin Mei is rude." After seeing the Queen Mother nodding with a smile, she slowly sat in front of the zither and raised her eyes to scan the surrounding environment. Suddenly remembered Haotian. If Haotian hadn't brought her to such a similar place last night, she would really be shocked today.

Winding riverside, a large field of jasmine. It has a pleasant aroma. She thought of Haotian's hair "penetrated" by the sun, remembered his warm embrace, and raised her hand to draw a circle on the kite. Listening to the graceful sound gurgling out of the strings, Qin Mei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath of a rich floral fragrance, plucked his right hand from the bottom to the top, and then pulled the left hand from the top down, the thumb and index finger were opened, and the two strings were picked up together. The cheerful song flowed with the laughter of Qinmei, with the warm wind, and with the trickling stream.

The Queen Mother froze, and she suddenly knew what was missing from the performance of the Zheng she had heard before. Shen Yun is Shen Yun! And Qin Mei's whole person is like a person who has been selected by the Zheng, exuding the charm of this rhythm from his bones. She held her breath and listened quietly. It was as if the fairy music was about to slip away as soon as you exhaled.

Recalling Haotian's laughter, Qin Mei opened his mouth and sang:

"The white clouds are floating, the green water is shaking, and the world is so free

Free wind, free birds

Laugh a lot today

How happy

How wonderful

What an incredible ......."

After singing a paragraph, Qin Mei looked up at the Queen Mother, who closed her eyes and smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, quietly admiring it.

…………

And at this moment, King Qi, accompanied by Gonggong Feng and Kang Lao, also came to the Jasmine Garden. Hearing this brisk singing, I couldn't help blurting out "This song is only because of heaven!" without moving forward. Just stand there and shake your head with your eyes closed while tapping your toes on your toes.

"Your Majesty...... Why are you stopping?" said Gonggong Feng in confusion. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
