Youzhou Imperial Palace. In the midsummer afternoon, after a heavy rain, the weather cooled down, and the concubine and the concubine looked at the lotus flowers in the imperial garden.

The imperial garden covers an area of 20 acres, located in the last position of the palace, there is a Yongfu palace in the middle of the garden, this is a Buddhist hall, which is for all the Bodhisattvas, every fifteenth day of the first month, the palace door here is wide open, and the concubines in the palace come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha.

To the left of Yongfu Palace is a group of rockeries. The rockery is made up of stones of various sizes, and at the top of the rockery there is a small courtyard surrounded by lush bamboo. From the top of the hill downward, there is a winding path that connects to a small bridge with stone arches at the bottom of the mountain, the small bridge is chic, the bridge deck is smooth, and the handrails of the bridge are carved with various patterns.

Living water flowed under the small bridge, and in front of it it became a small pond surrounded by willow trees. There are green lotus leaves growing in the small pond, lotus flowers are in full bloom, dragonflies are flying on the lotus flowers, and red fish are swimming happily in the water.

The concubine had a big belly, she held her waist with her left hand, and pointed to a small lotus with her right hand: "This flower blooms well, Xiao Zhao go and pick it." ”

Concubine Shu asked the concubine: "Niangniang, do you want to eat lotus leaf chicken?" The concubine asked someone to pick a few lotus leaves and make lotus leaf chicken tomorrow. ”

"Sister, I've said it many times, don't call me Niangniang, I'm your own sister. "The concubine is coquettish.

Concubine Shu smiled: "Niangniang doesn't pay attention to this, and the concubine can't help but talk about it." The palace rules must be observed, don't let people take the handle. She whispered, "When Your Majesty spoils you, you can do whatever you want." If there is no ...... It will affect the family. ”

The concubine hurriedly said: "My sister has been taught, and she must be cautious in her words and deeds in the future." ”

At this moment they heard faint music from afar, and listened attentively, as if it came from heaven. At this time, the sun is setting, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and the sky is dyed colorful, like a brocade spread on the sky, and the cool breeze sends a faint sound of fairy music.

"Niangniang, you see, this sky is so beautiful, and there is faint music. Concubine Shu pointed to the sky and gestured to Concubine Wan.

Wan Guifei looked to the west, she squinted and admired the beautiful sky: "Could it be that this is the fairy in the sky celebrating something?"

Concubine Shu smiled: "Niangniang is still a child, how can there be a god in the world." ”

"Feng Ling will definitely like it if he wants to see this scene. "The concubine misses that girl.

Concubine Shu whispered: "It's been ten days, she's almost fine." "Concubine Shu thought in her heart that Feng Ling had been gone for ten days, so she should be back soon.

Everyone in the palace knew that the crown princess was suffering from heat stroke and stayed in the palace to raise her. Only these two mothers knew that Feng Ling had gone to the front of the battle.

Your Majesty usually can't think of Feng Ling, as long as he sees that the concubine has a bad appetite and is in a bad mood, he will think of Feng Ling: "Ai Concubine, why didn't you see the crown princess." Let her stay with you and you'll eat more. ”

The concubine hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, that girl is sick and is not suitable to accompany me." His Majesty put it down.

After returning to the palace that day, the concubine sat on a bench in the courtyard. She ate some rice porridge and fruits, and then lost her appetite. His Majesty was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and came to see his beloved concubine. Seeing her sitting sullenly on the chair, he asked, "Is Concubine Ai okay today?"

Concubine Wan remembered her sister's words, and hurriedly got up and respectfully saluted His Majesty, His Majesty helped her, and said reproachfully: "Concubine Ai's body is inconvenient, and I don't need to salute when I see me in the future." ”

The concubine said: "Your Majesty cherishes the concubine's body, which is a blessing for the concubine's body. But the rules still have to be followed. ”

His Majesty nodded with satisfaction: "The daughters of the Zhang family have good manners." ”

He helped the concubine into the main hall, and asked as he walked, "Didn't the princess come to accompany you today?"

The concubine shook her head, supported her waist with one hand, leaned on His Majesty's arms, and said lazily, "Her body hasn't recovered yet." ”

His Majesty frowned, he turned to a eunuch and said, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and call an imperial doctor to come over and show her." ”

The concubine was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "It's because the concubine doesn't want to see her, that girl is sometimes a little noisy." ”

Your Majesty thinks that this woman who is pregnant with a child is fickle. Let's coax it.

"Tell me what the concubine wants, and I will satisfy you. "Your Majesty has never coaxed anyone like this since he was a child, even if it is his own princes and princesses, if they cry, they will either bluff their faces or reward something, they will hurry up and be obedient. He thought that he spoiled her like this, which might be the joy written in the book.

The concubine said sullenly: "The concubine is just a little bit homesick for her parents." Your Majesty forgive me. ”

"Haha, what's so difficult about this, tomorrow they will enter the palace to see you. "Your Majesty waved for the eunuch to write it down, and he would go and deliver the decree tomorrow morning.

The concubine hurriedly excused herself: "The concubine body is just talking, Your Majesty can't break the rules for the concubine body." ”

His Majesty comforted her: "What I say is the rule. I haven't seen your parents since you entered the palace for a few years, so you should see them. ”

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty. The concubine fed His Majesty a small piece of watermelon with a silver spoon and kissed His Majesty's face. Your Majesty's dragon heart is happy, and his heart is sweet, like drinking a glass of honey water.

The concubines in the palace do not have the true temperament of Wan'er, those women, secretive, coax and deceive, only allow one or two points for very affection, and use it in exchange for benefits. Their relationship with themselves is a kind of exchange, they give their bodies, they want to get position, possessions, power, for the benefit of themselves and their families.

His beloved concubine is not like this, she is simply good to herself. She didn't want to give her harem power, nor did she ask for an official position for her family...... When His Majesty saw her like this, the more he wanted to give her the best in the world.

His Majesty put his arms around the concubine and promised in her ear: "I will make my concubine the most noble woman in the world, and our son will become a ......."

Concubine Wan was shocked when she heard this, Your Majesty wants to abolish the crown prince, if that is the case, the crown princess will be her enemy in the future.

She smiled and said nothing. In the past, when they were in the Wang family, a master taught them: Just listen to what a man says, don't take it too seriously. She thought so, and looked at the grounded Queen Huang as an example.

His Majesty's holy decree was transmitted to the Zhang family early the next morning, and the head of the Zhang family was in the court, and the holy decree was received by the whole family led by the Yang family, the mother of the Zhang family.

Seeing that the carriage in the palace was waiting outside, the Yang family hurriedly cleaned up, took some things that the eldest daughter liked to eat and went out, and took two personal maids into the carriage.

For the other daughter, Concubine Wangui, Zhang Youxiang didn't explain much to her, but just said to her: "Concubine Shu has a hard time in the palace, and she sent her second daughter into the palace for her husband to help Concubine Shu." ”

Yang thought to himself, didn't the second daughter die early, but the old man must have a reason for that, so she replied: "The concubine knows, and it is the best thing for the two daughters to take care of each other in the palace. ”

When the second daughter was just picked up and returned to Zhangfu, she said that she had not recovered from her illness, and although she lived in the inner house, the Yang family did not see her true face.

Later, the second daughter became a favorite concubine, the old man's palace rose bigger and bigger, and the concubine's life in the palace was getting better and better, she was curious and grateful to the second daughter.

Yang is a smart woman, she was able to become a lady from a peasant girl, not only by luck, but also by her kindness and wisdom.

Her husband, Junzhang Youxiang, is her uncle's son, and the two of them have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. My cousin was disgusted by his uncle since he was a child, and he lived a poor life, so she quietly brought him food. When the two of them were busy with farm work, she always encouraged him and cared for him.

In Master Zhang's childhood, except for his mother, his cousin was good to him, so after he obtained fame, he went home to marry his cousin despite his mother's opposition. The relationship between the husband and wife has always been very good, but the wife has not given birth to a son for more than ten years, and Master Zhang has never had the idea of divorce his wife.

He knew who was really good to him in this world.
