The warm sunlight was still like a washed white practice, gently laid down, and warmly smudged on Meng Zhaoyi's slightly plump body. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Meng Zhaoyi's eyebrows and eyes were even more delicate than before, and her words were happy and tranquil: "Sister went back to the house, thanked Mrs. Anguo for me, and then said hello to Sister Du for me, I haven't seen her for a few days, so I miss her." ”

Concubine Xin reluctantly agreed, the slender nails in the wide sleeves pierced deep into her palms, and it was only through severe pain that she could maintain the seemingly genuine smile on her face.

said goodbye to Meng Zhaoyi and left the palace, the wheels were busy, Concubine Xin sat on the pillow, listening to the crisp jingle of a copper bell hanging outside the Nanmu carriage, and her expression was all wooden.

When I returned to the house, I cheered up and went back to Mrs. Anguo, and then returned to my room to close the door, and Concubine Xin couldn't support it anymore. The fourth concubine is respectful, she doesn't covet it, she is jealous of the maternal brilliance on Meng Zhaoyi's face from time to time. In the Changchun Palace, her hand caressed Meng Zhaoyi's lower abdomen, and she felt the fetus throbbing slightly, so soft and so warm, that her heart was so soft that it was about to melt.

A stream of clear tears fell without waves, beating the pink and white moon flowers on Concubine Xin's clothes like condensation.

cried quietly, and Concubine Xin felt happier in her heart. Fortunately, there is no need to set rules at lunchtime, everyone eats by themselves in the room, and Concubine Xin is not afraid that her eyes are slightly swollen and Chu Zhaohui is suspicious.

After barely having lunch, Concubine Xin was not resting, so she ordered the girl to take two hard-boiled eggs to cover her eyes, and called someone to come in to fetch water and make up again.

Because of filial piety, I chose a plain skirt with light cyan embroidered moon and white folded branches and begonias, draped a mast white gauze shirt, and a hairpin with white jade and begonia hairpins. Concubine Xin took a silk yarn fan of Su embroidered begonia, and reluctantly mustered up her spirit to talk to Concubine Du, and passed on the news she had just heard to her.

Concubine Du is happy and clean, and she doesn't want anyone to serve her in front of her. At this time, it was the lunch time of the next people, and there were only two little girls standing in the flower shade on the middle door.

Concubine Xin helped the little girl's body, and entered the inner courtyard as soon as she saw that Concubine Du did not leave the gate on weekdays, so she took care of the courtyard more and more. The courtyard is newly planted with plantains, with wide leaves green and oily wax, lined with white camellia that blooms to the top, and the flowers are full of shadows for a while. A blue brick path in the middle winds its way to a lonely and deserted place.

The inner room is covered with pale green silk, and an ice basin is placed in the left and right corners, and the weather is still cool and pleasant in June.

When Concubine Xin came in, Concubine Du had a copy of "All Song Ci" on her lap, but she didn't look at it, and was leaning on the low couch of Huali by the window. The two greeted each other and smiled, but their eyebrows and eyes could not be covered.

When Su Rui was alive, although the two were disappointed, they still had some thoughts. Now this house is silent, and the days are like a stagnant water, but they still have to watch the second half of their lives when they see their heads at a glance.

After all, they are two women of Huaxin's age, who are virtuous and virtuous, accompanied by Chu Zhaohui from Qingsi Shou to Baitou, and the future chastity archway has nothing to do with them. Every time the two of them mentioned it, the heart was cut like a blunt knife, and it hurt to the bones.

In front of the good sisters in the same situation, Concubine Xin no longer concealed it, only sighed slightly, and sat next to Concubine Du, closed the book on her lap, and told her the news she heard in the palace today: "The queen's mother Jinkou Yuyan, the two Zhaoyi mothers will give the golden book treasure book, canonized as Xian and Shu two concubines respectively, Xu Zhaoyi will assist the queen mother to take care of the harem in the future." ”

Concubine Du's eyes widened suddenly, her body sat up straighter, as if she could distinguish the truth of Concubine Xin's words, and finally leaned back heavily, with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "The four palace maids of Rentai Palace that day were originally side by side, but now that they have children by their side, their identities are naturally very different from ours." Sister, I hate it so much!"

hated that the queen mother's hasty decision that day, and determined their identities in one sentence; hated Su Rui for making them bear a false name in vain, and fell into the reputation of a new widow with her daughter; and hated that now she is a caged bird, and the good Shaohua will be spent in the hard work of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

Although there was no one in the room, Concubine Xin still hurriedly covered her mouth: "You have the courage to eat the ambitious leopard, dare to complain so blatantly?" Now that the queen mother is clear-minded, if your words reach her old man's ears, where will you and I have good fruit to eat?"

"The same person has a different life, don't you still allow me to complain in private?" Concubine Du changed her previous weakness and looked a little reckless: "Such a small courtyard with three roads and three entrances is the place where I can live for the rest of my life, sister, I am unwilling." ”

What's the use of being unwilling, Concubine Xin leaned softly on the big pillow and sighed lamentingly: "You and I are this fate, so I will admit it, and I will back up the gift another day to congratulate the two of them on the promotion of the throne." ”

Concubine Du stood up, the book on her lap fell to the ground, and she didn't bother to pick it up, just standing in front of the window like a clay sculpture and wood carving. After a long time, Fang said slowly: "Sister, I'm not jealous, such a big happy event, I should also rejoice for the two of them." Somehow, my heart is always in a state of flux. ”

Raising her hand to drink some tea, looking at the bare kang table, Concubine Du remembered that she hadn't ordered anyone to serve tea at this time, so she called through the door and window. Chu Zhaohui has always been generous to the side concubines, and the two of them have their own small kitchens in the courtyard, preparing the usual tea and snacks, and they don't need to pick them up in the big kitchen.

The little girls prepared neat red bean and lamb soup, and added black tea mixed with milk, together with preserved fruit and candied fruit, and all kinds of tables were set up, ready and tightly closed.

Looking at the candied fruits, Concubine Xin thought of the sour green plums in the Changchun Palace, frowned deeply, and only turned into a long sigh. The two sisters still sat by the window, not knowing where to start.

Concubine Xin's eyebrows were slightly caged, and her slender apricot eyes were particularly moving, and she smiled sadly and added infinite sparseness: "In the past, the four of us sisters served the emperor and the queen mother in Rentai Palace, with Xu Zhaoyi being the eldest, and always took care of a few of us. I still remember her skillful hands, every Qixi Festival, she taught us to carve melons, fried Qiaoguo, and led us to worship the moon at night and beg Qiaoqiao. Back then, when my belt was off, she still used a needle to mend it for me. It is said that the deep palace is ruthless, and I often think that even my own sister is nothing more than that. ”

Concubine Du Fang owed tea to Concubine Xin, moved the fruit plate containing Sydney slices in front of her, and sighed leisurely: "I remember what my sister said." My sister is the youngest, and she doesn't know much about the rules of the palace, and she was often punished in the past. It was Sister Xu who taught her hand in hand, and she never tired of it every day. At that time, I was thinking that if one day I could get ahead, I would worship Sister Xu as a relative. ”
