After the concubines thanked them, they each walked to the edge of several peony flowers, watched carefully, joked with each other, and the peonies in the courtyard were fragrant and beautiful. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Murong Yixiao walked to a place where no one was, looked at a few clusters of yellow peonies in front of him, bent down and smelled carefully, the smell was different from what he smelled when he first entered the garden, the peonies in front of him were fragrant, and the branches were smaller than them, but they were more lovable.

The palace maid on the side saw that Murong Yixiao liked this flower very much, and thought that if she could take this opportunity to be chosen by the master, it would be better than being a companion with flowers all day long, so she stepped forward and said: "Qi Zhaohua Niangniang, the slave maid sees that Zhaohua Niangniang likes it very much, I don't know if Niangniang knows the name of this flower?" ”

Murong Yixiao was very displeased, she didn't like others to make noise on the side, especially when she was still unhappy, she glared at Ah Xiang next to her.

Ah Xiang knew what she wanted, so she called the green-dressed palace maid to the side, and said coldly: "Our mother doesn't like someone to bother on the side, you stay here, you don't need to come in again, otherwise you will go to the Internal Affairs Office to get the board yourself." ”

The palace maid in Qingshang didn't expect that if she intervened, it would cause the master's boredom, not to mention that she could leave here and soar. I was even more frightened in my heart, and I kept bowing and saluting: "The slave knows that she is wrong, please be lenient with my sister, the slave and the maid will never dare to say more." ”

Ah Xiang glanced at her lightly, and returned to Murong Yixiao without saying anything.

Murong Yixiao looked at the peony in the garden, and the worries and plans in his heart were gone, and he just wanted to get along with these delicate flowers intimately.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, and it's good!

Ah Xiang slowly walked to Murong Yixiao's side and waited quietly on the side.

Murong Yixiao looked away and looked around, Ah Xiang saw that she seemed to be looking for someone, and asked, "Who is the master looking for?" Do you want the help of slaves and maidservants? ”

"It's okay, no, you just keep an eye on the palace maid who just sent you out." Murong Yixiao said faintly uneasily.

"Yes." Ah Xiang looked at the gate of the garden and saw that she was still standing there with her head down.

Murong Yixiao nodded immediately, but there was still some faint uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

The queen moistened her throat and said: "Sisters of the palace, don't patronize and appreciate, the sisters of this palace know that they are all talented, why don't we appreciate this flower while praising the poems of this peony, and also learn from the elegance of the ancients, how about it?" ”

Shen Jieyu said with a shy face: "The queen mother, this is a good idea, but this is really difficult for the concubines, don't laugh at the sisters in the palace, the concubines' literary talents are difficult to get into the elegant hall, please take pity on the concubines, arrange something else for the concubines, and let the concubines come to cheer up, okay?" ”

The queen smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes." After thinking for a while, he said: "I heard that my sister has been good at the piano recently, why don't we chant poetry, how about my sister come to play music for everyone?" ”

Shen Jieyu's eyebrows widened, it happened that she had been more skilled in piano skills recently, and the queen's intention was exactly what she thought, so she was busy bowing and saluting, thanking.

The concubines and concubines of the palace sat down slowly, the queen sat on the steps, and the concubines sat down in an orderly manner along the path.

The little eunuch placed the piano in the middle of the garden, Shen Jieyu sat there, and stroked the piano with her bare hands, and a string of quiet rhyme connected the ancient and modern.

The queen slowly chanted elegantly and calmly: "The curtain of the painting hall is open to the banquet, and the incense is infinite. The spring breeze cherishes not letting go, and the ancient Zhenhong blooms. ”

The rosewood on the left hand side said with a smile: "Is this the poem of the Tang Dynasty poet Zheng Gu?" ”

"It's still a beautiful talent, yes, it's his. These days, Hongu happened to read poetry books, and when he read this one, he sang it. The queen's fresh and elegant opening makes people feel that she is deliberately giving talented people in the harem a chance.

The Rosewood also helped to blurt out a poem to praise the peony in front of him: "The shape is like a finely carved body, and the quality is like nephrite jade into the heart of spring." Only half of Hibiscus is ashamed, and Yao Huang is drunk all over the city. ”

"Okay, good, sure enough, it's still a beautiful talent, and I blurt out poems when I write them." The queen kept praising with a smile on her face.

After a while, the queen looked at the other concubines, and saw Concubine Hui thoughtfully tasting tea, so she said loudly: "How about Sister Hui's sister?" ”

Concubine Hui replied softly: "The concubine is not talented, and she can't think of a good sentence, she just thinks that today's peony in the garden is very dazzling, and the concubine is intoxicated and can't help herself. ”

The sound of the piano flows out slowly, which shows that the person who plays the piano is already proficient, but there is some lack of rhyme in the sound of the piano, which inevitably makes people feel a little dry and difficult to get into their hearts.

The queen bowed her head, turned her head sideways to look around, and after searching for it, she didn't find it, Concubine Hui saw that the queen seemed to be looking for someone, so she asked, "Is the queen looking for someone?" ”

"Well, have you seen Sister Xian?" The Queen's voice raised a little.

The concubines in the lower seat, looking left and right, Murong Yixiao faintly felt that something might be wrong, since she entered the peony garden, she didn't see Concubine Xian, she had already found out, and also told Ah Xiang to pay attention to it secretly, but there was still no trace.

Concubine Hui suddenly thought about it, and said in her heart: Shouldn't you do it?

She turned her head abruptly and instructed Lan Yue: "You look for a few more people, and go to the palaces to find the virtuous concubine." ”

Lan Yue replied: "Yes, the slave will go now." ”

Everyone looked at Concubine Hui's actions for some reason, wasn't she the most incompatible with Concubine Xian, why didn't Concubine Xian see her, she was more anxious than anyone else?

The queen still smiled faintly: "Sister Shen, you stop first." ”

Shen Jieyu heard the queen's order, stared at a pair of big eyes, looked around in a blink, and felt that the atmosphere was different, and immediately put down her hand and replied: "Yes!" ”

The queen's phoenix eyes were slightly cold, and she looked carefully at the next seat, and the concubines held their breath and stared, hanging their heads, closing their eyes and noses, and looking at their hearts.

"Did any of you see Concubine Xian last?" The queen asked urgently.

The concubines raised their heads and looked at each other, the beautiful woman looked at Chu Zhaoyi, Chu Zhaoyi shook her head, Murong Yixiao recalled: "The last time the concubine saw Concubine Xian, it was before entering the peony garden, the verandah turned seven times and nine turns, she was inconvenient to be with her sisters, so she stayed at the end, accompanied by the palace people, I think it should not suddenly disappear." ”

The concubines all know that Concubine Xian has always been at odds with the queen, Concubine Hui, and Xiao Zhaohua, but they never thought that if something happened to her, it was the three of them who were most concerned, and it seemed that the discord between them was just on the surface, otherwise they would not be so anxious.

When the queen heard this, she understood a little in her heart, and immediately shouted: "Someone! ”

The concubines were all shocked, and a father-in-law hurried over, and then heard the queen instruct: "You go and inform the palace people, see which palace Concubine Xian is resting in at the moment, if you find it, you will return immediately, in addition, you send some people to all parts of the imperial garden, and search every corner of the palace to see if Concubine Xian has gone to the garden, or other places." ”

The chief manager in the python robe lowered his body, hung his head and replied: "Yes, the slave is going here, please wait for a while!" ”

The concubines sat anxiously in the garden, waiting for the chief manager Qin Zhong to return.
