"The emperor is auspicious - the emperor is auspicious!"

Just as Dongfang Ke was about to speak, the crisp birdsong suddenly sounded, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but be attracted. It turned out that Dongfang Rong had been teasing the talkative bird since feeding, and the green bird had been dodging the protest of "chirping" left and right, so that somehow one of them was willing to learn to speak.

Dongfang Rong was surprised, and tapped the birdcage with his fingers in protest, "You little green bird, you want to know that I am your master, okay?" You want to say, 'Princess auspicious-princess-', do you understand? Believe it or not, I really sent you two to Master Wang's Imperial Dining Room? ”

"Chirp-" The parrot still chirped and jumped gently.

Now Dongfang dissolved, "Brother Huang! You see, even the birds are bullying me—"

Behind him, Li Dezhao couldn't help laughing, but because the masters didn't dare to laugh out loud, he had to bow his head fiercely. Here Dongfang Ke "coughed" and stepped over, "Although the bird has spirituality, it is not yet a human, and if you 'threaten' it like this, they can't understand it." ”

Ruan Liuyan walked over with Dongfang Ke, and when she saw Dongfang Rong's gaze, she nodded in agreement. Dongfang Rong pouted when he saw this, "Since this is the case, then I won't be like this bird." By the way, Brother Huang, can you choose a name for this green bird? Yin Chongyuan and I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't think of the right one! ”

"Pick a name?" Puzzled, Dongfang Ke turned his gaze to Ruan Liuyan, Ruan Liuyan nodded with a smile from the corner of his eyes, "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubines and princesses have been thinking about it for a long time, but they haven't thought of a suitable name." Please also ask the emperor to give the name. Looking back and forth between the two, Dongfang Ke was even more sure that these two people had their own little "secrets", but he didn't break them, and walked straight to the position close to the birdcage.

The peony parrot is lively and bold by nature, and is called a love bird among the people. With just one glance, Dongfang Ke determined the species of this bird, glanced at Dongfang Rong with a sideways face, and said unhurriedly: "Why don't you call it Lu Xiaorong?" ”

"Brother Huang!" Dongfang Rong stomped her feet, what a green Xiaorong, the royal brother also came to deliberately make fun of her! Dongfang Ke's two words made Dongfang Rong pick up the birdcage without hesitation, kneel down with Dongfang Ke, and say goodbye to Ruan Liuyan, she walked out of Chonghua Palace in a puff of smoke.

Seeing Dongfang Rong run away, Dongfang Ke withdrew his gaze. He did it on purpose, his sister was not teased, and she usually slipped away without saying two sentences, and let Ruan Liuyan go to the hall with her arm, Dongfang Ke's face was expressionless. He was going to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, but what blurted out became another sentence: "How is Concubine Ai's injury, how can you rest these days?" ”

"Back to the emperor, thanks to the emperor's blessing, it's much better."

Ruan Liuyan smiled, the emperor came at the right time. Originally, she was also going to look for him, but Princess Jiahe is gone, and she wants to seize this opportunity. "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to tell you."

Hearing this, Dongfang Ke's heart moved, and he looked at her sideways: "What's the matter, you say." ”

"It's about the old illness of the concubine, two days ago my mother came to the palace to see the concubine, and she told the concubine that her father had found a master who had refined the elixir for the concubine, and she would be able to send someone to the palace to retrieve it at the end of this month. The concubine wants to implore the emperor to send someone to help the concubine get medicine in the name of the emperor, but I wonder if the emperor can agree to the concubine? While speaking, observing Dongfang Ke's expression, Ruan Liuyan seemed to be true and false. She was poisoned, and now she has to make up this lie for the sake of the antidote, and now it depends on whether the emperor will be suspicious.

Dongfang Ke had already listened to Mo Xian's report before, and he already had some understanding of Ruan Liuyan's life experience and what happened in Yin Mansion before, and her appearance when she was "sick" last time was still in his mind, and now he has realized that Ruan Liuyan's last "illness" may not be so simple.

Ruan Liuyan's cautious and tentative tone was heard in his ears, which made him feel uncomfortable in his heart, and his heart was faintly restless. Was she afraid of him? Or beware of him? Either way, Dongfang Ke found that this was not what he wanted. After calming down, he raised his eyes with a smile, "Naturally, it's okay." Concubine Ai takes good care of her body, I will arrange it. ”

"Concubine, thank the emperor for his grace." Saying that, Ruan Liuyan was about to bow and thank him, but was stopped by Dongfang Ke, "Concubine Ai is polite, you don't need to get the word 'thanks' with me." Hearing this, Ruan Liuyan hurriedly said: "The concubine remembers." ”

Mingyue, who was waiting on the side, brought snacks and tea, and Ruan Liuyan got up to arrange it. When Mingyue retreated, Dongfang Ke asked after thinking about the words for a long time: "I heard that in order to show the closeness of husband and wife, the people call each other by each other's nicknames, what about the concubine?" Can there be a nickname or something? ”

"Nickname?" Ruan Liuyan repeated unconsciously, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Dongfang Ke staring at her, and the hand she put on her side not only pulled the corners of her clothes, "Concubine... If you have concubines, the emperor can call me smoke. After a little internal struggle, she still reported her real name. She and Yin Mansion, Jin Lin's mother and daughter have never looked at each other and hated each other, so naturally they didn't want to bear Yin Mingzhu's name.

Really.

At the moment when Ruan Liuyan said his name, everything was confirmed, and there was no need to even send someone to check it at all. Dongfang Ke's eyes darkened, and he asked casually, "Oh? Flowing smoke - is there any meaning to the nickname of Aifei? ”

"There is no point in going back to the emperor. It was the concubine who was born in the early morning of winter, and that day the fog was thick and the fog was hazy, and the mother casually gave the concubine a nickname. This explanation is true, Ruan Liuyan was indeed born in a foggy atmosphere, and Ruan stared at the deserted courtyard for a long time, and finally gave her this name.

"I see."

Dongfang Ke nodded, "I know." After that, if there is no one, I will call you to smoke, okay? Ruan Liuyan was naturally willing, her face was slightly ashamed, and she bowed her head and said: "But if the emperor likes it, the concubines have no objections." ”

With this well-behaved appearance in his eyes, Dongfang Ke's anger when he came has disappeared without a trace. Judging from the number of Yin Zhongxian's concubines eloping with others and concubines in this draft, the woman in front of her is one of the innocent ones. If you want to talk about who to ask for guilt, I'm afraid he should settle this account with Yin Zhongxian the most.

She's already his concubine, if she can... Before letting go, probably he could do it without pursuing her in the past. When he holds Yin Zhongxian's handle, no matter what the situation is, he will let this not affect her.

After making up his mind, Dongfang Ke found an excuse to leave Chonghua Palace.

Ruan Liuyan was a little surprised that the emperor was about to leave so soon, in the past, as long as Dongfang Ke came over, he usually left with lunch or dinner in Chonghua Palace, but this time he left without telling anyone, which made her not only a little worried.

Returning to the Qingxin Palace, Dongfang Ke took down the crimson narrow wooden box that had been placed in the corner of the bookcase in the study. When it was opened, there was a hairpin lying quietly inside, this is what Ruan Liuyan was looking for last time, and he has been here in Dongfang Ke since he sent Li Dezhao to get it.

Thinking of this, I don't know who carved it out and gave it to Ruan Liuyan, Dongfang Ke's face was gloomy. Li Dezhao was waiting outside the screen, Dongfang Ke called him in, threw the wooden box in his hand onto the wide desk, and said coldly: "Take this and find a place to throw it away." ”
