Concubine Min asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Makika lowered her eyes: "The Queen Mother seems to be interested in finding some newcomers for the emperor, one of them may be the daughter of the Mei family in the capital, Mei Xue Shen." ”

Without waiting for Concubine Min to ask again, she hurriedly retired. If she doesn't return by waiting for the palace gate, it should make people suspicious. Before leaving, she couldn't help but secretly look at Concubine Min's face, although the light was very dim, she could also see the hatred surging up in Concubine Min's eyes, like this gloomy night, completely engulfing her.

August 15, is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, this time caught up with the little prince's full moon wine, Chengqing Palace for a while, the guests come and go in an endless stream.

Hearing that Qiyue and Jing Yi were also going to say hello to the queen, Jingyu couldn't bear it, so she invited the queen mother and insisted on pulling Ah Yuan to join in the fun with him. Ah Yuan couldn't resist him, and thought that maybe he could meet his sister in Chengqing Palace, so he happily went. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, he heard Qiyue's chic laughter from the noisy crowd: "Call Auntie, Auntie!" ”

The queen was dressed in a red quadruple moire woven gold makeup gauze dress, and sat on the couch with Chonghui in her arms, her eyes full of gentle smiles. She has just come out of confinement, and her body is still a little blessed, looking more and more amiable, and her whole body exudes the brilliance of motherhood. When he saw Jingyu coming in, he smiled and said, "The fourth brother is also here." ”

Jingyu saw that the swaddling clothes were tied with a bright yellow ribbon, and the baby inside was wearing a tiger head hat inlaid with Dongzhu, and was sleeping peacefully. Jingyu looked at it for a while, and said in a daze: "They said that there is my eldest nephew here." As soon as he finished speaking, the guests in the room laughed, and the queen laughed out loud.

Qiyue ran over and said, "It's also my eldest nephew." He went to tease the little prince's face again, "Call your aunt quickly, and your aunt will give you candy to eat." Auntie-aunt-"

Xunjun Wang Jingyi originally accompanied the concubine to talk, and also teased her at this time: "You are not a hen, what is your name." ”

Qiyue turned her head to glare at him, and coldly rushed over and stepped on him hard.

"Ouch-" Jing Yi pretended to cry out in pain, and smiled at Concubine Yugui: "Mother concubine, look at her, she is so lawless, even her brother dares to fight." ”

Concubine Yugui grimaced slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Yue'er! ”

Qiyue grimaced and continued to tease the little prince.

The hall was crowded with people, and it was very lively, and after a while, Jingyu also went to play with Qiyue. Ah Yuan has nothing to do, and it is in the way of squeezing inside, so he wants to go to the courtyard to breathe. As soon as the front foot left the palace gate, he heard the eunuch at the door shouting: "Yuntai Palace Lan Concubine came to congratulate!" ”

She was taken aback, if it was according to Yang Muzhi's previous temperament, she would definitely not appear on such an occasion, at most she would go to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to show her face. At this moment, he is willing to devote himself to human affairs and mundane affairs, could it be that Bai's persuasion has played a role?

The two hadn't seen each other for about three months, and Ah Yuan stopped her under the porch, and she didn't know where to start with a lot of words in her heart: "My sister is here too." ”

Yang Muzhi stopped and looked at her with a smile: "Ah Yuan seems to have grown a lot taller." ”

Ah Yuan smiled: "My sister is used to deceiving people, she is fifteen years old, where will she grow!" ”

The two sisters didn't say a few words, but they saw Rushuang looking strange on the side, as if they were not very happy. Just wanted to ask her, and Yurong, the big palace maid beside the queen, went back and forth: "Niangniang, please sit in the little master Lan." Yang Muzhi promised to follow her into the palace to see her, and Ah Yuan had to go to the courtyard by himself for a few steps.

As he was walking, he heard a familiar voice behind the rockery: "The petals of this gardenia white are slender and drooping, and the inner circle is a little yellow, which is called a jade feather tube; The one with the same color, but the petals are closed, is the Yaotai jade phoenix. ”

Another person's voice was clear and bright, it was Jing Yi: "What about this plant?" ”

The little eunuch replied: "This plant is very rare, the slave used to have some friendship with the father-in-law of the flower and herb house, I heard that this green chrysanthemum is rare, the common is only green peony, green cloud and the like, like this kind of flower flowers, green petals like willows, there is a unique name, called 'jasper makeup into a tree high'." ”

Jing Yi laughed loudly: "What a 'jasper makeup made into a tree high'!" Manager Zu, your little apprentice knows a lot! ”

Zu Cheng sneered: "Where is it, the king of Xunjun is too famous." Who in the palace doesn't know, King Xunjun, you are an expert in appreciating flowers, this kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he actually got an axe in front of you. ”

The little eunuch said aggrievedly: "It was the king of Xunjun who asked the slave......

Ah Yuan hid behind the rockery, and through the stone cave, she could see the flowers and shadows in the garden, but she saw the little eunuch standing beside Zu Cheng, with slender eyebrows and eyes, and a round face, wasn't it the stone spring that had been with her in Luanqing Palace for two years! I haven't seen him for half a year, but he followed his grandfather and became a person in front of the emperor?

Suddenly, a palm put on her right shoulder: "What are you hiding here?" The man deliberately lowered his voice, making it even more deep and deep.

Ah Yuan turned his head and bumped head-on into the placket of the man's clothes, which was made of stone blue and gold, and was embroidered with a dragon with teeth and claws. Her heart jumped, and she hurriedly curtsied: "Emperor...... Emperor! ”

Jingzhen said: "Are you looking at my eighth brother?" ”

Ah Yuan's face was slightly red: "Slave maid, slave maid is looking at flowers, chrysanthemums, green ...... Green. ”

He nodded: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has cultivated a lot of new varieties recently, and the queen has always loved chrysanthemums, so she sent them all over." He paused, "The eighth brother is also an expert in tasting flowers. ”

Ah Yuan smiled and asked casually, "Doesn't the emperor like to enjoy flowers?" ”

Jing Zhen was noncommittal, looked away and asked her, "Have you ever heard a poem?" 'The rich and noble are high and flawless, and the master is empty to see the flowers. ’”

Ah Yuan thought for a while and said: "This is reasonable, the flowers raised in the palace are good-looking, but they lack some vitality." It would be a pity if a good flower loses its natural appearance. ”

The smile on the corner of Jing Zhen's mouth froze: "Your sister used to think the same way, so her Yuntai Palace never asked people to plant flowers." ”

Ah Yuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The slave maid lost her words. She pondered for a while and said: "But the palace may not be unable to raise good flowers, just like these chrysanthemums given by the emperor to the queen's mother, as long as the people who raise flowers are willing to cultivate them with their hearts, and the people who appreciate the flowers understand the true interest, it is also a beautiful thing." ”

Jing Zhen looked at her with a smile and said, "You are very similar to your sister, but you are different." ”

Ah Yuan was a little embarrassed by his staring, only to feel a slight heat on the back of his neck, and wanted to ask him what was different, but he couldn't ask, so he had to say: "Sister just went to the palace, won't the emperor go in to see her?" ”

Jing Zhen looked at the main hall of Chengqing Palace, his eyes became darker and darker, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "I still have important matters to discuss with King Xunjun, so I won't go." After speaking, he left with his hands in his hands, leaving Ah Yuan still in place, as if he was choked, and he couldn't tell the feeling. After all, the emperor is the emperor, and after repeated setbacks and defeats, how can he let go of his figure and ask others for favor again and again? I don't know when my sister will really let go of the past and face up to the man in front of her who has a deep affection for her.

was stunned, and a sneer came from his ears: "I said why I haven't seen you come to visit Miss for a few months, it turns out that you also have a ghost in your heart, and you have such a mind!" ”

Ah Yuan looked up in surprise and saw the woman in green with angry eyebrows not far away, and couldn't help but say dumbly: "Like frost ......"

Rushuang took a few steps closer to her, pointed in the direction of the emperor's departure, and said, "Farewell for a few months, is this what you want?" ”

Ah Yuan was puzzled: "Rushuang, what are you talking about?" ”

Rushuang was so angry that the whole person trembled slightly, dragged her arm, and asked her: "What did I say, don't you know?" I just saw you and the emperor eyebrows, what kind of heart do you have, you came to ask me? ”

When Ah Yuan was a child, he often quarreled with her, knowing that she was at stake, and she was an unforgiving character, but at this time she suddenly became difficult, but Ah Yuan was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly said: "Rushuang, you misunderstood." The emperor was just passing by......"

"Did I misunderstand?" Rushuang raised her eyebrows, didn't listen to her explanation, and grabbed Bai Dao, "When Miss was sick, I heard that you were waiting for the emperor to come every day in the Queen Mother's palace, as long as you saw the emperor, you couldn't wait for the whole person to be pasted, this is also my misunderstanding?" Let me ask you, where were you all when Miss was sick? Later, the emperor survived Caifu overnight, and the young lady was humiliated, where are you? When the young lady was in the limelight, she risked her life to save you, but now she is in trouble, but you ignore it. Thanks to Miss for finding so many excuses for you, it turns out that you are also the same as that slut in Caifu, and you want to take advantage of this opportunity to seduce the emperor! ”

She crackled and scolded like pouring beans, Ah Yuan only felt shocked and inexplicable, she was not a master who swallowed her anger, and couldn't hold back: "Where did you hear these nonsense!" I met the emperor once in Changning Palace, and I also persuaded him to invite his wife into the palace to see his sister, when did he ...... When do you want to ......" she couldn't say the word "seduce", so she had to say, "When should you deliberately approach the emperor?" It doesn't matter if others talk about it, you grew up with me since you were a child, how can you listen to those nonsense? If someone is deliberately provoking, and you go to your sister to chew these tongues, won't it make her even more sad? ”

Rushuang sneered a few times and said, "I don't care what others say, but today I saw it with my own eyes." What did the emperor say to you, and it made you blush? ”

Ah Yuan was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say it again, but found that he really didn't know how to speak. The emperor's comparison between her and her sister, no matter how she relayed it, would probably dislike her when she heard it in Rushuang's ears. It's just that he has the heart of his fist, but he is so misunderstood by people close to him, and he has all kinds of feelings in his heart for a while, and he is sour, and he only said: "My sister treats me like a mountain, and Ah Ruan will not dare to forget it for a moment, let alone think about it." Like frost, please believe me, I ......"

"Sister Bodhisattva!"

Before she finished her sentence, she saw Jingyu carrying a food box from afar, jumping up and running towards her, and laughter rang all the way: "Sister Bodhisattva, let me find you!" ”

Ah Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "What makes you so anxious, be careful of falling!" ”

Jingyu wiped the cake crumbs on his mouth, excitedly lifted the food box, and said, "Look, the moon cakes that the queen mother appreciated, Yu'er came to eat with my sister!" ”
