The bright sunlight shines through the mullioned window near the hall, the fine dust flies in the sun, the beautiful and vulgar girl, the whole person is bathed in the warm summer sunshine, the crystal warm skin presents a translucent texture in the sun, like a jade beauty carved from the best jade.

In the face of such an eye-catching jade beauty, Princess Zhu of Zhou was very uncomfortable, she tried her best to maintain her dignified and calm attitude, "The concubine Yu Tea did not have much research, which made the princess smile." ”

Although Su Yan has never been a loser, he will not grasp people's mistakes one by one. She pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes fell on the sunny outdoors, and decided not to stay in the hall, she happily invited the guests: "Two sisters-in-law, the back garden of the East Palace is full of flowers, why don't you take a trip with me?" ”

Zhu had prepared a long speech to advise him, and how to be willing to move from the palace to the garden, it would be too lax to talk about the atmosphere. She stood up, made a big bow in a dignified manner, and said in a solemn tone: "Crown princess, the courtiers have something to persuade you." ”

Su Rong came to the East Palace today, first, to see his newlywed cousin and get close to Su Yan, who is already the crown princess; The second is that I want to sue Su Yan for one thing, which can be regarded as selling Su Yan. She didn't expect that she would meet the Zhu family in the East Palace, and the Zhu family still came prepared, looking at her style, it was stricter than the imperial history of the court. Su Rong had experienced his previous life, and although he couldn't completely guess what the Zhu family was going to say, it was probably no problem.

She planned to be a good person to the end, and stopped her: "The third sister-in-law is all good, but it's too strict." We are all a family, and it is good to be happy. Yo, I smelled the plum fragrance when I just entered the palace, but it was newly made by the crown princess. By the way, he got up, pulled Zhu's hand, and pushed her to the chair to sit down.

Su Yan smiled and pointed to the plum cyan double dragon ear lion foot incense burner next to him, "The sixth sister-in-law will know if you look at it." ”

Su Rong got up curiously, lifted the button of the incense burner, lowered his eyes and looked in, and saw that on the silver flameproof board in the incense burner, dozens of plum blossoms were faintly exuding their fragrance. Su Rong was very surprised, it was actually a real plum blossom, which was only two-thirds of the way in full bloom, and he could still see the tender yellow stamens in it. She pointed to the incense burner and asked very curiously: "Princess, how is this plum blossom similar to that of the one you picked, and how is it collected." "Su Rong, who has never liked incense, wants to learn and use natural fragrant flowers to incense, which is much better than those incense pills and incense cakes.

Su Yan didn't hide his selfishness, and carefully instructed: "As long as the half-opened flowers are picked, accompanied by ripe honey, and then sealed in a porcelain jar, buried deep in the ground, and the incense will be fine for a month." When you are ready to use, take some out and put them on the flameproof board in the incense burner, and slowly roast them, and the aroma will come out. It's just that this incense has a time limit, and when the flowers are fully opened, the fragrance is gone. ”

"This method is novel, I'll give it a try." Su Rong stroked his palms and smiled, "But all flowers, can do this?" ”

Su Yan nodded, "But it is more suitable for those who are quiet with fragrance, this kind of incense is originally a plausible interest, if the fragrance is too strong, it will lose its meaning." But ......," she said, winking playfully, "everyone has their own loves, and what they like is the best, and this incense is the same, and it doesn't have to be confined to the format." ”

Su Rong smiled and nodded, "I'll go back and make some cloves." "The lilac flowers are fragrant, but Su Rong likes it very much, and every year he will dry many dried flowers to make sachets.

Su Rong talked about some of his tips on skin care, "Use the flower dew steamed with roses to wipe the body and apply to the face, which is fragrant and pleasant, and moisturizes the skin." Especially in spring, when you apply it several times a day, your face is very tender, and you can eat the powder. Su Yan unreservedly told her a way to make incense, and Su Rong also took the blame for Li and gave her a skin care method.

She had already made up her mind that before the crown prince was deposed, she would have a good relationship with Su Yan. As for the husband, he doesn't have to be too close to the prince.

Zhu listened to the sisters chatting happily, his eyebrows furrowed more and more, and when he found that she didn't open his mouth again, the two of them seemed to have forgotten that she was a person. She coughed lightly, and after drawing Su Yan's and Su Rong's eyes to herself, she straightened her back and said solemnly: "Crown Princess, the courtiers have a saying, they have endured for many days, and after thinking about it repeatedly, they are determined to boldly admonish you." ”

The Zhu family was so solemn, and Su Yan was not easy to be rash, so he sat up straight, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, please speak." ”

"Crown Princess, you are the future queen, you should be a model of Confucianism in the world, you should be righteous in words and deeds, and respect etiquette. In ancient times, a sage once said that women have four elements, one is women's virtue, the second is women's words, the third is women's appearance, and the fourth is women's merit. Husband Yun women's virtue, you don't have to be talented, you don't have to be different, you ......" Zhu spoke at length, expressing his opinions directly, enough to say that he had been enough for most of the hour. The central meaning is one, Su Yan is above the palace banquet, her demeanor is frivolous, and she does not have the dignified and virtuous demeanor of the crown princess. The most excessive thing is that when the prince's words and deeds were wrong, she did not stop it in time, and even went along with it, which is simply a dereliction of duty.

Su Rong saw that the more Zhu Shi spoke, the more he spoke, and he had a tendency to stop, he laughed twice, and stopped: "Third sister-in-law, the prince and the princess are still newly married, and it is normal to be close, how can you be so strict as you said." ”

Zhu Shi glared at Su Rong coldly, "In front of everyone's eyes, words and deeds are frivolous, of course, strict." She has always felt that the little ladies of the Yasukuni Mansion are very unruly in their words and deeds, but these two have become her concubines.

After stabbing Su Rong here, Zhu turned his head and said to Su Yan sternly: "I hope that the crown princess will always reflect on herself and correct her words and deeds." After speaking, he bowed again and sat back in his place.

After Zhu finished speaking, Su Yan still sat quietly and did not make a sound. Su Rong raised her eyes and looked at Su Yan, and saw that she was holding a tea cup that had rained through the sky, and the more she looked like snow, her slender ten fingers, and her fragrance was like jade. Su Rong didn't check for a while, and looked at Su Yan's hand in a daze, completely forgetting what he wanted to say.

The palace has been silent since Princess Zhu of Zhou gave an impassioned admonition to Su Yan just now. Sitting on the top Su Yan, her sitting posture has already changed, she is half-leaning on the hidden sac, lowering her head slightly, and tasting the tea in her hand. That elegance and calmness were not affected by what Zhu said at all.

Princess Zhu of Zhou, as if she had finished vomiting the depression in her heart, swept away the Yan sù just now, calmed down, and took a sip of tea.

The palace women who were waiting in the palace were beating drums in their hearts, for fear that Su Yan would sulk and anger herself. Thinking of the crown prince's treasure to the crown princess, when he comes back, it is hard to guarantee that he will not anger them for this. The palace people quietly saw that Princess Zhou's eyes were tingling, and they couldn't wait to go up and smack her. The crown prince and the princess have a good relationship, are you jealous? Even this one.

Su Yan has been silent, and Zhu is a little uncertain in her heart, she raised her eyes to look at Su Yan, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "The crown princess, what the courtiers said is from the bottom of her heart. ”

Su Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu at this time, and his deep gaze made Zhu's heart tremble, and he looked back calmly.

"Princess Zhou, Shicai's words are really thought-provoking." Su Yan evoked a shallow smile, "It's just that how this palace and the prince get along is our husband and wife's own business." ”

Zhu said eloquently: "The Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs. ”

Su Yanyan chuckled lightly, her tone was soft, and she spoke unhurriedly, "Princess Zhou said carefully, her father is still here, and the palace and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't afford to be the princess." ", what do you mean that the Son of Heaven is selfless, do you have nothing to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts? Do you dare to casually talk about the emperor's hobbies?

Zhu was in a hurry and made a mistake, and was directly pointed out by Su Yan, and the noodles were swollen red at that time.

Su Yan didn't plan to let her go so lightly, "Princess Zhou is so polite, she must also know the truth of not listening to and not looking at indecent things." When you talk about others, the head is coming, why do you forget it when it's your turn? Moreover, how about this palace, there is the advice of the lady and the official of the secretary, and the father and the emperor have made it clear that it has little to do with Princess Zhou, right? "If you hadn't kept staring at me and the prince, would you have known that we were too intimate and acting frivolously?" By the way, this palace often hears His Royal Highness mention that King Zhou You likes to brew the Ming Dynasty Longjing with Hupao Spring. Princess Zhou is so virtuous, she must have been advised a long time ago? ”

"By the way, yesterday morning in this palace, I saw Concubine De dancing for her father in the imperial garden, presumably Princess Zhou also advised?" She deliberately accented the two words in the morning, and stared at Zhu's purple face with a smile. If you want to take care of me, take care of your mother-in-law first, and let her not charm the monarch and waste the government.

Su Yan saw Zhu's hand clenched tightly, her eyes fell on the outside of the hall, and she got up lightly, "Princess Zhou will think about it when she returns to the house, and the palace will not keep you much." After speaking, he took the hand of the palace maid who was close to him, and went directly back to the inner hall, throwing both the Zhu family and Su Rong there.

Mu Lan and Hua Rong had cold faces, and stretched out their hands to the Zhu family and Su Rong, "The two princesses, please." "This Princess Zhou, in the future, she will have to be included in the list of people who refuse to come and go. It's okay to be idle, come here to educate the crown princess for a big call, and don't see if you have this qualification. Our princess and the prince have a good relationship, and the saints have not spoken out, is it your turn to come out?

The Zhu family and Su Rong were almost driven out of the East Palace by the palace maids and eunuchs. Outside the palace gate, Zhu Shi had a straight face, looking back at the East Palace, his eyes were deep.

Su Rong, who was implicated, sneered: "I'm waiting for the third sister-in-law to persuade Concubine De Niangniang, don't confuse the saint." After speaking, she helped the maid's hand into the carriage and ordered: "Go home." ”

Zhu's face turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and also boarded his carriage and slowly drove away from the East Palace.

In the Lizheng Palace, Su Yan, who was driven to the house to educate him in person, was in a very bad mood. She pouted and nestled on the soft couch, slammed the pillow in her arms a few times, and snorted angrily, "It's all to blame on Qilang!" If it weren't for the fact that he always secretly changed her cup with a dead face, and liked to coerce her bowl to eat, how could Zhu find a reason to discipline her.

Mu Lan brought a cup of fragrant flower ripe water mixed with honey and came over, "Lady, moisten your mouth." ”

Banxia was straightforward and said crisply: "Lady, you don't have to be angry with that kind of person, she is just jealous of His Royal Highness the Prince's treatment of you." ”

As a girl with a wide range of hobbies and a clear mind, Su Yan has never been angry for too long, and she knows how to regulate her mood here. Lowering his eyes and looking at the newly changed dress, Yaxing, who had been interrupted by the flowers, dyed it again, and Su Yan got up from the soft couch, "Bring your things, let's go to the back garden." ”

In the back garden of the East Palace, the green grass is like sprouting, the flowers are like brocade, a gust of breeze blows, and the fragrance is in the heart. Facing the purple and red in the garden, Su Yan put aside the depressed mood just now, and took the palace maids to shuttle, happy and forgetful.

The prince was thinking about the lunch appointment with his beloved wife, and as soon as the time came, he returned from the Taiji Palace, leaving the emperor behind him, which caused the emperor to jump to his feet and scold: "Unfilial son!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who hurried back to the East Palace, turned around the inside and outside of the Lizheng Palace, but he didn't find his family Qingqing's figure, and he couldn't help but have a cold face.

Li Ping stepped forward calmly and saluted, "Your Highness, the lady invites you to meet in the back garden." ”

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, he waved his hand casually, and led the people straight to the back garden. In front of the rose wall where the two lingered yesterday, I finally saw his beloved wife who had been remembering all morning.

"Yan Yan." The prince jumped to Su Yan's side in a few steps, his hand automatically and spontaneously wrapped around her slender waist, and kissed her on her red lips lovingly, "Do you miss me?" ”

Su Yan was entangled for a moment, "I think." "Anger is also a kind of thinking. She gently pulled the prince's hand, raised her little face and asked, "Qilang, shall we have dinner in the garden today?" ”

"Okay." The prince nodded happily, and pulled Su Yan to the pavilion in front of him with his backhand. "Don't get too close to the flowers, just go to the pavilion over there."

After a sweet lunch, take a beautiful nap with your beloved wife, life is just like that. When the prince got up, Su Yan was still asleep, his delicate little face was dyed with a light layer of rouge, and his ruddy cherry lips pursed slightly. The prince slowly leaned down and kissed the pink jade cheek, then tiptoed out of bed, quietly out of the inner hall, and then changed his clothes and freshened up.

Before he left, he also carefully told Mu Lan and a few people, "Let people move quietly, don't disturb the crown princess." ”

"Yes."

The prince was really busy today, and after the order, he hurried to the Taiji Palace with people.

Su Yan slept until she woke up naturally, and when she got up, she was still a little confused, and she didn't feel good until she finished changing clothes and washing.

"Huarong, when is it?" She only felt that she had slept for a long time today, as if she was going to make up for the lack of sleep in the previous few days.

Hua Rongzheng was leading someone to make the quilt, and said with a smile: "Lady, it's already time to apply." ”

"Yo, I'm late today." Su Yan thought that there were still a lot of things to be done today, patted his forehead, and said with a slight complaint, "Why don't you call me." ”

Banxia said: "Before His Highness left, he specially told us not to disturb your rest. There was a hint of envy in her words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so good to the Crown Princess.

Mu Lan glanced at Banxia and said softly: "Lady, Chief Ping is asking to see you outside the hall." ”

"Let him in." Su Yan finally looked at the mirror for a while, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he stepped out of the inner hall.

Li Ping had already been waiting outside the hall, and as soon as he saw Mu Lan come out, he hurriedly asked, "Female Officer Li, has the lady gotten up?" ”

Mu Lan smiled: "Manager Ping, the lady will let you in." ”

Li Ping arched his hand at Mu Lan, "There is a female official Lao Li." ”

Li Ping followed behind Mu Lan, entered the hall, saluted Su Yan first, and then said: "Lady, when His Royal Highness came back today, Li An told the old slave that Concubine Wei was sick. The sage allowed the five ladies of the Wei family to accompany them in the palace. ”

As the concubine Wei who raised the emperor, although she did not have a biological son, she was still relatively comfortable. Regardless of whether the emperor is putting on a show or making a name for himself, in short, he has always been respectful to Concubine Wei. In the imperial palace, with the attention of the emperor, you can live well.

Since the first emperor left, for so many years, Concubine Wei's body has always been strong, except for the occasional wind and cold in the past few years, there have been no major illnesses and disasters. This time, she fell ill a few days after the prince got married, and she deliberately brought her niece into the palace to accompany her. However, presumably the emperor also meant this, otherwise he would not have been allowed.

After Li Ping finished speaking, he quietly lowered his eyes and stood solemnly, waiting for Su Yan's command. In Li Ping's opinion, the crown princess must ask, "Does the prince also know about this?" But the crown princess only said "oh" softly, indicating that she knew.

Su Yan thought of Su Rong's visit today, and he must have come to sue him about this. She suddenly felt a little sorry, because the Zhu family had annoyed her, so she invited Su Rong out of the East Palace with her. Hmm, pick up some things and send them to King Wu's mansion tomorrow as her gifts.

"Mu Lan, make a list, I'll go to visit the concubine tomorrow." Su Yan commanded casually.

"Yes."

Li Ping quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the crown princess above, and said in his heart: This is the end?

Isn't that the end, Su Yan didn't take Wei Wuniang seriously at all, didn't she just go into the palace to serve and accompany Concubine Wei, and she could still be idle and sneak to Taiji Palace or go to the front court.

On the morning of the second day, after breakfast, the young couple set off from the East Palace together. The crown prince then went to the Taiji Palace to receive pre-service training from the emperor. Su Yan took a group of palace people, holding gifts, and walked to Funing Palace.

At this time, the Funing Palace is very lively, since yesterday it was reported that Concubine Wei was not safe, and the emperor visited in person, the concubines in the palace all brought things to visit the sick early, and even several princesses outside the palace also brought people into the palace early in the morning, and followed their respective mothers-in-law over. In contrast, Su Yan should have been the latest to arrive.

"The crown princess has arrived." The eunuch's sharp voice floated in the sky above Funing Palace, and the picture of harmony in the palace was dissolved, and the four concubines were a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Wei, who was half-lying on the bed, kindly patted Wei Wuniang's hand, "Wuniang, welcome the crown princess for my aunt and grandmother." ”

Wei Wuniang was deeply blessed, "Yes." ”

Different from the palace banquet set up by the saint on the second day of the wedding, today's harem concubines do not need to go to the palace gate to greet the crown princess, they only need to get up and salute when Su Yan enters the palace.

Wei Wuniang also saluted with the palace concubines, but she had no grade, and she was like the palace people in the palace, so she had to pay a big salute.

"Hello concubines." Su Yan politely owed, and went straight past Wei Wuniang, who was kneeling at his feet, and went straight to the inner hall.

Wei Wuniang was so embarrassed that her face turned red, she reluctantly got up, and walked unsteadily towards the hall. She didn't expect that Su Yan would be in the Funing Palace and give her no face directly.

The four concubines glanced at each other, pursed their lips and smiled, and followed into the inner hall. It seems that the crown princess is also a little anxious.

Su Yan was introduced into the inner hall by the palace people, and when she saw Concubine Wei half-lying on the bed, she said with a smile: "The concubine is fine." ”

Concubine Wei had a cloth towel wrapped around her head, and she didn't apply fat powder, showing her old state. She smiled weakly, beckoned to Su Yan, and said kindly: "The crown princess is here, come and sit." Her eyes inadvertently swept over the stool next to the bed, as if motioning for Su Yan to sit closer.

Su Yan didn't seem to understand Concubine Wei's hint, so she sat down directly on the mahogany chair under the north wall of the hall, and asked with concern, "What did the imperial doctor say?" Can you be so sick that you can be serious? ”

Concubine Wei smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, it's also my fault, because the moon was excellent that night, I was greedy, and I got up a little cold in the morning, and I didn't take it seriously." Who knows, dragging and dragging, the disease will be very sick. ”

"This disease can't be delayed, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to treat." Concubine Xian said busily.

Concubine Wei said: "Who said it wasn't." That's right. She turned her head and beckoned to Wei Wuniang, who was standing on the side, "Wu Niang come here, I've seen the crown princess." He smiled at Su Yan again: "Crown Princess, this is my niece and granddaughter." By the grace of the saints, he came to the palace to accompany me. Come to think of it, the crown princess hasn't seen my niece and granddaughter yet. ”

Wei Wuniang's willow waist swayed lightly, came to Su Yan's side, and saluted with a dignified posture, "The courtiers have seen the crown princess." ”

"Flat." Su Yan raised his hand. She didn't go to see Wei Wuniang, but said to Concubine Wei: "More than two years ago, I took the post of the fifth sister-in-law and went to the Wei Mansion for a banquet, and I saw your five ladies once. ”

Concubine Wei said with a smile: "The crown princess has a good memory, and anyone who met it once a few years ago can remember it." ”

"My memory is always good." Su Yan had something to say.

Concubine Wei and Wei Wuniang's hearts trembled, they hadn't forgotten that the Wei family had offended Su Yan more than once.

At this time, Wei Liuniang arrived, and as soon as she entered the inner hall, she threw herself directly to Concubine Wei's bedside, "Grandmother, how are you?" ”

Concubine Wei's face changed, "Who asked you to come, get out quickly." ”

"Auntie!" Wei Liuniang flattened her mouth and refused to move anything.

Concubine Wei could only coax her, "Be obedient, your body is important, don't get sick, it's not good for the child." When Concubine Wei said this, the eyes of the people in the palace fell on Wei Liuniang and Xu Zhaoyuan.
