"What is my sister writing?" Zhaoyun heard that Liu Zhaoyi was favored last night, so he came to visit Liu Zhaoyi early this morning, but saw that Liu Zhaoyi was writing something on rice paper with a wolf brush, and joked with a smile, "Sister also wants to follow the empress to write some stories about ancient virtuous women?" ”

Liu Zhaoyi smiled sadly, Zhaoyun felt that something was wrong, so he stepped forward to take a look, but it was a poem, it was "Flowers Are Not Flowers" written by Bai Juyi, Zhaoyun read it out: "Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, come in the middle of the night, go in the morning." How long has it been like a spring dream? It seems that there is nowhere to find the clouds. Nian Yu sighed, and said: "Why should my sister make such sad words, it makes people sad in vain." ”

Liu Zhaoyi sighed leisurely: "Good things are short-lived, the emperor hasn't been to my palace for more than half a year, and he finally came once yesterday, and he got up and left before dawn." Sometimes I think about it, it's really not interesting to be in this harem. The emperor only came once in a few months, and he couldn't say a few words, and he left before dawn, leaving a thought for nothing. It's not good to come, and I'm completely dead, just keep this loneliness and live a life. ”

Zhaoyun always thought that Liu Zhaoyi was a hearty person, but today he suddenly saw Liu Zhaoyi making such sad words, and he felt a little sad. Liu Zhaoyi's thoughts can be realized at least once in a few months, and he has no thoughts about the emperor's favor, and the people he cares about are also unthinkable.

Liu Zhaoyi saw that Zhaoyun was contemplative and sad, and forced herself to laugh and said: "It's me who is not good, I made my sister sad, most of the harem women are like this, and I am just a couple of sentences in vain." Then he said: "Our lady concubine can be regarded as having survived now, although the number of times she has gone to bed is not much, but she has a child, so that the emperor will definitely be more pampered, and when she gives birth to a dragon son, she will be able to rely on it in this life." ”

Zhao Yun smiled gently: "Yes, Sister Shufei is also a blessed person in this deep palace." Naturally, Sister Liu doesn't have to be sad, maybe one day my sister is pregnant, and she will be the same as Sister Shufei. ”

Liu Zhaoyi smiled faintly: "I hope so." ”

Leaning on the Cloud Palace, Concubine Jin and Concubine Ming sat opposite each other. Concubine Jin took a sip of tea and asked lightly: "Sister, Concubine Shu has made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver, and now she is pregnant, the emperor is very fortunate to be very fond of her, what are your plans?" Concubine Ming blew away the heat escaping from the teacup, and said gently: "The tea is too hot, it's time to find a way to cool it down." After a pause, he said: "Concubine Shu has a maid next to her, named Luan Yu, her family is poor, and her brother is a showman, but he is not in an official position. My sister thinks it's time to help this maid. ”

Concubine Jin smiled more gently, and said, "It's so pitiful, I should help you." I also heard that Jieyu Xia and Shufei are very close, and often give Shufei some gadgets, if there are some unsightly things in it, I think Shufei is only afraid of negligence and will fall into the Xia family's tricks. ”

Concubine Ming smiled faintly and said: "It is Imperial Doctor Zhang who gave Concubine Shu a baby, Imperial Doctor Zhang's medical skills are excellent, and he will be able to protect Concubine Shu thoroughly." Although Concubine Ming's words were extremely gentle, her eyes were full of coldness.

Concubine Jin gently pulled off an eight-treasure golden jade hairpin on her head, and said leisurely: "This hairpin is really uncomfortable to wear, it is too bright, but it is an eyesore, but it is good to fall." With that, he threw the hairpin on the ground, and the hairpin instantly split in half.

Concubine Ming glanced at the broken hairpin on the ground, smiled leisurely, and said: "I heard that there was a case in the previous dynasty that implicated Concubine Ping's father, and the re-investigation of this case was instigated by the Xia family behind his back, sister, what will happen to Concubine Ping?" ”

Concubine Jin didn't say anything, just looked at Concubine Ming and smiled, and only said after a while: "It's overcast, it seems that a heavy rain is coming." ”

"Sister Shufei, you are pregnant, why don't you rest more and embroider this belly pocket again?" Zhaoyun and Liu Zhaoyi came to visit Concubine Shu together, but saw Concubine Shufei leaning on the chair with a belly pocket embroidered with a cloud pattern, Zhaoyun couldn't help but quip, "Sister Shufei, it's only been more than three months, and I'm so anxious to hold the child, can't I wait for a moment." ”

Concubine Shu took a sip and scolded with a smile: "You hoof, you don't have to say these nonsense words, it turns out that you are steady, but I didn't expect to make fun of people, and it is also a sharp mouth." ”

Liu Zhaoyi said: "It's nothing, my sister finally had a child, so she naturally cares, but don't be too tired of yourself." I see that the emperor has been very good to you recently, and the food and clothing should be of the highest quality. The queen also specially invited a cook to wait for her sister's diet, and even the nurse and mother were transferred to her sister's palace early to serve her sister, and her sister was so blessed. ”

Concubine Shu said shyly: "Don't say it, it's the same if my sister is pregnant." As he spoke, he said to Luan Yu: "What are you still doing here, hurry up and serve tea." Luan Yu went away.

Zhaoyun took out another purse, and said with a gentle smile: "It's the summer solstice, my sister is pregnant, it's inevitable to be irritable, I specially embroidered a purse, which is ground into powder with some fragrant petals, which is the most pleasant and calm, and my sister wears it on her body, which can also reduce some irritability." ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "My sister has a heart." How has the emperor treated his sister recently? ”

Zhaoyun said lightly: "It's still the same, I only see each other at most in January, and after a few words, I go again." However, in the past month, the emperor has come to visit his sister for five out of ten days, and he is very fond of his sister. ”

Concubine Shu sighed and said: "It stands to reason that my sister is beautiful and natural, both virtuous and artistic, I am afraid that the sons of those eunuchs also have people who appreciate and admire my sister." It's just that why does the emperor only pay a little respect to his sister and not favor him? ”

Liu Zhaoyi sighed leisurely: "Also, the emperor has summoned you into the harem, but he has left you aside, it is better not to enter the palace, but you can find a husband who is happy, meet him every day, and grow old together." ”

Zhaoyun hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say this, there are many people in the palace, if someone hears this and spreads it, won't it be in my sister's way." "I thought to myself in my heart: What Liu Zhaoyi said is reasonable, if I can not enter the palace, maybe my life is more comfortable now, and I can stay with my beloved, but it is difficult to disobey the holy order, what can I do. I entered the palace without favor, it is inevitable that it is not because of the identity of the daughter of Jiangmen, I am very good, and I can only accompany the queen every day and write "The Biography of the Virtuous Woman" to get by.

For a while, Luan Yu brought three cups of tea, Zhaoyun tasted it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's really a good tea, it's actually Junshan Silver Needle." Liu Zhaoyi also took a sip and said with a smile: "Really, there are few in this Junshan Silver Needle Tea Palace, only the emperor, the queen and the concubine Peace Palace have this kind of tea, and now my sister has also got this favor, but it is rare." ”

Zhaoyun said with a smile: "Junshan Silver Needle is native to Qingluo Island in Dongting Lake, Dongting Lake is vast, and it is inspired, Junshan Silver Needle tea is not only bright green in color, but also has a high and refreshing aroma; And the taste is mellow and sweet, and the soup is orange and yellow. It is a treasure in tea, and drinking this tea often not only clears the eyes and mind, but also benefits pregnant women in childbirth. It can be seen from the tea that the emperor loves his sister very much. ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "You know a lot, then I want to test you, you are so proficient in the tea ceremony, can you know a tea poem, the first sentence is only one word, two sentences and two words, three sentences and three words, until the seventh sentence, into a seven-word quatrain?" ”

Zhaoyun pondered for a moment, and said with a gentle smile: "Sister, this topic is difficult for me, this poem was written by Yuan Zhi in the Tang Dynasty, and the name of the poem is "Tea", why don't I and my sister say a word, how about it?" Liu Zhaoyi interjected: "I also know this poem, and I am counted as well." ”

Zhaoyun gently spat out a word: "Tea." Liu Zhaoyi said: "Bay leaves, young buds." Concubine Shu smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and said politely: "Mu Shike, love the monk's family." Zhaoyun continued: "Grinding and carving white jade, weaving red yarn. Liu Zhaoyi continued: "Cho fried astragalus, the bowl turned the dust flower." Concubine Shu said softly: "After the night, I invite Mingyue to accompany me, and I will be ordered to meet Chaoxia before the morning." ”

Speaking of this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Washing away the tirelessness of ancient and modern people, how can it be boasted when they are about to get drunk." ”

Zhaoyun said with a smile: "Yuan Zhen is talented, and he actually came up with such a good sentence, 'washing away the ancient and modern people are tireless', this sentence really writes all the taste of tea." Concubine Shu smiled: "But otherwise, I drank this tea and talked to you about it, but I was very tired." ”

Zhaoyun hurriedly said: "My sister is negligent, my sister is pregnant, so I shouldn't be tired, my sister will come to visit my sister another day." ”
