This drizzle made the Guhua Palace appear more empty and silent, the palace buildings were filled with water vapor in the thick shade of the grass and trees in early summer, and Concubine Rong sat listlessly behind the bead curtain in the cloud window fog pavilion, listening to the falling drizzle urging the flowers.

Xuezhu saw that since Concubine Rong knew that the emperor would bring the concubine into Changxin Palace, the whole person was like having a serious illness, not only did she not have energy, but she didn't even bother to speak. One day, in addition to reading a book, I was in a daze alone, and I couldn't go down the embroidery building.

In order to make Concubine Rong happier, Xuezhu asked for two white pheasants from the stable and placed them in the flower garden under Concubine Rong's window. In order to make Concubine Rong feel better, Xuezhu specially brought two palace maids to surround the white pheasants and feed them fresh cherries.

In order to make the two birds more active, Xuezhu and the others also threw cherries into the air to let the white birds fly and peck at them.

The white pheasant's feathers are gorgeous, the whole body is white, and it is called "dumb rui" because of its hoarse cry. "The Book of Birds" records that "like a pheasant and white, the line is leisurely", so among the five kinds of rare birds raised by Li Fang in the Song Dynasty, the white pheasant is called "idler".

Xuezhu knew that Concubine Rong had always loved white, and this precious ornamental bird should be able to suit her heart. But unexpectedly, Concubine Rong sat in front of the window, expressionlessly watching the two birds leisurely walking, snuggling affectionately, or fluttering their wings and leaping. There was no glimmer of joy in her eyes.

Xuezhu cautiously peeked at Concubine Rong's expression, and asked tentatively: "Niangniang, you have been bored upstairs for two days, you should also come down and take a walk, or you will get sick." ”

Concubine Rong looked at the two white pheasants and said faintly: "The white pheasant is shaped like a pigeon, and its tail can grow. Lonely and nostalgic for the stream, low back to love rice. The Tian family is better than chickens, and wild food is recommended. Kenxin Zhumenli, wandering to occupy Yutang. ”

Xuezhu didn't know what Concubine Rong meant, but since Niangniang opened her mouth, she liked these birds. So she raised her head happily and said, "Since Niangniang likes white birds, how about daring to ask the Southern Heir King and Hongguo Gong to bring back some fresh birds from the north that you have never seen before, and they all want to be white?" ”

Not to mention the king of Nanhei and the prince of Hongguo, as soon as she heard Xuezhu mention her father and brother, Concubine Rong's expression that had eased slightly became sad again.

"Don't face these two people in front of this palace again!" Concubine Rong coldly reproached: "The father and brother of this palace are not successful enough, and they are more than defeated. A good hand that must be won was played to the point that the whole game was lost. There is such a family in this palace, what hope is there and what hope is there? What else would they do besides turning good things into bad things? What else does Hongu rely on them? ”

Xuezhu's face was full of smiles, and she was driven away by Concubine Rong's temper. She lowered her head worriedly and said, "It's the slave who talks too much, and asks the mother to forgive her sins." ”

Concubine Rong looked at Xuezhu, bit her lip, and finally didn't punish her, just whispered, "It's good that you know, and you won't talk in the future." You have been following the main palace since you were a child, and you are also the same as in the previous house. If the father and brother of this palace were not short-sighted and talkative, why did the emperor treat them like this? ”

"Obviously, they have soldiers in their hands, but the emperor doesn't need them, and he makes a big detour to find the people of Chigu to help. In the end, the people of Akatani won the last battle, and all the credit was theirs, overshadowing my father and brother. Now the people of Chigu who have entered Beijing to receive the reward, and the lonely ones stationed in the north are the king of the south and the prince of Hongguo! ”

"This palace has long persuaded them, accept it when they see it, the emperor is a person who can be held hostage? They didn't listen, and finally came to this point, and they also hurt the palace! ”

Concubine Rong finally confided out the words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, although she was still a little angry, her expression was much more agile than just now.

Seeing this, Xuezhu waved her hand and asked the other two palace maids to lure the white bird to play elsewhere. I went to the kitchen to bring Concubine Rong a cup of tea to clear heat and nourish yin, which was fried with fresh green fruits and fresh bamboo shoots, plus some cooked honey.

Concubine Rong took a sip of the teacup, and then frowned: "What kind of earthy smell is this, and the aftertaste is so bitter." What about the original ginseng tea? Why did you change it to this without permission? You're also angry with the main palace, aren't you? ”

Xuezhu said with an aggrieved face: "Niangniang, although it is raining today, it is summer after all." Ginseng tea is hot, and drinking it in such weather is easy to breed fire in the heart. Although the green fruits and bamboo shoots have a bitter taste, they nourish the yin and remove the fire, and they are most suitable for use in this season. ”

Concubine Rong's phoenix eyes immediately glared: "Can't this palace even be the master of what kind of tea to use?" Father and brother can't point to it, and the emperor doesn't care, if the palace doesn't feel sorry for himself, who will take care of the palace? What's wrong with taking more supplements into this palace, and whose eyes are in the way? Why do you have to be sideways? Even such a trivial thing makes Hongu unhappy? ”

Xuezhu lowered her head and listened to Concubine Rong's angry voice, and said with difficulty: "It's the slave who deserves to die." The slave will give you a change for ginseng tea. ”

Concubine Rong was angry, only to feel that her body was even hotter, and she waved her hand impatiently: "Don't worry about these little things yet." Yesterday, I asked you to send someone to inquire about the affairs in the palace, but there is news back. ”

Xuezhu let out a sigh of relief, and her heart suddenly relaxed, and she secretly thought, "I finally have to say something to make Concubine Rong happy." ”

She cleared her throat and said, "According to the eunuch who patrolled the Changxin Palace at night, the emperor issued several decrees yesterday to send the concubine to the Changxin Palace, and it seems that the concubine is quite unwilling. When I arrived in Changxin Palace, I was not very happy, and when I saw the emperor, I didn't have much happy expression on my face. ”

Concubine Rong's eyebrows raised in surprise, as if she didn't believe her ears: "Hasn't she always advertised that she has a deep love for the emperor?" What's going on? But something happened between the two? ”

Xuezhu said with joy on her face: "It may be that they haven't been together for a long time, and there is a gap in their hearts, and it is unknown." ”

Concubine Rong didn't immediately agree, but asked eagerly, "What happened later?" Emperor...... But lucky her? ”

"Nope!" Xuezhu deliberately raised her voice.

Concubine Rong pursed her mouth and smiled unconsciously.

"Listening to the eunuch, the emperor just took a piano and let the concubine stroke it for a while, and neither of them said anything during this period. Then the emperor accompanied the concubine back to the palace, and did not enter the concubine's room, but only went to the door and went back to the main hall by himself. "Snow beads.

Concubine Rong already had a happy face, but at this time it was cloudy and uncertain. Her hands were tearing at the blue and blue plain veil in her hand, and her eyes were rolling around. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "What about this morning?" The emperor went directly to the court? ”
