It is said that Chai Guifei and others stayed in Zhaoyang Palace for about half an hour and then left together, full of spring palace willows, especially the willows around Zhaoyang Palace, I heard that it was Taizong's Huaizhen Xiao Empress Xiao's small character new willow, and so she stayed in Zhaoyang Palace after Taizong ordered people to plant more willows around him, and now decades have passed, the tender willows of the year are now tall and sunny.

Chai Guifei folded the willow branch and held it in the palm of her hand, and Pan Guifei on the side asked after seeing it; "The noble concubine Niangniang folded the willow, but she wants to tell the concubine and Sister Cao that the emperor should always stay by her side?"

Hearing this, Chai Ruiling was slightly stunned, "What does Sister Pan mean by this?" ”

Cao Guifei hurriedly explained; "The concubine Niangniang doesn't know, this willow and stay is homophonic, in our Central Plains more willow to express their intention to stay in the king, Niangniang is the time to be favored, to the willow to pray for the grace of the willow is also common, Sister Pan does not need to make a fuss."

Chai Ruiling suddenly realized, "It turns out that this is the willow tree, after my father asked me to be kind, I specially invited a gentleman from the Central Plains to teach me to speak the Central Plains dialect, learn the poetry and etiquette of the Central Plains, the willow I have seen in the poems, the willow is green and the river is level, and I hear the singing sound of the Lang River." ”

"This poem can be memorized by five or six-year-old children in our Central Plains." Pan Guifei first pouted at Chai Ruiling and then said with great disdain, and then took Jin Zhi and other maids away.

Looking at Pan Saihua's distant back, Chai Ruiling was stunned for a long time, "Today's wind and sun are beautiful, the concubine will accompany the concubine Niangniang to the imperial garden for a walk, and also familiarize yourself with the harem environment." Cao Shi whispered softly beside Chai Ruiling.

Chai Ruiling pondered for a moment and nodded, and took the initiative to take Cao's hand, "With Sister Cao to accompany Ruiling, I can't ask for it." ’

Chai Ruiling felt Cao's kindness, so she did not refuse her enthusiasm.

Cao Shi accompanied Chai back and slowly walked to the imperial garden, facing the picturesque spring in the garden, Chai Ruiling couldn't help but indulge in it, "It's so beautiful." ”

For Chai Ruiling's exclamation, Cao's seemed very ordinary, she broke off a branch of magnolia flowers and sent it to Chai Ruiling's hand, "I found Mo Shanghua like brocade, the first branch of the east wind, the first branch of magnolia flowers of the concubine Niangniang to you, may Niangniang Chun En always be there." ”

Chai Ruiling smiled and took the magnolia flower and put it on the cloud temples, and then held Cao's hand and said sincerely; "Thank you, Sister Cao, I have been in the palace for the past two days, and the only person who has really been good to me is my sister."

After saying that, the corners of Chai Ruiling's eyes flickered slightly, and Cao Shi understood that the other party's words were not false, and his heart couldn't help but warm, "Don't say that, concubine Niangniang, don't say that, the concubine just feels that she is in love with Niangniang, and thanks to Niangniang, Xiujuan is from a humble background." ”

Chai Ruiling said; 'I heard that my sister is a general, and Ling Zun has also fought on the battlefield although the emperor, how can you say that you are from a humble background. Although Ruiling is the princess of Dali, I am nothing more than in the eyes of the emperor. The next words Chai Ruiling swallowed back stiffly, and a trace of indescribable pathos surged in her heart, for the sixteen-year-old Chai Ruiling, the two days in the Taizheng harem seemed to be two hundred years long, and she was humiliated by Murong Yichuan as a plaything, but how could she talk to Cao Shiyan?

It is said that Zi Yan originally wanted to go to Daxiangguo Temple with Nangong Ruyue on the third day of the third month of March to visit the temple fair, but she never thought that she would be delayed by the concubine ceremony halfway, because she was not able to see the lively temple fair, Zi Yan was not depressed. Zi Yan knew that Murong Yichuan must have stayed at Chai Guifei last night, as if she would definitely not be comfortable, so after breakfast, Zi Yan took Xiao Yuwan into the palace to comfort Wanruo.

When Zi Yan and Xiao Yuwan came, it was as if they had just returned to Sun Moon Xuan from Jiaotai Palace, and when they saw that Zi Yan was tired, she was very concerned, "Sister-in-law, I didn't sleep well last night. "It's like muttering while holding Xiao Yuwan in her arms;" Last night, the spring breeze was urgent, so no one was stable, and the comfort seemed to be heavier. It was as if all his eyes fell on Xiao Yuwan's flower-like face, her lips fell gently, and her heart warmed a little when she kissed her daughter's soft skin.

Zi Yan put down the cup in her hand and pondered for a moment before trying to explain, "Sister-in-law, this is not a long-term solution, you still have to comfort yourself, want to open some, the days will be long, you still have Qianxue, Yunkai and the red jade in Hemeng Mountain, if you have a good one, you can make them helpless." ”

It was as if he raised his hand and stroked his sideburns, and said abruptly; "I don't know what you said, but I was born narrow-minded, and there is no evil to be helped. This morning, when I combed my hair, I found that I had gray hair, and when I pulled that gray hair off, you can't understand how much pain I felt in my heart at that time, I was only in my early twenties, and I didn't expect it," and then sighed softly as if he lowered his head.

"Queen Mother" When she heard Xiao Yuwan in her arms crying out to her mother, her heart was immediately melted, as if the whole heart was instantly wrapped in a warm thing. The little jade in her eyes is like a budding lotus, which makes her love it.

Zi Yan looked up and down to describe the sluggish Wanruo, and it took a long time before she said indignantly; "The lover has gray hair early, and the sister-in-law still cares too much about the royal brother. The imperial brother is getting more and more disagreeable, I really want to scold him well, he and Zhongli Wenjun both think that the first imperial brother is more colorful, I think that the imperial brother and the former imperial brother are more than equal. ”

Facing Zi Yan's indignation, he seemed to say to himself; "Since ancient times, emperors have been affectionate, and this may be my life."

"By the way, Ziyan, I have never understood why the first emperor didn't accept it when Hami sent Nangong Ruyue to make peace with his relatives, Nangong Ruyue is also a peerless style, how can the first emperor not be tempted in the face of such a beautiful woman." For so many years, I have always had such a question in my heart, and I have never had a chance to ask it, generally speaking, the princess and the princess are going to marry the supreme ruler at that time, even if she is old and decaying, the cry of Zhaojun to marry her back then is also in her last years.

Zi Yan thought about it carefully before she detailed the events of the year; "Ruyue was indeed going to marry the first emperor's brother, and her position was also a concubine, but on the day Ruyue entered Beijing, the youngest daughter of the first emperor's brother and the current Ningshou Palace's imperial sister-in-law Jinghua died, in fact, the Ningshou Palace's imperial sister-in-law has not been very favored by the emperor, and the relationship between the two of them for more than 20 years is as plain as water, so the imperial sister-in-law adopted the son of the palace man Murong Zhiyuan, the imperial sister-in-law set up a daughter with the former emperor's brother when she was the crown princess, and soon died, and in the second year of Tiande, the imperial sister-in-law finally gave birth to a daughter Jinghua, the girl is very cute, The first imperial brother regarded this daughter as a treasure, who would have thought that the little girl would unfortunately die on the day that Ruyue entered the palace, and it happened that Ruyue's eight characters and Ningshou Palace's eight characters recoiled, so the first imperial brother dispelled the idea of Na Ruyue as a concubine, and let him choose a husband among the kings. ”
