The rain in early autumn is not as lingering as in late autumn, but it is also less turbulent in summer, and the sound of rain is already gentle. Comfort parrot

The rain flicked gently, as if sitting in front of the window and looking out of the window at the rain and quietly distracted.

Murong Yichuan casually flipped through some notebooks that seemed to have been written recently, frowning unconsciously, "You really want to be a nun, look, this even has a pure heart and few desires, and no desire and no action has come out." Murong Yichuan took the notebook that seemed to be written and asked her to look at it, as if he turned his gaze away from the rain, and just smiled faintly, "Bai Juyi also said that he could be half drunk and half singing and half sitting meditation, but I was drunk and lying in the red dust and couldn't extricate myself, and the so-called cultivation of sitting meditation was just talking to myself." "How many times do I hope that I can give up a really desireless and wantless home, but after all, it is difficult to say goodbye to the red dust, and I make a wish to the Buddha.

Murong Yichuan crumpled the notebook into a small paper ball and threw it aside, holding Wanruo's shoulders with both hands and sighing slightly for a moment, saying; "I know you're angry with me, your gentle and affectionate personality is not suitable for you, I have something important to discuss with you today."

It's like a way; "You said yes, your so-called important matter is related to your new favorite, if so, you don't need to discuss it with me." After saying that, it was as if he turned his head away and continued to look out the window at the rain.

Murong Yichuan Road; "There is less than a month is Yunkai's first birthday, yesterday the Ministry of Rites Shangshu asked me how to handle the first birthday for him, I have not replied to him, it stands to reason that Yunkai is the future prince, my first prince his full moon because I went out to miss it, the first birthday ceremony should be the scenery, but now the treasury is tight, the previous campaign and this year in many parts of the country famine, if you want to do a big job at least spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, I want to do a small office, wait a few years after Yunkai to move into the East Palace Prince canonization ceremony I will double the compensation to him, what do you think?"

As soon as she heard that it was for her son, she turned her head back to look at the person in front of her, "Actually, the first birthday ceremony is just a pomp, I don't care if I do it or not, and he doesn't care if Yunkai is so young, you can make your own decisions about this matter." ”

Murong Yichuan Road; "We didn't do the first birthday ceremony of Qian Xue and Hongyu for various reasons, I was afraid that I would wronged the child and you."

It's like a light breeze in the clouds; "I've never been a person who likes pomp, what they need is not a pomp and circumstance of the Olympics, but the selfless love of their father and mother."

Murong Yichuan nodded, "This is natural, our children and you are naturally the most painful for me, but you always doubt my sincerity." ”

As if silent, bowing her head and breaking her fingers, she never doubted that Murong Yichuan loved Sister and Brother Qianxue, but as for herself, she couldn't help but let herself not doubt, although there was no doubt about love, but in the face of the warbler Yanyan Feifei next to the person she loved, who could be at ease?

Shaoqing, as if Chunxiang brought the notebook to Murong Yichuan, "This is the expenditure of the harem last month, since there are disasters in many places now, I think the harem should also make some efforts, I plan to reduce the use of the harem by half from next month, but the queen mother and several concubines are still according to the original use, so I just roughly estimated that about a month can save nearly five thousand taels of silver, fortunately, you only have one queen and two concubines, not as many concubines as the first emperor, otherwise the cost of the palace will be greater." Murong Yichuan listened carefully while flipping through the account book, as if he had finished speaking, "Just do what you say, but forget about the queen mother, a few concubines and your Zhaoyang Palace, and the rest of the palaces will be reduced." ”

It's like saying that I am the queen, and I should set an example, I have to start with Zhaoyang Palace first, so that the second concubine of Pan Cao and the concubines of the former emperor will be convinced.

Murong Yichuan agreed when he saw that what he said was reasonable, "It's just that I feel wronged by you." ”

As if with a smile, the slender jade fingers hooked the man's solid fingers, "As long as my husband can understand my intentions, I will not be wronged." ”

Murong Yichuan threw down the ledger and stroked his long hair with his heart, listening to the rain with him.

After the rain decreased, Murong Yichuan said, "I'll accompany you to the Drunken Smoke Pavilion to listen to the rain."

As if smiling and agreeing, so the husband and wife held an umbrella together in the drizzle hand in hand to stroll, and walked and spoke, to the drunken smoke pavilion on the Kunming Lake two people sat side by side, listening to the rain in the pavilion, the Kunming Lake in the rain was covered with a layer of fine light yarn, the rockery pavilion in the lake and the willows on both sides of the bank are misty, in the distance heavy palace cage and the smoke and rain, not as gorgeous as in the past, and added a little gentle and beautiful.

After the autumn rain, I felt a little cooler than in front of the palace, as if I was holding the pearl jade fan given by Murong Yichuan and felt slightly melancholy, "The autumn wind moves the fan overnight, and this fan should be put away in two days." Chunxiang took a bowl of jujube tea and handed it to Wanruo, "Put it away and make it next year, if the mother is reluctant, she will put it on the bedside or dresser and see it every day." It was like drinking a sip of red date tea and not swallowing it, but I heard the palace maid report that Concubine Cao asked to see her.

It seems that she is still a little separated from Cao Xiujuan, but she has to be like a sword eight times out of ten, and after all, she can only talk to her in the harem.

It seemed to think for a moment before saying that I would invite Concubine Cao in.

It was not too late for Cao Xiujuan to enter slowly, and today she was still wearing a purple dress, and she deliberately took the begonia that she had sent after she sealed her concubine.

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is happy for a long time." It was as if she said lightly that Sister Cao didn't need to be polite, flattened, and then instructed the palace maid to sit on Concubine Cao, and then there was a palace maid serving tea.

Since he was humiliated by Saihua in Lixiangyuan a few days ago, Cao has been feeling uncomfortable, and he looks a little haggard.

As if he was guessing that when the Cao family came to the intention today, he saw that the other party had taken a painting scroll from his maidservant Liuli and presented it to Wanruo, "The concubine knows that the queen likes calligraphy and painting, but the concubine has collected a pair of Ouyang Xun's copy of Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface", and the concubine does not know calligraphy and painting, so she dedicated it to the mother. Although she liked the gift that Cao's gave her, as the saying goes, she quickly excused herself from taking other people's hands and eating people's mouths, "I can't accept such a valuable gift, I'll just take a look, and my sister should take it back." After carefully looking at this Ouyang Xun's words, he nodded slightly, and he could be sure that it was genuine, "Niangniang still accept it, as the saying goes, swords are given to heroes, flowers are given to beauties, and this calligraphy and painting naturally has to be given to people who understand, in the concubine's place, this is just a piece of paper with purple written on it." Although it seemed to be repeated refusal, the Cao family still refused to take back the gift, just as the two of them were passing the buck to each other, Murong Yichuan came in from outside, and he liked this painting very much, "Rare Ouyang Xun authenticity, since Cao Concubine has a heart, then I will accept it for the queen." "Murong Yichuan is also a person who loves calligraphy and painting, and he can't miss the authentic work of Ouyang Xun, a famous calligrapher in the early years of the Tang Dynasty.

This is the first time Cao Xiujuan saw Murong Yichuan, and was immediately impressed by his handsome majesty, Murong Yichuan had seen Cao that day with Jiaotai Palace, and he had a faint impression of Cao, but she was just a gentle and graceful, well-informed woman, not as bright and moving as Pan Saihua, which can be remembered at a glance.
