Yu Hao saw that she was dressed well and her demeanor was quite elegant, so she asked her to get up: "Ji's family? I don't seem to have seen you yet, but I'm looking for it. ”

The woman's face immediately showed joy, and she nodded again and again: "It was the concubine who accidentally lost it." ”

"You embroidered this? Good craftsmanship. Yu Hao looked at her slightly, "You can write poetry and songs." ”

"Back to the emperor, concubines are only good at female red, and they don't know how to give words. My mother taught her concubines that being talentless is virtue since she was a child. ”

"Your mother is right, what else do you embroider?" As if he was a little embarrassed by the Son of Heaven, Ji lowered his head more and more, twisted his fingers around a pink button on his chest, and muttered: "The concubine can also embroider portraits, I thought that if I could see the emperor, I would definitely embroider a portrait of the Son of Heaven with a real dragon for you......"

Accidentally losing her belongings was a trick that women in the palace were used to, but Yu Hao was still a little interested in her and was not angry. Hearing her say this now, she laughed even more: "Didn't you see it?" The weather is good today, so you can walk around the garden with me. ”

The woman looked up flattered, and when she saw that the Son of Heaven was smiling, her heart was full of joy. She followed Yu Hao's side, carefully looking for fresh topics, lest there be any gaffes that would make the emperor lose interest in her, and she tried her best to please her along the way. Such a deliberate Yuhao is not invisible, but it does not reveal any dissatisfaction.

Dong Bi carefully observed his words and expressions on the side, lest Yu Hao lose his rare good mood, and hurriedly reconciled: "Your Majesty, you see that gardenias are blooming in patches in the sparsely populated place in the west, which is really beautiful. Seeing Yu Hao nodding, he stepped forward to open the way, and followed the flower path all the way to the west, and it was like arriving at a paradise. Not only gardenias, but also crape myrtles, bellflowers, sunflowers, hydrangeas, dahlias, etc. are in full bloom. Yu Hao had never paid attention to such a corner before, and he would never have walked so far on foot unless it was a whim.

Walking soon, the road ends in front of an elegant pavilion, the small palace is enveloped in the sea of flowers, bursts of fragrance hit the face, making people feel that they are gradually entering the fairyland.

Seeing this, Yu Hao couldn't help but wonder: "There is such a pavilion here, but there are people to live in." ”

Dong Bi stepped forward to take a closer look, as if he remembered something, and replied: "Your Majesty, this is Muyuan Hall, and the new Zhizhi who has entered the palace will be placed here." ”

"How could the new concubine live in such a remote place, not to mention that I don't seem to have seen her green head card."

"Zhi promised to hear that her health was not very good, so she invited herself to live in this kind of place." The Ji family was afraid that the emperor would be taken away from her attention and ignore herself, so she hurriedly took over and said, "Don't be polluted with bad luck on a good day, and the concubine will accompany the emperor back." ”

Yu Hao didn't seem to hear what she said, and only instructed Dong Bi: "Come forward and knock on the door." ”

The door rang for a long time, and only then did a thin and weak palace maid come forward to greet her, she probably had never seen the Son of Heaven, and looked at the visitor with some blankness for a while. Yu Hao stopped Dong Bi, who wanted to step forward to reprimand, and said with a pleasant face: "Your little master is here." ”

"My little master is sick and should not ......" Before the sentence was finished, a light female voice came from the courtyard and said, "Qingru, who is coming." ”

Yu Hao glanced at the pale little palace maid and strode into the courtyard. With the cool aroma coming to the face, the woman hidden in the crape myrtle flowers gradually came into view. She wears a long shirt embroidered with birds and a pattern, and only a pair of light loafers on her feet, and her long hair is not tied. Holding a paper mandarin duck kite in his hand, his face was lightly swept with moth eyebrows, and his face was delicately red, where he looked like a seriously ill person.

When the woman saw someone coming suddenly, she hurriedly sent a paper kite, and before she could open her mouth, she heard Ji Shi shout: "You dare to commit the crime of defrauding the king!" ”

The palace maid who came in a hurry hurriedly knelt down to Zhi Xu's side and begged: "The emperor is angry, the little lord is ......."

"Your maid's name is Qingru?"

"Yes." Although the woman was a little timid, she was neither humble nor arrogant. She lowered her head quietly, her eyes were as quiet as autumn water, "Ask where the canal is as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water." ”

Yu Hao stared at her and said indifferently: "This is Zhu Xi's poem, as a daughter, do you like such a profound work." ”

"Concubines also love words such as Yishan and Liu Yong. However, compared to coming, it is still a work with far-reaching meanings that is more popular. ”

"You deceived me with your talent." Yu Hao stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes slowly moving away from her, "You deliberately live in such a remote place, and you lie about your illness, but you don't want to see me. ”

"Exactly." The woman lowered her eyes, and didn't care about the slightly discolored face of the Son of Heaven, and only said, "What the concubine wants, the emperor can't give, and the battle is like not seeing." ”

The color in the man's eyes darkened, but his face was still calm as usual: "I am the Ninety-Five Venerable, what else can't I give you." He said and sneered, "It's still too high for you, and I can't allow you." ”

"The concubine doesn't know if the stability of the first life is too high. It's just that if you want the concubine to do her best for her own glory and work every step of the way, then it is better to be in such a stable old death palace. ”

Yu Hao's eyebrows and eyes suddenly eased a little, and he sighed slowly: "I have heard this a long time ago, but ......" He suddenly lowered his eyes to look at the woman, as if he wanted to see someone's trace from the thin figure, and said after a long time, "That's it, if you really don't want to get involved in the harem, I will fulfill you." His tone was faint, as if he were saying something inconsequential. Zhi agreed, his body shook slightly, almost touched the ground with his head, and bowed deeply: "Thank the emperor for his success." ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven said this, the Ji family smiled with peace of mind, and stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, the concubine will accompany you to go elsewhere." ”

Yu Hao glanced at her casually with a lazy look between his eyebrows: "I'm tired, you can step down." ”

Ji was anxious and frightened, but he couldn't figure out the temper of the Son of Heaven, so he had to give up and didn't dare to say more.

This incident seems to be just a small episode in the boring harem, and it is still the most favored by the Weiming Palace for a long time after that. Bao promised not to be rejected by the emperor as quickly as everyone guessed, but was on an equal footing with Jia Chang. He Jiashi was registered as a noble person half a year after entering the palace, which in addition to the intention of the noble concubine, she herself is also quite talented, and she can often keep the sacred heart. Just being the first to be promoted among the newcomers means that there will be many enemies in the future. The woman wanted to compete for favor and protect herself, and she didn't dare to make a big move for a while.

One afternoon, the weather was a little stuffy, and Yuyan couldn't sleep well, so she simply got up to do needlework. It happened that Mrs. Yunping brought Princess Furao to greet her and relieve her fatigue. The princess is eight or nine years old, and she is beginning to show a bit of femininity, she wears a light yellow epiphany blouse, the pattern is a swirl pattern outlined with jade thread, lining the person demure and lively. Princess Fleur held Mrs. Yunping by hand, and the relationship between mother and daughter seemed to be excellent.

Yu Yan actually doesn't like her very much, she is Zhao Guiren's child after all, and her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to her biological mother. Every time Yu Yan saw her, she could always remember Zhao Guiren's hysterical appearance before he died.

Mrs. Yunping made a regular salute, and said affectionately: "I guess you can't sleep, so I brought Fleur to find you to relieve your boredom." ”

"This year is the beginning of autumn, and it will be steaming in the summer." Yu Yan looked at her with a smile, and her eyes naturally fell on the princess, "Hibiscus is also becoming more and more standard, it's really a blessing for my sister." ”

Hearing this, Fu Rui raised her head and asked, "Concubine Jing, Xia Er is in the palace, and the child hasn't seen her for a long time." ”

was immediately interrupted by Mrs. Yunping: "How many times has the concubine said that you want to call Princess Ziyang, how can you call the princess's name casually." ”

"My sister is too particular." Yu Yan softly dissuaded Mrs. Yunping, and gently stroked the soft hair on Fu Hui's forehead, "That's her sister, what's the point." Su'e, you take the princess to the Yuxia room. ”

Fluff followed Su E out of the house happily, and immediately the air became much quieter. Yu Yan casually added a handful of incense to the red-glazed incense burner on the case, and the smoke as light as a cicada's wings immediately escaped from the edge of the copper cover of the carved lion's mouth, and the curling smoke covered Yu Yan's indifferent eyebrows, lining her as if she did not eat the fireworks of the world.

"My sister really hasn't changed much from before, it's not like us, as the years go away." Hearing this, Yu Yan looked up at Mrs. Yunping and saw that her once full and smooth forehead really had some thin folds, but it was gentle and not abrupt. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Yunping had already said to herself, "I also know that if it weren't for Fuyuan, the emperor would have abandoned me a long time ago." I don't want to have a child here, if you hadn't helped me regardless of your previous suspicions......"

"It's all old." Yuyan turned sideways, just avoiding the beam of light that came in through the window lattice, "If my sister doesn't mention it, I won't be able to remember." ”

"It may be an old thing for my sister, but I feel a lot of emotion when I see Fleur every day." Mrs. Yunping's eyes were like a pool of clear water, and she was almost immersed in memories. When he raised his eyes, he saw Yu Yan's gentle smile, so he shook his head self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, I didn't come here today to talk about this." ”

Yu Yan's smile became fainter and fainter: "What's the matter, it's rare for my sister to talk about old things." ”

"Actually, I came today to see something with you, and you have seen the Tong book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently?"

"Now that the Tong book is going to be presented to the imperial concubine, I will no longer read it." Yu Yan said and took the thing handed by Mrs. Yunping, and when she saw that it was a handwritten copy of the Tong book, she unconsciously glanced up at her. Mrs. Yunping motioned for her to read on, and Yu Yan only turned a few pages to understand the clues, but she was not in a hurry to say anything, but leaned on the thin tooth table with white sandalwood carved clouds and gold wires, and casually flipped through them one by one.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yunping was anxious, and simply said bluntly: "In the past few months, there have always been less than ten days, and the emperor has not summoned anyone to sleep. ”

"What do I want to say as a sister?" Yu Yan averted his eyes and looked at the people around him leisurely, "The emperor is not young after all, so he has to take care of the dragon body." ”

Mrs. Yunping's face was slightly crimson when she heard this, she hadn't slept for a long time, and there was a little bit of loneliness on her body, and her smile was also cool, so when she heard Yu Yan say such ambiguous words, she didn't feel a little shy. "If it were as you say, I wouldn't have told you otherwise. I inquired about the emperor's whereabouts from the people around the emperor, and then I learned that the emperor had gone to have a tryst with someone. ”

"Tryst?" In addition to being surprised, Yu Yan felt even more surprised.

"My sister knows who the other party is," the woman leaned closer to her face, a little secretive, "it was Zhi who agreed." ”

Yu Yan slowly picked a peeled green plum meat and ate it, as if trying her best to recall the name. "As if I've heard ......"

"It's no wonder that my sister can't remember that she is the woman who said she was sick as soon as she entered the palace and asked to move to Muyuantang."

"It's her." As if there was a little playfulness in it, Yu Yan's smile was like the quiet dust in the palace, "There are all kinds of ways to attract the emperor, but not everyone can do it by retreating." ”

Mrs. Yunping gently shook the tea cup in the cup, and the Longjing was as green as a good jade. She took a sip and said, "What does my sister think?" ”

"Let her go. Now that the emperor is interested in her, it's not something you and I can stop. Yu Yan said slowly, "However, the Ming Palace is favored, and Concubine Zhao, who is separated by a wall, is jealous, if you know that there is such a person who makes the emperor dream, I am afraid that I will lose my good bearing." ”

Seeing that she didn't care, Mrs. Yunping also relieved herself and never mentioned the matter again.
