The sunlight outside the window is bright as clear gold, shining on the colorful pillars in the hall, and the streamer is only overflowing with brilliance, reflecting the beauty of Yuyan. She seemed to see through what Su E was thinking, and raised her eyes and said, "Do you also think that I have calculated." However, before she could answer, she already laughed to herself, "Ning Shuyuan said that the palace has no heart. Yes, this palace is not only heartless, but also fleshless and bloodless. It's just that this life is not destined to be a free body, so what does it matter if you have a heart or not. ”

"I'm too worried. If it weren't for the mother's wit, the slave would have died at the hands of the former queen a few years ago. No matter what others think, Su E will always be loyal to you. ”

Yu Yan looked at her quietly, after all these years of hard work, Su E was no longer young. She originally seemed calm, but now there is a bit of vicissitudes hidden between her eyebrows. Even though she has been in the palace for several years, her bitter love has been fruitless, and her sisterhood is short, she is the only one who stays by her side. Thinking of this, Yu Yan unconsciously calmed down, so he didn't say anything more.

The news of the accident promised by Thistle reached Jing'an Palace shortly after this.

On that day, the sun was shining and the summer was in full bloom, and Concubine Zhao was going to go to the lake with the emperor to enjoy the lotus - she had spent a lot of effort to plant the water lily pond. With no children and no daughters under her knees, she has never been able to spend a day in the harem where Concubine Jing Guifei covers the sky with one hand, not to mention that there are endless young concubines, and she has long had no capital to compete for favor. So when the emperor agreed to swim with her by the pool, she was so excited that she almost knocked the teacup to the ground. I have been carefully dressed up since I got up in the morning, and I haven't even used my lunch properly, so I can't wait to go out.

Concubine Zhao arrived at the Zhenghe Hall with joy, but what greeted her was the news that Dong Biwan conveyed to the nobles and the noble concubines who were waiting in the palace.

Under the sun, a hot wind mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard wrapped around her body, and Concubine Zhao heard the sound of laughter in the hall, and she almost suffocated for a while. The crown of green jade wrapped in gold leaf lotus hair that took more than half an hour to comb was originally for the occasion, but at this moment, it was extremely heavy, which made her dizzy. At this time, her neck was already filled with hot sweat, and she felt that her mouth was dry, and her whole body was uncomfortable.

Dong Bi only stood outside the hall for a short while, and the light hit him so hard that he couldn't open his eyes. Seeing that Concubine Zhao still had no intention of leaving, he was a little embarrassed: "Niangniang, the emperor will probably be tired, and it is so hot today, why don't you go back first." As he spoke, there was a coquettish smile in the hall from time to time, and the emperor looked tired. However, she didn't dwell too much, but said calmly: "Father-in-law Lao replied and said that the palace had come." ”

She staggered a little when she turned around, her body trembled slightly, and the indigo silver beaded flowers on her bun were a little shaky. Cai Ling, who was supporting her, saw her like this, and hurriedly said, "The slave maid will help you take off the hair crown." ”

"Not necessarily." Concubine Zhao coldly knocked down the palace maid's hand, and her eyes were almost full of cold light, "This weight, this palace can still bear it." ”

She remembered that many years ago, her father Jiang Chenghai held an important position in the court, and the two brothers Lu Binglu and Lu Zhen cultivated by him were also valued by the emperor. And in the harem, the queen Qin almost obeyed her. Although she was a noble concubine at that time, she was so beautiful. Even today, her schemes and strategies have not diminished at all, but her family background has declined, she is no longer favored, and there is gradually no place to show it. But Rao is like this, Concubine Jing Guifei doesn't want to knock her down lightly, she knows that if she forbears for a while at this moment, she will have a day to come back and reviverate.

Concubine Zhao's steps were heavy, and she didn't walk fast. Passing by Xiangyang Pavilion, I saw a woman in a pink skirt sitting in it at a glance, looking forward to Shenfei. The person's makeup was obviously put into his makeup, and he was a little uncertain when he sat in the pavilion, Concubine Zhao had been immersed in the harem for many years, how could she not see that she had bought the emperor's whereabouts and deliberately chose this place. It's just that the emperor has no intention of coming today, and her plan is just in vain.

is connected by the same fate, and Concubine Zhao doesn't plan to be too embarrassed. However, just as she was about to pass Guò about this, she saw Cai Ling lower her voice and said, "That one is Ji Promise." ”

She had also heard that the thistle promised that the female red was skilled and had been appreciated by the emperor, but unfortunately she had not been able to serve in front of the emperor since then, so she was anxious. Concubine Zhao thought that she would have nothing to do anyway, so she might as well meet her, a woman with a stunt, so she walked towards the pavilion.

Ji Shi hurriedly got up when he heard the movement, but saw that the person who came was not the emperor, and it was difficult to hide the sense of loss in his eyes, so he just performed the palace salute in a curtled manner: "Concubine Ji has seen Niangniang." ”

Cai Ling saw that she didn't seem to know the identity of the person, so she said, "This is Concubine Zhao." ”

"Concubine Zhao?" Ji Shi was slightly stunned, and was thinking that he had misheard the name, but saw that Concubine Zhao had already sat down at the stone table. There are a few handkerchiefs with fine workmanship on the table, the embroidery is the most appropriate flower, bird, fish and insect at present, the tentacles are cold, the embroidery work is also amazing, a stitch and a thread are compact, almost no stitches can be found. Concubine Zhao unconsciously smiled and raised her eyes to look at her: "My sister is really good at craftsmanship, I can't complain that the emperor often mentions you to the palace." ”

Ji Shi saw that she spoke calmly and did not look like a tricky person, so she relaxed her tense nerves, raised her slender hand and said: "How dare the concubine get an axe in front of the mother, I thought that I would ask the mother to guide me one day." As he said this, there was a look of smugness on his face. She also knows that Concubine Zhao is good at being a female celebrity, but she is not favored, and she will inevitably feel a little contempt in her heart. She looked at the person in front of her who was on the throne of the concubine quietly, but her eyes stopped on the purse hanging from Concubine Zhao's waist: "This is the red plum Yingxue embroidered by the mother?" ”

Concubine Zhao saw that she knew this picture, and the smile on her face was even more like a spring breeze: "It's not surprising that it's a little trick." ”

"Niangniang's craftsmanship, concubines sigh to themselves, it's just ......"

Seeing her stop abruptly, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but concentrate, "It's just?" ”

"It's just that when the concubine entered the palace, Hongmei Yingxue was no longer fashionable." Ji Shi covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and his eyes smiled like a crescent moon, "But Niangniang is old after all, and it is not uncommon for her to like such patterns." ”

"Presumptuous!" Cai Ling saw that she was disrespectful, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

However, when Ji Shi heard this, he just glanced at her expressionlessly, and said with displeasure on his face: "Things that don't understand the rules, I talk to your master, and you have a lot of mouth." She turned around and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, the concubine is not sarcastic about your age, but such a lifeless embroidery, no wonder it is difficult to enter the eyes of the emperor." ”

Concubine Zhao's sheared autumn eyes were full of smiles, as if she didn't care about the provocation in Ji's words: "Then according to my sister's opinion, what kind of thing is good." ”
