Yuhuatai is in the north of Dachu, and the entire palace is shaded by green trees, which firmly covers the summer air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the blink of an eye, it entered the dog days, and the ice cubes of Shanggong Bureau were almost in short supply, but the ice cubes enshrined in the hall still could not bring half of the coldness. The green bricks outside the hall were scorched by the sun, and the heat seemed to come out from the ground.

Su Dai only wore a water red auspicious cloud hezi lying on the beauty couch on his side, and under him was a green silk mat, which should be cool, but the tentacles were also warm.

The wind wheel in front of the couch was blowing, and there was a little palace maid standing next to her fan, her cheeks were covered with dense beads of sweat, but her hands did not stop, fanning the fan with all her might, Su Dai couldn't help but look at her twice, the palace maid seemed to be named Feng'er, when she dealt with Xin'er before, only Feng'er opened her mouth and choked Xin'er.

"If you're tired, change someone else." Su Dai said lightly.

Feng'er didn't have any fluctuations on her face, and said respectfully: "Slave Xie Niangniang cares, but the weather is hot now, Niangniang is afraid of the heat, since the summer, it has been the slave maid who plays the fan for Niangniang, and the slave and maid are afraid that others will not do well." ”

Su Dai sighed noncommittally, and then did not speak again.

At this time, Zhi Yan walked in from outside the hall, lifted the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei on the door of the palace, and suddenly a wave of heat came in from the cracks that were opened.

"Niangniang, Ligong has a letter." She had a smile on her eyebrows, and her voice rose unconsciously, a little more brisk than her usual calmness.

Her such joy couldn't help but make Su Dai laugh too, and she slowly sat up from the beauty couch: "What did the letter say to make you so happy?" ”

The corners of his lips smiled, and he handed her the heart in his hand: "Naturally, it's a good thing, the slave promises, the mother must be happier than the slave when she sees it." ”

Su Dai took the letter in her hand, unfolded it, and saw that the words on the letter were crooked, and at first glance it was written by someone who was not familiar with calligraphy. ”

"Master Fu is really good at medicine, the first thing Saihan did after waking up was to send a letter to his mother, and the letter was delivered here and walked for about ten days, which means that Saihan woke up half a month ago."

Su Dai said with a smile: "This is a happy event, and the Qiluan Hall should also be lively." ”

"That's what the mother said." Zhen Yan smiled and replied.

Su Dai put the letter on the table, and a brisk smile spread on the corner of his lips: "All the palace people in the Qiluan Palace will be rewarded with silver for one month." ”

Zhen Yan was about to receive the order, but Su Dai stopped her, "Can Huaqing know about this?" ”

Zhen Yan shook his head slightly, and suddenly smiled: "When the slave maid got the letter, she was overjoyed for a while, but she forgot about him." ”

Su Dai suddenly became playful, and said with a smile: "You go and call him in." ”

Zhen Yan immediately understood what she meant, pursed her lips with a smile, and said, "Niangniang, let's put on some clothes first." With that, his gaze fell on her white and smooth shoulders.

Su Dai suddenly realized that she was only wearing a chessel, she shook her head with a smile, and instructed Feng'er: "You go and call Huaqing in." ”

Zhenyan stepped forward to wait for Su Dai to change his clothes and then stood aside, and Su Dai slowly sat on the Luohan bed.

The master and servant looked at each other and laughed silently.

After a while, Hua Qing came in from outside, and said with a smile when he entered the door: "It's still cool here, and the sun outside is about to melt the minions." After speaking, he saw that the two of them did not smile as usual, but their expressions were a little heavy, and they bowed their heads and said nothing.

He suddenly chuckled in his heart, but his face was still pretending to be calm, but he couldn't stop stumbling when he said it: "Mother...... Mother, did something happen? After speaking, he subconsciously looked at Zhiyan, who bowed his head and was silent, but saw that Zhenyan still lowered his eyes, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was as cold as midwinter.

Su Dai couldn't help but smile, bowed his head slightly with sadness, and said slowly: "Huaqing, I know that you have a good relationship with Saihan, before Saihan had an accident, you are more anxious than anyone else, but right now, there are only you and Zheyan by my side, no matter what happens, you must hold on." ”

Hua Qing's pupils suddenly locked, his hands clenched into fists, obviously trembling all over, but he was still strong and calm, "Yes...... Is it a letter from Rimiya? ”

Su Dai almost couldn't hold back his laughter, so he turned his face abruptly, folded his face, and nodded slightly, "Yes, Ligong has a letter." ”

Hua Qing's face turned pale and white in an instant, and Su Dai pointed to the letter on the table and said, "Look at it for yourself." ”

Hua Qing didn't care about the politeness, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter to check, but the more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, how could this trace be so clumsy, crooked, he had doubts in his heart, and he settled down to seriously identify the content of the letter, his frowning brows slowly relaxed, and his heart seemed to have tasted a hundred tastes in a moment just now.

He looked up a little wordlessly, only to see Su Dai sneering, and folding his face was also smiling with his lips covered and eating.

"Niangniang, you are the master of the first palace, and you are the second concubine." Hua Qing looked at Su Dai speechlessly, this kind of trick may be that teenage children like to come and play tricks on people, why did Niangniang also play it today.

Su Dai laughed crookedly on the Luohan bed, Hua Qing's appearance was so funny, she couldn't stop laughing while holding her stomach, she knew what Hua Qing was thinking at this time, it was nothing more than that she was a second concubine, how could she still like such childish tricks. In fact, she was really happy because Saihan woke up.

Hua Qing saw that Su Dai didn't pay attention to him, but he kept laughing, so he turned to look at Zheyan, and looked at her speechlessly: "Why is my aunt also messing with my mother?" ”

Folded his face and covered his lips and smiled: "Saihan is awake, Niangniang is happy." ”

Hua Qing thought about it for a while, and smiled, what he said was that no matter what, it was a happy event after all.

After laughing, Su Dai rubbed his sour cheeks, and said: "Okay, don't make trouble, I thought Saihan would have to be in a coma for a while, but I didn't expect Fu Xi to find a way from the ancient books, and now Saihan is awake, but the poison on his body is not clean, Fu Xi said that he still has to lie in bed every day, and when the poison on his body is almost exhausted, it will be good to think about it." ”

Zhen Yan smiled: "Bodhisattva bless, it is already precious to wake up." ”

At this moment, Feng'er came in from outside to report: "Niangniang, my aunt in the twilight years asks to see me." ”

Old age? Isn't it the person who serves by the side of the virtuous concubine?

"Let her in."

After a while, I saw a woman in a cyan palace dress in her twenties walking into the hall, with a smile on her face, not very beautiful, but very comfortable to look at.

As soon as she entered the door, Yingying bowed and said with a smile: "The slave maid meets Concubine Yi." ”

Su Dai smiled and asked Feng'er to bring a round stool to Twilight, and Huaqing gave Su Dai a salute and withdrew.

Twilight smiled and thanked him, and sat down on the round stool, only sitting in one place, with his hands on his laps, very respectful.

"The weather is hot this year, and I haven't seen Ganlin for a long time, but this Yuhuatai also looks hot." Twilight said with a smile.

Su Dai smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are ice cubes in this palace, but there is no coldness." ”

"The virtuous concubine Niangniang thought that this year was particularly hot, so she petitioned His Majesty, opened the cool hall, and invited all the concubines to go to the cool hall to escape the heat." With a little smile on the corner of his lips, Twilight said slowly.

Cool Temple? What is it? Su Dai was a little puzzled, so he smiled slightly and asked, "What is the Liang Palace?" ”

"It's normal for Niangniang not to know, last year was not as hot as this year, so the cool hall was not opened." Twilight pursed his lips and smiled, and then slowly explained.

After listening to her words, Su Dai probably understood what the Liang Hall was, which was actually a pavilion surrounded by an open pavilion, and the craftsmen used machinery to transport cold water to the water tank at the top of the pavilion for storage, and then let the water flow down from the eaves to form a rain curtain to cool down from the heat.

Such an interesting thing, I didn't see it last year, thinking of this, Su Dai couldn't help but feel a little pity.

The twilight years sat down and talked for a while, and then got up and took their leave.

After she left, she only heard Zhiyan smile faintly: "The cool hall is a method of summer escape that the emperor of the previous dynasty came up with, this method costs gold and silver, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor is diligent and thrifty, so the cool hall is only opened when it is the hottest." ”

So that's the case, Su Dai nodded, but he could think of a way to cover the entire hall with a water curtain to cool down from the heat, it seems that the emperor of the previous dynasty would really enjoy it.

"Since Concubine Xian invited, let's go and take a look." Su Dai smiled faintly.

The name of the cool hall of Yuhuatai is Hanliang Palace, and the name is like it. Su Dai walked down the ceremony, only to see a towering palace in front of him as if standing in the rain curtain, the main hall draws water up, all over the roof, flying curtains four notes, excited into a cool breeze, the ears are full of dense water injections, the palace in front of you is intertwined, splendid, shining clouds, as if it can hide the sun and the moon.

Hanliang Hall is surrounded by lake water, the whole hall seems to be a leaf boat in the center of the lake, the sparkling lake water in the dazzling sunlight, it appears to shine. The clear water of the lake is like a piece of jasper with a transparent texture, pure and immaculate. On the surface of the lake, there are thousand-petal lotuses, which are placed in the center of the lake like clouds.

"Thousands of poles, bamboos, and green lotuses are red, and the water pavilion is cold and jade. Amber red suspected rain, crystal curtains more ventilated1. Hearing a gentle voice behind her chanting slowly, Su Dai looked back and saw Jiang Mi standing behind her, staring at the Hanliang Hall in front of her with stunned eyes.

"Sister Mi." Su Dai smiled and called softly, Jiang Mi smiled, Lianbu stepped forward and took her hand, and said softly: "Hanliang Hall is really like a fairyland on earth, is it the first time for Dai'er to see it?" ”

Su Dai smiled and nodded, and Jiang Mi smiled warmly: "When I first entered the palace, I also opened it once, but unfortunately I kept claiming that I was sick at that time, and I didn't even see it once." ”

Su Dai remembered that she had lied to herself like this at the beginning, and couldn't help laughing: "This is not how it should be!" ”

Jiang Mi glanced at her with a smile, and slowly walked forward with her hand.

Hanliang Hall is surrounded by water curtains, only a long arch bridge remains, down the arch bridge, is the main entrance of Hanliang Palace.

Su Dai and Jiang Mi slowly walked down the arch bridge, and slowly walked into the hall along the road paved with blue bricks.

"Concubine Yi is here, Shao Jieyu is here." The little eunuch sang, and the concubines who had arrived in the palace all looked at her two.

Zhao Nianwan saw the two of her come in, so she walked over to the two of them.

"The concubines meet Concubine Yi and Jieyu Niangniang." She bowed slowly to them.

Su Dai smiled and let her get up, only to see the grandmother behind Zhao Nianwan holding Rong Yu who was spitting bubbles and entertaining herself in her arms, and her heart was soft, "Emperor Yao'an is also here?" ”

Zhao Nianwan smiled gently: "She was about to take a nap, but she didn't expect the concubine to be together, she cried, there was no way, the concubine had to bring her over." ”

"She also knew that she had opened a cool hall and wanted to come over to see what was fresh." Jiang Mi hugged Rong Yu and teased her with a smile.

At this moment, I only heard a female voice behind me, "Concubine Yi." ”

Su Dai looked back, only to see a gentle and beautiful woman standing behind her, she was wearing a lilac-colored Xia brocade silk Luo dress, her eyebrows were picturesque, a little powder, and the color was like morning glow reflecting snow, the only fly in the ointment was that her eyes were full of tiredness.

Jiang Mi frowned when she saw Su Dai, knowing that she didn't know the person in front of her, so she spoke: "Lu Meiren came so early. ”

It turned out to be Lu Meiren, although Su Dai had seen her in Guan Ju Palace before, but at that time, the concubines and concubines in the palace were all there, and Lu Meiren's status was low, and the two were far apart, so they couldn't see each other.

I heard that she is seven or eight points similar to the former queen, and it turns out that Ji Qiu is also born with such a graceful appearance, like a person who walked out of a painting.

"The concubine Jin Fengmei has been beautiful for several months, but she has never visited Concubine Yi, it is really the concubine's fault, and the concubine is here to confess." Lu Meiren lightly opened her lips and said slowly, and after speaking, she slowly saluted Su Dai.

Su Dai smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's more important to serve Your Majesty." ”

Lu Meiren's face changed, she pursed her lips, and said, "Thank you for your compassion." ”

Jiang Mi smiled faintly and said, "I heard that there is a waiter named Li Derun on the side of the beauty, who is very capable of doing things. ”

Lu Meiren bowed slightly: "Yes." Although Li Derun is able to do things, she always feels that Li Derun may not be willing to stay by her side in her heart, especially after His Majesty snubbed her these days, he sees the head and tail of the dragon every day, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

"The attendant around the palace was pushed aside because he did something wrong before, and now there is no one around him who can do things." Jiang Mi raised his hand to support Jin Bu Shao on the side of his sideburns, and said slowly.

Lu Meiren was stunned, what did Shao Jieyu mean by this, could it be that she took a fancy to Li Derun and wanted to transfer him to her side to serve? Speaking of which, the "Jinling Moon" she sang that day was taught to her by Li Derun, and it was also Li Derun who asked her to use this method to attract His Majesty's attention, he is also a talent, she doesn't want such a person to serve other people.

Thinking of this, Lu Meiren pretended not to understand Jiang Mi's meaning, and said: "Having a capable person around you can still save a lot of worry, Niangniang can go to the inner chamberlain to see if there is a clever chamberlain." ”

Jiang Mi lowered her eyebrows and chuckled, slowly raised her eyes and said: "This is too troublesome, this palace thinks that Li Derun is good, and today I have the cheekiness to ask my sister for it, hoping that my sister can agree." She saw that Lu Meiren was pretending to be stupid, but at the moment, what use could Lu Meiren do if she wanted to keep Li Derun by her side?
