Chapter Twenty-Three: Suspicion of the Coming of the Old Man

In a moment of trance, the eight-clawed golden dragon at the white-collar collar of Xuanyi foreshadowed the prominence of the person who came, awakened Qingling's thoughts, and took a few steps back and knelt on the ground: "The concubine didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I asked the emperor to forgive me if I was rude." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"It's also strange to say, in previous years, in April and May, Huairui was also grateful, but this year it opened in June, I also passed by Yujinxuan, smelled the fragrance, I didn't want to meet you, I didn't scare you." The emperor walked over and stopped in front of Qingling and stretched out his hand.

Qingling had no choice but to put his hand in the emperor's hand, his slender hand was very warm, and with a little force, he pulled up Qingling.

Qingling didn't know if the emperor was coming late at night, whether he wanted to rest here, his heart was pounding, but his face was silent, and he stood aside obediently.

The emperor didn't mean to go in, and sat on the stone bench, "You can sit too." ”

Qingling slowly turned over and sat down on the stone bench, and the courtyard was so quiet that only two people breathed for a while. At a loss, he glanced at the Huai rice in Ayapari, stretched out his fingers and pulled it, but he was thinking about the emperor's intention to come here.

The emperor's eyes fell on those slender fingers, the bottom of his eyes was much colder, and he read softly: "Count the fallen flowers because of sitting for a long time, and it is too late to find the grass." In this way, it is the meaning of the fragrance of the acacia stamen. Even if it's late, it doesn't live up to the beautiful scenery. Saying that, Qingling's hands had been held in his warm palms, and a pair of handsome eyes were fixed on her face.

Time has never been so quiet, Qingling has never been so close to a man, her face was as red as blood, her ears were hot, she couldn't pull her hand, so she had to follow the emperor's words and said: "What the emperor said is that the beautiful scenery of a good day is a good day, and the courtyard is happy." Tonight, the moon is like water, the Huai fragrance is fragrant, how can there be no fragrant tea, the emperor allows the concubines to make fragrant tea to eat. ”

The emperor was slightly surprised, and a clear smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I don't know, I can still see a little scholarly smell in you, if you say that the sound of the flute is clearer and farther away, it is also indispensable, but the sound of the flute is heard here and now, and tomorrow your Yujinxuan should be restless again." ”

Qingling was stunned, and there was a trace of imperceptible doubt in his bright eyes, the emperor would be so transparent, why did he pinch the peach blossoms in his hand and insert them in the temples of Concubine Xian that day, why didn't he care that Concubine Xian would be restless?

Is this the unfathomable nature of the Sacred Heart?

"That's it, I can't sit here for a long time, Chengde is dry, there has been no rain for more than 20 days, tomorrow I have to go on patrol, it will be delayed for about four or five days, and when I come back, I will drink your tea." Saying that, he got up, and his eyes turned around and saw Qingling's **** feet, and then said: "It's cold on the ground, remember to put on your shoes next time you come out, don't let me worry."

Qingling's hands were let go by the emperor, and he didn't want the emperor's eyes to fall on his feet again. Hearing this, she lowered her head and was even more at a loss, a young man was always there, Emperor He Lao was worried, heard the footsteps in the distance, raised his head, the emperor had already walked through the arch of the weeping crescent moon, leaving her with a lonely and solemn back.

Qingling returned to the dormitory, lying on the big bed carved from pineapple wood, carved by the curtain of the window with flying flowers through leaves, and always felt that the scene just now was as illusory as a dream, but Mei Xin outside the tent heard her turn over and asked in a low voice: "Are you always waking up?" Is it the sound of the flute that disturbs Chang Zao's sleep? ”

Qingling listened carefully, and then asked, "Where is there the sound of the flute in the middle of the night, you heard it wrong." ”

"How can it be, it's clearly the sound of the flute, it seems to be coming from the direction of Shufangzhai." Mei Xin got up and opened the window, and there was indeed a distant and bright flute sound wafting in.

Qingling listened carefully, and it was faintly the song "Suspected of the Old Man".

"The breeze sits in twilight, and the thoughts are leisurely.

Open the door and move the bamboo, suspected to be the old man.

When the branches are dewed, slightly stained with moss.

When he entered the pretense, he was a green piano. ”

Isn't this a few casual words with the emperor tonight? Why did it happen that there was a flute sound, didn't it blow it to her? Who is the emperor's deceased?

"Always here, the only person who can blow the flute in the harem in the middle of the night is the emperor, but the sound of the flute is clear, it seems that the flute person is in a good mood!" Mei Xin yawned and guessed.

"Close the window and sleep, maybe it's not the emperor, and I don't know which prince is staying in the palace, so I'll find out if I go and inquire tomorrow." Qingling covered up his mouth, his heart fluctuated abnormally, and he had many questions. The sound of the empty flute and the quiet back made her toss and turn all night.

Because the emperor has not yet been lucky, he got up the next morning, according to the rules of the palace, Qingling did not have to go to the imperial concubine to say goodbye.

Summoned the palace people to the courtyard, and was busy yesterday and didn't care about the lecture, but as the main seat of Yu Jingxuan, this scene still has to go.

She was the eldest daughter of Honglu Temple, she was the director of the family since elementary school, and the art of controlling people is not a royal patent, Qingling grew up in front of her grandmother, and she was carefully guided by her grandmother, and she knew that she still had the ability to control a few people.

She sat on the main seat high in the hall, silent, just looked at the palace people kneeling on the ground with calm eyes, and slowly sipped a bowl of hot tea.

The master's silence for a long time is coercive and deterrent in the eyes of his subordinates, and the drop of a needle in the courtyard can be heard.

Qingling drank a few sips of tea, and then called them up.

Qingling didn't look at them either, slowly scraped the lid of the tea bowl, and said: "You are serving in Yujinxuan, you are my people, you are on an errand here, it is important to be smart, but ......" Qingling's cold gaze swept over one by one, took a sip of tea, handed the tea bowl to Mo Xin's hand, and then said, "As a slave, I value the word loyalty more here." If you are on an errand in Yujinxuan, but you are thinking about those who have and don't, then you have to touch your own head to see if you can stay on your neck safely. Of course, if you are faithful to me, I will be kind to you. ”

The subordinates looked awe-inspiring, hulala knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "The servants are always loyal and loyal, and there are no two hearts!" ”

Mo Xin threw the tea bowl in his hand on the ground and smashed it on the side, and said sharply: "If your heart is in Cao Ying's heart and your heart is in Han, do a little sorry Jing Chang is sorry for Yu Jinxuan, there is such a bowl!" ”

The subordinates trembled and expressed their loyalty, "The minions are loyal, and they will never dare to do anything that is sorry for their masters." ”

Qingling smiled with satisfaction and said appreciation.

Qingling knows that this kind of beating of the slave is a must, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and the loyalty of the slave is not something that can be seen by saying a few words, no matter what happens in the future, it is currently regarded as a first town.

Wan Xin and Mo Xin rewarded the prepared silver one by one, and after thanking them, they left a small path that was responsible for taking care of the yard on weekdays.

I knew from his mouth that since he entered the Yujin Xuan, the cushions on the stone tables and benches in the courtyard were not collected day and night, even if it was raining or snowing, and then replaced with new ones when it was wet. Because the emperor sometimes comes, maybe during the day or at night.

If I asked Yu Jinxuan who had lived before, I didn't know, I just said that since he entered the palace, Yu Jinxuan was empty.

Qingling asked Mei Xin to go out to inquire, and last night it was the emperor who left King Jing to talk about poetry and painting in Shufangzhai. Qingling listened, thought about it, and instructed Mo Xin to pay close attention to the news of King Jing's entry into the palace in the future.

Yesterday, I received the rewards from various palaces, and I should go to thank you on this day, especially the imperial concubines and concubines who are higher than me, and several palaces have to go, and after thinking about it, I almost lost my life because of Concubine Hui's stomach. Now that the emperor is on patrol, the two people in the palace are about to give birth, and if they go out and bump into something, it will be a dead end, how many people are looking at her to do something big when she has no grace.

Shane's business was put on hold.

Qingling instructed Mo Xin to warn the palace people not to go out if they have nothing to do, and to be extra cautious in their diet, and to be careful about the food sent by the imperial dining room, and not to disturb the rest of the snacks in the imperial dining room, just do it yourself in the Imperial Jin Xuan.

The easiest thing to make a fuss in the harem is to eat, and the vomiting some time ago still has palpitations, but I don't know who did it, what I owe her is a penny, and I have to get it back. But she also learned a lesson that everything in the entrance had to be cautious and careful.

After making these necessary arrangements, I called breakfast to eat, a bowl of white fungus porridge only drank a few sips, and I heard the palace people to report, saying that the emperor was in Chengde drought, the emperor went out on patrol, the imperial concubine asked the queen mother, and the harem concubines went to Baohua Hall to pray for blessing and rain.

Chanting and praying for blessings is the daily homework of Renshou Palace, but it is the first time to go to Baohua Palace, the rules and etiquette Qingling are not understood, Mei Xin has instructed his subordinates to prepare things for bathing and incense, and when Qingling bathes out, Mei Xin has prepared clothes.

The plain sky blue pleated Ruyi moon skirt is only embroidered with a few white lilacs on the neckline and cuffs, and the head is only combed with an ordinary Ruyi flowing cloud bun, on which there are two silver hairpins inlaid with pure black crystal ginseng.

She looked at Mei Xin who combed her hair and dressed her again from the mirror, she was in her early twenties, she was already so stable and proper, and then looked at Mo Xin, who was helping to lay her hands, she was younger, but she was also calm and calm, which showed that the palace maids trained by Renshou Palace were extremely good.

Qingling looked carefully in the mirror, it should be dressed decently, and he couldn't find anything wrong, leaving the falling snow, falling flowers, and Xiao Dongzi, Xiao Xiazi was in Yujin Xuan, and brought Mei Xin, Mo Xin, Xiao Alley, and Xiao Luzi went to Baohua Hall to serve.

Yujinxuan is not far from Baohua Palace, and when a few people rushed there, the other concubines had not yet arrived, so Qingling had to wait outside the hall.

Concubines came one after another, but I didn't think that the first to come was Concubine Xian. I have to give birth in more than a month, and I can't imagine that Concubine Xian will come to pray for blessings and rain despite being eight months pregnant, not only to be worthy of the title of Xianzi, but also to be one of the four concubines, to set an example for other concubines.

Even though she is pregnant, Concubine Xian's outfit is not negligent, with a goose-yellow embroidered long skirt, covered with a smoke-gray light gauze blouse, combed with nine heavenly fairies and nine hairpins, and inserted eight treasures of exquisite jade hairpins, showing her noble background and unique grace.

Thinking of the generous gift of the virtuous concubine yesterday, Qingling did not dare to be negligent, and made a big gift in accordance with the rules, "Concubine Yu Jinxuan is often asking for peace to the virtuous concubine, and the concubine is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"My sister is the emperor's newly canonized Jing Chang?" The voice was as light as rain and ink, no coquettishness, no show-off, just a calm inquiry.

"Back to the virtuous concubine Niangniang, the concubine can't afford the word sister, the concubine is grateful for the gift of the mother, I wanted to go to Yanxi Palace today to thank her, but I am afraid that it will delay the blessing of Baohua Palace, and I will go to Yanxi Palace again to thank Niangniang for her kindness." Qingling knelt on the ground and said, his eyes saw that Concubine Xian's feet were wearing a pair of embroidered shoes with gold and silver double-threads and white jade soles, and the face was decorated with pearls the size of a dragon's eye, which were extremely valuable.

"Sister, hurry up, they are all the emperor's concubines, and they call themselves sisters who are always quiet." Concubine Xian's faint words made Qingling feel extra kind.

Qingling got up and took two steps back, because of the heavy body of the virtuous concubine, she didn't dare to get too close, and looked closely, the virtuous concubine looked dignified and noble, with long eyebrows and sideburns, especially a pair of eyes looking forward to the moon, shining brightly. Concubine Xian was also looking at her with a pair of bright big eyes, and said with a smile, "My sister looks really good, so that my sister is envious when she sees it." ”

Qingling was about to reply, but saw a beautiful woman coming over to Tingting.
