In the afternoon, the imperial concubine He, who had just taken a lunch break, was helped by the personal palace maid Qinglian to the dresser. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Qinglian picked up the peach wood comb on the dresser and asked softly, "Does the concubine want to comb the peony hair, the bun or the Lingyun bun?" ”

She knew that the imperial concubine was particularly fond of these three hairstyles.

The imperial concubine looked at the pink silk flower on the dresser and said, "Let's tilt the bun." ”

Qinglian then quickly helped her divide her long hair into several strands, tied them with silk ropes, and then tied them with hairpins. After a while, a dignified but feminine bun was pulled up.

"The concubine's head shape is good, her hair quality is good, and she looks so good in any bun." Qinglian said sincerely while helping her with her hair ornaments.

Seeing that the imperial concubine was smiling and silent, Qinglian said again: "It's true, it's a pleasure to help you comb your hair." ”

The imperial concubine said slowly: "Your mouth, it's almost comparable to King Jin's." ”

Qinglian couldn't help but blush when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "The slave is stupid, how dare you compare with King Jin." ”

The imperial concubine smiled, and when Qinglian helped her pin the pink silk flower to the left side of the updo, she changed to a neat tone and said, "Go and see what the emperor and queen are doing." ”

Qinglian immediately went to see it.

Shao leaned, and the person sent to him said: "Guifei Niangniang, the emperor is now in the Qianqing Palace to review the folds, and the queen went to Taihang Temple to offer incense." ”

The imperial concubine's eyes flashed and asked, "When will the queen go out?" ”

"The end of the hour."

It takes more than three hours to go back and forth from the palace to Taihang Temple, not counting the time to go up the mountain and burn incense and pray for blessings, so the queen estimates that she will not be able to come back after the sun sets today.

The imperial concubine thought for a while and said to Qinglian: "You go to King Jin's mansion quickly, and let King Jin come to me immediately." ”

Qinglian is the most trusted palace maid of the imperial concubine, so whenever the imperial concubine has something to pass to King Jin, she only lets Qinglian go.

"Yes." After Qinglian got the order, she immediately went to King Jin's mansion.

Zhao Yuxun, the king of Jin, was dancing his sword in the wide open space on the south side of the courtyard at this time.

Zhou Jin watched from the sidelines.

The jade dragon sword in Zhao Yuxun's hands flickered soft and hard, bent and straight, sometimes like a white snake spitting letters, sometimes like a swimming dragon swirling up, with his white clothes There is a sense of aura through Changhong, fluttering like a fairy.

Zhou Jin was dumbfounded, and he didn't even dare to take a breath of air.

When Qinglian arrived, Zhao Yuxun had just finished a set of exercises, and he was slowly finishing his work at this time.

Zhou Jin withdrew his gaze from his body and looked around. At this glance, I saw Qinglian coming here.

Seeing that it was her, Zhou Jin knew that it should be the imperial concubine who was looking for King Jin on her side, so he hurriedly got up and walked towards her.

Qinglian then conveyed the meaning of the imperial concubine to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin nodded, turned around and went to tell Zhao Yuxun.

Zhao Yuxun was about to sit down and drink water, and after hearing Zhou Jin's words, he said, "Well, I'll change my clothes and go." With that, he handed the sword to Zhou Jin and strode in the direction of the room.

Zhou Jin took his sword and followed closely.

"Third Highness, which outfit do you want to wear?" Zhou Jin asked as he walked.

Zhou Jin didn't quite know whether the would-be imperial concubine asked Zhao Yuxun to enter the palace at this time for official or private matters, so he didn't know whether to let Zhao Yuxun wear regular clothes or crown clothes.

"Let's put on the tiara." Zhao Yuxun said.

Anyway, even if you talk about private matters, it doesn't matter if you wear a crown dress, but if you talk about business and you wear a regular dress, it's a big problem.

Zhou Jin nodded, and immediately went to get Zhao Yuxun's crown dress when he entered the room.

When Zhao Yuxun arrived at the residence of the imperial concubine, the latter was making tea, with an elegant posture and a calm face. The sunlight outside the window shone obliquely, making her whole body seem to be shrouded in a soft white light, as gentle and quiet as a bright white moon.

Zhao Yuxun's eyes were fixed on her.

The room is filled with the aroma of tea, which has a sweet taste.

But Zhao Yuxun didn't notice that all his attention was on his mother.

"Xun'er, come, drink a cup of flower tea that my mother made for you." The imperial concubine greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Yuxun came to her senses at this time, and quickly stepped forward to take the teacup she handed over.

He sat down across from her, gently brushed aside the layer of chrysanthemums, roses, goji berries, monk fruit, jujube seeds, lavender, and green tea leaves floating on top of the cup with the lid of the cup, and took a gentle sip.

But I feel that the entrance is slightly astringent, and then it becomes sweet and fragrant, and the taste is wonderful.

Zhao Yuxun's spirit was also shocked, and he looked at the imperial concubine and said sincerely: "Mother, this flower tea is really brewing a great realm." ”

The imperial concubine smiled: "This tea is very suitable for drinking in the hot summer, if you like it, then drink a few more cups." ”

"Like, like." Zhao Yuxun hurriedly said.

The imperial concubine was amused by the way he spoke, and immediately set about making another pot.

After Zhao Yuxun drank three cups of flower tea, the imperial concubine looked at him and said: "Xun'er, since the prince went to Sichuan, His Majesty has also been a lot busy, and on the occasion of the Sichuan earthquake, he is worried about the disaster over there all day long, and he must not have rested well, why don't we go to Qianqing Palace together to see him today?" ”

Since the year before, the emperor has gradually handed over political affairs to the crown prince, and then made the final decision himself, so he has had a much easier life in the past two years.

Now that the prince has gone to Sichuan, all the problems are directly in front of him, and he has to live the days of hard work and sadness in previous years, forgetting to sleep and eat.

However, after all, he is in his forties, and his physical strength is not as good as before, so sometimes he feels a little powerless.

The imperial concubine hoped that Zhao Yuxun could seize this opportunity to show her talents in front of the emperor.

Zhao Yuxun understood his mother's thoughts, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then we will go to the Qianqing Palace to see Your Majesty now." As he spoke, he helped his mother out the door.

The queen returned to the palace when the sun was setting in the west, and she first went back to Kunyi Palace to change her clothes and then went to Qianqing Palace to visit the emperor.

Entering the Qianqing Palace, the queen saw that the emperor, the imperial concubine and Zhao Yuxun were sitting under the pavilion made of flowers and vines for dinner.

The three of them talked and laughed, looking happy and happy.

The Queen's footsteps were fixed there.

After a few moments, the queen prepared to turn and leave.

Since it was dinner for the three of them, she had better not be there.

Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine found her and immediately got up and saluted her.

The emperor and Zhao Yuxun knew that it was the queen who came back, and they also turned their heads to look at her together.

"Come and eat together, you don't have to go back and eat alone." The emperor said with a smile.

The queen thought for a moment, then walked over with a smile and sat down on the other side of the emperor.

The atmosphere changed all at once.

But everyone kept a smile on their faces.

"If you want something to eat, just place an order with the Imperial Dining Room." The emperor said.

"No, there's enough food here." The queen hurriedly said, beckoning the palace maid to bring her a bowl of mung bean syrup.

During the banquet, the imperial concubine used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for the emperor and Zhao Yuxun from time to time, looking like a good wife and mother.

After drinking a bowl of mung bean syrup, the queen put down the dishes and chopsticks.

She had been running around for most of the day, but she felt tired and thirsty, and she didn't want to eat anything but mung bean syrup.

"Isn't the queen tired? Do you want to go back and rest first? The imperial concubine asked with concern.

The queen hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, it's really a little tired, then I'll go back to the room to rest first, and you can use it slowly." ”

"Then go back and have a good rest, and then ask someone to do it when you want to eat something later." The emperor said with a smile.

The queen nodded, saluted, and turned to walk away lightly.

"Your Majesty, you try this fried lotus root, it tastes good."

The sweet voice of the imperial concubine came from behind the queen.

The queen pretended not to hear and continued straight on.

After it was dark, the queen wanted to know if the emperor was still in the Qianqing Palace, so she sent someone to see it.

The emperor has been reviewing Xiaoshan Gao's recitals every day recently, and she guesses that he should still be there at this time.

After a while, the person sent there reported: "Empress Qiqi, the emperor went to the imperial concubine's side, and King Jin went back to the palace directly after dinner." ”

The queen was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, and her face sank slightly after listening, and then she lazily responded: "Got it." ”

Today, she went to Taihang Temple to offer 1,666 lanterns to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake, and participated in the prayer ceremony held by the monks of the whole temple led by Master Hui Gao.

She wanted to tell the emperor about these things as soon as she came back, but now it seems that she will tell him again tomorrow.
