The sky is slightly blue, the glimmer of the morning light shines through the screen window, reflecting a pot of snowflake blue on the windowsill, the pale white petals and tender green calyx are pleasing to the eye, Yao Concubine stands quietly in front of this flower, her long hair is pulled up, and there is a pink silk flower on her sideburns, the pearl on the silk flower hangs down, with a slight light, Yan Qiu holds a box: "Master, this is what you want." ”

Concubine Yao turned around: "Put it there, wait until you send it to Jing Shuyi, and say thank you for her teaching." Yan Qiu was slightly blessed: "Yes." ”

The dance of the Meizu people? The Imperial Concubine and Jing Shuyi have known about this for a long time, and I'm afraid that I will be excluded alone. Concubine Yao stretched out her hand to want the most colorful and beautiful flower, but she didn't know that the spikes under the flower pierced her fingertips, and a drop of blood came out like this.

Yao Concubine stroked her fingers, frowned and put down her hand: "That's it, maybe when this concubine should be like this flower, with more spikes, in order to protect herself." ”

Yan Qiu came in and saw Concubine Yao with a painful look, her fingers were stained with blood beads, and she didn't care about saluting: "Master, who are you?" ”

stepped forward to help Concubine Yao deal with her wounds, but Concubine Yao was stern and slapped Yan Qiu in the face: "You slut, so rude." ”

Where did Yan Qiu suffer this kind of grievance, knelt on the ground, the hot pain on her face penetrated deep into the bone marrow: "The slave and maid don't dare anymore, ask the master for forgiveness, ask the master for forgiveness." ”

Concubine Yao took a handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on her fingertips: "This concubine knows your thoughts, I'm afraid that I won't be here in this palace for a long time, change the Japanese palace and let the imperial concubine promote you to be a maid, and you will definitely be grateful to this concubine." ”

Yan Qiu's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to say anything, and at this moment, the maid came to report: "Little master, Ning Guiyi of the Incense Hall is here."

Concubine Yao was angry, where could she hear such words, but she sneered: "My sister doesn't like my sister to come here, she is so rude."

Concubine Yao looked at Ning Guiyi, dressed in a dark crimson robe, covered with white fox skin, with a charming expression, but a little more arrogant than before.

Seeing Concubine Yao salute reluctantly, a smile appeared on Ning Guiyi's lips: "Why should my sister be so estranged from this concubine, if it weren't for the fact that my sister didn't have today's noble position, so my sister wouldn't have to salute." ”

Concubine Yao pulled out a reluctant smile, but Ning Guiyi became interested in Yan Qiu, who was kneeling: "This slave is really good-looking, but why is my sister so ruthless, the red palm print on this slave Bai Shengsheng's face is so deep, is my sister jealous?" “

Concubine Yao looked at Yan Qiu, who was kneeling, and said with a smile: "It's not that much, it's just that a slave maid made a mistake, and my sister is just a small punishment and a big commandment, so that she will have a heart to recognize right and wrong in the future." ”

Instead, he commanded, "Go down." ”

Yan Qiuru was relieved, and thanked him and retired.

The hot tea seemed to look very hot, Ning Guiyi looked at Concubine Yao's indifferent appearance and was a little surprised, and asked: "I heard that my sister has been practicing dance recently, and my concubine would like to see Sister Yao's dancing, although we have known each other for a long time, but we have not appreciated it yet, if my sister's dance can be appreciated by the emperor, it is also a beautiful thing, and my sister will have to rely on my sister at that time." ”

Having said that, Concubine Yao still trembled inadvertently, and then regained her calmness, and her eyes were rippling: "My sister is too uplifting my sister, what can't dance, I can compare to my sister's good voice when I beat Xiaosheng, my sister is very envious, if you say appreciation, who doesn't know how my sister won the emperor's favor in the library at the beginning, and now my sister's harmony has been recorded by the emperor under the name of the imperial concubine, and what kind of holy favor is there to talk about." ”

Concubine Yao's tone was a little resentful, but her face was as usual when she talked about something broken and something lost, but the more she was like this, Ning Guiyi felt that Concubine Yao's patience with the imperial concubine had reached the limit, and Ning Guiyi covered her lips: "My sister still forgot what my sister told you in the Xiangdian at that time, the imperial concubine will not tolerate you giving birth to the prince, but you still don't listen to your sister, so you have to let Princess Hexing live in the Chengguang Palace, although the Chengguang Palace is big and empty, the nurse is the person of the imperial concubine, if there is a good one." , don't forget that my sister once reminded my sister. ”

Yao Concubine listened to Ning Guiyi's words, although there was anger in her heart, she was still indifferent: "Sister thanked Ning Guiyi for reminding her, but Ning Guiyi should not forget her own affairs." The concubine heard that the queen mother took good care of Ning Guiyi, and even the spices used by the Empress Dowager Xianling during her lifetime were given to Ning Guiyi, Ning Guiyi was afraid that she didn't know. ”

Ning Guiyi looked at the expression on Concubine Yao's face, for fear of missing a single thing, but Concubine Yao looked calm, and Ning Guiyi laughed loudly: "My sister wants to defect to the queen's mother, why don't you say it bluntly, but instead be so disrespectful to the queen's mother, you are not afraid of the queen's mother's blame, it won't be the queen's mother who is out of the palace, the monkeys in this palace are quite kings, my sister said yes or not?" ”

Ning Guiyi's aggressive tone made Concubine Yao frown: "If my sister really didn't believe in my sister, she wouldn't come to this Guerlain Palace now, how could my sister's words be half a lie, my sister still remembers that if it wasn't for my sister's help, my sister would really not be able to return to Yao's Mansion and become the eldest daughter of Yao's Mansion." ”

Ning Guiyi saw that what Concubine Yao said word by word was not like a hypocrisy: "Why is my sister so familiar with this concubine's palace?" This concubine can't trust you. ”

Concubine Yao shook her head: "I'm afraid that the imperial doctor who asked my sister for a safe pulse was arranged by the queen's mother, my sister can't believe my sister, my sister really listened to others." ”

Ning Guiyi's face was red and white for a while, and she got up: "It's time to thank my sister for this."

Concubine Yao raised her eyebrows and blessed herself: "Congratulations to Ning Guiyi." ”

Looking at the scarlet figure fading in her eyes, the faint smile on Concubine Yao's lips was like nothing, her eyelashes drooped, she closed her eyes and said in her heart: "If only it could be like the past, I could choose, and I don't have to force a smile like this and hide my thoughts." A Dongzhu ring on her hand rubbed the warm soft jade, and Concubine Yao couldn't help but pick up the cup of hot tea and bring it to her lips: "Is it because this tea is too inferior?" ”

It was getting late, and the golden crow on the horizon was crumbling, like something she had endured, tightly imprisoning her heart.
