The sky is hazy, the lonely sound of the Jiaofang Palace, a flute music comes from far and near from the deep pavilion, ten thousand winds are born, three feet around the beam, like a red bird singing in the clouds, which also makes this place seem very lonely.

A palace maid walked outside the phoenix curtain, bowed down and said to the people inside: "Queen Mother, Xiao Mansion sent someone to send a letter. ”

The flute trembled, like a rapid turbulence that came to an abrupt halt, leaving a long echo in the room. In the red silk tent, a pair of Haoxue hands slowly put down the jade flute, and the green silk beauty with her back to the palace maid slowed down for a while before she lightly opened her lips and said, "Take it in." ”

So the palace maid put this light letter on the water nanmu table, and the queen opened it with her long and thin fingertips, and when she swept it, she suddenly felt that the letter in her hand was as heavy as a boulder.

The slightly trembling fingers finally put down the letter, and the queen repeated in her heart, the emperor ...... Finally made a move.

Although she is the mother of a country, she is dressed in a gorgeous robe, and she sits in the middle palace, the head of the three thousand fandelies, but now because her family is deeply implicated, she is in danger in a high position, like duckweed under the fence, as if she can't see a glimmer of hope.

The queen held the jade whisker of the bedside tent with one hand, since Concubine Xi was pregnant, how long has the emperor not been to her Jiaofang Palace? It was hard for her and him to even see each other.

"Queen Mother," the chief eunuch walked in again, bowed his head and said, "Miss Shen and Miss Chen are outside the door and ask to see each other." ”

The queen snorted, it was time for them to come, so she lifted the curtain and led the group out.

Shen Zhuang Zhao and the daughter of the Chen family were waiting in the guest house, and after hearing a loud announcement of "the queen mother has arrived", they quickly knelt down to greet them.

The main entrance was open, and the queen appeared in front of her. I saw Da Changqiu holding up the coral red gold phoenix cloud brocade skirt behind her with both hands, and followed closely step by step, and the queen calmly and elegantly walked down the white jade steps, looking at everyone.

Her back was elegant, her body was like a nine phoenix circling, her aura suppressed the delicate and jade face of the room, and Shen Zhuangzhao, who was kneeling, was in a trance, and her heart suddenly beat.

After the queen sat down, she generously said, "Get up, give me a seat." ”

Shen Zhuang Zhao and Chen Airong sat down after thanking him, and the queen's phoenix eyes turned slightly, and her gaze fell from the Chen family girl to Shen Zhuangzhao, staring at it for a long time, Shen Shuzhao suddenly felt that she was as timid and uncomfortable as a little white rabbit.

When the queen saw the red jade bead earrings next to Shen Shuzhao's small ears and the coral bracelet she was wearing on her hand were all given to her that day, she couldn't help but feel comfortable in her heart, no matter how noble her background was, who wouldn't dare to use the things she rewarded?

"You have been in the palace for several days to be taught to guide the palace rules, how are you learning?"

"When I went back to the queen's mother, I was able to adapt to life in the palace thanks to my mother's patient guidance."

"This is natural, the people sent by this palace for you are the best palace people in the palace province. Although there are many palace rules, it will be the concubine ceremony soon, and this palace will not allow you to be sloppy. ”

"Yes."

The queen watched them submit with satisfaction, and then continued to say majestically: "You are a concubine, serving by the side of the Son of Heaven, and you should be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The palace called you here today, just to train you to copy the scriptures for the queen mother to pray for the palace, and the Qianqiu Festival has only been a few days away, and it is just time to repay the vows. ”

After speaking, those palace people brought two small tables, spread out rice paper on them, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are complete, Shen Zhuang Zhao and Chen Airong had heard the queen's will before they came, so they were also prepared, sat down and picked up the brush and copied the book.

The queen lazily reclined on the seat, the palace maid served tea and fanned the wind for her, and she watched the concubines of the Shen and Chen families copying the scriptures on the side, and the four thick scriptures were placed on the table, two for each person, and they felt good.

Lighting a pillar of dragon incense that is rarer than gold, the queen closed her eyes comfortably, watching Shen Zhuangzhao slowly write down a stroke, that side face is indeed the birth of a heavenly girl, no one can match. Even if the emperor doesn't like his relatives anymore, he can't refuse such a woman, right?

An hour passed, Shen Zhuangzhao's right hand was a little sore, her eyes were staring at the font, and she began to feel tired of it, she secretly raised her eyes to look at the queen, but saw the graceful woman sipping warm tea painlessly, and then the queen was keenly aware of her gaze, and also looked directly at her.

Shen Zhuangzhao hurriedly lowered his eyes and asked them to copy the scriptures for themselves, and drank tea leisurely beside them, as if she had nothing to do with other people's hard work, it was really ...... It's too much.

The queen caught a glimpse of the corner of her lips behind the teacup, and this was the effect she wanted.

Half a pillar of incense passed, and the hour was almost noon, and the queen said casually: "It's noon, you have also copied a lot, you can go back for lunch." ”

Shen Zhuangzhao and the others saluted the queen as if they were about to be amnesty, and the queen continued to look at the heavy scriptures and said leisurely: "You will come to the Jiaofang Hall from time to time after half an hour and copy the rest." ”

After hearing this, Shen Zhuangzhao's facial expression stiffened, is the queen going to raise the bar with them today?

The queen's starry eyes looked sideways, and her arrogant eyebrows were full of unrealized innocence, "Huh? What's wrong? ”

The tone was as light as a feather in soft satin, Shen Zhuangzhao shook his head and said humbly: "No, contribute to the queen...... It is a blessing for the courtiers. ”

"That's good." The queen bowed, "Go back to dinner quickly." ”

The palace maids invited them to go out, and the queen watched Shen Zhuangzhao gradually walk away, and the figure of the beauty was blurred in the red tent of Yanran, until she disappeared into a corner of the door of the corridor, she collected her thoughts, and said to Da Changqiu: "She is indeed beautiful with red." ”

Da Changqiu said with a smile: "Despite this, there is already a concubine Mei in the palace who likes to wear red, and I am afraid that this color will only cause comparison, and make Concubine Mei unhappy." In terms of what color to wear, only the bright yellow worn by the queen is the best. ”

The queen did not answer, and laughed it off.

On that side, the first thing Shen Zhuangzhao did when he returned to Qinglian Pavilion was to find the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother was receiving King Liang and Chen Taiwei, and the palace maid outside the palace also said that she would not be free for a day.

She had to think of the second sister who got along with her most coldly on weekdays, so she went back to find Shen Shuzhao.

But as soon as she came to the West Wing, Huizhuang told her second lady to go to the pharmacy to grab medicine for the Queen Mother, and she would not come back until the afternoon.

Shen Zhuangzhao frowned, feeling a trace of anxiety in his heart, did she have to face today's matter by herself?

The Shen family has always protected her well and prevented her from facing the people of the Xiao family alone, so Shen Zhuangzhao didn't know what to do for a while.

The time soon came to go, Shen Zhuangzhao had no choice but to go over hard, in the Jiaofang Palace, the queen was waiting for them. After Shen Zhuangzhao went in to say goodbye, he saw that the ice beauty was as motionless as a mountain, so he didn't say anything, and concentrated on picking up the brush and copying it.

It is said that each family in the four surnames has its own strengths, but now the daughters of the Chen family and the Shen family can only copy scriptures for the daughters of the Xiao family. Originally, there was a four-phase balance between famous families, and when one side began to dominate, it was destined to be beaten by others.

Time passed in a flash, countless hours passed, Shen Zhuangzhao only felt that his wrists were getting more and more sore, and most of the scriptures engraved with small characters had not been copied, the sunset gradually disappeared, and the dazzling beam of light before parting hit her face, making her unable to open her eyes.

Shen Zhuangzhao picked up the supple green silk that hung down, and then carefully copied the scriptures. As everyone knows, in the eyes of the queen, her move looks unique.

The queen inadvertently looked at Shen Zhuangzhao, and the mottled sunset was reflected on her eyebrows, as if God had specially given a touch of light in the eyes of this stunner in the world, gathering a pool of autumn water, so soft that the starlight was about to flow.

At that moment, the queen's tea-drinking behavior stopped, and her hands were in the air, and she walked for a while.

After Shen Zhuangzhao copied a chapter, the afterglow inadvertently touched the queen, and she realized that the queen had been looking at herself for a while, lowering her head to let a wisp of green silk cover her side face, she felt more and more uncomfortable, as if the air was burning her face like something.

She didn't know why this was happening, maybe this woman was too oppressive for herself.

Before I knew it, it was already night, and Shen Zhuang Zhao and Chen Airong had already copied Jinglun for an afternoon.

Chen Airong beside her is also a gentle beauty with a good face, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from the corner of her forehead, and then turned her wrist, but without the permission of the queen's mother, she didn't dare to put down the pen lightly like Shen Zhuangzhao.

The room became dim, Shen Zhuangzhao originally thought that the queen would let them go after nightfall, but the queen was still silent and did not speak, she still sat lazily on the chair, staring at them with her hands half-closed, with the intention of not moving the enemy.

When exactly will it end?

Shen Zhuangzhao thought helplessly.

"Come on, light the candles." The queen spoke up at this time.

Several palace people lit red candles, and finally brightened the room that had become dim, Shen Zhuangzhao only felt that the words in front of him suddenly became clear, and heard the queen then said slowly: "The day after tomorrow is the time for the palace to repay the queen mother's wishes, and you must finish copying a scripture for the queen mother tonight." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two hardly dared to speak.

After copying the words silently for several hours, Shen Zhuangzhao was already deeply sleepy, and after copying it for a short time, they were all dyed tired with their backs to the candlelight, Shen Zhuangzhao lost his mind, and even wrote an extra stroke with his hand, and she was scared to sober.

The queen frowned slightly, and said sharply: "Write another chapter." ”

Shen Zhuangzhao gritted his teeth, tore off the page full of dense words and invalidated, and started again, the more he wrote, the more aggrieved he became, it was obvious that the queen deliberately embarrassed them.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in their hearts, the queen said coldly: "The emperor likes talented women who understand articles, in addition to being good at writing poems, writing a good hand is also essential, this palace is cultivating your calligraphy, if you can't even do this little thing, how can you assist the Son of Heaven?" ”

When the queen said this, naturally no one objected. It was getting late and late, Chen Airong couldn't bear it, and the queen said to her, "Miss Chen, are you tired?" ”

Chen Airong hurriedly said: "The courtiers are not tired, copying Jinglun for the queen is to pray for the queen mother, how dare the courtiers say that they are tired with filial piety as the first." ”

"The father of this palace and Ling Zun are friends in the world, you can enter the palace to serve the emperor today, and it is also the fate of our family, if there is anything in the palace, just tell the palace."

"Queen Xie looks down on courtiers."

The queen began to get into a family affair with Chen Airong, and Shen Zhuangzhao was very embarrassed in the middle.

"This palace is not in a hurry to ask for your scripture, you can go back first." The queen said, Chen Airong got up and thanked her, the Xiao family and the Chen family still seemed to get along very well, and there was no problem because of the concubine.

Shen Zhuangzhao couldn't help but secretly say, could it be that the queen did it on purpose to show herself?

As soon as Chen Airong left, Shen Zhuangzhao hoped from the bottom of his heart that Shen Shuzhao, who had returned to Qinglian Pavilion, would find that he had not returned, so that he might have a way to get out.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Shen Zhuangzhao could see that the queen had no intention of letting her go. The queen played with the green jade stone in her hand on the phoenix throne and said: "The palace is a little tired, you have to go to the inner room to rest, when do you copy it and when do you leave." ”

Then the queen and the palace maids entered the inner room behind the screen, her every move showed a graceful black shadow on the screen, the queen left, and took the candlesticks with her, poor Shen Zhuangzhao only wrote by the faint candlelight revealed by the screen mouth.

The palace maid took a peony tulle fan to fan the queen, and the queen only showed a little lip in the jade curtain, and she looked at it by herself with a book of poetry in her hand.

In this way, the darkness made Shen Zhuangzhao really unable to hold back the sleepiness, she gradually fell asleep, and when she woke up, I don't know how long it would be.

The queen leaned on the golden phoenix couch, supported her head with one hand, and asked lazily, "Awake?" ”

Shen Zhuangzhao hurriedly stood up and saluted sideways: "The courtiers deserve to die, they are offended." ”

"No need, you are the eldest daughter of the Shen family, how can there be any reason to die." The queen covered her nose with a fan and said softly.

"The queen is not strange, the courtiers are sleepy because the candlelight is too weak, and they won't be next time."

The queen opened the curtain with a fan, looked at the direction outside the curtain with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said quietly: "Since you can't see clearly outside, then you can go into the palace room to write." ”
