It was already a little hot at noon in April, and the sun was dazzling on the water. The occasional breeze blows, but it can also drive away a bit of the heat. The breeze blowing on the water is sparkling and beautiful. The green plants by the lake, the saffron swaying and shaking, pleasing to the eye, but also a faint fragrance.

The people sitting in the pavilion stretched their waists greatly and admired them.

Throwing away the branches and buds in his hand, the ancient painting fan rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up.

Stretched out his hand to support the female officer's hat on his head, and stroked the two streamers that hung down.

Looking at the sun, which was already a little westward, he counted the time.

The emperor should have woken up from a nap, and she was going back to serve tea in a hurry. Pursing his lips, the ancient painting fan walked away.

Yes, she was defeated.

When I think of the draft, it wasn't as she thought, the emperor picked and looked at them one by one.

Instead, it was selected by the queen, the head and face of the harem, and Concubine Yaxian. After the selection is made, the list will be presented to the emperor, who will look at it and nod before proceeding to the next round of selection.

And she was brushed off in the first round.

It's just that she wasn't sent out of the palace, or thrown into an unknown corner as a hard-working little palace maid.

I heard that the lady in charge who brought her to the Qingxin Hall said that after the selection of concubines, when the ladies of each palace selected female officials, the queen, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Yaxian all ordered her.

It's just a golden word from the emperor.

It was a celebrity beside the emperor, Li Xiuwen and Gonggong Li personally passed on the emperor's edict and assigned her to the Qingxin Palace.

Qingxin Palace, the emperor's bedroom!

Although it is just a simple accompaniment, serving tea, there is no need to do some rough vitality. But everyone knows that as long as you get involved with the emperor, there is nothing easy about it, and you have to be very cautious and careful in everything.

Well, what comes is what is safe. Since he is determined to enter the palace, it is not a problem to have any obstacles ahead.

What's more, being able to get along with a country's leaders day and night is something she never imagined. Whoever sees this errand is greedy. Because she came to this Qingxin Palace, the reason was hand-picked by the emperor, so there were no palace maids, grandmothers, and mothers who came to find her trouble. It's okay like this, and she's happy and comfortable.

Unconsciously, two years have passed since then, and now she has also settled down in the Qingxin Palace, and she has also found out where her sister is. My sister was unexpectedly elected to the harem as a concubine, named Concubine Rou, and lived in Qianhe Palace.

In two years, the two sisters did not speak separately once, and only met a few times in a hurry at the banquet. It's all about smiling that reassures each other.

Although the emperor has never snubbed his sister, he can even be said to be spoiled. But in recent days, the smile on my sister's face has become less and less, and those bright eyes that used to be bright are also full of melancholy clouds. These days, she has to find a chance to meet her sister and ask what happened.

And that Jiang Yuxi was unexpectedly defeated. Not only did he get close to the harem, but he didn't point it out to any prince, so he was sent home. What exactly the big hand that manipulated the harem was going to do, no one knows.

After two years of accompanying life, she has learned some of the rules of survival in this palace. has gone from being unable and nervous at the beginning to being at ease now.

It's just that the Jiang clan, which was very arrogant and domineering two years ago, suddenly degenerated. I heard that Li Xiuwen, the chief eunuch of the great eunuch, mentioned that in the court, the Duke of Qi sent a copy of Jiang Hou, pointing out that he had the direction of collaborating with the enemy, and the evidence was conclusive. For a while, Jiang Hou's situation fell sharply. The huge family was in danger in an instant.

Since ancient times, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and there was a clear division between the former dynasty and the harem, so Empress Jiang and Empress Dowager Xide were not greatly affected. It's just that in that anger, the body of the Empress Dowager Xide, who was already about to collapse, became ill and died soon after. At that time, the whole country mourned, and for three months, the imperial city was not allowed to put up lanterns and hung red curtains.

The big family that has stood for several generations collapsed in an instant, which was unexpected by the ancient painting fan. Qi Guogong sent a letter, saying that as long as she waited quietly, as soon as the opportunity came, she would naturally have a chance to play.

Well, it is impossible for her to live anywhere else except the palace now, so what difference does it make if she is equal to not waiting?

It's just that sometimes when I calm down, there is always a faint sadness floating in my heart, which is extremely uncomfortable. She is waiting for the result, and she is also waiting for the process.

Walking quickly to the outside of the hall, careful footsteps sounded behind him, and the ancient painting fan moved, and turned around sharply and 'frightened'!

"Oh, Sister Fan'er, you're scaring me!"

A little eunuch patted his chest and muttered pitifully.

The ancient painting glanced at him and said angrily: "You! That's all there is to it all day! Let your master see it again, you still want to hold the porcelain bowl for another hour. This time, I might be able to make you the top two! ”

When the little eunuch heard this, he quickly looked around, and saw that there was no one else, so he patted his chest and said with a grin: "Sister Fan'er, don't scare me, the master was sent by the emperor to have something to do, and he must not be here at this hour!"

"Really?" Gu Huafan smiled inexplicably, his eyes glancing behind him.

When the little eunuch saw this, he immediately became agitated, and his face wrinkled into bitter melon.

"Sister Fan'er, don't scare me anymore, I can't stand Sister Fan'er's scare!"

said this, but he still turned around slowly and honestly, and looked behind him resignedly.

There's no way, who let him be caught by the master like this every time!

Resigned to his fate, he quickly lowered his head, and said miserably: "Master, Liufu knows that he is wrong......

"Flutter!"

Luofu opened his eyes, and there was no half figure in front of him, and the woman behind him was smiling.

"Sister Fan'er! You're lying to me again! ”

Liufu looked like a victim, accusing the ancient painting fan, his small mouth was deflated, and he was extremely aggrieved.

Gu Huafan giggled, stretched out his finger again, nodded his head, and said, "Who made you do too many wrong things, your heart is empty, but you were scared just now?"

Luofu scratched his head, looking sad.

"Okay, you are a ghost, if you make trouble with me like this, you have good fruit to eat. Hurry up, Gonggong Li is not here, the emperor is about to wake up, you have to be careful to serve later! You're just sloppy! The ancient painting fan said with a smile.

Liufu said sullenly: "Got it, Sister Fan'er."

looked at him with a look of bad luck. Gu Huafan smiled, this Liufu is Li Xiuwen's little apprentice, and he is a month younger than her. Goblins are very. pestering her all day long, Sister Fan'er, Sister Fan'er's call.

Although he jumped out very well, he was not bad in life, otherwise he could let the picky Gonggong Li be selected and be his spare hand?

Looking at his smiling bright and immature face, I suddenly remembered An Deyang. What is that big boy doing at the moment?

Shaking his head funny, the ancient painting fan glared at Liufu, who was looking at her with a probe, and walked towards the emperor's bedroom with a smile.

"Eh, Sister Fan'er wait for me."
