Walking into the hall, Qizheng looked left and right, carved beams and painted buildings, and the furnishings have shown their identity everywhere.

sat on the chair next to the hall and waited quietly, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Concubine Hua come back, and he didn't dare to discuss it in private.

"Concubine Hua returns to the palace." A voice came.

Concubine Hua walked in from outside the door, followed by four palace maids, and when the concubine entered the door, they all retreated outside the door to serve, only Bizhu came in with Concubine Hua.

Qi Zheng and the others hurriedly got up and walked to the hall, and gave a blessing: "See the noble concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Hua raised her hand and said with a smile: "Sisters, I've been waiting for a long time, so let's sit down." ”

Qi Zheng got up and said, "Xie Niangniang." He walked over to the temple and sat down.

Concubine Hua Guifei walked to the front of the hall, sat down in her skirt, leaned on the sitting, and said to Bizhu who was standing on the side: "Why don't you serve tea to the little masters, and bring the osmanthus cake that the emperor rewarded yesterday." ”

"Yes." Bizhu Fu stepped back and prepared.

Hua Guifei looked back at Qi Zheng and them: "The palace is very lonely on weekdays, and now the sisters have entered the palace, but they have to come to the palace to walk around and talk more, and the words are commonplace, today the sisters came to a small gathering, and when they saw that the sisters had not arrived for a long time, they went to the queen mother to ask for peace first, and played a few games of chess with the queen mother. ”

Xi Ying bowed his head slightly and said: "Since it is the mother's order, it doesn't hurt the courtiers and so on." ”

Bizhu walked in with tea and pastries, owed a debt, put the tea and pastries on the table in front of Hua Guifei, and walked next to Qizheng and them, served tea, and put down a plate of pastries.

"Sisters, don't be formal, just like in your own palace, this osmanthus cake is rewarded by the emperor, sisters try it." Concubine Hua picked up the teacup, blew it, took a sip, and dropped the teacup.

Qi Zheng nodded in response, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake in the plate, and put it in his mouth. Xi Ying and Shujin also tasted it.

Wen Yue looked at the plate of osmanthus cake and frowned.

Qi Zheng noticed Wen Yue's abnormality, turned his head, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Wen Yue looked up at Concubine Hua and said cautiously: "The courtiers have never smelled osmanthus flowers, and I hope that Niangniang will forgive her sins." ”

When the concubine heard this, she lowered her eyebrows and played with the ring on her finger, and said in a calm voice: "I can't eat it, and the palace can't be reluctant, but it's a pity, how many times can I enjoy the things given by the emperor in my life?" ”

Wen Yue lowered her head.

Shujin said with a smile: "Niangniang said very much, thanks to Niangniang's love, I waited until today to have the honor to taste this osmanthus cake, and the taste is extraordinary." ”

Hua Guifei raised her head and looked at the book brocade, and said with a smile: "Hehe, what is the osmanthus cake, there is this palace, and you will get more than these in the future." After a pause, he replied: "My sisters are from an official family, so they must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?" ”

Qi Zheng bowed his head and replied, "I just understand a little." ”

Concubine Hua looked at Qi Zheng, clasped her fingers on the case and tapped lightly: "Everyone in the world says that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and a few little masters have learned so much, but it is against common sense." ”

When Qi Zheng heard this, his heart tightened, 'Is this a temptation, or is it intended to make things difficult, but Hua Guifei's invitation to me today is really a move to win over, so why make it difficult, then, this should be a problem......

Qizheng turned his eyes to look at Xi Ying and Shujin, they were all calm, not knowing how to deal with it, Qizheng frowned, secretly thought, for a moment, opened his lips and replied: "Hui Niangniang, this art is not talented, ** The first woman is really worried about the emperor, and there is an ancient precept**No."

has to do politics, and the courtiers are not allowed to give advice to the emperor, but can only learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that the emperor can feel comfortable and comfortable when he is tired. ”

Hua Guifei stopped knocking on the case, the hall fell silent, Qizheng suddenly went up and down in her heart, I don't know if she said the wrong thing, Xi Ying, Shujin, and Wen Yue also lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise it.

Concubine Hua changed her serious expression, clapped her hands and praised: "The little master of Qizheng answered wonderfully, it is really Hui Zhilanxin, this palace was drafted that year, and the adults of the Internal Affairs Office came up with such a question, although the palace was lucky, but it was not as good as the little master of Qizheng half a point." ”

"Qi Zheng is clumsy, how can she compare to Niangniang's intelligence, Niangniang praised it." Qi Zheng said.

Bizhu, who was standing beside Hua Guifei, said softly to Hua Guifei: "Niangniang, it's time to pass on lunch." ”

Concubine Hua nodded, and looked at Qi Zheng again: "Sisters, let's eat with the palace, and see if the meals in Wanfu Palace can suit the tastes of the sisters." After saying that, she got up, and Bizhu hurriedly stepped forward to hold Concubine Hua's hand and walked into the side hall to eat. Qi Zheng and others followed.

Walking into the hall, the round table in the hall was already full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Concubine Hua sat in the front position, looked at Qizheng and said with a smile: "The little master of Qizheng answered the question of the palace, and he should be rewarded, come, sit here." With that, he looked at the position next to him.

Qi Zheng owed slightly: "Xie Niangniang." Fu stepped forward and sat down next to Hua Guifei.

Concubine Hua raised her hand and motioned for the others to sit down, and Wen Yue sat down.

The palace maid who was waiting on the side stepped forward to pick up the dishes for Concubine Hua and Qizheng, and after a while, Concubine Hua smiled and asked, "How is it, can you still enter?" ”

"I waited for the time when I entered the palace was still shallow, I only ate the meal of the first palace, compared to the Wanfu Palace, the chef of the first palace is far behind, if I am lucky enough to be selected, it is really an honor to be able to stay in this Wanfu Palace." Xi Ying smiled.

Hua Guifei picked up the teacup, didn't drink it, and said with a smile: "The little master is so knowledgeable, are you still afraid that you won't be selected?" ”

"Then I borrowed the auspicious words of the mother." Xi Ying bowed his head and said.

After lunch, Hua Guifei wanted to take a rest, and Qizheng and others gave gifts to retire.

In Wanfu Palace, Concubine Hua Guifei walked into the dormitory and leaned on the concubine couch: "Now, the heart of the palace is over." ”

Bizhu, who was waiting on the side, wondered: "What is on Niangniang's mind?" ”

Concubine Hua closed her eyes slightly: "It's rare that you have been with this palace for so long, and you can't even guess the thoughts of this palace, this palace invited them to come today, just to see who is not in the pool." ”

"The slave is stupid, who does the mother fancie? But the little master of the kite? Bizhu said.

Concubine Hua said lightly: "Exactly, according to the family background, except for Wen Yue, they are all about the same, in terms of intelligence, but Qi Zheng is slightly better, he is a talent, and this palace must grasp it well." ”……

Walking out of Wanfu Palace, Wen Yue breathed a long sigh of relief: "Sister, I was just suffocated to death, for fear that I would say something wrong, the problem of Concubine Huagui, my mind was blank, or my sister was clever and solved the problem." ”

"Yo, I haven't said the wrong thing yet, so what is the wrong thing, the concubine's reward was rejected in a word, fortunately, the concubine didn't blame you, otherwise, don't take us off the water." Shujin glanced at Wen Yue and said sarcastically.

Wen Yue looked at Shujin: "I couldn't touch the osmanthus in the first place, since Niangniang didn't blame me, then it doesn't make sense for you to say this now, it's better to swallow it back in your throat and find a chance to talk about it." ”

"You." Shujin glared at Wen Yue angrily.

Xiying looked at Shu Jin and said, "Okay Jin'er, talk nonsense with her, don't lower your identity, let's go back quickly." With that, he walked away quickly with Shujin, leaving only Qizheng and Wenyue standing in place.

Qi Zheng was a little surprised, Wen Yue had never had the power to reply to Shujin's ridicule, how could it be like this today......

"Sister." Wen Yue saw that Qizheng was stunned, and raised her hand to shake it in front of Qizheng's eyes.

Qi Zheng hurriedly came back to his senses: "En? ”

Wen Yue smiled: "Sister, let's come out once, why don't we take the opportunity to walk around." ”

Qi Zheng frowned and said: "No, this is the palace, how can you go casually." ”

"Sister, don't worry, let's go to the Imperial Garden, I heard Dongmei say that the Imperial Garden is not far from the Chuhui Palace, let's just sneak back quietly after playing." Wen Yue looked at Qizheng with a pleading expression.

Qi Zheng shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid of you, okay, but we can't play for too long, if something goes wrong, we can't afford it." ”

Wen Yuexi said: "Got it, let's go quickly." Fu pulled up the kite and hurried towards the Imperial Garden.

Walking to the Imperial Garden, although it is late spring, the spring color of this Imperial Garden is not over, and some flowers are still in full bloom.

Wen Yue looked around at the surrounding scenery and praised: "Sister, this place is much more beautiful than the garden of the Chuhui Palace." ”

Qi Zheng smiled: "You, if you want to see it, hurry up and watch it." ”

"Sister, look, how beautiful." Wen Yue pointed to the side, Qi Zheng looked at it, there was a peach tree in the grass in the distance, the peach blossoms on the tree fell with the wind, what a familiar scene, Qi Zheng looked at the peach tree, and moved closer.

Standing in front of the tree, the lush vegetation behind the tree obscured the view, Qi Zheng looked up at the treetops, a piece of residual red fell on the Qi Zheng powder with the wind, Qi Zheng reached out and took it, put it in the palm of his hand, looked at it, shook his head, and said lightly: "It is useless to cherish the flowers, and the flowers fall from time." ”

Wen Yue looked at the Qi Zheng, broke the grass behind the tree with her hand, and said in surprise: "Sister, there is a piano here." ”

Hearing this, Qi Zheng walked to the edge of the grass and leaned inside, and there was a small flat land, surrounded by grass and trees, and a piano was placed on a large flat stone.

Wen Yue pulled the zither and walked in: "Sister, you can play the piano, right, why don't you play a song?" ”

Qi Zheng was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Wen Yue: "No, there is a piano here for no reason, and this piano looks extremely precious, it must be which noble master's, how can we touch it casually, what if someone finds out." ”

Wen Yue looked around: "Sister, look at where there is someone here, besides, which lady will play the piano here, sister, you can play a song for me, just a song." ”

Qi Zheng can't resist Wen Yue, has not touched the piano for some time, did not think much, sat on a flat stone next to the piano, fingers pick the strings, the sound gradually rose, the sound of the piano melodious spread far away.

"Sister, this song is a little different from what I usually hear, it's very pleasant, what's the name?" Wen Yue squatted aside and asked with a smile.

Qi Zheng slightly said: "This is what I am bored at home on weekdays to play to relieve boredom, unfortunately it became a song, the song seems to be telling something, even I don't know myself, just the name "Hua Mandarin Duck", presumably everyone envy the Mandarin Duck." ”

Qi Zheng played attentively, but Wen Yue was fascinated by it, not noticing the sound of approaching footsteps.

"Bold, who dares to play the piano here." A voice came.

Qi Zheng was suddenly startled, and wanted to go out to ask for guilt, but Wen Yue grabbed his hand, Wen Yue pulled Qi Zheng and ran away, Qi Zheng was pulled by Wen Yue suddenly, did not stand firm, fell to the ground, Qi Zheng got up with his hand on the ground, and the person who came was about to pull away the grass, Wen Yue hurriedly pulled up Qi Zheng and ran out of the grass from the side, and walked back to Chu Hui Palace.

"Your Majesty, the slave should be damned, he didn't pay attention to the emperor's piano, and the slave immediately arrested the person who didn't understand the rules and left it to the emperor." A fair one.

The person who came was the third generation monarch of the Ning Dynasty, An Chen Qiche, followed by the head of Qianning Palace, Li Fuhai.

"No need, if you look for it now, how can you find it?"

"The emperor can rest assured, although she runs fast, but the slave saw that she was wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist, according to the style of the sleeves, it should be the show girl of the first palace, so it is not difficult to find out." Li Gong is fair.

Qi Che walked to the piano and sat down, picking the strings while thinking about something, and the piano sound was intermittent.

"The emperor played the song that the show girl played just now?"

Qi Che raised the corners of his mouth: "There is such a woman in the palace who is so proficient in the art of the piano, no, it is not proficient in the art of the piano, it is the intention of Hezhen, do you understand?" ”

Gonggong Li smiled: "The slave understands, and the slave will pay attention to the election." ”

Wen Yue pulled Qizheng and ran back to Chuhui Palace, Qizheng was already so tired that she couldn't breathe: "You, you, we should go out to ask for guilt instead of slipping away like this, if we are investigated, we won't be able to escape." ”

"Sister, even if that person wants to be investigated, he may not be able to find us, it was really dangerous just now, but fortunately he ran back." Wen Yue said with a smile. Pulling the Qi Zheng back to the Lanxia Palace,

Walking into the hall, Xi Ying, the brocade, and the bamboo were not there, only Xi Rui sat on the edge of the bed and packed up her clothes.

Qi Zheng asked curiously, "Xirui, where are they?" ”

"I'm going to the show." Shiri replied.

Qizheng and Wen Yue glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Watching a play? ”

"As soon as it comes out, the play I expected a long time ago." Xi Rui said lightly......
