Chapter 103: Ganquan Palace
Yin Li sat in front of the bronze mirror, watching the Lian'er Gang give Zhan the Chaoyang Jiufeng flying step shaking, gold beads and jade pieces, Cuihua swaying. Although it seems that there is no joy when she first got it, she can still feel Liu Zhao's highest reward for her, and there is also a happy smile in the trance, which seems to be real and illusory, as if she has been dreaming of beauty since she was a child, ascending to the throne of the queen, and surpassing the women of the world.
"How many days has the emperor been in Ganquan Palace?" She asked Cui Huang and Cui Ying'er, who were standing behind her.
"Tell you, it's been five days!" Cui Huang replied.
"I haven't left Yongfeng Palace for the past few days, and I haven't gone to other concubines?" Yin Li asked.
"Listening to Li Shan, who was next to the emperor, the emperor was sad because of the little prince's affairs, and he was in a bad mood all the time. Originally, I was tired from accompanying the little prince a few days ago, plus I was sad and depressed, I was sick, and I didn't think about eating, so Cai Changshi was anxious every day. ”
"You boil a bowl of milk bird's nest millet porridge over low heat, you have to boil it until it melts in your mouth, and then the palace will bring it to the emperor to drink, how can you do this, your body will be boiled."
"Whoa!" Cui Ying'er went down and ordered the small kitchen to boil porridge, Yin Li stood up, walked outside, and saw that the stewards in the palace were already waiting, and sighed, you have to take care of the things you want to manage, and you can't escape.
When everything was dealt with and the time was noon, Yin Li slightly tidied up her clothes, asked Lian'er to take the food box, and the palace people followed far behind, walking towards Liu Zhao's Yongfeng Palace.
Ganquan Palace is a place of royal leisure, it is said that it was built during the reign of Emperor Guangwu, and the scenery of the Jiangnan courtyard was introduced into the palace, which has a special interest. Although it is winter, the ancient pines are tall and verdant. Do not apply the bucket, color painting, Xuan Ying no algae decoration, a bend of blue water has formed a layer of thin ice surrounding, at first glance there is no wonder, but it is the details to see the real scene. There are towering trees everywhere, all of which are centuries-old trees such as ancient catalpa. Painstakingly transplanted to survive. The gray tiles of the pavilion are polished from obsidian, and they shine brightly in the sun. The bricks that build the wall are all green jade. When the sun is warm, there is cool smoke, and when the sun is cold, it disperses warm air. Everywhere with red sandalwood carved grass flowers and vines, many ornaments of the beauty of jade openwork, and the most rare is. The water in the palace is drawn from a mountain spring hundreds of miles away, and it is extremely sweet. That's why it's called a sweet spring.
Yin Li turned around a back garden, and saw that the snow in the garden was beginning to fall, which was very clear, and there was a hazy light under the sunlight. The crimson walls of the palace seem to be embedded in the snow. The plum branches sticking out of the garden stretched out of the garden, and a large area bloomed proudly. On the branches, the small white flowers are fighting for beauty. The branches are graceful and colorful, and bursts of fragrance come from it. Elegant and fresh, it suddenly makes the heart feel relaxed and happy.
couldn't help but stop and watch, Cui Huang caught up and said: "Nobleman, this is the Yamei Garden where the Yuan sisters live, the scenery inside is extremely beautiful, the noble man picked the Feng Accord with the most laurel trees at that time, and I knew how good this garden was for us to live in."
Yin Li smiled and said: "Let them live, beautiful or not, not here!" ”
As he was talking, he saw two people walking out of the door with a smile, it was the Yuan sisters, and the two of them were also followed by a group of palace people, it seemed that they were going somewhere.
Yin Li said to Cui Huang: "Go and stop them!" Cui Huang ran in front of the two of them in two steps, bowed to the ground and said, "The two beauties stop, my noble family has something to say." ”
Yuan Yi glanced at Yin Li, pulled Yuan Xiang, Yuan Xiang understood, and said with a smile: "The noble man is really kind, such a cold day, if you don't come to see the plum blossoms in our plum garden?" ”
Yin Li took two steps towards them, "You don't have to look at the plum blossoms, the plum blossoms in this courtyard can't be closed, run outside the wall, and look at it when you walk by." But it seems that the two sisters should not have left this garden! ”
Yuan Yi smiled coldly: "The noble man is such a big driver, the two of us don't know which palace rule we have violated, and let the nobles of the assistant harem still worry about us, it's really a shame not to go!" ”
Yin Li took out a handkerchief and wiped the light snow falling on her shoulders, and said calmly: "The Queen Mother has clearly ordered that the palaces are not allowed to come out and move around, if the two sisters don't forget!" ”
The Yuan sisters' faces changed slightly, but as soon as they saw the food box carried by Yin Li, they sneered: "This palace rule is not set for the two of us, right?" ”
"Of course not, all concubines should abide by it!" Yin Li put away the silk and smiled faintly.
"Why did the noble man leave the palace, and he was still carrying a food box, since everyone had to follow the rules in this palace, the noble man seemed to have violated the palace rules!" Yuan Xiang looked at Yin Lidao indifferently.
"Bold, you also deserve to talk to this palace, this palace rules must be followed, but this palace is an assistant harem, naturally, everything must be respectful, walking around the palace is also reasonable, you still dare to ask the head of this palace, there is really no rule, come on, Cui Huang, give me the two of them in the mouth!"
Cui Huang was startled, looked at Yin Li in a panic, and then looked at the palace people on the left and right, but he didn't dare to make a move.
"What are you afraid of, it's so useless, don't go quickly, be careful that I boiled you with oil and peeled off the skin of your whole body." Her words were like the wind blowing from a deep cave, even Lian'er shuddered, and everyone lowered their heads, knowing that things were not good, and no one dared to say a word at this time.
"You dare, we are the emperor's own beauties, although you are a nobleman and an assistant harem, you are not the queen, you have no right to slap our mouth!" Yuan Yi was also frightened by her, pulled Yuan Xiang, took a few steps back, turned around and entered the gate of Yamei Garden, ordered someone to close the gate of the garden, and did not dare to make a sound.
"Hahaha!" Yin Li suddenly burst out of laughter, laughing so much that tears flowed out, his face suddenly became hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "After the door, what kind of sword will you dance, the evil ghosts are still afraid of the wicked, see that they are still arrogant, if you dare to show your teeth and claws in front of me again, I will make you two sluts live forever." Hum! She snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, and walked towards Yongbong Palace again.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Yongfeng Palace, he saw Cai Lun standing at the door, and hurriedly walked a few steps and asked, "Old Chang Waiter, the emperor is better, have you eaten?" ”
Cai Lun saw that it was Yin Li, and said with a smile: "Lao Niangniang, the emperor is much better today, but the Queen Mother came to see it, and accompanied the emperor to talk for a while, and now I am in a better mood, and I am playing chess with the Su Palace people inside." ”
Yin Li's face instantly became extremely ugly, the Yuan sisters are difficult enough, it seems that there are really a lot of unruly concubines in this palace, but at this moment, she can't be angry anymore, she reluctantly smiled: "I'm tired of serving." It is said that the Yin nobles specially boiled porridge for the emperor and asked the emperor to use some. ”
"The noble man really has a heart, so the old slave will go in and tell you." Cai Lun sighed secretly in his heart when he saw Yin Li's expression. He's been in the palace for so long, he hasn't seen anything. This master, but he looks so polite on the surface, and he is strong in his bones. If it is true, he will become the master of the harem in the future. I don't know how I will torture the other concubines. But Liu Zhao loves her very much, is it because she is Liu Zhao's cousin?
He entered the Bolun Hall, the main hall of the Yongfeng Palace, and saw Liu Zhao thinking with a chess piece. Su Gongren was smiling, with a white melon seed face, and a pair of watery eyes under the curved eyebrows, which were decorated with long eyelashes. Like two grapes. A small mouth contains a rich expression, which makes people think of a beautiful morning glory. She wore a pale pink embroidered dress. A pair of cute little feet are exposed under the white bottom skirt.
Seeing Cai Lun coming in, the smile on his face became even stronger, "Old Chang Servant, the emperor is going to lose to me." Don't bother! ”
Cai Lun gave a salute and said with a smile: "The palace lady must have made a good move, which made the emperor embarrassed!" In fact, he knew that Liu Zhao was a well-known stinky chess. When he was a child, he was forced by the Empress Dowager Dou to read all kinds of books, and he was playful and naughty. The real ability is not much to learn, and at this time, seeing his frowning and contemplative appearance, I also feel ridiculous.
Liu Zhao glanced up at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Yin nobles are here, they specially boiled porridge for the emperor, and they are waiting outside the palace, the old minister looks at such a cold day, and the nobles are doing their best, let's let the nobles come in, after all, the palace ban has been lifted." Cai Lun whispered.
Liu Zhao smiled and said: "You let her in, I haven't seen her for a long time, it's cold this day, and her body is already cold." ”
"Whoa!"
When Yin Li came in, Liu Zhao glanced up at her, and saw that she was a little thinner, but between her eyebrows and eyes she was more similar to Sui'er, not only was she stunned for a long time, but it seemed that Sui'er's appearance had also faded in her mind, and all she left in her heart was the goose yellow clothes that fluttered that day, and the feeling of being so beautiful that it was suffocating. At first, I thought Li'er was like her, but now I really don't know if it looks like or not.
Yin Li gave a salute, put the porridge on the case and said: "Your Majesty, Li'er heard that the emperor hasn't eaten well for a few days, and she feels uncomfortable. ”
Liu Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Li'er, come and sit here, put the porridge first, I am happy today, and I have eaten some food, you watch us play chess, whoever loses will play the handboard!" ”
* Li glanced at the people of Su Palace, and saw that she was looking at herself and smiling with a pair of flexible eyes, seemingly without any scheming, her heart moved, and she said quietly: "Your Majesty, I'll help you, and the two of us will see if we can win her." He was very competitive in his heart, and he felt that the skills he had cultivated since he was a child were not vegetarians, so he sat next to Liu Zhao, deliberately holding Liu Zhao's hand, and looking at the chessboard. Now that there is still room for activity in one corner, he took Liu Zhao's hand and said: "The emperor is here, he will definitely be able to do it." ”
Liu Zhao glanced at her, saw that she was full of confidence, and she was also suspicious, but she was held by her soft little hand, and smelled her faint fragrance at the end of her nose, so she went down to the chessboard.
Sure enough, after a few moves, the situation opened up, and Liu Zhao was so happy that he hugged Yin Li in his arms and said: "Concubine Ai is really smart, how many skills do you have that I don't know?" ”
Su Zhao'er looked at Yin Li's appearance, she didn't have to think about it to know that she was stealing her limelight, she was indifferent in nature and had a wide heart. That is, it is not as flamboyant as Yin Li, nor as ruthless as Song Jun, nor as jealous as the Yuan sisters. Therefore, he smiled and said: "The emperor has a noble sister to help, naturally Zhao'er can't go down, and it's not too early, the queen mother ordered not to move around, and Zhao'er will retire." ”
Liu Zhao is playing at the moment, since moving to Ganquan Palace, recuperating for a few days, news came from the palace that Liu Sheng has recovered, but his leg will not be healed for a few months, and the Empress Dowager Dou came to persuade a few words, and the day went to Cai to disperse. I happened to see a pair of chess in Yongfeng Palace, and I remembered that Su Zhao'er's chess was playing well, so I passed it on. At this time, when she saw that she was leaving, she was reluctant, so she said: "Don't go, the three of us are fine, I will take you to the Hundred Beasts Garden in a while!" (To be continued)
