Gu Ranchen kindly reminded, "Since that incident, Concubine Ping has rarely seen people, her temperament has changed greatly, she is moody, everyone in the palace respects her, I heard that the palace maids and eunuchs of the Purple Palace have been complaining all day long, this time you have to be more cautious when you go to take care of Concubine Ping." ”

"Thank you for mentioning it." Liu Shihua replied respectfully, but there was something unpleasant in her heart, listening to Gu Ranchen's description, the current Ping Guifei looks like a resentful woman in the deep palace, but it is impossible for a woman to be calm after such a big twist and turn. Almost overnight, his relatives died tragically, he fell from the top of 10,000 people to the bottom all of a sudden, was snubbed by the emperor, and spent his days in the palace in desolation.

When he met the palace maid who came out to greet him, Gu Ranchen handed over Liu Shihua to the palace maid and left first.

In the Jiangnan Palace, there is also a Purple Palace, it is said that this palace is the same as the general in Chang'an City, this is the time when Ping Guifei is still favored, accompanying the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor is afraid that Ping Guifei will not be used to living, so he specially built this courtyard in the palace according to the appearance of Chang'an Zijin Palace.

Liu Shihua followed the palace maid into the main hall of the Zijin Palace, only to see a woman sitting on the main hall, this woman was holding a nine mustaches on her head, with a golden hairpin, and the makeup on her face was not thick or light, just right, but her face was particularly beautiful. Wearing a big purple cloud brocade flower skirt, it looks noble and generous, although it is thirty or forty years old, but the charm is undiminished, and the luxury is displayed vividly everywhere.

With such an aura and temperament, it is no wonder that the emperor can be infatuated with her. Liu Shihua was stunned by the aura of Concubine Ping, such a woman, probably anyone will look very small in front of her, in the world, the man who can be worthy of her is probably only the emperor.

Liu Shihua walked to the center of the hall and bowed down, "The courtiers have seen Concubine Ping, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Concubine Ping lowered her eyes and looked down, dragged her hand, and ordered, "No courtesy." ”

Liu Shihua hurriedly stood up, lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at the screen concubine.

"Are you the second girl of the Liu family, Liu Shihua?" Concubine Ping's voice sounded, unusually calm, and she couldn't hear joy or anger.

"It's the courtier." Liu Shihua replied cautiously. Gu Ranchen said that Concubine Ping was irritable, and Liu Shihua did not dare to offend easily, in these days in this palace, she did not seek merit but no fault, so she was very cautious in every word.

Concubine Ping was silent for a long time, and carefully looked at Liu Shihua, "Come, come to the palace." ”

Liu Shihua lowered her head and walked in front of Ping Guifei, who stood up and looked at Liu Shihua closer, "En." It is said that the daughters of the Liu family are all outstanding, and they are really a beautiful embryo. ”

Liu Shihua didn't know if she was really praising her or had other intentions, and she didn't dare to answer easily, but she replied nonchalantly, "Niangniang has won the award." ”

Concubine Ping Guifei still had a calm face, her face was expressionless, which made people feel cold and swishing, a little scary, "I don't know if King Ning has confessed, this palace has always been quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed." This time the queen has to let you come to the palace to accompany you, and the palace is not easy to refuse, I think you are a clever girl, and you don't say much, in this Zijin Palace, there is only one rule, don't make trouble, don't provoke anyone inside the palace or outside the palace. ”

"Yes, poetry and painting follow the teachings of the mother." These few words, spoken lukewarmly, made Liu Shihua a little uncertain, and said in his heart, since he came, stay in this palace. It seems that this Ping Guifei is indeed not a master who is easy to serve, and she will have to be cautious in this palace in the future.

Concubine Ping nodded with satisfaction, "Yes." Just remember. As she spoke, Concubine Ping took Liu Shihua's hand and put the jade bracelet on Liu Shihua's wrist.

This sudden change in attitude caught Liu Shihua a little off guard, and she hurriedly took two steps back, "Niangniang, this can't be helped." ”

Concubine Ping bent the corners of her mouth, finally with a slight smile on her face, and took a step forward to hold Liu Shihua's hand. "This is a reward from this palace, you can enter the palace to talk to this palace, and it can be regarded as having a fate with this palace. As long as you serve this palace wholeheartedly, this palace will not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you for the reward." Liu Shihua hurriedly thanked him, and this reward was indeed a bit abrupt. Liu Shi said in her belly, she was so serious just now, and now she suddenly showed her goodwill, what kind of calculation did this Ping Concubine Niangniang have in her heart, this woman is really unfathomable.

"Bengong is tired, you go down to rest first, there is something Bengong sent someone to call you." After that, Concubine Ping sent Liu Shihua away.

Leaving the main hall, Liu Shihua's heart was still a little drumming, where is this concubine moody, it is clear that she is moody, and people can't guess her thoughts.

"Miss Liu, our mother is such a lukewarm character, don't be surprised, but, it seems that the mother likes you very much!" Said as he walked with the palace maid next to him.

Liu Shihua glanced at the little palace maid suspiciously, and asked rhetorically, "Like me?" How so? ”

The little palace maid smiled, "Hey, this bracelet in your hand, but the emperor gave it to Niangniang, Niangniang has been carrying it for more than ten years, and she has never taken it off, and now she has to give this bracelet to you, do you think you like it?" ”

Given by the emperor? Liu Shihua raised his hand and looked at the bracelet carefully, if he heard this palace maid say this, the weight of this gift is not light, but it is not just an ordinary meeting gift. But why? She is a noble concubine, why do you want to show favor to me as soon as we meet? What is the purpose? Liu Shihua began to think crankily, living in this palace, you must always be vigilant, others can't treat themselves cold, and they can't be hot, so you really have to be careful step by step.

Liu Shihua stroked the bracelet and replied with a smile, "I'm afraid that the mother is in love by mistake." ”

"By the way, what does Concubine Ping like to eat on weekdays? In the evening, Shihua wanted to prepare some food for his mother. Liu Shihua stroked the temperature of the bracelet, and the heart actually gave rise to a little temperature, a woman has no relatives and no reason in this deep palace, it should be very lonely, I heard that she is from Jinling, it is better to cook her some hometown food, and it is better to relieve the depression in her heart.

The little palace maid smiled, "Our mother has no appetite on weekdays, and she eats very little, and if the poetry and painting girl has any clever plans, she can't ask for it." ”

Liu Shihua nodded, "Well, try poetry and painting for the time being." ”

"Then there's Miss Lauliu. In fact, although Niangniang is cold, she is not picky, and she doesn't want to be a concubine Hui, and it is difficult to serve. The little palace maid said casually, but after saying it, she seemed to regret it, if this word reached the ears of Concubine Hui, it would kill her.

Liu Shihua smiled faintly, pretending not to hear anything. However, she suddenly became a little worried, with Xue'er's simple personality, she shouldn't suffer anything from Concubine Hui, right?
