The concubines only left on the front foot, and the green foot came into the palace to visit with a portable gift. Yao Duran was naturally happy, and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed with her spirit. Seeing that she was fine, Lu Yan let go of her suspense, and suddenly said, "Sister, I'm ...... I have come with one person today, and she is also going to see my sister, who is waiting outside the temple at this time. ”

Yao Duran was puzzled: "Who is it?" ”

Lu Yan said: "It's Lord Du's wife, Xie Yuanzhi." ”

Yao Duran was immediately surprised: "Xie Yuanzhi? What are you taking her into the palace for? ”

Lu Yan explained: "Sister, she came to Yuan's Mansion to find me early this morning, saying that sister, you were injured at the princess's place, and I will definitely go to the palace to visit, so she made a special trip to ask me to take her into the palace together. ”

Yao Duran listened to it, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "That's it, we will always see each other in the future." Biya, go and ask Mrs. Du to come in. ”

After a while, a goose-yellow figure slowly entered the hall, and from her posture, she was respectful and nervous.

Yao Duran turned his eyes and saw that the person who came was Xie Yuanzhi, who had not been seen for nearly a year. She has a plump figure, a delicate fit, a graceful and beautiful face, and the mature charm of a woman is seen in her, and she wants to be moisturized in a small day.

Xie Yuanzhi walked slowly to the bed and saluted respectfully: "The courtiers visit Concubine Chen, and the lady is very happy." ”

Yao Duran wiped away the complexity in her eyes, and said in a calm tone: "Mrs. Du, get up quickly and give me a seat." ”

"Xie Niangniang." Xie Yuanzhi sat down on the footstool in front of the bed, and only then did she dare to raise her eyes to look at Yao Duran, and saw that the woman in front of her was already extravagant from the inside, and her beauty was no longer hidden, and she was vividly and vividly born, which was amazing at a glance. She was leaning leisurely on the cushion at the head of the bed, with a blood swallow on the low table at hand, a bowl of steaming decoction, a small dish of crab roe crisp, a small dish of pitted lychee, a cup of fragrant tea, and a few drugged dates. Xie Yuanzhi sighed secretly, sure enough, this time is different from the past, women, it still depends on who she is, now she is raised by the king in the deep palace, with fine clothes and jade food, arrogant everywhere, no longer humble, she is already a person on the clouds.

"Mrs. Du, please have tea." Qingtang presented fragrant tea, Xie Yuanzhi came back to her senses, politely took it in her hand, and said, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

Seeing her attitude, Yao Duran had vaguely guessed her intentions in her heart. This got straight to the point: "Mrs. Du is a guest, so you don't need to be polite." I just don't know what Mrs. Du is doing when she comes to the palace today? ”

Xie Yuanzhi's half-drooping beautiful eyes glanced left and right, and her expression was embarrassed.

Yao Duran understood, and her beautiful eyes swept around: "You all go down, this palace and Mrs. Du want to catch up quietly." ”

Lu Yan was interested, and also took the initiative to stand up: "Niangniang, when the courtiers came, they saw that the scenery in Niangniang's garden was very beautiful, and they just went out to enjoy it." ”

When there was no one in the hall, Yao Duran looked at Xie Yuanzhi, waiting for her words.

Who knew that Xie Yuanzhi actually put down the teacup, and knelt in front of her bed without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yao Duran pretended to be surprised: "What is Mrs. Du doing?" ”

Xie Yuanzhi gritted her teeth secretly, and finally said: "Niangniang, some things in the past were indeed the fault of the courtiers, and the courtiers have already deeply introspected. Now that the mother is willing to come and soar, I hope that the lady will not remember the villain and forget the past. ”

Really. Yao Duran laughed secretly twice in his heart, time has changed, and now even this arrogant and arrogant Xie Yuanzhi has learned to be obedient and has done smart things. At this moment, she suddenly realized the benefits of power and fame.

The temperature of the medicine was just right, Yao Duran reached out and picked it up, stirred it gently, and slowly sipped it spoonful.

Seeing this, Xie Yuanzhi knelt in place and didn't dare to move or speak.

The quiet needle drop in the hall could be heard, and Yao Duran seemed to be in a no-man's land, drinking the medicine slowly, and there was nothing else in his eyes.

Time passed little by little in the silence and stalemate, and finally, Yao Duran's medicine bowl was empty, she picked up a jujube and took a bite to chew slowly, and finally turned her eyes and was suddenly surprised: "Oh, why is Mrs. Du still kneeling?" Hurry up, get up, get up. ”

Xie Yuanzhi saw that she finally paid attention to the person, and hurriedly answered: "Niangniang, the courtiers don't know your mind, and they are really afraid to get up." ”

Yao Duran said slowly: "After thinking about it, I feel that what Mrs. Du said is really reasonable. Then Mrs. Du, please get up, there is really no need to be so frightened in front of this palace. In private, this palace is glad that today, and it is willing to forget the past. Yu Gong, His Majesty values Lord Du, and as a concubine in this palace, he will not damage the harmony of the monarch and ministers because of his own selfishness. ”

When Xie Yuanzhi heard this, she was overjoyed, and then she got up.

"But ......," Yao Duran suddenly changed his words.

Xie Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, and her anxiety rose again: "Niangniang? But what? ”

Yao Duran said: "The past can be forgotten by this palace, but you have to let this palace understand it before you can forget it completely, isn't it?" ”

Xie Yuanzhi was puzzled: "Niangniang, please make it clear." ”

Yao Duran said: "Say, what is the hurdle that you couldn't pass through the palace in the past?" ”

Xie Yuanzhi suddenly realized, Yao Duran revisited the old words and asked about the hurdle in the past, she didn't answer at the beginning, but today she can't help but answer.

Xie Yuanzhi lowered her eyes and said in a difficult tone: "Lord Du has always loved Niangniang, doesn't Niangniang know?" ”

I see!

Yao Duran suddenly realized. It turned out that Xie Yuanzhi already knew Du Yan's intentions for her, so she had this hurdle that she couldn't get over, so she chased her and helped the princess take her son. It turns out that all this is because of a love word.

Xie Yuanzhi saw that she was silent, and thought that she didn't believe this reason, and said: "Niangniang, the courtiers are not lying, Lord Du has indeed always admired Niangniang, and once called Niangniang's name in a dream, and the courtiers are ...... Disgruntled. There is another thing, even the courtiers only found out the day before yesterday. ”

Yao Duran came back to her senses and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Yuanzhi said: "The day before yesterday, the courtiers went to the flower shop when they were shopping, but the shopkeeper of the flower shop actually joked with the courtiers, saying that Lord Du had personally bought a branch of flowers to give to his wife every day, and did he still need the courtiers to buy it in person?" The courtiers were very puzzled when they heard it, because the courtiers had never received the husband's endless flowers, so they went back to the house to find the husband's entourage and asked them in every possible way, and finally found out that the endless flowers that Lord Du had personally bought every day were personally sent to Hehuan Lane by him every day, and they were sent anonymously and secretly. Speaking of which, I believe that the mother also has a number in her heart, so the courtiers will say all this. ”

I see!

Another truth has been revealed without warning!

It turned out that the anonymous person who sent the flowers turned out to be Du Yan?

Yao Duran thought carefully, those endless flowers appeared in the saddest days after she was abandoned by Qiao Fengzhi, and she didn't know that they were a branch every day, pinned to the courtyard gate. She also thought about it, could it be Qiao Fengzhi? Later, I was thinking, could it be Huo Jingcheng? But in any case, I didn't expect Du Yan to go up, the Du Yan who looked calm and serious, and didn't show any romantic heart and gentle feelings.

It turned out to be him?

Yes, yes, it's him! I think that at the beginning, he came to Hehuan Lane to help her "catch ghosts", and when the two were on the roof, she asked him why he knew that there were ghosts tonight, and his answer at that time was that he happened to meet someone sneaking in front of her door during the day, and now that I think about it, that "coincidence" has a reason.

Because he just secretly went to deliver flowers when he saw someone sneaking in front of her door! That's why they saved a few of their masters and servants by mistake.

In the silence, Yao Duran understood everything. She slowly calmed down, looked at Xie Yuanzhi, and gave a word: "Mrs. Du, don't worry, this palace will be harmonious with you in the future." But let these old things disappear, and Mrs. Du will never mention them again, otherwise if they spread and reach His Majesty's ears, it will be unfavorable to everyone at that time. ”

Xie Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "What Niangniang said is very true, and the courtiers understand. ”

Yao Duran said, "Okay." At present, Lord Du is traveling on business and doing business outside, and the palace as a concubine should take more care of the family members of the important ministers, and the palace will send someone to Du Mansion early tomorrow morning to send some rewards, and I hope that Mrs. Du will accept it with a smile. ”

Xie Yuanzhi understood, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, courtier!" ”

Yao Duran said: "You don't need to be polite, the palace is also tired, then, I won't leave Mrs. Du." ”

"Yes, the mother is recuperating, and the courtiers are retiring."

After Xie Yuanzhi left, Lu Yan returned to the hall, and the two held hands and chatted a few words.

In the end, Lu Yan remembered a serious matter, and hurriedly took out a folded letter from his sleeve, and said: "Sister, Lord Yuan knew that I was going to visit the palace, so he gave me his newly composed music, saying that this song is light and pleasant, melodious and beautiful, and Niangniang will definitely forget her sorrows, soothe her fears, and be full of joy." My sister put away the score, and then asked the musicians in the palace to practice it and play it on the flute. ”

Only then did Yao Duran remember that Yuan Mohua still had a peerless flute sound. She also heard it once at Concubine De's winter solstice banquet, and it was indeed extraordinary. It is said that the sound of his flute can change people's minds, and the music he composed can also change the mood.

"Lord Yuan has a heart, Lu Yan, thank Lord Yuan for his kindness on my behalf." Yao Duran smiled lightly and took over the score.

As a result, that night, the score fell into Huo Jingcheng's hands.

He ordered her beauty couch to be carried to the terrace and let her lean on it, while he himself sat cross-legged on the brocade cushion opposite, took the flute that Qin An had taken, and practiced the score.

The flute is messy, staccato, forked, wrongly corrected, and reblown......

Yao Duran was full of irritability when she heard this, and finally couldn't help but say: "Liulang, I finally found another shortcoming of you, it turns out that you don't understand music?" ”

Huo Jingcheng put down the flute, looked dissatisfied and didn't bother to pay attention to her, and shouted: "Qin An! Go get the piano again! ”

Qin An went back and forth to get the qin, Huo Jingcheng put the qin in front of him, and plucked it with his slender fingers without saying a word. In an instant, a smooth and beautiful melody poured out, melodious from the terrace, and the night was rendered more and more sultry.

Yao Duran was dumbfounded, and he listened attentively, and waited until he finished playing a song before he came back to his senses.

Huo Jingcheng withdrew his hand, looked at her and said proudly: "What did you say then?" Say it again? ”

Yao Duran shook her head habitually, her neck hurt all of a sudden, she quickly pressed her neck and blurted out: "I didn't say anything?" Oops, this wound really hurts when it moves. ”
