Seeing Concubine Xu coming, Gu Yunyao looked surprised, got up and walked two steps to bless each other with Concubine Xu, and the waiters of the two palaces saluted each other.

The masters sat down, and Songqin offered hot tea.

After Concubine Xu drank tea, Gu Yunyao asked:

"Why did my sister come overnight?"

Concubine Xu replied with a smile:

"My daughter will see you occasionally coughing, and this palace has made a melon snail snow fungus porridge, which is the most nourishing yin and nourishing lungs, you can taste it while it's hot."

Gu Yunxi stepped forward at the right time, bowed his head silently, and handed the food box to Zhao An.

Zhao An lifted the lid and looked at the bowl of fragrant milky white gruel inside, and instantly felt inexplicable, and his expression was stunned.

The porridge bowl was placed in the master's hand, and Zhao An subconsciously turned his head to look.

Gu Yunxi noticed that there were two scrutinizing gazes around her, and they were staring at her.

Fortunately, she has changed her face, as long as she remains calm, no matter how careful Zhao An is, she can't see anything unusual.

In her ears, Concubine Xu's soft voice sounded:

"Sister, try it, how does this sweet porridge taste?"

Gu Yunyao thanked Concubine Xu and took two sips of the bowl, her eyes lit up:

"The porridge is sweet and not greasy, the snail meat is fragrant, and the snow fungus is glutinous, which is indeed delicious."

"This porridge is from the hand of a new maid in Chuxiu Palace, and she also made the crispy mountain in the morning."

Concubine Xu smiled and turned her head:

"Twilight, I've seen Yu Zhaoyi."

Gu Yunxi hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Gu Yunyao, and his voice trembled with excitement:

"Slave Twilight...... I've seen Yu Zhaoyi. ”

The moment he stepped into Xiaoxuan, Gu Yunxi's mood was full of flavors, and it was indescribably complicated.

Since entering the palace, she has won the attention of Concubine Xu with her exquisite cooking skills and witty mind, and now she has become Niangniang's close palace maid, so she has the opportunity to follow Niangniang to the palace where Gu Yunyao lives.

The two sisters were close at hand, but because of her humble status as a palace maid, she didn't dare to raise her head because of the palace rules, so she went to meet Gu Yunyao's warm eyes, forcibly suppressed a sad and bitter heart, and lowered her eyes like water.

Gu Yunyao thought that this Gong'e was just too cautious, and glanced at her lightly, and then returned to the bowl of sweet porridge with her eyes, as if she was stuck in some memory, and her deep smile was slightly sad:

"Twilight Snow...... If you are a clever person, the porridge you make is delicious......"

Gu Yunxi opened his mouth to thank him, but he saw Gu Yunyao covering his mouth with his hand, and he coughed again.

Songqin came over to stroke the master's back, Zhao An brought hot tea, Concubine Xu hurriedly stood up, and asked worriedly and worriedly:

"My sister is sick, why don't you send the imperial doctor to come and heal the pulse?"

Gu Yunyao took a sip of hot tea and smiled bitterly:

"Doctor Jiang from the Imperial Hospital originally came frequently, and after taking a lot of medicine, it didn't work, and the concubines who repeated it were also tired of it, so let's just go with this disease."

"How does this work?"

Concubine Xu's expression changed after hearing this, and she frowned and said hurriedly:

"With all due respect, I don't know what trouble is buried in Sister Yu's heart, but you should know that since you have entered the palace to accept your favor, the only one you can rely on in the future is the emperor.

As a concubine, you need to put all your mind on him, and the only person you can care about is him.

There is a saying that the deep palace is ruthless and resentful, and it is favored for a while and out of favor for a lifetime, this truth does not need to be said by this palace, right? ”

Gu Yunyao nodded and smiled, and a light mist appeared in her beautiful eyes:

"The reason that my sister said is for the sake of the concubine, how can the concubine not know. It's just that the deep palace is cold, and when I think about that sister, an empty heart will always be comforted.

Now that she is missing, the concubine has lost her thoughts, her chest is empty, and she has no thoughts. ”

Gu Yunxi stood behind Concubine Xu, her nose was sour unconsciously, her beating atrium seemed to be torn apart, and the suffocating pain made her suddenly want to cry.

How much she wanted to rush out and say to her sister who missed her day and night, the person she was looking forward to was right in front of her.

However, there are too many things to find out, and she can't take risks.

"Hongu naturally understands ......"

Concubine Xu's eyes were red at this time, she held Gu Yunyao's slightly cold hand, and said comfortingly:

"You are a person who values love and righteousness, so you should also think about the palace people in Xiaoye Xuan who are loyal to you.

There are many snobs in the palace who watch the tide coldly and praise the high and the low. You are also a cute pet, once you fall out of favor, it is difficult for people to do it in others. When he returns to your sister, he will be heartbroken and uneasy to see you like this. ”

Gu Yunyao burst into tears at the moment:

"What my sister said is very true, I think it is indeed a concubine who is stupid, and after talking to my sister, I feel that I have benefited a lot. From then on, the concubines should be excited, take care of their bodies as soon as possible, and serve the emperor wholeheartedly. ”

"So good......

Concubine Xu smiled happily:

"There's one more thing about this palace coming tonight. Because he studied calligraphy with his father since he was a child, it shouldn't be difficult to come to the palace to imitate his sister's handwriting.

From now on, the palace has come to accompany my sister in the night hall every day, and copied the "Lingbao Sutra" with my sister. ”

Gu Yunyao was moved when she heard this, and Zhao An and Song Qin looked at each other with joy.

Gu Yunyao ate all the sweet porridge in a few bites, cleaned her hands and mouth, and sat down with Concubine Xu in front of the bookcase to start writing together.

The night is quiet, and a warm orange candlelight envelops the main hall, outlining a pair of graceful and warm shadows on the wall.

Gu Yunxi stood in the corner with his hands folded, raised his eyes silently, and looked at the two women who were buried in copying in front of the bookcase, and the sadness in his heart suddenly disappeared.

The capital is cold and untrue, and in the cruel environment of people stepping on people, it is a great fortune to meet like-minded people, and they cherish each other and walk together.

In front of him, there was someone who could take care of Gu Yunyao instead of him, and every time he encouraged her who was disheartened, Gu Yunxi felt extremely relieved.

——

On the night of the Seventh Daughter's Day in July, the lights are lit up all over the capital, and the night is crowded, and the streets are also crowded with people, and there is an endless stream of travelers.

Lan Xin couldn't wait for a long time, and as soon as the time came for her to be allowed to leave the palace, she took a bite of the snow fruit made by Gu Yunxi, and pulled her straight to the Shenwu Gate with one hand.

Her good looks have long been waiting at the palace gate.

This forbidden army guard surnamed Fan is less than twenty, with clear eyebrows and a gentle personality, which is a perfect match for the grinning Lan Xin.

When the three of them didn't go around together, Gu Yunxi casually found an excuse and successfully got rid of them and went shopping alone.

Because she followed the two of them quietly on the road, seeing that the two of them kissed me hand in hand for a while, and fed each other sweet and sour snow fruits for a while, Gu Yunxi's heart was very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the two of them are as sweet as honey, and she is inseparable there, then she will hopelessly miss her cold overlord.

It's always awkward to have one more person in the world of two, and Mo Ruo will walk away by himself.

Gu Yunxi followed the bustling crowd to the bank of the Yinshui River.

This wide river is a branch of the Jinshui moat on the periphery of the palace, and people choose to come to this silver water river every year when people need to put river lanterns on traditional festivals, especially the Daughter's Day.

According to the custom, on the night of Daughter's Day, unmarried women who have passed the year of the river can put a river lantern in the river, and the more daring ones will fill in the river lantern with their own name and Nian Geng, so that the river lantern can drift down the river.

At that time, young single men would stand guard across the river, salvage the river lanterns on the shore, and look through the names of the women inside.

If you are interested, you will try your best to find your own family, or send a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.

Gu Yunxi arrived at the west bank of the Yinshui River, where the air was humid, making the gentle evening breeze refreshing and pleasant.

At night, countless river lanterns float on the sparkling river, and the glimmer of candle flames shines on them.

As far as the eye can see, many river lamps are like starlight, and the mighty and mighty light curtain will light up the entire silver water river, and the scorching brilliance is endless.

There are stalls selling river lanterns on the bank, and the boss sells them on the spot, and can make exquisite river lanterns of various shapes according to the needs of buyers.

Gu Yunxi walked over, took out copper coins but didn't buy river lanterns, only asked the boss for a page of red paper and folded it into a boat.

The boss saw it, melted some wax and dripped, and told her to do this to protect the paper boat from being soaked in the river.

Gu Yunxi thanked the boss, came to the shore with the paper boat in his hand, put two snow fruits in the belly of the boat, and then flowed the paper boat to the river, silently watching the red paper boat drift away on the sparkling river.
