Ling Xi opened the curtain on the phoenix car, looked at the green grass outside the window, it has been more than half a month since he left Yicheng, and he doesn't know where he has gone now, but looking at the spring colors all over the mountains, Ling Xi smiled slightly. She never dreamed that she could step out of the palace again in her lifetime and accompany Xiang Hongxuan out of the palace to tour the south, maybe she would like to thank Xiao Xiangxiang, without Xiang Hongxuan's grace to her, it would be impossible for these harem women to step out of the harem half a step in their lives.

Aunt Yan also looked out the window, a fresh breath came to her face, Aunt Yan smiled and said, "Queen Mother, it's a pity that the princess of the southern kingdom didn't come this time, otherwise Her Royal Highness the princess would definitely get out of the car noisily and play on the grass here." ”

Hearing Aunt Yan mention Xiang Yiyi, Ling Xi couldn't help but think of Feng Yingying, she was afraid that Xiao Xiangxiang's southern tour would have some conspiracy, so she specially suggested that Xiang Hongxuan take all the harem women out of the palace, and she took great pains to leave Aunt An in Xiyan Palace, so that she could rest assured that she would accompany Xiang Hongxuan on the tour, everything was arranged, and Feng Yingying and the child in her womb should not have any problems.

Inadvertently, Ling Xi's brows furrowed slightly, but unfortunately her painstaking arrangement made Xiang Hongxuan feel that she was still targeting Xiao Xiangxiang, Xiang Hongxuan simply let Xiao Xiangxiang sit in his dragon car, to show that Xiao Xiangxiang was different from other palace concubines, and Aunt An also seemed to be a little unhappy, thinking that Ling Xi was a little cold to her, Ling Xi lowered her head and sighed, when did her life become extremely complicated.

"In the future, when the princess grows up, she will marry out of the palace, and she will have the opportunity to come out and play." Ling Xi said lightly.

Suddenly, the phoenix car stopped, Ling Xi looked in front of Hongxuan's dragon car, and saw Xiang Hongxuan holding Xiao Xiangxiang's hand slowly getting out of the car, walking to the grass in the distance, after a while, a small chamberlain hurriedly came to Ling Xi's car, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, Xiao Nu Shi is a little unwell, Your Majesty and Xiao Nu Shi get off the car and walk around, the convoy will stay here for a while, please take a break." ”

Ling Xi nodded, and the little chamberlain left quickly, Ling Xi smiled bitterly, what does it mean to be unwell? It is estimated that when he saw this boundless spring, his mind became active again, Xiao Xiangxiang is really a master of wind and moon. Ling Xi looked at the cars of the other palace concubines in the rear, and the palace concubines also stepped out of the carriage one after another, breathing in the air different from the harem, and seemed to be very happy.

Ling Xi turned his head to look at Aunt Yan and said, "Aunt Yan, let's get out of the car and take a walk, along the way, this palace is also bumpy in this car." ”

Aunt Yan carefully helped Ling Xi to get out of the phoenix car, Ling Hope looked in the direction of Hongxuan and Xiao Xiangxiang, pointed to the woods in the opposite direction and said, "Let's go to the woods over there." ”

After speaking, they walked towards the woods, but as soon as Ling Xi walked to the edge of the woods, he vaguely saw two people standing in the corner of the woods, Ling Xi was a little curious, and walked in a little more, it was actually Zhou Xun, and the person in front of him was Lian Yingrong beside Xiao Xiangxiang.

"When did Zhou Shangshu become so close to His Majesty's harem?" Ling Xi asked Aunt Yan curiously.

Aunt Yan also saw them, she lowered her head and smiled, and said, "Niangniang, there are southerners in the harem and the former dynasty, how can the southerners not be close." ”

A gust of spring breeze blew, Ling Xi sneered, and said, "This wind is strong, it gives the palace a headache, let's get back." ”

After saying that, they left the woods quietly, as if they had never come, the rustling leaves in the woods were shaking in the wind, except for Zhou Xun and Lian Yingrong, there was no one else.

Lian Yingrong blessed Zhou Xun slightly, and said: "The slave maid has seen Lord Zhou, and the slave maid is the palace person next to the Xiao Nu Shi. ”

Zhou Xun looked at the palace person in front of him, although this woman seemed to be not young anymore, but her temperament and elegance in her gestures, Zhou Xun thought that when this palace person was young, he should also be a stunning beauty. I didn't expect that an old palace person in Nanxi Kingdom could be so eye-catching, it can be seen that Nanxi's harem is really beautiful.

"This aunt is polite, you and I are both southerners, so you don't have to be so outside." Zhou Xun said politely.

Although a harem palace person is not worthy of his such politeness, a palace person who has to favor the palace concubine is worth it, and there is no harm in the Lala relationship.

The corners of Lian Yingrong's mouth rose slightly, she looked at Zhou Xun and said: "When the slave was young, she was fortunate to go to Uncle Zhou's mansion, and Lord Zhou had the style of a father. ”

Zhou Xun remembered his father, when the capital of Nanchang was broken, his father blocked the imperial city with his life, although it was meaningless, but his father said that this was what a courtier should do, and finally his father died under the knife of Dongyu soldiers, in exchange for the Nanchang Emperor to surrender time.

Zhou Xun's eyebrows frowned slightly, he looked at this palace person carefully, and asked suspiciously: "Auntie has been to Nanchang Kingdom?" ”

Suddenly, Lian Yingrong took a few steps closer to Zhou Xun and whispered beside him: "Lord Zhou, the slave maid has not only been to Nanchang Country, the slave maid has lived in Nanchang Country for many years, and the slave maid is called Hua Xiangrui when she is in Nanchang Country. ”

After speaking, Lian Yingrong immediately took a few steps back, but Zhou Xun was dumbfounded, Lian Yingrong looked at Zhou Xun's surprised appearance and smiled lightly.

"You are the flower fragrance that made a song famous in Nanchang back then?" Zhou Xun whispered.

"It's the slave." Lian Yingrong said firmly.

For a while, Zhou Xun was full of thoughts, the woman in front of him was the first person in Nanchang State, although she was still an official prostitute in the end, but Hua Xiangrui's song caused a sensation in the entire Nanchang Kingdom, and even the Nanchang Emperor invited her to the palace to perform, and at that time the name Hua Xiangrui became synonymous with the dream lover of all men in Nanchang Kingdom.

At that time, how many nobles did not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to see the side of Hua Xiangrui, but it was just to look at it from a distance, when Hua Xiangrui was in its prime, famous all over the world, she refused the favor of Emperor Nanchang, refused to know how many nobles, and finally chose the famous Yan Ziming, a famous man to marry a merry and talented man, which became a sensation in the world at that time.

Such a legendary beauty is now standing in front of Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun is a little excited in his heart, but it's a pity that even Yingrong's face in front of him is the erosion of time, and the beauty is old.

"Legend has it that you died when the Nanchang Kingdom was broken, how did you end up in the harem of the Nanxi Kingdom?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

Lian Yingrong sneered, and she said lightly: "When the Dongyu army approached the city that day, Lord Yan told the slave maid that he was going to die and die for the country, and the slave maid couldn't bear to be separated from him, so he decided to accompany him to the death. The night before Jiangcheng broke, we came to the lake, intending to jump into the lake and die for the country, but Lord Yan said that the water was too cold, and we would come back tomorrow. ”

Zhou Xun's face twitched constantly, and the smile on his face became a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help asking, "How cold is the lake water?" ”

Lian Yingrong lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something, and after a long time, she said, "The slave maid thinks, it has probably cooled into the bone marrow of Lord Yan." ”

The smile on Zhou Xun's face gradually disappeared, and in his stiff mouth, he said coldly: "So you didn't commit suicide and martyrdom, but secretly escaped the night before Jiangcheng City was broken?" ”

"To be precise, it was Lord Yan who secretly escaped with his family overnight, and since then he has been incognito, not knowing where he is secretly living, and the slave and maid have been forgotten by Lord Yan in the city. After the city was broken, the slave maid died nine times before fleeing to Nanxi country, I wanted to go to my sister and brother-in-law, but I didn't want them to get the plague, they died not long after, there was no way, the slave maid could only live in Nanxi by relying on talent, and finally entered Nanxi's harem to be a small aunt of the teacher. ”

"The bitterness is sweet, my aunt is now in Dongyu's harem, and the history of Xiao Nu is so favored, my aunt will not drift away in troubled times." Zhou Xun said lightly.

Lian Yingrong smiled slightly, she looked at Zhou Xun's somewhat solemn expression, and said: "Lord Zhou, speaking of which, we are also considered to be in a foreign land, and the southerners have to help each other, and the history of the Xiao girl will have to rely on Lord Zhou's favor and support in the future." ”

Zhou Xun was stunned, he looked at Lian Yingrong in front of him, a famous singer experienced war twice, entered the palace for the second time, the woman in front of him was not simple, and then looked at Xiang Hongxuan's favor for Xiao Xiangxiang, he seemed to understand a little, Xiao Xiangxiang has Lian Yingrong by his side, how can he not be a special pet, maybe Lian Yingrong's proposal is good.

Although he knew that Xiang Hongxuan minded the previous dynasty and the harem the most, but the harem could not go long without the support of the previous dynasty, and a rootless southerner official like him would have a smooth career and be difficult to last without the help of the harem. Now even Princess Zhaoqing dares to get involved in the court, and the road to the future will become more and more difficult, and the risks and benefits are the same, and it is worth the risk.

"That's nature."

Suddenly, Zhou Xun's brows furrowed, he seemed to think of something, he looked at Lian Yingrong, and said softly: "When you became famous, I was still young, and then my family and country changed dramatically, and I didn't have the opportunity to listen to your singing voice, I don't know if I can have the honor to listen to you sing a song today, the famous song that moved Nanchang was born and I was not born, and I was born and I was old?" ”

A smile floated on Lian Yingrong's face, she looked at Zhou Xun, who was very thoughtful, and said: "That song is actually half a song, after the slave maid arrived in Nanxi Kingdom, she finished composing the second half of the song, the first half of the song is too long, the slave and maid can't remember the words, then the slave and the maid will sing the second half of the song for the adult, you have to listen carefully." ”

After speaking, Lian Yingrong turned around elegantly and walked in the direction of the dragon car, and a light singing voice slowly came.

"Eighteen brides and eighty langs, white-haired and gray-haired to red, mandarin ducks are in pairs, and a pear tree presses begonias, it's just ridiculous."

Even Yingrong gradually disappeared into the singing, and Zhou Xun also stood quietly in place, and he didn't know how long it had been. This kind of singing voice is unforgettable, although he doesn't know how beautiful the first half of the song was back then, and the second half of the song that gradually disappeared in his ears is like a sound from outside the sky, whether it is a song or a word, it makes people's hearts difficult to calm down for a long time. Zhou Xun confirmed that Lian Yingrong was the flower of the year, because no one except her could sing such a beautiful and heart-piercing song.

Suddenly, a little chamberlain hurriedly came to Zhou Xun's side and said, "Lord Zhou, Your Majesty and the ladies have already returned to the car, you hurry up and get in the car, the royal car is about to move forward." ”

Zhou Xun glanced at the direction Lian Yingrong left again, he lowered his head and walked silently towards the carriage.
