Winter is coming and spring is coming, and the dynasty is old. The Chengxin Garden with green willows supporting the wind has a bit of early spring vitality. I didn't feel that the Empress Dowager had been infected for more than two months, and now she was able to walk slowly with the support of the palace people, and seeing that the illness had improved a little, the Empress Dowager sent someone to call Xuan Ye to discuss the matter of returning to Luan.

"It's been two months since I suffered from this partial blight, and this body has mostly healed under the care of the imperial doctor, so I should go back to the palace." The Empress Dowager leaned on the bed and said slowly.

Xuan Ye raised his head and asked, "Why don't you go back to the palace when you are well?" ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head and smiled: "It's all a bit of a chronic disease, where is there a big deal." If you stay here all the time, it will be extremely inconvenient for the court to always hand over big and small matters to Chengxin Garden. ”

There are now two things in the court that give Xuan Ye the most headaches, one is the flooding of the Yellow River, Jin Fu has many disagreements because of the governance of the river, although Xuan Ye dismissed Jin Fu from his post, but he still ordered him to govern the river after thinking that he had ruled the river for a long time. On the other hand, Yao Qisheng Shi Lang's invasion of Taiwan has now reached a critical moment, so all these things are allowed to be played if they are not played.

Xuan Ye bowed his head when he heard this.

The sunlight shining in from the window brought a little warmth, and the Empress Dowager looked at the window and said lightly: "I heard that the imperial concubine's child is gone." ”

Xuan Ye's face was slightly surprised: "Huang Ma knows everything?" ”

The Empress Dowager inadvertently glanced at the people in the palace at the door, and said slowly: "What else can I hide from this palace?" After speaking, he sighed again, "Since the imperial concubine has taken care of the harem, everything has been handled in an orderly manner, and this temperament is also very similar to her aunt, so I like it." It's just that the child is gone twice in a row, maybe it's really the time to die. ”

When Xuan Ye heard the Empress Dowager mention Empress Xiaokangzhang, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes, and then she said calmly: "Sun Er has decreed that the person who murdered the princess will be severely punished. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said, "It's just that this time I went back to the palace, I never liked it too much, so I didn't need to ask the concubine to come to greet me." ”

"The grandson obeys the will of the emperor."

When Xuan Ye got up to leave, he glanced at the person from the Palm Lantern Palace through the door.

On March 16, after Xuan Ye served the Empress Dowager and settled down in Cining Palace, he strode towards Chengqian Palace.

Xuan Ye looked at Yixin waiting outside the hall, and asked, "Where is your master?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the mother just rested."

Xuan Ye was puzzled: "What time is it now, how can you rest?" ”

Yixin said with a sad face: "Since the princess died, the mother barely laughed during the day, but it was difficult to sleep at night, and she often cried unconsciously when she looked at the princess's relics. After a few days, the description was also haggard. Concubine Rong and Tong Guiren persuaded many times to no avail. ”

"At this time, how can the mother's body eat. The slave asked His Majesty to comfort the mother. "Interpret the heart and bow down.

Xuan Ye called her to get up, retreated from everyone, and walked to the side of the bed lightly, he saw a small dress at the foot of the bed, he sighed lightly, gently brushed Qingyu's face, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and felt a burst of regret in her heart, hating herself for not fulfilling her responsibilities, from Mei'er's birth to her death, she didn't have time to see her. Qing Yu suddenly woke up from her dream, looked at Xuan Ye who suddenly appeared in front of her, and mistakenly thought that she was still in a dream, and rubbed her eyes to confirm it again.

Xuan Ye hurriedly held Qing Yu's hands and said, "I'm too late to come back." ”

Qing Yu's heart was mixed for a while, and she only cared about her sadness secretly, and she didn't know what to say, so she sighed again and again.

Seeing this, Xuan Ye hugged Qingyu into his arms, held her hand tightly and said, "It's because I'm not good, I can't protect our daughter." When I was in Chengxin Garden, I heard the news of Mei'er's birth, and I went through ancient books and classics to give her a name, called Si Chu. ”

May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.

Qingyu said softly: "It's a pity that the concubine still didn't keep the child."

Xuan Ye comforted: "The child can have it again, but there is only one person." I'd rather not have children, but only miss the phoenix. ”

Qing Yu's eyes flashed with tears, and the person in front of her looked a little unreal, she was happy that Xuan Ye was sincere to her and lamented herself.

Xuan Ye hugged Qing Yu and said, "I just listened to Yi Xin, you can't sleep at night, and you often cry. Seeing that Qingyu bowed his head and was silent, Xuan Ye continued, "You don't know your body, how can you bear it." I will be with you, and I will not do it again. ”

Qing Yu was silent, quietly snuggling in Xuan Ye's arms, and at this moment her heart settled down a little.

Xuan Ye stayed in Chengqian Palace for several days, and he never summoned other concubines.

However, at this time, the head of the Cining Palace, Wan Liuhahuanchu, because of his meritorious service, was sealed under the instruction of the Empress Dowager, and the palace maid was named Chang Zai and got the title as soon as he came, this is the first one, although everyone talked about it, but they did not dare to offend the Ding Chang Zai, after all, it was the decree of the Empress Dowager herself.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Yi gave birth to the ninth elder brother, and Concubine Wen and Concubine De all gave birth to children one after another.

The previous dynasty was also a good thing, the river channel governed by Jin Fu has been unimpeded, and the affairs of Taiwan have also been calmed. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Hui invited a banquet to be held in Chonghua Palace to celebrate the happy event.

Qing Shi helped Qing Yu into Chonghua Palace, she was very elegant today, and she only wore a stone blue pigment face gown. There are two or three hollow steps on the bun at random. Qing Yu looked at the laughter of all the people in the hall, recalling the joy at the full moon banquet of Mei'er, but now, only lamentation.

Today, Concubine Wen Guifei was wearing a concubine-colored dress and sat under Qing Yu. When he sat down, he happened to hear someone exclaiming: "Is this the clothes woven from the Shu brocade given by the emperor?" The concubine is really beautiful when she wears it. ”

Concubine Wen put down the teacup in her hand and said with a light smile: "Why did the noble Zhaojia say that? There are still imperial concubines and other sisters in the palace who are more beautiful than the main palace. After that, she wiped her hands with a shark silk and replied, "Now there are many talents in the harem." This palace is like this, just to live in peace. ”

As soon as the words came out, no one around dared to say anything. Xuan Ye frowned. Concubine Wen raised the corner of her eyes, her gaze passed over the concubines, but she slipped past Qing Shi intentionally or unintentionally, pointing directly at the new Dingchang.

I saw that he was always born well, although he was a little thin, but between his eyebrows, he had a unique appearance. Her hand shook subconsciously, and then she raised the wine bottle and said: "How fortunate is the concubine to be able to participate in the banquet here with your sisters, and the concubine will first toast the imperial concubine Niangniang." ”

Qing Yu's eyes were slightly raised, and he took a glass and drank a bottle of wine. The next moment, the musicians played, the piano sang in unison, and the dancers danced in their skirts.

Concubine Wen lightly scooped the soup served by the palace people with a spoon, and earnestly served it to Xuan Ye, and said respectfully: "This is the soup that the concubine ordered the imperial dining room to make specially for His Majesty, and the name is Longjing Zhusun." How about Your Majesty taste it? ”

Xuan Ye glanced at the soup in her hand slightly, took a sip of the white jade bowl, put it aside, and only said that it was okay.

Concubine Wen's face was a little embarrassed.

The singing and dancing at the bottom is still the same, only to see a woman half-covered veil, with the sound of the piano, lightly stretching the long sleeves, the sound of the piano is urgent, several ribbons are also scattered in response to the situation, fluttering up, like a dragonfly dotting water, after a dance, everyone present is amazed.

Zheng Nahan is which dancing girl, the veil is hanging down, it is Guo Luo Luo Qingru, the sister of Concubine Yi.

Xuan Ye looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Ling Bo's micro-step socks are dusty, who saw that he was slender at that time." Although I have never seen Xie Aman dance, I think that if I want to come to Qingru this Lingbo dance, it is not inferior to her. ”

Guo Guiren stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has won the award, and the concubine's body is just dancing some fur, and it can enter Your Majesty's eyes." ”

"It's just ......" Xuan Ye looked at Qingyu beside him, and said: "If it is paired with the imperial concubine's pipa, it will definitely add a lot of color." ”

Guo Guiren pushed the boat down the river and said: "The concubine heard that the imperial concubine shocked the four with a song of the spring river flower moonlit night. The concubine body is really beyond the reach of the dust. ”

Xuan Ye nodded with satisfaction.

Naturally, this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was left by Guo Guiren and dispersed.

Qing Shi wanted to return to the palace, but his heart turned around and walked towards the imperial garden.
