There is still a little light cold in late spring, at this time it has entered the early summer, even if there are showers, it is not cool, and the umbrella bones are wet and drizzle, so they will walk slowly along the road. It should have been when the west wind blew down the flowers and thousands of trees, but the magnolia in the imperial garden was dense, and the white petals were delicate, and it seemed that when the spring was gone, it would do its best to bloom its last touch of color.

As soon as the three feudatories were in turmoil this night, the palace had not heard of happy events for a long time, and the news that Qingyu was pregnant came out from Chengqian, which was like a boulder entering the water, stirring up a thousand waves. The secrets of the palace back then seemed to have been mentioned again, and Qingyu's pregnancy was also something that everyone in the palace had to talk about after dinner. What's more, the Qing Dynasty is involved, saying that the clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old language. In the Qing Dynasty, he only ignored it, and went to the Chengqian Palace when he had free time, but deliberately went around from the imperial garden.

The magnolia is rippling with rain, and when Qing Shi raises his hand to touch the cold, a momentary memory can be traced back to the excitement of being under the magnolia tree when he was a child, picking flowers in his hand, but now it is difficult to find the traces of the original from the face. Qing Shi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then suddenly withdrew his fingers.

Or because of the rain, there are occasionally one or two attendants in the imperial garden who pass by without words, it seems to be unusually lonely, and suddenly I hear a clear sound coming from afar, singing is round and jade, but with a little desolation.

"The willows are dark and the smoke is dense, and the flowers are red and the rain is flying. This person, person and willow are similar, the heart of the flower blows people's hearts, and the willow eyebrows do not turn to the moth eyebrows. Why is the West Garden steep and shabby? It is Dongjun who doesn't care about people and is haggard. ①”

Qing Shi couldn't help but hesitate and asked Yuxun on his side: "Who is singing?" Yu Xun replied respectfully, "It's Wang Jia's promise from Xianfu Palace." ”

"Where did she come from?" Although he has been in the palace for more than a few months in the Qing Dynasty, he knows very little about the affairs of the palace. Yu Xun was originally in Cining Palace to serve Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing died several times after the dispatch to Ning Huiyuan, Cining Palace was originally the living (2) of the deceased, perennial silence, harem trivial matters can not be heard, but only after the abolition of the first emperor on the side, can only vaguely hear some news from the mouth of the passing rap palace people.

At this time, Qing Shi suddenly asked, she didn't know where to start, and paused for a moment and said: "The slave doesn't know very well, but I just heard from the palace people that this Wang Jia promised to be extremely favored, but I don't know what crime she committed to anger the saint, and she was reprimanded as a promise and was claustrophobic in this Xianfu Palace." After that, she went crazy. ”

Qing Shi shook his head and sighed lightly, and took a few steps forward, a silver bead embroidered handkerchief in the rain is particularly eye-catching, Qing Shi picked it up, this square embroidered handkerchief is made of brocade, embroidered with hibiscus drunken dew, the end of the left side is also embroidered with a flat needle "Hu does not return" three words. Qing Shi circled the characters of each palace in his mind, and finally thought about it when he was about to arrive at Chengqian Palace-Concubine De, Wu Yaweijun.

Decline, decline! Hu does not return to Weijun, Hu is in the middle of the dew

Chengqian Palace pear blossoms such as snow, just reflect the early summer rain, the Qing Dynasty has not yet arrived in the palace, first hear the sound of the porcelain bowl on the ground, the Qing Dynasty can not help but raise eyebrows and doubt.

Yixin stood at the door, and when he saw Qing Shi coming with an umbrella, he was about to respectfully bless his body, but when he saw Qing Shi, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Aunt Yixin, can something big happen today?" ”

Yixin knew what was going on, but he deliberately hid it and didn't mention it, and only replied: "The slave has just returned from Yonghe Palace, and the little master has to ask Niangniang about this matter." ”

Qing Shi's eyes were gloomy, and he was introduced into the hall by the heart of the interpretation, and the guards on the side often got up and saluted Qing Yu when he saw this situation: "Niangniang, don't be angry about this trivial matter, the hour is not early, and the concubine will leave first." After saying a word, he saluted and left until he disappeared into the hall, and then sat down on one side and asked, "Why is my sister angry?" ”

Qingyu said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Wei Chang is mentioning some rumors in the palace, and I'm angry that they say this about you." ”

Qing Shi didn't seem to care: "Zuo is just gossiping, and he doesn't have the ability to do it, so he will talk nonsense." I'm too lazy to take care of it. As long as my sister is safe, it is better than anything else. Qing Shi observed her for a moment and said, "But in my opinion, my sister seems to have something on her mind." ”

Qingyu sighed lightly and came to the reasons one by one: "Today His Majesty should have summoned him to the Qianqing Palace, and it happened that Concubine De came to visit Yinzhen, Yinzhen's child was only four years old, and he stuck to me all day long, where did he see Concubine De, and he didn't know what Concubine De did. If it weren't for Yixin coming to Qianqing Palace, I don't know what would have happened. I was in a hurry, so I said a few heavy words to Concubine De. ”

"How's that for good?" Qing Shi was quite worried, Qing Yu said, "When I am a little angry, I think that it is not easy for her, I don't know her parents, and I have just lost my daughter, so I sent my heart to Yonghe Palace to express my feelings, hoping that she would not go to my heart, but she was not in the palace." ”

Qing Yu changed his mind and said: "This time, I am only afraid that I will have a secret dislike with Concubine De. ”

Qing Shi comforted: "Sister, don't worry, Concubine De must not be such a person who holds grudges." She should be more grateful to her sister for raising the fourth elder brother. Seeing that Qing Yu was silent, Qing Shi thought about it again, and said with disgust, "But Wei Chang is now living in Chengqian Palace, and he is more and more aware of etiquette." ”

Since the fire in Yanxi Palace, Wei Changzai moved out of the Spring Festival Pavilion and moved into the Mingde Hall of Chengqian Palace under the instruction of Xuan Ye. Even if it was Qing Shi, it was just a small stay, and when he moved in like Wei Yu, Qing Shi was naturally unhappy in his heart.

"It's annoying you again." Qing Yu ordered someone to add rose fragrance dew and handed it to Qing Shi, because Qing Yu was pregnant, it was not suitable to drink tea, so the fragrance dew was added to the soup instead of tea. Qing Shi took a low sip, only to feel the fragrance around his teeth, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

"This is a tribute from Jiangnan, called Rose Fragrance Dew, which not only has a pleasant aroma, but also clears the fire." At the end, Qingyu added, "If you like it, Ming'er will send two bottles to Ning Huiyuan." Qing Shi nodded happily.

"I saw Ama in the Qianqing Palace today." Qing Yu was silent for a long time before he said quietly, and when he saw Qing Shi, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "He told you to take care of yourself." Seeing that Qingshi's face softened, Fang said again, "The day before yesterday, Ama was promoted to the Minister of the Guard. Weighing the overall situation, although Lord Suo is no longer in the middle hall, but the Hesheri family should not be underestimated, and can still compete with the Ming Zhongtang, and now Amma's promotion is bound to be involved, you and I are the children of the Tong family, and we must understand the stakes. Since we can't escape this shackle, we should go straight ahead. Don't be distracted. ”

Qingyu also said: "For you, you must be cautious, but you should not hesitate. ”

I can only hear the sound of the wind outside the window passing through the hall, the pear blossoms are interspersed, and the sound of the rain hitting the pear blossoms falls crisply in the ears. Qing Shi didn't say a word, and suddenly remembered the events of those years, all of which were lost in this emerald crimson gap, and then turned his head: "Qing Shi understands." ”

Suddenly, a summer rain unfolded silently in Sijiu City, at first it was as dense as a needle, and then the raindrops became sparse and loud. Sijiu City has not had a torrential rain for decades, but this year it is abnormal, the rain is fierce, and the dirt that has accumulated for a winter is washed out and poured into the river along the Guanzi River.

Xu is because of the recent rainy time, the people who come and go to the palace are not panicked, Qingshi is no exception, after having lunch in Chengqian Palace, she held an umbrella and walked carefully on the way back to Yongshou Palace, I can't help but recall the heavy rain a few years ago, that time scene, it was the best opportunity in this life.
