Liu Yi didn't look at the tray, but said coldly: "Let's go to the queen tonight." ”

But in the blink of an eye, Liu Yi regretted it: "Let's go to Concubine Li." Hearing this, the little eunuch went out and went to the Dragon Shadow Pavilion to reply.

The Dragon Shadow Pavilion is a place where the emperor lives on a daily basis, and the little eunuch is sent by Cheng Jin, the chief eunuch of the Dragon Shadow Pavilion, to interrogate, and the emperor has not been to the harem for a long time these days.

A sedan chair has been prepared at the door, and she is preparing to go to Concubine Li's Chenghuan Palace.

The magnificence of Concubine Li's Chenghuan Palace is second only to the Fengwu Palace where the queen lives, and the people in the palace say that the queen loves Concubine Li, and the queen is indifferent, if it is not for the fact that the Fengwu Palace has only lived in the queen and does not live in the concubines, the main position of the Fengwu Palace will change hands at this time.

In the eyes of those palace people, the queen was originally the most sacred, and she didn't fall out of favor until Concubine Li entered the palace, and she was not allowed to see Liu Yi after that miscarriage.

Concubine Li is a princess married by Chu Guohe herself, with a noble status, as for why she deigned to the concubine position instead of becoming the queen, it was because the queen was the princess that Liu Yi married when she was still a down-and-out prince. As for harmony, that was already after Liu Yi ascended the throne.

There is still a saying among the people that "the wife of the dregs does not go to the court", let alone the royal family. After soaring, letting the original partner who shares hardships and hardships be concubines is probably going to make the world laugh. Besides, it was the general of Zhenxi, Xu Bangchang, who had not yet lost power.

The sedan chair was carried on the shoulders of the sturdy and tall eunuchs, Liu Yi sat on it, the cool autumn breeze directly loaded his face, looking at the brightly lit palace everywhere, he was a little cold in his heart. He also finally understood what it meant to be cold in a high place.

In the Chenghuan Pavilion, there was a bleak pipa sound, as if a young woman was crying. When I heard the sound of the lute, I could feel the tears of the player falling to the ground, making a soft "da-da" sound.

Liu Yi walked into Chenghuan Palace, and saw Concubine Li sitting there playing the pipa, her head lowered, her eyes were also lightly closed, and her soft white and slender fingers were moving on the strings of the pipa, plucking, as if a villain was dancing lightly on the strings. Today, Concubine Li was wearing a water-blue skirt, casually tied a falling ponytail, and did not have those gorgeous vermilion hairpins on her head, but only brought a silver hairpin, on which was embedded with a night pearl larger than her thumb. The lights in the hall are not very bright, but the faint light of the night pearl makes Concubine Li look a little delicate and gentle. Concubine Li didn't wear makeup, but her natural appearance was still very beautiful.

When the last note stopped, applause erupted in the temple, which should have been silent. When Concubine Li heard the prestige, she saw Liu Yi standing there, she handed the pipa to the convenient maid, and walked over to salute.

Liu Yi raised his hand, signaled for exemption, and asked, "What did you just play "Plugged Song"? ”

Concubine Li got up, nodded, a little shy, and said with a slight smile: "The emperor has good ears, but the concubine's skills are clumsy, I'm afraid it will stain this good song." ”

Liu Yi took Concubine Li's hand, sat down on the chair next to her, and asked, "Concubine Li, are you homesick?" Miss Chu State? ”

Liu Yi knows that this "Plugged Song" is about Zhaojun's peace for the country, and Concubine Li also happens to be like Wang Zhaojun, who came over with her relatives, and she will definitely be homesick. It's just that after entering Dayan's harem, it is impossible to go back to see the Chu State again in this life, born in Dayan, and dead can only be buried in Dayan, lying in the imperial tomb of the cold Yan Kingdom.

Concubine Li's eyes were slightly red, the corners of her eyes were also a little moist, and her voice trembled a little: "Others are extremely favored by the concubines and concubines, and the scenery is infinite, but how many people know about the hardships of the concubines over the years?" With that, she stood up, her head tilted, her eyes blinking, trying to push back the tears that had come to her eyes.

She paced around the hall, as if thinking about something again, and said: "In the second year of Chengkun, the concubine married the emperor as the princess of the Chu State, and the concubine was only eighteen years old at that time. It has been ten years since Chengkun was born, and the concubine is twenty-six years old this year. It's been eight years, eight years, and the concubines have been guarding the Chenghuan Palace for eight years. Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, leaving two shallow marks on her face.
