Time came to the day of the beginning of autumn in a blink of an eye, and the mighty honor guard set off from Xuanwu Gate, all the way out of the Yong'an Imperial Capital and went straight to Jiangnan.

There were many people accompanying him this time, and there were more than a dozen concubines in the harem alone - in addition to the queen, the imperial concubine, the Yi concubine, the concubine Ke, Tian Zhaoyi, the lotus Zhaoyi, the cherry concubine, the Rong noble, the humble nobleman and the Yao sisters; plus princes and princesses, royal relatives, important ministers of the court, etc., a total of dozens of people.

Li Jingxi's body could not withstand the long journey, so she left the temporary position of managing the harem; Concubine De didn't like to join in the excitement when she was older, so she stayed to help Concubine Shu take care of the affairs of the palace; The cold concubine even offered to stay and take care of the young prince and princess; It is not advisable to travel far soon after giving birth; Yu Guiren asked to stay and take care of his sister Xia Yunxi...... The rest of the concubines below the nobles are not yet qualified to accompany them.

Among the princes, King Jing accidentally fell off his horse and flashed his waist a few days ago, so he couldn't travel, and the prince also needed a help who could assist him; King Min was newly married, and the emperor did not force them to accompany his husband and wife. This move is in Liu Manzhu's arms, she has already told her husband everything, and they want to take advantage of this opportunity to investigate the case; King Ning's child is still young, and he can't leave; As a result, only the emperor's sons accompanied the holy car.

The team traveled all the way south, and the scenery along the way was pleasant. It's as if you've stepped back in time, from autumn to summer. Some people complain about the heat, especially at noon, when the sun scorches the earth and burns the sun. But Feng Wu likes this kind of weather very much, the heat of the sun intimidates all things and is the energy they rely on for survival, and this enthusiasm reflects this supreme vitality. Therefore, even if the summer heat is unbearable, it is still a favorite season of Feng Wu.

Feng Wu and Duan Yulin shared a ride, Duan Yulin leaned lazily in the carriage, with a bamboo mat spread under him, and a plate of grapes that had been chilled with mountain spring water when he had just rested. He picked up a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and called out to Feng Wu, who had been looking out the window, indistinctly: "Why is the queen so fascinated?" The sun is so strong outside, aren't you afraid of sunburning? Wouldn't it be nice to come and lie on the mat with me, tasting wine and fruits? ”

Feng Wu looked back and smiled, "What the emperor said is true." The concubine is just a little relieved about the things in the palace, and hopes that everything in the palace will be 'smooth'. With that, she lowered the window mat, leaned over and scooped up her glass and raised it towards the emperor. The moment Feng Wu raised her head to drink, she revealed a well-maintained slender neck, and this picture was hidden in the mottled halo that passed through the curtain, but there was a different kind of beauty. Duan Yulin couldn't help but move his throat.

Duan Yulin grabbed Feng Wu's hand and gently took it, and his wife fell on the bamboo mat next to him. He looked down at her, and his voice was hoarse: "It's hard to get out of the palace, don't think about it so much." Just leave the affairs of the palace to Concubine Shu and Concubine De. ”

Feng Wu was not accustomed to such a sense of oppression, so she pushed the emperor away without a trace, and got up and leaned against the wall of the carriage by herself. She peeled a grape and fed it to the emperor, and said worriedly: "But the concubine's body is too bad, and the concubine is afraid that she can't bear it." Therefore ......"

"What?" Duan Yulin didn't care about anything else, he focused on savoring the crystal particles between Feng Wuyu's fingers, and even pretended to bite her fingers accidentally.

"Therefore, the concubine agreed to Concubine Shu's request to move to the palace on the outskirts of Beijing to recuperate." As soon as Feng Wu's voice fell, Duan Yulin let go of her fingers and looked at her puzzled. Feng Wu wiped her hands and explained slowly: "The climate in central Beijing is gradually getting cooler, and only the temperature near the Xinggong Hot Spring is suitable, which is just right for Concubine Shu to recuperate. And this short tour of the south will also take several months, so most of the holy hands in the Tai Hospital will also be carrying...... In this case, the concubine thinks that it is more appropriate to place the concubine in a place that is conducive to her condition, what does the emperor think? ”

"The queen has thought it through. Is there a shortage of doctors in the palace? Do you need me to assign two more pasts? Duan Yulin remembered Li Jingxi's strange illness, and suddenly lost the interest in flirting with Feng Wu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's all arranged. In addition to Imperial Doctor Li, who has been taking care of Concubine Shu, and the original imperial doctor in the palace, Concubine Shu's mother's family also specially sent two special doctors of their own. More than a dozen people take care of her, and it must be foolproof. Finding that Duan Yulin had lost interest, Feng Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, it was for the sake of Grace's condition, but Feng Wu also had her own plans for arranging Grace to the palace. In just a few years, the Li sisters have all become concubines, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the Li family. This time, the remaining concubine was fully responsible for the internal affairs of the palace, which may have been some kind of hint after the emperor expressed his suspicion about Xu Ying. She couldn't watch the Li family grow bigger and press down her Feng family.

Therefore, she deliberately threw out to Li Jingxi the promise of "if you are unwell, you can avoid entering the palace at any time to recuperate". Unexpectedly, this Li Jingxi also knew the current affairs, and immediately asked her to move into the palace as soon as the royal driver left Beijing, and Feng Wu naturally agreed. In this way, the affairs of the palace were handed over to Concubine De, who had no power, no power and no ambitions, and Feng Wu was of course more at ease. Moreover, the "praying mantis" she caught will be easier to catch "cicadas".

"Well, I don't ...... you arranged" Duan Yulin slid down, his head resting on the soft pillow and his back to Feng Wu. In a trance, he recalled the past moments of warmth with his graceful wife. One year and seven months, it was so long that he could hardly remember what it was like.

Just when the emperor and queen were thinking about each other and silently contradicting each other, the women in the palace who were rampant after leaving their masters started their own crazy plans.

One day after the royal driver left Beijing, Tan Zhiting took Muzhu for a walk in the imperial garden. There are so many people in the palace all of a sudden, especially the backbone of the emperor is gone, and Tan Zhiting even feels that there is no hope for life.

"It's so boring!" Tan Zhiting folded a willow branch in her hand, flung it around, and beat it around.

"Little master, the previous moon season is blooming very well, why don't we go over and take a look?" Mu Zhu led Tan Zhiting to the Yueji Flower Bush.

"Well, this year's seasonal flowers are blooming exceptionally well!" Tan Zhiting looked around and was attracted by a silver-edged moon plant not far away.

"Isn't it? Moreover, this kind of flower is drought and cold-tolerant, as long as it is cultivated properly, it can survive all year round, and the flowering period is long. It's a rare flower of longevity! Mu Zhu picked a pink moon and handed it to her.

Tan Zhiting took the flower, sniffed it and said, "Since the season is blooming so well this month, why don't we pick a few and take them back and insert them in the bottle." I saw a few silver-edged ones over there, which were very beautiful! Then he happily turned to the other side.

The huge swaggering silver-edged moon season swing in the wind seemed to wave and summon to her admirers. Tan Zhiting stretched out her arm and was about to pick up Fang, and inserted a plain hand horizontally, and pinched off the branch and stem with a fast, accurate and steady momentum. The moon season Oiran was taken first by Zhou Mulin.

"My sister likes this one too! Sister doesn't mind, right? Zhou Mulin looked at Tan Zhiting innocently.

Tan Zhiting was already angry in her heart, but Zhou Mulin's family background was higher than herself, so she could only bear it. She had to put on a smiling face: "How come? Isn't there such a flower, how can I fight with my sister? My sister also picks flowers to insert bottles? ”

"yes. Does my sister know? The one who picks the butterfly Xuan likes to raise the moon season the most, and the moon season she raises attracts a large number of butterflies! It's autumn now, and there aren't many butterflies left, but her flowers can attract so many! I heard that it is this kind of silver-edged moon season, and my sister wants to go back and try it. What Zhou Mulin said was Diejun, but what she said was true or false, did she see it with her own eyes? Then it is unknown.

"Butterflies? I think she's a demon! The emperor still spoils her so much! "If it weren't for the fact that Diejun's position was not enough, the Emperor of the Southern Tour would definitely bring her this time. Hateful!

"What about the wicked? Who called the emperor like? We only have the sake of greed. Now that the emperor is gone, my sister can only entertain herself. After that, Zhou Mulin picked a few more good-looking flowers, and seemed to suddenly remember something and asked: "Sister, the emperor has been touring the south for a few months, and he likes butterfly beauties so much, maybe he will be the first to spoil her after returning to the palace!" Do you think the emperor will promote her position? Then she won't become a nobleman! Oh, a noble man from a drama background...... It's going to hit us! Tsk......"

Zhou Mulin's chatter was heard word by word in Tan Zhiting's ears, and she couldn't help but clench her hands. How can it be? How can it be! How can you let the drama ride on your head and practice yourself? No way! Absolutely not! She couldn't help but recall an unpleasant experience a month ago.

At the beginning of May, the queen ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a new batch of summer clothes and jewelry for the palace concubines, in order to celebrate the birthday of the queen mother. After the clothes were ready, Miaoqing, the big palace maid beside the queen, personally led people to send them to the palace one by one. When it was sent to the Jade Pavilion, Wei Baolin was very aware of the current affairs and asked Tan Zhiting to pick it first. Tan Zhiting took a fancy to a set of clothes with a drop-shouldered splendid double butterfly shirt and a purple water cloud gauze long skirt, and it would be even more perfect if it was paired with the pair of Ji Liulan's hearts and double butterfly steps in the tray!

"I'll choose this set, as well as that pair of step shakes, plus these three purple camellia silk flowers." Tan Zhiting picked up a silk flower and compared it in the mirror, very satisfied.

Miao Qing looked at her in embarrassment and refused: "Little master, I'm afraid this won't work." ”

"What? I see that this is the instrument that can be used at the beauty level. Why not? "She didn't go to the noble level to pick and choose, so it's not too much to choose this set, right?

"Back to the little master, it's like this. This dress and accessories are all in the picture of the butterfly beauty. Although it stands to reason that the little master of the same level is selected according to the qualifications of entering the palace, but when the slave maid passed by Cai Diexuan, she happened to meet the little butterfly master who was going out, and she had to let the slave and maid leave this set to her...... Moreover, you also know that the emperor is favoring her now, and the queen also said that if there is a good one, she will come first. Look at this ......," Miaoqing looked very embarrassed.

How dare Tan Zhiting get along with the queen's personal palace maid? So he threw the silk flower in his hand into the tray unhappily and said, "Forget it, it's not good to take a closer look!" I'll change into that set of scattered flowers and ruyi cloud smoke skirt. ”

"Little lord has a good eye! The slave thanked the little master for the humility of the butterfly beauty. Miaoqing took out one more begonia silver hairpin and presented it to Tan Zhiting, Tan Zhiting snorted coldly and ordered Muzhu to accept it.

Miaoqing was about to retire, but she heard Tan Zhiting say in a strange way: "My aunt really lifted her!" With her identity, she also deserves her aunt to speak for her? Mu Zhu behind her first glanced at her master with disdain, and then looked at Miao Qing suspiciously, and some information flashed in her mind, and she seemed to understand something.

Miaoqing didn't reply, but laughed in her heart. Because she knew that Tan Zhiting, the "praying mantis", had taken the bait. However, what Miaoqing and the queen didn't expect was that they were not the only ones who wanted to be "yellow sparrows", and there was also a person with a heart higher than the sky who was also waiting for an opportunity.
