Zimo spent the night without danger, and her physical strength recovered slightly the next day, but if she served her master all night as usual, she was still a little reluctant, so she took leave to Li Jingxi on the grounds of being infected with wind and cold.

After lunch, the emperor invited everyone to the Jiaofeng Garden to listen to the opera, and it is said that the troupe was specially invited from Yong'an Castle to be known as "Kyoto's No. 1". Liuli waited for Li Jingxi to have dinner and rushed to Jiaofeng Garden early, leaving Zimo alone lying on the bed bored and looking at the sunlight shining into the house through the bright paper in the pasted window.

The emperor's lunch was served in Liu Cairen's Qingshui Building, and Duan Yulin carefully found that there was a familiar face among the palace maids serving today's meal.

"Eh, aren't you the maid next to Concubine Ke? Why did you come to Liu Cairen? Duan Yulin looked at the slender woman in front of him with supple eyebrows.

"Back to Your Majesty, the slave maid is Jinghua, the personal maid of Concubine Ke." Jinghua squatted and saluted, not daring to look up at the holy face.

"Concubine Ke's maid didn't stay in the palace to serve her master, why did she come to the palace? Liu Cairen, how do you explain it? Duan Yulin turned to question Liu Youmeng.

"The emperor is wrong to blame the concubines and Jinghua! This is all a piece of Sister Ke's sister! Although Liu Youmeng has been in the palace for two years, he still maintains an innocent and coquettish personality, which is also Duan Yulin's favorite point.

"Oh? You'd better tell me about it. Duan Yulin pulled Liu Youmeng to his side and sat down.

Liu Youmeng did not directly answer the emperor's question, but put a piece of pigeon glass cake on the emperor's plate and said, "The emperor will taste it first." Duan Yulin tasted it, and it was really smooth and refreshing, sweet but not greasy, and the most important thing was that the taste was very familiar. Without waiting for him to ask, Liu Youmeng took another golden silk roasted wheat and fed it to him, and he ate it too. Liu Youmengjiao smiled and asked, "What does the emperor think?" To your liking? ”

"Well, that's good. Why do I think this smell is quite familiar, as if it is from the craftsmanship of the Yunxia Palace? Duan Yulin was sure he had eaten it before.

"The emperor's sense of taste is really good! These two dim sum dishes were made by Jinghua. Liu Youmeng waited for the emperor to drink a tablespoon of Longjing Zhusun, and patiently explained: "These two dim sum are the emperor's favorites, and they will appear on the emperor's table every three or five days." Does the emperor remember that once when he was dining in the Yunxia Palace, the concubine Ke prepared these two snacks for the emperor, and the emperor also said that the pigeon glass cake and the golden silk roasted wheat in the palace tasted the best in the Yunxia Palace? ”

"There is such a thing." Duan Yulin took another golden silk roasted wheat and tasted it slowly.

"This is the thoughtfulness of Concubine Ke! The noble concubine's sister was not able to serve before her body healed, she thought that the emperor would miss these two dishes in the palace for half a month, and she was worried that the imperial kitchen would not meet your appetite, so she specially asked the concubine to bring Jinghua. In this way, no matter when the emperor wants to eat, Jinghua can make your favorite flavor at any time! Liu Youmeng then said the reason why Jinghua appeared here.

"I see, Concubine Ke has a heart, and you have a heart." Duan Yulin patted the back of Liu Youmeng's hand with satisfaction, and said to Jinghua who had been standing by the side with a smile in his eyes: "Your skills are good, I like it very much." At dinner, you come to Yonghezhai to serve. ”

Jinghua raised her head in surprise, and hurriedly knelt down to thank her: "Thank you for your appreciation, the slave obeys the order!" She didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.

After that, Liu Youmeng served the emperor for dinner, although the two also talked and laughed, but when she thought that after tonight, there might be another concubine to share the emperor's favor, and this person was recommended by herself, her heart was still quite unhappy, so that Liu Youmeng ate a hearty meal without knowing the taste.

In the afternoon, the opera of Jiaofeng Garden was very exciting, and the new Dao Ma Dan in the celebration class had excellent skills, and a "Lady in the Army" [this play is fictional by the author] was performed magnificently, and won unanimous praise from everyone. The emperor also rewarded this Danjiao named Xibing for this, and the entire Qingxi class also received a lot of rewards.

Tsubaki Fujiwara didn't appreciate this art form, and she couldn't understand what was being sung in the play, so she was a little bored sitting there. She sat not close to the emperor, looked at the emperor and found that he was more interested in a play than her! Since she was included in the harem, she has only been summoned once, not only has she been living in Mengxin Xiaozhu, which is used as a guest, but also has to live with a Western girl! I don't know how many times I've been ridiculed by the arrogant Lee Yoon-hee! She is ashamed and anxious, and the deep palace is lonely and unrelieved, and her life is quite aggrieved!

"Meihui, let's go out for a walk, it's very stuffy here." Tsubaki Fujiwara took her maid out of the Shokaze Garden, and she heard that the lotus flowers on Lake Minghui, which is close to the hot springs, could bloom even in winter, so she wanted to go there to see it.

When he arrived at Minghui Lake, he saw that there was still a small area of lotus flowers undefeated by the lake, and Fujiwara Tsubaki was very excited, and pulled Mie to the shore to pick the flowers.

"Who's there?" Suddenly, a stern questioning voice came. The defenseless Fujiwara Tsubaki was startled by this loud shout, and his feet were unstable and he was about to fall into the lake. Just as she was almost immersed in the water, the deep male voice just now sounded again: "Be careful! A figure quickly ran to Tsubaki's side and stopped her by the waist, saving her from the danger of falling into the lake and drowning.

Tsubaki, who was frightened, looked at the tall and mighty man in front of him, and his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't know whether he was frightened by the danger just now, or because he had just experienced a heroic rescue of beauty. Tsubaki, who had been in love for a moment, quickly regained his composure and said, "Who are you?" Why is it scary to hide? Do you know that because of your fright, you almost killed this little master? ”

"Little Lord forgive your sins! The minister is the second-class guard of the Jing Palace, Minghui Lake is within the scope of the prince's residence, the minister is routine inspection and found that someone is here and asked, I don't want to disturb the little lord, the minister should die! Li Shufan knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists to plead guilty.

"Forget it, after all, it's your duty, and I should thank you for saving me." Tsubaki couldn't bear to blame Li Shufan, who was loyal to his duties.

"The subordinates don't dare! The lake is dangerous, so let the minister escort the little lord back. After some tossing, Tsubaki was no longer in the mood to enjoy the flowers, so he agreed to let Li Shufan escort him back to Jiaofeng Garden.

When he returned to Jiaofeng Garden, just in time for the end of the scene, the emperor noticed Tsubaki escorted by Li Shufan, so he invited them to ask: "Where did Concubine Chun go, why did Li Escort escort you back?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine just went out for a walk, and heard that the lotus flowers in Minghui Lake are undefeated in winter, so she wants to see it. But the concubine almost fell into the water while looking at the flowers, thanks to the rescue of this guard, the concubine's life was safe. Tsubaki nodded to Li Shufan very gratefully, but this move had a special meaning in Duan Yulin's eyes.

Duan Yulin looked at Li Shufan silently for a while, and said with thought in his heart: "So that's the case, then Guard Li has made a great contribution!" In this way, I will promote you to a second-class guard, and from now on you will stay in the palace to serve me. The emperor smiled encouragingly at Li Shufan, but there were countless city calculations hidden in his eyes.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" suddenly changed from a palace guard to a palace guard, Li Shufan was both happy and a little disappointed. I am happy that I have the opportunity to revive the lintel and overturn the case for my father when I am promoted; The loss is because he has to leave the Jingwang Mansion that he has always been loyal to.

Zimo, who thought that he would spend a quiet and lonely afternoon, was harassed by two "uninvited guests" during the period when everyone was listening to the opera and singing.

Zimo woke up in good spirits and was about to get out of bed and walk around, but was attracted by a suspicious figure dangling outside the window. She walked over and pushed open the window to look down, and it turned out to be someone with his back against the wall, huddled in a ball, and holding two branches in his hands that could not hide his huge body at all, and he was hiding his ears and thinking that no one else could see him. Zimo stretched out his hand to pick up a strand of his red messy hair, and asked with disdain: "Second Master Xian, are you listening to the corner?" ”

Xianyuan Shao, who was discovered, immediately threw away the branch in his hand, patted his robe, cut his hair, and said seriously: "What do you listen to the corner?" How ugly it is! Isn't this a little worried about your condition and kind enough to come to see you? Then he glanced at Zimo with a pretended calm look of "don't know what to do".

"Thank you for your concern. But...... You must have sneaked in through the backyard wall, right? Zimo smiled and debunked his smugness.

"Nonsense!" Yuan Shao Qizimo asked knowingly, how could he, a foreign minister, swagger into a concubine's dormitory from the main gate? He was not polite to her, he turned over the window and entered the house, and then looked around very obscenely, and closed the window after making sure that no one was there.

As soon as she entered the room, Yuan Shao took Zimo's arms and turned around to observe her carefully, Zimo was dizzy, she shook off his palm and said, "Why are you staring at me endlessly, still looking in circles?" I'm dizzy with you! ”

Hearing Zimo shouting faint, Yuan Shao quickly stopped and said with a flattering smile: "Don't I have to take a good look at you!" The poison you had yesterday was so domineering, I'm afraid you haven't cleared the poison yet! What's the matter, do you need me to help you clear it again? ”

Dare to love this nerd really doesn't understand what kind of "poison" she had last night, and shamelessly wants to "clean up" her in front of her! Zimo blushed, pushed him hard and said, "Phew! I don't need you! ”

"Look at you, your face is so red, it must be because your body has not fully recovered! Come on, come on, the master will heal the poison for you! Due to Zimo's weakness, the force of pushing him was almost like tickling him, and he grabbed Zimo's arm with a smile and brought her to the couch.

"You madman! Let me go! I'm already well and don't need any more treatment! Zimo's face was even redder when he struggled, and he was about to drip blood. This Xian Yuanshao is too taboo against men and women, how dare he enter the girl's boudoir alive, and drag people to the bed! How can this really be true?

Seeing that Zimo was struggling with his "punches and kicks", Yuan Shao didn't dare to come hard, so he let go of her arm and took her whole person into his arms, and softly soothed: "Okay, okay, don't use it, don't get excited!" How can you be angry when your body is still so weak? Look at you, even the strength to hit me is like a kitten scratching. He patted her back as he spoke, and Zimo miraculously quieted down.
