Since staying in Ming Cuixuan last time, Duan Yulin has not set foot in the harem for several days, and if he doesn't summon the concubine today, he will cause resentment in the harem again. After lunch, Wang Chuan of the Jingshi room presented the green head cards of the concubines as usual, Duan Yulin looked at the titles on the cards one by one, some of them couldn't remember their names, and some of them were even a little blurred. Duan Yulin closed his eyes in embarrassment, pinched his eyes, and asked Wang Chuan: "Are there any new concubines who have not been summoned to the palace?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are also Meng Cairen, Su Meiren, Liu Baolin, Tan Baolin, Tu Baolin, Wang Cainu, Zhang Cainu, Wen Cainu, and Wu Cainu." Wang Chuan lifted the plate of the square green head card to Duan Yulin.

"That'...... Just the Sumers. In this way, Duan Yulin chose Su Lianyi among the two with slightly higher ranks.

"Yes. The minions went to inform the Sumers. Wang Chuan saluted and retired.

"Fonda, I don't think I've been to see Yingping in a long time. Let's go and have a look in the palace of Concubine Xian. Duan Yulin was the first to walk out of the imperial study.

"Swing Chenqi Palace!" As soon as Fang Da conveyed, the accompanying honor guard quickly and neatly waited at the door of the imperial study. Duan Yulin, who had just stepped out of the threshold with one foot, suddenly stopped, thought for a moment and ordered: "Qingque, let the imperial dining room prepare a few servings of creamy pineapple jelly for Ruiyi, Lingyu, Yang Shun and the five princes, children love to eat this." You send it over personally. Duan Yulin thought that he might not have seen the other children for a long time, so he didn't want to favor one over the other, so he gave some food to show his care.

"The slave obeys." Qingque is a palace maid who walks in front of the palace, forty years old, and she is particularly shrewd and capable in a dark blue Ruyi bamboo patterned shirt. Qingque was also the imperial maid of Emperor Gaozu, and it is said that the sapphire peacock hairpin she has been wearing on her head is Gaozu's reward for it.

Fang Huishan, who was far away in Ming Cuixuan, heard that the emperor had turned over Su Lianyi's brand, and he couldn't help but be angry again.

"Since the last time the emperor summoned me, I haven't come to see me for several days. The emperor obviously likes me so much, and said that he will come to see me whenever he is free, why do you want to go to that Su Lianyi now? Su Lianyi's status is low, Fang Huanshan didn't pay attention to it at all, she didn't expect that such a humble woman could be favored by the emperor so quickly, Fang Lianshan was extremely unbalanced.

"Little master, don't be angry, although Su Meiren has a low status, she is also His Majesty's concubine in the end, and the emperor will summon her one day." In fact, Huan Yue also wants to say that if the emperor summons a certain Baolin tomorrow and a certain girl the day after tomorrow, it is not enough to be petty. But after looking at Fang Yushan's puffing appearance, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips again.

"I know that, but I didn't expect it to come so early. The emperor has just begun to spoil me, how can he spoil others so quickly? "If it's those nobles, it's just that, no matter how you say it, it's the same as her family background, but it's this Su Lianyi, who is much lower than her!

"Little master, the emperor always wants the rain and dew to be wet, and when the emperor pampers these beauties, Baolin or something, he will know that the little lord is good, and he will naturally love the little lord more when the time comes." Huanyue handed over a cup of Hangju tea to Fang Huanshan at the right time to reduce her anger.

"That's right, I don't believe that slut can climb on top of me?" Fang Huanshan took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, and said with an idea: "Didn't she go to bed with her head, and this little master will reward her with something." Send the crepe shawl decorated with epiphany patterns that the virtuous concubine gave her last time to the Yilan Palace, just as an addition to her! "As the saying goes, it is a flash in the pan, and although it is rare, it is really a flower of life. This kind of thin life trick with Su Lianyi's humble identity is the most suitable.

The atmosphere of Chenqi Palace at this time was very happy, the emperor, the virtuous concubine and the six princes, the family talked about the family.

Concubine Xu Ying is the same age as the queen, and the queen is different in that she likes to wear plain dresses, and today she is also wearing a snow-colored water-sleeved pleated phoenix tail skirt, two hollow silver passion flowers on the hibiscus Guiyun bun, two pairs of hanging beads but the moon length and short tassels, low-key and luxurious. Xu Ying's face is not as sharp as the queen, a little more soft, compared to the queen's momentum like a rainbow, Xu Ying can only be regarded as generous, but because of this, she looks younger than the queen.

Duan Yulin asked about Xu Ying's recent situation and Duan Yingping's health condition, and Xu Ying could only answer that his son was still not getting better except for his eye disease, but everything else was normal. Duan Yulin couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought that this poor and lovely young son couldn't run freely in the sun like other normal children because he was blind; But he was also a little relieved to see that Concubine Xian took good care of her son, and the child's personality was quiet and supple, and he was very sensible. Duan Yulin picked up Duan Yingping, let him sit in his arms, and asked gently: "Yingping, tell your father what you have been doing recently?" ”

Although Duan Yingping can't see with his eyes, his sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and whenever someone talks to him, he can always accurately identify the direction of the sound source, so he politely turns his head to face the person who speaks: "Back to my father, my son's eyes are inconvenient and I can't go out at will, so I planted some flowers and plants in the courtyard of the side hall where my son's residence lived." Although he couldn't see the delicate colors of those flowers, he could smell the fragrance of the flowers, he was already very satisfied, he thought of something else, and said excitedly: "By the way, the mother concubine also sent a parrot to Erchen a while ago, and Erchen likes to teach it to speak!" Erchen also thought that if he could raise a tank of small fish, it would be great! However, the mother concubine said that the sons and daughters should not always be addicted to flowers, birds, fish and insects, lest they grow up and be easy to lose their minds; The mother concubine also said that she wanted her sons to learn more from the fourth brother, because in another year, the fourth brother will reach the age of enlightenment, and the fourth brother has now learned the "Three Character Classic" by himself, and the sons should also be as dedicated to learning as the fourth brother. "The children of the royal family are already precocious, and Duan Yingping is even more so, and his words are not at all like the words of a child, and when he hears them, he knows that he has been carefully taught since childhood. Duan Yulin was very moved when he heard Duan Yingping's words, and nodded appreciatively at Xu Ying.

"The child is still young, don't be too restrictive. Yingyu is six years old, and it is reasonable to learn some simple knowledge, but Yingping is only five years old, so there is no need to ask for these too early, he likes to have some pets, so let him keep them. Duan Yulin touched Duan Yingping's head, and instructed Fang Da, who was guarding the door: "Fang Da, go back to the Internal Affairs Mansion to select a few fish that are easy to feed, and send them to the side hall of Chenqi Palace with a lower water tank." ”

"Minion Command." Fangda retreated and went on an errand.
