At this time, Ye Hao's delicate cheeks hooked up a light smile and said: "Some time ago, she was quite favored by the emperor, but she was never pampered and arrogant. ”

"But since ancient times, the most important thing in the harem is women, not to mention that the emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, and he will spoil her alone?" Ye Hao said faintly, with a look of loss on her face.

Then she said softly: "Li Changzai underestimated his identity, because he would attract the emperor by singing a few words of Kunqu Opera?" It's so simple. ”

"But the master is Niangniang, and in the harem, the Kunqu opera that Li Chang is singing is the best." After Ah Ruan drank the ginseng soup, he said suspiciously.

"The concubines in the harem are all equipped with unique skills, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their looks are even more beautiful." Ye Hao looked relieved and said lightly.

Hearing this, Ah Ruan frowned, with a puzzled expression.

"The emperor is used to listening to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of these harem concubines in the past, so he is a little fascinated by that Kunqu opera, if he lets him listen to some country tunes every day, after all, he is the emperor." Ye Hao stretched out her nails covered in crimson and stroked them gently.

"That master Niangniang is saying that Li Changzai is just the emperor's temporary favor." Ah Ruan suddenly opened his mouth and said.

And Ye Hao's face was calm and she didn't speak.

At this time, a slave maid stepped into the palace, and she respectfully saluted Ye Hao and said, "The slave and maid have asked the concubine Niangniang to say goodbye." ”

"The slave maid was ordered by the emperor to say that the mother likes plum blossoms, and specially took a few plum blossoms from the plum garden and sent them to Chaohua Palace."

The slave who was kneeling on the ground said as she motioned to the slave behind her to take the plum blossom branch.

Several minions held a push of plum blossom branches in their arms, and placed the plum blossom branches on the table.

Suddenly, those branches with red plum blossoms hanging on the branches have become a beautiful scenery in Chaohua Palace.

dismissed the slaves and maids who sent plum blossoms, Ye Hao sat elegantly, stretched out her hand to pick up a branch of plum blossoms, put it on the end of her nose and sniffed it lightly, and a fragrant smell came to her nose.

"The plum blossoms sent by these slaves are really fragrant." Ah Ruan said with a happy face.

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and carefully inserted the plum blossoms into the vase.

"The plum blossoms in early winter are the most amazing and fragrant." Ye Zhen's eyebrows stretched, and then he said with a chuckle.

She played with the plum blossom branch in her hand, and her beautiful face couldn't help but evoke a bright smile.

"No wonder the concubine went to the plum garden last night, it turns out that this plum blossom is so beautiful and beautiful." Ah Ruan placed the vase in his hand and quipped.

Putting down the plum blossom branch in his hand, a complicated expression flashed on Ye Hao's delicate cheeks, and the black figure was reflected in her clear eyes, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.

In the Chaohua Palace, it is extraordinarily quiet, and there is a stove in each of the four corners of the hall, so that the whole palace is filled with a warm atmosphere.

Ye Hao was dressed in a thin gauze skirt, thousands of green silks were scattered on her shoulders, her fair little face was not powdered, but she looked pure and harmless, and her eyes were particularly deep and bright.

It's like the spring water in the mountains, clear and sweet, and people can't extricate themselves from it.

"I'm tired of sitting in this palace, and I want to go out for a walk." Ye Hao said softly, a look of relief on her delicate cheeks.

Seeing that a thin layer of mist was already filled with the outside of the window lattice, Ah Ruan nodded and said, "If the master wants to go out, then the slave maid must prepare a cloak for you." "TXT Book House

Ye Hao wore a white mink fur, stepped on a pair of embroidered shoes, and stepped out of the Chaohua Palace.

The snow outside had been swept away by the slaves, and the smooth bluestone path had condensed with layers of ice, reflecting the dazzling sunlight.

"Master, mother, you watch your step." Ah Ruan carefully helped Ye Hao down the steps and said softly.

Ye Hao stepped on the ground with broken steps, and the gusts of cold wind passed around her, and her little white face was exposed to the air.

A pair of beautiful eyebrows frowned lightly, big and bright eyes looked ahead, and thin lips opened slightly: "It's cold, the concubines in the harem have to prepare things for the winter, you go to the internal affairs office to give an order." ”

"Yes." Ah Ruan walked behind him respectfully and nodded in response.

The harem concubines have different positions, and the rewards in the internal affairs office are also different, if they get the favor of the emperor, the reward is also very expensive.

As if remembering something, Ye Hao said softly: "How is it in the Qingyin Palace?" ”

As the emperor's childhood sweetheart, since Zhao Jingxian entered the palace, she has been treated differently by the emperor, and a little Zhaoyi lives alone in a palace, but Xie Yuchen has not had a lot of favor for her.

This has suffered from the controversy and jealousy of the harem concubines, and many harem concubines are respectful and polite to Zhao Jingxian in person, but in private, many concubines also have many opinions on Ye Hao.

"Back to the master, Xian Zhaoyi has been staying in the palace recently, and occasionally she is summoned by the emperor a few times." Ah Ruan replied word by word.

It seems that Zhao Jingxian's position is not high, but Xie Yuchen has given a lot of favors, and even the treatment on weekdays is based on a concubine.

It is conceivable how much Xie Yuchen's favor to Zhao Jingxian is, so many concubines in the harem are also jealous.

"The slave and maid privately counted, and in less than a month, the emperor had already gone to Xian Zhaoyi's palace five times." Ruan said cautiously, gesturing with strokes.

Looking around, there are three thousand beauties in Xie Yuchen's harem, and the concubines are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are even more beautiful.

If Xie Yuchen spoiled the concubines in the harem every day, he wouldn't be able to take the turn of other concubines in a month, not to mention that Zhao Jingxian alone was pampered by Xie Yuchen five times, it is conceivable that Xie Yuchen's favor to Zhao Jingxian is far more than that.

Thinking of this, Ye Hao pondered for a moment, and a complicated expression flashed in her phoenix eyes lowered, and she spoke for a long time before she spoke: "The harem concubines are favored by their own abilities. ”

If it weren't for Xie Yuchen's favored concubines, if the concubines who entered the palace wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, they would do whatever it took to get Xie Yuchen's favor.

"The master doesn't know that Li Chang has been untreated by the virtuous concubine since he fell out of favor." Ah Ruan whispered.

"Concubine Xian has been a lot quieter these days."

Since the beginning of winter, I don't know if Murong Hao is frozen, and he doesn't have the strength to toss any tricks in the harem, or something else, it is much quieter than before.

No matter how Murong Hao tossed in the harem, he had never been favored by Xie Yuchen.

"Back to the concubine Niangniang, the slave maid heard that the virtuous concubine Niangniang has often gone to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor recently, but unfortunately every time the emperor casually sent it out." Ah Ruan frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

It seemed that Ye Hao was also expected, her beautiful eyes were slightly raised, she glanced ahead, and said with a light smile on the corner of her mouth: "I don't like the emperor in the first place, and I'm still restless." ”

"This morning, I heard that the chief manager mentioned that Concubine Xian Niangniang had sent slaves and maids to the Qianqing Palace and invited the emperor to go to Rongyi Palace for dinner, but unfortunately the emperor refused." Ah Ruan followed Ye Hao a few steps with broken steps, and replied in a low voice.
