Concubine De beckoned Du Wenhao to sit down. ordered someone to pour wine, and when he saw Du Wenhao's vice-restraint, he smiled and waved his hand to let the rest of the people retreat, leaving only an old eunuch to wait.

After pouring the wine, Concubine Hong De smiled and asked, "Has Lord Du become married?" ”

Du Wenhao muttered in his heart: Why are women so chicken? They all like to inquire about people's private affairs and ask boring questions. But he didn't dare to show it on his face at all, and said respectfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, Weichen has already married." ”

"How many concubines do you have?"

"Wechen does not have concubines"

"Oh?" Concubine De's soft words were full of directions, and she turned her head to look at the outside of the hall and sighed:

If you are still born in the ordinary people's house, it is good to have a man who loves himself alone, the male farmer and the female weave gradually melons and plums, give birth to a bunch of children, in the fields during the day, and at night the family sits around and plays together, which is really good

Concubine De raised her glass and took a big sip, her eyebrows full of surprise.

Du Wenhao saw that Concubine De's face was like a fresh peach, and she was very good-looking, but there were tears in her eyes. Although the corners of his mouth were smiling, the smile was so bitter. took the words to distract her attention: Fan Niangniang heard that Imperial Doctor Li of Tai Hospital said that you have a cough, you need to go out and walk more, so it is also good for your body. ”

"Didn't you say that it was the time when the flowers bloomed, and the pollen was not good for my cough?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "Actually, it's mainly about spring, and now it's no big deal." ”

Concubine De smiled gloomily and sighed, "What do you want such a good body for?" ”

"Isn't there everything when you have a body?"

"Will there be?"

"Of course! The emperor has not come to Shengrui Palace for so many years, presumably because the concubine is not in good health, and the emperor cherishes the body of the mother, so that the mother will rest. ”

"Don't you blush when you tell this lie?"

"This." Bang Weichen's sentence is really that the emperor will not come, and the emperor should cherish his mother's noble body.

"What do you know!" Concubine De didn't smile, Jin raised the cup on the table, Ni looked at Du Wenhao, and said, "Lord Du, come, don't talk about those troublesome things, let's drink." ”

A few cups of elixir to the stomach. Du Wenhao is a little drunk now, it seems that the wine in this palace is good, but Concubine De has no intention of getting drunk at all, and the amount of alcohol is absolutely extraordinary.

Concubine De asked a little absent-mindedly: "This pavilion was changed by the palace, and it was not called this name originally." Master Du, do you know why this pavilion is called, Bangjun Pavilion? ”

Du Wenhao thought to himself, even if he was a fool, he knew what it meant, didn't he just hope to be able to keep the Long Live Lord? But in the end, isn't it a person guarding such a huge Shengrui Palace? Of course, Du Wenhao will not say that, where it is rare to be confused" is the highest state of being an official, he shook his head blankly and said: Fan Weichen doesn't know. ”

"Who doesn't know that "Bangjun Pavilion" is to keep the emperor, will you know? Hehe, Lord Du, you're very cunning, are you afraid of making this palace sad? You are thoughtful, and you are gradually becoming an official! Ok, good, good! ”

Asking others to break their minds made Du Wenhao a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "How come? Empress. Weichen really doesn't know. The emperor, resist, has you come to this Bangjun Pavilion? ”

"Yes, that was the last time the emperor came to my Shengrui Palace." Concubine De said quietly, looking at the scenery outside the hall, Jin seemed to be caught in the memories of the past.

Du Wenxuan didn't dare to disturb her train of thought, until she withdrew her gaze, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. That's when he relied on wine; "Niangniang, in fact, women are like peonies in this yard."

Concubine De slowly raised her head and looked at him: What do you mean? ”

"Niangniang Bang woman is like a peony. After this season, no matter how beautiful the peony is, there is a time to thank you, and no matter how beautiful the person is, there is also a time to be left out. ”

"Are you ridiculing Hongu?"

"No, no, Weichen doesn't dare, Niangniang, have you ever heard the legend of Peony and the Queen Mother?"

Concubine De frowned slightly: "What legend? god

"It is said that the Queen Mother of Heaven was drunk and happy after the peach party, and ordered all the flowers in the garden to bloom within one night. The flowers all bloomed, but only the peony did not listen to the queen mother's instructions, and the queen mother was angry and ordered all the peonies in the garden to be burned. When he was not careful, a peony seed fell into the dust and fell into Luoyang City, and Luoyang was full of peonies. Since then, the people of Luoyang have liked this kind of flower very much, and every household has it. ”

"This story is also interesting, you told this story to this palace, shouldn't you want to persuade this palace to do something?"

"Niangniang, "don't be shocked by the humiliation, go and stay unintentionally" This is the highest state of life! ”

Concubine De's whole body was shocked, and she stared at him for a long time. Said slowly: "Others will only help me think of ways to please the emperor and regain the grace of the saint, but you are the only one who uses this story to persuade me to be willing to be cold!" ”

Du Wenhao thought to himself, I can't help you regain the Holy Grace, so I have to persuade you to accept your fate, and the harem woman has fallen out of favor, and I can't do it by all means, what can I do if I don't accept my fate? arched his hand and said: "Niangniang, things are often like this, the more you deliberately ask for it, the more you can't." Inadvertently, it will come unexpectedly. As the saying goes, there is a definite number for everything. If you don't care for yourself, no one will love you. ”

Concubine De's body trembled again, and she said quietly: "What's the use of thinking too much?" It's better to take care of yourself! ”

Concubine De got up and slowly walked to the pavilion and looked at the peonies in the garden. Du Wenhao didn't bother either. He knew that this was the time to leave her alone to think about it.

After a while, Concubine De turned around and said lightly: "Master Du, it seems that it is right for you to come and see me today." ”

Du Wenhao felt that she inadvertently used the self-title of "I", and no longer called herself "Bengong" in a domineering manner. I don't have to be so restrained when I speak, so I also stand up. He bowed down and said: "Niangniang's illness, in fact, Niangniang herself knows it, it is a heart knot." According to me, if you can't let go of the knot, you will feel sorry for yourself; Put it down, and the sea and the sky will be wide. ”

Concubine De sighed: "Put it down? If the heart knot can be said to let go and let go, then it is not called the heart knot."

Walked back and sat down, picked up the cup and drank it all: "Ten years ago, I came into the palace, and it was an insignificant imperial attendant beside the emperor at that time. That day, there was a twist and turn that made him very happy, so the emperor ordered wine and food, and poured himself a drink in the study. Soon I got a little drunk."

Du Wenhao knew that there was something to do, and it seemed that this was how Concubine De was favored.

Concubine De continued: "I was waiting in the corner on the side, and the Lord of the Realm looked at us next to each other with a wine glass, and when he saw me, he suddenly smiled. When Concubine De said this, the corners of her mouth showed a happy smile, which made people very excited

"The emperor beckoned me to come over, and asked me if I could help him when I was young. Don't be afraid. ,Ogawa、With Renzi said I will kick the felt。 Do you know? My best thing is kicking felt. You can kick six or seven tricks at a time, and you can still play without landing. Long live the Lord was happy, so he asked the little eunuch to bring me the felt and let me kick it and take a look. That day, the emperor was very happy, and he kept drinking and laughing, saying that I was playing well, and I remembered the way the Lord looked at me, and said that my eyes were very beautiful, and that night, I stayed in the upper study of the Lord of Long Life,"

Du Wenhao knew that boom, that day, the little sparrow flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix.

"After that. Long live the Lord often asked me to accompany her to watch the performance, and when she was tired, she drank and watched me kick the felt. Sometimes the interest comes, and he kicks. Finally, let me sleep. A year later, I added a prince to the Long Live Lord, and the Long Live Lord canonized me as a talented person, and later canonized me as Jie Shu and Concubine De. Everything is so beautiful! If it weren't for the appearance of the Nasao fox surnamed Chen, the emperor would definitely not forget me! ”

Du Wenhao knew that Concubine De was referring to Chen Meiren. Listening to her words, she deliberately diverted the topic, pointed to the white clouds floating in the sky, and said: "People in the Niangniang realm will inevitably have things that don't go their way, if people can be as free as they want like white clouds, how good it would be." ”

Concubine De looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and couldn't help but sigh: Where the white clouds have nothing to do, they have no roots and fall, and they gradually drift with the wind, and they scatter and have no home. ”

"Mother, homesick, right? Who is the mother? After asking this, Du Wenhao also felt that he was a bit of a chicken woman.

Fortunately, Niangniang didn't care: "I'm from the suburbs of Kaifeng." ”

"That's close, how long has it been since my mother went home to save her family?"

Concubine De held her cheeks in one hand and played with the wine glass in the other, and said after a while: "It's been several years, and I have forgotten when I went back." ”

"Why don't you go back and have a look?"

Concubine De's eyes lit up, and instantly dimmed again, and said, "I want to go back to the realm, but the emperor will not agree." ”

"What if the emperor could agree? Jin Du Wenhao looked at her, pitiful, and said happily with wine.

Concubine De heard what he said, and looked at him sideways: "Can you let the emperor let me go out of the palace and go home to save my relatives?" ”

"Of course I don't have the ability to do this, I haven't seen the emperor like yet. But boom, I can think of a way through the Queen Mother. ”

"The Empress Dowager will listen to you?"

"Of course not, I can suggest it. Let's just say that my mother is missing her parents and becoming ill."

"My dad was gone in his early years."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Nothing. You say so. The Empress Dowager doesn't necessarily care. ”

"I should care, I am ordered to serve the doctor in the harem, that is, the will of the Empress Dowager, I will say so, the mother suffers from cough and asthma from missing her relatives, and she wants to be cured, and she must first resolve the pain of homesickness, or maybe the Empress Dowager will agree to it as soon as her heart is soft. As long as the Empress Dowager told the emperor, the emperor agreed. ”

"That's right!" Concubine De turned her worries into joy: "You want to do this for me, how do you want me to thank you?" ”

"Niangniang's words are serious, Niangniang's happiness is our happiness!"

Saying this, Du Wenhao couldn't feel that the weird Concubine Kede had already opened her eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry! You have to really help me do this. I won't forget your good! ”

Leaving the Shengrui Palace, Du Wen said that he was drinking and went straight to see the Empress Dowager. He told that Concubine De's illness was due to the fact that she had not seen her relatives for many years, which caused her to become depressed, and it was reported that Concubine De was indispensable to find out what Chen did. The Empress Dowager listened. Naturally, Enzhun went to the emperor in person and said that the emperor's intention to the Empress Dowager was absolutely compliant, and immediately Enzhun Concubine De went home to save her relatives for half a month, and according to the Empress Dowager's intentions, Concubine De had a cough and asthma, and the holy decree also ordered Du Wenhao to accompany the doctor.

The most important thing is that the benefits of the spring of the year are overwhelming, and the smoke and willows are all over the imperial capital.

In fact, outside the imperial city, you can still see the green weeping willows fluttering in the wind on both sides of the post road.

"Master Du, have you arrived?" Concubine De lifted the curtain of the car and said to Du Wenhao, who was riding a horse outside

Du Wenhao rode a white horse, followed the side of Concubine De's beggar car, heard this, leaned over and asked: What did Fan Niangniang roar? ”

"The smell of weeping willows again!"

"Weeping willows?" Du Wenhao sniffed hard, and looked around suspiciously, there were rows of weeping willows under the roadbed, but there was no fresh smell.

Concubine De gave him a blank look: "Is your nose an ornament?" , oops, look! There's a waterwheel! ”

Her novel gaze looked into the distance, and everything seemed to her so kind, even a tree, a little farmer, a lively puppy and a squeaky waterwheel, she could be amazed.

Du Wenhao looked at Concubine De with pity. Concubine De didn't pay attention to him, and hummed an unknown tune.

The sound of horses' hooves was crisp, Du Wenhao looked at Concubine De's excited face, and thought to himself that this Concubine De's personality is actually quite good, and gradually compared to the seemingly gentle but actually fierce queen, I really don't know how good it is

Concubine De suddenly asked, "Master Du, it looks like you're younger than me, right?" ”

How to enjoy the scenery well, Bang suddenly asked about this, Du Wenhao respectfully bowed and replied: "Back to Niangniang's words, Wechen is only afraid that he will be older than Niangniang, Weichen is already in his twenties, and he looks at Niangniang's age, hehe, Boom won't be over twenty-eight, right?" ”

Concubine De giggled and smiled: "Twenty-eight? I was twenty-eight years old! ”

"is really joking."

"Who is joking with you, it seems that you are younger than me, you can call me sister in the future."

Du Wenhao was walking on the reins just now, and he was not paying attention and almost fell off his horse, and Jin hurriedly grabbed the horse's mane, so as to stabilize his figure.

Concubine De couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw Bang: "Look at what scares you, this is what we call in private, I see that you and I have a fate, so I am willing to recognize you as a younger brother, I didn't want to scare you like this, if you want to be afraid, then forget it." ”

Du Wenhao was in a hurry to defend himself, and he stammered a little when he spoke. Said: "No" No, I just don't dare" I don't dare to climb the mother. "I thought to myself, if I let the emperor know that I recognize my sister and brother with his woman, I am afraid that I will not be very happy, so forget it, Boom, don't make trouble.

Concubine De sighed and said, "Where is it that I am just a poor worm who snubbed the Qing Palace, and how many powerful people in the palace are looking at me?" But you, who are willing to accompany me to drink, have the courage to beg the Queen Mother to let me go home to save my relatives, in fact, I am grateful. If you are willing to bomb, call me sister in private, if you don't want to bomb, I won't be reluctant, and I will miss your good in my heart. ”
