"Concubine, see the queen's mother." Zhiyao helped Sun Guifei to meet Queen Hu at the gate of the imperial garden, and Queen Hu said, "Excuse me, get up." "I coughed." Concubine Xie Queen Mother. Zhiyao helped Sun Guifei to follow Queen Hu's side. Sun Guifei said: "Queen Mother, the concubine looked at you with a bad face, and you were coughing just now, so why don't you call the imperial doctor to come and take a look." ”

Queen Hu waved her hand and said, "Don't bother, it's just an old problem, just cough for a few days." Queen Hu turned around and stared at Sun Guifei, Sun Guifei suddenly felt that she was being targeted by a "poisonous snake", and her whole body trembled unconsciously, and her palms were sweaty and grabbed Zhiyao's hand tightly.

Empress Hu said: "Concubine, the plum on your plug is crooked in the palace to help you straighten it." Without waiting for Sun Guifei to speak, Queen Hu stepped forward and fiddled with her head, Sun Guifei didn't dare to bow down, let her fiddle with it, and the hand that grabbed it became tighter and tighter.

"Alright." Empress Hu stopped what she was doing and looked at it again, and Concubine Sun said, "Concubine Xie Empress for her grace." ”

"Concubine, this palace is very envious of you. You don't need too much rouge to whitewash, the flower belt that comes at your fingertips is also so moving. It's not like the people of this palace, and no matter how old Zhu Huang is, it's in vain. Empress Hu said.

Sun Guifei hurriedly said: "The queen mother's mother is beautiful in the world, how can the light of the stars compete with the sun and the moon, the queen mother praises the concubines like this, and she never dares to be it." ”

"Ha, ha, ha" Queen Hu laughed loudly when she heard this: "Guifei, you are really a lovely person." Saying that, she walked forward by herself, but Sun Guifei was confused, and she didn't know the reason for Queen Hu's words, so she paused and chased after her without thinking about it.

"This palace is not idle all day long, so I will find time today, so let you wait to come out and walk with this palace, and you won't feel resentful." Queen Hu asked, and Concubine Sun hurriedly said: "It is the blessing of the concubine to be able to accompany the queen to enjoy the flowers, if the queen does not dislike the concubine, she is willing to accompany the queen out for a walk often." ”

Empress Hu said: "That's not necessary, you can have this and say that the palace is satisfied." Unlike other concubines, the palace has to wait here for a long time. As soon as Empress Hu said this, Concubine Sun Guifei noticed that so far, only she was by the queen's side.

In between the conversations, the voices of many women were heard from far and near, and from time to time they were accompanied by giggles, and Queen Hu and Concubine Sun couldn't help frowning.

Before they met, they heard a woman complaining: "Hey, life in the palace is getting worse and worse." Another woman took over and said, "Even if you want to drink a bowl of hot tea, you can't drink it." The other women chimed in, "Yes." ……”

Several women invited to come, and Queen Hu and Sun Guifei bowed down in front of them: "The concubine has seen the queen's mother, the queen's mother is a thousand years old, and the concubine is peaceful." "It turned out that the women were Concubine Wu Hui, Concubine Zhao Xian, and Concubine Jiao Shu.

Empress Hu was obviously dissatisfied with a few belated concubines and let them bow down, Empress Hu said: "Several of them are delicate lords, let Er wait for a walk in the cold winter, it is really a great sin. Several concubines bowed down and said, "The concubines don't dare." ”

Empress Hu said: "Why don't you dare, the palace has been waiting for a few people in this imperial garden for some hours." Concubine Zhao Xian deliberately shirked and said to Empress Hu: "Queen Mother, this is because Concubine Wu Hui changed several clothes in the house to delay the hour. Concubine Jiao Shu hurriedly said: "That's true, Concubine Hui is only here to evaluate the concubines." ”

Concubine Wu Hui saw that Concubine Zhao Xian and Concubine Jiao Shu had pushed the responsibility to herself, and hurriedly defended: "The concubine deserves death, let the queen wait for a long time, and the concubine felt that she couldn't dress too casually when she came to see the queen, so it took a little more time." ”

"Hey........." Queen Hu sighed and said: "It's not that the palace said that you guys, if you ask the concubine for advice, wait and see that the concubine raises her eyebrows and turns like snow, and the beauty of the city is rare in the world, this beauty is really incomparable" Several people raised their heads and looked at Sun Guifei, and then lowered their heads again.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Guifei saw resentment, resentment and disdain in the eyes of the three of them, and Queen Hu even scolded several people, but skillfully pointed the finger at Sun Guifei.

Looking at the eyes of several people, Queen Hu's heart was full of comfort, although the three of them were dissatisfied with themselves, but Sun Guifei was still distressed, and a few people pleaded with Queen Hu: "Queen Mother, Concubine Hui, a few of them are still bowing, why don't you let them all get up." Empress Hu's heart was full of joy, and she had already lost a lot of her anger and said: "That's it, this palace is not a careful person, so let's get up." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." The personal palace maids of several concubines hurriedly got up and held their master, Empress Hu walked forward, Sun Guifei followed behind, and Concubine Wu Hui followed behind Sun Guifei.

Empress Hu looked at the scenery inside the Imperial Garden and said, "This palace rarely comes to the Imperial Garden on weekdays, why is it such a scene. Sun Guifei said: "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine feels that it is too cold for these flowers and plants to wither and wither if the cold is unbearable. ”

Concubine Wu Hui said: "The concubine's words are wrong, this plum blossom and plum blossom are in the winter to welcome the cold and bloom, why are you afraid of the cold." "This ......" Sun Guifei was speechless for a moment when asked by Concubine Wu Hui.

"Oh? Listening to Concubine Hui's words, it must be the reason. Empress Hu asked. This. ......" Concubine Wu Hui didn't dare to say the reason.

"Queen Qi, the concubine knows the reason." Jiao Shufei said.

"You're here to tell the palace to hear about it." Empress Hu said, Concubine Jiao Shu said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know why the old eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace have been driven out of the palace in the past few days, and the concubines haven't eaten fresh melons and fruits for two days." ”

Queen Hu surprisingly did not blame Concubine Jiao Shu, but was relieved: "If you can't eat melons and fruits, you can go out and walk around more, and the effect of ventilation is the same as eating melons and fruits." ”

Concubine Zhao Xian saw that Empress Hu was in a good mood, and also complained: "Queen Mother, you don't know how the slaves and maids in the palace suddenly lost their concubines. ”

"Say, if you have any complaints, I'll give you a good mood today." Empress Hu said.

Concubine Zhao Xian continued what she had just said: "The concubine got up early and wanted to eat a piece of sesame jujube mud cake and let the slave maid of Shangshan Jian send it over, who had wanted to send it is osmanthus sesame cake, and the concubine asked why there was no sesame jujube mud cake." The slave and maid of Shangshan Jian said that there was not enough manpower in the yamen and there was no time to do it, and he also told the concubines that if they had to eat, the emperor would say that you were not angry. ”

Empress Hu laughed again when she heard this, and after laughing, she said to Concubine Wu Hui: "If you have any discomfort, let's talk about it together, so that the palace can have a long experience." ”

Concubine Wu Hui saw that Concubine Zhao Xian and Concubine Jiao Shufei were all right, so she boldly said: "The concubine is the white cat in the palace, and it looks very dirty if no one takes care of it for two days, and the concubine does not hesitate to hug her." I thought it really wouldn't work, so I could give it away. ”

"Sun Guifei, tell me what discomfort you have?" Empress Hu turned to Sun Guifei, and Sun Guifei told the truth: "There are no bad people in the concubine's palace, and everything is fine." Queen Xie is worried. ”

"What? Why is there no one in her palace, but there is no one in the palace of the concubines, and no one is cold. The three of them said dissatisfied.

"Yes, concubine, tell me what's going on?" Empress Hu asked.

Concubine Sun Guifei said worriedly: "This concubine doesn't know either. The three of them seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, and said with a crying voice: "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the concubines, and the concubines are not as harmonious as the women of big families now." Or the queen mother will go to the queen mother and talk about letting the emperor take back her fate. ”

"Nonsense, just wait for you to complain, and now you are still staring at your nose and face to interfere in the government?" Queen Hu said a little angrily, and the three of them knew that something was wrong and hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine knows that she is wrong." ”

"Alright, let's all get up," said Empress Hu, "thank Empress for her grace." The three of them said in unison. At present, the days you are waiting for are a little inconvenient, but this is also temporary, the newly summoned palace maids and eunuchs are about to enter the palace, and then they will be distributed to several palaces, and the days are not all business as usual, so you can bear with it for a while. Empress Hu said.

"Winter cold?" "The slave is here." "You go and call Wang Zhen to the palace." Empress Hu commanded.

"Slave and maid, go now." Dong Han said.

"Okay, let's go shopping with the main palace later." Empress Hu said, "The concubines obey orders. Several people followed closely behind.
