The path paved with blue jade is long and wide, and the trees on both sides are verdant, and there is no bleak autumn scene. Wan Xian'er and Wang Xiangqin had already sat in the soft sedan chair and were about to go back to the East Palace, and Zhang Erzhen was about to step on her sedan chair, when a royal blue palace dress came from a distance and called her: "Concubine Zhen, please stay, the Queen Mother, please go over and talk." ”

Zhang Erzhen looked at the old lady suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Is it the Queen Mother who wants to see me?"

The old lady nodded, stood in place and waited, Zhang Erzhen looked at the princess and her party in the distance, and turned her head to follow the old lady. Mama is a close person around the Queen Mother, and she has the seriousness of the superior, and she only walks forward with a straight face all the way, and she doesn't plan to talk to Concubine Zhen, Zhang Erzhen looks left and right, and keeps up with the old lady quickly, and says in her heart: In such a big palace, it can be so quiet, and the birds in autumn have never been heard. After walking for a long time to come to Renshou Palace, Zhang Erzhen stroked her hungry belly and guessed whether the Queen Mother would care if she would eat, just eat enough first and then talk.

The Queen Mother was closing her eyes to recuperate, and when she heard the sound, she waved away the palace maids who were fanning left and right, leaving only the old lady in front of her, Zhang Erzhen saluted again, and stood one foot away from the Queen Mother in a proper manner.

"Did the prince rest in your yard yesterday?" asked the queen mother knowingly, her tone was leisurely, and she looked at the new granddaughter-in-law with a kind face.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the prince just rested in the courtyard of the concubine last night. Zhang Erzhen said respectfully.

A wrinkled smile appeared on the well-maintained face of the Queen Mother, and the old lady willingly took a tray from the top of the Nanmu stilt table on the side, and the Queen Mother pinched the corner of the white cloth on it and smiled: "Then what is this?"

Zhang Erzhen only glanced at it, and said truthfully: "The concubine is panicked, this is the concubine's rouge falling on it." ”

"Oh——, but on purpose?"

The Queen Mother, who is worthy of being the champion of the palace fight, Zhang Erzhen sighed in praise and continued to say respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, it was deliberate. ”

The original smiling Queen Mother's face became sparsely serious, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "What is the crime of deceiving the mourning family and deceiving the queen's mother, I'm afraid you don't know it yet, right?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, if the crime is established, you will be beheaded all over the house, and you will be exiled from your family, and your concubines will be saved. Zhang Erzhen paused and said: "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to the concubine that the concubine is still young and will ...... in the future In the future, we can better serve him, and it will inevitably cause trouble, just say so. ”

The Queen Mother's inquiring gaze was firmly fixed on the girl in red in front of her, and she said for a long time: "How did you choose you?"

Zhang Erzhen made a shy statement: "It's the queen mother, the emperor and the queen mother are sympathetic to His Royal Highness the prince, and the concubines are the blessings of the concubines." "My legs are a little sore, why didn't the Queen Mother give me a seat.

The queen mother's old and spicy eyes still can't see through what is special about the girl in front of her, and she actually makes the prince who has not come to beg her for a long time soften. It was a few days before the draft, and the prince hurriedly came to see her, only asking for this one thing, she asked: "What's so good about that girl, don't be a scourge that hooks your soul!"

The prince replied after a long time: "If she can enter the palace to accompany her grandson, she can probably open the net." ”

The Queen Mother was so angry that she hated: "What do you want to do! He is your father! Not your enemy!"

"The grandson knows, the grandson is talking about someone else. The father is the father, and he will always be the one who his grandson respects. ”

The Queen Mother said weakly: "Those Taoist priests in the palace, if you can send them out, I will follow your matter." ”

The crown prince smiled: "Is the imperial grandmother sure that the father will not abolish the grandson for this matter?"

The Queen Mother glared: "Grandmother supports you, hurry up and do it!"

Who in the palace doesn't know that those old Taoist priests who pretend to be gods and ghosts, wearing Taoist robes and dignified, only need to hold the Buddha dust when they enter the harem, as if they are holy decrees. But the emperor believed in this thing, and Wan Guifei was advocating and cheering on the side, even the queen mother couldn't force it. Later, her grandson really asked some Taoist priests to go out of the palace, and she helped to leave the Zhang family girl.

"Well, sit down. ”

The old lady hurriedly stepped forward and gently rubbed the queen mother's forehead, Zhang Erzhen saw that there was no place for her to sit, there was a place on the side of the queen mother, but she didn't have the courage yet. The Queen Mother saw Concubine Zhen's embarrassment, smiled, and motioned to the old lady to move a round stool into the curtain. Zhang Erzhen's butt was next to the chair, and she was finally comfortable, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is kind, thank you for the seat." ”

"The concubine's favor crown has also been spread among the people of the six palaces for a long time, what do you think of the concubine Niangniang?" The queen mother's shrewd eyes stared at Concubine Zhen tightly, and this question hit the nail on the head.

I only saw Concubine Zhen making a frightened appearance, and said while waving her hand: "The concubine is scared, how dare you talk about the elders." ”

The Queen Mother said unhappily: "The mourning family allowed you to say it! What do you say, only we know?"

Zhang Erzhen exhaled, patted her chest and said: "A bright and proud woman like the noble concubine, but the concubine has never seen her outside the palace. However, when the concubines grew up in the countryside, they often heard some interesting stories about the market. There is a family of cannibals in Wuchang Mansion, and the strange thing is that the old man has a pair of delicate wives, and the two women often fight for red faces, and the old man is miserable. After a long time, the old man was overwhelmed, so he divided the size according to the eldest and youngest, and gradually quieted down. ”

The Queen Mother seemed to be very interested, and asked: "Then the two ladies will live together politely and harmoniously, and it will be complete?"

Zhang Erzhen said with a smile: "The little lady tossed all day long, and the eldest lady took out the family law to deal with the little lady, or punished, beaten, or sold, and the old man didn't say anything." Therefore, the concubine felt that no matter what happened on the outside, the inside should always be more angular. ”

The queen mother warned her that there could be no appearance in the palace and there would be no second Wan Guifei, so she told the queen mother that as long as the prince did not speak and did not spoil him, who could still bounce around. And she, Zhang Erzhen, is not committed to tossing, please rest assured that the Queen Mother.

How could the Queen Mother not understand Concubine Zhen's words, she just smiled and nodded, "The East Palace is not peaceful, and the mourning family is often worried, now that you, the person who understands, are here, the mourning family is also relieved, you go back, you will often come to sit and sit in the future, and you can also accompany the mourning family to relieve boredom, the mourning family loves to listen to these stories outside the palace, and people are also relieved." And also...... The chrysanthemum viewing party the day after tomorrow, you can also go and see the excitement. ”

Zhang Erzhen stood up obediently and slowly retreated. Among the people she has seen so far, only the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, who smiled slightly, hiding her merits and fame, and she really deserves to be a big man.

Zhang Erzhen originally wanted to take a soft sedan chair back to the East Palace, but those fathers-in-law stayed in Kunning Palace and didn't follow, so she had to go to the vicinity of Kunning Palace and take a soft sedan car back. A group of people was walking, and by chance they met another group of people. The beauty was young, Zhang Erzhen only glanced at it, and felt that this sister was the most beautiful one she had seen over the years. The body is slender and slender, the demeanor is strong and true, the texture is delicate and even, the flesh and bone are even, pretty like the peach of three springs, the pure chrysanthemum of nine autumns, a moon-white embroidered branch pile of flower skirts, the steps are slow and leisurely.

Zhang Erzhen hurriedly gathered her skirt and asked for peace, "If I have seen Ruo Zhaoyi, Zhaoyi is fine." ”

Bai Ruo looked at the delicate person in front of him with complicated eyes, and said softly, "I came to see you specially." ”

Zhang Erzhen raised her head and saw Ruo Zhaoyi's pair of water-cut autumn eyes looking at her fixedly, and Bai Ruo said softly: "Sit with me for a while." ”

Zhang Erzhen was also fascinated by this fairy-like woman, and the ghost made the god agree. As Bai Ruo entered the Imperial Garden, a round pavilion surrounded by rockeries. Bai Ruo walked in front slowly, Zhang Erzhen followed closely behind, staring at Bai Ruo's side face and being fascinated, the saint is really so beautiful, the white girl is so beautiful, and it is enough to match Zhu Youji.

"Probably you don't recognize me, Concubine Zhen, I've heard of you before. "If the sound is like a person, it is like a drunken wine.

Zhang Erzhen retracted her gaze in surprise: "When did Zhaoyi hear me?"

Bai Ruo smiled lightly, revealing the pear vortex of autumn water on his cheeks: "...... I thought you would be so good, I just saw it today, I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken a fancy to you, do you know that your current status makes many women jealous?" There was no irony on his face, but he was stating a fact very plainly, Zhang Erzhen was even more embarrassed, she had always felt good about herself, and she didn't think that she was so worthless in front of Ruo Zhaoyi.

Zhang Erzhen really doesn't know, no matter how good this son is, isn't she also a little wife, she wonders, there are many boudoir girls in the world who want to be other people's little wives, isn't the prince's little wife still a little wife? In front of the beauty, everyone is defenseless, the confusion on Zhang Erzhen's face clearly fell into Bai Ruo's eyes, Bai Ruo smiled again, "You are no different, not even as many ladies in Beijing." ”

Zhang Erzhen carefully chose the words, afraid of hurting this big beauty: "You...... has already entered the palace. ”

Bai Ruo's smile didn't change, Zhang Erzhen felt a lot bitter, Bai Ruo said leisurely: "But what does it matter." ”

Since you are with his father, don't worry about him! Zhang Erzhen wanted to say, but she didn't say it, the indifference and indifference on Bai Ruo's face seemed to tell her that she wanted to be crooked, but ......, "Why aren't you jealous of the crown princess?"

"I'm jealous of her?" Bai Ruo showed a touch of sarcasm: "She's not worthy." ”

"You...... Are you an old acquaintance with the prince?" Zhang Erzhen carefully chose the words.

"Nature is cognizant. "Bai Ruoyun is light and light.

Zhang Erzhen became more and more confused, if Zhaoyi looked for her to do something, Zhang Erzhen's hungry belly shouted, and the beauty could appreciate it, but it couldn't be eaten as a meal. Bai Ruo heard the thunderous movement, a little puzzled, and looked at Zhang Erzhen in confusion, and Zhang Erzhen went straight up: "I haven't eaten in the morning." ”

Bai Ruo seemed to be stunned for a moment, she never thought that a woman's stomach would make such a sound, she looked curiously at Zhang Erzhen's thin body under her pink clothes, it was really a real person who didn't show her face, was she so hungry?

Zhang Erzhen thinks that people eat grains and grains, even if Wu Zetian still has to go to the toilet, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Bai Ruo seemed to be very happy, signaling that Zhang Erzhen could go back, Zhang Erzhen stood up, didn't take two steps and turned her head to stare at Bai Ruo's delicate face deeply: she is so smart and fairy, is she really willing to spend her life in this deep palace? After all, the body of the saint is obvious to all, and she will not live for about five years.
