When I got up in the morning, there was a burst of snow, and now the sky was clear again, and the warm sun sprinkled on her body made Bai Yanran's depressed mood better.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the two got out of the carriage and entered the palace. When I turned the corridor, I vaguely heard several palace people talking about it, saying that Ji Sihong had been kneeling in Zichen Palace for a long time in order to posthumously bury Concubine Song with the rites of the concubine.

Bai Yanran looked at Ji Lingyun, Ji Lingyun smiled without saying a word, the two looked at each other and smiled, turned a deaf ear and turned the corridor and continued to Fengyi Palace.

When I arrived at Fengyi Palace, Aunt Gu Yue greeted her, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, the queen sent someone to pass on the prince and the princess to enjoy the plum, and His Royal Highness the prince also came to ask for peace, this Fengyi Palace is really lively today." ”

said that he happily welcomed the two in, and really saw that Ji Chengyu was already sitting in the hall eating tea, and the two brothers exchanged a meaningful look. Seeing that the two sons were there, it was difficult to hide the joy on his face, Ji Lingyun had always had a sweet mouth, and the coaxing Tong family couldn't close his mouth.

"Today the sun is better outside, and the green plum blossoms in the dark incense garden are even better, let's go and see a rarity."

Although it was winter, with Aunt Gu Yue here, things would naturally be done properly.

The octagonal pavilion in the garden for people to enjoy the scenery has been tightly covered with a curtain at the moment, and the wind and snow are blocked out, leaving only the front for people to enter and exit the view.

The seat is covered with thick animal skin cushions, and there is a brazier in the corner, which does not make people feel cold. Tong naturally sat on the top, and Ji Lingyun and Ji Chengyu sat on both sides. Bai Yanran was supposed to sit at the same table with Ji Lingyun, but was called by the Tong family to sit down beside her.

This green plum is indeed a rare thing, it was originally a thing of Beiyu, and it was sold for a thousand gold when it first flowed into the Li Kingdom. However, after all, it is the south orange and the north orange, which has been planted in the palace for so many years, and it will only bloom this year.

A piece of green plum wrapped in silver is indeed beautiful, and the beautiful scenery is current, Ji Lingyun and Ji Chengyu are also relaxed and talk about drinking fine wine.

Tong Shi took Bai Yanran's hand and said earnestly: "I made you suffer some time ago, but I didn't think about it. Fortunately, you are a smart person, you have lived up to the expectations of the queen mother, and you can finally rest assured that the palace is well organized. ”

As she spoke, she beckoned, and a palace person presented a tray. Aunt Gu Yue lifted the cloth towel covering it, revealing the gilded jade begonia shining inside and shook it.

Tong said with a smile: "The queen mother is very pleased to have a master like you in the palace. This step is made for you by the Queen Mother's special place name Shanggong Bureau, do you still like it? ”

Before Bai Yanran could speak, a woman's voice interjected.

"The day before yesterday, the concubine went to the Niangniang Palace and saw this step of greed, it was something that the queen wanted to reward the princess, no wonder she was so attentive."

While speaking, Concubine Shu led people into the pavilion, several people greeted each other, and the queen asked: "Concubine Shu, there are six princes and four princesses, why are you free today?" ”

Concubine Shu leaned sideways to reveal the slim and pretty woman behind her, and took her hand affectionately and said: "Don't hide it from the queen, the six princes and the fourth princess have always been pestering, if it weren't for the little sister in the family to accompany her in the palace, and want to come to the Dark Xiangyuan to see the green plum blossoms, the concubine really can't pull out." ”

Tong Shi looked at the beautiful girl in her cardamom years, and the girl shy and saluted a few people one by one: "Courtier Tong Ruoyao, I have seen the queen's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King An, Princess An." ”

Her gaze looked at everyone in turn, and stayed on Ji Lingyun for a moment, and her face was even more flushed. Tong Shi saw it in his eyes, and added a little smile: "Cheng Yu, Ling Yun, if you talk about rumors, you can be regarded as your cousin." If you have a rumor, you don't have to be so polite, you will come to the palace more often when you have time in the future, and the palace will be happy to see you. ”

Bai Yanran's eyes narrowed slightly, the expression on her face remained unchanged, but her heart was tight.

Concubine Shu and Tong Ruoyao sat down, Concubine Shu sat on the other side of the queen, but Tong Ruoyao's seat was placed next to Ji Lingyun.

Ji Chengyu seemed to have noticed something, and looked at Ji Lingyun with a joke in his eyes. Ji Lingyun didn't notice it, or laughing with Ji Chengyu, or enjoying flowers and drinking, as if he didn't know that someone around him was looking at him.

Although Concubine Shu and the queen were talking, their eyes kept looking at this side as if they were nothing, and when they saw this, they exchanged a look, and Concubine Shu said: "It's just that flower viewing is boring, and it is best to be accompanied by singing and dancing." ”

Tong looked at Ji Lingyun with a smile and said, "Lingyun's Xiao Yi is quite good, but I don't know if the queen mother has this ear blessing today?" ”

Ji Lingyun naturally responded: "The minister there will be ugly." ”

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "This is a coincidence, Yao'er is the best at dancing, Yao'er, are you willing to dance?" ”

Ji Lingyun's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't say anything more. Tong Ruoyao got up and replied shyly: "It is a blessing for the courtiers to be able to dance for the queen mother and the two princesses. ”

Seeing Tong's satisfied nod, she quickly glanced at Ji Lingyun next to her, but saw that the corner of his eye did not give her a single bit, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed and went down with the palace people to change clothes. Beanie boxes

Bai Yanran is not a fool, Tong and Concubine Shu are acting so obviously, and they obviously did not hide their meaning. Seeing that Ji Lingyun seemed to be ignorant, Tong Shi turned to Bai Yanran and said meaningfully: "If you want to say that Concubine Shu is a blessed person, a pair of dragon and phoenix twins is something that others can't envy. When the palace saw the six princes and the four princesses, he liked it, and always remembered that Cheng Yu and Ling Yun came when they were children.

Yanran, you and Ling Yun have been married for some days, but this palace has been looking forward to good news. Now that you are married into the royal palace, it is a top priority to start a branch for the royal head, and you should think about it more. ”

Bai Yanran could hear the meaning of Tong's words, her fingertips couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand, and her face was as respectful as usual: "Erchen remember the teachings of the queen mother. ”

Tong nodded with satisfaction, looked at the gilded jade begonia in Aunt Gu Yue's hand and shook it, Aunt Gu Yue got Tong's signal, stepped forward and handed the thing to Su Xin, who was accompanying Bai Yanran.

Concubine Shu said with a smile on the side: "The begonias are blooming, which is a good story. Begonia is the most gentle and generous flower, and the queen's painstaking princess should be remembered. ”

Bai Yanran raised her head, did not dodge or dodge her meaningful gaze at Concubine Shu, and said lightly: "What Concubine Shu said is very true, and Yanran will remember it in her heart." ”

For some reason, Concubine Shu was a little stunned under Bai Yanran's gaze, and couldn't help but sneer.

While speaking, Tong Ruoyao had already changed into a light green long-sleeved dance skirt, and a plum blossom seal was lit on her forehead, which complemented the continuous green plums behind her.

Ji Lingyun's jade flute was worn around his waist, but there was no need to bother. A palace maid obeyed the order to go and fold a green plum branch, Tong Ruoyao's eyes swept over Ji Lingyun, then took it in her hand, and danced to the sound of the flute.

It was about a hot heart, and she was not afraid of the cold, so she stepped on the snow and flew with her long sleeves. You can see that you have really practiced hard, and it is on par with the dancing girls in the palace.

It's just that the dancing girl in the palace dances to make a living, but she dances to ask for the position of a side concubine.

Even if the Tong family has no famous words, it is impossible for Tong Ruoyao's identity to be only a nameless concubine. If this is the case, the Tong family doesn't have to go to such great lengths, just send people to King An's Mansion directly.

At that time, Tong Sanye was not married after he decided to be married, but he forced a girl in the house to get pregnant after drinking. In the congratulatory gift on the wedding day, the Tong family gave Mrs. Tong a little jade ruyi. Jeweled hairpins.

This hairpin is not only precious, but also given by the queen herself, representing the glory of the middle palace. Such a dirty thing was strictly covered up by Mrs. Tong, and Mrs. Tong was kept in the dark, and she always wore the hairpin complacently.

Now the queen first mentioned the matter of the heir, and then gave herself this gilt jade begonia and shook it, reminding herself to be tolerant of people through the words of begonias.

The so-called amount of tolerance is just to compromise and relive a lifetime, and the last thing she wants is to compromise.

Tong Ruoyao's dancing skills are not bad, and today she is even harder, and there is sweat on her forehead in the ice and snow. She looked at the pair of eyes of the person who was playing the flute with affection, but Ji Lingyun seemed to have become a piece of wood, and she couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed.

After the dance, Tong Ruoyao finally withdrew the gaze that was glued to Ji Lingyun, stepped forward, ignored Su Xin and Zhu Ling beside Bai Yanran, and directly held the green plum in her hand in front of Bai Yanran.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and said with a little restraint: "The courtier and the princess hit it off at first sight, and dared to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and dedicate this flower to the princess, may the princess be as noble and flawless as this plum blossom." ”

Bai Yanran looked at the delicate woman in front of her, her face was pale, her eyes were charming, but her eyes were bound to win. Seeing that Bai Yanran didn't answer for a long time, she couldn't help but show a pitiful look, but the corners of her lips were raised.

Bai Yanran was about to reach out to pick it up, but Ji Lingyun had already stepped forward and took her hand, and said reproachfully: "It's been cold these days, and I heard you cough twice when I got up this morning, how can I touch such a cold thing." Su Xin, don't put it away quickly, don't tell Miss Tong to wait for a long time. ”

Tong Ruoyao bit her lip, quickly put away her unwillingness, and said coquettishly with her cheeks: "Thank you for the prince's size, if the rumor is abrupt, please don't blame the princess." ”

Bai Yanran smiled and said, "Miss Tong, where is this, it's my body that doesn't fight." is not as blessed as Miss Tong, she can still dance on a snowy day, and she must have been physically strong. ”

Concubine Shu said on the side: "What the princess said is very true, Ruoyu has always been healthy, and grandmother once said that Ruoyu's body is a good birth at first glance." ”

The grandmother in Concubine Shu's mouth refers to Mrs. Tong, and Concubine Shu's family is just an inconspicuous side branch of the Tong family. If it weren't for the fact that the queen was not favored and let her enter the palace, Concubine Shu gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and the mother was expensive by virtue of her son, how could Mrs. Tong look at Tong Ruoyao in her eyes.

Now that she mentioned it, it was obvious that this matter was instructed by Mrs. Tong again. If Tong Ruoyao's family background was not Concubine Shu's sister, and Concubine Shu was loyal to the queen, Tong Ruoyao would not have the opportunity she had today.

This is not too surprising.

The queen has always been obedient to Mrs. Tong, even if there was an incident between Zhu Yong and Miao Yu, Bai Yanran never naively thought that she would be able to make the queen sober up, and Mrs. Tong's counterattack was even more expected.

Tong frowned slightly, and then smiled again: "Ling Yun, the day before yesterday, I also talked to Concubine Shu about Ruoru's marriage, it would be better if I could kiss and add it in person, what do you think?" ”
