The hottest time of summer has passed, and the concubines in the palace have gradually begun to come out and walk around during the day.

When Lin Jiaojiao led people to the imperial garden, she saw several little concubines sitting in the pavilion, and a slender figure kneeling on the ground.

She frowned slightly, it was too common for this kind of thing to happen in the harem.

"Niangniang, that's Zhang Meiren, Huacai and Xiliangren, and the one kneeling is Mu Promise."

Chu Xue saw that his master stopped, his eyes fell on the pavilion not far away, and he hurriedly told the identities of those people.

These people have never heard of it, it should be a newcomer who came in this draft, and his position is not high and he has no favor. can look at the posture of teaching people, and it is full of control.

It's just that it's none of her business, and she doesn't want to be nosy, so she prepares to leave as soon as her steps turn. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a graceful figure walking towards the pavilion, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Oops, this is not the concubine who has been favored recently.

The footsteps that were about to leave paused, and then they also walked towards the gazebo.

Gradually approaching the pavilion, I heard Hui Concubine's clear voice, and only the voice became more comfortable to listen to.

"Sisters, get up."

After Ning Yurong sat down, with a gentle smile on her face, her eyes fell on the thin woman kneeling on the ground, and asked with surprise, "What happened?" How Mu promised to kneel here. ”

When the round-faced attacker heard this, he hurriedly explained: "This Mu promised to collide with Huacairen, so she was punished for kneeling on the ground." ”

Ning Yurong nodded when she heard this, and then said: "I see, it's just that I should have been kneeling for a long time when I looked at Mu Cairen, and it should be about the same." Everyone is serving the emperor's sisters, so don't hurt the peace. ”

Hui Concubine's status is higher than theirs, and now that she is favored again, they naturally dare not refute her words.

"Sister Hui Concubine said yes." Hua Cairen spoke softly and gently, and then his eyes fell on Mu Cairen and said softly: "Mu promised not to thank Sister Hui Concubine." ”

Mu promised a slender figure, the whole person was a little thin, she raised her head to reveal a delicate little face, but her eyes were a little wooden, so that her little face lost a little color.

"The concubine thanked Sister Hui."

Her voice is also very nice, but her tone is somewhat flat.

Maybe it's because I've been kneeling for a long time, and just about to stand up, my knees hurt and I sit back down.

Lin Jiaojiao signaled to Chu Xue beside her, and Chu Xue immediately ran forward to help the person up.

The people in the pavilion looked at the person who suddenly appeared, and immediately recognized the other party as the big palace maid Chuxue next to the concubine Niangniang, and then raised his head to see the bright beauty standing among the flowers not far away, and the demeanor of that body overshadowed the flowers around her.

After coming back to their senses, several people hurriedly got up and saluted.

"See the concubine."

Lin Jiaojiao walked with graceful steps and approached. After sitting down, he raised his hand: "Let's all get up, a few sisters have come to Yaxing and found such a good place to enjoy the scenery." ”

This small pavilion is close to the lake, with a flower bush in the distance and a man-made rockery on the opposite side of the lake. There are mountains and rivers, and it is beautiful.

The main thing is that it's still a shady place, and it's cool even during the day. On the stone table in the pavilion are a few plates of snacks and a pot of tea, which is very pleasant.

"Did the concubine also come out to relax? If you don't mind, you can join your sisters. ”

Concubine Hui's eyes fell on Concubine Lin's body, looking at that extremely delicate face, a trace of jealousy faintly crossed her heart.

The emperor has treated her very well these days, the two of them have recognized each other, and when she thinks of what the emperor said to herself, she has a trace of secret sweetness in her heart.

It's just that she knows that even if the emperor treats her well now, most of it is because of the grace of saving her life at the beginning. And what she has to do is to rely on this special thread to firmly occupy a position in the emperor's heart.

Lin Jiaojiao looked at the heroine in front of her, looking at her red face, not only secretly thinking in her heart. Could it be that the Dog Emperor has already pampered her? This speculation made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

Although she also kept telling herself that the dog emperor was a common cucumber. But knowing that the dog emperor may have spoiled the heroine, she was still a little unhappy in her heart.

As if she hadn't heard Concubine Hui's words, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes fell on Mu Promise, who was hanging her head, and said softly: "This palace looks at Mu Promise's face is not very good, let's go back and rest first, and ask Imperial Doctor Feng to go over and take a look at her." ”

I don't know what's going on, Mu promised that there was no palace maid waiting with him. Lin Jiaojiao asked Chu Xue to send the person back and called the imperial doctor to come over to take a look.

Mu Cheng seemed to be a little surprised, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Guifei, and then immediately lowered her head, and Mu Ne thanked her.

Ning Yurong was slightly embarrassed, but in the end it was the heroine, she just returned to normal in an instant, drinking tea with a teacup and no longer speaking.

But in her heart, she secretly looked down on Concubine Lin's style, and thought that it was because she was favored by the emperor these days that she was uncomfortable and made her ugly. But she didn't care, but hoped that this one would give her more ugliness, and let the emperor see her face.

The other three little concubines looked at Concubine Hui and Concubine Lin, and they didn't dare to speak for a while, offending anyone was not something they could afford.

For a while, the pavilion was exceptionally quiet, and Lin Jiaojiao glanced at the expressions of several people out of the corner of her eyes. The discomfort in her heart eased a little, and she naturally wouldn't make others happy if she wasn't happy.

It's really funny to see how they want to talk but don't dare to speak.

Except for Lin Jiaojiao, who was particularly comfortable, eating and drinking, the other people were indeed a little uncomfortable, and even Ning Yurong was uncomfortable sitting in such a silent atmosphere.

She moved, and as soon as she wanted to get up, she saw Grandpa Chang coming over beside the emperor. Her eyes lit up, and she sat back down in an instant.

Every time this time in the past few days, the emperor will ask people to summon her to accompany her in the imperial study. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Lin Guifei, not even noticing herself, with a hint of hidden provocation in her eyes.

Lin Jiaojiao naturally saw the provocation in the heroine's eyes, and looked at Chang Hai who ran over, she hooked her lips and smiled.

"Grandpa Chang, what are you here for? Looking at the big sun, I was sweating all over my head when I ran. ”

Lin Guifei spoke first, and Ning Yurong swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, but her eyes also fell on Chang Gonggong.

When Chang Hai saw Concubine Lin in the pavilion, he chuckled in his heart, why is this ancestor here. Although the emperor didn't go to the concubine's side these days, he would ask about the concubine's movements several times every day.

He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Say hello to the concubine." ”

"Get up." She called lazily, and looked at Chang Hai lightly, waiting for him to reply. Although the emperor's favorability towards her has not changed, since the queen mother's birthday banquet, she always feels as if the dog emperor is deliberately avoiding her.

In the past, he would go to accompany the Queen Mother for lunch in two or three days, but how many days have passed, he has never been to Cining Palace once, and there has been no major event in the previous dynasty recently, so all this is not normal.

This is also one of the reasons why she wants to come out and walk around today, the Imperial Garden is a must-have place for Gong Dou, and if you go up here and walk around, you may be able to find something.

The corners of Chang Hai's mouth were bitter, and he glanced at Concubine Hui and then at the concubine. moved the corners of his mouth, and replied respectfully: "The old slave was ordered by the emperor to summon the master of the concubine to accompany him in the imperial study. ”

As he spoke, he quietly glanced at the concubine Niangniang, and saw that she had a bright smile on her face, but for some reason he always felt that this smile was a little dangerous.

"It turned out that the emperor summoned Sister Hui Concubine to accompany her, it seems that the emperor loves Sister Hui Concubine very much." Her voice became more and more soft and gentle, and her eyes turned to the side of the concubine Hui and said with a smile: "Then sister Hui concubine, let's go with Father-in-law Chang, so as not to make the emperor anxious." ”

Ning Yurong was secretly happy in her heart, and her face unconsciously took a bit of a victor's posture, and she saluted: "That sister will retire first." ”

Watching Chang Hai leave with people, Lin Jiaojiao comfortably pinched a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, and it didn't seem to be affected in any way. But only she knew how heavy she had bitten this snack.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then they all got up and found a reason to leave, they didn't want to stay here any longer, what if they were used by the concubine Niangniang to get angry, before they entered the palace, the family had explained the information of this person.

She was the only one left in the pavilion, and Lin Jiaojiao pouted boringly. When Chu Xue sent Mu Promise to come back, he took people back to Changle Palace.

"Niangniang, this concubine really didn't disappoint us, you see how much the emperor loves her now, even Concubine Lin has to step back. And looking at Concubine Hui, she didn't seem to be afraid of Concubine Shanglin. ”

Mama Du stood beside the queen and looked at what happened in the pavilion just now.

Now the queen's body has been conditioned, but the imperial doctor also explained that she walked around and basked in the sun. The weather was not so hot today, so she helped the queen out for a walk, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

The queen hooked her lips and smiled peacefully: "Now that the emperor has recognized the concubine, he will naturally love her a little more." But if you really want to compete with Concubine Lin, it's still early. You see, that is not a provocative master. ”

After saying that, she turned around and walked back, she had already given the opportunity, it was up to Hui Concubine to seize it.

Seeing that she was about to arrive at Fengyi Palace, she saw Xiaoyue, the big palace maid beside her, running towards her.

"Niangniang, Concubine Niangniang asks to see her, and people are now waiting in the side hall."

The queen was stunned when she heard this, and then hooked her lips and smiled: "She is obedient." ”

In Fengyi Palace, the queen changed into a regular dress before someone called Concubine Shu over.

"The concubine sees the queen's mother." With a gentle smile on her face, Concubine Shu stepped forward to salute in a formal manner.

"Get up, what's the matter with Concubine Shu?"

The queen asked Concubine Shu to serve tea, and then took a slow sip of the teacup herself, and asked knowingly.

Concubine Shu took the tea offered by the palace people and took a sip to explain the meaning of today's arrival.

"The concubine looked at the queen's phoenix body, so she hurried over to return the palace power."

She knew in her heart that the queen had always squeezed the palace power in her hand. Waiting for others to ask for it, it is better to take the initiative to return it yourself, and you can still leave a good impression on the queen. Only by gaining the trust of the queen can it help her to act.

When the queen heard this, a dignified smile appeared on her face: "You, you are just too cautious. This palace trusts you, so it will hand over the public power to you. Look at the time you have handled it very well, especially the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, which was arranged very safely. ”

As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then gently rubbed her head, showing a little tiredness between her eyebrows.

"Although the body of this palace is very good, the doctor can't work too hard, and he still needs to recuperate for a while. Now among the high-ranking concubines in the harem, you are the most trusted by the palace, and you can only work hard for a few more days. ”

Hearing the queen's words, Concubine Shu's eyes were a little worried: "Niangniang's body is not good yet?" Are all the doctors in this hospital quacks? ”

The queen did smile when she heard this: "It's no wonder that the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, it's really that the palace has worked too hard over the years, and the bottom of the body is not very good. ”

"The queen mother should pay more attention to her body, you are the master of the harem. Since Niangniang trusts the concubine so much, the concubine will not let Niangniang down. ”

Concubine Shu was very happy in her heart, the longer she held the palace, the more her own people could be placed. Thinking of the concubine Hui who is being favored now, this is the person who is the queen's mother who has launched the concubine's favor, her eyes moved slightly.

"Queen Mother, now that Concubine Hui's position is different from in the past, the palace people serving around her should also increase, do you think you should let the Internal Affairs Office arrange it?"

The queen sneered in her heart, she couldn't sit still and wanted to stretch out her hand to Concubine Hui. But I also know to ask her, after all, she didn't avoid anyone when she sent things to Concubine Hui.

"Concubine Hui's side has its own arrangements."

Concubine Shu answered, and sure enough, Concubine Hui is also the queen's person.

After another conversation with the queen, Concubine Shu left Fengyi Palace with someone.

In the imperial study, Chang Hai sent Hui Concubine back and glanced at the emperor who was reviewing the folds.

"Say anything."

The emperor dropped the fold in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Chang Hai, who wanted to speak and stopped.

Chang Hai glanced at the emperor, pondered for a while, and said: "When the slave went to invite Hui Concubine, he met the concubine Niangniang......

Hearing the villain from Chang Haikou, Jun Wenyuan cheered up a little, but his face was indifferent.

"Oh? You go to invite Hui Concubine, how can you meet the concubine? ”

Thinking of the secret letter he received a few days ago, the emperor felt a little awkward in his heart. It turned out that it was all his own imagination in the past, and he was the person he liked from beginning to end.

When he saw the secret letter, his heart was full of joy. But then he was a little angry and his own secret joy, as an emperor, he could not be affected by others. I don't allow myself to have a weakness, once it is known, the consequences are unimaginable.

During this time, he was very conflicted, wanting to see her, but not allowing his emotions to be swayed by her. So these days, he avoids her, thinking that it will fade after a long time.

But now that she is mentioned from Chang Haikou, this heart has begun to mess up again.

"The concubine Niangniang and the concubine Hui and a few little masters seem to be enjoying the scenery in the pavilion of the imperial garden."

Anyway, when he arrived, that's what he saw, but it seemed that the atmosphere was a little weird.

"Did she ask me?"

Chang Hai glanced at the emperor and lowered his head: "No, the concubine asked the slave ......"

Listening to Chang Hai explain the matter again, Jun Wenyuan felt very uncomfortable.

If I don't go to Changle Palace, can't she take the initiative to come to the imperial study by herself?

When I saw Chang Hai, I didn't know to ask me!

The Emperor is displeased!

Chang Hai glanced at the emperor's obviously unhappy face, and sighed in his heart. It turns out that the emperor also has such childish times, but it also makes people feel more vivid.

He didn't know what happened to the emperor and the concubine, the two of them were fine before. However, as a confidant eunuch beside the emperor, he naturally knew that the concubine was a little different from the concubine next to the emperor.

He has never seen the emperor care so much about any concubine!

"The slave looked at the concubine's face and didn't seem to be very good, I don't know if she was unwell, she didn't seem to have any energy."

Sure enough, hearing his words, the emperor's face changed, and there was a look of worry between his eyebrows.

"Why can't she take care of herself so much, are the people in her palace all decorations?"

The emperor's face was ugly, and he got up suddenly. Just about to walk to the door of the imperial study, he sat back again.

A hint of awkwardness flashed in his eyes, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke: "I haven't been to see the queen mother for a long time, and I am in Cining Palace." ”

Chang Hai: ......

Lin Jiaojiao in Changle Palace has indeed been a little uncomfortable these days, and she is lying on the soft bed at this time. The little face is a little white, and the whole person is very lazy.

A green silk shawl, lined with a small face only the size of a palm.

"Go and prepare the soup woman, the mother's stomach is swollen and painful, and it is probably about to be a small day."

Lin Jiaojiao raised her hand and glanced at the person who spoke, and her tone became more and more delicate: "It's still Mama Lin who knows the palace best, it's good for you to come back." ”

The person with a serious face in front of her, but with love in her eyes, is Mama Lin, who has just returned to the palace. Lin Jiaojiao grew up under the watchful eyes of Mama Lin, otherwise she would not have been able to give up the children in the family to accompany her into the palace to serve.

"It's the old slave who came back late." After speaking, she turned her head and her face became more and more serious: "Niangniang will be like this a few days before she comes on a small day, you should pay more attention in the future, and you must not let Niangniang eat cold things again." ”

"Yes, slaves and maidservants must remember." Chu Xue and a few people hurriedly responded, respecting and fearing Mama Lin in their hearts.

Mama Lin's means of rectifying people can simply turn out flowers.

Lin Jiaojiao looked at the well-behaved Chu Xue and a few people, and laughed out loud: "Mama, don't talk about them, look at the few of them who are scared." ”

Mama Lin's expression also eased when she heard this, and ordered a few people to do things, and she stayed in the room to serve.

The Queen Mother brought the palace people over, and went directly to the inner room without passing the rumor. Seeing Lin Jiaojiao, whose little face was a little white, her brows furrowed.

"What's going on? Feeling unwell? ”

Seeing the Queen Mother, Lin Jiaojiao was stunned, and then hurriedly got up to salute. But he muttered secretly in his heart, and finally knew where the root of the emperor did not like to pass on and came in, it turned out to be inherited from the queen mother.
