The west side of the Rongfu ancestral hall is the courtyard of Rong Ye and Rong Wen in turn.

There is a cluster of straight and beautiful purple bamboos planted next to the warm courtyard wall.

After Shao Beicheng crossed the wall and left the Rong Mansion, a young man who was squatting on the wall of the courtyard with Rong Wen and borrowing bamboo bushes to cover himself stood up.

The young man's skills were also excellent, and he made a few light jumps, and finally entered the West Courtyard, stopping at the back window of Rong Ying's bedroom.

He first looked to the left and right, and after making sure that no one was there, he reached out and gently buckled the window lattice.

Soon, a maid opened the back window from the bedroom, and the boy opened the window and entered the house.

In the boudoir, the elegant girl in white sat at the small table with a book in her hand.

Seeing the young man walk into the house, she nodded to him: "Young Master Ling", and motioned for him to sit down.

The boy glanced at her, looked away, and sat down on the small round stool beside the table.

Although he looked away, his mind was full of her appearance......

She was born very well, Yuxue was lovely when she was young, and now she is gradually growing up, although her clothes are simple and her expression is cold, it is difficult to hide the natural beauty of the country.

The young man took a sip of tea, calmed down, and beckoned, "Second Miss." ”

Rong Ying put down the book in his hand and asked him, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

The young man replied, "At first, the lady and the eldest lady of your mansion were waiting outside the ancestral hall, but later the eldest lady persuaded the lady to return and wait outside the door alone. ”

"It's quiet in the ancestral hall, I was going to take a look, but then the third son of the Shao family went, and the third son stayed for a while and left, I was worried that the third son would be noticed, so I came back directly."

Rong Ying let out a "hmm" and thought silently for a while before she spoke: "Pretending to be stupid for so many years, I really underestimated her in the past......

"It's to help the eldest sister donate money to celebrate the festival, and it is to attract the third son of the Shao family to visit the ancestral hall at night...... Could it be that my three sisters want to be the Duchess of the Kingdom? ”

"It's just that she shouldn't have moved her mind to me, I planned to raise donations, is it to make her a wedding dress?"

"If she dares to borrow my east wind, I will let her know that the Duchess of Guo is so easy to do......"

She put away the coldness in her eyes and smiled lightly at the young man in front of her, "Young Master Ling, thank you." As the young owner of the dignified Hidden Sword Villa, you always do these little things for me......"

This young man is Ling Han, the young owner of the Ling family of Hangzhou Hidden Sword Villa, a martial arts master.

Ling Han looked at Rong Ying and persuaded her: "Second Miss, it's not a smart way to break the jade pot in order to beat the nest of mice, if you change your mind now, you still have time to stop......

Rong Ying stopped Ling Han: "Thank you for the kindness of the young owner, but, I have to do that thing in my life, and I don't want to implicate others, you don't have to persuade me anymore." ”

Ling Han stopped talking, he looked at Rong Ying regretfully and sighed.

Rong Ying also sighed and said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, so it's not easy to stop......

"Young master, you just look at me, how far can you go......

……

It's night, the Imperial City Forbidden Palace.

The emperor flipped through the folds in the hall of nourishing the heart.

A beautiful woman in a palace costume walked outside the hall with her entourage.

The internal officials immediately reported layer by layer, and finally, Gonggong Wei, who was standing beside the emperor, said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine Niangniang personally brought you some soup." ”

The emperor put down the recital, and his voice was gentle: "Please come in, concubine." ”

The door of the hall opened, and Xu Guifei personally walked into the hall with a small soup cup in both hands.

Born from a humble background but soaring, he was blessed by the emperor's favor.

The name of the dormitory where the concubine lives is called Guan Ju Palace, and the emperor stays in Guan Ju Palace for most of the month.

When the concubine Niangniang was a palace maid in the past, she got acquainted with a little sister named He Guiyun, who opened a restaurant after He Guiyun left the palace, which is now the most famous Guiyun Building in Kyoto City and even in the entire Great Zhou.

The birthday of the concubine is the first day of August, and the emperor will make the beginning of August a garden festival, so that all the people can enjoy and congratulate the concubine.

The prince went to school when he was young, studied literature with the elders, practiced martial arts with the general of the Shao family, and read with the second prince, the third prince, and the sons of the nobles.

Later, when the four princes entered the school, the same regulation was followed.

Even, even Princess Zhaohuai studied with the four princes with the elder of the pavilion, but the six princes studied alone in the Guozijian outside the palace.

Because the four princes and Princess Zhaohuai went to school together, in addition to the noble heirs, there were also several noble daughters, the eldest lady and the second lady of the Jiang family in the Rongguo Mansion.

After studying for several years, the fourth prince and Miss Jiang Er gradually fell in love.

Because there was no precedent for a prince to marry a concubine as a concubine in the past, the queen mother and the queen proposed that the four princes marry the two young ladies of the Jiang family at the same time, with Miss Chang as the main concubine and Miss Shu as the side concubine, which would not break the ancestral rules and fulfill the wishes of the four princes.

The emperor and Grandpa Rongguo both felt that the proposal was feasible, but the fourth prince insisted on marrying Miss Jiang Er as the concubine.

That incident has been going on for a long time, and the queen mother, the queen and the officials have all admonished them, but the emperor finally obeyed the wishes of the four princes and issued two edicts in succession, first assigning Miss Jiang to a new science and technology scholar, and then designating Miss Jiang Er as the concubine of the fourth prince.

In the first half of this year, he went to the wedding ceremony of the four princes, named the four princes as "King Chen", and then drove the expedition in person.

The Great Zhou is the emperor's, and the etiquette laws and ancestral rules are no match for the emperor's wishes.

And the concubine Niangniang is the one who called the emperor's heart.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is necessary for the wind to be windy and to be rainy.

What is good at the top will be worse at the bottom.

Now in the Forbidden Palace, where the Queen Mother and Queen have, there are only a lot more in the Guanju Palace, so it is not bad.

Outside the forbidden palace, all the children of the Xu family who have a little bit of talent have been awarded official positions, and those who have a little strength have joined the army, and they are really useless and have also received rich bounties. Everywhere the Xu clan went, the civil and military officials and gentry all welcomed them and did not dare to be contemptuous.

The 100th anniversary of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the first time such a concubine was born.

Some poor people reverie that their families can have the same blessings as the Xu family, and they have changed the Han people's patriarchal thinking for thousands of years, hoping that good women will not look forward to children.

Such a unique favor, people who have never seen the concubine often guess that she must be born with a beautiful face and a beautiful country.

But at this time, the lady who sent soup to the emperor, although her appearance was beautiful and soft, she was by no means a country and a city.

As soon as Xu Guifei walked into the hall with a small soup cup, Gonggong Wei was already busy greeting him, bending down to take the small cup, and after trying the poison, he put it on the bookcase in front of the emperor.

When the emperor looked at it, he saw five-colored balls floating in the lotus seed sugar water, which was novel and interesting.

He tasted them one by one, and looked up at the concubine with an obvious smile in his eyes: "I tasted the four flavors of purple potato, pumpkin, taro, and sesame, but I don't know what this green ball is made of?" ”

The concubine walked to the bookcase, and after saluting, she folded the folds on the bookcase for the emperor, and replied: "Your Majesty can guess that the four flavors are rare, the green balls use matcha powder, and the concubine kneaded the five raw materials into small balls with the tapioca flour from the concubine's hometown, and boiled them out crystal clear and smooth in the mouth." ”

The emperor scooped up another matcha ball, chewed it carefully, and said, "There are so many ingenuity in a small bowl of sweet soup, Yueniang has a heart." ”

The concubine smiled lightly: "As long as Your Majesty is satisfied, the concubine is willing to spend more thoughts." ”

He also persuaded: "Your Majesty, you have traveled a long distance and are injured, so it is really not appropriate to overwork. ”

The emperor stroked the concubine's hand: "I have been absent from the capital for a few months, and I have accumulated a lot of things, and I will accompany you well after these few days." ”

asked her again: "Jue'er entered the palace this afternoon, can you cook this five-color sweet soup for him?" ”

The concubine shook her head: "He and the princess were newly married, and the concubine saw that he was concerned about the princess, so she didn't keep him for dinner." ”

The emperor accentuated his tone: "How can you care about your wife and ignore your mother's concubine?" Although you have a loving mother's heart, you can't indulge him too much. ”

The concubine's heart sank.

The ancients especially attached great importance to filial piety, and she was careless......

She smiled and diverted the topic: "The concubine heard Jue'er talk about an interesting story today, the Tao is the Taining Marquis Mansion, first the second lady launched a fundraiser for the family of Bingjia, and the eldest lady Gao Yi donated a huge amount of money to the third lady. ”

The emperor nodded: "There is such a thing, after I got the report yesterday, I specially asked the Jue'er brothers and sisters to see it today, and they happened to witness the donation." ”

The concubine looked at the emperor thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "The concubine has also heard that Miss Rong Er is very beautiful and talented, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of it?" ”
