In the golden autumn of September, the weather has gradually become no longer hot, the queen's phoenix body is also nearly healed and recovered, and she still closes her door to thank guests, so as to avoid the morning and dusk of the concubines, and the palace concubines are also happy and comfortable, do not disturb each other, and the palace is a peaceful and calm scene.

There seems to be a turmoil in the army in the north, coupled with the bandits in the southwest and disturbing the people, the emperor is worried about the government, and he has not set foot in the harem for several days, and he has not left the Taiji Palace. Although the harem concubines want to compete for favor, they can't even get to see the emperor, and other tricks are naturally useless.

In Zhongcui Palace, Liu Zhaoyi came by appointment to enjoy flowers and tea with Concubine Xian.

"Sister Xianfei is so interested, she drinks tea every day and copies Buddhist scriptures, and she has the freedom to share her family in this harem." Liu Zhaoyi smiled coquettishly, as if she was complimenting and praising her.

"Sister, don't make fun of me, now in this palace: the emperor is busy with court politics, and the queen is recuperating behind closed doors. Those of us who are concubines don't do these idle things, what can we do? Concubine Xian was on the side, scooping the tea leaves with a wooden spoon made of mahogany and putting them into the bowl, and poured the boiling water in the pot next to her, the steam carried the fragrance of tea and rose up, and the boiling water was brewed repeatedly, and then poured into the porcelain bowl and placed in front of herself and Liu Zhaoyi respectively.

She took a sip of the tea in her hand, "Hmm....... Sure enough, it is the best Dongting Biluo Spring, slender and multi-milli, curly into a snail, tender and long-lasting, fresh and mellow taste, sweet aftertaste. Sister, you should be calm when drinking tea, and don't think too much. ”

"My sister is calm, but I toss and turn, and I don't eradicate hidden dangers for a day, I ........ Could it be that we are in the palace like this, living such a boring and boring life? ”

"Oh? What did my sister think before entering the palace? Could it be ...... Is it fun to fight with people? Concubine Xian smiled happily, as if she meant something. We can still enjoy the flowers and tea here, it is a great luck, look at Yang Cairen in the cold palace, even a good meal may not be able to eat, my sister should not be bored with life. ”

"I came today to discuss this matter with my sister, half a month ago, the queen sent someone to the cold palace, although she acted in a hidden and sneaky manner, but she was still discovered by the palace people I arranged to pay attention to the movements of the cold palace. My sister only said at the time that she should not be anxious, wait for the opportunity, and not act rashly. But recently, the emperor has no time to take care of the harem, and the queen is shrinking in the palace again, so the time is so good that it can't be delayed any longer. When talking about the queen, Liu Zhaoyi's tone was full of contempt and disdain, and she flattered the respect in front of people, judging them like two people.

"What kind of good way has my sister been found?" Concubine Xian gently and evenly picked up the celadon, held it in the palm of her hand, and a few pieces of tea stretched in the clear and turquoise liquid, rotated, slowly sinking, rising and sinking again, three ups and three downs, bud shadows and water, reflecting each other. She just watched quietly, her eyes dark and soft, watching the tea gradually sink to the bottom of the cup.

"It's just over midsummer, didn't my sister forget? The day before yesterday, you also reminded your sister: This autumn is only afraid of dry weather, be careful of the fire candles, and drink more water. The leaves that fall every day in the palace are cleaned by special people, which can be cold in the palace....... The location is remote, no one cares, and there are many deciduous and dead trees, which are most prone to hidden dangers, such as ...... Where to walk on the water, isn't it? Liu Zhaoyi is very confident in her plan.

"Yike..... I just cared about my sister, I never thought that my sister would be so smart and could think of such a wonderful way. Can....... No matter how remote the cold palace is, no one pays attention to it, and it is also guarded by guards. Let's not talk about how to walk the water, it is burning the place where Yang Cairen lives in the cold palace, just after walking the water, the guards will try their best to put out the fire and rescue Yang Cairen, it is also too late. ”

"This sister rest assured, I have already found out in the past half month: there are two guards on duty in the cold palace, and they are on duty day and night. The maidservants in my palace have become acquainted with one of them, and know the hours of their daily rotation, so they only need to send my maidservants to laugh and drink with them when the guards who are familiar with them are on duty. Sister, your people sneak in again...... As long as you burn it quickly, what evidence is there? Liu Zhaoyi had a clear calculation in her heart, the two of them planned it together, so she couldn't just dirty her hands. Since the two are already in the same boat, they can only help each other in the same boat!

"I'm just afraid...... It may not be as smooth as my sister thought. Concubine Xian's face was embarrassed, "When the guards are on duty, they can't drink alcohol, it's not easy to kill him....... It's better to forget it, anyway, he didn't leave a handle at the beginning, Yang Cairen had no evidence, and no one believed him before he ended up in the cold palace. Should....... Don't worry, right? Concubine Xian's cowardly look made Liu Zhaoyi disdainful in her heart, all of them were timid and cautious, what if they were in a high position? Sooner or later, she's going to trample them all under her feet!

Now, she still has to flatter and flatter, "Sister, rest assured~ That guard is greedy for wine and lustful, and he has already married the maid in my palace...... Just put some strong medicine in the wine, so that he can be happy with both men and women...... The death is unknown, and he can't understand how he died when he goes to Huangquan. ”

"My sister is so capable! In the future, I will have to mention more sisters in the palace...... Don't dislike my sister, I'm stupid and ignorant. Concubine Xian's expression was sincere, and the meaning of worship in her eyes was very obvious, which made the person opposite feel comfortable physically and mentally, and it was extremely useful.

"Sister, what are you talking about! Since the emperor accepted Concubine Jia and Yu Meiren, our sisters have formed an alliance and become one with each other, you are glorious and I am honored, you are lost and I am lost, and we have long been grasshoppers on the same boat. Sister, I still look forward to my sister being in the palace in the future, and I will take care of it more. ”

"It's natural, sister, please drink tea." Concubine Xian personally presented the tea bowl, and paid tribute to Liu Zhaoyi, who was lower than herself, with a very humble and humble attitude, so that the other party's vigilance was completely eliminated.

When Lin Zhaoyi left, Concubine Xian respectfully sent her outside the palace gate. Then she returned to the place where she had just sit, took the tea residue out of the teapot with a tea tong, and washed it with warm water, with a slight disgust in her eyes. The teacup is rotated in the tea boat on the side, blanched with hot water, and then put in new tea leaves, one by one the buds and leaves slowly sink to the bottom of the cup, and then gradually float, swaying and floating along the direction of the water flow, three sinking and three floating, the tea leaves are slightly rolled, like pinched up small folds, taken out and placed in the tea tray.

The tea is soaked in seven times and brewed in seven bubbles, and the aroma is distinct. She scooped up a scoop of water and placed it quietly on the table, and after the ripples in the water, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were gradually reflected. The eyes are fierce, and the virtuous concubine who was just cowardly and timid, is like two people.

Fengchen Palace, the plane tree in the courtyard, the red leaves fluttering. Ye Zhiqiu placed a sleeping couch and a tea table under the tree, and read books under the tree for two hours a day.

Autumn breeze is the most pleasant season.

"Queen Mother, Gong Zheng sent someone to report: The emperor is still staying in the Taiji Hall today."

"Well, got it. Let Gonggong Zheng take care of the emperor's daily life and diet, don't be too tired and damage the dragon body. Ye Zhiqiu remembered something, put down the "Huainan Chronicles" in his hand, and asked, "What news is there over there?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, it was as you expected: greedy for wine and lustful things, and sure enough, when you smell the fox's commotion, you will be confused." Cuizhu knew it in her heart, and she admired it even more, when the queen asked her to quietly let Gonggong Zheng arrange the selection of the guards, she was still puzzled, and at this time, Fang Wu came up with a way. She was also worried that the queen mother had no heart for the city, and she would not be able to get justice for herself if she was bullied in the palace. Looking at it now, it may not be. It's just that I still don't understand in my heart: why should the queen be so forbearant after she became the middle palace?

"Hmm...... Don't let your guard down, this fish bites, wait for it to bite before starting the rod. ”
