The blue sky is full of wisps of soft cloud feathers, the golden warm sun shines in the roses, and the delicate red roses in full bloom are like empresses draped in a light golden veil, swaying elegantly with the warm summer breeze in the shadows of the flowers, revealing a rich fragrance.

The meandering runoff is babbling endlessly.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the winding rockery water, and a few unknown flying insects swept by lightly, and the ripples were fleeting, only the splashing water droplets shone under the blue clear sky.

A piece of clear pearl flying jade.

The lilac palace skirt embroidered with petal magnolia flowers is elegant and gorgeous, and the summer evening holds the crystal clear mille-feuille osmanthus cake in the gold plate, and her voice is as soothing and soft as a cloud feather: "The slave often hears others say that when you are unhappy, you will feel that your mood will become sweet and sweet." The slave is stupid, and there is really no way to make Miss Nanda happy, so she can only borrow flowers to offer Buddha and use these pastries to please Miss Nanda. ”

The crystal clear pastry is sweet and soft and glutinous, Nan Zuisheng lowered his eyes and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and the corner of the sweet and elegant pastry gradually melted: "Actually, what you said is right, sometimes sad, if you are unhappy, eating some sweets can really make your mood better." ”

"In this case, the eldest lady will eat more, the slave likes to see the eldest lady happy, and does not like to see the eldest lady sad." The mottled shadow of the cherry blossom trees was reflected in the pretty and bright appearance of the summer evening, and she stared at Nan Zuisheng's beautiful side face like a picture scroll, and her words were impregnated with a little childish pity.

"Thank you, Summer Night." The sweet and elegant fragrance soaked between his lips and teeth, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to look at the beautiful face of the summer evening, and the shadows of the trees and the gilded brilliance sprinkled the uncrowned clothes on the two of them.

The lilac and gilt gold complement each other, revealing a magnificent color of haze gold and blue, Xia Wan stared at the white marble masonry in the pavilion, and his voice gradually lowered: "From beginning to end, it should be the slave maid who said thank you to the eldest lady, ---." If you hadn't saved the slave and maid last night and were willing to take in the slave and maid to serve by your side, I'm afraid that a person like the slave and maid who messed up the palace would have been expelled from the palace a long time ago......"

"Filthy Palace? What does this have to do with you? Summer night, last night's events are over, you just have to forget about it. The pink crystal cherry blossom hairpin that was obliquely pulled in Mo Yu's long hair slipped slightly, and Nan Zuisheng raised his hand to take off the hairpin carelessly, and put it between his jade fingers to caress and play with it.

The pale pink crystal is smooth and flawless, there is not the slightest texture of cotton wool in it, she caressed the slightly cool and crystalline texture of the crystal, and her voice was clear and soft: "Of course, you can also choose not to forget, sooner or later, I will settle accounts with Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine." She dared to take away my maid arrogantly and wantonly, which was too deceitful. ”

"Your maid?" Qingling's soft voice flowed to the ears, like a meandering flowing water, as ethereal and clear as flowing water, Xia Wan was confused when he heard the words, and gently put the gold plate in his hand on the white marble table.

The shadows of the swaying cherry blossom trees swayed on the white marble tabletop, Nan Zuisheng stared at the warm sun flowing on the hem of her skirt, and her long drooping eyelashes made it impossible to see the emotions in her ink eyes, "That's right, my maid." When I first arrived in the palace yesterday, there was a maid named Liuyun who was disrespectful to me by virtue of her status as the head of the sect with a gold medal, and when I first arrived, the rest of the palace people didn't dare to listen to my orders, only the second-class maid couldn't bear to see me being bullied, and took the risk of offending Liuyun to come forward and solve the dilemma for me. ”

The pretty and bright face was half-hidden in the gilded golden beam, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows and thought carefully for a moment, before she said slowly: "Liuyun slave knows it, she is the head of the sect in the palace, and she is usually very arrogant and arrogant by relying on her identity and the name given by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

At this point, she tilted her head slightly, and her clear eyes were soaked in a little softness: "As for what the eldest lady said, the second-class maid who had the courage to stand up should be a clerk, right?" ”

"Clerical?" The name with a strong and elegant bookish smell made people feel good when they heard it, and Nan Zuisheng whispered softly, and suddenly realized that he had never asked the name of the waitress from beginning to end.

The glossy and flawless pearl earrings swayed slightly on the side of Xia Wan's face, she blinked her clear and beautiful eyes, and her words were impregnated with sincere and innocent love and tenderness: "Yes, paperwork." She is one of the few girls in the palace who has a gentle and kind personality. The clerk is very gentle and beautiful, tall and slender, often wears a light blue palace dress depicting the style of a weeping willow bird, and handles things very neatly and neatly, never indecisively. ”

The shadow of the cherry blossom trees flowed on the face of the national color and heavenly fragrance, and Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes to look at the quiet and beautiful scenery outside the pavilion, and smiled lightly: "After listening to you, I seem to feel that the paperwork is right in front of me, she is indeed a gentle and beautiful girl, and she is wearing a light blue dress depicting the style of weeping willows and birds." ”

Xia Wan lowered her eyes and stared at Nan Zuisheng's beautiful and beautiful side face like a picture scroll, her bright eyebrows frowned slightly, and her mood gradually became heavy: "That's it, but how did the documents be taken away by Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in a good manner?" Don't...... Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine wants to reuse the documents in the same way as she uses me? No, this is absolutely not! ”

At this point, Xia Wan knelt down, raised her eyes and looked at Nan Zuisheng who was contemplative with tears in her eyes, and pleaded with a slightly choked voice: "Miss Nan, the slave begs you to save the paperwork, the slave really doesn't want the clerk to suffer the same as the slave and the concubine...... Ruthless coercion and temptation. ”

"Didn't I say it, don't kneel down at every turn." Layers of pure white soft gauze dresses fluttered in the warm and warm summer breeze, and Nan Zuisheng bent down gracefully, gently lifting up the summer evening movements of kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and pleading, like a distant mountain with a slight frown.

The finely carved crystal cherry blossom hairpin was quietly soaked in the gilded golden beam, and Nan Zuisheng picked up the tearful summer evening, word by word, and said: "Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will definitely rescue the paperwork." Last night I had planned to go to the consular office in the palace to retrieve the papers, but instead of retrieving them, I ...... "touched the edge of the abyss of danger."

"But no matter what, I'm not going to abandon the paperwork." The long eyelashes that were gorgeous like phoenix tail butterfly wings drooped slightly, and she stared at the tearful eyes of the summer evening, her eyes were gentle and shallow.

"Well, the slave believes in Miss Nanda." The clear tears gradually disappeared, and Xia Wan nodded heavily when she heard this, and then stood up and continued to serve Nan Zuisheng's side.

Xiu's narrow and slender jade fingers casually played with the crystal hairpin between his fingers, and Nan Zuisheng looked at the continuous palace pavilions in the palace from afar, and his voice slowly revealed an extremely ethereal illusion: "By the way, summer evening, take advantage of the time to be leisurely now, can you tell me about Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine?" I'm really curious about what kind of woman she is, and she can firmly grasp the heart of the emperor. ”

The lilac embroidered magnolia palace skirt swayed slightly in the warm breeze, and the summer evening lowered her eyes and stared at the mottled shadow of the cherry blossom tree, her eyes were slightly dark: "Although Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is ruthless and selfish, even the slave maid has to admit that she is a beautiful woman who knows how to judge the situation very well." ”

"Assess the situation...... That's the key to surviving in the palace. The long hair of the ink feather tied up by the light blue ribbon was slightly loose, and a wisp of ink flew with the warm wind, passing a soft and magnificent light and shadow in Nan Zuisheng's ink eyes.

The loose light blue ribbon gradually drooped, and Nan Zuisheng simply draped all the long crow-colored hair behind him, and the pure and flawless ink color fell along the delicate back arc to the edge of the white marble stone bench: "But when I was in the Xuan Kingdom, I never heard of any deeds about this Imperial Concubine, and I am very curious, how did she be canonized as His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine by His Majesty the Emperor of the Sakura Kingdom?" The rank of the imperial concubine is noble enough for the concubines, in this case, why has her existence been obscure? ”

"The reason for this is actually quite simple. Because Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine is not from a high background, it can even be said that --- is extremely humble. The faint gilt golden light and shadow soaked in the palace skirt of the summer evening, she raised her eyes to stare at Nan Zuisheng's puzzled look, deliberately lowered her voice and said cautiously.

"Humble?" The soft white light yarn fluttered in the warm breeze, and Nan Zuisheng took a white jade tassel waist pendant handed over by Xia Wan, and tied the white jade tassel waist pendant around the waist with elegant eyes.

The mottled shadow of the cherry blossom trees was clearly reflected in the gurgling water, and the summer evening leaned over, shortened the distance between him and Nan Zuisheng, and said slowly and methodically: "Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine was originally just a dancer in the song and dance department, but she was beautiful and enchanting, and she was soon promoted to a first-class dancer and became the dance consul of the song and dance department, responsible for the song and dance rehearsals of the dancers, as well as the list of performance qualifications for the palace banquet. ”

"Maidome? It is no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor of Sakura Kingdom has never revealed anything about the existence of this Imperial Concubine, it turns out that her identity is actually just a dancing girl. The moist and flawless cherry blossom hairpin flowed with a faint glow, and Nan Zuisheng couldn't hide his surprise when he heard the words and raised his eyes to look at the summer evening, and the slightly sharp hairpin head fell deep into the delicate palm, revealing a slight tingling sensation.

"Yes, in the Sakura country, the identity of the dancing girl is extremely humble, and she is not even as good as the maid in the palace." Xia Wan lowered his eyes and took out the crystal cherry blossom hairpin that pierced into Nan Zuisheng's palm, and after careful inspection and found that there was no red, swollen and bleeding wound, he relieved his heart and continued to narrate the life of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in a soft voice.

The golden warm sun gradually moved westward, and the pretty and bright appearance of the summer evening was soaked in the bright and radiant light, like a slowly blooming moon season: "But Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine gave birth to a good appearance, until when His Majesty held a grand and gorgeous palace banquet, she performed alone as the most exquisite dancing queen, with her beautiful face and enchanting and charming dancing, she successfully attracted His Majesty's attention, so that she received the emperor's favor before the banquet was over. ”

"The banquet is not over and I am grateful for the emperor's grace......" The pale red lip flap flowed with a faint golden glow, and Nan Zuisheng was bathed in the warm sun, and his posture was lazy and charming, reclining on the white marble stone bench.

The blue cherry leaves are falling one after another, the gurgling water is endless, and the summer evening eyes are staring at the gradually moving shadows of the trees in the pavilion, and the voice is soft: "Yes, this matter has been criticized by many imperial concubines in the palace, and even many powerful ministers outside the palace think that Her Royal Highness the imperial concubine is red and charming. ”

The eyebrows like smoke from the distant mountains frowned slightly, and Nan Zuisheng looked at the quiet and beautiful scenery outside the pavilion, and a little halo flowed in the gilded golden glow: "When His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine was first honored by His Majesty, what position was canonized?" Concubine, imperial concubine, or today's imperial concubine? ”

The magnolia flowers delicately embroidered by the silk thread with a trace of silver thread are lifelike, and the gold medal tassel worn on the waist of the palace skirt steadily suppresses the fluttering skirt, and the summer evening eyebrows are frowned, recalling the palace banquet that year, about the romantic encounter between the emperor and the dancing girl: "Concubine." Due to the outstanding dancing skills of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, His Majesty personally canonized her as the 'Dancing Concubine'. It stands to reason that the dancing girl is a more humble existence than the maid, and it is impossible to be crowned a concubine after receiving grace for the first time, but I don't know what means Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine used at the beginning, and after the bewildered His Majesty was fortunate to her, he immediately canonized her as a dancing concubine. ”

"Dancing Princess...... If this title is like a plaything for novelty and pampering, His Majesty's undoubted autograph canonization ceremony contradictory refutes this slightly frivolous title of 'dance'. Nan Zuisheng lowered her eyes and gracefully took half a sip of hibiscus flower dew, and her thoughts turned back and forth, even she couldn't guess the true thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor of the Sakura Kingdom.

The status of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in His Majesty's heart, is it expensive or cheap?

The sweet and elegant hibiscus flower dew slowly flowed out from the jade pot, and the summer evening gently poured the hibiscus flower dew into the white jade cup in Nan Zuisheng's hand, and said in the same puzzlement: "Who said it wasn't." The dancing queen is the most humble existence in the palace, but His Majesty just used this 'dance' word to give the title of His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine of the year, originally everyone in the palace said that the dancing concubine is just a plaything that His Majesty loves at will, and it will be abandoned when it is fresh, but just a few months later, His Majesty actually canonized the dancing concubine as His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine again. ”

The clear hibiscus flower dew flowed with an elegant fragrance, Nan Zuisheng gently caressed the wind and lotus rain dew embossed on the white jade cup, and his ink eyes were soaked with the warm sun and glow of gilded gold: "Summer evening, there is one thing I don't really understand. Aren't the two positions of dancing concubine and imperial concubine both concubines? And how to distinguish between high and low? ”

The lilac palace skirt swayed slightly, and the summer evening pavilion stood in the warm sun, staring at Nan Zuisheng who was reclining on the white marble bench, and explained softly: "The eldest lady doesn't know, the hierarchy of the concubines in the palace of the Sakura Kingdom is different from the complicated and long in the ancient East, in short, except for the Supreme and Noble Her Royal Highness the Queen, the rest from high to low are the --- Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine, Imperial Concubine, Concubine." ”

She narrowed her eyes and pondered, and said clearly and methodically: "These four grades are all the concubine ranks in the Sakura Kingdom Palace, among which the 'concubine' at the end is the most basic position, there is no title, and there is no 'emperor' as a rank title, so it is set as the last rank." ”

"Is that 'concubine' a woman who has been drafted in the Sakura country, or a woman who has received the emperor's favor, and who has originally obtained the rank of canonization?" Mo Yu's long hair was soft and supple on the soft white gauze skirt, and after listening to Xia Wan's narration, Nan Zuisheng gradually understood the simple but more cruel grade division in Sakura.

"Miss Nan, no. Only a woman from a humble background like Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine will be canonized as a 'concubine' after receiving the emperor's favor. The wisps of ink feather long hair fluttered in the warm sun, and the summer evening lowered her eyes patiently and gently sorted out Nan Zuisheng's long hair, took out a comb with ivory inlaid gems, and gently combed the messy and lingering ink hair in her hands.

When the layers of soft white gauze skirts fluttered, it was very beautiful and dreamy, and the jade-colored face of the southern drunken fairy was half-covered behind the white light veil, looking from afar, like a fairy who had descended from the earth at the beginning of the nine heavens: "In other words, if it is a noble-born woman, she will not be canonized as a 'concubine', but directly cross the rank of 'concubine' and canonize as other concubines, right?" ”

"That's right, Miss Nanda is really smart, and she can understand it at all." The ivory-inlaid gem-inlaid comb shone brightly, and after gently and meticulously combing the long hair of the ink feather in his hand, Xia Wan said with a smile.

"I see. Since the 'concubine' is a position that can only be canonized by a woman from a low background, what about the other concubine ranks? Nan Zuisheng thoughtfully picked up a piece of lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake, and the layers of soft and glutinous crystal osmanthus cakes were sweet and elegant, and when they melted in the mouth, they left a fragrant taste on their lips and teeth, which made people have a long aftertaste.

The exquisitely carved pale pink crystal cherry blossom hairpin flows with a smooth and flawless glow, and the summer evening picked up this delicate and simple hairpin, and skillfully pulled a classical half-shawl bun for Nan Zuisheng: "The concubine is generally prepared for the rank canonized by a woman from a humble background, and the imperial concubine is a ladder for the canonized rank of the woman of the nobles." ”

The pearl earrings swayed slightly on the side of Xia Wan's face, she lowered her eyes and carefully pulled a strand of long raven-colored hair in her hand, fixed it lightly and intricately with a crystal cherry blossom hairpin, and tied the light blue ribbon in the bun: "The remaining concubines and imperial concubines are the noble ranks that will be promoted in the future, like the current jade concubine in the palace, she is the beloved daughter of the minister, and she was directly canonized as the imperial concubine after passing the draft, and later with His Majesty's love for her, this was gradually promoted to the rank of the jade concubine." ”
