"Hui Niangniang, it seems that those ministers are more inclined to stand up for ......" Dexuan finished softly, looking at her expression carefully, Ouyang Zhen shook his hand and broke off a branch of white plum.

"It's a pity......" Ouyang Zhen muttered.

"What's the pity?" Dexuan wondered.

Ouyang Zhen gently threw the white plum in his hand on the ground, and said casually: "It's a pity that the edge is too exposed, just like this white plum, it is not hidden in the tree, but it stretches out of the branches, and it is easy to be picked." The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If the wood is a good tree, it will be counted, but if it is not mature, it will fall down when it is blown. ”

She said that, and walked slowly towards the depths of Merlin, and a little white plum fell on her, like snow, full of desire.

Dexuan's heart moved slightly, and after thinking about it, he already understood what she meant, and hurriedly followed.

……

A day or two later, Mrs. Liu Guo came to visit, Ouyang Zhen heard the report from the palace people, and said with a smile: "Okay, go and welcome it, go to the outer hall to serve tea first, and wait for the palace to go over." After that, he straightened his clothes and makeup, and then helped Wan Hui over.

Only when I entered the main hall of the outer hall, I saw that Mrs. Liu Guo was wearing a snow silver embroidered lily palace dress of the same color with dark patterns, with a plum bun on her head, and a few home-style beads and hairpins on her hairpin, which seemed to be a few years younger.

The face is lightly puffed with fat powder, and the beauty and charm of the face are set off more and more.

Ouyang Zhen greeted him, and said respectfully: "Concubine Ouyang meets Mrs. Liuguo!" Mrs. Liu Guo stepped forward with a smile and said, "Sister Ouyang is really polite, what are you doing with these false courtesies?" Get up quickly. ”

Ouyang Zhen got up at this time, looked at Mrs. Liuguo's makeup and praised: "Mrs. Liuguo is incomparable, and the concubines are as elegant and moving as the white plums in the garden. ”

Mrs. Liu Guo held her palms and smiled: "Sister Ouyang will laugh, this palace is old, where can Sister Ouyang be in full bloom." As he spoke, he glanced her up and down, and there was a hint of jealousy in the crescent moon's eyes.

When Ouyang Zhen saw it, he quietly opened his eyes, and ordered the palace people to serve refreshments and tea.

"Mrs. Liu Guo came to the concubine's 'Yunxiang Palace', and the concubine really felt a lot of brilliance on her face." Ouyang Zhen personally held a fragrant tea and presented it to Mrs. Liu Guo.

Mrs. Liu Guo took it, looked around the hall, and then said with a smile: "This palace is a lazy person, and he has been urging the eldest prince to study in his palace every day, where is he free, this is not stuffy in the palace for a few days, so he thought about walking around to see, and suddenly remembered that Sister Ouyang was about to bloom here, so he came to appreciate the plum blossoms with a thick old face." ”

Ouyang Zhen smiled slightly: "It's really time for Mrs. Liuguo to come, this white plum is the most blooming in the past few days, originally the concubine wanted to hide, and she asked all the little maids below to pick up the plum blossom ointment, and then put it on Mrs. Liuguo's face. ”

Saying that, she asked the palace maid to move all the tea cups and snacks to the pavilion in the courtyard, and ordered the waiter to lower the curtain outside the pavilion, and she personally helped Mrs. Liu Guo to move to the garden.

Mrs. Liu Guo said with a smile as she walked: "Speaking of this plum blossom, this palace listens to what those envoys of the Qin State are talking about, 'Mrs. Plum Blossom', this palace thinks, in addition to this lady in this palace, but what other lady is not successful, and later I learned that Ouyang's sister is more beautiful than green plum, cold and beautiful, but it is really a 'plum blossom lady' who lives up to her name." ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Ouyang Zhen with a smile as if intentionally or unintentionally.

Ouyang Zhen's face became more and more respectful, and he only said: "That's the Qin State's distinguished guest who praised it." Mrs. Liuguo, don't torture the concubines. Mrs. Liu Guo smiled slightly when she heard this, and said no more.

Walking to the pavilion and sitting down, she looked at the plum scenery in the courtyard, and suddenly sighed: "Year after year, I can't imagine that this palace is so old." ”

Ouyang Zhen blinked his beautiful eyes, as if he didn't believe it: "Mrs. Liu Guo is joking?" ”

Mrs. Liu Guo shook her hand and said sincerely: "To be honest, the sister of this palace is very envious of you." You can always accompany the emperor, this is something that many people in the harem can't look forward to. When the palace was in the Hou Mansion that day, he said that the emperor treats his sister differently. ”

Ouyang Zhen lowered his head, thought about it, and asked Wan Hui to lead the palace maid to retreat, and personally presented a piece of plum blossom sweet paste in front of Mrs. Liu Guo.

She said in a low voice: "Sister Liu is very good to me, if it weren't for Sister Liu's past sunshine, my sister would be sad in the house." As he spoke, he took out a pearl bracelet from his bosom, and strangely there were two huge pink pearls on it, and there was a jade Buddha statue on the bracelet.

Her beautiful eyes seemed to be full of tears, and she said to Mrs. Liu Guo: "These beads were given to my sister by Sister Liu in the Hou Mansion back then, and my sister thought about it or made a string of Buddhist beads, and took it with her every day, thanking Sister Liu for her kindness, and praying for Sister Liu's longevity." When she said this, her beautiful face was grateful, like weeping and deep friendship.

Mrs. Liu Guo was moved when she heard this, shook her hand and sighed, "Good sister! No, my sister is coming to you today. As he spoke, there were faint tears in his eyes.

Ouyang Zhen sneered in his heart, but his face became more and more expression, and he shook her hand and said, "What's wrong with Sister Liu?" Could it be that someone dares to give his sister a grievance? ”

"In this Chu Palace, who can give this palace a grievance? It's just that the emperor's kindness is too thin, so I just sighed a few words. She sighed.

Ouyang Zhen comforted her and said: "Sister Liu's words are serious, my sister sees that the emperor is very good to my sister, and I stayed at my sister's place for several days in January. ”

"You also know that he just stayed in my palace, in fact, I know in my heart that over the years, not only has he changed, but I have also changed...... I want to ...... back then," she smiled bitterly, as if she had no one to talk to.

She looked back at the scenery of a garden, her eyebrows and eyes seemed to remember something, and then she said slowly: "I am the daughter of the Liu family, the richest man in Chujing, although I was born in a merchant family, I am careful to have great ambitions, thinking, what about the daughter of a merchant?" Is it inferior? I, Liu Ruyu, will definitely marry a good man who stands up to the sky. Although my father didn't know a few big words, he also hired a famous teacher for me to guide him, and his family was wealthy, and he didn't care about the money. ”

Affluence? Ouyang Zhen sighed in his heart, if he said that he was rich, it would really humiliate their Liu family, if he wanted to describe it, it should be called a rich country. I really can't find any other words other than these four words.

Mrs. Liu Guo paused, as if caught in the memory: "I am also hardworking, I have learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting very well, just waiting for my father to find a good husband for me." Sure enough, my father found a lot of young talents who were full of Chujing after I passed the line, but I still couldn't look at it, and my sister didn't laugh at me. At that time, I was proud, as if the world could match me Liu Ruyu must not be such an ordinary man. ”
