In the afternoon, Li Chun still came to Yiqiu Palace, which was Nianyun's nap time.

It wasn't that he didn't know that Nian Yun had this habit, but he still walked gently into the dormitory. Fennel was playing a fan beside Nianyun, and when she saw him, she turned her face to the side angrily.

Li Chun's face was a little sneering, but he still sat down on the edge of the table and poured himself a glass of water.

Take a sip, the water is cold, but Fennel is clearly not going to change him to a hot pot as usual.

He had no choice but to put the cup down.

The Jun kiln porcelain cup gently knocked on the rosewood tabletop, making a slight sound, and Nianyun turned his head on the napping couch.

In fact, she pretended to be in her heart, and she couldn't sleep, so she woke up immediately after a slight movement. When I saw Li Chun, I was a little surprised, but I was at a loss, and I was stunned all of a sudden.

Li Chun saw that she was awake, so he leaned over and sat on the edge of the couch, brushing the hair on her face with his hand: "Nianyun, are you awake?" ”

is still so gentle, her heart is sour, and she almost cries for a while.

"Nianyun, listen to my explanation......"

What to explain? It is nothing more than to say that he was tempted by a dancing girl, made the mistakes that all men make, did things that should not be done, and released the doves of the lady of the main room.

Rather than listening to such explanations, it is better to simply not say anything.

She suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, "Chun, there is no need to explain. Are you here to ask me to give that Lanzhu girl a name or a different place to live?" ”

Li Chun seemed to have a lot to say, looking at her lowered eyes, but she didn't say anything after all, only said: "There is no need for a name, just like a lilac, Yueyin will give her a few hangings on my private account." But the house should be cleaned up as soon as possible, and it is always not good to live in the house of the people over there. ”

The harem of the East Palace is said to be small but not small, but it is not big to say big. In addition to the Cheng'en Palace in the middle, where the prince lived, Wang Liangdi lived in the Cheng'en Hall with a few seniors but not very favored, Niu Zhaoxun and the rest of the younger concubines lived in the Yichun Palace on the east side, and the Eight Winds Hall in the northeast corner also lived a few.

These courtyards in the west, the pavilion courtyard near the northwest Buddhist hall is the nurse with a few young emperors and grandsons to live, except for the West Pond Courtyard because of a few accidents, has always been uninhabited and almost deserted, and only Yiqiu Palace remains.

Hui Niang and Ding Xiang lived in just a courtyard outside Yiqiu Palace, the courtyard was not very wide, and the two masters were already crowded, and it was difficult to add people to it. From this point of view, if you want to arrange a place for Mao Lanzhu, it will take a day or two to clean up and live in, and you can only live in the side hall of Yiqiu Palace.

Previously, Li Chun already had two Hui Niang and Ding Xiang, and gave birth to children, but after all, it was before he knew her. Now that there is another one, Nianyun only feels panicked in his heart, as if he is blocked by a big stone in his chest, and his breath is tight.

But he couldn't break the image of being virtuous and thrifty that he had worked so hard to maintain, so he had to order Chonglou to arrange it.

Although Nian Yun doesn't go to the palace, it is just a wall apart, and he often orders people to clean it. After half a day, he packed up, changed into a new bedding, and picked two maids who had been sprinkling and sweeping outside to serve them.

The Mao Lanzhu was also neat, and he came to report in less than an hour.

Entering the main hall, bowing his head and bowing, about someone has taught the number of etiquette, although the gesture can not be said to be ten out of ten standards, but can not find anything wrong.

Nian Yun looked her up and down, and sure enough, it was an orchid, with a large skeleton, bright green eyes like that of a Persian cat, and although her hair was like a Central Plains man, it was brown, and the ends of her hair were slightly curled.

Wearing a lake blue skirt, but decorated with a lot of mica pieces and beads, shiny, and two layers of tulle were added to the outside, which was a little weird, and I don't know what Li Chun likes about her.

Nian Yun was a little surprised to see that she only brought a small baggage: "No cage luggage?" ”

Mao Lanzhu replied crisply: "Mrs. Huijun, Lanzhu's things are too shabby, and they are not worthy of the carved beams and paintings of this Yiqiu Palace, so I simply don't want it." ”

This was said well, Nian Yun couldn't answer, so he had to order Chonglou to fetch some of the utensils for daily use to her, and rewarded her with a few pieces of fabric, and asked Si Yi to make clothes.

Nianyun didn't plan to block herself, so she casually exchanged a few words of greeting and told her to go back and rest.

After a while, the sound of the ding-dong piano sounded in the side hall, and the sound of the piano was beautiful, like the general minor tune on the Qinhuai River.

In the evening, the little eunuch who lit the lamp came, carrying the six pairs of red palace lanterns, meticulously lit them, and still hung them under the eaves of Nianyun. Nian Yun saw it in the house, and scolded through the window: "Slave who doesn't have long eyes, I don't know if the lantern is in the wrong place!" ”

The little father-in-law who lit the lamp was startled, looked up, and saw that there were twelve hooks under the eaves, and it was naturally right to hang six pairs of lanterns, how could it be called hanging in the wrong place? He has been lighting the lamp in the East Palace for several years, and this little thing is still not wrong.

So the little duke finished hanging the twelve lanterns seriously, bowed down to the house and replied: "If you go back to the county lady, the slave has hung it seriously and has never made a mistake. ”

Nianyun chirped in the house: "Your county king has now accepted a new concubine, and the lantern should be hung in the matching hall, what are you going to hang in my house!" ”

The little father-in-law said outside the door: "The slave doesn't dare, it was the prince of the county who told the slave himself, come to Madame to rest tonight, and ask the servant to bring a message to Madame, and come to Madame for dinner." ”

Nian Yun continued to mutter: "It's not enough to force someone in, you have to come to eat and drink!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw the curtain move, a fiery red robe flashed, and Li Chun picked up the curtain and entered.

Nian Yun groomed, Li Chun leaned into her ear, spit out a hot breath behind her ear ambiguously, and laughed in a low voice: "Madame...... Jealous? ”

Nianyun's face turned red, and he turned around: "Who is jealous!" ”

At this time, the maid came up with dinner, and the two sat down at the table, and Nianyun sandwiched a piece of chicken ribs, which clicked and clicked, as if it was Li Chun's bones.

After gnawing, he took a deep breath and said: "There are indeed fewer people serving around you in the past few years, if you like it, I will find a few good ones for you, and make a return gift and carry an aunt." ”

Li Chun raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "That...... So let me guess why you're angry? Otherwise, you dislike the person I picked? ”

It's not just bad, it's terrible. A mixed-race bastard orchid who was sold to a lowly status, and his appearance is not more than Erer. I really don't know what Li Chun likes about them, as for the urgency to this point?

Li Chun held her hand to pick up vegetables, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Look at your face full of disgust!" I know, in your eyes, there is no good woman in the world that you think can be worthy of me. ”

If you really want to pick one or two more concubines for him, hundreds of maids up and down in the East Palace, and even the slightly outstanding maids she knows in Princess Shengping's mansion have also gone through her mind, and she really didn't come up with a suitable person.

was broken by his words, and she was stunned for a while and didn't know what to say.

Li Chun picked up some dishes for her, and after a while, she suddenly burst out of a sentence: "Don't worry-"

Nianyun waited for a long time, but he still didn't say anything in the end, so he had to bow his head and continue to eat silently.

After eating, Li Chun said: "I'll go to the matching hall to have a look, and I'll be back later." ”

Nian Yun hesitated a little, as if he didn't hear clearly, and asked again: "Are you coming back?" ”

Li Chun paused, "How can I sleep peacefully outside." ”

And he went out of the main hall, and went round a verandah of the hand-copying verandah, and went into the hall. The layout of the side hall is in accordance with the main hall, but the regulations are slightly reduced, and the place is much narrower.

Mao Lanzhu didn't like the silence in the house, so she hung several very long-winded wind chimes on the roof, about a large string of shells, glass, and small copper bells, and the slightest wind movement would tinkle and ding.

There was also incense in the house, which seemed to be benzoin, and the smell was strong. Li Chun was accustomed to the faint aroma of flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits in Nianyun House, and frowned slightly when he smelled such a strong fragrance at first glance.

Mao Lanzhu spun out of the house, wearing only a water-red belly pocket and an apricot-yellow pomegranate skirt, draped in a long colorful exercise, two bare arms, and ten nails painted with red and bright Kodan.

Li Chun was dizzy by her, and rubbed his temples, "You said you know the origin of the Du Liu clan, and now I should give you everything, you say it and listen to me." ”

Mao Lanzhu's dance finally stopped, took a three-color tea bowl on the table, and poured a bowl with Li Chun in the matching three-color teapot: "Husband, drink a cup." ”

Li Chun took it in her hand, but she smelled the smell of wine, and knew that she was holding a teapot with spirits, so she put it down: "I will go to court tomorrow." ”

Mao Lanzhu obviously didn't understand, but leaned over, put his body on it, and brought the bowl to his mouth: "Tomorrow will go to the court, why not drink a few cups tonight!" ”

Li Chun pushed her hand away and took a step back: "Don't play tricks with me, if you let me know that you are lying to me, don't blame me for turning my face!" ”

Mao Lanzhu rolled her eyes and pouted, "Du Liu's clan!" Who knows who is the Du Liu clan, is it also the woman of the county king? ”

Li Chun was angry, took a step forward, and wanted to grab her collar, but she really had no clothes to pull, so she had to pinch her chin: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't say it well, everything in this house, how can the king of this county give it to you, how can you take it back, so that you can't even stay in the song and dance workshop, go to the west of the city and ask the flowers to sleep in the thatched hut!" ”

When Mao Lanzhu heard that she was going to drive her away, she was a little scared, "Lanzhu...... I really don't know! The sisters of the song and dance workshop know about Lanzhu...... Lan Zhu has admired the king of the county for a long time, before the back of the rockery in the north garden of Yichun, I don't know who threw a paper ball to me, teach me when to go to the open space in front of the inner square to rehearse the dance, and then saw the king of the county and said that he knew Du Liu's family, so he would be able to achieve what he wanted, and Lan Zhu ...... And I did it......"

Li Chun only felt a large flock of crows flying overhead. It's just that he was anxious to find out the truth for a while, and he dared to be put on the spot again!

"What you said is true, but do you see what the person who threw the paper ball looks like?"

Mao Lanzhu thought about it seriously, "I saw it, wearing ochre-colored clothes and covering my face." ”

To say this is to say nothing. The most common eunuch uniform in the East Palace is ochre-colored, and if you want to mix in and do something, you naturally have to get a set of such clothes. There are also hundreds of eunuchs up and down the East Palace, and each person can get two or three sets of such clothes every year.

Li Chun turned around and was about to go back to the main hall, but Mao Lanzhu asked behind his back: "Lanzhu...... Can you still live here? ”

Li Chun was helpless, "You stay, don't make too much noise to disturb Mrs. ”
