Yun Huang was waiting for He Baoqi outside the Spirit Dance Hall. Seeing her come out, he stepped forward and took her hand.

Her hand was a little cold, and he held it in his palm and stroked it, covering her slightly cool hand with warmth.

The two of them left the palace and sat in the carriage He Baoqi looked sideways at the carriage, "Lord Wang, aren't we going back to the palace?" ”

Yun Huang had a light smile on his face, "When is the princess forgetting today?" ”

He Baoqi was slightly stunned, a little unclear, "Yes...... When? ”

"The princess has forgotten her birthday."

Birthday......

He Baoqi suddenly realized that today was her own birthday.

But she forgot completely.

She had always remembered her birthday, but then she ......

After marrying Yunhuang, she was still interested in spending her birthday with him in the first year. But at that time, Yunhuang had a cold attitude towards her, and her birthday had not passed, and later, she knew that he had no intention, so she slowly lost interest, and after a long time, she forgot about it.

But he didn't expect that this year, she forgot, but he remembered.

The carriage drove to Yanhelou and stopped, and Yunhuang and He Baoqi walked inside. The shopkeeper came out to greet him and prepared a good private room for the two.

The table is full of Hebaoqi's favorite food.

He Baoqi looked at it with mixed emotions, "These are all concubines who love to eat, Lord Wang...... How do you know. "She never talked to him.

Yun Huang took a chopstick meal in front of her, "I didn't know before, but this king only knew after asking the girl next to you, and what the princess loves in the future, this king will remember them one by one." ”

He Baoqi choked in her throat, and his words moved her.

After dinner, Yunhuang took her to the river and watched the brilliant fireworks set off in the sky.

"Does the princess like it?" Yun Huang turned his head to look at the people around him.

He Baoqi's eyes were like starlight, "The concubine likes it, and Lord Lao has bothered to prepare these for the concubine." She said.

Yun Huang looked at her fixedly, and after a long time, his hands fell lightly on her shoulders, "What I owe you, this king will make up for it one by one in the future." ”

When the two returned to the palace, it was already early.

Yunhuang stayed in He Baoqi's room and stayed with her for a long time. As the night deepened, He Baoqi's eyes flashed with emotion.

These days, he is with her.

Yun Huang blinked his eyes and saw her expression, "Sleepy? If you are sleepy, go to sleep. He took her little hand and walked inside.

"Lord Wang, do you want to stay tonight?" She couldn't help but speak.

Yun Huang rolled his eyes and saw the emotion in her eyes, "What does the princess want to say." ”

"The prince hasn't been to see Mrs. Lin for a long time, or ...... Let's go over tonight. ”

These days, he has been with her and has hardly been to Lin Zhao'er's side.

"The princess is trying to push this king elsewhere? In the past, the princess wanted the king to stay, but now that the king has stayed, the princess has changed. He spoke in a deep voice.

He Baoqi lowered his eyes.

It's not that she's changed, it's just ......

Although Yunhuang is good to her now, she ...... She always has some unreal feelings, how good he is, how much affection, and how much guilt.

She was afraid that after she got used to his kindness to her, she would not be able to take it back.

If after a long time, she can't control her heart, if he is no longer like now, she will be in trouble.

She didn't want to be filled with jealousy anymore.

"Does the princess really want this king to go elsewhere?" Yun Huang asked.

He Baoqi was silent for a moment. Then he spoke slowly, "There are not only concubines in the palace, but also Lin Niangzi, the prince ......."

"The princess doesn't want to say these twisted words to this king, this king only asks the princess for an answer, does the princess really want this king to go elsewhere?"

He Baoqi raised his eyes, and his eyes were oppressive to Shangyun Huang, and he was speechless for a while.

"The king wants an answer from the princess."

He Baoqi was upset, and he couldn't resist Yunhuang like this.

She instinctively shook her head, "No...... It's just that. ”

"Since the princess doesn't want to, she doesn't need to say these words against her will, and this king will stay with the princess tonight."

When the words fell, He Baoqi's lips were cold.

She had a pair of beautiful eyes.

The atmosphere in the room changed dramatically.

The two hugged and kissed each other. When he was about to fall on the soft couch, Yunhuang protected the back of He Baoqi's head with his right hand.

After a kiss, both of them breathed heavily.

Yun Huang's eyes were slightly clouded, and a trace of scruple flashed in his eyes.

He Baoqi caught his scruples, the courage that came from nowhere, and stretched out his hands.

Yun Huang frowned and looked at her, "Princess." ”

She couldn't help it anymore, so she took the initiative to step forward and kiss him lightly.

Outside, the full moon hung high in the sky, and after a while, he hid behind the clouds.

The room was quiet, and He Baoqi nested in Yunhuang's arms, she was very tired, but her heart was filled with many emotions, and it was difficult to sleep.

This time, the intimacy between the two is more intimate than any previous time, and Yunhuang is even more gentle to her than she has ever been.

The words he whispered in her ear were especially clear.

He Baoqi raised her head slowly, the man's resolute jaw crashed into her eyes, the gentleness and warmth of the two of them was what she had been looking forward to since the day she married him, she thought that she would not get it in this life.

He Baoqi's eyes were squinting, looking at the sleeping Yunhuang, and her little hand couldn't help but raise and caress the man's handsome face.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Yun Huang's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes and looked at the people around him.

He Baoqi timidly wanted to retract his hand, but was held by Yun Huang, and his eyes looked at her with a hint of worry, "Is it because you are not feeling well?" ”

She is in good health, and she is in love, and he forgets to take care of it for a while.

He Baoqi clearly saw the nervousness in Yun Huang's eyes, "Lord Wang, the concubine is fine." ”

"It's just a little like a dream." She whispered.

Yun Huang's eyebrows moved slightly, "Huh? ”

"Lord Wang, this is not a dream, is it?" She couldn't help but say.

This feeling was so unreal that she couldn't help but worry and fear, that fear was just a dream for her, and when she woke up, everything was back to the way it was.

Yun Huang understood her worries and clenched her hand, "It's not a dream, this king said that what I owed you in the past will be repaid in the future, and in the future, you and Ze'er will be the most important people in this king." ”

He Baoqi closed his eyes and listened, his heart rippling, and a satisfied smile on his face.

————

"Xiao Wu, these are all counted." Nanfu closes the ledger.

Jiang Wu's little hand supported his cheeks, and his beautiful eyes were full of worry, "It turns out that I didn't know that there was so much silver used among the harem concubines. ”

Nanfu bowed, "Yes, in fact, our emperor's harem is already less than ten people, like the previous emperors, they are dozens or even hundreds of people, I heard that there are some monarchs, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, if it is really three thousand, it should be a huge amount of silver." ”

"But Xiao Wu, these counted silver coins could have been handed over to the Internal Affairs Office, and they don't have to be in your hands."

Jiang Wu's cheeks bulged, "Well, but this is what the queen mother specially advised, and said that I should think of a way to try my best to save some expenses for the harem, especially in the area of the concubine." ”

"Xiao Wu, it's not easy."

Jiang Wu nodded lightly, "Yes, it's not easy, if it's a palace person, the harem concubines, if they really save money money, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied." ”

"Then if you don't talk to the emperor, the emperor only needs to speak, and we don't have to worry so much." Nanfu said.

Jiang Wu shook his head, "I heard that there was a rush in the previous dynasty, and the emperor has been busy for the past two days, so he can't worry about these things anymore." ”

"Yes...... So what to do? Nanff couldn't come up with an idea.

Jiang Wu's smart eyes rolled, and suddenly, thinking of something, she stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall. Nanfu hurriedly followed.

"Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

"Xiao Nan, you don't have to follow me, I'll go by myself."

"But ......"

"It's okay, you can go back."

Jiang Wu insisted, and Nanfu didn't want to say anything more.

After Jiang Wu left the Spirit Dance Palace, he went directly to the Hui Courtyard.

"Concubine, Mrs. Jiang is here." The voice of the palace maid.

"Mrs. Jiang? Which Mrs. Jiang? ”

"It's the same Mrs. Jiang who came to the emperor before." The palace maid responded.

"That girl, what is she going to do," the princess slowly put down the tea bowl in her hand, "let her in." ”12

Jiang Wu waited at the entrance of the hall, and only walked in after the palace maid came out and told her that she could go in.

"See the concubine."

"It's fresh, except for the emperor's occasional visit to me, in this palace, there are still people who will come to mourn the family's courtyard." The princess leaned on the cushion, and her eyes never raised to look at Jiang Wu.

"Get up."

Jiang Wu got up at this time.

"Say, you came to the mourning family, what's the matter?" The princess asked.

"The concubine has something she wants to ask the concubine." Jiang Wu said bluntly.

The concubine raised her eyes leisurely and looked at Jiang Wu, "Do you have something to ask the mourning family?" The mourning family has been in this Huiyuan for so many years, and has never stepped out of the Huiyuan, what is this outside, the mourning family is afraid that they have forgotten, you still have something to ask the mourning family? It's fresh enough. ”

"The ...... of the Princess"

Jiang Wu was about to say something more, but the princess suddenly got up and walked straight out of the house. Jiang Wu was slightly flustered, and quickly reacted and walked out.

"There has been little rain in the past two days, and my little cabbage will wither. It's pathetic. The concubine paused beside the vegetable patch, holding the small cabbage that came out of her head in both hands, with a distressed face.

"Don't worry, concubine, although it hasn't rained, we water it often, and the little cabbage will be fine." The palace maid said.

"Hey, it's going to be fine, but look at these little cabbages of mine, they are like frosted eggplants recently, and they are not a little angry, and the cabbage that grows at this time will not be delicious."

The palace maid chuckled, "Let's give it some fertilizer." ”

The princess rolled her eyes, and then whispered a few words in the palace maid's ear.

Jiang Wu looked at the concubine suspiciously, only to see the palace maid get up and leave. After a while, the palace maid brought a wooden bucket.

The princess stood up and walked in front of Jiang Wu, "My little cabbage here lacks nourishment, you can help me give them some fat." ”

"Concubine, it's better for slaves to do this." Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly said.

"The mourning family wants her to come." The princess said.

"If you don't want to, the mourning family won't force you." The princess looked at Jiang Wu and said.

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes, showed her face for a moment, she walked straight to the palace maid, and took the wooden barrel, "Don't worry, the concubine will give you a good indoctrination." As she spoke, she squatted down, leaned over, and began to recuperate.

The princess raised her eyebrows.

"The mourners were a little tired, and they stared at it for a while."

The princess yawned and entered the house.

Jiang Wu squatted and fed the little cabbage in the field little by little.

She'd done this before.

When she was in the palace of Nanjiang Wang, she and her mother were confined in the palace, and once she got a little rapeseed seed from a kind mother. She planted it in the open space in front of the palace, thinking that if she could grow some vegetables, she and her mother would look less at the faces of the palace stewards.

But then, the rapeseed seeds didn't grow the many edible vegetables.

The rapeseed had just sprouted, and one day Jiang Qiao came and had an argument with her, Jiang Qiao saw the sprouted rapeseed, stepped on it angrily, and trampled all the vegetables.

She was angry for days.

"You guys are really good-looking, there is little rain these days, but it can be seen that the concubine takes good care of you on weekdays, so you have to grow well." Jiang Wu muttered to himself while instilling.

Inside the house, the princess held her forehead, her eyes were slightly closed and she was resting, and the palace maid next to her was standing and shaking her fan.

She slowly opened her eyes, "She's still outside?" ”

"Back to the concubine, yes, Mrs. Jiang is very serious about nurturing it."

The princess's eyes moved slightly, stood up, and walked to the door.

On the edge of the small vegetable field outside, Jiang Wu was carefully cultivating, her mouth moving, and she could hear her chattering.

"What is she doing, who is she talking to?" The princess asked.

The palace maid chuckled, "Mrs. Jiang is talking to herself and the little cabbage, she has been talking like this for a long time." It's as if those little cabbages can understand. ”

The princess frowned slightly, and then walked over.

"You think you talk to them and they understand?"

A voice suddenly sounded above her head, Jiang Wu subconsciously raised her head, and saw that it was the princess who stood up, "Everything has spirituality, and when the concubines feed them, they can also relax when they talk to them." ”

The princess frowned, looking at Jiang Wu as if she was a little fool.

"How's the upbringing?"

"It's all well fed." Jiang Wu said.

The princess looked around, and although the emotions on her face did not obviously show that she was satisfied, she was not always tense.

"Concubine, concubine......" Jiang Wu saw that Concubine Wang's face improved, and she wanted to open her mouth.

However, when she was about to speak, the princess interrupted her.

"Do you know how to work as a female worker?"

Jiang Wu was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Well, there will be some." ”

The princess looked away and walked straight into the house. Jiang Wu was puzzled, but still followed.

I saw that the princess took out a scarf that had been embroidered a little, "In the past, when the emperor was alive, he liked the embroidery of the mourning family the most. ”

"Hey, it's a pity ......"

Jiang Wu watched intently. "I'm old, these eyes, it's not good, even this simple mandarin duck playing in the water embroidered for so many days to embroider such a little."

After the princess finished speaking, she turned her head, "Since you know how to work as a woman, you can help the mourning family finish embroidering the rest." ”

Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and looked at it, then took it, "Okay." ”

"You have to embroider seriously, the requirements of the mourning family are not low, if you embroider badly, the mourning family will punish you heavily." The princess said.

Jiang Wu bowed, "The concubine understands." ”

"Okay, I've been tossing with you for so long, I'm tired of mourning, you can go back."

Jiang Wu bowed, bowed and left the Hui Courtyard.

After returning to the Spirit Dance Palace, Jiang Wu looked at the princess's square handkerchief and thought about how to embroider it.

"Xiao Wu, where did this come from?" Nanfu asked curiously.

Jiang Wu was silent, and after thinking for a while, he took the needle and thread and began to embroider.

In the evening, Yun Rongjue came to the Spirit Dance Hall and learned that Jiang Wu had gone to Huiyuan during the day.

He looked at the towel in Jiang Wu's hand, "The concubine is embarrassed for you." ”

Jiang Wu smiled and shook his head, "It's not embarrassing, Xiao Wu is just doing the concubine a little favor." ”

Yun Rongjue sighed lightly and said softly: "The concubine has been in the Hui Courtyard for so many years, she has never been out of the Hui Courtyard, and few people go to see her on weekdays. ”

Jiang Wu nodded with a smile, "Xiao Wu knows." ”

"If there is anyone who needs my help, my sister will tell me that it is, and I will talk to the concubine."

Jiang Wu bowed his head.

Jiang Wu pondered the embroidery for a long time, and Yun Rongjue looked at the scroll and accompanied her until late at night.

Early the next morning, Yun Rongjue went to the morning court.

Jiang Wu was still studying the embroidery pattern, and suddenly, she remembered something and called Nanfu.

"How's Yuming? She's been in service for almost as long as she wants. She asked.

Yuming was sent to serve hard labor on her side.

"Well, it should be more than ten days before I can come out."

A touch of complexity appeared between Jiang Wu's eyebrows, "Wait for her to come out of service, and let her change places on an errand." She said.

Nanfu was surprised, "Why?" Why do you suddenly want to change the jade tea? ”

Jiang Wufan's lips narrowed slightly, "She is a little reckless, although this incident was an accident, but the reason why she was punished by Mrs. Zhang was mostly because of me, if she hadn't followed me, Mrs. Zhang might not have punished her so heavily that day." ”

"Xiao Wu, it's none of your business, you don't have to blame yourself, but...... It's not necessarily bad for Yuming to go to other places on an errand, she has been here for so many days, and I have taught her a lot, I think she will not be as reckless as before. ”

Jiang Wu bowed his head lightly, bowed his head and continued to do embroidery.

……

Yun Rongjue left the Xuanshu Hall and walked through the small garden when he suddenly heard one sobbing sound after another.

He looked at the sound, and saw a man squatting with his back to the big tree not far away, and the cry came from this side. "Who's there?" He spoke up.

"Bold, who is there, dare to disturb the holy car!" Chai Neiguan scolded.

The squatting person turned around, panicked when he saw Yun Rongjue, and hurriedly knelt down, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid should die, disturbing the holy drive, the slave and maid are not intentional, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sin." ”

"What are you crying about here?" Yun Rongjue asked.

The kneeling man was silent for a moment, and the official hurriedly scolded, "The emperor asked you, why are you crying here!" ”

"Back to the emperor, slave maid...... The slave did something wrong and was beaten by the grandmothers, so she ...... That's why I couldn't help crying, the slave didn't mean to disturb the holy driver. ”

"You should be scolded and punished for doing something wrong, pay attention to yourself, and you won't be scolded and punished," Yun Rongjue said lightly, "You get up." ”

The palace maid stood up and raised her head, "Slave and maid thank the emperor." ”

The moment Yun Rongjue turned his eyes to look at it, his eyes were slightly stunned.
