Chapter 21: The Picture of the Women
The matter of summer vacation in the palace has been put on the agenda, but it will take some time to prepare for it, and it is estimated that it will not be possible until the end of June or the beginning of July.
The weather was just right on this day, Fang Chuxia brought a basket, and said that there were a few early apricots next to Qingning Pavilion that were growing just right, and invited Mingyue to pick some together.
It just so happened that Xiao Chongyuan also asked for peace on this day, and the imperial doctor said that he could go out for a walk more, so as not to have difficulties during childbirth, and Erya persuaded Xiao Chongyuan with these words.
Xiao Chongyuan didn't want to disturb Mingyue and Fang Chuxia's small gathering, but she was distracted when she heard that it was an apricot.
So the side of Qingning Pavilion suddenly became lively. Gong E came and went, and five or six people gathered under the apricot tree.
Ziyu fanned Xiao Chongyuan, intentionally or unintentionally separated Erya by a position, and the latter was not annoyed, but just said: "Just go, Niang Niang herself should stay away from the apricots." ”
Not far away, Mingyue and Fang Chuxia were talking under the apricot tree.
Fang Chuxia glanced at Erya, then at Xiao Chongyuan, and then said, "I thought you were ......."
Mingyue shook her head: "Maybe it's no fate, don't blame Your Majesty for me." ”
Fang Chuxia sighed, he really wanted to fight and couldn't get ahead, but he was pushed onto the stage just because he was at ease, you sang and I appeared on the stage, how can this stage be good.
Gong E prepared refreshments for Xiao Chongyuan, who walked for about a cup of tea and sat by the window in the Qingning Pavilion to watch the two picking apricots outside.
Fang Chu Xia picked apricots in a disorderly manner, only picking which one grew bigger, and never looked at the apricots in the high places, resulting in the apricot tree next to her being disorganized. And Mingyue likes to raise her hand to lower the high branches, and then picked apricots and put them in the bamboo basket at her feet.
After picking half a basket, when Mingyue looked back, she saw Xiao Chongyuan looking at them through the window. Mingyue paused for a moment, and hurriedly looked down at Huang Xing in the basket, avoiding Xiao Chongyuan's gaze.
Busy outside, Xiao Chongyuan saw that Mingyue deliberately distanced herself, and she didn't know how to feel in her heart. Seeing Ziyu staring at it, he asked her to pick it too, but Ziyu looked at Erya not far away, but she didn't move.
Erya noticed it and glared at Ziyu: "If you don't go, I'll go." ”
But as soon as she stepped out of Qingning Pavilion, it suddenly rained heavily, and Fang Chuxia and Mingyue were stunned.
Bai Lu and Qinghao hurriedly escorted the two of them into the pavilion to avoid the rain, Mingyue and Fang Chuxia glanced at each other, and when they saw each other's hair slightly wet, they couldn't help but smile. Fang Chuxia said: "Erya, this is much more accurate than Qin Tian's prison. ”
Erya felt sorry for herself and didn't say anything.
Because both of them were wet with rain on their clothes, they were afraid that the moisture would give Xiao Chongyuan too much, so they sat on the other side of the door.
Fang Chuxia looked at the increasingly big rain curtain and said, "The weather is changeable in June, and the ancients are honest and don't deceive me. Suddenly, he changed his head: "Yue'er, does Mr. Ziwei have any poems about rain?" ”
Few people call Tian Xuanji Mr. Ziwei, Mingyue was a little puzzled, but still said: "Naturally, there is, isn't the phrase 'good rain knows the season' widely spread?" ”
Fang Chuxia said: "I have a sentence, please listen to it, it is called 'jumping beads all over the rivers, not people here'." ”
Mingyue gently nudged her and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Fang Chuxia smiled and got up and walked around the pavilion.
Mingyue held her chin and looked at the rain curtain in a daze, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, not to mention the bamboo basket that was too late to take just now, even the almond trees that were growing well outside were beaten to pieces in this rainstorm, I'm afraid, it's not a good sign.
Boom –
Mingyue's eyes flashed with white light, and then a muffled thunder came, which startled her, but it also scared away what she thought just now.
At this time, Fang Chuxia, who walked to the east side of Qingning Pavilion, suddenly said: "Yue'er, there is a chessboard here, come and talk to me about a game!" ”
These two are both stinky chess baskets, but they can still fight on par. Now that Fang has a call in early summer, Mingyue naturally has everything.
Er Yaqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all well-known, of course, you can see the details of these two masters, but they have dealings, and those who don't know think that they are chess opponents and will meet good talents, but they can't see it when they can rob them in this step.
Erya's face is very exciting.
Xiao Chongyuan dried the tea for Mingyue and the others, and asked Ziyu to serve it, and then he saw Erya's appearance. Xiao Chongyuan shook his head and smiled, I haven't seen her so vivid for a long time, Taikang Palace is about to polish Erya into another Xiao Wan'er.
Mingyue took the tea, and when she looked up, a gust of wind passed through the hall, blowing her sideburns, Xiao Chongyuan at the door looked at them with a smile, Erya who was standing was looking at the chessboard with clear eyes, and Fang Chuxia, who was sitting opposite, frowned and thought deeply, and was undecided.
Bai Lu, Qing Hao, Zi Yu, and the rest of the palace ladies are all in the Qingning Pavilion, and the rain outside is endless......
This rain came and went quickly, for fear that something would go wrong with Xiao Chongyuan, as soon as the rain stopped, everyone dispersed, and they went back to change their clothes and drink ginger soup.
A few days later, Concubine Ren Xian handed over the summer list, and there was really no Mingyue's name.
Although Mingyue is still lost, it is far better than a few days ago.
The night before leaving, the Son of Heaven actually drove to Changchun Palace again, at that time Xiao Chongyuan was still in Taikang Palace, and before he returned, Li Shu sat in Tingyu Pavilion.
This is the first time that Mingyue has seen the current son head-on, and from the mouths of Concubine Ren Xian and others, I know that Li Shu is an extremely cold-hearted and cold-hearted person, but it doesn't look like Xiao Chongyuan's behavior from this special place.
Mingyue greeted her according to the rules, and the Son of Heaven also called casually.
"What's your name?"
"Concubine Ming."
This was the first formal conversation between Mingyue and Li Shu, and then Li Shu never spoke again, and the two looked at each other without saying a word until Xiao Chongyuan came back.
When he saw Xiao Chongyuan, Li Shu obviously had a little more joy on his face, as if he had seen a close friend. Mingyue thought that it was a bit like when she saw Tian Xuanji when she was a child.
"Sister Wan!"
This is the opening of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Chongyuan was a little helpless: "The concubine doesn't dare to take it." ”
Mingyue stood under the corridor, watching Xiao Chongyuan and the Son of Heaven enter the palace, Ziyu seemed to feel something, and turned her head to look at her.
In the early morning of the second day, the queen led the concubine to see her off, and it was this meeting, and the Empress Dowager Jiang did not appear, she wished that the Son of Heaven would leave the middle capital, so as not to ask the courtiers to play every day.
Jiang Yu is another rhetoric created by rules, what "gentlemen do not stand under the dangerous wall", what "pro-virtuous people are far from villains". It's like teaching a child who has just entered the order, and Li Shu is a little impatient to hear it.
"Your Majesty, if there is a hurry......
"Alright." Li Shu waved his hand: "Don't bother, the mother concubine is in charge with you, I am very relieved." ”
Seeing that Li Shu had already gone to the car, Jiang Yu had no choice but to look at Concubine Ren Xian, who was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Don't worry." ”
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The car drove off, this time Zhou Lingling and Fang Chuxia both went, and it is estimated that they will not see each other until autumn.
