"Niangniang, Gonggong Li, who is next to the emperor, just came over and said that he was going to have lunch in our palace at noon."

Concubine Rou put down the female red in her hand, and her face was delighted: "Really? Then let the small kitchen prepare the emperor's favorite dishes. By the way, prepare some sour plum soup. ”

After speaking, Concubine Rou ran to the mirror and looked at her clothes and bun: "Xiangqiao, do you say that this palace should change clothes, and is this hairpin a little plain?"

Xiangqiao praised Concubine Rou according to her meaning: "Niangniang looks good in everything, these are all rewarded by the emperor to Niangniang, and Niangniang naturally likes it when she wears it."

Concubine Rou was coaxed by Xiangqiao to laugh, and she nodded Xiangqiao's forehead: "You can speak."

The emperor hadn't come to her for half a month, and she was so happy just now. The fact that the emperor can come over for dinner shows that the emperor has not forgotten her, and he still has her in his heart. She was afraid that the emperor would forget her if he had a newcomer, and the days when the emperor summoned her to dance in the Palace of Raising Hearts became less and less.

She is not young anymore, she can't always dance to make the emperor happy, while the emperor is still willing to come to her palace, she has to catch the emperor's heart and let him put her in his heart.

When a woman sees her beloved man, she always wants to show the best side to each other, and Concubine Rou is also a woman who is silent in love. She was wearing a pink gold thread gauze skirt, and she was wearing a flying saucer beaded on her head, and the emperor said that she looked good in pink.

When Shen Xuanxin came, he saw Concubine Rou standing in the main hall in a pink dress, and his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously. Concubine Rou used to wear pink when she first entered the palace, but after so many years, she wore pink again, which made him feel awkward. She's not a teenage girl anymore, and it's too tacky to wear pink.

"Say hello to the emperor."

Shen Xuanxin stretched out his hand to help Concubine Rou up, and then he sat down on the soft couch: "Concubine Ai looks a lot thinner, but she is not feeling well?"

Concubine Rou sat opposite Shen Xuanxin, she pinched the handkerchief and covered her mouth and coughed: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the concubine, it's just that the headache is committed again."

Shen Xuanxin took a sip of the tea on the table and left a mouth full of the fragrance of Biluochun, he turned the teacup and held Concubine Rou's hand: "Even if it's uncomfortable, let the imperial doctor take a good look, let's go and eat."

Shen Xuanxin took Concubine Rou's hand and came to the table to sit, and the dishes on the table were all his favorite foods. Concubine Rou picked up the chopsticks and wanted to give him the vegetables in person, but Shen Xuanxin refused: "Let Li Dezhong come."

Concubine Rou was a little embarrassed for a while, she smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Shen Xuanxin didn't like to talk when he was eating, and Concubine Rou didn't say anything. A bowl of duck soup was put in front of Shen Xuanxin: "The emperor can drink some soup, this is the small kitchen that has been boiling for several hours."

Shen Xuanxin's tone was not salty, and he snorted.

Concubine Rou has been in contact with Shen Xuanxin so much, she clearly knows his temperament. She loves him even if he is like this, and she firmly believes that Shen Xuanxin is different to her.

Shen Xuanxin was about to leave after finishing his meal in Yikun Palace, and Concubine Rou pulled his sleeve: "Is the emperor coming over at night?"

Shen Xuanxin was a little repulsed by Concubine Rou's words, he said that it depends, if the fold is finished, come over. He just euphemistically said that he would not come to Yikun Palace at night.

But Concubine Rou didn't think so, she still instructed the palace people to pay attention to the situation at the palace gate. Concubine Rou waited for Shen Xuanxin in the inner room of the main hall, and she didn't sleep until dawn.

Xiangqiao walked over gently: "It's almost dawn, go and sleep for a while."

Concubine Rou shook her somewhat unsober head: "It's almost dawn?" I've been sitting for so long......"

Concubine Rou got down from the soft couch, her body shook a little, and Xiangqiao hurriedly helped her to lie on the bed. She put down the bed curtain and went out to guard, and I don't know if Concubine Rou slept or not.

Concubine Rou didn't sleep after lying down, she kept her eyes open until dawn. When she was old, she stayed up all night and there was a black green under her eyes, and she didn't dare to let herself go out to meet people like this.

Xiangqiao rubbed a few layers of powder on her face before covering her haggard face: "Which bead hairpin is Niangniang wearing today?"

Concubine Rou tilted her head and pointed to the step of the begonia flower: "That's it."

Going to the queen's palace to ask for peace is a daily compulsory homework for their concubines, except for the occasional queen who is sick or something else will inform everyone that they don't need to go to ask for peace.

Concubine Rou sat in the queen's palace for a while and then said that she was sick and left first, she sat on the step and held her head with her hands, and she had a terrible headache when she didn't sleep all night.

On the left side of the road stood a woman in a pale pink dress, Concubine Rou had never seen this woman: "The one standing on the side of the road is the master of which palace, how come this palace has never seen it?"

"Hui Niangniang is Li Zhen'er of Changyin Pavilion."

Isn't this Li Zhen'er a show girl who has just entered the palace and has not yet slept in the palace, she took a closer look and found that this woman's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to her. At the age of fifteen, she was wearing a pale pink dress, and Concubine Rou seemed to see her when she first entered the palace from Li Zhen'er. At that time, she was also young and lively, and the days day after day and year after year wore away her little temperament.

This show girl who looks similar to her doesn't know if the emperor will like it more after she sleeps.

……

Cui Jinxi sat in the courtyard and looked at the few pots of peonies and hibiscus flowers that the Internal Affairs Office had just sent in the courtyard, and he didn't know what Shen Xuanxin meant, and suddenly asked the Internal Affairs Office to send a few pots of flowers.

The flower language of these two flowers is: humility, shyness, affection and good taste, it seems that she doesn't have it. Besides, the emperor didn't know any flower language from an ancient person, so he sent flowers over purely in a good mood?

I had dinner with Concubine Rou yesterday and I'm in such a good mood today, it seems that Concubine Rou is really what everyone says is favored.

However, since she entered the palace, it seems that she has not seen the Queen Mother, and no one has mentioned the Queen Mother. Cui Jinxi called An Chun to ask, only to know that the Queen Mother had started to worship the Buddha a few years ago, and the Queen Mother didn't like many people, so she exempted everyone from asking for peace every day.

The Queen Mother has no major events and almost does not leave the Yongshou Palace, and the Queen Mother is dedicated to worshipping the Buddha and does not care about the affairs of the harem. In the previous dynasty, there was an emperor in the harem and a queen, and the queen mother did not listen to things outside the window.

The emperor is thirty years old, and the queen mother is also in her forties, and she has reached the age of worshipping the Buddha. Most people in ancient times liked to worship Buddha, but Cui Jinxi did not believe in Buddhism.

……

Tingxue came back from outside with an unhappy face, and when An Chun saw it, he asked, "Tingxue, didn't you go to the Huanyi Bureau to get the master's clothes, why did you come back empty-handed?"

Listening to Xue saw Cui Jinxi in front of her, her voice was aggrieved: "Master, the grandmother of the Huanyi Bureau is too bullying."

Cui Jinxi saw Xue's aggrieved crying appearance and asked her what was wrong, she said that she sent the clothes that should be washed to the Huanyi Bureau a few days ago. It's been three days, and she went to get it just now, and the grandmother there said that the clothes haven't been washed yet.

The grandmother of the Huanyi Bureau said that there are many mothers in the palace and many clothes, so they have to be washed slowly. The clothes worn by the ladies are expensive and have to be washed carefully, and the grandmother said that the position of the master of her family is not as high as that of others.

As soon as she heard this, Xue was angry that her clothes hadn't been washed for three days, and she disliked that her master's position was not high, so she reasoned with the grandmother of the Huanyi Bureau. She was a palace maid, but the grandmother was humiliated in the end.

After hearing this, Cui Jinxi picked up the handkerchief in his hand and wiped his tears for Tingxue: "Isn't it just clothes if it's okay, your master and I don't have no clothes to wear." Why bother with those low-handed things? ”

Tingxue sniffled and sobbed: "Let the master be wronged."

"This is not a grievance to me, and you don't know what we are like in the house. Okay, it's no big deal, don't cry anymore. ”

The grandmother of the Huanyi Bureau is afraid that she does not have the courage to get along with her nobleman, although she is not in a high position, she is also favored, and a grandmother will not be confused. I'm afraid that someone deliberately wants to embarrass her.

……

"Mama, why do you have such an attitude towards the palace maid next to Cui Guiren? You are not afraid that Cui Guiren will complain to the emperor. ”

The palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau poured a cup of tea for Mama Hu and handed it over, just now Mama Hu saw how she saw the palace maid next to Cui Guiren. Cui Guiren has just accepted the favor, and it stands to reason that Mama Hu is also an old man in the palace, not such a person who doesn't know what to do.

"It's not what Dong Zhaorong meant, how can I resist as a minion."

"What if Guiren Cui complains to the emperor?"

"Dong Zhaorong said that she was responsible for something, and besides, Dong Zhaorong had a good relationship with the queen, so I did it."

The palace maid nodded to show that she understood, and the identity of the first level made Mama Hu choose to bow her head to the one with the most power
