In the blink of an eye, five days passed in a flash, and the day of Zhaoyun and the great gift was getting closer and closer.

In the past few days, the etiquette is still taught by Mama Zhao. Although she still made small movements from time to time, she did not dare to be as blatant as on the first day, and only occasionally embarrassed.

One action is standard enough, and let Zhaoyun do it a few more times. Zhaoyun was patient and did what she said, and after a long time, Mama Zhao didn't dare to say anything more.

It's Xichun, they move frequently.

asked Xichun to pick pomegranates, and most of them went into her stomach.

asked Nian Xia to pick lotus flowers and come back and insert them in the vase, but it took most of the day to return.

Let the autumn sweep the floor, sweep and sweep it sadly, put down the bamboo broom and sit on the verandah to look at the shadow and feel sorry for himself.

Only in winter, he still obeys orders, but his attitude has always been cold, with a straight face all day long, and he doesn't look smiling.

This day is unitary. Luo Ye passed by Zhaoyun Palace, and watched the palace gate open widely, and there was no one guarding the door, and he was suspicious.

When I stepped into Zhaoyun Palace, at the end of the verandah, four or five palace maids sat around and played dice games.

He passed by the verandah, and saw that the palace maids were also just burying their heads, staring closely at the spinning dice in front of them, and their mouths were still chattering excitedly.

Nian Xia and Xi Chun sat inside, with some small pieces of silver in front of them, all their attention was on the spinning dice, and their mouths were reading their respective points.

Luo Ye coughed heavily several times beside them, and they didn't take their attention off the dice. In an instant, his face turned pale, and he threw his sleeves away.

As he walked angrily to the foot of a sycamore tree in front of Zhaoyun's study, a palace maid turned out from behind, and blocked him with an incomprehensible face.

Qiu Qiu looked at Luo Ye, who was wearing a bright yellow embroidered cloud dragon pattern casual clothes in front of him, and looked like a dragon. Thinking of the glimpse many years ago, I didn't feel that the red glow stained my face, and I looked at it obsessively, and I forgot to salute for a while.

Luo Ye was even more angry in his heart, and he was just about to leave. I saw the palace maid who stopped in front of her, bowed her head shyly, pulled a handkerchief in her hand, and slowly chanted a poem.

"The mountains have trees and branches, do you know that you are happy with your heart?"

Luo Ye snorted lightly from his nose, turned around and left. With a lot of anger, he walked into the study. I saw that Zhaoyun was tucking his wide sleeves and practicing calligraphy behind the table.

"You still have the heart to practice calligraphy here? Regardless of your subordinates, what's the mess outside? ”

Zhaoyun raised his head, and saw Luo Ye with a gloomy face, put the pen on the inkstone and said, "The emperor is here, please take a seat." ”

Biluo, who was waiting on the side, took the upside-down keel porcelain cup on the small wooden coffee table, poured some tea with a white jade carved pot, and presented it to Luo Ye with both hands.

He took it, raised his hand and drank it down.

Zhaoyun's red lips in front of him opened lightly: "Please forgive the emperor for Zhaoyun's lax discipline." It's just ......" she lowered her head slightly and pursed her lips.

Luo Ye saw her look of embarrassment, and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Only then did Zhaoyun raise his head again, glanced at him, and said with a long sigh: "It's not that I don't want to care, but this is the person who was rewarded by the queen mother." I don't have the right to punish too much, otherwise it will be a loss for the queen mother! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Luo Ye frowned and asked suspiciously.

"The emperor is in charge of everything, and he may not know much about the affairs of this harem. A few days ago, the queen mother sent four palace maids. Each has its own temper, which is good. But even the queen mother didn't know that they were used to being idle before, and even more so when they came to me. ”

"I'm helpless with these girls. They are like a hot potato with me, and they can't be beaten or scolded. After speaking, Zhaoyun sighed helplessly.

"They are playing dice together, and one of them is coming to me without knowing whether they are alive or dead, so reckless, what does it look like to spread it?"

"It's me who can't discipline it, but~" Zhaoyun pretended to show a look of embarrassment again, and frowned, "I really don't dare to punish the person who was rewarded by the queen mother." ”

At the same time, in the Buddhist hall in Changde Palace. Chang De was kneeling under the Buddha shrine, his eyes closed, and he was chanting Buddhist scriptures.

The right hand placed on the lap, four fingers down, each time a sentence is recited, the thumb pinched down and rotated a rosary made of one hundred and eight small leaves of red sandalwood. The rosaries are all round and full, and the color is shiny.

"Queen Mother, the emperor went to Zhaoyun Palace." Mama Wang entered the Buddhist hall and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Changde instantly opened his eyes, and the rosary in his hand stopped turning.

"What?"

"Empress Dowager. It is said that the palace maids of Zhaoyun Palace acted indiscriminately, and there was even a palace maid who came to the emperor's side, which angered the emperor. ”

"What palace maid is so daring?" On Chang De's well-maintained face, a pair of slender and long eyebrows frowned slightly, squinting at those narrow eyes, and asked coldly.

Mama Wang lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's the palace maid named Qiuqiu who gave Princess Zhaoyun not long ago." ”

"It's really a lot of guts!" Changde held the futon on the ground, slowly stood up, turned the rosary and asked, "What was the identity of this Qiuqiu in the past?" ”

"It is said that she was the daughter of a criminal minister."

"What about the other palace maids?"

"They gathered together openly....... Dice ...... It is said that not long ago, Xichun and Nianxia also made trouble in the imperial dining room. ”

"It's really presumptuous, how does this Zhaoyun discipline his subordinates? Hurry up and drive Zhaoyun Palace!" Chang De frowned and squeezed the rosary in his hand tightly.

The group came to the outside of Zhaoyun Palace with great momentum. Seeing that there was no one outside the door, Changde was even more angry in his heart.

The palace maids gathered in the verandah were just about to disperse, and Xi Chun was just about to put a small pile of broken silver in front of him into the money bag, and he was still babbling, "It's really good luck today." ”

As soon as I looked up, I saw the Empress Dowager Changde and her party coming in a mighty way, and they were shocked and immediately froze in place. The money bag in his hand was lost for a while, and the broken silver was scattered on the ground in an instant.

"Sister Xichun, you won the money, but you can't even hold the money bag!" The maid of the first palace joked on the side.

"Presumptuous!" Mama Wang, who was holding the Empress Dowager Changde, scolded from afar.

The palace maids who were laughing in the verandah, the smiles on their faces instantly froze. One by one, they quickly turned around and knelt on the ground.

"What are you doing here?" Mama Wang stepped forward and stared closely at the people who were eager to bury their heads.

Nian Xia and the others instantly held their breath and buried their heads lower.

"Xichun, you say." Mama Wang said by name.

"Back to Mama, I'...... We...... In this ...... Nothing to do...... Roll the dice for a while. ”

Xichun, who was kneeling on the ground and burying his head, heard Mama Wang naming her name, and suddenly replied like a thorn in her back, trembling and stammering.

"You're so daring!" Chang De said coldly, glanced at the palace maids kneeling on the side, and asked, "Are the other palace maids also from Zhaoyun Palace?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, I'...... We...... She is the palace maid of Cheng'en Palace. A palace maid in a pink palace dress buried her head and whispered crampedly.

"Mu Guifei's palace maid actually ran to Zhaoyun Palace, she is really bold!" Changde straightened the phoenix hairpin that was slanted into his hair, and after speaking, he didn't look at them again, and brushed his sleeves away.
