After the beginning of spring, the days are hot day by day. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent ice cubes to the palaces, but forgot about Qingyin Pavilion. Bixi sat in the shade in front of the steps, fanning the wind while looking at the dazzling sun outside, and Xiao Chengzi beside him sighed, "Last year, there was not enough ice, Zhenruo went to the warehouse to ask for ice, and this year I simply didn't even give ice cubes." ”

"Fortunately, the little master is not afraid of heat, otherwise it would be very troublesome. Ay...... It's not very convenient to go to the warehouse to ask for something right now. A few days ago, the candlestick in the small main house was a little unstable, I thought about going to the treasury to ask for some wood to ask for some paint to repair it, originally Zhang Gonggong saw me and had a polite word or two, but now he saw me, and treated me as a fly, and I wanted to get out quickly. ”

"Phew, they're all a bunch of villains who are attached to the flames."

"Hey...... In this palace, who is not a villain who is attached to Panyan? The slaves are attached to the masters, and those eunuchs who work in the internal affairs office and the treasury, although there is no master with a name or surname above their heads, they can recognize the situation in the palace more than one another. We don't have any reason for it. Xiao Chengzi said, looking back at the room, Kang promised to paint again, "It's just that I pity our little master." Fortunately, the suggestion made by Miss Gu San was good and early, at least there was some subsidy for the little master's food. ”

Bixi also followed her to look inside, "Since the ban has been lifted, it is not necessary for the little master to go outside, and he will paint inside all day long." ”

"I don't know what the little master is drawing."

"Flowers and plants are lifelike, but we don't understand this."

"Even if you don't understand it, you know that the little master is very good."

Gu San saw the two of them sitting in front of the door, holding a big watermelon that he didn't know where to steal and walked in. As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xiao Chengzi was so frightened that she covered her eyes. Bixi shouted, "Miss Gusan, what kind of clothes are you wearing!" ”

Just look at her shortened pants and remove the two-sleeved gown, looking like a man doing coolies outside, almost trying to bare-chested and exposed. This dress is on a girl, even if Xiao Chengzi has gone castrated, he is more or less a man, and he hurried to avoid danger when he saw this.

However, Gu San was not in a hurry, took the watermelon and asked them, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Bixi hurriedly wanted to find clothes for her to put on, but Gu San was impatient and dodged, "It's hot to death, so I won't wear it." ”

"You're not going to just swagger around the palace, are you? It was seen, but it was going to be taken to the Punishment Division to be punished! ”

"Who sees me? I've been here for so long, I've already scratched my head for the hours of patrolling. Gu San avoided Bixi, took the watermelon and stepped up the steps in three steps to Xiao Chengzi, "Do you eat watermelon?" ”

Xiao Chengzi still covered his eyes, blushing and didn't dare to look at her, and didn't answer, Gu San shouted into the house, "Zhao Yuan'er, do you eat?" ”

Bixi poked her with her finger from behind her, and said angrily, "It's okay to dress and tie your hair without rules, you don't have a big name or a surname for the little master, how can there be a person like you?" ”

Gu San shrugged at her, "You have to put yourself into the shell of a minion, what can I do?" There are no masters and servants in the world, they are all ideas that people come up with. I'm not good at this, what's wrong? ”

Turned his head and shouted again, "Zhao Yuan'er!" Zhao Yuan'er! ”

This is the name that Kang gave before he agreed to enter the palace. I don't know when I asked Gu San to ask, Kang promised that since he entered the palace, he was given a word by the emperor, and he has never heard others call his name, so Gu San called her like this, and she was not angry.

Gu San also scoffed at the name "Kang Promise", and also said, "What promise or not, concubine or concubine, how can these names be as important as your own name." I like to hear your three words, Zhao Yuan'er. As soon as I said Zhao Yuan'er, I knew it was you, not someone else. ”

When Kang agreed to hear this, he was thoughtful, and muttered "Yes...... After entering the palace and getting the word 'Kang', Zhao Yuan'er seemed to have disappeared from the world. She only thought about whether Concubine Kang was still there, whether Kang agreed or was a nobleman. But I am Zhao Yuan'er, I am the daughter of the governor of Liangguang, and Zhao Yuan'er is. ”

After that, Gu San only called Zhao Yuan'er.

When the people in the house heard Gu San shouting outside, they replied, "I won't eat, Gu San." You ask Xiao Chengzi and Bixi to eat together. ”

Bixi stood outside the door and looked, "The little master is staying in the house when he sees the sky, but he is not too bored and panicked." ”

"She paints every day, and she paints so seriously that I don't get bored at all. On the contrary, it's you, Xiao Chengzi still grows vegetables, you don't have anything to do, aren't you bored? ”

"What about you? I don't think you've got anything to do. ”

"Me? I've got a lot of things to do. The watermelon that I just stole back, and I have to go to the imperial kitchen in the afternoon to steal wine and drink. Later, a pigeon is roasted and eaten. Gu San said this, while holding the watermelon in his hand, he pulled out a knife from his waist and split it on the spot. She didn't care about her image at all, she lowered her head and gnawed, Bixi pinched the orchid finger and picked it up, frowning and counting, "You slow down, who will grab it?" ”

I went to call Xiao Chengzi again, "You come and eat watermelon, Gu Sanquan will finish eating in a while!" ”

Xiao Chengzi was still shrinking in the corner, and shook his head when he heard this, "Don't stop looking and not eating." Let's talk about it when Miss Gu San leaves. ”

Gu San wiped his mouth after eating a large piece of watermelon, looked at him and smiled, "Fool." So he reached for the other piece.

She's really on vacation right now. And although it is said that the deep palace is rigorous, Gu San said that no one seems to be able to find out about her at all. Except for one Bixi who made a fuss when she saw her, others were like they didn't see her. This is just right for Gu San.

There is no chasing, no zombies, and there is no need to worry about not having enough food and clothing, whether you can still walk around and listen to small songs. What could be more comfortable than that?

As for Kang's promise to entrust her all along, it seems that he has not been in a hurry to start. After Da Congkang promised to tell Gu San about his plan, he was not in a hurry to implement it, but just asked Gu San to walk around the palace more at night, listen to it, and go out for a walk as long as he was not caught in the middle of the night. Occasionally, Gu San was also curious and asked her when it was time to do it, and Kang promised to just say wait, wait.

Gu San made a plan with her, there was a sentence that was indeed not wrong, if the palace was haunted, then she was still peaceful when she was grounded, and the ban was lifted on her side, and there was a female ghost in the palace who made trouble on the head of Concubine Shu, so whoever came felt that this matter was a little strange.

Kang promised to paint in his palace every day, and sometimes there was no paint, so he took Bixi and the two of them to the treasury to ask for it. She didn't care about other things, she was originally the daughter of the governor of Liangguang, and it stands to reason that she should pay attention to food and clothing, but since she experienced this grounding, she doesn't pay much attention to these things outside her body.

If he saw Bixi and Xiaochengzi in the treasury and knew that they were slaves, he would not give a good face. But how much Kang promised to be an old man who has been in the palace for many years, and she personally went to ask for some paints and painting materials, but she was embarrassed not to give them at all. This can be regarded as allowing Kang to promise to maintain this preference all the time.

However, Bixi always had to complain for her, saying that these individuals had anything to be proud of, they were all servants to the nobles in the palace, and their eyes were on the top of their heads, as if no one looked down on them.

Kang promised to smile faintly, and while persuading Bixi not to be angry, he kept his hands on the paper and drew an angry appearance of Bixi on the paper. Her paintings quickly filled the study room of the west wing of Qingyin Pavilion, from the very beginning of the landscape, flowers and plants, and recently painted many portraits. Some of them saw the paintings of Xiao Chengzi, Bixi and Gu San, and some of them painted the three princesses.

Bixi often said that the little master painted the best of the three princesses, stroke by stroke, between the eyebrows and eyes, it was a mother and daughter. Lifting the ban from Qingyin Pavilion, Concubine De Niangniang only promised to meet her once, and she came and went in a hurry, and the mother and daughter didn't have time to talk properly, so they let the mother separate.

The relationship between Concubine De and Kang promised is not bad, nor is it very close. Bixi has a saying that Concubine De has been friends with her for many years, but it doesn't stop there. It turned out that Kang promised to be kind to others in the palace, but it was not good to form a private party, and for those concubines who held each other, they were somewhat noble, and they probably didn't look down on this kind of style. When she was still in the concubine position, it didn't hurt to behave like this, but now she is down, and she has no friends, so she naturally has less to help.

Concubine De actually said it politely and clearly, she is in the position of a concubine, but she has no children under her knees, the reason why she can get to today's position is all because the family is strong, the emperor named her Concubine De, and now the third princess is transferred to her knees to raise, she is willing to be her own daughter, but the premise is that Kang promised this mother not to think about fighting back. She bluntly told Kang that with her current position, when the third princess grows up in the future, if the emperor favors her, she still hopes to find a good colt and marry a wishful husband, but there is a slight difference, given her mother's status, it is very likely that she will be married to a foreign family. When the time comes, she will be alone and weak, and she will have no one to feel sorry for her even if she dies.

But if the third princess was raised under her knees, it would be different. She is one of the four concubines, second only to the queen, and when the third princess becomes an adult, in addition to the emperor's share for her, her mother's family is also willing to add another one, and when the time comes, it will be a good thing for her to choose a young talent in the court to marry.

Concubine De said these words bluntly but cruelly, where can the love of flesh and blood be separated so easily? However, every word is true, and it is difficult for Kang to agree to refute it, so she can only swallow back her tears, completely control her emotions, kneel in front of Concubine De, and shout "Niangniang is merciful and virtuous, and the concubine is grateful to Dade, and she will never forget."

That's all, that's all.

Since then, no matter how much he misses his daughter, Kang promised not to set foot in Concubine De's Linyu Palace again. It's just that Hua'er's portrait is hung in her study, with a smile and a smile, and her voice and face are like beside her.
