Dark clouds covered the sky, and it was dark in front of him, and only a ray of light was drawn in the light of lightning, sweeping away the dullness caused by the darkness. The lightning was followed by a rumbling thunder that woke up the dreamers in the tent.

"Little master, but you're shocked?" Because of the thunder all night, Chunsheng didn't dare to sleep outside the tent in order to wait for Lin Shuyao's orders.

"What time is it?" Lin Shuyao was much more sober, listening to the faint explosion of thunder.

"Back to the little master, it's time. Want to sleep a little longer? It's raining heavily outside on the left and right, and the queen will be considerate. Chunsheng knelt in front of the bed and asked softly.

"Even if the queen is kind, we can't ignore the rules, just freshen up." Lin Shuyao lifted the curtain and lifted the quilt to get up, but Chunsheng immediately got up to serve Lin Shuyao to freshen up.

After Lin Shuyao washed up, he looked at the sky outside and it was still cloudy, but the rain was a little lighter. Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Lin Shuyao looked at the face in the bronze mirror, the wind bun showed her sideburns, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle like water, her skin was delicate and soft like warm jade, and the two strands of hair on her cheeks added a little girlish coquettishness. The emperor is busy with government affairs, so the five of them who were elected to the palace have not yet received the grace of God. The days are still leisurely, in addition to going to greet the queen, she is also reading the script in her Yulan Pavilion to pass the time.

Lin Shuyao, who has not been able to start the palace fight for the time being, has a wall in her heart, and the contemporary noble girl is going to be a noble son who either enters the palace or is in the right household. Lin Shuyao entered the palace on the day the peach blossoms burned, looked at the handsome and dashing emperor above, and then looked at the graceful and luxurious queen and the glamorous and shy concubine on the side, when she heard the sentence "keep the card", there was only one sentence in her heart, "The old lady is also going to start the palace fight!" ”

"Little master, what kind of hair are you combing today?" Chunsheng saw Lin Shuyao in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, and called softly.

"Look at the rain that is starting to lighten a lot. Maybe it will be sunny in the afternoon, and those late-blooming peach blossoms will definitely be the last season. Let's go check it out and pass the time. Lin Shuyao sighed, and he figured out the situation of the harem for about a month after entering the palace.

The old man in the palace is the queen Wang Yuchu, Concubine Jing Zhou Yuyuan, and Concubine Rou Lin Feifei, who have accompanied the emperor since he was still the prince. Ye Qingjia, the concubine of the Holy Family, is an extremely beautiful woman who is best at singing and dancing. Also selected with the concubine were Xu Qin from the fourth grade, Su Zhaoyi and Su Wanzhou from the third grade, Ma Zhaorong and Ma Lirong from the fifth grade, Zhu Guiren Zhu Ping from the sixth grade, An Jieyu An Meng from the fifth grade, etc., and a concubine with a small transparent share is not high. They have their own strengths and appearances, thinking of this, Lin Shuyao has to sigh that the emperor's vision is really good, and all the beauties in the harem have their own merits.

Lin Shuyao's Bailan Pavilion is not far from the queen's Changchun Palace, and it is not close to the middle, looking at his identity with this Bailan Pavilion, I am afraid that the queen is looking at the face of her family history. Lin Shuyao wore a light blue palace dress, only inserted a bead between her hair, and after the makeup was finished, she saw that the rain was already much lighter. Lin Shuyao stood up and personally opened the door of the main room of the Lan Pavilion, and when he saw that it was dawn, Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "Look, it's just right for us to get up." ”

Chunsheng hurriedly held an umbrella and waited for Lin Shuyao to go to the queen to say goodbye, and it took a while to understand that Lin Shuyao's sentence was appropriate It turned out that the queen did not say that the concubines were exempted from asking for peace, and they got up as usual to go ahead must be more flattering than those concubines who got up late because of the rain, at least they would not be cannon fodder to give people cynicism.

When Lin Shuyao arrived at Changchun Palace, the queen of Changchun Palace was sitting directly above, and Concubine Jia and Concubine Jing were sitting under the queen, talking and joking with each other. It seems to make people feel harmonious, but how can there be real harmony in the harem?

"The concubine asks the queen to say goodbye, and the queen is blessed. Please concubine Niangniang, Concubine Jing Niangniang Wanfu. Lin Shu said.

"They are all sisters, so why be polite? Lin Liangyuan, you just get up quickly. Wang Yuchu smiled really as gently as a sister in the family.

"Queen Xie's mercy." Lin Shuyao sneered in her heart, her own sisters? are all girls from various families, where will they be their own sisters? Besides, they keep saying that the sisters keep reminding each other of their identities, this is the sisters in the palace. It's really a ridiculous and rare sisterhood, thinking of this, Lin Shuyao covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and looked up at the stunning and beautiful Concubine Jia, and thought in her heart, maybe there is no one better than her in this harem.

"The palace just said that I was afraid that you were not used to entering the palace when you first entered the palace, and it will be late today." Zhou Yuyuan raised a cup of tea and looked at Lin Shuyao.

"The queen mother is kind, and the concubines naturally have to keep their duties. It is the concubine's duty to ask for peace for the queen's mother, and the rules naturally cannot be left behind. Lin Shuyao replied with a light smile.

Wang Yuchu, who was seated, smiled with satisfaction, Lin Shuyao and the six of them entered the palace, and Lin Shuyao was named the good lady of the sixth grade because of his good family background. The only nobles from the sixth grade are Li Ruoyi, a close friend of Lin Shuyao's boudoir, and Kong Yunfang, the daughter of the left temple of Dali Temple, and the other three are sealed as the seventh grade of Baolin. At first, the queen thought that among the five, it would be Lin Shuyao's most high-profile, but she didn't expect Lin Shuyao to be well-behaved since she entered the palace. This made her like Lin Shuyao very much, so she said with a smile: "If everyone in the palace is as well-behaved and sensible as my sister, this palace will be a lot of relief." There is one person in this palace who is the most squeamish, and even the emperor let her go. ”

"But the queen mother is talking bad about the concubine behind her back again?" A coquettish female voice sounded from the outer room of Changchun Palace.

"It must be Concubine Rou who is here, and she used to be this shouting character in the East Palace." Zhou Yuyuan said with a smile.

"You've wronged me, Sister Rou." Wang Yuchu raised his eyes and quipped at the woman who walked in with a dress.

"It's Sister Jing!" Lin Feifei walked to Zhou Yuyuan and sat down, and shouted for the palace maid to serve tea.

"You are shouting as if the palace has deducted your tea." Wang Yuchu looked at Lin Feifei with a doting look at the young sister at home.

"How could the queen mother be virtuous and deduct the tea leaves of her concubines? It's just that the queen's pre-rain Longjing is the best in the palace, and the concubines are greedy. Lin Feifei smiled coquettishly.

When Wang Yuchu heard this, he smiled and said that she was a debt collector, but he ordered the palace maid to give Lin Feifei some pre-rain dragon wells.

Lin Shuyao also raised the teacup and took a sip, knowing in his heart that this Lin Feifei was just complimenting the queen. Draw the difference between the queen and the concubine, the queen is the favorite. No wife in the world would be willing to be similar to a concubine, and the emperor's concubine may not be noble. For example, before the rain, the dragon well was first selected for the queen mother, the emperor and the queen, and then delegated to the concubines according to the degree of grace.

"Why is Lin Liangyuan staying?" Lin Feifei looked at the stunned Lin Shu and said loudly.

"Back to Concubine Rou, the concubine saw that Niangniang liked the tea here so much, so she immediately took a sip. It's just that the concubines are stupid, and they only think the tea is delicious, but they can't say a good taste when they taste it. Lin Shuyao smiled coquettishly, like a person who really didn't understand.

"Poof, isn't tea just for drinking? Why taste it? After Lin Shuyao finished speaking, he heard a female voice in the outer room of Changchun Palace.

Xu Qin walked in with several concubines behind him, first greeted the queen, and then sat down under Lin Feifei, and said to Lin Shuyu: "Lin Liangyuan got up quite early, presumably he can't sleep in the palace these days, right?" ”

As soon as Xu Qin's words came out, the faces of these people who entered the palace turned white, isn't this Xu Qin just sarcastically mocking them for not accepting favor? The few people who had just entered the palace were not as tall as Lin Shu, so they didn't dare to show their displeasure.

Lin Shuyao smiled lightly: "Sister Xu is joking with her sister, the concubines are praying for the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen day and night for the well-being of the Holy Body, how can you be idle?" I came early, but I thought that the queen mother was kind and considerate to the sisters, and I wanted to come to greet the mother earlier. ”

Xu Qin is not the most favored in the palace, and the emperor's favor cannot be shared much with her when she has been in the palace for a long time. Wang Yuchu just turned a blind eye to doing things and was high-profile, and Xu Qin became more and more arrogant.

"Yo, Lin Liangyuan's heart is really good. It's a pair of sharp teeth, isn't it just that the concubine came late? Xu Qin snorted coldly after sitting down, staring at Lin Shuyao viciously. She can't see Lin Shuyao's appearance the most, her family background is good, she is a good lady of the sixth grade as soon as she enters the palace, please come early every day, Xu Qin feels that this person is unfathomable in his heart to please the queen.

"Concubine Xu! As an old man in the palace, how did you set an example for Lin Xiaoyuan? Sister Jia came so early, you came late, but you have to blame Lin Xiaoyuan for sarcastically mocking you. The queen put down the cup heavily and looked at Concubine Xu coldly.

"Mother is angry...... The concubine knew that she was wrong... Please punish the queen mother......" Xu Qin immediately got up and went to the middle to salute and ask for guilt.

"In that case, you can compensate Lin Liangyuan. Oh, this palace remembers that you have a good pink Su Luo Jin there and will reward Lin Liangyuan as an apology, and most of the young girls are beautiful in pink. Wang Yuchu lifted the cup of tea again, took a sip, and looked at Xu Qin, who was annoyed, and the corners of his mouth went up.

"The concubine knows, it's wrong that Lin Liangyuan is my sister today, Lin Liangyuan shouldn't take it to heart." Xu Qin sat back in his position and looked at Lin Shuyao, and said to Lin Shuyao without smiling: "Later, the palace will let people send Su Luojin to you!" ”

"Concubine, thank you Sister Xu for your love." Lin Shuyao smiled softly on his face and sneered in his heart. This Wang Yuchu used a knife to kill people, but he disposed of the restless Xu Qin but led the fire to her, it seemed that Wang Yuchu was helping her, but he let Xu Qin reward himself. Heh, didn't Wang Yuchu just let Concubine Xu not hold a grudge against her and suppress herself? also provoked the anger of Xu Concubine, when Xu Concubine entered the palace, she was considered a long time, and she was also an old man, didn't the young girl make up for Xu Qin's sore spot alive? Thinking of this, Lin Shuyao raised his eyes and looked at Wang Yuchu who was seated, and he had to admire the good means in his heart.

The time to say goodbye passed, and Wang Yuchu also let everyone retreat. Listening to the neat sound of goodbye, this greeting is over. When Lin Shuyao left Changchun Palace, he was hit hard by Xu Qin, Lin Shuyao's center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell, but fortunately he was held by Li Ruoyi.

"Yo, it looks like my sister is just very good at being a person, but I can't think of it but I can't walk." Xu Qin pinched the handkerchief and covered his mouth and smiled.

"It doesn't matter if you can walk, people who can climb to high positions are carried by someone." Lin Feifei sat on the sedan chair and looked at Xu Qin, who was embarrassed, and turned pale with anger, and laughed coquettishly.

"The concubine sends Concubine Rou Niangniang." Lin Shuyao suddenly had a lot of good feelings for Lin Feifei, and several concubines in the same company gave Lin Feifei gifts. Lin Feifei can use the sedan chair everywhere in the palace, which is a privilege given to her by the emperor, and it is also the only honor in the harem.

"Little master, Concubine Rou was really good just now, and she helped the little master out of the siege." Chunsheng helped Lin Shuyao and said.

"It's just that I can't get used to Concubine Xu's style, Concubine Rou has always been like this." Lin Shuxiao didn't make unnecessary comments, she knew that Lin Feifei must just be unaccustomed to Xu Qin's arrogance and domineering, so she just stimulated her. Xu Qin didn't have the ability to move Lin Feifei and Wang Yuchu, so he would naturally sprinkle his anger on her little Liangyuan. You have to be careful, although Xu Qin can't do any brainless tricks, but her position is higher than her, and it is not difficult for her to be embarrassed.

In Hehuan Palace, Lin Feifei was unloading his armor, putting the armor in the box and walking to the beauty couch. Ruyi beside him was fanning and asked softly, "Why did Niangniang help Lin Liangyuan today?" ”

"It's just that I can't get used to Xu Concubine's old woman's appearance of relying on the old and selling the old, just to see if Lin Liangyuan has the ability to win the first favor in May, if she can't fight, let Xu Concubine continue to bully." Lin Feifei motioned Ruyi to press his head.

Ruyi nodded as if she didn't understand, and then pressed Lin Feifei's head intently, and then said: "Concubine Xu is really annoying, I robbed you sensibly this morning." ”

"Alas, wishful thinking, isn't this palace already unhappy for her? I don't want to think about the side things. Lin Feifei got up and rubbed Ruyi's head, and when he saw Ruyi nodded, he lay down again and slowly closed his eyes.

Lin Shuyao went directly to the peach forest, it was almost May, and most of the petals of the peach blossoms in the peach forest fell to the ground after the rain, and no one had cleaned them. There are not many peach blossoms on the branches, and they are not as beautiful as when they first bloomed, Lin Shuyao was thinking that the wet flowers on the ground were also so defeated that people were not interested in looking at them again and were ready to go back, but they never thought that it would rain again.

"Master, this raindrop is getting heavier and heavier, and the slave and maid have already sent Duobao to get an umbrella, where can we take shelter from the rain?" Chunsheng pointed to the verandah not far away.

"What are you doing then? Run! Lin Shuyao looked at Chunsheng's old look, and rarely flicked Chunsheng's head mischievously, lifted his skirt and ran towards the verandah first.

"Your Majesty, it's raining, and the slave has already asked Xiao Xiazi to get an umbrella. Where to avoid the verandah? The prince lowered his body and pointed to the verandah, and a low female voice came from the verandah.

"When the rain stopped earlier, I thought it wouldn't fall, but now it's like I'm stuck here."

"Master, isn't this a verandah to shelter from the rain?"

"That's it, I look at the peach trees in this peach forest, maybe I can secretly pick them to eat after they bear fruit."

"Huh? Why did the master come and pick it secretly? Everyone can come to this peach forest......"

"Naturally, it has to be picked by yourself to have a different taste, if a group of concubines pick peaches here, wouldn't they all let the servants around them pick them?"

Fu Heng listened to the conversation between Lin Shuyao's master and servant, and his heart became unpredictable, so he quietly approached and suddenly appeared in the master and servant who were plotting to pick peaches quietly on a night.

"We'll ...... then"

"Ahem, I don't know what this little master is plotting?" Fu Heng couldn't help but look at the stunned girl, her eyes lit up, she was so cute and cute that she was frightened by her sudden appearance.

"The emperor is blessed." Lin Shu bowed.

"You are?" Fu Heng looked at the woman in front of him.

"The concubine Lan Pavilion Lin clan only entered the palace in April." Lin Shuyao raised his eyes and looked directly at Fu Heng.

"Ahem, I'm good-looking?" Fu Heng looked at Lin Shuyao's watery eyes and felt very cute, and reached out on a whim to pinch Lin Shuyao's face and said, "The quantile is not high, these eyes are very bold." ”

"Concubines don't dare to ......," Lin Shuyao bit her lip and looked even more pitiful.

"Didn't you just plot how to steal peaches? Why don't you dare again? It's a lot of courage like that. Fu Heng pulled Lin Shuyao up.

"The emperor is blessed, Lin Liangyuan'an, the slave is here with an umbrella." Duobao was the first to bring the umbrella, and he was also surprised when he saw Fu Heng.

"What are you doing? Why don't you give me an umbrella? Fu Heng looked at Lin Shuyao, who was stunned in place, and pinched her face again.

"Huh? Emperor... Where is the emperor? Lin Shuyao took the umbrella handed over by Duobao and opened it.

"Yu Lan Pavilion, otherwise you still want to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall with me? You stay here and wait for the umbrella. Fu Heng left all the people who served, and accepted Lin Shuyao's umbrella as a matter of course.

"Ai Concubine hold taller, I am taller." Fu Heng followed Lin Shuyao and walked a few steps, feeling more and more that the umbrella was covering people's eyes.

"......" Lin Shuyao's clothes were almost soaked, and he silently thought in his heart: Kill the monarch and punish the nine clans, kill the monarch and punish the nine clans, it's almost time to be fine.

Seeing Lin Shu's mouth curled, Fu Heng was very happy, and hugged Lin Shuyao and said, "Oops! Aifei, your clothes are wet, it seems that you have to go back to the Lan Pavilion quickly. After that, he walked faster with Lin Shuyao in his arms.

"Master, don't look at this defeated peach blossom anymore. The rain fell heavily, and the emperor went to the Bailan Pavilion, let's go back. "Mama Zhou helped Su Wanzhou.

"This flower has been defeated like this, and when I look at these peach blossoms, I think of the peach tree that I planted with my cousin in the former mansion...... Isn't that Concubine Jing? Su Wanzhou saw the figure hidden behind the peach blossom forest, and after a closer look, she found the umbrella held by Zhou Yuyuan. It turned out that Zhou Yuyuan got the news and wanted to send an umbrella to the emperor, but unexpectedly bumped into the emperor and Lin Shuyao met for the first time. Su Wanzhou couldn't help but smile when she looked at the depressed Zhou Yuyuan, and said to Mama Zhou: "Go back to the palace, this Concubine Jing stuffed a treasure forest to come to the palace, if it is well-behaved, it will be fine, and if it is not well-behaved, you still have to clean it up." ”

"Look, it seems to be Lin Liangyuan?" Zhou Yuyuan looked at Fu Heng hugging Lin Shuyao's back.

"Yes." Shu'er looked at Zhou Yuyuan with a worried face and sighed.

"Let's go back." Until he couldn't see Fu Heng and Lin Shuyao, Zhou Yuyuan clenched the oil-paper umbrella in his hand. The peach blossom petals were knocked down by the rain, Zhou Yuyuan looked at the peach blossoms that fell to the ground, remembered those words, and snorted coldly and stepped on them indifferently.
