In the Yongle Palace, everything is silent.

There was only one palace lamp lit in Ziling's bedroom, and the palace maids had already slept, the wick had not been trimmed, and the lights kept jumping, and the shadows were full of shadows.

Yunu and Xiaoru had also fallen asleep, and Li Zhao woke them up and said that the emperor was going to spend the night in Yongle Palace tonight. They were overjoyed and hurriedly called the palace maids to prepare in a hurry.

Their joy is indescribable, and the jade slave is truly happy for their young lady. And Xiaoru is thinking that her hard days are finally coming to an end - if Concubine Xiao is favored, the emperor can send a few more palace maids to Yongle Palace, then she can easily order.

So, after preparing everything, they and Li Zhao stayed outside the dormitory, cheering up and waiting for the master to send.

After lighting up several lights, the room was bright. I saw that the bedroom was simple and tidy, and there was not too much antique porcelain. There are piles of books on the bookcase, and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are on the table, which is slightly messy.

Meng Hongyu walked straight to the bookcase and grabbed the poem that Ziling had transcribed in the afternoon. That is Nalan Rongruo's "Magnolia Flower Order: Quasi-Ancient Decisive Words". He didn't know that a few hundred years later, there would be a great talent named Nalan Xingde who wrote such a wonderful poem! I thought it was Zi Ling's own words. He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ziling meaningfully: "I didn't expect her to write such good words!" ”

Zi Ling stood nervously by the table, secretly looking at him. He has an almost perfect side face, long eyelashes, a nose as beautiful as Andy Lau, and so good skin...... Zi Ling's heart fluttered like a deer.

She thought she must have been too nervous, the night was too quiet for her to breathe. She knew what was going to happen next, and how could she find an excuse to get away with it?

Although he was her husband, they were so strangers to each other, and she didn't love him, so she never thought of ...... with him

After a long time, he still read Ziling's poems with great interest, and did not mean to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Zi Ling stood aside, gradually getting sleepy, and secretly dozed off.

I saw her head "licking" from time to time, her hands drooping, and her hair was slightly messy. Suddenly, as soon as she leaned up, it seemed that she was about to hit the palace lamp standing beside her.

Saying that it was too late, Meng Hongyu quickly stepped to Ziling's side and caught her steadily. She fell into his arms and fell asleep peacefully.

Looking at her contented sleeping face, as flawless as a baby, Meng Hongyu smiled lovingly. He suddenly felt that her sweet sleeping appearance was really likable.

He picked her up, gently put her on the bed, and helped her cover the quilt.

When she woke up, it was slightly bright, and she stretched comfortably and yawned contentedly. She was about to call Yunu to come in and wait for her to wash, when suddenly, she saw a man lying next to her.

She subconsciously screamed, "Ahh

Meng Hongyu, who was asleep, was awakened by her and sat up suddenly.

Seeing that it was him, Zi Ling suddenly remembered what happened last night.

She realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly jumped out of bed and pleaded guilty: "The emperor forgives the sin!" Ziling has long been accustomed to sleeping alone, and forgot that the emperor was by his side for a while, which scared the emperor, and hoped that the emperor would forgive me! ”

He smiled, sighed, and said helplessly: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to care, it's better to serve me quickly to wash and change clothes, it's time for me to go to court." ”

Meng Hongyu has been gone for a long time, but she was in a trance all morning, and she couldn't give up. She didn't know when she fell asleep or if something had happened between them.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask Yunu: "Yunu, did you hear anything last night...... What's weird...... Movement? ”

The jade slave was anxious, shook her head like a rattle, and said vigorously: "Miss, the slave didn't hear anything...... The slave didn't hear anything...... Slaves can swear! ”

"Well, that's not what I meant...... I'm asking...... Do I have ...... with the emperor?" she couldn't help but blush.

"Miss, you won't...... You...... Would you not know? ”

"I don't know when I fell asleep, I don't know if the emperor insulted me while I was asleep."

Indecent assault? Yu Nu almost didn't laugh out loud, and hurriedly said, "Miss, how can it be said to be 'indecent'? It should be 'Linxing'. ”

"Whatever it is, is there one?"

"Miss, do you feel any discomfort?"

"Nope." Zi Ling suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief - nothing had happened to her and him.

Yes, she hasn't fallen in love with him yet, and he won't fall in love with him, so it's better to draw a clear line between them and between the Chu River and Han.

"It's really nice." She couldn't be more than happy.

"What makes my sister so happy, can you say it so that my sister and I can have fun?" A delicate voice came.

The jade slave was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave maid pays a visit to the lady concubine." ”

Zi Ling turned around, oh, it turned out to be Concubine Liu Ruxin.

Liu Ruxin, one of the three palaces, lives in Yongye Palace. Her mother was originally a singer in Qinglou, and later married Liu Yushi as a concubine and gave birth to Liu Ruxin. Although her mother is not a performer, and she is versatile, her humble background doomed Liu Ruxin to be inferior by birth. Since she was a child, she has been bullied by her siblings, and now, although she has raised her eyebrows, she is the most taboo for people to mention her mother's origins.

Originally, it should have been her half-sister and daughter Liu Ruyu from the main room who entered the palace, but Liu Ruyu had already promised to marry Xiao Wanzhong's eldest son and Xiao Ziling's brother Xiao Zixun as his wife, so the candidate for entering the palace in Liufu was replaced by Liu Ruxin. Liu Ruxin, who delayed her marriage because she was forgotten by her father, entered the palace instead of her sister because of a blessing in disguise.

After Liu Ruxin entered the palace, she was quite favored, and three years later, she gave birth to two daughters for Meng Hongyu. The emperor currently has only one son and three daughters, and two daughters were born to her, so she can be regarded as a laborer, so she was promoted from Zhaorong to a concubine.

Zi Ling nodded slightly and said, "Zi Ling greets Concubine Shuniang." ”

Liu Ruxin passed by Xiao Ziling without squinting, sat down on the upper seat, and said slowly: "Sister doesn't have to be polite."

Zi Ling looked at her directly, smiled and said, "I don't know if my sister has any advice for visiting?" ”

"I heard that my sister writes good words, so I came over to ask my sister for advice on how to write poems that can confuse the emperor." Obvious words are prickly.

"Since my sister is willing to learn, then Zi Ling will take my sister as an apprentice." Zi Ling was determined to play tricks on her.

"Oh? Then the palace wants to see how capable you are. ”

Ziling asked Yunu to prepare his pen and ink, and picked up the pen to write a classic five-character poem that Han Han was famous in the sea back then:

"Lying plum and smelling flowers, lying branches painting the sky, fish temperature lying stone water, lying stone green answering." （1）

"What does this poem mean?"

"Back to my sister, this is a poem that Ziling just thought of, which is to praise the beauty of plum blossoms. Because your sister is better than plum blossoms, and you have the chastity and elegance of plum blossoms, Zi Ling dedicated this poem to Niangniang. I hope you can chant a few more times when you are free. ”

Zi Ling snickered in his heart, it seems that this "literary scolding" in the 21st century has come in handy in ancient times.

"Hmph, it's not as beautiful as a flower, but compared to my sister, my sister and I are still a little bit beautiful." After listening to Zi Ling's flattery, Liu Ruxin thought that Zi Ling was really "shocked" by her beauty, and she was in a good mood and shook back to Yongye Palace with satisfaction.
