It's already early afternoon. Quiet put on a white fox fur and said to Yaoqin, "Let's go out for a walk!" "Out of the palace gate, to the south, is a square brick paved avenue. Exotic flowers and plants on both sides, fragrant. Although it is autumn, the yellow and green leaves and small purple and red flowers are still similar to spring.

"Yaoqin, why is this place so beautiful?" Quiet and happy to look around. When she came, she was covered with a red hijab and was in no mood to look at it while sitting in a sedan chair. "Madame Hui, this is the Imperial Garden!" Yaoqin replied.

Walk through a cobblestone path among flowers, and in front of it is a huge lotus pond. Under the shadow of tall palace walls and green pines and cypresses.

The lotus flowers in the pond have long since withered. A pool of clear water ripples. There is a wooden bridge on the pond, which leads to the island in the middle of the lake. The island has rolling rockeries, green trees, pavilions and waters. Quietly shouted happily: "Yaoqin! Let's go play for a while! "Yes, ma'am. I'll help you over, watch out for the bridge slipping. Yaoqin carefully helped her to the bridge. The bridge deck is not too wide. But enough for two people to walk side by side. The bridge plate is thick. But because of the age, it has been ground very smooth.

The two slowly crossed the bridge and reached the island. The autumn wind blows in Hexi, and the weeping willows are still clinging. Quiet, just feel relaxed. The two stopped beside a rockery. Look there's a little warm pavilion up there. "Madame, why don't we go up and rest for a while?" Yaoqin proposed. Quiet agreed.

The two walked along the winding mountain path and climbed the stairs. Come to the warm pavilion decorated with seasonal flowers. "It smells so good!" Quietly sniffed and said. Yaoqin wiped the table and chairs clean. Quietly sat down at the window and watched out in the pond as a pair of waterfowl flew up and down.

At this time, a group of people came from the small bridge on the other side. They surrounded a middle-aged noblewoman and came to the warm pavilion. "Queen Mother, do you want to rest in the Xinuan Pavilion?" A palace man asked. "Here it is!" The lady said.

Yaoqin's face turned pale in a panic, "Madam, the queen mother is here, let's hide!" Quietly looked at her strangely, "Why are you hiding?" Isn't it Wan Yanzhao's eldest wife? Why are you so afraid of him? Yaoqin opened her mouth anxiously and was speechless.

A group of people had come to the Warm Pavilion. When the palace maid who came first saw Jing Jing and Yaoqin, she scolded: "Where did the woman come from? The queen mother still doesn't kneel down when she arrives! Yaoqin quickly knelt on the ground. Quiet still sat by the window, staring widely.

The queen has also stepped into the warm pavilion. Quietly, it was a noble lady covered in silk and satin, beaded and jade, about forty years old. Although it is not outstanding in appearance, it can be regarded as dignified.

The queen saw that the two people in front of her were not familiar, so she asked, "Who are you?" How did you end up here? Yaoqin knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head, "Returning to the queen mother, we are from the Jade Palace, and the one sitting is the Lady Yue Guo of the Jade Palace." We traveled all the way to this place. ”

"Emerald Palace? Isn't that the summer courtyard of the Green Emperor? When did you live in two living people? The queen looked around at the people. The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other, and no one answered.

Quietly stood up and walked up to the queen. "Are you Wan Yanzhao's eldest wife? I've been here for five days, and I'll do the math. Well, it's been five days! He didn't even support you? "Quietly, looking up and down at the queen." Oh, yes! The queen was stunned when asked. Everyone around was dumbfounded. Yaoqin was even more frightened.

Quietly slapped her leg, which startled the queen, "This is Yan Zhao!" It's always so clueless to do something! I robbed it halfway, no, I picked it up. My name is Quiet, what is your name, Queen? "My name is Dou Lihua!" The queen's mind was already blank. The palace man next to him just reacted. was about to rush out and reprimand, but was stopped by the queen.

The silence at this time is no longer quiet. "I should call you, Sister Lihua, be kind to this. Although it seems that you are much older than me. But I still have to call it that. Maybe, I will be Yan Zhao's little wife that day. The people on the side couldn't help but want to laugh.

Yaoqin secretly pulled the corner of her quiet skirt, "Why are you pulling me?" Quiet looked back at her. The queen asked the person next to her, "Is the steward of the Emerald Palace here?" After a while, a palace maid led an old eunuch over in a hurry.

The queen asked, "When did Emperor Qing crown the Lady of Yueguo?" Why didn't the celebrant tell me! The old eunuch knelt down and replied, "Back to the mother, this noble man has just entered the palace, and the emperor has just issued an edict, Mrs. Feng Yueguo, and she has not yet reported to the celebrant supervisor!" "Then why don't you teach her the etiquette and rules of the palace?" The queen was a little angry.

"It's the emperor's decree that the slaves and maids can't harass the lady, and can only serve the living and eating!" The eunuch was full of grievances.

The queen stood up and circled the silence. At this time, Jing Jing regretted his words just now. But she still pretended to be calm, "Li, Sister Lihua, no, Queen Mother, what do you want to do?" The queen sneered and said, "I don't want to do anything!" This palace is not a deserted village and a wild shop in your home. It's up to your temperament to talk and move! I'm going to teach you a little bit of the rules of the palace! ”

"You, you're not going to prick me with a needle, are you? I'm afraid it hurts! "Now, Quiet is really scared.

The queen patted the white fox fur gently, "This is the emperor's fortieth birthday, and my father gave him a birthday gift." Made of the skins of a hundred white foxes. It doesn't fit on you. Come! Take it off! The two palace maids couldn't help but say, and when they came up, they took off their fox furs.

"I don't hit you, I don't scold you. You, but I'm going to punish you! The queen said coldly. Drag it outside the warm pavilion. This minion hits twenty boards. This Mrs. Yue Guo made her kneel for three hours! You," she pointed to the old eunuch of the Emerald Palace, "you also kneel, looking at her!" ”

Under the willow trees by the lake. "This trick is worse than a beating!" Quietly trembling and kneeling, talking to himself. Yaoqin was lying on the bluestone next to her, her skirt almost stained red with blood.

The sky was dark, and the wind blowing from the water was even colder. The old eunuch complained to her, "Little master, don't blame me for committing the following crimes, I want to say two things to you." You don't cause trouble on earth, you want to trouble heaven! The queen is probably in a good mood today. Otherwise, the three of us might be companions under this water! ”

Jing Jing broke out in a cold sweat, "Grandpa Pi, don't scare me, I'm cowardly!" The old leather eunuch sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Little master, you see the picturesque scenery here. But you don't know how many lives there are in this pool! "Quiet feels that the cold in my body is not as cold as the cold in my heart.

Yaoqin crawled to Grandpa Pi's side, "Uncle Pi, you have a way, hurry up and let the emperor come and save us!" "Think of a! Hey, my old waist and legs! Father-in-law Pi sat down on the ground.

Quiet sneezed a few times and muttered, "I regret not wearing more clothes, it's all because of that wool dress!" Yaoqin, my head hurts so much, I want to sleep for a while. Yaoqin felt that something was wrong, so she quickly crawled over and touched it, shouting, "Madam, don't sleep yet!" Uncle Pi! Madame has a fever, hurry up and save people! Grandpa Pi climbed to the bridge, straightened his voice and shouted, "Come on!" Help me! Mrs. Yue Guo is sick! The mournful cry was heard far away in the night wind.

Someone on the other side of the bridge responded, "Is it Grandpa Pi?" Is Mrs. Yue Guo here? Grandpa Pi hurriedly shouted, "Here, it's all here, come and help!" Then he saw a black shadow, like an arrow, rushing towards him. Someone in the back was shouting, "Your Majesty, be careful!" Bridge slippery! Slow down! ”
