Gao Weihu said in a low voice: "Xiao Chu, thank you for your hard work." ”

Xiao Chu saw her soft gaze, and a little warmth overflowed in his heart, and he smiled: "I should." ”

Everyone was finally relieved after knowing that Liu Yingjiang was fine, Gao Weihu thought that Gu Yanran didn't know it and hurriedly sent a letter to her, presumably she could rest assured knowing the news.

A banquet was being held in the palace, and the Empress Dowager saw that these days were getting warmer, so she held a flower-viewing party for all the concubines to attend.

"Niangniang, the emperor of the Hundred Flowers Club will also go today." Concubine Xiao Guifei sat in front of the mirror platform, listening to the palace maid behind her whispering, her lips hooked up a faint smile: "The emperor hasn't gone down to the early court yet, right?" ”

"I'm afraid there will be some time." The palace maid asked tentatively: "Which dress does the mother want today?" This batch of palace clothes from the embroidery room and the new tribute still haven't worn any of them. ”

The palace maid on the side was holding all kinds of clothes in her hands, Xiao Ruyan got up and walked to the palace clothes to look at them, and finally pointed to the light purple tassel embroidery and said, "That's it." ”

"Niangniang is now dressing more and more elegantly, and the last time Niangniang wore a plain dress, she was secretly sarcastic by that concubine." Xiao Ruyan's personal palace maid muttered, Xiao Ruyan hooked her lips and smiled: "What's the hurry......"

But those who provoked her Xiao Ruyan, few of them had a good end.

She changed into the light-colored clothes, and saw that the time was almost up, so she took the palace maid and headed towards the imperial garden, and just after walking a few steps, she saw the concubine who was walking here, she bent down and saluted herself, "The concubine has seen the concubine." ”

"It turned out to be Sister Lifei, get up." Xiao Ruyan said lightly: "Since I met my sister so coincidentally, let's go to the Imperial Garden together." ”

"Sister's clothes today are so elegant." Li Concubine smiled and said: "But this embroidery is very delicate, and the sister of the lining is more and more radiant." ”

Xiao Ruyan glanced at her and chuckled: "I haven't seen Sister Li Concubine for many days, this mouth is still very coincidental, but now this palace is not the same as before, and my sister should say these nice words to the one in Yiyue Palace." ”

"Niangniang laughed, no matter what the situation in this palace is, my sister has always respected my sister in my heart, and I only know Concubine Xiao but not Concubine Zhen." The meaning between Concubine Li's words was already obvious, Xiao Ruyan gently stroked her headdress and said a little lazily: "Sister Concubine Li is really surprising, the harem knows that the concubine is favored by the emperor. ”

Concubine Li chuckled and shook her head: "The concubines are different from them, they have no intention of touching that half of the grace, but they are a little bored after a long time and want to chat with their sister." ”

"Our mother is busy with the customary harem, so we don't have any idle time to chat." Xiao Ruyan's personal palace maid said, Concubine Li immediately said: "Sister rest assured, my sister will naturally share her worries for her sister in the future, if my sister doesn't believe it, just wait." ”

Xiao Ruyan raised her eyebrows and said, "Since Concubine Li is so confident, how can there be a reason for this palace to be unequal?" ”

The two walked side by side towards the Imperial Garden, and walked for about ten minutes to reach the Imperial Garden, at this time most of the concubines in the garden had already come, and they were each taking the palace maid to enjoy the flowers, and they were talking a few words from time to time, and the scene was really a little harmonious.

"What's the future?" Concubine Li looked around, and indeed didn't see the figure of Liu Wu'er, Xiao Ruyan gently stroked a canna in the garden and said casually: "Now that she has come forward, she is going to move more and more." ”

"Who knows, but it's really strange that this concubine has been favored for so long and doesn't have a son and a half daughter."

"Huailonghei, this depends on the blessing, I think that the concubine can be favored so far, those little blessings have been exhausted......"

"Take your seats." The voice of the Empress Dowager sounded, and those concubines found seats one after another to sit down, and when Xiao Guifei passed by the two concubines who chewed the root of her tongue, she leaned over and said, "Concubine Zhen cares about the dragon heir the most, she heard what you said, but she didn't have a good life." ”

The two concubines were shocked to find that Xiao Guifei was behind them, their faces suddenly turned pale, Xiao Ruyan hooked her lips and smiled, and slowly walked to her seat and sat down with the support of the palace maid, leaning lazily on her posture and enjoying her style.

"These days are very warm, and the flowers in the imperial garden are also blooming well, I am afraid that you are all bored in the palace and miss this beautiful scenery, so I asked you to come together to enjoy the flowers." The Empress Dowager smiled, looked at Liu Yu'er who was sitting below and said: "Concubine Zhen is the most clever, she watched the flowers bloom well in the garden, and sent a lot of flowers to Cining Palace early, what a filial good child." ”

Liu Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled: "It's good if the Empress Dowager likes it, the entire palace is the best flower for the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the flowers cultivated are extremely beautiful, and the flowers sent by the concubines are not worth mentioning." ”

"Sister Zhen Concubine is really clever, not only thinking about sending flowers to the Queen Mother to watch, but also personally boiling soup and sending it to the imperial study every day, it really doesn't fall anywhere." A concubine covered her mouth and smiled, with a bit of flattery in her words: "The concubine has no such intentions." ”

"Even if you have such a thought, I'm afraid that if you send it over, it won't be any affection, just a little courteous and flattering." A concubine said bluntly, what she said made the concubine a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing, Liu Xu'er smiled: "The Empress Dowager always talks to the concubines about the desertion in the Cining Palace, if the sisters are free to go to the Cining Palace with the concubines to accompany the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager will be very happy." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "What Concubine Zhen said is that you should also move around the palaces more." ”

"Sister Zhen is willing to wash her hands and make soup for the emperor, she really has a heart." Xiao Ruyan gently stroked her Kou-colored nails and said indifferently: "If you accidentally hurt those slender jade hands, the emperor will be distressed." ”

"Thank you sister for telling me, my sister will definitely be careful." Liu Yu'er smiled, and was not afraid of Xiao Ruyan's gaze, now Xiao Ruyan is not a powerful opponent in her heart, a concubine who has no grace and only a little family background.

"The emperor has arrived." Gui Xi's voice came, and all the concubines showed joy on their faces, and they all bowed down and saluted: "The concubines see the emperor." ”

"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother." Beitang Jinyu walked quickly to the Empress Dowager and bowed, and the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Jinyu is here, take a seat." ”

Beitang Jinyu sat on the high seat, Liu Xu'er and Xiao Guifei were on his left and right respectively, his eyes swept over the concubines and concubines, and finally looked at the empress dowager and said: "Imperial grandmother, how can you reward the concubines for letting the concubines sit on this hundred flowers?" ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "The emperor should not be in a hurry, let them put the flowers on the table." She gestured to the eunuch beside her, and the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice: "Hundreds of flowers." ”

A group of palace maids walked in with all kinds of flowers and respectfully placed them on the table in front of the concubines, each of which looked like it had its own style.

"These flowers are carefully selected by the mourning family, what do you think?" The Empress Dowager smiled, and Liu Yu'er looked at the pot of Junzi Orchid placed in front of her and smiled: "This Junzi Lan is elegant and pure, vaguely fragrant, and smells very good." ”

"This pot of impatiens is also extremely outstanding, the color is beautiful and slim, and the mood is much more comfortable at a glance." Concubine Li said with a smile, looked at Liu Xu'er and said: "Concubine heard that Concubine Zhen's sister likes lotus flowers the most, and the pond full of lotus flowers outside the imperial garden doesn't know if my sister has a past?" ”

Liu Xu'er was a little unhappy when she heard this, this concubine actually poked her pain, that day on the lotus pond she caused the emperor to be displeased because of a momentary gaffe, and now she is a little afraid to think about it, this concubine is really a pot that can't be opened, she was about to speak to dismiss it, but she didn't expect Xiao Ruyan to answer: "Sister Li Concubine has not been out of the dormitory for a long time, but I don't know that the emperor and Concubine Zhen enjoyed the lotus together the day before yesterday." ”

Her eyes looked at Liu Wu'er, with a little provocation, the hand in Liu Wu'er's sleeve clenched the nails and wanted to be embedded in the flesh, but she still did not change her face and said: "At this moment, it is summer, and the lotus flowers naturally bloom well, but if it is said that the best flowers are naturally these flowers in front of you at this moment, they are all carefully selected by the Queen Mother." ”

She said and glanced at Beitang Jinyu, and saw that there was no displeasure or anger in his eyebrows, and her heart was a little lighter.

"I heard that the music team has recently changed a batch of dancing girls, and all of them are dancing in the city, so it's better to watch them together today." Xiao Ruyan smiled faintly, the palace maid next to her quickly went down to pass the word, and slowly the sound of the sheng flute sounded, and a group of dancers in green clothes stepped into the imperial garden with light steps in light gauze long skirts, and the water sleeves danced in a graceful posture, showing endless femininity.

When those dancers in green clothes raised their hands and gently turned in a circle and then dispersed, a woman in white flew out, her long hair was scattered with a light veil, she turned around and danced to draw a soft arc, fixed her eyes and slowly looked at Beitang Jinyu, the veil fell just right to reveal a delicate face, and a faint smile was hooked on her lips, but it made Liu Wu'er on the side face a little pale.

Xiao Guifei raised her eyebrows with a little laziness: "After a few years, how can you still dance that amazing dance, it is really as my sister said to make a laughing stock." ”

"My sister is too humble." Concubine Li took Xiao Ruyan's words and said, "But if you think about it carefully, I really haven't seen Jinghong for many years." ”

"What's so hard about that? A few days ago, I passed by the music platform and saw that this dancing girl was dancing amazingly, which was very beautiful. Xiao Ruyan said with a smile, and looked at Beitang Jinyu: "Your Majesty, all the sisters are here today, why don't you let this dancing girl dance?" Dancing to add to the elegance of flower appreciation. ”

"Hmm." Beitang Jinyu responded simply, slowly drinking the tea, and the emotion in his eyes was unclear.

The dancing girl changed into red clothes, and danced slowly with the music, the movements were soft and light and the yarn was elegant, and the smile was even more seductive, and there was quite a charm between the sleeves, and there was lingering affection in the eyes of Beitang Jinyu, and the slightest thread continued.

Beitang Jinyu's gaze fell on the dancing girl, and her expression was still a little indifferent.

The dancing girl was spinning and dancing, the red light yarn was quite elegant in the wind, she was about to jump and jump, suddenly her feet were unstable and she almost fell, after standing firmly, she heard the light laughter from around her, clearly with mockery, she quickly knelt down and said with panic in her eyes: "Slave maid...... The slave and maid are guilty, please punish the emperor. ”

Beitang Jinyu slowly drank the tea, and glanced at Xiao Ruyan on the side inadvertently, seeing that she seemed a little nervous, he said lightly: "It's okay, let's continue." ”

The rhyming eyes were full of surprise, and he continued to dance the shocking dance, Xiao Ruyan smiled on his lips with a somewhat smug and provocative gaze and looked at the willow catkins opposite, and his eyes were quite a bit of gunpowder.

Beitang Jinyu's eyes still fell on Xu Hanyun, but his thoughts became ethereal.

Hearing them talk about the Amazing Dance, he remembered that a few years ago, when Gao Weihu entered the palace, she was also dressed in red clothes for ten miles, but at that time he was very disgusted with her, and he did not stay in Qifeng Palace on the day of the wedding.
