When I woke up early in the morning and opened my eyes, I was still caught in the dark gray roving tent that I had left down last night.

"Little Lord, are you awake?"

"Hmm." Yao Chuxi only responded lightly, and rubbed his sleepy eyes casually.

The palace maid who had just spoken walked over quickly, neatly pulled up the tent, and hung it at the head of the bed with a string.

"It's raining, today is the day to enjoy the flowers in the palace?"

"No, the little master needs to dress up better today, I heard that the emperor is also going."

The emperor also goes? Hearing this, Yao Chuxi was stunned for a long time.

What if the emperor also goes? What about dressing up? It's just a lonely life in this deep palace, and it's been silent for more than two years, where will there be a chance?

What's more, how could those women who were jealous of her face let her show her face in front of the emperor?

I remember the last time I saw the emperor, when I first entered the palace two years ago. It was dark and stuffy, there was no sunlight, and it was like it was going to rain at any moment. There are sixteen show girls scattered with her, trying to dress up the most beautiful, and the worry of competing for beauty makes the emperor take a second look.

But they didn't catch up with the good time, it happened that the queen mother had just passed away, and the emperor was once in grief, where did he have the leisure to choose these beauties who had passed a few levels and were only selected by him? So he waved his hand, and everyone rewarded the talent, but he didn't look at anyone's face.

Like this kind of five-grade small talent, it can be said that they can grab a lot of money, and naturally everyone can't live in a dormitory, so all the beauties live in the back garden, and they are under the management of Ji Linghai, the head of the back garden.

Ji Linghai was also a worry-free person, he didn't even come out in person, and instructed his apprentices to arrange a place for these talented people.

Yao Chuxi was assigned to Yunyan Pavilion, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and she has really become a cloudy smoke, and she hasn't even made a splash after two years. On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of entering the palace, singing songs in the Falling Plum Garden, it was "unfortunate" heard by the emperor, and she was summoned that night, and she was promoted to beauty before the half moon arrived, and the next year she was promoted to Jieyu, and she moved out of the Yunyan Pavilion on the day of promotion.

The West Hall has been empty for more than a month, and Yao Chuxi is still very happy in his heart, after all, the boundary of Huayan Pavilion is too small, and it is inevitable that two people will not be able to live together. Who would have thought that a month later another one would be crammed in?

This time it was Xiao Meiren who lived with her, I heard that it was abolished from Zhaorong, but she didn't ask about the specifics, maybe she made some mistake and was rejected by the emperor. On weekdays, the two have little intersection, they don't meet or talk almost every day, and occasionally take a picture is also a sentence or two, turn around and you do yours and I do mine, like no one knows anyone. It's not that Yao Chuxi deliberately pretended to be high, but Xiao Meiren was not close to her, and she often raised her hand to hit the smiling person, and over time she became a stranger.

I have to admit that Yao Chuxi is an out-and-out beauty, otherwise her father would not have sent her to the palace with a silver trust, waiting for the day when she was powerful, and the Yao family could entrust her blessings. But two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I'm afraid my father's wish has been disappointed.

Most of the talented people who entered the palace with her were summoned, among which Xu Cairen, Cao Cairen, and Luo Cairen all won the Jin Seal, but why was the most beautiful Yao Chuxi submerged? The blame is on the jealousy of women, the women in the palace saw Yao Chuxi's beautiful face, and prevented her from sleeping, so that she never saw the emperor after she lived in the back garden, so that the emperor never knew that there was such a person as her.

Today's flower-viewing is to celebrate the birthday of the queen's mother, and the emperor personally held a flower-viewing banquet for her. At noon, those concubines who had heads and faces and could get on the stage all went to the Fengluan Hall to eat, and in the afternoon, it was their turn to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

I heard that the emperor and queen will go to this flower-viewing banquet, and the women in the back garden have done their best, whether it is dressing or behaving and talking, they are all trying to cater to the emperor.

"Little master, the new clothes you made this year haven't been worn yet, why don't you wear them today?"

There are two new clothes in the first quarter, but Yao Chuxi's new clothes this summer only have a light cyan embroidered begonia skirt, and another dark apricot red embroidered white plum water wave skirt was asked for by Cao Meiren in the Lanyue Pavilion next door, saying thank you sorry sorry polite words, and then mentioned that the emperor likes to see me wear apricot red.

Or Yao Chuxi has a good temperament and doesn't care about her. Besides, she is a beauty who has served and slept in bed, she is just a talented person with no favor and no position, how can she compete with her?

"Then wear the new one." Yao Chuxi took a picture of the bronze mirror and gently combed it with a comb a few times, "Has the breakfast been passed on?" ”

"The snow has gone." Luo Yu said in a low voice, and reached out to take the comb in Yao Chuxi's hand.

After a while, the snow came back at a trot and almost hit Jiang Liu head-on.

"Sister Luoxue, is there anything behind you?" Jiang Liu held a broom in one hand and pinched his waist in the other, laughing at the falling snow.

"Shut up for me!" Luoxue was also a little embarrassed, grabbed the dustpan on the ground on the side, and gently hit Jiang Liu, "The little master is awake?" ”

"Wake up, you go in."

Luoxue didn't bother with him much after hearing this, and walked into the house quickly.

"I heard you enter the courtyard in the house." Yao Chuxi and Luo Yu smiled together, only to see that Luo Xue's face was red to the base of his neck, "The little master will laugh at the slave!" ”

"How is it a joke? I'm afraid there is no woman running like you in the entire back garden. ”

"Little Lord, stop talking!" Luoxue pretended to be angry, and stomped her feet lightly, "If you arrange the slave and maid again, the slave and maid will not tell you that the dish made in the dining room this morning is steamed osmanthus fish." ”

One sentence took Yao Chuxi, after all, her favorite food from childhood to adulthood was fish.

After less than a tea time, Jiang Liu went to the dining room to get breakfast and came back, and put it on the table one by one.

It is said to be a plate, but in fact, it is just a steamed osmanthus fish, a vegetarian fried bamboo shoots, a refreshing cold dish and a bowl of porridge.

On the one hand, a small talented person with a low grade will be passed out if he eats too well, and Yao Chuxi controls this very well. On the other hand, she felt that there was no need to eat too greasy for breakfast, and she heard the older generation of Shanggong mention that after Xu Cairen was promoted to Xu Jieyu, she asked for thirteen dishes for breakfast, and only ate one or two bites of each dish, so why bother?

Today is the same boredom as ever, Yao Chuxi reads books, plays chess, and one afternoon passes.

"Little Lord, it's afternoon, you have to pack up and get ready to go to the Imperial Garden."

"Got it." Yao Chuxi put down the book in his hand and stood up gently.

After reading it for a long time, I didn't remember anything in the book, but I only remembered the sentence 'May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night and night streamers will be bright and clean.' ’

When I watched it for the first time, Yao Chuxi only thought it sounded good, and only after digging deeper did I realize the emotion of mutual affection.

Changing into new clothes, the rain quickly curled Yao Chuxi's hair into Lingyun sideburns, and inserted a tassel at the root of the hair. I opened the drawer and took out the eyebrows to draw the eyebrows, and the tail of the eyebrows was deliberately drawn thinner, which showed that she was in good spirits. Finally, she applied some blush to her cheeks, dipped her middle finger in the lipstick in the round box, and gently applied it to her lips.

"Little master, are you satisfied?" Luo Yu took a bronze mirror in front of him, and Luo Xue took a bronze mirror in the back, in order to let Yao Chuxi see more clearly.

"I think it's good, thank you for your hard work."

This is just a verbal word, no matter how beautiful she is, it is useless, she has no chance to stand in front of the emperor at all.

In the Fengluan Palace.

Under the service of the palace maids, the queen slowly took off the phoenix robe that she had worn for a long time, and put on a palace dress with golden embroidered peony flowers, as if to say to the women in the harem, "This palace is the emperor's favorite woman, and you are just some small wild flowers that are not eye-catching!" 'Same.

"Niangniang celebrates her birthday today, and the emperor sent someone to send so many gifts, I'm afraid that others will blush when they see it."

"Those gifts are just faces, and the emperor's company is really worth showing off." The queen couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief in her hand.

"Mother, the time has come." Ding Zhou, the chief eunuch of Fengluan Palace, walked in with his waist and said in a low voice.

"Got it, take control of the garden."

According to the grade, what kind of female Baolin talent and beauty will naturally arrive first.

"Little master, look, Xu Jieyu is here." Luoxue reminded Yao Chuxi in a whisper, and his elbow gently turned to the side.

looked at Xu Jieyu carefully, that face was no different from her before, the same sour and mean, but her figure was much plumper compared to before she moved out of Yunyan Pavilion. The palace maid who was supporting her on the side was much more slender than her, and when she looked up at her face, Yao Chuxi only felt familiar, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that her name was Su Hong, and she was serving Xu Jieyu when she was in Yunyan Pavilion before.

That's right, you have to use thirteen dishes for breakfast, is it possible not to grow meat?

Yao Chuxi sat quietly in the pavilion, blocking rows of people in front of him, all worried about squeezing to the side of the gravel road again, saving the emperor from noticing himself when he came for a while.

The last mouthful of tea in the cup slowly flowed into his throat, and Yao Chuxi couldn't help but sigh, the tea leaves taken out from the Fengluan Hall were really different from the ordinary tea leaves in Yunyan Pavilion.

Finally came out for a trip, and when she met a good tea, she naturally had to drink enough, and she didn't wait for the rain to come and pour the tea, she personally picked up the teapot and poured the tea.

"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived!"

Hearing this, Yao Chuxi instantly panicked, she was so special among the kneeling concubines, she quickly put away her hand but didn't hold the teapot and teacup, she fell to the ground crackling, and her hot arm was light red.

Hearing this voice, the emperor couldn't help but turn his head to find the source of the sound, so he turned around with everyone and saw Yao Chuxi.

"What's going on?" Separated by a few people, the emperor frowned slightly and looked at Yao Chuxi, who was kneeling in the pavilion with his head buried deeply, "Raise your head and reply." ”

Who would dare not listen to the emperor's words? Yao Chuxi had to raise her head obediently, and it happened that the breeze blew, blowing down two dark pink rose petals, which landed on top of her head, and the blow swayed gently, making an ethereal collision sound at the moment when others didn't dare to pant loudly.

"Back to the emperor, I blame the ministers and concubines for panicking, please forgive the emperor."

Yao Chuxi knelt on the ground in a daze, and felt that his tongue was numb when he spoke, seeing that the emperor had not spoken, he thought that he was angry, and he was even more nervous.
