When he lowered his eyes, he saw the two people standing under the corridor of the hall, looking at each other for a moment, the woman smiled lightly at the sleeve, and the sleeve also smiled, and bowed her head slightly

At this time, a thick cloud rolled overhead, and the rain suddenly became louder, and the woman was shocked to hold an umbrella in one hand and hurriedly took the dog into her arms with the other arm, as if she was afraid of drenching it, and she loved the dog very much

"This time, the rain rushed in and avoided it," said the woman with a smile in his arms

When the woman saw that the clouds were pressing down and the rain was getting thicker and thicker, she was even more anxious, and she had no choice but to walk into the courtyard

Walking to the bottom of the corridor, put the oil-paper umbrella that had been completely wet on the side, put it down in her arms, and the dog woman turned around and smiled at her sleeve and saluted: "Princess Xie, stay for the time being, shelter from the rain."

"You know me," he said, in surprise

The woman replied with a smile: "Of course I know you, even if you are someone who has never seen you, who in this harem does not know that the princess who lives in Qingzhi Hall is the princess, and I have seen you again, you at the Yuexi banquet, the demeanor of the woman who does not let the eyebrows go, who can easily forget it."

She mentioned the Yuexi wine banquet, and her sleeves searched quickly in her mind, and the women she had seen at the banquet suddenly froze in her mind, and the women in front of her carefully identified her sleeves and chuckled: "You are a diligent concubine."

Concubine Qin smiled and nodded slightly: "The princess is really good at remembering"

Huai Sleeve let Qin Concubine into the house in exchange for Lian Bi instructed: "Go and bring a cup of red bean and barley tea"

After a short time of going out, Lian Bi came in with two cups, gently placed them on the small tea table next to her sleeve and concubine, and quietly withdrew

Walking to the door, I saw the snow-white puppy sitting obediently at the door, looking at the rainy courtyard, Lianbi walked past the dog, and the dog raised his face, looking at Lianbi with black onyx-like round eyes, Lianbi couldn't help but smile and whispered: "It's so loved"

"On a wet and cold day in the rain, warm up first," Huai sleeve said

The concubine always had a shallow smile on her face and drank herself

When I saw her for the first time, I felt that her expression and temperament were very different from the other concubines in the palace, and at this moment, I saw that she was trimming her eyebrows like sideburns, her nose was exquisite, and her cherry mouth was small, although she was not very big, but her face was slender and euphemistic, her face was like a crown and jade shoulders, if she was cut into a waist, she was delicate and petite, although her appearance was not beautiful, she was delicate and delicate, and she had a gentle and graceful charm, and even the hand holding the cup was a pretty orchid finger

Only between the eyebrows, the complexion is slightly depressed, as if there are years of weakness entangled, and the body is too thin and thin, so people can't help but worry about her body

Qin Concubine drank a few sips of the fine glutinous red bean and barley tea, and the warmth spread from the heart to the outside of the body, and suddenly felt comfortable, and gently rested the cup on the table, and said with a smile: "The princess is really clear-minded, and the tea soup is not good to drink on a wet and cold rainy day."

Huai Sleeve also took a sip and asked with a smile: "Why do you come out on a rainy day to relax, aren't you afraid of catching a cold in the rain?" Huai Sleeve thought that she must have come out with the dog to be idle

When Qin Concubine heard her ask, a nostalgic look appeared on her face, and she looked at the rain outside the window and said leisurely: "I love the rain in the capital on a rainy day, it's really pitiful."

"You're a southerner," he said

Suddenly, I suddenly remembered the beautiful Hanfu I wore at the tea banquet in the Yuexi Ning Lan Palace, as if I had heard the crescent moon say that it was brought back by the concubine from the southern province and given to her

Looking at her now, her appearance is really different from those Manchu women who grew up in the north and have a fiery and strong personality

Qin Concubine said with a smile: "The princess is so agile and has a heart, I am a person from Wujiang, Jiangsu."

Huai Sleeve was surprised, she didn't expect that Concubine Qin was a fellow villager with the respected teacher Wu Hancha, but she was inconvenient to mention the name of the respected teacher at the moment, but she didn't feel a little close to this concubine

"I can't complain that when I first saw you, I felt that the gentle charm of a Jiangnan woman was really guessed by me," Huai Sleeve said with a smile

Qin Concubine smiled and looked back at the room with her sleeves, which was originally a hall where guests were entertained every day, but because she loved to read all day long, she could hardly let go of the books, so many books were brought here by her from the study, and after a long time, a thick stack of books was placed on the rattan table and rattan chair by the window, and the other decorations were simple and elegant, and the most in the room was a few bottles of newly inserted chrysanthemums

"This heart hopes to ease the name of 'Qingzhi' on the lintel of this hall that Princess Yuanxiang is really worth"

Qin Concubine naturally heard the rumor that Huai Sleeve was deeply favored by the Holy Grace, and she must have been rewarded a lot, but she didn't expect her pavilion layout to be so restrained and simple, and the bookish fragrance was strong, and although she was wearing regular clothes, she was elegant and plain brocade and green shirt, showing her plain face, and her temperament was tranquil, and she couldn't help but appreciate it

"You don't call me a princess teacher, I really can't afford it, but I befriend the crescent princess and teach her to read roughly, or call me Huai Sleeve."

Huai Sleeve heard her say these few words, and knew that Qin Concubine was also a person who was beautiful, and she was even more appreciative, and she didn't like to be called a princess teacher, just listening to her mouth, a princess teacher's commensurateness, and her heart was already uncomfortable

Qin Concubine smiled and said: "Your position is the former harem of the emperor who issued an edict, and whoever dares to disrespect you is to resist the decree, how dare I"

Huai Sleeve listened to her move out of the emperor, and for a while he didn't know how to deal with it, lowered his eyebrows, and took a sip from his cup

Qin Concubine saw the regret on her face, and she couldn't bear it, in fact, she had already heard from the mouth of the crescent moon that Huai Sleeve had many good moons and nights, and on the day of the banquet, she realized that this woman was extraordinary, and she thought that she had such a talent, and most of them were talented, and it was not easy to get close

Today's talk is so easy and kind, without the slightest arrogance, and the concubine likes it in her heart

After thinking for a moment, Concubine Qin smiled and said: "The rules of the palace, you and I naturally have to take care of this, how about we exchange names when there is no one in private."

Huai Sleeve heard the smile and asked, "Then what do I call you?"

Qin Concubine smiled: "My real name is Lin Xilan, you call me Xilan"

Huai cuff whispered: "Xilan is really a good name" Praise continued: "I am a Manchu banner person, should take the Manchu name, but my grandmother is very fond of Sinology, so she gave me a Chinese name, Huai sleeve, when I was at home, my father and brother called me Huai'er, you call me the same."

"Huai'er" Qin Concubine smiled and smiled, and the more the two chatted, the more speculative they felt, and they didn't know when the rain outside the window had stopped

"Jingle bell......" The silver bell rang crisply, the dog couldn't bear to run into the hospital, and the concubine looked out the window to see the shower just now, and she wanted to get up and say goodbye

"I asked you for a cup of tea today, and I didn't thank you for staying in the rain, please go to my palace to drink tea and talk another day," Qin Concubine got up and smiled

Huai Sleeve originally wanted to stay longer, but when he saw that the thick clouds had not abated, he was afraid that it would rain heavily for a while, so he got up and sent him to the courtyard: "The weather is not good today, and I will go to your palace to visit you in person another day."
