"Look at my sister going in this direction, eighty percent of them are going to see Qin Concubine," Concubine Hui asked with a light smile. :7777772e766f6474772e636f6d

Huai Sleeve nodded lightly: "Concubine Qin is weak, everyone in the palace knows it, she lives in a remote place, if I am free, I will often accompany her, and it will not be too lonely in her palace." ”

Concubine Hui nodded with a smile: "I know that you have a good heart, only one thing to remind you is that Long Live Lord does not like to move around more between the harem concubines, although you are now honored and favored, you should also be afraid, so as not to make Long Live Lord unhappy." ”

Before, Concubine Yu had reminded her that she didn't want Concubine Hui to say the same today, it seems that this is the palace rules that the harem concubines all know.

Huai Sleeve gently bowed his head: "Sister Xie carefully taught, Huai Sleeve must remember in my heart that I went to see the Qin Concubine, and I was also promised by the Long Live Lord, but I also have a sense of proportion in my heart." ”

When Concubine Hui heard this, she couldn't help but sigh quietly: "Concubine Qin is in the palace, there are sisters like you, but it is really a blessing for others in the harem, in this lonely harem, there is someone to talk about."

Huai Sleeve heard Concubine Hui sigh so much, couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her, only to see Concubine Hui slightly raised her sharp chin, her already fair skin was almost transparent by the sun, and her gentle eyes fell on the hanging eaves in the opposite city wall, clear and leisurely eyes, lonely and lonely.

Such a look made Huai Sleeve suddenly feel that it was wrapped around this luxurious palace concubine, and there was a strong and indissolvable darkness.

Is Concubine Hui lonely?

But why do people who accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern all day long have such a strong sense of loneliness

Bid farewell to Concubine Hui, boarded the sedan chair with his sleeves in his arms, and continued to move forward with such doubts.

In the scorching summer, outside the Xianru Palace of the diligent concubines, although it is still quiet and lonely, it is also a verdant greenery, with moss marks on the stairs, and the grass color comes into view, which also adds a lot of lush and prosperous atmosphere.

The golden silk sedan chair with sleeves stopped in front of the door of Xianru Palace, and it was still Fuquan who stepped forward to buckle the door knocker, but he didn't hear the cheerful cry of the silver bell

"Concubine Yu is here" Yinling'er opened the door, and when she saw her sleeves, she immediately went to the yard.

"Why don't you hear the cry of the little silver bell these days, usually as soon as my bowl landed, it ran out." Walking inward with his sleeves, he laughed with Silver Bell.

"We were also wondering, we saw it in front of the door just now, and we didn't know where it went in a blink of an eye."

When Silver Bell spoke, she gave up her sleeve to the dormitory.

At this time, the concubine had just taken a nap and was idle, embroidering a handkerchief on the window.

When she entered the door with her sleeves, Qin Concubine was carefully cutting the thread on the back of the handkerchief with a sharp knife.

"In the summer season, you are rare to be in body for several days, why bother to do these heart-wrenching work, there are so many embroidery girls in the palace weaving, you are indispensable" Every time I see the concubine, I can't help but babble a few words.

Qin Concubine shook off the thread on the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "I'm too lazy to do it, but what I gave you is naturally made by me, so it can be regarded as a heart." ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he was surprised to take the handkerchief in the hand of the concubine, and saw that on the light cyan ice silk square handkerchief, there were half-open lotus calyxes embroidered with swaying raw materials.

"It's so beautiful," he said, holding it in his hand and looking at it repeatedly.

Concubine Qin reached out and pulled into her sleeve, and pulled out the old handkerchief that she had used before.

It is embroidered with a delicate golden flame meadowsweet, which is still the first princess of the Huai Sleeve Division, and she inadvertently entered the Qingzhi Hall to hide from the rain, and gave the Huai Sleeve a meeting gift.

Three years have passed, and the original gorgeous golden flame meadowsweet has been washed and faded, but this handkerchief has always been carried on the body, and now it has been sealed as a concubine and has not been replaced.

"I gave you a piece of Xipa embroidered with happiness and happiness a few years ago, why haven't I seen you use it?"

"That handkerchief is so beautiful, I don't want to use it, it's still in the box at my bedside," as he spoke, he put the new handkerchief into the sleeve and put away the old one.

took a sip of sour plum juice, and said with his sleeve in his arms: "I came to look for you today, but I want to ask you about something." ”

Qin Concubine put down the teacup and looked at her, listening to Huai Sleeve continue.

"Do you have the custom of folding white paper boats over there in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Qin Concubine listened to Huai Sleeve ask this, frowned and said: "Whatever we put into the river over there, most of them are related to sacrifices, such as putting river lanterns, and then water burials."

"Is there a small white paper boat in the water?" asked Huai Sleeve again.

Qin Concubine thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen a small white paper boat in the river, but in our Jiangnan side, it is common to put river lanterns, and there are two kinds of river lanterns."

One is colorful, usually made in the shape of plum blossoms or lotus flowers from the daughter's house before leaving the pavilion, painted with bright colors, and a small red candle is lit in the middle, and placed in the river at night, in order to pray that he can find a good man. ”

"What about the other one," Huai Sleeve asked anxiously.

"The other is a white square river lantern with a white candle in the middle to pray for the safe ascension of the deceased family to heaven"

Huai Sleeve heard Concubine Qin say this, frowned and thought for a while, and whispered: "Who is Bacheng paying tribute to?"

Seeing Huai Sleeve say this, Qin Concubine couldn't help but smile and asked: "Why do you suddenly remember this Qiao Zong, do you also want to put a river lantern and pray for a big fat boy?"

Huai Sleeve heard her say this, glanced at her, and smiled: "I see that you have been thinking about this all day long, and there is nothing serious."

Qin Concubine smiled: "Heh, don't be complacent now, wait until there is no movement for a while, it's strange to see if the ancestor doesn't urge you to ask."

Huai Sleeve was surprised, and looked at Qin Concubine with wide eyes: "You can't have been asked at the beginning, right?"

Qin Concubine was suddenly asked, immediately blushed, waved her hand and said, "Don't talk about me, in short, you will know after a while." ”

Huai Sleeve thought to himself, uh-huh, I've been waiting for a while, and I've already started to ask

Qin Concubine turned the topic back to the river lantern and asked curiously: "Good and decent, what is the use of you asking this?"

Huai sleeve sighed lightly: "A while ago, I heard that Yueqiu said that Yuehe avoided people and secretly put a small white paper boat in the small stream in the back garden, I knew that she was also your Jiangnan villager, so I wanted to inquire with you, so as not to ask directly, it was not good to poke at the sore spot of others." ”

When the concubine heard this, she said: "The last time I went to see you, I heard the accent of the two sisters, and I knew that they were also from the land of Wu Yue.

Huai Sleeve shook his head: "I heard Qingmei say that there is only one old father and his brother in the family who live together, and when her mother died early, her two sisters were still young, and the rest of her relatives died. ”

When Huai Sleeve spoke, he suddenly thought of a little and said: "But it was rumored that the palace maid in Concubine Yu's palace died again a while ago, it seems that it was that time, and Yuehe's mind seems to be very heavy."

Concubine Qin frowned and asked, "Isn't she the person in Concubine Yu's palace?"
