Concubine Fang Cai felt that Kangxi was very cold to Huai Sleeve, which was completely different from when Mulan was around, and thought: Hmph, what kind of woman doesn't have in the emperor's harem? With what kind of talent and appearance you have, how can you stand tall in the harem without a sure mind? It's just that you little girl wants to win favor, and she is a little tender.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yu unconsciously drew a contemptuous chuckle at the corner of her lips, and asked in a lazy tone: "The princess didn't give a lesson to the princess today, where did you go?" ”

Huai Sleeve bowed and said: "Back to Niangniang's words, it's just a walk and passing by here." ”

Concubine Yu snorted coldly: "Heh! Walk? It's a long way off. ”

As she spoke, Concubine Yu seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and said to the maid behind her, "Go get a plain silk fan." The palace maid behind him answered, and after a while, she really took a plain white fan.

Concubine Yu took the fan, took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand and handed it to her sleeve, and said with a soft smile: "Since I bumped into the princess teacher at the door of the house today, I didn't prepare any gifts, this is a little bit of the concubine's heart, don't laugh at the princess!" ”

Huai Sleeve glanced at the fan handed in front of him, reached out to take it, held it between his hands, and knelt on the ground to thank him.

Concubine Yu sneered twice, turned around and walked into the palace, glanced at the sleeve kneeling at the door, and said coldly: "Close the door!" ”

I only heard a clang, and the two vermilion tall palace doors closed in front of Huai Sleeve, and in an instant, silence returned to Yongxiang.

Jian Yue stood up, pulled up her sleeves and said softly, "Girl, let's go." ”

Huai Sleeve slowly stood up, raised his face, his eyes moved up, and fell on the plaque in the middle of the palace gate, only to see three big characters written vertically above: Zhong Cui Gong Huai Sleeve stared at the three big characters painted in gold for a moment, the corners of his lips hooked a faint smile, and turned to leave.

Walking out of Yongxiang, where Concubine Yu's Zhongcui Palace is located, Jian Yue looked around at no one, turned over and over to look at the silk fan in her hand, and muttered in a low voice: "The weather is already cold, why did Concubine Yu give the girl this silk fan?" It's inexplicable! ”

Huai Sleeve smiled indifferently, and whispered in his mouth: "Thanks to Concubine Yu's good intentions, she really lifted me up!" ”

Jian Yue heard such a sentence without a head or brain, and became more and more confused, although she didn't know the meaning, but she also knew that Concubine Yu had always been difficult to get along with, and she guessed that there must be a reason for this fan, but she couldn't understand it for a while, and saw that Huai Sleeve's face was flat and didn't seem to be annoyed, so it was inconvenient to ask more at this time, so she quietly followed behind her.

The two walked for a while, the palace gradually thinned, looked around with their sleeves, and saw that this place was very quiet, and the artemisia grass in the brick joints was vigorous, and there seemed to be few people coming and going to trim it, and they couldn't help but wonder: "Jian Yue, are you sure you remember correctly?" How can I see that this is not like a place where concubines live? ”

"I've only heard about this place, but I've never been there." Jian Yue said as she looked around.

Seeing that this place is a little desolate, Jian Yue also had doubts in her heart, she still heard her uncle mention how remote the Xianru Palace where the concubine lived once was, according to what her uncle said, it should be good if it was around here.

When the two of them were struggling with no one to ask, they suddenly heard a crisp bell sound, and they were overjoyed and said, "It's the voice of the silver bell." "I looked around.

Jian Yue stretched out her hand and pointed, "Girl, look, there's a dog there." He looked at the fingers of Jian Yue with his sleeves, and sure enough, he saw a snow-white lump, and sniffed around while walking in the corridor not far away.

With joy, he walked to the dog in the corridor. "Silver Bell!" Walking behind the dog, the sleeve whispered.

The dog glanced back at her, and then ran to the feet of his arms and rubbed against the top of his head, as if very affectionate.

Huai Sleeve squatted down, reached out and stroked the soft and snow-white long hair of Yin Ling'er, and Yin Ling'er stretched out her pink and warm little tongue and licked it lightly in the palm of Huai Sleeve a few times.

"Hehe, you little thing still recognizes me!" Seeing that this dog is very humane, Huai Sleeve likes it more and more. At this time, a woman's voice was faintly heard not far away.

When Yinling'er heard this, she turned around and spread her four short legs and ran away. Huai Sleeve and Jian Yue looked in the direction of the dog's run, only to see Yin Ling'er pounce into the arms of a young palace maid.

The palace maid scolded Yinling'er a few words, picked up the dog and was about to turn around, but was stopped by her sleeve: "This girl stays!" ”

The palace maid heard someone calling, turned around and saw that Huai Sleeve and Jian Yue had walked in front of her, the little palace maid looked at the two of them slightly, saw that she didn't recognize it, and saw the dress of Huai Sleeve, she thought it was a concubine in the palace, and bowed down and said: "Slave Ling'er to Niang Niang to say goodbye." The little palace maid's voice was still immature when she spoke, but she was a little clever and cute.

Huai Sleeve heard her name call Ling'er, and asked with a smile: "Why is your name similar to this dog?" Who took it for you? ”

When Ling'er heard Huai Sleeve say this, she raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Huai Sleeve and Jian Yue, and made sure that she had never seen these two, so she couldn't help but ask, "How do you know the name of this dog?" ”

Huai Sleeve saw that this girl was interesting, and he teased her and smiled: "I know this little dog, so naturally I know its name, don't believe it." ”

Huai Sleeve said softly to call the dog in Ling'er's arms, and the dog was very smart, and when Huai Sleeve called him, he wagged his tail and barked twice.

Ling'er smiled when she saw it and said, "Sure enough, Yinling'er recognizes you, you must also recognize my master?" ”

Huai sleeve smiled: "I naturally know your master, but this is the first time I have come to visit, and I bother the girl to lead the way." ”

Ling'er saw that Huai Sleeve was handsome but not arrogant, and she suddenly had a good impression of her, and said crisply: "Come with me!" With that, he turned and walked to the other end of the corridor.

After a while, the three of them came to the door of a vermilion palace, looked up with their sleeves, and saw that there were three big characters written on it: Xianru Palace Ling'er led Huai Sleeve and Jian Yue to just step into the palace gate, and the silver bell in Ling'er's arms broke away from her arms and ran towards the courtyard.

Looking over with his sleeves, he saw a begonia tree in the center of the courtyard in full bloom, and under the flower tree stood a woman in Tsing Yi with wide shirts and cloud sleeves, who was a concubine.

"Huai'er ......" Qin Concubine was slightly stunned for a moment, hurriedly greeted her, stretched out her hand and shook her arms with her sleeves, except for a little surprise between her eyebrows, they were all happy.

"I didn't expect you to come suddenly, I just thought that you were worried about the princess's schoolwork all day long, so where did you have time to come to my remote place." The concubine took her by the hand of her sleeve, brought her into the hall, put her on the soft couch in the main hall, and hurriedly ordered the palace maid to serve refreshments.

"The princess has taken leave for the past two days, so I have time to come to see you, I wanted to come a long time ago." Huai Sleeve and Qin Concubine sat on the soft couch together, although they only met for the second time, they seemed to be old friends who had not seen each other for several years.

Some people see each other all day long, and they may not have deep feelings, while some people, only see each other once or twice, and then naturally intersect in their hearts, which may be what Buddhism calls fate.
