Entering Zhongcui Palace with Concubine Yu, the moment he stepped into the palace gate, his sleeves were immediately shocked by the beauty of the scenery in front of him.

In front of the palace gate is not as common as all palaces, in front of the main hall is an old-fashioned square courtyard, but a carved Pixiu title treasure shadow wall wall, that Pixiu mouth is holding a real round Hetian jade pearl.

Turning the shadow wall, a lotus pond spreads out in front of you.

Although the lotus pond is no different, what is amazing is that in the middle of winter, the lotus leaves in the pond are unexpectedly green and vibrant.

Huai Sleeve looked at the water in surprise, only to see the white mist swirling with the blue lotus, but he couldn't see the reason at all.

Concubine Yu was surprised when she saw her sleeves, and said with a faint smile: "In the pool in my palace, there is a perennial hot spring eye, even in the middle of winter, the pool water is still warm like the morning sun of spring, so the lotus flowers in the pool are not withered all year round." ”

Huai sleeve smiled: "No wonder, the lotus was born in early spring, grew up in midsummer, the most afraid of cold, and withered in autumn, my sister is so in the middle of winter in this palace, but you can see the blue lotus swaying, which can be called a wonder." ”

When Concubine Yu heard this, she smiled and said: "I often hear people say that your words are very beautiful, and if you speak like jade teeth and pearls, no one likes it, but today I heard it, and it is really true, no wonder the crescent moon follows you, and your teeth are so clever." ”

Huai Sleeve heard that Concubine Yu's words were half positive and half depreciating, but he only smiled silently.

Concubine Yu stretched out her hand to puff the hot spring water slowly spit out from the mouth of a crane carved from white marble, her eyes flowed, revealing a warm vein that she had never seen on weekdays, and her tone was softer than before.

"Back then, when I was first named a nobleman, I was pregnant with Princess Yuechun, and I was just punished for worshipping at that time, and I was entangled in all things in the court all day long, but I still asked Li Dequan to stay in my palace with the concert box.

I was weak at the time, but when I warmed my feet with my hands at night, I felt pity for me, and when I gave birth to the Dragon Ball, he gave me this Zhongcui Palace with hot springs, so that I bathed in hot springs every day, and my body was indeed much better than before."

"No wonder Niang Niang Fanghua has not decreased in the slightest for more than ten years, it turns out that Wan Sui Ye is so favored, even if we are jealous, it is impossible."

With a smile on his sleeves, he looked sideways, but saw a small door with a full moon opening in the center of the corridor leading to the apse next to the main hall.

This door is impartial, it is open in the middle of the corridor wall, and on the wall next to it, there is also a piece of red black ink stone carving of considerable volume.

Huai sleeve has always liked to look at the mural inscriptions carved in stone, especially the ink stone carving, seeing this one, unconsciously walked to the corridor.

Concubine Yu raised her eyes, and when she saw that her sleeves were suddenly walking towards the corridor, she frowned slightly and followed closely.

Walking into the corridor with his sleeves in his arms, he took a closer look at the ink stone carving.

Concubine Yu approached, and when she saw that Huai Sleeve had taken a closer look at the stone carving, she was curious: "My sister is so strange, how can I like to see this stone, is there something wrong with this article?"

Huai Sleeve looked at it carefully for a moment, and exclaimed: "This ink stone carving is the autumn phoenix fan picture of Tang Yin, a famous genius in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, there are many crafts such as relief carving, shallow carving, yin carving, openwork carving, etc., and hollow carving is also used in some places, which can carve the hard ink stone delicately to this point, this painting must come from everyone's handwriting."

Hearing Huai Sleeve's admiration, Concubine Yu smiled and said: "Sister's talent, sure enough, Zhaohua Zhuozhuo, no wonder Lord Banzai likes to listen to you, even I am obsessed." ”

While speaking, Concubine Yu saw that Huai Sleeve was about to walk to the moon gate, and said with a smile: "The palace people have already prepared hot tea, and if my sister doesn't go in again, I'm afraid the tea will be cold." ”

Huai Sleeve looked straight to the edge of the moon gate along the ink stone carving, and said with a light smile: "Sister, this palace is really full of treasures." As he spoke, he walked towards the main hall with Concubine Yu.

The furnishings in the main hall are naturally also full of treasure, auspicious bells, and a brilliant glass world.

Concubine Yu gave up her sleeves to sit on a rosewood chair covered with finch silk velvet cushions, and immediately a palace maid held a cup of tea with a rich beauty painted in enamel.

At a glance, he knew that this was a tribute from the border region, and Kangxi was even willing to reward Concubine Yu with such a valuable thing, which shows that he is indeed deeply attached to it.

Concubine Yu slowly picked up the tea cup, gently shook the lid of the cup, and was about to speak, when a small palace maid came in from outside, and said with a hanging face: "Yu Niangniang, Chen Gonggong of the Fangcai Internal Affairs Office came to ask for instructions, saying that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, where to use the incense candles and silver." ”

Concubine Yu frowned, and said angrily: "Didn't you see Concubine Yu Niangniang also kowtowing quickly, but talk first, it's time to tear your mouth."

When the little palace maid heard Concubine Yu say this, her legs trembled in fright, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

Concubine Yu didn't follow, and still wanted to ask someone to drag her out, but she said: "Sister Mo Qi, the edict of the concubine has not been announced, and most people in the palace don't know, Sister Mo hurt the harmony in the palace because of me, which makes me bad in the future." ”

Concubine Yu listened to Huai Sleeve's plea, turned her face and immediately smiled: "Sister, don't hurt you and me because of these ignorant minions."

After speaking, he turned to reprimand the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground with a calm face: "Although Concubine Yu intercedes for you today, but Long Live Lord has already made an edict, but you still despise the Venerable, go and get fifty ear scrapers, and remember it for a long time when you speak in the future."

The little palace maid was only grateful, kowtowed to her sleeve several times, turned around, and after a while, there was a crackling and slapping sound in the courtyard, which was also wrapped in the little palace maid's intermittent sobbing.

Concubine Yu seemed to be deaf, and continued to drink tea with a cup, but her sleeves quietly exchanged glances with Yingxue next to her.

Concubine Yu drank a few sips of tea, suddenly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Look at me, I thought about it before, but I forgot to clean it up" The words fell and said to the palace maid standing at the door: "Qingzhu, go and present the gift I prepared for Concubine Yu the day before yesterday." ”

Qingzhu answered, and after a while, he led two little eunuchs in, holding three or four boxes and a few brocades.

The little eunuch put down the box and brocade one by one, and turned away.

Concubine Yu stood up, put her hand on a few boxes and said with a smile: "These are a little bit of my sister's heart, I know that Long Live Lord loves you, I don't know how many good things have been sent, although these are all inconspicuous little things, but they are also a little bit of my thoughts, and my sister is not a joke." ”

Huai Sleeve knew that this ceremony could not be postponed, so he got up and bowed and said: "My sister has just entered the harem, thanks to my sister's love for such a lot, and I am sure in my heart"

Concubine Yu heard Huai Sleeve say this, slowly raised her eyes, looked at Huai Sleeve's lowered eyebrows, and said slowly in a low voice: "My sister is extremely smart, some things, as long as you look at them twice, you will definitely be able to distinguish between good and bad."

Huai Sleeve listened to Concubine Yu's words, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart
