Having said that, my heart is sad after all. There were clouds in the sky that were dark and heavy over the imperial city, half of the blue and clear sky, half of which was dark and devastating, and in less than a moment, it crackled and rained the size of beans. Hai'an saw that the rice paper was wasted, so he said in a low voice: "Master, the slave will change a piece of paper for you." Qingcheng was slightly stunned, but he had already put down his pen and said, "Don't write it, just accept it." She walked to the bottom of the corridor with her stomach up, and Er Qi hurriedly moved the rattan chair, pretending to be happy: "It's finally raining, and the weather has been dry these days, and it's so hot that I can't sleep well at night." After a while, he said: "Just now, Jing Tao passed the word and asked the master what he wanted to eat for snack?" ”

Qingcheng looked straight at the gurgling rain curtain, a smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered: "The free flying flowers are as light as a dream, and the boundless rain is as thin as sorrow." It doesn't matter what you eat, it's just to fill your stomach. Er Qi couldn't understand the verses, only vaguely felt that the light mist was shrouded, and everything around her body seemed to be shrouded in a thin veil, which made people feel sad for no reason.

By the time of the lantern, the summer rain had stopped, and the air was wrapped in the fragrant fragrance of grass, and the water beads were rolling on the broad plantain leaves, and when the wind blew, they suddenly fell. Jing Tao waited for Qingcheng to have a late snack, stayed in the kitchen and watched everyone clean the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the cabinet and lock them, Fang quietly carried a melon peel palace lamp, and went out from the corner door at night. She deliberately wore a gray and gray bleak dress, and her steps were fast, and if she met a familiar palace person, she hurriedly turned her back and did not greet her.

The lights in the Yangxin Hall were bright, and the emperor summoned the envoys of the court in the Taihe Palace, and he was sitting in front of the Qingyu case to approve the folding. Wu Shulai led Jing Tao in and said in a low voice: "Long live Lord, Jing Tao is here." Jing Tao knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Master Wanfu Jin'an." The emperor kept his hands on him, only humming.

Jing Tao replied: "The pure master's appetite is not very good these days, and he can hardly eat meat, and now the slave maid thinks of a way to use ginseng and chicken soup to boil lotus leaf porridge carefully, and eats half a bowl." Tomorrow, the slave and maid are ready to use this year's Xingong's lotus seed powder to save silk, so that the pure master can taste it. Again—" She paused for a moment and said boldly: "The pure master is depressed all day long, and the slave and maid have come up with food that they have come up with, and she is just tasting it, and looking at the situation, she has lost weight." The hall was silent, and she lowered her head and looked at the golden bricks on the ground, which looked like mirrors, and felt as if an invisible force pressed against her neck, making her panic.

The rosewood Western self-striking bell clicked and walked, and suddenly the sound of the "bell" scared Jing Tao into a big jump. Only then did the emperor speak, and said: "She is from Suzhou, you can prepare more snacks from Suzhou and Hangzhou." Jing Tao thought that he still had to order, but she didn't want to stop abruptly, seeing that the emperor had already picked up the pen and wrote, she kowtowed and knelt down, tiptoeing back.

Turning around to the bottom of the corridor, he bumped into Lin Guiren who came to serve the pen and ink, and Lin Guiren called affectionately: "Jing Tao." "When she was on an errand in front of the queen, she often had a word to spread the word to the Heart Palace, and it was always Jing Tao who was connected with her. Both of them are people who serve on the tea, and they are very compatible. Jing Tao was stunned for a moment, and curtched his knees and said, "Lin Guiren is blessed." "Lin Guiren has been on an errand for several years, and he is also very clever, otherwise he will not be reused by the queen. She saw that Jing Tao had an embarrassed look on her face, her mind softened, and she suddenly had an epiphany, and then secretly regretted that she shouldn't have called this sound. She smiled: "It's a big night, you're a busy person, let's go first." ”

Jing Tao didn't care about her suspicions, and blessed her body, but she retreated.

Because of the near-delivery, Qingcheng couldn't sleep at night, and often had labor pains under the abdomen, Hai'an was afraid of accidents, so he kept it upside down day and night, and didn't go to bed for a few days to sleep peacefully. Early in the morning, Jian Yuheng came to diagnose Ping'an's pulse, Qingcheng dressed carefully, and walked to the east. Jian Yuheng bowed first, and when Qingcheng gave him a seat, he sat respectfully on the small table of the kang head. He spread a new silk handkerchief on Qingcheng's wrist, probed the pulse, and said: "I heard from the people in the kitchen, the master's appetite has not been very good recently, and Weichen thinks that the master should be calm, don't worry too much about everything, don't let the people who care about you worry." ”

Qingcheng retracted his hand back into his cuff and said softly: "I'm fine, don't read it at home." ”

Outside the window, there was white sunlight reflected in the house, Qingcheng was wearing a lake-colored jacket, his face was peaceful and quiet, Jian Yuheng wanted to be relieved, opened his mouth, and didn't know where to start. When he left, he smiled slightly: "You are still the same as when you were a child, you have something in your heart, and you always refuse to tell people." After finishing his words, he left respectfully.

Er Qi went to the imperial pond to pick two bundles of lotus flowers, hugged him and rushed into the house, crashed into Jian Yuheng's arms, was so shocked that he took a few steps back, and said: "The slave is reckless, please don't be surprised." Jian Yuheng asked rhetorically: "Are you okay?" Er Qi's face was purple with shame, he didn't dare to look at him, he lowered his face and shook his head, and said, "The slave is fine." Jian Yuheng nodded, lifted his robe and left. Erqi's face was hot, and he stared at the pillar until there was no one before turning around and entering the house.

But I saw Qingcheng sitting on the kang with a pestle, and the contemplative appearance made people panic. Er Qi blessed his body, filled the vase with lotus, and said with a smile: "It rained yesterday, and the pond is full of lotus flowers. Qingcheng remembered that he had met the emperor for the first time by the pool, and he was annoyed, and said: "What is there to see, just pass by." Erqi didn't understand, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, so he kept silent.

For a while, Hai'an took the lotus heart tea into the house, and said with a smile: "The master eats some lotus heart water to reduce the heat." Qingcheng drank a few sips, got up, and said, "I'm tired, go and rest for a while." Hai An said: "The master has only had breakfast for a short time, so he should eat and then rest." Qingcheng sighed, walked to the bottom of the corridor, looked at the vermilion palace wall, the yellow tiles were flying, and sighed: "I knew today, it is better to never meet it, and hide in Zhongcui Palace for a lifetime." ”

In the distance, a palace man rushed to him, said for a thousand years, and said, "Master, Aunt Shanrou from Changchun Palace is here." Qingcheng relieved himself and hurriedly said, "Please." But after a while, Shanrou led the two palace maids to come forward to ask for peace, and said with a smile: "The queen is worried about the pure master, knowing that you are about to give birth, and the special slave maid found a few decoctions from the warehouse to replenish the body after childbirth. After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the two palace maids to hand the brocade box in their hands to Hai'an, and said: "It contains the first-class tribute angelica, Chuanxiong, peony, and cooked land to count the two, and I have asked the imperial doctor to prepare a good prescription, and you can use it directly." On the day of delivery, the four flavors of medicine and black chicken were stewed for a few hours, and the soup was taken. ”

Qingcheng hurriedly said: "Thank you for me, the queen mother." Shanrou respectfully agreed, and bowed her knees to retire. Back in Changchun Palace, she went to the queen to speak, and it happened that Lin Guiren was also there, so she only said it briefly and stood silently on the side.

The queen did not shy away from being kind and gentle, and said to Lin Guiren with a smile: "The emperor has turned over your brand for several days, as long as you serve with all your heart, I promised you that I will not lose my word." ”

Lin Guiren's face flushed, and he said happily: "The slave and maid know, please rest assured." After a pause, her brows frowned, and she said: "The slave met Jing Tao in the Heart Cultivation Palace yesterday, and she was quite puzzled, it stands to reason that she was on an errand in the Yikun Palace, and if she was not summoned, she would never dare to run to the Heart Cultivation Palace at night." Besides, the pure concubine has undoubtedly fallen out of favor, what did the emperor do when he saw her? ”

The queen's eyes flashed, revealing a little fierce color, and said, "Maybe you are wrong!" ”

Lin Guidao: "Never, I also talked to her, her face was not depressed, sneaky, as if she was deliberately hiding something." The queen said: "It must be the pure concubine who instructed Jing Tao to do something, Jing Tao was originally a person in front of the emperor, the relationship is constant, and the involvement is widespread, and even Wu Shu has to be polite to treat her." ”

She bit it and said, "This pure concubine, looking at the harmlessness of humans and beasts, there are still some means-" After speaking, she squinted at Lin Guiren and said: "You are the holy grace she received when she fell out of favor, if she regains favor, the first person to deal with, I'm afraid..." ”

The queen waved her hand, the tortoiseshell armor inlaid with gold and broken jade was shining in the light, and she said calmly: "Don't worry, if she returns to favor, there will naturally be many people in the palace who are jealous. ”

Qingcheng slept for almost a whole day, and in the evening, Fang Jue had spirits, she pulled her hair in a bun, picked a silver-inlaid gemstone flat square hairpin, and helped Hai'an to wander around the palace street. The sunset slowly fell, and the golden splendor was reflected on the palace wall, inch by inch was lost, until it was completely gone, and there were little chamberlains carrying wax skewers to light lamps everywhere. The moon rises high, and the stars shine like glass in the dark sky, scattered all over the sky.

Hai'an was afraid that he would go far and cause trouble, so he said, "Master, let's go back." ”

Qingcheng didn't seem to hear it, and walked forward until it reached the edge of the imperial pond, and then stopped. By the moonlight, I saw the blue sea and the sky, and the lotus flowers were standing up. The summer breeze blows, the fragrance of lotus leaves fills the nose, quiet and quiet, and even Hai'an feels comfortable. Qingcheng didn't know why he came here, remembering that he met the emperor under the moon that day, he was dressed in a long robe, and asked her, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" She panicked and told a big lie. Later, when they met again in the rain, it was here that he gave her a big hat and called the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse, and since then she has been treated with warmth and affection. Thinking of his words and smiles, her heart was warm.

I don't know how long I stood there, and seeing that it was about to be locked, Hai An urged: "Master, it's time to go back." Qingcheng suddenly came back to his senses, as if he had woken up from a dream, and only answered half-loudly, and helped Hai'an to go back. It was already dark, and the two palace people were carrying lamps in front of them, and Qingcheng was walking in a trance, only to feel that his heart was mostly empty, and the dull pain was uncomfortable.

When he arrived at Yikun Gate, Er Qi had already greeted him, and complained: "Master, you are pregnant, what should you do if you have a cool breeze at night..."
