Cai You's eyebrows jumped, as if someone had strangled his neck, his mind was instantly blank, and he couldn't speak with his throat.

After half a ring, she said with a fixed expression: "That night, the slave maid saw that the moon was clear and the lotus fragrance was fragrant, and she remembered the song taught by her mother when she was a child, so she hummed a few words casually, and at this time she couldn't remember which one she was singing at that time." ”

Hongli groaned slightly and said, "Yes." ”

Cai You watched him sit down on the bed, slowly unbuttoning the dragon brocade button on the crimson robe, his sword eyebrows were straight, and his eyes were as bright as the morning star. Her heart was pounding, her body was hot, and she was sweating thinly.

The emperor glanced at her, paused, and suddenly said, "What are you afraid of, I am not a tiger, can I still eat you?" ”

Cai You's face flushed, and he lowered his eyes and said, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

There are a lot of buckles on the dragon robe, and Hongli twists them one by one, which is not too cumbersome. He entered the palace when he was a child, raised by the side of his grandfather, and was trained to be thoughtful and self-controlled.

Hongli asked, "What are you doing at night?" ”

Cai You said half-truthfully: "The little master who serves the slave and maid loves the lotus, and the slave and maid have to go to the imperial pond to pick everything in the house." ”

Hongli bowed his head and suddenly said, "Who is your original master?" ”

Cai You's heart chuckled, and he said in a low voice: "It's Su Chang in the east courtyard of Zhongcui Palace." ”

The moonlight is hazy, the heat has faded, and the evening breeze is mixed with the fragrance of summer flowers, gently blowing the sleeves of the dress. Qingcheng stood under the porch, staring at the bright stars in the sky, remembering when he was a child at his grandmother's house, playing with a few cousins and sisters in the house to catch fireflies, packed in a translucent glass jar, flashing and flashing, very interesting. At that time, I was carefree, and I never imagined that one day I would say goodbye to my relatives forever, and I would be alone in a small world, and I would die alone.

Hai'an saw that Qingcheng had been standing under the porch for a long time, and he was afraid that she would blow the wind, so he took a thin silk shirt from the house and put it on for her, and said, "Little master, don't be greedy for the cold." Qingcheng smiled, a shallow pear vortex appeared on his lips, and his eyebrows were like green mountains, and he said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not so delicate." ”

Hai An said: "It's always okay to be careful. After a pause, he said: "Ming'er is Concubine Lu's birthday, can the little master think about what gift to give?" ”

Qingcheng said: "It's because you came here, and you know everything." After a pause, he said: "In the past, Lu Gege... On Concubine Lu's birthday, I am sending a newly made purse, and this year is the same. ”

Hai'an thought for a while, and said softly: "In the past, Concubine Lu and the little master had no rank, and what you sent was your heart." But now that Concubine Lu is the head of Zhongcui Palace, what the little master will give is a lot to consider. ”

Qingcheng smiled slightly, like a crape myrtle blooming on the branches on a summer night, and said: "I'm just a constant without grace, no matter what I give, no one will take it to heart, it's better to follow the previous years, no matter what, others have nothing to say." ”

When Hai'an heard this, she secretly thought: although she was calm and calm, she was afraid that she had to plan everything carefully.

The next day, the queen issued a decree to the six palaces, and the maid Lin Caiyou of the Qing Palace agreed to live in the partial courtyard of Xianfu Palace. When Ling Rong heard this, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked herself up, said goodbye to Qingcheng, and went straight to Changchun Palace to find Caiyou to talk.

Although Cai Youde's title was only agreed, the emperor obviously treated her differently, not only let her live next to the noble concubine, but also gave her a room alone, so that she did not have to live with other promises, and she could not stretch her hands and feet.

The red sun is scorching, and as soon as the green orange comes out of the house, there is a hot heat wave that hits the face, like a steamer, which makes people panic. The leaves of the holly tree are shiny and shiny, refracting light in the sun. The birds and finches that love to cry are gone, the courtyard is quiet, and the palace people are hiding in the house, not daring to go out.

Hai'an held a lotus-patterned round fan with a moon-white plain hand in his hand, held it high and covered the green orange's head, and said on his mouth: "The sun is poisonous, the little lord should go quickly." ”

Qingcheng said "um", walked along the palace wall, turned from the mezzanine, got into the small yellow door, adjusted his clothes slightly, and said: "I am tired of my father-in-law." The little eunuch knew that it was Master Lu's birthday, so he hurriedly agreed to go in. After a while, he came back and said, "Master Lu invited Little Master Su to come into the warm pavilion to speak. ”

Another neatly dressed palace maid came to lead the way, entered the warm pavilion, only to see Shun Concubine, Qing Concubine, Jin Guiren, Wang Guiren, Chen Guiren and other concubines are sitting on the seat and laughing, except for Hai Chang, others are not very dealings with Qingcheng, and the position is high, Qingcheng had to carefully make a big gift, Fang presented two purses embroidered by himself, and said: "The master is deeply favored, accustomed to seeing the good things in front of the royal reward, and I am afraid that whatever the concubine will send is not comparable, so I embroidered two purses by myself, and the right to play with the mother." ”

Concubine Lu listened to the comfort, put the purse in the palm of her hand and looked at it again, and said with a smile: "Master Su's needlework is a little better than the embroidery girl of the Huanyi Bureau." "No, compared with the cheap maid of the Huanyi Bureau, even Hai'an's face has changed.

Qingcheng still looked smiling, his eyes were as calm as water, and he sipped the tea presented by the palace man shallowly, and did not reply.

Concubine Shun glanced at Qingcheng and said, "I heard that Lin Yi, who is newly sealed into Xianfu Palace today, promised that he was Su Chang's palace maid before?" ”

Qingcheng said in a deep voice: "Yes." ”

Qing Concubine laughed out loud and said: "Lin promised to be a blessed person in the end, and he was ordered to go to the imperial pond to pick lotus flowers, and he happened to bump into the emperor, so that's it, but he also dropped an earring and let the emperor pick it up..."

Jin Guiren laughed and said, "Why don't we go to the imperial pool tonight to try our luck?" ”

Wang Guiren snorted, pursed his lips and smiled: "Even if you bump into the emperor, will you still sing a little song?" She lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "This is from the Jingshi room, saying that Lin promised to sleep in the Qianqing Palace last night, and the emperor asked her to sing a little song that was sung by the imperial pool." He smiled again: "You don't know, now the palace maids in all palaces and halls are clamoring to learn tunes." ”

Qingcheng is holding a tea cup in his hand, which is a high-grade Longjing, and the pieces of tender tea are slowly stretched in the porcelain bowl, the color is dark green, and the fragrance is lush. Somehow, she suddenly remembered the man who had interrupted her singing that night by the Imperial Pool, and she had gone in such a hurry that she didn't look closely. Gradually, a trace of doubt rose in my heart, and I couldn't help asking: "What kind of tune?" ”

Wang Guiren looked at Qingcheng with interest, showed a look of disdain, and said, "What, you also want to learn?" ”

Jin Guiren sneered: "Also, as far as I know, Su Chang has been in the submersible mansion since he entered the mansion, and he has not slept until now. Even the maidservants around him climbed onto the dragon bed, and they couldn't even see the emperor's face, which was not worrying. ”

Seeing that she was not used to bullying the weak, Concubine Shun said: "Didn't you also make great efforts to invite favor in front of the emperor?" Su Changzai is a serious little master, why can't he do it? Seeing that Concubine Shun said so bluntly, everyone didn't know how to refute it for a while, she was of a high rank, and she was close to Concubine Xian, and others didn't dare to offend, so they all stopped talking and talked about Zhu Hai jewelry.

For a while, a eunuch came and said: "Master Lu, the emperor has passed the word in front of the emperor, saying that the emperor has dispersed and is coming to Zhongcui Palace." ”
