Chapter 43 Selection

The sky was gloomy, and Concubine Lu was wearing a goose yellow brocade palace skirt, helping the maid to come from the gravel path. Wang Guiren, who was following behind, saw Hai'an holding the bottle in his hand, and said with a smile: "Su Guiren is so clever, not like us, he only cares about enjoying the flowers, and he doesn't think about collecting some snow water to make tea, no wonder the emperor likes you." ”

Qingcheng bent his knees and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, so I'm too busy to panic." ”

Lu Concubine said: "Su Guiren is too modest, you serve the emperor every day, and you want to work hard." ”

Qingcheng's face turned red, and he didn't know how to reply, Wang Guiren looked at it in his eyes, sneered, and said, "Look at you, everyone is embarrassed." Concubine Lu was unhappy and said: "What's so embarrassing and embarrassing, it's not like you and I haven't been spoiled, it's just that feng shui takes turns." At the beginning of spring next year, the women of the Eight Banners will be selected to enter the palace, and how many fresh people are behind. ”

Wang Guidao: "I know you have a straightforward heart, but you are quick to speak, if it is someone else, I am afraid it will annoy you." ”

Concubine Lu is the same age as Wang Guiren, and she entered the palace in the same year, so she has a lot of dealings, and she can listen to a few words of persuasion. She glanced at Qingcheng and said, "I'll say it casually, don't take it to heart." ”

Qingcheng was stunned and silent. Concubine Lu thought she was angry and bored, so she pulled Wang Guiren to the depths of the flower path.

Hai'an was softly relieved and said: "The master is favored, and others are naturally jealous, but a few sour words, don't take it to heart." ”

Qingcheng smiled and said worriedly: "I didn't marry the emperor for one day or two days, but four years, what I don't understand, it's really confusing!" Hai'an didn't know the meaning of her words, and when he saw her pale, he asked, "If the master is tired, it's better to..."

Qingcheng shook his head and said, "Walking around outside, my body is comfortable." She watched Er Qi instruct the palace people to clean up the snow in the stamens, and everyone spoke softly, rolling in the cold wind, like endless sorrow Buddha through the bottom of her heart.

Back at Yikun Palace, it was almost noon. The little eunuch in front of the emperor came over to say goodbye, and said in the emperor's tone: "Today is the auspicious day of the Qintian Supervisor's election, and I am going to Jiaotai Hall to hold a "seal" ceremony, so I don't have to wait for me to eat." ”

Qingcheng responded, and asked Hai'an to catch the little eunuch who rewarded the copper coin to the ceremony. After eating, Qingcheng was sullen, holding a book of Li Yishan's poems on the kang crookedly. Hai'an scooped half a spoonful of Su Hexiang from the iron box and threw it into the purple copper wisps of hollow gold entwined with floral pattern smoker, and the lingering fragrance was continuous.

I slept until the evening, and when I opened my eyes in a trance, I saw a bright yellow figure sitting cross-legged by myself, I was startled, I couldn't get up, and blurted out: "When did the emperor come?" ”

The emperor rested the book on his lap, turned his face to her and smiled slightly, "It's been a while." He jokingly asked, "Have you woken up?" ”

Qingcheng looked at the sky and saw that the lamp had been turned on under the corridor, and he knew that he had slept for a long time, and he was a little embarrassed. When the emperor saw that she was only wearing a middle coat, he got up and took the shirt from the truss and wrapped it on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Do you like to read Li Yishan's poems?" ”

Qingcheng didn't dare to be presumptuous, and said in a low voice: "The book I picked up, I look at it twice, I can't say whether I like it or not." ”

There was a very warm earth dragon burning in the room, and several pots of silver charcoal were caged, and she hid in the quilt, and her face was as ruddy and shiny as a ripe apple. The emperor saw that her shoulders were full of green silk, and her jade neck was fragrant, so he couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, and kissed her neck.
