There is a lake in front of Yanni Palace, one of the six palaces in the east of the Dayue Imperial Palace, although this lake is not as vast as the Taiye Pond, but it is also clear and beautiful, quite a small jasper. The lake water is clear and clear, calm as a mirror, can shine on the figure of the person, so it is called Jingpo Lake. There are cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms in early spring, swallow blossoms, iris flowers, hydrangeas in late spring, water lilies and acacia in summer, red leaves, chrysanthemums in autumn, and plum blossoms and white plums in winter.

There is a finger moon bridge across Jingpo Lake. Dayue advocates Buddhism, the bridge name refers to the moon is the term on the Buddhist scriptures, to refer to the teaching, to the moon to the law, truthful observer, everything is fine, such as the foolish view of the moon, the view refers to the moon. The vermilion finger moon bridge lies across Jingpo Lake, with the infinite greenery around it, which is quite into the painting.

It's just that this painting not only refers to the Moon Bridge, but also Qu Zhixu on the bridge.

"Little Lord, where are we going?" Yinling followed Qu Zhixu's side and asked puzzledly. She looked around with a probing of her head, very curious. In the vicinity of this Yanni Palace, they have never set foot in it.

Qu Zhi Xu Wan'er smiled, and said to Yinling as he walked, "A few days ago, I heard Sister Liu say that she has been sleeping unsteadily since the beginning of summer, and she goes to bed late and wakes up early every day. I remember that "Shennong's Materia Medica" has a saying that acacia flowers have the effect of calming the five organs, harmonizing the mind, relieving depression and calming the nerves, and clearing the heart and eyes. I happened to hear that there were a few old acacia trees by the Jingpo Lake, and they must have bloomed just right at this time, so I selfishly thought about picking some acacia flowers for my sister to make tea and drink. Miss Yue'er is skillful, and it is also excellent for her to cook some food for her sister. ”

As the master and servant spoke, they walked to the other side of Jingpo Lake. I saw a few acacia branches staggered, green leaves like a cover, red flower pink and tender. The flowers of the acacia are delicate, like a thin feather fan, and the silk is dense. From a distance, it looks like smoke and fog, bright as smoke, and lovely.

Although these acacia trees are thick and tall, because of their lush branches and leaves, as if they are fruitful, many branches can't stand the weight and hang down, but they are just right for Qu Zhi to pick, otherwise, they really can't reach it.

Qu Zhixu wore a goose-yellow butterfly skirt, lightly pulled the fallen horse bun, only a hollow orchid bead hairpin, and a few small pearls fell sporadically in his hair, looking fresh and pleasant, elegant and soft. She stretched out her hand to pick the acacia flowers on the branches, and sometimes talked to the silver bell, or raised her eyebrows slightly, or smiled, her eyes were bright, and she looked forward to it. Against the backdrop of the surrounding thick green, this tender yellow is particularly eye-catching.

"Your Majesty, look there, the scenery of Jingpo Lake is really good." Sun Yuwei affectionately held the emperor's arm and said angrily. Although this Sun Yuwei is a little arrogant, the emperor really likes her beautiful and charming, bright and moving. What's more, she also has a small mouth that seems to be coated with honey, and her coquettish foolishness often amuses the emperor, so the emperor is also willing to take her around the garden from time to time. But at this time, the emperor beside her didn't hear what she was saying at all, and the emperor's eyes had already been attracted by the scenery in front of him.

Sun Yuwei saw that the emperor had not paid attention to her for a long time, and immediately had some doubts in her heart, so she followed the emperor's gaze. Not far away, Qu Zhixu danced among the flowers like a yellow butterfly. The goose-yellow skirt is soft, swaying slightly with her movements, graceful and exquisite. Speaking of which, although Qu Zhixu is not as beautiful as Liu Yuanzhi and Sun Yuwei, she is smiling at the moment, and her white face is as white as porcelain facing red flowers and green leaves, which is very good-looking, and people feel comfortable when they see it.

It's just that such a beautiful scene fell in Sun Yuwei's eyes, but it was extremely dazzling. Qu Zhixu's fresh and elegant dress made Sun Yuwei's carmine hibiscus embroidered dress look vulgar. Sun Yuwei's fingers hidden in her sleeves tightened, and she secretly cursed in her heart, "Use some foxy means!" ”

Qu Zhixu and Yinling were concentrating on picking acacia flowers under the tree, and even the emperor and his party walked behind them without knowing it.

"Why did you come here to pick flowers on a whim?" As he spoke, the emperor reached out and plucked an acacia flower that had fallen on her bun for Qu Zhixu.

Qu Zhixu turned around when he heard this, raised his eyes and saw that it was the emperor, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly saluted, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”

"Flat." The emperor stepped forward and picked up Qu Zhixu, who was bowing and bowing.

"My sister is really good." Sun Yuwei looked Qu Zhixu in front of him up and down, and then said this lukewarmly.

Qu Zhixu never thought that she would meet the emperor here, she was already very surprised, and when she saw Sun Yuwei's eyes beside the emperor who wanted to eat her alive, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak for a while.

The emperor was not annoyed, but just waited for her to reply. Qu Zhixu hesitated for a while, and then stumbled and said, "Minister, the concubine heard that Sister Liu has not been sleeping well recently, so she thought about picking some acacia flowers to make tea for her sister. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was even more satisfied with Qu Zhixu in his heart, and he said with appreciation, "You and Zhi'er are really sisters, if everyone in the harem concubines is like you, then I can also save a lot of worry." ”

Qu Zhixu saw that the emperor praised her so much in front of everyone, and her little face suddenly became two more flushes. The emperor looked at her so embarrassed, and was in a good mood for a while, "You don't have to pick this flower anymore, and I will have someone pick some intact acacia flowers for you to send to the Chufang Hall later." Would you like to walk with me now? ”

Facing the emperor, Qu Zhixu's heart has always been a little resistant, which is why she has always been unconcerned about whether she is favored or not. It's just that no matter what she thinks in her heart, she doesn't dare to show it on her face. She bent the corners of her mouth a little stiffly, and replied with a timid smile, "The concubine is willing." When the emperor saw her like this, he thought she was shy, so he took her hand and walked away.

Sun Yuwei watched in a daze as the emperor led Qu Zhixu forward, and she was stunned and didn't react. Today's emperor obviously brought her to enjoy the scenery, how could he be intervened by Qu Zhixu? She stomped the ground in hatred and gritted a bite of silver teeth.

"Little master, if you don't keep up, the emperor and they will go away." The maidservant next to Sun Yuwei, Yanfu, reminded in a whisper.

Sun Yuwei glared at Yanfu when she heard this, "I want you to talk more!" Yanfu was stunned by her glare, and shrunk her neck in fright. Sun Yuwei snorted coldly, lifted the hem of her skirt, and hurriedly followed.

That night, the emperor turned over Qu Zhixu's sign as a matter of course.

On the sky that is as calm as water, a bright moon hangs in the sky like a jade hook, and as far as the eye can see, the slight clouds are dark, and the Milky Way pours down from the nine heavens like a waterfall. In the huge palace city, some people are happy and some are worried. Some people have warm tents and lingering in the spring night, and some people turn around and can't sleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Sun Yuwei had a tiger face. The palace maids and chamberlains serving in the Ning Hui Hall were all cautious, for fear that if they accidentally provoked this short-tempered master, they would inevitably be beaten at that time.

Because of the fact that she was cut off by Qu Zhixu yesterday, Sun Yuwei was already difficult to swallow in one breath, and now she is known to everyone, and everyone is secretly making fun of her behind her back, Sun Yuwei only feels ashamed and indignant, if she is a ball, I am afraid that she would have exploded at this moment.

Coincidentally, walking on the road, I ran into a Fang Cai girl. Qu Zhixu is now the emperor's new favorite, and she Sun Yuwei can't help it, but this Fang Cainu in front of her is a master who is easy to handle. Sun Yuwei sprinkled all the anger in her heart on Fang Cainu's head, but she really felt sorry for Fang Cainu.

"Don't you have eyes? Why don't you salute when you see this maid? Such a disrespectful one! Sun Yuwei said angrily.

Fang Cainu trembled and knelt on the hard ground, looking aggrieved, "Sun Baolin, you just walked behind me, I really didn't notice it." ”

"Dare to quibble? You didn't see me, but it was my fault? Sun Yuwei asked rhetorically.

"Sun Baolin, how can you be so unreasonable!" Fang Cainu whispered, and her appearance of crying at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire in Sun Yuwei's eyes.

"Hmph, I'm really pitiful! Who are you looking for with this pretentious look? Sun Yuwei said disdainfully.

"Fang Cainu is a prisoner, she has no dignity, and she also contradicts her words, how should she deal with it according to the palace rules?" Sun Yuwei raised her voice and asked, that way she was very arrogant.

"According to the palace rules, the palm mouth is twenty." Yanfu said with a low brow.

When Fang Cainu heard this, she was immediately shocked, "Sun Baolin, I am not at fault, you have no right to treat me like this!" ”

"Oh? I don't have the right? As a maiden, don't I have the power to dispose of a little maiden? Sun Baolin glared angrily.

Li Cairen, who happened to be passing by here, witnessed all this in front of her, but she was looking ahead and hesitated.

"Little master, are we going to help Fang pick a girl?" The maidservant woman looked at Li Cairen and couldn't bear to ask.

Li Cairen was once the maidservant of the queen's side, and one day the emperor accidentally got drunk and accidentally pampered the Li family, and then named him a maid. But because of Li's mediocre appearance and no extraordinary, the emperor gradually forgot about her. Speaking of this Li's luck is also good, after that night she was pregnant with the sixth princess, and then was promoted to the royal maid, and then because the six princesses were lively and lovely, quite a sacred heart, the emperor looked at the face of the six princesses and promoted Li to be a talent, and Li has been in this position for many years since then.

Although Li Cairen is the biological mother of the sixth princess, she is generally not favored, and she has been staying away from right and wrong for many years, and she can be described as an invisible person in this palace. At this moment, even though she encountered such an unfair scene, she finally relented, shook her head and said, "Let's go quickly, let's not get contaminated with these senseless rights and wrongs." After she finished speaking, she walked away quickly with Zijin.

"Sun Baolin, no matter whether Fang Cainu was at fault or not, she has already made up for you, why do you hold on to it?" Liu Yuanzhi stepped forward and said. She thought that Li Cairen would help when she saw this, Li Cairen was an old man in the palace, Sun Yuwei would be a little jealous, but who knew that Li Cairen was a master who was alone, Liu Yuanzhi couldn't look at it, so she had to speak by herself.

Sun Yuwei raised her eyebrows slightly and looked sideways. She has always been unaccustomed to Liu Yuanzhi, but at this moment, she is angry, and she has shown the original temper of the eldest lady, and she doesn't take Liu Yuanzhi in her eyes at all, "Liu Cairen really thinks he is the savior?" Everything will happen? Let me tell you, don't always rely on the emperor's favor to intervene in everything! Selling cloth in the dyeing shop, nosy! ”

Liu Yuanzhi was choked by her, and a word was choked in her throat.

Sun Yuwei is so ignorant of restraint, it's too much. Seeing this, Han Yue stepped forward and saluted and said, "Please forgive the slave and maid for being stupid, Sun Baolin, you just said that Fang Cainu did not salute you and made a contradiction, which is disrespectful and humble, and the following is guilty." But now, Sun Baolin, when you see Liu Cairen, you didn't salute according to the rules, and you still spoke against each other, so is this considered disrespectful and humble, and the following is a crime? ”

"You!" Sun Yuwei pointed at the cold moon, her eyes were about to split, and her pretty face was red with anger.

Without waiting for Sun Yuwei to finish speaking, Han Yue turned to Zi Mo sideways and asked, "Zi Mo, if you commit the following crimes, you have no dignity and humility, how should you deal with it according to the palace rules?" ”

Zi Mo felt very relieved in his heart, and said loudly, "According to the palace rules, twenty palms and mouths to set an example." ”

Sun Yuwei gritted her teeth, her mouth was crooked, she was just patronizing and losing her temper, but she didn't expect to put herself in, which gave Han Yue a chance. Yanfu gently tugged at Sun Yuwei's sleeve and signaled her to stop arguing with her tongue. Sun Yuwei impatiently shook off Yanfu's hand, and said with a cold snort, "I'm too lazy to meet you here!" With that, he strode away angrily.

Liu Yuanzhi stepped forward and personally helped Fang Cainu, Fang Cainu was very grateful, and she thanked her for a thousand graces before leaving.

Liu Yuanzhi looked at Han Yue with some surprise, and felt that her temperament seemed to have changed a little, "I remember that on weekdays, you always said that you should not be strong in everything, and you should be obscure, how is it abnormal today?" ”

"I used to think that I would take a step back and open the sky, but now I understand that some people will gain an inch, and if they blindly endure it, they are afraid that they will be ridden on the head." Hanyue said with emotion.

Liu Yuanzhi looked at her, nodded approvingly, and was a little worried after thinking about it, "You are so opposed to Sun Yuwei for this matter today, according to her temperament, I am afraid that you will hold a grudge." After speaking, he hurriedly instructed, "In the future, stay away from Changxin Palace, lest she trouble you." ”
