The palace road is deep, and the layers of palaces are scattered and endless. After walking for less than a pillar of incense, I came to a palace with three red gold characters written on the plaque in front of the vermilion palace: Hook Yi Palace.

Goyi Palace is one of the six western palaces and is located in the southwest of Miyagi. There is a pair of bronze sparrows in front of the steps outside the palace, and the palace gate is the Nanmu carved 10,000-character brocade bottom, the five bats hold the longevity, and the skirt plate partition door of Wanfu Wanshou. After entering the palace gate, there is a wide courtyard, and several tall ginkgo trees are planted in the four corners of the courtyard. Passing through the courtyard, facing the Yaoguang Palace, the main hall of the Hook Yi Palace, and now there is no main seat in the Hook Yi Palace, and this hall has been empty. On both sides of the main hall is the side hall, on the left is the Cuiwei Palace, the Linghan Palace, the Cuiwei Hall is now inhabited by Shen Meiren. On the right is the Linhua Palace, the Lotus Yi Palace. Behind the palace is a small garden, the corridor in the garden is tortuous, and then there are Xunmeng Pavilion and Yilan Xuan.

Apricot blossoms are planted all over in front of the Linhua Palace, looking like a sea of snow from afar, and the fragrance strikes people. Its flower color is pink and white, rouge is ten thousand points, the flowers are delicate and delicate, and they occupy the spring breeze. It is the so-called cutting ice silk, lightly stacked several weights, and lightly injected with swallow fat. The new beautiful costume, the glamorous fragrance, the shy Ruizhu palace maid. A few Xiangfei bamboos in the corner of the wall are green and dripping, complementing each other with apricot blossoms, which is very good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

Han Yue and Zi Mo followed Liu Yuanzhi into the hall. I saw that in the main hall, the plaque of "Lingyi Shude" of Emperor Huaiqing's imperial pen was hung high, and the west wall was hung with the "Ban Ji Ci Diagram". There is a red sandalwood carved inlaid word mirror heart screen directly behind the middle room, and a ground platform is set up in front of the screen, which is equipped with a throne, an incense table, a palace fan, an incense tube, etc.

The front and rear eaves of the bright room are double-crossed four-sided flower fan doors, the second room, the tip is the sill wall, and the upper is double-crossed four-sided flower fan windows. On the east side, there is a rosewood carved bamboo pattern skirt sliding sash, and on the west side, there is a rosewood carved magnolia pattern skirt sash sliding, which separates the east and west times from the Ming Dynasty respectively. The east and the tip are separated by the rosewood openwork entwined grape pattern floor cover, the west and the tip are separated by a rosewood carved Wanfu Wanshou pattern glazed partition fan, which is set up to shelter from the wind, and the north and south of the west are provided with wooden kang as a warm pavilion. The whole palace can be said to be very elegantly arranged, even with Liu Yuanzhi's mind, and Han Yue feels very comfortable to look at.

Liu Yuanzhi sat down in the middle room, and someone from the palace came to pay a visit. "The slave is Anshun, the head of the Linhua Palace, the slave Qingli, the palace maid in charge of the Linhua Palace, I have seen the Liu Imperial Maid, and the Liu Imperial Lady is auspicious." Han Yue stood beside Liu Yuanzhi, and saw that the chief's chamberlain and the palace maid were both twenty-five or sixteen years old, and their appearance was mediocre, and they looked like they were in order.

Then two attendants and two palace maids followed behind the two to visit, "Slave Xiao Guizi, slave Xiao Lizi, slave maid Luping, slave maid Bai Wei, knock to see the Liu Imperial Maid, Liu Imperial Girl is auspicious." ”

Liu Yuanzhi sat upright on her seat, without saying a word, quietly looking at the people kneeling on the ground and saluting. Everyone didn't know what Liu Yuanzhi meant, they all were silent and didn't dare to speak, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and knelt in a proper manner. After a while, Liu Yuanzhi and Han Yue glanced at each other, and when they saw Han Yue nodding slightly at her, Liu Yuanzhi understood and said to everyone, "Get up." ”

After everyone got up and stood still, Liu Yuanzhi said with a serious expression, "Since you are serving in my Linhua Palace, you must abide by the rules of my Linhua Palace, and you must not do such a traitor seeking glory and treachery, if you are found by me, you will be severely punished." After she finished speaking, her eyes slowly scanned the crowd. Everyone originally saw Liu Yuanzhi so soft and weak, thinking that she was just a delicate and unbearable woman, but they had never been so imposing, and everyone's hearts were full of joy.

After beating everyone, Liu Yuanzhi then changed into a kind look and said gently, "As long as you do things wholeheartedly, I will not treat you badly." ”

After Liu Yuanzhi finished speaking, Han Yue distributed the purses containing broken silver in his hand to the people standing at the foot of the steps one by one, and distributed more to Anshun and Qingli, and the other four people were equally divided. Everyone stretched out their hands to take the purse, and as soon as they weighed the weight of the purse, they were overjoyed, and their hearts were very obedient, and they said in unison, "Slaves, slaves, thank the little master for the reward." Please rest assured that the minions and slaves will serve the little master with all their hearts, and they will never give up. ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you all step back first." ”

"Yes, slaves and slaves are retired." The crowd retreated as they were told.

After everyone left, Liu Yuanzhi finally breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's really uncomfortable to talk and act like this, fortunately with you by my side, if I am alone, I am really afraid that I will not be able to do it." ”

Hanyue smiled, "What you did just now is very good, much better than what I was at the beginning." When Han Yue said this, the light in her eyes couldn't help but be a little dim, she paused, and quickly regained her vitality, "Take your time, just get used to it." ”

Liu Yuanzhi saw all this in her eyes, but she didn't know how to comfort her for a while. "Ah, yes." She said suddenly, and hurriedly got up and walked to the second room, and opened a sandalwood box that had been brought into the palace this time. She flipped through for a while, took out a small jasper bottle and handed it to Han Yue, and said, "Yue'er, this is peppermint cream, which has the effect of healing injuries and swelling, you take it." Just now, you are all to save me, so you took Sun Yuwei's palm in vain, I really can't help it. ”

Hanyue didn't seem to care much, she smiled and comforted, "It's not tight, it's just a slap, it's not a big deal." Then the bottle of mint frost slave maid accepted it, and the slave and maid thanked the little master for his grace. She said, reaching for the bottle.

When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, she frowned and said angrily, "I said, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me. ”

Han Yue said, "There are many people in the palace, so it's better to have some rules, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents." She said to Liu Yuanzhi, and then turned her head to look at Zi Mo, "Zi Mo, from now on, I am the little master's maid like you, you have to remember that there is no longer any young lady here, only the maid Yue'er, do you want to call me like this?" ”

When Zi Mo heard this, he couldn't accept it all of a sudden, he had called Miss for more than ten years, how could he change it now? There was some reluctance between her brows, and sadness spread across her face.

"But......" Liu Yuanzhi also wanted to say something, but seeing that Hanyue was so insistent, she could only give up.

Han Yue couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Liu Yuanzhi and Zi Mo, she said helplessly, "Okay, when there are only three of us in the future, I will still be me, do you think this is good?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi nodded and smiled.

Zi Mo also laughed, she stepped forward to take the bottle in Han Yue's hand and said, "Miss, I'll take medicine for you." ”

"yes, okay." Han Yue looked at Zi Mo and said with a smile.

After lunch, Han Yue accompanied Liu Yuanzhi to visit Shen Meiren in Cuiwei Palace. Now there is no master in the Hook Yi Palace, and the highest rank here is Shen Meiren. Shen Meiren is a typical Jiangnan woman, born in a scholarly family, gentle as water, although she is not very beautiful, she has her own charm, and she is very comfortable to look at. It's a pity that she has been in the palace for five years, and she was still favored at first, but there are so many fans in the six palaces, and Shen Meiren has a clear and high score in her bones that she can't put down, and she disdains to compete for favor, and then she was gradually forgotten by the emperor, and stayed in the Cuiwei Palace all day long, living in a simple place.

After returning from Cuiwei Palace, Han Yuefang helped Liu Yuanzhi to sit down on the couch by the window, and the little palace maid reported outside the door that Ruan Cainu and Qu Cainu were coming. In Kunde Hall before, Han Yue hadn't looked at Ruan Mingting and Qu Zhixu carefully. Now it seems that Ruan Mingting is wearing a water blue embroidered magnolia brocade dress, her skin is better than snow, her eyes are bright, and there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that ordinary women do not have. Qu Zhixu was wearing a light pink hosta embroidered skirt, and the soft tones lined her eyes with water, and I felt pitiful, like a pink delicate peach blossom.

Han Yue hurriedly stepped forward to sit down with the two, and served some seasonal melon and fruit refreshments with Zi Mo.

Qu Zhixu looked at Liu Yuanzhi after sitting down, and said shyly and timidly, "Kunde Hall said goodbye in a hurry, and I haven't had time to thank my sister for helping me out of the siege." ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, "It's just a trivial matter, and I didn't help much, so my sister doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Qu Zhixu shook his head and said, "People in the palace are unpredictable, everyone is alone, but my sister is willing to speak for me, a person I don't know." One sentence is small, but saving me in fire and water is big, this kindness, I know that I must remember it in my heart. ”

Liu Yuanzhi thought to herself, she just didn't want to make a big deal so she couldn't help but speak, and she didn't think about getting the gratitude of others. I never thought about it, but she was regarded as a benefactor by Qu Zhixu, she couldn't help laughing, "If you talk about kindness, Sister Ruan is the only one." Her courage is commendable, and she deserves to be a tiger girl! ”

Ruan Mingting, who was originally listening to the two of them talking, was suddenly named by Liu Yuanzhi at this moment, and he was also a little embarrassed, "Sister smiled, I have been such a character since I was a child, and I can't see Sun Yuwei's kind of bullying person." When I was a child, I didn't fight for others, and I don't know how many times I was taught a lesson by my mother for this. After saying that, he stuck out his tongue at the two.

Han Yue looked at Ruan Mingting from the side, her face was not shocked, but she sighed in her heart, such a straightforward girl was sent to the palace, I really don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for her.

"Sister Liu, I don't have anything to take, this is my own embroidered purse, and I hope my sister will smile." As she spoke, Qu Zhixu held a purse in both hands and sent it to Liu Yuanzhi, her face was slightly red and a little ashamed.

"Just now, this girl came to me and thanked me for a while before she stopped, and she also gave me a purse." Ruan Mingting pointed to the purse on his waist, "Sister, just accept a piece of your heart." ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled and took the purse in Qu Zhixu's hand, the purse was embroidered with the pattern of butterfly play magnolia, and the stitches were fine, which showed that it took some thought, "Thank you, sister, I like it very much." ”

Qu Zhixu saw Liu Yuanzhi accept the purse with a smile, so he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

This expression fell in Ruan Mingting's eyes, but she couldn't help laughing, "Sister, look at her nervous appearance, as if she was giving a purse to her lover, for fear that her lover would not accept it." ”

"Sister Ruan, you, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qu Zhixu's already red face was red at the moment.

"Yo, Sister Liu is so lively here, my sister heard the laughter of the room outside." The three people in the room were joking, when a clear voice came from the door. A beautiful woman dressed in a smoky cloud and silver silk gauze skirt walked in, with black hair and cicada sideburns, moth eyebrows and green daisies, it was Yun Yuya who lived in the Mofeng Hall of Changxin Palace.

Yun Yuya walked over, "I didn't let the palace maid report and came uninvited, if it disturbs everyone's interest, I hope the sisters will forgive me." ”

"Look at what Sister Yun said, we are just chatting, what is there to disturb or not to disturb, one more person is more lively." Ruan Mingting got up and said, pulling Yun Yuya to sit down beside him.

Liu Yuanzhi, Ruan Mingting, and Yun Yuya glanced at each other, and the three of them smiled tacitly.

"It's better for you to be here, free and pure. Sun Yuwei and I live in the same palace, although we are in different halls, we are also uncomfortable. What's more, Changxin Palace does not have a main position, and after Sun Yuwei moved in, she was counted as the highest, and she didn't know how to be powerful in the future. Yun Yuya frowned slightly, and said with a faint sorrow.

"If my sister doesn't dislike it, she can come to me more often in the future." Liu Yuanzhi comforted.

"The four of us together, are you still afraid that she will not succeed in one Sun Yuwei? Sisters are of the same heart, and their profits are broken! Ruan Mingting said. The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly became enlightened.

The four of them talked to their sons again before they dispersed.

"Yue'er, what do you think of them?" Liu Yuanzhi asked.

Han Yue thought for a while and said, "At first sight, I thought they were all honest people, but they all said that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and only after a long time can they see who is a human and who is a ghost." ”
