Xu Changzai got up and opened one of the volumes, and what caught his eye was a song of Su Dongpo's water tune, and the book of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing looked really chic.

Those elegant and agile words, as if they really wanted to "ride the wind back", Xu Changzai's eyes widened in surprise.

She did hear that Su Youyi wrote well, but she didn't expect it to be so good.

"Mother's word...... It is really pleasing to the eye, like a dragon and a phoenix, and the concubines admire it. ”

After a while, Xu Changzai said this, and the light in his eyes was different from before.

What is hers is not only whether Su Youyi's words are good-looking or not, but also the character, temperament, and open-mindedness shown in her words. Now that she has seen it, her heart is naturally at ease.

Shuya stepped forward to roll up the words again and put them back into the large celadon calligraphy and painting urn on the side of the bookcase.

Su Youyi smiled humbly: "It's over, I prefer the vigorous and powerful fonts written by older scholars, and the words of this palace are still a little more impetuous." ”

"A little impetuous, hidden in the mother's flying and elegant brushstrokes, but more free and easy."

Xu Changzai has been taught by words and deeds since he was a child, and he has his own understanding of calligraphy, Su Youyi nodded slightly, and her heart is not a loss to be the daughter of a scholarly family.

Xu Chang got to the point at this time, "Last time in the old pavilion of the Imperial Garden, the concubine helped each other, and the concubine came to thank her today." ”

After saying that, he brushed up his skirt and knelt down, and kowtowed uprightly.

Su Youyi paused, raised her hand, and asked Shuya to help her up, "But with a gesture, Xu Chang didn't mention it in these days, and the palace forgot about it." ”

Xu Changzai thought that she was blaming herself for not coming to thank her earlier, so she hurriedly raised her head and said, "Please also ask the mother to forgive her sins." The mother is very gracious, and the concubine should have come to thank him earlier. It's just the queen's ......."

She bit her lip hesitantly, and the tassel hanging from the golden hairpin behind her ear swayed, "It's just that the queen mother and Concubine Zhao are not in harmony, and the concubine has always been attached to the queen mother since she entered the palace, and she is obedient to her." If she knew that the concubine had a private relationship with the mother, she was afraid that she would be angry, and she was more likely to anger the mother. ”

Su Youyi thought for a while and said, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”

Xu Changzai sat down again, and at the same time straightened the creases at the corners of his skirt, and said earnestly: "The concubine knows that the queen will be unhappy, but if this kindness does not come to thank Concubine Zhao in person, she will not be able to get over it." Therefore, today, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, only one person came to Yongshou Palace, and asked the mother to forgive the concubine for being late. ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Su Youyi's mouth, and when she raised her hand to open the sweet white lid of the tea cup, her slender white fingers were still three points moister than sweet white porcelain.

She took a gentle sip of her tea.

Then he smiled and said: "This palace didn't help you to make you thankful, and naturally I don't mind if you come early or late." ”

"Then why does the lady want to help the concubine?"

This is something that Xu Changzai has been unable to figure out.

With the relationship between Su Youyi and the queen, she should have let the emperor find out about her, and then punish her severely, so as to weaken the queen's power and give the queen no face.

But Su Youyi not only did not add fuel to the fire, but helped her hide the emperor, which made Xu Chang difficult to calm down when he thought about it now.

Su Youyi said: "Bengong didn't think so much at the time, and the moment I saw you, I was naturally surprised, but I didn't expect there to be someone on the rockery." You can see that you are frightened and at a loss, and you know that you did not deliberately eavesdrop there. Since you didn't mean it, why bother letting the emperor find you? If the emperor's temperament discovers you, he will definitely not spare you, so aren't you too innocent? ”

Xu Changzai became more and more warm when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Concubine Zhao for your trust." As Niangniang expected, the concubine really didn't have time to dodge at that time, and then she wanted to signal that she was there, and it was too late. The concubine did not deliberately eavesdrop on the conversation between the emperor and Niangniang there, thank you Niangniang for her kindness. ”

Su Youyi said helplessly: "Don't be too happy first, the palace also thought that it had successfully hidden from the emperor, but the emperor was aware of everything, and he had already seen someone in the pavilion at that time." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Changzai's heart suddenly beat violently, and he was overwhelmed by this sudden news.

Su Youyi said: "You don't have to worry. The emperor saw a corner of your skirt at that time, in order to save face for the palace, he did not attack on the spot. Afterwards, when he returned to Yongshou Palace, he asked in every possible way, and there was no one in the palace to kill the pavilion, but the emperor said that he would visit the concubines in pink dresses in the harem that day. ”

Xu Changzai's heart beat tighter and tighter, the palace maid's uniform system does not have a pink skirt. There are only a dozen concubines in the emperor's harem, and it is easy to find out who it is at a glance.

Su Youyi said again: "Instead of letting the emperor find out, it is better to confess frankly." Therefore, the palace has already told the emperor that it was you in the pavilion, and the emperor heard that you did not intend to eavesdrop there, so he decided not to pursue it again. ”

Xu Changzai breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Thank you Concubine Zhao, thank you Concubine Zhao!"

Although Su Youyi said it lightly, Xu Changzai knew that she must have said a lot of good things for herself to make the emperor not hold herself accountable. The crime of eavesdropping on the emperor's speech will be punished by demotion, and if you hear something that should not be heard, it is possible to behead all the doors.

The emperor naturally wanted to punish her, so he asked Su Youyi in every possible way who the corner of the pink skirt was, Xu Changzai escaped the catastrophe, and he really felt like he was reborn in his heart.

Su Youyi just smiled and didn't speak, she helped Xu Changzai just to form a good fate, that was her subconscious reaction, there was no purpose, and now naturally there is no need for Xu Chang to do anything.

Xu Changzai seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Su Youyi: "Does Concubine Zhao know that Master Ji, who was knocked down by Jiang Guiren last time and broke his head, has now entered the cabinet?" ”

Su Youyi said with a smile: "Although this palace has been inconvenient recently and rarely goes out and about, I still know such a big news. I heard that because of Lord Ji's affairs, the palace is now much more polite to Li Changzai. What's the matter, is Chang Li looking for trouble with you? ”

"Nope."

Xu Changzai smiled bitterly and said: "The concubine and Li Changzai had some quarrels before, but Li Changzai was from a noble background, how could he hold on to the concubine because of a mere quarrel?" It's just that...... The queen mother saw that Lord Ji was in the limelight, and Li Changzai's status in the harem was also rising, so she couldn't sit still. ”

Su Youyi was slightly surprised, and almost immediately understood what Xu Chang meant.

"Do you mean, in order to curry favor with Li Changzai, the queen actually asked you to befriend Li Changzai?"

Xu Chang frowned and bowed slightly.

Su Youyi couldn't cry or laugh, "Don't you know that the queen mother has had a quarrel with Li Changzai?" Although a little dispute is not a big deal, but at this time, let you take the initiative to please Li Changzai, thinking that Li Changzai's temperament will not give you a good look, wouldn't it wronged you? ”
