"At the end of Cheng Shun, the concubine was a palace person, and it was recommended by the Empress Dowager Zhaohui. Enter the East Palace, so that the maid can enter. - "The Scroll of the Queen's Concubine"

Zhang Qingyi never thought that she would have today.

Qingyi was just a palace maid serving in the Empress Dowager's Wanshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager disliked that the tea she drank on weekdays was a taste, so Qingyi put a few dried green plum blossoms in the tea cup.

Because of these green plum blossoms, Qingyi's life has changed.

"Would you like to change your identity and bring glory to yourself and your family?" Qingyi thought of what the Empress Dowager said to her that day.

Glory? Rich?

To tell the truth, although Qingyi has lived with her mother in her uncle's house since she was a child, her mother's mother's family, the Lin family, was a famous imperial merchant family at that time, and it was rich and glorious for several generations.

Even if because of his identity, he can't enter the imperial examination according to the rules of the Xin Dynasty, but such a full house of wealth and wealth, even if he can't enter and leave the officialdom, he will enjoy endless gold and jade brilliance for several generations.

But even if he has a lot of money, he is only a third-class commoner among the four levels of this dynasty, although he is not the lowest, but he has also been ridiculed by many people in this palace.

The glory that the Empress Dowager said was just to let her sleep for the current prince and become one of the concubines of the East Palace.

What's more, I can't help but say whether she is willing or not, the words spoken by the high-ranking Empress Dowager are not allowed to be disobeyed.

Qingyi was waiting for the palace people, bathed in fragrant soup, carefully coated with pearl powder with jasmine and peony flower juice twisted incense powder, put on a moon-white pendant bead pleated Ruyi skirt, put on a cloud brocade tooth-colored pendant embroidered rice beads wrapped with branches and moon flowers, and put on a plain yarn sleeve embroidered Acacia Ruyi cloud pattern of the silk.

The long green silk is tied into a snail bun, with a crown of faces, decorated with a plain silver hairpin, which can really be described as "cloud sideburns and flowers and golden steps, and longevity is slippery and washes and gelatins".

Qingyi looked at herself in the mirror, although her face was not first-class, but her temples and faces, pink and distant mountains, she was also a beautiful person.

Qingyi held a tray of colorful golden phoenix operas and double butterflies, knelt on the ground with the plate with both hands, raised his eyebrows, and said respectfully: "I respectfully invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to use tea." ”

The crown prince Li Chun was served by Qingyi, took a shallow sip, and the tea flowed to the mouthpiece, and he saw the green plum blossoms inside.

"Do you like plum blossoms very much? Why is there still a green plum blossom in this tea? ”

Qingyi settled down, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Pu'er paid this year is slightly bitter compared with previous years, and the slave maid has added green plum blossoms and pine needles to reconcile. ”

Li Chun listened, said a faint "oh", drank the tea, and said coldly: "This palace is asking, do you like green plum blossoms very much?" ”

"Yes......"

When Qingyi said that he liked green plum blossoms, Li Chun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his frowning eyebrows twisted into a dark cloud.

Obviously, it was a look of extreme disbelief, "You can calculate, I don't know, where did you learn this?" ”

"Your Highness...... Slave ......"

Qingyi was a little dazed, and before she could finish speaking, she was pressed under Li Chun.

This is the first time she has seen the prince's appearance, a pair of dark and deep eyes are as if bottomless, the face is delicate, the breath is heroic, he is a handsome man, his face is like a crown of jade.

Li Chun, as a man, pressed on Qingyi's body with a heavy weight, and was nervous, and felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, and after a while, Qingyi's face began to turn red.

"What? Are you shy? Didn't the elders in the palace teach you? Such a good look, but he is blind. ”

Li Chun is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and even if he has been through personnel for a long time, he will inevitably have something called lust for the beauty of girls.

In an instant, it seemed that all the blood in my heart was surging.

The young man's heart was full of blood, but it instantly calmed down.

What calmed it down were the tears of Qingyi, the cold, desperate tears, which, in an instant, extinguished all the flames.

At that moment, Qingyi didn't actually resist anything, because she knew that it was useless to resist.

It was only when the two people's bodies were infinitely close that she unconsciously remembered the shadow that had been lingering in her heart for a long time, the young man who rode by under the green plum blossoms.

"The concubine makes the green plum with a short wall, and the king rides a white horse and hangs the poplar."

Farewell today, from now on, there will be no future.

Thinking about it, crystal tears quietly fell and fell on Li Chun's arm.

Li Chundang even stopped, stood up, untied his coat, threw it to Qingyi casually, and said in a cold tone: "Let's put it on, this is the end of what you should do." ”

After saying that, he wanted to go to the door, but when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, turned back, and sat on the ground facing Qingyi.

For some reason, looking at Qingyi like this, Li Chun was slightly touched.

Although he tried his best to tell himself not to be deceived by Qingyi, he was just a layman who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix. It's just a gift from the Guanzhong Party headed by the Empress Dowager, and it is a symbol of his acceptance of the hearts of the nobles of the Guanzhong Party.

It's just a deal, nothing to be sorry for.

But I don't know why, but that heart can't be hardened anymore.

Soft, with a hint of sympathy.

There are a few flower candles burning in the hall, in order to create an atmosphere, it is not very bright, this faint light, impartially hit a plain silver tassel hairpin on the head, slightly dazzling.

Li Chun closed his eyes and opened them immediately.

Looking at Qingyi sitting on the ground curled up and crying, his clothes were disheveled, his sideburns were loose, like a frightened little beast, and his eyes were extremely godless.

The unbearability in my heart is a little more.

What brought Qingyi back from her trance was a breath of blood.

"Your Highness...... You...... What does this do? ”

What made Qingyi almost scream was that Li Chun rolled up his sleeves, took the hairpin and slashed it on his arm, the blood flowed down, dripping on the white silk, and instantly bloomed bright red flowers, like a cluster of red plums in the white snow, awakening people's hearts.

"The woman given to me by the emperor's great-grandmother needs to be completed." Li Chun said calmly.

"Wait until tomorrow, naturally someone will take you into the East Palace, this palace ......" Li Chun paused, "I will give you a name, since the emperor's great-grandmother has already taught you to serve me, then you will not be less than what you deserve." ”

"Your Highness......" Qingyi didn't know what to say.

"The emperor's great-grandmother arranged for you to sleep in the palace, so what should be done in the face, the palace will do it. It's just that you have to remember that that's it, not more. ”

Li Chun said such words expressionlessly, like the sharp ice edges hanging under the eaves of the palace in the cold winter, piercing his heart into the bone-chilling coldness that could no longer be turned around.

"Congratulations to the lady, the joy of pampering last night."
