The appearance of the palace is no different from the past, the peony in the imperial garden, the begonia tree next to the Taiye Pond, and the chessboard in the Mochizuki Pavilion, there is no one in this palace to take the tea and cool the saying, after all, the most important thing in the palace is people.

It's just that there are always some things that are slowly changing, just like I can walk in the palace at will now, and there are always a lot of people behind me, or holding fans, or holding tea, or holding melons and fruits, in short, everyone is saying that Emperor Jingde is at the tip of his heart for Princess Changle.

"Sister-in-law, when is my brother free?"

The sister-in-law in my mouth is the current Empress Mingxi, when my brother was still a prince, she got married, I like this sister-in-law very much, she is knowledgeable, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gentle, always gentle and gentle in speaking, without half a temper, very good to me, even more good to my brother.

In this palace, even though there are a few concubines who don't know where to call, I always only want to call her sister-in-law, and I only love to talk to her.

"Do you want to find Ah Yan as you wish?" My sister-in-law took me by the hand and was going to take me to the Qianqing Palace, where my brother was dealing with government affairs during the day.

"Ah Yan is your brother, even if he is now the emperor, he is also your brother, if you wish, you must not be separated from Ah Yan because of this, otherwise Ah Yan will be unhappy."

My sister-in-law smiled and said to me, in fact, although I have returned to the palace in recent days, I rarely see my brother, and sometimes I can see the lights of the Qianqing Palace at night.

I hugged my sister-in-law's arm, and my troubled thoughts seemed to have run out for many days, and my brother couldn't come to look for me because of the busy government, why can't I go to find my brother, my brother is always a brother.

"Sister-in-law is so nice."

"It's good that I'm getting my wish."

My sister-in-law's smile is gentle, I love to see my sister-in-law's smile the most, she will show the shallow pear vortex on the side of her mouth when she smiles, as if she will ripple people's hearts with spring water, I really hope that my sister-in-law can continue to laugh like this.

But after arriving at the door of the Qianqing Palace, my sister-in-law stopped smiling, I looked for her gaze, there were several people standing at the door, the leader was a woman dressed in coral-colored palace clothes, and the golden hairpin at one end shook so much that my eyes were going to dazzle, I really admired this woman, wearing so many beads and hairpins that her head could be raised so high.

"Yo, why is Sister Queen here?"

Although I don't know much about the rules in the palace, I know one, except for the emperor and the queen mother, all the women in the palace have to salute when they see the queen, and no one knows this rule better than me.

I have never been very fond of rainy days, because of the rain A-Niang will have a pain in the legs, my brother went to Yue Shuge to listen to the master's lecture and has not returned, A-Niang always said that she is an unfavored concubine, but she is very fortunate to give birth to me and my brother, and I am very fortunate to have my brother and A-Niang.

So when I went to the imperial dining room to get a meal, and was once again coldly looked at by the eunuchs, and was very unlucky because I accidentally bumped into the queen, I only had to think about my brother and A-Niang, I felt that kneeling in the rain and being punished was actually fine, as long as it didn't affect them, but A-Niang was still waiting for me in the palace, and she couldn't see me, she would move her legs to the door to wait for me, so heavy rain, how painful A-Niang's legs were.

And the food box in my arms, no matter how I dodged, the rain still drenched them, I felt very uncomfortable, people will cry when they are uncomfortable, maybe because the discomfort will fall with tears, so after crying, it will be much better.

But in the palace, you can't cry casually, I haven't cried loudly, so I was taught a few words by the grandmother next to me: "What are you crying for, you still have the courage to cry when you collide with your mother, it's hard to punish you, you are still wronged!" ”

I can't be wronged, but fortunately, there is this rain, so as long as I don't make a sound, my grandmother doesn't know that I'm crying, but when Jiang Zitang walked past me, I still couldn't help but choke up.

He walked behind the four princes, stepping on the green bricks step by step, among a few princes who talked and laughed, he said very little, only one or two times a while, his eyebrows and eyes were colder than the rain falling on his body, fortunately he didn't look at me, otherwise I would definitely hug him and cry.

Mama didn't dare to speak loudly this time, she lowered her head like me, but the bad thing is that the third prince also saw me, he is a flawed person who will be avenged, but because I bit him when I was a child, he has a grudge until now, but whenever he catches me any little mistake, he will make a big noise, and now that he sees me punished, he will laugh at me again.

"Yo, isn't this the sixth sister, what's the matter, it's still kneeling here in such heavy rain."

Sure enough, I don't need to look at him to know what a smug look he is, I won't answer, I just want them to leave quickly, teenage girls already know how to be ashamed, and it's the worst thing to be seen embarrassed by someone you like.

I bit my lower lip tightly, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold back my tears, but the third prince was unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity to laugh at me.

"Brother and sister are brother and sister, my brother is punished, and my sister is also punished, it's really heartfelt."

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the rain dripping from my hair makes it difficult for me to open my eyes, I know that life in this palace is not easy, although my brother is a prince, and he is qualified to go to Yue Shuge to listen to the master's teaching, but he is inevitably bullied by others, sometimes I can often see my brother's good books being scratched out of shape, or the homework done is suddenly gone, or it is deliberately pushing the wrong things on my brother, it is never the palace that makes people afraid, but the people in the palace who are afraid.

"The Three Princes."

"What for?"

The third prince looked back impatiently, it was Jiang Zitang who spoke just now, even if the rain was loud, his voice was still clear to his ears.

"The emperor must have something important to summon the princes, and it is not good to be blamed by the emperor if he wastes time here."

Jiang Zitang stood at the end with an umbrella, I didn't have the strength to look up at him anymore, I could only really feel that I was shivering, it was too cold, the rain was cold, and the people were cold.

The word "emperor" is really the most useful, several princes immediately stopped laughing, but urged the third prince to leave quickly, this small world seems to be the only one left after a while, even grandma is afraid of the rain and refuses to accompany me, although she will only keep scolding me when she is around.

The sound of footsteps in my ears passed by, and the prince deliberately stepped on it heavily, and the rain flew up and splashed on my face, and I had to hold the food box tighter, so that the rain would not seep in again.

When the light footsteps walked past me, I knew that this person was Jiang Zitang, he still loved dark clothes, even the cloak on the outside was the same, suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing in my ears, I shivered in the cold, but something suddenly covered me from my head, there was only a black piece in front of me, I felt as if someone stopped.

"Jiang Zitang, hurry up, if you fall off, it's just a cloak."

I heard someone say this, the footsteps only stopped for a while and then continued to walk forward, and then I heard Jiang Zitang say very lightly Well, it turned out that this was his cloak, it must have been accidentally blown off by the gust of wind just now, he originally wanted to take it back.

I want to thank the wind, although the owner of the cloak is unwilling, but the cloak has also kept me out of the rain.

Meeting the queen is a big deal, the first thing is to salute, this is one of the rules I learned in the palace, so when I see this woman in the coral palace dress has no intention of saluting, I think it is the worst for my sister-in-law.

"Why don't you salute?"

My questioning had no effect on the woman, her head was raised higher, and I only felt very tired.

"Who are you? Dare to talk to Hongu like this. Her tone sounded unkind, and it was the first time she had been questioned like this, and she looked very unhappy, and her eyes were full of disdain when she glanced at me.

My sister-in-law patted my hand, and for her to look at me like this, my sister-in-law frowned, and even her tone became serious: "Concubine Jia, this is Changle, I just returned to the palace a few days ago." ”

Concubine Jia, I have heard more or less in the palace these days, she is the daughter of the mighty general of the court, and she is the most domineering in the palace.

I am not very interested in this Jia Guifei, after all, the temperament of the concubine is usually not very good, although at the moment she showed a smiling face and wanted to come over and hold me, but when I thought of her full head of beads, I was afraid, if she held me, the weight of this body would not be half of me.

Fortunately, the father-in-law Fu who was standing at the door saw this, he was the chief eunuch beside his brother, and his words also carried a bit of weight, and he didn't know if his brother was busy at the moment, so it was better to ask him first.

"Father-in-law Fu, can the imperial brother be inside?"

"Ouch, Princess Changle, you can think about coming, the emperor is talking to you every day, the emperor has been busy these days, if you don't come again, the emperor will go to you."

Fu Gonggong smiled with joy on his face, and the folds on his face one by one made me feel like the chrysanthemums that bloom in autumn in the Imperial Garden.

I couldn't help but lie in my sister-in-law's ear and tell her about this little discovery, my sister-in-law nodded my forehead and said I was naughty, I pulled my sister-in-law to go in, but my sister-in-law was not with me.

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the palace is inconvenient to bother, so if you wish to go in and have a look."

In the past, my sister-in-law was not like this, in the past, my sister-in-law loved to make some clear soup and send it to my brother in the study, every time there was laughter in the study, I knew that my sister-in-law went to find my brother, at that time, if I was thick-skinned and sprinkled some coquettish on my sister-in-law, I could also get a bowl of drink, and my sister-in-law said that my brother was still my brother when he became the emperor, and he was still my sister-in-law's husband, so why did it become an "inconvenient chatter"?

My sister-in-law didn't say much, but Concubine Najia was quite annoying, so she insisted on pulling me to go with me, pretending to be very enthusiastic, "I didn't expect this to be Changle, no wonder I said where did such a beautiful girl come from." ”

The world always doesn't blink when they tell lies, I don't look beautiful when I'm young, at most it's beautiful, only a pair of eyes are good, as if I can speak, this is not my boast, I remember which lady said this at the palace banquet back then, "This little six, the eyes are good, smart, and can speak." ”

If others praise you for no reason, this half may be true, and the other half is what do you want to pay to be worthy of her praise, the praise of the lady back then, so that I still have more or less shadows, and now this Jia Guifei is also to go in with me.

It's just that before I can figure out how to refuse, Gonggong Fu spoke, and the folds around his eyes are still one after another, "Concubine Jia, don't embarrass the princess, the emperor has been very busy with state affairs these days, you see that even the queen mother can't watch it." ”

The word emperor is really the most useful, and in the end, I was still the only one who entered the Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Jia had already whistled and beckoned a bunch of people to leave, and my sister-in-law straightened my collar for me, and said with a smile: "Go quickly, the emperor must have been waiting for us to get our wish." ”

Before entering the hall, I looked back, my sister-in-law was still standing there, she had never loved the gold hairpin jade beads, but the queen could not wear too plain, so the hairpin on the hairpin was a gold Fei Fengming jewelry hairpin, in my eyes is very shiny, but my sister-in-law's eyes are not as bright as this treasure hairpin, I suddenly found that it seems that only in front of me, sister-in-law will call my brother as a wild goose as usual.

Thinking about things in my heart, the pace was naturally slower, Father-in-law Fu led the way in front, I walked slowly, I could only hear that the brother seemed to be talking to someone, Father-in-law Fu went in first to report, and then I saw someone coming.

When I was a child, I always felt very majestic when I saw my father wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and now my brother is wearing it, but there is also a little shadow of my father, but my brother will smile at me.

"Haha, if you wish you, you have no conscience, and finally thought of coming to the imperial brother, it seems that you don't want the imperial brother."

"What's the matter, I can think of it."

My brother smiled and scratched my nose, and there was a smile in his eyes, and I grinned and grabbed my brother's sleeve at the same time, I loved it when I was a child in a strange place, and this habit has always changed.

The elder brother shook his head helplessly, "You, it's still like this, don't be afraid, the imperial brother is here." ”

I nodded, but I still refused to let go, there were really a lot of people in it, they should all be ministers in the court, and there was a person standing at the front, white-clothed, as if he was in another world, it was Jiang Zitang!

My footsteps suddenly couldn't move, he stood inside, I stood outside, as usual, there are too many mountains and rivers between us, his eyebrows are still so good-looking, I have read some books over the years, the world loves to compare the gentleman to jade, such as saying that the gentleman is like jade, gentle and moist, but also there is a book, there are bandit gentlemen, such as gold and tin, such as Gui Rubi.

These nice words are not too much to describe him, I suddenly want to ask Aya, today's combed hair is good-looking, the dress can fit, the makeup is beautiful, the woman is a self-pleaser, I found that I still want to show him the best side of myself, but he has seen too many indecent sides of me.

I didn't dare to look at him more, and when several courtiers wanted to kneel, I hurriedly shouted that there was no need to be polite, I didn't want him to kneel to me, and I didn't like him to be a dwarf.

My brother took me to him and sat down, and said to me with a smile: "It's a good time to come as I wish, I just thought about where to build your princess's mansion, the palace is boring, you will definitely not be able to stay, you think about where you like to build, I will let people build it." ”

The palace is really boring, there are no street lamps to see, no shadow puppets to play, to say that it is still lively outside the palace, I was thinking about when to talk to my brother, but I didn't expect my brother to think of it first, but the following ministers have strange eyes, in fact, how do I know that they are talking about Jiangnan weaving, which is what princess mansion.

I seriously thought about it, 12th Street is the most lively, but it is too far away from the palace, it is not good to see my sister-in-law, although Tianjing Street is close, but it is not very fun.

"The minister has a discussion, if it is built on Lingshui Street, it is more prosperous and not far from the palace, it just so happens that the former German Wang's Mansion is empty, and the mansion can be repaired to live, and the time is fast."

Jiang Zitang inexplicably opened his mouth to make such a suggestion, I couldn't help but sneak a glance at him with my eyes, but I bumped into his gaze, just like the stars shining, I hurriedly lowered my head, and my heart beat like a drum.

The elder brother pondered for a while, and suddenly said happily: "Hey, Zitang, I remember that your mansion is also on Lingshui Street, right?" ”

"Yes, the minister's mansion happens to be next to the Dewang Mansion."

"This is good, this is good, if it is there, I can also let you take care of it more on weekdays, originally I was not at ease to let you live out of the palace as you wish."

I can't hear what my brother said clearly, I only know that Jiang Zitang's mansion is actually on Lingshui Street, or next to King De's mansion, in this way, isn't the princess's mansion to be built next to his mansion, how is this good, how can I bear not to think about him, not to see him, a wall apart, this distance I have never thought of, although in the past I also thought about living in a room, what raised eyebrows, what you paint and I write poems, I have thought about it, but now I dare not think about it, just close, Thinking about it again, I still feel very uncomfortable.

White-clothed, gentle as Ze, I raised my eyes to look at him, my heart was full of bitterness, he was talking to his brother, he didn't look at me, presumably Fangcai's proposal was just because of the duty of a courtier.

"What does the princess think?" Jiang Zitang looked at me and asked, there was a shallow smile on his lips, sure enough, the white color looked much better than the dark color, and he didn't feel old and serious at all, and even his eyebrows and eyes were much gentler than before.

I pulled out a smile, I don't want to laugh in my heart, I like you, naturally I like to be closer to you, but what I want to be happy is that I hope you can be sincere, sincerely hope that I live on Lingshui Street, next to your house, day and night, only a wall apart, not that the goddess has a dream, King Xiang has no intention, if it is not for my brother to ask, how can you speak.

"It's all good." I looked down and heard myself reply.
