"Please Luo Guiren! Luo Guiren, the queen mother recently got a few new pots of good spring greetings, and I want the slave to come and invite you to go to the Qingluan Hall to enjoy the flowers! ”

The person who came to Weiyang Palace to spread the word was Ma Xingde, the chief administrator of the Ouchi. This person is a cronie who He Tong pulled up with one hand.

Luo Zhen sat in front of the bronze mirror, combing through the three thousand troubles, first smiled, and then said softly: "The concubine knows." And here it goes. ”

Since Luo Zhen entered the palace, Xu Ziling has been cherished and favored in every way, and he has come to Weiyang Palace almost every night, and there is a tendency that the king will not be early in the dynasty. Empress He Tong and the other concubines were left to dry. As the queen, He Tong rules the six palaces, although he is not angry in his heart, he must also be tolerant and generous, and must not leave a reputation of jealousy. What's more, her reputation for being virtuous and virtuous is outside, and she must not make jokes out of proportion. As long as she is the queen for a day, she will be the wife of Xu Ziling Mingming, and others will not be allowed to trespass.

Luo Zhen only made a brief gesture, and then took Xin Yue towards Qingluan Palace.

Luo Zhen wore an aqua blue skirt today, wearing only a plain gauze dress. The smooth and jade-like forehead is lightly dotted with blue-green emerald dian, which is shining, fresh and chic. The willow eyebrows are slender and charming, and the eyes are flowing, looking forward to life. A very small red mole at the end of the eye is even more peculiar in three points and mysterious in seven points.

"Yo, which palace is this? I've never seen it before. ”

Coincidentally, they were about to arrive at the gate of Qingluan Palace, but Luo Zhen and Xin Yue met Concubine Xi head-on.

Concubine Xi is the daughter of Meng Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, whose real name is Meng Xi, and she was born pretty and plump. Before Luo Zhen entered the palace, she was the most sacred-hearted person in Xu Ziling's harem, except for He Tong.

"Concubine Luo Zhen see Concubine Xi."

Luo Zhen blessed her body in a proper manner, but Concubine Xi didn't let her get up, and her tone was full of sourness: "Who should I be, I was the famous Luo Guiren!" Can I hear that the emperor is such a fox for you, but he doesn't even care about court affairs? ”

Concubine Xi smiled. His Majesty is diligent in government affairs day and night, and Luo Zhen just wants to share His Majesty's worries. The concubine is just a little nobleman, how can she afford the four words 'Ding Ding Da Ming'? ”

Xi Concubine punched the cotton, and her face was not very good-looking.

"Let's go inside!"

"Yes."

Luo Zhen's demeanor was full of emotion, and he didn't see the rouge and vulgar powder in the Red Fragrance Building. Compared with Xi Concubine, it is even more fresh and refined.

"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an."

"Get up. Ink incense, give a seat. ”

"Yes, sissy."

Luo Zhen sat down at the lower end, with a humble expression, without the arrogance of the harem's favorite concubine. This made the concubines who wanted to stir up trouble at today's flower viewing banquet a little confused and at a loss.

"Luo Guiren, I heard in this palace that you occasionally feel a cold, have you ever asked the imperial doctor to come and see it?"

"Thanks to the grace of God, Imperial Physician Li has already checked the pulse of the concubine's body and prescribed a prescription. Imperial Physician Li said that as long as the concubine is willing to recuperate, she will not catch a cold during this period, and she will be able to ensure that she is fine. Annoying the queen's mother, worried. ”

"That's good."

Imperial Physician Li is the head of the Imperial Hospital, Xu Ziling's imperial physician, and he easily does not treat his concubines. He Tong's eyes were intertwined with light and shadow, and his emotions were difficult to distinguish, but he still had a smile on his face, gentle and generous.

"Queen Mother, didn't you say that you asked us to come over to enjoy the flowers? All of them are together, where are the flowers? ”

He Tong scolded with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go, let's go to the courtyard with the main palace to have a look. ”

"Yes."

Everyone moved to the west courtyard of the Qingluan Palace, and they could see a few blooming spring trees. Their branches are long, slender and graceful. Some flowers only have two or three petals, and you can faintly glimpse the tender yellow stamens in them. In the ice and snow of the square wall in these four corners, they are like delicate and beautiful girls, showing their beauty. The dense leaves among the flowers leaned together, like children who had not woken up from their dreams.

"Jin Yingcui's calyx is cold in spring, how many are there in the yellow flowers? With the gentleman's language to the tourists, don't be a cranberry flower. ”

"Luo Guiren is reading Bai Juyi's "Playing Spring Flowers for Yang Langzhong"?"

Luo Zhen looked back and smiled, she said, "It's Mr. Lotte's poem." ”​

"The nobleman is really knowledgeable." Lin Chang was sneering, and his tone was full of ridicule: "I don't know if the concubine is a concubine, Luo Guiren is a dancing girl, and he can still understand Wenmo?" ”

I don't know how long it will take, and the movement of talking heads and ears in the courtyard has stopped unconsciously. Everyone looked at each other, all waiting to see Luo Zhen's joke.

"Lin Chang is here, although Luo Zhen is from a humble background, he also knows the truth that 'a gentleman is tempted to forbear, and he has benefited from what he can't'. You are truly a scholarly person, why don't you understand that 'born in sorrow and died in peace'? Luo Zhen still smiled in his answers, without losing everyone's demeanor.

"You ......"

He Tong watched coldly from the side. This Luo Zhen is really not a simple commodity.

"Queen Mother, the concubine looked at her and looked a little thirsty. As...... How about the sisters go and drink some flower tea together? Concubine Xi suggested.

"Hmm. Xiang'er, serve tea. ”

"Yes."

The group sat around the stone table. After a while, six palace maids brought more than a dozen cups of flower tea of different shapes and colors.

"Yo, look at the tricks! It's really fresh! The concubine has never seen it! ”

He Tong smiled and said: "This is the crystal cup that the lord of Chen Guo just sent recently, and the emperor sent a few to come." If the sisters have a fancy to them, just take them. ”

Concubine Xi fell in love with an osmanthus cup at a glance and took the lead in taking it away. It stands to reason that Luo Zhen's position is higher than Lin Changzai's, and the next person to choose a teacup should be Luo Zhen. Among the colorful crystal cups, there is just one engraved with Luo Zhen's favorite plum blossoms, and in the transparent cup, the blood-red plum blossom pattern is exquisite, and the style is unique. Luo Zhen just glanced at it, and Lin Changzai was keenly aware of it.

Lin Changzai directly skipped Luo Zhen, took the first step to pick up the plum blossom cup, and said proudly: "This plum blossom cup is bright in color, and the concubine likes it very much." The queen will give it to the concubine. ”

"No......" Concubine Xi wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes were a little eager, but she didn't continue to speak.

"Lin Changzai likes it, take it."

"Xie Niangniang!"

Luo Zhen observed his words and looks, and had already seen that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. You can't live if you do your own iniquity. She watched Lin Changzai drink half a cup of flower tea from a plum blossom cup. But for a moment, Lin Chang immediately sweated profusely on his forehead, and his abdominal pain was unbearable, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

"Ah...... Help me! The queen's mother, the concubine is ...... My stomach hurts! Empress...... Help me......"

Lin Changzai began to foam at the mouth, and his whole body convulsed. Seeing this, the queen got up in a panic and said hurriedly: "Imperial Doctor! Xiang'er, hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor! ”

Qingluan Hall was in a mess, and the concubines were all shocked, and some even screamed or cried. The imperial doctors were edicted and soon rushed to Qingluan Hall to save people. And the Tai Hospital also verified that the plum blossom cup that Lin Chang was drinking was indeed poisoned.

When Lin Chang was asleep, the queen had sent someone to invite Xu Ziling. And she herself stayed by Lin Changzai's side for a moment, serving the decoction in person. Just when everyone thought that Lin Changzai was about to die, Lin Changzai woke up - she was finally saved by life.

"Lin Changzai, are you awake?"

"Queen Mother......" Lin Changzai's breath was still unstable and looked extremely weak.

"What's wrong with you?"

"The concubine Xie Niangniang cared for her...... Mother......

"Huh?"

"This time, it must be...... It must be Luo Zhen's little slut who wants to hurt me! Lin Changzai's face showed a fierce light, his eyes were fierce, and he was extremely angry.

"Don't talk nonsense!" The queen gave her a warning look, and then said softly, "Don't worry. Take care of your body, and this palace will help you find the murderer. ”

"Mother, please ...... You have to trust me! It must be Luo Zhen! It's Luo Zhen...... Hurt me! She knows...... She knew I was going to grab her cup...... It had to be her! Poisoned the cup beforehand! ”

"The queen mother, the concubines also think that Luo Guiren is very suspicious." Concubine Xi helped, and glanced at Luo Zhen, who was quiet like a virgin beside her, with jealousy.

The queen turned her head to look at Luo Zhen and asked, "Luo Guiren, are you willing to defend yourself?" ”

"Queen Mother, the concubine has never done this, how can she justify it?" Luo Zhen learned the essence of Ji Zhen's calm and calm way of doing things.

"According to this palace, you are a thief with a weak heart, and you dare not admit it!"

"Concubine Xi, please correct your words and deeds. You now have no evidence to identify the concubine as the murderer. ”

"Isn't that the plum cup the most direct evidence?"

"All the sisters have seen it, and the concubine has never touched the poisonous plum blossom cup. It was Lin Changzai's reward that he asked for from the queen's mother. ”

"You're quibbling!"

"Presumptuous!"

Xu Ziling hurriedly walked into the room.

"Your Majesty!"

"The concubine (body) sees the emperor!"

"Concubine Xi, when did I give you such the courage to dare to reverse right and wrong?" The Emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have been wronged, Your Majesty! It was Luo Zhen who had ill intentions and bad intentions, and wanted to murder Lin Changzai! The concubine just talked about the matter and complained about Sister Lin! There is no intention of framing! Concubine Xi cried, but she couldn't get Xu Ziling's trust.

"Your Majesty, presumably Sister Xi is just too anxious and panicked......

Before He Tong finished speaking, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xu Ziling: "Queen, as the lord of the six palaces, you are in charge of the phoenix seal, and you must be rewarded and punished clearly. Why are you so unreasonable and can't distinguish between black and white? ”

"The Emperor's ......"

He Tong's eyes widened in disbelief. She didn't expect that in order to protect Luo Zhen, Xu Ziling would say such things to her.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother and sister Xi Concubine did not do anything excessive to the concubine. Your Majesty doesn't have to. ”

"Luo'er, this is how you repeatedly back down, so that they will think that you are weak and can be bullied!"

Xu Ziling walked up to Luo Zhen, hugged her body, and condescendingly said to the women in the hall: "You all listen to me!" Luo Zhen is a noble person who is personally sealed! If any of you is dissatisfied with her, or provokes trouble for no reason, you are challenging my authority! Regarded as a rebel! ”

"Yes......"
