On May 28th, Lingxi was feeding the crickets caught the night before to the wren hanging on the cloister of Luomeixuan, feeding one, and his mouth read, "Even the rain does not know the spring, and the summer is deep when it is sunny." ”

These two poems are selected from Fan Chengda's "Xiqing" in the Song Dynasty.

The Dashun Dynasty was in the middle of history, and its folk customs were similar to those of the late Tang Dynasty. The poem "Xiqing" was written by a poet of the Song Dynasty and is not recorded in the Dashun Dynasty. The reason why Lingxi knows these two sentences is that his partner in the previous life often muttered it.

She didn't read much in her last life, and she didn't know much poetry, so it was helpless to take it out and read it now.

Lingxi lives freely, but some people don't stop. Xiao Xiazi kicked her father-in-law for a while and went straight to Luomei Xuan. When he entered Luomei Xuan, he saw Lingxi standing on the porch to feed Brother Wren, and without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed twice, which attracted frequent sideways glances from the craftsmen in Luomei Xuan.

Seeing Xiao Xiazi kneeling down and kowtowing in front of him, Lingxi hurriedly put the crickets in his hand back into the cage, and went down the corridor to help Xiao Xiazi up, "Grandpa Xia, why is this?" Hurry up! ”

Xiao Xiazi's stature is taller than the spirit rhino, and when he stands up, the spirit rhino only reaches his chest. When Xiao Xiazi saw this, he hurriedly led the spirit rhino to stand on the corridor, and he retreated to the courtyard outside the corridor, looking up at the spirit rhino.

Lingxi's mind turned nine times, sneering in his heart, but he said with fear on his face, "Grandpa Xia, why is this?" I was supposed to say goodbye to my father-in-law. As he spoke, he was about to bless Grandpa Xia outside the corridor.

Xiao Xiazi saw that Lingxi was blessing in the corridor, and he couldn't stop him, so he could only pounce and kneel down again, "Miss Ling'er, you can torture Xiao Xiazi." ”

Lingxi stood up straight, and said in a milky voice, "Father-in-law Xia is older than me, and he is a eunuch waiting in the Changle Palace, I should have saluted my father-in-law, why bother?" You kneel on me at every turn, but you really torment me......"

Xiao Xiazi slapped himself on the mouth, and said to Lingxi with a sad face, "Miss Ling'er, you will spare my dog's life......"

Xiao Xiazi's actions made Lingxi confused, she didn't have much contact with Xiao Xiazi when she was waiting in the Changle Hall before, and the two of them nodded at most. But Xiao Xiazi won't say these words plainly, but can only say that this Xiao Xiazi is also one of the stumbling blocks.

After thinking about these things clearly, a hint of an indifferent smile hung on the corner of Lingxi's mouth, "What is Grandpa Xia talking about?" I'm a craftsman who feeds birds, how can I get the ability to kill you? I also hope that Father-in-law Xia will come to Luomei Xuanzhong more in the future to walk around, and to support Ling'er, this day will be a little better. ”

Xiao Xiazi's face turned white suddenly, she got up from the courtyard, walked to the porch and knelt down against Lingxi, and whispered for mercy, "Girl, don't be confused with your understanding...... On that day, you were sent back by the Queen Mother to train birds, and it was indeed a slave who received the benefits of jasper, so you arranged your little words in front of the Queen Mother......"

Xiao Xiazi recently got an errand job in the Yongshou Palace, and sometimes the Empress Dowager Cui would pass him on to ask a question and tell interesting stories in various palaces. Xiao Xiazi is already clever and clever in speaking, and she is quite comfortable in front of Empress Dowager Cui.

One day, he received the benefits of Jasper, and he sang and drank with Jasper in front of the Empress Dowager Cui, and many people in the harem talked about the Empress Dowager Cui, and the person who was waiting for tea was a craftsman who used to serve the birds.

Empress Dowager Cui came to the palace to wait in front of the palace on a whim, but the rise at this time could not reduce her status. That's why in a joke, let the spirit rhino go back to Meixuan to train the bird, and then go back after the training. In this way, he did not violate what he said before, and sent the spirit rhino away.

The reason for this is that Lingxi doesn't know, she only knows that Jasper is bad behind her, so the decisive character of killing revenge will go back.

After listening to Xiao Xiazi's words, the smile on Lingxi's face became stronger, and he stretched out his hand to help Xiao Xiazi up, and said, "Ling'er is a craftsman who trains birds, and it is Ling'er's blessing to be able to wait in front of the Queen Mother." Training birds for the Queen Mother is the same as being an errand for the Queen Mother, and there is no resentment in my heart. It's just that what Father-in-law Xia said today, you know it, I know it, and God knows it, but you must not let a third person know, otherwise it will ......"

Lingxi didn't say the following words, but Xiao Xiazi's heart trembled. Instigating the master, if it is light, it is to lose his own head, and if it is heavy, it is a matter of destroying the nine clans.

At that moment, he knelt down and made three more noises to Lingxi, and then immediately stood up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Thank you Miss Ling'er for your generosity, Xiao Xiazi will definitely repay it in the future." ”

Lingxi picked up the cricket cage again, and said to Xiao Xia Zi with a light smile, "Grandpa Xia came to visit Ling'er today, and Ling'er is grateful." Thinking that my father-in-law still has errands to do in front of the palace, let's go back quickly. ”

Xiao Xiazi organized a meeting, gritted his teeth and said, "Please Miss Ling'er go back to the palace and wait!" ”

Lingxi raised his eyebrows, he had been here for so long, chattering about such nonsense, and finally got to the point.

Seeing that Lingxi didn't speak, and only cared about teasing Brother Wren with crickets, Xiao Xiazi was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Girl, the eunuchs and palace maids in the front hall have all changed." None of the new palace maids who came to serve the Queen Mother understood the preferences of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother had smashed the tea cup for three days in a row...... Wake up and go back. ”

Lingxi frowned, and his face was angry, "It's really unbelievable, how noble the Queen Mother is, how can the Yeting Palace change all the close palace maids around the Queen Mother?" ”

Xiao Xia Zi stood there and didn't dare to answer Lingxi's words.

Most of the palace maids and eunuchs in the Changle Palace were replaced because of the jasper, if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Xiazi was the apprentice of Qian Weishi, the eunuch of the Yongshou Palace, I am afraid that he would have been beaten out with a stick.

At present, Lingxi is the only one who understands the queen mother's temperament, if it weren't for this, Father-in-law Qian would not have beaten Xiao Xiazi after knowing that Xiao Xiazi helped Biyu make Lingxi bad, and then asked him to ask Lingxi to plead guilty.

Lingxi's face changed again, and he returned to his previous flat expression, and said in a soft and slow voice, "Father-in-law Xia, why don't I want to go back to the Queen Mother to wait?" To put it bluntly, we are all slaves, and only slaves who are appreciated by their masters in front of their masters can live like people. But I am here to train Brother Wren according to the words of the Queen Mother, and now Brother Wren has not been trained yet, isn't it a protest when I go back? ”

The big hat of resistance was pressed down, and Xiao Xiazi immediately closed his mouth. It is precisely because of this reason that Father-in-law Qian did not dare to dispatch Lingxi to the palace on an errand, because Lingxi was trained by the Queen Mother. Unless Lingxi herself agrees, I'm afraid that only the emperor or the queen mother will come to pass it on in person, and she will carry the bird cage back.

Xiao Xiazi knelt and knelt and kowtowed, but he still couldn't invite the big Buddha of Lingxi. In the end, he could only wipe the corners of his eyes and go back to find Father-in-law Qian, resentful of Jasper in his heart, and he was burdened by himself.

As soon as Xiao Xiazi left, Chun'er came out of the East Warm Pavilion, and she hid under the window of the Warm Pavilion and listened to the words of Lingxi and Xiao Xiazi.

Under the attention of the craftsmen of Luomei Xuan, Chun'er pulled the spirit rhino back to the east ear room and closed the door with a 'bang'.

Chun'er was like a high-spirited old hen, with her left hand on her waist, and her fingers wrapped around the strip of cloth in her right hand poked Lingxi's head fiercely, gritting her teeth and saying, "You are dead-eyed!" Brother Wren, you have already trained you, and now that someone has come to ask you not to go back, are you really waiting for the Queen Mother to carry you with a bridge before you go back? At this time, I will take advantage of Grandpa Xia, and I will really give you a breath! ”

Lingxi turned the indifference on his face, and took Chun'er's hand to his own and rubbed it lightly. Chun'er cut her hand a few days ago when she was fattening the camellia, and the bleeding didn't stop, and it was hard to stop, "You don't care about your fingers, poke with so much force, aren't you afraid that the wound will crack again?" The blood that stopped yesterday was the trauma medicine that I begged for with the little palace maid in the front hall......"

Chun'er was originally angry, and was angry and funny by Lingxi's two words. Lingxi felt sorry for her fingers, and felt sorry for the bottle of trauma medicine she finally begged for, but she didn't know that she felt sorry for herself!

Seeing that Chun'er's fingers were not bleeding anymore, Lingxi walked to the window and saw that there was no one outside the window, and whispered to Chun'er, "Sister, don't worry, I understand what you said." But if I go back like this, I will be despised by them in the future, and I will definitely have to stretch it. ”

Chun'er knew that Lingxi had an idea in her heart, so she asked, "When are you going to stretch it?" That Father-in-law Xia is Father-in-law Qian's apprentice, he must have been instructed by Father-in-law Qian when he came to you today, if you don't go, don't you make it clear that you don't take Father-in-law Qian in your eyes? ”

Lingxi shook Chun'er's hand lightly and comforted, "Father-in-law Qian has a lot, and he will definitely not worry about a little person like me." Besides, I am the mouth of the Empress Dowager, even if Father-in-law Qian wants to embarrass me, it will be difficult to go anywhere. ”

said so, but Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Father-in-law Qian is the steward of the entire Yongshou Palace, if he is really offended, then the future will be even more difficult than when Jasper is there.

"Alas...... I'm a guy who doesn't turn my brain. Chun'er sighed and said, "I don't have as many ideas as you when I encounter something, if you have a plan in mind, then I won't say anything." It's just," Chun'er's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of begging when she looked at Lingxi, "You have to be careful everywhere...... In the future, don't catch crickets. ”

Lingxi's heart was hot, and he said, "What my sister said, I will go back to the front hall tomorrow, where I have time to catch crickets." ”

Outside the window, a dream bamboo with insects is swaying in the wind, exuding bursts of tempting aroma.

Dream bamboo is not bamboo, it is a large lily flower, similar to the tulips of Lingxi's previous life. Its flowers have a strong fragrance, and long-term exposure to the fragrance of dream bamboo will make people drowsy and dreamy.

There is also an allusion to the name Mengzhu, it is said that the founding emperor of the Dashun Dynasty passed by a poor countryside when he was young (in fact, he fled from the famine when he was young), smelled the fragrance of this flower at night and fell asleep, and dreamed that he was in a bamboo forest, and the immortals in the forest bowed down to him and shouted long live.

Later, the Dashun Dynasty was established, and the founding emperor gave this flower the name Mengzhu.

The original Dashun harem was almost full of dream bamboo, and the fragrance of dream bamboo caused the palace people to look sluggish, and they couldn't tell the reality or the dream all day long. The ancestor emperor decreed that no dream bamboo should be planted in the palace, which was regarded as a forbidden flower.

Although it is not allowed to be planted, because the flowers of Mengzhu are huge and colorful, the ladies in the palace will still plant a few fewer plants in their respective halls for enjoyment.

Empress Dowager Cui promoted two plants in the warm pavilion, and carried them to the Changle Hall every flowering season, and placed them outside the hall day and night, just to see a freshness.
