In the Imperial Garden, the flowers of the Imperial Hall are surging in a different way, and in the middle of summer, the red and white lotus flowers of the northern country are particularly dazzling, and the red and white petals adorn the summer. In a black tile pavilion, the delicate and graceful carved beams and paintings are more to highlight the magnificence of the palace, a white jade low table, the precious wood incense of the wooden mold cards, the slender nails of Ah Zhihu coated with pollen nail polish gently put a card on the table, and looked at the "sister" who knelt on the ground in front of her and fought with her with a chuckle. Xingzhen, on the other hand, was engrossed in looking at the cards on the white jade low table.

This fight, no matter what, must lose!

Xingzhen knows very well that in this card fight, she does not bet to win, but only to lose. Because if you lose, then praise a few words, and then smile a few words, so that the other party is satisfied, and the fight will be so happy; However, if he wins, when the time comes, not only will it be dishonorable to win (because a concubine loses to a nobleman), but he will be the target of the congregation in this deep palace. Therefore, from the beginning to the present, Xingzhen has let her step by step, trying to turn victory into defeat, but the other party has obviously let herself win step by step.

With a soft "snap", Ah Zhixuanhu showed surprise, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Ah, I lost." ”

Xingzhen looked at it fixedly, and saw that Ah Zhi Xuanhu's cards were forcing herself into a corner, which was obvious, the enemy lost and won. Suddenly, Xingzhen's beads of cold sweat the size of a bean dripped down, although she won, but this is obviously not a good sign for winning, because the other side of winning is losing.

Ah Zhi Xuanhu chuckled and looked at Xingzhen. Xingzhen wiped the cold sweat with a gauze and said softly, "It's okay." Between you and me, you don't have to care about winning or losing. ”

Ah Zhi Xuan Hu looked at the hem of Xingzhen's clothes, the slender curves were outlined in the hem of Ajiro's clothes, and Ah Zhi Xuan Hu smiled strangely: "Since you don't need to care about winning or losing, then how do you feel about another game of cards?" ”

One more round! Xingzhen has already felt her legs gradually numb and cramping, and if she plays another game, she will definitely continue to kneel and fight cards. Ah Zhi Xuanhu gently stroked his nails covered with pollen nail polish, as if he said casually: "That's right." After all, there are strict rules in this palace, and my sister has to kneel and play cards with me. ”

When she said the word "kneel", her tone was extremely heavy. Xingzhen looked at Ah Zhi Xuanhu, and she found that now she could only look up at her. Now a pair of heavy makeup and glamorous Ah Zhi Huhu came into Xingzhen's eyes, the rouge on Ah Zhi Hu's cheeks was incomparably rich, the delicate steps hanging down on the flag head shook the cold light, how gorgeous the beautiful cheongsam with long feet of high-quality fabric was, Xingzhen suddenly had a very terrible thought in her heart: that is, from the moment Ah Zhi Huhu entered the palace, her sentence of "sister" never contained sincerity.

The corners of Xingzhen's pale pink mouth hooked up a self-deprecating wry smile, and she said, "It's okay." Let's go. ”

I don't know how many pillars of incense passed, and the sun, which was as big as a plate, turned into a sun the size of a car cover near noon, and changed from cool in the air to hot like a hot soup. Ah Zhixuanhu frowned, she could already feel that the rouge powder on her cheeks was gradually melting, stood up, unintentionally glanced at the cards on the white jade low table, and suddenly smiled and said, "I won this game." ”

Xingzhen was dizzy at this time, but she could feel the harshness of the voice, but the whole person knelt straight for a long time and the heat of the weather was no longer able to frown. Ah Zhi Xuanhu said: "The palace is tired, so I will go back to the palace first." But ......"

Ah Zhi Xuanhu bent down slightly, leaned forward, looked at Xingzhen up close, and said with a strange smile: "The victory of the first game of the noble Yi makes the palace very concerned, and it is not too much to let the noble person kneel here for a pillar of incense." ”

Xingzhen's spasmodic arm trembled numbly, forcibly raised her groggy head, looked at the face of Yi Concubine who was close at hand, her eyes met Ah Zhi Xuanhu, her dry throat coughed uncontrollably, cleared her throat and said, "Cough, Yi Concubine's grade is also higher than that of the concubine." ”

Facing the eyes, Ah Zhi Xuanhu only felt that Xingzhen's eyes were indescribably terrible. Xingzhen's eyes have a feeling that they are very good-looking, because they are as beautiful and shining as stars; But it is like a deep pool in ancient autumn, bottomless, giving people a strange and inexplicable fear. Clear but terrifying, but there is no hatred in it. But as if a pair of eyes, she can know what you think in your heart.

Ah Zhi Xuanhu didn't know what Xingzhen's words meant, all he thought about in his heart were those clear and terrifying eyes, and when he looked at each other, he felt a sense of emptiness and his whole body trembled. Turning his head, still with that clear and terrifying look, Ah Zhi Xuanhu felt that he was a little afraid of Xingzhen, although it was his eyes, he said angrily: "Slut! Dare to stare at this palace. Also, what's wrong with the fact that the level of this palace is higher than you, this palace has the right to punish you for kneeling! “

Ah Zhi Xuanhu said: "Jinyu! “

A palace maid named Jin Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "The slave is here." “

"You! Just watching her kneel here, before an hour, she was not allowed to get up! “

"Yes!"

Ah Zhi Xuanhu still felt palpitations when he thought of that look, and said, "Go back to the palace!" “

The palace maids looked at the first-class palace maid Jin Yu beside Yi Concubine, and said in their hearts: "Aunt Jin looks at people, it seems that Yi Guiren has provoked the little master." Well, it seems that people who see the apse of Shouchang Palace (the original name of Chuxiu Palace) in the future should set up a shelf, and if the little lord is happy, then there will be a good life. “

In the clear blue sky, the sun is getting more and more dazzling, although there is a gazebo to cover the sun, Xingzhen still feels hotter and hotter, her face is flushed, and the sweat is already numb and not very obvious sweat. The palace maid named Jinyu also felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and I didn't know if it was an hour, Jinyu was obviously a little impatient, and said, "Okay, it's time." Let's go back first! “

After saying that, he covered his face with long sleeves of light gauze and hurried to a place with shade. Xingzhen numbly looked at the figure of the brocade light yarn and long sleeves walking in a hurry, and looked up at the more dazzling white sun in the sky unconsciously, I don't know how to feel that the white sun is more dazzling, suddenly, I only felt dizzy, "bang", Xingzhen's whole person fell softly on the cold marble floor.

It's so cool. Xingzhen thought to herself with the last trace of consciousness before she fainted.

In the Zhongcui Palace, Ji Wuen, who was dressed in a phoenix robe, sat on the queen's throne, looking at Ah Mei kneeling in front of the steps, only to see Ah Mei kneeling on the ground, holding a decorative end plate in her hand, and an agate teacup was placed in the end plate. “

Ah Mei hurriedly said: "Yes! The fragrant tea made by the slave and maid wholeheartedly, I hope that the mother can like it. “

Giun smiled, "Bring it up." “

"Yes." However, just as Giun was about to take the tea, the teacup shook somehow, and there was a "bang" sound, and the cup broke the tea.

Looking at Ji Wuen's face full of consternation, Ah Mei knew that it must not have been her mother's mother, besides, how could she say that her mother had made it? Hurriedly knelt on the ground smartly, kowtowed and confessed, and said: "The slave knows her mistake, and she asks the mother to punish her." “

Giun looked at Ah Mei who kowtowed on the ground with satisfaction and confessed his guilt, and pretended to be virtuous and said, "It's okay." Get up and show it to Hongu. “

After hearing this, Ah Mei hurriedly got up. Ji Wuen pulled Ah Mei's hand and looked at it carefully, only to see that the little hands were slender, and there were no traces of work such as scars on the hands, which looked like the hands of a palace maid! Giun frowned without a trace. Then look at the face and figure carefully. I saw a water snake waist, shaved shoulders, apricot eyes, and thin eyebrows. Ji Wuen said in his heart: "This palace maid must not be discovered by the emperor!" Therefore, on the surface, he smirked: "Your name is Ah Mei, is it?" “

"Yes!"

Giun called, "Dai Huan." “

I saw a palace maid in Tsing Yi walk up and said, "What do you want from Niangniang?" “

Ji Wuen gave Dai Huan a look and said, "This is Pipa, you can take her down to arrange a place to live." “

Dai Huan looked at Ah Mei, immediately understood, and said, "Yes." “

Ah Mei hurriedly said: "Thank you, Niangniang." “

Ji Wu smiled, after Ah Mei was taken down, Ji Wu looked at the luxuriously decorated Zhong Cui Palace, but there was no vitality, and said in his heart: "The palace girl is too good-looking, and it is inevitable that she will charm the lord." For some reason, this palace can vaguely feel in his heart that this deep palace will set off another storm. “

A little bit of sparse stars drunk on the violet sky in the evening, showing a kind of tranquil magnificence, at this moment, the wind is clear, people are quiet, under the ink branches, the wind sweeps the starting point of the red petals. In Yonghe Palace, in the painting screen curtain, on the side of the pillow, there is a carved copper basin, with a gentle "lala" sound, and the person who twisted the towel frowned, for fear of waking up the person on the pillow. Fortunately, the person on the pillow just frowned and snorted, and fell into a deep sleep again. Yi gently wiped the cheeks and forehead of the person on the pillow with a wrung out towel, and gently applied the forehead of the person on the pillow with a wet towel soaked in ice water for a long time.

"Babble------ la-------" Although the maid lowered her voice as much as possible when she opened the door, it still alarmed the person on the pillow, glared at the maid who opened the door, turned her head, and went to take care of the person on the pillow. The maid gently put the black jade bowl on the end plate on the bedside table, and immediately stood aside with the end plate and waited for the order. The person on the pillow unfolded his long eyelashes, subconsciously rubbed his temples with his fingers, supported the sheets, and put the embroidered pillow on Xingzhen's back neatly, Xingzhen felt the softness behind her and the kindness of the person next to her, looked to the side, and said with a slight smile: "Yi." ”

Seeing that Xingzhen's lips became rosy, Yi knew that Xingzhen had recovered, and was overjoyed, so she held Xingzhen's hand and said, "Sister." ”

Yi suddenly remembered something, let go of his hand, and opened the lid of the black jade bowl for Xingzhen, suddenly, a fragrance came to his nose, and he saw that the black jade bowl was filled with dark sweet soup, and the dark sweet soup was sprinkled with a little goose-yellow osmanthus, and Yi said: "My sister suffered from heat stroke in the gazebo in the imperial garden, but fortunately, Xiao Huan found my sister and brought it to my Yonghe Palace." My sister has a heat stroke, so drink some sour plum soup to help the body. ”

Xingzhen turned out to be a black jade bowl with sour plum soup, and felt a warm heart, looking back, this was the second time she helped her, and every time she helped her when she needed it most. The taste of the sour plum soup is very sweet, there is the simple fragrance of osmanthus in it, and the temperature of the sour plum soup is just right and warm. Xingzhen felt that this was the best sour plum soup she had ever drunk in her life. Xingzhen tried not to let the hot tears in her eyes come out, and poured the whole sour plum soup down in one go.

"Thank you."

In the Forbidden City tonight, the cold and bright moon is exceptionally round.
