11. The palace maid is also a harem concubine

The man's voice was cold, "You're on the wrong track." He stretched out his hand and brushed the low pear branches, pinched the snow-white pear blossoms between his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "You have picked all the flowers, and in autumn, you will not be able to eat sweet and juicy pears." ”

Moran listened to his gentle tone, and then said boldly: "This pear tree is still growing branches, not fruiting. Seeing that the man was not angry, Mo Lan continued: "As far as the slave maid knows, the pear tree in the Ninghe Hall was newly planted last year, and the tree is too small to bear fruit, even if it hangs fruit, the fruit is big, and it is easy to crush the branches." Therefore, it is good to remove the flowers, but in order to bear more fruit, you must first grow the branches well. ”

The man smiled slightly, "The lady is right. As he spoke, he stepped away.

After a while, a palace maid hurriedly came over and asked anxiously, "Have you seen the king of Qinghe?" ”

"Are you wearing a royal blue shirt..."

"Which way did he go?"

Mo Lan heard a sound in his heart, remembering that many years ago, the first emperor was critically ill and the situation was turbulent, and his uncle wanted to win over the eighth prince and send her to the palace as a concubine, but she didn't want to live or die. The grandmother saw that she was crying pitifully, and happened to hear that the eighth prince had a son-in-law who was named the prince, and she was not married, so she wanted to marry her as a side concubine first. Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother became regent, and the uncle became proud again, and the marriage was put on hold. Later, the queen mother chose the daughter of the family to enter the palace, and the uncle tried every means to send her to the Funing Palace on an errand.

"Which way did he go?" The palace maid asked again.

Moran came back to his senses and gestured to the side, "Over there." ”

The palace maid saw that she was not willing to give up, so she muttered a word and went.

But it was said that the man in the royal blue shirt walked quickly to the west of the palace, passed the Renming Palace, and came to the Xihua Gate. A man in gray stood under the eaves of the porch and waited, he walked over and said respectfully: "Official, you have brought what you wanted." ”

Zhao Zhen took a stack of officials in the man's hand, "Let you go to the Ninghe Hall to get this thing, have you bumped into an irrelevant person?" ”

"When I passed by the back garden, there was a palace maid picking pear blossoms."

Zhao Zhen groaned, "Is it the Queen Mother?" ”

“… Probably not. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to believe it, and looked at the man with a suspicious face.

The man thought about it again, and only after a long time did he hold back a sentence: "She sings a tune while picking pear flowers, and the tune is very good." When Zhao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing, patted the man's shoulder, and laughed: "What song did she sing?" ”

"What pear blossoms bring rain in spring... Wechen doesn't understand much. ”

"It's Bai Juyi's poem." Zhao Zhen said.

The man's face was expressionless: "Hmm." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen looked at the man in surprise and said with a smile: "Is that lady good-looking?" ”

The man's mind came to the image of Mo Lan picking flowers, and he unconsciously agreed, "It looks good". Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "And, it is rare not to be suspected by you of eyeliner." I heard you praise it again, does the lady like people when she is born beautiful? ”

Su and innocently said: "When will I... Praise... Finish? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You said she was good-looking." ”

"I...", Su Hehe hurriedly clenched his fists, "The palace maid is also a harem concubine, and the minister does not dare to covet it." ”

Zhao Zhen walked straight to Xihua Gate, and the guards on both sides knelt on the ground and shouted long live. When he left the palace gate, he laughed loudly: "How can a woman who has never even met be considered a concubine." You are the guard and pro-army that I finally transferred back to the capital from the border pass, and you are more important than those women. If you really like it, I will give her to you and fulfill you. ”
