Zhao Zhen was eating, the purple-clothed waiter came out of the hall with a food box, and the palace people on duty under the corridor came forward, first bent their knees and asked for peace, Fang said: "The lady concubine is unlucky, the official family is eating." ”

Moran said: "Say hello." ”

The sun is vicious, and although it is standing under the porch, it is still a heat wave. The waiter didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly entered the hall, turned back to the corridor, personally lifted the embroidered moire curtain, and said, "Please enter the palace." ”

The hall was cool and slightly cold, the bamboo curtain hung low, Zhao Zhen put aside the dishes and chopsticks, saw Mo Lan enter the hall, frowned and said: "It's noon, walking around under the sun, carefully and in the heat again." ”

Mo Lan saw that the chamberlain was withdrawing from the imperial meal, and the jade plates and delicacies on the table were almost untouched. She smiled and said, "Can Liulang reward me with food, I just came from Ciyuan Palace, and I haven't had time to eat yet." ”

Zhao Zhen's face was a little gloomy, and he said: "It seems that I have to discipline the palace people of Luan Ming Hall well, I don't know the rules, and I can't even serve meals well." ”

When Qingqiu heard this, he was half frightened, and quickly knelt down, not daring to speak, only resting his forehead on the ground, and not daring to come out. Seeing that the official family was a little moved, Mo Lan helped Qingqiu up, and was about to go out, pouting: "Since the official family is reluctant to give me food, it is better to go back." ”

The chamberlain of the Shangshi Bureau was withdrawing from the table, and when they heard Mo Lan say this, they were all shocked, and their hands and feet became lighter. Zhao Zhen grabbed her and said with a shy face: "The sun is so big outside, if you go again, I'm afraid I'll get sick again." You have eaten, take a nap in the Funing Temple, and then go back when the sun goes down. After a pause, he said, "Whatever you want to eat, I told them to do it." ”

There were more than ten dishes on the square table of Nanmu carved Tianyun legs, and Mo Lan sat down at the table and said, "It's enough for me to eat these, and I don't need to do it again." ”

Zhao Zhen raised his face, and the waiter presented a bowl of chopsticks, and another half bowl of ham and bamboo shoot soup, Mo Lan was very hungry, and ate two bowls of fragrant rice before putting down the chopsticks.

Zhao Zhen sat beside her and watched her finish eating, Fang smiled and said, "Do you want to eat some more snacks?" ”

Moran said: "Very good. ”

The palace people presented four plates of dim sum, including lily cake, sugar steamed cheese, apricot gel honey and rose cake. Moran ate most of it like a cloud, and rested. When the chamberlain withdrew the table and retreated, only two people were left in the hall crooked on the cold floor. Zhao Zhen looked at Mo Lan with a smile and did not speak.

Moran blushed at his gaze, reached out and pushed his face to the other side, and said, "Don't stare at me, as if you haven't seen me for a long time." ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing twice, pinched Mo Lan's hand, rubbed it in his palm, and said, "The face is round, and the hand is still very slender." ”

Mo Lan took out his hands to hold his face, quickly got up and looked at the bronze mirror used to ward off evil spirits, lowered his head, there was fat on his chin, and frowned: "I have to save the bird's nest porridge at night, if it goes on like this, it's terrible, and the clothes have to be made new." ”

There are a few bunches of lilies next to the bronze mirror, and the snow-white flower bones hang down slightly, burrowing out of the tender green leaves, quietly opening. He chose one casually, put his temples on the side of her ear, and said, "The face is like a full moon, and the skin is like honey." It's richer, but it's okay. ”

Moran said: "If you look at it for a long time, you will naturally dislike it." ”

Zhao Zhen held her in his arms, the fragrance of the lily gradually diffused, around the tip of his nose, he said: "Don't dislike, never dislike." After a pause, he said: "If I become big-shouldered and round-waisted, you won't dislike it, it's the same reason." ”

Moran smiled, "That's not necessarily. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then pinched her cheek, raised her eyebrows and said, "Dislike has to pay a price." ”

Mo Lanyang said with a face: "I'm not afraid. So saying, he twisted his embrace, went to the dormitory, closed the door again, and said, "I want to take a nap, and don't disturb me." On the door bolt, Zhao Zhen stood outside and said shamelessly: "I also want to rest, how about we sleep together?" ”

Moran had already gone to bed, and a voice came from the curtain, "You can sleep coldly." ”

Zhao Zhen called two more times and said a lot of words, but there was no sound in it.

The palace people waiting under the corridor heard the movement inside, and they didn't know what was going on, so they entered the hall to serve Zhao Zhen for a nap, but they saw the official family and clothes lying on the couch in front of the window, and the door to the dormitory was closed, as if no one was there.

Zhao Zhen was not asleep yet, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go down." ”

The palace people understood it in their hearts, and they felt very funny, but they didn't dare to show it, and shook off the brocade quilt on the couch and covered Zhao Zhen's body, and Fang quietly retreated.

The royal bed is extremely comfortable, and the beaded tent hung on the couch is made by herself, soaked in orchids, like a room full of orchids. Xu ate too much for lunch, she didn't sleep well, and dreamed groggily that he was in Gongyi Palace that year, he was wearing a scarlet brocade robe, and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk." ”

She didn't dare, but she heard him say with a smile: "With me, what are you afraid of." They all changed into fiery red brocade clothes, wore masks, and danced on the stage.

The drums rose and fell, and the cheers around him were like a tide, but he was gone.

She was very flustered and hurriedly took off her mask, but there was a red dress all around her, and she couldn't see his face clearly, so she couldn't recognize him at all. She was so anxious that she shouted, "Rokuro, Rokuro, where are you?" Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, she suddenly turned around, and said with a tearful smile: "Liulang, where have you been, but I have been so hard to find." ”

The man took off his mask, and his eyes were blurred, and it was not Rokuro at all.

She shook off his hand and said, "You're not Rokuro, what are you holding me for?" ”

I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but I saw him show his neat white teeth and said with a smile: "Where is there any Liulang, you are my lady, come with me." After saying that, he came over and pulled, Moran was in a trance and muttered: "No Liulang, you are my husband?" The man nodded, grabbed her and left. When I arrived at a place, the houses and clothes there were different from those in Bianjing, which was very strange.

The man pushed the door open and said, "This is our home." ”

She went in with a big belly, her stomach hurt, and her mother-in-law was under the porch, shouting: "Madame is going to give birth, Madame is going to give birth." The pain was so intense that she couldn't breathe. She had no strength, but the child was still only coming out, and her body couldn't get out. She cried, "I'm not giving birth, I'm not giving birth." ”

The blood was pouring all over the bed, as if it was going to run out.

The mother-in-law who delivered the baby asked the man, "Is it to protect the child or the adult?" ”

The man's face suddenly became clear, it was Zhao Zhen, who was wearing a crimson dragon robe, stared at her, and said lightly: "Naturally, it is to protect the child, and the heir is important." ”

The mother-in-law stepped forward with her life, poured a few bowls of bitter medicine into her mouth with a hideous face, and said: "Hurry up, ...... quickly" She lost consciousness and felt that she really felt like she was dead.

With a pain in her heart, she exhaled suddenly, and the pain gradually faded, and she woke up, sweating profusely, which was a nightmare in the daytime. She struggled to sit up, and called out in a trance, "Qingqiu." Naturally, no one answered, she kicked the quilt and sat on the collapse for a long time before she remembered that she was in the Funing Palace. She walked out with her shoes on, opened the deadbolt, lifted the curtain and called, "Rokuro, I'm ......"

The words were not finished, but they were dumbfounded.

There were more than a dozen courtiers sitting on both sides of the hall, silent, all turning their heads to look at her. She wore a messy bun, sleepy eyes, and wore a long-sleeved skirt with pink and gold pipa, the long gown was clumped over her shoulders, and her breasts were half exposed. She was completely frightened awake at this time, and hurriedly retreated into the inner hall, slamming the door with a "bang", and her heart was pounding.

The courtiers also blushed and hung their heads silently.

Zhao Zhen was embarrassed, and said after a long time: "If everyone has no objections, let's draw up the decree according to Lu Xiang's intentions." The old men pretended to be extremely calm, as if nothing had happened just now, and bowed, "Yes." ”

After everyone retreated, Mo Lan came out dressed neatly, and when he saw Zhao Zhen commenting on the chapter in front of the case, he flattered: "Liulang, how about going to Luanming Hall for dinner today, I will personally make crispy duck meat for you." ”

Although Zhao Zhen put down his pen, he remained silent.

Moran said cautiously: "Those old men won't be admonished because of this. ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyes to look at her, but he didn't speak. Moran went to take his hand and said, "It was my bad just now." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "It's time to think about it." ”

Moran hurriedly promised: "I promise you, in the future, you must be dressed before leaving the dormitory." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a tense face: "What else?" ”

Moran was puzzled and asked, "What else?" ”

Zhao Zhen saw that she still had a wilted lily on her sideburns, so he took it off and didn't throw it away, just played with it in his hand. He said: "You haven't seen it, when the palace people entered the hall, they saw me sleeping on the cold floor, but they didn't laugh out loud. ”

Mo Lan laughed and said: "You were talking about this, I thought it was ......" He closed his mouth and said, "I'm not right today anyway...... and said: "The official forgave the slave family." ”

Her pretty face was slightly lowered, her cheeks were as red as smoke, her hair was slightly messy, and a few strands of sideburns hung low on her shoulders, as delicate as autumn flowers. He pinched her chin, kissed her on the lips, and muttered, "You narrow ......" She threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and leaned half of her body on him.

The glow of the setting sun gradually shone into the hall through the cracks, and the lilies on the table suddenly bloomed and quietly spit out the stamens. Time seems to have stopped, and there is a warm wind blowing the bamboo curtain, blowing on people's faces, it is really a warm shimmer, and the summer sleep does not wake up. He let go of her for a long time and said, "You go back to Luanming Hall first to prepare dinner, and I'll go over when I'm done." ”

Moran nodded and said, "Then you come earlier." As he spoke, he went out, and when he arrived at the door, Fang turned around again, Zhao Zhen thought she was reluctant to herself, so she said, "I will go early." ”

Mo Lan took out the nine-clawed yellow dragon gold-patterned purse from his sleeve, tied it to Zhao Zhen's waist in person, and said, "I originally came to give you a purse, but I almost forgot it." Seeing that she was really leaving, he suddenly said, "I have stayed in the temple for a day, and I haven't moved, so I might as well send you." Then he led her out.

The sun is setting on the top of the mountain, losing its brilliance, and it is about to fall.

It was still very hot, and the attendants poured water from the well on the palace street, and a gray mist rose and steamed. Not far from the Funing Palace, he suddenly saw Yuan Hao being surrounded by people, and Zhao Zhen instinctively blocked Mo Lan behind him, as if he was afraid of being looked down upon.

Obviously, the chamberlain replied that the official family was approving the chapter in the Funing Palace, but now they met on the palace street, and they were all surprised. Everyone saluted, knowing that there were concubines behind the official family, and they didn't dare to be rude, so they all hung their heads and stood quietly.

Wei Yuanhao turned his face and looked away, refusing to bow his head.

Mo Lan knew that Zhao Zhen was busy with political affairs, so he said: "The official family stopped, and the concubines retired first." When he passed in front of Yuan Hao, he couldn't help but slow down his pace when he saw that he was wearing a different costume.

Yuan Hao also suddenly turned his head at this time, and watched Mo Lan pass by, a strange feeling rose in his heart, Zhong was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't say why.

Zhao Zhen saw that Yuan Hao didn't recognize Mo Lan, the corners of his mouth turned into a smile, and he slowly went to the Funing Palace.

Since they were relatives, the old men in the court did not dare to slack off, and set up many banquets outside the palace, and invited the selected princesses to participate, so that Yuan Hao could choose by himself. Yuan Hao originally came for the woman in the painting, but he searched for many days without results, and he was already disheartened. He didn't have much friendship with the princesses either, just playing on the spot.

The high temperature that lasted for more than ten days made Zifei want to soak in the well water and not get up.

The Renming Palace was busy enough, Zhao Zhen ordered to pick out the agricultural books, medical books, history books, geological books, etc. to give the princess to marry the Western Xia, and the Shang Palace issued this order, and ordered the palace people to sort out two thousand copies within three days. For the first time in his life, Zifei was so busy that he forgot to eat lunch, and when he remembered it, he was already hungry.

She picked up half of the leftover steamed buns in the kitchen, sat on the threshold in the corner and nibbled wildly, eating too fast, it was stuck in her throat, she couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, she was almost dying. Someone suddenly handed over a pot of water in front of her, she looked up and saw that it was Liu Congguang, so she took it and poured it into her mouth.

The hot feeling burned from her heart to her throat, choking her tears.

Zifei said angrily: "Liu Congguang, what did you give me to drink?" ”

Liu Congguang took the wine jug, took a sip, sat next to her, and smiled: "Lefenglou's eighteen-year-old daughter Hong, it is cheap for you, such a small pot, it cost me ten taels of silver." ”

Zi Fei only felt that his head was dizzy, and he couldn't exert his strength, so he said angrily: "You get out of the way." As he spoke, he moved to the side and leaned against the wall.

Congguang said: "The walls are hot and hard, I'll lend you my shoulder, lean in." ”

Zifei glanced at him and said, "Don't." ”

Congguang said patiently: "Come here." ”

Zifei wanted to take a nap secretly, but he was impatient with his noise, straightened up and said angrily: "I said no." ”

The sun was in the sky, and the two of them sat in a remote place under the porch, the sunlight of the white flowers reflected even the bright light of the stones, and the warm wind sent the fragrance of summer flowers into the nose, which made people more and more dizzy.

She had just drunk two sips of wine, and even the roots of her neck were red, the green silk was swirling and combing on the top of her head, only with a wooden hairpin, her red lips were slightly half-opened, and her expression was a little trance.

He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, not like the last time in the garden, just a dragonfly. He actually stuck the tip of his tongue out and licked her lips. Zifei's face turned red, and most of his brain was sober. couldn't help but be angry, pushed him away with all his might, and felt very disgusting in his chest, even the steamed buns he had just eaten couldn't wait to vomit.

Cong Guangyu was still laughing: "What do you think?" ”

Zifei was so angry that she didn't know what to do, stood up, leaned over and scolded: "You dare to ask, you are a disciple who has been blinded by Huang Tang......" She has never scolded anyone seriously, and the vicious words are stuffed in her throat and can't be spoken, and she kicked him in the back in a panic, and listened to him scream in pain, only to feel a little relieved.

Lu'er knew that Zifei didn't have lunch, so she hid two buns and kept them, and when she looked for it, she saw Liu Congguang lying on the ground in pain, and hurriedly went over to help, and said with concern: "Lord Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Congguang looked back at Lu'er, his face was angular, and he was close to his eyes, and his breath rushed to him with the smell of wine, and she was so ashamed that she hurriedly turned her face away.

He told the truth and said sadly: "Zifei just kicked me in the back." ”

Lu'er Chaozi said, "Why are you kicking Lord Liu?" ”

Zifei was stunned, and he couldn't say anything about the kiss anyway, so he had to say: "He deserves it." ”

Congguang deliberately screamed loudly in pain, Lu'er was very guilty, and hurriedly said: "Zifei she doesn't have a heart, don't be weird adults." He said to Zifei again: "Hurry up and come over and apologize to Lord Liu." ”

Zifei said stubbornly: "I don't want it." ”

Lu'er also knew Zifei very well, so she said: "I originally left you two meat buns, if you don't apologize, I will take them to the violent room to reward the sinners to eat." ”

Seeing this, he said a few more times.

Zifei couldn't bear it in the end, and said, "It really hurts so much? ”

Congguang nodded like pounding garlic, Zifei helped him up, stroked him on his back, and said, "Is this here?" ”

Congguang said: "When I practiced martial arts in the past, half a bone was broken there, I don't know if it was broken again." ”

Originally, Zi Fei believed it a little, but when he talked about broken bones, he knew that he was teasing himself, where someone had broken bones, and he could still answer the question when he cried in pain.

She said, "In that case, the imperial doctor must not let you drink anymore." As he spoke, he snatched the flask from his bosom and threw it down the stairs.

Congguang felt sorry for the ten taels of silver, so he hurriedly came over to grab it, and said, "Why can't you get along with wine." ”

Lu'er exclaimed: "Lord Liu, your waist is good." ”

Congguang smiled embarrassedly: "I'll tease you." ”

Zifei sneered, raised the wine jug, and said, "I'll tease you too." As soon as he spoke, as soon as he let go of his hand, the wine jug hung straight to the ground, and he fell to pieces, and suddenly the wine was fragrant and fragrant, which made people smell intoxicated.

Liu Congguang was really a little angry, and said: "Lu Zifei, don't be too aggressive, but if you kiss you, you will kick me and drop my wine." ”

When Zifei heard him say the word "pro", he was ashamed and angry, and said, "Tian is not ashamed." Congguang had never been scolded like this, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he stammered: "You...... You ......"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lu'er was even more surprised that she could eat half an egg, and somehow in her heart, she was a little empty, as if she had lost something. They were still arguing, but she didn't listen to a word.

A few days later, Yuan Hao heard out of nowhere that the most noble princess of the Great Song Dynasty did not participate in the selection, and he was very angry, thinking that Zhao Zhen looked down on him, so he only found some princesses who were not important to be perfunctory, so he went to the concert, saying that he wanted to marry Minhua as his wife and be named the princess.

When Minhua heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
