Hua Qingrao came out of the cold palace and went to Zhao Xuan's Chongzheng Palace. thought that at this point, Zhao Xuan should approve the fold in the Chongzheng Palace, but who knew that it was empty. The waiter on duty said that Shu Meiren had just come, and the two went to Taiye Pool to enjoy the scenery.

Hua Qingrao didn't dare to delay, and followed the brisk walk to the Taiye Pool.

In the pavilion in the center of the Taiye Pool, Shu Meiren is plucking the strings in her hands, and melodious music is wafting around. The breeze is coming slowly, and a pool of green water highlights a different charm.

Hua Qingrao glanced at their location from a distance, and walked forward quickly, "Concubines see everyone." ”

As she saluted, the music also stopped, and Shu Meiren got up with a smile and said softly: "The concubine sees the mother." ”

Zhao Xuan opened his eyes and looked at Hua Qingrao with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

Hua Qingrao smiled and looked for a panic: "The concubine was admiring the flowers nearby, and she came unconsciously looking for this music." ”

Shu Meiren blushed because of her words, "I have always heard my sister's song and made everyone fall in love, and the concubine is ugly today." ”

"What you said is really elevating the standard, but it's just some ordinary music, and everyone doesn't dislike it." Hua Qingrao covered her mouth and smiled.

Zhao Xuan said fairly: "The piano skills of the two of you are among the best in this palace, so there is no need to be so humble." ”

The two saluted in unison and said "yes".

"The concubine heard that the queen's mother committed an old illness, but what is the big deal?" After Hua Qingrao sat down, she asked casually.

Zhao Xuan took the tea handed over by Shu Meiren, took a sip and replied: "It's not a big deal, the imperial doctor has gone to see it, it's hard for you to have a heart." ”

Shu Meiren immediately answered: "As soon as the queen mother is sick, it can frighten us concubines!" The concubine was still thinking about whether to go and take a look, but she was afraid that it would disturb the purity of the queen's mother. ”

"It's good to have this thought, you don't need to look at the queen's place." Zhao Xuan scratched her nose dotingly and said softly.

"How are the four princes taking care of it now?" Hua Qingrao asked tentatively.

Zhao Xuan's face immediately changed, and Shu Meiren only lowered her head to drink tea and stopped talking. "The fourth prince has been handed over to Hui Xiuyuan to take care of." He said coldly.

Hui Xiuyuan?! Hua Qingrao was stunned, and then changed the topic with a smile.

"This is a pastry made by a chef in Yangzhou, my sister will try it." Shu Meiren got up and held a plate of pastries and handed it to Hua Qingrao.

Although Hua Qingrao knew that there was a new cook in the palace, she still felt a little strange about her sudden enthusiasm. She glanced at the pastry and didn't do it for a long time.

Zhao Xuan didn't notice anything unusual, and said: "This pastry is really made with a bit of Yangzhou's characteristics, you can try it." ”

Seeing him say this, Hua Qingrao had to smile and pick up a piece of pastry from the plate, put it in her mouth tentatively, and suddenly a fragrance spread in her mouth. "Although the concubine has never eaten Yangzhou pastries, the taste is really sweet."

"Yo, it's so lively here." A woman's melodious voice rang out.

Hua Qingrao looked sideways, Gao Yushu was dressed in a wide-sleeved fairy skirt, green silk hanging shoulders, hosta diagonally, jade belt around the arm, dark fragrance lingering, the face was like a peach and like a sunny snow, her eyes were like pearls and spring water, and she was supported by the palace people with her graceful style.

"The concubine said, how is my heart fluttering today, I just want to see everyone." She covered her mouth and chuckled coquettishly, and her voice was tactful.

"Concubines, see everyone." She leaned down slightly.

"Concubine see Concubine De Niangniang." Hua Qingrao and Shu Meiren stood up and saluted together.

After the banquet, Gao Yushu was canonized as Concubine Gao De, and this harmony was perfect. As soon as Concubine Zhang Xian fell, the position of Concubine De was the first of the four concubines, and she was worthy of her identity as the eldest princess of Beiyan.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Xuan asked.

Gao Yushu walked to his side, squeezed aside Shumei and sat down, she said with a face full of grievances: "The concubine misses everyone, so she went to the Chongzheng Palace to find it, who knows if she didn't find it." ”

"It turns out that everyone has run here to relax, and those who don't know think that the flowers in this garden have become essences and hooked everyone's souls!" She sneered.

Hua Qingrao sneered in her heart, I am afraid that if she can say such a thing, there is only Gao Yushu in this palace. When she raised her head again, she saw that Zhao Xuan's face had changed.

She glanced at Shu Meiren as if she didn't care, and saw that she didn't care about the situation here, but just looked at a palace person behind Gao Yushu.

Hua Qingrao followed her gaze and glanced at the man, then got up and said, "Everyone, there are still some things in the concubine palace, so I will retire first." ”

Zhao Xuan said "um", waved his hand at her, turned around and laughed with Gao Yushu again.

After walking out of the Taiye Pool, Hua Qingrao opened her mouth and asked, "The Tsing Yi Palace person next to Concubine Gao De was brought by her with her marriage?" ”

Xue Kite pondered for a while and said with a smile: "She, she is not a palace person, she is the concubine of Concubine Gao De." ”

Hua Qingrao raised her eyebrows, and asked again, "Then can you sleep?" ”

Snow Kite covered her mouth and laughed, "According to Concubine Gao De's temperament, how can this be possible." The mother didn't look at it, and when the concubine saw everyone, she couldn't pull out her eyes. ”

Hua Qingrao felt funny, lowered her head and shook it. These concubines who can follow are not low, even if they can't catch up with the concubines in the palace, they are very noble than the palace people.

married from afar, let them only be a palace person who serves, I am afraid that they will not be happy.

She suddenly remembered the gaze of Shu Meiren looking at the concubine, and her heart chuckled. Mo not... But such doubts were quickly dispelled by herself.

Hua Qingrao hurriedly went to the Linhua Palace, and after retreating from the palace, she asked urgently: "Why did you go to ask for the fourth prince?" It's not that you don't know what it means to raise the Four Princes. ”

Hui Xiuyuan was shocked, she didn't expect her to know about this so quickly. She asked rhetorically, "How did you find out?" ”

"Today, I met everyone and Shu Meiren in the Taiye Pool, and I mentioned it by chance." Hua Qingrao hid her promise to Concubine Zhang Xian, and only replied ambiguously.

Hui Xiuyuan smiled softly, and said slowly: "I know what it means to raise the four princes, and now I can't deal with everyone anymore, it just so happens that there are no children under my knees, and the four princes are more fun." ”

Hua Qingrao stabilized her mind, even if Zhao Xuan didn't wait to see the four princes again, there would always be four princes who were princes, and they wouldn't dare to treat them harshly in the inner library. With him, maybe Hui Xiuyuan can have a better time here. "What about Baoqin?"

This question was like a dagger poking at Hui Xiuyuan's heart, she asked for a moment, and then smiled indifferently: "After all, she helped us a lot, let's leave her a place to go." ”

"She has a place to go." Hua Qingrao stared at her face and said bluntly, "But where are you going?" ”
