The queen briefly asked them about their situation in the palace, and then asked them to sit back. Aunt Pei Jin brought someone to change a cup of tea for the concubines.

"This is a new tea sent by the Inner Library this year, and all sisters can try it." The queen said with a smile.

Hua Qingrao picked up the teacup that the palace maid had just put down on the table, the brown color was pale blue, and the sharp tea buds kept rotating with the water waves in the cup, like a dancing beauty, and a few wisps of light smoke curled and warmed.

She took a sip, and the tea flowed into her mouth, and a pleasant fragrance spread between her lips and teeth. Swallow it slowly, and the warmth flows into the stomach, giving people an indescribable sense of relief and comfort. Then savor the taste in your mouth, as if there is still a little sweetness left on the tip of the tongue.

Yi Guiyi put down the teacup and said happily: "Sure enough, this good thing can only be tasted here by the queen's mother, and the concubines will have to bother the mother a lot in the future." ”

The queen smiled gently, "I know that you like this kind of thing, and Aunt Pei Jin has already prepared it." She turned her head and glanced at the concubine sitting below, "Everyone has it, and they all took it separately for a while." ”

When all the concubines heard this, they were overjoyed, and they all smiled and said, "Thank you for the reward from Queen Mother." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian leaned lazily on the chair, played with the armor in her hand, raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Yi Guiyi with disdain. "It turns out that Yi Guiyi likes this, why didn't she say it earlier. There is also the rest of the reward given to Baoqin and them a few days ago, so you can take it with you. ”

The smile on Yi Guiyi's face froze, and she looked up at the queen's expression, and saw that she was drinking tea by herself and did not speak. I had to get up and salute Concubine Zhang Xian, and said respectfully: "Concubine Xie Xian's mother rewards." ”

Concubine Zhang Xian's face hooked the corners of her mouth, and she glanced at her with slanted eyes, "Get up." ”

Yi Guiyi stood up, her face was a little ugly, and she didn't say anything after sitting down.

The concubines chatted a few words with each other, and the queen asked them all to go back.

As soon as Hua Qingrao walked out of Jingyang Palace, she heard a sweet voice behind her calling: "Sister Ying, Sister Ying!" ”

She stopped, turned her head to follow the voice: the Celestial Servant was trotting towards her.

Tian Shiyu grabbed her arm, and said with a bright smile on her face: "Sister Ying, where are you going?" ”

Hua Qingrao was stunned by her enthusiastic behavior. She pulled out her arm without a trace, leaned over and said: "Niangniang is a talented person who has just been named by everyone, and the concubine is just a lady, how can she be worthy of Niangniang's sister." ”

Tiancairen frowned, his white and tender little face pulled the elder, and pouted and complained: "What's so good about this person, the people in the palace are respectful when they see me, and there is no one to speak." ”

Hua Qingrao's eyes swept around, and seeing that no one noticed them, she reminded in a low voice: "Niangniang, this is the palace, saying such things has been listened to by someone with a heart, but it will be lost." ”

Tian Cairen hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Hua Qingrao with a frightened expression.

Hua Qingrao couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, whether this talented person was pretending to be stupid in front of her or really stupid. She said respectfully: "It's not too early for the mother, and the concubine will go back to the palace first." ”

Tian Cairen immediately wrapped his arms around Hua Qingrao's arm again, "Then it's just that I'll go back with my sister!" ”

Before Hua Qingrao could refuse, Li Cairen walked up to them, covered her mouth and sneered, and deliberately said loudly: "Your sister can't go with you, but they live in Queen Zhang's Changle Palace!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Hua Qingrao with contempt, turned around and took the palace maid away.

Tiancairen looked at her bewitching back in a daze, and muttered in his mouth: "Empress Zhang, the Empress Zhang of the first emperor." She gasped, turned her head and looked at Hua Qingrao with envy in her eyes, "Sister Ying, everyone treats you so well!" I actually gave Queen Zhang's Changle Hall to you to live in! ”

A trace of coldness crossed Hua Qingrao's eyes, and a soft smile was replaced on her face. She tapped her finger on Tian Cairen's forehead and said with a smile: "Aren't everyone good to Niangniang?" On the first night of entering the palace, everyone turned over the Niangniang's sign first. ”

Tian Cai's face turned red all of a sudden, she remembered how tender everyone was to her last night, and hung her head and murmured shyly: "Everyone is indeed very good to me." ”

Hua Qingrao looked at her thoughtfully for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that the lotus flowers over there in the Taiye Pond are blooming very well, can Niangniang be interested in going to watch it with her concubine?" ”

Tiancairen's eyes lit up, his hand tugged on Hua Qingrao's sleeve, and said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! It just so happened that I was also annoyed when I returned to the palace, and I could accompany my sister on a tour to relieve my boredom. ”

Hua Qingrao asked casually while walking towards the Taiye Pool, "I don't know which palace Niangniang lives in?" Which lady do you live with? ”

Tiancai pulled Hua Qingrao's sleeve to hold her, and said seriously: "Sister, don't call me Niangniang anymore, how good it is for you and my sisters to be commensurate!" ”

Hua Qingrao explained softly: "This is the palace, according to the identity of the mother and the concubine, you can't scream so casually." ”

Tian Cairen had a bitter face, "Why do you all say that?" Is it good that I don't match my sister Shu? ”

Hua Qingrao raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Who else said that?" ”

Tiancairen walked forward and replied: "Sister Hui who lives in Linhua Hall with me, that is, Hui Jieyu." The last time she heard me call Sister Shu like that, she told me the same thing. ”

She lowered her head and sighed, and said depressedly: "Alas! Sister Shu is also pitiful, she just entered the palace, but somehow she got a cold, and her body is really not very good. If she is well, with her appearance, the first one to sleep must be her, how can there be anything to do with me! ”

She suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked Hua Qingrao: "By the way, sister, you are also very beautiful, why didn't everyone recruit you to sleep last night?" ”

Hua Qingrao glanced at her with a little pity, fortunately, it was Hui Jieyu who lived in the same palace with her, if it was someone else, this little girl would be so open-mouthed, she didn't know how to die.

"Since everyone chose Niangniang last night, it will be the first Niangniang to sleep, why should Niangniang worry so much."

Although Tian Cairen nodded thoughtfully, his mind was mixed into a piece of paste.

As soon as the two of them walked to the Taiye Pool, before they saw the lotus flowers, a fragrance came to their faces.

Tian Cairen shrugged his shoulders, took a big breath of air, and with excitement on his whole face, he ran towards the edge of the Taiye Pool.

Hua Qingrao looked at her back with a smile, she was probably the only one who could smile so happily in this treacherous harem.
