A bright spring day is always a joy and a pleasant one.

The flowers in the palace are blooming beautifully, just like these concubines with flowers and branches.

"I really don't know what happened to Concubine Pian." Qingli sent those concubines back, with a sneer on his face: "Everyone gets up before dawn and dresses up." But the people who serve around them are either to get up early and pick some morning dew and dew, or to make different rouge by themselves, and even make silk flowers by themselves, just to be different from others. Maybe the master happened to be able to take a second look when he happened to pass by them. ”

Bingling didn't think it was funny, but felt pathetic: "Alas, it would be good if I could take a closer look." I'm afraid that I'm going to put so much effort into it, but I still can't get my wish. ”

"That's what you say, that's true." Qingli smiled slightly: "Count the days, the emperor hasn't been to someone else's palace for a month." At most, it's just for lunch. Spring, vibrant, who wants to spend their days in a deserted palace. It's hard to be the little master in the harem. ”

"Yes, it's not always a way to go on like this." Bingling glanced worriedly at the inner room, and the queen was reading quietly. It seems that he is unwilling to do it before the concubine. But how could she be sure that Concubine Pity didn't plot to do it?

Ming Qing couldn't come quickly, and smiled at the two: "Is Niangniang free?" Liao Concubine and Xinmei are here. ”

"Niangniang is empty, but don't you just invite An? Why is this coming back? Qingli looked at Bingling puzzled: "Could it be that something happened?" ”

"I'll tell my mother." Bingling didn't speculate much, if something happened, it was probably just like this.

Cen Mooning put down the book in her hand and took some peeled raw peanuts to eat. "Just let them in and talk."

Qingli turned around and brought the two in, and then retreated to serve tea.

Liao Rongyu saw the queen eating peanuts in red, and couldn't help but smile: "Why does Niangniang like to eat peanut clothes together?" Don't you ask someone to strip off this layer of red clothes? ”

"It's raw peanuts, and Hongu likes the taste." Cen Muning hooked her lips slightly: "It's you two, didn't you just ask for peace, why did you turn back again?" If so, why don't you just stay? ”

"On the way back, I met Liang Bao beside the emperor. Said it was a kiln today. Xin Wei said this a little unhappily.

Liao Rongyu smiled awkwardly: "Niangniang, that's actually what happened. About half a month ago, the emperor asked people to build a pottery kiln near Xinwei's sister's willow shade. said that it was for the use of the concubine. It's not a big deal. But these days, the wind direction has not been very good, and the smoke from the pottery kiln drifts to the side of Liuyinju from time to time, which is fine. The pottery kiln has to burn every night, there are always slaves in and out to watch, sometimes the night is not restless, Xinwei sister is really difficult to sleep. ”

"I thought it would be over after putting up with it." Xin Wei said helplessly: "The concubine is delicate and expensive, and she won't always do these rough jobs." But today, I heard Liang Bao say that the concubine was very interested, saying that this pottery kiln would be burned until summer...... Niangniang, it's not that the concubine has to get along with her, the smell of smoke, and those noises, really make the concubine sleep restlessly, if you endure it for another month or two, the concubine is really afraid that she will die of hardship. ”

"The willow shade is remote, but it has never been past the Yang Palace, which is a straight road. Bengong thought that the emperor was also taking care of the proximity at that time, so he chose that side, but he didn't expect to make his sister distressed. Cen Muning frowned slightly, and said: "Go back to the palace and let people take a look, if the pottery kiln is not settled here, the palace will choose another place for my sister to stay." ”

"Then it's better to let Xinmei move to the Jinlai Hall of the concubine." Liao Rongyu thought for a moment, and then said: "There are also concubines living in the Jinlai Hall on the left and right, and it is deserted to enter and exit. The concubine and Sister Xin fell in love again, and they went in and out of the pair every day, but they didn't have to travel a lot of distances. ”

"What do you think?" Cen Mooning asked.

"So, thank you for the kindness of the queen mother and sister." Although Xinwei was happy with such an arrangement, he was also wronged that he didn't even have a decent place to live. It's hard to live in a place, but I have to give up just because of a little hobby of the concubine.

"The Queen." Ming Qing said in a low voice outside: "The maid of Weiyang Palace, Jingqiao, asks to see him." ”

"Jingqiao?" Liao Rongyu heard this name for the first time, presumably it was the maid that the emperor pointed to serve in the past.

"Let her in." Cen Mooning smiled gently.

"Yes." Ming and Qing retreated, and after a while, a slender servant walked in.

"Slave maid Jingqiao, please say hello to the queen." She held a brocade box and saluted the queen with a smile on her face. "The slave maid is ordered by the concubine to give this gift to the queen's mother, thank you for her favor for many days."

"It's really rare to have such a heart for the concubine." Xin Wei had to be sarcastic: "It's just that the concubine is so heartfelt, why don't you come here in person, but fake it to you?" Isn't giving gifts in person a better way to express the concubine's gratitude to the queen? ”

Of course, Jingqiao could hear the overtones in these words, she respectfully raised the brocade box, and said softly: "The concubine Niangniang was originally going to come over in person. But when he happened to be about to go out, the emperor arrived. The emperor felt that the slave was clever and could handle this matter, so he sent the slave and maid over to give gifts, and asked the queen to forgive me. ”

Choked by this girl's water, Xinwei's cheeks were flushed.

"It doesn't matter." Cen Muning nodded to Bingling with a pleasant face: "The concubine has a heart." ”

"The queen mother said this very much." Jing Qiao smiled and closed his mouth: "This gift, although it is not valuable, is the heart of our concubine." From a handful of clay to such a clay pot, every step is made by our mother. Naturally, the emperor has been patiently instructing, and it has been burned several times before and after, so that he can finally satisfy the concubine and enshrine it to the queen. ”

"Then the palace is going to have a good look." Cen Mooning watched Qingli and Bingling open the brocade box, took out the clay pot, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, it is a perfect pottery, the concubine is really a good blue heart." ”

"It's good if the queen likes it, and the slave and maid have to go back to serve the emperor and the concubine, and retire first." Jingqiao saluted again and retreated with a spring breeze on his face.

Cen Muning took the clay pot, looked at it carefully, and was about to say that the emperor still had such a craft, when the clay pot suddenly broke from the bottleneck and fell to the ground and fell apart.

"Ah, what's going on?" Bingling was startled: "How can this clay pot ......?"

Liao Rongyu and Xinwei were also really surprised. It's still good to take it out of the brocade box, how can it break when you hold it in your hand?

Cen Mu pinched half of the pottery, and heard the Ming and Qing dynasties outside: "The emperor has arrived in ......"

"Oops." Qing Li's heart couldn't help but shrink, and he hurriedly went to pick up the debris on the ground. In any case, put it back in the brocade box first.

"Don't move." Cen Muning knew that it was too late to do this, so she simply put it in front of her directly and let Zhuang Xianchen see better.

Who knew that it was not only Zhuang Chenchen who came in, but also Cang Pian.

"Your Majesty." Cen Mu Ning led everyone forward to greet him and saluted Zhuang Chen.

Cang Lian hurriedly saluted her: "The concubine always feels that it is appropriate to give the queen a gift to the concubine in person." The queen mother will not dislike the concubine's rough handiwork and is unwilling to accept it...... bar. ”

stepped on something under his feet, and the moment he lowered his head, the whole person froze. "Isn't this a clay pot made by the concubine herself? How could it be ......"

Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help frowning: "Doesn't the queen like it?" ”

This sounds like a flat tone, but in the end it makes people feel chills down their spines.

"Not really." Cen Muning had fully understood at this time that she was calculated by Cang Pian. Otherwise, how could it be possible to use all the effort to fire the pottery, which would break and shatter at the slightest touch. But I understand, it's a little late. "The concubine is a ...... talent"

"It's all concubines......"

"It's the concubine's fault......"

Liao Rongyu and Xin Wei spoke almost at the same time, and the two of them glanced at each other awkwardly, and Liao Rongyu knelt down. "It's not good to be a concubine, please forgive the emperor."

"What's going on?" Zhuang Chenchen glanced at her, and then glanced at Xinwei.

"The queen mother was very happy to receive this gift. I heard that it was made by the emperor and the concubine, and I couldn't put it down. But the concubine also wants to take a look, who knows, ......"

"It's not about Concubine Liao's business, it's the concubine who took the clay pot from the queen's mother, and when she handed it to her, she didn't pay attention, so she fell to the ground." Xinwei hurriedly defended.

"No, it was the concubine who didn't hold it steady before she fell to the ground, and Xinmei didn't mean it." Liao Rongyu blamed herself: "A good thing is a gift from the concubine to the queen, but it was broken by the concubine so carelessly, and I asked the emperor and the concubine to forgive me." ”

Cang Lian didn't expect that there would be people rushing to cover the queen for this kind of thing. But when things have developed to this point, she is not good in front of the emperor, and she insists that the queen does not like her things so she deliberately smashes them, which seems too deliberate. So, she could only sigh softly: "That's it, maybe it's because the concubine's craftsmanship is not good, so this clay pot is so slippery and difficult to hold." If the queen doesn't dislike it, the concubine will go back and make another one. ”

"Don't bother." Cen Mu smiled faintly: "Sister's heart, this palace accepted it." It's just that the clay pot is not easy to make, and my sister's hands are as soft as wattles, so how good is it if it is rough. Turning around, he asked Qingli and Bingling to carefully put together the clay pot and put it in the dormitory, which can also understand the sister's intentions. ”

"It's good if the mother doesn't dislike it." Cang Lian Rao smiled: "It's Concubine Liao and Xinmeiren, it's cold on the ground, hurry up." ”

She said this, but the two of them did not move.

Cang Lian He Zeng didn't understand that they didn't want to accept her love at all, so they had to play coquettish to the emperor: "Your Majesty, let the two sisters get up quickly." No matter how much you bother to do the things of the concubines, they are just dead objects, and they are not as delicate as the two sisters. ”

"That's fine." Zhuang Chenchen nodded gently: "Flatten." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines were reckless, and they knew that their behavior was wrong, so they voluntarily went to the prayer hall to chant for ten days to pray for the queen mother." Liao Rongyu still doesn't want to appreciate it, she is pious in what she says, but her heart is tough.

"The concubines also follow Concubine Liao, please ask the emperor for permission." Xinwei hurriedly agreed.

"Hmm." Zhuang Chenchen felt bored, turned around and said, "I'll come and see the queen again." ”

Cang Lian saluted the queen with a charming smile: "The concubine will come to talk to the queen another day." ”

got up, and she quickly chased after her: "Your Majesty, wait for the concubines." ”

The soft and warm voice made people listen to goosebumps falling to the ground.

"Why are you suffering?" Cen Mu Ning frowned and asked.

"The matter rests on the concubines, but they are just punished by the emperor. But if you don't...... I don't know what kind of storm is going to be set off. Liao Rongyu sighed and sighed: "Niangniang, people don't hurt the tiger, but the tiger is harmful to people." ”

"Yes, Niangniang, you are too kind, I am afraid that it will affect you." Xinwei also echoed.

"Thank you two sisters for reminding me, this palace has its own measure." Cen Muning said to Bingling and Qingli: "Put these pieces together, glue them together, and place them in a conspicuous place in the dormitory of this palace." So that this palace can remember today. ”

"Yes." Bingling and Qingli nodded and complied, and no one said anything.

The atmosphere in the inner room was dreary, and everyone frowned, as if they were facing a great enemy.

And everyone understands that it is not the concubine who frightens them, but the emperor.
