The dim halo on the road set off Tao Siniang's immature face like a shy crescent, and her thick long eyelashes covered her eyes, although she couldn't see the whole picture and felt a little regretful, but it added a bit of youth and respect to her.

His Majesty the Emperor raised his chin and asked in a tone of voice, "Which palace are you from?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the maid is the maid of the sweep of the Qiushui Palace." The girl's voice was still trembling, like a frightened rabbit, and the heart of His Majesty the Emperor rippled in circles.

"Qiushui Palace......" His Majesty the Emperor's complexion froze for a moment, and soon returned to normal. He pretended to be stern and continued to ask, "Fang is you singing?" ”

The frightened Tao Li's shoulders shrunk and denied it, "No, no, no......" halfway through the words, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly admitted: "Yes, yes." It was sung by the servant. The handmaid is ...... It's just a moment of playfulness, Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants to punish you...... The maid ...... "She wanted to say two words of forgiveness, but in the end all the words turned into choked throats.

His Majesty the Emperor laughed. He hadn't seen such a playful and lovely demeanor in a long time. The Tao Li in front of her is like an uncarved piece of jade, which has her own unique beauty.

"Reprimand? Good! Later, I'll punish you well! His Majesty the Emperor said with his hands on his knees and a pun.

Tao Li burst into tears when she heard this, and she couldn't help but forgive: "Your Majesty is gracious, Your Majesty is gracious." Slave, maid, don't dare anymore! She was so anxious that she forgot the rules and raised her face to look directly at His Majesty the Emperor.

The pitch-black pupils are like agate beads soaked in water, and three or two tears hang in the corners of their eyes, as if they are falling. It's really pear blossoms with rain, and I feel pity.

Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor was stupid. In the palace, beauties can be seen everywhere.

Tao Li is not top-notch in appearance, but is as simple and clean as a water jade, crystal clear, and can be seen at a glance. Her appearance sprinkled strings of nectar in His Majesty's heart, which had dried up for a long time.

This is the first time Tao Li has seen His Majesty the Emperor since she entered the palace, and he is different from the unsmiling and awe-inspiring emperor she imagined. He seemed kind and kind, like an uncle or elder in the family.

Tao Li and His Majesty the Emperor made eye contact, and suddenly realized that they had trespassed. She quickly lowered her head and silently shed tears.

Tian Zhen looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was in a state of discouragement, and then looked at the frightened Tao Li, and shook his head.

This kid is good-looking, but he is not very open-minded.

Tian Zhen glanced at Xiao Huangmen, and Xiao Huangmen hurriedly whispered a few words in Tao Li's ear. Only then did Tao Li understand what His Majesty the Emperor meant by "punishment".

Tao Lideng's face turned red, she couldn't stop twisting the hem of her clothes, and murmured in a low voice: "Maid, maid is willing to be punished by Your Majesty." Before he could finish speaking, his ears turned red.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at Tao Li's small blushing earlobes and stretched out his hand to her, "Come, go back with me." ”

Tao Li bit her lower lip, got up and stepped on, starting another part of her life.

His Majesty the Emperor walked slowly into the night. Tong Wen walked out of the shadows, looked at the backs of His Majesty the Emperor and Tao Li sitting in each other's arms, and sighed faintly, "This is fate." ”

In the early morning of the next day, His Majesty the Emperor pampered the affairs of the palace maids of the Qiushui Palace spread to every corner of the palace.

Shu Meiren didn't sleep all night. On the way to greet Empress Yang, I was surprised to hear that His Majesty the Emperor had a new favorite, and he still saw the right eye when he returned to Yongning Palace. Shu Meiren was angry and regretful. She was angry that His Majesty the Emperor acted rashly, and she was even more angry that she didn't read the yellow calendar when she spoke.

All the concubines came to Fenghuan Palace with different expressions to greet Queen Yang, and then sat down. According to the grade, Shu Meiren ranked behind, but today, everyone's eyes glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, which made Shu Meiren uncomfortable, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Empress Yang glanced at her as if unintentionally and said, "Recently, Your Majesty is working on the drought. As you can see, there has not been a single rain since the beginning of spring, and I am afraid that Kyoto will suffer from a great drought as An Taishi said. As a harem concubine, you can't share your Majesty's worries, and you should let Your Majesty be happy. ”

Concubine Ning Shu responded respectfully.

Empress Yang's eyes fluttered, looked at Liu Yuan, and asked with a smile: "Concubine Liu's birthday is coming, I heard from the people of Taichang Temple that this year's scene is not small." "You don't need to hear what people say, you can see it with your eyes. Liu Yuan's Changchun Palace is not idle when she sees the sky, either sending budding flowers or newly made clothes. Otherwise, Shu Meiren would not be jealous to the point of having a petty relationship with His Majesty the Emperor.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yuan knew that the queen would persuade her to be frugal and not to spend too much.

Why did Shu Meiren annoy His Majesty the Emperor, everyone knew it. Empress Yang made this clear in front of everyone, it was nothing more than wanting to beat Concubine Liu. Therefore, the concubines put on a posture of watching a good show, waiting for Liu Yuan to answer.

"Really?" Liu Yuan picked up the silk handkerchief and printed the corners of her lips, "The scene is big or not, the concubine doesn't know, the concubine only knows what San Lang meant." If the queen really wants to ask, it is better to ask Saburo. ”

She deliberately insisted on the words Saburo, that is, to tell everyone that her relationship with His Majesty the Emperor was not comparable to ordinary concubines.

Empress Yang smiled dryly, "Concubine Liu still doesn't know at all?" Even if it was the pomp that Ah Xu personally promised you, it was before the drought. Today is yesterday, and everyone in Kyoto, from the Son of Heaven to the people, is busy with the drought. Are you confused at this juncture? Besides, the birthday banquet is held every year, and when the New Year is good next year, won't it be the same? "The implication is that you haven't passed this year or next year.

Liu Yuan called His Majesty the Emperor San Lang, and the Empress called Ah Xu directly. All the concubines lowered their ears and bowed their heads, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

With the special attention of the queen mother, Liu Yuan's hand holding the silk handkerchief retracted into a wide sleeve and clenched it into a fist, but she always maintained a smile on her face that did not mind.

"Instead of worrying about the concubine's birthday banquet, the queen should first set rules for the newlyweds."

Liu Yuan's cherry mouth rose slightly, and she looked at Queen Yang with some provocation in her eyes. She has already received Feng'er, and His Majesty the Emperor intends to make Tao Li a talent. What she knows, the queen has no reason not to know.

Overnight, the maid of the Sasi Palace was ranked below the beauty and became one of the twenty-seven women of the fifth grade. It was indeed unexpected by everyone, but it made sense.

His Majesty the Emperor has not favored the newcomer for a long time. Empress Yang, Concubine Ning Shu, and even Liu Yuan all thought that he was determined, and the maidservant who wanted to sprinkle and sweep could actually enter his eyes. Empress Yang, who seemed to be indifferent, was more uncomfortable than anyone else. Although she is ranked first in the six palaces, His Majesty the Emperor's favor did not give her more because of her noble status.

When His Majesty the Emperor welcomed Liu Yuan into the palace, she didn't even dare to make a fuss, so she swallowed this fruit that was not eaten by people.

Now, His Majesty the Emperor has fallen in love with the maid of Qiushui Palace.

A woman who is either a brother or a woman who is a son. It can't be helped, whoever makes him like the leftovers in other people's bowls.

God knows how disgusting and annoying Queen Yang is. But she still didn't dare to quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor.
