Chapter 66: Phoenix Dance

In a few days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve.

The Fengluan Palace, as usual, has always been quiet.

Li Shushen took a handful of fish food, leaned on the edge of the pool, and watched the koi fish in the pond swim happily, which was also so free, and couldn't help but feel a little sad thoughts in her heart.

Suddenly, there was a cry of a toddler in her ears, and she suddenly realized that she turned her head and asked, "Is Yunke crying?" ”

Yuzhi, who was standing beside the queen, looked anxious when she heard this, sighed and said, "I don't know, there are two children in this palace, and they are always crying all day long." ”

The queen frowned slightly, carefully recognized the cry, and when she recognized that it was the voice of the emperor, Fang slowly said out, "Since the Yuerong Emperor Ji came to this Fengluan Palace, she has always cried non-stop, did she leave her mother concubine and come to the palace, is it to recognize life?" ”

"Oh, don't say that, mother." Yuzhi waved her hand again and again, and hurriedly stopped, "This emperor has only been born for a few days, who has just given birth to a child who doesn't cry?" The slave remembered that when the eldest prince was born, she also cried a lot. ”

After hearing Yuzhi's words, the queen relaxed slightly, she was silent for a moment, and Fang Qi said, "Yuzhi, do you think the emperor gave Zhong Zhaoyuan's daughter the name Yuerong, does it have any meaning?" ”

When Yuzhi heard this, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles that she couldn't hide, and she said with a hint of sarcasm, "It's about taking flowers and looking like the moon, this is a good thing to say, it's not good, isn't it just that the emperor dislikes Zhong Zhaoyuan for having only a pretty face, and he can't do anything?" ”

The queen smiled faintly, sprinkled a handful of fish food into the pool, and looked at the ripples of the fish competing for food, and couldn't help but sigh, "She really has a good face." ”

"How good is it? If it doesn't fall into the eyes of the emperor, isn't it still useless? Niangniang, you didn't help her in vain, there are only three children in the palace, and a son and a daughter are all under your knees, isn't it just as we want? Now that Zhao Yuan has lost favor and lost the emperor, I don't know what it will be like to be angry. ”

The queen listened to Yuzhi casually, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I heard that Wei Baolin, who had just entered the palace, was very close to Zhong Zhaoyuan?" ”

Yuzhi was taken aback for a moment, and Fang took a sip and said, "That little master Wei, I really don't remember that Niangniang chose her to enter the palace in the first place, and she actually went to please Zhong Zhaoyuan, which is really ungrateful." ”

The queen's eyes drooped indifferently, and she said quietly, "She has her own plans." That Wei Baolin, isn't he also born with good looks? ”

Yuzhi sneered slightly, "It's not very good, and her appearance is not as good as Niangniang." ”

The queen smiled gracefully when she heard this, and said indifferently, "This palace is old, and it can't compare to these newcomers." ”

Yuzhi's eyes were sour, "Don't say that, Niangniang, the eldest prince is so small, and now we have Emperor Yuerong again, and the good days are still to come." ”

The queen heard Yuzhi mention the prince and the emperor, and her heart was slightly comforted. She is in the deep palace, and the only one who can survive is her child.

In her thoughts, the queen unintentionally raised her head to look outside the palace, and saw a pretty figure walking in front of her palace, and before she could see clearly, there was only a little shadow left, she couldn't help but wonder, and asked out loud, "Who is the person who just walked over?" ”

Yuzhi listened to the queen's question, and hurriedly walked over to see if it was still her sharp eyes, and immediately recognized the person, turned her head to the queen and smiled, "That's Zhou Baolin of Lanyue Xuan." ”

The queen pondered for a moment, and Fang said, "Is it the general's daughter?" ”

"yes." Yuzhi walked up to the queen respectfully, and said with a gentle smile, "It was selected by Niangniang herself during the draft that day, but Niangniang doesn't remember much?" ”

The queen suddenly remembered that day's draft. Shen Changan had a miscarriage, Chu Luo left with her, leaving only her Li Shushen alone in the palace, so Zhou Ruohua was selected. Thinking of this, she suddenly said to Yuzhi, "Go and send something to Zhou Baolin, just say that it is rewarded by the palace." ”

Yuzhi was so witty and sophisticated, she had already understood the meaning of the queen's words, and hurriedly agreed.

At that time, only Li Shushen was left sitting alone in the courtyard, and she involuntarily fell into contemplation, but she didn't realize that someone was coming behind her.

"Sister."

She looked back and suddenly saw Zhong Yuxiu Yingying standing behind her.

Yuxiu is much younger than Shushen in the end, even if she is a mother, she still has a girlish spring on her face. She was dressed in a red pomegranate dress, smiling, and peerless.

When the queen saw her coming, she also smiled politely, "Why did Zhaoyuan come here at this time?" ”

Yuxiu's eyebrows darkened when she heard this, and she said depressedly, "It's not very interesting to stay in the palace, it's really boring to guard a group of palace maids and eunuchs all day long." Speaking of this, she looked at the queen and smiled quietly, "It's better to come and see my sister, even if you talk to your sister, it's also excellent." ”

The queen remained silent, just frowned slightly and said, "Hasn't the emperor come to you these days?" ”

As soon as she mentioned this, it touched Yuxiu's anger, and she immediately said indignantly, "Where is the emperor still here, since the name of Yuerong was given that time, the concubine has never seen the emperor's shadow again." ”

The queen smiled very reservedly, and said gently, "Even the Chonghua Hall has been left out in the cold these days, but I saw people running towards the Tongxin Palace." ”

Zhong Yuxiu snorted coldly unconsciously, and said disapprovingly, "The emperor is just a temporary freshness, and it will be good after a while." The concubines can't see what Song Jieyu is good about, she looks a little manly, and she doesn't understand the rules, so she really doesn't know what the emperor likes about her. ”

The queen has experienced so many years of not being favored, and she seems to be indifferent to this matter. Who Chu Luo favors or who she likes is not a big deal for her. What's more, no matter how much resentment she has towards Song Yanji, she will never be able to show it in front of Zhong Yuxiu.

Thinking of this, she smiled faintly, "Song Jieyu's goodness naturally doesn't fall in our eyes, as long as the emperor is happy, what do we have to fight for?" ”

Yuxiu saw that the queen looked indifferent, and she was also unhappy in her heart. She Zhong Yuxiu is not Li Shushen, she can do anything. In the palace of Lin'an back then, Li Shushen suffered from Shen Changan's anger for two years, and even Zhao Nanyan, a concubine, almost crossed her, and she just endured it silently. If Zhong Yuxiu is replaced, it is not necessary to turn the entire Lin'an Palace.

Yuxiu thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to argue. When the two were silent, a palace maid hurriedly broke in outside.

When Yuxiu saw it, she was extremely displeased, and immediately opened her mouth and scolded angrily, "Didn't you see that the palace and the queen mother were talking? What are you doing in a panic?! ”

The little palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, "The queen mother, Zhaoyuan mother, and the little master Jieyu are outside, waiting to see the queen mother." ”

There is only one little master of Jieyu in the palace, and that is Song Yanji. Hearing this, Li Shushen and Zhong Yuxiu were both shocked.

At this moment, Li Shushen suddenly had a sense of urgency about the current enemy, and she asked in a deep voice, "Why is Song Jieyu here?" ”

The little palace maid was already frightened, and said again and again, "Slave maid...... The slave doesn't know......"

Zhong Yuxiu looked at Li Shushen's face was slightly pale, and she was also disdainful in her heart. Just now she was so unconcerned, but at this moment, Song Yanji came to the door, but she became more and more nervous, which was really ridiculous.

Yuxiu thought in her heart, but she was still smiling on her face, she leaned on the queen's side and said softly, "What is she going to do, the concubine will accompany her sister to take a look." ”

In the main hall, Song Yanji was already sitting in the hall, and when she saw the queen and Zhaoyuan coming out, she got up and saluted the two of them.

The queen was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she only said lightly, "Jieyu shouldn't stay in the palace to serve the emperor, why is she here at this time?" ”

Yan Ji heard the sarcasm in the queen's words, and she didn't care about it, and said with a calm gaze, "Yan Ji has been in the palace for a while, and she has never come to visit the queen. ”

When Yuxiu heard this, she looked her up and down expressionlessly, and her tone was extremely cold, "You know that you haven't come to greet the queen mother, and when you come here, shouldn't you bow down?" How can you be perfunctory at will? ”

Yan Ji's face stiffened, and she immediately lowered her head and replied, "The rules in the palace are too cumbersome, Yan Ji forgot about it for a while, and I ask my mother to forgive me." ”

"How many rules can there be, you can forget it, what are you ......" Yuxiu was about to choke with her, but was suddenly pulled by the queen, the queen turned her head and glanced at her, and said in an easy-going tone, "I mentioned this matter to the emperor about learning etiquette, and the emperor said that everything came according to Jieyu's meaning, Jieyu forgot it for a while, so if someone teaches it again, why is Zhaoyuan angry?" ”

After that, the queen helped the sideburns bead flower, and commanded, "Give Song Jieyu a seat." ”

The little palace maid on the side immediately moved a chair up, and Yan Ji was about to sit down, but she heard Zhong Yuxiu say coldly, "Wait a minute." ”

Yan Ji looked at her coldly, Zhong Yuxiu was not to be outdone, her eyes sat on the tea cup next to the table, slightly bright, and suddenly smiled, "This palace is a little thirsty, I don't know if I can bother Jieyu to help this palace bring tea?" ”

When the queen heard this, she immediately twisted her eyebrows and said, "So many palace people are here, isn't it okay for Zhaoyuan to call one at will, why bother Jieyu to do it herself." ”

Yu Xiu was still angry, a sneer was provoked on her lips, and she looked at Yan Ji and said, "Song Jieyu just said that she is not suitable for the rules of the palace, and it is also the rules of the palace to call slaves, since Jieyu is unwilling to follow the rules of the palace, she naturally has to do everything herself." Right now, it's not difficult for the palace to bother Jieyu to move her hand, right? ”

Yan Ji's clear water face was gloomy and gloomy, and she couldn't even see the light at the bottom of her eyes, she smiled coldly and said in a deep voice, "Naturally, it's not a difficult thing, Yan Ji brought it to Zhaoyuan Niangniang." ”

Yuxiu smiled proudly, watching her pour a cup of tea and bring the teacup to herself, and said with a smile, "Thank you for Jieyu's kindness." After that, she was about to reach out to pick it up, the moment she touched the teacup, her fingers moved, and suddenly overturned the teacup, and the whole hot tea was sprinkled on the back of Yan Ji's white hand, the teacup shattered, Yan Ji shouted in pain, and her hands were suddenly red.

It happened so suddenly, and it caught the queen off guard. Leng Xiang, the palace maid beside Yan Ji, hurriedly stepped forward, looked at Yan Ji's hand, and was so anxious that she burst into tears, "Is the little master okay?" ”

"Where is there such a squeamishness, isn't Song Jieyu a child of the rivers and lakes? This little injury is nothing. Yuxiu had a smug smile on her face, she glanced at Yan Ji, and did not hide the joy in her eyes, "The palace is unstable, and it accidentally burned Jieyu, can Jieyu help the palace hold another lamp?" ”
