Because of the sudden fire, the palace was shaken, but the days continued in an orderly manner, at the end of March, the draft that made the whole palace busy was finally over, and after the palace election, the unselected show girls were rewarded with some brocade beads and hairpins and sent out of the palace and returned home. The retained show girls were all gathered in Xinyi Palace, ready to receive a month-long teaching of etiquette in the palace, and then awarded positions.

A spring rain continued for five or six days, and on March 28, the sky finally cleared, and the unhappiness caused by the fire and rumors in the palace seemed to have been washed away by this heavy rain. The air is misty with a faint mist when the rain stops, which is exceptionally fresh, making the warmth of spring a little refreshing and pleasant.

Qi Long made a decree early in the morning to hold a banquet on the Lingxi Pavilion by the blue wave pond to enjoy the scenery.

Lingxi Pavilion is built on an artificially piled hill in the north of the middle of the blue wave pool, there is a water corridor to the south that extends zigzagly, and the pool side is connected to the Juhe Palace where the original Yun Concubine lived, and there is a flying bridge to the north to the shore, the lower foundation of the pavilion is quite high, standing in it can enjoy the whole picture of the blue wave pool, looking at it, the water and the sky are the same, the waves are sparkling, and it is extremely confusing. Originally, it was one of the favorite scenery of the harem concubines, but since Qi Long built a large-scale project here for Concubine Yun, all the concubines couldn't help but have mustard in their hearts and didn't like to come here. After the fall of Concubine Yun a year ago, this place was once again favored by the concubines in the palace, and it quickly became lively.

Su Mi took Mi Qing and walked towards Bibo Pool, turning a corner, the scenery of Juhe Palace appeared in front of him, since Concubine Yun was relegated to go to the Jin Palace, the courtyard here has naturally been snubbed a lot. Only a tree in the courtyard hibiscus is still blooming like colorful clouds and stars, a little streamer, the spring breeze blows, and the garden is full of fragrance.

Before he got closer, he heard a few beautiful voices coming from a distance, and several concubines in beautiful clothes with their personal palace maids were pointing around in the courtyard of Juhe Palace. approached and recognized Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Wen, and they were discussing with great interest. After passing through the dormitory of this former favorite concubine, it is inevitable to have a self-masthetation and show off. It's a pity that Concubine Yun, the best audience, is missing, and there are only a few rough girls kneeling around, which inevitably makes a few people feel a little disinterested.

"Without the master, it will be desolate after all." Concubine Li Xian said with a little emotion. She is wearing an orange brocade pipa skirt today, with a few fresh and elegant daffodils embroidered on the corners, and a golden phoenix swaying obliquely on her sideburns, hanging with a twinkling pearl, and the whole person looks a lot brighter.

"It's already pretty good. I thought that without the master, this place must be deserted, but I didn't expect that this place is still well taken care of. These minions have always liked to be lazy and fish, but I didn't expect that there are also diligent ones. Luo Zhaoyi said, she was wearing a light blue Yunshui Xiaoxiang pattern palace dress, and looked around with a lofty bearing.

"In my opinion, it's not a slave who is diligent, I came here a few days ago, and it's still very depressed and lonely. It's just that there are new nobles entering the palace in the past few days, and I'm afraid that they will be arranged to move in soon, so these minions don't dare to be lazy. The voice is delicate and crisp, it is Concubine Wen who is wearing a smoky color splendid long dress, obviously it is still the cold weather of spring, but she holds a delicate Suzhou beauty fan in her hand, and several lifelike butterflies are embroidered on the fan surface, sparkling purple, and the dark purple gemstone forehead ornament lit on Concubine Wen's forehead complements each other, dazzling.

"The scenery of Juhe Palace has always been one of the best places in the palace, and the building is also magnificent, exquisite and elegant, I wonder who will move in next?" Concubine Li Xian said.

"Sister Wen likes Juhe Palace so much, it's better to tell the emperor another day, such a good scenery is also excellent for the growth of the little emperor." Luo Zhaoyi raised his head as he spoke, and several golden steps inlaid with red and green on the side of the bun sparkled and shining, dotted with stars.

"Am I blessed with this?" Concubine Wen said with a smile.

"The emperor loves the little emperor so much, how can he not allow it?" Concubine Li Xian smiled softly: "Now that the emperor only has this idea, how can there be any reason not to worry about it." ”

"Now the emperor can't go to me once or twice a month, even if he wants to say, he can't find a chance." Concubine Wen said with a little grievance, and a little jokingly: "It's not as good as Sister Luo, I heard that Concubine Ni told the emperor last time that you are virtuous and reasonable." It's not as good as ......."

"I'm a layman, so I won't come here to contaminate the aura here." Luo Zhaoyi smiled reluctantly and said, "There will be a new noble person in the palace soon, why should I, an old man, be ugly?" ”

"That's right, new people are coming in right now, and I don't know what the situation is. I'm afraid that the emperor won't remember me as a yellow-faced woman. Concubine Wen shook her fan indignantly.

"No matter how many newcomers come in, no one can hold you back, the eldest princess is in your palace, and the emperor doesn't care about your mother and daughter for any month." Concubine Li Xian comforted.

"There are a lot of people who have pressed us, and now in this palace, where do you still have to talk about the noble and lowly from the lowly, it has long been that the noble and the low are not distinguished, and the slaves have bullied the master's head, and the pregnant one in the Xifu Palace is temporarily suspended, that is everyone's creation and destiny, since we have no chance, let's not talk about it, let's talk about the place in Caiwei Palace, what origin, what status, how to ......" Concubine Wen was talking with relish, suddenly heard the voice outside, several people turned around, and suddenly saw Su Mi standing outside, His face froze suddenly.

Concubine Wen's expression was even more embarrassed, the fan in her hand was raised, covering half of her delicate face unnaturally, and her eyes turned away, as if she didn't know what to say.

Su Mi smiled slightly, lifted the Biluo long skirt that dragged the ground at her feet, crossed the threshold, strolled close to Concubine Wen, glanced at a few people who were there who didn't know how to be, and suddenly reached out and took Concubine Wen's fan. Concubine Wen was caught off guard and watched Su Mi's actions blankly.

"What a delicate fan, but it's as elegant and moving as my sister's." Su Mi looked at the fan carefully, praised, and then shook it lightly a few times, a breeze floated by, blowing a few strands of bangs on her forehead, revealing a charming and chic lotus forehead ornament dyed with rouge, Su Mi said with a smile: "It's really time for my sister's fan to be available, no wonder Ban Jieyu of the virtuous concubine in ancient times also said, 'I am often afraid that the autumn festival is coming, the cold and the heat will be snatched away, and the donation pods will be abandoned, and the kindness will be refused." 'What's it?"

Concubine Wen's face suddenly didn't look good, and she was about to open her mouth to ridicule each other, but Su Mi preemptively said: "Don't talk about autumn now, even summer hasn't come, but my sister found this out in time." It's really ......," he said, the corners of his lips raised an elegant and pretty arc, "I don't need anything like this now, sister." Sister has to take care of it. ”

After that, he returned the group fan to Concubine Wen's hands, regardless of her face, and flew away.

The sound of something being thrown out behind him came from afar, and Su Mi smiled slightly. Ban Jieyu fell out of favor with Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, the deep palace was lonely, the years were long, and she was sympathetic to the prosperity of the city, and she used the autumn fan to hurt herself. Just now she sarcastically mocked Concubine Wen like the group fan mentioned in Ban Jieyu's poem, because of the migration of the season, alternating between cold and hot, she has lost her favor and favor, and can only be abandoned to donate pods, no wonder Concubine Wen has lost her temper.

Su Mi gradually walked away, leaving these voices behind his ears.

After walking for a while, Mi Qing couldn't help but ask, "Niangniang has never liked to pay attention to these gossips, why is it suddenly more serious today?" ”

"Now it's a newcomer coming in, and I don't know how many stunning beauties there are, if I let them talk like this, I'm afraid that those newcomers who come in will also think that I'm a bully, and the trouble will only increase in the future." Su Mi smiled indifferently.

"But Niangniang has a grudge against them like this, and Niangniang's current position is not as good as theirs......"

"What is a position? In this harem, even if you are the mother of the country, if you can't see the emperor's face, what is the difference between you and a rough palace maid who sweeps the floor. As for the enemy...... Su Mi sneered, "Now that I am in this palace, which one is not my enemy?" What is the difference between more and less? ”

Passing through the nine-curved corridor, it is the Lingxi Pavilion, the pavilion is surrounded by a soft shark bead gauze tent, loosely held by the silver hooks on both sides, half covering the slightly cold breeze in the spring, and the white marble carved railings around are exquisite and chic. The sun has not yet set, and the delicate palace lamps hanging around have already illuminated every corner early.

Originally, ordinary people went out to enjoy the scenery to see the willows in spring, to enjoy the plum blossoms in the snow, to enjoy the lotus in the summer, and to overflow the cinnamon fragrance in the autumn, but in this palace where wealth and power are most concentrated, the changes in the scenery began to be controlled by manpower. Even in winter, you can see the endless scenery of lotus leaf fields and jasper.

Many peach, willow green, cloud-clothed concubines or rely on this time, or sit upright, or talk and laugh, or whisper, for a while, the pavilion in the fangzhi Tinglan, the light and shadow fragrance, the colorful yarn barrier is hazy and pretty, and the warbler and swallow are faint in the sky.
