Chapter 8: Concubines (2)

On this day, Pillow Chun and Liu Anran were playing finch cards in Qiyunxuan, and they were paired with peach blossoms and magnolias. Peach Blossom has been urinating since she was a child, and under the training of Pillow Spring, whether it is a lack of a door, an opening is turned over, and South Hu and North Hu push down Hu, it is all easy to come by. Yulan is smart, and she has learned the rules of this finch card in a few days, especially if she can make a big name, and Pillow Chun praised her for having a future as a female official.

It's Liu Anran who plays the worst, but in his leisure during the day, he has to have this fun. After three laps, she lost four coins of silver, and made fun of Pillow Chun: "It seems that you Qi Yunxuan can't eat enough, and the three masters and servants work together to win my money." ”

"If you don't feel convinced, then teach you how to divide flowers and boil wine, and I can win the three of you alone." Pillow Chun twisted a smile in his eyes.

Dividing flowers and cooking wine is Liu Anran's daughter-in-law, most of them protect such people's rules are very strict, and the handmaidens don't talk about playing cards, even if they can't say a word. Laughing and remembering something, "Speaking of today, His Majesty will definitely come to the harem." ”

According to the rules, Liu Meiren will definitely point to Liu Anran.

Liu Anran's face turned pale for a moment, and he seemed to be embarrassed: "Now this time is on the cusp." I originally wanted to avoid favor with the moon, but I didn't know that that day, even the nobleman invited the imperial doctor to ask the emperor's eldest son for peace, and with good intentions, he asked the imperial doctor to cut a pulse for me. Now I can't do it. ”

"Everyone is looking forward to it, but you don't want to?" Seeing that her spirit was not there, Pillow Chun simply pushed the card away, "I won't persuade you to avoid favor." Concubine Mi and Concubine Mi are both the queen mother's party, and now you and Liu Meiren have some face in the upstarts. Liu Meiren saw that it was not in line with His Majesty's wishes, whether you accepted it or not, it was a thorn in the eye of the Queen Mother's party. It's better to accept the favor and teach Your Majesty to remember you, and if there is anything good or bad in the future, you can also get one or two protections. ”

Liu Anran listened, although he nodded, there was a sad look in his eyes.

It rained in the spring rain that night, and Mu Beiyi clicked on Liu Anran's roster as everyone thought. The rain hits the peaches and apricots at night, the morning rises and falls everywhere, and the whole imperial capital is red, wet and green, and even takes a breath with the spring tide.

After eating porridge for lunch, Pillow Spring took Magnolia to He Liu Anran.

There are two pavilions in Qiyang Palace, one Anzhi and one Tinglan, who live in Lian Guiren and Liu Anran respectively. Among them, Tinglan Pavilion is Liu Anran's residence. Pillow Chunfang walked to the door, and saw the wine outside the pavilion: "The little master An Baolin is here!" As he spoke, he welcomed Pillow Spring in.

Tinglan Pavilion is very elegant, you can smell the faint smell of aromatherapy, and when you enter the cabinet, you can see Liu Anran sitting on the side of the small side, appliquΓ© to the mirror. The flower is pure and exquisite, and it is the scale of a moon-white fish, made of lily patterns.

"Sister Liu doesn't like appliquΓ©s in the past days, why is it so rare today." Pillow Chun sat on the side, and took over the tea served by boiling wine on the wall, which was the best Yunnan red.

There was joy in the eyes of the boiled wine, and he smiled ingeniously: "An Baolin doesn't know, yesterday His Majesty praised our little master Liu Yemei for being very good-looking, and said that if you put on Huadian, it will be more graceful." ”

Liu Anran's cheeks turned red in an instant, his eyes were full of spring water, and he said angrily: "You hooves are used to talking nonsense, so don't you go out to steam some peach cakes for An Baolin to eat." Immediately, he looked at Pillow Chun and whispered: "You don't want to learn from her to her." ”

Pillow Chun pasted it over and looked at it, only to see that there were indeed several flowers on Liu Anran's table, gold leaf, silver paper, and flower red. On the right side of the small case, there is a sachet embroidered with a few stitches, and the pattern is a mandarin duck, and it is clear in an instant. Yesterday, Liu Anran was still unable to avoid favor, but today he seemed to have lost his soul, and couldn't help asking: "How did Your Majesty treat you yesterday." ”

Liu Anran's face became even hotter when he heard this, and he unconsciously put Jinpa to the side of his face: "Your Majesty treats me very well." Immediately, he felt even more ashamed, "Your Majesty is different from other men. He reads the emperor's strategy, and also bypasses a lot of miscellaneous arts, speaks with great grace, and is also handsome. ”

"But pleased?" Pillow Chun couldn't help but feel that the woman was weak, especially when she moved the red luan's heart, she was happy and happy by that person, and sad and sad by that person. Since then, I have always been involved in my heart, and I am tired of lovesickness, which is really pitiful.

If you don't move, you must also keep that pure heart.

"This ......" Liu Anran's eyes dimmed, "I don't dislike it, although I praised it twice." Others are faint and not necessarily extra favorable. ”

"It's only the first day since I came here, and I'm familiar with it in the future, maybe I'll be favored soon." Pillow Spring comforted her. Thinking of the name of Mu Beiyi's affection, he couldn't bear to say that Liu Anran was sad to hear it. Immediately, I thought that if I liked it, it would be blue-eyed, or it would be good in a few days.

As he was talking, there was a holy decree to come down and promote Liu Anran as the fifth concubine.

Pillow Chun was happy for her, and hurriedly gave her the prepared jade bracelet as a gift. Because of the promotion, Liu Anran had to be busy with a lot of things, and after a few words, he left.

Supported by Magnolia, Pillow Spring slowly walked back from the palace road. She thought about Liu Anran's favor in her heart, and only thought that it was good, and if the Liu family was trusted, southern Xinjiang would be peaceful. In this way, the emperor and the courtiers benefit each other, and only a small concubine is needed as a tie.

It is indeed the spring rain that is wet, and the palace road is also a little waterlogged, and the shoes will be wet after walking two steps. Pillow Spring was in a hurry to go back to change the clothes, so he walked in a hurry, and saw a line of waiters carrying soft public opinion in front of him from a distance, and he couldn't avoid it, so he stood in the corner of the wall and saluted.

According to the rules of the palace, only those who are above the fifth rank concubine can sit in such a comfortable soft room.

It is exactly like this, there is a concubine sitting above, with beautiful brocade clothes and very decent. Soft Yu walked slowly, walked a few steps, but listened to the concubine: "Slow." She looked sideways at Pillow Chun, who was bowing short by the side of the road: "You are An Baolin." ”

Pillow Chun buried his head and saluted: "Yes." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Qi chuckled, slowly leaned back on her back, and fiddled with her red nails: "I remember you, you said that Concubine Qi Shu was generous, and you were with Mu Ende." ”

Pillow Chun remembered the events of that day, although she didn't mean to, in the end, what she said was high-sounding, and in the end it was the concubine who received the punishment for copying the scriptures. But accidentally offended her? After thinking about it carefully, he replied, "The concubine has a low status, where can she not be favored." ”

"You know that your status is low...... "the concubine looked suspicious, "why is he only short, and he doesn't kneel down to me?" ”

According to the rules of the palace, there are also people who kneel down to the honorable position to see the big gift. However, the big gifts are cumbersome, and Concubine Qi Shu has always been ruled by leniency, so now when the palace concubines meet, most of them are simplified. Pillow Chun heard that the concubine was quite difficult, so he had to put up his dress, kneel on the damp palace road, and salute: "Baolin An's family asks for peace to the little concubine." ”

"But the rules are complete." Concubine Yan was very satisfied, but she didn't tell her to get up, only to see the rain on the palace road soaking down the skirt on the pillow Chun's knees, "I heard that your father is Zuo Cheng of Shangshu Province, and he really taught well." ”
