When Pillow Spring arrived at Fengyi Palace, it was already a little late, and it was Jun Su Nian, the female official in charge of Fengyi Palace, who came out of the door.

"Aunt Su Nian." Pillow Spring is very polite.

Su Nian saluted the pillow and blessing: "An Guiren came unfortunately. The Queen Mother has not been feeling well in the past two days, so she will get up for breakfast at this time, and An Guiren will have to wait for a while. ”

"That's natural." Pillow Chun bowed, "Just wait for the Queen Mother to be free, and Aunt Su Nian will come to inform you again." ”

The sun is not hot in May, but the gate of Fengyi Palace is a little sunny, and it is very weak to stand for a long time. Pillow Spring got up early today, and it was a thin layer of sweat that stuck to his back, and his lips turned whiter. This waited for half an hour, and when Su Nian came out again, he said, "The Queen Mother has finished eating." Our Queen Mother is kind-hearted, and she always has to pay homage to the Buddha after eating. At this time, I happened to be copying the scriptures, so I asked An Guiren to wait for a while. ”

"It should." Pillow Chun smiled, but she knew that this was just a means for Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi to train and beat her.

Su Nian went in again.

Yulan held on to the pillow and was quite distressed: "If you wait for a while, people will have a headache, the Queen Mother is really powerful." Little master, move into the shade of the tree, if you hurt your body, what will be done? ”

"It's nothing." Pillow Chun gently wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, and whispered, "Looking at it on the surface, how many people in this Fengyi Palace are looking at us." If you move it into the shade of the tree, won't it be until the afternoon? ”

After another half an hour, Su Nian came out again: "An Guiren has worked hard, hurry up and follow the slave maid to meet the Queen Mother." ”

Pillow Spring can go in, but did not enter the main hall, but entered the side pavilion. I saw the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi sitting on a soft chair in the middle of the pavilion, holding a volume of Buddha's heart in her hand and reading it quietly, looking very pious.

"The Queen Mother, Jin An." Pillow Spring bowed down.

"You're a good boy who knows everything." Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi looked up at her with a very kind gaze. gave her a seat, and looked at the tea again, "I came to ask the mourning family to be very diligent, but I made you wait for a long time, but you are not tired?" ”

Pillow Chun only lowered his head and replied respectfully: "It is a blessing to be able to see the Queen Mother, and it is too late for the concubine to rejoice." She thought that although Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi looked gentle and benevolent, she was actually good at manipulating power, and such a person was the most difficult. At this moment, I can't wait to bury my face in my chest, because I am extremely cautious, "I am afraid that the Queen Mother will dislike the concubines and concubines, and I dare not disturb the mother from time to time." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi saw that she was cautious, as if she had been frightened, and her face loosened a little: "What a lovely person." Su Nian, brought the pure gold Feihong auspicious cloud hairpin that the mourning family often wore when they were young. ”

After a while, Su Nian took out a luxurious and exquisite, it was the style of the bird Lingyun, and the bird feathers were very exquisite. Su Nian said: "An Guiren is so blessed, this golden hairpin was worn by our Queen Mother when she was a noble concubine." The bird is auspicious and auspicious, and the hairpin style is very festive. ”

Pillow Chunlian pulled her skirt, got up and bowed: "How can a concubine be rewarded so generously." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi took the time to pick up the golden hairpin and slowly penetrated it into the pillow spring hair: "You know how to advance and retreat, you have etiquette, and you can afford it." "The young child's hair is as black as a cloud, and he looks very good in such a hairpin." However, the mourning family heard that the emperor opened the treasury of Qianxi Palace today to find good jade ornaments, but is there such a thing? ”

Su Nian said: "Back to the words of the Queen Mother, this is indeed the case. His Majesty opened the treasury in the next court today, saying that he would choose a good jade to reward people, which was quite a waste of effort. ”

When Pillow Chun heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly stabilized himself on the ground with his hands. Last night, Mu Beiyi praised her for her bright and bright color, worthy of good jade, and said that he would reward her for a good hosta. It's hard to think that political affairs are cumbersome now, and he still remembers, but it's not perfunctory. It's just that now that this matter is concerned, presumably the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi is unhappy in her heart, and she must always be alerted.

Just thinking about it, seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi was very loving, she gently stroked the pillow and spring temples like a mother: "You were born clean, and Dai Yu will be graceful and beautiful, and you must be very liked by the emperor." ”

Pillow Chun knew that it was not good, so he forced a smile and replied obediently: "The concubine is young, where is the precious and good jade." I often hear people say that jade is in the mountains and the grass and trees are moist, and it is a good thing for all things. It is precisely because the Queen Mother is kind and generous, and the six palaces can look up to virtue. He also said, "I want to come to Your Majesty's move to remind the concubines to appreciate the kindness of the Queen Mother." ”

This was said very ironically, and when Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi saw that Pillow Spring knew the severity, she was no longer embarrassed, and sent Su Nian to help her up. Then he instructed her to be in harmony with the palace and devote herself to service, and then let her go.

Pillow Spring tossed for half a day, he was already very tired, and when he returned to Qi Yunxuan, he was lazy, and when he got on the couch, he called Yulan to take the hair ornament and earrings together. The objects rewarded by the Queen Mother were really gorgeous, and the heavy golden hairpin was placed on the table, with a muffled sound. Pillow Chun picked it up and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, he felt that this golden hairpin was unspeakably expensive, and it was indeed only suitable for the lord of the first house. This seems a little strange, Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi sent down the beautiful Zhao Cairen without any softness, it can be seen that she has always protected her shortcomings, how can she really appreciate her.

Yulan carefully opened her mouth while giving the pillow spring grate: "There is something that the slave and maid remembered, and told the little master to hear it, and I don't know if it will be used or not." ”

Pillow Spring motioned to her, but said it was okay.

"The slave maid was still young when she entered the palace, and it was the year His Majesty ascended the throne." Yulan tilted her head and recalled, "Although I didn't hear much, I knew it from the female official who passed the meal. Empress Yuan was born in a great Confucian family, and her name was very magnificent, called Jinghong. ”

"I see." Pillow Chun also understood, and put the hairpin down. Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi did not shy away from it. If the pillow is worn in spring, it is a little taboo, and I am always afraid of displeasing the Son of Heaven; If she doesn't wear it, it will inevitably make people say that she despises the Queen Mother. Then he instructed, "This hairpin is precious, and it is inconvenient to appear in front of people from time to time." In the future, when you greet the Queen Mother alone, you can dress me up again, so as to show me a piece of respect. ”

Yulan put away the hairpin as she said.

On this night, Mu Beiyi came to the harem again, just to go to Concubine Mi. Mu Beiyi has never favored anyone alone, and he thinks that Concubine Mi's beautiful posture is also common for several years. It's a pity that he has bad luck and doesn't have a son and a half daughter.

Before dinner, there were people from Qianxi Palace who came to reward things, which were a pair of fine flower-topped flawless Kunlun hostas. It's a rare color, as clean as ice and snow. I liked it very much when I saw it, but because of today's events, I had to let the peach blossoms be put away. Peach Blossom was very unhappy and even said that it was a pity.

That's a lot of fun. After dinner, the dining room of Yongning Palace served an exotic dim sum water letter cake for the first time. In the transparent and cold glass cup, the sparkling snacks are filled with soybean flour. Pillow Chun picked up the spoon and gently swung it, fiddling the crystal-like ice balls from the glass cup, and saw Xiao Xizi hurrying in.

"Chasing your soul or what?" Peach Blossom stumbled at the door, and said angrily, "The little master got a cold and beautiful pastry today, and I left a lot for you." ”

Pillow Chun looked up at him: "What do you look like in a hurry, you come and taste this water letter cake." ”

Xiao Xizi panted and wiped the beads of sweat on his head: "The little master feels sorry for the slave, and the slave is grateful." But it's all spread outside, something big happened in Yufu Palace, and you don't know it yet. Today, His Majesty went to Concubine Mi's place, and her boots were gone. The concubine in the same palace suddenly felt unwell, and sent someone to tell him to invite His Majesty away! ”
