In the Liuyun Palace, the fragrance is lingering, and Beiliuyun is setting up a chessboard alone, and I don't know when he learned to play chess.

Chu Luoyi looked at the luxurious young man sitting there in a golden silk and purple robe, a little suddenly, the sun shone on him, plated with a layer of golden light, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, a little cold, a little indifferent, and his brows were tightly locked, so that people couldn't help but step forward to smooth him.

"Your Royal Highness Qiqijiu, Miss Luoyi has arrived."

Beiliuyun waved his hand, and the minions bowed and retreated.

"Come here." Beiliu Yuntou didn't lift his head.

Chu Luoyi walked in front of him, he looked at the chessboard again, and finally impatiently threw away the chess pieces in his hand, splashed the carefully laid chess game, grabbed Chu Luoyi, and put him on his lap.

"As soon as I saw you, I was uneasy, I was two sides who were on equal footing, but I went straight into a dead end." Beiliuyun rested his head against her neck.

"You don't have a strong mind, but you have to blame me, what is the reason?" Chu Luoyi chuckled.

Bei Liuyun chuckled, but he was stunned when he raised his eyes, and his shallow eyes were dyed with a layer of anger: "Who hit the face?" ”

Chu Luoyi raised his eyes slightly to look at him, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "Zhao Meiren." ”

The man got up to get the medicine for the injury, but he kept his face calm and didn't speak, the cold medicine was lightly wiped on his cheeks, and there was some pain, but Chu Luoyi looked at Beiliuyun and said lightly: "What are you annoyed about, I can still stand a slap." ”

Beiliuyun threw the medicine bottle in his hand onto the chessboard, raised the woman's chin with two fingers and said quietly: "What do you say I'm annoyed about?" ”

Chu Luoyi was speechless by his gaze, but gently brushed his fingers down and said, "Did you bring what I wanted?" ”

Bei Liuyun's face was not good, he took out a pack of powder and a pearl hairpin from his sleeve, and threw them on the table, Chu Luoyi put away the small powder, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Zhi used Xiao Yuluo to poison you, you have to make good use of it, so as to provoke the relationship between Xiao Yuluo and Wang Zhi, you can force Xiao Yuluo to turn against Wang Zhi, and use it completely for you." ”

Bei Liuyun looked at her silently, Chu Luoyi avoided his gaze, saw that he didn't speak, got up and said, "I'll go back first, there are still many things to do in the imperial dining room." ”

Walking to the door, Beiliuyun spoke softly, with a bit of begging: "Isn't it good to stay by my side?" I'll bring you whatever you want. ”

Chu Luoyi's steps stagnated slightly, but he only left after a pause.

Bei Liuyun looked at her back, flicked his sleeves and lifted the chessboard on the table, and the black and white chess pieces crackled and bounced in the huge Liuyun Palace, causing a burst of echoes and then calming down.

found the Kapok Dao who had been pushed out by Shang Gong to be a shield, but was rescued by her, and whispered something.

Kapok was a little apprehensive, but when he looked at those dark eyes, he nodded suspiciously.

Chu Luoyi handed her the powder and left.

Early the next morning, the Shanggong Bureau handed over the colorful silk thread used in embroidery to Zhao Meiren, and Zhao Meiren had already drawn the pattern according to Chu Luoyi's words, and began to embroider quietly.

Three days later, when Chu Luoyi was washing dishes in the imperial dining room, the eyes of the fish sitting next to her fell on her wrist and did not take it off for a long time.

After looking at it for a long time, the palace maid next to her pushed her and said, "Yu'er, what are you looking at?" Beware of the deputy boss coming to you for trouble. ”

Yu'er shook her head, looked at the palace maid beside her and said, "Ah, it's nothing, maybe the weather is too hot, a little sleepy, if you don't call me, I'm afraid I'm going to fall asleep." ”

The palace maid nodded and said, "Then you can help me brush ten more bowls to repay me, wash the dishes every day, my fingers will be stiff." ”

The fish smiled at her and said, "Okay." ”

After the fish should get down, he turned around and looked at the bracelet on Chu Luoyi's hand while washing the dishes.

She was originally a lady from an official family, but later her father was imprisoned, and the men were all sent to the frontier as slaves, and the women were all in the palace as maids.

Since she was a child, she still has a little eye for jade, the bright red jade bracelet she has never seen, but she can be sure that it is by no means ordinary, she remembers that when she attended the palace banquet with her father, she saw one in the hands of Princess Changning, but the jade bracelet was not as clear and bright as Chu Luoyi's hand.

It's just that Chu Luoyi is a rough maid, how can she have such a precious thing?

"If you want me to say, you are the life of the young lady's body maid, you said that you were born in a famous family, how did you become a rough palace maid, it is really pitiful, but if you want me to say, in fact, with your appearance, it is easy to get the favor of His Majesty, but why did you miss it so coincidentally." The maid on the side looked at the fish and sighed.

Yu'er smiled: "It's good to be able to wash dishes here, at least my father and brother are still pulling carts and building walls on the frontier to defend against foreign thieves." ”

Chu Luoyi raised her eyes and glanced at the fish, not unaware of her previous look, looking at the bracelet in her hand, she couldn't help but show a wry smile, that man would really make trouble for her!

Within a few days, Zhao Meiren's hundred peons were embroidered, and Chu Luoyi stood aside and looked at the huge peony picture, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Hundreds of peonies are clustered with each other, different sizes, some are delicate and blooming, some are waiting for buds, some are half-covered and half-covered, some are crowned with a group of fragrant, the colorful silk threads shuttle into a piece of brocade, insects and butterflies are flying, Ambilight, all in one go.

What surprised Chu Luoyi was that such a large embroidered picture Zhao Meiren could embroider it in just a few days, and it was so exquisitely embroidered, you know, the queen asked Concubine Rou to embroider a hundred peony pictures, but it was just a deliberate difficulty, and the baby was about to give birth, how could Concubine Rou embroider it?

It's just that there are really no absolutes in this world, and the picture of a hundred peons competing for beauty in front of him is really from the hands of Zhao Meiren, an arrogant and domineering woman.

"What do you think of this embroidery?" Zhao Meiren's eyes were red and swollen, but she said proudly.

"Niangniang's embroidery skills are unparalleled in the world." Chu Luoyi hung his head.

Zhao Meiren snorted coldly, and the tassels in her bun trembled: "Hmph, my mother is from the first embroidery workshop in the world, and my mother's ancestors have been the master of the palace embroiderer, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, although it is a little declining, but it is also excellent." ”

Chu Luoyi didn't answer, but continued to look at the picture of a hundred peons, until he found a delicate and bright pink flower among the layers of peonies, and then he was willing to withdraw his gaze.

Chu Luoyi took out the bead hairpin in his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Meidao: "This is imitated according to the previous golden hairpin." ”

Zhao Meiren looked at the golden hairpin in her hand, looked carefully at whether it was a peony or a peony, and then looked at Chu Luoyi suspiciously: "Where do you have so much silver as a palace maid, didn't you steal something from this palace?" ”

"The slave doesn't dare, this golden hairpin is not made of pure gold, but it is brushed with a layer of gold dust, so it is not precious."

Zhao Meiren disdainfully threw the golden hairpin on the dresser and said, and was about to speak, but she felt a pain in her head, shook her head, and was a little dizzy, and the whole person stumbled and did not stand firmly, and almost fainted.

Chu Luoyi hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Niangniang is unwell? ”

Zhao Meiren frowned, looked at Chu Luoyi and said, "Why do I feel a little dizzy, even looking at you is blurry." ”

"I think it's because my mother worked hard all night and didn't rest properly." Chu Luoyi said.

Zhao Meiren waved her away a little irritably, lay on the bed and closed her eyes, Chu Luoyi looked at Zhao Meiren who was lying on the bed with an extremely ugly face, helped her cover the quilt lightly, put down the curtains, turned around and stood in front of the picture of Baimu laid out on the table, and stared for a long time.

Three days later, the queen was about to give birth, but she had a big belly and feasted many concubines in the corner pavilion of the imperial garden. Zhao Meiren also handed over the picture of Baimu Zhengyan to Concubine Rou in advance, and Concubine Rou was very satisfied with this, and secretly rewarded Zhao Meiren with a lot of silver.

Zhao Meiren looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said repeatedly: "What's wrong with this makeup?" ”

"Niangniang is extremely beautiful, even if she doesn't dye fat powder, it is enough to crown the crowd." Chu Luoyi lowered his eyes and said.

"Will the emperor really come today? The emperor said last time that he promoted me to Zhaoyi, but now he forgot about me, which is really ruthless. Zhao Meiren said with some grief.

"I heard that the queen mother not only invited many concubines, but also invited your majesty, which can be described as a veritable family banquet, so the queen must take advantage of this opportunity." Chu Luoyi said.

"You still need to talk too much, how can this palace not know this truth? Just wait for this time to see the emperor, the emperor will definitely remember the matter of Jin Feng me, and when I get a favor in the future, I definitely want those people to look good! Zhao Meiren said fiercely.

Chu Luoyi stopped talking, and followed Zhao Meiren, who was dressed in full costume, to the corner pavilion of the imperial garden, but before she took a few steps, Zhao Meiren looked back at her and said, "You will go to the imperial dining room first, you don't have to go this time, bring a rough palace maid by your side, and you will be talked about by nothing." ”

"The slave obeys."

Watching Zhao Meiren walk away, Chu Luoyi's eyes flashed with coldness, opened the box on Zhao Meiren's dresser, and put the powder obtained from Beiliuyun under the many jujube red satin used to cushion the pearl hairpin, and then put the pearl hairpin back and put the box back in its place.

After leaving, Chu Luoyi did not return to the imperial dining room, but went to the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden from another path.

In the octagonal pavilion, the light yarn is swirling, and you can smell the fragrance of fat powder from afar.

The most important thing in the imperial garden is flowers and trees, Chu Luoyi easily hid his figure from a low tree, and watched the movement at the banquet from a distance.

The octagonal pavilion was opened in its entirety, and five or six pavilions were connected by a cloister, forming a polygonal shape, and in the middle of the open space was a neat lawn, in which dancers and musicians played music and danced, and the faint aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of fat powder, accompanied by the sluggish music, made people a little unrefreshed.

The emperor and the empress sit in the largest octagonal pavilion, and down in turn are the tables half a meter high, the dragon and phoenix cloud patterns are mixed with peony flower paintings, and several favored concubines and princes sit in turn, flowing and winding water, and have a pleasant feeling.

Many concubines dressed up in flowers, one by one, desperately trying to attract the emperor's attention.
