On the fifth day of the first month of June, the Queen Mother left the palace to wait for the Buddha to worship in the courtyard, and Su Jinyan asked for a decree to accompany her.

Since I lived in Feiluan Pavilion with Jinyan due to the grounding, I have become a Mo Chongyi with this Su Chongyi, who is withdrawn in words and deeds, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Later, although she moved to Changchun Palace, she had to meet her every day, but now she went out of the palace with the Queen Mother, but she felt empty in her heart.

Long days of loneliness, Bao Yuan and because of the flood river defense can not often come to accompany me, think about it and suddenly remember that the Queen Mother in the past once said that I want to learn to take care of the prince, why not tell Bao Yuan to invite Jingyi to come and live with me.

First, she and I can take care of Fengyi and Xuanzhe together, secondly, we can also take into account the father-son relationship between Baoyuan and the children, and thirdly, I think that Li Yanniang is not fuel-efficient when she lives with Jingyi on weekdays, and Baoyuan often goes to see the children, which is cheaper for her to make a fuss.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind, and when Bao Yuan came over in the evening, he asked Jingyi and the children to come and live with me. At first, Bao Yuan had scruples, and he couldn't stand me being coquettish and cheating, so he had to nod his head and agree.

The next day, I took the palace people to Yingxian Palace to pick up Jingyi and the two children, and placed them in the side hall on the west side of the Changchun Palace, and since then there have been more children's laughter in the palace.

I and Jingyi are also more close, and Baoyuan has to come over every day, and in the end, I simply don't live in the Chongguang Palace, and only stay in my Changchun Palace.

On this day, I was sitting with Jingyi in the east side hall doing needlework, Baoyuan broke in in a hurry, and just entered the door and said happily: "Rui'er, you go with me to see, the newly planted red lotus in the Dragon Leap Pond is all open, I didn't expect it, this was planted that year, it was really a miracle......

He has never had the etiquette of the Son of Heaven in front of me, but Jingyi is not very comfortable after all, and he is busy getting up and saluting.

Bao Yuan waved his hand and smiled: "Jingyi, you also go to have a look...... Jingyi glanced at me with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine will not go, Fengyi should wake up from a nap in a while, if you don't see the concubine, I'm afraid I'm going to cry again, the emperor and Sister Rui'er will go together!" ”

I invited her again and again, but she still insisted on not going, so I had no choice but to go with Baoyuan. got on the painting boat that stopped at the Qushui corridor, looked at the sparkling water waves, leaned on the railing and sighed, "Alas, I don't know if Sister Jingyi really wants to live with me in her heart." ”

"You're guessing again." Bao Yuan hugged me from behind.

I turned to look at him, "Isn't it, you spoil me every day, and the inner prison is announcing in her ear every day, 'Light up the Changchun Palace, and Lady Hua Rui will sleep in the Chongguang Palace'." My sister is also a woman, can I not be jealous? ”

"Jingyi is not that kind of woman." Bao Yuan said, a warm smile on his lips.

"How do you know......" I was unconvinced.

"What does Rui'er mean to let me get closer to Jingyi in the future?" Bao Yuan smiled, and the thick eyebrows on the right side were crooked without good intentions.

"You're still laughing! It's all you who caused the trouble...... I poked his chest and whispered: "Rui'er's vinegar jar was given by you for nothing, I can now know why people say 'vinegar lady', Sheng Sheng was forced out by the merry man." Ah! It's annoying, stinky Meng Lang, it's all you, it's all you, it's always in a dilemma. ”

"Ouch" Bao Yuan pretended to be in pain, and called: "I can also understand why the ancients had a cloud that 'only women and villains are difficult to raise', but in fact, it seems that this is not the case now, it should be 'a woman who eats dry vinegar is a hundred times more difficult to raise than a small person' hahahaha, hahaha......

He smiled very happily, and I glanced at him and said, "Since I was a child, Rui'er only knew that mandarin ducks were paired in pairs...... Hum! ”

But I didn't want to, his burning lips invaded my aftertaste, lingering for a long time before I had to let go, his eyes were clear, and his slender index finger tapped my lips, "Then let me bear the other women!" ”

"Hey~!" When I heard this, I bowed my head, buried my head in his arms, and said slowly for a while:

Silver candle autumn light cold painting screen,

Light Luo small fan fluttering;

The moonlight is as cool as water,

Lie down and watch the morning glory Vega. ”①

"It should be beaten, where did the morning glory and weaver girl come from in the blue sky and daylight, now you and I are inseparable, but the scenery is so bad, the two of them are separated by the heavenly river, looking at each other with tears in their eyes, and I will not allow you to say such ominous words in the future." Bao Yuan covered my mouth with his hand, smiled and said angrily.

I hooked my lips and chuckled, looking at the lake where the wind and lotus pavilions stand, thinking of how many women in this deep palace, because of my exclusive favor, how many women want to be the weaver girl across the sky.

If he wants to be wet with rain and dew, I can't let go of my heart.

Let's go, this is the harem woman's resentment!

He turned me over, "Rui'er, what are you guessing again?" I don't want to think about other people's affairs, come and ......" He took me hand in hand to the bow of the boat and sat down, stood in the wind, and said with a smile: "Madame sit down and play a song "Lotus Language" for her husband now, and relieve the worries of the beautiful woman. ”

The song "Lotus Language", accompanied by the beautiful scenery in the wind of the red lotus coming out of the water in front of me, almost made me intoxicated.

After finishing the song, Bao Yuan took me into his arms and said, "I haven't heard Rui'er's singing for a long time, can I sing a song for me today?" ”

I smiled lightly and said nothing, "Meng Lang's "Lotus Language" is elegant and comfortable, but Rui'er has to be vulgar and afraid that it will not be able to enter the ears of the king." ”

"Who dares to say that my Rui'er's song is vulgar." He feigned anger and whispered, "Okay, let's sing a song...... If you don't want to ......" while speaking, he stretched out his hands to arm me, itching me coquettishly, and shouted for mercy, and when he stopped, I held my face and meditated for a moment, and lightly opened my lips:

The boat is fluttering, and the willows are swaying in the wind;

The lotus leaves are covered with green, and the lotus flowers are enchanting.

Sunset, microwaves, golden threads flashing across the river.

Left row, right support, the lotus boat raised the singing.

Hanlian is half-open, bees and butterflies are not allowed to come lightly,

The green water is mixed with each other, and it is clean and not stained with dust.

Between the streams, lotus picking, water droplets slide through the lotus.

The clap is tight, the clap is light, and the pulp responds to the singing.

The lotus heart is long, shy and deep under the water;

Don't you see the silkworm cocoon, the silk is more, and the chrysalis is in the center?

The head of the stream, picking lotus roots, the girl wants to pick and yiyu.

The waves are sinking, the waves are born, and the waves are singing loudly.

There are many lotus canopies, and willow trees on both sides of the river;

Magpies are noisy, and pomegranate blossoms are falling on Silla.

In the stream, the tent is picked, and the ears and temples are faintly red.

The wind is steady, the wind is born, and the wind is rippling with singing.

Rise the moon hook, understand the weaver girl morning glory;

The mist blows the water, and the cool breeze drifts away from the lotus boat.

The fragrance of flowers, the fragrance of clothes, dissolves into a vast expanse;

It's quiet, it's smelling, and there's singing in the void.

At this moment, I remember my childhood grandmother often put me to sleep in the summer "Lotus Picking Song", this song was originally made by the modern poet Zhu Xiang, I have always liked this song lingering feelings, and now I feel the scene, and I sing with more meditation and emotion.

After the song, Bao Yuan got up with a smile, stared at the lake with his hands and said, "Rui'er, do you know why I love you?" ”

"Huh?" I wondered from the bottom of my heart, he had never spoken to me so seriously as an emperor.

"Because only with you I will forget that I am an emperor, and I can only think of myself as a man." Bao Yuan said quietly, with a sparkle of water in his eyes, he looked back at me, "The identity of the emperor can meet all my needs for women, but it makes me gradually stop believing in the intentions of women when they face me...... Scold...... How can I tell you this. He smiled, and stood in the wind.

Looking at him, a lot of pity and understanding suddenly arose in my heart, and I got up and wrapped my arms around his waist and pressed my face against his back. I like it because I feel like I can protect him and support him.

People only see the supreme power and enjoyment of the emperor, but they often ignore that they are just mortals, people need warmth, and the happiness they pursue all their lives can only be afforded by love, and power and money cannot be given.

"Rui'er, you have to understand, I treat you differently......"

"yes, I know."

"So......" He turned around and hugged me, wanting to say something, I raised my hand to cover his lips, shook my head and smiled: "Meng Lang, don't say anything, I've heard it." ”

Bao Yuan held my hand, his eyes flashing, "What did you hear?" ”

"Two hearts and one heart, love is not doubtful." I spoke solemnly, and he hugged me tightly when he heard it.

Over his shoulder, my heart has never been so steady, he made me the heaviest promise that a man gives to a woman, and since then I can be at ease with this man, and my love has a home, which is good!

A few days later, in the early Baoyuan Dynasty, I was bored in the palace, and suddenly wanted to fold some new lotus to insert the bottle, and asked Jingyi that she was willing to go with her.

When she arrived at the painting boat, Ming'er laughed and said that there were many strange things in the palace. So I was puzzled and asked, she said: "Such a big ship travels to the lotus, and the bow of the boat has already pressed all the flowers, what else to pick?" ”

Thinking that what she said was reasonable, he instructed the inner supervisor to prepare a willow leaf boat. This boat can only accommodate three people at most, and Jingyi shook her head like a merchant drum when she saw it, "How can this boat sit, don't fall into the water." ”

I grew up near the water since I was a child, and I learned to swim, although I have crossed the soul, but I will not lose the skills I have learned, so I patted my chest against Jingyi and promised that if she fell into the water, she would definitely be rescued, but she was afraid of it and had to give up.

Because he suspected that the concubines' palace jewelry was cumbersome, he deliberately went back to the palace to change the outfit of the palace maid, and he had not been so light for a long time, and his mood became better and better.

Jingyi was accompanied by Zhiqiu and the two little palace maids and the inner supervisor of the boat, and Ming'er and I took a boat to pick lotus.

In the morning light, the water surface is foggy and hazy, and the lotus flowers in the thin smoke cage are more elegant, and the blue waves are ......

Ming'er thought that the inner supervisor who was holding the boat was clumsy, so she simply grabbed the pole and used it as a handlebar, but she didn't want the boat to listen to her and move forward honestly, but instead turned around on the spot...... Seeing her slightly sweaty cheeks and red face, I smiled and said, "Ming'er, according to your method, don't even think about folding flowers when it's dark." ”

Ming'er was unconvinced: "Sister, you wait and see, you won't!" ”

Seeing her child's delicate and unconvinced appearance, I was in a good mood and picked up the oars on my side to help, but I didn't want to help more and more, and the boat did not advance but retreated.

Just as the two of us were in a hurry, a light boat came, and when the boat passed by us, we only heard a woman laughing: "Who am I?" It turned out to be someone from the Changchun Palace, no wonder he was so stupid. ”

"Hey, who are you talking about?" Ming'er said angrily when she heard this.

"Hehehe, say who knows. As the saying goes, what kind of master there is, what kind of slave and what kind of slave and maid. "I looked around, and I saw a palace maid about seventeen or eighteen years old looking at us with slanted eyes.

"Yo, what should I call it, it turned out that the Ba'er dog in the Yingxian Palace ran out." Ming'er has always refused to suffer.

"Okay, Ji Ming'er, don't think that I'm afraid of you just because it's someone from Changchun Palace, everyone is just a palace person, because your master is the most favored, and the tail of Changchun Hall will go up to the sky." The palace maid was full of anger, raised her hand and stirred up a lot of water with her oars, and splashed it directly at me and Ming'er.

Although it was summer, the water of the lake splashed at once, and it still provoked me to fight coldly.
