After the spring equinox, good news came from Lingfu, and Xinning gave birth to Lin'er. Unconsciously, I have been promoted to an aunt, and I went to ask Bao Yuan to go out of the palace to visit, but Bao Yuan said that the baby is not yet a week old, and it is not suitable for outsiders to visit. begged again and again, but he never allowed it, and he was unwilling but had to give up.

Now that I have reached the age of eighteen, I am a few years older than my new concubines, and I am the assistant harem, so I have to deal with palace affairs every day with my identity, and I am trapped in these many chores for a long time, which makes me tired and tired.

Recently, more than ten little palace maids have been dialed from the Changchun Palace, and at this moment, Ming'er is leading the palace ladies to be busy serving inside and out, listening to those thirteen or fourteen-year-old children calling her aunt, I can't help but laugh on the side. Seeing me laughing at her, Ming'er pretended to sigh with emotion, sighing that the years were like water, and I also sighed that the red face was fleeting, only to learn that Qiu frequently held back her laughter, saying that the two of us would not go out to move again, I was afraid that I would be sick.

While I was laughing and laughing, the Shangyi Bureau sent a new Uighur horse suit according to Bao Yuan's instructions, and I was happy in my heart, and after trying on the clothes, I suddenly remembered that there was a polo field in the palace, and today the atmosphere is getting better and better, so it is better to follow those noble men to form a women's polo team, so as to move your muscles. The idea was set, and he didn't know that Qiu was opposed, so he took Ming'er and a few agile girls in the Changchun Hall to the racecourse.

In the past two years, I have ridden a horse with Baoyuan, and the riding skills are not bad, but now these palace ladies have never ridden a horse, and now everyone is shocked and afraid when they see the horses. I coerced and lured me on the side, and I got on the horse, but I didn't want the horse to start and go, so she was so frightened that she cried out for help, and in a panic threw off the reins and took the saddle. Seeing her pitiful and lovely appearance, I raised my voice on horseback and said:

The palace maid in front of the palace always has a slender waist, and she is timid and delicate when she is a beginner.

I only want to go when I get on the horse, and I throw the saddle bridge a few times.

Ming'er's little face was pale with fright at the moment, how could she care about me laughing at her, only looking back at me, her face was full of pleading for mercy, I was about to open my mouth to tease her, but I heard a warbler cry behind me: "Niangniang, what a good poet." ”

Turning around and looking down, the woman in a tender yellow palace shirt bowed her head and knelt on the ground.

"You ......"

"Tranquility, Shen Yuefu, see Mrs. Blossom." The voice is tactful and soft, but it is shocking.

Oh, it turned out to be her, I smiled and said, "Sister, get up!" How did you end up here? ”

Shen Yuefu got up and replied: "Yuefu made a mistake, and Zhaorong Niangniang punished Yu Xinzhuang for thinking about it." ”

"Oh, this palace also heard about this, I don't know why my sister collided with Sister Zhaorong?" It just so happens that today I will personally ask the person concerned to solve this mystery in my heart.

"Mrs. Huiyu, she was just entering the palace for the first time in Yuefu and didn't understand etiquette, so she collided with Zhaorong Niangniang, and Niangniang was only slightly punished." Shen Yuefu was respectful.

"Oh, I see, Sister Zhaorong has always been lenient and rarely punishes palace people, so this palace has this question today, even if my sister doesn't want to mention it again, it is inconvenient for me to be strong." I don't like people to talk and avoid the important, but she replied like this, but it seems that I am suspected of being a good thing.

"Mrs. Xie cares, even if the events of the day do not make Zhaorong Niangniang punish Yuefu, Ran Yuefu always believes that those who are women should 'reincarnate the ceremony', and should not worry about honor and disgrace, so as to make the harem peaceful, and the emperor, the queen mother and Niangniang will be less troubled." She spoke eloquently, always with a smile on her face, and suddenly I had a little more affection for the well-behaved girl in front of me, if all the women in this palace were as sensible and lovable as her, how good would it be, but......

"Yuefu is so well aware of righteousness, in two days, this palace will definitely help you leave Xinzhuang as soon as possible." With that, I raised my horsewhip lightly, and galloped my "little white dragon" through the grass path.

Facing the catkins in the sky, passing the peony bushes, and returning to the front of the palace. Looking back at the horse training ground, Ming'er and Zhonggong'e were still competing with the horses there, and they were immediately refreshed and happy.

I was turning over and dismounting, but I didn't want Shen Yuefu to trot over with her skirt to help me. I took her hand and stood firmly, but I heard her say sincerely: "Madame is dressed in a military uniform, strong and graceful, compared to Mulan who is in the army." ”

Hearing her say this, she was in a good mood, so she invited her: "I am planning to form a polo team, if my sister is interested, I will practice equestrianism and join together." ”

She smiled and said slightly: "Mrs. Xie is very loving, Yuefu is not good at activities, I am afraid of dragging Mrs. back."

"You are also a concubine with a sealed position now, and you are not in front of the emperor, you just need to call me 'sister'." Seeing that she was restrained, she was a little uncomfortable.

Yuefu said happily: "Thank you sister for your care." Then I saw her embarrassed face and said: "Yuefu has the heart to follow her sister, but she is still thinking about it now......" I smiled when I heard this, and said proudly: "Sister, go back to Xinzhuang to clean up now, and when I return to the emperor, I will send someone to pick you up." ”

When Shen Yuefu heard this, her face was happy, she nodded yes obediently, and thanked me again, but I was embarrassed.

I then asked Bao Yuan for his will, and Yuefu returned to Yingxian Palace from Xinzhuang.

Originally, Yingxian Palace was Jingyi living with Li Yanniang and Liu Huilan, and Jingyi was the head of the first palace. Since Jingyi moved to my Changchun Hall to live, Li Yanniang has become the main seat of Yingxian Palace. Therefore, when the new concubines were divided into palaces, Shen Yuefu and Zhang Xianru were placed in the Yingxian Palace. An Chenju Keer lived in Feiluan Pavilion with Jinyan, Liu Huilan moved from Yingxian Palace to live in Fanglin Courtyard, and the rest of the newcomers still lived in the Baizi Building of the day's draft.

Yuefu has returned to the Yingxian Palace, and will come to the Changchun Hall every day to greet me.

I liked her to be well-behaved and sensible, so I asked her to invite a few sisters to form a polo team with me. I don't want Yuefu to look cowardly, but the work is very safe, and the people of the women's polo team have been picked up in a few days, and I took everyone to Dongyuan all day to practice horses, and practiced on the polo field, and the days are more and more comfortable.

In her spare days, Yuefu will bring some embroidery to my palace to mingle with Ming'er, Jingyi is always faint every time she bumps into each other, but Yuefu doesn't care, and she becomes more and more respectful.

I saw in my eyes, I felt more and more pity for this girl for some reason, plus she was good at female red, and she was clever, and after a while, she embroidered many chic belts and hair for the women's polo team. As the days went by, I treated her more and more differently.

Occasionally, when I stroked the piano, Yuefu would sing some lyrics and songs on the side, and the singing voice was clearer and clearer. It's just that every time Bao Yuan comes, she will timidly step aside, silently embroider her juanpa, if Bao Yuan asks, she only asks and answers, which leads to Bao Yuan privately joking and saying that the people I help him keep are all wooden beauties.

In the afternoon of this day, Yuefu came to Ming'er with a new needle embroidery pattern, and when she saw me serving the peony, she came to say hello.

"Sister, aren't you good at playing?" Yuefu asked me casually while fiddling with the tricks.

"How did my sister remember to say this?" I was a little surprised when I heard this.

"I heard by chance that Zhang Baoxiang has often played against the emperor in the Yingxian Palace recently."

I was shocked when I heard this, and asked, "Zhang Baoxiang?" But that Zhang Xianru, the daughter of the Chinese scholar? ”

"Exactly!"

She ...... Are you very good at chess? ”

"I don't know this Yuefu, but I heard Xiu Yuan Niangniang talk about it by chance, and there seems to be dissatisfaction in her words......" Shen Yuefu was careful when she spoke, and looked at me with big eyes very uneasy.

Oh, Li Yanniang is dissatisfied, so ...... Just as I was about to ask a detailed question, I suddenly saw Yuefu's eyes looking behind me, and then pursed her lips and lowered her head with an uneasy expression. I didn't know how to look behind me, only to see Liang Shouzhen was bowing his head and tiptoeing towards the outside of the hall, I turned around, frightened him to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Niang Niang Wan'an!" Slave...... Slave ...... Slave Liang Shouzhen see Lady Blossom. With that, his hand unconsciously tugged into his arms.

Seeing this, I frowned slightly, Xiao Liang was not afraid of me, why did he seem to have seen a ghost today? "Get up, what are you doing sneaking around?" I said coldly.

"Back to the mother's words, the little one is ordered to get something."

"What to take?"

"Take ......" Liang Shouzhen lay on the ground, and sweat was faintly visible on his forehead.

"Tell the truth."

"The Holy One ordered me to fetch the jade flute."

"My father-in-law was ordered to take the emperor's jade flute, why did he secretly come to get it behind his mother's back?" Yuefu tilted her head and asked.

"Niangniang Mingjian, Niangniang Mingjian! The little one is bold and bold, and he doesn't dare to take the things in the Changchun Palace. Liang Shouzhen said urgently.

"Then you tell the palace honestly, what is the use of the emperor wanting the jade flute? If there is a half-truth......"

"Niangniang Mingjian, it is the emperor who wants to play for Baoxiang Niangniang, and orders the slave to fetch it, the slave is really afraid of Niangniang......" Xiao Liang looked at me with a look of grievance.

What the? Bao Yuan wants to play for Zhang Xianru. When I heard this, I was stunned on the spot, and my mind was turning...... The song "Partridge" of Qingyue is especially in my ears, but now I am going to change my bosom friend?

"Father-in-law Liang, this is a strange thing, since I entered the palace, the emperor has always only played in the Changchun Palace, why did the emperor suddenly want to play the flute for Zhang Baoxiang today?" Yuefu asked.

When Liang Shouzhen heard this, his brows tightened, he raised his head and stared at Yuefu, but Yuefu was so frightened that he took two steps back, I stretched out my hand to help Yuefu, and anger appeared on my face: "Liang Shouzhen, you are now more and more able to serve, and you dare to ask the concubine to ask like this......"

"Minions don't dare, minions don't dare." Liang Shouzhen kowtowed like pounding garlic, "The emperor played against Baoxiang Niangniang and lost a game." According to the appointment, I want to play a song for Bao Xiang Niangniang. ”

I pondered for a moment when I heard this, and said, "Give me the emperor's jade flute." ”

"Niangniang spares her life, if the slave can't recover his life, I'm afraid he will be punished. Niangniang cherishes the slaves the most in the day, and this time I also ask Niangniang to raise her noble hand. Liang Shouzhen's face was like earth, and he was sweating profusely.

"Give it to me." I was so calm, and the corners of my mouth barely pulled out a weak smile, "This palace will send it myself now." Between the words, I only felt that my breath was blocked in my chest, and I got into the car in a trance.

"Where is this going?" I saw that the cart was not heading towards Yingxian Palace, but along the willow shade in the direction of the imperial study.

"Back to Niangniang, on the way back to Chongguang Hall from the imperial study, the emperor met two Baoxiang Niangniang playing under the wisteria trellis."

"Two Bao Xiang Niang?"

"It's the sentence Baoxiang...... "It turned out to be Zhang Xianru and Ju Keer, so why Baoyuan?"

I see, this immortal is like a target. There is no reason not to look at a chess addict like my brother when he encounters a chess game. I also know that I am not good at chess. Hehe, it's really thanks to her good intentions and a lot of thought to plan this matter. This palace is really complicated and unpredictable. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my heart was blocked, so I called Xiao Zhenzi to stop the car and walk along the willow shade by herself.

Wisteria flowers, silent chess. When Ju Ke'er and a few palace ladies saw that I was about to open my mouth, I made a gesture, and they had to be silent. Zhang Xianru held her cheeks with her hands, her eyebrows frowned lightly, thinking that this game was blocked. Bao Yuan held the sunspot in his hand and concentrated on winning, without distractions. I saw that on the nineteen-way chessboard, the sunspot had a slight advantage, and after a few more drops, the white son pulled back a few more eyes. The chess game gradually entered the final stage from the mid-game battle. When the final goal was over, Bai Zi won a small victory. Bao Yuan clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay! Zhang Zhaorong's attainments are really good, and he actually won two games in a row today. ”

"If it weren't for the emperor's concession, how could the concubines have the opportunity to listen to the holy song today." Zhang Xianru retreated and said humbly.

Xiao Zhenzi had already moved to Bao Yuan's side, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, she ......"

I have already spoken out and said: "Qingshan is not tired of three glasses of wine, and only one game of chess is eliminated in a long day (1)." The emperor and his sister are so interested! ”

"Rui'er~?!" Bao Yuan smiled and got up to carry me.

"See Lady Blossom." Zhang Xianru and Ju Keer also leaned over to pay respects.

"I watched the emperor play chess with his sister, and my sister was thoughtful, and she can be called a skilled chess player among women. It's no wonder that a chess addict like Brother Baoyuan has to be more interested in his sister's blue eyes. ”

Bao Yuan stretched out his hand and nodded at the tip of my nose and said: "Playing chess with Rui'er often encounters regret chess, and Xiao Lai Pi is one." ”

"Ha, my brother is making fun of me again in front of everyone." I chuckled and deliberately accentuated the word "brother" and said coquettishly.

Zhang Xianru's face changed slightly, and she said with a slight smile: "The emperor just promised the concubine, if you lose this game again, you will stay in Yanchang Palace tonight to have dinner with Xianru and learn chess skills." ”

Is that the difference between winning and losing? The fire of jealousy in my heart instantly burned all over my body, and it condensed Bao Yuan.

"Oh? I forgot about it. Bao Yuan's words were clean.

The fire of jealousy has burned my reason, and I am unwilling: "Before my sister entered the palace, I heard that there was a folk game called Wuzilian. The chessboard is seventeen vertically and horizontally, which is very similar to Go, except that there are no rules, as long as the five sons and one line are connected, it is considered to be a win. It's rare to meet my sister on a long day.,It's better to hit the day than to choose a day.,It's better to make this game on this board today.,What does my sister think? ”

"Wuzilian, this game has also been played in the boudoir, but compared with Go, it is too shallow and rarely played. Today, if my sister is interested, that sister should accompany her. Xianru replied with a lukewarm smile.

Bao Yuan was happy to watch the excitement on the sidelines, and let me sit down with a smile and hold the sunspot.

As soon as the chess game opened, Zhang Xianru pressed forward step by step, and I connected the four sons into a gossip formation, intending to block the opponent's offensive. A fierce battle unfolds on this chessboard, and the dark tide is surging. I took the chess piece and said with a smile: "Yi has Tai Chi, it is to give birth to two instruments." Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. Sister, don't underestimate these five sons. She dropped the chess pieces and besieged again, and replied to me: "The attacker does not destroy his land, but takes it as his own, and only then is the best plan." But it's a pun, and it's very annoying.

"Haha, haha, interesting, interesting." Bao Yuan clapped his hands on the side.

That game ended in a draw. Both of them are young and vigorous, and they are not convinced. Leaving Bao Yuan behind, he will definitely decide the winner and kill the sky. Bao Yuan was also interested, and the three of them took turns fighting, and finally moved the Chongguang Hall to fight again and again. The two games that Bao Yuan lost were also disturbed by these five sons, and it was over.

That night was so enjoyable, and I was secretly proud when I returned to the palace afterwards. Fu thought that the future would be long, Bao Yuan was not my husband after all, and blindly blocking others was not the way after all, so I felt sorry for myself.
