The emperor smiled faintly: "How has she been sleeping all these years, you are my personal eunuch, you don't know anything about it?" ”

"The emperor doesn't allow the slaves to know, and the slaves don't know. The emperor Xu slave only knew, and the slave could only know in his heart, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense. Li Yu lined up the dim sum in his hand and said, "These eight treasure rose rolls are offered by Hui Guifei, the milky white jujube treasure is offered by the pure concubine, the white fruit chestnut pine is the craftsmanship of the Rose Concubine, the flower longan is made by the Jia Concubine Niangniang herself, and the peach blossom lily candied cold powder and mutton fat pineapple jelly are the offerings of Shu Gui and Shen Gui respectively." Which dish does the emperor want to try? ”

The emperor looked at him and said, "Aren't you cautious and don't like words?" Then I ask you, I think these things are sweet and greasy, what do you think is a good snack for me? ”

There is a cool breeze blowing into the empty and beautiful hall under the courtyard, bringing in the bitter aroma of chrysanthemums outside the hall. Li Yu's heart moved, and he said: "In the past, when Concubine Xian Niangniang was here, there was a chrysanthemum bergamot cake that I was good at. You can't make exactly the same food, but you can try it, and it's a seasonal delicacy. ”

Only then did the emperor smile a little: "You have been by my side for a long time, you are sensible." I ask you, I know that I am going to release Concubine Xian in the Sixth Palace, but what is the movement? ”

"If there is any movement, I don't dare to move to the emperor. The left is just talking about it and rumors. ”

The emperor pondered for a moment: "This is a rumor? Li Yu, I told you to clean up the Yikun Palace, but what's wrong? ”

Li Yu said: "Yikun Palace is juxtaposed with the Changchun Palace of the Queen's Mother, closely following the Emperor's Heart Cultivation Palace. Kun is the head of the female yin, Yi is the assistant, except for the Kunning Palace used by the queen's wedding, Yikun Palace is the most gorgeous and important place. The emperor ordered to clean up the Yikun Palace and give it to Concubine Xian to live in, and the servants didn't dare to be careless, and they all picked the best things. ”

The emperor bowed his head and said: "Yikun Palace is noble, I just want to give Ruyi this dignity, so as to make up for her grievances in the cold palace over the years." By the way, Ruyi has always picked things the most accurately, if you look at what the Internal Affairs Office has selected to arrange, you will make a list for me to see. ”

Li Yu looked at the emperor and took a sip of tea, bowed down and said: "The emperor cares about the concubine and the concubine, and he is thoughtful, and the slave is not enough." It's just that the emperor values Concubine Xian Niangniang so much, and he is bent on making up for her grievances, so why don't he promote her position and show his grace. ”

The emperor casually took a piece of snack and tasted it, and said, "Many things are not in position. Concubine Xian's family background is not prominent enough, and she is indeed inferior to Concubine Hui. As for the harem so much that Concubine Xian is out of the cold palace, you will make another will. On the day when Concubine Xian came out of the cold palace, the nobleman Yehenala was named a concubine. ”

Li Yu said: "Yes." The minions obeyed. The emperor raised his face and looked at the Shen nobleman kneeling outside the vermilion checkered window, in the cold autumn wind, her clothes were thin and fluttering. The emperor smiled faintly: "She likes to kneel, so let her kneel." ”

Hailan lay alone on the bed, the bed tent was embroidered with the pomegranate grape pattern of many sons and blessings, for the auspicious and good luck, specially used orange and deep vermilion silk around the silver thread embroidery, even the copper tent hook hanging on the purse is a pattern of harmony, looking at the joy of the ocean. Ye Xin came in with a decoction, and Hailan couldn't help but cover her nose and said, "It's a smell, it's really smoky." ”

Ye Xin saw that no one else was there, so he persuaded: "The little master should bear with it and drink it." This medicine is to remove the residual poison of cinnabar and mercury. Fortunately, the little master was not deeply poisoned, and the doctor instructed him to drink it for two more days. If the residual poison is not cleared and hurts the little prince in the womb, how can it be good? ”

Hailan sighed lightly, stroked her stomach and said, "I know, Zuo is just for my sister." ”

Ye Xin blew the medicine lightly and sighed: "The little master treats Concubine Xian Niangniang, it is really closer than a sister." ”

Hailan straightened her loose sideburns and said, "It's no safer in the cold palace than outside, it's the same death, I'm afraid I don't know how my sister died." In this palace, she is the only one who treats me well, and I really only treat my sister well. ”

Ye Xin handed the medicine to Hailan's lips, Hailan raised her head and drank it, frowning and said, "It's really bitter." ”

Ye Xin served her and rinsed her mouth, hurriedly took the sour plum and put it in her mouth, and said, "The little master is deflated by this." The little lord has the emperor's favor, and he is about to give birth to a prince, so what is there to worry about. ”

Hailan stroked the mandarin duck tassel hanging on the tent, and her expression was as light as a touch of ice: "Your Majesty? The emperor is a man, a man has three wives and four concubines, what is there to rely on? The child in my womb is just one of his children, what future can I have? I can only count on this child himself for everything, and what else can I count on the emperor? In the harem, the only thing that can be relied on is a sisterhood, which can be accompanied for decades. The others are all floating dreams, and forget about dreams. ”

Ye Xin saw that she was so discouraged and indifferent under her pampering, and she knew that it was not good to persuade her. Hailan thought for a moment and asked, "Have you cleared out all the remaining unclean things?" Don't leave a trace. ”

Ye Xin hurriedly said: "It's all cleaned up." The little master can rest assured. ”

Hailan looked at the dim glow outside reflected on the lattice of the window, and her expression was silent: "When my sister is by my side, I will really feel at ease." ”

The sky in the late autumn and early winter is easy to darken early, if it is a sunny day, there will be an excellent sunset exhibition, as if a good flowing xia brocade from the sky lurking down, shrimp red, royal blue, cloud blue, beige, poured a day and a place, Wu is splendid, fluent.

In the past, Ruyi didn't have such a good mood to appreciate Luoxia, but at this moment, she had and was willing. Firmly watching the sunset on the green tile glass, she can understand how flowery the place she is going to walk back to, just like this sunset, after the gorgeous, only endless darkness and desolation, for her to face alone.

Ling Yunche came in on the opportunity to deliver food. He was a little more respectful than before, and only after saluting did he say, "Congratulations to the little master, you can go out in the afternoon the next day." ”

Ruyi looked back at him and smiled: "Tongxi." You're finally less of me than a problem. She took the boots: "I am not good at craft, so I had to ask Xin Xin to sew a pair of boots for you." Only when your feet are not invaded by wind and frost can you go far and walk well. ”

Ling Yunche stroked the pair of ordinary boots, and somehow, he remembered Yinwan, who he hadn't seen for a long time. In the past, it was also Yinwan, only Yinwan would treat him like this and care about every bit of him. Now, I'm afraid that Yin Wan has already become a yellow warbler with tactful branches, flying higher and higher. It turned out to be Ruyi, and she took this to repay him.

He suppressed the ups and downs of his emotions and said angrily, "Thank you, little master." He looked at Ruyi's lips with a sweet smile: "The little master seems to be very happy." ”

"I'm looking forward to it today, so I'm happy. Tomorrow in the midst of it, you may find that what you are looking forward to is not as good as you expected, and you will not be as happy as you are today. ”

"Then the little lord still wants to go out?"

Ruyi Yanran smiled: "Stay here, separated by a wall like you, count how many inches the moss has grown today, has the moldy ash on the wall stained the clothes?" It's death to sit here, and it's death to go out, but I still want to fight and give it a try. ”

Ling Yunche listened to her gentle voice, but somehow, there was a sense of pride and ambition in his heart, he had been looked down upon coldly for so many years, and he couldn't get out of it for so many years, his mind was not the same as Ruyi. If you don't give it a try and give it a try, won't you live up to yourself and your life?

He held the boots in his hand, and his mind was settled in a flash. He sincerely requested: "If the little lord is willing, can you take me out of the cold palace and look for a future?" ”

Ruyi's simple thin clothes were slightly rolled up by the wind, and she narrowed her eyes slightly: "You want to leave here?" Why? ”

He raised his eyes and said calmly: "Like the little master, I am unwilling in my heart, and I have something in my heart. ”

Ruyi smiled indifferently, looked at the faint moonlight rising in the sky, and chanted Yiran: "The bamboo courtyard is a new sunny night, when the pine window is not sleeping. Gongqin is the wife, and the moon has an autumn period. The jade has been in the wind for a long time, and the golden wave is late in the fog. The quiet sound is waiting for the scenery to be clear, only I know it. Although this Bai Yi's "Serving the Moon on the Piano" fits the scene in front of you, it is not elegant enough without the sound of the piano. But I only like the sentence 'The quiet sound waits for the clear scene, only I know'. You have saved me many times, I have never been able to repay you, I wish you a good future, just thank you. ”

Ling Yun was so happy in his heart that he didn't know what to say for a while, but he just looked deep into it and smiled silently.

Ruyi looked at the bright moonlight in the courtyard, and she didn't feel smiling.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Yu brought the emperor's two little eunuchs, Jinzhong and Jinbao, to greet him, and the two aunts who served to dress and change clothes were old grandmothers who had accumulated years before the emperor, and their hands and feet were the most neat, and they could do things. According to the concubine position, Ruyi should have worn a golden dragon playing beads with a mink robe with colorful cloud patterns between the eight treasures of Shoushan Jiangya Lishui and Lilong, wearing a collar with gold ornaments, three plates of pearls hanging around her neck, and a crown on her head. Ruyi looked at the golden clothes and said with a smile: "This palace is going home, not a New Year's celebration." Why did the main palace leave here, and still have to shout happily to get out? ”

Li Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "What does Concubine Xian mean?" ”

Ruyi said with a smile: "This palace goes back to see her husband, why do you have to dress so grandly and brilliantly, so as not to make people laugh." It's just about wearing home-style clothes. ”

Li Yu understood, and immediately ordered someone to change into a new dress, and then retreated outside the door and let the grandmothers dress up Ruyi. The comb is a weeping cloud bun, the middle is flattened into a cloud fluffy, and the ends are slightly hanging to the ears, making it more and more full without losing the delicate posture of the little daughter. The jet-black cloud bun is pulled up, decorated with a jade ring and concentric seven treasure hairpins, the gold inlaid jade step shakes, the purple duck flower acacia is round, and the flying swallowtail falls with the mandarin duck lotus pattern golden butterfly white jade pressed hair, Lingling moves, there are fine gold and jade beads gently swaying, and the red coral hanging beads that are falling on the center of the eyebrows add more and more bright color to the cheeks.

Waiting for her to change into a real red Jinhua purple brocade robe, and pinning a red gold phoenix tassel to the neckline. The placket and cuffs are densely embroidered with a "golden and jade" pattern decorated with fine rice beads. One color of Jiuluan Feitian gold silk dark embroidered folded branch flower picture, reflecting the orchid flower decoration stretched at the corner of the skirt, with five gilt hollow silver buckles to trip the pipa Ruyi pattern button, and then with the bottom of the mandarin duck pleated phoenix skirt, silky satin folded in the sun, the mandarin duck dark pattern on the top, also with the light a little bit of transparency into a trace, almost want to spread its wings and fly. The grandmothers put on milky white triple Dongzhu earrings for her, and the gold armor on her tail finger was embedded with red coral beads like blood. Ruyi looks at herself in the mirror, and the whole person is like a bright first blooming rose in the new rain, scorching and dazzling.

When everything stopped, she squatted down and put on carmine satin embroidered bamboo butterfly pattern flower pot soles for her. On the carmine base, the nail is decorated with a pattern of 10,000 characters made of jade, and patterns such as bats and ribbons, harmonizing "Wandai Fushou"; The upper is embroidered with a variety of delicate bamboo butterfly patterns, inlaid with gold threads coiled into a curved water pattern bridging, which is extremely delicate. Li Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand respectfully, Ruyi took Li Yu's hand and stood up, knowing that he was going to wear these shoes, and walked to the place where he came step by step.
