Under the window of the warm pavilion, there is a cherry wood carved kang, a bright yellow Wanfu shining satin mattress with a color of blue and gold border, and a white sandalwood carved gold silk cloud leg thin tooth table is set up in the kang, and some refreshments are placed on it, thinking that the emperor and queen are gossiping here. Because it was an ordinary seat, the queen simply wore a high bun, hairpins with small beaded cherry silk flowers pressed sideburns, and a few small tassel silver hairpins, and a purple begonia peony longevity pattern silk jacket on her body, which was baked by the heating of the earth dragon in the warm pavilion, and her face was slightly red. When the queen saw her and asked her to say goodbye, she asked Su Xin to bring a small pestle to let her sit down in front of her, and Fang raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Concubine Xian, I still called you over in the freezing rain, I really have something important to ask you." ”

The queen was about to speak, but the emperor slowly picked a peeled walnut meat and ate it, and said indifferently: "Last night's incident, you and Hai Chang are better, right?" ”

Ruyi's heart warmed, and she bowed and said: "The concubine is fine, but Hai Changzai is frightened, and with the injury on his foot, he has to be raised." ”

The emperor said: "Since you are in your palace, you should bother to take care of it." Tell her to be relieved, and not to think about what has passed. ”

Ruyi agreed, and the queen smiled modestly and said to the emperor: "It's deserted in the afternoon, if Mei agrees to play a pipa at this time, it will be leisurely." It's just that she refused to face the saint for five or six days. ”

The emperor's smile was very faint, but it was like the quiet dust in this pavilion, and it also had a warm breath: "She always said that the injury on her face was not good, and it was not suitable for her to face the saint, so she had to go." ”

The queen smiled and said: "That day, the concubine was a little more temperamental, but there was something wrong with Mei's promise, the emperor was worried about Mei's promise, but he didn't indulge her, and the concubine was very pleased." ”

The emperor's teacup was as green as a fine jasper, and he took a leisurely sip: "Although I didn't see it, I thought in my heart, it was like seeing it." ”

Ruyi only accompanied the emperor once after entering the palace, and she had not seen the holy driver for a long time, although she had the emperor's advice in her heart, she was inevitably a little lonely. That kind of loneliness is sung in a joyful and bright tune, but I know that in the next song is the separation of male and female love, and the separation of lovesickness and blind date; That kind of loneliness is the happiness of spending a good moon, and thinking of the bleakness of the waning moon like a hook; That kind of loneliness is a lonely shadow in the glorious lights and half of the prosperous world; But no matter how lonely it is, the taste is warm and cool, and after being cold for a while, there is always hope and hope, and that is a warm layer of thought. Until we met in a hurry last night, I thought that the emperor was protecting him, but his eyes did not fall on him a few times, and even if he did, it was like a pigeon flying far away in the sky, and it could not fall into the white clouds.

Her eyes suddenly fixed on the queen's clothes, so calm and gorgeous purple begonia color, lively embroidered peony bee butterfly pattern, embroidered with evergreen longevity piping, reflecting the brocade dress of plum green embroidered milky white Lingxiao flowers, it was so dull and out of place. And Ling Xiao is such a lonely flower.

Ruyi's throat was like a sour plum, she couldn't spit it out or swallow it, she had a reluctant smile on her face, and couldn't help asking: "Mei's promise to serve the emperor has not been long in coming, why does the emperor like her so much?" ”

The emperor's originally faint smile gradually became a little warmer: "It is precisely because she has not been with me for a long time, but she is happy with everything, like a person who has been with me for a long time, and thinks of everything, that I feel that she is intimate." ”

When Ruyi heard this, even if her heart was as sour as a very green plum, she could only lower her eyes.

The queen's smile was condensed at the corner of her lips, like a flower that would be thanked for a moment, and after a moment, she still let it open its flower bones: "Speaking of this, the concubine has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "The queen and me, what should you not say?" ”

The queen's smile froze slightly: "After lunch, Mei promised to come to the concubine and showed her face to the concubine, and the concubine didn't dare to make a decision for a while, so she had to bring her over to see the emperor." Mei promised to cry and cry, and now she doesn't dare to enter the palace, the concubine thought that Mei promised to be slapped that day Concubine Xian watched it with her own eyes, and sent her back to Yonghe Palace, so she urgently summoned Concubine Xian over. Please also ask the emperor to take a look at Mei's promised face. ”

The emperor was surprised: "Rui Ji is here? Where are the people? ”

The queen said gloomily: "People are waiting in the side hall, but they don't dare to come to see the emperor." The queen saw that the emperor's eyebrows gradually twisted, so she said, "Su Xin, you go and ask Mei to agree to come in, if you have any grievances, tell me yourself." ”

Su Xin went out for a while, and then accepted Mei to come in. Mei agreed to wear delicate clothes as usual, but there was an extra plain white scarf on her face, which was held by sideburns on both sides, covering most of her beautiful face like a clear water hibiscus.

With tears in her eyes, she saluted according to the rules, and the emperor stopped her before she finished saluting and said, "What's the matter?" Even if you receive two slaps, these days should be fine. ”

Mei promised to cry and said coquettishly: "Hengzhi is injured on the face of the concubine, the emperor has a lot of fun, and he feels very happy to be red and swollen." ”

Ruyi listened to her talking to the emperor like this, and suddenly remembered that when she first got married, she groomed herself in front of the rhombic mirror in the morning, and she also joked with the emperor like this, and said intimate words coquettishly, and there was no distinction between dignity and inferiority. At that age, it was really the most innocent and carefree time in life. It's just a snap of his fingers, and now, it's not easy to see the emperor, but he sees him getting close to the newcomer, just like to himself that day.

She thought about it, so she raised her eyes and looked at the queen, who just hung her face, like the Miaoyan Buddha statue enshrined in the temple, without joy or sorrow, and the treasure was solemn. Ruyi played with the gold silk snow bead pendant hanging from the placket, the bead texture was round and hard, and her palms ached. She felt more and more that the dizziness of the wind and cold had not dissipated on her face, and she had to press her temples to wake herself up.

Mei agreed to cry, so she ripped off the scarf on her face, and Ruyi glanced at it, almost startled. Mei's face was originally only red and swollen after being slapped, and the corners of her mouth were bloody, but at this moment, not only were they swollen into bruises and mottled pieces, but the damage at the corners of her mouth also festered, spreading to the dimples, and layers of snow-white dander appeared, like a layer of frost flowers, revealing bright red tender flesh underneath.

The emperor's face changed in shock: "Your face is ......" He didn't continue, he glanced at the queen, and the queen immediately said: "This appearance is definitely not caused by slapping, it must be caused by the wrong thing, or there is no taboo." ”
