The layout of the Changchun Palace is elegant and pleasant, without any extravagance, and it is more simple than the palace of the young concubines. In such a rainy season, it is a little bleak in the darkness. Fortunately, the queen likes the new flowers. Under the porch, there are newly bloomed flowers and plants, which are purple and red, adding a lot of bright colors.

Ruyi took her hand and entered the instrument door, turned around and instructed the nurse: "Be careful to hold the fifth elder brother and take the steps carefully." Yuyan was standing under the verandah to enjoy the rain, and when she saw Ruyi, she smiled: "Although she is not her own brother, Concubine Xian loves her very much." ’’

Ruyi saw that it was Yuyan, so she saluted her. Yuyan's eyes only looked away, and her slender fingers played with a pot of jade white peony flowers, and she received a salute from Ruyi with a smile. Ruyi knew her temperament, and she didn't want to care, but she said lightly: "Yes." Concubine Jia has her own fourth elder brother, so she is naturally even more distressed. ”

Yuyan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiled, her eyebrows were purified, and she opened her red lips slightly and said: "My own child, although I am also distressed, but I have to be strict, in the end, it is the prince, it is not good to be too pampered." It's not like Sister Xian Fei herself has never given birth to a child, and she loves her so much that she doesn't know how to love it, and there are some of them. ”

The thorns in the words were obvious, Ruyi didn't pay attention to them, and only asked the lotus heart standing outside the curtain: "What about the queen mother?" ”

Lianxin smiled and groaned: "The queen mother is talking to the princess." Concubine Xian Niangniang, please. After that, he lifted the curtain and invited Ruyi in.

The queen's palace is wide and bright, because the queen does not like luxury, the palace is just a few pieces of gold teak family goods in a staggered manner, and the one-color lake blue silver gauze tent is pulled up with a silver hook, which is refreshing and transparent. The queen was talking to Princess Hejing, and when she saw Ruyi coming in, she stopped and smiled: "It's raining outside, why is Concubine Xian here?"

As soon as Yi raised her face, the nurses hugged Yongqi and saluted, and said, "Yongqi greets the emperor's mother." ”

The queen hurriedly said kindly: "Hold on to it, be careful of falling." She took the nurse's hand and looked at Yongqi, and said with a smile: "Yongqi is really white and cute, it seems that Concubine Xian is very well raised." He added, "Jing Se, take a look at your fifth brother." ”

He Jing glanced at it and said coldly: "It's very white and cute, but the children raised by the concubines are raised by the concubines, and no matter how they are raised, they are not as handsome and smart as Prince Duanhui." ”

The Duanhui prince mentioned by He Jing is the second brother Yonglian of her mother's sibling. It's a pity that Yonglian died early, no wonder she didn't like any prince when she saw it.

When the queen heard this, she was a little displeased, and said with a sinking face: "Jing Se, you are a little tired, let Mama take it down." ”

Ruyi looked at it and respected, and said with a modest smile: "The concubine herself has not given birth, Yongqi is strong, firstly, she is well raised in the womb of Concubine Yu, and she is blessed by the emperor and the queen's mother." ”

The queen leaned back, revealing a snow-white wrist, and the color of the condensed snow reflected a pair of gilded phoenix mouth bead bracelets, which were a little dull and dull. "Speaking of it, it is also Yu Concubine herself, she has a good appetite when she is pregnant, but she suffers a lot when she gives birth. Fortunately, everything went well with Yongqi, otherwise how could it be good? By the way, Concubine Xian, have you been to see Concubine Yu, is she better? ”

Ruyi was about to answer, when she caught a glimpse of Yuyan walking in, remembering that Sanbao had said that the imperial doctor who induced labor for Hailan had seen Zhenshu next to Yuyan in private, and simply smiled: "It's better." It's just that the doctor said that Concubine Yu hurt her body too much when she gave birth to Yongqi, and she had to recuperate for a few years. However, at that time, it was the Tai Doctor who said that it was okay for Yu Concubine to induce labor, and now it is the Tai Doctor who has an accident and allows her to recuperate. The mouth of this imperial doctor is said to be on his body, but when he opens and closes, anyone can make him say something. ”

Yuyan glanced at the queen, her face sank slightly, and she pulled a string of red peach jade beaded tassels on her sideburns and lightly struck each other, making a silent sound. She chuckled and said, "Sister Xian said this, she just didn't believe in the imperial doctor." Also, I also heard about inducing labor for Concubine Yu, but this birth is a ghost door closed and walked around, how can there be anything to ensure the induction of labor. It's a pity for those doctors, if they don't induce labor, I'm afraid that Concubine Yu's mother and son won't be able to keep it, and if they induce labor, they will hurt Concubine Yu's body and still be driven out of the palace. In fact, it's also to blame Concubine Yu herself, she can't control her mouth when she is pregnant, and of course she will hurt her body when she gives birth. ”

Ruyi saw Yuyan commenting on Hailan like this, and she was already angry in her heart, but the smile on her face became more and more warm: "It's strange to say." Concubine Yu is not a greedy person, why did she care about the past and the future as soon as she was pregnant. I heard that Concubine Jia's appetite could be restrained when she was pregnant with Yongji, but it was different from Concubine Yu. ”

Yuyan Yuanshan Zangdai's eyebrows raised proudly, a pair of smiles seemed to be happy, and she covered her mouth and chuckled: "This is the fate of the same people!" ”

The queen glanced at her with a little disgust, and her words were as soft as a gentle rain: "Giving birth to a child is a dangerous matter, and the imperial doctor and the midwife can only help each other, after all, it depends on the mother's own." Fortunately, Concubine Yu's mother and son can be safe, and nothing else. She looked at Ruyi Hao's wrist three inches, and said, "Today, I put on the red gold lotus bracelet that the palace rewarded you with back then." Seeing you wearing it, this palace thinks of Hui Guifei even more, she is so sick like this, it is really pitiful. ”

"This string of jade beads wrapped around the red golden lotus bracelet is a reward from the queen's mother, a few days ago it was just loose to twist it, the concubine likes it tightly, how can she not wear it. However, the queen is blindly thrifty, and the gilt bracelet on her hand is a little dark, and she should also fry it to get a good color. Ruyi's face was as calm as water, and there was no ripple, but she only made a slightly regretful look, "As for Concubine Hui, as Concubine Jia said, this is all fate." ’’

The three of them were talking babblingly, only to see Lianxin lead Yinwan in and say, "Queen Mother, Huafang ordered someone to send a pot of peony flowers." ”

Yinwan put down the flower and stepped aside to stand respectfully. The queen's eyes only fell on the colorful color of the peony, and she praised the two: "It's a rare Yao Huang." ”

The huge flower disc is as lazy as a spring sleeping beauty, and the overlapping petals are as thin as light silk, one petal after another, and the magnificent posture is in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is rippling, and the skirt is swaying silently.

Yuyan saw that the queen liked it, and said with a smile: "The concubine only thinks the color is good-looking, but she doesn't know what Yao Huang is?" ”

The queen sat on the sandalwood Qingfeng peony chair and said slowly: "Yao Huang and Wei Zi are the best two products of Luoyang peony, known as the 'Superb King of Ten Thousand Flowers'. The weather in the north is cold, and it is rare to be able to grow Yao Huang at this time. ”

Yuyan was looking at it, and suddenly pointed to Ruyi's clothes and said: "Ouch, I didn't look carefully, it turns out that Sister Xian's cuffs are embroidered with pale yellow flowers, and it looks like this Yao Huang peony." ”

The arc of Ruyi's lips outlined a disdainful chuckle, and after a slight glance, she realized that it was similar, so she got up and said: "The concubine's clothes were just sent by the Internal Affairs Office yesterday, and the concubine looked at the light green clothes with pine yellow flowers, and the color was also chic, so she put it on, and didn't pay attention to whether it was the pattern of Yao Huang peony." ”

The corners of Yuyan's eyes flew, and the smiling lip line brought out two pear vortices: "Really?" I think Concubine Xian is also unintentional, but unintentional is also an unintentional loss, and the peony is only worthy of the queen's mother. It's better for Concubine Xian to confess, go back and cut her clothes and never wear them again, I think the queen won't mind. ”

"Of course the queen lady won't mind. Because the king of flowers, the lord of the harem, is just in the hearts of the people. Ruyi maintained a special impeccable courtesy, and curtsied her knees, "After the concubine returns, she will take off this dress and send it to the queen's palace, and everything will be handled by the queen." ”

The queen's smile was ethereal, she just glanced at Ruyi deeply, and turned her head to look at Yao Huang who was blooming on her side: "That's it, you kneel down." ”

Ruyi's expression was solemn and she retreated silently, but the stubbornness in her eyes never refused to retreat.

The queen saw Ruyi go out, and her dignified face slowly sank, like a dark lead cloud in rainy weather, layered down. After a while, the queen said coldly: "Come on, remove this pot of flowers and take it to the fire to burn." ”

Hearing that the queen's tone was not good, Yin Wan hurriedly stepped forward, hung her head and tiptoed out with flowers.

Yuyan looked at the queen's expression carefully, and said indignantly: "This pot of Yao Huangmei is beautiful, but it is not timely and too dazzling. Such a dazzling thing, noisy, is not worthy of being kept in the queen's palace. ”

The queen held her head, and the armor of the enamel inlaid with agate beads lay across the slightly wrinkled beautiful eyebrows, which slightly covered a trace of anger in the center of her eyebrows. The queen stared for a moment, and said with a chill: "Concubine Xian......"

Before the words fell, she only heard a "bang" in front of the palace door, and the queen was startled, and immediately frowned and raised her head.

Su Xin shouted: "Bold! Do you dare to be so disturbed in front of your mother, and you are impatient? ”

Yinwan was so frightened that she bowed her head and kowtowed, and said in a crying voice: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the slave maid is not hearted." ”

The queen stared at it and realized that it was the palace maid who had just gone out with a peony, and when she left the palace, she tripped over the threshold and accidentally smashed the flower in her hand.

Seeing that the queen was displeased, Su Xin went up and grabbed Yanwan's collar, forced her to raise her head, and split her face with two slaps: "The queen mother and the little master of Concubine Jia are here, you dare to be so presumptuous!" What is the place when Changchun Palace? ”

Yan Wan cried and argued: "My aunt forgives her sins, but the slave maid was careless, disturbed the two mothers, and made the wrong rules." The slave didn't dare anymore, and asked her aunt for forgiveness. ”

Yuyan snorted lightly, and leisurely stroked a red Zhulan on her sideburns: "Are those two white hands dangling from your cuffs?" Why is it not as good as a claw? I can't hold a pot of flowers steadily, and it's not a pity to chop it with my claws. The concubine knew that the palace maid serving in the flower room was cheap, but she was still a clumsy stupid girl. Speaking of which. After all, the rules were not established, so those frivolous servants did not go up or down to dislike people. ”

Su Xin immediately said: "Don't be angry, little master Jia, the slaves will set rules for the slaves." She raised her voice slightly, Xiao Shunzi, dragged this girl down, and slapped her mouth heavily. Look who dares not to serve carefully in front of the mother! ”

The little eunuch outside the hall simply agreed, and stepped forward to drag the palace maid.

The queen's long eyelashes were like the wings of a jackdaw, and two dark cyan shadows were dyed under her eyes: "Slow! Su Xin, bring her to the main palace. ”

Su Xin didn't know why, but he dragged Yanwan to the queen very quickly. Yu Wan trembled with fright, and the queen said casually: "Raise your head."

Yin Wan was shocked, shrunk and raised her head, there were still two sparkling drops of water on her cheeks. The queen stared for a moment, and slowly floated two smiles: "Concubine Jia, take a closer look, who are her eyes and chin like?" ”

Yuyan looked at it carefully, and instantly showed an expression of disgust, and said disdainfully: "Cheap maid, she looks like a fox, she should be beaten to death!" ”

Yin Wan was so frightened that she didn't even dare to speak, she only leaned down and kowtowed.

The queen smiled and bowed, gently cupping her face with her armor. The tip of the armor shone with a sharp luster brushing over Yan Wanjiao's beautiful face, and the queen said softly: "Such a beautiful face, it would be a pity to kill her!" ”

Yuyan sneered disdainfully: "It's annoying enough to have such a face in the palace, although this maid doesn't look exactly the same, but it looks like three or four points." Wouldn't it be annoying for Niangniang to keep this maid in Changchun Palace? ”

The queen looked at Yin Wan gently: "What's your name?" What does the family do? ”

There were red fingerprints floating on Yinwan's snow-white cheeks, her eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and even her voice trembled and intermittently: "Slave Wei Yanwan, Ama used to be the leader of the Yellow Banner Han Army Banner Inner Tube Leader Qingtai."

The queen bowed slightly: "It's still the daughter of a good family." Is the family still there?"

Yin Wan sobbed and shook her head: "Ama committed an accident and is no longer there." ”

Yuyan looked at Yinwan dissatisfiedly: "No matter how good a person is, he is just a fox slave, and even his name is so demonic, not to mention that he is still a broken family now." ”

The queen groaned in a piece. A flash of brightness flashed in his eyes: "This name is a little family, this palace will change your name." She muttered, "Qing Sakura, Qing Sakura......"

Yuyan squinted with a pair of phoenix eyes, full of ridicule: "With Concubine Xian, she looks like a fox, let's call it Sakura, Sakura's Sakura." ”

The queen's complexion was jade, and she smiled at the moment, adding to her beauty: "It's still Concubine Jia's intelligence and knowledge." Su Xin, you take Ying'er down to freshen up, and then send it to Concubine Jia's palace to serve. ”

Yin Wan raised her head in shock: "Slave, slave, slave ......"

The queen said in a harmonious voice, "Alright, Sakura." No matter what mistakes you make, this palace has given you to Concubine Jia. After that, he said to Yuyan, "My sister Bingxue is smart, so she naturally knows how to train a girl well." ”

Su Xin understood, pursed his lips and smiled gloatingly: "You are blessed, don't thank the emperor for her grace." ”

Yin Wan knew that it was not good, but she had to kowtow respectfully and follow Su Xin.

Seeing this, Yuyan couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Why should the queen be so good to this cheap maid, and the concubine doesn't want her to be in front of her, she will be angry when she sees it......" The queen turned her face and looked at her silently with a smile, Yuyan suddenly realized, "Sakura Sakura, so it ......" She looked happy, "It's still the mother's wisdom, there is such a person, and the concubine is arrogant, and she should be killed if she doesn't want to die!" ”

The queen smiled slightly: "So, this palace gave you Sakura, are you happy?" ”

Yuyan gave a salute happily, like a butterfly that almost wanted to pounce on the flowers, blinked, and the smile was almost dripping: "Concubine Xie Empress Niangniang's grace, she will live up to her kindness." ”

The queen was relaxed and said with a smile: "Concubine Hui is frivolous and impatient, timid and small, and she is even more unlucky and childless." You're so much better blessed than she is. This palace likes you, likes Yonghui, and you have to cherish your blessings. ”

Yuyan nodded knowingly, extremely humble: "The concubine was born in a different race, and she can have today, thanks to her mother's care." The concubine is willing to do her best for her mother and serve the work of dogs and horses. ”

The queen smiled and motioned for Yuyan to sit on the Huanghuali Qingluan chair beside her, and said earnestly: "What you have done for this palace all these years, this palace knows it in your heart." On the day Concubine Xian entered the cold palace, the palace originally thought that she had no hope in this life, so she left her a life, so she should cultivate mercy, if it weren't for the fact that you found that the emperor had a handkerchief with green cherry blossoms next to him when you went to bed. Even the palace thought that the emperor had ignored her. ”

Where did Yuyan calm down, and said angrily: "The queen's mother is kind-hearted, and the concubine is deeply favored when she dives into the palace, if you talk about your background in the palace, she and her mother are big families." Her aunt is the queen of the first emperor, so we can't help but be extra jealous. Rao is like this, Concubine Xian entered the cold palace, and the queen mother couldn't make her suffer a little in terms of diet, and she didn't embarrass her after all. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Xian was still restless in the cold palace and cursed the second elder brother, we wouldn't have asked Concubine Hui to support Shuangxi to fiddle with those snakes. ”

The queen sat on the throne, leaning on the brocade cushion with heavy stone blue and yellow satin, her back was straight, her head and neck were slightly tilted back, and she seemed to be suspicious for a long time: "Shuangxi is the slave of Hui Guifei, Hui Guifei actually doesn't know this ability, it is better for you to be careful and make good use of his strengths." It's just that Bengong never knew that Concubine Yi was almost alarmed by a snake when she was pregnant, so where did the snake come from? ”

There was a momentary burning light in Yuyan's eyelashes, but the indignation on her lips became deeper and deeper: "That's really a pitiful concubine, after the concubine heard about this, she said that it must have been arranged by Concubine Xian, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that she saved Concubine Yi and won the emperor's favor." Fortunately, the queen mother was there that day, so she simply pushed Concubine Yi to the palace to have a baby. No matter how she is, it has nothing to do with us. ”

The queen sighed and was sad: "It's not that this palace is afraid of things and avoids suspicion. At that time, Yonglian was already sick, and Yi Concubine had already had a different thing about the heirs of Mei Concubine before, and Yi Concubine came out of the palace room, if the fetus was safe, that was the duty of the palace, if there was the slightest mistake, the palace would be stuck in the quagmire. Rather than this, it is better to push it to Concubine Xian, and it is better to be quiet than to move. ”

Yuyan bowed slowly in a docile and docile manner: "The queen mother is thoughtful. The concubine just can't tolerate sand in her eyes, and she gets angry when she sees someone like Concubine Xian. ”

The queen smiled slightly: "People, they are all destined to be like this." "All right," she said, earnestly. It's not early, so go back and rest. As for the ignorant girl, it's up to you to train her. ”
