Chapter 16 The Hibiscus Tent Warms the Spring Festival

Changge smiled with tears in his eyes and stretched out his thumb: "Is it okay for the emperor to make a vow with his concubines?" The concubine emperor forgot about it in the future. ”

"The Son of Heaven has a word, how can he forget?" The Emperor laughed loudly

When Changge heard this, he also felt that he was a little childish, so he planned to put his thumb down, but the emperor also stretched out his thumb: "Fool"

Changge's heart shook, he was a dignified son of heaven who could do such a naΓ―ve and ridiculous thing for himself, and said with more and more tears: "The emperor loves him, and the concubines will live up to the emperor." ”

The emperor looked at her eyebrows and eyes, and there were crystal tears in his eyes, and hugged her as if he was regretful and satisfied: "Don't worry, I am by your side." ”

This sleep was surprisingly peaceful, and when he woke up, the emperor had already disappeared, Changge was a little anxious in his heart, so he said: "Banxia? ”

Then a group of palace maids guarding outside the hall came in to change Changge's clothes.

Banxia saw Changge wake up and said: "Niangniang Wanfu, the emperor went to the morning court, and when he saw that Niangniang was sleeping peacefully, he instructed the slaves and maids to wait outside and not to wake you up." ”

Changge remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help but be shy, and Banxia said again: "The slave maid is here to serve the mother to change her clothes." ”

"Hmm" Changge nodded, let them freshen up, and after dressing, another small internal supervisor brought a soothing and pain-relieving medicine in front of Changge's eyes: "Your concubine Niangniang Jin'an, this is Shuyu Requiem Soup, please drink it, and the sedan chair slave who will go to the queen's mother will also be ready for you later." ”

Hearing this, Banxia served Changge and walked to Yongning Palace in the morning.

At this moment, it was still early, and after Changge gave the queen a nine-bow salute according to the rules, and listened to her admonishment, the concubines came to greet her one after another.

"Yo, Sister Ming Gui came early, and this palace thought that I wouldn't be able to see you today!" A charming voice came slowly, and Changge knew that it must be Dugu Mengyao who came.

"Sister" Changge saw that it was Yuzhen, so he also nodded and smiled at her, signaling her to come by her side.

Seeing that everyone had come, the queen said some common things as usual, but after a while, everyone dispersed. When he came out of Yongning Palace, Liu Cheng'e, who listened to it, smiled coldly and said: "Some people just don't know what they can do, thinking that a sparrow can really become a phoenix if they jump on the branches?" ”

"Zhixin, don't be unreasonable." Dugu Mengyao walked beside her and said slowly: "Sister Ming is so complex, but Lu Yushu is pale, as if she is a little unwilling." ”

Yuzhen was embarrassed, so she said: "Niangniang smiled, the concubine just got up early and suffered some wind, and she was slightly unwell." ”

"Really?" Dugu Mengyao raised her eyebrows and smiled, as if there were thousands of styles slowly blooming: "This palace is still the sister of Yushu because of the grace of Ming Gui Concubine and the reason why she is uncomfortable, but Ming Gui Concubine's sister is really, obviously commensurate with Yu Shu's sister and sister, why is she not willing to share a piece of the pie now?" ”

Changge knew the provocative meaning in Dugu Mengyao's words, and he also understood the reason why Yuzhen didn't want to be favored, so the two looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Changge smiled faintly and said: "Thank you Niangniang for mentioning it, the concubine must obey the order." ”

Dugu Mengyao said: "Sister Ming Gui is really ten smart people, I don't know if it's good or bad for Sister Yushu to have a sister like you?" ”

"Your concubine is pure and kind-hearted, and she is by no means such a vicious person." Yuzhen replied.

The corner of Dugu Mengyao's mouth smiled slightly, and she said with some contempt: "If it is really a deep sisterhood, let my sister see it is really envious, if I let Master Lu know that my sister has such a good sister like a flower and jade, I must be happy in my heart." ”

Yuzhen looked slightly embarrassed, and saw Dugu Mengyao covering her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Get up early in the morning and say hello, the wind has been blowing for so long, and you are tired, go back." After speaking, he took Liu Zhixin and led the palace people back in a majestic manner.

Yuzhen couldn't help but sigh heavily when she saw Dugu Mengyao go away, Changge understood what she was thinking, so she comforted her: "Sister is fine, sister understands sister's hardships." ”

The snow was falling, Yuzhen looked at Changge, and her somewhat haggard face was a little more grateful: "It's good that you know me, the weather is getting colder and colder, I hope he won't get sick outside, and I'll be satisfied when I'm safe." ”

"Sister......" Changge knew what she was referring to, and she also understood the unspeakable affection, so she said: "Sister misses him so much, I believe he will be safe." ”

Yuzhen nodded, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "I hope so, and it will live up to my affection, and I hope you can gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, so that we will not be slaughtered by others." ”

"I understand that today you and I have long been both prosperous and loss-making." Changge smiled bitterly.

"Tear", the silk handkerchief in his hand has already been torn into two sections, Changge looked at the broken handkerchief and couldn't help laughing, whether it is too soft or too tough is not a good way, for there is a degree of relaxation, it is a long-term way to accommodate yourself.

Changge and the two walked slowly, and Changge suddenly glanced back, only to feel that the road behind them was so long, as if he couldn't finish it in a lifetime.

In the Mingse Palace, the queen Leng Hanzhi ordered someone to put on a good jade fragrance, and the personal palace maid Zizhen said while massaging the queen: "Niangniang, Dugu Mengyao's attitude today is a little abnormal?" ”

"She's not like this one day, it's not upsetting whether it's true or false." The queen rubbed her temples and said with some irritation.

Zi Zhen said: "This Dugu is just those means, it's just this Gu Changge, what are the plans of the mother?" ”

"Plans? Zizhen, you and I know why the emperor married me, and I am a little tired to this day. Now that there are so many new people, I don't want to dwell too much with them, but they are just poor people. The queen said indifferently.

When Zi Zhen heard this, her heart was sour: "In this palace, Niangniang can see clearly, that Dugu is still stupidly fighting for the top, but Niangniang, you have to prepare for yourself." ”

"She's not stupid, she just doesn't want to throw in the towel." The queen pursed her lips and smiled, a little self-deprecating: "How to prepare?" I don't know what the emperor's temperament is, but I have suffered Gu Changge, but Zizhen, do you think Gu Changge is very strange? ”

Zi Zhen said: "The slave and maid looked at it coldly, that Ming Gui Concubine was not as smart as Niang Niang thought, otherwise she would not have been played by the second sister of the Lu family." ”

The queen was stunned for a while, and then said: "It is indeed a troublesome thing for Lu Yuzhen to enter the palace, but there is no way to do it today, but it is a pity that I am not blessed in my life and cannot have a child of my own." ”

"Niangniang, don't say that," Zi Zhen seemed to say something more, but she moved the corners of her mouth and held back.

A sadness suddenly spread in the queen's heart: "That's it, what am I not satisfied with? Let people stare at Lu Yuzhen more. ”

Zi Zhen nodded when she heard this, and the queen closed her eyes, and there were already a little tears hidden in her fine eyelashes.

Back to the Yutang Palace, the palace people all bowed down to Changge to congratulate, Changge was naturally very happy to see it, and after giving the reward, he returned to the mirror to remove the bead hairpin, and replaced it with a homely half-worn crimson cotton jacket.

"Banxia, I'm a little hungry, bring me some crystal jade leaf cake." Changge combed his hair on one side and faced Banxia Dao on the other.

Yi Dong walked in and whispered a few words to Changge, only to see Changge groan slightly: "That's the case, then you can go and tell him, just prepare according to the usual." ”

When Banxia saw it, he asked, "What's wrong with Miss?" ”

"It's nothing" Changge took a piece of crystal osmanthus cake and said, "It's just that the emperor wants to come over for dinner in the afternoon, and Yidong asked me if I want to add something else." ”

Banxia nodded, and stopped talking, Changge was quiet, and after eating some snacks, he took out the book and read it on the chaise longue.

But after half an hour, Changge was a little dizzy, maybe because he didn't sleep well at the latest. Changge squinted, remembering what the emperor had said to her.

"I will not disappoint you......" As if he could still feel the strange and familiar breath in his ears, Changge gradually showed a smile, looking calm and sweet.

Time slipped away by drops, and Changge lay down for a while and suddenly remembered the box of shadow puppets, so he became interested and said, "Yidong, take out my box of shadow puppets." ”

"It's the first time for Miss to play this since she entered the palace, and Miss wants to build a shelf?" With winter as a long song, he held a shadow puppet and asked.

Changge thought for a while and said with a smile: "I only heard Ziyu and them sing, I haven't tried it yet, so I'll make a fool of myself today, don't laugh at me." ”

"How could Miss be?" Banxia rushed to the road, and then set up a shadow puppet shelf with Yidong, and the other little palace maids and little inner eunuchs all gathered around because they were curious, and watched Changge perform shadow puppetry.

"Niangniang, what kind of play are you playing?" Rui Qing looked at the shadow puppet and asked curiously.

Changge thought for a while, smiled and said: "The name of this play is "Half a World Autumn", it is about the love story between a pair of childhood sweethearts, you listen." ”

"What a story about a childhood sweetheart, can you let me hear it?" As soon as he turned his head, he saw the emperor walking over with a smile.

Changge was a little surprised, but he was also happy in his heart, so he said: "The emperor walks without making a sound, and you slaves, don't notify me when you see the emperor?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't blame them, I didn't let them make a sound." He picked up the shadow puppet in the long singer again, played with it carefully, and then said, "Didn't you think you would also act in shadow puppetry?" ”

"Let the emperor laugh, this is just a boring thing to pass the time in the boudoir, if the emperor likes it, the concubine will play a play for the emperor, okay?"

Zhiyuan held the red-clothed beauty, and his thoughts seemed to drift into the distance. "The dream in the depths of the old garden is still there, and the past is like a thousand years in a hurry; Xiao Lou frowned in the mirror, and took off his red makeup and wept" He suddenly remembered that at dusk outside the plug one year, there was also such a person looking at him with a smile.

That attachment, so bright, seems to be the most gentle and pure light in his lonely life after that, the emperor put down the shadow puppet and smiled: "That is the case, then I will wash my ears." ”
