Fu Lin went to the east to check the construction of the palace, and went around to Kunning Palace from the back road, wanting to take a rest, and there were still many things to be busy in the afternoon.

When he came from afar, he saw Tong Yuanxi kneeling in a pile of branches and leaves, carefully picking up the petals, and he didn't notice anyone until he got closer.

Speaking of which, now that time has passed, Fulin has gradually been able to call out the names and surnames of several nobles in the harem, and the origins and family backgrounds of each of them, but a few months earlier, when he saw a group of people, he only recognized Tong Yuanxi.

They have known each other for a long time, and secondly, in this Forbidden City, Tong Yuanxi is the only one, and a good-looking person will naturally attract everyone's attention.

But no matter how good-looking he is, Fulin doesn't have any love between men and women.

At first, he left the sign because he saw that his mother seemed to like it, and he knew that she was Tong Tulai's daughter, but as for whether there was such a relationship in the past, it did not arouse any interest in the emperor.

Later, when Fulin realized that only Tong Yuanxi was left without being lucky, she was in a lot of trouble, and then she came back, why did others say that there was still one who was not lucky, so he had to go to Linxing, is he really the stallion that Meng Guqing said?

The emperor himself was angry with himself, but there were all kinds of speculations in the palace, and even Yuan Xi herself believed that she was hated by the emperor.

But Fulin didn't like her, and he didn't like her at all.

The emperor came to Kunning Palace from behind, and the news spread all the way to the front, and several nobles who came to the queen almost left in a hurry, which one dared to delay the queen's good deeds.

Meng Guqing greeted Fu Lin and said with a smile: "Why is this hour coming, why don't you let them pass the meal earlier?" ”

Fu Lin waved his hand: "I'm not hungry, I just want to rest, I can rest wherever I go, but if I go elsewhere, your vinegar jar will turn the sky upside down." ”

"You said this, or you should go somewhere else." Meng Guqing also knew that this was a joke, and she wouldn't really raise the bar with the emperor, but she cared about Fang Cai's matter, so she asked, "From behind?" See something? ”

"Tong Jiashi is picking up flowers." Fu Lin said truthfully.

Meng Guqing's long eyebrows twitched slightly: "Really?" ”

Fu Lin said disappreciably: "This person is always careless. ”

Meng Guqing must know in her heart that Tong Yuanxi is not talking nonsense, since this is the case, why should she rush to provoke right and wrong. Then he turned around and knelt on the kang, put the pillow on it, and smiled: "You come and lie down, you get up before dawn, it's time to rest for a while." ”

But Fu Lin saw Meng Guqing's soles, the white soles, which were dyed in a circle, and a fragment of petals stuck to the heel.

Meng Guqing didn't notice it herself, and probably no one else saw it either, but Fu Lin remembered the scene she had just seen, many flowers around Tong Yuanxi were crushed on the ground, and she said at the beginning: "Don't step on it again." ”

It was the queen who stepped on it, what did she do when she stepped on other people's flowers?

"Fulin, what's wrong with you?" Meng Guqing picked it up, pushed Fulin to lie down, and called Wu Liangfu again, ordering him to watch the time and not delay the emperor's court affairs.

Fu Lin closed his eyes, thinking of Fang Cai's matter, Meng Guqing asked him, was he testing him, he told the truth, but Meng Guqing acted as if nothing had happened.

After leaving Kunning Palace that day, Wu Liangfu received an order from the emperor to send someone to the gate of the imperial garden to have a look, and not to alarm the queen.

The people who went came back and said that Tong Guiren had already left, and the residual flowers and branches on the ground had been cleaned up.

Wu Liangfu figured out the emperor's thoughts, but after that, Fu Lin didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to say more, but Wu Liangfu had already inquired that it was the queen who bullied Tong Guiren again for no reason today.

A few days later, Barya recovered her spirits and came to Jingren Palace to help Yuan Xi make dried flowers, and met Yuan Xi pounding flower juice to make rouge, and asked her in surprise: "Why do you even know how to make rouge?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "I won't, I just learned, I went to the garden to collect flowers yesterday, and I saw that this flower is heavy but there is no fragrance, if the eldest princess is used for bathing, it is not suitable." The old lady who was sweeping the floor on the side said that it would be good to mash out the flower juice to make rouge cream, but I made a mess and dyed my hands full of flower juice. ”

As she spoke, she wiped it on Barya's face, and the two of them frolicked, tossing and turning for a long time, only making a drop of rouge cream, and the two of them wiped it separately.

And this day and night, Balya was taken to the Qianqing Palace, Fu Lin saw the red on her fingers, and asked how she got it, Balya smiled: "Today in Jingren Palace and Tong Guiren to make rouge." ”

"You don't have rouge?" Fulin takes it for granted.

"It's idle and nothing, collecting so many flowers, and having fun." Barya said, leaned over a little, and asked Fulin with a smile, "Your Majesty, is the slave's rouge good today?" We did it ourselves. ”

Fu Lin has always spoiled her, and deliberately sneered: "Monkey fart-like stock." ”

Barya pouted and muttered quietly, "It's pretty anyway." ”

Fu Lin saw that her ink-grinding fingers were bright red, and remembered the soles of the queen's shoes that day, and he asked, "What does Tong Jiashi do with so many flowers?" ”

Bal Yaqi said: "The emperor doesn't know? The eldest princess of Attu likes to use flower petals to soak in the bath to make aromatherapy or something, and said that she should bring more back to Horqin in autumn, spring and summer are acceptable, and you can only use dried flowers in winter, so you want to make more for the nobles of Tong. ”

"Hmm." Fu Lin didn't seem to care, and watched the fold to himself.

"Your Majesty......" Barya said softly.

Fu Lin looked up at her, Balya's rouge today is very good-looking, her skin is white and delicate, and in her timid eyes, what she wants to say has already been revealed, and she really said: "Tong Guiren she...... Your Majesty, why don't you like Guiren Tong? ”

"There are no rules, do you want to talk more?" Fu Lin frowned.

Barya was immediately frightened, and hurriedly knelt down to confess, but was pulled up by Fulin and held in his arms.

She has an elegant and fresh floral fragrance on her body, which makes people smell and smell, and wants to explore the roots, and her ears and temples are grinding, Barya is anxious, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, go back to the Pavilion of the Warm." ”

Fu Lin patted her butt lightly, "You go first." ”

Barya didn't dare to make a mistake, so she hurriedly left, and the fire in Fu Lin's heart gradually extinguished, and she continued to concentrate on reviewing the recitals.

When he was about to rest, Wu Liangfu led someone to send an 800-mile urgent military report, and Changning was victorious, but Tong Tulai was injured, but fortunately, his life was worry-free.

Fu Lin naturally thought of Tong Yuanxi, thinking that if she knew that her father was injured, she would be sad and worried, so she instructed Wu Liangfu: "Don't mention General Tong's injury for the time being, when their class teacher returns to Beijing, you remind me to let Tong Guiren go out of the palace to visit her father." ”

He returned to the warm pavilion, where Barya had waited for a long time, had already changed into her bedclothes, and delicately hid her red hand behind her.

Fu Lin grabbed her hand and said angrily: "You go to the Queen Mother to serve, too?" ”

"It can be washed off in a few days, don't be angry, the emperor." As she spoke, Balya came to take off the emperor's clothes, and Fu Lin smelled the fragrance on her body again, but couldn't help asking, "You are very close to Jingren Palace?" ”

Barya said: "The emperor is really, he doesn't care about anything in the harem, who doesn't know now, the slave and the Tong nobleman are close?" Tong Guiren is good, the slave and her have endless words every day, Tong Guiren has a lot of knowledge and knows a lot of things outside. When she was young, she wanted to follow General Tong to the battlefield, but she was found halfway through and asked someone to send her back. ”

Seeing her glow, Fulin frowned: "So naughty? ”

Barya said: "The tiger girl is naturally different from others. ”

Seeing that she praised the other woman unreservedly, Fu Lin felt even more sorry for Balya's generosity and kindness, and said: "Don't mention it, it's rare for you to come over and say what others do." ”

But Barya said: "But the noble Tong is really good, and the slave is also willing to serve you with such a good person, unlike some people......"

Seeing the emperor's serious face, she lowered her head, "Yes, the slave won't say anything." ”

After Balya went to bed, she was supposed to be sent back according to the rules, but Fu Lin left her for the night, and returned to the courtyard before dawn the next day.

This matter could not escape the eyes of Kunning Palace, and when he asked for peace in the morning, Meng Guqing asked Barya why she broke the rules in front of everyone.

Barya had no way to argue, if she moved out of the emperor, it would only anger the queen even more, she was punished to kneel outside the Kunning gate, and the nobles stood aside to watch, saying that it was to set an example, and the queen did not allow anyone to send news to the court.

When Fulin knew about this, it was already afternoon, and Barya had already gone back after being punished, and the emperor glared at Wu Liangfu angrily, Wu Liangfu kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave really doesn't know." ”

Fu Lin walked out of the door with his hands down, and Wu Liangfu stepped forward to stop: "Your Majesty, if you go to visit Balya Fujin at this moment, where will the queen's face go." ”

"Where did she put my face when she punished Balya for kneeling and let the others stand on the side and watch?"

Fu Lin kicked Wu Liangfu away, and angrily came in the direction of Cining Palace, I heard that Barya had been kneeling all morning, and her knees were going to rot.

But as soon as he stepped into the door of the courtyard, he heard laughter inside, and half of Fulin's anger suddenly dissipated, replaced by curiosity.

When I got closer, I saw that in the door, Barya was sitting under the window and leaning on a cushion, and a palace maid in front of her was sitting on a stool, and Tong Yuanxi was wiping something on her face, which made everyone laugh.

The palace maid begged: "Noble Tong, can you still wash off this rouge you made?" ”

Yuan Xi said narrowly: "How beautiful the red one is, if you can't wash it off, you won't have to wipe the rouge for the rest of your life, how convenient it is." ”

Barya was smiling, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the emperor in front of the door, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

Everyone was frightened and hurried, saluted to greet the emperor, Fu Lin entered the door, pointed to the palace maid and said, "Raise your head." ”

The palace maid raised her head, and saw a big flower face, this time it was really red like a monkey's ass, and Fulin also felt ridiculous, but she couldn't help it, and only frowned: "Why bother tossing them, how can you go out to meet people like this?" ”

When Barya got off the bed, her legs fell to the ground as soon as she was weak, and Fu Lin hurriedly came to help her, and said angrily: "You be careful, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Your Majesty, the noble Tong is joking, and this girl wants to wipe it herself." Barya explained in a hurry and ordered, "Tell the emperor quickly, are you going to wipe the rouge yourself?" ”

Fu Lin said: "I am also playing with you, you continue to play, I just came to see you." ”

He carried Barya to the couch and checked the knee injury, which was not particularly serious, and then at Barya, she timidly took out a pair of thick knee pads from behind her and lowered her head in embarrassment.

But Fulin's mood improved for a while, so he didn't say anything, telling her to rest.

But when he left, he said to Yuan Xi on the side: "The imperial sister wants to dry flowers, if there are not enough in the imperial garden, you go to the front of the Wuying Palace to have a look, there are many flowers and plants there, send someone to inform Wu Liangfu, and let him arrange someone to take you there." ”

Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at the emperor, Fu Lin's heart trembled, the blush that he saw on Balya's face last night was indeed more beautiful and charming on her face at this moment.

But without waiting for Yuan Xi to thank him, Fulin left.

When the emperor left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the little palace maid on the ground crawled to take a mirror and looked at her face, and suddenly she was about to cry.

But this rouge can naturally be washed off, and everyone pulled her to wash her face, and Barya let Yuan Xi sit beside her, and said guiltily: "I almost hurt you again, but the emperor is not angry, don't worry." ”

Yuan Xi smiled heartily: "Don't get in the way, I also know that the emperor is not angry." ”

Barya thought of last night's conversation, but thinking that the emperor didn't say anything at the time, saying it would only make Yuan Xi sad, so she pressed her mood and said: "Aunt Su Mala said that after a long time, the emperor will understand your goodness, not to mention those few, none of them are as good-looking as you." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Sister, I don't care anymore, I'm doing well anyway." ”

She didn't say this in her heart, but at least, she could make herself more comfortable.
