Xia Concubine nodded and reminded: "Sister, be careful, it's hot, be careful of the sunburn." ”

Chen Tang also replied politely: "Thank you sister for your concern." ”

Xia Concubine glanced at the box held by Chen Tang's palace maid, and it became clear in her heart that Chen Guiren also wanted to stand in line in the palace, and like herself, she wanted to take refuge in Concubine Shu. But the two didn't know each other well after all, and Xia Concubine didn't say much, so she diverged from her steps and walked in the direction of her bedroom.

After a few breaths, Chen Tang suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xia Concubine's back.

What she just said seemed to have a deep meaning, but she couldn't react for a while. Chen Tang shook his head with a headache, and as soon as he looked up again, he had already arrived at the gate of Concubine Shu's palace.

Du Qinyue got up in the morning and was collecting the dew on the leaves of plants in the courtyard, when suddenly there was a palace maid who reported that Chen Guiren's steps had arrived at the palace gate.

In the past few days, she has also heard many palace maids around her talk about the emperor's new favorite Chen Guiren, but she didn't expect her to come to the door today. I heard that this noble Chen was arrogant and domineering, did not understand etiquette, and even came to provoke during the lockdown of the queen's mother.

Du Qinyue has always been at odds with the queen, and she was naturally happy to see that the queen was locked up. Who knew that this Chen Guiren actually came to provoke the queen, which aroused the anger of the queen, and He Suoyi's three or five overtures aroused the emperor's favor again.

She unconsciously put all these mistakes on Chen Guiren's head in her heart, and naturally she didn't want to see her even more in her heart.

Du Qinyue didn't look back and instructed the palace maid beside her: "Tell Chen Guiren that this palace is tired today, tell her to come back another day." ”

This palace maid has been following Concubine Shu for a long time, and she is a person with a delicate heart, and she is also Du Qinyue's henchman. When she heard her master's command, she stood still for a long time.

"Mother, I'm afraid this is not reasonable, right?" The palace maid guessed that my own master was careless again, so she carefully opened her mouth and persuaded her: "This Chen Guiren has been favored by the emperor in the past few days, and even the queen mother can't be easily offended. ”

Du Qinyue frowned, and snorted coldly: "I will be afraid of him as a little nobleman?" ”

"Niangniang," the palace maid was anxious, and continued to persuade: "It seems that this noble Chen is not here to show off her martial arts today, and besides, she seems to have brought something. ”

Du Qinyue's face was a little moved, she turned to look at Chen Guiren standing at the door, she was wearing a crescent-colored dress with a goose yellow hem, which made the whole person as tender and clean as a hibiscus out of water.

After Chen Tang got permission, he walked up to Concubine Shu, and the whole person smiled, "Concubine see Concubine Shuniang." ”

"Get up," she was quite thoughtful and respectful to herself, and Du Qinyue retreated a lot in the face of her dislike.

Chen Tangtian has a face that takes advantage, not only is it good-looking, but also has a bit of the temperament of a small jasper after being docile. Her clear eyes looked at Concubine Shu fixedly for a while, and suddenly reached out to take the bamboo tube in her hand.

Chen Tang smiled sincerely, "My sister also likes to make tea with dew?" ”

"Huh?" Du Qinyue is a well-known habit in the palace, and she is not disgusted by Chen Tang's intimacy with herself.

Chen Tang played with the bamboo tube in his hand for a while, and said with a smile: "When I was at home before, the concubine's mother also had this habit and took the dew to make tea. I don't know what kind of tea Niangniang likes the most? ”

Du Qinyue knew that she was getting close to herself, and she also gave her a step down, "Longjing." ”

"The concubine also loves to drink Longjing," Chen Tang saw that the concubine was lukewarm towards him, and his heart gradually became anxious, so he simply said directly: "Niangniang, the concubine has something she wants to discuss with Niangniang." ”

Du Qinyue faintly guessed her intentions, although she had a lot of disdain in her heart, but she was also polite to the nearest favorite concubine, she chuckled: "It's so hot this morning, Chen Guiren will follow me to the pavilion over there, and then slowly say what I mean." ”

In the middle of summer, the scorching sun shines in the sky, and the tiles on the palace are shiny and hot. Chen Tang followed Du Qinyue to the edge of the pond, and there was an elegant pavilion in the pond.

Chen Tang looked at the pavilion that was open on all sides, and the colored curtains hung down to cover the pavilion on all sides. She couldn't help but secretly admire Concubine Shu's thoughtfulness, in such a place surrounded by lotus pools, it fundamentally eliminated the possibility of others eavesdropping.

Du Qinyue ignored her curiosity, but walked straight into the pavilion, sat down at the table, and said lazily: "There are no rare things here in this palace, just this tea is made from the snow water in March, I don't know if it is suitable for the taste of Chen Guiren?" ”

The palace maid beside Concubine Shu looked up at her strangely, this tea is obviously a pot that the nobleman asked her to cook in the kitchen at will, where will it be the snow water in March? However, she didn't dare to say much about a little palace maid, so she poured tea and presented it to Chen Tang.

Chen Tang's fingers caressed the relief on the teacup in Du Qinyue's palace, knowing that this woman must have poetry and books in her belly, and she has arrogance in her bones that is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

She drank two sips of hot tea with concern, and raised her eyes to the playful gaze of Concubine Shangshu, Chen Tang was puzzled, so she could only nod at Concubine Shu, and praised: "It is worthy of the tea prepared by Concubine Shu, it is indeed clear and delicious, like snow water......

"Bengong forgot, the snow water was drunk by Bengong a few days ago, this is just an ordinary dragon well." Concubine Shu said regretfully as if she had just remembered it, her slender fingers picked up the handkerchief, took the cup in Chen Tang's hand, and put it in the tray of the palace maid.

She said lightly: "Take it down and throw it away." ”

The corners of Chen Tang's mouth twitched violently, isn't this obviously slapping himself in the face? Her gaze was out of focus, and the heat on her whole face collapsed.

Concubine Shu glanced at Chen Guiren, she was obviously about to lose her breath, just in response to the request in her heart, she hooked the corners of her lips with satisfaction, and gave an eviction order, "Chen Guiren Bingxue is smart, and it is not a shame to not taste it for a while, this matter is all because of the palace, choose the Japanese palace to cook good tea and then invite Chen Guiren to gather." ”

Her voice was like ice ballast, filling Chen Tang's bones inch by inch, and in this hot summer, she shivered. Chen Tang got up and shouted, "Niangniang! ”

Du Qinyue looked up at her lazily, her expression full of impatience.

"The concubine has brought some things to the mother recently," Chen Tang said and turned to the box in the hands of the palace maid, she was in a hurry, and accidentally threw out a few ornaments, which happened to fall on the stone table between the two.

Du Qinyue looked at those exquisite pieces of jewelry, and couldn't help but pout, these things may still be precious things in Chen Guiren, but in his own place, he can grab them casually.

Chen Tang didn't see the disgust in Concubine Shu's eyes, opened the box and pushed it in front of her, and said cautiously: "The concubine came to visit for the first time, and she didn't dare to slack off, so she prepared these things. ”

Du Qinyue's gaze swept over the small pile of jewelry, and said lightly: "My sister has just entered the palace, so there is no need to waste so much thought here in the palace." ”

"There is another one," Chen Tang didn't hear Concubine Shu's words, she took out a long box from the palace maid's hand and opened it carefully.

In the box, a row of luster pearls of similar size and shape are neatly arranged, and the milky white light is particularly beautiful.

Chen Tang thought that this thing would definitely win the favor of the concubine, but he didn't expect Du Qinyue's face to turn completely cold. She smiled falsely, and said to Chen Guiren without any ups and downs: "The palace is tired now, you can pack your things and go back!" ”

Chen Tang's face stiffened, and then suppressed the anger surging in her chest, she was already so humble and eager, Concubine Shu didn't give herself a good face. She almost burst into tears and said: "Niangniang, when the concubine first arrived in the palace, she was unfamiliar with the place, and when she saw Niangniang, she felt kind, Niangniang, do you hate me so much?" ”

Concubine Shu stretched out her hand and closed the box containing the pearls, and said in a stiff tone: "Naturally I don't dare, Chen Guiren, you have this kung fu, why don't you go to pester the emperor, what are you doing here in the palace?" ”

She felt angry when she saw those rare pearls, she had a rash on her face before, and the doctor said that she could be cured by grinding pearls into powder and mixing them with medicinal herbs. When I went to the emperor and saw this box of tribute pearls, I wanted to be happy, but the emperor coldly refused.

Now that she saw this box of pearls in Chen Guiren's place, she recalled the previous events and felt like a fish in her throat. Du Qinyue frowned and got up and wanted to leave, but Chen Guiren pulled the corner of her clothes, and she raised a delicate smile.

"If the mother doesn't like these things, the concubine can also give other things." Chen Tang blurted out that she was stupid, and she wanted to see through Concubine Shu's mind, but she didn't expect to put the cart before the horse.

Du Qinyue sneered and asked her, "Do you think that you can't even take out these things in the main palace?" ”

Chen Tang was completely angered by her yin and yang weird attitude, she stood up with a "brush", and her eyes were red with grievance, "These things that the concubine did, if the concubine is not satisfied, the concubine can prepare again, why do you want to bully like this?" ”

When she was at home, who didn't let herself go everywhere, even when she entered the palace, she was protected and pampered by the emperor everywhere, how could she be so angry?

Du Qinyue's brows tightened even deeper, "Listening to Chen Guiren's words, this palace asked you to deliberately bully you?" ”

Chen Tang realized that he was excited, and after being silent, he would snort: "My sister is wrong, she shouldn't talk to her mother like this." ”

Du Qinyue didn't appreciate it at all, she realized that Chen Guiren was not only stupid but also had a bad mind, so she didn't want to have anything to do with her at the moment. "Sister, since you know this, go back quickly, the palace is also bothered today."

Concubine Shu glanced at the long box containing pearls again, and felt that it was very eye-catching, and with a wave of her sleeve, she swept it off the desk.

The white pearls rolled to the ground, startling the palace maids standing around and hurriedly bending down to pick them up. Chen Tang didn't seem to expect that Concubine Shu would be so angry because of this box of pearls, she was stunned for a while, and suddenly raised her head and shouted, "Niangniang!" ”

Her voice was full of suppressed anger, Du Qinyue turned her head to look at the angry Chen Guiren, and the smile on her face became thicker and thicker, "What else do you have to do?" ”
