Ruyi stared slightly and said with a smile: "It's also a slave and maid." It's just that there are too many things in this palace, and the slaves and maids are afraid that they will be cheaper than others. ”

I spit the core of the candied fruit into the spittoon close to me before I spoke: "It's cheaper for others, and sometimes it's cheaper for yourself." ”

After more than a month, Lin Kexin is still not favored, but Yu is smart and clever, good at singing, but the emperor's favor for her has not come down. For a while, the limelight was booming, and the Yu family gradually became arrogant, not to mention that Fan Yiren, Liu Liangyuan, Tian Guiji and others did not take it in their eyes, but even Concubine Li did not put it in their eyes. Even if the Fan Yi people are well-cultivated, they can't help but be a little annoyed.

Although it was February, the weather was not warm, and the two days were even more cold, with lead clouds hanging low in the sky, dark and gloomy, and there was a great momentum of rain and snow coming. Sure enough, in the evening, the snowflakes were dense and concentrated, and it snowed heavily for a day and a night. By the next night, the snow gradually lightened, and Xiao Guozi and Xiao Lianzi swept the snow in the courtyard and came in, already wet, shivering from the cold, muttering "this ghost weather" in their mouths, and hurriedly went down to change their clothes and roast the fire.

I put down the handkerchief embroidered in my hand and said, "The weather is really bad this year, it's the day when the dragon raises its head in February, and it's still snowing." I'm afraid that all these flowers and plants will freeze to death. ”

Qiushui said with a smile: "Miss feels sorry for those flowers and plants, at the end of autumn, the little inner supervisors all wrapped straw, and it won't freeze." ”

I smiled slightly, and looked down again to embroider the oriole bird on the handkerchief. I faintly heard the sound of cars coming in the distance, and wondered in my heart, Yonghe Palace is located in a remote area, and there have always been few cars and horses, why is there still the sound of cars at such a night. When I looked up, I saw Ruyi standing solemnly with her hands down, and said softly: "Little Lord Qiqi, this is the voice of Fengluan Chunenche." "I was silent, Fengluan Chun'en car was the car that the concubines who served the emperor went to the emperor's dormitory.

After listening intently for a while, the sound of the car was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the beads on the car could be heard in the quiet snowy night. There is also a faint voice of women singing, the singing voice is very tactful and high, singing the newly made congratulatory poem in the palace, "The furnace incense sandalwood beast charcoal idiot, the snowflakes fly outside the pearl curtain." The six palaces enter the wine Yao Meishou, and the phoenix pan dragon is full of royal clothes. I listened for a while, and then said: "She sings well, no wonder the emperor gave her the title of 'Miaoyin'." ”

Xiao Guozi lowered his head and whispered: "Singing in Yongxiang in the middle of the night is not in line with the rules of the palace. ”

I didn't raise my head and said, "This shows the emperor's favor for her!" No one made a sound, and the room was silent, except for the sound of coals rattling in the coal-basin, the howling of the north wind outside the window, and the sound of laughter that was drifting away in the wind. Her laughter was so proud, ringing in the silent snowy night, shuttling between the endless alleys and temples of the harem......

This is the first time I have heard the voice of Fengluan Chunenche, and it sounds very beautiful. I don't know how many women's ears and eyes will be pulled by the sound of this car all the way away, and how many women's expectations, losses, tears and laughter will be carried on this small car. In the evenings of many palaces, they stood quietly in the courtyard, just waiting for the Fengluan Chun En car to stop in front of the palace gate and take them to the emperor's bedroom. When I was a child, I followed my brother to listen to my master read Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu" under the window of the West Chamber, and there were a few sentences that were particularly shocking when I thought about it at the moment - "The thunder is startled, and the palace car is also over; I listened to it from afar, but I didn't know what it was. One muscle and one appearance, extremely beautiful, standing far-sighted, and looking at the fortunate, there are those who can't be seen, thirty-six years! "Thirty-six years, I'm afraid it's been the life of many women! As beautiful as possible, which of the women in the palace is not as beautiful as a fairy, but just beautiful, it is the least rare thing in this harem. Every day there is a different fresh beauty, the old face is old, the new face will come, a younger body, a smooth forehead, bright red lips, bright eye waves, a slender waist...... And the most accustomed thing they have done in their lives is just "standing and looking far away, and hoping for luck". In this harem, a woman without the emperor's favor is like a lifeless paper puppet, and even the occasional gust of wind in autumn can blow her down and destroy her. And those who have the emperor's favor can sit back and relax? I am afraid that their lives are more worried than those of unfavored women, "How long will it be good for Israel to serve others?" "They are more afraid of falling out of favor, more afraid of aging, more afraid of better women. If there is no love, the emperor's favor will not be stronger than silk paper. And love is probably the most lacking thing in the entire huge imperial harem. The women in the palace will approach the emperor for status, glory, and grace, but for love, who has heard of it......

I only felt that my brain was sour, and I put down the needle and thread in my hand and said to Azhu: "That charcoal gas tastes bad, and it makes my brain hurt, so I went to change the incense." ”

Ah Zhu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Miss, the incense for this month has not been brought yet, and it has been delayed for several days, or the slave maid will send someone to ask." ”

I know in my heart that it must be the people of the Internal Affairs Office who deceive me and deduct my share. "It's snowing heavily these days, and there are people in the Internal Affairs Office who are lazy and delay for a few days. That's it, just light any incense first. ”

Ah Zhu agreed and hurriedly went out, only to walk outside the door, "Ah" exclaimed: "Zhao Meiren, why are you standing alone in the wind, afraid that it won't blow it?" Come in, please. ”

I heard something strange and got up and went out. Sure enough, Zhao Meiren stood alone under the palace gate, her nose was red from the cold, but her cheeks were pale and she didn't speak. I hurriedly asked, "Sister, why are you alone?" ”
