The Yurun Hall of Jingxi Palace has been renovated, five Qing Xia, a piece of powder wall is hidden in thousands of poles and green bamboos, zigzag verandahs, jade railings are built around, and stones are stepped in.

The main hall is arranged very elegantly, the walls are full of carved exquisite wooden boards, or "three friends of the cold year", or "high mountains and flowing water", or highlights, or Bogu, all of them are carved by skilled craftsmen in the palace, one by one, or there is a place to place the pen inkstone, or for the flower vase, or place the bonsai. These maules are of all kinds, or the sky is round, or plum blossom banana leaves, or even the half-wall, clear and exquisite, and according to Lu Yuan's preferences to create a lot of bookshelves, and bookcases, piano cases, chess tables. Open a small door from the inner room, and you will find a small courtyard with several pear trees and plantains. Under the wall, fresh water is drawn from Baihe Lake not far away, poured into the wall, goes around the steps to the front hall, and circles under the bamboo.

Lu Yuan was very satisfied when he saw that the renovation of Yuruntang was neither gorgeous nor elegant. There was already Biluo with a few little girls to arrange the soft cages, books, sundries, etc. On the day of the canonization ceremony, Lu Yuan took Biluo, Chunhua, and Mingqing to move in.

At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected several capable maids and internal supervisors to serve in Yuruntang.

After dinner, Lu Yuan took Biluo's hand and walked around the front hall and backyard, turned to the main hall, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Sister Biluo, the main seat of the main hall of Jingxi Palace is Shun Concubine Niangniang?" ”

Biluo hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, the little master calls me Biluo." Concubine Shun Niangniang is indeed the lord of this Jingxi Palace, but she has been out of favor for a long time, and now she does not live in the main hall, but has been living in the Qinfang Zhai next to her. ”

Lu Yuan was curious: "Why did Concubine Shun fall out of favor with the emperor?" ”

Biluo said: "This is a long story, but it's just because the harem is jealous." So he told the story.

Five years ago, Shun Concubine Liang Yiru and her half-sister Liang Yubox were drafted into the palace together, and were named Changzai at the same time, and lived in Jingxi Palace. Shun Changzai because of his gentle and graceful temperament, and quite literate, was first selected by the emperor to sleep, and not long after was named a nobleman, he was favored for a while, but because of this, he was jealous of his sister Qi Changzai.

It turns out that Qi Changzai is the daughter born in the main room, and the Shun nobleman is just a concubine born in the side room, when he is in the house, he has always been Qi Chang in the high, pressing the production and practicing the nobles, and now he has entered the harem but was robbed of the limelight by a sister who came out, Qi Chang is very jealous and hateful, and has accumulated a stomach of resentment. However, the noble man was fortunate to be pregnant with a dragon fetus, and was given the title of concubine by the emperor, and was in charge of the main position of Jingxi Palace, and Qi Changzai was even more jealous and crazy.

One day, the two sisters had a quarrel in the palace, Qi Changzai lost his mind, and led someone to break into the main hall to pour a bowl of safflower to Shun Concubine, that night, Shun Concubine had a miscarriage, and the dead was still a male fetus, and Shun Concubine almost lost her life due to excessive bleeding, and she could not have children in the future.

The emperor was furious and gave Qi Chang to self-determination. Concubine Shun was too sad, her body was also injured, and her temperament became cold and obedient, at first the emperor took pity on her for losing her son, and often went to see her, she was blindly depressed and depressed, ignoring the emperor and even clinging to words, so the emperor was also cold to her. Later, the harem has not been peaceful, Qin Tianjian watched the sky at night and said that the astrological signs of Shun Concubine were unfavorable, which was a bad omen, so everyone avoided her, and Shun Concubine completely fell out of favor.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan sighed: "It was born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other, so it is very pitiful to lose both." Even so, she is also the lord of this Jingxi Palace, and I should go and visit her. ”

Biluo said: "After Concubine Shun fell out of favor, she almost never went out, and she didn't see anyone, so I'm afraid the little master will touch a nail." ”

Even so, early the next morning, Lu Yuan still ordered someone to hold a plate of newly made Ruyi cake and go to Qinfangzhai to pay a visit to Shun Concubine.

Chunhua knocked on the door for a long time, and only then came out of the door a little girl who had just left her head, and said: "Our mother said, I don't see outsiders when I am unwell, please go back." ”

Lu Yuan had to say loudly to the door: "The concubine Yinggui Lu, I am fortunate to stay in Jingxi Palace and be accompanied by my sister, it is really fate, since my sister is unwell, the concubine will retire first, and come to visit another day." I hope my sister will go to the disease and be healthy as soon as possible! After speaking, he listened to the silence in the door, and took Chunhua back to Yurun Hall.

After eating in the evening, because there was nothing to do, Lu Yuan came to the front of the steps to admire the pole and bamboo, the bamboo moved with the wind, the bamboo shadow was swaying, and the ground was mottled.

Suddenly, a flute sound came out from Qinfangzhai, the flute sound was cool and far away, and the ears couldn't help but be quiet, washing away the customs, the tune was like a pine wave, and the wind was blowing.

Lu Yuan listened attentively, unconsciously moved, and wanted to play a song, so he ordered Mingqing to take the jade flute, and played it slowly, the flute harmonized, Qingyue was tactful, the wind was curling, and the corner of the eaves pavilion was clear. Suddenly, the flute stopped abruptly, and only the flute sound was left solo. Lu Yuan sighed with emotion, I don't know what kind of woman Shun Concubine is, just listening to this flute sound, she can be cited as a bosom friend.

The newcomer can go to bed three days after being canonized, and naturally Lu Yuan is the first one. Just after lunch on this day, the inner eunuch in front of the palace hurriedly came to pass on the will of the servant, and Aunt Chang, who was waiting for the servant in front of the palace, came to Yuruntang to ask some rules for the bed.

At dusk, the twilight was heavy, and Xiao Yunzi, the inner supervisor of Yurun Hall, walked in happily and said, "Little master, Fengluan Chunen's car is here, please Sister Biluo quickly pack up and get into the car with the little master!" ”

Fengluan Chunen car is gorgeous, the golden tassels hang around, the curtain is full of dragon and phoenix frolicking patterns, and the eaves are hung with delicate copper bells, which are crisp. The white horse pulled the Fengluan Chunen chariot and walked on the long road, the palace wall was deep, and the glazed tiles of the dome were glowing red gold in the twilight.

When he arrived at the Chunyuan Palace, Biluo gently helped Lu Yuan out of the car and stepped on the steps made of white jade in the Chunyuan Palace. The hall is silent, the low curtain hangs, the fragrance is fine, and the candle shadow is swaying. Aunt Chang, Biluo and others served Lu Yuan to bathe in fragrant soup, changed into Su Luo's bedclothes, led her to the palace, and withdrew with a smile.
