Lu Yuan sat alone on the edge of the wide ebony carved dragon couch, his fingers gently slid over the bright yellow brocade quilt woven of gold silk, under his feet was the scarlet carpet, soft and dense, the heavy curtain was layered on top of each other, and the bead curtains were swaying brightly and gently, and ambergris incense was burned in the incense burner of a purple gold and green dragon beast head, emitting a faint light smoke, and the fragrance was dense. Lu Yuan obviously felt her heart pounding, and her slightly cool fingers were helplessly rubbing the yellow silk yarn curtain hanging high on the collapsed edge.

There was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and Lu Yuan was inexplicably flustered, got up and hid in the wide curtain. Yu Lin walked in, did not see a figure, for a while, about to ask, suddenly glimpsed a pair of slender jade feet under the tassels of the curtain, smiled dumbly, and said: "Yuanyuan wants to play hide and seek with me?" Then let me find it! He gestured and flipped the curtains.

Lu Yuan closed her eyes slightly nervously, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and suddenly the gauze curtain in front of her was lifted, and Yu Lin stood in front of her with a smile. As soon as Lu Yuan knelt down, she was pulled into her arms by Yu Lin, hugged to the royal couch, and with a wave of her hand, the veil was closed, and in the light and shadow of the red candle, she gently untied the ribbon around her waist.

Lu Yuan was slightly stiff, her instinctive shyness and lack of experience made her not know how to cater to it, and Yu Lin's eyes showed a soft light, and she said gently: "Don't be afraid, I will be gentle." As she spoke, she felt her soft body with her lips and hands, and she shyly felt his caresses. The curtain is deep, the brain is fragrant, and everything dissolves into the fog that is getting deeper and farther away.

lingered all night, and when Lu Yuan woke up the next day, it was already three poles in the sun, the emperor had already left, and she was the only one on the spacious royal couch. She was very ashamed, she didn't want to sleep until this hour, and she didn't even notice that the emperor got up early.

While thinking wildly, a pair of palace maids guarding outside the hall heard the movement and rushed in with clothes and toiletries.

After grooming, according to the rules of the harem, the next day when the concubines went to bed, they had to kneel down to the queen to say hello, and Lu Yuan took Biluo to Kunyi Palace.

The queen just told her to live in peace with the harem concubines and serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and after a long time of idleness, she resigned and returned to Jingxi Palace.

In the afternoon, the emperor's reward was sent into the Yurun Hall, a box of cages, it was actually carried by more than a dozen small internal supervisors, resisted, the whole hall hem was full, Li Zhong was busy opening the lid of the box, please Lu Yuan to check, there are 16 pieces of Shixingong satin of various colors, 20 pieces of exotic tribute gadgets, a pair of blue glazed dragon plum bottles, a pot of wooden tire begonia style potted bamboo bonsai, a pot of agate osmanthus bonsai, a round carving of amber Hanshan, a screen of rich Changchun, and all kinds of pen, ink and paper inkstones, four treasures of the study, pearl jewelry, everything.

With the emperor's reward came the reward of the queen and the concubines of the harem, and for a time the small Yurun Hall was full of gold and silver, full of brilliance. Lu Yuan was faintly uneasy, she knew that the more saintly she was in the limelight, the more it would attract people's attention.

The afternoon time is always boring, and she ordered Chunhua to come to Chunhe Palace with a jasper ointment. As soon as he reported in, he saw Liang Chang in Cao Bangyun hurriedly coming out of the side hall, and the pearl in his hair shook because he walked fast.

She walked up to her and bent her knees and saluted, bowed her head and said, "I often see the Ying nobles in the Cao family, and the Ying nobles are good." ”

Lu Yuan hurriedly supported each other with his hands and said, "Sister Cao, please get up quickly." It doesn't have to be that way between you and me. After speaking, we walked into the side hall together.

Liang is often in the middle of the body, the skin is slightly plump, the cheeks are condensed with new li, the nose is greasy and creamy, and the view is amiable.

Sitting on the armchair, Lu Yuan said with a smile: "The sachet of the magpie sent by Sister Cao is very exquisite, and the magpie is lifelike, just like the living one, which shows that my sister has deep embroidery." ”

Liang Chang said in the humility: "I am not good at it, but the needle and chisel embroidery is still over, my sister does not dislike it, I will embroider a better one in the future and send it to my sister to play." ”

The maidservant Ruizhu brought the tea, and Liang Chang took it and personally stroked his sleeve to pour the tea, and inadvertently revealed the red garnet bracelet on his wrist, Lu Yuan looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was very similar to the one given to her by the queen at the beginning.

Seeing that she was paying attention to her wrist, the good nobleman poured tea and unintentionally hid her handbag into her sleeve and invited her to drink tea with a smile.

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "The day before I entered the seal, the Queen Mother specially told me to have more contact with my sister in the future, and praised my sister for being kind. ”

Liang Chang said: "Thanks to the Queen Mother, she looks up to me." I thought that I was just a little girl in Ci'an Palace, and I was often bullied by those big palace maids, and the Queen Mother saw me pitiful and transferred me to serve by her side, and later recommended me to serve the emperor, so I have my current status. The Queen Mother, her old man, is indeed as kind to me as a mountain. As he spoke, his eyes were slightly red, and he rolled up his sleeves to wipe his eyes.

Lu Yuan took her hand and said, "My sister and I are under the care of the Queen Mother together, and we will definitely work together to support each other in the future." ”

When I came back from the Spring and Palace Palace, I saw the little inner eunuch who came to announce the decree and serve the bed waiting in Yurun Hall. Biluo, Chunhua and Mingqing hurriedly cleaned up for her, all with joy on their faces. Lu Yuan couldn't be happy, as if she was pressing a stone in her heart.

On the third day, Feng Luan Chun'en car still appeared on time in front of the stone steps of Yurun Hall.

For three days in a row, Lu Yuan was invited to sleep, coupled with the reward like flowing water, she knew that there were already rumors in the palace, especially the Rui Guiren who entered the seal together even teased her in front of everyone when she asked the queen for peace. The other Yi Guiren didn't say anything, his face was calm and calm.

On the fourth day, Lu Yuan got up in the morning and went to the queen mother and queen to say goodbye as usual, returned to Yuruntang, took out a piece of incense note from the book, dipped it in pen and ink, and wrote down the two sentences in Qin Guan's "Queqiao Immortal" "If the two love is long, how can it be in the twilight of the dynasty", folded it, handed it to Xiao Yunzi, and ordered him to send it to the Chengming Palace to be handed over to Li Zhong to present to the emperor.

That night, the emperor really did not announce her to sleep, but summoned the noble Zhang Lanxin, and the day was again the noble Ji Wushuang.

In the afternoon of this day, Lu Yuan just got up from a lunch break, wearing only homely clothes, and loosely pulled a crow bun with a jasper hairpin, which set off her hair like a cloud and her skin like snow. She inserted a full bag of crystal balls like white chrysanthemums that she had just picked from the back yard into the flower sac of the Ru kiln, and gently trimmed the forked branches and leaves with small silver scissors.

Yu Lin didn't let anyone inform, walked in, saw her hairpin and sideburns, her shirt drooped down, and she felt like she was in a spring sleep, and said with a smile: "Yuanyuan's appearance is better than Xizi's heart." ”

Lu Yuan smiled back: "The posture of the concubine Pu Liu, but Dong Shi is just following suit." ”

Yu Lin said: "If you are Dong Shi, then my harem will be full of concubines and saltless streams." ”

Lu Yuan smiled but did not speak. Yu Lin gently stirred the hairpin on her head with his hand, and said: "I have already relied on you and summoned others, aren't you jealous, are you willing to push me into the arms of other women?" ”

Lu Yuan said shyly: "The emperor is not serious. And with a little naughty said: "The concubine believes that the emperor is not the person who sees the difference and likes the new and hates the old, and the concubine also believes that my end is mine, not my end." ”

Yu Lin raised his head and smiled: "A good one is my end, so can I be lucky to be Yuanyuan tonight?" ”

Lu Yuan was speechless, turned around and took out a wild goose's kite from the study, and said to Yu Lin: "How does the emperor look at this kite painting?" ”

Yu Lin carefully observed: "The painting is good, lifelike, and even the feathers are distinct. It's just that this wild goose is gray and abrupt, and it is not as bright as other birds. Yuanyuan likes geese? ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "The wild geese have a benevolent heart, in a team of wild geese, there are always the old, weak, sick and disabled, who cannot rely on their own ability to feed for a living, and the rest of the prime-aged geese will never abandon them, raise them for the old and send them to the end, this is the heart of benevolence; The wild goose is not only benevolent, but also affectionate, the female goose and the male goose match, has always been from the beginning, whether the female goose dies or the male goose dies, the remaining single lone goose, to the death will not find another partner, so the wild goose also symbolizes the loyalty of love. Therefore, concubines like geese. ”

Yu Lin said with a smile: "After listening to Yuanyuan's words, I have been taught again!" ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "The emperor guessed who painted this wild goose?" ”

Yu Lin said: "Naturally, he is a painter in the palace. ”

Lu Yuan said: "The emperor guessed wrong, this was painted by the concubine begging the concubine's sister." On that day, the concubine saw that the kite her sister drew for Princess Qingning was extremely vivid, and she knew that Concubine Xian's sister was very good at painting. ”

Yu Lin nodded and said: "Concubine Xian's painting is indeed good, but people are always faint and have a lot less interest." ”

Lu Yuan Yingying said with a smile: "This is exactly the virtue of Sister Xian, my sister is afraid that there will be too many concubines, which will damage the emperor's dragon body, so my sister follows the example of the ancient virtuous concubine and takes care of the emperor's holy body, without fighting for rain and dew." ”

Yu Lin said happily: "In this way, Concubine Xian is quite concerned about me. ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "That day, the concubine went to the palace of Sister Xian, and saw that Sister Xian made osmanthus wine with her own hands, and the concubine tasted it, the entrance was sweet, the taste was sweet but not intoxicating, the emperor would like to taste it?" ”

Yu Lin smiled when he heard this: "You said this, I really want to try it, and I haven't seen Qingning for a few days." Then I will go to sit in the palace of the concubine, and you can rest early tonight. ”

"The concubine sends the emperor!" Lu Yuan leaned over and saluted, watching Yu Lin leave.

Since then, Lu Yuan has often recommended the emperor to other concubines, and repeatedly persuaded the emperor to dispel the idea of giving her a seal, and the gossip in the palace has gradually decreased, and her heart has gradually settled down.
