Li Chang is born beautiful, people are also well-behaved, and the emperor is extremely soft and flattering, for a time soaring, quite favored, four or five days in ten days is her bed, the rest are concubines, concubines, concubines and others. Because the emperor loves her, he often announces that she will go to Chengming Hall to accompany her, just like Lu Yuan.

On this day, Yu Lin announced at the same time that Lu Yuan and Li Chang were accompanying them in the Chengming Palace, and at the gate of the main hall, the two met unexpectedly.

Li Chang gently supported the red gold butterfly on the bun that was shaking because of the eagerness, bowed to Lu Yuan, and said: "The concubine often asks Ying Concubine Niangniang in the Wu family, Niangniang Jin'an!" ”

Lu Yuan looked at her carefully groomed face and smiled: "Sister doesn't have to be polite, please get up." It turned out that my sister's surname was Wu, and this palace didn't know that it was in vain that you and I spent so much time together. ”

Li Changzai was slightly stunned, her face was slightly confused, and she said astringently: "If you know that you are sorry for your mother, don't resent me." ”

Lu Yuan smiled as before: "Why should this palace resent you and hate you, you can have a better home, this palace should be happy for you." And when he had finished speaking, he passed by her and entered the temple.

Yu Lin saw her walk in, and hurriedly got up from the dragon chair and walked down to help her, and said gently: "I specially sent the dragon to pick you up, why don't you sit and walk?" ”

Lu Yuan's heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "The concubine is tired of being in the palace all day long, and she is getting more and more lazy. ”

Yu Lin's gaze fell on her bulging belly, and said gently: "That's right, I'm just afraid that you will be tired, and this belly looks bigger." ”

Li Chang was slightly embarrassed to be left aside, and after saluting, she stood on the side of the desk and stroked her sleeves and grinded them.

Lu Yuan was helped to sit on the soft couch, and intimately covered her with a thin blanket on her lower abdomen, and ordered someone to move the brazier in front of her, and also passed snacks and dried fruits, Lu Yuan hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "The concubine just had breakfast, how to eat snacks, the emperor should not be busy with the concubine, the concubine is very good to sit and read a book like this." ”

Yu Lin sat back at the desk with a smile, and said: "Li Chang was in your palace in the past, and the two of you are familiar with each other, so don't be restrained with each other." ”

Lu Yuan glanced up at Li Changzai, pursed his lips and said, "The concubine in front of the palace and Li Changzai are still talking about the old days." ”

Li Changzai also said obediently: "The concubines used to be treated well by Ying Concubine Niangniang, but now although they no longer serve Niangniang, Niangniang's kindness is not forgotten." ”

Yu Lin was in a happy mood and said loudly, "I just like to see you live in harmony. ”

It was already early winter, the north wind was blowing outside the window, it was cold and cold, the dead leaves were falling from the trees in a swirl, the brazier in the hall was blazing, the warmth was melting, Lu Yuan leaned comfortably on the soft pillow, reading a book of "Historical Records", occasionally raised his head, tacitly met with Yu Lin's four eyes, looked at each other and smiled.

Li Chang was silent, and did her duty on one side, grinding ink, laying paper, and sorting out the folds.

After looking down on the case for more than an hour, Yu Lin was a little tired, so he said: "I am tired of watching, so please ask Li Chang to sing a song in Qingqing to relieve my fatigue." ”

Li Chang hurriedly put down the ink fountain, cleared her throat, and slowly sang a song "Lotus Leaf He Tiantian": "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaf He Tiantian." There are double carps, playing with each other in the blue waves. Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf south. Who is the daughter in the depths of the lotus leaves, laughing and throwing a lotus across the water. Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian. The water is covered with empty emerald color, and the flowers bloom cold and red. Passers-by are fortunate to meet here. Mengjun gave lotus root, and the heart of the lotus root is inextricably linked. Mengjun gave lotus fruit, and his heart was as bitter as frying. ”

The song is soft and tactful, like a yellow warbler crying softly in the treetops in the early morning, with a peculiar charm and touching people's hearts.

After singing the song, Yu Lin clapped his hands and applauded, and Lu Yuan also praised with a smile: "I can't imagine that my sister's singing voice is so good, it really looks like a hibiscus crying tears, Xianglan is smiling, and the aftersound is lingering, which is endlessly evocative." ”

Li Chang bowed to her Yingying and said: "Concubine Ying Niangniang praised it falsely, and the concubine's small skills in carving insects are not enough to worry about." ”

Yu Lin said heartily: "Since you like to listen, I let Li Chang sing with you from time to time." ”

When Li Chang heard this, her face changed slightly, and her eyes revealed a touch of melancholy, but it was fleeting, and her smile was the same.

Lu Yuan caught the loss on her face, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and said: "If Sister Ruoxi sings to the emperor, there is a strong affection in this song, so the song is so beautiful and beautiful, the emperor should not live up to it." ”

Yu Lin laughed: "I know, I know!" ”

Noon is approaching, Yu Lin insisted on leaving the two of her to have lunch in the Chunyuan Palace, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies were placed on a full table, and the three of them sat opposite each other, although there were talking and laughing, but it was inevitable that there were some suspicions and embarrassments.

After lunch, Lu Yuan got up to say goodbye, and Yu Lin still wanted to send a sedan chair to send him off, but Lu Yuan refused with a smile.

After leaving the Chunyuan Palace, he was about to leave, and a delicate and Qingyue voice sounded behind him: "Ying Concubine Niangniang, the concubine wants to go to the Niangniang Palace to sit down, I wonder if Niangniang welcomes it?" ”

Lu Yuan turned around, looked at Ruoxi, and said slowly: "Li Chang is willing to visit, this palace should have welcomed, but you and I have a special identity and situation now, if you are too close, it will definitely attract gossip, for the sake of my sister's reputation, this palace has to refuse." After speaking, holding Biluo's hand, he slowly walked in the direction of Jingxi Palace.

Li Changzai stopped talking, her eyes were deep, and she quietly watched Lu Yuan's slightly bloated back gradually fade away because she was pregnant, sighed slightly, turned around and went back to the palace, and the fallen leaves of the sycamore trees behind her were scattered all over the ground.
