Gu Changqing didn't stay long and left quickly.

Tao Yao asked people to move the lychees he brought to Tao Ling's yard.

In the hot summer, Tao Ling sat by the window to enjoy the coolness, and Tao Shu and Tao Lian talked to her on the side.

Seeing that Tao Yao brought lychees in, Tao Shu and Tao Lian both got up happily, "Xiao Yao (Fourth Sister), where did this lychee come from?" ”

Tao Yao picked two lychees from the basket, handed them to the two, and said with a smile: "With the light of the second sister, we can eat a full meal of lychees, these are all sent by Master Gu." ”

"Wow!" Tao Shu and Tao Lian's mouths opened wide, and they deliberately glanced at Tao Ling jokingly.

Tao Ling heard what Tao Yao said, frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

"Does the second sister want me not to accept it?" Tao Yao saw it and asked with a smile.

Tao Ling bowed his head and was silent.

"Master Gu sent this lychee all the way away, if I refuse it for you, how sad should he be?" Tao Yao said, took a few lychees from the basket, put them on the small table in front of Tao Ling, and peeled one and fed it to her lips.

"This Lingnan lychee is really different from other places, it is very sweet, second sister eat it quickly." For the rest, I had them taken to the well and chilled. ”

Tao Ling couldn't resist her, so he opened his mouth to eat.

"Second sister, isn't it sweet?" Tao Lian endured her saliva and looked at her expectantly.

Tao Ling paused, nodded, and a smile appeared on his face, "Well, since you have accepted it, you can eat it too." ”

Tao Shu and Tao Lian waited for her words, cheered, and sat aside to eat lychees.

Tao Yao also ate a few.

She prefers watermelon to lychee, especially chilled.

On a hot summer day, eating chilled watermelon, not to mention how refreshing.

So when Xi'er brought the watermelon that had been chilled with well water, she was very happy.

She ate half of it alone.

"This watermelon is cold, don't eat more, be careful of bad stomach." Tao Ling persuaded.

Tao Yao just couldn't eat anymore, so he nodded, "Okay." ”

Thinking that there would be a palace banquet tonight, she sat down for a while and then went back to the Guogong Mansion.

originally thought that Lu Jiuyuan had come back, but Uncle Chen told her that Lu Jiuyuan had not come back since he went out last night.

This made Tao Yao very incomprehensible.

"Where did Guogong go?"

"The old slave doesn't know, even Uze hasn't come back." Uncle Chen shook his head.

Tao Yao was very puzzled.

There is a palace banquet today, and Lu Jiuyuan is also going to the banquet, seeing that it is almost evening, he has not come back yet.

She suppressed the doubts in her heart and went back to Tingfangyuan.

Not long after, someone came to the palace to take her into the palace.

She felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she still cleaned up and followed the visitor into the palace.

The visitor sent her all the way to the imperial study and met the emperor.

"Mrs. Jiuyuan, Jiuyuan has been ordered by me to leave Beijing for a period of time, if you encounter something, just tell me." The emperor's expression was very gentle.

When Tao Yao heard this, he suddenly realized, no wonder Lu Jiuyuan never came back, it turned out that he had left the capital......

She suppressed the loss in her heart, saluted and thanked her, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor raised his hand and said to the eunuch on the side: "Zhao De, send Mrs. Lu to sit with the imperial concubine, the dinner will begin, and there will be a period of time." ”

"Yes." After the great eunuch Zhao De answered, he took Tao Yao respectfully to Xiyue Palace.

Xiyue Palace is Rong Niang's dormitory.

When Tao Yao followed Zhao De, Heng'er was playing in the courtyard with a few little eunuchs.

Seeing Tao Yao coming, Heng'er immediately left them behind and ran towards Tao Yao happily

"Sister!"

Tao Yao hurriedly curtsied and saluted: "The courtiers have seen Your Highness. ”

Heng'er flattened her mouth, took her hand and said, "Sister doesn't need to salute." ”

"Your Highness, the ceremony must not be abolished." Tao Yao saw that there were palace people staring at him all around, and said lightly.

Zhao De said with a smile on the side: "Mrs. Lu is here, talk to my mother, our family still has something to do, so let's go first." ”

"There is Lao Zhao's father-in-law." Tao Yao nodded.

As soon as Zhao De left, Tao Yao followed Heng'er into Rong Niang's bedroom.

When she entered, Rong Niang was dressing up and dressing up under the service of the palace people.

"The courtiers have seen the mother." Tao Yao stepped forward and saluted.

Rong Niang looked through the mirror, saw it, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, sit down, Heng'er, and play with your deceased sister for a while." ”

"Got it." Heng'er said in a milky voice, took Tao Yao's hand, sat aside, and then picked up the pastries on the plate and fed Tao Yao.

Tao Yao couldn't refuse, and reached out to take it, "Thank you little prince, the courtiers can eat by themselves." ”

Heng'er knelt on the chair and looked at her with her cheeks raised, "Why is my sister different?" ”

Tao Yao's action of eating pastries paused, "What's the difference?" ”

Heng'er pouted and said, "It's become polite......"

Tao Yao was very ashamed when he heard this, but more helplessly.

She also likes Heng'er, but he is the prince, no matter how much she likes him, she must pay attention to proportion, otherwise she will be criticized by someone with a heart.

But for Shang Heng'er's beautiful and clear eyes, her heart finally softened.

While others didn't notice, he raised his hand and gently touched his head.

Heng'er was very happy and stuffed her with a snack, "This is Heng'er's favorite pastry, my sister eats more." ”

Tao Yao looked at the pastries that were stuffed, a little helpless, she said softly: "You are the prince, our identities are different, you can call me Mrs. Lu in the future." ”

When Heng'er heard this, she was very sad, and hung her little head and said, "I don't want to ......"

Seeing him like this, Tao Yao's heart softened again, and he was about to say something to appease him, when he suddenly saw Rong Niang, who was dressing up, looking over here.

She paused, but finally hardened her heart and said nothing.

Rong Niang quickly combed her makeup and changed into a luxurious dress.

She is good-looking herself, and dressing up like this makes her even more bright and moving.

Tao Yao glanced at it and lowered his eyes.

No wonder as soon as she was accepted into the palace, she was canonized as the imperial concubine, this Rong Niang does have capital.

"It's almost time, let's go to the Qionglu Temple." Rong Niang came over and took Tao Yao's hand.

Tao Yao quietly withdrew his hand, "Yes." ”

Rong Niang glanced at her, didn't care, and instead took Heng'er's hand.

As soon as the group had walked outside, the emperor strode over.

He specially came to pick up Rong Niang and go to Qionglu Hall together.

Tao Yao deliberately lagged a few steps behind, she didn't want to walk into the Qionglu Hall with the emperor and the imperial concubine, it would be too eye-catching.

On the way past the Qionglu Palace, I met several concubines who were waiting for the emperor.

Among them is Zhang Guifei.

When Zhang Guifei saw Rong Niang, her eyes flashed with disdain, "The imperial concubine is really a peerless beauty, and we are really ashamed of ourselves." ”

This is saying that Rong Niang is on top of her beauty.

Rong Niang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she held the emperor's arm and smiled lightly: "Let Zhang Guifei smile, the peerless beauty of the palace does not dare to be, but fortunately this face will not stain the emperor's holy eyes." ”

When Zhang Guifei heard this, she almost couldn't maintain a smile.

Rong Niang, this slut, this is saying that she is unsightly.

The other concubines were also a little stupid.

Because many of them are old, they no longer have the beauty they had when they were young.

Seeing the glamorous Rong Niang, I felt dazzling.

"Speaking of peerless beauty, Mrs. Lu is worthy of her name!" At this time, Zhang Guifei's eyes suddenly fell on Tao Yao's body.
