Ci'an Hall and Qinzheng Hall are separated by the east and west palaces, Shen Qinghe is not in a hurry to keep his pace and walk on the narrow palace road, the walls erected by the towering palaces on both sides divide this piece of heaven and earth into large and small residences, Fengluan Palace, Yaohua Palace, Yufu Palace, Fengyi Palace, Jiaofang Palace, Chonghua Palace, countless splendid palaces and pavilions, there are countless people living in them.

The cold wind was like a naughty child, he was not familiar with the roads in the palace, and he shuttled back and forth here, and he was not happy. For a while, he picked up the peach wood ear pendant under the earlobe of the little palace maid, and for a while, he jumped under the feet of the group of little eunuchs, and vigorously blew up the smoky gray eunuch suit.

Or come to the interest, run up the towering four-sided wall, take a look at the four palace gates in the south, east, west, and northwest, pull the bronze statue of the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, or climb the golden eaves, see how big the imperial city is at a glance, and wait until you are tired, slowly walk through the imperial garden, sneak into the uninhabited palace to rest, or fall asleep.

On the palace road, not only Shen Qinghe walked, there were eunuchs cleaning the palace road, and palace maids passing by with brocade boxes, all of them saluted Shen Qinghe: "Auntie." ”

Shen Qinghe bowed slightly, it was a good answer, although her expression looked good, but her inner mind was thinking about something else.

Qiu Yin's words echoed in her ears, and Shen Qinghe only felt that the headache was abnormal.

Shen Qinghe was originally also a first-class palace maid serving in Ci'an Palace, just like the position of Sanshuang and Qiuyin now, but since the previous Ci'an Palace Commander Aunt Wang returned to her hometown, she took her place, this is still the result of Aunt Wang's fancy to her, otherwise, if another palace official comes, Shen Qinghe has to explore other people's temperament to live, okay, now, you don't need to look at people's faces too much, just serve the Queen Mother.

But when he thought of the queen, a trace of annoyance swept between Shen Qinghe's eyebrows.

The queen mother is the niece of the queen mother, but her temperament is really not very pleasing, she went to Ci'an Hall twice in three days, either crying about the virtuous concubine, or crying about the saint, sometimes the queen mother gave the method, and it can also be used in a mess, like now, Shen Qinghe went to the Qinzheng Palace to send food in the name of the queen, and it was not once or twice.

Thinking about it soon, Shen Qinghe could already guess that the Queen Mother would definitely let her go to Fengluan Palace to assist the Queen Mother again.

Zuo is just patient with the queen's temperament.

Shen Qinghe sighed and stopped.

"Why are you here?"

Before Shen Qinghe stepped up the white marble steps in front of the Qinzheng Palace, Chen Fu, the chief eunuch of the Qinzheng Palace, hurriedly came down.

He frowned, and while asking, he glimpsed the food box in Sanshuang's hand, and then consciously didn't ask again, but teased: "The queen mother went to Ci'an Hall again?" But if you want me to say, it's not the right time for you to come today, Concubine Xian is already inside. I guess I have to be a virtuous concubine today. You're going to have to run for nothing. ”

"I'm here, it's just on the order of the queen to send food to the saint, since the virtuous concubine is already inside, then I'll just wait." Shen Qinghe and Chen Fu are also old acquaintances, she smiled without changing her face, and bowed her head to Chen Fu and said: "Father-in-law, Concubine Xian Niangniang has been sleeping for two days in a row, you said, if you are still sleeping with Concubine Xian today, then can Concubine Xian Niangniang be considered the first time in the harem?" ”

Chen Fuben also listened to Shen Qinghe's speech with a smile, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became, and later, he didn't laugh even more.

Why did he forget, Shen Qinghe came, it must be on the orders of the queen mother, and secretly there is the queen mother's support, if it is still a virtuous concubine tonight, then the saint can stay in Chonghua Palace for three days and nights, and even the queen does not have the grand favor, isn't it the first time in the harem?

This really shows that the virtuous concubine has pressed the queen's mother.

Either or not!

Even if the saint forgets this, he can't forget it, otherwise, if the queen mother thinks about it afterwards, wouldn't it be him, the chief eunuch, who will suffer?

On a cold day, cold sweat broke out on Chen Fu's back, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly said, "You wait, you wait, I'll go in." You'll have to wait. ”

Of course Shen Qinghe had to wait, the food was not delivered, and the task was not completed, so she turned her steps around and looked for a sheltered place, Shi Shiran waited.

The Qinzheng Hall is located in the center of the imperial city, in front of which is a large open space paved with white marble, and there are guards with swords in front of the palace wearing heavy armor on all sides, and at a glance, majestic and empty.

Shen Qinghe didn't wait for a while, and the door of the Qinzheng Hall creaked open.

Concubine Xian wore an indigo embroidered iris palace dress, and the palace maid put on a fox fur cloak of the same color for herself, her eyes were cold, and she looked condescendingly at Shen Qinghe under the stone steps.

Concubine Xian's sedan chair was not far behind Shen Qinghe, she passed by Shen Qinghe, as if mocking and disdainful, and snorted softly and skillfully: "In the end, it is the person in the Queen Mother's Palace." ”

"The slave and maid send the virtuous concubine Niangniang." Shen Qinghe bowed slightly.

She lowered her head and couldn't see Concubine Xian's expression, and similarly, Concubine Xian could only grit her teeth and flick her cloud sleeves and leave here.

It wasn't until the hem of the palace dress embroidered with three layers of silver wire edges left his sight like a flying butterfly that Shen Qinghe slowly got up: "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

"Whew, let's get in quickly." Chen Fu didn't know what to say, so he sighed twice and said to Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe didn't let Sanshuang go in, but carried the food box by herself, and stepped into the Qinzheng Hall as lightly as possible, she glanced directly above, and the dragon chair was empty.

The Qinzheng Palace has been here many times, but Shen Qinghe is still not used to smelling the heavy ambergris, which is the smell of the emperor, and it is also the supreme representative.

Shen Qinghe changed the degree of fluctuation of his breathing, allowing himself to get used to this taste as soon as possible, otherwise, it would not be just a matter of shame to be disrespectful in front of the saint.

She lowered her eyes, staring at the blue and white jade floor tiles in the hall, and the lotus step moved lightly, bypassing a whole side of the Huanghuali Bogu shelf full of books, and then, the smell of ambergris was even worse, she couldn't hold back, holding her breath and wrinkling her nose.

Behind the huge Bogu frame is a whole golden silk nanmu dragon case, between the two there is a tripod three-legged carved hollow double-petaled lotus flower style Boshan furnace, there are wisps of white smoke rising from it, accompanied by the heat of the earth dragon, all over the body.

Shen Qinghe took a deep breath and raised his head slightly, but he didn't want to crash into a pair of playful black eyes that seemed to be smiling and looking at her wantonly.

It was probably hot, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, the palm of the hand carrying the food box was slightly slippery, Shen Qinghe's heart was unprovoked, and a burst of irritability appeared in Shen Qinghe's heart for no reason, the hundred lattice windows on all sides were airtight, and ambergris deeply invaded her nasal cavity, Shen Qinghe was anxious but couldn't escape here.

She lowered her head calmly, leaned over and said, "Slave and maid please the saint, the saint is safe." ”

In the middle of the sound, a low laugh came out from behind the dragon case, like a demagogic demon beast in the deep sea, and his voice was low but full of magnetism: "Get up, let me see, what did you send for the queen?" ”

"Thank you."

Xiao Qi's thin lips hung a playful smile, like a ripple on the surface of the lake, quickly covering the entire angular face, not only with a smile on the corners of his mouth, but even his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, as if he had caught the prey and was not in a hurry to enjoy the fox, allowing it to beg for mercy over and over again under the sharp claws.

Xiao Qi stared at Shen Qinghe as he approached, the corners of his mouth drooped by three points, and he said unexpectedly: "You won't bring milk again, will you?" ”

A slightly abrupt sentence, but it successfully made Shen Qinghe's hand holding food stop in the air, not retreating or advancing.
