The April wind blows with a slight warmth, and Yanfu Palace is now a bright red, with a patchwork of peach blossoms in full bloom, petals falling with the breeze, and an intoxicating fragrance of flowers in the air. Not far from the www.biquge.info of the Pen Fun Pavilion, on the glazed green tile pavilion, there was a faint sound of the piano that was high and low, and the music was sung low with the ups and downs of the strings, and the soft and moving voices of women sang poignant and sad songs.

The woman still had a white skirt, but a little more peach, and when the last high string stopped, her delicate hands gently covered the body that was still trembling. She raised her head, and in front of her gaze, a woman in a dazzling purple dress stood under the eaves of the porch, dragging her skirt to give alms, and the woman in the white dress stood up to greet her, and saluted, "Shishi has seen my sister." ”

Helian Ruxin's stunning face crossed a vague smile, and he helped him for a moment, and said: "Concubine Shu is the same as the standard, you can't practice this etiquette, so as not to mess up the rules of the palace, otherwise the Queen Mother will not look good." ”

Master Li's eyes were like warm winds, and then he shook his head and said lightly: "This gift is for my sister to my sister, and it has nothing to do with palace etiquette. ”

"This little mouth is so good at talking. ”

Helian Ruxin walked lightly and spared the other party to take two steps, and at the same time brushed the placed huqin, and plucked the strings with his fingertips, "No wonder the official fans are fascinated, my sister can not only say, but the piano skills are even more impressive." But I don't know—"

She approached and asked softly, "But I don't know, who is my sister missing?"

"The master naturally misses His Majesty. Master Li's heart suddenly sudden, as if someone had guessed what was on his mind, but he was longer than the land of fireworks, and for such things, the reaction was not slow, "The official family is usually diligent in political affairs, and the master sees it in his eyes and hurts in his heart." The teacher couldn't help one or two, so he had to play the piano here to express his sorrows. ”

Helian squinted his eyes and walked out slowly, his tone full of stinginess, "Yes, it seems that you two brothers and sisters are really powerful, one stands in the court to grasp the important yamen, and the other stands in the backyard and is very popular with the officials." But I still have to remind my sister that when people eventually grow old, when things eventually decay, the warmth and coldness in this palace come and go quickly, and my sister should be careful. ”

"The teacher thanked my sister for her teachings. Master Li sent her to the stone steps at the entrance of the pavilion, and Yingying said: "Brother Yi was born and died for the official family, and he was trusted by His Majesty, but his heart is relatively narrow-minded. ”

The words of the two are warm, warm and lovely, but they are full of-for-tat. The attendants in the surrounding palace couldn't help but bow their heads one by one, not daring to look directly.

Helian snorted coldly, still smiling on his face, "That's good, the position will take care of some more......"

She wanted to say something more, but then, slightly stunned, at this time, at the end of the eaves, there were several people walking by, the leader was handsome and handsome, with a short beard on his chin, and the person on the right was talking about the topic with the slightly older person on the right. The man was tall and tall, with slightly rough skin, and at first glance he was a man from the army, his legs were steady and powerful, and when he spoke, he also had the bearing of a general.

Recently, Helian Ruxin and Master Li hurriedly went over to greet each other, "The concubine greets Your Majesty." ”

"Why are the two concubines here?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile in his eyes as he let the second daughter get up.

Helian Ru smiled with charming eyes, bowed slightly and said: "The concubine is here to see the sister of the concubine, I am afraid that she has just entered the palace, and there is no one to talk to, it is inevitable that there will be loneliness. ”

"Hmm..... I am especially happy that the two of you sisters live together in harmony, so if the concubine has something to do, go and get busy first. With that, Zhao Ji beckoned the man behind him and walked towards the pavilion, "I still have to discuss the Northern Expedition with Tong Shumi. ”

The concubine did not disturb the official family to discuss state affairs. Helian Ruxin was slightly annoyed, and slowly retreated.

Master Li also asked the chamberlain to carry the huqin and left: "Your Majesty is busy, so Master Li will go to the peach tree to stroke the qin to add some elegance to Your Majesty and Tong Shumi." ”

"Haha-"

Zhao Ji stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, master, let's go, I haven't heard the song for two days, and I have some thoughts in my heart." ”

Master Li smiled shyly, which made Zhao Ji itch in his heart, but there were others present, so he had to watch Shi Shiran get off the pavilion and walk to the pond under a peach tree.

There the peach blossoms are stepping on one by one, and one petal is falling on the branches, and the wind blows up.

The soft figure stopped, reached out to pick it up, and a petal fell in the palm of his hand.

Master Li was sad in his heart, sighed slightly, and then sat down and stroked the piano.

.......

On the gazebo, the sound of the piano came from afar.

There a lord and a minister were also discussing the Northern Expedition, and the DPRK and China naturally had different reactions, probably thinking that last year's drought and the Liangshan incident had a lot of impact on the Wu Dynasty, and the use of swords and soldiers soon after the interval would damage the emperor's benevolence, and the war between the Liao people and the Jurchens had not yet begun, if those savages in the poor mountains and bad waters were defeated, then the Wu Dynasty would face the wrath of the Liao people.

In recent days, the northern expedition has been divided into two factions, each with its own dispute. Originally, Zhao Ji was inclined to the Northern Expedition to recover Yanyun in his heart, but he was unsure about the dispute together, and most of the discussions with Tong Guan today were also for this matter.

"Promoting the Northern Expedition is already the direction of the overall situation, Your Majesty should not listen to the words of those sour Confucians to shake his determination. Tong Guan also came out of the backyard in his early years, and his own Ziwen was weak, but after practicing Bai Ning's Vajra Boy Gong handed over to him, his body became stronger and stronger, not to mention, and a thick beard gradually grew under his chin, and then he served as a supervisor in the land of Xizhui for many years, becoming more and more powerful.

Naturally, he spoke loudly, "The chief manager is now sweeping away the green forests and grasses behind him for His Majesty's Northern Expedition, which shows that he also supports it." This time, as long as Wang Shaozai sent the Jurchen there, and the alliance was successful at sea, Yan Yun would be within reach under the attack from both sides. ”

"This matter will be discussed again. ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "By the way, I have something to tell you, the day before yesterday, Xiao Ningzi asked for a prescription for me in Hangzhou, which can be used to prolong life, does Tong Shumi think this matter is credible?"

"This ..... Wechen didn't dare to guess whether the prescription was true or not. Tong Guan said: "But as far as the chief manager is concerned, like Weichen, he is a servant of His Majesty's family, and everything is for His Majesty's sake. ”

"I've heard that I'm still hesitating, after all, this kind of prescription is a bit elusive. Now that I think about it, Xiao Ningzi really has no need to deceive me, and it seems that the prescription may be true. ”

Zhao Ji put the teacup on the stone table, "It's just that the prescription was taken away by a group of people in Jiangnan, which is really a bit hateful." ”

"The official family is rich in the world, and all the people in the world are His Majesty's subjects, and Your Majesty can sneak people to ask for it. Tong Guan moved his fingers slightly, knocked on the side of his leg, and said: "Wei Chen also said that there are more than 100,000 members of the Ming Sect in the south of the Yangtze River, why don't Your Majesty take this opportunity to test one or two, if you are willing to hand over such a prescription, it means that the other party is just an ordinary sect, and you can rest assured about the Northern Expedition." If they don't, hum - I can't tell if those people are not on the mission. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes moved to the woman in a white dress under the peach tree.

An absent-minded "hmm".

.......

"How's it going over there?"

In the letters exchanged the day before..... Probably nothing has changed....."

The woman with the purple skirt walked under the porch, looking at the eye-catching red outside, and couldn't help but think of the woman named Master Li before, and frowned: "Those waste ........"

Li Yan buried his head and didn't dare to move.

"If it doesn't work, just send the fatwa to them to go back, and don't be embarrassed there. Helian Ruxin's beautiful eyes were cold, he looked at the peach blossoms, and said, "And.... Inform Fang La, let him hand over that prescription and send it to the original place, and that kind of treasure can be owned by him?"

Immediately, he was about to leave with lotus steps, Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed behind and said, "Niangniang... There is something that Xiao Nanzi wants to report to you. ”

"Say—"

"There is a man named Li Jinzhong who wants to see his mother. ”

Helian Ruxin stopped and turned his head to look over, "Let him go, who can see it?"

"Yes. ”

Li Yan wiped his cold sweat, bowed and retreated, and then behind the Langkou rockery, a person flashed out, stopped in front of Li Yan, and said with a flattering smile: "Gonggong Li.... That.... That... What did the mother say?"

", what's going to be seen? Get out of here. Li Yan touched his nose, and when he saw the culprit at this time, he naturally didn't have a good look.

Li Jinzhong was immediately stunned for a moment, nodded his head, and said: "That Jinzhong is disturbed, if the mother thinks of the slave, I hope that Gonggong Li will say kind words." As he spoke, he stuffed something into the other man's sleeve.

"Well, then our family will be disrespectful. ”

After receiving the gifts, Li Yan's complexion changed a lot, nodded at him, and left.

"Father-in-law walks slowly-"

Li Jinzhong smiled and watched the other party leave, and then, the smile subsided and became cold.

Soon after, he bumped into a man.

"Do you want to be like a concubine? Why don't I help you?" The man's voice was crisp, and he could hear it as a woman.

The figure stood in the shadows, and his voice was as clear as water, stimulating every nerve of the other party, as if a huge silent black curtain was shrouding him, and in this palace, the palace heart was everywhere........

In the distance, in a place called Nanping, a day later, a drama with the meaning of opera was being staged.
