CHAPTER XVI

Pian Ruo has been to the Tong last pavilion a few times, the Tong last pavilion of the year is full of verdant, strange flowers and flowers, and now those trees and flowers are mostly horizontal branches and oblique out, it is obvious that few people prune and take care of it. Only the palace is still the same as it was then, and nothing has changed. There was no maid in the palace, and Pian Ruo kept walking into the main hall, and a maid came out, who happened to be the plain maid who went to receive the reward. When the maid saw Pianruo, she was startled, and hurriedly came to Shi Li to ask why Pianruo came to Tonglast Pavilion. Pian Ruo smiled and said: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time, I miss it very much, so I came to see it." The plain-clothed maid pondered for a long time and said, "The princess has been fine lately, but she embroidered flowers all night last night, and she just ate something and fell asleep." Is there anything important that the official wants to see the princess?" Pian Ruo heard this, and she didn't know if the princess was really asleep, or she didn't want to see her, so she replied: "There is nothing wrong, I haven't seen the princess for a long time, and Yuanhuang Niangniang is also very worried, so I think there is nothing to do today, so I came to take a look." The plain-clothed maid smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, the official servant can take a look at the princess outside the curtain, or you can return to Yuanhuang Niangniang." Pian Ruo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, and followed the maid to the inner hall.

The windows in the hall are bright and clean, and they are quite orderly, but there are several Hunan curtains hanging on the ground, and there is no life. The maid walked to a purple cloud pearl curtain tent, lightly lifted a bead curtain, beckoned to Pianruo, Pianruo hurriedly stepped forward and looked outside the curtain, a very delicate light gauze curtain tooth bed, Tilt really faced outward and slept on the brocade mattress, looking sleepy and stable. I haven't seen a voice for many years, but the appearance of the flower and the moon has not changed. It's not too pretty, just a few hairpins. There was a trace of sourness in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of the king's affection and the poor life. I couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned around and walked out of the temple.

Pianruo walked out of the palace, although the Tong last pavilion was claustrophobic but there was nothing missing. Pianruo's snack was just a little thought, and she handed the small snack to the maid and left in a hurry.

Pianruo hurriedly walked out of the Tong Pavilion, to a secluded place to change back into clothes, just walked out not far away, far away to see a man and a woman standing on the stone platform in the pond in front of two people talking, facing their own man is Si Lengxian Yujun, the woman turned her back to Pianruo, the luxurious clothes at a glance to know that it is not an ordinary palace person, Si Lengxian also saw Pianruo from afar, so he said something to the woman, turned around and walked away.

The woman then turned around and slowly walked down from the stone platform over there, and after the woman walked down, she immediately walked over to a group of palace people serving beside her, and Pian Ruo saw that the woman turned out to be the princess of the king's side. Shuang Xuan was followed by many palace people, all holding or carrying large and small brocade boxes in their hands. Shuang Fei kept coming over, and when she saw Pian Ruo coming from the direction of Tong Last Pavilion, she couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, and Pian Ruo hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over to salute Shuang Silk. Shuangxuan asked, "Where did Pian Ruo come from?" Pian Ruo was clever and replied calmly: "Back to Concubine Shuang, if the king gives the reward for singing and dancing to all the dancers in the palace, and some of the dancers in the palace are unable to perform songs and dances in the Zhaoque Palace, I will distribute the rewards to the residences of all the dancers." Shuang Xuan saw that what Pian Ruo said was true and not false, so she smiled and said: "So very good, it can be seen that Pian Ruo cherishes the palace people, I suddenly thought of a thing and happened to see Pian Ruo, I don't know if you have free time?" Pianruo leaned over and replied, "Please give orders to Concubine Frost." ”

Shuang Xuan said: "Si Lengxian Yujun begged the concubine to assign two palace maids to the dance platform to teach the maids, the concubine was worried that no one could think about it, and suddenly saw you, if you have always disciplined the palace people, why not choose two people for the palace to send to the dance stage." Pian Ruo knew that this must be Concubine Shuang's suspicions, so she didn't say much, and replied: "Yes, I will definitely not let Concubine Shuang worry about this matter, and I will immediately send it to Concubine Shuang's palace when the palace people decide." Concubine Shuang smiled and nodded, and said, "Pian Ruo is really willing to do her best for this palace." After speaking, he glanced at the palace person behind him, and a personal palace person immediately brought a cup of pearls to Pianruo. Pian Ruo took the reward of the frost concubine. Shuang Xuan led the palace people to walk on their own. Pian Ruo knew that Shuang Xuan had something to hide, but she didn't have a clue and it was inconvenient to do much, so she also returned to the service palace by herself to choose someone to send to the palace of the frost concubine.

The sky is gradually darkening into the night, and the Zhaoque Palace is full of colorful lights, and the light is reflected. The feast continued, and all the officials present were already a little drunk, such as Wang Te's unrestrained pleasure for the hundred officials, and some of the drunken people had been sent back to the dormitory or to the other hall of Zhaoque Palace to rest. For example, when the king returned to the main hall and the long years, Sheng Xun was familiar with the two royal monarchs to discuss political affairs, and Si Lengxian continued to drink and talk with several officials in the five realms by the lotus pond, only the two of Han Ting Yujun and Ling Zhen Yujun did not know where to go. Pian Ruo returned to the feast and inspected again, but still didn't see Ling Zhen Yujun, the sky was already dark, and there were palace people everywhere who began to light up all kinds of exquisite lamps and candles. In the morning, when Pian Ruo saw Ling Zhen's expression, there was no trace of joy, and she couldn't help but still feel a little worried, now the palace is brightly lit everywhere, everyone is there, but he is the only one who is missing. Secretly pondered for a while, and guessed the place where Ling Zhen Imperial Monarch might go.

The palace rules are set, and after the sky is dark, no one outside the palace can walk around the inner hall of the Zhaoque Palace. At this time, no matter how much Ling Zhen Yujun wanted to see Ning Yan, he couldn't enter and leave the Smoke Hall at will. There is only one place where you can see the Smoke Palace, that is, the highest place in the Zhaoque Palace, the Weiyue Pavilion, the stone platform corridor pavilion on the highest peak in the palace, where you can see the entire Smoke Palace. Pian Ruo hesitated, but still walked to the foot of the mountain, and saw a person standing on the mountain pavilion from a distance, and it was Ling Zhen Yujun.

Pian Ruo slowly walked up the stone steps, walking up step by step, and when she arrived at the Weiyue Pavilion, she unexpectedly saw that there was not only Ling Zhen Yujun, but there was also Han Ting Yujun sitting on one side. Seeing what the two of them were talking about, Pian Ruo regretted that he had come recklessly, so he had to bow and leave. As soon as the Han Ting Imperial Monarch saw Pian Ruo coming here, he knew what he meant, so he stood up and said: "The official waits for a while, this gentleman is just about to leave, Ling Zhen is a little drunk, and the official servant can just persuade him." Then he got up and walked slowly down the mountain.

Ling Zhen leaned over slightly to send the Han Thunder Imperial Monarch down the mountain, then glanced at Pian Ruo, who was a little at a loss, and asked, "Why did the official come here late at night?" Seeing that Ling Zhen was knowingly asking, Pian Ruo looked at Ling Zhen and replied: "It's me who has nothing to do to find right and wrong, and this extra move has disturbed the peace of the Imperial Monarch, so I will leave." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go down the mountain. How could Ling Zhen not know what Pianruo was thinking, seeing that she was angry and about to leave, and then said: "Pianruo, it will be very busy these days, you have to rest more." ”
