Li Huang

"Good name." He took out the flute and played. Outside the tall Yanbo Pavilion, with the Bibo beside him, he is not like a prominent prince, but like a secluded person.

However, even if others don't understand, I also know that he, like the second brother, is a fierce general on the battlefield with a strong soldier in his hand.

Once his father urged him to guard him in the southwest, Emperor Zhangxuan had a rift with his father.

In the peaceful and prosperous age, Emperor Zhangxuan did not want to be out of his hands, so he let him be responsible for the safety of Gyeonggi.

I just sat there quietly, looking at him through the curtain. I have heard my second brother talk about the bravery and resourcefulness of King Yu on the battlefield, and I have also heard people in the palace talk about his talent and easygoing. I once again forgot who I am and where I am.

"Why did the girl come to this nine-song gallery? Don't all the concubines like Qifengtai?" When the song was not over, he suddenly stopped and asked me.

I was taken aback and blurted out: "Why doesn't the prince finish it?"

He did not speak, waiting for my answer. I stood up and walked to the railing, looking at Qifeng Terrace in the distance, as if seeing the Yixiangyun temple there, and then faintly asked: "Why are you going?"

When it was his turn to stop talking, I continued: "For the emperor's pity? I don't need it. It's not a bad thing to be ordinary in the palace."

He nodded, "I was wrong. The girl's character should not be contemptuous to compete with those women."

I smiled silently, but saw him stand up and pat the dust on his body, and turned to face the inside of the pavilion, "Girl, let's say goodbye in the next place. It's not too late to have lunch with the emperor brother today."

"The prince is going well." I saluted slightly, and he turned and left with a smile.

When his figure disappeared from my sight, I sat down again and sighed how fast time passed, as if only a moment had passed. I touched the jade magnolia hairpin in my arms, showing a knowing smile.

Before I got to Kunning Palace, I saw a large group of palace ladies and eunuchs standing outside the palace gate from a distance. I was shocked, seeing that the dress of those palace ladies was not what the emperor's side dressed, and I felt a little settled.

However, if it is not the emperor, then who else in this palace can have such a posture? I slowed down, and my heart suddenly became clear: In this palace, besides her, who else can?

"This Kunning Palace is really good." As soon as I arrived at the palace gate, I heard a clear voice saying.

In the distance, Zi Ying Xin Lan Yu Mei Hui Ju and Xiao Fu Zi Xiao Lu Zi Xiao Xi Zi stood respectfully outside the main hall gate, Haoyue and Xiao Rong Zi must have been looking for me. Xiao Fuzi saw me sharp-eyed, and was about to say something "See the Queen Empress", I gave him a "hush" gesture and motioned him not to say anything.

"My sister laughed, how can it compare to your Zhaoyang Palace?" Another voice said, accompanied by laughter.

I secretly smiled, looked down at the dress of the court lady on my body, and thought to myself, it seems that I am going to play Haoyue again today. Fortunately, the days in this palace are still a bit fun. However, this Concubine Liu is also interesting. It seems that she felt boring when she came by herself last time. This time she brought other concubines to Kunning Palace to "play".

I looked around. There are quite a few women in this yard, but most of them are maids dressing up. Two of them look like concubines. The headed ones are dressed in light green brocade dresses with fluttering willow leaves, with only simple jade on their heads. The accessories are simple but more graceful.

A woman next to her was dressed in a cherry pink palace dress with intricate hibiscus flowers embroidered on it. But it is "the landscape hibiscus is more beautiful, and the willow will be the most graceful."

It seems that the woman in green dress should be the concubine Liu most beloved by the emperor today, and the woman in pink dress should be any other concubine who is rightly favored.

However, Concubine Liu's dress is so simple today, I am afraid it is mostly because she is pregnant, so it is not the dress that Concubine should be, and it is a bit less colorful.

"An Guibi's words are wrong." Concubine Liu gently placed her hand on her belly, "How can this Kunning Palace be bad? This is where the queen lives."

Her tone accentuated on the word Queen, with an imperceptible smile on her face.

"My sister said something wrong." The man smiled awkwardly, "Sister, don't blame it."

"Who are you?" A maid beside Concubine Liu saw me standing in the courtyard and asked sternly.

I stepped forward quickly and gave a slight salute to Concubine Liu, "See Concubine Liu, see Concubine An."

"Well, get up." Concubine Liu's voice came, full of heights, "Who are you?"

I wanted to laugh in my heart, but I lowered my head and said, "The servant girl is the maid of Kunning Palace, called Haoyue."

"Oh. You go to inform your master, that Concubine Liu is here." She looked around at the layout of Kunning Palace, without looking at me at all.

"Hui Niangniang, Empress Niangniang is not in the palace now. Niangniang will go to the Jingxin Temple in the palace every day at this time, and the slave maidservant is here to learn the scriptures for the empress."

"Jingxin Nunnery?" Na An Guiren laughed loudly. "This queen is also true. There is obviously a Mingjingtang dedicated to the Buddha in the palace, so I have to go to Jingxin Nunnery next to the cold palace."

What she wanted to say was stopped by Concubine Liu's look.

"Let's go." Concubine Liu said and turned around, took a deep look at me, then turned to other people: "I am a little tired after being out for so long."

"Gong Niang Niang." I bowed, watching Concubine Liu, An Guibing and their entourage disappear outside the gate of Kunning Palace, then straightened up and walked into the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Huiju and the others walked in, Ziying stepped forward and bowed to say something, but I stopped by a gesture.

"Huiju, help me change my clothes, let the others go down and work on it." I walked to the Dongnuan Pavilion, while instructing, I picked off the hairpin on my head.

Under the service of Huiju, I put on a white silk brocade dress with fish swimming in the lotus, "Where are Haoyue and Xiao Rongzi?"

I picked up the wooden comb and combed my long hair. Huiju picked out a white jade koi longhairpin.

"Niang, when Concubine Liu came, Haoyue and Xiao Rongzi went to find you. It's been half an hour since this lunch, would you like to use some now?"

Huiju wrapped my loose hair, inserted hairpins, and asked when looking at me in the bronze mirror.

"Bring it up. Let Ziying and Xiao Luzi go and find them again." I stood up and took a picture in the mirror, and my smile couldn't help but float up.

"Why is the mother so happy?" Yumei brought the food, looked at me smiling in front of the mirror, and asked with a smile.

"Oh, nothing." I was a little flustered, so I hurried to sit down at the table, took a bite of the dish, and nodded, "Well, good."

"Niang Niang, how can you salute Concubine Liu today? How can you say that you are also the queen." Huiju came in with tea, and asked somewhat puzzledly.

"How can I say that I am a queen in your clothes? Wouldn't it make Concubine Liu and the others laugh even if I wear that kind of clothes and say that I am a queen?" I smiled slightly, "This is the second time Concubine Liu is here. ?"

"Yes, Niang. You were not here last time." Huiju replied, "The last time Concubine Liu came by herself. However, I didn't enter the main hall two times, but stayed in the courtyard for a while."

I nodded, "If the queen is not there, she naturally can't enter the main hall. No matter how much Concubine Liu is spoiled, she can't go beyond the palace ceremony. What's more, the fame of our Ling family in the court is much greater than that of her Liu family, and she will naturally be a little taboo ."

"But, I heard that the emperor promised to marry Princess Anyang to Concubine Liu's younger brother a few days ago." Hui Ju said with some worry.

I smiled disapprovingly, "Princess Anyang is the emperor’s cousin. His father, Anping, has no power in the court, regardless of political affairs. He is a man of idle clouds and wild cranes. Among the brothers of the first emperor, he is the least ambitious. Besides, the emperor naturally does not want to see another'Ling Family' in this dynasty, does he?"

I took a sip of tea and looked out the window, "Haoyue and Xiao Rongzi haven't come back yet?"

"I'm looking for it, Niang. I think they don't know that you have returned to the palace, so they are looking around." Huiju filled me with tea, "The slave and maid let Xiaofuzi go again."

I waved my hand, "No, there are too many people and too much movement, okay. When Haoyue comes back, let her come."

"Yes, Niang Niang." Hui Ju finished speaking.

My heart is inexplicably restless. I didn't see Haoyue on the way back, and Haoyue would come back if I hadn't seen me in Yanbo Pavilion, she knew I would not go anywhere else.

What happened? The more I think about it, the more disturbed. However, Haoyue is a cautious person, I told myself that there will be nothing, and there must be nothing.
