Li Huang

"That's the case, but she was demoted and everything was either put into storage or destroyed. But the dress was gone. Someone said that after the dress was left in Xinghua Spring Hall that day, no one took it back. But Xinghuachun is gone."

"Which palace maid or guard took it secretly." I put the cup down and said casually: "After all, Lady Li is in a good family situation, and the things she brought into the palace are of course valuable. The clothes are liked by the emperor, and they must be exquisite. ."

"It's indeed very beautiful." Haoyue bit her lip: "The embroidery is extremely beautiful. She wore it when she first met in the palace. It was a lotus-blue embroidered peach dress. The peach blossoms were embroidered in shades of pink, so gorgeous. Fangwu. It’s just that I just glanced at it from a distance, not close."

"Your embroiderer is also very good. If you praise it, then it must be very good." I smiled lightly: "I don't know if there are such good embroiderers among the folks."

Haoyue said, "Yeah", "Someone also asked about it. Wu Meiren, the daughter of Mrs. Wu, the prefect of Anyang who came with her, said that it was the best embroiderer in their city, and that Mrs. Li's family was rich, then The embroidery embroidered by Xiuniang is almost rounded."

I was silent. Miss Wu also had one, but she didn't say it. I'm afraid I want to wait for the limelight to pass, and then take it out to win the emperor's eye.

But as a result, Haoyue couldn't see the skirt temporarily. I let go of my hanging heart. Haoyue is very familiar with my embroidery work. If she sees it, she will know that I embroider. He would probably guess that the clothes should have been taken away by Shen Xiyao. In this way, she will feel that I have a heavy weight in Shen Xiyao's heart, which is not good for me.

"Your embroidery is also very good. If you make a few unique pieces with your heart, the emperor will definitely pay attention to you." I changed the subject and comforted her.

A look of sorrow appeared on Haoyue's face: "No, there are so many beautiful women around the emperor, why would you pay attention to me in particular."

"Don't you have the emperor's attention." I filled the empty glass in her hand and patted her on the shoulder lightly: "You are no worse than the concubine in the palace. You want the emperor's heart, except Give it your heart, but also find ways to make him feel that although you are an old person, you feel like a new person."

Haoyue got up and gave me a slight salute: "Thank you for your teachings, Miss."

I hurriedly helped her up, and suddenly thought of what she had said before, and asked casually: "I remember you just said that although Lady Li is more beautiful than Huang promised, she is much worse than Yi Zhaorong. This Yi Zhaorong ,who is it?"

"Oh, she is the emperor's most beloved concubine now. She entered the palace a few years earlier, and has not been noticed in Ye Ting. Last year, she accidentally met with the emperor. In the past year, she has been in the limelight. From the beauty Jin Jieyu, and Being promoted to Zhaorong on the Longevity Festival is very glorious." Haoyue's face was obviously envied, and she was also dissatisfied with her own situation.

I understand that I can only advance to the next level unless I am pregnant or have merit. What's more, Beauty and Jieyu are more than one level. But nowadays, he can go beyond repairing appearance, repairing rituals, and repairing hua, and directly named Zhaorong. Although they are all four-ranks, there is generally a distinction between appearance repairing, ritual repairing, and huahua.

And the grace of this Jin Feng is under the Longevity Day, which is much more glorious than other Jin Feng. It seems that Shen Xiyao really loves this Yi Zhaorong.

"What kind of person is this Yi Zhaorong?" I asked.

"She..." Haoyue tilted her head and glanced at me carefully, as if she didn't know how to answer.

"The emperor likes her very much?" I suddenly felt a little cold, so I pulled the thin sheet on the bed and put it on myself, and said casually.

"Yeah..." Haoyue nodded slightly: "Most of the time she was called to sleep in a month, and she pointed to the Changchun Palace to live alone for her, and she must see it every day."

I wondered: "She is pregnant?"

Haoyue looked at me in astonishment: "Why would the young lady think like this, if she is pregnant... how can the emperor summon her for luck."

"Without pregnancy, he becomes the master of the first house. The emperor visits her day by day. It seems that the emperor really likes her." I lowered my head, a little bit of sourness in my heart for some reason.

"The emperor also went to see the young lady every day." Haoyue's voice lowered, not looking at me, as if she said to herself: "Unfortunately, I was no longer with the young lady at that time. On the contrary, it is better to see Huiju and the others. To Miss."

My heart was moved, Haoyue fell in love with Shen Xiyao that day, but I just pushed the boat along the water, and wanted to use her to replace the woman Shen Xiyao saw on the moonlit night, so I could continue to escape the world. But I didn't want to, it didn't take long for Shen Xiyao to find me, and Haoyue lost the opportunity to be loved. Even, because of Shen Xiyao's special love to me, as a moon beauty, it is not as easy for her to see the emperor as to be a maid in Kunning Palace. And the person in love, in fact, what I hope most is to see the "him" in my heart every day?

I don't know if Haoyue blames me in this matter.

"That Yi Zhaorong is beautiful, right?" I turned the subject back.

"Well, she is very beautiful, but the most attractive thing is her character, which is very dignified and gentle. For this reason, the emperor personally inscribed a plaque for the Changchun Palace, the title is'Shen Shu is gentle.' Compared to promotion, this It is the greatest grace." Haoyue's tone was full of envy.

I thought for a while and said: "You said, she has been in the palace for a long time?"

Haoyue said, "Hmm", "She is a beautiful girl who was selected into the palace before the emperor's wedding. She has always lived in Yeting. Because of the arrangement of the queen mother, the emperor has not even seen it." Haoyue explained.

I pondered: "This Yi Zhaorong, are you familiar with it?"

"I can't talk about familiarity, but every time she meets, she will greet you a few words. She doesn't have the air of favoring a concubine. Therefore, she is also very popular in the harem." Haoyue whispered: "She feels very comfortable when she laughs. "When she said the last sentence, her tone was very gentle, and I heard her love for that Yi Zhaorong from the bottom of her heart. It's no wonder that if a woman who can be loved like Shen Xiyao, she must have her own charm.

"Haoyue," I took her hand: "I told you before, find someone to rely on, and now I still say this." I looked straight at her: "If you like this Yi Zhaorong, then you might as well. Approach her. I am destined to be alone here for life, and if you have an ally in this harem, at least someone can speak openly and help you share some of it." I closed my eyes: "This is so happy to accommodate the holy family. So deep, naturally she will not be accepted by other favorite concubines such as Concubine Liu. She has just been promoted and her foundation is unstable and needs allies. At this time, you will be accepted if you go to seek refuge.

Haoyue shook her head, with tears in her eyes: "I grew up with the young lady, and I really don't know how to accept others. As long as I can see the young lady often, I will be willing to spend my life with the young lady in this cold palace."

Although I have a little suspicion for her in my heart, her sincerity at this time made the hearers cry, and I naturally suppressed the doubt.

"If you really don't want to rely on her, then be careful with her." My tone was serious, but Haoyue didn't understand, she looked at me puzzled.

"I don't know the origin of Yi Zhaorong, but it is definitely not bad, but it won't be too good."

"How did the young lady know?" Haoyue looked surprised.

"You think, if she is from a bad background, she won't be given the position of beauty when she enters the palace." I explained: "However, if she is from a good background, the emperor will take care of her mother's house, so naturally she will not be allowed to enter the palace. Fortunately, she has not been summoned. So, I can only say that her family is not very important to the emperor.

Haoyue nodded with enlightenment: "The young lady is right. Her father is a fifth-grade civil servant and has no real power. What does the lady want me to be careful of?"

"She is of average origin, and it is naturally difficult to walk in this palace. How about the emperor's pampering? Without strong cousins, she is no better than those concubines from big families. Therefore, she can only love with her heart. Supporting the family. People who want to be pampered must have a complicated mind."

Haoyue's eyes dodge a little, but she still smiled slightly: "I think Yi Zhaorong looks like a simple and kind person."

"If you think about it, she hasn't been noticed by the emperor for so long in the palace, how could she suddenly get favored? According to you, she met the emperor accidentally, but the concubine who meets the emperor'unintentionally' every day must not Shao, why did the emperor dote on her alone?" I looked at Haoyue, with regret and oppression in my eyes.

"So, either she is really lucky. Or, it was a deliberate encounter for a long time." I reminded again: "Although I don't know how beautiful this Yizhao is, but she can make the emperor love her so much. It can only explain that she is not simple."

Haoyue nodded: "Thank you, Miss for your guidance." She hesitated for a while, and then stopped talking, but finally did not say anything.

"What's the matter?" I saw her frowning slightly, knowing she had something to say in her heart.

"It's nothing, miss." She smiled, and handed me a cup: "Miss drink some water."

I was puzzled in my heart and didn't care about the cup, so I raised my head and drank it. But it is wine, pear honey stuffed. I was surprised that people who are pregnant cannot drink alcohol. However, I took a look at the small cup in my hand, so it shouldn't matter.

"Actually I think..." When Haoyue saw me drinking, her eyes were a little relieved. She seemed to think twice before finally speaking. "I think there is only one reason why Yi Zhaorong is able to make the emperor love so much."

My heart was frightened for some reason, as if I knew what Haoyue was about to say. I tried to calm a beating heart, but in my mind, the woman I saw in the imperial garden suddenly appeared. Zijuan called her "Sister Yi", could it be...

"The first time I saw Yi Zhaorong, I felt that she looked like a person." Haoyue's voice suddenly became a little sharp, and there was more sharpness in her eyes.

"Who..." My voice sounded trembling, and my heart was beating a drum.

"Like you." Haoyue paused and said solemnly.

It seemed that most of my strength had been taken away, and I tried to stand still, and I lowered my eyes: "Impossible. If you are like me, how could the emperor like her?"

"Miss, since you stopped appearing at the harem feast, the emperor said that you were ill. After recuperating in Pengdao Yaotai, the new favorites are more or less similar to you." Haoyue's voice She was unwilling, even she could see it in her eyes.

"The emperor hates me so much, how could he like a woman who is similar to me." I shook my head with a wry smile: "You don't understand, the emperor hates me too late..."

"I don't understand. Why do you still appear in front of the emperor because you are affectionate with the prince? Why do you want to assassinate him after you betrayed him? Since you left the palace, why did you come back!" Haoyue's voice was stern, looking towards My eyes are full of resentment. She was trembling, like a reed swaying in the wind, with her hands clenched tightly, and even her muscles and bones came out.
