"Unexpectedly, it was Chen Changzai." I smiled at her with a smile: "My palace is so fascinating. No wonder the emperor likes it." Then he took off the carved pomegranate ruby ​​bracelet on her wrist and handed it to her: " There is nothing in this palace to reward you. If you don't say anything beside this bracelet, it's better than the engraver's meaning. This palace hopes that you will laugh like this pomegranate, and you will be the emperor early."

Chen Chang was overjoyed, bowed and took it, put it on his wrist, and then bowed again before returning to his seat.

Shen Xiyao glanced at the pomegranate bracelet, and said to Zhang Dehai: "I remember Rouran gave a tribute to a pomegranate brocade, so I will give it to Chen Changzai." He said, casting a gentle look at Chen Changzai. : "Since the queen wants you to have the emperor's heir early, then you will be the one who sleeps tonight."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone murmured. After Shen Xiyao returned, the first person to attend the bed was not me, not Huifei, but it was the little one who was always there.

Chen Chang was busy kneeling to thank his gratitude, his face covered in spring breeze couldn't hide it, and the subsequent banquet kept attracting attention.

After three rounds of wine, the crabs were almost eaten, and Shen Xiyao went back to Yangxindian to handle government affairs, and the table was gone. The concubines retired one by one. Concubine Hui departed first, but Concubine Yi went and returned.

At that time, I had changed into a home-made blue crepe robe of lake water and made ink after the rosewood case in the west side hall. Concubine Yi walked in wearing a brilliant autumn light and said with a smile: "I am willing, the concubine remembers that the bracelet is the emperor. I ordered them to sculpt a few and selected them for the empress to enjoy."

I put aside the pen, but the mood has not been recovered for a while, just watched her approach and give a salute, and then held up a piece of rice paper on the table and read: "Long song cherish the willows, the heart of the homeland, the memory of thousands of miles, the double ninth time. The pipa still sings in the moonlight. , Yuhuan Weishou. Broken bridge water, autumn grass dew, the sound of wild geese remains the same. Sijun, just like a short fence flower thin. Chonglou towards the serval, leaning against the high lamp, difficult to care, Guanshan stars. The scented daisy is worthy of appreciation, and the powder Zhikou. Absolutely dust, unloading the cloak, who will hold your hand with? Inquire about love, a few glasses of rice wine." After reading the Yifei concubine, praised: "The empress's poem is really good, I want to miss the emperor before."

I took her to sit on the Arhat’s couch under the window, poured a cup of tea for her personally, and said with a smile: "You remember the things in this palace, and this palace really forgot. Now I will give it to the emperor. Go out, but you won’t come back.” Later Chao Huiju said: “Next time, I have to remind this palace, don’t throw out the good things like this.”

Huiju chuckled and said, "The empress has always been the best, and there are a lot of good things out."

Concubine Yi knew that I was joking, so she took a piece of chrysanthemum cake and ate it: "The concubine also happened to see that the emperor thought the first string was not of good quality, and the second string was poorly carved. , Then I knew it was given to the empress.” She said with envy: “The emperor is really enviable to the empress.”

I smiled disapprovingly: "It's not my palace that is envied by the palace now."

Concubine Yi sighed: "Today she is in the limelight, and she gets this honor again. I don't know what will happen in the future."

I don't care: "Why is she, there is the palace, what are you afraid of." I picked up the fan on the table, rubbed the bones of the mahogany fan and said, "The emperor's move will undoubtedly put her on the charcoal fire. This way. My palace knows how it feels like."

Concubine Yi nodded: "I'm afraid it is the first person to be dissatisfied." She paused and said, "It's just that the concubine feels strange. After all, the concubine Yue is your family girl. After many years in Xiangfu, don't you know how to eat? crab?"

I looked out the window at the pavilion chrysanthemum that was as bright as the golden sun, remembering the worry-free time with Haoyue in the Ling Mansion, and thinking that she had harmed me repeatedly for no reason, but felt cold all over my body. I said coldly: "She still did a lot of research on this back then. Maybe she has been in the palace for many years, so forget it."

Concubine Yi "Huh" said: "Then she is really puzzling to show her clumsiness today."

I smiled: "I'm afraid I was going to find another way to attract the emperor's attention, and I don't want to lose Chen Changzai's humiliation. I'm probably annoyed at the moment."

Concubine Yi smiled faintly: "Yue noble has always been cautious, and it is estimated that there are tears alone."

I didn't want to continue talking about the two of them, so I turned the topic to Linglong, which caused Yi Fei to talk and laugh.

After that, Chen Changzai stayed in bed for two more days. In the early morning of the third day, the little **** heard that Chen Chang was in Jinzheng Seventh-Rank Baolin and gave it to Manyin Pavilion. When the Sixth Palace invited in the morning, everyone was discussing the matter. When Chen Baolin came in, he wore a new brocade dress with grapes, purple, gold and wishful makeup, and his head was full of gold and jade, and the whole body was full of riches and lilac and purple silver silk cotton gown. Concubine's Yi Fei has been compared.

She couldn't conceal her pride and arrogance in her words and demeanor. A beauty next to her couldn't get her straight eyes when she talked to her. She only agreed with Concubine Hui and made her stand clear.

After that, Shen Xiyao flipped the Huifei brand for two consecutive nights, followed by Yifei, followed by Liu Shuyi, Li Zhaohua, Deng Jieyu, and several new promises. In this way, since he returned from his own recruitment, he has not summoned me for half a month.

The weather is getting colder, it’s night, I sit by Xuan'er’s bed and gently cover him with a quilt, Huiju whispered: "Manny, the emperor turned over the sign of Yueguiren tonight. It's almost a month now. Empress can get it. Think of a way."

I paused when I filmed Xuan'er's movements, and endured the anxiety and sorrow in my heart, and said lightly: "It is a good thing that the rain and dew in the harem can be covered by rain and dew. What can I do with this palace?" After saying this, Youyou sighed: "I'm afraid it's where the palace has no intention of offending It’s impossible to resolve it after the emperor."

Hui Ju questioned: "The empress has been cautious, and she has not had any discomfort with the emperor. Could it be that the empress declined to meet the emperor that day?"

Her words lit up my thoughts instantly like a flash of lightning, but I declined to be courteous, Shen Xiyao would not be so stingy, not to mention that I ended up going that day, he shouldn't mind. The emperor's heart really cannot be guessed.

I shook my head: "Who knows. Forget it, I want to be here for a while. The day after tomorrow is fifteen. According to the ancestral system, the emperor will always come, and then think of a way to turn around."

Huiju said "No" and went down. I kissed Xuan'er's sleeping little face softly, bringing a little warmth to my cold heart.

Early in the morning, the north wind kept blowing like a whistle. I sat under the west window of the apse while making a cloak, while watching the mothers take Xuan'er to play Dendrobium, the wind grew stronger, the sand and stones hit the window and made a "crack" sound, The windows were blown open by the wind, and the trees in the small garden outside were trembling with the wind, falling to the ground with dilapidated flowers and leaves, and being blown up and scattered by the wind, like a helpless and late woman, unable to withstand any damage .

The anxiety in my heart surged again, and I only felt that the sky was so gloomy that I couldn't breathe. Xuan'er burst into tears, accompanied by the crying wind, which made my heart tighten.

"Niang, you just made it in the small kitchen, try it." Huiju brought a plate of honey melon seeds and crisp, although smiling, her eyes revealed to me that there was something to report.

I took a bite and tasted it, and said to Zhilan, "It tastes good, I will give Xuan'er a little bit, and I will reward you for the rest." After talking, I got up and said, "Let Xuan'er sleep for a while and play for a whole morning. Tired." Then he hugged Xuan'er and kissed his tender cheek before returning to the front hall.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

Huiju replied in a low voice: "Just now, Fusheng came quietly to spread a message. This morning, the emperor received a secret message that seemed to be about the empress. The emperor was very angry after seeing it."

I was stunned. The secret message about me? Shen Xiyao is very angry? I couldn't help but play the drums, and what I did with Shen Xiyao on his back would make him unpleasant.
