Li Huang

I stopped, thinking about how to deal with the past. At this time, a familiar voice sounded in the night sky. Hearing this sound, I turned around abruptly, and the same familiar figure approached me not far away, and a small smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

Seeing the figure who had been with me for more than ten years walking towards here, she said in a clear and beautiful voice: "Xiao Rongzi, why have you been here for a long time? I'm so anxious."

"Are you?" the leader of the guard asked Haoyue, but his tone was no longer the harsh one.

Haoyue came and handed her waist badge, and said, "I am Haoyue, the maid of Kunning Palace. This is the little Rongzi in the palace. This afternoon, the empress lost a hairpin while walking in the Royal Garden. My wife’s beloved thing, she asked Xiao Rongzi to look for it, but she didn’t think he had been looking for it for so long."

The guard looked at me and then at Haoyue. Just about to say something, Haoyue turned her head to me and pretended to be anxious and said, "Why have you been there for so long? Didn't you find it? You must have a rest."

I hurriedly responded, "I found it, it's too dark at night, I've been searching for it for a long time."

"Found it? Then show me." The guard held out his hand in front of me. But where can I have any hairpin for him.

Of course Haoyue could see clearly, and then stepped forward and scolded: "Bold, is your mother's personal belongings that you can use whatever you want? If you don't believe me, just let me see your mother. But..."

She sneered, "I'm not sure if you can afford the crime of disturbing your mother's rest?"

The guard hesitated for a while, and Dui smiled and said, "I am confused. Since I am looking for something for the empress, I will go back. However, walking in Ouchi late at night is against the palace rules."

Seeing him say this, Haoyue naturally put on a smile, "That is, this lady will punish herself. If you have trouble, please bear with me." The guard nodded and led the team away.

I followed Haoyue, and both of them remained silent until I entered the door of Kunning Palace. When Xiao Fuzi closed the door, Haoyue suddenly turned around and knelt in front of me.

"Haoyue, what are you?" I was a little panicked.

"Miss, you know it made us all anxious." Haoyue cried and said.

I lifted her up and murmured: "I am sorry for you, it is me."

Haoyue looked at my expression, "Miss, we didn't mean to blame you. It's just that this is too dangerous. There is no one around you..."

Her words were interrupted by a gesture of mine, "I'm very tired, I want to sleep."

Haoyue stopped talking and quickly helped me into the Dongnuan Pavilion.

The faint scent of lilies has already burned in the Dongnuan Pavilion. Haoyue took off my clothes for me, frowning and said, "This material is very crude. The lady has worn it for so long. Look, the skin has been rubbed red."

"How can it be as serious as you said."

"Miss, don't do this anymore in the future, Haoyue is very worried."

I nodded, walked to the window and sat down.

Haoyue walked to me, "Ms. Isn't she hungry? I'm making a purple jade lily porridge, and I'm simmering it slowly. Would you like some?"

I shook my head, "First get some hot water, I want to take a bath." Haoyue went down to prepare, I put on a light pink robe of Shu brocade and sat down in front of the window.

The bright moonlight shone on an acacia tree in the front courtyard, I stared at it, and the faces of many people passed in front of my eyes-my father said earnestly on the eve before I entered the palace, and asked me to understand why I entered the palace; my mother smiled reluctantly , But said my blessings, but I clearly heard her crying and telling my father why I should go to such a place; there are also elder brothers and second elder brothers, but there are hidden expressions of resentment in that joy; although I haven't seen the third brother, but I can think of what the third brother will be like.

And he... I couldn't help but smile, but at the same time we shed tears.

Finally, when I thought that all the faces that held a place in my heart had passed, a majestic but gentle face appeared in my mind-"Isn't it tired to squat all the time?"

He smiled and said to me...I smiled, and today I can see that his literary talent is also excellent.

Just thinking about it, Haoyue pushed the door in and smiled at me, "Ready, miss."

I nodded, smiled and stood up.

Haoyue helped me press the overworked skin on my body, while chatting with me, talking about some recent news in the palace.

At this time, Huiju and Yumei brought water in, "Manny, add some hot water."

After I nodded, Huiju picked up a copper basin and poured hot water into it, and my body felt warm.

I suddenly remembered the investigation of the palace today, and turned my head to look at Haoyue who was washing my hair, "Did anyone come here today to check for something?"

Haoyue curled up my hair, then reached out and picked up some petals and wiped it on my body, and said nonchalantly: "Someone came to investigate, but nothing, it's all over."

"How do you call it nothing?"

"Miss, it really doesn't matter. Didn't the emperor look for the woman he saw before in the harem, but we don't have one here, they naturally checked and left."

Huiju brought new petals, and then said, "Don't tell me, we were terrified at first. Mr. Zhang had been to our Kunning Palace before. Although the empress saw him through the screen that time, she was still worried about her voice. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang was asked by the emperor to do something else today. We let Ziying wear a set of casual clothes for her to deal with it."

"That's good." I hissed.

Haoyue and Huiju laughed: "Actually, even if Manager Zhang comes, they are not afraid. Those people entered Kunning Palace with their front feet. As soon as Ziying sat down, she hadn't spoken yet. The people of Concubine Liu came and said Concubine Liu. If they inquire in detail, how dare they refuse to follow it, so they hurried away."

I got up and put on the gauze, Huiju wiped my hair, I glanced at myself in the big mirror, smiled and said to them: "It's just over, I should give you some rewards. Haoyue, you go Distribute the Taihu beads that I brought from my natal family to everyone."

It was night, lying in the quilt for a long time and couldn't sleep. Huiju left a light unextinguished at my order, and there was a figure shaking outside the window, and I sat up with my clothes, "Who is it?"

Haoyue walked in with a plate, and I looked at her, "What's the matter, you still don't sleep at this late hour?"

Haoyue smiled, "Thinking that the lady is tired today, but seeing this light is still on, I have prepared something to relieve fatigue and brought it over, as well as a pot of water for fear that you will be thirsty at night."

As he said, put down the plate and walked to me, "I didn't expect you to really not sleep, Miss."

I took Haoyue's hand, "Tell me, how did you deal with the past today?"

Haoyue smiled disapprovingly, "It's really nothing big. It's the same as I told the young lady before. The main reason is that Zhang Dehai didn't come, otherwise it would definitely not be so easy to fool around."

I nodded, then relieved my heart. He reached out and asked Haoyue to hand me a snack, a little hungry.

"In this way, Concubine Liu has helped us a lot."

Haoyue sat in and got closer to me, "Miss, there is nothing wrong with going out today? I see you always thinking about things alone when you come back."

I shook my head: "It's nothing, it's just a delay in coming back."

Haoyue said "Oh", stopped and looked at me, hesitating to say nothing.

"Miss," she finally said, "Today is going out..." She stopped again.

I took a bite and waited for her to finish.

"Miss went out today to send Prince Yu off?" Haoyue finally plucked up the courage to finish.

I chewed the Ruyi Crisp and nodded for a while.

Haoyue didn't say anything, I raised my head and stared at her, "Haoyue, I won't do such a thing again, for the Ling family and myself."

"Miss..." Haoyue looked at me with clear eyes, and then smiled softly, "Miss, you have been tired all day, go to sleep."

I nodded, she got up to blow out the lamp, "Haoyue, keep it."

Haoyue looked back at me, "Well, you should rest soon."

When she closed the door, I got up and walked to the desk to pick up the pen. The events that happened today are vividly visible. I closed my eyes and calmed my mind. I drew on the paper carefully, then dried it carefully, holding the paper and looking around to find a place to store it. My eyes were not concealed enough wherever I could, and finally my eyes fell on the rosewood chest of drawers standing in the corner.

Use the key to open the bottom layer of the chest of drawers. Inside, there is a small wooden box, very ordinary, but it contains my most precious objects. I folded the paper into a small piece, put it under all the objects in the wooden box, and then carefully locked it. After looking at it, he walked back to the bed and lay down in his clothes.

The next day, Haoyue came to wake me up and served me dressing up. This is a light blue skirt, the simplest style, only a layer of white tulle outside the spokes. All the hair was coiled up and set with a white jade hairpin. After wearing it, it feels very elegant and elegant.

I stopped my breakfast and came to the apse. I haven't concentrated on drawing anything for a long time. Haoyue and Xinlan prepared pens and inks for me. Haoyue grinds finely on the side, and Xinlan prepares other paints.

I picked up a pen and sketched on the paper. Haoyue smiled and asked me: "What do you want to paint today? Let Xinlan prepare the colors."

I tilted my head and thought for a while, "The spring breeze knows you don't suffer, don't condemn the wicker green. Just paint this."

"Good poem, Niang Niang." Xin Lan said and looked at Haoyue.

Haoyue raised her head, "Isn't that?"

I laughed too, the whole apse was full of laughter.

Xiao Fuzi brought the tea in and looked at us unclearly. Haoyue asked him to bring the tea to the side table. After he put it down, he hinted that Yi Haoyue was going out, Haoyue glanced at me and walked out.

I saw them whispering for some reason, raised their eyebrows and said, "Little Fuzi, you come in." He heard them hurriedly walk in, standing not far in front of me with his head down. I put aside the pen, wiped my hands with the kerchief that Xinlan handed over, walked to him and said sternly, "It seems that the pipe near the Japanese palace is a bit loose, so you dare to see me gone. ?"

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly knelt down, "The slave dare not, the slave asks the mother to punish him."

I looked at him and then at Haoyue, "What's the matter?"

Haoyue walked to my side and was about to talk, but I stopped her with a gesture, "You say, Xiao Fuzi."
