In the end, the emperor took the queen's hand and said to the queen, "These days are boring, let Rou'er accompany me to play a game of chess," the emperor looked back at the concubines, and just said, "You are all scattered." ”

For a while, everyone dispersed, and the emperor and the queen sat on the couch.

"Did I make Rou'er sad today?" The emperor asked when he saw the queen's listlessness.

"The concubine doesn't dare." The queen was busy.

"Don't dare?" The emperor held the queen's left hand, "That's still sad." ”

"No, it's just that seeing the emperor's deep love for Concubine Yuan's sister, the concubines are a little envious."

"Rou'er, I know that I haven't cared enough for you over the years. Your gentleness, your courtesy, your wisdom, your beauty, your thoughtfulness, I have lost too much to you. The emperor's voice was a little sad, "All I can promise you is the position of the queen, and I have embarrassed you all these years." ”

"The emperor should be evenly wet with rain and dew, so that the six palaces can be peaceful and the royal heirs can be extended." The Queen's voice trembled.

The emperor shook his head, "It's not about this, it's just that I can't control my heart." My heart stays there, never to be taken back. ”

"Your Majesty." The queen looked up and saw the emperor's helpless smile, and her heart ached. That person, the queen couldn't help but complain. No one in this world met Yuchen earlier than her Tang Rou, and no one loved Yuchen more than her Tang Rou. The queen bit her lip, why did that person, after monopolizing the emperor for more than ten years, still monopolize the emperor's heart.

The emperor interrupted her, "In my life, I have lost you, but I can't stand you." However, I can only promise you that no one in this harem and in this world can take your place, and no one can despise you. If you give birth to Lin'er in the future, my thousands of miles will be passed on to him. ”

"Thank you for your grace." The queen's body trembled slightly, and it was impossible to tell whether the tremor was due to resentment or excitement.

"Silly Nizi, it's not grace, it's just the only comfort I can give you." The emperor said in a low voice, "I just hope you don't blame me." The emperor took her in his arms and said no more.

The queen looked up into the emperor's eyes and said quietly, "I will guard you, and I will always guard you." Until, you forsake me. ”

The emperor kissed her eyes gently, and murmured whose name it was.

…… Dividing line ......

"What you said is true?" Concubine Yuan asked excitedly, her eyes dancing with joy.

Qin Yan, the eunuch in charge of Yongshou Palace, replied, "The slave listened to the little spirit son of Zhaoyang Palace, and the emperor did say these words. ”

"My heart stays there, and I can't get it back. Well, I didn't expect the emperor to be so affectionate, it's really a great fortune for the palace. Concubine Yuan called the maids beside her to reward Qin Yan.

"It's just that the status that the emperor has promised the queen ......," Concubine Yuan sighed slightly, "It's also difficult for this palace to be successful." ”

"Today, the Yonggui Feng clan collided with Niangniang, what is Niangniang going to do?" Zi'an thought that Han Qingyi had committed a taboo, and asked Concubine Yuan what she planned to do.

"Let's put it in for now." Concubine Yuan waved her hand, she would be in a good mood, where would she care about these little things.

Fengxiang Palace, in the east side of the palace.

The wind blows through the bamboo forest, and the rustling sound can really be good. Han Qingyi pushed open the window, and the shadow of Xiangfeizhu outside the window was reflected on her face. The wind of the autumn night was cool, and Han Qingyi stood in the wind.

Zuo Xuanyu sat at the table, kneeling at her feet.

"Peihan, how many years have you been in the palace?" Zuo Xuanyu glared at Pei Han.

"Back to the little master, the slave has been in the palace for three years." Pei Han replied in a low voice. The remaining few people lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, not even daring to come out of the atmosphere, and the entire hall was silent.

Zuo Xuanyu took two sips of tea and asked again: "Peihan, I don't know what is the most important thing for you to be slaves?" ”

"If you return to the little master, you will be faithful." The people underground replied in unison.

Zuo Xuanyu stared at Pei Han, "Which masters have you followed in the past three years?" ”

Pei Han panicked, "The slave has always worked in Chuxiu Palace, and she has never followed her master. ”

"So?" Zuo Xuanyu glanced at them coldly, "Then I'll tell you, the most important thing to be a slave is loyalty." You who are used to being slaves, do you know how other masters treat those half-hearted minions? I'm afraid that if I find a mistake, I will know that you are dead. ”

The palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied them looked abrupt, and said: "The servants will never dare to do anything that is sorry for the little master, and they must serve the little master loyally." ”

Zuo Xuanyu asked, "Peihan, you have been on an errand for three years, and you have seen a lot of things in the palace." Do you know what the concubines are taboo about? ”

"Back to the little master, Concubine Yuan Niangniang is the most taboo for other concubines to wear clothes similar to her."

"Very good, then why did you let Yongguiren wear moon-white clothes today?" Zuo Xuanyu couldn't help but be afraid when she thought of today's danger.

"The slave only knows that Concubine Yuan likes cyan clothes the most, and I don't know ......" Pei Han hurriedly distinguished.

Zuo Xuanyu was about to say something, but when she saw Han Qingyi who came back to her senses, she suddenly said, "Sister, forget it, it's not her fault." Said to Pei Han, "You didn't mean it, you don't have to be shocked, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"Sister." Zuo Xuanyu was stunned.

"Go down, all of you."

Pei Han was like an amnesty, and he was busy kowtowing to thank him.

"Sister, why are you still so good-natured?" Zuo Xuanyu pouted, "Sooner or later, one day they will climb on your head." ”

Han Qingyi shook his head and didn't speak.

"Sister, I didn't expect to see the emperor today." Zuo Xuanyu flicked the candle flame, and the bright and dark candle flame reflected on her face was very beautiful. "It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to like Concubine Yuan so much."

"Thunder and rain are not the emperor's grace, and the emperor has been fickle since ancient times. Who knows if there will be a second concubine in two or three years. Han Qingyi said with a smile.

"Could it be that my sister wants to be the second concubine?" Zuo Xuanyu teased.

"Beware of the ears on the wall." Han Qingyi didn't defend herself, she just pretended to cover her mouth.

"Sister, the emperor must have taken you seriously." Zuo Xuanyu came to a conclusion. "Maybe my sister will be announced to bed in a few days, and my sister won't forget my sister when the time comes."

"Well, I can't forget it." Han Qingyi was a little carried away with joy, and didn't notice that her expression was a little dazed.

Even after a few days, the emperor stayed in the queen's palace overnight, and Han Qingyi stayed at home except for going to Zhaoyang Palace every day to set the province at dawn and dusk. Every day, Han Qingyi is always in a daze. And Zuo Xuanyu stayed in Zhaoyang Palace every day to talk to the queen after dusk, and occasionally met the emperor every night. After a month, the little masters in Fengxiang Palace were not favored. In the early winter, the wind blows cold on the body, and the days in Fengxiang Palace are as cold as this winter day.

After another two or three days, I took a nap, and my eyes were clearly hazy. Pei Han took the palace maids Yalu, Linghuai, and Ping An to serve Han Qingyi and got up. Han Qingyi was completely sleepwalking. After dressing, I saw Zhao Hao, the inner supervisor, reporting Xiaoyi Zuo Xuanyu outside the door, promising Wei Tinglu that there were other Xu Cairen and Song Niangzi to come to see Han Qingyi.

Xu Cairen and Song Niangzi are both delicate and beautiful, quite beautiful. Zuo Xuanyu affectionately held Han Qingyi's arm, "The sun is just right today, is my sister willing to go to the garden with my sister to breathe the wind?" ”

It turned out that they were planning to go to the garden together, and they were coming to ask Han Qingyi to accompany them.

"Okay." Han Qingyi jumped up, she was so idle that she wanted to grow hair.

The west side of Fengxiang Palace, Qinghu.

The water of the lake is crystal clear, and the pebbles below are warm and silky. The surface of the water is like a mirror, and the surface of the water is sparkling. The faint clouds floating on the surface of the lake surrounded the concubines. It's not very real.

Surrounded by rare flowers and different plants, towering ancient trees, the wind and moon are boundless, and the beauty is breathtaking.

There are still fallen lotus flowers on the lake. The reeds by the lake are clustered, the reed flowers reflect the belt, the wind blows the leaves, and the sound is rustling.

"Sister, look, this scene has the artistic conception of 'leaving the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain'?" Wei Tinglu said with a smile.

"It's just a little cold." Zuo Xuanyu helped Han Qingyi, "It's a little lonely." ”

"Go that way, the garden of the Rainbow Palace. I heard that the white plum there hugged a few flower bones. Xu Cairen said suddenly.

"I heard that the little lord of Hongyu Palace, Murong went to bed last night." Wei Tinglu led everyone in the direction of Hongyu Palace.

"What's the matter, Sister Wei is jealous?" Zuo Xuanyu said, "Or my sister will also learn from that Murong sister to walk through the night and give a under the plum tree." ”

"Generally speaking, the result of attracting an owl in this way is more likely than that of attracting the emperor." Han Qingyi teased.

"By the way, when Sister Zuo greets the queen mother in Zhaoyang Palace every day, hasn't she seen the emperor many times? The emperor is not interested in you. Wei Tinglu asked.

"In that case, it's no different than visiting the main hall. It is estimated that the emperor regarded those little masters of the province at dawn and dusk as big turnips at that time. Han Qingyi completely exerted his poisonous tongue.

"It turns out that our Zuo Xiaoyi is such a tender and crisp big radish?" Xu Cairen has always been open-mouthed, and he will hide his mouth and smile.

Zuo Xuanyu didn't care, "It's coming soon, right?" ”

As he was talking, he saw a woman in palace clothes sitting by the pond, feeding the steamed buns in her hand to the koi in the pond. Zuo Xuanyu recognized that the woman was Murong Chelian, who had recently been crowned a talented person from the sixth grade. Looking closely, the little Lord Murong reflected the microwave on the water surface like a lotus fairy, bright and dignified. The palace maid standing beside her saw Zuo Xuanyu and a few people coming over and bowed busily, "See the little masters." ”

Murong Cairen came back to his senses but didn't get up, and smiled at Xuanyu, "Why does my sister have time to come to me today?" ”

Xuanyu smiled and pulled Han Qingyi over, "I heard that the white plum of your Hongyu Palace hugged a few flower bones, and our sisters are bored to come and see a fresh one." ”

Murong Cairen nodded and said, "Sister's Fengxiang Palace only has Xiangfei Bamboo, and it is deserted. Then he saw Han Qingyi and the others and asked, "What do you call these sisters?" My sister has never seen it. ”

Xuanyu introduced Han Qingyi and others to her.

Murong Cairen said to Han Qingyi, "Thinking that this sister is the sister of the Yongguiren who wore the same color as Concubine Yuan that day?" I still remember that the emperor praised you for your beautiful color and not inferior to the concubine, I don't know, can the emperor be lucky to sister recently? ”

Zuo Xuanyu frowned when she heard this, but Han Qingyi didn't care, "My qualifications are dull and haven't been favored by the emperor, but I heard that Murong is talented and romantic, and he is quite loved by the emperor?" ”

Suddenly, several shrill cries pierced the sky, and everyone looked up. I saw two black dots hovering in the air.

"It's the emperor," Murong Cairen stood up excitedly, looked at everyone's confused eyes and explained, "The emperor often takes two Haidongqing to play during the day, and it is estimated that this should be coming back from hunting, and he is coming here." Murong's smile was clearly displayed, and he shouted at the sky, "Hai'er, Dong'er is here." ”

Zuo Xuanyu gritted her teeth in Han Qingyi's ear, "Look at what she can." ”

But they never thought that the two Hai Dongqing really flew down at them. Murong Cairen turned around and instructed the palace maid beside him, "Mengqi, quickly prepare the meat strips." Hai'er and Dong'er are tired for a day, so they should be rewarded. ”

It wasn't until the two Hai Dongqing flew close that Zuo Xuanyu saw it clearly. The navy-blue eagle looked like a divine horse, with fierce eyes and bright feathers, shining like broken silver in the sun. Murong Cairen kept waving handkerchiefs at Hai Dongqing to summon them, but unfortunately, the two big birds went directly to Han Qingyi's arms. They rushed towards Han Qingyi from the sky, so frightened that Zuo Xuanyu hurriedly let go of the hand holding Han Qingyi. Not a hug, to be exact. One stood on top of Han Qingyi's head, looking forward to his life, completely ignoring the meat strips that Meng Qi brought; The other one landed on Han Qingyi's shoulder, and kept rubbing her cheek, screaming non-stop. Zuo Xuanyu and Wei Tinglu were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they didn't know what to do.

Murong Cairen shouted, "Sister be careful, don't fall on them, Hai'er and Dong'er are the emperor's most beloved ......"

Watch out for granny paws! Han Qingyi wanted to scold, those two flat-haired animals combined could weigh almost a hundred or ten catties. What's more, the one on top of her head is still shaving her hair in a bun, and the one on her shoulder is constantly playing hooligan. Who is that, I don't know what the emperor would think if he was cuckolded by an eagle.

"Sister, don't move." Zuo Xuanyu was attracted by the Hai Dongqing who kept shrinking his neck, and was about to step forward and gently touch the bright and beautiful feathers.

"Sister, be careful, it pecks people, it's amazing." Murong Cairen stopped Xuanyu's movements.

Everyone was attracted by these two little guys, Wei Tinglu asked, "Sister Murong, do you know, who are Hai'er and who are Dong'er?" ”

"It's all like a general membrane, where can I tell the difference?" Murong Cairen took the meat strip and teased the one on his shoulder, but unfortunately people didn't appreciate it, and only occasionally pecked the feathers and occasionally rubbed Han Qingyi's face, just ignoring the meat in Murong's hands.

"I guess the one with the white paw is Hai'er, and the one with the red paw is Dong'er." Zuo Xuanyu noticed that the two Haidongqing paws were different in color.

"That's a good guess." A man's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Yongtai Emperor Yuchen. Everyone knelt down and saluted, except for Han Qingyi, who was the shelf, of course. Now Han Qingyi didn't dare to move, Dong'er's claws on the top of her head hung on her hair, and she was torn off at the slightest movement.

"You're going to be careful." The emperor asked Xuanyu with a smile, "Are you from that palace?" ”

"Fengxiang Gong'an lady meets the emperor, may the emperor be blessed and safe." Zuo Xuanyu bowed down.

"Do you know this eagle?"

"If you go back to the emperor, they are not eagles, they are Haidongqing, they should be a kind of falcon. The book says that it has jade claws and golden eyes. It flies higher than an eagle and is said to be able to see grasshoppers in the grass when hovering in the sky, and small finches in the clouds when resting on the branches. They are more imposing and more difficult to tame than eagles. Zuo Xuanyu replied.

The emperor smiled and nodded.

Zuo Xuanyu saw Han Qingyi suffering under the teasing of the two Hai Dongqing and said busily, "Your Majesty, they." ”

The emperor whistled, and Hai'er on his shoulder flew away, although he still didn't forget to rub Han Qingyi's face before flying away. But Dong'er fluttered his wings but didn't move, and Hai'er saw that Dong'er didn't leave, so he landed on Han Qingyi's shoulder again.
