"I said, that incident is in the past, you don't owe me anything." Han Qingyi raised his sleeves, his expression full of uncertainty.

"However, my sister is the only one who doesn't mind my humble background and is willing to laugh with me. Does my sister know that I haven't said a word in those three months? It's not that I'm quiet, because no one pays attention to me. Every time they look at me, it's like they're jumping over an obstacle, and they're still the kind that don't have an impact. I know that my sister is a good person, you are willing to stand up for me and listen to me. I don't want my sister to be swallowed up by this palace like this. Zuo Xuanyu didn't take Han Qingyi's hesitation seriously at all, and expressed her heartfelt feelings over there.

"What do you know?" Han Qingyi listened to Zuo Xuanyu's words, his heart moved, as if he had thought of something, and asked coldly.

"I know that the emperor's eyes were full of joy when he saw his sister, he didn't smile, but his eyes were smiling. I can see that the emperor has taken a fancy to his sister. Zuo Xuanyu stared at Han Qingyi's eyes and said happily.

"Do you know who I am?" Han Qingyi stared at Zuo Xuanyu's eyes and asked word by word.

"I don't know." Zuo Xuanyu replied blankly.

Han Qingyi exhaled, looking at Zuo Xuanyu's dazed appearance, he couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed, and actually used the Soul Transfer Dafa on her.

"I see, I'll be careful." Han Qingyi helped her up, "Thank you sister for your kindness." ”

Zuo Xuanyu didn't dare to say anything else, "It's late at night, sister, let's rest early." ”

Han Qingyi turned around and said goodbye, his back was a little lonely.

Zuo Xuanyu took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and called someone to wait for her to change her clothes. The gaze is no longer gentle and cowardly, but clearly a tenacity and perseverance.

The next day, Han Qingyi got up quite early. Yesterday's shouting of cumbersome etiquette is similar today, Chunzhu was slightly surprised, but he didn't delve into it. After all, Han Qingyi no longer passively resisted, which saved her a lot of effort. When they have free time, the three little masters grind Chunzhu to talk about gossip in the palace. Chunzhu has always refused to say much, and it took a long time to hear one or two bit by bit.

Yongtai Emperor Yuchen was only twenty-eight years old, and he was hostage in Mobei when he was a child, and he only returned to the country and ascended the throne three years ago. It's not because the princes of the imperial capital are fighting and losing, and in the end, only the protons who are far away in a foreign country are left to benefit. Three years ago, the first emperor was bewitched by the eunuch Xu Yin to personally conquer the Tuoba clan in Mobei, and was trapped in Longshouyuan, and the 80,000 army was almost wiped out. Prince Yuchen led a team of about 300 tigers and leopards, King Qin, with 300 against 30,000 troops. was also almost wiped out, and Yuchen Gongzi himself was seriously injured and almost died. But with that bravery, he actually blocked the Tuoba clan's army in the north of the Dragon Shouyuan. The first emperor was frightened, contracted the wind and cold, and died on the way home before he could be treated. Prince Yuchen ordered Xu Yin to sacrifice to the first emperor in front of the army, and then returned to the imperial capital with the remnants of the forty-eight people and the previous emperor's edict. Secretly contacted the hussar general Tang Zikai, the general of the Chinese army Lin Zhishan, and the general of Zhendong Jiang Liang to take over the military power of the imperial capital. By the time the crown prince learned of the death of the first emperor, Prince Yuchen had already broken into the inner courtyard of the palace under the banner of killing the rebel. Prince Yuchen denounced the seven major crimes of the former emperor and prince outside the Xun Gate, and the seven should be killed, and then beheaded the first emperor and exposed the body for three days.

Then Yuchen Gongzi took his biological mother out of the cold palace and honored him as the Empress Dowager of Xiaoci Duanwen Zhuang Min Huigong and Yijing Kanghui. Self-named Yongtai, changed the imperial capital to Chang'an.

He has only been on the throne for three years. Open canals, eliminate malpractices, redress grievances, correct corrupt officials, and level the frontiers...... Resolute in what he did. Three years ago, Emperor Yongtai got married, married Tang Rou, the daughter of the hussar general Tang Zikai, although it was not a national beauty, but it was lenient and benevolent. The queen handled the affairs of the harem fairly and fairly, and the emperor respected her very much. There is some respect for each other, but they are never favored. The most favored is the Yuan Concubine Hou, who entered the palace with the queen. Legend has it that she has the face of a country and a city, and she has been favored for three years, and Emperor Yongtai has been with her for twenty days every month. Compared with the gentle and virtuous queen, Concubine Yuan is a high-flying and domineering character. And nine times out of ten, her temperament is used to by the emperor, and she still says nothing in front of the emperor. Concubine Yuan's original name was Shu, but she begged the emperor to change her name. Yuan, heaven and earth, is already a Yue Li, but the emperor relied on her. Since then, no one has dared to attack the concubine. Not to mention all the concubines, even the queen has to let her score three points.

But the Queen Mother is a weak character and doesn't care about the affairs of the harem. And feeling that the killing caused by Emperor Yongtai that day was too heavy, he closed himself in the Empress Dowager's palace and concentrated on worshipping the Buddha and eliminating karma.

In addition, the concubines in the palace are divided into eight products and sixteen grades. The show girl who was promoted this time is just a low-level palace concubine, and she can only be called the "little master" and live in the palace. Only the third noble concubine can be called "master" or "mother", and she is qualified to become the head of the inner court, live in the main hall, and be in charge of the affairs of the first palace. And now the harem concubines are in charge, and in addition to the queen, only the concubine is the head of the first palace. The Fengxiang Palace where Han Qingyi lives still lives in the East Side Palace, where there is a Xu Cai who has been in the palace for two years and a Song lady who has been in the palace for three years, and it seems that they are not favored little masters. In this way, Han Qingyi's status is the highest.

After that night, the relationship between Han Qingyi and Zuo Xuanyu seemed to be much closer. Every day, they eat together, but they are inseparable. Occasionally, several other little masters came to visit the door, and they had a good time these days. Han Qingyi would often receive packages from outside the palace, sometimes some scattered silver taels, sometimes a few pieces of clothes that he was used to wearing. At this time, she would reward her subordinates with two taels of silver and leave her own clothes. She is not like the master of another palace, she is too lazy to stand up in front of her subordinates, but she only gets by with occasional rewards. However, the relationship between the master and servant in her palace is more intimate than that of others.

Although the training of court etiquette was boring, the days passed quite quickly, and the fifteen days passed quickly. In the early morning of the next day, Han Qingyi, who had just finished dressing up, adhered to the habit of many days, and still sat on the dresser in a daze. Pei Han, the palace maid who was close to her, stepped forward and said, "Little master, the deacon and eunuch in the queen's palace are here to pick up the little master." “

Han Qingyi looked at Pei Han a little blankly when she heard this, it was completely a sign of inactivity.

"Yesterday, the governor came to read the will, saying that today's new little lord went to see the queen mother and the concubines of various palaces." Pei Han explained that she was used to Han Qingyi's appearance of not looking for four or six.

On the Ronghua Palace, Zuo Xuanyu and several people were already waiting for her. It seems that after waiting for a long time, everyone is a little impatient. At this time, seeing Han Qingyi coming, everyone got into the sedan chair separately. Pei Han served Han Qingyi on the sedan chair, and followed behind Han Qingyi's sedan chair with Zhao Hao. When I walked and could have a stick of incense, I finally heard a voice shouting: "Ruining Palace has arrived, please get off the sedan chair." Pei Han preemptively lifted the curtain, she was really afraid that her little master would fall asleep in the sedan chair again. Fortunately, Han Qingyi sat upright, Zhao Hao stepped forward to hold Han Qingyi's hand, and walked all the way into Zhaoyang Palace.

After a rough count, Han Qingyi knew that there were twelve show girls selected this time. In a trance, I saw the big lantern of the day again, standing proudly in front of everyone. Before the queen arrived, the little masters sat down according to their identities, and Han Qingyi leaned over to talk to Zuo Xuanyu. Zuo Xuanyu sat upright, ignoring her without squinting.

After a while, the queen helped Wan Fuheng and walked out. I saw that the queen was wearing a red Ruyi satin embroidered colorful auspicious cloud court dress, covered with an emerald brocade and feather satin cloak, a gold threaded yarn skirt, and a purple gold Zhai phoenix bead crown, which was very graceful and luxurious. After taking her seat, the queen looked around and said with a graceful smile: "Sisters, come early. Flatten! ”

Wan Fuheng led a group of new palace concubines to bow to the queen. When the queen received the gift, she ordered the inner supervisor to give a gift, and everyone thanked her.

Wan Fuheng was the first to quote to the right hand side of the queen, "All the little masters see Concubine Yuanniang." ”

The concubine does not apply powder, and the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, the beads do not move and condense the two eyebrows, and the lead is innocent. It is in response to the rumors in the palace that the elegance is peerless, and the subtlety is unparalleled. However, the clothes are simple, with a moon-white long skirt, a purple jade belt to tie the waist, and a gold ring to tie the hair, which looks very unusual in this concubine with heavy makeup.

Concubine Yuan answered, and commanded with an arrogant expression, "Get up." "That shelf seems to be a little bigger than the Queen.

Then the little lords stood up and sat down separately.

Emperor Yongtai has very few concubines, except for Concubine Yuan, the remaining concubines are low-level promises and are always there. The show girls who were sealed this time were all above them, and this time they didn't show up.

The queen said kindly: "The harem has always been weakly connected, and I am finally looking forward to your sisters entering the palace." In the future, they will serve the emperor wholeheartedly in the palace and extend their descendants for the royal family. The younger sisters should also live in harmony with one heart and one mind. “

Everyone respectfully replied "yes".

Suddenly, the concubine who was drinking tea said "huh".

The queen leaned sideways and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" ”

Concubine Yuan frowned and looked at Han Qingyi, "What do you call this sister?" ”

Zuo Xuanyu was startled by this and looked at Han Qingyi worriedly. Only then did I find that Han Qingyi was wearing a moon-white juan gauze gold silk embroidered long skirt, a moon-white silk overall, and a moon-white chrysanthemum top. It actually collided with Concubine Yuan's clothes. Zuo Xuanyu subconsciously grabbed the handkerchief and looked at Concubine Yuan nervously.

Han Qingyi didn't seem to find out that there was anything wrong with him, but hurriedly got up and bowed down, "The concubine and noble Han Qingyi see the Yuan Concubine Niangniang, may the Niangniang be auspicious and blessed." ”

Concubine Yuan smiled and excused herself, and said, "My sister is really peerless, no wonder it makes the emperor pay attention." However, Bengong remembers that the **** court dress in the draft is still a bright color, why is it so elegant today? ”

Zuo Xuanyue's face changed slightly, and she didn't know how Han Qingyi would respond.

Han Qingyi hadn't yet responded, but he heard a eunuch outside the palace report loudly, "The emperor has arrived." ”

I saw Yongtai Emperor Yuchen walking in from outside the hall. From the queen, they all got up and saluted, "The concubines greet the saint, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." ”

Yuchen bent down to help the queen, "Get up." ”

The emperor sat down and asked the queen, "I heard yesterday that Rou'er's asthma has happened again?" How's it going, are you getting better? How do these minions wait? ”

The queen hurriedly said, "It's just that the autumn is slightly infected with the wind cold, and there is some chest tightness." Annoyed by the emperor's thoughts, the concubines deserve death. ”

The emperor held the queen's hand, "How can there be so many taboos in your own husband and wife, don't deserve death if you don't move." When will you get better? ”

The queen smiled, "Yes." ”

"By the way, some time ago, Liaodong sent some fine sable skins, and I ordered you to add an overcoat. The weather is cold, your body has always been weak, pay attention not to attract the wind cold. ”

"Emperor Xie cares." The corners of the queen's eyes were full of happiness.

Han Qingyi was once again embarrassed in front of someone, she stood in the center and didn't know whether to retreat or what to do. Concubine Yuan's question is not the time to answer now, and it is too noticeable to retreat. Han Qingyi was in a dilemma over there, but the emperor was very happy with his left and right.

It took a long time for the emperor to notice her. The emperor looked at Han Qingyi in surprise, and his voice was very majestic, "What's going on?" ”

Han Qingyi said goodbye helplessly, "The concubine and noble Han Qingyi see the emperor, and I wish the emperor long live and be auspicious." ”

"What is she doing standing here?" The emperor turned around and asked the concubine.

"Back to the emperor, it was the concubine who saw that the clothes of this noble sister's clothes were good, and wanted to ask where my sister made them." Concubine Yuan hurriedly interjected, not mentioning that Han Qingyi's clothes collided with her own.

The emperor looked at Han Qingyi carefully for a long time, and seemed to understand, "Oh, it turns out that it's because of this." ”

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and when I was drafted that day, my sister was dressed in gorgeous clothes, how could she be beautiful and lovely today." Concubine Yuan saw that the emperor seemed to have noticed Han Qingyi, and hurriedly laughed.

The emperor shook his head with a smile and said to Han Qingyi, "The color of your clothes is not good, and you have committed the taboo of your concubine's sister." ”

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Yuan was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, "The emperor is serious, and the concubines have no ......" In the palace, this kind of taboo is still too unpopular. Once the emperor investigates it, the concubine is annoyed with the sin of jealousy.

"You." The emperor was not angry, smiled and stretched out his hand to help Concubine Yuan, "She is really inferior to you in this body." The emperor walked down and circled Han Qingyi three times.

Concubine Yuan said angrily, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor walked over and stood in front of Concubine Yuan, "You like simple clothes, you like to use men's belts the most, because you are too lazy to comb your hair, so you always use gold rings to tie your hair." I like jade the most, you say that you have to be like jade, its temperature is like jade, and its stillness is like water; I hate Dongzhu the most, you think that every Dongzhu carries the blood and tears of pearl divers; I like moon white, indigo, and light blue the most, and I hate pure white and bright colors, so the clothes are usually solid colors; I like sweets, I like sugar packets, sugar cakes, fried dumplings, crispy prints, hibiscus cakes and other snacks, but I love sweet and salty tastes; I like bamboo shoots and water chestnuts, and I hate bird's nests; I like to live in the West Wing, because the sun can't shine, and I like to sleep in a shady place the most; When traveling, you like to ride a fierce horse, because you like the wind that you bring up when you run fast, just like you like to eat the spiciest dishes; I like bitter dicing when drinking tea, I like the bitter taste in my mouth, and I like to make tea with cold water, because it can gradually get better; Drinking likes the 'mellow and elegant, sweet and refreshing, harmonious flavors, and long tail' of Liulin wine; I like wild history when I read books, because you hate the official history that is whitewashed, you say that dirt and darkness exist in this world, there is no pure black and white good and evil in this world, I like the love stories of kings of the past dynasties, I like those crude but true stories, I hate poetry, I always feel that poetry has to bother to guess, it is not as straightforward as romance; I don't like Junzi Orchid and plum blossoms. Because you hate the meaning that people impose on flowers and plants with their own preferences and ideas, you like Xiangfei bamboo the most, but you just like it simply; The place I want to live in the most is the Jiangnan of ten miles of lotus and three autumn laurels; The ideal way of life is to be a rich idler, and to be in a daze when you want to do nothing at all. ”

As the emperor's calm voice gradually spoke out of her habit, Concubine Yuan's face became redder and redder, and her smile was full of shyness and surprise. Although there are a few points that the emperor said that are not completely in line with it, it is also something that the concubine loves, not to mention that the emperor cares so much, this favor has made the entire harem jealous.

The emperor finally said to the new little masters, "Since Concubine Yuan is taboo about these things, you should pay more attention in the future." Then he said to Concubine Yuan, "Forget it this time." ”

Concubine Yuan blushed and nodded, peeking at the queen's face, her eyes full of showing off.

The queen was completely invisible, and looked at the emperor gently.
