Three years later

The midsummer sun shines on the palace wall of the Jiaofang Palace, the crystal revealing glazed tiles reflect the dazzling light, and several fish-shaped sculptures on the palace wall are seen from a distance, as if they are beating on the glowing glazed tiles, and they seem to be eager to jump into the palace wall.

In the palace wall, Ling Xi sat in the pavilion, drinking the iced sour plum soup that Ginkgo had just brought over, and a refreshing feeling was born from the bottom of her heart, she looked at the lotus flowers in the pond in the lake in the backyard, and a breeze blew, it was really cool and comfortable.

"Xiuzhu, Qin'er, this will make you lose again, this palace can be ruthless, Ginkgo quickly bring the brush, if there is still someone who can't catch it, I will give her a few strokes of black ink on her face."

Ling Xi put down the sour plum soup in her hand, she took the brush handed over by Ginkgo biloba, looked at the palace people in the pavilion again, and shook the brush in her hand in front of them with some playfulness. This group of palace people were so frightened that they all leaned back, and Xiuzhu didn't pay attention, and her body fell to the ground, falling on her back, looking very funny.

Ling Xi couldn't help laughing, and the other palace people also couldn't stop laughing, Xiuzhu immediately stood up, her face immediately turned red, and she said with some embarrassment: "Queen Mother, don't laugh, shame the slave and maid." ”

"Xiuzhu, you are the most beautiful palace maid in our Jiaofang Palace, why are you so thin-skinned, even if you fell extremely indecent just now, it didn't affect your beauty at all, just as beautiful and delicious." Aunt An, who was beside Ling Xi, also teased Xiuzhu with bad intentions.

"Aunt An, don't make fun of the slave." Xiuzhu became more and more embarrassed.

"Xiao Yinzi, you go to the lake and get a lotus."

Ling Xi looked at Xiao Yinzi, who was on the side, and Xiao Yinzi immediately trotted to the lake, took a lotus flower, and sent it to Ling Xi. Ling Xi walked behind Xiuzhu, she put down Xiuzhu's green silk, combed her a small crooked bun, and she gently inserted the small lotus flower on Xiuzhu's crooked bun, which was very good-looking.

"Let's go to the lake." Ling Xi said to Xiuzhu.

Xiuzhu, who was still a little embarrassed just now, immediately ran to the lake, only to see that the edge of the petals of the lotus flower on her head in the lake was stained with a faint pink, which was very beautiful. Xiuzhu trotted up to Ling Xi with some excitement and said happily, "Xie Niangniang." ”

The other palace people also surrounded Xiuzhu, looking at the lotus flower on her head, the ridicule just now turned into envy, and they begged Ling Xi to comb their hair accessories like this.

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan was walking on the green road of the West Courtyard with a frown, and the Xihua border was uneasy these days, although it was a little friction, but it vaguely conveyed that Emperor Kangqing wanted to start a war. Originally, Xiang Hongxuan was waiting to fight such a battle, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to actively prepare for war and fight with Xihua, but Wang An made a big fuss about military spending in the previous dynasty and hindered Xiang Hongxuan.

Originally, the matter of the previous dynasty was enough to annoy Hongxuan, and as a result, the harem did not stop. After Feng Yingying entered the palace, although Xiang Hongxuan doted on her, but after all, Xiang Hongxuan still needed to appease Wang's relatives and Liu Sheng, but every time Feng Yingying knew that Xiang Hongxuan favored Wang Shuyue, she would always make her small, and Xiang Hongxuan had to coax her for a long time before she could let go.

A few days ago, in order to comfort the sick Wang Shuyue, Xiang Hongxuan stayed in the Yinghua Palace for a few days, Feng Yuying had a temper with Xiang Hongxuan, and several times Xiang Hongxuan called her to Feiyu Hall for dinner, but she didn't go, and Xiang Hongxuan simply didn't go to Xiyan Palace when he was angry. Xiang Hongxuan has been upset for the past few days, saying that he is going to take a walk in the harem, and as he walks, he walked from the east courtyard to the west courtyard, and unconsciously walked in the direction of Xiyan Palace.

Suddenly, bursts of laughter and flower drums came out of a small door, Xiang Hongxuan walked to the door, the small door was hidden, he looked inside, a group of palace people in the pavilion were playing drumming and passing flowers, suddenly the drum stopped, only to see a lotus flower fell in the hands of a woman sitting in the center of the pavilion, Xiang Hongxuan looked at this woman from a distance, why does the queen always give herself a ...... An inexplicable sense of familiarity.
