Holding the Piano in the Red Chamber

Xiunu had been in the palace for about ten days, at least on the surface she could not find anything wrong with her words and deeds, so she was put into the imperial garden for the first time.

There is a rockery in the southeast corner of the imperial garden, with two lush pine trees on it, and a pool of spring water below, which is very delicate, and it is the most distinctive scene in the entire imperial garden. There are many show girls.

However, there is another pavilion on the rockery, which is more ingeniously built. From the bottom, it is regarded as a solid rockery and is completely invisible.Now there are four people sitting in this pavilion, Ruicheng, his eighth brother Ruile, Concubine Yu and Shulan.

Rui Le celebrates his birthday on the [-]th and September of this year, and has a false name in the Ministry of Rites.The emperor was very relieved, and his attitude towards him was not bad. Although it was not to the point of responding to every request, it would be fine if there were no mistakes on the surface.

The prince's official career starts from the sixth department, and if he has no talent after one round, he will go to the Ministry of Rites.This is not to say that the Ministry of Rites is not important, but that the work done by the Ministry of Rites basically follows the old rules. As long as they are well-behaved, nothing will go wrong.

In the critical years of Ruile, the palace struggled fiercely, the prince was deposed, and people died one after another. He didn't learn anything, and he was in a state of herding sheep for about four or five years.Concubine Yu was quite unhappy about this, and the old emperor could tell her a few things when he was around, such as what the Ministry of Rites was for.

However, the current emperor pretended to be stupid, Ruile was too lazy and unwilling to work hard, on the contrary, he was a little unhappy after being told by Concubine Yu a few times, and the number of times he came to pay his respects on weekdays was also less.

So Concubine Yu didn't dare to say any more, she could only hope to find a daughter-in-law who was educated and reasonable, or who had some great Confucianism at home, hoping to turn her son around.

So of the two girls she took a fancy to, one of them could write very well, and it looked like they had put in a lot of hard work. The other, the father of the family was the supervisory censor, so he must be able to take good care of her son for her.

Ruicheng and Shulan stood behind a window, and they pointed out the list of beautiful girls, Shulan whispered: "These two are the ones that Concubine Yu has her eyes on, Your Majesty, don't choose among those two. "

Ruicheng looked at the list of people and said he knew.

Concubine Yu and Ruile stood in front of the other window, and they were not so polite when they spoke. For some reason, Ruile's face was clearly displeased.

Although Ruicheng said: "How can you be rude to the concubine?" But he was a little happy in his heart. Even after being the emperor for so many years and already in control of power, he still felt that the less promising his brother was, the better.

Ruicheng pulled Rui Le aside, and said: "For matters such as choosing a princess, you should listen to your mother's opinion more, and let your sister-in-law show it to you later. When the father was still there in the early years, that time The draft girl..." Ruicheng thought of the fact that the two people he fell in love with that time were very unreliable, one pretended to be powerful, and the other... couldn't bear to look back, and said: "They know a lot, anyway, they won't show too much. Big mistake."

When the emperor spoke, Rui Le was still a little unconvinced, but on the surface he didn't say anything, but after looking carefully, the girl in Yu Shi's family was really good looking.

This is the first time to visit the Imperial Garden, and it is nothing more than identifying someone in front of the list.Besides, everyone is cautious for the first time, and what can you see when you take a walk?Going fast in good health?Don't be ridiculous, I didn't become a concubine, I didn't become the lord of the first palace, I always have to follow others when I go out, it's useless to walk fast, and it doesn't work if I walk slowly.

It was almost time for people to see, Shulan just remembered to ask Ruicheng to leave, but found him standing by the window in a daze, Shulan walked in and saw a beautiful girl by the stream stretched out her hand and put it on the rockery In a small waterfall.

This caught the emperor?Shulan couldn't believe it, she didn't think how good-looking this man was.It's good to have white hands, but there is no one with black hands in the palace.

Shulan coughed a few times, Ruicheng shook her for a while, as if she had suddenly come to her senses, and said quickly: "It's almost time, Rui Le will send the concubine back."

So a few people went down the small stairs behind the pavilion, and after a few bends they came out of the imperial garden.

In Qixiang Palace, Baoqin called Liu Guiren to his room, and the third prince Chongying, who was born by Liu Guiren, fell asleep on the small bed beside him, together with the fifth prince.

Liu Guiren looked and looked, until Wenjing brought the tea, and there was a crisp bang, and she came back to her senses.Liu Guiren calmed down, smiled, looked at Wen Jing and said, "Sister Hebi, why is your temper so bad today?"

"Packing things these two days, maybe my hands are sore." Baoqin said, she scratched the tea leaves with the lid of the cup, and said: "Liu Guiren has lived in Qixiang Palace for quite a while."

"That's not true." Liu Guiren smiled, "I've lived in Qixiang Palace since I entered the palace, I count... almost three years."

"It's hard for you to remember so clearly."

"Qixiang Palace is a good place." Being close to His Majesty, Liu Guiren said, "Chongying was born in Qixiang Palace, and my sister's Fifth Prince is almost half a year old."

Baoqin nodded, and said: "In a blink of an eye, it's been a month since Xiunu entered the palace, and Liu Guiren didn't go to see her?"

Liu Guiren said with a smile: "I am only a noble person, how can I have the courage to meet Xiu Nu?"

"That's not necessarily true." Baoqin said: "Newcomers will enter the palace next year. I don't think it's good for the newcomers to live by themselves. The empress also means the same. You have to find two old people to take care of you."

Liu Guiren was overjoyed at once, thanks to the fact that he was only in his early twenties, he wouldn't be able to wrinkle his smile, but his eyes were narrowed. "Thank you, Ma'am, for your help!"

It's no wonder Liu Guiren is happy. It doesn't matter if Ling Chang is gone, there are only a few that can be used in the palace. When the newcomer enters the palace, no matter how she finds her, she will be able to go up a level. At that time...

Liu Guiren looked at Chong Ying who was sleeping soundly on the bed, good son, after this period, he will be able to return to his mother's arms.

Liu Guiren walked away happily, took a sip of tea with the piano in his arms, Rong Xi said: "Mother, if you are like this, in case in the future..."

"As long as she can pass the New Year safely, she will be fine. She has sued His Majesty three times. When the New Year is over and she is moved to the palace, it has nothing to do with me." Baoqin put the teacup on the table On the bed, he walked to the bed and looked at his sleeping son, "I didn't say anything. The empress didn't say that she would be promoted, and I didn't say anything. It was all her own thinking."

Rong Xi stopped talking, and the eunuch's voice came from the door again: "Aunt Huiyan is here."

Shulan's eldest prince Chong is three and a half years old this year. Although he has not stopped taking his medicine during the season change, he has grown so big after bumps. Especially Ruicheng taught him how to write on a whim and found that he is not good at learning. He did have a few talents, so the First Prince was paid more and more attention.

Originally born by the queen, they complement each other, and even the maids in the queen's palace are more respected.

But Huiyan's expression is not very good when she comes in today.

"What's the matter?" Baoqin greeted her in person without waiting for her to salute, "Have you quarreled with your master?"

Normally Huiyan might be able to smile, but she still frowned after hearing this, and said: "My Lady, Queen Mother, please go over."
