Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

I don't know what happened to Emperor Wen, but he has been running to and from Wanxiu Palace frequently.Knowing that he would not be welcomed by Xiang Wanchun, Emperor Wen still had the cheek to stay in the palace for an hour before slowly leaving. Although he didn't get drunk with ulterior motives like the first night, he still behaved with close relatives from time to time. It still made Xiang Wanchun full of evil.

And Xiang Wanchun told Yinqiao that night that he needed to be quiet for a while, and for the next two days they stayed in the house and refused to show up, and no one mentioned the matter of going to Lingshuang Palace all day long, because there was something on his mind Xiang Wanchun was unwilling to confide more, which made others speculate about Xiang Wanchun's strangeness.

In addition to Emperor Wen, there were also a few concubines who came to Wanxiu Palace to make trouble because of spreading rumors.Although Emperor Wen could not be driven away, these concubines were not difficult to dismiss.When people left, Xiang Wanchun, who couldn't sit still in the room, ran outside again.When Yunyao came, she saw Xiang Wanchun flipping through the books under the gazebo, the pages were flipped through in an orderly manner, but Yunyao knew that people were absent-minded.

"What book is my sister reading?" As she approached with small steps, there was a burst of soothing fragrance.

"Concubine Xi is here." Although he had read a few pages of the book in hand, he had no impression of the content. Xiang Wanchun got up and closed the book, "This book is just flipping through it for fun."

"Since my sister wants to relax, why don't we take a walk around to relax," Yun Yao said, "It's a rare good weather, it's a pity that my sister just stays here to read."

Firstly, there was nothing to do, and secondly, he couldn't sit still and read a book. Since Yunyao proposed, Xiang Wanchun readily agreed, "Then let's go."

Xiang Wanchun talked silently about something hidden in her heart, Yunyao saw her depressed and worried for others, so she just said: "Sister, let's go to the pond to have a look, after the cold and spring, the koi in the pond should be much bigger. "

After recovering his thoughts, Xiang Wanchun smiled quietly, "Long time no see, it should be." Such a peaceful smile is rarely shown in front of Su Shuangran, mostly because of Su Shuangran's seemingly non-existent teasing, at a loss what to do, Xiang Wanchun now With a smile on his face, he lost a bit of his youthfulness and became calm and calm when he was outside.

After being dazed for a moment, Yun Yao finally said, "Looking at it this way, Concubine Xi feels that my sister is somewhat similar to Concubine Zhuang's sister."

"Really?" Xiang Wanchun was noncommittal. He had been with other people for nearly six years, so he should understand and learn something about being a human being.

"Sister may not believe it, but Concubine Xi was really surprised." Seeing that Xiang Wanchun didn't react much when Su Shuangran was mentioned, Yunyao was a little relieved, and then said softly, "Sister and Concubine Zhuang Is it alright? Concubine Xi has also heard about the rumors in the palace that my sister and Concubine Zhuang have a disagreement, although I don't know if it is true or not, but Concubine Xi always feels that the sisters have a very good relationship and will not make trouble."

"I don't want to hear about it even Xi concubine," Xiang Wanchun sighed, "People talk a lot, and it's scary."

Then the person said: "Those are just speculations and things that are fabricated out of thin air. It is impossible to believe whether the harem is true or not."

"Concubine Xi understands," Yun Yao said, "It's just that I was upset when I saw my sister for the first time, and I thought she was worrying about it. Since my sister said no, Concubine Xi is relieved."

"My concubine Xi is worried about this palace," Xiang Wanchun didn't want to bring up the matter of heartache, his voice changed, and Yinqiao behind him ordered, "Go and prepare two bags of fish food."

……

In the distance, I saw two elegantly dressed women leaning on the railing to feed the swimming fish. Their leisurely and playful appearance is a different kind of beauty.

"If elder sister thinks that there is no one to accompany her in the palace, you can go and sit in younger sister's palace," Yun Yao said while teasing the shoals of swimming fish with food jokes, "My younger sister is often alone in the palace, it's strange that it is deserted. .”

"Why, Concubine Xi doesn't go to Concubine Kang's sister's place these days?" Xiang Wanchun asked after stopping what he was doing.

"My elder sister has to be taken care of by the emperor now, so there is no need for Concubine Xi." Yun Yao lowered her eyebrows, and she could hear a hint of loss that could not be concealed in her quiet words.

Hearing the mention of Emperor Wen, Xiang Wanchun's eyes were vaguely strange.Thinking of Emperor Wen's recent actions, Xiang Wanchun couldn't bear to frown.It is natural to resent Emperor Wen. After all, people used bad means to force her to submit. If it was not because of Emperor Wen, she would not dare to see Su Shuangran again because of her guilt.

Speaking of being a concubine in the harem, there is nothing wrong with it, but Xiang Wanchun feels that she shouldn't feel guilty—how can a person who clearly cares about her be able to fall in love with others now?Even if Su Shuangran didn't mind this, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

The two were hiding their thoughts, and the atmosphere fell into depression for a while.It was only later that Xiang Wanchun noticed what was wrong with Yunyao.

"Concubine Xi is like this, I'm afraid a few bags of fish food are not enough to scatter." Helping Yunyao hold the brocade bag in his hand, and relieved his troubles, Xiang Wanchun blinked his eyes and pretended to be playful, "If this palace often Going out the door, Xi Concubine should not be bothered by that time."

Seeing that the food in the bag was nearly half gone, Yun Yao realized that she had lost her mind, and immediately smiled and said, "Why? My sister can come, and Xi Concubine is too late to be happy."

"That's not necessarily the case," Xiang Wanchun said, and looked up at the sky again, "It's meal time, let's go back."

"Concubine Xi heard that my sister's cooking skills are extraordinary." Just as she was about to turn around, Yun Yao suddenly said, "My sister will come to Baguio Palace tomorrow. Concubine Xi has learned some cooking skills recently, and I want to ask my sister to guide me."

"I dare not take this as an exaggeration, and if I haven't cooked for a long time, I am afraid that this skill will be inferior. However, Xi Concubine has practiced cooking skills, and I have the intention to try it."
