"Story of Yanxi Palace" White Moonlight

Eight & Concubine

Wu Shulai, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, stood aside with his fly whisk in a decent manner, looking flatteringly at the big court lady who was picking at the Shu brocade silks and satins, "Hey, Miss Zhilan, the best Shu brocades are always kept in close proximity. From the Xiu Palace, how can a slave dare to neglect the noble concubine?"

Zhilan Su had slender hands, flipped through the clothes at hand, and said nonchalantly: "What is my concubine's status, what is her vision, how can she appreciate this Shu brocade, it's better to go to the last batch of this Shu brocade."

When Wu Shulai heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and took a step forward, "That is, in this Forbidden City, the grace and favor of a noble concubine is the first."

"It's good to know," Zhilan squinted at him, wandered around in the huge warehouse again, and warned Wu Shulai leisurely, "You have to wink a bit, don't just post it when Changchun Palace makes a move, be careful that the gain outweighs the loss!"

Wu Shulai pursed his lips, opened his mouth without saying a word, but nodded slightly in Zhilan's sight.

Zhilan said some more words and beat Wu Shulai, but she was not as indulgent and complacent as usual. She took the essentials of the imperial concubine and some things Wu Shulai honored, and was ready to leave. After all, the imperial concubine was still in the palace. The spirit of Tao Te Ching.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhilan went out holding a pine tray inlaid with gold, she saw Erqing walking in, her face was still slightly angry, and her eyes were also red, as if she had just cried.

Zhilan stopped curiously and looked at Er Qing's leaving back. For tasks like coming to the House of Internal Affairs to get things, the maids around concubines seldom do it by themselves. She came to the House of Internal Affairs to avoid the anger of the noble concubine.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Er Qing, she still looked aggrieved, she seemed to be looking for Xiao Guizi to find out the news.Zhilan walked steadily, still pondering about Erqing in her mind.

In this way, you can go back and tell the noble concubine to make your empress happy.

Thinking of this, Zhilan's steps became more and more brisk, with obvious joy appearing on her face, wishing she could fly to Chuxiu Palace immediately.

In Chuxiu Palace, the bright and colorful Concubine Gao looked at the thick "Tao Te Ching" on the table, angrily threw the teacup in her hand on the carpet covered with Suzhou embroidery, and raised her voice, "That Zhilan is dead!" Where did the girl go?"

The palace maid standing behind the pillar hastily opened the pearl curtain to enter the inner hall, and respectfully said to Concubine Gao: "Your Majesty, sister Zhilan just went to the House of Internal Affairs."

Concubine Gao raised her head proudly, her pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes raised upwards, she fixedly looked at the bowed maid, the palace was quiet, one could hear Qingyan walking along the double cranes carrying pearls and carving gold. The sound of smokers flowing.

After a while, Concubine Gao laughed loudly, the meaning was unknown, which made the maid hurriedly lower her eyes to look at the master's expression, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

Concubine Gao's laughter was clear and loud, flying out of the carved window, which did not match the seriousness and grandeur of the Forbidden City at all. This smile is only suitable for floating in the wilderness and above the big river.

In the Forbidden City, there is no need for indulgence and freedom.

Having laughed enough, Concubine Gao covered her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, tilted her body on the seat, and asked in a curious and innocent tone: "Are you afraid of me?"

"Also..." Seeing that the maid was silent, Concubine Gao stroked the armor inlaid with jewels and said to herself.He looked down at the palace lady again, felt that it was very boring, and stretched out his hand, "Okay, let me get out of here."

"Yes," the court lady wanted to go out, Gao Guifei raised her head and caught a glimpse of the "Tao Te Ching", and said impatiently: "Throw out that broken scripture to me, I will have a headache watching it!"

The palace maid hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and handed out the Tao Te Ching, lowered her head and said timidly, "Your servant will leave."

The maid stepped back out of the inner hall, Zhilan had just entered the hall, when she heard the master's angry words, she winked at the maid and whispered, "Put the book on the table in the main hall."

After giving orders to the court lady, Zhilan adjusted her expression, showing concern and persuasion to the master, pulled the curtain and entered the inner hall, and said to Concubine Gao, who was depressed with her chin resting on her hands: "Your Majesty, what do you want with a book?" gas?"

Concubine Gao snorted, and turned her body again, as it should be, "I am angry with the emperor, does he think I am immoral? My moral sentiment is so high that the mountains stand upright and the gods worship!"

Zhilan wanted to laugh a little, but she still tried her best to persuade the empress, "Empress, the emperor didn't want you to copy it, so don't be angry anymore, it's not worth it to spoil your own body."

Concubine Gao pouted her lips, compromised and said: "Go and get those scriptures back."

"Yes," Zhi Lan blessed her body, walked closer to Concubine Gao, and told her about seeing Er Qing in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, "Er Qing is not angry, her eyes are still red, and the slave has already sent someone to go Check out the news."

When Concubine Gao learned that there was a gap to be found, her depressed mood dissipated immediately, she touched the cheongsam and said: "You leave this matter to Jiagui, after such a long time, her confinement should be well established .”

Zhilan nodded and agreed: "If the nobleman doesn't have a concubine, how can he give birth to the fourth elder brother safely, and he must sacrifice his life to repay the concubine."

Concubine Gao tapped her armor lightly with her fingertips, her joy was beyond words, Empress Empress, if you want to compete with Ning Xiner for the emperor's favor, it depends on whether you can win.

Outside the hall, there are black tiles and red walls, and the magnificent Forbidden City is everywhere.

In the Changchun Palace, Rong Yin was full of smiles, and she was very interested in the musical instruments in front of her, picking and choosing, and finally paid attention to the elegant and noble violin.

Rong Yin held the violin, caressed it carefully, and cherished it, "The weight is appropriate, the size is appropriate, and the sound of the violin is quite good, which is very much in line with my wishes."

After picking out a few pieces that were eye-catching and satisfying, Rong Yin waved his hand and sent the other instruments back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He also instructed Wu Shulai, "These instruments should be well maintained, and the strings should be adjusted frequently to dry."

Wu Shulai bowed down, agreed cheerfully, said his congratulations, and went down.

Rong Yin asked someone to set up a table and chairs in the courtyard, and he sat on the chair with his violin in his hands. It was the golden autumn season, and the autumn wind was blowing cool, and the cool wind was rustling.

Mingyu waited beside the empress, seeing the empress's sincere and unaffected smile, she also smiled happily. Ever since she was serving beside the empress, it was rare for her to have such a pure and joyful smile.

Rong Yin didn't follow the tune score for a long while, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her fair skin, Mingyu stepped forward and handed her a cup of tea, persuading her: "Your Majesty, you are tired, take a rest."

Rongyin put down the piano, got up from the pear flower wooden chair and stretched his arms, took the tea in Mingyu's hand after he was tired, took a sip and said: "Mingyu, your tea cooking skills have improved a lot."

Mingyu was overjoyed when she heard the words, her brows were brimming with joy, and she wanted to put on a modest look, but the raised eyebrows had already betrayed her, Mingyu put her hands together and blessed her body, "Thank you for your compliment."

Rong Yin smiled slightly, and continued to drink tea with his head bowed.Mingyu served the snacks quickly again, and seeing that the empress was in a good mood, Mingyu softened her voice and said in a slightly admonishing tone, "Your Majesty, please let Erqing go back to the palace, how can she compare to Erqing? Woolen cloth?"

After hearing Mingyu's words, Rongyin's mood was also destroyed, but she didn't show her displeasure. She put down the teacup and asked with a hint of majesty in her tone: "Mingyu, what did she tell you again?"

"Ah?" Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly waved her hands, and retorted: "Er Qing didn't say anything, I don't think Er Qing is at fault, it's your empress..."

"Do you think Bengong has wronged her?" Rong Yin looked at Mingyu beside her, with a trace of pity in her eyes, it's no wonder that Mingyu trusted Er Qing so much, even she was deceived by Er Qing for so many years ?

"I dare not..." Mingyu spoke incoherently. She was indeed upset for Erqing in her heart, but she also knew that the queen's master was unquestionable.

"Erqing is getting old, I want to let her out of the palace, so naturally I can't let her serve you anymore." Rong Yin looked at Mingyu's pitiful appearance and let out a long sigh.

Forget it, let Erqing go out of the palace, out of sight and out of mind, Mingyu doesn't have to be deceived by her again, one inside the palace and one outside the palace, if you don't see her for a long time, she will naturally fade away in the future.

"So that's how it is," Ming Yu raised her head abruptly, her face full of surprise.

"Yes," Rong Yin nodded, "I want to ask for a favor in front of the emperor, so don't tell Er Qing, I want to give her a surprise."

Mingyu nodded in agreement, and suddenly remembered that Erqing was already in her twenties, five or six years older than her, and women from ordinary families had already left the palace to marry. It turned out that the empress was really thinking about Erqing.

"But, Erqing, she must be reluctant to part with the empress." Mingyu thought of herself, if the empress let her out of the palace at this moment, she would not want to, and since Erqing has been with the empress longer than herself, she must be even more reluctant.

Rong Yin snorted softly, she was indeed reluctant, she was reluctant to part with the wealth and honor of the royal family, how could she be reluctant to part with herself?

A gentle smile broke out on the corner of Rong Yin's mouth, and his eyes were full of thinking for Er Qing, "I can't let you stay with me all the time, wasting your youth, and in a few years, you will also go out of the palace and marry a good man."

Mingyu was suddenly mentioned by Rong Yin, her face flushed with shame, she couldn't help but think of how handsome and handsome her future husband would be, preferably like Fucha's guards.

Rong Yin looked at Mingyu's pink and young face with love and compassion, and couldn't help but secretly swear that she would definitely want Mingyu to live a long, happy marriage with Suochuo Hailancha and grow old together.

After resting enough, Rongyin played the violin in a disorderly manner, and the melodious music flew to the blue sky above the Forbidden City. There was a hint of sadness in the joyful music, like the desperate wailing of a bird trapped in a cage.
