Remembrance Hibiscus GL

In the early morning, all the concubines went to the Yonghua Palace to pay their respects to the queen as usual. Concubine Min glanced at the queen indiscriminately, and saw that her eyes were slightly swollen, her face was very pale, and the makeup was thicker than usual. Due to the matter of Princess Lanling, she couldn't help gloating, but she showed respect on her face.After they were seated, a little maid served tea.

The queen smiled slightly at the imperial concubine, and said politely: "This spring Jiangnan and Shu have newly tributed a lot of silk and silk brocades, and the House of Internal Affairs just presented them yesterday. My younger sister will go through them first, and then distribute them to the palaces according to regulations. Now concubine Lian is locked up in Luqi Palace, the emperor specially asked her younger sister to take care of her, and the rest are not allowed to come in and out at will, I thought, she has to trouble my younger sister to send her there."

The imperial concubine smiled lightly: "It's not a big deal, just send it over with a random servant."

Concubine Li had a meaningful look on her face, and interjected: "The Imperial Concubine takes great care of Concubine Lian."

The imperial concubine glanced at her, with a smile that was not a smile: "Concubine Li, what you mean is to complain that the palace treats one more than another, and doesn't take care of other people in the palace?"

Concubine Li was swept away by her gaze, she felt a little apprehensive for no reason, and explained with a shy expression: "Don't be careless, imperial concubine, concubine...that's not what I mean by concubine."

Concubine Min put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "Concubine Li is now proud of the spring breeze, and she is really childish to be jealous with a person who has lost the emperor's favor. Don't worry, if someday you will also be imprisoned by the emperor Jingxin Palace, I believe the queen and imperial concubine will also take care of you."

Concubine Li was so angry that her almond eyes widened, she stood up from the chair in a huff, pointed at Concubine Min and was speechless: "You...you..."

The queen looked upset, and said: "Okay, what's the matter with you two, there is not a day when you don't agree with each other, it seems that in my Yonghua Palace, there is no need to abide by this rule."

Although her voice was soft, she was obviously really angry. From the imperial concubine down, everyone left their seats. Concubine Min explained with a smile: "I don't have any other intentions, it's just a joke with Sister Li Concubine. I also ask the queen to calm down."

The queen rubbed her temples lightly with her fingers, and after a while, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, let's go."

After leaving the Yonghua Palace, Su Yun mustered up the courage to catch up with the imperial concubine, bowed his knees and saluted: "Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine stopped in front of the sedan chair, looked at her and said, "What is it?"

Su Yun's face flushed slightly, and he stammered: "I...I want to ask my mother about Lianzhen's situation, but I can't see her."

Said that the circles of her eyes were red, the imperial concubine stared at her for a while, but her tone was very soft: "She is fine, you don't have to worry."

Su Yun said: "Then... can you ask your mother to bring something for Princess Ying and me?"

The imperial concubine said: "No need, she has all the daily allowances, and she doesn't lack anything, but I will pass on your thoughts to her."

Su Yun said eagerly: "There is nothing else, just some pastries and a few skirts that I personally made for her."

The imperial concubine pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, you can ask someone to bring the things to my palace when the time comes."

"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Su Yun was overjoyed, and knelt down: "My concubine is really thanking my majesty for your kindness on behalf of Lian."

"Get up, don't be so polite."

The imperial concubine raised her chin, and Qinzhu hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Yun up: "My lord, please get up quickly." When Su Yun looked up, the imperial concubine had already got into the sedan chair. She was delighted and stood there blankly. , watched the warm sedan chair go away, then turned and walked towards his own sedan chair.

After taking a nap for a while, the maid serving the water came over with a silver basin filled with hot water sprinkled with spices. Lingque and Qiaoying were waiting for Concubine Min to wash up when she suddenly heard someone report: "The emperor is here."

Concubine Min was overjoyed, she quickly got up and went to the door to greet her, she saw the emperor walking from the courtyard with his hands behind his back, Zhao Chengen and others followed closely behind, Concubine Min hurriedly blessed: "May the emperor be safe and secure."

"Get up."

The emperor reached out to hold her hand, and they sat down on the kang in the inner room together. Seeing her languid expression, with black hair scattered on her chest, he couldn't help stretching out his hand to play with her: "Did you just wake up?"

"Ah."

Concubine Min leaned against her, and answered obediently. Seeing this situation, the maids who were serving her backed away knowingly. The emperor said: "Teacher has praised Lie'er in front of me several times, saying that he is smart and hardworking. Tete summoned Lie'er to Changle Palace and asked about his homework."

Concubine Min's heart was suspended in the air, and she raised her head from his embrace: "Then... Was Lie'er troubled by the emperor?"

The corner of the emperor's mouth raised a smile: "No, the answer is quite fluent."

Concubine Min was full of joy: "Lie'er is smart, that's like an emperor."

"Really?" The emperor smiled slightly: "His mother and concubine are also very thoughtful."

"Your majesty, you are making fun of my concubine again." Concubine Min buried her head in his arms again, and said with a smile: "Since the emperor is satisfied today, I, the mother and concubine, will beg for reward for the emperor."

The emperor let go of her, leaned half on the stone-blue golden thread pillow, looked at her and said, "Okay, what do you want?"

Concubine Min cast a sideways glance at him, coquettish and annoyed: "Then I'll have to you, father, to see what Lie Er still lacks."

The emperor didn't answer her words, he habitually stroked the emerald jade on his thumb, and was silent in thought. Concubine Min saw that he had been silent for a long time, although she was anxious, her face was very calm.After a while, the emperor said: "The concubine has been ill for the past few months, and her comings and goings have dragged on."

Concubine Min was stunned, then smiled and said: "After all, Concubine Tai is old, it is normal to suffer from three illnesses and two pains, and the concubine is fine for the time being, as long as she lives well and rests."

The emperor let out a soft "huh" and said again: "The empress mentioned this to me yesterday, saying that the concubine is ill, and it would be inconvenient for Xu'er to be raised in her palace. I would like to ask for an order to raise Xu'er in Yonghua Palace middle."

Concubine Min's heart sank slightly, and she said after a while: "Then... the emperor agreed?"

"No." The emperor smiled, his dark eyes were bottomless, he looked at her and said: "I intend to send Xu'er to be raised by the imperial concubine, but I haven't mentioned this to the imperial concubine yet."

Lian Zhen turned a blind eye to the gorgeous and radiant silk brocades on the kang, but took the box of pastries sent by the imperial concubine Su Yuntuo as a precious treasure, and personally packed them and placed them on the sandalwood On the small table, he picked up the flower-scattered Ruyi Yunyan skirt and compared it to his body, and then asked happily: "What else did Yun'er tell you? Is Wenying also there?"

Seeing that she was as happy as a child, the imperial concubine couldn't help showing a slight smile in her eyes, and shook her head: "Princess Ying is not here, it was Rou noble who found me alone, she just asked me to tell you that she misses you very much. You must take care of yourself."

Lian Zhen put down her skirt and said quietly: "I don't know when and what month I can meet them."

The imperial concubine said: "Aren't you unwilling to go out?"

Lian Zhen saw a trace of teasing on her face, and blushed slightly: "But I will still miss them."

Before the imperial concubine could speak, Hengbo walked in through the curtain, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, my lord, the lunch is ready, do you want to serve it now?"

The imperial concubine nodded: "Just put the food on the kang table."

"Yes."

This is the first time for the imperial concubine to eat with Lianzhen, Lianzhen is really happy, and personally serves the soup with Baozhen.Because it is already spring, there are a lot of seasonal fresh food. Stir-fried minced meat with Chinese toon sprouts, stir-fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, and anchovy shrimp. The dishes look attractive in color and tender, and the desserts are soft cakes and goose Pastry is different.

Although the imperial concubine has never been greedy for food, her appetite is better than usual, and she especially loves the plate of roast goose with bamboo shoots in Yingzui. After eating a few chopsticks, she asked Baozhen: "You cook today's dishes?"

Baozhen was a little embarrassed: "Our little master said that it was the first time for the empress to eat with us, and asked the servants to carefully prepare some home-cooked dishes and cakes from our Jinling."

"Yes, who did you learn your cooking skills from?"

"I learned something from the chef in our mansion that day, and Madam also gave some advice."

The imperial concubine was startled: "Ma'am?"

Lianzhen pursed her lips and smiled: "It's my mother."

Baozhen spoke quickly: "Our wife is gentle and virtuous. She is good at cooking and sewing. She taught us many things in person. These young ladies... no, the young master can do it too."

"Really?" The imperial concubine looked at Lian Zhen, nodded and said: "Yes, like a mother, like a daughter."

Lian Zhen annoyed Bao Zhen: "No one is so boastful, and they are not afraid of being laughed at."

Baozhen hurriedly shut up, but the imperial concubine was amiable: "You are very hardworking, these dishes are not inferior to the royal chef in the palace."

Baozhen was overjoyed: "Really? The slave girl was worried at first, for fear that the mother would not be used to eating."

The imperial concubine put down the ebony and silver inlaid chopsticks in her hand, and said with a smile: "Well, I want to reward you today. What do you want, go tell Aunt Sang Rong."

Baozhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Madam, for the reward."

After eating, Hengbo and Baozhen waited for them to rinse their mouths, and removed the cups and plates, Lian Zhen said: "You don't need to wait, go down and eat."

"Yes."

Lian Zhen went to make a bowl of steaming scented tea by herself, and brought it in person on a small tea tray. The imperial concubine reached out to take it, and when their hands touched, Lian Zhen quickly let go, feeling a little embarrassed, and drooped slightly. Head: "It is said that the emperor wants to move to Xiyuan for a while."

"Ah."

A trace of panic flashed across Lian Zhen's heart: "Then... Then don't you want to go there too?"

The imperial concubine took a sip of scented tea, only to feel the rich fragrance and sweet aftertaste, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The emperor always likes to stay in Xiyuan and Nanyuan, but because of the ancestor's rules, he can't live there all year round. But Every time he goes, he doesn't move the entire harem there, he brings as many concubines as he likes, so you have stopped me from asking."

Lian Zhen felt a little bored and didn't answer. The imperial concubine said again: "Xiyuan is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there are several hot springs. The emperor wanted to move there last winter, but was discouraged by several ministers. In my opinion , this year may not be able to do so.”

Lian was overjoyed, and was about to ask her why, but saw the imperial concubine looking at her: "That day, you said that I reminded you of your sister?"

"Yeah." Lian Zhen was slightly taken aback, and replied, "I'm the youngest in my family, and I have an older brother and two older sisters."

The imperial concubine said: "They must love you very much."

"My parents, brothers and sisters love me very much." Lian Zhen looked melancholy and sad, and after a while forced to smile: "What about you? You also have brothers and sisters, right? You and them..." Before finishing speaking, She felt the smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and there seemed to be a sharp arrow of ice flashing in her eyes, Lian Zhen couldn't help shivering, and said in a low voice: "You..."

The imperial concubine lowered her eyelids, took a sip of the tea, and when she raised her head again, the smile on her face was as warm as a spring breeze: "This scented tea is very fragrant, it must have been picked by your master and servant, and if you still Yes, bring some back to the palace for me to taste."
