Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Hengbo brought tea in, put down the bamboo curtain, and walked out lightly. Baozhen was holding a pair of shining small silver scissors, and she was pruning flowers and branches in the yard. Lan Di'er is imitating the grasshopper again!"

Hengbo put his finger to his lips, motioning her not to speak loudly, and only when she got closer, he smiled softly: "Masters are inside, and you yelled like this."

Baozhen made a mischievous face and lowered her voice: "What are they doing? Are they playing chess again?"

"No." Hengbo shook his head: "The young master wants to eat lotus seeds, and the imperial concubine is peeling them for her."

Baozhen was extremely surprised, she was stunned for a long time, and her face showed a joyful expression: "The imperial concubine and our young master are getting closer and closer, the two of them are as close as sisters, the young master is really a blessed person, we are also happy now. Then get lucky."

"Isn't it? I see that the young master's complexion has improved a lot recently, and people have become chattering and laughing." Hengbo was relieved, and then ordered: "Stay here, don't wait for the master to do something. , I can't find anyone, so I'll go have some tea with Aunt Sang Rong and Shutong."

Baozhen said: "Understood, you can go." Hengbo Fang smiled and went to the side hall.

Thinly sliced ​​melons, snow lotus roots, and some fresh water chestnuts and loquats are contained in the emerald plates on the kang table, and the breath is full of the faint and sweet fragrance of melons and fruits.

Lian Zhen was wearing a lotus-colored gauze shirt, and propping her chin with her hands while smiling, she suddenly whispered: "How do you know that I want to eat these?"

The imperial concubine lowered her head to peel the lotus seeds, and said in her mouth: "I heard what Baozhen said."

Lian Zhen couldn't help being coquettish: "You damn girl, why don't you tell me everything."

"I know you don't want to eat this, but these are all tribute from Yuezhou, most of them are produced in Lin'an area of ​​Jinling, I think you will like them."

She still didn't raise her head, her earnest appearance was very touching, Lian Zhen looked at her steadfastly, as if she was a little crazy, after a while, Fang softly said: "Enough, don't peel it off."

"That's all, here, eat and see if it's sweet or not." The imperial concubine spread out her palm and handed it over, with a rare child-like joy in her eyes, Lian Zhen looked at her, and silently picked up one. , sent to her lips, with a gentle and sweet voice: "Taste first."

The imperial concubine couldn't help being stunned, Lian Zhen looked at her, there was a hint of a smile in her clear and beautiful eyes, but she stretched out her hand stubbornly despite the faint soreness, the two of them stalemate for a long time, the imperial concubine finally opened her mouth , Subconsciously bit the lotus seed into his mouth, then lowered his head.

Lianzhen seemed to feel that the atmosphere had become a little awkward and delicate, so she took one and ate it, intentionally making her voice lighter: "It's delicious, isn't it? Our lotus seeds and fresh lotus root are the sweetest and crispest in the world." .”

"En." The imperial concubine almost swallowed the lotus seeds whole, and she couldn't tell what the taste was, so she replied vaguely, when she raised her eyes, her expression had returned to normal, and she smiled slightly: "It's really good."

"Let's peel some more, and I'll stew fresh lotus seed soup for you later." Lian Zhen said, got off the kang, walked straight to the imperial concubine, and sat down next to her. The imperial concubine has not been used to this for a long time Getting close, her body froze slightly, and then as if nothing had happened, she peeled lotus seeds with her and stored them in a small silver box.

The flower shadow outside the window swayed and made a slight rustling sound, making the room extremely quiet.The imperial concubine occasionally turned her head, but her eyes just fell on her snow-white neck, subconsciously lowered her eyelids, and her heart gradually became a little impetuous.But since she became an adult, her temperament has become more restrained and introverted. Although she is a little confused at this time, her face is still calm as usual.

Lian Zhen suddenly sighed faintly, breaking the long silence between the two: "If it's like this for the rest of my life, that's fine."

"Forever?" The imperial concubine paused in her hands, frowned and shook her head slightly: "How can you stay here forever? In such a small place, even the sky is such a small piece."

"But I think it's pretty good." Lian Zhen said in a low voice while peeling the lotus seeds: "If it was before, I would still feel lonely and afraid, even...even if Hengbo and Baozhen are by my side... ..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly felt a little hard to continue, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she stopped talking.The imperial concubine was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Lian Zhen, it won't be long before your 17th birthday?"

Lian really couldn't prevent her from mentioning this suddenly, and said in surprise: "How do you know?"

She smiled slightly: "It's just a random guess. Your name is Lian Zhen, and you were probably born when the lotus was in full bloom."

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyes were shining brightly: "There are still more than ten days."

"En." She responded slightly, and stopped talking, but Lian Zhen raised her face, her eyes full of longing: "Can you call me Lian'er? My father, my mother, my brother and sister all call me that .”

Seeing the innocence of her little daughter, the imperial concubine couldn't bear to refuse, her lips moved, and she reluctantly called out: "Lian'er." The voice was a little difficult, as if it took a lot of effort.Lian Zhen didn't notice her strangeness, her mood relaxed instantly, her brows and eyes were curved, and she smiled lightly, but she lowered her pink neck, peeled off the lotus seeds in her hand, and brought them to her lips.

The imperial concubine chewed it carefully a few times, but felt a sweet and crispy juice spread from her tongue, making her mouth full of freshness and fragrance.She glanced at her, and suddenly lowered her voice: "Lian'er, I was thinking about your birthday..."

Before the words were finished, there was a slight commotion outside. The imperial concubine was stunned, and stopped talking. Her eyes looked out of the window through the glass. A bright yellow color shone brightly in the sun. When it came into view, It actually hurts slightly.Lian Zhen followed her gaze, and a smile suddenly froze on her lips.

At this time Baozhen came over in a panic, raised the curtain, and said in a hurried voice: "Mother, my lord, the emperor and noble lord Rou are here."

The Lvqi Palace, which had been cold for a long time, suddenly became lively.Su Yun reunited with Lianzhen, he was very happy, but at this time he couldn't reunite with her as a sister, so he walked up to the imperial concubine and bowed to the imperial concubine in a proper manner: "May your majesty be well." Fang retreated to Lianzhen. Standing beside her, he secretly reached out to grab her hand, but felt that her fingertips were cold, and in surprise, turned his head to look at her.

The emperor lifted his robe, sat down where the imperial concubine had been sitting just now, and said with a smile: "Binglun, I don't want you to be here too."

The imperial concubine also leaned over and sat down opposite him, and smiled faintly: "The concubine is so bored in the palace, I came to find Concubine Lian to say a few words."

Baozhen knelt on the ground and served the tea on top of her head with both hands, the emperor took it and said with a smile: "The flowers in this courtyard are extremely beautiful, but when you stand together, you can compare them all!" Well, today is a coincidence for me to come."

Su Yun tightened Lianzhen's hand in secret, with a sweet smile on his face: "The emperor said that only the imperial concubine and concubine Lian can afford it, don't count the concubine as well."

The emperor looked at Lianzhen carefully while drinking tea, only to feel that she hadn't seen her for half a year, and her brows and eyes seemed to have lost some of her youthful and childishness, but her fragrance was not added, and her icy skin was radiant, like a hibiscus that came out of water, and the quietness of the wind Lan, extremely beautiful and clear, is unstoppable.

Lianzhen could clearly feel his increasingly hot eyes, and a hint of fear arose in her heart, her eyes couldn't help but look at the imperial concubine, only to see that she was holding a teacup, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, as if Unaware of everything around, unaware.Lian really remembered that a moment ago, they were still sitting side by side, whispering, their intimacy was pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, it was only a short distance of a few steps, but it seemed that there was a sudden birth between the two of them. The gap can no longer be one step closer, and I can't help but feel sore.

Several little maids in pink attires filed in, carefully placing the crystal bowls and fine porcelain plates in their hands on the table.Although the imperial concubine does not like extravagance by nature, she does not care about ostentation, and has repeatedly ordered that she should not deduct her own quota and reduce the dishes for meals, but except for soup and cakes, there are still at least eight dishes for each meal.

Qin Zhu took a look at the dishes tonight, reached out and put a plate of steamed shad in lotus leaves and a plate of silver seedling vegetables in front of the imperial concubine, and said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor is staying in the Luqi Palace today. It's time to start."

Shutong followed with a smile and said: "Yes, it's a good thing that the empress has been protecting the young master Lian, otherwise there would be no today. But the emperor's doing this is a bit against the rules."

"Rules? Who dares to talk to the emperor about the rules?" Qin Zhu thought far ahead, but was really worried for Lian: "It's just that, young master Lian will be hated again."

The imperial concubine glanced at them, expressionless: "Is this what you should talk about?"

"The servant is talking too much."

Qinzhu and Shutong glanced at each other, then immediately shut up.The imperial concubine also stopped talking, picked a piece of fish, took a few mouthfuls of bird's nest soup, and then put down the silver spoon.

There was nothing to say after the meal, the imperial concubine sat in front of the desk and read a book for a while, seeing that it was getting late, she got up to take a bath, change clothes and rest.This night it was still Qinzhu's bedtime, waiting for the imperial concubine to go to bed. According to her habit, she left a copper lamp on as usual, and then quietly retreated to her place.

The imperial concubine was lying sideways on the bed, staring blankly at a brocade handkerchief on the pillow. It was embroidered with a few sparse lotus leaves and pink lotus petals. The embroidery was extremely exquisite. Can smell a trace of quiet orchid aroma.She stared at it for a long time, suddenly became inexplicably irritable, and turned around again.

Qin Zhu had been listening attentively, and heard a slight noise coming from the golden silk tent, she sat up quickly, but there was no sound in the tent again, she couldn't help wondering, and slowly leaned back against the wall.

In the middle of the night, drowsiness hit her, and her eyelids gradually became heavy. She was dozing off, but she heard the imperial concubine seem to say: "Go and pour a cup of tea." After a while, a cup of hot tea came over, the imperial concubine sat up, with a tired face, shook her head and said: "Don't want this, it's cold."

Qinzhu had no choice but to go down, and changed to another warm one. The imperial concubine only took a sip before putting it down. There was a layer of anger on her usually indifferent face, which was clearly visible under the Qinzhu lamp, and she was shocked. , the legs softened and immediately knelt down: "Madam, cold tea hurts the stomach, even if you punish the servant, the servant will not dare to let you drink it."

The imperial concubine was stunned for a moment, the color on her face gradually softened, she lowered her head, finished the cup of warm tea one gulp at a time, handed it to Qin Zhu, and said softly, "Go down."

"Yes."

Qin Zhu followed her by her side since she was a child, and she hadn't seen her sullen expression for many years, she was still terrified, and the remaining trace of sleepiness also dissipated, and she didn't dare to be careless, and waited there with extreme caution.In the second half of the night, I only heard the imperial concubine tossing and turning in the tent. It was a night where she had not slept soundly, and it was not like the usual nightmare scene.Qinzhu felt strange, secretly speculated, thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, so he had to let it go.

I don't know why, but I find it difficult to write this chapter. Is it because I don't have enough emotional input?
