Remembrance Hibiscus GL

In July, the heat is unbearable.There are no less than [-] ice cellars in the capital, and there are six in the imperial city. Ice cubes have been dug early in winter for storage.Because the emperor was always afraid of heat, huge glass crystal jars were placed everywhere in Changle Palace, filled with ice cubes half the height of a person, to cool off the heat.

After dinner, candles were lit in the bedroom, and the hall was brightly lit.The eunuch in the respect room came over with a signboard as usual, and as soon as he entered the hall, he felt a sense of coolness rushing towards his face, his body and mind were refreshed, but his expression remained unchanged. The plate is raised above the head.

The emperor only looked at the memorial on the case, kept the ink brush in his hand, and it was Zhao Chengen who laughed at the side and softly called: "Your Majesty." Then the emperor raised his head, glanced at the plate, then frowned and said: "Go."

The eunuch in the respect room bowed his head when he heard the words, and quietly retreated as if he had come.

Halfway through the memorial on the case, the emperor put down his pen, and the imperial dining room just brought iced lotus seed soup, Zhao Chengen personally served it, the emperor took it, took a bite out of it with a spoon, and suddenly said softly: "I will go to the Luqi Palace in the evening. "Zhao Chengen knew that he would say so, thought for a while, and laughed: "Your Majesty, go to Concubine Lian's place. It's not easy to keep records in the respect room. Why don't you go today?"

The emperor glanced at him: "You are doing a good job now, and you have become my master."

Zhao Chengen was so frightened that his face turned pale, he quickly knelt down, and said with a bitter face: "Although Concubine Lian is favored by the emperor, she is still guilty of sin after all. These days, the emperor always goes to Luqi Palace, and there are many discussions in the palace. Many, slaves are also thinking of the emperor."

"Discussion?" The emperor put down the bowl, his face sank slightly: "What are you discussing?"

Zhao Chengen's expression was a bit reluctant: "It's nothing more than some people think that the emperor is like this, it is not in line with the ancestral system, it violates the palace rules, nothing else."

"Very well, the ancestral palace rules have been brought out to suppress me." The emperor sneered: "I didn't know that I am the emperor, and if I want to pamper a woman, I have to listen to other people's gossip."

Zhao Chengen kowtowed his head on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Damn the servant!"

The emperor didn't even look at him, but he stood up and said calmly, "Leave to Luqi Palace."

Due to the recent hot weather, the imperial concubine has lost her appetite more and more. Qinzhu was secretly worried, and specially ordered the kitchen to make a "breeze rice". Reconcile the pulp, put it into a gold jar, and then hang it down in the ice pool to cool it down. It is specially eaten in hot weather. It is very cool and delicious.

During lunch, the imperial concubine ate a few mouthfuls, then put it down again suddenly, Qinzhu laughed with her and said: "Madam, the cook has put in a lot of effort to make this meal, is it okay for you to eat?"

The imperial concubine nodded, but pointed at the rice with her chopsticks: "Here, send some for Concubine Lian to eat."

Qin Zhu was stunned, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, eat first, there are still things, I'll have someone send them over later."

"I'll send it over later." Shu Tong quickly said, and smiled: "Your Majesty really thinks about Miss Lian in everything."

The imperial concubine didn't answer, she lowered her head to drink the soup, but Shutong said again: "Your Majesty hasn't been to Miss Lian's place for a while, and she must be looking forward to it."

Qin Zhu was very clever, knowing that there must be a reason for the imperial concubine not to go to the Lvqi Palace recently, she hurriedly said: "You tell the young master Lian whether the empress will go or not, just worry about her, and when she takes a nap, the empress will still have to go." Go to Funing Palace to see the concubine."

Shutong replied with a smile: "Yes, I understand."

The imperial concubine didn't seem to hear their conversation, so she put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with the moon-white peony and Wanfu pattern satin crotch, and said softly: "Take these away." She glanced at Shutong again: "Tomorrow is Concubine Lian's birthday, you can send the birthday present along with her later."

Lian Zhen knelt on the kang, took the small silver scissors and trimmed the pot of fresh green nandina bamboo on the incense table, Heng Bo stood aside, with a worried look on his face: "Master, you will always say what the slaves say. Do you listen?"

Lian Zhen said: "I'm listening."

"The emperor has changed his mind recently, and he loves the master more, but I see that the master is not happy at all. Is he still resenting the emperor for what happened before?"

Lian Zhen said: "No, I don't blame him."

"My lord, although you are under the care of the imperial concubine, staying in this Luqi palace is not a long-term solution. Right now, the emperor is attached to you, so you need to strike while the iron is hot." Hengbo was anxious, and said word by word: "Little lord Lord, you have to return to Xiefang Palace, you have to conceive a prince, you still have a long way to go, you have to strive for more things step by step, and you can never let yourself repeat the mistakes of Jingxin Palace."

Lianzhen fiddled with the leaves in her hands, and smiled: "Hengbo, do you think I can do it?"

"Why not?" Hengbo stared at her, but gradually lowered his voice: "Master, this servant has been in the palace for many years, and I have seen countless people. To tell you the truth, since the first time I saw you, this servant knew who the young master was. There will be great promise, even when we were in the Jingxin Palace, the servants still thought so in their hearts."

Lian Zhen was silent for a while, then shook her head: "Hengbo, I'm not that ambitious."

Hengbo said: "Master, you must have it, and you must do it. In this harem, there are only two outcomes for a person like you, either you will be a knife and I will be a fish, or you will step on others and get there step by step." Go up above ten thousand people, call the wind and call the rain, and firmly grasp the destiny of the rest of your life."

A pale smile appeared on Lian Zhen's face: "Call the wind and call the rain?"

"Although the imperial concubine has a high status, she has not given birth to a prince. Even if she falls in love with you, she will not be able to take care of you for the rest of your life." Hengbo stared at her and said, "Perhaps, you should hope that you will have the opportunity to repay her in the future. "

Lian Zhen was stunned, and turned her head slowly, but suddenly there was a voice in the yard, and Xiao Jiezi came in and replied: "Master, nobleman Rou is here."

Before Su Yun came in, he smiled and said: "Oh, suddenly there are a lot of people in your palace." A gleam of joy flashed in Lian Zhen's eyes, she got down from the kang, and walked a few steps forward. They sat down together, Hengbo smiled beside him and said, "The last time the emperor came over, he said that there were too few people here to serve him, so all the old people from Xiefang Palace were called here again."

"Your Majesty hasn't seen you for so long, but I think this love is better than before. I'm happy for you, but you don't know how many people in the harem are secretly angry." Su Yun smiled while pursing her lips. , while looking at Lian Zhen, she saw that her brows were slightly frowned, her face was snow-white, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "What's wrong with you? Last time I saw you, you were still radiant. Is this sick?"

Lian Zhen smiled very reluctantly: "What's the matter? Isn't it good?"

Su Yun looked left and right, and said suspiciously: "I look at your expression, there is always something wrong."

Lian Zhen looked out of the window, and said casually: "Maybe there are too many people here, and it's getting more and more stuffy."

Su Yun sighed: "That's true, did the emperor say when he would let you go out?"

"If you want to go out, you have to find a suitable excuse."

Su Yun only thought that she was unhappy about this matter, and put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her: "The matter of Mu Feiyu has nothing to do with you, don't worry, if you wait patiently for a while, the emperor will definitely find a way."

"Yeah." Lian Zhen said, "How is Wen Ying doing recently?"

"It's good. Recently, because of the concubine's illness, she has been in the palace frequently. Whenever she comes, she will come to see me in my palace. I ask you every time. I just wish I couldn't see you."

Lian Zhen looked a little melancholy: "For the few of us, her luck is considered the best."

"Yes." Su Yun didn't want to talk about this topic with her, and looked at her with a smile: "Lian'er, tomorrow is your birthday, I specially asked the emperor to come and see you today, and I will stay with you later It's lunch time, what can you serve me?"

"I have some, and you have them in the palace, but what kind of hospitality do you have?"

The two were chatting and laughing, when Baozhen lifted the curtain and came in with a smile: "My lord, the imperial concubine sent Shutong to deliver something." Lianzhen stood up all of a sudden, and saw Shutong followed Baozhen with a small eunuch When he came in and saw Su Yun, he was startled for a moment, then he bent his knees and said, "My little master Lian, please be well, nobleman Rou."

"Get up."

Lian Zhen stared blankly at the bamboo curtain, as if expecting someone to come out from behind it, but Su Yun stood up, looked at the uncovered food box, and said with a smile: "You can see that I have Koufu, just now you said you have something to eat, is this inconvenient?"

Lianzhen turned her head and glanced into the food box, Shutong hesitated for a moment, and offered another exquisitely carved wooden box: "The empress said, the young master's birthday is tomorrow, this is a birthday gift from the empress. "

Lian Zhen finally couldn't help but said: "She...won't come tomorrow?"

Shutong shook her head: "This, our empress did not say."

Lian Zhen took the box with both hands, the heavy weight seemed to be pressed down on her heart for a moment, she was a little out of breath, but there was still a smile on her face: "Go back and thank your mother for me."

At night, the wooden box was opened, and a pair of jade bracelets lay inside, full of water, as clear and transparent as a pool of clear water, illuminated by the light, shining brightly.

Baozhen laughed beside her and said: "This bracelet is so beautiful, the gift from the imperial concubine is very heavy."

Lianxin was extremely disappointed. Jewelry and jade were not what she wanted. She remembered that day when the two of them were sitting together peeling lotus seeds, and she whispered in her ear: "Lian'er, I'm thinking of you." Birthday..." She didn't have time to finish her words, what exactly did she want to say?Could it be that at that time, she wanted to give her such a pair of bracelets instead of other things?

Lian Zhen sighed quietly, and suddenly said: "Hengbo, I don't want to do this."

Hengbo was taking off the jade hairpin from her head, she couldn't help being startled when she heard this, but she continued: "I don't want to always be like this, when people want to come to my place, they can come, but where I want to go, I can't go .I don’t want to stay here every day, just waiting, just looking forward.”

Hengbo was overjoyed: "My lord, you finally figured it out."

Lian Zhen looked at her beautiful face in the mirror. After a long time, she said softly: "I miss her, I want to see her, I don't want to just wait for her to come to see me, it's very hard..."

Before the words were finished, a voice whispered with a low smile: "Is it very hard to wait for me?"

Hengbo and Baozhen were startled, turned around quickly, and both knelt down: "I have seen the emperor." Only Lianzhen was still sitting there, motionless like a clay sculpture, Hengbo was anxious, and the emperor was all smiles. However, he didn't think he was disobedient at all, he only waved his hand slightly, and Hengbo and others retreated in a hurry.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

The emperor pulled Lian Zhen up and stared at her, but Lian Zhen seemed to have just come to his senses, turned his face away, and said in a low voice: "If this is the case, how can I ask someone to say it a second time."

She had never acted like this in front of the emperor. She looked so shy and coquettish, but she was full of charm and very provocative.The emperor was overjoyed, embraced her in his arms, stroked her satin-smooth long hair, and murmured: "Lian'er, you've been doing this in front of me, you don't know how happy I am, Can you tell me what you just said again?"

Lian Zhen leaned on his shoulder, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I miss you, I don't want to just wait for you to come and see me..."

Hearing her soft and gentle voice, the emperor could not help but hold her tighter, and said softly, "I know I have wronged you for a while, if you have more patience, I won't let you stay here for too long."
