Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Xiefang Palace is a second-entry courtyard, with the main entrance facing south. Turn around the stone screen wall at the entrance, and pass through an empty courtyard to the Ningxiang Hall in the main hall. There are two huge ancient locust trees in front of the Ningxiang Hall, which are said to have existed in the previous dynasty. , There are thrones, screens, incense tables, palace fans, etc. in the hall, on which is hung the plaque of "Yude Gongwei" written by Emperor Shizong of this dynasty. This is the place where the emperor officially received him when he was lucky.

The backyard is not as solemn as the front yard. There is a small garden. At this time, exotic flowers are competing to bloom, and the flowers are full of colorful colors. The scenery is really gratifying.The two sides of the garden are like the front yard, with three auxiliary halls in the east and west. At this time, the nobleman Su Yun lives in the east, and the nobleman Qing lives in the west.

Lian really packed Jing lightly, didn't have many things, and moved in quickly.But when she saw that she had been made a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and now she was occupying the main seat in Xiefang Palace, she couldn't help but feel a little ostentatious, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, but Baozhen and Zhurui were very happy. Followed her to the Ningxiang Hall to accept the worship of everyone.

As soon as he sat down, a little court lady had already handed him tea, Lian Zhen stretched out her hand to take it with a smile, the chief inner eunuch and the maid in charge had already led the crowd to kowtow, and they knelt down on the floor.

"The slave Xie Fang Palace chief eunuch Xie Tong Jie sees the master, may the master be blessed and safe!"

"The servant Qiu Hengbo, the maid in charge of the Fang Palace, has a meeting with the master. I wish the master good luck and well-being!"

Although Sang Rong had tirelessly taught the various etiquette and rules of Lianzhen Palace, Lianzhen was still only a 16-year-old girl after all, and she was unavoidably flustered when she saw such a battle for the first time. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, Gathering his mind, Fang said, "Tong Jie?"

The eunuch was about twenty or so years old, and there was a hint of cleverness in the corners of his brows and eyes. Hearing her question, he hurriedly said, "Back to my little master, the name of this slave is the child of the young boy, the agent of the honest man, you call me Xiao Jie will do."

Lianzhen nodded with a smile, and glanced at Qiu Hengbo again. Seeing that she was about thirty, with a beautiful appearance and a quiet temperament, especially a pair of water-cut pupils full of passion, she was secretly startled: "Sure enough, the most beautiful woman in the world is a complete collection." They are all in the palace, and any maid in the palace is so outstanding." She praised in her mouth: "Sure enough, the eyes are like the waves of autumn water, this name is a good one."

There was a trace of shame on Hengbo's face: "Young Master's beautiful words really make Hengbo feel ashamed."

Lianzhen raised her hands slightly: "Okay, get up, we will be together from now on, as long as you work hard, I won't treat you badly." Turning her head to Baozhen, she said: "Reward " Zhurui brought out a tray earlier, each with a pair of silver ingots, Baozhen took another pair of golden hairpins for Hengbo, and a pair of small gold ingots for Xiao Jiezi.

Everyone hurriedly thanked her, Hengbo saw that Lianzhen looked a little tired, so he persuaded: "Master must be tired after working hard all day today, how about going back to the room and resting?"

Lianzhen nodded, Hengbo hurriedly stepped forward and helped her back to the room with Baozhen, but just after returning, she sat down by the bed, but Su Yun and Qinggui came in to salute her with happy faces, and she had to get up again.There were many people coming and going on this day, and many concubines from the harem came with many rewards, after all, they had no time to be free, even dinner was useless, and it was not until late at night that Xiefang Palace quieted down.

The first time I entered the palace, the glazed eaves under the blue sky and white clouds, the gorgeous and exquisite palace pavilions, and the stretching white marble steps. . . . . . .Everything made Li Mao feel a little dazed, and the leading eunuch shook his whisk lightly, and said with a smile, "Doctor Li, please follow me." Li Mao hurriedly calmed down his expression, picked up the medicine box and followed behind him.

All the way around the corridor and across the bridge, wearing flowers and willows, after walking for a long time, they came to a palace room. Two little maids with double buns just came out. When they saw the eunuch, they said, "Why did you come here at this time, Madam?" Waiting."

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, yes!"

Li Mao lowered his head, not daring to look more, and not daring to take a single step. Following the eunuch, he turned through several corner gates, walked around the garden, and climbed the steps from the side before entering the gate of the main hall. Seeing that there is a throne in the hall, and behind the throne are twelve screens painted with phoenix and jade carvings, and smelling Su Hexiang faintly in his nose, knowing that he has arrived at the imperial concubine's bedroom, he hastily lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes,

The eunuch had already stopped outside the hall, replaced another court lady, led her to the Xici room where the imperial concubine was resting, knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty Li Mao sees your empress."

No one responded, but another maid's voice said: "Your Majesty is sick and troubled, you don't need too many people to wait on you, you all go down."

A few people followed and agreed to retreat, and the room became quieter. Li Mao knelt on the ground and waited patiently. Finally, a pleasant voice came to his ears: "Are you Li Daozhong's son?"

"Yes."

"Is your father okay?"

Li Mao hurriedly said: "Ms. Cheng is concerned, she's getting better these two days."

"Before you entered the palace, did your father tell you anything?"

Li Mao was stunned for a moment, and said: "My father said that my mother's kindness to our Li family is as great as a mountain, so I must be loyal to my mother and serve my mother with all my heart."

"Oh? There are so many masters in the palace, do you want to be loyal to me alone?"

Her tone seemed to be careless, but Li Mao fell on the ground like a thorn on his back, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, and after holding back for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty's kindness to father's life, even if Li Mao is smashed to pieces, he will not be able to repay it."

After a long while, I heard the voice say lightly: "Okay, show me this disease." When he said that, he stretched out a slender hand from the tent and placed it on the jade pillow on the red sandalwood table outside. He took a brocade handkerchief and covered her wrist.

Li Maoru met Amnesty, walked forward on his knees, stretched out his hand to hold her wrist through the brocade handkerchief, felt for her pulse, and said in a low voice: "I dare you, please take a look at Fengyan."

The imperial concubine said softly: "Qinzhu."

The palace lady named Qinzhu hurriedly hung up a phoenix tent, Li Mao suddenly got the courage to look up, but felt that the woman on the bed was more beautiful than snow, and her eyes were so clear that no one dared to look directly at her. "Before I came here, I had already read the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang for my mother. According to my humble opinion, there is nothing wrong with the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Wang. I think that your mother thinks that medicine is difficult to import. In this case , I added another medicine to the prescription, and the empress will try it later to see if it will be better."

"Very good, Qinzhu." The imperial concubine raised her chin slightly, and Qinzhu came over with two big gold ingots. Li Mao was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these... I deserve it."

"Take it, we will be rewarded for meeting for the first time today."

Although her tone was calm and calm, Li Mao could not refuse, so he had to accept it: "Thank you for your reward, I will leave."

After leaving the Qingquan Palace, a gust of breeze blew by and her body was cool. Only then did Li Mao realize that she was soaked in sweat. She let out a long breath and smiled bitterly in her heart: "Sure enough, the gate of the palace is as deep as the sea. Look at it. Lai Dad is right, my days from now on will not be as peaceful and happy as before."

As soon as Li Mao left, Concubine Min came to Qingquan Palace to pay his respects, the imperial concubine was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, when she turned around, she was already smiling and saluting: "I heard that the imperial concubine has been ill for the past two days, and my concubine is here to pay her respects."

The imperial concubine smiled lightly: "Don't worry about it, Qinzhu, why don't you ask someone to make tea."

"Yes."

As soon as Qinzhu turned the screen, he saw Concubine Li waddling in, and said with a blessing: "Greetings to Concubine Li."

Concubine Li nodded slightly, and once she entered the Nuan Pavilion, she raised her voice and said, "Oh, I didn't expect Concubine Min to be here, what a coincidence."

Concubine Min sat leaning on the embroidered pier, wanting to get up, she smiled and said: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Concubine Li ignored her, and bowed to the imperial concubine, "Greetings to the empress."

"Forget it, sit down."

When he was talking, the little palace maid had already brought tea, and the green tea soup in the two white jade bowls set off really nicely, and there was a lingering tea fragrance in the air.

Concubine Min flipped the lid of the tea, blew lightly, and said casually: "Your Majesty is not feeling well this time, so it's a pity that I missed the selection in Yongchun Palace."

Concubine Li didn't wait to finish listening, she sneered and said, "What's the pity, it's just to see a few people, who hasn't seen the imperial concubine? If Sister Min Concubine thinks it's a pity, she should ask the emperor on the same day, and accompany the emperor and Empress, let's go and see the scene together."

According to the rules of the Yan Dynasty, only imperial concubines and empresses are eligible to accompany the emperor to pick girls. When Concubine Min heard this, she couldn't help being furious, but her tone became more gentle and amiable: "How can I have such a blessing, I just heard that, This time, all the girls who were picked up this time were talented and beautiful, especially Xie Lianzhen from the Jinling Mansion, who was conferred the title of Concubine Lian as soon as she entered the palace. Alas, this is an unprecedented precedent in this dynasty. Thinking back when my sister entered the palace, Even though he is favored by the emperor in every possible way, he is only a small chosen servant, this is really..."

When she said this, she deliberately stopped talking and lowered her head to drink tea. Concubine Li's face instantly became extremely ugly. She was stunned for a while before trying to force a smile: "There are as many beauties in the harem as crucian carp crossing the river. The emperor's heart is not It's so easy to tie, so what about being a concubine? It's just a novelty for a while, like an imperial concubine, if the emperor treats her like a day for several years, that's the real favor."

The imperial concubine had been sitting quietly drinking tea, as if she had never heard of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two of them, at this moment she just laughed it off and didn't answer.

Concubine Min smiled and said: "The imperial concubine is very comparable, but the emperor has always admired her younger sister's appearance, and even gave her title a word 'Li'. She loves her very much, but this new concubine is so young and stunning. Qingcheng, my sister now has a strong rival, even my sister, I can't help but worry about my sister."

Concubine Li couldn't bear it any longer, and said with a sneer: "My sister keeps praising her for being beautiful and young, it seems that she thinks she is old and decrepit."

Concubine Min didn't care, and said with a smile: "My sister's beauty has always envied me, but although I am crazy about how much older you are, I still dare not call you old. If I remember correctly, the imperial concubine is the same age as me .”

Concubine Li's heart trembled, and she hurriedly defended herself to Concubine Huang: "Concubine Huang, that's not what I meant."

"It doesn't matter." The imperial concubine smiled, but her brows and eyes were light, she turned her head and said, "Qinzhu, is my medicine ready?"

It was obvious that the order to evict guests was issued. Concubine Min and Concubine Li were clear in their hearts, they stood up one after another, and went down with smiles: "Don't disturb the imperial concubine to take medicine, I will take my leave."

"Sit down."

Concubine Li said: "Come visit my sister some other day." As she said that, she gave Concubine Min a hard look, and went away full of displeasure, Concubine Min smiled, and then left Qingquan Palace.

The room became quiet again, Qinzhu and Shutong looked at each other, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, Shutong said with a smile: "I heard them keep saying that the concubine Lian didn't know what she looked like, is she really so beautiful? It seems that she is here This palace is going to be the target of public criticism."

The imperial concubine was reading with a volume of books in her hand. Hearing what she said, she glanced over and said, "Speak too much."

Shutong smiled and changed the subject: "Madam, are you hungry? There is rock sugar lotus seed porridge stewed in the small kitchen. May I get you a bowl?"

"Ah."

Shutong went out, but the imperial concubine sighed softly, and Qinzhu said with concern: "Your Majesty, what's the matter? But what's wrong?"

"No." She put the book aside, with a look of boredom on her brows: "I'm just thinking, do I really want to spend the rest of my life in their struggle?"
