Confused the world

"Sister Cheng'er, is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by the imperial dining room?"

Lan Huijun held a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in one hand and ate it happily, as if eating such delicious food for the first time, with a happy smile on her face.

"This is made by my maid. She cooks very well."

Mu Qingcheng took a sip of tea, and spoke to Lan Fei with a smile.For this lovely Concubine Lan, she has a sense of intimacy in her heart.

Such a woman in the harem is rare, innocent and lovely.The heart is completely unaffected by the complicated rules and intrigues in this palace.

"No wonder, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in my palace is not as delicious as Cheng'er sister's. Cheng'er sister, can you send me some, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really delicious."

"Okay, after a while, my sister sent someone to send it to my sister's palace."

"Sister Cheng'er, since I gave it to Concubine Lan, why don't all the sisters in the palace give some, lest someone gossip about it."

Han Yu'er heard that the two were so enthusiastic, completely ignoring that there were other people, and it was inevitable that she felt a little upset.

"My sister didn't think so much, thanks to Sister Han's reminder. Tomorrow, my sister will make more, so that all sisters can eat enough."

Hearing the concubine De's words was harsh, but Mu Qingcheng felt that it made sense.In this harem, all aspects must be taken care of. If one is careless and neglects one side, someone may report that he is at odds with a concubine of which palace tomorrow.

Just talking, suddenly remembered the biggest master here, and I completely forgot about him.

"Elder Sister Empress, how is the Empress Dowager these days? My sister is recuperating in the palace, but she didn't go to pay her respects, and I feel a little guilty."

"Sister, don't worry, the queen mother is fine. She also keeps track of her body day and night, so I specially ordered my sister to come and have a look today."

After being left out for so long, the master finally saw himself.Although Ouyang Qingxue felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't care too much about it.

Coming to this Snow Jade Palace today has gained a lot, this Xianfei is really different from the ones I have seen before.

People have many faces, but this concubine Xian has so many faces that people can't see her original appearance.Maybe today is her true face.

"The empress dowager is benevolent, my sister made her grow old... and made her worry."

Mu Qingcheng turned her peachy eyes, originally wanted to say "her old man", but then thought about it again, this queen mother is only thirty years old, using "old man" is a bit too much.

It takes so much effort to speak in the palace, it's really overwhelming.

"The Queen Mother will be happy when my sister recovers."

In a blink of an eye, I looked at the guqin by the window, it was a famous piano.

I remember that when choosing a concubine, the music Mu Qingcheng played was really not good, it was messy.However, those who understand temperament can listen carefully and can hear that there are actually certain rules in those temperaments.If you listen to it according to that rule, it is a rare piece of music.

It's a pity that the piece was terminated due to the breaking of the strings, otherwise the piece would have won the championship.

When I entered the hall, I also saw the paintings and calligraphy here. How deep is this person hiding?Thinking of her ridiculous poems and paintings when choosing a concubine, look here again.Take a closer look, the brushwork is obviously from the handwriting of one person.

Does this concubine want to hide herself, or show off her talent on purpose?Ouyang Qingxue looked at it with her dark eyes for a long time, but she didn't see any flaws in the end.

"Your sister likes to play the piano every day?"

Wei Shuang'er also saw that famous Qin, since ancient times, whoever loves Qin would not wish to have a good Qin, but seeing this rare late Tang famous Qin here today, she also knows that this virtuous concubine is not a person seeking fame.

The strings are spotless, indicating that the owner wipes them frequently.The marks left by sitting on the qin seat for a long time indicate that the owner of this qin must have played it often.The worn-out books next to the piano stand show that this person is a book lover.

This virtuous concubine has been in the palace for more than half a month, and the number of times I have seen her can be counted on the fingers, but every time this person exudes a reassuring aura.Peace of mind, it is easy for people to let go of their guard, especially in this harem.Isn't everyone doing it for His Majesty's favor?

A few days ago, I heard from the palace people that His Majesty came to Xueyu Palace in the middle of the night, but left with a tense face in just a few minutes.

Your Majesty is cold-tempered, but he has never been so displeased with any concubine before, and this Xian concubine did it easily.

You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.I still have a lot of thoughts on this concubine Xian.

"Sister Guifei, how do you know? My sister seldom steps out of the bedroom on weekdays, and she will play a song when she is bored."

Mu Qingcheng looked at Wei Shuang'er with a smile, this person must be the most careful here.He seemed amiable, but that kind of defensiveness was always on his face.

"I saw a piano in front of the window. My sister also said that she wanted to practice the piano in the yard just now. I also know that my sister usually likes to play the piano."

"It is said that my sister is a talented woman who is rare to see in a hundred years. When I saw her today, she really lived up to her reputation. She is as meticulous as a needle, and she is proficient in everything. Among the folks, a piece of calligraphy and painting by my sister is worth ten thousand gold."

Mu Qingcheng met Wei Shuang'er's dark pearly eyes with a smile on her face, and what she said just now was not false.

Among the folks, her calligraphy and paintings are really valuable.Some literati and refined scholars would rather go bankrupt for a pair of her calligraphy and paintings.

"Sister, I'm honored. Didn't Concubine Lan say she was going to enjoy the flowers in the Imperial Garden? My sister sees that the sun hasn't risen yet, so it's a good time to go now. If it's later, I'm afraid I'll suffer from heatstroke."

Seeing this virtuous concubine praising herself so much, Wei Shuang'er felt a little unnatural.Here, apart from Concubine De and Concubine Lan, they were all the most talented women in the imperial capital back then.This kind of self-exaltation will make others feel uncomfortable.

If you can offend people less in the palace, you will offend them less, so you want to spend your life quietly, without begging for anything else, and don't want to join the fights of other concubines.

"That's true. What do you think, sisters? Going to see the flowers before the sun is strong can also be fun."

Mu Qingcheng had long hoped that these people would leave as soon as possible. It's not that he didn't welcome them, but he didn't want them to stay in the palace for a long time and cause other troubles.

"My sister said, let's go together."

Ouyang Qingxue led the crowd away, and Dong Xue also followed Mu Qingcheng, not daring to leave even half a step.

When I arrived at the Royal Garden, it was really beautiful to see the colorful flowers all over the garden.

It is said that the pear blossoms in the imperial capital are the most beautiful scenery in the world, and they are known as the "Snowland on the Snow". Today, the sight of the flowers blooming in the imperial garden may not be inferior to the pear blossoms.

"This is the first time my younger sister has seen such a beautiful scenery. In addition to the pear blossoms in March, this imperial capital can also see such beautiful scenery in June. This life is enough."

Mu Qingcheng gently touched a red petal with her slender fingers, bent over to smell the fragrance of the flower, and expressed her inner admiration with emotion.

"No matter how beautiful the flowers here are, they can't compare to the beauty of the hundred gardens in the forbidden area. I often hear those palace people say that there is a hundred gardens behind this glass palace. Every summer, the flowers bloom like a fairyland. The fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, which can make people lose their minds. , Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to see it.”

Han Yuer plucked a flower, and grabbed the petals one by one, her face full of pity.

Mu Qingcheng didn't know, so this palace still has a forbidden area, and it's still a very beautiful place, so she was curious.

"What is the forbidden place that Sister Han mentioned? Which sister's bedroom is this Liuli Palace?"

"Pfft, sister, you have been in the palace for so long, you don't know who lives in this Liuli palace?"

After hearing Mu Qingcheng's words, Han Yu'er couldn't help laughing.Covering his mouth with his right hand, he was afraid that he would lose his image when he laughed.

"Sister Cheng'er really doesn't know whose bedroom this Liuli Palace is?"

Lan Huijun asked Mu Qingcheng curiously with staring eyes, as a foolish person, she knew who the owner of the Liuli Palace was from the first day she entered the palace. She seemed much smarter than herself, how could she not know?

"Sister really doesn't know, is she someone who can't be offended?"

"Of course we can't offend you. That's His Majesty's bedroom. Sister Cheng'er also pays attention to the affairs of this palace on weekdays, so as not to make a joke."

Lan Huijun saw Mu Qingcheng's puzzled face, and knew that she really didn't know.

This person cared less about the affairs of the palace than himself, so he said something too much.Although I have the favor of His Majesty, I can live the current life, but accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and I have never dared to go half a step beyond the pond.

"Thank you sister for your concern, but what's going on with this forbidden place?"

This forbidden place is just behind the Liuli Palace, so Mu Qingcheng is a little curious.If it is really as beautiful as in the legend, I would be ashamed of myself for not taking a look.

"This forbidden place was originally built by the late emperor for the sick Empress Renxiao. The late emperor hoped that these flowers would make Empress Renxiao feel happy and recover from her serious illness as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the hundred gardens were built less than five years later. Empress Renxiao died of illness. The late emperor wanted to commemorate Empress Renxiao , people are not allowed to set foot in the Hundred Gardens, and those who violate it will be punished. Since then, it has become a forbidden area."

Wei Shuang'er explained from the side that she was also curious about Baihuayuan after being in the palace for so many years.If no one set foot there, how could there be such a beautiful scene? It is estimated that a palace official broke in out of curiosity.

"It turns out that the first emperor was also an infatuated person."

I have also heard many stories about the late emperor among the people. Although it is the first time I know this, I also know that the late emperor was also an infatuated person.

Looking at the concubines, I thought of His Majesty today.I also wondered why His Majesty was not as infatuated as the late emperor. Looking at these women, I remembered when I would become the sister of other concubines.Since ancient times, the emperors are so ruthless, and if they pay their hearts, they will be miserable for a lifetime.

Think about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Golden House Cangjiao", that is the fate of real women in the palace.

Empress Changsun's heart is like a mirror, and she can choose other women for Tang Taizong.Giving one's own man to another woman, which woman can do such a thing, and which woman has such a heart,

I am just an ordinary woman, I don't want to be the emperor's favorite concubine, I just look forward to leaving the palace as soon as possible, away from this palace.

"I heard that there is a beautiful woman haunting Baihuayuan late at night. I don't know if it is a human or a ghost. The woman is as beautiful as a fairy, and her eyes are blue."

Han Yu'er is like a gossip woman, in this palace she can say whatever she wants, and she doesn't shy away from it.

"Okay, you don't have to care about the forbidden area anymore. You just need to know, don't sneak a look, if you are seen by others, you will definitely cause disaster. It's getting late, leave early, go back to the palace and have a good rest. "

Ouyang Qingxue saw that the Concubine De was going to say something messy again, so she quickly changed the subject to stop it.

Everyone saw that the empress was a little displeased, so they all said something and didn't leave.
