Tangled

When the hibiscus flowers are in full bloom, the imperial palace is once again full of red makeup.The main palace door opened, and the princess's sedan chair slowly walked out. Under the red gauze, the Heshuo in a black wedding dress had a hazy face, but the smile between his brows was very clear.

At this point, the concubines in the harem learned that the emperor's son-in-law was the second son of Jiangnan Feng's family, and he had already entered Beijing when the emperor ordered someone to prepare a dowry for the princess.

Tracing back to the origin, it turned out that when the emperor was on a tour to the south, the two met by chance and fell in love at first sight.

"From the moment Heshuo stepped out of the palace gate, he was no longer a princess, but a commoner." Zhou Zhaoyi stood on the Lanyue Pavilion, watching the red dragon walk out of the palace from a distance, feeling sad.

Mu Luoluo remained silent, the ancestor of the Feng family trained men not to be officials, if He Shuo still retained the status of princess, then the emperor's son-in-law would also be considered an official.

"That's right, there is no difference between left and right." Su Qingwan raised her head slightly, with a breeze blowing on her face, "During festivals, His Majesty will still give vegetables and gifts to the Feng family."

"Yes, I have left the palace from now on. I don't know how free I am." Zhou Zhaoyi sighed, and stopped looking at the procession of seeing off the relatives, and turned to leave.

"Sister Zhou." Su Qingwan called out.

Zhou Zhaoyi stopped and looked back, "What?"

"Princess Helun is about to reach her age, does my sister have someone in mind?" Su Qingwan also turned around and looked at Zhou Zhaoyi.

"He Lunfei is not the eldest, and he is not to be favored. Zuo is just old enough to give a marriage to anyone." Zhou Zhaoyi smiled wryly, mocking himself.

"I heard that the Shen family has a son, and his hair is tied up now. He is about the same age as Princess Helun. Why don't you ask His Majesty to marry the princess into the Shen family?" Su Qing turned around and looked into the distance, "Although the Shen family is nothing A family of aristocratic family, after all, is also a family of officials and officials, so there is nothing wrong with His Majesty bestowing a marriage."

Zhou Zhaoyi didn't answer the conversation, but left slowly after being silent for a while.

Su Qingwan didn't look back, looking down from Lanyue Pavilion, overlooking the entire imperial city, the streets and alleys are like a chessboard that hasn't been laid yet.

·

"This Youhuang Pavilion is really much better than the Ziyu Pavilion." Su Qingwan closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and the refreshing bamboo fragrance was refreshing.

"Today, the imperial concubine invited the theater troupe to perform a shadow play, but you didn't even go to see it." Mu Luoluo shook her round fan, and there were blossoming golden chrysanthemums soaking in the glazed pot in front of her.

"The drama in Yanqing Palace hasn't stopped since the day the crown prince was established, so what's so interesting about it." Su Qingwan opened her eyes, and gave Mu Luoluo a meaningful glance, "It's better to seek peace here."

Mu Luoluo smiled and shook her head, looking down at the blank rice paper, "The third screen is bamboo, what kind of bamboo?"

"White snow and red plums, blue orchids in the empty valley, strong wind bamboo, and proud chrysanthemums in cold frost." Su Qingwan tapped the bridge of her nose lightly with the round fan in her hand. Its coolness is far more difficult than Gu Konghua's independence."

"You would be lazy and keep the frosty chrysanthemum to yourself." Mu Luoluo smiled and put down the round fan, dipped the brush in the ink, but didn't know how to write.

"It's not easy to see the frost." Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly.

Mu Luoluo shook her head with a smile, and finally wrote before the ink was written.

"After a while, I see that according to the usual practice, I should go to Tangquan Palace for autumn hunting. Do you want to go with me this time?" Mu Luo asked without raising her head.

"Of course I want to go." Su Qingwan picked up the pot of tea, and took a sip, "It is said that there is a hot spring in the mountains outside the palace, so I will take you there to see it."

"In the deep mountains, how did you know?" Mu Luoluo stopped writing and raised her eyes, then lowered her head after a glance.

"The last time I hunted in autumn, my elder brother was lucky enough to accompany me, and he found the Tangquan here." Seeing that there was little ink left in the inkstone, Su Qingwan reached out and took an ink ingot to grind the ink, "It is said to be very good for nourishing qi and blood. "

"Then you really should go and have a look." Mu Luoluo replied.

"You said that I used shady means to fight for favor, so tell me, what kind of means did I use?"

"You! I can't tell you about those indiscriminate means! It's not like you, you have no shame!"

"Where is it? It's true that I have nightmares in the middle of the night, and it's true that my stomach pain is unbearable. This is human nature. How did you get it in your mouth? Is it possible? Sister Wu is a fairy who has never been sick. ?”

"You! You are really eloquent, and you can turn right and wrong like this. Who in the palace has never had nightmares, who has never had abdominal pain, why is it that you don't see His Majesty?"

"You two sisters, stop talking!"

"That's just a coincidence. If tomorrow, Sister Wu has a nightmare and abdominal pain, and His Majesty visits her, will Sister Wu use all means to fight for favor?"

"I'm sure I won't be like you, and everyone in the palace will know about it!"

The noise from far and near made Mu Luoluo frown. It was a well-painted ink bamboo, but she suddenly lost her mind.

"Xiaoxiao is kind-hearted, but there are more and more rules in this palace." Su Qingwan put down the ink ingot, got up and walked to the green bamboo, stopping Jin Qing who was about to scold her, "Don't worry, you have nothing to do, listen and listen Look, it’s also a relief from fatigue.”

The Youhuang Pavilion is surrounded by bamboo on all sides, so you can't see people from the outside, but you can see clearly from the inside. Su Qingwan saw Wu Meiren, Fang Meiren and Shu Baolin when she stood like this.

"I'm afraid it is, even if the whole palace knows about Sister Wu's rants, His Majesty will not take a look at Sister Wu, and you are not the one who is embarrassed." On it is the white jade hairpin newly rewarded by the emperor.

"Presumptuous! Little Baolin, how dare you speak wild words!" Wu Meiren naturally saw her thoughts, and raised her hand to hit her, but was stopped by Fang Meiren.

"Sister Wu, don't be impulsive!" Fang Meiren was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she had a stupid mouth, "Sister Shu, please don't say a few words, now that you are in the palace, it's not like wanton speech place."

"Hmph!" Wu Meiren let go of her hand indignantly, "Sister Fang, you are too soft-tempered, so you let things from these small families bully you for nothing."

"Although this beauty Wu is from Changzhou, she has a very strong temper." Su Qingwan stared at her intently, and whispered to Mu Luoluo who was beside her.

"Still talking about others, are you different from her?" Mu Luoluo laughed.

"Naturally, I am different from her. I come from the general family. My strong temper is due to the loyalty of my ancestors. Wu's father is the governor of Changzhou, a civil official family. It is rare to raise such a daughter." Su Qingwan replied.

"I've heard that Wu's aunt was originally from the Jianghu, and she lost her temper after meeting Mr. Wu." Mu Luoluo said.

"Oh?" Su Qingwan smiled and raised her eyebrows, "That's a strange woman."

"Who are you calling petty?" Shu Baolin hated people mentioning her life experience the most, and Wu Meiren's words could be regarded as a bad luck for her.

"Who am I talking about, who knows who knows!" Wu Meiren glared back and said, "It was born by a concubine. Presumably your aunt's incompetence and her birth mother's seductiveness must have brought you up with such an impolite appearance."

"You are born and raised, and I don't see how educated you are." Shu Baolin sneered, "Aren't you just shouting here, is it possible that this is what you said about the manners of a big family?"

"You!" Wu Meiren became angry for a moment, pointing at Shu Baolin, speechless.

"What's wrong with me? Your Majesty can come to my room, which means that His Majesty loves me. If Sister Fang wins the Sacred Heart, I will scream to the sky, and Your Majesty will definitely not go to my room." Shu Baolin saw Wu Meiren was at a loss for words, and she became elated for a while, "Once you enter the palace, what is the difference between the birth of the concubine and the concubine? Whether or not you can get into your majesty's eyes is the most important thing. Today's empress is also born and raised by a concubine, and everyone in the palace can see it." The emperor and empress love each other deeply, and the one from the Shangqing Palace has a distinguished background, so she has been withdrawn from the title and just has the title of concubine."

"How about the empress and this palace, it's not your turn to comment." Su Qingwan helped Jinqing's hand, and turned out from the bamboo forest, her face frosty.

The three of them were shocked when they heard the sound, and hastily half-kneeled to salute, "The concubine waits to see Concubine Shu."

Su Qingwan didn't ask them to get up, but just looked down at her from a high position, "The empress is the middle palace, and this palace is a first-rank imperial concubine personally appointed by His Majesty, how can you just talk about it casually!"

"The concubine was quick to talk and forgot the rules, so I ask Concubine Shu to forgive me." Shu Baolin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed upon hearing this.

"I remember, this is not the first time that Shu Baolin has been quick to talk. Why, wasn't the punishment severe enough last time?" Su Qingwan walked slowly in front of Shu Baolin, and waved her hands at the same time, signaling Wu Fang and the others to get up. .

"Concubine..." Shu Baolin's forehead was suddenly covered with cold sweat.

"Since Shu Baolin's memory is so bad, then I will help you to improve your memory." Su Qingwan lowered her head and turned the jade bracelet in her hand, "Come on, Shu Baolin's Sister Zan didn't discipline well, so she was resigned from the official position and demoted to a Common people, drive out of the palace immediately; if the maid in charge of the side palace of Zihua Palace can't be warned in time, twenty sticks will be rewarded, regardless of life or death."

"No! Concubine Shu, please spare me!" Shu Baolin's maid in charge is a dowry maid. Hearing this, she was naturally disturbed. Twenty sticks, regardless of life or death, would surely kill her. "My lord! My lord, save me! Save my slave !"

"Ms. Concubine Shu, forgive me, I'm just talking fast, I don't mean to offend!" Naturally, Shu Baolin didn't want to lose his confidant, so he hurriedly kowtowed, and he became popular after a while.

"Once, I may regard you as an unintentional act, but there is absolutely no reason to do it twice." Su Qingwan said slowly, "Could it be that Shu Baolin took what I said as a deaf ear, and has already forgotten the warning from last time?"

Shu Baolin fell on the ground, unable to speak again.

"Ms. Concubine Shu." Fang Meiren said suddenly, Su Qingwan squinted her eyes, "Twenty rods can't be beaten by ordinary guards, let alone a maid, please forgive me and spare her life."

Su Qingwan looked at Fang Meiren quietly and didn't speak for a while.

Su Qingwan remained silent, and the remaining three dared not speak out.Mu Luoluo watched from the side, not sure what Su Qingwan was thinking.

"Sister Fang is really kind-hearted." Su Qingwan laughed suddenly, "Forget it, since Sister Fang has spoken, then let her life be spared and send her out of the palace."

"Concubine Xie Shu's grace! Concubine Xie Shu's grace!" The servant girl kowtowed, overjoyed.

Shu Baolin was unwilling, but he didn't dare to show it. He lowered his head and clenched his fists secretly.

Mu Luoluo had a panoramic view of Shu Baolin Huiming's changing expression.

"The three of you, talking about the Central Palace indiscriminately, making a public noise, you will be fined for three months, and you will contemplate behind closed doors for seven days." Su Qingwan said again.

"The concubine is punished, concubine Xie Shu." The three saluted again.
