Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

, Pu Chen can no longer turn back, and he doesn't want to turn back at all!He wants power, he wants the highest power!In his mind, there is no word "retreat". Even if he loves Luo Yun badly, he will never give up his dream of becoming the ruler of the Central Plains! ...

During this half an hour, Pu Chen was very miserable, he had no intention of discussing matters, and finally dispersed the crowd impatiently, went straight to Mingjue Palace, and went to pick him up in person.

In fact, he didn't know Luo Yun yet.

Even if Luo Yun has love for him, even if Luo Yun has the same feelings for him as he does for Luo Yun, as the princess of Shui Dynasty, this self-esteem and heavy responsibility on her shoulders will definitely not make her willing to be Pu Chen's slave, no matter what. It will let her watch Shui Chao's land being trampled by the enemy bandits!Even if... Pu Chen really loves her... she firmly believes that the two imperial brothers will definitely notice.That day when the envoy presented the local products, she realized in a daze that it was not an ordinary gift, but that the emperor's brother had already started to act. Perhaps, the last thing she could do was to help the emperor's brother smash Pu Chen's ambitions and hold the water dynasty firmly. Jiangshan...

In the blink of an eye, it was another half a month, regardless of the cold weather, the construction of the pro-sister's yard in other people's mansions had already started, non-stop day and night, and even the worst ones were ready to produce blueprints.But there was still no movement from Jia's side, they only measured the yard symbolically, and got some boys to pretend to dig with a shovel.

Jia Zhengshi was unwilling to spend a dozen or even tens of thousands of taels of silver to build a yard. He had accumulated a lot of money over the years, but he couldn't spend it on these things that were obviously thrown away.Mother Jia also has money, which is reserved for important purposes and cannot be easily moved.It's a shame that Jia Amnesty locked up Zhou Rui's family, and still insisted on separating the family, and gave an ultimatum. If the family is not separated within half a month, Mrs. Wang will be taken to see the official immediately.And Wang Ziteng came to the news again, saying that Sister Feng had him to persuade him, but if Jia Zheng dared to disregard Mrs. Wang, he would make a clean break in the future, and he would not even think about moving the soldiers in Jizhou!

Jia Zheng couldn't help but fell into a dilemma. He was at a loss as to what to do...

In Fengzao Palace, Yuan Chun was sitting in front of the window playing the qin, the emperor hadn't come over for a few days, playing the qin by himself was boring, so he put away after plucking the strings a few times.Pink and purple long-tailed autumn palace dress, embroidered with flying phoenixes, three or four gold bracelets on the wrists, a Liuyun palace bun on the head, and a pair of golden step-shackles symmetrically, with only a homely phoenix hairpin in the middle , and other beaded flower decorations.

"Your Majesty!" Yimei brought out the bird's nest porridge.Baoqin died of illness, and Yimei took her place forever, becoming Yuanchun's personal maid.

"No need." Yuan Chun flatly refused, a little restless.For two months, Mrs. Wang didn't come to visit, nor did she take money to manage things. The management of the harem is very strict, even if money is used, no one can be entrusted with a message, and it is inevitable to provoke someone to ask questions in a formal way. People pay attention, when the time comes, it will be even worse.

"Your Majesty, maybe you have something to do, and you won't be able to get away for a while. Seeing that the house is about to build a courtyard for visiting relatives, there are things inside and outside. Those who are capable are hardworking, and they are also the mother's relatives." Mother, I'm afraid you're busy with your work. I think you can relax, worrying and hurting your spirits, it's unnecessary." Yimei put the bird's nest porridge on the table, and seeing that Yuanchun didn't play anymore, she called two maids to cover the piano .

"Those rumors are spreading all over the place, and it's very ugly. The emperor will be dissatisfied to some extent, and he's been with Feng Meiren these few days." Yuan Chun frowned.

"My maidservant has a way to let the empress meet the people in the mansion." Yimei stepped forward and whispered.

"Oh? Tell me!" Yuan Chun urged after hearing the words.

"Your Majesty forgot, there are many rules in the palace, but there are also some human feelings. In addition to the visits on the [-]th of each month, there is also a 'Jie You Tan' who is ill." Yimei said: "Jie You Tan is not aimed at the elders, but It is to understand that there are so many natal sisters in the palace, it is inevitable to miss it, and it is not easy to see the last time, but you can stay for seven days. However, I have to wrong the empress and pretend to be sick for a few days."

"My sisters, oh..." Yuan Chun was somewhat disappointed after hearing this.Tanchun is a concubine, so he is not qualified to visit the palace.Counting on the family, there is no need to mention Yingchun, even if it is not a concubine, it will come in vain, and Xichun is even more forgettable... After thinking about it, I suddenly had some ideas, grabbed Yimei and asked: "I don't know if my cousin can do it?" Do you want to be a worry-relieving detective?"

"This..." Yimei thought for a while: "In terms of talking about it, aunt and cousin are also included in the uniform...but they have to have some status."

"It's easy to handle! My aunt's cousin is the daughter of the first wife of the Xue family after Ziwei, the emperor's businessman. In terms of status, she is also praised by talented people!" Yuan Chun was overjoyed.Xue Baochai is close to her mother, and she is also the younger brother and sister that her mother will appoint in the future, so she can naturally have one heart with herself!

"Since that's the case, you don't need to worry anymore. When the aunt comes, you can ask any questions in detail! Don't be disturbed by groundless rumors!" Yimei said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is still no news. Tell your ma'am!"

"What news?" Yuan Chun felt better and asked with interest.

"My servant just heard that the emperor has ordered the Construction Department of the House of Internal Affairs to renovate the Kunning Palace!" Yimei laughed and said, "I'm afraid it may be that the emperor intends to become a queen!"

"Really!" Yuan Chun grabbed her hand suddenly, a little nervous: "Is there any news?"

"That's not true." Yimei comforted: "My lady, don't worry. In this harem, now only my lady is favored the most. Rao is the noble concubine and concubine Shu, and all of them are not as favored as my wife alone."

"But..." Yuan Chun was a little uneasy: "Oh, it's all because the mansion is so shameless, and such rumors have spread out at this time, if the emperor believes it to be true..."

"Your Majesty, don't be too horny. The Emperor didn't say anything. Maybe it's just a coincidence that he hasn't come these few days, but your Majesty is just scaring herself!" Yimei suggested: "It's a good day, why don't I accompany your Majesty to go?" Take a walk in the Imperial Garden, take a look at Jinger and relax."

"This... is also good!" Yuan Chun felt relieved after hearing Yimei's words, and slowly stood up.Yimei hastily called a few court ladies to take a hand stove, blankets, brocade pads, towels, etc., and a lot of other things to follow, and she took Yuanchun's thick brocade cloak to put on for her, and the group went to the imperial garden.

It should be said that in this royal garden, four seasons of flowers are planted together. In each season, there are flowers in full bloom. The craftsmen carefully cultivated, so that the flowering period of each variety is very long. When the flowers of the season are in full bloom, the flowers of the previous season gradually fall asleep. .No, looking at the sea of ​​red, white, yellow, blue and purple, patches of flowers, hibiscus, oleander, purple chrysanthemum and red rose... There is no look of desolation and depression.

Walking on the corridor of the Royal Garden, the towering Kunning Palace in the distance can be seen directly in the eye, and there is an ant-sized figure on the top of the hall, which should be a craftsman replacing the glazed tiles.The viewing pavilion rises from the right rear of the main hall, standing proudly across the palaces. Standing there, you can have a panoramic view of the entire palace and the back garden and the huge "Qinxin Lake" in the garden...

Yuan Chun walked in the imperial garden, browsing the flower branches, but her eyes were always involuntarily fixed on the direction of the Kunning Palace. After so many years in the palace, it was the first time she felt that she was away from the Kunning Palace... No, it should be said that she was away from the Queen. The position is so close...

Ever since she entered the palace, she had been working as a servant tremblingly, and suddenly she was conferred the title of concubine, and she was still a concubine with double seals, she couldn't believe it.Being bathed in fragrant soup and dressed in Qianhong palace attire served by the court maids, she did not dare to be happy until she saw several well-dressed people in Jia's mansion knelt down in front of her and called her "Niang Niang", and then she came to her senses.She was concubine!One of the four concubines!The first concubine in the harem!For a moment, there was nothing to add to the excitement, and the mouth trembled unceasingly.

But before he could be happy for a long time, Concubine Hua Gui and Concubine Zhao Shu suddenly stood on his head.Although they are all first rank, but the ancestral system is clear, there is an order for "guishu, virtuous and virtuous", although I occupy two characters, but they are all in the lower position. The queen... At first, she was still heartbroken for having such a thought, but slowly, as the emperor visited and favored her frequently, this feeling became more and more intense, and it was almost ready to come out!

"Your Majesty, go sit in the pavilion over there." Seeing Yuan Chun staring greedily at Kunning Palace, Yimei sneered from the bottom of her heart, a person is valuable to have self-knowledge, and this is what the Jia family lacks the most.

"Alright..." Yuan Chun came back to his senses and realized his gaffe, lifted his handkerchief to cover up a cough, turned around and walked towards a small pavilion a hundred steps away.

Clusters of flowers surround the Liancui Pavilion.Yuan Chun walked slowly, but heard a girl's voice in front of him, he was surprised, but someone had already arrived?As he approached, the voice of talking and laughing was very enthusiastic, unlike the dignified and quiet of ordinary concubines, she must be someone who doesn't understand the rules.

Seeing Yuan Chun's displeasure, Yimei was about to order someone to stop her, but Yuan Chun stretched out her hand to stop her.Afterwards, Yuan Chun straightened his bun, closed his cloak, and walked around the flowers.If you don't give these women a little color, they really don't know who is the master of the harem!

In the pavilion, a few girls were laughing and laughing, a table of snacks and hot tea was set up, behind each of the palace maids stood with their hands folded and their heads bowed, and a few others were changing charcoal for the hand stove outside the pavilion.The most exasperating thing was that there was a large charcoal stove set up on the left side of the pavilion, and several maids were spreading meat on the curtain above, the barbecue was sizzling, and the smell of meat was permeating everywhere.

Yuan Chun couldn't help being furious!It's so unruly, it doesn't look like a royal garden!I don't know which palace it is from, but I will make her look good today!Flicking the edge of the cloak, he strode over, and Yimei followed closely behind.

"Stop!" Yuan Chunyun was about to attack when he was full of momentum, but was frightened by a stern shout.A girl flew in front of him.She doesn't wear palace clothes, and she doesn't look like a maid in the palace.It was none other than Xueyan.

"Presumptuous!" Yuan Chun
