pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

"Master, Master Xiang is here." Huan Pei whispered in Bai Xiwan's ear.

Before Bai Xiwan could open her mouth, Jing Li had already entered the door.

There were a bunch of tea sets on the square table, and Bai Xiwan was fiddling with the tea leaves in her hand. When she saw Jing Li, she smiled, "Ah Cha, are you here?"

Jing Li was also polite, and sat down on the cushion next to Bai Xiwan, and looked around the room.

Behind Bai Xiwan is an embossed screen of Aoxue Xunmei, which separates the inner room from the outside. There are a few camellias in the room, which exude a faint fragrance. In addition to the tea set, there is a very delicate potted plant on the table in front of her. , although it is a very simple decoration, and there are no luxurious items, but it is elegant and natural, and it has a special taste.

"It seems that I came here by coincidence." Jing Li took the tea cup handed over by Bai Xiwan, first smelled its fragrance, then observed its shape, and then drank its water, "Sure enough, I can always drink good things with you."

Bai Xiwan smiled, "It's the first time you've come to my place, and you talk like you often drink good things."

Jing Li smiled heartily, but didn't answer.

Bai Xiwan winked at Huanpei, signaling her to call Qin Zheng to greet Jing Li, who happened to be seen by Jing Li.

"No need, I'll leave after a while, there's no need to call Zheng'er here."

Hearing what Jing Li said, Bai Xiwan didn't insist anymore, and said to Huan Pei, "Go and guard the door."

Then he complained to Jing Li, "Yes, besides these teas, I probably don't have anything to keep you here."

"Where is it... If you are bored in the fairy mansion, you can go out more often. After the banquet, many wives invited you to their manor to enjoy the flowers?"

"Hua doesn't look like that. Besides, who knows what they are up to, I might just be like Wei Young and stay in the mansion to entertain myself, isn't it good?"

Speaking of Wei Young, a smile automatically appeared on Jing Li's face. Since her wife was insulted by Ouyang Feishuang last time, she seemed to have a social shadow, and no one would accept invitations from anyone.

"Why did you come to see me?"

The words in Jingli's stomach turned abruptly when they reached his mouth, "After... a while, it will be His Majesty's birthday."

Zhaohua was also born in autumn, and it was precisely because of this that Jingli chose Concubine Huixian, who was born in the same autumn, to adopt her.

Bai Xiwan nodded, "Have you decided what to do?"

The tacit understanding between Bai Xiwan and Jing Li is always between one sentence, as soon as Jing Li speaks, she knows what she wants to do.

"Well, Empress Hui and Ouyang's family got mixed up, but I don't know what their purpose is. The palace has not been well informed recently. I have ordered someone to investigate. I believe the results will come out soon. As for Your Majesty's Birthdays, of course, should be used well." Jing Li shook the teacup gently, with a sly look streaming down from his eyes, "Right now, the Ouyang family and the Chu family are just flirting with each other, not confronting each other. They also know in their hearts that as long as I'm here, They can't fight with peace of mind, so..."

"So, you're going to start showing weakness, right? I wonder what kind of show General Zhou Shan and Lord Xiangye are going to put on together?" water.

Jing Li chuckled, and said mysteriously, "You will know when the time comes."

There was a tacit smile on their faces.

They were chatting inside the house, while Wei Young outside the house came uninvited.

Seeing that it was Wei Young, Huan Pei saluted first, and then tactfully said that Jing Li and Bai Xiwan were inside.

Wei Young was a little puzzled, "I know Xianggong and Sister Bai are inside, I just came to look for Xianggong. Let me go in."

Huanpei stepped forward to block Wei Young, but she also knew that this madam was very hot-tempered, so she probably couldn't stop her, with a smile on her face, Huanpei shouted loudly into the room: "Madam is here."

Wei Young pushed open the room and saw Jing Li and Bai Xi Wan sitting face to face and drinking tea, she didn't think anything was wrong, she also smiled and sat down next to Jing Li, picked up Jing Li's cup and poured it into her mouth.

"Drink slowly, why are you panting like this?" Jing Li gently helped Wei Young to catch her breath.

Tao Yao, who was behind Wei Young, said with a smile, "Ma'am heard that Master Xiang is at Madam Bai's place, so she rushed over in a hurry."

Wei Young put down her teacup and nodded in agreement, "Yes yes yes, I came to look for your husband on business, uh, I also came to see my sister Bai on business, I heard that my husband is here, so I happened to come to look for you together."

Bai Xiwan asked first: "I don't know why my sister-in-law is looking for me?"

"It's like this." Wei Young said: "I just received a decree from the palace, the Empress Dowager invited us into the palace to visit the Imperial Garden."

After Wei Young finished speaking, she held Jing Li's arm and asked again, "Do you want to go together, Mr. Xiang?"

Jing Li shook his head, "Since the Empress Dowager invited you, I won't go. I still have things to deal with."

Jing Li didn't hate Empress Hui too much. When she was still Song Yaosheng, the First Empress doted on her very much, but later she realized that that kind of doting was just pretending. She knew that Song Pin would not be on the prince's side. After getting murderous, the empress also helped Emperor Deqing, but Empress Hui, who has been very quiet, did not take much part in the political struggles of King Chen, which is why Jingli chose her to be the empress dowager in the end.

The status of Zhaohua's birth mother is low, and it is really difficult to convince the public with her status. Queen Hui is the mother of Zhaohua and Chen Wang. Compared with the unknown Concubine Jingwen, she does have more supporters in the court. Maybe no one sits in town, so Huihou has been left until now.

Hearing that Jing couldn't leave, Wei Young was a little disappointed, but when she thought that Bai Xiwan was with her, the disappointment quickly dissipated.

She took Bai Xiwan's hand affectionately and said, "Since my husband won't go, it's not bad for my sister to come with me."

Bai Xiwan: "In private, sister-in-law should call me Xiaowan."

"Exactly, I also feel very awkward, don't call me sister-in-law, call me Weiyang." Weiyang couldn't ask for such a title, Bai Xiwan was a few years older than himself, and he wanted to call her sister, which was really weird tight.

Bai Xiwan smiled at Wei Young, and nodded in agreement.

The two quickly packed up their things, put on their palace clothes, and prepared to enter the palace.

After all, Jing Li felt a little uneasy and asked Fei Hua to follow.

Feihua was embarrassed by Yimiao's disturbance, and immediately felt that she had escaped from the clutches of the devil.

……

"In this imperial garden, the Ai family's favorite is the hibiscus. This hibiscus tree is very adaptable, and it grows immediately after cuttings. It is full of frost and dew, but it is beautiful and beautiful. It takes up the charm of autumn. The one over there is still beautiful. When the late emperor was around, they were transported from Yunnan and planted." Hui Hou took off a hibiscus flower and put it in her hand, and there was a trace of nostalgia in her eyes.

Bai Xi replied with a smile: "The hibiscus flower clears away heat and cools blood, reduces swelling and expels pus. Not only is the name very elegant, but this flower can be used as medicine, and it is worthy of the reputation of being the only one among the flowers."

"Presumably the empress dowager must have been very favored by the first emperor." Wei Young added.

Hearing Wei Yang mentioning the first emperor, Hui Hou felt indescribably subtle, she smiled, "The first emperor is very kind to me... mourning my family."

"After shopping for a long time, Aijia is a bit tired. There is a gazebo in front of it. Why don't we go and have a rest."

Wei Young and Bai Xiwan followed naturally.

As soon as Huihou and his party sat down, a maid served tea, "This tea was just delivered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's already warmed up, it's perfect for moistening mulberry, I heard that Wei Young likes to eat cakes, The Ai family took some of each, wondering if it suits Mrs. Bai's taste."

Wei Young showed a big smile, "Thank you, Ma'am."

Bai Xiwan also thanked her gratefully, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Wei Young followed Hui Hou's advice, picked up the teacup first, and was about to drink it down, but just as the cup reached his mouth, Bai Xiwan drenched himself in tea.

Everyone was stunned by such a turn of events. Bai Xiwan turned pale with fright, and hurried out of her seat, kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, "It's all due to the foolishness of the folk girl, who accidentally spilled tea on her sister-in-law, which disturbed everyone." Empress, people should die, people should die."

Wei Young also reacted, and quickly pleaded for Bai Xiwan, "Your Majesty, don't blame Younger Sister Bai, she must have been very nervous when she came into contact with you so closely for the first time, and she lost her composure. also……"

"Okay." Queen Hui frowned, but her tone eased, "It's just a trivial matter, take Mrs. Jing down to change clothes."
