right after

Concubine Rong, whose boudoir name is Sima Jiao, is the sister of Sima Huan, the current power minister, and the niece of the Empress Dowager. She took the position of third concubine as soon as she entered the palace.

Sima Huan made great contributions to destroying Fengqing State, and his status in the court has greatly increased. Naturally, his younger sister has become more arrogant and arrogant, and even the queen has no choice but to give her three points.

Sima Jiao had six people under his command.

Four court ladies and two eunuchs.

The four court ladies are called respectively: Chunlan, Qinghe (Hua Xihuan), Xueju, Hongmei (Mo Xiangli).

The two eunuchs call separately: Morning Life and Twilight Life.

When the rooster crows, it is the time when Hua Xihuan, Chunlan, Chensheng, and Mushou get up.

She is Qinghe next to Concubine Rong, and it has been about a year since she was given this name when she worked under Concubine Rong, but she prefers her real name, Hua Xihuan.

Because of her extraordinary cooking skills, the master is responsible for the meals of Concubine Rong. She gets up early every day and cooks late at night, while You Lan is in charge of helping others, including burning firewood, washing vegetables, dishes, and boiling water.

The two eunuchs, Chensheng and Mushou, were in charge of heavy work such as fetching water and chopping firewood, and the two took turns exchanging work.

When the cock crowed twice, it was the time when Mo Xiangli and Xueju got up.

She is Hongmei who is beside Concubine Rong, Hongmei is not her name, and Mo Xiangli is not her name. As for her real name, which has not been called for a long time, it has been forgotten in memory.Because of his quick hands and feet, the master is responsible for serving tea and water and other services.

Xue Juyin is the personal maid of Concubine Rong Gui's natal family, and the chief female official in Ronghua Pavilion. She is mainly responsible for taking care of the empress's clothing and makeup, sending messages and other light tasks on weekdays.

The rooster crowed and crowed three times, and when the sun was shining, Concubine Rong got up lazily, and the servants had already prepared everything for her.

"Where's the red plum?" Concubine Rong asked suddenly after having breakfast, pinching the tea lid lightly, and lowering her head to sip the clear tea.

Several servant girls who were waiting on the side were stunned, some pretended to be stunned, some were really stunned.

Mo Xiangli lowered his head, endured the discomfort in his body, took a step forward, peeked at Concubine Rong who was drinking tea with her eyes narrowed, and said cautiously: "Your maidservant, I went to the plum garden to pick plums last night and was discovered. The plum blossoms are lost..."

"Nonsense." Concubine Rong yelled angrily with a stern face, and quickly smashed the tea bowl in her palm down on the table. The loud sound accompanied by splashing hot soup made the ladies in the palace shiver in fright.

Concubine Rong's delicate and flowery hibiscus face was unfortunately destroyed by her overbearing arrogance.

She sneered at the corner of her mouth, and then said in annoyance: "I'm afraid you are lazy and didn't go. The plum garden is guarded by military guards. If you are found out, how did the little court lady escape? You are completely nonsense."

"Your Majesty, Hongmei really..." Before Hua Xihuan could finish pleading, Mo Xiangli silently put his fingers behind his back, signaling her to shut up.

"My maidservant, please forgive me." After Mo Xiangli said this sentence, his knees thumped, and he knelt on the cold ground, lowered his head and pursed his red lips in confession.

Hua Xihuan looked at Mo Xiangli who suffered for no reason, and secretly resented that Concubine Rong Gui was simply setting up a trick to punish Li'er on purpose.

Concubine Rong did this because she was visiting the garden yesterday afternoon and happened to overhear the servants discussing in private that she was not as beautiful as Mo Xiangli, so she held a grudge against her.

At that time Li'er knelt down and thought that she was ugly, not as beautiful as the beautiful Concubine Rong Gui.

The empress didn't say much in front of everyone at that time, but after returning to the palace, before going to bed last night, she deliberately ordered Li'er to pick plums in the Forbidden Garden, and she was waiting to be questioned this morning.

"Hmph, I'm not a narrow-minded person, as long as you kneel outside the room today and reflect until you sleep peacefully. If someone secretly delivers food to you, you will be punished together."

After Concubine Rong left a message, Xue Ju gloated and left holding her hand.

Hua Xihuan looked back, and Li'er, who was kneeling silently, sighed secretly again, the current emperor's grace is great, those who have not been selected as concubines, after three months, they can leave the palace on their own if they wish get married.

They only need to be patient for a while under Concubine Rong before they can leave this cage.

At noon, the golden crow was scorching, and the snow accumulated last night gradually melted, and the coldness was about to increase, and with the cold wind blowing, it became even colder.

That touch, the lonely and stubborn thin back, kneeling in the snow with a straight back, the light blue court lady's skirt was soaked by the melting snow and turned dark blue, the knees in her skirt were frozen and unconscious, and her stomach was full of water after getting up in the morning. Also did not drink, now the lower abdomen is hollow, dry mouth.

While everyone was busy, Hua Xihuan sneaked up to Mo Xiangli under the pretext of going to the toilet, quickly took out a bun from her bosom, broke it furtively, and stuffed it into her mouth. Looking around nervously with big eyes, he urged Xiangli who was stunned: "Eat quickly."

"My mouth is dry and I can't swallow, I want to drink water." Mo Xiangli raised his head and whispered aggrievedly.

It was a beautiful and beautiful face that made even Bai Xue feel overwhelmed.

A white and tender melon-seeded face without makeup, a pair of stubborn and beautiful eyes like plum blossoms, under the indirect fluttering of black feathers, people can't help but feel affection and affection. The nose of an unusual woman is sunken. The delicate beauty of a silky woman, that thin red lips, with seductive sexiness, makes men unable to resist kissing Fangze.

Her figure is unusual for a woman, tall and slender but exquisite, even the most bloated winter clothes can't hide her slender figure.

"I didn't bring any water." Hua Xihuan looked around in a blink of an eye, looking at Bai Xue's eyes suddenly brightened, she walked to the edge of the flowers and grass and pulled out the wooden hairpin in the bun, scraped some snow with the tail, and sandwiched it She also stuffed it into her mouth with warm steamed buns.

Mo Xiangli swallowed the moist snow bun, his cold body finally managed to get some strength.

"Ah Huan, I met the emperor last night, and he promised to take me out of this Ronghua Pavilion today. He promises me a lifetime of love. With him, I might be able to find my relatives."

Xiangli thought of the honeyed words by his pillow last night, his fair face was slightly red, thinking that as long as he became a concubine and found his relatives by virtue of his power, the will to support her in his heart became a little more tenacious.

Hua Xihuan couldn't help but raised her hand and touched Mo Xiangli's forehead, the temperature was normal, and she didn't have a fever either!What, talking nonsense during the day.

She stuffed the steamed bun into Mo Xiangli's mouth, and couldn't help laughing, "You must be the last night's nightmare."

Mo Xiangli swallowed the steamed buns, and snorted arrogantly: "The people who left the dream until now are afraid that you will chase after a mere master and become a maid in this palace. Have you seen him?"

Hua Xihuan's plain face immediately withered, sighed and said sadly: "He is a dignified prime minister, I have a shallow relationship with him, he is a heavenly man, I am an ant, how can I be worthy of him."

"Ah Huan, if I become a concubine, I will do my best to help you marry him." Mo Xiangli promised with his eyes firmly, Hua Xihuan took a feeding action, and the smile on his face suddenly bloomed like a spring flower brilliant.

"Haha, Li'er, don't brag." Xi laughed and narrowed her eyes.

Mo Xiangli's eyes kept flashing, that man's handsome face, under the candle, smiling ambiguously close to his ear, promising a scene of love in the next life.

However, as the golden crow fell and the bright moon rose, her cheeks were numb from the cold wind, and her feet were already numb from the cold stimulation.

She fell down on the icy snow and burst into tears, staring at the heavy snow, her eyes flickering between bright and dark, comforting herself faintly: "The emperor must be busy with government affairs, maybe he will send someone to welcome her tomorrow. "

Since the day when the heavy snow melted, Mo Xiangli had a high fever for seven days, and was only a thin line away from Lord Yan many times. Fortunately, he was born with low bones. Under Hua Xihuan's careful care, he survived and was haggard. A thin gust of wind can blow away, and the situation is getting more and more difficult for Concubine Yerong.

On this day, when Mo Xiangli was just able to go to the ground, Hua Xihuan was looking for her to eat, and saw her take off the jade pendant around her neck from a distance, and stuffed it into the hands of an eunuch reluctantly.

Hua Xihuan watched the eunuch nod his head and walk away, then approached with a frown and asked, "Li'er, what are you doing?"

"This man is the eunuch in front of him, I want to ask him to bring a message." Mo Xiangli turned around and said, his eyes were full of Xiqie.

Hua Xihuan couldn't help frowning secretly, Li'er kept mentioning him recently, which made her doubtful, if this was true, it had been several days, and she hadn't heard anything from the emperor.

"Li'er, why did you give away your mother's relics? My mother said that an ordinary man has three wives and four concubines. Losing one love and one love is not enough for a beautiful lady. Besides, the emperor's harem has three thousand beauties, he is afraid... "

Following Hua Xihuan's words, Mo Xiangli's face became paler and ugly, and he covered his ears and said, "I shouldn't have come back that night, so he won't forget me, no, Xihuan, he's different, he's different ..."

She deceived herself bitterly that he would not abandon her for five years like her brother did.

Hua Xihuan looked at the back of Mo Xiangli running away covering her ears, and shook her head silently. This concubine Rong has a beautiful face like a peony, but she has only been favored a few times in the three years since she entered the palace, not to mention that Li'er occasionally inherited the love of dew. Well, the emperor will really remember her?
