Leaning on the railing Jiangyue

There were no owners of the six palaces in this dynasty. After the empress passed away, only two noble concubines were made in charge. One was the crown prince's mother, and the other was Zhao Yu Zhao Jun's mother, Chen noble concubine.

Concubine Chen's real surname is Liao, and she is not the daughter of an official or minister. I said earlier that Zhao Duan didn't love court affairs, and that traveling in the mountains and rivers to write calligraphy and painting is serious. That year before he ascended the throne, he went to Xishan Temple to paint autumn scenery, and happened to see a red maple tree under the Qing Dynasty Miss Liao, who was following Lin Gu's clothes and fluttering butterflies by the stream, was fascinated by the sight. When she stopped writing, the drawing paper was already a girl with hanging clouds, double temples, jasper and pearl flowers. Zhao Duan's box clock When he was young, he was good-looking, good at poetry and poetry, and pursued a little bit, which made Ms. Liao fall in love. But when it was time to talk about marriage, Ms. Liao found that Zhao Duan was a prince, and there was no one in his family. Young wives and concubines, although three wives and four concubines are the most normal, but she still suffered a lot of blows, and she was also blamed for her naivety and wishful thinking. Her family only did some small business. There will be no single-mindedness. Fortunately, Zhao Duan is very kind to her, and she will marry when she marries.

"After the emperor ascended the throne, there were more and more concubines." Zhao Yu and Xu Fengjin changed their wedding clothes together and said, "Although he treats mother and concubine differently, he still can't return to the beauty of Chushi."

"That's why the prince doesn't want to make the same mistakes again? He just wants to marry a wife to be with him for the rest of his life?" Xu Fengjin helped him remove his hair crown, and picked up a sandalwood comb to help him tie his hair.

"That's right." Zhao Yu said, "However, when something happened to me when I was a child, my concubine was frightened, and she knew that there were traps everywhere in the palace, and one wrong step could kill her life. Although she is a noble concubine, she doesn't care much about the harem. Things, I practice and worship the Buddha all day long, and my relationship with my father is also growing."

Xu Fengjin stuck a white jade hairpin into her hair, leaned on his shoulder, looked at the two people reflected in the bronze mirror, and asked, "What if I marry the prince in the future?"

Zhao Yu said: "There is no such possibility."

Xu Fengjin said, "What if?"

Zhao Yu said: "If there is such an event, I will trap you in the room, throw you on the bed and strip you clean."

Xu Fengjin's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "And then? Then what will happen to me?"

Zhao Yu thought about it deeply, as if he had thought of countless tricks, and nodded his head from time to time, Xu Fengjin leaned on him and said, "Say it, talk it!"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Then, I won't even touch you."

Xu Fengjin blinked, and when he realized he was about to slap his ear, Zhao Yu hurriedly got up to dodge and laughed out loud.

After noon, Zhao and Xu took carriages and horses all the way through Xuanwu Street to the north gate of the Imperial Palace. At this time, it was just like the autumnal equinox, fragrant golden osmanthus, gilt jade tiles, animal face rings, red walls and blue sky. Xu Fengjin followed Zhao Yu in amazement. Majestic and solemn.Today he wore a tea-white shirt with a double-breasted long hexagram. The neckline was not as delicate as usual with buckles, but a gold-rimmed white jade plum blossom branch hanging with gold tassels, and his face was full of surprise, as if he had never seen it before The rich and noble young masters in the world are very contradictory.

There are hundreds of houses in the palace, and the scenery is different everywhere. There are pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and shadows of trees. Zhao Yu took Xu Fengjin to watch while walking, but he was not in a hurry to go to Concubine Chen's palace.

"My concubine has a gentle temper, so you don't have to be nervous, you can answer whatever she asks." Although Xu Fengjin didn't show his face, the palm holding Zhao Yu was slightly sweating, Zhao Yu couldn't help but asked with a smile: " Isn't the princess fearless? Why are you getting nervous now?"

Xu Fengjin said: "No matter how fearful you are, there will always be times. What if your mother and concubine look down on me and insist on separating us?"

Zhao Yu didn't tell him that Concubine Chen would never do anything, but comforted him and said: "It's okay, I have already left the palace now, if she likes you, she can come here often in the future, if she doesn't like you, then she won't be here in the future." Let you see her again."

Only then did Xu Fengjin take a reassurance, straightened her chest and said, "Let's go, go see our mother."

The two of them passed through the garden pavilion and were about to go to the harem when they saw a court lady stumbling towards her with wounds on her cheek and blood at the corner of her mouth. , I have seen the Seventh Prince."

Zhao Yu nodded and didn't leave, but looked at her clothes and asked, "Are you working in the East Palace?"

The maid stood up tremblingly, nodded and said: "Yes."

Zhao Yu looked at it for a while without changing his expression, and asked, "How did you hurt your face?"

The palace maid hurriedly wiped her tears and replied: "It's the servant who is clumsy and has offended the...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Yu understood, and said: "Go back."

The palace maid hurriedly got up and ran away, Zhao Yu still stood where she was after the people left, Xu Fengjin asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Yu pulled him and continued walking: "The rules in the palace are strict. The prince lives in the east, and the concubine lives in the west. It took nearly an hour just to walk. You can see that the blood on her face has not been wiped just now, and it looks like a fresh wound. If the prince beat her , it should be nearby, but the prince has been grounded, so he probably won't go out."

Xu Fengjin said, "Then she was lying to you just now?"

Zhao Yu nodded: "I just don't know who she is looking for in the harem."

Xu Fengjin said: "Since he belongs to the crown prince, he should be looking for the crown prince's mother and concubine."

Zhao Yu said: "No, the prince's mother and concubine have gone a few years ago."

"Ah?" Xu Fengjin wondered, "That's weird, she said that to Yu Yun, is she trying to frame the prince as cruel?"

Zhao Yu looked at him thinking seriously, and couldn't help telling him with a smile: "The prince has indeed been a bit cruel these years, there is no need to frame anything, let's go first, we will talk about this matter later."

Xu Fengjin turned to look at the back of the maid again, and asked, "Is everything in the palace so confusing? Why can't even a maid be figured out?"

Zhao Yu nodded and said yes, and then said seriously: "So, it's better for my wife to come less frequently, and just be a domineering figure in Prince Yu's mansion."

Xu Fengjin said in disbelief, "I didn't act like a domineering person. It's rare to see me so knowledgeable and reasonable."

Zhao Yu burst into laughter, and echoed him: "It's really rare, you are the only one in the world with such a beautiful quality and Lan Xin."

While they were talking, they had already stepped into the courtyard of Imperial Concubine Chen, Aunt Lin came back earlier than the two of them, stood at the door and hurriedly greeted her: "I have seen the prince, I have seen Mr. Xu, come in quickly, the empress has been waiting for a long time. "

Xu Fengjin was just relaxed, but now he was a little nervous again. He rarely raised his eyes to ask Zhao Yu for help, but he lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I will be by your side in everything."

Xu Fengjin sniggered, following Gu Lin into the room, the first thing she saw was Concubine Chen who was sitting on the brocade couch drinking tea. He stepped forward and hurriedly put down the tea bowl, and said with a smile, "Yu'er is here."

Zhao Yu called Concubine Shengmu and was about to introduce her when he felt his hand tighten and turned his head to see what was going on, but Xu Fengjin had knelt on the ground with a "plop", grinned and said, "Jin'er has seen mother! Mother is a thousand years old!"
