Chapter 10 Apricot

It rained in the early morning. At first, it was drizzling like cow hair, but later it became heavier and heavier, gradually turning into a rainy wave, rushing like a pillar, and countless water flows quickly along the tiles on the eaves, hitting the iron martin on the eaves. Devouring novel www. The fresh air of plants and trees in the world was swept away by the water vapor, and a clear and cold fragrance was scented.

The rain was even heavier in the afternoon. I looked at the sky and said in a loud voice: "Liu Zhu, I took the umbrella and went out with me."

Liu Zhu said with a look of surprise: "Miss, it's impossible to go anywhere with such heavy rain."

Jingqing came up and advised, "Where are you going to? It's getting worse and worse after such heavy rain on your body."

Jinxi also advised: "It's better to wait until the rain is getting lighter and go out again."

I just said "Go and go" and ignored their advice. Liu Zhu said helplessly: "Our lady has always been like this, and she is the only one." She had to take a big umbrella and carefully support me out.

When I walked to the swing, there was no one around. There was only the sound of rain in the sparse shadows of the apricot blossoms. I looked down at the embroidered shoes and skirt wet by the rain, and sighed slightly. It turned out that he had not come. It was funny to think about it. The dignified prince did not stay in the palace to enjoy the rain and recite poems during heavy rain. He ran to the palace to write something? Maybe he was just a joke yesterday, and only I took it seriously; or maybe he sincerely invited me to appreciate the music score, but because the weather was inconvenient to enter the palace. After a while of random thought, he was still the future. There was a chill in the wind and rain, and Liu Zhu asked next to me, "Miss, why don't we go back first."

I looked at the fine water curtain woven in front of me like thousands of threads and was silent. Liu Zhu didn't dare to speak anymore. I turned my head slightly and saw her shoulders wet by the rain, and her body was still shaking slightly. She felt pity in her heart and said, "It's hard for you, let's go back first."

Liu Zhu hurriedly responded to "Yes" and helped me back all the way. When Jinxi saw us coming back, she quickly cooked a thick dose of ginger soup for us to drink. I asked Liu Zhu to go down immediately and change her clothes.

Bored on rainy nights, I sat in the warm gaze to play the piano. I was playing the song "Yu Linlin". I was stunned when I listened to the sound of rain splashing outside the window, and my gestures slowed down. Huanbi brought in fresh fruits and said on the side: "Is the lady playing "The Mountain High"?"

I came to my senses and said, "Why is it so bad that I can't get my ears when I enter the uterus? This is "Yu Linlin".

Huanbi said in surprise: "Miss, listen to it yourself, but "Yu Linlin"?"

I was shocked, why did I play the song "High Mountains" without any hesitation? Why didn't I know? I called Liu Zhu in and asked, "What's the song I played just now?"

Liu Zhu said: "Miss, are you talking about the song "High Mountain" just now? It used to be no better than other songs. Today I heard it, I felt so sad."

I felt a chill in my heart and I said for a long time: "Go and light a sandalwood."

Liu Zhu answered "Yes", and Huanbi said in a very low voice: "This is not the season for light sandalwood in spring. Are you upset about the lady?"

I glanced at her and said, "I'm tired, go to bed."

I was lying on the bed and tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Sandalwood was originally the fragrance of quiet thoughts. I know, how can I not be upset? The mountains are so high that the moon rises small. The moon is so small, so bright! I have thoughts in the distance. If I don’t see it for a day, my heart is quiet. The sound of the piano has always been revealed to people’s hearts, but I can’t let go of it if I don’t see it for a day? What a terrible and dangerous thing for me!

He is the King of Qinghe, I am the Concubine of Guan, and we can never have any intersection, even if I am just a noble person who lives in seclusion without favor. I understand that since I was recorded in the Yunyi Palace, I am destined to be the emperor woman who I have never seen clearly in my face in my life. I was so concerned about the men next to me, especially the emperor's younger brother, which is absolutely harmful to me. I turned over and sat up from the bed, quietly watching the small jumping flames on the red candle burning on the flowery candlestick beside the bed. I thought to myself, from this moment on, when I can still keep a distance from him, I will never see him again.

Since I had made up my mind, I didn't go to the swing rack for three or five days. Meizhuang didn't come for a few days, saying that the emperor was wet from the rain a few days ago and suffered some coldness, so he wanted to go to serve the horse. I knew that the emperor was unhappy, so the King of Qinghe must have entered the palace to check in, and he didn't even take a step forward in the palace gate, for fear of meeting him again.

However, I felt uncomfortable. After a few days of depressedness, I heard that the emperor's illness was cured, and the princes and ministers who were exploring the disease also went back. Then I felt relieved to go out and relax.

Living in Tangli Palace for a while, it was just the most common plain dress. There were only a few simple pearls and jade on his head, far away from his gorgeous clothes. He was still tightened when he left, as if he had been looking forward to it for a week, and he would meet him again. He sat upright in front of the bronze mirror, picked up an jade hairpin and inserted it, and grabbed a pair of silver needles on his bun and inserted it into a half-moon shape. He was holding a pair of bead earrings to wear, but he saw the copper on his head.

The way Chang'e was flying to the moon with the edge of the mirror, thinking of the poem "Looking at the blue sea and blue sky, what is the heart that is placed every night", my heart suddenly cooled down and my gestures slowed down. When my hand relaxed, the pair of bead earrings fell on the dressing table, and it was dripping and slitting, vaguely flowing with a faint pearl light. I felt that my heart was quite stupid, and I always felt that "women should be willing to please themselves", but I should not regard him as the one who pleases themselves.

Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, you have always claimed to be smart, but you can't even see through this? Asking this heartily, it became even more sad. I saw through it, but I saw through it or could not suppress myself? What happened to me? I was so abnormal, I was just a man who could meet by chance but could not get it. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help but feel anxious. Finally, I was bored and walked out alone. Liu Zhu saw me alone and came out to serve me.

After the spring rain, the flowers and leaves grew more prosperous, and the stamens spit out overnight. After the heavy rain, the apricot blossoms did not wither and fell, but instead bloomed more colorfully, like the morning light of a tree. However, the spring scenery did not fade, but the people on that day disappeared.

My heart was sad. Liu Zhu saw that my face was unhappy and said, "I'll push the lady to swing for a while, so it's okay to loosen my muscles and bones."

I don’t know if Liu Zhu was absent-minded, but her gestures were extremely slow, and she swung slowly a few times. Suddenly, a woman behind her scolded sternly: “Who is on the swing! Why can’t I come to see Miss Yu even though I’m not here!”

I was unhappy when I heard someone talking to me like this, so I still held back the swing and turned around to see it. But I saw a slender woman wearing a palace concubine's uniform and wearing pearls and jade-like hair standing under the tree, full of arrogance. A man next to me who looked like a palace maid pointed at me and called me, "I can't come yet, it's just you." I was immediately angry, and I tried my best to endure it, maintaining the smile on my face, and just couldn't stand it. Liu Zhu frowned and said, "My little master is the nobleman of Tangli Gongwan."

The palace maid looked a little timid and looked at me a few times. Seeing that I was dressed simply, she seemed to be unbelievable, and only looked at Niangzi Yu. Niangzi covered her mouth and smiled, "Is there anyone like Guan Guiren in the palace? I have never heard of it."

The palace maid seemed to be thinking about something and said for a while: "Report to the little master, there is a noble man living in Tangli Palace, but he has a stubborn disease and rarely goes out."

Niangzi Yu's eyes closed and walked up to him and said, "Hello, Guru Wan." He looked very disrespectful, and he nodded slightly when he bowed, and did not even bend his knees.

I smiled faintly and said, "Hello, Niangzi Yu. Why is it so good that I am so happy to come out and walk around these corners?"

Niangzi Yu's eyes flew and said contemptuously: "My sister wants to serve the emperor, how can she be as free as her sister?" He paused and said: "My sister wants to advise her that since she is suffering from a stubborn disease, please avoid going out and walking around, so as not to infect others and become more annoying." After that, she smiled proudly and wanted to leave. I was already angry. I was humiliated by her for no reason. Liu Zhu was so angry that her eyebrows stood up.

I thought about it and said, "Thank you, my sister, for reminding me, I know what I know. But I also have something to tell my sister."

She said "Oh" and stopped and looked at me proudly: "I wonder what my sister has to do?"

I smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor has always liked women with good etiquette. My sister wanted to tell her that the courtesy she gave to me just now was very bad. I guess my sister is not familiar with the etiquette in the palace. Why not do this? I will let my maid Liu Zhu demonstrate." As she said that, she glanced at Liu Zhu.

Liu Zhu immediately understood and said to Madam Yu, "Please watch it." After that, he bent down to me and bowed his head, and said, "My sister, Madam Yu from Hongni Pavilion, please see Guru Wan, please."

I smiled and said, "I often hear the sisters in the palace praise Yu's intelligence and must have learned it. Please give me another tribute to me as Liu Zhu demonstrated just now."

After hearing this, Miss Yu was so angry that her mouth and nose were twisted, and she said sternly: "You are a noble man who has no favors in the palace. How dare I let the little master bow and worship you respectfully, and you are worthy!"

The palace maid beside her hurriedly pulled off her sleeve and said, "My master, she...Gui Ren Wan is indeed above you, so it is better..."

Madam Yu was so angry that she slapped the palace maid's face. The palace maid's face suddenly became swollen and took two steps back. She scolded, "Eat something inside and outside! She is timid and afraid of things, and it is useless at all." She sneered at me again: "Don't Guru Wan really thinks that you can determine the superiority and inferiority by just the position, right? Whoever the emperor loves is the honor, otherwise no matter how high the position is, it is just a humble body! Besides, your position is only two levels above me, why dare to instruct me?"

I was about to open my mouth when a familiar voice not far away said coldly: "If it is my instructor, what if you want you to bow to the noble people in Guan Yu?"

When I heard the sound, my face was very familiar, and my heart was suddenly filled with chaos, like a cold and hot disease I had when I was young. My face became cold and hot, and I suddenly changed, and I just stared at him in a daze, not knowing what to do. It seemed that I didn't believe it, but I couldn't help but believe it. Who else in the world dared to call himself "I" besides him?

Niangzi Yu's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly knelt on the ground with the palace maid and said respectfully: "The Emperor has thousands of blessings."

The emperor nodded and did not ask her to get up. She asked carefully: "Why is the emperor here?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Then why are you here?"

Niangzi Yu said timidly: "I heard that the emperor has come here to relax recently, and the scenery must be beautiful, so I come and take a look."

The emperor smiled, his tone was slightly sarcastic, and said, "It can be seen that you are not honest, and you are not honest."

When Niangzi Yu saw the emperor smiling, she didn't think deeply, and said in a charming voice: "I just want to accompany the emperor more."

The emperor's voice trembled, and although he was still smiling, his eyes were cold: "Why are you very clear about my whereabouts?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Yu trembled and immediately bowed her head and stopped talking.

He smiled at me, and I just stared at him blankly and didn't say anything. Liu Zhu hurriedly pushed my arm in a hurry, and then I woke up and knelt down at him in a daze, saying, "I am the Zhen of Tangli Palace, please see the emperor, the emperor has thousands of blessings." Liu Zhu also knelt down and kowtowed.

He helped me up and said with a smile: "Your body has not yet been healed, why do you perform such a great ritual?" He leaned closer to my ear and whispered: "I made a promise that day, not intentional."

I blushed and said, "I don't dare."

"I've come here to wait for you every few days, why don't you go out?"

I said anxiously, "Emperor." While winking at Niangzi Yu, I hint that he was still there.

He called Liu Zhu and said, "I'm so happy to support your little boss. She's weak." He curled his smile and looked at Niangzi Yu who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to show off. He slowly said, "Your old problem has not been changed. It seems that the punishment I gave you last time was too light."

When Mrs. Yu heard the conversation between me and the emperor, sweat had already flowed down her forehead. Now, hearing the emperor's tone, she knelt forward two steps, pulled the corner of the emperor's robe and cried: "Emperor, I know I am wrong. Today, I am confused and confused, so I bumped into my noble sister. I am willing to take the blame to Concubine Guan, and I also ask the emperor to forgive me this time."

The emperor looked at her in disgust and did not answer. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Mrs. Yu quickly took off her bead hairpin, earrings, and walked to me, kowtow and crying, "My sister made a big mistake today, and I dare not beg for the nobles to forgive me. But I ask the nobles to serve the emperor together, so I beg the emperor to spare me."

I glanced at the disheveled hair and cried in embarrassment. I couldn't help but feel compassion. I pushed Liu Zhu's hand away and walked to the emperor and said softly: "It's great to know that you can correct your mistakes. I think that Miss Yu really knew that she was wrong, so I would like to ask the emperor to spare her this time."

The emperor glanced at her and said, "Since it was Guan Guru who personally asked for mercy on you, I wouldn't be too embarrassed to show her face. But you never change your advice, it's really abominable!" The emperor walked a few feet away, clapped his hands and signaled, and a fifty-year-old eunuch and more than a dozen Yulin guards walked out from behind the dense trees. He went up to ask for peace and salute me again. The emperor frowned and said, "I know you follow me. Forget it, Li Chang, pass on my will and surrender Yu to change clothes, and move out of Hongni Pavilion today!" Li Chang lowered his head and responded to "yes". Just as he was about to turn around, the emperor glanced at the trembling lady Yu and said, "Slowly. Yu Chang, didn't you say that Guan Guru's position is only two levels higher than you. Li Chang, passed on the six palaces and Jin Guiren Zhen was the concubine of Guan."

Li Chang was startled and said with a look of embarrassment: "Emperor, Guan... the little master was promoted before he was sleeping. I'm afraid... it's not in accordance with the rules."

The emperor changed his expression and felt chilling in his words: "You are doing your job better now, and I need to ask more about my decree."

Li Chang was shocked and hurriedly kowtowed twice and sued him and went down to pass the imperial edict.

The emperor looked at me with a smile: "Why are you so happy? You even forgot to thank me."

I knelt down and said seriously: "I am one who has no merit in the country, two who has no help in the dragon vein, three who has not yet served in bed, so I really dare not receive the emperor's kindness."

The emperor smiled and said, "I will kneel down at any time, and I am not afraid of being tired of myself. Since I say you can take it, you will definitely take it."

I was moved. The emperor didn't even look at Yu. He only looked at the palace maid who was so scared that he looked deserted by Yu. He spoke in a weak tone: "You can rely on the power of others to do hard work in the Jingshi!" The two of them quickly thanked En, and stumbled away.
