The crabapple tree is fragrant in the tent, and the bright moon is in my arms

After the rain stopped, the sky became clear and blue, and a colorful rainbow hung in the sky, like a dream outside the palace walls at the four corners.

The palace servants were busy sweeping the palace path with their heads down.

In Ningzhu Pavilion.

After washing up, Zhaoyue lazily leaned on the small couch. She was wearing a quilted snow-blue Tianxiangjuan long skirt with a butterfly pattern. The delicate and jingling little tassel hairpin on her hair swayed slightly with her movements.

The halo of light coming in through the bright window shone on her cheek. Taoxi, who came in with cakes in her hands, was stunned where she stood.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot?" Zhaoyue looked at her and smiled.

"My lady, Taoxi came in just now. I thought it was the moon fairy in the sky. It's even more beautiful than a rainbow!" Taoxi put the cakes away anxiously, with stars in her eyes.

Zhao Yue reached out and tapped her forehead: "You are so smooth-talking. Who did you learn that from?"

Taoxi smiled sweetly, and when she saw Zhaoyue yawning, she said, "My lady, you didn't get enough rest, did you?"

Zhao Yue shook her head, her white wrists and white wrists, her fingertips slid slightly on the plate, looking at the delicate and delicious glutinous rice cake, and whispered: "Taoxi, do you like looking at flowers?"

"Of course, young lady. You loved to swing in the garden when you were at the mansion. I heard that this palace is full of exotic flowers and plants, and they are in full bloom. It's very beautiful!"

Tao Xi frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "But... My lady, you haven't slept with me yet, can we go to the Imperial Garden?"

Zhaoyue raised her eyebrows slightly, the smile on her lips never faded. Whether she could go in or not, she had to go in.

In her previous life, Ning Ruxin first met His Majesty there.

She stood up, her body lithe, and pointed at her cloak: "It's sunny outside, let's go out and get some fresh air."

Taoxi had no choice but to take her cloak and follow obediently.

Servants on the palace roads had to kneel down and bow their heads when they saw their masters, and the Imperial Guards had to turn their heads and face the wall when they were patrolling. This was the rule.

Zhaoyue walked neither hurriedly nor slowly, but she was so charming and had a slender waist that some young guards secretly looked up at her back.

The leader was particularly handsome, with a calm expression. He coughed lightly, and the guards immediately became serious.

Zhaoyue could naturally sense the gazes behind her, and her eyes stayed on the leading man for a few seconds.

It turned out to be him, the one who had an affair with Ning Ruxin, Brother Yan.

A smile escaped her lips.

How would he feel if Ning Ruxin successfully slept with him today?

It took about two incense sticks to reach the imperial garden from the long palace road. The bluestone turned into rain flower pebbles, and the garden was full of blooming flowers. Every flower had golden branches and jade leaves, and they were upright and lively. Yesterday's rain only made their petals more lustrous, making them even more beautiful.

Zhao Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go there and take a rest."

Fortunately, we only have to pay our respects to the Queen five times a month. If we had to do this every day, no concubine in the palace would get fat.

In the rain pavilion, Taoxi frowned and said, "My lady, you have been sitting for a long time, and there is not even a cup of tea here. Let's go back."

Seeing that Zhaoyue didn't listen, he muttered again: "You don't appreciate the flowers or feed the fish. This autumn wind is bleak. What if it hurts your body?"

"How can you be so delicate?" Zhao Yue laughed and retorted, compromising: "Okay, okay, go get me some fish food, and I'll feed them, okay?"

Zhao Yue looked at the carp in the small pond and said, "Go ahead."

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, Taoxi could only sigh and put the cloak on her: "My lady, please don't run around. I will be back soon."

After she left, the smile on Zhaoyue's face disappeared. He looked towards the road ahead, but there was no sign of Zhu Dingyuan there.

It was already past lunch time, so why didn't he come?

Has everything changed?

Zhaoyue clenched her fingers slightly, pursed her lips, and her eyes were dark.

She stood up and faced the pond. She was a little angry and kicked the stool hard.

A voice that sounded like a smile but not a laugh came from behind, slightly hoarse and slightly cold: "What's wrong with you, young lady? You're taking your anger out on the stool in the pavilion."

Zhaoyue was startled. The flowerpot bottom was already difficult to walk on, and she slipped when she turned around.

It's over. She has really lost face today.

There was no pain, only the sound of tinkling tassels colliding.

Zhaoyue's eyelashes trembled. She heard a chuckle and opened her eyes quickly.

Her waist was held by one hand, and his handsome face, which could not hide his coldness, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a smile.

"you!"

Zhao Yue panicked and realized that she was still in his arms. She struggled and almost fell backwards again.

He Quan stepped back a little, letting her support him with his arm, and said in a hoarse voice, "My lady, are you so happy to see me?"

Zhaoyue stopped, wishing she could jump into the pond and become a carp. Her stupid look just now was actually seen by him.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, He Quan straightened his body and said, "My servant has overstepped his authority, please don't be angry, my lady."

"You, why are you here?"

Zhao Yue cleared her throat and finally met his gaze. She noticed that the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and said in annoyance, "You are making fun of me."

He Quan's smile quickly disappeared: "I am just a lowly eunuch who sweeps the floor, so naturally I am here."

He narrowed his narrow lotus eyes and said in a low voice, "Who are you waiting for, young master?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"If it is your Majesty, then I am afraid that the young master will be disappointed."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yue frowned.

"Since you are willing to wait, I will not disturb you." He Quan glanced at the carp in the pond and said, "My lord, please don't feed them later. Several of them have died of overeating."

After saying this, he left decisively.

Zhao Yue bit her lip in anger, what an arrogant slave!

"My lady, you don't want to feed it anymore!" Taoxi, who had just arrived, was still holding the fish food bowl, but saw Zhaoyue leaving angrily.

"I'm already full, why feed me more?"

"My lord, please walk slower, my lord...I can't keep up with you...be careful not to sprain your ankle..." Taoxi shouted anxiously.

Zhao Yue felt a surge of anger in his heart. After hearing these words, his steps became unsteady and he felt a piercing pain in his ankle: "Hiss..."

Oh, I'm so unlucky. Everything goes wrong.

Finally, he helped Taoxi limp into Ningzhu Pavilion.

Qiuju, who was standing at the door, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the young lady?" and followed Taoxi into the room with the young eunuch Dengzi.

"Quick, bring some hot water. The young lady has sprained her ankle. Xiao Dengzi, go get the imperial physician."

"Okay, Sister Taoxi, don't panic."

Little Dengzi ran out and saw the eunuch Kang Fuhai and said hurriedly: "Master, the young lady's foot is injured. We have to go to the Imperial Hospital."

Kang Fuhai had a round face and a fat body. He snorted coldly, "You're hurt before you even sleep with me. You're really unlucky."

Xiao Dengzi: "Then Master, are we still going?"

"Go, of course. As for whether you can be invited to move, it is not for us to say, hmph."
