After amusing Xie Zhiqi, Su Feiran walked out of the west attic with a relaxed feeling and returned to the bedroom with Xunyin.

In the end, Su Feiran did not play tricks on Xie Zhiqi and gave away all the brocade that should be given away.

At this moment, Yuxiao had returned and brought a letter.

Su Feiran couldn't help but wonder, if anyone in the palace wanted to talk to her, couldn't they just come to her house? Why bother with all this effort?

So she sat down at the table, opened the letter and realized why the writer chose this way to contact her.

——Letter in English.

It must have been written by a foreigner.

There was nothing special about the content of the letter. It mainly said that the foreign guest had been thinking about Shakespeare's poem since he heard it by chance that day. As he was a man, he could not contact the women in the back garden at will, so he had to use this innocent way to contact Su Feiran.

The purpose of his writing this letter was just to ask for a written version.

"How difficult is this!"

Su Feiran smiled happily, and quickly asked Yuxiao to fetch paper and pen, and then she copied Shakespeare's poem on the paper in a flamboyant manner. At the end of the poem, she was still undecided, and she signed a big "Fei" in the lower right corner.

Magnificent! Magnificent!

Su Feiran looked at the paper filled with words with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said proudly: "Take it!"

Looking at this posture, I thought it was the immortal poet Li Bai who was drunk and splashing ink, and his literary talent surpassed that of a hundred thousand scholars.

However, Yuxiao had followed Su Feiran for a day and knew her master's character very well - a pig with a green onion in its nose, pretending to be an elephant! Therefore, she sneered at Su Feiran's grand gesture, put her calligraphy in her arms, and ran away.

She was too lazy to even look at it.

Xunyin was different. She had just come to Liu Ronghua and didn't understand anything. She just felt that Liu Ronghua's personality was changeable and his behavior was strange. She was curious about the rumor that Su Feiran could speak foreign languages, so she came forward and asked Yuxiao to spread out the reply letter for her to take a look.

Yuxiao couldn't persuade her, so she took out the rolled-up reply letter from her sleeve, and with both hands, Su Feiran's calligraphy appeared on the paper.

The wet ink was a mess of scribbles, and the only Chinese character, "斐", looked like something a three-year-old had dug in a sandbox. I can only say that this reply letter was worthless except for this little bit of ink.

Xunyin was dumbfounded when he saw it, that's it? !

She turned her head calmly and looked at Su Feiran. Su Feiran was still standing in front of the table, with his arms folded and looking up at the sky with a smug look on his face, as if he had just completed a masterpiece.

Yu Xiao looked at Xun Yin, pointed at the letter, then at Su Feiran, then at his own head, and drew a circle with his finger half an inch away from his temple.

Xunyin nodded seriously, and she also agreed with Yuxiao's opinion - our master is not smart!

Yuxiao took the calligraphy and went to deliver the letter. Everyone in the palace knew where the foreign guest lived, so she didn't have to bother asking. Anyway, this was an easy job. Xunyin accompanied Su Feiran to write for another afternoon. When Su Feiran got tired of writing, he would use paint to copy the pine and bamboo painting on the wall.

The leisure time was both slow and short, and the two of them unknowingly spent the time until dusk. The little maid beside Wu Jiayan came to say that Concubine Jia was not feeling well in the afternoon and now her head was groggy. There was no need for the concubines to pay their respects, as the emperor had already taken the imperial physician to see her.

Concubine Jia was exempted from the evening greetings, and Su Feiran felt relieved. She was too lazy to go out anyway, so she would play for a while before going to dinner, and after dinner she would go to play chess with Xie Zhiqi, and then go to sleep. Who said that life in the palace was not happy?

Su Feiran wanted to live a carefree life, but Qin Fengan couldn't fulfill her wish.

The sky was as dark as ink, and the eunuch's voice sounded out of nowhere outside the door: "The emperor summoned Liu Ronghua to sleep with him tonight!"

Did I hear that right?!

Before Xunyin could respond, Su Feiran pushed the door open first and saw the eunuch waiting outside with his head lowered. He asked, "Isn't the emperor taking care of the sick Concubine Jia? Why did he come to summon me?"

The eunuch brother hurriedly stopped him and said, "Hey, Liu Ronghua, you are not afraid of losing your head for saying such things! The emperor's words are the will of heaven, who dares to speculate on the will of heaven! He doesn't need to give a reason when he summons anyone, just go!"

Su Feiran sighed and softened his attitude: "Then give me some time to clean up. I can't go there with a dishevelled appearance. Father-in-law, don't wait outside. Come in and have some tea."

"That's not necessary. I have other things to do. His Majesty asked Liu Ronghua to get ready and go directly to Yongning Palace. The sedan chair is waiting outside Zichen Palace."

After saying this, the eunuch bowed and left.

Su Feiran sighed. Qin Fengan was really not a considerate person. Although she knew that Qin Fengan invited her over to deal with the Queen Mother's urging him to sleep with her and to discuss things, he was too ostentatious! In the eyes of the people in the harem, it was inevitable that they would think that the emperor favored Su Feiran and favored her for two consecutive nights, leaving behind the newcomers who had just entered the palace.

Not only that, today Imperial Concubine Jia was ill, and Qin Feng'an took care of her for a while before running away. Even if Qin Feng'an said he was busy with state affairs, he still had time to favor his concubines, isn't that a contradiction?

Even if Concubine Jia is broad-minded, she probably won't look at Su Feiran well.

Su Feiran was vaguely afraid of paying respects to Concubine Jia tomorrow, and wondered if he should find an excuse, such as pretending to be sick, and not go.

"Master, let's get ready according to Xiao Quanzi's instructions." Xunyin had already started helping Su Feiran choose clothes. "Master, please don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long. When I was still in Miaolefang, I heard that a concubine was picked by His Majesty, but because she took too long to wash and dress, His Majesty couldn't wait any longer and summoned other concubines instead. Our emperor's mind is very unpredictable."

Su Feiran's mind moved. Is there such a good thing?

However, this thought only flashed through his mind. The current Qin Fengan was no longer the Qin Fengan of the past. This was a secret known only to Su Feiran and Qin Fengan.

After a troublesome wash and grooming, Su Feiran finally looked like a proper concubine, instead of a bored stay-at-home in her bedroom wearing only a single layer of clothes.

Su Feiran raised the bronze mirror and looked at it carefully. Xunyin's makeup skills were as exquisite as Yuxiao's. However, perhaps because she had never done makeup for a concubine before, the makeup on Su Feiran's face today was much lighter than yesterday, but it also made her look very pretty, like a lotus out of pure water.

At this moment, Yuxiao came back and helped the inexperienced Xunyin to touch up Su Feiran's makeup. Finally, she and Xunyin sent Su Feiran to the sedan chair and watched her being carried to Yongning Palace by the sedan bearers.

"Sister Yuxiao, what do you think of our master? Is he good?" Xunyin suddenly asked as he watched a group of people gradually go away.

"Of course." Yu Xiao touched her still swollen belly. "Rong Hua is not as considerate as Empress Xian, but she treats the servants more casually. If compared with Empress Xian, each has its own advantages."

Xunyin and Yuxiao watched the sedan chair carrying Liu Ronghua disappear around the corner of the corridor. The two of them closed the courtyard door tacitly, walked side by side, and returned to the east attic.

I only heard Xunyin asking and answering herself, "I feel that this place is freer than Miaolefang and the Weaving Bureau. You don't know, today I spent the whole afternoon writing and painting with Ronghua in the bedroom. Ronghua even asked me to do it myself, saying that if I came, I would definitely not be as good as her."

"I only came half a day earlier than you, and I've already been fed to the point of vomiting by the master. I really feel like I've eaten more this morning than I have in my entire life." Yu Xiao felt the same way, and patted Xun Yin's shoulder while sighing, "Tell me, how could the emperor like a woman like the master?"

"Who knows?" Xunyin said, "I think it's quite interesting what the master did. You don't know, before the master left, he took some works away, saying that he wanted to open His Majesty's eyes..."

It is a well-known fact in the entire palace that His Majesty likes women with both virtue and talent.

After hearing this, Yu Xiao was silent for a long time, and then said, "It's over, the master is going to fall out of favor."
