Summer wraps autumn, water keeps wind

One day, Qin Huan had not yet left the police Fangxuan, and met Linglong who was beside Yaoxiang in the yard.Seeing that Qin Huan was hurrying to leave with a letter in her hand, Linglong remembered her lady telling her to pay attention to the behavior of Wanzhao and others, so she went up to inquire about it.

Linglong pretended to smile and said: "Sister Qin Huan, what can you do, you are in such a hurry?"

Seeing Qin Huan, she seemed to be in a hurry and said: "A few days ago, my young lady thanked the empress for her kindness, but it was not good for her body to be caught in the wind. I wanted to thank the princes for their kindness, but now I'm afraid I can't, so I wrote a letter to thank you The book told me to submit it."

Linglong was overjoyed when she heard this, and Yaoxiang kept asking her to find a chance to get close to the prince, so she happened to meet him.Linglong said: "My sister will go, so why panic?"

Qin Huan sighed: "My lady said that it would be impolite to go by myself. How can I go empty-handed? Let me go to the dining room and ask for some peach blossom cakes to send to the second prince. I only heard that he loves these."

Linglong hurriedly smiled and said: "My sister went like this, it's so inconvenient to carry the letter, and I have to go back and forth, why don't I collect it for you first, it won't be too late for my sister to get the peach blossom cakes." It was inconvenient to write a letter, so I gave it to Linglong and left in a hurry.

Linglong joyfully took the letter and went to Yaoxiang.Yaoxiang snorted coldly and said: "She still wants to please the prince, is she worthy?"

Linglong smiled and said, "It's just that she is not blessed, unlike the young lady who is blessed."

Yaoxiang was also a little suspicious and said: "If she is playing tricks, what should I write in this letter to embarrass me?" She looked at the envelope while talking.

The envelope was just an ordinary one, with a plum blossom pin fastened at the opening, and no wax was used to seal the seal.She opened it and saw that there were some words of respect and gratitude, nothing special.

She put the envelope back and said with a smile: "It gave me a chance, after all, I am worthy of the position of the prince and concubine."

Then she said to Linglong: "Go and get some peach blossom cakes from the cakes for the princesses on credit, let's go for her." Linglong said beamingly: "Yes."

Yaoxiang happily took Linglong there.Qin Huan had already come back from the back door, seeing it clearly, she snorted and went back to Wanzhao's room.piano

Huan closed the door and said bitterly: "Miss, why let her take advantage of it? How did the Zhou family forget about us?"

Wanzhao put two round red silk plasters on his temples, and lay down under the quilt with his eyes closed.Wan Zhao stood up and said, "Since the incident last time, I have been pushed to the forefront, and everyone is talking about the matter between me and the two princes. If my maid has too close contact with the prince, she will definitely fall into the limelight. But Xie En's rules cannot be broken, anyway, she is also thinking about the position of the prince and concubine, so it is better to fulfill her."

Wan Zhao said coldly again: "Although I gave her a chance, she may not be able to take it."

Yaoxiang went all the way to Cheqiu Pavilion, Du Pin greeted her from inside with a smiling face, and said a thousand times, "What is Miss Zhou doing?"

Yaoxiang sighed and said: "Sister Liu is not in good health, so it is inconvenient to thank you in person, so I will send you a letter of gratitude."

Du Pin went in to report, and after a while he went out and said: "My master asked you to go in and answer."

Yaoxiang quickly thanked her with a smile, and quietly asked Linglong to reward her.Before going in, he had heard the little eunuch at the door say that the eldest prince was also there, and he was more and more overjoyed, so he walked a few steps closer to the front of the hall.

The plaque in the hall is hung with the four characters "Laichu Xinlin", which are elegant, free and easy, smart and fresh.When she stepped into the hall, she only heard the two of them talking and laughing happily, and she didn't know what to say.

"Brother is wrong, he has read a lot of books for nothing, don't you know what this sentence means?" Liu Fu said seriously.

Bi Xin smiled and took Liufu's hand and said, "Why not, I think it's just right."

When Yaoxiang entered the palace, she saw the two princes standing in front of the black lacquered chicken wing wood desk carved with three friends of Suihan, arguing for something, so she could only salute and said: "Your maidservant Yaoxiang has seen the two princes."

Liu Fu hurriedly said to Yaoxiang: "Since you are a princess, you naturally have some literary talents. Let me ask you, 'Hold your hand and grow old with you.' How do you explain it?"

Yaoxiang was from a famous family, and when she saw Liu Fu asking this question, she wanted to show off: "This sentence was originally written as a saying between soldiers holding hands and agreeing to kill the enemy and serve the country together. Later generations quoted it as a congratulatory speech between husband and wife. If you want to explain this sentence It is necessary to connect the meaning of the previous sentence to fully understand it. 'Death and life are in agreement with each other, talk to Zicheng.', which means: 'Regardless of life and death, you and I are in love with each other.' Only then can the meaning of the next sentence 'I I only wish to hold your hand and live till the end of my life.'”

Liu Fu nodded and blamed Bi Xin and said: "This sentence refers to the relationship between husband and wife, so you can see brother Hu Bi." With a smirk on his forehead, he bit his ear and said something.

From tip of ear to cheek, Liu Fu turned red, turned around and pressed against his chest, thumped his chest and said: "What nonsense!" Then he lowered his head and didn't look at him.

Seeing this, Bi Xin couldn't stop laughing, and was about to put his arms around Liu Fu to coax him, when he remembered that there was another person who was not from this palace, so he stopped for a while.Liu Fu panicked with shame, unwilling to speak.

Bi Xin said with a straight face: "I seem to have met Miss Zhou several times. I don't know what it is to come here?"

Yaoxiang was just dazed, many thoughts flashed through her mind, the rumors of the palace people, the taboos in the palace.She didn't believe those things about the two princes, and only treated them as nonsense, but seeing the truth now, such a fact is unbearable.

She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied: "My maidservant sent a thank-you letter for Sister Liu." After handing over the book, she said: "It was useless for my maidservant to plead with your mother back then, but fortunately the two princes rescued me, and my maidservant thanked you two on behalf of my sister." A prince." As he spoke, he bowed curtly again.He just nodded and said nothing.Yaoxiang forced a smile again and said: "I heard that the second prince loves peach blossoms, so my maid sent some peach blossom cakes."

Hearing this, Liu Fu just turned his head and caressed his face, his eyes sparkled.He didn't let go of the hand that was still clinging to the return, but he clenched it tightly, reminding him not to lose his composure.

Bi Xin said to Yao Xiang: "The peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, so it's fine to enjoy them if you break them. Why make cakes and defile their nature, you can take them back."

With tears in her eyes, Yaoxiang bit her lip, made a promise, and turned back out of the hall.Standing by the side of the hall, she could only hear a slightly reproachful voice from inside: "Brother, since you've got flowers that are worthy of you, let's go enjoy the scenery, I won't keep you today." Liufu, the accessories on his body rang lightly: "Even if you drive me away with a bamboo pole, I will not leave today."

There is no servant serving near the hall, only Yaoxiang stands alone.Seeing Yaoxiang standing in front of the palace gate, Du Pin was in a daze, and quickly took her by the sleeves, pulled her aside and slowly said to the pale-faced Yaoxiang: "Girl, no matter what you hear or see, don't take it to heart. Some grievances are very common. The most important thing is to be good at your own faults, and you can only keep everything else safe." But how could Yaoxiang listen to it, and she left Cheqiu Pavilion and went straight to Concubine Shu's palace.

Concubine Shu heard the servant report "Miss Yaoxiang is here" and she saw Yaoxiang crying and trotting into the hall. She was not blessed, so she just knelt at Concubine Shu's feet and cried without listening.The servant next to her helped her up and helped her to a seat.Concubine Shu fiddled with the hairpin on her head and said, "What made you panic like this, even disregarding the palace rules." Yaoxiang wiped away her tears and said everything that happened just now.Concubine Shu has also heard about the two princes, but she has no evidence and dare not assert.

Concubine Shu was not surprised and said slowly: "Are you sure those two are really good friends with Long Yang?"

Yaoxiang bit the silk she was wiping away her tears and said decisively: "I heard the truth, the first prince said that he would grow old with the second prince, and he plans to stay in Cheqiu Pavilion today!"

After hearing this, Concubine Shu sneered in her heart. With the relationship between brothers blocking it, these are nothing after all.Regardless of whether these two people really have anything to do with each other, but there are already too many gossips in the palace. If she wants her child to be able to succeed in the future, this is her only excuse. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, which seemed to have deep meaning.

The policeman Fangxuan got into trouble again.It turned out that Yaoxiang gave the peach blossom cakes to the princesses on credit in order to please her, but she was refuted by her, and she suspected that the relationship between the two princes was not right, and she would never have a chance to become a princess, so she ran to Concubine Shu's palace to cry and complained, which attracted a lot of attention. Concubine Shu has the heart of harming others.However, Princess Qingyang came to police Fangxuan to study. Qingyang usually likes peach blossom cakes. Although she doesn't use them every day, she happened to want to eat them today, so she ordered the palace staff to pick them up and found that the amount was wrong. go.Qingyang felt displeased when he thought of Concubine Shu's actions that day, and knew that Yaoxiang was a relative of Concubine Shu, so he deliberately punished her severely.

Wan Zhao helped Qin Huan out of the room, and saw Yao Xiang kneeling in front of the hall, her face was full of red marks, her cheeks were swollen high, her eyes were glued to tears and she could barely open them.Seeing this, Qin Huan was very relieved, and walked to Yaoxiang with Wan Zhao, and said with a smile: "Princess Qingyang, you can say it, this cheap maid who steals her mouth will not be forgiven, but Princess Renshan spared the twenty lashes and slapped her mouth instead. Twenty, you will be fined to kneel for two hours. Miss Zhou must remember the kindness of Concubine Shu, if you were not her relative, the princess would not be so gracious."

Yaoxiang's kneeling hands and feet were weak, her mouth was speechless, and her whole body was trembling.Wanzhao watched as Yaoxiang removed her long black hair, and gently twisted a few strands along it.Yaoxiang's whole body trembled, as if she wanted to hide in fear, when she turned her head, a few strands of hair were pulled painfully, and a whining sound came out of her mouth, like begging for mercy, but also like cursing.Wanzhao's face was imprinted in the sunlight, which was beautiful and radiant.She said softly, "You hurt now? Have you ever knelt on broken pottery and felt the pottery breaking against your bones? Can you bear the heartbreak of your parents suffering in the barren land? Can you bear it?" Is it the lowliness of losing your family background and being bullied day and night in the deep palace?"

After hearing this, Yaoxiang shrugged her shoulders, as if laughing that she deserved it, that she was mean, that she was worthless.Wan Zhao pinched her face, forcing her to raise her head, Yaoxiang's painful tears flowed down her face.Wanzhao said coldly: "I've had enough of your bullying, you should also enjoy a more humble life." Yaoxiang gritted her teeth and spat out two words with all her strength: "Bitch!"
