Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 20

On the small pavilion by the pool, the sky is covered with wide sleeves, jade rooibos are singing, drunk, after a dance in neon clothes and feathers, Duan Zhaoling concentrates on enjoying the music and keeps few words.Listening to the concubines and concubines talking to each other, the corners of their lips smiled from time to time, that smile was pure and gentle, very charming, and the brows and eyes were open, like the clouds and fog, and the scenery of the moon.

Lin Qingqing was on the left seat, her eyes were full of the unparalleled elegance of the person in front of her, she couldn't help but be infatuated, she never imagined that the man she fell in love with at first sight would now be able to make her dream come true, be able to accompany her, and be blessed with grace , Is there anything more perfect than this time?

Even if she was asked to pay for it with her life, she would still be willing to exchange her life for such a lingering love.

The palace attire for today's banquet is exactly the Ruyi emerald skirt given by Yu Duan Zhaoling. It took seven days for the Secretary to get such a dress. The workmanship is fine, the material is light and even, and it is precious.

She had just accepted Yulu, and she had only served His Majesty for a few days, and she still seemed shy and unfamiliar, but in Duan Zhaoling's eyes, she had a natural gentleness, which made him very comfortable.

He didn't talk much, just lowered his head and peeled the lychees carefully, Duan Zhaoling gently held her catkins, "How come you only give me to eat, but you don't taste any of them?"

Hearing his gentle and caring tone, Lin Qingqing couldn't help thinking of the tenderness of the past few days, blushed, lowered her eyes and said softly, "The concubine sees that His Majesty likes to eat, and it is much sweeter than eating it in my own mouth."

Duan Zhaoling smiled brightly, it was very useful, so Suihao turned his wrist, and sent the luster from his fingertips into her mouth.

Concubine Yi saw it in her eyes and was jealous in her heart. She hated that face that looked so much like Concubine Rong, but Duan Zhaoling was so gracious and loved her like holding her in the palm of his hand.

It's been a long time since a concubine has been so favored, even after several years in the palace, she has never been so sympathetic to His Majesty!

The more jealous she was, the more calm her face became. She drank a bottle and slowly turned her eyes to Wang Meiren.

The beauty Wang looked at Lin Qingqing's holy family, and was quite dissatisfied. She got Yifei's order, and then curled up, with a smile on her face, "Look at Sister Lin's sweet mouth, teach us to be sisters." I’m ashamed of myself, it’s really time urging people.”

Duan Zhaoling squinted his eyes, brushed off his clothes, and said, "You sang the song "Yuyao Song" just now very well. It sounds sweeter than Qing'er's."

Wang Meiren took advantage of the situation and said, "Sister Lin is good-looking, and her singing voice must be excellent. Why don't you take advantage of this good time to sing a song for His Majesty, and teach us to follow along and get inspired."

Lin Qingqing didn't expect her to have such a trick, and suddenly made trouble. She was not good at rhythm, she only specialized in playing zither, and singing is definitely not her forte, so she couldn't help but look at Duan Zhaoling clearly.

"Qing'er has worked hard for the past few days, so I don't need to sing. It's also a pleasure to listen to the music with me." Duan Zhaoling was obviously partial to her, and the beauty Wang stood there, so she lost face. seat, sealed with tea.

"The concubine refuted His Majesty's elegance, will His Majesty be annoyed?"

Duan Zhaoling shook his head with a faint smile, and Concubine Yi ordered someone to remove the wine glass, saying, "Alcohol hurts the body, so you should not drink too much, why don't you ask Sister Lin to brew a cup of clear tea for His Majesty to soothe the hangover."

"Concubine Yi is thoughtful, it's up to you."

Concubine Yi smiled and called Mo Yan, her eyes rolled slightly, then Mo Yan understood and led Lin Qingqing down.Not long after, Lin Qingqing moved lightly with lotus steps, brought up a small blue and white porcelain cup, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Concubine Yi sat still, Duan Zhaoling took the tea, Fang handed it to her lips but stopped suddenly, her handsome eyebrows frowned immediately, Lin Qingqing was full of expectations, just now Mo Yan suggested something from the side, teaching her how to drink tea in the silver cup. Bitter almonds are added to the needle snow top, which is said to be a good material for warming up in autumn. When she was at home, she would often make almond tea for her father, so she twisted two of them and put them in.

Unexpectedly, Duan Zhaoling's expression changed, causing her eyebrows to twitch, and she hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty doesn't like it?"

Only then did Concubine Yi turn her face slowly, she caught a glimpse of the tea cup inadvertently, her pretty face changed suddenly, she hurriedly reached out to take the tea cup, and said coldly, "How can you put almonds in Your Majesty's tea?"

Lin Qingqing didn't know why, so she answered in a soft voice, "The concubine thought that almonds would be warm enough to relieve the hangover, so I put two almonds..."

Concubine Yi shook her head and said, "Sister Lin is really confused, His Majesty has always touched almonds, and once touched almonds, he would develop rashes, and the palace never had apricot trees, how could you not know the taboo, and it seems that you have hurt His Majesty's holy body!"

When Lin Qingqing heard this, she realized that she had violated a taboo. In embarrassment, she hurriedly pulled up her clothes and knelt down, explaining tremblingly, "Your Majesty, forgive me, this concubine didn't mean it... No one has ever mentioned that your majesty does not eat apricots. , I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"My sister is a concubine, but she doesn't know what His Majesty likes or dislikes, she is indeed at fault." Concubine Yi persuaded earnestly, but Duan Zhaoling finally waved his hand, calmed his complexion slightly, and said, "Tear off this tea, I am not thirsty right now."

Lin Qingqing stood up with lingering fear, seeing Duan Zhaoling's turning cold expression, felt wronged but could not express it, just sat quietly by the side, secretly saddened.

Duan Zhaoling has watched singing and dancing for more than two hours, and now he has lost his patience, and after the trouble just now, his heart is not very happy.

His Highness's next qin sound was high, and he suddenly heard a faint melodious flute sound, and he suffocated, deliberately catching the seemingly invisible rhythm.

Amidst the scattered sounds of the zither, the sound of the flute became more and more repetitive, which made him forget to play music around him.

After careful identification, Duan Zhaoling was intoxicated, and the faint sound of the flute was playing Concubine Rong's favorite song "Jade Snow Flying Flowers".

Once the sea was too difficult for water, once Concubine Rong left, the six palaces would no longer hear the flute music.

"I'm a little tired, go back to the palace to rest first, you guys want to enjoy the fun, don't need to accompany you." Duan Zhaoling got up suddenly, Concubine Yi knew his temper, so she was not surprised, but Lin Qingqing didn't know the reason, thinking that her family had offended His Majesty just now, and felt in her heart Painful, he had no choice but to watch the slender and handsome figure leave.

Concubine Yi suddenly turned Danfeng's eyes, and said to Lin Qingqing, "I have been sitting for a long time, and my body is very stiff."

Lin Qingqing watched as Mo Yan presented the inch-long jade hammer, handed it to her eyes, then raised her head, Concubine Yi was sitting upright, sipping leisurely, she took the hammer with lowered eyes, "I hope that Concubine Yi Don't dislike your concubine's clumsy hands and feet."

Having a maid but not using them is clearly an insult to her, but so what can Lin Qingqing do, the weak prey on the strong in the palace, she has long understood.

"Mingzhu, did you hear the sound of the flute?" Duan Zhaoling came out of the Yumian Pond and stopped, the sound of the flute was ups and downs, sad and moving.

Cui Shangyi saluted and said, "The servant girl sounds like it came from the eastern palace."

"Look with me, I don't know who can play such a beautiful music." Duan Zhaoling was attracted by the sound of the flute, walked slowly, turned around several palace gates, and the sound of the flute stopped under the red maple wall.

The red wall in the backyard of Lingyan Pavilion is mottled and old. Duan Zhaoling looked up at the red maple tree. When everything was quiet, the sound of the flute suddenly rose again, mellow and continuous. Duan Zhaoling blurted out and asked , "Who lives in Lingyan Pavilion?"

Cui Shangyi looked at His Majesty's expression, and replied, "It is the bedroom of the grounded Su Wanyi."

The charming smile of the girl in scarlet clothes flashed across his mind immediately, Duan Zhaoling only felt the clouds and the fog, and then heard the melodious sound of the flute, he didn't know what it meant.

Cui Shangyi walked slowly to the corner and said, "Look, Your Majesty."

At the corner of the back wall of Lingyan Pavilion, seven feet above the ground, there is a carved stone window. Because of its small size and remote location, it is difficult for people to notice it.

But at this moment, Duan Zhaoling looked through the small window, and caught the woman on the swing.

The red maple is like fire, and the woman under the tree is dressed in white, with hair on her temples like clouds, swaying slightly in the wind.

The beautiful face is focused, the jade flute is held in the hand, and the cherry lips are lightly parted. The long and deep flute sound is flowing slowly.Compared with the present scene, the singing and dancing in Yumian Pond pales in comparison.

Duan Zhaoling was deeply moved by her natural demeanor, following her melody ups and downs, the moment the flute sounded high, he felt as if he was on a cloud, and his thoughts were vague.

A long time ago, the woman who died quietly in the cold palace was like this, and she only blew it for him.And how similar, her favorite song is this "Jade Snow Flying Flowers".

Cui Shangyi and Wang Zhongming saw His Majesty's tall body and intoxicated manner, so they knew his intentions. When the sound of the flute ended, Wang Zhongming stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you need this old slave to go in and report?"

Duan Zhaoling was still immersed in the past, Wang Zhongming said it again, he turned his head, and the girl on the swing jumped lightly, landed lightly, looked back at the servant girl and smiled lightly, bright and scorching.

The servant girl helped her back to the room, and before the figure faded away, she could only vaguely hear her say, "I like this swing very much, but the rope is a bit old, and it hurts my palms..."

"No need, just let her rest at ease." Duan Zhaoling waved his sleeves and turned around. Wang Zhongming and Cui Shangyi couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so they had to follow behind.

After walking a few steps, Duan Zhaoling gestured lightly and said, "Send a bottle of curd lotion ointment to Lingyan Pavilion at night, and ask for the newly prepared one from the Imperial Hospital."

"I've made a note, this old slave." Wang Zhongming received the decree, and then Cui Shangyi and Duan Zhaoling entered the Kunyuan Hall together.

Back in the room, Lan Ruo hastily closed the door, and sighed, "Fortunately, the lady told me before, when I was pushing the swing, the servant seemed to have seen Cui Shangyi outside..."

"I have my own plan, you just need to do as I tell you." Su Yan had already caught a glimpse of Duan Zhaoling and his party from the corner of her eye, so she knew that her plan was right, and she also knew that he would never show up in the palace.

The daily meals are very simple, as is the case in the palace, once there is no favor, the cost of the regular money will be reduced, even if there is no order from above, the palace gatekeepers have already seen the direction of the wind and deducted layer upon layer.

Lan Ruo had scolded Ruyun Yitong at first, but Ruyun was also very wronged, saying that the maid in the dining room only allocated these things to Lingyan Pavilion, and she couldn't make the decision.

After a few days, Lan Ruo finally understood the depth, so she could only swallow the words in her stomach, often muttering in private, that when her young lady is favored, she will definitely get rid of these slaves who look down on others.

The banquet was torn down at night, but Sang Yu hurried in, and said with joy on his face, "My lord, the prince of Kunyuan Hall is here!"

Su Yan involuntarily curled her lips into a faint smile, rolled her eyes, and then slowly put down the scroll in her hand. Seemingly dazed for a moment, she saw Sang Yu's brows relaxed, and then suddenly realized, "You mean your Majesty sent someone?"

Sang Yu nodded, Su Yan hurriedly put on her coat, and she didn't forget to take a picture in front of the bronze mirror, she came out of the hall lightly like a butterfly.

It was not the first time Wang Zhongming saw her, so he saluted slightly, waved his sleeves, and the little servant behind him brought up a dragon-patterned glazed jade plate with his eyebrows raised, it was an imperial utensil rewarded by the emperor, and it was suitable for Concubine Yi, Concubine Jing, etc. The concubine used a different reward.

"Your Majesty taught the old servant to send Su Wanyi a bottle of creamy hibiscus ointment, and asked if the young master's hand injury has healed?"

Su Yan subconsciously taught the little hand to shake, and blurted out with surprise and joy, "How does Your Majesty know that my hand is injured?"

Sang Yu tilted her head slightly at her, stepped forward to take the jade bottle, Wang Zhongming smiled in a low voice, and said, "Your Majesty is concerned about the young master, so you will know."

Su Yan has been restrained for a long time, but now she is rewarded suddenly, her joy is unspeakable, and her smile becomes more and more charming, "If you have trouble, father-in-law report back to His Majesty, just say that the concubine should not worry about minor injuries!"
