Fengming Emperor Pavilion

Chapter 30
Seeing that she had gone far away, Donghua's figure quickly disappeared into the woods of kapok. He stood there quietly, standing tall and clear. The hair fluttered with the wind, but it carried a thin and cool breath.

The white brocade clothes are spotless, with a beautiful silhouette. The assistant is there far away, like a person who has fallen into the mortal world. I can't see it even if I look closely.

Donghua paced slowly, and the few fallen flowers on the ground were picked up by his steps and danced around his feet.

Seeing the kapoks flying all over the ground, Donghua gradually fell into contemplation. When she entered the palace to accompany the queen mother, she was still a small child, with immature and innocent eyes, her eyes were indifferent, and she seemed to be afraid of the strangers around her , Strange affairs, but when you take a closer look, you will find that she just doesn't want to talk, just pretending to be silent.

At that time, he was just a teenager, but by chance he became interested in the children around the queen mother.

But he just thought it was interesting and didn't take it to heart. He was just a bright young man back then. The former emperor got a son and spoiled him in every possible way. His mother and concubine loved him. At a young age, he had his own mansion , has his own guards, everything proves that he is one of the rare lucky ones in this palace.

That afternoon, it was the day when he entered the palace to pay his respects. Before paying his respects, he saw Hualou holding fish food and feeding the fish in the pond in front of Weiyang Palace. It was very interesting.

She took a few grains, and a group of fish looted them and ate them up. After a while, she sprinkled a few more grains and looted them together again. He looked at her thoughtfully, as if every time she saw the fish The corners of the mouth will rise slightly when grabbing food.

Donghua thought to herself, what a scheming little girl, she knew how to use tricks to fight for what she wanted at a young age.

He frowned and closed his eyes, feeling displeased, he really didn't like people who were full of calculations.

But Donghua still doesn't understand why he can stand behind her and watch her feed the fish for an hour when he is unhappy.

Later, he finally got an answer.

"Why don't you just pour it all in?" Donghua, who was standing behind him, asked.

Hualou turned around slowly, and saw Donghua standing behind him jump, slipped his foot, and almost fell into the water. He grabbed Hualou's hand quickly, but he tripped over the corners and fell into the water. Although the two did not fall into the pool, they fell to the ground beside them.

His thin lips fell on her tender skin. He grew up in the palace, and before he reached the age, there would be old people in the palace talking about those men and women. He hadn't read many books. At least, the mother and concubine said that year, the girl in the imperial capital can be chosen by him after he comes of age.

The emperor brothers are surrounded by beauties, and so is the father, but he is the only one who is not interested in many rouge and vulgar fans.

But that day, the day his lips fell on Shen Hualou's cheek, his heart almost jumped out.

Hua Lou stared at a pair of round eyes, and slapped him on the face, pushed her away and got up, patted the ashes on his body, and looked around to see if there was anyone.

"Where did the apprentice come from?"

"No one in this palace dares to say that the emperor... the young master is a disciple!" He looked at her swollen face, quite amused, she was really an interesting little girl.

Unexpectedly, Hualou glared at him, and said disdainfully: "Whose rich young master is this, running around, be careful of the empress dowager's stick."

He frowned slightly, with a smile on his lips, and then asked: "You haven't answered my question yet."

"You'll know when you rob like them." After finishing speaking, he trotted away. He found out later that this was the fourth young lady of the Shen family. Because her mother died early, she was alone, by chance. The queen mother was pleased and brought it back.

His face turned dark when the little figure disappeared, as if he was also a fish in this pond, is he at the mercy of others?

At that time, Donghua didn't know that when one day you gave your whole heart out, others could pinch it as they wanted, chop it into pieces as they wanted, but he still loved it.

Then the painting building left, he looked up at the sun, suddenly surprised, it has been an hour, and hurried to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

As soon as he arrived outside the palace, the personal nanny next to the queen mother was about to report. He made a gesture of shush. Wu mama knew that the queen mother doted on him, so she didn't make a sound. He tiptoed in and saw the painting building was sitting In front of the Empress Dowager, she was carefully picking out the tea leaves in the teacup.

I only heard the Queen Mother ask: "Every time I ask the maid to feed the fish, she always comes back quickly. Why do you need you for an hour every day?"

He wanted to step in, but he thought Grandma Huang would be punished when she asked questions like this, and wanted to hear her answer very much.

The clear and clear voice sounded slowly: "I feed slowly."

"why?"

She lowered her eyes and couldn't see the emotion in her eyes clearly, but she couldn't hear the sadness and joy in her words: "If you give it all at once, it won't know how to cherish it, because it is rare, so it is precious."

Donghua seemed to think of something. Sometimes when he passed by there, the pile of fish food inside sank below, already dirty and wasted a lot.

After listening to her words, the Queen Mother gently touched her head and said: "From now on, you will leave it to your aunts to do it. The sun is so strong, and your little body is standing under the sun. What if you suffer from heat stroke?" manage?"

Her small lips burst into a smile, and she picked up the teacup on the side and handed it to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, please use tea."

That year, he was 14 years old, and she was only seven years old.

Donghua's thoughts were awakened by a strange voice: "My subordinates pay homage to the lord!"

"what's up?"

"The housekeeper sent a letter, something happened in the mansion!" In just a moment, in the current Prince An's mansion, there is only one thing that happened, and that was the mysterious person in the East Wing.

Donghua didn't even ask what happened, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

…………

And when Hualou returned to Qingyin Pavilion, a good show was going on, she didn't know what she missed just now.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Qingyin Pavilion, she saw the maid passing the meal, she hurriedly picked it up, serving the meal so she could explain where she was just now, so as not to be questioned by others.

As soon as he walked in, the atmosphere in the cabinet was particularly strange. The old maid standing aside reminded the painting building not to do anything wrong. Someone was upset today. At this moment, a gentle and clear voice came from inside, but this The spoken words are like embroidery needles in the cotton.

"Jiang Guiren likes the meals in the empress's palace so much, then when the empress eats in the future, Jiang Guiren will stand behind and serve you, and you will always have a share of the leftovers."

Hua Lou raised his eyebrows, looked at his aunt at the side, and only heard his aunt say softly: "Jiang Miao is flattering the queen, Concubine Zhou and Concubine Liu are upset."

She narrowed her eyes, and she knew something in her heart. Jiang Miao is the empress's man, so of course she has to flatter her, and Jiang Miao betrayed Concubine Zhou, so Concubine Zhou would not let her go. Slowly walk to the table.

Jiang Miao heard such vicious sarcasm, her chest heaved with anger: "Sister Concubine Liu speaks so softly, my sister is far away from here and can't hear it."

Shen Qingqiang softened her expression and said, "Jiang Miao is a sweet girl at first glance, but seeing how upset I have been recently, she changed her way to say a few thoughtful words, and you too, Concubine Liu. As an older sister, why do you care about what my younger sister said? If you want to talk about the women in the palace, who has never seen the treasures in this world, and Concubine Liu, your eldest brother also tasted a piece of delicacies from Ranxianglou a while ago. Over and over, still lingering, don’t you?”

Ranxianglou is the most famous restaurant in the imperial capital. This sentence is not uncommon at first glance. However, everything in the Liu family is good, but there is a brother who is not good enough, and he is a bit restrained on weekdays. Prostitutes rejoice all night, and being smashed by someone early in the morning is already full of wind and rain in the city.

When Shen Qingqiang said it at this time, Concubine Liu was so angry that she couldn't get angry, and the people around her who knew her were already whispering.

Hua Lou frowned slightly, and slowly put the dishes on, but heard Zhou Wei casually said: "Left and right are eating, it's like eating a cook as an aunt, isn't it? Ladies and gentlemen, it's going to be cold for a while, what's the matter?" They don't even move their chopsticks."

The cook became an aunt, isn't she Shen Qingqiang? Shen Kun went to Loulan to do business and brought back a Loulan woman, a cook. The complexion suddenly changed, and everyone stopped their chopsticks to watch, only Concubine Rong, she sat at the end from the beginning to the end, there are the most small pastries, she loves sweets, so everyone is talking about it, and she is alone. Everyone is eating.

Hua Lou saw her bulging cheeks, and suddenly felt a little cute.

Also at this time, palace maids and eunuchs began to come over to distribute vegetables to the empresses of the palaces. When they arrived at Concubine Rong's place, they filled her with pine nuts and fish sauce. When I looked at the painting building, my mind buzzed, and the strange fragrance in the pastries , pine nut fish sauce, abortion pills!
Hualou was shocked, and just when Concubine Rong was about to feed it into his mouth, Hualou knocked him over: "Your Majesty, you can't eat this."

At this time, Shen Qingqiang was so angry that Zhou Mao had said a word, and she hadn't recovered for a while.

Seeing Hualou's actions again, he shouted softly, "Which palace are you from? What are you doing?"

Hualou just looked at Shen Qingqiang fixedly, her eyes were cold and ghostly, Shen Qingqiang frowned slightly, when she looked carefully, she bowed her head and did not speak for a long time.

Concubine Xian turned her head slowly, and saw Shen Hualou's face, her brows were slightly frowned, and then she curled her lips together: "The Empress is asking a question, raise your head, and answer."

Hualou raised his head slowly, and the whole face came into view. Everyone felt that the eyes were familiar, but when they looked carefully, they seemed to be similar to Shen Qingqiang in some way, and they all gasped.

At this time, Shen Qingqiang was furious, and Shen Hualou could not escape.

"What's your name?" Shen Qingqiang asked sharply.

"Qian Ji."

"Slap your mouth, the empress is asking, don't call yourself a slave, which palace are you from?" Jian Qiu, the eldest palace maid behind Shen Qingqiang, said loudly.

Hua Lou looked up at her, silent.

At this time, Concubine Xian turned around slowly and looked at the painting building and asked: "Why did you overturn the meal of Concubine Rong just now, I heard you say you can't eat it, but what's the problem?"

As soon as Concubine Xian's words came out, all the people put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and looked towards Shen Hualou as if they were facing an enemy.

Hua Lou looked at her and said softly: "If you want to return to the empress, the servant girl only knows a little bit of medical skills. Pregnant women are not allowed to eat food made of hair. There is nothing wrong with the food, but the empress Rong is pregnant with dragons. Si can't eat it, so he lost his composure and shocked all the concubines and servants, who deserve to die!"

As she spoke, she plopped down on her knees, Rong Pin was terrified, but after a while, she turned around and helped up the painting building, Yuechan hurriedly reached out to support her master.

Shen Qingqiang was still angry: "Get up, you won't be able to survive even with a meal." She wanted to mention it, but Zhou Wei refused. The eunuch who served the dishes just now was from Shen Qingqiang's palace. Zhou Wei picked up the iron sword behind him and swung it Just pierced his chest: "You dog slave, what are you doing!"

The blood spattered three feet on the spot, Hua Lou hurriedly covered Rong Pin's eyes, but she didn't even blink, Zhou Qiang drew out the sword, the blood on the sword was still drop by drop.

"Ah~~ah~~ah~~" In just a moment, the faces of these dignified women in front of them suddenly paled, and they screamed again and again. Zhou Wei raised her eyes and looked at Shen Hualou. Her calmness made her Look at it differently.

"Go, take your mother back home, this place is not suitable for her to see." Hualou covered Concubine Rong's eyes, and did not let her see such a scene until she left the palace.

Walking out of Qingyin Pavilion, Rong Pin asked anxiously: "What happened? I saw Sister Zhou draw her sword."

Yuechan was also afraid that her master would be frightened, so she hurriedly said: "It's nothing, Concubine Zhou is just wiping the sword."
