Chapter 14: Flirting with a dance feeling your love

"I love concubine, your literary talent is outstanding, why not make a poem on this lotus." His voice was peaceful, "I like the two poems you wrote a few days ago, but the following ones are not yet available. Are you thinking about it?"

Concubine Liu's voice was a little unnatural, "The emperor made fun of his concubines. I have been a little tired these days, so I didn't think about it for a while."

"The lotus is burning, and the pavilion comes out of the water. A lone stem is green, and the two shadows share red. The color is beautiful, the face is beautiful, and the clothes are fragrant. The famous lotus is self-sufficient, but I hope that the two hearts are the same."

Wang Yu's voice sounded, so casual. However, I clearly saw his gaze toward the bamboo forest.

My heart jumped sharply, and my breathing became a little quick. Haoyue looked at me in a puzzled manner and pressed my hand.

She thought I was afraid of being discovered, but she didn't know that it was actually the phrase "but hope that two hearts are the same" that made me think a little bit. I tried to calm down, telling myself that it was just a poem, and it was just a poem for the occasion, with no other meaning.

"Xihe's poem is still so good." Emperor Zhangxuan's voice sounded, "Do you think about Aifei?"

I became anxious in my heart, seeing the eyes of a few women randomly sweeping across the bamboo forest, if it was discovered at this time, then...

"By the way, what are you looking for?" Taking advantage of those women's pity, the emperor turned around and asked King Yu.

"It's the platoon map submitted by the Ministry of War today. The minister sees that there are still some problems and wants to discuss with the emperor brother." Wang Yu said respectfully.

"Really? I look a little wrong. Now that you have an idea, let's go to the Imperial Study Room together now."

After speaking, the emperor looked at Concubine Liu, "You are pregnant, or go back to recuperate earlier. It has been a long time since you came out today." As he spoke, he turned and left, and a group of women followed the emperor.

With a sigh of relief in my heart, I watched those people drifting away from the bamboo forest. Haoyue was busy tidying up the hem of my skirt, there were already some wrinkles.

"Miss, let's go back now."

I nodded, stretched my hand into my sleeve, touched a hard object, my heart trembled, but still pulled Haoyue back to the palace calmly.

There was a sharp turn at the entrance of the Jiuqu Promenade, and I walked a little fast. I turned abruptly but saw a few figures not far away, and hurriedly retreated behind a big rock at the turn.

The head of the two women, one is Concubine Liu, wearing a light pink gauze skirt, the belly is slightly visible, and they did not wear too much jewelry, just a step, a few hairpins, but also beautiful and beautiful People, weak Liu Fufeng.

The other is different. The length is extraordinarily bright. Wearing a pink palace brocade dress with tufts of peonies embroidered with gold and silver threads, plus complicated buns and gorgeous jewelry, the whole person is very rich. , As dazzling as a blooming peony.

However, in this late spring season, it is still more fashionable to dress up.

"The emperor praised his sister's poem just now. My sister would like to read it." The bright woman said with a smile, but it was implied.

"Sister Li Fei joked, the emperor is absurd." Liu Fei hid her mouth and laughed.

I knew in my heart that this woman seemed to be the other favorite concubine of the emperor-Li Fei of Xinghui Palace, she really deserved the word "li".

Only Li Fei can compete with Concubine Liu in this harem. Rumor has it that Concubine from Paixue Palace is also favored by the emperor, but she rarely competes with the two in front of her.

"My younger sister is laughing. My younger sister has gained a reputation before entering the palace, and she has outstanding literary talent. I am different from my sister. My father has never asked any master to teach. But our emperor likes this talented woman, sister I think I don't have a deep understanding of this poem, and I hope my sister can enlighten me." Li Fei said, and she looked at Concubine Liu with a pair of winking eyes.

Concubine Liu smiled, "Sister, do you believe it? It's all a false name. It's just a sentence of'Qingyin Pavilion, light rain, the courtyard is open daytime.' The emperor also said casually, what's so brilliant about this?"

I was shocked. Isn't this the poem I wrote on Xue Tao's signature some time ago and was lost by Haoyue? Haoyue also looked up at me in surprise, as if she had something to say.

I shook my head slightly, motioned her not to make a noise, and then looked over there.

I saw Li Fei took the hand of a court lady next to her, and after two steps she looked back, "Sister, the elder sister doesn't understand poetry, it sounds good. But..." She smiled, "I always say that this poem is It was written by the scene and finished in one go. Why is there only half of this story for my sister? However, I really don’t understand my sister. Don’t laugh at my sister.

The corners of Li Fei’s mouth were bent into a nice arc, but her eyes were directed at Concubine Liu, “I heard that my sister actually doesn’t like magnolia, so how can there be a cherished jasper magnolia hairpin? She happened to be picked up by the emperor. ."

Concubine Liu's face changed a little, and she was about to speak, Li Fei said again: "Sister, my sister is going back to the palace first, and I am a little tired today. My sister should go back soon too. Didn't the emperor also say that I want you to live and rest?" , Followed by a group of palace ladies and walked away.

Concubine Liu hung a smile and said, "Sister, go slowly." But the moment Li Fei turned around, she immediately collapsed.

I know that, after all, Li Fei entered the palace earlier than her, and the emperor loved it very much. The family's position in the court was slightly better than Liu Fei, so Liu Fei was more polite to Li Fei. However, this concubine Li's temperament is too... but it just happened to suppress some Concubine Liu. This harem is still balanced.

I thought, shook my head and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Who is here?" A voice sounded.

My heart was broken, my laughter must have been heard.

In a blink of an eye, a woman in a light purple palace dress stood in front of me, eyes full of sternness, but when she saw my face she turned into surprise.

I smiled to myself, it seemed that I couldn't escape today. He took care of the skirt, and walked out slowly.

Concubine Liu was already sitting on the top of the beauty, and she looked a little tired. After all, she is a pregnant woman and should not be tired. Besides, Concubine Li must have made her unhappy just now.

I stood quietly in front of Concubine Liu, thinking, I am afraid that Concubine Liu's unpleasantness is not just Li Fei's. After all, even if I am not favored, I am still a queen and the only daughter of the Ling family.

Haoyue stepped forward and carefully bowed to Concubine Liu, "I have seen Concubine Liu."

Concubine Liu raised her head and glanced at her, her eyes fell on me, her mouth opened slightly, her eyes widened, and she looked incredulous.

"Bold, you won't be polite when you meet the empress?" A court lady beside Concubine Liu shouted to me.

I smiled slightly and looked at Concubine Liu carefully. She is indeed very beautiful, with tenderness in the bright and beautiful, she is a beautiful country.

Concubine Liu also looked at me carefully, her eyebrows wrinkled, maybe it was my impoliteness that made her unhappy. She was full of anger, and the anger she received at Li Fei's just now was probably going to be cast on me, a person who "does not understand the rules."

I smiled, "Concubine Liu looks pretty good."

Concubine Liu was taken aback and looked at me carefully, her eyes filled with puzzlement, "Who are you, how dare you talk to my palace like this! Scary, give me your hand." She glared.

The purple-clothed palace lady stepped forward, raised her hand and was about to drop, Haoyue grabbed it and threw it away abruptly, then stood in front of me and said sharply to Concubine Liu: "You are bold!"

Concubine Liu's face flushed suddenly, and her body was trembling slightly. Her big eyes stared at me in astonishment. I'm afraid she never thought that anyone would dare to be so "irrational" to her.

I smiled and gathered the silk flowers on my clothes, and said: "Liu Concubine, if you don't recognize me at the first time, you will save your disrespect."

Concubine Liu's face suddenly turned pale. I could tell from the look in her eyes that she had guessed who I was, but those eyes still looked at me sharply, unwilling to believe it.

Haoyue said to the court ladies behind her in a very peaceful tone: "Hurry up and salute the empress!"

And of course this was for Concubine Liu.

The court ladies Xu was frightened. They looked at Concubine Liu and looked at me again. They seemed to be unbelievable, so they stood and dared not move.

I still look calm and relaxed, with a calm smile. After all, I am a queen, even if, not to be favored. Even though, in front of him is Shen Xiyao's favorite concubine. However, my identity, my family and my pride tell me not to show weakness.

Concubine Liu kept watching me, and there was something in her eyes that I couldn't understand. After a while, she seemed to calm down and looked at me coldly, "How do you prove that you are the queen?"

I glanced at Haoyue, Haoyue steadily stepped forward and handed her waist badge. The purple wooden sign was written in crimson color-"Kunning Palace Maid Haoyue".

This maid is the personal servant of the masters of the palaces, and the status is higher than the other servants.

Concubine Liu took it and looked at it. The hand holding the cards trembled slightly, staring at me coldly, "This doesn't prove that you are the queen!"

Seeing her unwillingness, I sighed deliberately, and took off the jade pendant from the skirt of her body. It was sent by the Ministry of Gifts when she was hired. It was made of the finest Hetian sheep fat white jade with fine engraving The dragon and phoenix are auspicious patterns, and there is a line of small characters "Emperor Daxi Pei".

Concubine Liu stretched out her hand to take it, I gently retracted, and the white jade dragon and phoenix pendant drew an arc in the air and returned to my hand. Presumably Concubine Liu had already seen clearly, this kind of object, as long as you glance at it, you can know who it belongs to.

She bit her lip tightly, glared at me fiercely with those apricot eyes, and then gave me a salute, "I have seen the queen, and it is inconvenient for her concubine to be pregnant.

"Forget it." I smiled faintly, "Liu Concubine, when I first met, you are pregnant. This palace is going to give you some gifts, but you don't like that son and grandson. Let's do it, the former emperor. Speaking of the next sentence of the poem, I'll tell you. It's not a courtesy, but you still remember it. The next sentence is'Sit and watch the green moss, and I want to wear human clothes'." After that, he turned and left.

Concubine Liu stood there, murmured: "She is actually a queen, that is actually her poem..."
