Chapter 47

The next day Zhuang Luoyan took a chariot to the Queen's palace to say hello. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Queen's palace, several low ranking concubines came together. Several people saw Zhuang Luoyan and went forward one after another to say hello. Their attitude was more respectful than before.

"You don't have to be polite. You're all sisters." Zhuang Luoyan stepped down from the chariot and stretched out his hand to help him. People could not see that he was half arrogant, but none of the people present believed that Zhao Chongyi was so kind.

"Sister zhaochongyi takes good care of her sisters, and they can't forget their duty," said the woman standing in the front.

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the woman. She was not very old. Although she was a little beautiful, she was not conspicuous in the back palace. There was something flattering and unspeakable in her words.

"I've seen zhaochongyi."

The voice on her side made Zhuang Luoyan understand why the talented person in front of her said these words. She tilted her mouth slightly, and her voice was more gentle than usual: "Ma Cairen."

Ma Cairen glanced at the maid in waiting for Zhuang Luoyan. She bent her knees and bowed her head. For a moment, she seemed to see the sarcasm in the eyes of other women around her, which made her feel even more embarrassed. However, she had to bear the thought that only one night this woman would let herself fall from Jieyu to a talented person.

"Well, it's late. Let's all go in and greet the empress." Zhuang Luoyan was not so stupid as to give Ma Jieyu a look at the gate of the Queen's palace. She wanted the emperor to think that her mind was pure, not that she was willful and stupid. Who let this world under the men have a common fault, do not want women too clever to master, do not want women too stupid.

Let the woman around you walk by with a sneer and smile. Ma Cairen stands in the same place and lets the cold wind in the morning hurt his cheek.

It's never too early or too late for Princess Shu to go to the Queen's palace. When she was holding the maid's hand to step on the chariot, the corner of her eyes swept the horse talent standing in the corner. With a smile after reading the joke in her mouth, she went into the gate without stopping. Even Ma talent's greeting was not seen.

When she entered the main hall, she specially looked at zhaochongyi, who was sitting on the third seat on the right head. After giving the queen an invitation, she sat down on the first seat on the left side and said with a smile, "today sisters are very early."

None of the people present knew that the elder brother of Lady Shu impeached zhaochongyi's mother's family. Now Lady Shu's light attitude obviously didn't pay attention to zhaochongyi.

Zhuang Luoyan pretended not to know the calculation of the people around him. He lowered his eyelids as if nothing had happened. After all Women in the harem are not allowed to be in politics.

"It's getting colder and colder now. My sisters are still up so early to greet our palace. It's hard for them," the queen said gently at this time. "Heyu, serve hot tea."

Princess Shu sneered in her heart. The queen wanted to see the excitement, but also wanted to see if she would like to play in the play. What is a full instrument? The real Millennium fox is sitting at the top.

The tea presented by the palace maids is the new tea from Dianzhong province. The concubines with low status can't even get the tea ends. The empress uses it to treat guests, but she doesn't know whether it's with ulterior motives or it's really generous.

"Lady, the tea here is really fragrant." The virtuous imperial concubine sipped a cup of tea, full of praise.

Zhuang Luoyan blew the tea foam on the surface of the water. He watched the tea stalk floating in the water and bent his mouth. The virtuous imperial concubine had always been in the same vein with the queen. The flattery was just like the truth. Although the tea is precious, it's not unusual. Is it difficult for the virtuous imperial concubine's palace to achieve anything?

"You always love tea. Let Heyu send some to you tomorrow, so that you won't miss our palace all day long." The queen did not hide her closeness to the virtuous concubines, but turned to Zhuang Luoyan.

"I heard that Ma Cairen contradicted Zhao Chongyi yesterday. He has asked the palace to stop her salary for half a year. You have always been kind-hearted. You don't have to worry about her and lose your identity." The queen wiped the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief and said with a smile again: "although you are all sisters here, you can't avoid some rules. It's a taboo in the harem to be arrogant in favor of others. The behavior of Ma Cairen yesterday is absolutely undesirable. You should also remember it."

Pride in favor?

Where did Ma Cairen come from?

The hearts of all the concubines are like a mirror. Where did the queen say this to Ma Cairen? Who could she say it to. In my heart, though I think so, many people even said that no one went to look at the pale Ma Cairen in the corner.

Zhuang Luoyan sighed for the Queen's behavior of inviting hatred value to herself. In this words, it was said that Ma Cairen was the master of the harem, but in the words, she was accused of being flattered and arrogant. As for reminding everyone not to violate the following rules, it was just different opinions. Anyway, the queen was the master of the harem, and no one was above her except the emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager has rarely appeared in the harem since the last thunder cleavage incident, so she has not been invited by the public as usual, so the necessary work of the day is over when she comes out of the Queen's palace.

"Sister zhaochongyi was wronged yesterday." Lady Shu held the maid's hand and said with a smile, "there is a hundred year old ginseng in our palace. I'll send it to you to replenish your qi and blood."

"Thank you for your love. The emperor and the empress love you very much. I'm not wronged." Zhuang Luoyan bowed his knees to thank him and sneered in his heart. He was afraid that the more he ate, the more he became angry."It's good to have the emperor's favor," she sighed and sat on the chariot. "But some flowers are just like fireworks at night. They are gorgeous when they are in full bloom, but they are silent when they are withering. Sister zhaochongyi, don't you think so?" With that, she gently raised her hand and steadily raised her step chariot. Lady Shu closed her eyes and didn't look at the women kneeling behind her.

Zhuang Luoyan stood up straight with Tingzhu's hand, looking at the direction of Princess Shu's departure, looking at the grand Imperial Guard of honor, and slightly lowered his eyelids.

Listen to bamboo worry to see to own master, but see her mouth a smile, heart inexplicably cool.

In the cold season, there are only withered lotus left in the lotus pool. Zhuang Luoyan stood by the lotus pool, looked at the residual stems in the water, refused the cape presented by Yunxi, sat down on the stone bench, pointed to the water and said, "this lotus pool is beautiful in summer, but it's just so in winter."

Yunxi laughed and said, "master, although the lotus can't bloom all the year round, it's more and more beautiful every year. Tomorrow my servant will ask someone to clean up the broken leaves and stems, and the next year will be more beautiful than this year."

"Also, although the flower is clear and beautiful when it is in full bloom, fortunately it's not a delicate flower. It's better not to be too delicate." Zhuang Luoyan sighed in his heart. I'm afraid that the delicate flowers will never bloom again after a season in this palace.

"I have seen Zhao Chongyi."

Zhuang Luoyan heard that someone had asked for his own greetings. Looking back, he saw that she was a familiar woman. She was older than herself and didn't look like a high-ranking concubine. She was a little strange. What was the purpose of this man's coming to ask for his own greetings?

"Kong Cai Ren doesn't have to be polite," says Yun Xiji. She and Tingzhu are proud of Zhao Chongyi's side, so reaching out to help Kong Cai Ren shows Zhuang Luoyan's courtesy to her.

Yunxi opened the mouth, and Zhuang Luoyan remembered who the Kong talent was. The third prince was gone that night, the Kong talent begged hard for most of the night, and she didn't see the last look of the third prince. Instead, she was punished by the emperor for three hours. She remembered that when she left that night, the Kong talent's eyes were very quiet, but now she couldn't see the madness of that night It's very peaceful.

"Xie Zhaochong." Kong Cairen was only twenty years old. He was just the right age in later generations. Even now, he was only the same age as Princess Shu. But Zhuang Luoyan could not see half of the vitality in her eyes. She was dull and pale.

Kong Cairen stood up and said, "I thought this pool was dry and no one would come. I didn't want to disturb Zhaochong yiyaxing."

"Even the withered lotus has its unique beauty. Kong Cai Ren is an elegant person, but I've spared your interest." Zhuang Luoyan didn't care about a smile, motioned Kong Cairen to sit down on another stone bench.

Kong Cairen sat down on the cushioned stone bench, and his eyes swept over Zhao Chongyi's face with a gentle smile. This is also a legend of salted fish turning over in the harem. Originally forgotten by the emperor, the Queen disliked him, but he never thought about it, but regained his favor. Even Yan guipin, who was in the limelight, was not as good as Yan guipin. She heard that Zhao Chongyi was beautiful, but she lost her favor because of her arrogance. Now it seems that the rumors are not true.

"Zhaochongyi knows the beauty of the withered lotus. My concubine thinks zhaochongyi is also an elegant person," Kong Cairen's eyes wandered and fell on the withered leaves on the water. "My concubine is a layman, but my sister likes cool things. I just look at her for a few times."

Zhuang Luoyan didn't think that Kong Cairen suddenly mentioned her sister. She was slightly surprised: "your sister has a good relationship."

Hearing this, Kong Cairen said with a smile, "concubines and sisters are compatriots of the same mother. When the emperor was still the Lord, he was sent to the house by his father. His mother was born humble and was a concubine's wife. The emperor pitied his concubines and sisters and had to be granted a talent. Only when his mother died could he enter the clan tomb..." After a pause, she seemed to think of something. She said with a bitter smile, "my concubine lost her instrument, and she said this in front of Zhao Chongyi."

Zhuang Luoyan thought of the emperor's indifference to Kong Cairen that night. He understood the meaning of Kong Cairen's bitter smile and said with a smile, "it's all right. If you speak some personal words between your sisters, you will not lose your grace."

The woman in front of him was dignified and magnanimous, and with some unspeakable beauty, Kong Cai's heart trembled. With such a gesture, it's no wonder that he regained his sacred favor and wanted to speak. Then he heard three applause not far away.

Holy driver?!

Kong Cairen was surprised. She got up and knelt down. She didn't dare to lift her head. As the footsteps came closer, she saw a pair of bright yellow shoes not far to her left.

"How is Tian Han's concubine here? If she is cold, what should she do?" The emperor's voice is very gentle, so gentle that it's not true. Even when she just entered the palace to accept the emperor's favor, she never heard the emperor speak to her in such a tone.

"I'm not so delicate. Is it hard for the emperor to treat my concubine as an untouchable flower?"

"I'm very happy that my concubine has a delicate flower, but not a delicate flower."

It turns out that the emperor is so easygoing, and there are a few concubines who dare to talk to the emperor like this. Is Zhao Chongyi really ignorant or forgetting his duty by virtue of his holy favor.

"Since you like lotus, I have a jade lotus there. Let Gao Dezhong take it to Xihe palace, so that you won't sit in front of the withered lotus in the cold." Feng Jin reached out to hold a pair of catkins in front of him. The cool temperature made him frown, and he didn't let go. He turned to look at Kong Cairen who was bending over. His tone was flat and said, "you step down. I have Zhao Chongyi here to serve you.""I'm leaving." Kong Cairen dropped her head and stepped down to a rockery. Through the gap of the rockery, she saw the emperor pulled his sleeve by zhaochongyi. The tassel on the crown of the emperor shook because of this action.
