Song Erhuai lowered her eyes, "although the German imperial concubine and her aunt covered up this matter, I know in my heart. When she saw me, she thought of something else. She showed such a surprised expression."
"That's right." Ding YuYan's face was dignified. "The emperor was surprised when he saw you. It took a long time to react." she stabbed her with her elbow. With a smile, he said, "isn't it because you look so good that the emperor and the German imperial concubine, as well as the female officials around them, are stunned?"
"How could it be?" Song Erhua flushed his cheeks and bit his lips. "I don't think I'm as good-looking as talented people and instrument talented people. How can the emperor be stunned."
Ding Yuyan smiled and joked, "don't be shy. I'm just talking and playing. But your eyes are beautiful."
Song Erhuai nodded slightly. "Thank you for your talent."
"But I still don't know why Princess de has that expression. Do you think you've met an acquaintance?" Ding Yuyan thought it was very possible. "Do you have sisters or something?"
Song Erhuai shook his head blankly. "No, there are only three brothers at home. I'm the youngest."
"So it is," Ding Yuyan said nothing when she saw her. Then he said with a smile, "when you go to Zhongcui palace to greet you today, will you think that Yicai people are a little difficult to get along with?"
Song Erhuai felt the back of his head unnaturally and hesitated: "in fact, when I was a xiunv, I thought she was a little overbearing and unforgiving. But she was the daughter of Lord Huang. She must be a little delicate. I hope others will let herself do everything."
Ding Yuyan sighed leisurely, "you are very kind, but I don't know she doesn't like you very much."
"In fact, I can still see," song Erhuai looked at her awkwardly, "but we are so far apart that we can't be involved together. If only all our concubines were like sincere talents."
Ding Yuyan looked at her with a smile. "Are you afraid to stay in the palace alone? I see you're still a beauty. There are few palace maids in the palace. It's dark everywhere."
Song Erhuai nodded hard and looked at her tentatively, "then... Can talented people stay here for a while? I'm really afraid. The wind outside is blowing the locust tree, like a ghost."
"If you're afraid, I'll stay in Yanyi palace with you tonight," Ding Yuyan said with a kind smile. "You won't dislike me staying here. After all, the Emperor gave you a palace to live alone."
Song Erhuai happily took her hand. "No, you can stay here tonight. I'll read to you."
Ding Yuyan blinked. "Then you should read it well, or I'll sleep over accidentally."
Ding Yuyan felt uncomfortable in the morning. She only drank two mouthfuls of porridge and went out for a ride. The temperature has dropped a lot recently. There has been a light rain. The weather is not so unbearable hot.
The air was filled with moisture and a faint fragrance of flowers. She gently sniffed a breath and saw Huang Ling coming with a happy face. She could not hide her joy from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"Look how happy you are," Ding Yuyan glanced at her, "the emperor has rested with you for several days. It can be regarded as an exclusive rain and dew."
"It's only a few days," Huang Ling blinked mischievously. "Aren't you blaming me?"
Ding Yuyan said coldly, "what's the use of blaming you? If I blame you, the emperor will go to me. You'd better enjoy the emperor's grace. Maybe it will be the first of us to be pregnant with the prince."
"It's only a few days. You're urging me to have a baby," Huang Ling said with a trace of sadness. "Do you think this favor will come quickly and will retreat quickly?"
"How can I know that I'm not the most popular imperial concubine in the palace," Ding Yuyan cut off a lily of the valley with a low eyebrow, "but no woman can spend a hundred days, and it's most important to have her own children. You should also pay attention. Don't go to others when the emperor goes, you can only be secretly sad in the palace."
"No, it's still early," Huang Ling turned her eyes and whispered, "I wonder why the emperor doesn't go to Yanyi palace. Isn't he most interested in good beauty?"
Ding YuYan's heart stagnated and said in a dumb voice, "I don't know. Who can say the emperor's things accurately, but I haven't seen a good beauty for a few days. I don't know what she's doing."
Huang Ling smiled disdainfully. "It's best if she doesn't come out. I'm afraid she's late again to lead the emperor, but I haven't seen empress Rufei very much. Isn't there any Qifei minjieyu? Why can't I see any of them."
"I didn't see it either. It's strange that I don't have to greet the new imperial concubine," Ding Yuyan thought. "Imperial concubine Qi and min Jieyu are in Penglai hall. They are still a long way from us. Maybe they don't see much."
Huang Ling pushed her shoulder. "Isn't the side hall where you used to live where min Jieyu lived? Did min Jieyu offend the German imperial concubine, so she moved away?"
"That's not true, but when the German imperial concubine mentioned minjieyu, there was no strange expression on her face. Maybe she just moved there," Ding Yuyan walked around holding lily of the valley. "Minjieyu entered the palace earlier than us. Why is it just Jieyu's position."
"No, it's just because she's not favored. No one can blame her. She doesn't work hard," Huang Ling looked at her with a smile. "But you should work hard. Don't live in the place where min Jieyu lived. It's contaminated with her mildew."
"You'd better take care of your mouth," Ding Yuyan gave her a white look. "If others hear it, it's the Secretary of Shenxing's invitation."
Huang Ling smiled carelessly and said, "don't straighten these empty rules. The emperor's favor is more important than anything. The old people in the palace know how Rufei was favored in the past. Later, Princess de entered the palace. Coupled with her own carelessness, she didn't fall into today's field."
Ding Yuyan silently lowered her eyes and didn't want to see her face full of spring and complacency.
"But it still takes some Kung Fu to get the emperor's favor," a hint of provocation flashed in Huang Ling's eyes. "Do you think you have this ability?"
Ding Yuyan sneered: "you just accept the favor for a few days. Don't be so happy. The end of relying on the favor and arrogance is very tragic. I don't think you can afford it in the future."
Huang Ling responded without fear: "you speak well now. Who will it be when you see that there is no charcoal fire in winter?"
"Shen Jieyu is still a soft person. She dares to teach you such a person," said Ding Yuyan with a faint smile. "You have accepted the favor of so many days, and you don't have to think about it for Jieyu. It's really crossing the river and tearing down the bridge."
"It depends on her ability. Jie Yu must not care," Huang Ling raised her eyebrows. "Besides, she doesn't play the flute very well. Otherwise, why does the emperor only come to Shuyu hall to listen to me play the piano instead of letting her play the flute? It can be seen that it's her own business and has nothing to do with me."
"That's right, but don't let Shen Jieyu hear it," Ding Yuyan half narrowed her eyes. "Teach such an apprentice, or she will regret her intestines."
"I'm not afraid to hear it. You don't have to call me any more about the good beauty," said Huang Ling with a sharp look like the tip of a knife. "You use me as a stick and make yourself a Bodhisattva. Don't you think I don't know."
Ding Yuyan said calmly, "you are very happy now. You will know the power of others in the future."
Huang Ling glanced at her proudly, "wait for you."
Luo Ninghai picked flowers to make sachets in the small garden in the morning. When he saw Xue ronghua coming back from the outside, he had a forbearing smile on his lips. He asked, "what are you supporting in death? Tell me any jokes. Don't steal music behind you."
Xue ronghua covered his mouth and said with a smile, "when I came here just now, I saw the sincere talent and the instrument talent."
Luo Ninghai turned his eyes and said coldly, "what's funny? Did they tear their hair on the side of the road and just be seen by you?"
"They are all women in the palace. Why do they tear their hair?" Xue ronghua took the flower branch in her hand. "The two little masters are bickering. How lively are you?"
"The two of them are the same generation. Naturally, they can make a fuss," Luo Ninghai snorted coldly. "Like when I first entered the palace, I had to listen to Su Rushuang's teaching. I couldn't return a word. I finally gave birth to a pair of children. It's very happy to be on an equal footing with her and have the confidence to be angry with her."
Xue ronghua continued: "the talented person has been favored by the emperor recently. He looks arrogant because of his favor. In his words, he satirizes Shen Jieyu and Rufei, and takes min Jieyu with him. She feels like a storyteller and comments on the whole harem."
"That's why she's not good. Bad women in the palace are the most dangerous," Luo Ninghai narrowed his eyes. "There are only one concubine with sharp teeth, minjieyu. Now I'm afraid this one can't become the climate."
"What my mother said is," Xue ronghua nodded slightly, "but I'm not going to help her because I haven't slept yet."
"She is calm and patient. The palace doesn't have to worry about her. The earlier the flowers bloom, the sooner they thank. It's better to bloom in front of the emperor later," Luo Ninghai took out two complete white orchids from the flower filled veil. "The palace looks at her and likes to insert flowers in her bun. I'll send them to her palace."
"My mother doesn't intend to do anything to talented people?"
"The palace is still a little interested in that good beauty. Just let her make trouble," Luo Ninghai glanced at her coldly. "It's better to take care of Huayang palace than staring at the things of Shuyu hall."
Xue ronghua was stunned and opened his eyes. "Isn't it what Rufei is doing again?"
"I didn't do anything. God gave her a more terrible thing," Luo Ninghai sat back in his chair and caressed the flowers carelessly. "Do you know she was pregnant with a dragon fetus?"
"Impossible," Xue ronghua subconsciously refused to believe it. "How could the emperor make her pregnant? She can't conceive a child. How did chengchong have a child for so many years? Should she see that the emperor ignored her and come up with some crooked tricks to attract the emperor's attention?"
Luo Ninghai listened to her asking these questions one after another and said softly, "it's true. The palace dragged the imperial doctor who served her to the Department of punishment for direct interrogation. The imperial doctor lost half his life and went home to die."
Xue ronghua looked at her icy eyes and bit his lips; "This... How did she conceive the child?"
