Chapter 195
The warm wind brings warmth, and now the gardens in the palace are thriving, with many flowers blooming, and the wind is blowing out fragrance, competing for splendor.Accompanied by the embellishment of fountains, lakes and rockeries everywhere, it is beautiful and elegant.The concubines of all the palaces also like to come out and walk around in this season full of vitality. The original heavy and rich brocade has gradually become the material of silk gauze, and the light and light colors reflect the blooming flowers in the palace. cute and charming.

"Master, look, that guard is over there again!" Xia Han giggled, and said to Han Yun who was leading Xia Lan to collect fresh peach petals in the small garden. It seems that she didn't hear Xia Han's words, "The rouge cream made from the juice squeezed from the peach petals is fragrant and colorful, very good!" She said to Xia Lan who was holding a small flower basket.Seeing that the master was not interested, Xia Han muttered a few words, and ran to the garden to help with her skirt.About half an hour later, the flower basket was already full, and the sun was shining brightly, making people's eyes bloom, "Master, it's almost finished today, let's go back." Seeing Han Yun's face, Xia Lan With a trace of fatigue, he said thoughtfully.Han Yun covered her forehead with a handkerchief, looked into the distance, and nodded: "Forget it, I'm a little tired too." Just as she was about to turn around, she caught a glimpse of the vast Taiye from the corner of her eye through the many pavilions. Under the shade of the willows by the pool, Mi Hun, who was wearing a dark crimson brocade gown with gold trim, had handsome and handsome features, he was still there!His heart twitched involuntarily, and he let out a low sigh.Xia Han glanced at Han Yun inexplicably, there was too much sadness in her beautiful eyes, as the emperor's new favorite, shouldn't the master be the happiest?

At dusk, the sky is golden and fiery red.The noble concubine was leaning on the phoenix couch with her Persian cat in her arms, staring at an exquisite chime clock on the high table, lost her mind for a moment, and suddenly said to Wanqing: "Come here!" Vermillion's lips twitched a few times, Wanqing nodded: "I'll do it now, servant girl!" After saying that, she turned and left, the imperial concubine looked at Wanqing's back and smiled silently, tonight will definitely be a lively night.

When the lights come on, the palace at night is even more magnificent. The cold moonlight turns over the slanting flower branches, passes through the gently swaying wicker, and reflects the gorgeous and hazy palace gauze curtains of Yimei Palace.Han Yun silently looked at a text message that Xia Lan found in the dressing box, her eyes deepened, she took the gauze lamp, and took off the lampshade, the bright yellow flames danced like monster butterflies, and the plum blossom letter paper in her hand also turned into flying Hui, she said to Xia Han: "Xia Han, prepare for me, I'm going to Kangning Palace to visit the Empress Dowager."

"Master, at this time?" Xia Lan became confused.

Han Yun laughed, "I haven't accompanied the Queen Mother to visit Buddha for a long time, it's rare that the emperor didn't come tonight, why not take this opportunity to visit the Queen Mother." Xia Han put on a plain satin lotus cloak for her, "Since the master wants to Go, you have to put on this, it's still cold at night even though the weather is getting warmer."

In Kangning Palace, green smoke curled up. The Empress Dowager knelt on the futon in front of the altar in apricot-yellow makeup and flower phoenix robe, her thin lips curled up as she muttered, and the faint light of the sea lantern seemed to cast a layer of brilliant Buddha light on her, making her look benevolent and benevolent. The treasure is solemn.Han Yun buried her head and knelt behind her devoutly, the surroundings were silent, and all the servants were waiting outside.

After an unknown amount of time, the Empress Dowager's back moved slightly, and Han Yun immediately stepped forward to help her sit down on the red sandalwood dragon chair next to her, "The Empress Dowager drinks tea!" He put forward the purple clay pot and put a cup of hot tea in the teacup. "En" the queen mother took a sip from the teacup, and then said: "You have done a good job this time!" The soul penetrated, and there was a sudden hit in my heart. "The Ai family's thoughts are the same as yours. It must be the concubine who is cheating. There is no one else in the palace who can do this except her. The guard must have tampered with it. Fortunately, you noticed it in time. Whatever. , tonight you stay in Kangning Palace to talk to Aijia!" The queen mother probably noticed Han Yun's discomfort, and a kind smile appeared on her face, "If it was Wan Ru, she would have fallen into someone else's digging. The good one went to the pit, so it can be seen that the Ai family has not misunderstood the person!" The queen mother took Han Yun's hand, asked her to sit on the chair next to her, and looked at her picturesque eyebrows kindly.If it wasn't for the fact that Wan Ruan was an embroidered pillow, it would be difficult for her to take on important matters, and she wouldn't have to bother to find this good seedling among the maids around her, so she could firmly favor the emperor.Such a young girl would definitely be favored by the emperor. As long as her status was stabilized and she cleared the obstacles for her niece Bian Caixin who was going to enter the palace in a few years, then it would not be difficult to elect Caixin as empress. The position of their Bian family will also be more stable.

Facing the empress dowager's piercing eyes, Han Yun's face was calm, but she panicked for no reason, tightly twisting the handkerchief in her hand. "Now that you are the emperor's concubine, you can only be tied to the emperor whether you are body or heart. All the past is like dying yesterday!" Sighing: "When you are young, you will inevitably have more thoughts than others, and you will not be able to settle down. A conspiracy like this can be prevented once but not the second time. In order to prevent future troubles, let the Ai family deal with that person on your behalf! "The queen mother's voice was not loud, but it shook like a thunderstorm, and the flowers and branches of Hanyun trembled, "No!" She knelt down in front of the queen mother and hugged her legs: "Mother queen mother, please see that the servant girl is serving you!" For the sake of doing my best, please spare him!" Tears gushed out uncontrollably, no, she would rather die than him. "The concubine is like a pussy grass, the king is a rock, and the pussy is like a silk thread, and the rock can't be moved." On the night of Qixi Festival, the promise made by both of them to the bright moon is still in my ears.She has already failed him, how can she just watch him being tired by herself? "What if he still has fantasies about you, or you still have affection for him?" The corner of the Queen Mother's mouth turned down coldly, forming an excellent irony with the dignified and kind Guan Yin behind her.Han Yun froze for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "I have given up on him long ago, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the Queen Mother tonight. As for him, I will let him stop thinking about him!" The sad smile made people feel sad, The queen mother didn't know if she was infected or something else, after looking at her for a while, she sighed: "Okay, just give him another chance, we'll wait and see how you perform!"

There is no one figure in the empty and lonely Moon Palace, only the vibrant flowers and trees beside it, with a few drops of pure and crystal clear dew, which slipped from the green leaves from time to time and dripped onto the weeds that persistently spread from the bricks.

A long time has passed since the agreed time.Mihui just walked in, he came late on purpose, he wanted to see her so much, the moment he received the letter from her that he wanted to see her, his heart almost jumped out.But when he was outside the garden, he hesitated again. He was just a small deputy commander, and she was already the emperor's concubine. One was a minister and the other was a monarch. There was already an insurmountable gap between them.He was just about to sit down, but suddenly something unexpected fell into his eyes.

It was a pink brocade handkerchief, which was left on the stone bench beside him. It was particularly eye-catching amidst the solitary dark blue and silver-gray colors.That delicate color is like the thinnest flower, which makes people feel affectionate.

Mihui reached out to pick up the brocade handkerchief, on which delicate roses were embroidered with gold thread, which was Han Yun's favorite flower.Is it her?Has she already been here?He stood up abruptly and looked around, hoping to find the beauty.But there was nothing but shadows of trees.Mihui shook his head, maybe it was just wishful thinking.Maybe this Fang Jinpa was just an object dropped by an unknown concubine.

I don't know when, the fine spring rain enveloped the garden, and silver threads shining like cow hair fell from the sky, hitting the branches and leaves, making a soft "rustling" sound, and a layer of water vapor filled the garden.Mihui wanted to get out of the garden in despair.At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the Chuhuamen, and Mihui subconsciously tucked the handkerchief into his skirt.

The one who came in was a woman in a water-blue curvy skirt holding an umbrella, looking for something with her head down. "Who are you?" Mi Hun asked.The woman thought she was frightened by his sudden voice, so she stepped back a bit before raising her head.The hairpin is trembling slightly, and the pink-faced peach cheeks are just like a hibiscus out of water, which looks lovely and lovely.Bullying Shuang Saixue's wrist was lined with an ebony umbrella handle, and a delicate Suzhou paper umbrella propped up a clean area for her in the slightly cold drizzle. "You are?" Mihui felt that this woman seemed to have seen this woman somewhere, and she looked familiar. "Returning to Master Jin, the servant girl is Xia Qing, the maid of Kunning Palace," the woman saluted him.It turned out to be the queen's maid, she was kind-hearted, she had seen it last time when she went to catch the snake, but there were so many people that they didn't pay much attention. "Excuse me, Miss Su, what are you doing here late at night?" Mi Hun asked, cupping her hands. "When my master was visiting the garden in the afternoon, he accidentally left a brocade handkerchief in the garden. Coincidentally, it was the master's favorite thing, so the slaves took advantage of the master's rest and searched for it all the way. Since Lord Jin has already patrolled here, I don't know if you saw it?" Bi'er smiled sweetly, deep pear dimples appeared on her cheeks, sweet and pleasant.Mihui was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the empress had dropped the veil, his heart felt a pain for no reason, it was indeed his own wishful thinking.He smiled wryly, and then slowly took out the warm brocade handkerchief from his arms: "But this? The lower official picked it up just now." "Yes, it's exactly this! The emperor gave my master Shifang such a handkerchief." Handkerchief, but baby is tight!" Bi'er said joyfully as she took the handkerchief from him. "Thank you, Master Jin, slave!" Bi'er blessed Mihui. "This is an official matter." Mi Hun nodded lightly. "Master Jin is a smart person. He should know that some things that shouldn't exist may become evidence of a heinous crime at some point, so it's better not to keep insignificant things." Bi'er took a deep look at him. , speaking softly.Mihui suddenly trembled, did she see something?Mihui stared blankly at this seemingly delicate woman, trying to see something from her eyes, but accidentally fell into a deep pool of clear water.Bi'er ignored his complicated eyes and smiled, "The servant girl will leave first" and walked away lightly.

That slender figure disappeared into the depths of the flowers and trees, the light voice still lingered in my ears, the lingering and endless spring rain under the hazy spring rain, Mihui stood there blankly, the fine raindrops stained Wet his clothes, until a gust of cold wind blew, and he woke up suddenly.Looking at the place where Bi'er had gone, she also turned and left.

"Master, that Xi Baolin didn't go to Moon Palace." After hesitating for a while, Wanqing still told the truth. "Then where did she go?" Wan Qing was startled by the gloomy face of the imperial concubine.She boldly said: "She went to the Queen Mother's Kangning Palace."

"Bang!" The teacup in the imperial concubine's hand flew out and hit the marble mosaic floor, splashing countless fine debris. The Persian cat, which was dozing under the table, jumped up in fright, glanced at its owner, and sauntered away with its tail curled out.

Such a letter is very likely to be seen through by others, as long as Han Yun doesn't have that guard in her heart, she will definitely not fall for it.Even if there was, as long as she was smart enough, she would never be fooled.Although I didn't expect such a method to have a certain effect, it was just a preparation for the next rumor method, but after this Han Yun saw through it, she went directly to the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother to be her witness!

"However, the servant saw the guard gone, and still lingered outside the garden for a long time without daring to go in. The servant left the brocade handkerchief Fang stole from Xi Baolin there, and only left after seeing him accept it!" Wanqing Said kindly. "Hmph! No one is going, what's the use of a torn handkerchief?" The imperial concubine's voice became sharp, and her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed into knots.

Wanqing looked at her master's unkind expression, exchanged glances with Chunlan, who was serving beside her, and lowered her head, not daring to speak again, for fear that her master might turn her anger on herself.The air was terribly dull, and after a long while, the noble concubine laughed sinisterly: "It doesn't matter, let her escape this time, and next time..."

"Bi'er, you did a good job this time." Yu Ci looked at the brocade handkerchief in her hand and nodded to Bi'er who came back from the rain, "Did anyone see you when you went?" Waiting for Wanqing to leave for a while before coming out." Bi'er took a snow-white cotton handkerchief from Hanyu's hand and wiped off the water droplets on her body. "Little Liu, go, make a bowl of ginger soup for your sister Su to go and go cold." I told the little Liu next to me, "Yes, I will go now, slave!" The little Liu agreed and went out. "The imperial concubine failed this time, so she definitely won't let it go, and there's no guarantee that she won't come up with some tricks next time." I put down my brocade handkerchief, rubbed my temples, and said, "If you're free, bring some money with you. I'll reward you dearly." Please tell her to pay attention to the imperial concubine's every move." "I know," Bi'er agreed, and sat down on the chair with the small smoked cage that Hanyu brought her. "Then Master Jin is a long-term lover. It's a pity that he met such a ruthless woman and was drenched in the rain all night in vain." Hanyu felt that Mihui was worthless, Bi'er squinted at her, and said with a smile: "Yo, what?" Are you so concerned about other people now?" "Pfft" Hanyu stomped her feet and said, "Who has time to meddle in that guy's business, but I just think it doesn't matter if he gets wet in the rain, so that you will suffer for my sister, right?" Both Bi'er and Bi'er couldn't help laughing, this girl is so cute. "The last thing this palace needs is feelings. You should also remember, don't give your heart to others easily, otherwise you will always be hurt." Sighing, Hanyu nodded half-understood, while Bi'er was at a loss, as if she was far away.
