Guan Yi didn't see him again for a while, Xiaosongzi served him with delicious food and drinks, she had never lived such a comfortable life, and gradually she was a little bit reluctant to leave.

Li Chengchen came in carrying a bundle. Guan Yi was wearing a blue jacket, his black hair was tied in a braid hanging on his chest, and he was leaning on the soft couch humming a little tune to embroider: "Elder-in-law, are you back?"

She put down the clothes in her hands and went up happily, her clear eyes were full of smiles, after a few days of not seeing each other, her complexion improved a lot, her fair cheeks were slightly pink like the burning peach blossoms in March in Yangchun.

"Elder-in-law, did I disturb you to rest here? You haven't come back for a long time. I still miss you..." The voice was as low as a mosquito's back, and the tip of the index finger did not twitch. Together, "Just treat me as air, I am very obedient, and will never disturb your rest."

"Put on your clothes. I'll take you to Linghui Palace."

Before she could reply, he had already turned to the outside of the screen with his hands behind his back, poured a cup of hot tea, and frowned at the messy red plum blossoms in the long-necked white porcelain vase.

"I've changed it." The new pink palace gown has simple patterns embroidered with green silk thread on the cuffs and neckline, and a lily-of-the-valley silk flower is attached to the bun, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, delicate and pleasant, "I can wear it now." Is it the palace gown of the second-class maid? This dress is really beautiful, even better than the last one."

"Let's go."

Counting nine cold winters, dripping water turned into ice, Guan Yi followed behind him step by step, a little too quiet, along the way, many court ladies and eunuchs saluted Li Chengchen, she lowered her eyebrows and looked down, which is rare.

"what happened?"

"I... I'm afraid that if I don't understand etiquette, I will offend the imperial concubine."

He took out a pair of rabbit wool gloves from his bosom and put them on her hands. Chilblain healed slowly, the scars peeled off to reveal new pink skin, and the hands that had been working all the year round were thick and rough with calluses. Guan Yi realized something, Slightly curled up her fingers, the imperial concubine was annoyed, would she chop off her hands?Or the father-in-law is thoughtful.

The heat from his body was faintly lingering on the glove, and the white fluff wrapped her palm, which was extraordinarily warm. He patted the back of her hand lightly: "It's okay."

Is this consolation, let's just treat her as coaxing her, my father-in-law is so gentle, in fact, as long as she stays by his side, she doesn't seem to be so nervous, since he is there anyway.

Linghui Palace Quqiao Yulan, white plums in full bloom, orchid osmanthus flowers and plants, patchwork, dark fragrance floating, the inner hall is covered with a thick layer of carpet, elegant and exquisite decoration, caged earth dragon, warm and harmonious, Guan Yi has never seen Passing through such a place that could almost be called a fairyland for her, she lowered her head cautiously for fear of taking a wrong step.

There were only two blue-clothed court ladies standing by, and a beauty was lying on a soft couch, with a white tiger skin blanket on her knees, and a moon-white wide-sleeved robe embroidered with pure magnolias. A white jade plum hairpin that is as transparent as water, eyebrows like distant daisy, eyes like autumn waves, lips like cinnabar sand, Qianqian jade hands shaking the cradle, eyes full of tenderness.

The man next to him was dressed in a jade belt, his eyebrows were like knives, and his eyes were like cold stars. The dignified appearance holding the scroll is very pleasing, and the person beside him, with a golden crown and python robe, has a handsome face, looks like seven or eight years old, and is studying ink.

Why do they all look so good-looking?It's like a fairy coming down to earth. That beauty is the concubine Xi, who dotes on the imperial harem. Compared with her, Concubine Li is indeed a little less temperamental. The man next to her can't be the emperor, right?Parents, my daughter will be able to meet the emperor one day, no one told her that the emperor is a handsome man!

Xiao Zhe put away the jade pendant, glanced sideways and asked with a smile, "Cheng Chen, is this the maid you chose?"

"Slave Guan Yi sees the emperor, the imperial concubine and empress."

"Guan Yi?" Concubine Xi looked up at her and said calmly, "Get up!"

"Zhusi Yuzhu Luo Xiangyan, Feiguan promotes the string dancer." Xiao Jing put down the ink pot in his hand, and there was an aura of calm and prestige in his dark eyes at a young age.

Concubine Xi nodded and smiled: "Jing'er is right, the name is elegant."

Guan Yi frowned, pretending to understand, but she didn't understand a word, is this still her name?The crepe sounds really nice.

Xiao Jing spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen and wrote down the poem, blew on the ink on it, and presented it to Xiao Zhe with both hands: "Father, see if your son has grown up recently?"

"Floating clouds and flowing water, done in one go, quite Wei Shu style, but lack of strength, lack of fire."

"It's not as good as Manager Li."

Xiao Zhe said with a gentle smile: "Cheng Chen's calligraphy is unmatched by the world. If I am not as good as you, why should I belittle myself?"

Hearing this, Xiao Luo walked over from the desk and shook Xiao Zhe's cuffs: "Father, blue...green comes from blue and is better than blue."

Concubine Xi took Xiao Luo into her arms: "Did my elder brother teach you?"

He nodded, Xiao Zhe stood up and patted Xiao Jing's head: "Cheng Chen is worthy of being a prince's teacher."

"I don't dare." Li Chengchen hurriedly knelt down to salute. Seeing him kneeling, Guan Yi couldn't help but knelt down too. He forcibly held back and racked his brains to think about their conversation, in a daze.

Xiao Zhe raised his chin to signal him to get up, and said softly to Concubine Xi, "I'll come over to have dinner again in the evening."

"Chen and concubine respectfully send the emperor."

Xiao Jing and Xiao Luo also bowed in a dignified way: "I respectfully send my father off."

After the two left, Xiao Jing put the rice paper roll in Guan Yi's hand and said, "Since I wrote your name, I will give it to you."

She was overwhelmed by the flattery and bowed: "My servant thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"But I want to exchange for an identical calligraphy of Director Li." He smiled slyly, "You have to remember."

"Slave... Slave made it down."

"My brother taught me how to write."

"Okay, brother will teach you how to write." Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows, picked out a Langhao brush, twirled it between her fingers, dipped it in the ink, handed the brush to Xiao Luo, and patiently taught him how to write. .

"Huanqi, take Guan Yi first to familiarize yourself with the palace rules."

"Yes."

"The slaves retire."

Guan Yi followed Huanqi back and walked into the side hall. Huanqi said with a smile: "My lady is happy and quiet, and there are not many palace people serving her. Our Linghui Palace doesn't have too many rules because of my lady's kindness. There is only one thing. , you must not be careless about the crown prince, second prince, and third prince."

She took Guan Yi around the inside and outside of the Linghui Palace and explained carefully one by one: "The empress doesn't like luxury. I usually choose simple and elegant styles for palace clothes. Fresh plum vases in the outer hall need to be enshrined every day." Flowers, there is a row of powder porcelain cups in the tea room, which are all kinds of scented teas, which are brewed in rotation according to the solar terms.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the empress takes a short rest, burns incense for calming the nerves in the censer, and washes her hands with half-soaked rose juice. Afterwards, the empress is used to studying and practicing calligraphy in Xinuang Pavilion. I see that you are a clever girl. Remember? "

"Yes, thank you sister for teaching."

"You don't have to worry, you will understand your mother's temper after a long time. In fact, your mother has never been harsh on the servants. You should get acquainted with it. I will go to the inner hall to serve you first."

Guan Yi looked at the neatly arranged teacups in the tea room, opened several lids to have a look, they all looked the same, carefully sorted out what Huanqi had instructed, God!O earth!Is she too stupid?This is called no big rules?I really should take a piece of paper and write it down and read it over and over again, but I can neither write nor read, but the emperor, the imperial concubine, including the prince, and the prince seem to be different from what she imagined...

He took out the rice paper from his cuff and unfolded it. After a long time of recognition, he could only recognize a word for "jade" and a word for "fly". Let the father-in-law write a copy that is exactly the same?His Royal Highness just asked him not to write. She asked her father-in-law to ask for it.There is always nothing wrong with pretending to be cute.

In Tenglong Pavilion, Xiao Zhe handed several memorials to Li Chengchen. He opened them and scanned them briefly. They were all the memorials for the appointment of a queen: "What is the emperor's plan?"

"Wen Song quietly suppressed the case of Sui Gong, which shows his power in the court. Wei Chengshen is very talented. However, the mediocre Wei family is no longer enough to contain Wen Qi's power. It is enough for the Wei family to have a queen. Ling The meaning of the emblem is not here, so it is not suitable to be the queen, and the mother will honor the world."

Xiao Zhe knocked on the secret letter on the table, it was submitted by Sima Jing, Jinzhou won three times, and there were three small words "My sister, Ann" written on the corner.

"Jianye Jinzhou has won consecutive victories, and I am very relieved."

"Situ and Sima are all loyal. Those who entered the court established their lives for the people, and those who entered the army were loyal to the country. Staying in the capital is worthy of reuse."

"It's a pity that neither of the two mansions has a long-term concubine who has not left the cabinet." Xiao Zhe tapped his fingers on a few cases, "This matter is postponed, you go and find out if there is any close contact between the Liu mansion and the Wen manor."

Li Chengchen nodded in agreement in a daze. He seemed to know what he was thinking and accepted the secret channel: "You feel guilty about the Liu Mansion. I know it will be difficult for you to thoroughly investigate the Liu Mansion. If Concubine Li keeps her own place, I promise you and allow her For a lifetime of prosperity, if the Liu family abides by their duties, I promise you that I will never kill anyone."

"The servant dare not."

"I have said many times, there is no need to call yourself a slave in front of me."

Li Chengchen spoke righteously: "Your Majesty, the law cannot be abolished, and special cases are not advisable. At least it will damage the emperor's sageness, and at the worst it will shake the foundation of the country."

Xiao Zhe chuckled helplessly: "Your arrogance is all in your bones. I regard you as a minister, a friend, and a confidant, but I have never regarded you as a slave. You have planned everything for me, my heart Very comforting."

"The emperor's words are serious."

"Give the credit to the superior, and the fault to yourself. If all the courtiers are like you, the world will be in order." Xiao Zhe changed the subject and said with a smile, "When did you have the mood to choose the maids yourself?"

"happen."

"Then do you know that most of the coincidences in the world are done intentionally by one of them? In the future, Guan Yi will stay in your yard and serve your daily necessities!"

"The emperor misunderstood."

Xiao Zhe waved his hand: "You are not joking, Li Chengchen accepts the order."

He had no choice but to kneel down and salute to thank him: "The servant is in command."

At three o'clock in the morning, Li Chengchen returned to the yard, and just as soon as he stepped into the gate, Guan Yi enthusiastically undressed him and took off his cape. As soon as he touched the belt, he pressed his hand: "No need."

She withdrew her hand embarrassingly, pulled and pushed him onto the bed, and brought a basin of hot water: "Elder-in-law has been tired all day, I will wash your feet for you."

"Need not."

"It's very comfortable. Don't keep saying you don't need it. Give it a try, okay? Just take it off." Guan Yi raised his leg and put it on his knee as he said, helping him take off his black boots, and glanced at the socks inside It turned out to be the pair made by myself, grinning, and tested the water temperature with his hands, "Elder-in-law, can you try it to see if it's hot?"

"Why are you back again?"

"The imperial concubine asked me to come back every night to serve your daily necessities." She sat on a small bench and carefully washed his feet. The back of his feet was covered with old injuries, his toes were deformed, and his tentacles were as cold as a block of ice. "You won't drive me away." let's go?"

"What do you say?"

"The Imperial Concubine's decree, you must not disobey." She caressed the scar on his foot intentionally or unintentionally with her fingers, "The Imperial Concubine is really a beauty, and the emperor is also good-looking."

"What else can you say besides saying you look good?"

"My father-in-law is handsome."

The author has something to say: Guan Yi: Anyway, I will stay here and not leave.
