Chapter 28: their own minds

"Master, are you still thinking about what happened yesterday?" Tingzhu held her hair for Zhuang Luoyan, thinking that it was Zhuang Luoyan who remembered that the dead palace maid was uncomfortable, so he persuaded: "This is the case in this harem, if you take a wrong step, It's hell, master, you don't need to care too much."

Zhuang Luoyan nodded and said nothing, but she knew what happened yesterday.

Concubine Rou had a different position from her, so when the maid was near the Taoyu Pavilion, she deliberately let Fu Bao go out to scare the maid and gave her a warning. Who knew that the maid was so timid and pretended to pick two peaches. He walked out in a hurry, and as soon as he went out, he ran into the unhappy Queen Mother.

What puzzled her was why this palace maid deliberately wandered around the Taoyu Pavilion, and Concubine Rou came too fast, who else did it

I suddenly remembered the two palace maids who died inexplicably after Ye Shurong had a miscarriage, Jin Liangyi, who was put into the cold palace by the emperor, and the current conflicts between the Ye family sisters, the empress dowager's ceremonial Buddha and the emperor's unusual confrontations several times, and the inexplicable empress dowager this time. I came to see an unremarkable Taoyuan, and this happened again. What is the problem

Is it someone who wanted to plot against her, or Concubine Rou, or someone who originally wanted to plot against someone else, but ended up ruining the plan by herself, and in the end only caused Concubine Rou to be scolded by the Empress Dowager

"What's the name of that palace maid, do you have a good friend in the palace?" Zhuang Luoyan stopped Tingzhu from inserting a red coral hairpin in his hair, took out the red coral hairpin in Tingzhu's hand, and pulled it out of the box. The one who picked out a jadeite jade was handed over to Tingzhu.

Tingzhu changed her hairpin according to Zhuang Luoyan's wishes, "This servant girl only knows that this maid is called Jin Tao, and she is a maid in charge of cleaning at Concubine Rou's place. She can't get close to Concubine Rou on weekdays."

Hearing Zhu's meaning, he seemed to be suspicious of the strangeness of this matter. Zhuang Luoyan put the coral hairpin back in the dressing box, "I don't need to inquire about this for the time being." Yesterday, even the emperor intervened.

Today, the Queen Mother saved the concubines and concubines to greet them, and the concubines and concubines also felt less tossing, and they all felt a sense of relief. Zhuang Luoyan walked slowly in the garden, thinking about the concubines and concubines talking and laughing this morning, and the past. There is no difference, even the concubine Rou, who has been reprimanded by the queen mother, is in good condition with the past, which shows that these women's palaces.

Not long after returning to Taoyu Pavilion, the eunuch of Qianzheng Palace announced an decree to bring the emperor's reward. It was nothing more than some palace satin hairpins and pearls. The only special thing was probably a pot of Arhats pine bonsai, which was trimmed. Very meaningful, it makes people feel comfortable when looking at it, and it is perfect to be placed in the outer room.

"Master Zhao, before the servants left, the emperor also said that the emperor Luohansong still has it. If you are not satisfied with this pot, you can change another pot." The eunuch who announced the decree said with a smile.

"I have Eunuch Lao, this pot is very good," Zhuang Luoyan noticed that the pattern on the white-ground blue-and-white porcelain with Arhats was actually Yue Yuexue. Was the emperor expressing his love for him

"I like it very much," Zhuang Luoyan smiled brightly in an instant, rewarded the eunuch with a purse, and carefully wiped the edge of the pot with a handkerchief.

The eunuch Chuanzhi gave Luo Hansong a puzzled look. Although the bonsai was good, it was not a rarity. How could Zhao Chongyi like these things.

The eunuch who passed the decree returned to the Qianzheng Palace to report the decree. In the past, the emperor just nodded his head, but after he finished speaking today, the emperor suddenly spoke up.

"Does Zhao Chongyi like those things?" Feng Jin just went to court, and while untying the emperor's crown, he looked at Eunuch Chuanzhi. Eunuch Chuanzhi felt inexplicably nervous. The senior manager also looked at himself.

"Back, back to the emperor, Zhao Chongyi likes it very much," he paused, but still told what happened in the Taoyu Pavilion in its entirety, "Originally Zhao Chongyi was already happy, but after looking at the pot of Luohansong bonsai, she even more He was overjoyed and gave the servant a piece of gold, and when the servant left, he saw Zhao Chongyi wiping the edge of the basin with a handkerchief, thinking that he liked the pot of Arhat very much."

"Well, since Zhao Chongyi rewarded you with one ingot of gold, I will reward you with two ingots of gold, and Gao Dezhong will take him down to get it." Feng Jin handed the imperial crown to the female official, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Yes," Gao Dezhong led the eunuch Chuanzhi out and smiled at the eunuch Chuanzhi, "You are lucky, but Zhao Chongyi really likes that pot of Arhats?"

"Go back to the general manager, how dare the servants dare to tell lies, General Manager Gao, you didn't look at it. Originally, the servants saw Zhao Chongyi's expression towards those palace satin pearls, but I didn't know that Zhao Chongyi would be happy when he saw the pot of Arhats. In that way, the servants have also gone to Taoyu Pavilion to pass the will several times, but I really don't see how happy Zhao Chongyi is today." The eunuch who passed the order shook his head, still not understanding why Zhao Chongyi suddenly became happy. .

"As a servant, don't think too much about your master's affairs." Gao Dezhong took two ingots of gold to the eunuch Chuanzhi. "As a servant, don't say too much about your master's affairs, do you understand?"

When the eunuch Chuanzhi heard the words, he nodded hurriedly. He could have some status in the Ganzheng Palace. Naturally, he had a brain. In addition, Director Gao reminded him that he didn't understand that he couldn't mention it to others.

After Gao Dezhong returned to Feng Jin, he repeated what the eunuch had just said. Looking at the emperor's face, he seemed very satisfied with Zhao Chongyi.

Tingzhu and Yunxi both knew what the master said a few days ago, and now they are happy when the emperor gave this to him.

Zhuang Luoyan thought about the flowers and plants that he was given here. First, the purple garland, then the water lily, and now the rhododendron. The emperor will prepare a flower shop in his next life, right

However, this blue-and-white porcelain pot is so well made that it may be sold at a sky-high price for later generations.

Because the emperor favored any concubine recently, he had to reward it, and the women in the harem were used to seeing it, so the Taoyu Pavilion received a reward for the concubines and there was no other reaction. As usual, the queen came with a gift. Although it was not expensive, at least she put on a virtuous and generous gesture.

The emperor ran a long circle among the women in the harem, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he didn't turn over the Ye family sisters' brand. Even the queen's cousin, Sun Huiji, was favored and was promoted to Sun Ronghua, and was on an equal footing with Ye Ronghua.

After Zhuang Luoyan heard that the queen's cousin was promoted to Rong Hua, she couldn't help but sighed, this emperor is really wicked, there are so many titles in the harem that she can't count, so she just gave Rong Hua to others. Is Ye Wanmei embarrassed

When greeting the queen, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the newly promoted Sun Ronghua, saw her cowardly appearance, and couldn't help but sighed a sin, such a young girl became the victim of the harem battle, not to mention other people, just Even the queen is probably looking at her as a pawn.

It rained in the night, but the summer heat was relieved. After Zhuang Luoyan left Jingyang Palace, he suddenly had a little interest in appreciating lotus flowers. She heard that there was a beautiful lotus pond not far from the Imperial Garden, but unfortunately she never got the chance to see it.

When I arrived at the lotus pond, the lotus flowers inside were really beautiful. Zhuang Luoyan couldn't help but acted like a savage hand to destroy the flowers. As soon as he stood up, he heard a young voice behind him.

"Is Zhao Chongyi in front?"

Zhuang Luoyan looked back and saw that it was Sun Ronghua in a pink dress, and she showed a gentle smile.

"I've seen Zhao Chongyi." Sun Ronghua's obedient salute gave people the feeling of a good girl. Zhuang Luoyan couldn't help but sigh. Both of them were eighteen years old, so why didn't they feel so innocent? Could it be that the soul determines their temperament

"Sun Ronghua doesn't need to be too polite," Zhuang Luoyan smiled and nodded, "Sun Ronghua is also here to reward the lotus?"

"I heard that the lotus flowers are blooming well here, so I came to have a look." Sun Ronghua glanced at the lotus pond. "Unfortunately, this is not the time when the lotus flowers are the most beautiful. It will be the most beautiful after a few days."

"For me, it's the same anytime, as long as it's open, it's beautiful," Zhuang Luoyan looked at the lotus flower in his hand, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Sun Ronghua."

"Congratulations to Zhao Chongyi," Sun Ronghua bowed his knees, and suddenly added behind Zhuang Luoyan: "The most beautiful flowers must bloom correctly."

Zhuang Luoyan looked at Sun Ronghua, "There are flowers that can be folded and must be folded, don't wait until there are no flowers to fold." After speaking, he took the folded lotus flowers and sat on the chariot and left.

Sun Ronghua watched the group go away with a blank expression, turned his head slowly, looked at the water in the lotus pond, and tickled the corner of his mouth.

"Master, what does Sun Ronghua mean?" Yun Xi was a little worried, "My servants always feel that this Sun Ronghua is not as simple as she looks."

"I can't hold my breath," Zhuang Luoyan put a few lotus flowers into the bottle, and said slowly, "She talks to me like this today, and she will talk like this to other concubines tomorrow, it seems that The Queen's cousin, her bearing is far from the Queen's."

Zhuang Luoyan now understands what the original owner of this body looks like. When she first received the favor, she was probably just like this Sun Ronghua. She was so proud that she forgot who she was and who else was in the harem.

In the night two days later, a thunderstorm broke through the thunder, Zhuang Luoyan sat up from the bed in fright, and looked at the dark night illuminated by lightning. She didn't know if she made a mistake. She seemed to hear a woman's sharp voice in the distance. cry.
