Chapter 21

The red maple trees in the courtyard are gradually withering, and the autumn colors are a little bit deeper. This half moon seems to be very long, and when I look at it suddenly, it is already the last night.

Su Yan finished transcribing the 28 volumes of the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", and three days later, at the beginning of winter, at this time of the year, Empress Dowager Jiang retreated to the Buddha in the Yangxin Pavilion outside the Cining Palace for [-] days. Unchanged rules for ten years.

She caressed the mottled wooden box with ten fingers, and made up her mind that the empress dowager needs a concubine to serve the Buddha, and the eldest prince is also under the care of the nanny, and they go to the Yangxin Pavilion together. This is how she approaches her son. This is a great opportunity, not to be missed.

Yaolian Hall is located in the north courtyard of the East Palace, adjacent to Zhao Jieyu's Fangming Hall, but it is one east and one west from Lingyan Pavilion, separated by half the distance of the inner city.

"I've been bored in the palace for half a month, so I have to take a stroll today." Su Yan took Lan Ruo to Lin Ronghua Palace, passing through the stone forest with carved railings along the way, it was inevitable to tease her for a while.

The stone forest stands on the south side of the imperial garden, it is very beautiful, there is a clear stream in it, Su Yan gently rolls up her sleeves, revealing a small lotus arm, holding a piece of wormwood to tease the fish in the water, Lan Ruo is on the side to protect her He said, "Miss, be careful, don't get wet in Tianhan."

Su Yan flicked the stream, blinked at Lanruo, and said, "There will be no one here, so I'm going to have a good time."

Lan Ruo had no choice but to raise her head but was stunned. Su Yan heard that she didn't respond, so she called again, and then Lan Ruo slightly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Miss..."

Su Yan turned around and took a look, her hands also stopped, a few steps away, there was a group of people coming from behind the rock, the leader was a tall and slender man with a sword in military uniform.

Ning Wenyuan was patrolling the outer court with his subordinates, and was about to go to the Kunyuan Hall. The last time we saw each other, we thought we would never see each other again, but when we didn't want to see each other here, we realized that the person we wanted to forget, the more he remembered. deep.

He took a step forward and was about to salute when Su Yan slipped her foot in a daze and saw that she was falling into the stream. Ning Wenyuan was startled, ignoring the rules of the palace, he jumped up instinctively, with long arms Pulling her up, Su Yan bumped into his arms impartially due to the force of the impact.

Lan Ruo covered her mouth in shock, and the guards at the side also stood behind with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

Su Yan regained her composure first, and pushed him away, "Lao Ning's guards are here to help."

Ning Wenyuan stabilized his emotions, the tip of his nose seemed to still have the smell of her body, then he turned around and said, "As long as Su Wanyi is fine, I still need to go to Kunyuan Palace, there is no delay."

Su Yan was shocked and supported Lan Ruo's arm, but when she heard a woman's voice mixed with laughter, Su Yan hurriedly glanced at Ning Wenyuan, he was naturally alert, and took a deep look at her, then Turning around and looking behind the rocks, he disappeared without a trace.

Just at this time, I saw the crowd crowding around and approaching slowly, the person at the head was today's emperor, Duan Zhaoling dressed in a bright yellow robe, handsome and handsome, leaning over to talk to Concubine Yi beside him, and the group of attendants behind him Among the people, Yao Gui was among them.

Concubine Yi smiled sweetly, but when she looked up, she saw Su Yan standing in front of her with her sleeves half rolled up, a little messy, she couldn't help turning cold, Yao Gui was even more arrogant, as if she saw something very disgusting.

But Duan Zhaoling saw that the people beside him were silent immediately, so he casually raised his eyes, and met Su Yan's eyes, but seeing her thin clothes, and her charming posture in the autumn wind, he suddenly felt his heart tighten, and that gaze The faint starlight in the middle gave him a different kind of familiar feeling in his heart.

Su Yan hurriedly rolled down her sleeves, saluted on the spot, and lowered her body to the ground very low, "My concubine, Mrs. Su, I have seen Your Majesty... I have seen Concubine Yi!"

Duan Zhaoling walked forward slowly, bowed gracefully, stretched out his right hand, and said in a clear voice, "Which Su family? Lift your head and teach me to take a look."

Su Yan was overwhelmed by the flattery, she put her little hand in his big palm slightly, and let him pull her up.

Her eyes are like water, delicate like spring peaches, and she is full of beauty in Gu Panjian. On her flawless little face, there is a youthful and ashamed expression.

Duan Zhaoling's eyes were fixed on that face, seemingly thoughtful, still with a noble and handsome smile, he held her soft catkin in his palm, gently stroked her, and did not let go.

Concubine Yi had already seen the clue, so she stepped forward and reminded, "It's Su Wanyi who is confined in Lingyan Pavilion. The meeting in Shilin today is actually a coincidence. It can be seen that sister Su and His Majesty are destined by fate."

Seeing His Majesty holding Su Yan's hand tightly, Yao Guiren felt dissatisfied in his chest, thinking that his family has been favored recently, so he followed up and echoed, "Sister Su has raised her for a few days, but I don't know if her anger has subsided?"

Concubine Yi frowned, seeing that nobleman Yao didn't know the importance, she said in a veiled way, "I guess His Majesty has something to say to Sister Su, let's go to the garden."

Only then did Duan Zhaoling let go of her little hand, and felt that the touch was greasy and soft, and slightly raised the corner of her mouth, and said, "Concubine Yi doesn't need to see outsiders, it's rare for me to come out today to relax, wouldn't it be lively if there were more people?"

Concubine Yi smiled again, leaned towards her, and said, "I'm sorry to see that His Majesty is very fond of Sister Su, and I'm only happy for His Majesty, I'm not thinking carefully."

Su Yan was also surprised and delighted, she lowered her head, and looked at the emperor as if she couldn't help it.

Duan Zhaoling waved the jade bone fan in his hand, and asked, "Has Su Wanyi's foot restraint been relieved?"

Concubine Yi quickly replied, "I will solve it today."

Duan Zhaoling closed the folding fan and pointed, "Then accompany me to the front garden and see the last touch of blue color this year."

Su Yan still lowered her head, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I have made an appointment to visit Sister Lin, I'm afraid I can't go with Your Majesty."

Concubine Yi said displeased, "You're talking nonsense again!"

Duan Zhaoling stared silently, although he taught her to be disobedient, he didn't feel annoyed, stretched out the handle of the fan, slowly lifted Su Yan's small chin, lowered his head to look at her, "You and Qing'er have a deep friendship, I am I can't teach you to break your trust."

There was joy in Su Yan's eyes, and she immediately raised her eyelids, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding..."

Unexpectedly, Duan Zhaoling changed the subject, "Tonight, you come to Kunyuan Hall, and I will talk to you carefully."

The situation changed so quickly that it was difficult for everyone present to adapt, Su Yan froze, as if unable to slow down.

The palace people listened to the decree in silence, and Wang Zhongming then ordered someone to record it in the imperial book. The palace people listened secretly, thinking that this Su Wanyi is really good-looking, but with just one look, she will fascinate the emperor who has never been addicted to women. I just got rid of the restraint, and I'm about to go to bed, the degree of satisfaction can be seen.

Although Concubine Yi regards her as an obstacle, she thinks that she is simple-minded and not to be feared, but she never expects that a mistake will teach her to be favored easily, and she smiles more politely, "I don't want to thank the Holy Grace anymore. "

At first Su Yan's beautiful eyes were wide open, until Concubine Yi mentioned something, she realized that His Majesty meant to serve her at home, she couldn't help being overjoyed, a smile bloomed on her little face.

Su Yan was naturally charming, when she saw a happy expression, a layer of crimson faded between the brow bone and the tip of her eyes, faintly lingering between her brows, and Bai Mei was suddenly born.

Duan Zhaoling only stared at her deeply, his eyes turned, Yao Guiren saw that His Majesty was so partial now, he didn't dare to speak sarcasm lightly, he just stared at Su Yan fiercely, bit his lips and remained silent.

Only then did Su Yan thank her, and Duan Zhaoling left with all the concubines in a good mood.

After walking a few steps, Concubine Yi turned her head and saw that Su Yan was still standing there, with a look of surprise, and the coldness in her heart gradually grew.

On the way to the Yaolian Hall, Lan Ruo couldn't help being overjoyed, she almost shed tears, and said that the young lady has finally made it through, so don't get angry!
Su Yan clenched the handkerchief tightly, and with a smile on her lips, she said coquettishly, "It's really not easy to take the first step."

Lin Qingqing was waiting in the main hall early in the morning, when she saw Yuxi leading Su Yan in, she stepped forward and took her hand, she was silent for a long time, separated for dozens of days, how could she not be in love?

"I haven't seen you for so many days, is Sister Lin okay?" Seeing her slightly red eyes, Su Yan knew that Lin Qingqing was the first person around her who really treated her family.

Lin Qingqing sighed with a smile, ordered the palace people to watch tea, took Su Yan to the inner room alone, and said, "I should ask you this, I am very good."

"I heard that my sister is quite loved by the Holy One, and Yan'er is also happy for her!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingqing's face turned pale from joy, but her eyes were full of tenderness, and she said, "Your Majesty treats me very well, I dare not ask for more."

"Seeing that my sister is not happy, what is embarrassing, don't treat Yan'er as an outsider." Su Yan knew that she was too sharp at first, so she must have been excluded by others.

Lin Qingqing closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Fortunately, you gave me a handkerchief to wake me up, otherwise the consequences would have been even worse. Now that I think about it, I was really too naive, thinking that as long as His Majesty pampers me, nothing will happen to me." Don't be afraid, but you don't know that you have already fallen into the shoes of others..."

Yuxi put the refreshments on the table, and Su Yan saw the luxurious decorations in the hall, so Lin Qingqing pointed them out one by one, most of them were rewarded by His Majesty, Su Yan said, "They can calculate, so naturally we can, if people offend me, I will offend them, My sister has His Majesty's doting on her, so she has confidence after all, and she can't just teach others to bully her."

"I can't even talk about favors. Lady Yao has also been favored several times, and Concubine Yi is still blessed. Yesterday, His Majesty recruited Wang Meiren to sing a song. There are so many concubines in the harem, how can it be easy?"

Seeing that Su Yan was silent, Lin Qingqing smiled and said, "Let's not talk about it, since you have lifted the ban, we care for each other, so we feel sad."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they talked a lot, so Su Yan told her about the imperial garden, Lin Qingqing felt relieved for her that the beautiful jade was in the box, and finally it was not buried.

After lunch, Su Yan and Lin Qingqing went to Zhao Jieyu's palace together. Since entering the palace, she has not formally visited Fangming Palace.

When Fang entered the gate of the palace, he heard the clear and clear singing voice from the palace of Wang Meiren.

Su Yan knew that she was good at singing, which made Duan Zhaoling more attractive. Lin Qingqing stopped and listened for a while, thinking of the unhappiness at the banquet that day, she felt uncomfortable.

Seeing the two of them coming, Zhao Jieyu greeted them warmly, "My Fangming Palace is rarely so lively, and none of you are allowed to leave tonight."

Seeing Su Yan's face flushed, Lin Qingqing hid her smile, "Sister doesn't know yet, His Majesty invited Yan'er to sleep with her tonight, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Zhao Jieyu's calm face lightened with joy, stroked Su Yan's beautiful hair, and said, "Yan'er has grown up, my sister is really happy for you."

The three of them were talking about being excited when they suddenly heard someone outside the door saying, "Lin Ronghua and Su Wanyi are also here, they are really rare visitors."

Zhao Jieyu put down the teacup and said calmly, "Wang Meiren should come in and have a seat."

Lin Qingqing didn't want to see her, Su Yan was also very disgusted, but she still couldn't help laughing, the beauty Wang helped the Liuyun hairpin on her bun, and said, "Sister Su's hairpin is so unique, I look at it better than your Majesty gave me. This one is even more delicate."

Su Yan naturally heard the meaning of showing off in her words, so she said seriously, "Then why don't we change?"

Beauty Wang taught her to be speechless, Lin Qingqing couldn't help smiling, and Beauty Wang said again, "I haven't congratulated Sister Su yet, but hearing that His Majesty likes it at first sight, I'm really envious."
