I waved my hand gently. It's not that I haven't seen the imperial doctor before, but nothing was found after the visit. They just said that I have stagnation of liver qi, so these days, Shuixiu and the others are thinking of ways to make me happy, and they are in the yard every day.

They set off fireworks and found some new gadgets for me, but they didn’t turn out well at all.

"No need, it's too late now."

The emperor and the queen are going to Qingyin Pavilion at Youshi, and the concubines cannot arrive later than them.

After saying that, I looked in the mirror again, and my face was still a little haggard, so I asked them to put some more powder on it, and it looked better than before. After tidying up my appearance, I asked Shuixiu to accompany me out the door.

From the Imperial Garden, you bypassed the Yiran Pavilion, crossed a bridge, and saw the Qingyin Pavilion in front of you. You could even hear the lively gongs and drums of the opera troupe in the distance.

Shuixiu was so excited that she said, "It's so lively."

I smiled, said nothing, and let her support her as she walked forward slowly. Just when I reached the entrance of the garden, I heard a burst of a cappella singing coming from the waterside pavilion.

There is snow all around, and even the frozen lake is covered with falling snow. From such a picturesque scenery, such a light singing floats, which makes people feel particularly ethereal and has an indescribable smell. I can't bear it.

I couldn't help but pause and listen.

Shuixiu blinked her big eyes curiously: "Cairen, is this Jiangnan opera?"

"Yeah."

"But I can't even understand it."

I smiled and said: "Jiangnan's opera is self-contained. The singing is tactful and delicate. To understand it, you need some patience."

"Cairen, have you heard of it before?"

"Yeah."

"Who sang it?"

"..."

My face froze slightly. The last time I heard such a play was in the Grand Master's Mansion. No one could have imagined that the man with a body as strong as a dragon amidst the light of swords and shadows could actually sing such melodious lyrics and music.

I just don’t know if he has escaped from the bloody world now and can live a life as pure as this song.

Seeing that I was dazed, Shui Xiu shook my sleeve again and said, "Why are you dazed, Talent? Who has performed for you? Is that person still in the capital?"

"He——"

Before I could say anything, Shuixiu's eyes accidentally glanced behind me, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly knelt down: "This servant pays homage to the emperor, and pays homage to the empress."

I was startled and turned around quickly to see Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing standing outside the gate.

In the ice and snow, both of them were wearing thick fox furs, looking extremely luxurious. But against the fluffy fur, Pei Yuanhao's face was still pale, and his eyes seemed to be covered with ice as he looked at me.

When , there was no temperature at all.

I slowly knelt down, and as soon as my knees touched the cold stone slab, I couldn't help but shiver.

"I, my concubine, pay my respects to the emperor, and pay my respects to the queen."

He slowly walked up to me, looked down at me and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shuixiu hurriedly came over to help me, and I stood up slowly. When I raised my head, I met those indifferent and dark eyes. In a daze, I felt a little strange.

These days, he has not entered my dreams again. Maybe it is because I am too busy with state affairs and cannot even enter my dreams. But it is not that I have never thought about my Amitabha. In this palace, the only one I can rely on is myself.

, only him.

He said: "Why, you don't look good?"

"..." I was a little hesitant. I didn't expect that he would see it even after applying powder, but I still managed a smile and said, "No, I slept too long today."

He frowned: "Uncomfortable?"

"It's just that people are lazy."

He stopped talking and just looked at me. I don’t know why, but his eyes were obviously calm, but they made me feel panicked. It seemed that the calmness was like a mirror-like lake surface, but at any time it would destroy anyone who stepped into it.

Swallow it up.

My face suddenly turned red.

I've also heard that he has been in the Imperial Study Room these days. He rarely even has time to go back to the Taiji Palace, and he almost never summons his concubines to sleep with him. And today is New Year's Eve again...

Just thinking about it, my stomach suddenly felt a little restless.

My heart also sank a little. My body has been unsettled these days. Before, I was worried about my child, so I resisted his advances. Of course, it is best not to do this now.

So, I gently stepped aside.

As soon as he saw my action, his face immediately turned cold, he gritted his teeth, then turned and walked towards Qingyin Pavilion.

I stood nearby and bit my lower lip gently. At this time, Chang Qing also walked in front of me.

Her face still had the same elegant and graceful expression as usual, but just now - I don't know if it was my misunderstanding, but there seemed to be a momentary absence in her eyes.

She looked at me and said, "Yue Cairen is here too."

"Greetings to the Queen."

"I haven't been to see you these days. How are you?"

"I'm fine, my concubine. Thank you, Queen."

"Being pregnant is different from usual, so you need to take good care of yourself." She said, then smiled and said: "It's cold outside, come in."

"Yes."

I nodded lightly and stood by the door in a decent manner, waiting for her to walk in. Then I slowly followed her and walked in.

As soon as I approached Qingyin Pavilion, I heard the singing of birds and swallows inside. Basically all the concubines in the harem were here. We rarely have such an opportunity on weekdays. Although some of them were not harmonious, they all looked happy.

It looked like three or two were sitting together talking and laughing. Pang Xiuyi stood under the stage, looking through the curtain of the general. When he turned around and saw us, he immediately smiled and said: "The emperor is here!"

As soon as she shouted, all the concubines stood up silently and knelt down to say hello to Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing. Pei Yuanhao walked over and waved his hand: "Let's all get back together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

I stood behind Chang Qing. When I raised my eyes, I saw the most dazzling woman in the crowd.

A beauty is a beauty after all. Even if she stands in a crowd of red flowers and willows, her stunning beauty cannot be concealed in the slightest. Shen Rou did not wear anything dazzling today. She wore a snow-white fox fur, which covered up her exquisite figure, but it made her look beautiful.

Her skin is snow-white, her eyes are like autumn water, and her lips are like red dots. She is as refined and charming as a fairy.

Pei Yuanhao couldn't help but look at her twice. Shen Rou smiled charmingly, but did not go up to her. Instead, she walked in front of me.

"Yuecairen."

"I have met the imperial concubine."

"Long time no see, Yue Cairen seems a little haggard."

I also knew that I looked a little haggard and looked a little unsightly in front of her radiant light, so I forced a smile and said, "I'll forget about it."

"You are also pregnant. How can you do it if you don't take good care of yourself?" She said, looking at Xu Cairen next to her: "Look at Xu Cairen, he looks much better than you, but you need to pay more attention to Xu Cairen.

Talented people ask for advice."

When Xu Cairen heard this, he also glanced in my direction and said nothing. I said a few perfunctory words and then stepped aside and sat down.

Then everyone took their seats, and the aunt from the imperial dining room came over to serve everyone with dishes and wine. Eunuch Yu slowly walked to Pei Yuanhao with the plate in hand and said, "Your Majesty, please order this first."

Pei Yuanhao picked up the list, flipped it over, and said with a faint smile: "I don't understand either. But the queen knows how to play. Please come and order it for me."

Chang Qing smiled, took the order, took a look at it, and said: "Then I will give you the order for the emperor - let the eight immortals cross the sea."

Pei Yuanhao smiled with interest: "Why does the queen also order such a lively show?"

"It's the Chinese New Year after all."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then gave the order to Eunuch Yu. I kept sitting next to them, looking at the two of them without saying anything. Pei Yuanhao smiled and slowly looked towards us and whispered to us.

What did Eunuch Yu say? Eunuch Yu nodded and walked over with the plate in hand.

My heart skipped a beat, but as soon as I raised my head, I saw Eunuch Yu turning around and walking up to Shen Rou.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has said, just order whatever you want to hear, no matter whether it is lively or quiet, whatever you like to hear."

"Really?"

Shen Rou smiled softly, looked at the order, but did not order anything, and said: "Let everyone order first, I don't know much about drama. I'll talk about it after reading it for a while."

"Yes."

After Eunuch Yu finished speaking, he came over again holding a plate: "Talent, would you like to order one?"

My face was still a little stiff, and when I raised my head to look at him, I was still a little dull. I was stunned for a moment before I forced a smile and shook my head: "Thank you, Eunuch Yu, there is nothing I want to see."

He didn't force himself, he just nodded and walked away again.

The play list was passed around on the catkins, and the stage was full of noisy gongs and drums, but most of them were lively plays. However, under the stage, the banquets were filled with people drinking and laughing. It was a rare kind of "quietness".

”.

I am sitting quietly in this "quietness".

Time passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was Haishi, and the finale of the "Tiannu Scattering Flowers" was also played on the stage, leaving only the last one.
To be continued...
