Feng Yu lives in the main courtyard, also known as Qinzheng Hall.

The distance from Qinzheng Hall to Suilingxuan is not far. A small path passes through bamboo forests and towering cypress trees. You can see the plaque of Suilingxuan in just half a quarter of an hour.

When Feng Yu arrived at Suilingxuan, he had not stepped in, but heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

As if there was nothing, as if it was very close, Feng Yu raised his hand and signaled the palace servant to calm down. He looked up and saw that there was a palace servant holding a wooden lantern in the corridor in front of Suilingxuan, which was exposed to the warm and dark light, which happened to be reflected on the woman.

Ayu slept for a day, but at night she lost her sleepiness.

She remembered the stream she saw in front of Suilingxuan during the day, and immediately became interested. She led Zhou Qi and others to play with water next to the rockery.

There are also lakes in the palace, and it is so beautiful that they are managed by the palace servants, but Ayu has been there very little, so she has to take into account her image even when passing by.

She walked near the rockery and found that the stream was actually alive. It was a palace servant who had been digging it out. In this way, she had no worries. If Zhou Qi hadn't been afraid that she would catch a cold at night, she would have stepped in.

However, even after listening to Zhou Qi's words, she just sat by the corridor and played, it was not much better. Her entire sleeve was soaked in water. When she lifted it up, water droplets could splash, wetting Zhou Qi's clothes beside her.

Feng Yu approached and heard a string of silver bell-like laughter: "Aqi, be with me."

Just as Zhou Qi was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the shadow behind her master. She looked up and was startled to look at it. She was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "I will meet the emperor."

This movement led to a series of salutes from the palace servants next to him. Ayu was frightened by the sudden movement and almost fell into the water.

Feng Yu hugged her quickly and scolded her angrily: "What are you anxious about?"

Ayu was also scared, but she felt that he was saying something about turning things around, and immediately raised her lips to retort: ​​"It was obviously the emperor who was scared to me."

The faint light of the lantern allowed Ayu to see the unexpected on his face. The rebuttal immediately lowered and eventually became a murmur.

Feng Yu took her into the room and found that her clothes were wet. Her simple clothes could not hide the spring scenery. The place was almost completely visible. Feng Yu immediately lowered his eyes.

He said, "Is the courage so good?"

Dare to play like this in public.

Ayu looked along his gaze and her cheeks suddenly turned red. She was so awkward that she hurriedly reached up to her clothes, pressed against the man's gaze, and whispered:

"I'm in the yard, I'm not seeing it..."

The corridor in front of the yard is also considered in the yard?

Feng Yu snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes again: "Do you know you're making trouble?"

Ayu was silent and could not speak the words, so she could only move closer to him quietly, pull his sleeve, swayed gently, and admit her mistakes obediently: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake, don't be angry."

Feng Yu glanced at her hand and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Every time she makes a mistake, she always likes to use this trick, and doesn't know how to change the same tone and movement.

After a long time, Feng Yu spoke again, but he looked at the palace servant beside him: "Stop doing something, why don't you get a basin of hot water? Let your master cleanse your body?"

Feng Yu's voice was a little cold, and the stream was extremely cold at night. Yu Xiuyi was not deep, so the palace servants around him didn't even know how to persuade him.

The hot water came in, which was originally used for Ayu to cleanse her body, but in the end it turned into two people bathing.

Yang De had already led everyone back.

Through a screen, after a while, Ayu fell into the man's arms, holding the edge of the bathtub weakly. She leaned on her slender neck, which was a little blush. I don't know if it was water droplets or sweat, but gradually slid down from her neck, soaking the beautiful spring scenery, and scented with bones.

After a long time, Feng Yu leaned over and kissed her neck, pinched her waist with both hands, and listened to her unbearable sound of overflowing and breaking, and his breathing was slightly heavy.

——

The next day, Ayu was awakened by the movements outside.

"...Is Yu Xiuyi awake? After noon..."

"Okay, I remember...you go slowly..."

In a daze, Ayu didn't listen to it seriously, but she could hear the last sentence was Zhou Qi's voice. When she moved, someone came over and lifted the curtain of the bed. The crisp sound of Liuzhu sounded in her ears:

"Master, are you awake?"

After applying a silk towel soaked in hot water to her face, Ayu woke up after a while. She leaned against the bed and sat up and asked softly: "Who was talking to Zhou Qi just now?"

"It's Eunuch Liu." Liuzhu squatted on the ground and put on shoes and socks for her.

While talking, Zhou Qi came in with the newly picked peach blossom branches. Seeing that the master was awake, his eyes lit up and put the peach blossom branches into the green jade vase. Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Master, Eunuch Liu just came over and told me that the emperor invites you to visit the lake together after lunch."

Ayu was stunned for a moment, looked out and said, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost time."

Ayu stroked her forehead with a headache. Has she actually slept for so long?

She reached out and touched the bed. Except for the one she was sleeping in, the rest of the place was already cold. Ayu raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Have you been walking for a long time?"

"I got up at the time of Mao and went to Qinzheng Hall."

Upon hearing this, Ayu's beautiful eyes widened. She thought that the emperor would relax after leaving the palace, but she thought too much.

Zhou Qi went out and came in with a bowl of iced fresh milk, then said:

"Before the master woke up, Meiren Chen and the others were coming to pay their respects to the master, but they were stopped by my servants."

Ayu rinsed her mouth and immediately said, "You're blocking me. Next time I tell them, don't get in front of me if you have nothing to do."

She is not a queen, so she doesn't need their respect. Just come out and it's okay to pass it on the surface.

After lunch was served, Ayu was a little stunned. The table was full of Jiangnan dishes she was familiar with.

Although the queen ordered the imperial chef who was good at Jiangnan cuisine to prepare her meals, it was still different from what she saw in the end.

Seeing that she was holding the chopsticks, Zhou Qi asked in confusion:

"Don't the master like the dishes prepared by the emperor specifically instructed the kitchen?"

Could it be that after living in Beijing for a long time, even the taste has changed? Zhou Qi wondered, but it shouldn't be. Even when she was pregnant, her master still liked Jiangnan cuisine very much.

Ayu lowered her head and said softly: "I don't like it, but suddenly she is a little uncomfortable."

Habits are such a terrible thing.

When she first entered Beijing, she felt something was wrong with eating, but now, looking at the Jiangnan cuisine she used to eating since childhood, she felt a little unfamiliar.

Zhou Qi laughed, held a jade bowl, served her a bowl of ginger lung soup, and said softly:

"I heard before that my master wanted to drink 黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑黑�

Ayu squeezed her fingertips tightly, but she didn't say anything, but just took the soup quietly and finished it bit by bit.

When Zhou Qi wanted to serve her a second bowl, she refused: "No need."

Zhou Qi looked up at her in confusion.

Ayu closed her eyes, shook her head lightly, and said nothing.

After lunch, Ayu had just changed her clothes when she saw the little Eunuch Liu in front of the emperor coming in: "Yu Xiuyi, the emperor is already waiting for you in Anyue Lake."

In this palace, don’t think about the ceremonial guards. The path Xiao Lao Laofu led her to walk on, with shadows swaying trees, blocking the sunlight tightly, but it didn’t feel hot.

Suilingxuan and Wanyue Lake are not far away. It takes about a quarter of an hour to travel, and there are many willow trees standing next to Wanyue Lake.

As soon as Ayu approached, she saw several concubines standing at the bottom of the willow tree. She paused and turned her head and asked Xiao Liuzi with a smile:

"Eunuch Liu, how many people did this emperor invite to visit the lake to enjoy the lotus?"

Xiao Liuzi also saw the person standing there and hurriedly smiled: "As far as I know, there is only Master Yu Xiuyi."

Ayu narrowed her eyes and looked up and down suspiciously.

Although she was indeed favored by the concubines she brought, the emperor rested at her last night, and today she only asked her to travel to the lake alone. This favor seemed a bit too silly.

He was a little confused about his name.

She asked again with confirmation: "Where is Concubine Chen?"

Xiao Liuzi was not easy to answer this, so he just shook his head: "I don't know either."

In the end, Ayu let him go, Zhou Qi helped him walk towards Caifang. When she passed by the willow tree, the concubines turned around to salute her:

"I have seen Yu Xiuyi, Yu Xiuyi'an."

Ayu's cheeks were slightly red, she smiled lightly, and told them to get up with a gentle attitude.

But I kept muttering in my heart, and sure enough, I still couldn't escape.

Seeing that Lu Cairen was among the concubines, Ayu asked in confusion: "What are the sisters doing here?"

Lu Cairen is the highest among them, so she should have replied. Therefore, she took a step forward. Unlike yesterday, she was smiling on her face:

"I'll see the beautiful scenery here, so I'll come and take a look."

After pausing, she asked with curved eyes: "I wonder if I and others have this honor to admire the lotus with Yu Xiuyi?"

The eyes of the other concubines suddenly lit up. Although these girls from aristocratic families usually value the most, sometimes they seem to be very light on this.

Ayu raised her eyebrows lightly, but she didn't believe it. These people would not know that she was attracted by the emperor.

From afar, Ayu saw that there seemed to be movement on the colorful boat. The curtain was lifted from the inside, and a familiar figure walked out from the inside.

But in a moment, Yang De quickly walked over and bowed: "Master Xiuyi, why are you still here? The emperor has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Ayu nodded to him first, and then slowly made things difficult for Lu Cairen:
To be continued...
