The April wind blows by with a slight warmth. Yanfu Palace is now full of bright red, with scattered peach blossoms blooming. The petals fall with the breeze, and the air emits an intoxicating fragrance of flowers. Not far away, on the pavilion with glazed green tiles, the sound of the piano and zither is faintly heard. The music is singing with the sound of strings, and the gentle and moving voices of women sing sad songs.

The woman still called out a white dress, but there was a little more peachy. When the last step of the high string stopped, her slender hands gently covered her trembling body. She raised her head and looked in front of her eyes. A woman in a purple dress in a stunning purple dress stood under the eaves of the corridor, dragging the hem of the skirt. The woman in the white dress stood up to greet her, and greeted her, "Shi Shi has met her sister."

A faint smile passed through Helian Ruxin's stunning face. She helped her and said, "Concubine Shu is the same as hers. You must not be able to perform this etiquette, so as not to mess up the rules in the palace, otherwise the Empress Dowager will not look good."

Li Shishi's eyes frown like a warm breeze, then shook her head and said lightly: "This ceremony is what my sister treats her sister, and it has nothing to do with the etiquette in the palace."

"This little mouth is so good at talking."

Helian Ruxin walked gently and walked with the other party two steps, brushing the huqin placed at the same time, fiddling the strings with his fingertips, "No wonder he was fascinated by the official family. Not only could my sister say it, but her piano skills were also moving to everyone. But she didn't know-"

She approached her and asked softly, "But I don't know, who is my sister missing?"

"Shi Shi naturally misses Your Majesty." Li Shishi's heart suddenly broke out, as if he had been guessed by someone, but he was good at the place of fireworks. For such things, he was not slow to react. "The official family is usually diligent in political affairs, and Shishi sees it in his eyes and hurts it in his heart. Shishi cannot help, so he has to play the piano here to express his sorrow."

Helian Ruxin glanced over and walked out slowly, his tone full of sharp tone, "That's good. It seems that you brother and sister are really amazing. One stands out from the court to grasp the important yamen, and the other stands in the back court and is very pleased by the government. However, I still want to remind my sister that people will grow old and things will die. The warmth and warmth of the people in this palace come quickly and go quickly. Sister, be careful."

"Shi Shi thanked my sister for her teachings." Li Shi Shi Shi sent her to the stone steps at the entrance of the Tingkou, and Yingying said: "My righteous brother was born and died in the official family, and he was very trusted by His Majesty. However, he was narrow-minded. If there were any gaps in the past, he would definitely take revenge. I hope my sister will take more responsibility."

The two of them talked endlessly, warm and lovely, but they were also tit-for-tat. The palace maids and eunuchs around couldn't help but lower their heads one by one and dared not look directly at them.

Helian Ruxin snorted coldly, still smiling, "Okay, I will take more responsibility..."

She wanted to say something more, but then she was slightly stunned. At this time, at the end of the eaves, several people were walking by. The man in the leader was handsome and handsome, with a short beard under his chin, and was talking about the topic with a slightly older person on his right. The man was tall and big, with a slightly rough skin. He looked like a man from the army, with his legs steady and powerful, and his words were quite as good as a general.

Recently, Helian Ruxin and Li Shishi hurried over to greet each other, "I'm paying homage to Your Majesty."

"Why are the two beloved concubines here?" Zhao Ji asked the two girls to get up and asked with a smile in his eyes.

Helian Ruxin smiled charmingly, and bowed slightly and said, "I am here to see Concubine Shu's sister. I am afraid that she will inevitably be lonely if she doesn't have a caring person to speak intimately. It's a coincidence that the official family came to say goodbye to her sister."

"Well...... I am very happy that you sisters live in harmony. If you have something to do, go and do it first." As he said that, Zhao Ji called the person behind him and went to the pavilion, "I will also discuss the Northern Expedition with Shumi Tong."

"Then I will not disturb the government and discuss state affairs." Helian Ruxin was slightly annoyed and slowly retreated.

Li Shishi also asked the eunuch to carry the huqin and leave, "Your Majesty, be busy, Shishi will go under the peach tree to play the zither to add some elegance to Your Majesty and Tong Shumi."

"Ha ha--"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Okay, Shishi, go quickly. I haven't listened to the song for two days, and I'm also thinking a little."

Li Shishi responded with a shy smile, which made Zhao Ji feel itchy. However, someone else was present, so he had to watch someone else get off the pavilion and walk under a peach tree in the pool.

There are peach blossoms trampled there, and there are another petal on the branches, one petal falls down and is blown up by the wind.

The gentle figure stopped and reached out to pick it up, and a petal fell into the palm of the hand.

Li Shishi felt sad, sighed slightly, and then sat down and played the piano.

.........

On the pavilion, the sound of the piano comes from afar.

There was also a lord and a minister there discussing the Northern Expedition, and the court naturally responded in a different way. It was probably because it believed that the drought and the Liangshan incident had a great impact on the Wu Dynasty. Shortly afterwards, the use of wars would damage the emperor's name of benevolence. Moreover, the battle between the Liao people and the Jurchens has not yet been opened. If the savages in the poor mountains and bad waters were defeated, the Wu Dynasty would face the anger of the Liao people.

In recent days, the Northern Expedition was divided into two factions and had disputes. Originally, Zhao Ji was inclined to fight against Yan Yun in the north, but the dispute was apart and he was unsure. Today, most of the negotiations were brought to Tong Guan today.

"It is the overall situation to promote the Northern Expedition. Your Majesty should not listen to those sour scholars and shake their determination." Tong Guan also came to the aft court in his early years. Yuan Zi was weak. After practicing the Vajra Yuan Qigong that Bai Ning had handed him, his body became stronger and stronger, and his thick beard gradually grew under his chin. After that, he served as a military supervisor in the West for many years, becoming more and more powerful.

He spoke naturally with great buzz. "The Grand Chief is now also sweeping away the green forests behind His Majesty's Northern Expedition, which shows that he also supports it. This time, as long as Wang Shaozai sent a missionary to Jurchens, he successfully formed an alliance at sea, and under the attack on both sides, Yan Yun could get it."

"This matter needs to be discussed again."

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "By the way, I have something to tell you. Xiao Ningzi asked me for a prescription in Hangzhou the day before yesterday, which could be prepared with medicines that prolong life. Does Tong Shumi think this matter is credible?"

"This... I dare not guess whether the prescription is true." Tong Guan said: "But as far as the general manager is concerned, like I am a servant of Your Majesty, and he is concerned about His Majesty's affairs. If you say you deceive the official family, you will definitely not."

"I heard before that I was still hesitating. After all, this kind of prescription is a bit vague. Now, after thinking about it, Xiao Ningzi really has no need to deceive me. It seems that the prescription may be true."

Zhao Ji put the teacup on the stone table, "But the prescription was taken away by a group of people in Jiangnan, which is a bit hateful."

"The official family is rich and the people in the world are all Your Majesty's subjects. Your Majesty can just ask for it." Tong Guan moved his finger slightly, knocked his leg on his side, and said, "I am far away from Xichui and said that there are more than 100,000 people in the Ming Cult in Jiangnan. Why not take this opportunity to test it? If you are willing to hand over such a prescription, it means that the other party is just an ordinary sect and you can rest assured about the Northern Expedition. If you don't hand over, hum - it may be said that those people are not minded on preaching."

Zhao Ji's eyes moved to the woman in white dress under the peach tree.

Absent-mindedly "Hmm".

.........

"How is the situation over there?"

"The letters I had communicated the day before yesterday... there was still no change..."

The woman dragging the purple skirt walked under the corridor, looking at the eye-catching redness outside, she couldn't help but think of the woman named Li Shishi before, and frowned, "Those wastes..."

Li Yan buried his head and dared not move.

"If it doesn't work, I will pass on the original instruction to let them go back, and don't show their shame there." Helian Ruxin's beautiful eyes were cold, looking at Taohua, and said, "And... inform Fang La to hand over the prescription and send it to the original. Can he own the treasure?"

Immediately, I took a lotus step and was about to leave. Li Yan quickly stepped forward and followed behind and bowed, "Empress... I have something, Xiao Nanzi wants to report to you."

"explain--"

"There is a man named Li Jinzhong who wants to meet the Empress."

Helian Ruxin stopped and turned to look over, "Let him get out, who can see it at the right time?"

"yes."

Li Yan wiped the cold sweat, bowed and retreated, and then a person flashed out from behind the rockery at Langkou, blocked Li Yan, and smiled flatteringly: "Eunuch Li... Then... what... what does the Empress say?"

"Empress, what can you see? Get out of here?" Li Yan was disgusted. When he saw the culprit, he naturally had no good feelings.

Li Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Then Jinzhong is disturbing. If the Empress remembers me, I hope Eunuch Li will have some good words." As she said that, she stuffed something and put it into the other party's sleeve.

"Well, then our family will be disrespectful."

After receiving other people's gifts, Li Yan's expression changed a lot. He nodded at him and left.

"Father-in-law walked slowly—"

Li Jinzhong watched the other party leave with a smile, and then his smile faded and became colder.

Not long after, he bumped into someone.

"You want to see the eyes of Concubine Ru? Why don't I help you?" The man's voice was crisp, and he could tell that he was a woman.

The figure stood in the shadow, and the sound was as clear as water, stimulating every nerve of the other party, as if a huge and silent dark curtain was covering it. In this palace, the heart of the palace was everywhere...
