Pingcheng ushered in its true severe winter, with the north wind whistling and heavy snow flying all day long.

Everyone was trapped in the house, and rarely walked around.

At noon that day, Luo Jia retreated to the court and returned to the main hall.

When he walked to the imperial garden, he saw that the magnolia trees inside were still bare and showed no sign of blooming. He loved this kind of flower very much.

"Why is the magnolia not blooming this year?"

The little eunuch Xiaohan returned: "Your Majesty, it's not yet the flowering season. In another half a month, it may be blooming."

Xiao Jiong also said: "Your Majesty wants to appreciate the flowers? I will accompany you to see. Your Majesty, don't look at this cold winter month, there are several kinds of flowers in the imperial garden, it's really this season."

He was intrigued: "I was just about to go and see. Xiaohan, go back and invite the Empress to come and enjoy the flowers."

"yes."

Xiaohan was about to leave, but he thought: "Forget it, it's too cold. I glanced at it and went back. I'll come with the queen after lunch."

He looked casually and found that the winter garden was very depressed, with only some early varieties of wintersweet, but they were still buds, exuding a faint fragrance.

"Your Majesty, which big cloak will I give you when I go back? It's too strong."

"Forget it, go back, there's nothing good to look at."

He turned around, but heard a burst of laughter. In the imperial garden, a group of palace maids picking wintersweet were fighting and throwing each other with snowmen on each other.

These little palace maids came out from behind, as if chasing each other, making a fuss. A girl hugged a handful of wintersweet, laughing while running, and her voice was like a silver bell.

She ran too fast and hit Luo Jia, and fell down with a oh.

Xiaohan scolded: "You slave, so bold, you actually hit Your Majesty."

She fell to the snow, and it hurt so much. The plum blossoms spread out and some hit her face, making her feel even more embarrassed. She immediately flowed out and knelt on the ground: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."

Luo Jia didn't care: "It's okay, get up."

She got up, bowed brightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for forgiveing ​​me, I will never dare to do it again next time."

Her eyes were filled with tears, her snow-white face, her snow-white shawl, her face was scratched by the branches of wintersweet, revealing red marks, which were more like a white flower with red stamens added to it.

Even Luo Jia was slightly surprised that this palace maid was so pretty, but she was very unfamiliar. Behind her, there were five or six little palace maids, all holding the boss's handful of wintersweet and kneeling down in a row.

"Oh, where are you palace maids?"

The first little palace maid had a delicate voice, watery, just like a flower bud in early summer, rolling on the lotus leaves: "I am the palace maid of Concubine Zuo Shu."

“How long have you been here?”

"It's been two months."

"May I have your name?"

"Xiaohe."

"Okay, Xiaohe, you guys go back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She raised her head and looked at His Majesty again. She was timid and hugged the wintersweet in her arms tightly. She was as frightened as a little rabbit and hurriedly left. The other little palace maids followed her and left quietly.

"Your Majesty, these palace maids are getting more and more unruly, and they dare to run around in the palace."

"Well, let them go, as long as they are not out of line. Young people should be more lively. Let's go back. Today, the queen will cook and have good things to eat."

His Majesty's figure disappeared, and the little palace maids accelerated their pace, jumped back to their own bedrooms where they served their concubines.

A high furnace was burning with cigarette smoke. Zhang Jieyu wore a white skirt embroidered with ink bamboo, tilted on the chaise longue, and lazily closed her eyes and took a nap.

"Empress, the wintersweet you want."

Xiaopiao came in with a handful of wintersweet, closed the door casually, and put it in the vase, and the room was immediately fragrant. This is Zhang Jieyu’s favorite plum blossom. As long as the flowering period is present, the fragrance will never be lacking in her room.

The large vase for flower arrangement is also a tribute from Xiliang.

She said sadly, thinking about how favored she and Xiao Lian were last year and today? The rewards were endless. Now, every money required the queen to apply for. Of course, she would not make it boring, and she was low-key, and always tolerated it in a low-key manner.

Just as if she didn't exist, she was silently in this palace, just like those lonely and deserted palace maids in the past. She was even worse than the palace maids, and the palace maids were at least bragging and chatting in groups; however, everyone knew that Concubine Zhang was the queen's bone spur, so of course she didn't dare to have close contact with her too much.

The versatile person suddenly found herself alone. Fortunately, the queen never causes any trouble. She wondered, what was the idea of ​​that dead fat ball? Could it be that she really let her go?

it's out of the question!

The dead fat ball must be brewing greater jealousy.

Xiaopiao planted flowers and suddenly turned around: "Empress, Your Majesty has seen her."

"oh?"

"Your Majesty has seen Xiaohe!"

Zhang Jieyu immediately sat upright, and his eyes emitted light: "What is your reaction?"

"Your Majesty asked her name."

"Just ask her one?"

"No, all the other palace maids asked."

"Okay, okay, very good..." A huge smile appeared in the gloomy heart. Your Majesty! He is just a man! It is impossible for men in the world to see a girl like Xiao He indifferent. Just like Xiao Lian at the beginning. Moreover, Xiao He's real skills have not yet been used.

"Empress, I will create another chance for Xiaohe."

"Don't need to be too frequent. Remember, you must not rush to take action this time. Exposing Xiaohe too early will attract the attention of that slut. She is the queen now, so it will be too easy to get rid of Xiaohe. Remember, if it is not the emperor who went to find Xiaohe himself, you must not take any measures. Xiaohe is already my only bargaining chip. It is not so easy to find the beauties in the world."

"Yes, I understand."

Concubine Zhang supported her hands: "There is no news yet?"

"I have already sent the news. According to estimates, it's time to enter the palace these days."

The female relatives of the royal family did not enter the palace if they wanted to visit the palace. The application was approved for two months. It was obviously the same capital, but it was so difficult to meet.

At this moment, I heard a notice outside: "Empress, Madam is here..."

She was overjoyed and immediately stood up to greet her: "Mom."

Mrs. Zhang knelt down: "I've seen the Empress..."

"Mother, please get up, come and prepare refreshments."

The mother and daughter went in hand in hand in love, and Zhang Jieyu stepped back, leaving only the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Zhang first took out a letter from her arms: "Daughter, this is written by your father to you."

After reading this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper: "Mother, Daddy is ready."

"Yes. What we have to do now is to seek help from Lord Yihun. For this reason, we also gave your two concubines to Yihun as concubines."

"Okay, okay, although this pervert Yihun is greedy, he is very influential. Even if His Majesty has never liked him, he has never shaken his status in his early years of fighting in the south and north. Moreover, he is a veteran of the three dynasties, so it is most appropriate for him to come forward."

"Daughter, you must speak up if you need any help. The Zhang family will do their best. Alas, our Zhang family has declined like this."

Zhang Jieyu gritted her teeth and said, "It's all my fault for that damn bitch. If she doesn't die, our Zhang family will never be able to turn over. Mother, don't worry, your daughter has its own qualities. The wealth of the Zhang family is her greatest wish. It doesn't matter to her daughter anymore, but it's the Zhang family."

Only when the Zhang family is stable can one be stable, and vice versa.
