As soon as Su Chaoyan saw Su Muyan, he walked quickly with a smile and held out his hand. Su Muyan was flattered for a while. When would her superior sister take the initiative to look at her when she was in Su mansion?

but seeing Su Chaoyan extend her hand, she can't let her face go, and she is also busy extending her hand to meet her. Su Chaoyan takes Su Muyan's hand and asks with concern, "how is your sister getting better?"

Su Mu replied softly, "thank you for your concern. It's no problem for a long time."

"that's good." Su Chaoyan said happily, "I should have come to see you for a long time. According to the rules of the palace, concubines can't come to visit you at will three days before they enter the palace, so as to avoid the emperor's inconvenience. Otherwise, I can't sit here if I listen to my sister's illness." These words even concern and greet people. Su Muyan can't help but feel warm in her heart. After all, she has entered the palace. Even though her identity is low, there are only two of her own in such a big palace. They are blood and flesh relatives, and still have feelings.

with a smile, Su Muyan turns to take Su Chaoyan's hand and says intimately, "what do you say, of course, in the Imperial Palace, the rules are the biggest. What else can I do for you? However, Muyan has just entered the palace. According to reason, it should be Muyan who went to visit her sister. Now she has been troubled by this disease, but she asked her sister to come to see me first. "

these words are also quite appropriate. Su Chao's smile is more brilliant. He beckons to a girl in a bun behind him: "jun'er, take the superior bird's nest that I prepared for the second lady, and the superior donkey hide gelatin that the former Emperor rewarded." This girl was brought into the palace by Su Chaoyan from Su's mansion. In order to show her intimacy, she did not call her concubine Su mu, Yan Mingfei, but called her second daughter.

Su Muyan hurriedly stopped him with his hand: "it's just my sister coming. What else can I take? Twilight Yan just entered the palace. I don't know how to return such a big gift. "

"silly girl!" Su Zhaoyan gently points Su Muyan's forehead with a white finger, and whispers: "these things are nourishing yin and nourishing blood. You just passed the personnel, of course, you should take good care of yourself and take good care of yourself. As long as we can serve the emperor well, it's our blessing. Who wants you to stay? "

hearing this, Su Mu's face turned red. Although he knew that after a conversation just now, it was very unlikely that the emperor would come back to find himself, but it was not easy to say anything more, so he nodded and motioned to jin'er to take it down.

until now, Su Muyan found that she and Su Chaoyan had been standing outside talking. Fang Caisu Chaoyan was so enthusiastic that she was at a loss and forgot to let her into the room. This omission made her more embarrassed. Even in the face of the emperor, she could look calm and calm, but in the face of the elder sister who had killed her since she was a child, she always felt inferior for no reason, which led to confusion and tension in her actions.

he quickly let Su Chaoyan into the room and ordered someone to serve tea. Su Chaoyan took a sip and frowned without trace. Although he didn't say anything, he never touched the tea again. After chatting for a while, she asked about her parents' situation. In fact, according to the rules of the palace, female families above the chief concubine can apply to hand over the sign to the palace on the 15th day of each month. Wang's family is not as beautiful at home as before, so she is depressed. She has to go to the palace almost every month to complain to her daughter. Su Chaoyan's heart is similar to mingjinger's I don't need to ask, but we have nothing to say.

at the end of the family talk, Su Chaoyan asked unintentionally, "I heard that the emperor was here just now?"

Su Mu's face moved. Her elder sister was indeed the first chair in the palace. The news was fast, but she didn't mind very much. She naturally replied: "yes, the emperor said that he planned to go to her. He passed by me by the way and thought of my illness. He came in and walked away after a look."

"so it is." Su Chaoyan smiles and nods, but her heart is tangled. Su Muyan can't hear that this is the emperor's excuse, but she can't hear that after two years in the palace. Since the emperor came to power, in addition to the pressure of the Empress Dowager and the ministers, he has taken five chief concubines, and one of the lower concubines has also been confiscated. The first Ming concubines among the five chief concubines was a maid who grew up watching the emperor. She was more than ten years old.

it is said that when the emperor was young but not in charge, he almost died several times. Thanks to the vigilance and loyalty of the palace maid, she was able to help the emperor escape the disaster again and again. After overthrowing Cui Jingqin's power, the emperor immediately accepted her as the princess of the Ming Dynasty. All the food and drink expenses, if any, were not rejected once. However, the palace maid also has a very ambitious younger brother, who has excellent martial arts and more or less common books. The emperor soon promoted him to be the Zhonglang General of longwuwei, the capital's defense, and is very important. Maybe it was because the palace maid hit the bottom. The Emperor gave her so many blessings at a time, but she couldn't bear it. After being a concubine of Taiping for several years, a cold came down last year, but she died inexplicably. The emperor was also sad for a long time. The Empress Dowager forced the position of the princess for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to supplement.

although there are five imperial concubines in the Imperial Palace, they are in vain, because the emperor rarely comes here. Su Chaoyan has been in the palace for two years, and she won the emperor's favor no more than two slaps on the night of marriage. She is the same, let alone the other concubines. It's not easy for the Empress Dowager to urge the emperor to come here frequently, but suddenly a catastrophe happened. It's really bad for him.

that's not enough. What makes Su Chaoyan uncomfortable is that the emperor is diligent in government affairs. He never came to the harem after the first watch. But now, as soon as Su Muyan enters the harem, the emperor runs in the daytime. If she can't see the difference, the eyes should be dug and fed to the dog.

reluctantly maintaining the smile on his face, Su Chaoyan asked again, "since the emperor said that he would go to my place, why didn't I meet him on the way I just came here?"

Su Mu's face was a little embarrassed: "it's all because of his bad face. He said something inappropriate and made the emperor angry. The emperor was angry and went back to the Royal study directly."

"that's right." The smile on Su Chao's face was even more reluctant. The emperor she saw was always calm and graceful. No matter what happened, it always gave people a feeling of having confidence and controlling the world with one hand. When did he ever see his mood out of control? But Su Muyan's words made the emperor angry. Two days ago, she heard that the father-in-law she knew said that on the night of marriage, the emperor was very alarmed and called the royal doctor. She thought that the father-in-law was exaggerating. But now, is it true?

Zizai carefully looks at Su Muyan. In Su Chaoyan's heart, her slave's younger sister, although she also looks like one or two points of beauty, is not as bright as her own, shining, and far less generous and decent. However, why can she attract the emperor's attention?

I think of a few words from the eunuch's mouth. On the night of marriage, the room seemed to hear the sound of struggle. At that time, she snorted scornfully. She thought that Su Muyan was ignorant. She had married the emperor and even pretended to be pure. Now I think again, but I think this younger sister is so skillful. The emperor is used to being gentle and considerate to him He Shun's obedient concubine, isn't this struggle just the opposite way and just aroused his interest?

Su Muyan was not comfortable when she was seen by her elder sister, so she asked carefully, "is elder sister angry with me?"

Su Chaoyan suddenly woke up and smiled in a disguised way: "how can I be angry with my sister for such a small thing? I just found that she is more beautiful than when she was in the house."

Su Muyan knew that there must be something in Su Chaoyan's heart, but it was not easy to explain, so he smiled and didn't speak.

Su Chaoyan said again, "my sister has been in the palace for three days. Haven't you met the Empress Dowager yet?"

Su Mu nodded: "well, I catch up with the disease as soon as I enter the palace. I haven't seen the queen mother yet."

"my sister is going to CI Ning palace. If she is not in any serious trouble, I'd better go with her."

Su Muyan thinks that she is also idle in this palace. Since she has nothing to do with her body, she can't lack etiquette. It's hard to be upset when she goes to see her alone. Su Chaoyan is with her. After all, she has been in the palace for two years. If there's anything wrong, she can help herself. Then she nodded and asked, "I just entered the palace at dusk. I don't know the rules of the palace, but I can't go to see the Empress Dowager for the first time without empty hands. My sister helps me think about what I should send?"

Su Chaoyan was shocked and asked, "what do you have here?"

"it's just some antique jewelry from the dowry, and one or two embroidered pieces that are collected at home. The Empress Dowager of those antique jewelry can't see it. Her sister's embroidery work is not really excellent, so it's hard."

"so..." Su Chaoyan thought for a long time, and suddenly said to herself in a languid tone, "what does the queen like?"

"master, how can you forget?" The girl named jun'er started to pick up the conversation.

"what did you forget?" Su Chaoyan really forgot something.

"frozen plum soup, of course." Jun'er smiled innocuously. "The master forgot that the Empress Dowager's body is partial to fire. She is most afraid of heat. Every summer, she must prepare more things to quench her summer heat and thirst. You see it's hot today. I want to say that the second young lady doesn't need to bring anything of value and effort at all. She just needs to bring a good sour plum soup to ensure the Empress Dowager's happiness."

Su Chaoyan tapped her head gently, "Oh, how can I really forget this?" Holding Su Muyan's hand, he said: "if this slave didn't remind me, my sister really forgot such a simple and appropriate thing. Jun'er is right. My sister only needs to prepare a cup of sour plum soup."

"OK?" Su Muyan hesitated. "Is it too light?"

"silly sister, you don't understand that." Su Chao's face was bright with a smile: "what is there in the palace courtyard? Those things you sent are not rare for a long time. You have to pay attention to a person's heart when sending gifts here. Although sour plum soup is a small thing, it is taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's preference
