The black-bellied concubine is not favored

Chapter 486 Welcome the Dragon Boat Festival

In the next few days, Mu Tianxue was very leisurely. Since Lan Yi hinted at that day, she didn't come to Nianxue Pavilion to pay her respects even after a month. Presumably, she didn't want Long Chen to hate her even more. So far, she has never appeared in Nianxue Pavilion.

This also made Mu Tianxue feel much refreshed. At other times, she either accompanied Long Chenyi to review the memorials in the inner hall, or practiced playing the piano in the yard. When she was in Crouching Dragon Villa, Long Chen also specially invited a luthier for her. He doesn't say he knows the piano very well, but he also has a little bit of it.

Now, she has both the Jiuyin Mingqin and the Jiuyin Mingqin in her hands, and she can practice the score when she has nothing to do. As long as she doesn't use her internal strength while playing the piano, she won't be backlashed by the Jiuyinmingqin.

In order to get a better driver's license to play the nine-tone qin and not be backlashed by it, Lanyi and Luyi often compete with her during the day, and at night, Long Chen will also teach her the art and pass on her inner skills to improve her. internal force.

She already had the talent to practice martial arts, and her comprehension was very high. In just a few days, her skill increased rapidly, and her skill was even better than before. In time, she could completely control the nine-tone harp without being harmed.

In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival was ushered in, and the palace set up a banquet for the emperor and ministers to share the festive season. The ladies and eunuchs were very busy, and the Nianxue Pavilion was decorated from inside to outside, from top to bottom.

As the three maids in Nianxue Pavilion, Qingzhu, Hongshao and Xie Yunlu are very busy. In the yard, mugwort leaves are burned, calamus water is placed, rice washing water is placed, and mugwort is tied into a tiger shape. Colored paper is cut into small tigers and hung on the courtyard gate and windows to ward off evil spirits and witches.

Mu Tianxue woke up very early in the morning, stretching her waist and doing morning exercises in the yard. Lan Yi has been a partner trainer these days and she has been doing aerobic and anaerobic exercises.

Green bamboo burns mugwort incense in a corner of the yard, sprinkles rice water and calamus water, red peony is tied into a tiger shape in front of the stone table, and mugwort leaves are put into colorful sachets to make it. Xie Yunlu is making colorful ropes for longevity.

Mu Tianxue looked at the busy three people, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch. A few days ago, the three of them had been busy dispelling the stale air from Nianxue Pavilion, and they have been busy until now. Ribbons and wormwood, she was speechless, not to mention, she hated the smell of wormwood.

At this time, Hong Shao came to Mu Tianxue with the prepared five-color sachet and multicolored silk, and hung the sachet on Mu Tianxue's waist. Mu Tianxue hurriedly took a few steps back as if avoiding ghosts "Hong Shao, what are you doing, I don't wear that thing, it smells so bad."

"Ma'am, this is an exorcism sachet. The smell of wormwood is so fragrant, why is it so bad?" Hong Shao took the sachet to her nose and smelled it, and looked at Mu Tianxue with her big watery eyes. Said: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the empress must wear a talisman to ward off evil spirits. This sachet is embroidered with red peony one stitch at a time. It can prevent insects and mosquitoes. Your empress should wear it for a few days!"

Mu Tianxue stroked her forehead, pointed to the multicolored silk in her other hand and said, "You won't wear such childish things for me too!"

The rope made of colorful threads is something that little kids carry in modern times, and it really made her quite speechless to ask her to wear such a vulgar rope.

"Your Majesty, on May [-]th, the arms should be tied with colored silk. This is also called a long-lived thread. One life-continuing thread, one life-soldiering thread, one five-color thread, and one Zhu Suo. Armies and ghosts are destined to be immortal." Disease plague" Hong Shao walked a few steps towards Mu Tianxue and continued: "This colored silk has the supernatural power to resist ghosts and eliminate disasters."

"Pfft!!" Mu Tianxue was speechless and asked the sky, a colorful rope that is so common, said it was like a fetish that would remove all evils and eliminate all disasters. It is really not an ordinary trouble to celebrate a festival in ancient times.

"Master Xue, you will go to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Hui later. When the Empress Dowager sees that you are not wearing an evil sachet, she will definitely reward you. You might as well put it on now." Lan Yi stretched her neck Said.

"That's right, Master Xue, you have to wear it sooner or later." Luyi led the case and summer thin clothes into the yard and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has distributed the sachets and multicolored silk."

Mu Tianxue took a look at what Lvyi had brought back, and went straight up to take the bag of heavy silver in his hand, filled it up, and then took the sachet and five-colored bag from Hongshao. into the sleeves, "Well, I see, I'll wear it later, the weight of this silver is quite heavy, why is it so little?"

"Mother, it's not silver, it's gold." Luyi shook her head with a smile, and put the summer clothes in her hand on the table under the cherry blossom tree.

"Gold!" Mu Tianxue's eyes lit up, and she opened the purse to see the golden gold imprinted in her eyes, no wonder it is so heavy, the salary of being a queen is really high, there are at least a few hundred taels of gold in the purse .

The green clothes walked up to Mu Tianxue and said: "Today, all the ministers of the court will bring their female relatives to the palace to have a banquet. Now, the imperial garden has been used as a resting place for the courtiers' female relatives. The master sent an order. If Master Xue doesn't like it, don't come Go promise."

Mu Tianxue put away the gold, squinted her phoenix eyes to look at the sky, turned around and walked towards the inner hall, "Dress up for me quickly, and greet the queen mother and the concubine, let's go out and have fun."

An hour later, Mu Tianxue dressed appropriately, and went to the Taiye Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. Coincidentally, Concubine Hui was also there, and of course Lian Yue was also indispensable. , so he left first because he was unwell.

After returning to Nianxue Pavilion, Qingzhu removed her make-up, while she changed into men's attire, led Lan Yi and Lu Yi and ran out of the palace quietly.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the outside of the palace is much more lively than the inside of the palace, and those famous ladies want to go to the palace for a banquet with thousands of dollars worth of money. She doesn't like the lifeless and uniform banquets in the palace.

The streets of the capital are covered with big red cages. It was still early and the streets were already bustling with bustle and bustle. There were hawkers lining up stalls, some acrobats, and children playing in new clothes. It was very lively.

"Master Xue, you ran out even after breakfast was useless. If the master found out, he would definitely strangle Lan Yi to death." Lan Yi accompanied Mu Tianxue and said in a soft voice.

Mu Tianxue knocked on Lan Yi's head with her fan persistently, "I will take you to breakfast now" and said, dragging Lan Yi and Lu Yi to a shop selling buns, "Boss, here are some steamed stuffed buns."

"My lord, sit inside. There are seats in the small shop. Not only can you buy steamed buns, but you can also buy Lanyu soup, which is a must-eat for the Dragon Boat Festival." The steamed bun seller welcomed Mu Tianxue and the others with a flattering smile. past.

"Alright, if you have any special snacks, bring them all to me." Mu Tianxue walked into the steamed stuffed bun shop with her head held high, shaking her ink fan.

Lan Yi and Lu Yi opened their eyes wide and glanced at the greasy steamed stuffed bun shop, then looked at Mu Tianxue's chic back, and quickly chased after her, "Master Xue, let's change places, this shop is small and not clean, in case What can I do if my stomach is damaged after eating.”
