Inheritance policy

Chapter 164 Camellia

Empress Fang has been in charge of the harem for more than [-] years, and she has always shown it to everyone with a restrained and solemn posture, not to mention the camellia feast, even the concubines held a chat at the Qushui Liucup, she just enjoyed a few boxes of things.

Even to choose a concubine for the second prince, he had a look at the Pingyang Prince's Mansion first, and finally confirmed three people, and then brought them to Fengyi Palace to see each other.

As soon as the words of appreciating the camellia came out, Empress Fang's uncharacteristic behavior caused an uproar in the whole palace.

After the order from the superior, the people below broke their legs. The steward of the Sixth Division was holding camellias with pink or purple, double or curved petals and asked Fengyi Palace to come to them [-] times a day. Empress Fang didn't have the time to inspect them, so she Let Xing Zhao and Jiang Mingying look at it, and only explained, "Some girls have fair skin, and any color of camellia looks good on their hairpins. Some girls have less fair skin, so you have to choose the color of the pattern."

Not only for viewing flowers, but also for hairpins.
People are high or low, and flowers are high or low. It can’t be that every camellia plant is a famous product like agate tea, pearl tea, and a twist of red, right?

There can be five or six young ladies who come here. There must be some who are worthy of expensive camellias, and there must be some who are worthy of less noble ones. How should they be divided?

In the mid-autumn afternoon, the sky darkened, and after a while, the rain fell down like a curtain.

Huanyi came out of the smog, shuffled his sleeves and lifted his face into the Rose Pavilion, his eyes fixed on the pots of camellias in the middle hall, and he was amazed: "It's beautiful, why not?" Is there any one with a big mouth like Nanshan tea? The flowers are clustered together, and the big ones are very beautiful and taste elegant.

Xing Zhao was holding a brochure to choose flowerpots, looked up and saw Huanyi coming in, greeted her with a smile, first turned his head to discuss with Jiang Mingying: "For the pink ones, use white porcelain patterns, for the white ones, for the yellow ones, use wooden fences, and for the white ones, use red dots How about using celadon flower dendrobium, Auntie?"

Jiang Mingying greeted Huanyi with a smile, and walked out with the brochure.

Xingzhao turned his head and smiled back at Huanyi: "Why do you get hairpins on your temples?" He then asked her to drink tea: "It rains suddenly outside, so I don't worry about getting wet."

Huanyi took a few more glances at the camellia plant with white petals and red dots. These camellias are all in good condition, but this banana calyx white pearl is the most precious, so she smiled and didn't bother to talk about it, "It came out It didn’t rain at that time, and the rain that fell when we walked to the covered bridge was all in the veranda, and we couldn’t get wet on our bodies.”

The words stopped here, and I went through my mind, lowered my voice, and asked softly: "Why did the Empress suddenly think of inviting the little lady to enjoy the flowers? How many years have passed, and this is the first time, for no reason."

Where there is no reason, it is clearly targeted.
Xing Zhao blinked, she couldn't say that Empress Fang made such a big show just to show Xing Jingxiang's wife and wife!

There are civil servants who are greedy and accept bribes, and military officers who hide food and pay privately, but the queen uses her power to look after the little lady for her natal nephew
This was the first time Xing Zhao met, and the admiration for the other queen was once again so deep that it could not be added.

"Perhaps I want to take the opportunity to have fun?" Xing Zhao said haha, "The Ding capital is only so big, and the young lady will not go out of the door, and she will marry someone after she leaves the pavilion. It's too late, it's better to hand over a few handkerchiefs from an early age."

Look at Mrs. Li, she is still complaining about Mrs. He's injustice just thinking of the handkerchief handed over.

"Handkerchiefs, ladies."

Huanyi silently repeated his previous words, and Xingzhao laughed: "There are three little girls in the imperial city, these people come and go, the empress is afraid that we will be lonely."

Huanyi tilted her head, thought for a while, and was noncommittal to Xingzhao's words, but her heart was relieved.

The people in the palace are shrewd. Where the grass falls, they can tell where the wind is blowing today. Everyone is whispering their ears and guessing, saying that Empress Fang is going to be the sixth prince Zhou Shen's concubine. Concubine Shu doesn't think so. Sit down and calmly give the sixth son a detailed analysis of "I will marry you a daughter-in-law, can you tell me? How many years have I been with the queen, and how much is the friendship between the concubine Wang and the queen? When the second prince saw the concubine, even the concubine Wang They all went to Fengyi Hall to have a look. If the Empress wants to show you, can you tell Chonghua Palace?"

The sixth son lost his temper in front of Concubine Shu, but he stuffed a red agate pomegranate flower ornament behind her back and asked her to come over and have a look.

If he was really worried about the sixth child, how could Xing Zhao not tell her clearly?
After finishing her career, Huanyi accepted the decoration with peace of mind, and after delivering the letter to the sixth prince, she waited for the camellia banquet on the eighth day of October with peace of mind.

The rain came quickly and poured down. It rained at night for several days, but it cleared up in the morning. When I got up early in the morning, the mist could not be dispersed. cheese.

On the right day, Xing Zhao woke up early, ate two pieces of emerald crisps, drank a big bowl of cheese, and ordered a bowl of vegetarian three fresh silver noodles.Huang's mother smiled happily, and followed Xingzhao's buttocks with a bowl of egg custard stewed with bamboo fungus, yam puree, and cucumber cubes, and urged: "Eating a few bites of egg custard won't hurt anything! Go to Mrs. Min Tai In the letter, Mrs. Hou secretly stuffed pieces of beef into the mouth of the Min family lady!"

Most of the banquets in the palace were not enough to eat, so Xing Zhao used more than usual, and he would be able to refresh himself after a while.

Empress Fang was worried that the little lady would not grow up if she didn't eat meat for three years, so she let go and quietly asked people to add some eggs to the meal.

Xing Zhao couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

After all, after two lifetimes, Huang's mother followed her like an old hen. Xing Zhao, who was trying on clothes, felt embarrassed at the time. Mom, lower your head and walk out quickly.

Ms. Huang couldn't follow her out with the egg custard. She leaned on the door frame and looked at the little lady's back. grown up."

Despite the hardships and hardships, I am growing up slowly after all.

The little palace man behind covered her mouth and giggled, Mama Huang turned her head and stared at her solemnly, but she didn't hold back, and turned her smile halfway: "It's cheap for you little girl! Take it and eat it!"

The road from Guiyi Pavilion to the main hall is not long, but the journey along the way is very pleasing to the eye.

Beside the veranda is a small room with a bluestone fence, in which green grass is planted and pressed down with small stones. The verandah is covered with a curtain of blue sky and clouds, either embroidered with double stalks of hibiscus, or against the backdrop of today's embroidery. A few flowers of Nanshan tea with a large bowl mouth, or a few waves of water patterns embroidered in three strokes or two strokes, are not useful for blocking the wind, just a good-looking picture.

The heart moved with the scene, and Xing Zhao couldn't stop laughing as soon as he entered the main hall. Empress Fang took a second look, her expression relaxed, and she said a few words, "Miss Luo's family is two years older than you. She is very delicate, you have to pay attention.", "The eldest daughter of the Lingyi County public is a bit big, if someone laughs at you, you have to help out." "They are all precious palms, whoever falls Decadent, our master has no face, and being slick in all directions sounds bad, but long-sleeved and good at dancing is always a good word."

The wife of the Luo family is the eldest daughter of a newcomer to Ge Luo Ge. The Luo family is a dignified and dignified family with a family of poems and books, and its roots are deeply rooted in Rongcheng, Sichuan and Shu.The old Luo Ge entered the central cabinet, and the direct branch of the Luo family moved to Beijing, which is very similar to the situation of the Fang family.

Today, Empress Fang mostly invites young ladies from civil servant families, or clan and royal relatives. There are no old-fashioned noble families and no military generals.

After her birthday on July [-]th, Empress Fang changed her way of entertaining and teaching, and turned it into being unreasonable and directly keeping homework. Empress Fang threw a list of assignments to Xing Zhao to ponder, and Xing Zhao honestly inquired about the schoolwork. The wife's family background, the next day she replied to Queen Fang, "The noble family and the He family are deeply involved. If my brother wants to establish his own family, this congratulation is not the other congratulation. Those who miss the old love are all about Lin'an Hou's old relationship, look at Yang Mingbo as the son of Lin'an Hou, and he will never stop this relationship for the rest of his life. My brother has a complicated background, he has both the blood of the Fang family and the relatives of the He family, and he is backed by a family of military generals. Little lady, the future may be icing on the cake, but it may also cause suspicion of celebrities. The noble family is very good. Standing upright and unbiased, you have a lot of energy, you can inherit the family tradition from the outside, and you can give assistance from the palm of your hand. An elder brother can teach his children and grandchildren well.”

The more time passed, the more she felt that the most important thing was to educate her children and grandchildren. At that time, people valued the ancestral hall family, and it was nothing if one generation prospered. Only when three generations prospered, could this surname stand.

The bloody road that brother had worked so hard to create couldn't be cut off by an unreliable woman.

The curtain moved slightly, because there was a wind passing through the hall, and through the cracks, you could vaguely see the strong and colorful continuous camellia. Xing Zhao buried his head and blew away the foam on the yellow-brown tea soup, looking at the water with blurred brows and eyes I puffed up my cheeks and blew lightly.

The face immediately became fragmented.

Both she and Queen Fang just think that Xing Jing is better with such a woman. Who ever asked Xing Jing if he likes such a woman?

The tea foam slowly gathered back inside again, Xing Zhao smiled, whether life and death, honor or disgrace, or beauty and love is more important, the answer is different in everyone's heart.

Before Xing Zhao sat in his seat, someone came with his companions. Jiang Mingying went out to greet him, and it was Fang Qi's wife Xing Shi, Mrs. Luo and the little lady of the Luo family who walked in with the curtain lifted. Xing Zhao stood up and greeted him , and glanced at the Luo family's wife.

Her face is snow-white, her brows are deep and her lips are red, her small appearance has not yet grown, but she can already see the appearance of a beauty, but the corners of her lips are tightly pursed, and her brows are high, which makes her look a little arrogant.

Looking at Mrs. Luo again, Zhuang Qing's soft satin cotton padded jacket and dark blue hem skirt are elegantly dressed, with a respectful expression and proper behavior.

Mrs. Luo should be more arrogant. She comes from a good background, has a good mother, and is the eldest daughter. Such a woman has the capital to be arrogant, but such arrogance makes people take it for granted.
