The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 253

"I'm just saying a few fair words for my brother-in-law based on his temperament. I don't want to cause people to misunderstand. As for the facts, I'm not at the scene, so I can't say much. But since it happened outside, someone else must have seen it." ? Who is right and who is wrong, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed."

Xiaomi Ying was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no trace of fear on her face, so angry that Jiu Lian was about to get angry when she stood up.When everyone was hesitating whether to say a few words of comfort, a palace maid suddenly came over and reported, "Masters, please move to the garden. The imperial concubine is about to get up!"

Everyone hurriedly surrounded Princess Jiulian and said with a smile, "Let's go, Princess, let's go to enjoy the flowers first!"

"That's right. I took a look just now. The craftsmen in the inner prison are really good. The fake flowers glued to the tree are just like the real ones. If there were bees, I'm afraid they would all fly to collect honey."

The little princess was so curious, and ran out first after hearing this, as if in the blink of an eye, Xiaomi was the only one left in the room.

Xiaomi secretly rolled his eyes, these noble girls are naive enough, no different from those girls in the previous life who would always isolate a classmate.However, it would be a mistake to think that this would make her sad.She came to the palace not to make friends with anyone at all, so naturally she doesn't have to care about such a small trick.

Nanny Dao and Aunt Han were standing outside the door, and just now they heard a little movement in the room, seeing that the master was the last one to come out, she hurried forward and asked cautiously, "Girl, were you bullied just now?"

"No, Mammy don't worry." Xiaomi shook her head with a smile, "It's just a few little girls who lost face with big brother and want to make amends with me. Unfortunately, I'm not easy to bully, so they were disappointed. "

Mother Dao heard it funny, but seeing that Xiaomi looked good, she led her into the imperial garden, and said, "Before going out, the old lady told you not to be afraid and not to be wronged."

"Okay, with the support of my godmother and elder brother, no one dares to bully me."

Xiaomi smiled and stuck out her tongue, chatting with Nanny Dao, she didn't have the slightest arrogance and dignity of the other noble ladies, so the big palace lady who took a few steps to lead the way couldn't help but glance at her again and again.

It is said that Mrs. Tie in Zhennan Hou's Mansion has a weird temper and is as difficult to get along with as ice for thousands of years. I don't want her adopted daughter to be so kind and kind.

In the imperial garden, in the quaint and majestic octagonal pavilion, the surroundings are covered with white gauze curtains, which sway with the wind, giving it the ethereal and ethereal feel of a fairy house.In the pavilion, there are only a few tables, behind which are covered with thick fur and brocade cushions, and six large screens with sandalwood bases, landscapes, flowers and birds are spread on the backs.

Around the pavilion, there are pots of peach blossoms.The gardener is really a good handicraft. The small peach pillars fell into the blue and white porcelain pot surrounded by one person. The delicate branches are half of small buds and half of newly bloomed flowers.Or light scarlet, or light red, or pink and white, trembling gently in the early spring wind, three points of shyness, seven points of curiosity...

There are two rows of tables outside the pavilion, which are complete with tea, snacks, and candied fruits. There are also brocade cushions behind the tables, but they are not as luxurious and comprehensive as in the pavilion.

Xiaomi bears the name of the adopted daughter of Zhennan Houfu, so it stands to reason that she should be in the middle and front, but during the bickering just now, the noble ladies pushed her out intentionally or unintentionally, and when she arrived, there was only the end left. One of the cases is still empty.

She didn't pick and choose, Shi Shiran sat down.Originally, when she entered the palace this time, she had no intention of currying favor with the concubine, and it would be all right if she got closer to the front. It would be better to sit far away and move freely. Maybe she could find an opportunity to find Feng Jian, or find someone to give him a message.

Although the ladies were joking and gossiping on the surface, they actually did not leave the corners of their eyes from Xiaomi's side. Seeing her like this, she was not noisy, and felt powerless as if she had been hit by a fist.

Jiulian was even more annoyed, and when she was still trying to find fault, Su Guifei finally brought Princess Minhui to the stage.

Everyone stood up and saluted to greet her. Xiaomi lowered her head and saw the tail of the beautifully embroidered long skirt slowly sliding down the corridor paved with white marble.The sun shone on the strands of gold thread, which made her speechless in amazement.No wonder all women dream of entering the palace and becoming a concubine. Who wouldn't like such a luxurious dress?
After a long while, I heard a soft and pleasant voice, and said with a smile, "Get up and sit down."

Then everyone straightened up and responded in unison, "Thank you, Concubine Gui."

Xiaomi mouth-shaped, but his eyes sneaked into the pavilion.Concubine Su Gui is really as beautiful as the rumors. Although she is over [-] years old now, her skin is fair, not inferior to any girl in her [-]s and [-]s. Even because of the preference of the years, her eyebrows and eyes are more mature, which is even more confusing.Her head of black hair is very smooth and shiny, and she wears a complicated bun of hundreds of flowers, but she doesn't have too many hair accessories. Except for a few pearl hairpins for fixing, there is only one golden phoenix hairpin, with a string of black pearls in its mouth, and a bunch of black pearls. Each of them was as big as a thumbnail, round and lustrous, and shone with a faint light, making her mysterious and noble even more.

Compared with ordinary girls, Princess Minhui was more heroic in her eyebrows and eyes. She was wearing an ivory palace dress, a small stand-up collar, and light blue cuffs. It was not luxurious, but more elegant.

Xiaomi wanted to take a few more glances, but when she was looking for someone's resemblance in Princess Minhui, Nanny Dao tugged at her sleeve.

She quickly looked away and sat down.

But after sitting down, she discovered that the mistresses of the various families also followed the imperial concubine to the garden just now.

After each case, the noble ladies who were a little bit off before all sat obediently behind their respective mothers, wishing for a different person, all of them looked dignified and gentle.

The imperial concubine nodded and signaled the maids to start serving drinks, and said with a smile, "This winter is too dull, the weather is finally good, and the flowers in the conservatory are blooming. The palace is happy for a while, so I toss everyone into the palace to enjoy the flowers together. Don't blame me, everyone!"

"Mother's grace, we are extremely happy to be able to enjoy the peach blossoms in such an early spring, where is there any resentment?"

"That's right, the peach blossoms may have known that the empress is impatient, so they bloomed early. It can be seen that they are all clever!"

"There used to be a legend that a certain empress or concubine could advance the flowering period regardless of the four seasons. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid she is also a flower order fairy in the sky. Peach Blossom has received her order."

The mistresses of each family are not comparable to the young ladies, and they flattered, not at all rude and funny, and sure enough, the imperial concubines laughed even more happily.

"It's not like what you said, I'm afraid that Taohua heard the girls from various families shouting that they are bored, so they deliberately held a meeting early, and gave them a reason to come out and have a walk."

Jiu Lian often walked around the princess' mansion, and followed her into the palace a few times. She was no stranger to the imperial concubine. She saw that her mother was not on the stage, and she couldn't speak up, so she hurriedly said, "My lady is so wise." , How can you guess what the courtiers are thinking? It is cold in winter, and you can freeze into a snowman if you go out and walk around. Now that spring is here, the courtiers really want to go out in a dream."

The little princess also responded innocently with a smile, "Yes, ma'am, I have long wanted to go out and play."

The eldest princess next to her was holding a tea bowl, she put it down when she heard this, and said angrily, "This child actually sued me for being tricky in front of the empress? You, if you plead with the empress for the rest of your life It’s all right to live in the palace, if you go back to the mansion with this palace, hmph, the family law will take care of you!”

"Oh, mother, I dare not."

The little princess hugged her mother's arm and quickly acted like a baby, making everyone laugh.

The imperial concubine even took a picture of Princess Huimin next to her, and said regretfully, "If Huimin is half as lively as the little princess, life in this palace will be much more lively."

"Oh, my lord, the princess is so smart, we are so envious that our eyes turn red. If the girl in the family can be as smart as the princess, I'm afraid my wife can wake up laughing when she sleeps."

The rest of the women also laughed and echoed, as if the stars were holding the moon, and the noble ladies also acted like a baby in response to the occasion.For a while, the warbler and swallows were singing inside and outside the pavilion, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, which really smelled like spring.

Xiaomi was sitting alone, and Xiaomi didn't want to speak rashly, so he just smiled and listened to the excitement.She secretly hoped that the banquet would start quickly and everyone would move around, so she could find a chance.

Although Jiulian was joking, she didn't forget the hatred she had just been humiliated.So, as soon as the imperial concubine picked up the wine bowl and opened the banquet, she quickly suggested with a smile, "My lady, drinking like this is really boring. Since it's for viewing flowers, why don't we pass the flowers by drumming, and the sister who won the lottery writes a poem. How? If you can't do it, you will be fined three glasses of wine!"

"Oh, that's fine, Madam, allow us to play around for a while!"

"Your Majesty is the master, and no one is afraid of cheating and avoiding laziness!"

The girls were all overjoyed, chirping and begging the imperial concubine to agree.

When a noble concubine entertains guests, she naturally hopes that the guests and hosts will have a good time.The small flower order was harmless and lively, so he said, "Okay, I can't be the master of this order for nothing. Just a few days ago, the tribute from Jiangnan arrived with a few bolts of pearl silk, so I took it to be the head of the lottery. Who If the poem is well done, I will take one home.”

"Thank you madam!"

"If I had known that the empress would be so rewarding, I would have written a few poems at home in advance."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but the eunuchs of the palace gate were busy. How many of the servants in the palace were not mature, they were already ready for the masters to use.The cowhide drum with red lacquer and gold trim, the shelf of huanghuali, and the flower ball tied with red silk were delivered to the banquet almost in the blink of an eye.

After a while, four bolts of pearl silk were also brought over by the maid holding both hands.

Pearl silk is produced in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Perhaps it is because the mulberry trees are different. After the silkworms eat them, they cocoon and spin silk. The silk threads are moist and elastic, and when woven into silk cloth, it is naturally delicate and moist like pearls, hence the name.There are only eight horses a year, and they are paid tribute to the palace.This time the imperial concubine made four horses, which shows her grandeur and also shows the emperor's love for her.

The mistresses of various families are not able to join due to their identities, but the noble ladies are eager to try, planning to get a piece of pearl silk back. This is not only a piece of silk, but also a good opportunity to become famous in Kyoto and even the world.
