The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 412 Strange Flower Ice Moon Snow Lotus
I told them early on that today I must be ingenious in order to win the emperor's favor, Situ Rui even gave them two clothes made of ice silk silk, but they both disliked this color and refused to wear it, so they insisted on wearing it This luxurious color all over his body, after all, is from a humble background, and his eyelids are shallow.

Looking at all the women in Qing'an Palace, except for Liu Ruxin and An Lingsu, even Chen Caiwei wanted to take this opportunity to perform well in front of Situ Rui because she hadn't accepted grace for many days. An orange-pink palace dress, combed with flying fairy temples, with pearls and emeralds falling on it, very luxurious.

As for Liu Ruxin, although she does not have a luxurious body, she has an ordinary appearance and is used to dressing in a simple and elegant manner, so she is not conspicuous among these people.

But An Lingsu is very different, she looks very good, she is dressed like this, even as a woman, she can't take her eyes off her, no wonder Situ Rui, who values ​​women, can't take his eyes off her.

The more Xu Qiushui thought about it, the angrier he became, he frowned and took the lead, "Today is the emperor's birthday, and the imperial concubine's so plain dress is not royally dignified."

Qin Wange replied unhurriedly: "The empress's forgiveness is not because the concubines don't pay attention to etiquette, but because when the clothes newly made by the inner court secretary were delivered, the gold thread came off, and the concubine sent them to the inner court secretary. , and now I haven't made up for the concubine and sent it back, so the concubine has no choice but to wear this outfit."

Hearing this, Situ Rui frowned slightly, and a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Naturally, the Inner Court Secretary did not have the guts to neglect the imperial concubine. Xu Qiushui must have ordered her to take charge of the harem power now.Even if he suspected that An Lingsu had an affair with Situ Yan, and neglected An Lingsu, it was only suspicion after all.Xu Qiushui dared to instruct the Secretary of the Inner Court to do such a thing, he simply didn't take him seriously.

Situ Rui's face became colder, and he ordered: "Susu is the imperial concubine, and the people in the inner court department dare to slack off, Li Deshou, drag the eunuch in charge of the Zhifang Bureau out to beat [-] boards, let him have a long memory! "

As soon as Situ Rui made a sound, Xu Qiushui lost face. On the surface, Situ Rui was punishing Zhifang Bureau, but this was clearly a slap in the face.

The clever court lady had already added a seat for Qin Wange, but the front seat was taken by someone else. Liu Ruxin was about to get up to make way, but Qin Wange shook her head lightly at Liu Ruxin, and then Finally sat down.

"What kind of flower did the imperial concubine bring? It's so strange. Could it be that this potted flower is the birthday gift that the imperial concubine brought to the emperor?" Seeing Xu Qiushui's embarrassing expression, Wu Lianxin hurriedly asked.

Sure enough, as Wu Lianxin's words fell, everyone's eyes were drawn to the flowers Qin Wange brought by Wu Lianxin.

That potted flower looks like a lotus but not a lotus. Although it is planted in a white jade pot, it is not inconspicuous at all.

Even though everyone didn't show it on the surface, they still couldn't help laughing in their hearts. Although this flower looked very unique, it was too shabby as a birthday gift. It's a joke.

Even Situ Rui's expression sank slightly. What he paid attention to was not the value of the birthday gift. Seeing those concubines put all their efforts into the birthday gift in order to please him, this kind of being liked The feeling made Situ Rui enjoy it very much.

But now what Qin Wange sent was just a pot of unremarkable flowers, let alone whether it would be ridiculous to say it, even this was not done to his heart, which made Situ Rui very unhappy.

"The imperial concubine's potted flowers are really unique." Situ Rui said lightly, although he was smiling, everyone present could hear the anger in his words.

Qin Wange lowered his eyes, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

When she favored her before, let alone a pot of flowers, she just gave a handkerchief. Situ Rui was as happy as anything, but now it's fine, because there is another young and beautiful newcomer beside him, and she only gave him a handkerchief. Does a pot of flowers despise Tianwei?
Seeing that Situ Rui already had a displeased expression, Xu Qiushui naturally did not let go of such a good opportunity to make trouble, with a dignified smile on his face, he said gently: "If the imperial concubine's monthly salary is not enough Let me tell Bengong, what does it matter if they are all sisters of my own family? Although it doesn't matter if the imperial concubine's clothes are simple, how can the emperor's birthday gift be so casual? This is related to the royal family's Tianwei."

Liu Qiaoyi on the side saw that the queen put a hat of contempt on the imperial concubine's head, Situ Rui's face was a little ugly, and Liu Qiaoyi was a little worried.

I saw Liu Qiaoyi cast her eyes on Liu Ruxin in the corner, Liu Ruxin was drinking tea lightly in the corner, as if it had nothing to do with her, and there was no worry in her eyes.Noticing the way she was looking, he shook his head lightly at her, stopped her movements with his eyes, seemed to be talking, and waited patiently for a good show.

Seeing Liu Ruxin like this, Liu Qiaoyi had no choice but to restrain her impulse and watch quietly, how can the imperial concubine solve the predicament in front of her?

"Your Majesty, it's not that the concubines are not careful in preparing the birthday gift and despise the power of the sky." Qin Wange kowtowed profusely and pleaded guilty, with a calm expression on his face, "This potted flower is not only worthless, but it is a treasure in the world." It is rare to find a plant with a thousand pieces of gold, and the symbolic meaning of this flower also happens to represent the concubine's heart for the emperor." See
Seeing Qin Wange's sincere expression, Situ Rui raised his eyes and looked at the potted flower in front of him. Even though Situ Rui had been in the palace all these years, he couldn't tell what kind of flower it was. Xie asked, "What exactly is this flower?"

"This flower is called Ice Moon Snow Lotus." Qin Wange said lightly.

"Ice Moon Snow Lotus, I've never heard of it." Situ Rui said curiously.

"Ice Moon Snow Lotus is only born in southern Xinjiang, and there is only one plant in the world. According to the Pharmacopoeia, it almost has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Put this flower in the bedroom, and the fragrance of the flower can soothe the nerves. If you keep it in the bedroom for a long time, then There is no disease to disturb age." Qin Wange said.

Seeing what Qin Wange said, the look of surprise in Situ Rui's eyes replaced the look of anger, and he asked: "This flower is so rare, Susu also has a heart."

"This is just one of the rare features of the Ice Moon Snow Lotus. The Ice Moon Snow Lotus actually originated from a beautiful legend in southern Xinjiang..." Qin Wange said lightly.

Now it's not just Situ Rui who is interested, but Liu Qiaoyi who is on the side has a quick and straightforward personality, so he asked: "What legend, the imperial concubine, tell us quickly."

"The name of the ice-moon snow lotus is taken from a poem in Xiling, 'The hard work is the most pity for the sky and the moon, and the ice and snow are the love'." Legend has it that a warrior in southern Xinjiang fell in love with a beautiful Han girl, and they married. , the husband and wife love each other, but the good times don’t last long, that girl got a strange disease, the warrior tried everything he could but there was nothing he could do about his lover’s illness.”

Qin Wange's voice was gentle and soft, telling this story very vividly: "Before the girl died, she said to her childhood sweetheart, 'Holding your hatred is like the moon in the sky, and you have to give it to me every year'. After the girl died, The warrior buried the girl's body on the back mountain. Not long after, the warrior also died because he missed the girl. The family buried the two together. A few days later, the ice moon was opened on the graveyard of the two. Snow lotus. In addition to its medicinal value, this ice moon snow lotus also symbolizes unswerving love until death."

Qin Wange's voice fell, and Liu Ruxin on the side also said in time: "The concubine has also read about the ice moon snow lotus in ancient books. It is said that the ice moon snow lotus is very difficult to feed, and it must be replaced with rootless snow lotus every day. Only by watering it every day can it take root and sprout. The imperial concubine was able to cultivate such an ice moon snow lotus with her heart."

Situ Rui was already moved by the story Qin Wange told. When Liu Ruxin said this, the displeasure on his face disappeared, and he said with a smile: "I can feel Susu's care for me. Li Deshou, Put this potted flower in the bedroom."

Li Deshou quickly answered yes.

Seeing that Qin Wange was still standing there, Situ Rui frowned again: "Slaves who have no eyesight don't show seats to the imperial concubine."

Even Situ Rui opened his mouth, Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue couldn't be proud of being favored, they both got up together and asked Qin Wange to sit beside Situ Rui.

Xu Qiushui gritted his teeth with hatred, and the smile on his face was already forced.

She suppressed An Lingsu for such a long time, but at the birthday banquet, she turned the tide with just a pot of flowers and a few words.What a waste of raising those two trash!
She gave Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue a hard look.

Chen Caiwei saw Qin Wange sitting beside Situ Rui with an intimate manner, while Xu Qiushui's face was full of anger, she brewed for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, all the sisters and sisters are here on such a beautiful day, how about we help poetry how?"

As soon as Chen Caiwei's words came out, everyone looked at Qin Wange.

Almost all the women here are from aristocratic families.Women from aristocratic families have been taught in the boudoir since childhood, and those who can be sent to the palace are not only proficient in poetry and poetry, but at least have a little knowledge of poetry and prose.Even Wu Lianxin and Xia Heyue were born in a teaching workshop, and they wanted to make fun of others, so they naturally knew some poems and songs.

Only Qin Wange, who was born in southern Xinjiang, was barely able to learn the palace rules of Xiling, let alone have any attainments in poetry and poetry.

Chen Caiwei's move was clearly aimed at the imperial concubine.A discerning person will know it when he hears it

Xu Qiushui was secretly happy that Chen Caiwei was indeed the most talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was much smarter than those two people who were born in Liyuan.

Although this move couldn't hurt An Lingsu, it made Xu Qiushui much happier to be able to cut An Lingsu's face in front of everyone.

At that moment, Xu Qiushui smiled and said: "What Chen Guipin said is true. Now that spring is just right, it's rare that all the younger sisters are here. Your Majesty, how about we help poetry?"
