Chapter 578

After leaving Yangzhou, Emperor Yongzheng toured Suzhou and lived in the former Suzhou Weaving Mansion, which had taken over from Kangxi.Qi Luo got off the sedan chair and heard that the place where he lived, even if this is not the prototype of the Grand View Garden, it should not be far away.

Back when Yongzheng ascended the throne, Yinzhen, who was obliged to repay him, began to liquidate the courtiers who helped Yunsi. Qi Luo didn't like Li Xu, and he was destined to be punished. He would not listen to her persuasion, but this was the first time Qi Luo spoke, so he followed her wishes and lenient them, but once the official position was demoted to the end, the debt was recovered. Thinking to himself, it should be better than in history, at least the county king Fujin once went to the palace to kowtow to En Dian.

"Your Majesty, the family members weaving in Suzhou are waiting for orders outside." The maid came in to report, at this time Qi Luo had just washed off the dust on the road, and just wanted to take a rest, she knew that Yinzhen would not stay in Yangzhou for a few days, and secretly wondered what Suzhou had Good scenery, you can go to play.

Seeing the impatience on Qi Luo's face, Ziying helped her tidy up her clothes, and said, "Why don't the servants let them go back? Your majesty has been tired all day, and she doesn't wince at all."

"No, let's meet." Qi Luo sat in front of the dressing table carved with red sandalwood patterns, brushing her fingers lightly, which was more delicate than her own. , velvet flowers refined in the palace, one by one on Qi Luo's head.

"Your Majesty likes this dressing table? It seems that I heard that it was used by the former Suzhou manufacturer girl." Qi Luo was stunned for a moment. Could it be Lin Daiyu's prototype?Looking at the mirror above, it seemed as if she could see a sickly Xishi-like girl coming in the air, and the maid said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's ready."

Qi Luo blinked, shook her head and sighed secretly, maybe because being here made her think a little too much, got up and put on a bright yellow coat, stepped on the bottom of the flower pot and helped Ziying turn around the screen embroidered with Fu Lu Shou , walked to the living room.

Sitting on a wide chair, a thin yellow curtain was lowered in front of Qi Luo. The furnishings in the room were extremely luxurious, and on the four-corner shelves of red nanmu wood in the corner, there were blooming bright flowers, exuding a faint fragrance. , it seems that the queen doesn't like incense, I'm afraid it's known all over the world.

"Let them come in." Following Qi Luo's order, five or six women dressed according to their makeup came in orderly from outside, and bowed down to salute, "Greetings to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

Qi Lu nodded, and Ziying said in a deep voice, "Get up." The people who greeted Ann slowly got up and stood in a row in a row. The leader was a rich lady in her 40s, and her daughter should be next to her. , it really has the softness of Jiangnan's daughter.

One of the girls wearing a red flag dress is even more outstanding, with a smile on her peach-blossom cheeks, a peaceful and reasonable expression in her black grape eyes, a plump body, and a thousand kinds of tenderness in her every move.Next to her was a girl in a light green cheongsam, her whole body was very elegantly dressed, and the pearl jewelry on her head made her somewhat thin body a little rounder.

"These two girls are Madam's daughters? They are really good." Qi Luo was puzzled, why did he feel as if he was in a talent show?How is this going?After thinking about it carefully, today's Suzhou manufacturing is also coated, even if there are daughters in the family, they can only be selected as maids in the palace. Naturally, they are reluctant to part with their daughters who are as beautiful as flowers, but this move?Qi Luoyu's face became a bit more serious, and she restrained her amiable attitude just now, but instead showed a bit of sharpness. She has been a queen for a while, and her aura is also a little bit stronger, especially for those who have bad intentions, she is not polite.

"Back to the empress, they are the little girls, and the empress is graceful and elegant. They can still see it, and they can't be praised by the empress." The lady's body trembled slightly, a little frightened. I regret it so much, why did I believe in that kind of rumor?

"Ma'am is too modest. I see that they each have their own merits and beauty. It really is the beautiful place of Suzhou that can raise this pair of sisters." Qi Luo took a look at Ziying, took the celadon tureen, and held the tea leaves. The curtain is removed, let Bengong take a good look at it."

The palace maid slowly pulled up the curtain, and Qi Luo could see it more clearly. These two girls were really outstanding, with an elegant aura on their bodies. Out of disgust, he asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

"Hui Niangniang just knows a few words." The red-clothed girl leaned over, her clear voice was rare and soft, Qi Luo's mouth curled into a smile, "I'm afraid I can't know a few words, you sisters should be proficient The history books are right, I can still feel the scholarly spirit on my body, and I come from a prosperous and romantic place in the south of the Yangtze River, so don't be overly modest."

"Your Majesty, the slaves are only a little bit familiar, far inferior to the poems handed down by the Empress." The girl in red replied submissively again, and the girl in green began to recite Qi Luo's original chrysanthemum poems and the poems she made during the draft. In her ethereal and quiet voice, the scene at that time seemed to appear before Qi Luo's eyes. The chrysanthemum banquet in Prince Yu's mansion, meeting Xiyue Yaqing, meeting Baotai in the flower hall, the painting that can attract butterflies, entered The startling step by step during the Gong draft is all so clear.

Qi Luo softened his face, and there was a sincere smile in his eyes, "It's been so long, I didn't expect you to remember it, if I hadn't listened to you reciting today, I'm afraid I would have forgotten that I also walked with close friends in my boudoir. "

The green-clothed girl leaned over her body and said softly, "Your Majesty is now the mother of the world, her face will last forever, and she will be herself."

"Forget it." Qi Luo hates this kind of words the most. It's not that she doesn't like flattery, but they attribute everything they have today to their innate blessings and destiny, and they didn't see their family's hard work. They trembled and frowned slightly, so they couldn't bear it?She is really delicate, but I see You Lian's expression on her face, which is quite attractive.

"You might as well show the poems you all wrote, and let me appreciate the literary talents of Jiangnan talented women." Hearing what Qi Luo said, the madam showed joy, and signaled the two girls to fetch the poems with her eyes. At this moment, Qi Luo said, "Ziying, prepare your pen and ink, and let the two girls compose poems on the spot. I don't know if you have ever felt embarrassed?"

The two looked at each other, with a trace of confidence in their eyes, and said respectfully, "Please ask the empress to make a proposition."

"Just take the scenery of Suzhou as the topic, and I also want to know where the beauty of Suzhou is?" The two took the order, and sat in front of the table arranged by the maid next to them. They meditated for a while and wrote poems. It reflects their delicate faces and makes them more beautiful.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is another mystery to this matter." Ziying whispered in Qi Luo's ear in a very low voice, "Your maidservant heard rumors outside a few days ago, and you can't because of your injury." She glanced at Qi Luo's face. , with a hint of anger on his face, he continued, "They are all those who should pull out their tongues. They dare to say that you can no longer be favored. This time, I want to find some well-behaved Jiangnan women to represent you."

"Enough." Qi Luo was very angry, can't accept favor?Then why did I wear a high-necked cheongsam today, and where did the pain in my body come from?The teacup was placed on the table, and with a crackling sound, the hands of the two young girls writing poems paused. They peeked at An, who was sitting on it, with a delicate face and a noble queen whose skin could be broken by blowing bullets. They felt a little bit worried secretly. , their mother's thoughts, they are clear, but facing the queen, they can't think of any thoughts, and the noble girls of the Eight Banners rarely come out like the queen, buried their heads in the case, do they really have a chance?
"Where did these words come from? In the palace? Or don't." Qi Luo picked up a feathered cattail leaf fan to cover his mouth. This must be done by someone who knows the details. Otherwise, how could there be such plausible words? Passed to Jiangnan?My heart tightened, Jiangnan had heard about it, so didn't the whole Qing Dynasty know about it?He felt even more annoyed, "Let me check it out, and I will never spare those who tell stories."

After a cup of tea, the two girls presented their poems. Qi Luo glanced at them lightly. The handwriting was good, but the poems were mediocre. I thought that the people living here would be smart and talented women, but I was disappointed. A couple of praises without itching.

"Your Majesty, the emperor sent you to go to the theater." The servant came in to report, Qi Luo vaguely heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and asked suspiciously, "Watching a theater?"

"It's already prepared by Suzhou Weaving. The emperor specially asked the slave to invite you over." Qi Luo slowly got up and really didn't want to go, looking at some girls who were eager to try, the corners of his mouth raised, "You are also with me, I also want to go Listen to Jiangnan operas, you should give me a good introduction."

"Observe the decree." Qi Luo took the two women, surrounded by the crowd, to the front garden, and amidst the sound of prostration, climbed up to the high attic for watching operas, Yinzhen sat firmly in the middle, saw Qi Luo When Luo was wearing a bright yellow cheongsam with a stand-up collar and a pipa lapel, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

When Qi Luo was sitting beside him, Yin Zhen waved his hands and said, "The play begins." Amidst the din of gongs and drums, Sheng Dan Jing Mo Ugly began to sing. There was no one else around the emperor and empress, and Yin Zhen was playing with Qi Luo in the dark. Luo Luo's fingers, she seldom wears armor, and her plump and light pink nails make people feel cute just by looking at them.

"Still angry with me?" Qi Luo was clenched by him with one hand, and lightly shook the feather fan with the other. After seeing the local officials, there seemed to be fireworks blooming in the distance, which was a scene of peace.

"How dare I be angry with you? I can't even accept the person who favors you." Qi Luo was very angry about this rumor, and she didn't believe that Yinzhen didn't know about it, but he didn't say it, feeling his hands being grasped, and hearing Yinzhen's gloomy asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"Look at the two young girls I killed, don't you understand?" Qi Luo clenched the handle of the fan tightly, lowered his eyes to look at the pendant of Cuiyu, and said in a low voice, "They have good intentions, but I feel uncomfortable."

"I will deal with this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Yinzhen didn't even look at the two women, moved closer to Qi Luo, suppressed the stern look in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "How about my queen? Let others make irresponsible remarks, Qi Luo, you make me very satisfied."

Qi Luo slapped Yinzhen on the shoulder with a fan, glanced at him sideways, turned his head to look at the stage, the corners of Yinzhen's mouth were raised, although the people in the audience were watching the play, everyone was paying attention to Yinzhen's movements, and naturally watched It was clear, the delicate blush on the queen's face, and the amorous look on her body, how could she not be favored?Rumors are mostly nonsense.
