Qing Palace: Biography of Concubine Shu

Chapter 15 Zhongyuan Festival

The fifteenth day of July was the Ghost Festival, and as soon as Shu Yun got up, Su Lan and Su Zhu began to light Tibetan incense in the hall, hoping to drive away the wraiths, Shu Yun frowned from the choking, and looked at them with some puzzlement.

"Master, you can't wear bright colored clothes today, I think the blue ones are good." Seeing Shu Yun's uneasy expression, Su Lan was worried that he would let the Tibetan incense be extinguished.

Today, Tibetan incense will be lit in all the courtyards in the elder brother's institute, hoping to ensure the safety of the first courtyard.The Forbidden City has been established for many years, and there are many innocent souls in it. It is said that some slaves have seen innocent souls. Therefore, many people are whispering in their hearts, for fear that someone will be entangled.

Shu Yun stared at Su Lan and Su Zhu, they were wearing blue palace attire, with the same color palace flowers on their heads, and white jade earrings on their ears, which was obviously different from the past.

"Forget it, you open the windows of the dining room to ventilate, and we will stay in the outer hall." Shu Yun nodded, expressing agreement with Su Lan's glance.

She is wearing a blue gown with arrow sleeves, the sleeves are embroidered with six-character mantras with gold thread, and the outer cover is an eight-quarter-length long-sleeved gown with a semi-stand-up collar of the same color. The head is covered with emerald gourd and gold hairpin.

"Master, we need to use cold food today." Shu Yun copied a lot of scriptures in advance, so he doesn't need to work hard now.

As soon as she entered the palace, Yinzhen asked her to start copying scriptures, which were supposed to be handed in today, but Shu Yun finished writing them three days ago.

"You remember to hand over the scriptures to Fujin, it's my kindness." Shu Yun looked at Su Lan, she would leave the palace with Yinzhen tomorrow, so she didn't have to go to pay her respects in person.

Su Lan nodded quickly, and after serving her meal, she personally took the tray with the scriptures copied by Shu Yun on it, and went together.

According to the regulations, one volume per day, Shu Yun's scriptures are considered rich.

"Suzhu, what else can I use besides cold food?" Shu Yun was worried that Yinzhen's stomach might be bad if he used cold food.

"Master, we still have some rouge rice. Do you want to cook some easy-to-digest porridge on the small stove here, and let me use some after the midnight?" On the other hand, Xu Yun specially allowed Shu Yun to set up a small stove, which can be regarded as a small dining room.

On weekdays, it is to boil some hot water for use. The time for three meals in the imperial dining room has passed, and it is rare for people like Shu Yun to use it.

"En!" Shu Yun looked at the small cold dish in front of him, and after eating a bowl of purple rice porridge, he put down his chopsticks.

This cold food is not delicious, the taste is not as good as usual, and she can't be picky.

After breakfast, Shu Yun deliberately took a look at the things needed for the tour, and thought that everything was ready, so he leaned on the chair and read the storybook with peace of mind. On leisure days, he just relied on the storybook to pass the time.

Around her waist is a purse of the Paramita Sutra, and the scriptures embroidered with gold thread are neatly embroidered on the royal blue purse.

When lunch was approaching, Yin Zhen walked in. Tomorrow, Huang Ama went on a tour, went to the study room to leave school early, and left homework for the elder brothers. After preparing for Qiu Mi, the master will check.

"Master, are you back?" Shu Yun put down the book in his hand, and hurried up to greet him, Yinzhen looked at Shu Yun's attire, and nodded in satisfaction.

It was the first time for Shu Yun to spend the Hungry Ghost Festival in the palace, and he was worried that Shu Yun would not get used to it. Who would have thought that the two maidservants beside him would be doing their best.

"Does it look good?" Shu Yun seldom wears blue palace attire, which is obviously only worn on days such as sacrifices or the Ghost Festival.

Shu Yun wandered around in front of Yinzhen, letting Yinzhen see if he was decent.

The gourd and gold hairpin tassels on her head fluttered in the air as she circled.

Yin Zhen looked at the texture of his head, and couldn't help frowning. Shu Yun's head looked good from a distance, but it didn't look good up close. The jade bracelet she was wearing was also a gift from Yin Zhen. From the day she gave it, she I only took this pair.

"Neizao didn't give you some honor?" At the time of Qiu Mi, Shu Yun represented the female relatives in the fourth elder brother's backyard. If he didn't have a good honor, he would be regarded as losing his fourth master.

"Su Peisheng, go ask the grandma to bring the Wanfu Eight Treasures Hairpin and Xiangyun Toumian." Yinzhen told Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng bowed and left, Shu Yun wrinkled his face, isn't that a little too much?
Yinzhen is satisfied with Shu Yun's temperament, she will not ask for more things, she will take what he gives.

"When you're away from home, how can you do it without a few good looks?" Yinzhen took her little hand and sat together on the soft couch. "This pair of emeralds perfectly complement your complexion."

The jadeite bracelet against the snow-white skin made people's eyes shine.

Shu Yun is at the age of a flower, and his appearance is at its best. This time, Yinzhen was worried that the prince would be tempted.

"Master, it makes me a little creepy." Shu Yun was stared at by Yinzhen, his little heart was beating wildly, as if he had done something to offend him.

He pulled her into his arms with one hand, still thinking silently in his heart, this is his own woman, and no one can take her away.

Soon, Su Peisheng came in with two boxes in his hands, and Yinzhen opened one, and her eyes lit up.

Inside the red sandalwood box is a gold hairpin, on which is a golden hairpin made of * patterns carved from various gemstones and jade, and even the flow rate is a small * character.

He reached out and took off the gourd tassel hairpin, and inserted the * character hairpin into her bun.

"This was given by Er Niang before she was alive. You must take it well. Tomorrow, take it out with you." Yinzhen said, looking at her fair and tender face.

After hearing this, Shu Yun understood that the eight-treasure hairpin was a relic left by Concubine Tong Gui, and she prepared to put it away carefully.

"Yes." Shu Yun nodded, leaning her small face on his shoulder, watching him open another red sandalwood box.

Inside the box is a complete set of head and face, plus earrings, a total of 28 pieces, with patterns of auspicious clouds.

"Take this set of head mask with you." Xiangyun's head face was designed by Yinzhen himself. Although suet jade is not expensive, this double color is extremely rare.

At that time, when he personally designed Xiangyun's face, the little girl's face came to mind.

It's back to the original owner.

Her eyes lit up, she liked this hairstyle very much.

"Can you ride a horse?" Yinzhen remembered an important thing. Shu Yun was very favored in the mansion, so he probably never thought that he would enter the royal family. This necessary skill should not be learned again.

"Yes, I don't ride often." Shu Yun nodded, riding a horse is still possible, but it is rarely used, and it has probably been forgotten by now.

Shu Yun's cheeks were bright red, and Yinzhen realized that he probably forgot.

"When I went to the grassland, I will teach you how to ride a horse." Yinzhen seemed to be entertaining while teaching.

Shu Yun nodded, at least not someone who lost Yinzhen in Qiu Mishi.
