Chapter 237
"Your Majesty, Beauty Yu of Chengqian Palace is asking to see you." The little maid outside the door came in and announced. "Let her in." The queen straightened her waist slightly, Yuchu stepped forward and moved the backrest of the lavender flowers, and said with a smile: "Slaves, please take the three little masters to the side hall to eat, don't miss the master's words. "The queen nodded lightly: "Don't let them eat too much snacks, stop eating carefully. After the prince has used it, you will take a few proper people to send him back to the East Palace. Tell the nanny in charge that although the weather is warmer, the night wind It's still cold. Let her pay more attention to prevent Yu'er from kicking the quilt at night to catch cold." When she was young, the beauty Yu had already entered and knelt down to pay her respects: "Mei Yu pays respects to the Empress Empress, the empress is a thousand years old!" Get up and sit down. "The court lady moved a mahogany carved round stool, and Mrs. Yu sat down with her body bent. Yu said: "I think that in half a month, I will be the Empress's Qianqiu. The status of the slave is low, and there is nothing good to get. Those who made the move originally thought of giving some gold and silver hairpins as well, but the empress leads the harem, so there are no rare things, and rare things are not in her eyes, so give some ordinary ones, so as not to spoil the empress's eyes.When Xing'er was at home, she was able to get by with needlework, so she embroidered a few flowers to express her affection.Everything else is good, but the peony can't be embroidered well, either the color matching is bad, or it looks awkward and not generous, and it loses the elegance and luxury of the peony.After thinking for a long time, the servant girl finally realized: it was a servant girl, with a pair of lowly hands, how could they be suitable for embroidering the beautiful peonies.Also do not embroider.If the empress is willing and has free time, she will call the servants and sit there, and with the empress's nobility, it may be possible. "The queen smiled faintly after hearing what she said, "Don't always talk about slaves, slaves, you are also a serious master. "Bi'er took the box, opened it, and presented it to me. I saw that the box was full of embroidered silk flowers: bright red peonies, pink and purple hibiscus, etc., and picked up a bunch of finely chopped flowers. Lan Hua came and said, "It's so complicated and beautiful, it's hard for you to embroider it one by one, and it's hard for you to give it to me. "Yu smiled and said: "Although it is more troublesome, I often do it at home before entering the palace, and it is easy. "You raise your head and let Ben Gong take a closer look. There are many sisters. Although I have seen them, I can't remember them. She slowly raised her head. Her cheeks are plump, she is only in the upper middle, not as delicate and charming as Yuxuan, and she is also pleasing to the eye.

Be neat and let me see your hands. "

She stood up and walked over to me, and Bea took her hand.Fair and slender, slender and dense. "It really is a pair of skillful hands." I praised, and then said to Xuan Yu: "Bring the carved lacquer box." Xuan Yu turned around and walked to Duobaoge, opened the door with a gold-plated animal face handle, and took out a Come to the box, come to me and open it.Inside are gold, silver and jade hairpin frames, hairpin bones, silk belts of various colors, gold and silver threads, colored yarn, and patterned beads of various materials, jade and gemstones.I laughed and said, "I think the imperial hairpins in the palace are more than luxurious, but the styles are old-fashioned. Wearing beads is the same as embroidery. If you have time, sister, teach me how to make some palace flowers. , the pattern is fresh, it’s good to put it on yourself or give it to others." "Your Majesty joked, I just touched the threshold, but it's just that your Majesty saw something new. Since your Majesty likes it, I'll show my ugliness." Yu Shi He hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.I took a double-headed Danzhu winged long hairpin from my head with my backhand, and handed it to her, "My sister is young, so she shouldn't dress too plainly. The emperor still likes bright women." Yu was stunned for a while. After being dazed, I knelt down and said, "Thank you, Empress, for the reward." "If you have time these two days, come and make pearl flowers with me. It's also good for sisters to talk." I didn't look at her, and closed my eyes slightly. Eyes, said softly. "Yes, empress, the concubine knows." Holding the hairpin in her hand, Mrs. Yu felt happy physically and mentally.

After Mrs. Yu left, she lay back on the long couch, Xuan Yu beat her legs, and Bi Erqian sat and peeled and cored melons and fruits, and put them in a crystal dish. "Master is optimistic about this poppie?" "I think she is very scheming, and she speaks well. Let me see again. If she is always good and can help me with things, I can give her some face. If not, then The Bibo Hall is the cold palace." I made up my mind, and then I smiled, squinted my eyes, and took a deep breath.

In the next half month, Mrs. Yu would occasionally come over after lunch, and sometimes I would take a nap and take Wan'er and others to make pearl flowers in the Xibei Hall. "She's really an elf, and she only picks out when everyone is taking a nap, so she doesn't attract attention." Wan'er brought some branches that had already been made, and I picked up one branch with two hibiscus flowers tied at the same time. One is pink, the other is deep red, each color has different shades, but it seems to be real. "How is the one from Xianfu Palace?" I gestured to Xuan Yu's head with a bead flower in my hand. "In the past, relying on the backing of the queen mother, I used to be domineering in the harem. Now that I'm pregnant, I don't look like a crab. Naturally, the high-ranking masters don't have the same knowledge as her, and the low-level concubines avoid it. There was a little girl named Ling'er, who lost her hand while wiping it, and her fingernail cut a piece of a hundred embroidered silk, so she was dragged out and punished with a stick for twenty. The poor flower is delicate and tender, and the execution has not yet arrived. She passed away halfway through. I just said it was an illness, and I went back to the respect room and dragged it to the hospital to be melted." Xuan Yu sighed, and I inserted pearl flowers on her temples. The flowers inlaid with silk and treasures compared each other, "Since you are wronged by Ling'er, you might as well let her vent your anger." After I finished speaking, I picked up the tea next to me.

For several days, strange things happened one after another in Xianfu Palace.Every night when people are quiet, there always seems to be the faint cry of a woman, and the faint and crisp tinkling of bells, lingering, and every time people are called out to investigate, but there is no trace of anyone, which disturbs people's sleep.What's more, Yu Xiurong woke up one morning and found a broken blood-stained silver bell next to Shixiang's soft pillow. Although a chain of mine is broken, the pattern is unmistakable.The delicate Yu Xiurong suddenly turned pale and collapsed on the bed.

Yuxuan no longer had the usual arrogance and domineering, she shrank and wept uncontrollably.Every night in the middle of the night, the terrible darkness and endless nightmare haunt her like a ghost.She stretched out her hand tremblingly, tightly hugging the Queen Mother who was sitting on the bed, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and crying: "Auntie, I want to leave the palace, I don't want to stay in this ghostly place." "Xuan'er, you What are you talking about? Don't make a fuss." The Queen Mother looked at her sternly, frowning, how did the elder brother teach such an ignorant daughter. "Auntie, I'm so scared, I'm really scared." Thinking of the ghostly bells and eerie crying at night, she couldn't help shivering. "Auntie, I didn't mean to kill her, I just... just wanted to punish her, but..." Yu Xuan panicked. "It's nothing but a court lady. She died when she died. She was a slave before she was alive. Can she still make trouble after death?" The queen mother frowned as she looked at her niece's frantic and panicked eyes. "But I really saw a white shadow drifting past..." Yu Xuan trembled when she thought about it. "You girl, you still have the temper of a child, and you're scared like this when you die as a slave? Well, take a good rest today, don't think too much, with your aunt here, no one can hurt you." The queen mother patted her comfortingly. body of.Someone must be playing tricks in the dark to scare Xuan'er so much. If there is really ghosts and gods retribution in this world, she would have been cursed to death long ago. Can she still be the queen mother?Thinking of this, the queen mother looked at me with sharp and cold eyes. "Yes, sister." I stood up and walked over without seeing anything, and took Yuxuan's slightly cool hand affectionately, "With the blessing of the queen mother and the emperor's heavenly power, no ghosts can get close, not to mention my sister is pregnant now. Don't let your mind get distracted by wild thoughts. That girl is only her own fortune, and it has nothing to do with my sister." The Queen Mother saw that there was nothing unusual about me, she glanced at the old doctor Chen Sanfu, and asked, "What's the matter with Yu Xiurong?" "Reporting to the Queen Mother, Madam Xiurong is a symptom of being overly frightened, her body is weak, and she is not resting properly, this is what happened, but the dragon fetus is not seriously ill, I will prescribe a few doses of anticonvulsant medicine and anti-fetal medicine, and Madam will be fine." Chen imperial physician is cautious replied.I clapped my hands, and the two young eunuchs brought in a pot of fine and high-quality incense, about five or six catties of agarwood incense, carved into the shape of a mountain from the whole piece of spice, and decorated with gold, etc. In a sandalwood basin with rose water and storax oil.It is matched with miniature forest trees made of clove and sandalwood, which is lifelike, and the quiet fragrance permeates the whole room.I smiled at the pale-faced Yuxuan: "This is the tribute sent by the emperor a few days ago. It is said to have a quiet fragrance and is more soothing to the mind. I will pass it on to you now. My sister can rest assured to raise the baby and give birth to the emperor." A plump and white Lin'er would be nice." The queen mother went to Xiangshanzi, looked carefully, and found that it was indeed a tribute, and the former emperor also sent a pot of the same one to Kangning Palace.With so many concubines in the harem, it is not necessarily the queen who is playing tricks in the dark, not to mention that now that the crown prince has been appointed, there is no need to take risks. Thinking of this, the coldness on his face eased a little, and he turned to Yuxuan with concern: "Xuaner, This Xiangshan Zi is an extremely rare treasure, you must not disappoint the Queen's kindness." "So, thank you, Empress, for your concern." Yu Xuan nodded.Yu, the poppies at the side, interjected, "My sister is pregnant now, so she must be extra careful about her diet and daily life. My sister went to Boren Temple yesterday, and specially asked for a peace talisman for her and the emperor in her belly." Furong, the maid of honor, took out an autumn-scented brocade bag, which contained a peace talisman offered to the Buddha. "Sister, as long as you wear the talisman next to your body, it will ensure that you will give birth to a healthy prince," said Yu. "Thank you, sister." Yuxuan was very pleased with these words, her pale face flushed, she and Mrs. Yu had always been close, and without doubting it, she signaled the personal maid Ruixue to take the amulet and put it on for herself.Other concubines also had their own gifts.After chatting and laughing for a while, they came out with the Queen Mother and dispersed separately.

After leaving the palace gate of Xianfu Palace, he sat on a chariot carried by eight people, and cast a meaningful smile on Mrs. Yu's back.Back in the palace, Bi'er whispered: "Master, there is a faint scent of rosemary on the peace talisman, but it is covered by the scent of our fragrant mountain. It seems that she followed the master's order to go I did." Then, he made a cup of tea for me, "The rosemary is a foreign spice, very rare in this country, is it really useful?" "Hmph, of course it is useful, not only will I not let her Miscarriage, I want her to give birth.” I was a little thirsty, and almost drank it in one gulp, looked away, and said with a smile: “Everyone’s eyes are fixed on the Xiangshanzi I gave, but the more inconspicuous the more Hiding murderous intentions." I smiled. "It's really unpredictable. The nicer you are, the more dangerous. Master is not afraid that she will bite back?" Wan'er asked.I squinted my eyes, "Afraid? I'm afraid she won't be able to say it, not to mention that she gave this peace talisman, so what does it have to do with me?" Xuan Yu said again: "A few days ago, in what she said, she was thinking about the emperor." I smiled and said: "Who in this harem doesn't miss the emperor, and I, the lady in the palace, also read it." After laughing for a while, I told Bi'er, "Go and tell her that the emperor will come to my place for dinner tomorrow, so let her dress up properly." Now, bring the picture of Taoist immortals embroidered for the emperor, and if you are favored, let her be a rich girl."
