Most of the ink used by the court nobles is the lacquer smoke in the emblem ink, the color is translucent and black, and it will not fade for a long time. Only when you write with such ink will you not be dizzy when the veil is dry.

The light gradually dimmed, and Yuan Jiusi looked up only to find that Lan Yi had already held the lamp for her.

The lights in Yun Yan Xuan are bright, and the spring is harmonious. The candle flame in the delicate red palace lamp kept jumping, and the warm orange light reflected on the delicate face of the girl under the lamp, exuding a soft light.

Yuan Jiusi's facial features are seven points similar to Nie Guifei's, and at first glance, I saw that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be full of affection.

It's just that after looking carefully, I understand it, and she is obviously a gentle woman who is as touching as water, but there is a sharp and cold temperament that cannot be ignored. Beauty is beautiful, but only dare to watch from afar.

While flipping through the book, he knocked his head with the barrel of a pen, and there were so many unfamiliar books! Yuan Jiusi's heart was impatient, and even the expression on his face became vivid, no longer holding a shelf like in the daytime, and he was domineering.

Seeing that she hesitated with a pen, the flower note hesitated to bring her a cup of milk just delivered from the small kitchen, and stepped forward to persuade her: "If you can't finish writing tonight, the princess will read it tomorrow, and don't hurt your eyes when it's late." ”

Don't say it, I don't think it, Yuan Jiusi really felt that his eyes were a little sour. Obediently put down the pen, she reluctantly comforted herself: Anyway, there is still half a month, so there is no hurry.

Seeing her stop writing, Lan Yi curiously leaned her head over to take a look, only to see that the square Jinpa on the sandalwood table had been written full. The fly-headed small Kai on the top has both square and round, and it is very charming and charming.

Looking at the words on the Jinpa, Lan Yi was dumbfounded, and his hands were shaking. "Princess, are you going to take this to the palace examination?"

Yuan Jiusi fanned the wind towards the handkerchief, wanting the handkerchief to dry quickly, and asked as a matter of course: "Otherwise, what do you think?"

"But just in case"

Before Lan Yi finished speaking, Yuan Jiusi patted the table impatiently, and said earnestly: "You two are not young, you should think about everything in a good place." Shouldn't you be positive as a human being? Lan Yi, what do you mean by saying that this princess was caught by that nasty ghost?"

"The slave knows it's wrong, but the slave doesn't mean that, the slave and the maid are just afraid" Lan Yi's face collapsed, and he snorted aggrievedly.

Yuan Jiusi wasn't really annoyed, he just taught a few words casually, but he didn't expect the girl to be scared.

stood up and patted her on the shoulder, and his words were much gentler: "Don't keep talking about a slave and a slave, it sounds strange." You also saw Gong Huang Jin's face today, anyway, I will be careful. ”

Saying that, she had a flash of inspiration, remembered an idiom, and snorted coldly: "The villain has the ambition." ”

The word scolding seemed a little too thin, so she couldn't stop, and continued to count to herself: "I still speak disrespectfully, and I don't take this princess in my eyes at all." Hmph, what a princess has to beg him. The reason why I am writing this is just to fight for myself, and when the time comes, I will slap him in the face and slap him in the face. ”

When she finally stopped breathing, Lan Yi interjected, with surprise in her voice: "Actually, the slave didn't mention Lord Gonghui, it was the princess who always talked about him." ”

Yuan Jiusi was immediately choked by her, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

couldn't hold it on her face, her watery eyes bulged as big as a brass bell, and her voice was also high: "As far as your mouth is broken, you know the most, you mention it again, tonight the princess will drive you out to fight the vigil!"

The flower note at the back listened very worriedly.

Yuan Jiusi's temper is clear to both of them, as long as the mind is decided, who will say that they will not change, and they will not turn back if they don't hit the south wall. The temple examination is such a thing

***

Recently, Yuan Jiusi has been living smoothly, and the wind and waves are calm.

But for some reason, she was always pressed by something, inexplicably bored, and couldn't calm down.

The winter sun is white, and the reflection of the thick white snow is even brighter. Nie Guifei was afraid that the sun on a snowy day would burn her eyes, so she couldn't help but carefully tell Hua Jian Lanyi to stop Yuan Jiusi more and let her go out less.

Therefore, except for going to Guoyong Prison and asking for peace, Yuan Jiusi has been staying sullenly in Yun Yanxuan. Originally, she was busy doing things on Jinpa, and she didn't have time to go out and hang out.

But over there, Concubine Nie Guifei saw that she couldn't sit still after she was closed all day, and she was afraid that people would be bored, so she sent the palace maid to ask what was going on.

When Chuan Qiong got the meaning, he went to ask the flower note, only to know that Yuan Jiusi was reviewing the books all day after school, often reading at night, very hard, and begged for a good result in the palace examination.

Nie Guifei was very relieved when she heard this.

・

The New Year is approaching, and the palace is full of lights. Guoyong Prison doesn't have to go for the time being, and Yuan Jiusi is even more idle.

When she went to the main hall in the early morning to greet her mother, she didn't expect that today's Guiyan Palace would be rare and lively.

There is no owner in the harem, and Nie Rufan, as the head of the four concubines, temporarily holds the phoenix power. In the end, her mother is a lazy person, if she has nothing important, she doesn't love to summon a group of concubines in three days.

Out of sight is clear, and they will have a headache when they are chattering and arguing. Nie Guifei said to her.

Yuan Jiusi thought that this was very reasonable, otherwise she would not have just walked to the door, and her heart beat panicked when she heard the noise inside.

The bead curtain moves lightly, the clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are shadowy, and the words are smiling.

Xin Yi, the maidservant waiting at the door, gently reported inside: "Princess Shuyi is here." ”

The laughter and speech in the room suddenly became much lighter.

"The child came to his mother and said goodbye. Facing the eyes of a group of concubines, Yuan Jiusi bowed to Nie Guifei Yingying on the soft couch of Jiufeng makeup, and bowed respectfully and completely. It wasn't until the person on the couch nodded her head that she slowly got up with her hand on the flower note.

"Concubine Xian, concubine, and concubine, Lin Jieyu. Yuan Jiusi smiled and said to the people on both sides.

The virtuous concubine Pei, who was dressed in a smoky purple brocade palace robe, was the biological mother of the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was congenitally deficient and went not long after he was born.

Pei Ling suffered a lot of blows for this matter, and rarely appeared in the harem again. Standing next to Concubine Xian, and Concubine Mingxiao is the biological mother of her younger brother Yuan Huainan.

Lin Jieyu and Lin Shuzhi are the mothers of her third sister Yuan Xihe. Because Yuan Jiusi often went to Xianyin Palace to find Yuan Xihe, Lin Jieyu was naturally more affectionate than other concubines.

At the end of the year, the surrounding countries and territories of Xia Yi will pay tribute to the court that has been accumulated in the past year, and some civil and military officials will also take this opportunity to offer some gifts to the palace.

Because of the reward arranged by Emperor Xuan yesterday, Concubine Nie Guifei specially summoned all the palace concubines in the harem to gather in the Guiyan Palace this morning.

However, a new batch of silk satin, pearl and jade agate antique vases were sent in. Rare things, Yuan Jiusi has seen a lot and played a lot. Earlier, she was still greedy for beauty and had a little interest in playing, but for more than ten years, every reward came and went, just those tricks, nothing new. After a long time, she was tired of it.

was about to invite An to go back to his mansion, but he stopped because of Lin Jieyu's words.

"I have long heard that this year, Lord Shangqing in the court offered a blood-colored Dongzhu to His Majesty, but I didn't expect the concubine to open her eyes here today. Look at this color, it's really a rare treasure. "There is envy in the words. Lin Jieyu is not a person who likes to be presumptuous, because of her humble background, she has always been cautious in the palace, and she is used to looking at people's faces when she speaks and does things.

When Yuan Jiusi heard it, he couldn't help but look back.

On the base of the golden ruby, a bead the size of a pigeon's egg was shining brightly.

The bead body is covered with silver lines, and the fine lines are very clever to outline a pattern similar to auspicious clouds. If you use your hand to cover the light slightly, the dark place will be reflected with a faint red pearl light and silver lines, which is luxurious and beautiful.

A rare bead indeed.

He is honest and honest, and Yuan Jiusi decided not to believe that he could still offer such a rare treasure.

Her heart couldn't help twitching, and she secretly wondered that this blood-red Dongzhu must have been obtained from the people's fat and people's ointment that the well-dressed beast had scavenged!

Nie Guifei leaned aside with a faint expression, quietly watching the concubines choose satin and discuss the blood beads.

Always smiling eyes swept over them nonchalantly. Then, she happened to see Yuan Jiusi who said that he was leaving, staring at the beads without blinking, and she was very fascinated.

Retracting his gaze, Nie Ru fanfu looked at the glorious Dongzhu again, thoughtfully.

・

In the afternoon, Yuan Jiusi was leaning on the beauty couch and squinting and pretending to sleep.

In a daze, I heard a muttering sound outside the door.

"Flower, who's out there?" she called out.

The people outside the door saw that she was awake and followed in, "Princess Shuyi, it was the concubine who ordered the slave maid to bring you something." Yuan Jiusi opened his eyes lazily, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were lazy. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the box in Chuan Qiong's hand contained the blood bead in the morning.

Looking at what Chuan Qiong had in hand, Yuan Jiusi couldn't help frowning her delicate willow eyebrows, "This is" If she heard it correctly in the morning, this bead was obviously given to her mother by her father.

"Niangniang saw that the princess liked it this morning, so she specially asked the slave maid to send it over in the afternoon. The mother said that the princess has been studying hard recently, and she should be rewarded. "Nie Rufan is from the Jiangnan businessman family, and he has been accustomed to a wealthy life since he was a child, and he has never cared much about things outside his body.

Before entering the palace, Nie Rufan had read many books. Although Xia Yiguo also flourished, the saying "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented".

But she still hopes that her daughter can be proficient in poetry, books, etiquette and music, and be a woman who knows etiquette and has a bearing. So I have always had high expectations for Yuan Jiusi.

Although he didn't really like the bead, Yuan Jiusi was still very happy when he only listened to the first half of the words. But the second half of Chuan Qiong's sentence was like a scoop of cold water, pouring her head, and even her heart was cold.

Chuan Qiong is a person who has been by Nie Rufan's side for decades, and he is like a person. Therefore, she can't show anything unusual, and she can't see anything wrong.

"In this way, Chuanqiong, you thank my mother for me first. I'll come back when I say hello in the evening. Yuan Jiusi had mixed feelings in her heart, but she didn't dare to reveal it, she didn't even have the confidence to say a word of promise.

When Chuan Qiong completely disappeared from front of him, Yuan Jiusi's gaze lingered for a while.

subconsciously glanced at the books on the desk that had been piled up for her. Suddenly, she felt that her life had been crawled with lice, and there was no robe to cover it. The lice tickled her.

Stretched out his hand and tightened his neckline, cold and miserable.
