Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Qionghua Hairpin

Qiu Ju looked at Cen Guifei, gritted her teeth, and was about to say something. When her footsteps were about to step out, Mei Xiang's eyes were sharp, and she pulled her back, and said in a low voice: "Qiu Ju, are you going to make a mess again?"

The first person who committed Hun was not Qiu Ju, but Chunliu, and the ending was that she waited by the side of the concubine Niangniang for many years, or was driven out of the palace by Cen Guifei, who did not miss the old love.

Mei Xiang, Qiu Ju, Chunliu and others have all grown up with the concubine Niangniang since childhood, and later the concubine Niangniang entered the palace, and they also married together. Chunliu is the most straightforward one, and she can't see the concubine Niangniang practicing herself like this, so she persuaded her: "Now the emperor treats Niangniang very well, everything is up to you, let Niangniang's temperament, Niangniang should also be grateful, don't make the court inside and outside, the government and the opposition are angry." ”

The concubine Niangniang, who was drinking tea with a tea cup, smashed the tea cup on the desk with a "bang", raised Yang Danfeng's eyes, and glanced at Chunliu: "Do you think that I am the Daji of the Yin Shang period? Isn't this right, I am worried that I can't destroy it." ”

Then, he beat the spring willow for thirty boards and threw him out of the palace.

Witnessing the tragic experience of Chunliu, Mei Xiangqiu Ju and the others were cold, who dared to say another half a sentence? So after that, Cen Guifei did not make an appointment with her own temperament, and she could come as much as she liked. Fortunately, the emperor really likes Cen Guifei, plus the queen mother and the emperor's mother and son do not agree, most of the time they are either in the palace to recuperate or go outside to relax, and they also turn a blind eye to Cen Guifei's affairs, and the queen died early, so there is no rule in this harem. If not, with the iron wrist of the Queen Mother. If you really want to take care of the harem, and send Mei Xiangqiu Ju and others to the charge of "instigating the little master", it is not enough to die a hundred times.

Cen Guifei sat in front of the mirror for about a quarter of an hour. Then he stretched out his white and tender hand like a shelled spring bamboo shoot, pointed to the half-open Jiuzi Fang Qi Qi on the side, and slowly opened his lips and said, "Go, put those two Qionghua hairpins on the palace." ”

Mei Xiang and Qiu Ju were shocked, and looked at Cen Guifei in horror. Others don't know the origin of these two hairpins, but the two of them do, this is Cen Guifei's secret. If it is known to the emperor. His favorite concubine Niangniang still has other people's words in her heart, so it's worth it! Tianwei is furious, don't talk about the lives of these ants who are slaves. Even if it is the entire Xiliang Kingdom, I am afraid it will not be easy.

"Niangniang......" Mei Xiang Qiuju had to speak.

"Don't talk nonsense, put it on this palace quickly. Cen Guifei said impatiently, she glanced at Mei Xiang Qiuju with a shocked face. The corners of his lips raised. showed an extremely charming smile: "You say, when the emperor sees this hairpin, he will send troops to Xiliang? Joke, what kind of person is the emperor, will he really act rashly for the sake of these boudoir things? Then he is not worthy of being this emperor." ”

The concubine dared to say such a thing, Mei Xiangqiu Ju and the others were scared to death, and decided not to make any more noise in the future. If you speak out again, I don't know what else the concubine can say more shocking words.

So Mei Xiang didn't dare to say more. Hurriedly put the two Qionghua hairpins on the concubine. Cen Guifei looked at the mirror, straightened the hairpin with her hand, and finally showed a satisfied smile, and then instructed Mei Xiang to set the meal.

What came on the table was a plate of steamed goose breast, a plate of simmering duck feet, a small half bowl of crystal rice fragrant rice, and a cup of clear soup. Recently, in order to be more brilliant at the banquet, Concubine Cen deliberately controlled her appetite, so she didn't eat much. Of course, the most important thing is to put a plate of oil and spicy seeds on the side.

It stands to reason that Xiliang people generally don't like spicy food, and people in that area like to eat shabu mutton, and like to eat something called buttermilk, that is, the slurry left over when making cheese with milk and goat's milk, with a sour taste, which is very thirsty, but Cen Guifei is not used to drinking this strange taste. Mei Xiang remembers very well that the concubine Niangniang vomited once when she drank it. But the concubine likes to eat spicy, and the people of Kyoto in general, like the kind of oil and spicy seeds made by stir-frying with tempeh, peppercorns, sesame seeds, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, etc., almost to the point of no spicy and unhappy, so that Mei Xiang Qiuju, who is a Xiliang person, is very surprised.

Later, they came to the conclusion that the living habits of the concubine Niangniang since she was a child were actually similar to those of Kyoto, which showed that the concubine Niangniang really had a fate with Kyoto, and she was destined to enter the palace as a mother.

After eating lunch and rinsing her mouth with mint tea, the concubine moved to Wanhong Garden, waiting for the officials and relatives of the capital to enter the palace to congratulate.

On the side of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, it started to get busy early in the morning. The kitchen, which had been specially ordered by the old lady, did not dare to slack off at all, and boiled hot water and sent it to the courtyard of the three young ladies one by one. With the previous experiences, Gu Zhirong has become accustomed to this kind of banquet in the circle of high-class people in the capital, after bathing, freshening up, and then changing into a newly cut new dress, going to the old lady's house for lunch and listening to the old lady's lecture for a while, then take their respective maids to the backyard and wait for departure.

When she was in the backyard, she saw that the fourth lady Gu Yuanqin was holding something in her hand and handed it to the first-class maid next to her, Ziyan went out for a while, and soon turned back, still following the fourth lady. The second lady was called aside by the eldest lady and gave her a careful advice, presumably to teach her how to show her dignified and tight side at the banquet.

In a few moments, the three horsemen were in place, all of them middle-aged servants in their thirties, with tanned complexions and strong arms, which were very powerful. Gu Zhirong, the second miss, and the fourth miss got into three carriages respectively, and the wheels turned, and slowly drove out of the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Since it was still early and the car was not in a hurry, Gu Zhirong sat down in the car steadily, lifted the curtain of the window, and enjoyed the scenery along the way refreshed.

Cai Qing was tense in her face, unconsciously clutching the handkerchief in her hand, very nervous. She couldn't help but be nervous, the eldest lady was more concerned about her young lady's illness than ordinary people, even if she took out five hundred taels of silver like a hemorrhage, she had to cure the scars on her young lady's face, which made Cai Qing and others frightened. Therefore, before they set off, the green water jade cicada Snow Goose and others, even Mingyue, who was far away in the miscellaneous room, also received the news, and asked someone to come over and spread the word that they wanted to pick green and never leave Gu Zhirong's side, for fear that something would happen.

Gu Zhirong has a calm attitude of "soldiers are coming, water is coming to cover", anyway, she is ready to prepare, just wait for the time to improvise. What's more, she has to go to the palace on this trip, and she has not yet completed the task given to her by the old monk Mingkong.

Thinking of the stunned expression on the latter's face when she saw Mother Cai next to the eldest lady in the backyard, Gu Zhirong felt funny. In fact, Cai's mother deliberately reduced the dosage of the drug, and she guessed it on the same day, so Cai's mother is not bad in nature, and she may be able to win it. (To be continued......)
