323 Chance encounter in the Imperial Garden
In the imperial garden, four palace maids walked in front, Concubine Jia was holding her arm by the hairpin, and on the left and right were Feng Jiwen and the eight-sided Fujin Wang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two sisters Jin Rongyue and Zhang Jia followed.
Then there were four second-class palace maids who hung their heads.
Concubine Jia walked slowly in front, with an approachable smile on her face: "Now that it is late autumn, it will be early winter in a few days, so this garden is not as lively as the purple and red in spring and summer, but occasionally taking a walk is indeed pleasing to the eye, and the picture is just leisure." ”
"It's also very beautiful right now. Wang Shi answered on the side: "Autumn is also good in autumn, for example, the begonias in front of you, and the hibiscus chrysanthemum, isn't it a good scenery that you can't see in spring and summer?" Wang said with a soft smile.
Hearing this, Concubine Jia glanced forward, and replied nonchalantly: "It's still different in the end." ”
Feng Jiwen just smiled slightly on the side, and rarely spoke.
Jin Rongyue in the rear frowned slightly.
She looked at Zhang Jia Jiling beside her.
Zhang Jia Jiling noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her, but he didn't see Jin Rongyue speak.
Jin Rongyue had hardly spoken to her, as if she had never bothered to laugh with her.
Zhang Jia Jiling was a little strange why she looked at herself like this, but after a while, she saw that Jin Rongyue had turned her head, her face was still as cold and arrogant as ever, so she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
Zhang Jiajiling secretly said strangely, and did not stare at her again.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiajiyu slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of triumph.
This time, she wanted Jin Rongyue to see what it meant to be a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finches, so as to relieve her hatred for killing her personal maid that day.
She was secretly thinking about it, but suddenly she heard a faint sound of footsteps in front of her, followed by the sound of someone saluting.
Zhang Jiajiyu poked his head forward and took a look.
I heard the palace maid in front of me salute and say what the seventh princess, the ninth princess, and the fifteenth elder brother were, and the three of them also bowed down and bowed.
"It's been a long time since I saw Jiuge'er. Concubine Jia said with a smile: "Why haven't I seen you coming to Jingren Palace all this time?" Come here, let me see if you are fat or thin?"
The ninth princess and Ke are still young and simple-minded, and they were quite close to Concubine Jia before before they have to run to Jingren Palace every once in a while.
But since the fifteenth elder brother Yongyan jumped into the river to pick up the jade wrench for the emperor, and then returned to the palace, He Ke didn't like to be close to Concubine Jia.
"......" At this moment, she heard Concubine Jia call her over, and she hesitated for a moment before she stepped forward.
Concubine Jia bent down slightly, touched her head with pity in her eyes, and asked in a joking tone: "Tell me, what have you been doing all these days, and you can't come to Jingren Palace to see me?"
"Back to the concubine Niangniang...... He Ke drooped his head and whispered: "Recently, I have been staying in the Shoukang Palace to accompany the emperor's grandmother, and her old man is asking me to learn to copy the scriptures......"
"Oh?" Jia Guifei smiled when she heard this: "What scriptures did you copy at a young age, can you probably understand the words on it?"
"I don't understand it...... It's just a copy of it one stroke at a time......"
When Concubine Jia heard this, she laughed again, and the Wang family on the side couldn't help laughing.
At this time, He Ke quietly raised his head and looked at Feng Jiwen.
Seeing that Feng Jiwen was also looking at her, she grinned silently at Feng Jiwen.
Concubine Jia asked again what Yongyan had been reading recently.
"Read some of the "General Guide to Governance". Yongyan looked in the direction of Concubine Jia, but his eyes fell on He Ke, and he didn't look at Concubine Jia.
"Zizhi Tongjian" ......" Concubine Jia smiled, squinted at him slightly and said: "You have filial piety, and now you want to learn more ways to govern the country, so that you can help your emperor Ama govern the country as soon as possible in the future?"
He Jing's face changed suddenly.
But he heard Yongyan reply: "It was Huang Ama who asked him to read it - last time in the imperial study, Huang Ama told me and Brother Eleven to read this book well, and he will test us in a while." "The more frankly some words are spoken, the more they seem to have nothing else in mind.
The strange look in Concubine Jia's eyes dissipated most of it.
At this time, He Jing had already opened his mouth and said: "We are about to go to Shoukang Palace to say hello to the imperial grandmother, so we will not disturb Yaxing, who is visiting the garden." ”
Concubine Jia glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You guys go by yourself, if you have a free day, you might as well come to Jingren Palace to walk around often, your Eniang left early, and I don't have a character under my knees, I have always treated you as my own, don't always be detached in front of me, ah——"
Her tone was extremely kind, but He Jing couldn't help but clench her fingers.
Looking at the back of the three sisters and brothers leaving, Concubine Jia was still smiling, and said casually: "These three children also grew up in this palace, and they are all very well-behaved children, but I don't know if they follow the late Concubine Ling, and their temperament is always too restrained." ”
"yes. Wang nodded in agreement.
And Feng Jiwen looked at the amiable Concubine Jia, but felt a little chill in her back.
If it weren't for the fact that she knew that Concubine Jia had sent someone to hunt down and kill Yongyan, and that she would not even let go of a child, she really couldn't imagine that there was such a vicious mind behind this loving face.
The palace is really a big dye vat, and as long as you are the people who come in, you never know what kind of color is hidden under their shiny shells.
"Niangniang, what kind of flowers are there in front of you?" Zhang Jiajiyu suddenly asked.
Concubine Jia would not answer her words.
It was Yuan Hairpin who answered: "Little master, that's yellow oleander." ”
It's just an extremely common flower.
"Oleander ......" Zhang Jiajiyu said busily: "When I was at home before, an aunt was pregnant, and when the fetus was still unstable a few months ago, one day I suddenly had abdominal pain and almost had a miscarriage...... After letting the doctor see it, I realized that this oleander is poisonous, and pregnant women should stay away!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Wang's face changed even more, that is, he put his sleeve in front of his nose.
“…… Thanks to your care, you still know this. Concubine Jia praised Zhang Jiajiyu and said: "Let's not stop here, it's a little tired of walking, why don't you find a pavilion and rest for a while." ”
Several people answered "yes".
In this way, he walked about half a cup of tea, until he saw an octagonal pavilion with heavy eaves in front of him, and then he stopped.
Yuan Hairpin instructed the palace maid to make tea and prepare snacks, and then he wanted to help Concubine Jia to go to the pavilion.
At this time, a man's loud and laughing voice was suddenly heard in everyone's ears.
"E-niang!"
followed the prestige, but saw that it was the eleventh elder brother Yongying who was walking towards here with a group of attendants.
Jin Rongyue couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw it.
She hadn't seen Yongying for a while, and when she saw her in a hurry last time, he only explained that he was busy preparing for the wedding, and although he was reluctant, he couldn't get out of it, and asked her to be more considerate.
She was skeptical, and she always felt that it was not a good taste.
"Isn't this Yongzhen?" Jia Guifei smiled and said, "Why is he here." ”
As soon as Zhang Jiajiyu heard the name of the eleventh elder brother, he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and hairpins.
Zhang Jiajiling looked at it in his eyes and was used to it.
looked up and looked ahead, and at this time, I saw that the eleventh elder brother and his party had already come to the front to salute Concubine Jia.
It's just the person standing behind Brother Eleven......
"Second brother?" Zhang Jia Jiling couldn't hold back the surprise for a while, and called out in a low voice. She heard that her second brother had returned to Beijing some time ago, but she hadn't met so far.
But I didn't expect it to be met in the imperial garden in this palace.
Zhang Jiajiyu's action of rolling up his sleeves was paused, and he hurriedly looked up.
I saw that the young man standing behind the eleventh elder brother was wearing a royal blue round-necked robe, with a tall figure, and his facial features seemed to have matured a lot and his thick eyebrows, which looked very heroic in the sun.
Zhang Jiajiyu's heart trembled, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak.
It's just that his gaze didn't meet him, but fell on Concubine Jia's side-
He was looking at Feng Jiwen with a smile in his eyes.
After half a year of grinding in Yunnan, he has changed a lot, but only the expression of these eyes when he saw Feng Jiwen has not changed at all...... And just like all these years!
This is what she has always hated the most.
Every time she sees her, she goes crazy with jealousy!
"Eniang, this is the grandson of Lord Gui, who went to Yunnan with Brother Starling and Lord Gui, and just returned to Beijing some time ago, and today he was summoned into the palace by Huang Ama and his grandmother for questioning, and he happened to be met by his son-" Yongying said with a smile.
"It was originally the son of the Agui Mansion. Concubine Jia smiled and said, "Since it is rare to enter the palace, it is necessary to take a good look around." Yongzhen, and take Zhang Jiagongzi to enjoy the scenery in this imperial garden, but you are not allowed to wait slowly. ”
It can be seen that this grandson is very loved by Ah Gui, otherwise he would not have taken him to Yunnan for training.
Yongying still has some eyesight and knows who to get along with.
"We've also walked a big circle, and we feel tired, what's the matter, E-Niang is in a hurry to drive us away, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to share your refreshments?" Yong Ying said with a smile, a pair of eyes swept over Jin Rongyue and Zhang Jia sisters in turn.
Finally, I took a closer look at Feng Jiwen.
Feng Jiwen didn't squint and didn't pay attention to it at all.
Hearing this, Concubine Jia smiled helplessly: "That's it, since you are tired, let's sit down and rest together, so that we can talk." ”
The group entered the pavilion and sat down.
Although the weather is good today, there is a cool breeze, and after the tea stove and melon and fruit snacks and other things are put on the table, the far-reaching hairpin instructed the palace maid to put down the pavilion tent.
A few people were talking and laughing, but Feng Jiwen was a little embarrassed.
I don't know if it's because the pavilion tent was put down, the air circulation was not smooth, and the small stove where the tea was boiling hot, she actually felt that the whole pavilion was now full of the smell of flower water on her body, which was strong and went straight to her brain.
It just so happened that there was nothing wrong with the noses of everyone in the pavilion, and judging from the slightly 'uncomfortable' faces of everyone, everyone obviously felt that the aroma was too strong.
"How did you erase these?" asked Brother Eleven.
Feng Jiwen: "......"
How would she answer this question?
"If you don't pay attention for a while, you just sprinkle some more ......"
Belch?
Feng Jiwen followed the prestige, only to see that Zhang Jiajiling, who was standing behind Concubine Jia, had a red face, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

ps: After Xinyue's reminder in the book review area, I turned over some information to verify, only to find that it was inappropriate for the Wang family to call the Queen Mother Lafayette in the previous chapter, one is that this is the secret name of the palace maid and the people in the internal affairs office, and it is not suitable to be called on the surface, and the other is that this title seems to have only existed during the Cixi period, and Cixi had no certificate to test before, so nine times out of ten it does not exist, and it was too deeply influenced by Aunt Qiong Yao's Huanzhu Gege, and I always felt that it should be called so, so I didn't think about checking this title, it was indeed omission, everyone forgive me~
Everyone is also welcome to continue to catch insects, and popularize new knowledge together while reading books~ (To be continued.) )
