Chapter 39: Remembering His Years

Hurriedly walked back to the courtyard of Chengqian Palace, only to see the emperor and Min Ji looking up at the dead pear trees in the courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info emperor was wearing a purple dragon dress, and he was wearing a blue moon hollow carved jade pendant and an autumn fragrance purse around his waist, without the awe-inspiring majesty of his usual days, at first glance, he looked like a noble son.

"The concubine greets the emperor, and the sister Minji greets."

Her crisp voice rang out, and the Emperor and Minji turned to look. The emperor walked over quickly and helped her up, tucked the broken hair scattered between her temples behind her ear, and said with a smile, "The hairpin has been recovered?" How did it take so long? ”

Su Wanqing opened her big black eyes, looked directly at Long Yan and said, "The concubine thought it was in the pavilion, but who knew if it was not, so she looked for it along the path again, and then found it among the bluestone slabs." ”

After saying this, she glanced at the withered pear tree not far away, "Why don't the emperor and my sister go in and sit?" Instead, he stood in the courtyard. ”

Min Ji took a few slow steps forward, her hands clasped in her spacious sleeves, and she seemed to be a little cold, "I'm talking to the emperor about what kind of tree to plant, and what my sister likes, let's plant whatever she likes." With me here, I must have raised it well. ”

Su Wanqing frowned lightly and thought for a moment, "Gardenia is good, but it has always grown in the south, and it is transplanted to our hospital, even if my sister does her best, I am afraid it will be difficult to feed." ”

Min Ji sneered at the emperor and said, "You guy, just embarrass me, if the water and soil are not suitable, even the gods can't do anything." You, let's get another one! ”

The emperor took her hand, his thumb rubbing at the tiger's mouth, "I still remember what you said during the audition, didn't you say that you didn't like gardenias?" ”

"But what a fragrant gardenia! However, on the day of the show, the flowers on the concubine's hairpin had no taste at all, and I don't know who moved the gardenias from the south to Yanjing. ”

The emperor touched his nose weakly, this matter was arranged by him in his early years. He always felt that the flowers and trees in the south were gentle and suitable, and he was especially fond of magnolia and gardenia, so he asked the governor of Sichuan-Shaanxi and the governor of Jiangnan to send seedlings and plant them in the palace. Magnolia couldn't survive in the end, and died in a few days, but Gardenia was a little stronger, still holding on in the bleak wind and cold rain in the north.

"That's it, look at the embarrassment of the two of you, I will make a decision!" He stood with his hands in his hands and sighed with emotion, "Plant a pear tree as usual, and let the pomegranate seedlings selected by the Internal Affairs Office be planted in the flower bed on the left." Minji, you like orchids, just bring a few more pots together. ”

It is definitely a first-class honor to make the emperor think about the arrangement of the residence of the harem concubines. The emperor saw those lifeless trees last night, and felt that it was not good after all, and it was an ulterior motive to give pomegranates, and people said that "pomegranates have many seeds", what was he thinking, I hope she could see through.

Min Ji and Jia Fangyi lived in the new palace, and the concubines and concubines of the six palaces in the east and west naturally had to visit and celebrate, so the emperor did not stay long before returning to the Qianqing Palace. Anyway, it's not far away, so you can come whenever you want.

After lunch, Su Wanqing lazily lay in the huanghuali carved phoenix bird chaise longue with her eyes closed and recuperated, covered with a goose down quilt, very comfortable and comfortable. Unconsciously, she fell asleep, and called several times to draw the piano, and finally she couldn't resist the lazy sleep, waved her hand and turned over and fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it seemed that the time had passed, and when Chunlan waited for her to get up, Huaqin walked into the bedroom and said, "Little master, the little master of Concubine Rong has come to celebrate your move to a new home, and she is already waiting in the outer hall." ”

Surprised, she turned around and asked, "When?" ”

Huaqin bowed and said, "It's been half an hour, and the slave maid originally said to wake you up, but Concubine Rong said that she didn't have to, so she kept ...

Su Wanqing didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she lifted her skirt and walked out, bypassing the screen of the carved orchid gui, and saw Yuan Xingying sitting in the outer hall behind the partition, she looked at the grass and trees in the courtyard with a faint gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

She coughed lightly, and saw Yuan Xingying come back to her senses and hurriedly got up, but the relationship between the two was extremely awkward, and in the end, it was Su Wanqing who said first, "Why did Little Master Rong remember to come to me today?" ”

Yuan Xingying was a little afraid to look directly into her eyes, she didn't know if it was because of her weak heart or what, so she said slowly, "I heard that my sister Xinciju Chengqian Palace was supposed to come early in the morning to celebrate, but I wanted to say hello to Concubine Shuniang in the morning, so I delayed it." She paused for a moment and continued, "A few days ago, I was not in good health, and it was not easy for me to come to visit you, for fear that I would pass on my illness to you. ”

Su Wan let out a faint "oh", raised his finger and pointed to the high-legged nanmu chair in the hall, and motioned for her to sit, "I didn't know that the little master was sick, and I didn't visit, so the little master is not strange." ”

Yuan Xingying waved her hand again and again, being sick was just an excuse for her. Since being snubbed that day, she still hoped that the emperor would remember her, but she waited and waited in Changchun Palace, but in the end she failed to expect the emperor's will.

She leaned over slightly, a little restless, took the exquisitely packaged gift box on her side and said, "Sister Jia moved to a new house, I prepared some light gifts after thinking about it, maybe before my sister was favored, it was really nothing." But this is a piece of my heart, and my sister still accepts it..."

Su Wanqing put down the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand, looked at her deeply and said, "You and my sister are affectionate, where do you need such courtesy?" My sister is out of sight like this. ”

Yuan Xingying's eyes suddenly turned red, she blinked twice evasively, lowered her head and pulled her fingers, "I know that Sister Jia is still blaming me, and she is still thinking about the incident a few days ago." She smiled bitterly, "It's because I'm too selfish, and I'm timid for fear of losing favor, so I ignore sisterhood." However, I didn't know what to do to make up for it. ”

Su Wanqing alienated her, precisely because she was unmoved when she was in danger, and she also put herself in her shoes afterwards, a concubine who had not been favored for a long time was favored by the saint, so naturally she didn't dare to meddle anymore, not to mention that most of the emperor's anger at that time came because of her.

"My sister is too careful, I don't think like that. I haven't visited my sister these days, it's really because I can't get away, and I've been sick for three days recently, so I sent a doctor to stay by my side! ”

Her tone was extremely light and calm, as if she really didn't take it to heart, Yuan Xingying was relieved, and returned to normal to look at the gift box and said, "Sister Jia is an elegant person, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't have anything to give, but I have recently got some good Huizhou rice paper and graphite, so I will give it to my sister to trace the painting!" ”

Su Wanqing glanced at the painting qin, and the painting qin took the gift box, and after putting it into the inner room, he came out with a rectangular flat black lacquer painted gold wooden box.

"It's a pity that I saw that my sister didn't look good and didn't dress up properly. Although this yarn silk apricot hairpin is not precious, it is very compatible with my sister's appearance, and it should be a gift to my sister. ”
