Chapter 181: Xihong
Hongfu didn't come to the wrong place. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info all the palace people in Huaqing Palace, the front because of the nurse hanged herself and could not live in peace, and now because the master is in a bad mood and all of them are sincerely afraid.
The atmosphere of Huaqing Hall was strange, and even before entering the hall, Hongfu's breathing became a little cautious. In this case, she shouldn't have gone in, but she couldn't help but come to the lower room and found her befriended Gong'e Miao'er.
Miao Er is a bold and careful person, and he is also a greedy and money-loving person. As soon as Hongfu came, the first thing she did was to give her the pearl hairpin that Ling'er gave her. When she saw the pearl hairpin, shining in the sun, she was very happy. However, after looking at it happily for a while, she asked Hongfu: "This time, what do you want me to do for you?" She loves money, but she knows that God will not give her the pie for nothing.
Hongfu smiled embarrassedly, and said directly: "Sister Miao'er has always been cheerful, so I'll just say it directly." This time, I wanted Sister Miao Er to ask someone to help me get a few saffron plants from outside the palace. ”
"Saffron is the flower of the Western Regions, what do you want this for?" Miao Er asked strangely.
"We Lingmei know that Queen Xigong is a lover of flowers, so we thought about giving her the rarest flower in the world. I heard that Xihong grows in the desert of the Western Regions, and when the sun sets, it will bloom bright red flowers towards the western sky, gorgeous and dazzling, thinking that it is rare in the world, and it is also the most commensurate with the Queen of the West, so I told Lingmeiren. When Lingmei heard this, she asked me to find saffron for her. Hongfu said and took Miao'er's hand and pleaded, "I know that Sister Miao'er's father often travels to and from the Western Regions with the wealthy merchants in the capital, and there must be a way to get saffron." ”
"By coincidence, my father fell in the courtyard of the house. A few plants were planted. Miao Er said thoughtfully, looked at Hongfu and asked, "I seem to have talked to you about it, right?" ”
"Nope." Hongfu pretended to be surprised, and quickly rejoiced: "Sister Miao'er has saffron in her house?" Then you must help me. I'll tell the Lady of Beauty. Let her buy it from your father for a large sum of money. ”
"How much can you withdraw?" Miao Er immediately asked.
"This ...... I'll have to go back and ask the Lingmei. However, in order to curry favor with the Queen of the West. We bought this saffron. Hongfu's expression was very firm, and he didn't forget to say, "The emperor is determined to review and approve the performance in the West Palace, which shows the emperor's deep love for the Queen of the West." At this time, I'm afraid that the ladies of the palace are thinking about the Queen of the West, right? By the way, the concubine is not going to do anything? ”
"How can the concubine have such leisure."
"Sister Miao'er, don't hide it from me," Hongfu laughed, "At this time, the masters of each palace will do something for the West Palace." If the concubine is indifferent, it is always bad, and she will be isolated by the palace people in the future, but she will have no fun. I think, Guifei Niangniang is a smart ......" Seeing Hongfu gradually showing a thoughtful look, Hongfu suddenly stopped talking, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Miao'er, you won't change your mind and dedicate the precious Xihong to Guifei Niangniang as a way to invite merit, right?" ”
Miao Er suddenly grabbed Hongfu's hand. put the pearl hairpin back in her palm, hooked the corner of her lips and said: "Who is my saffron for, I haven't decided yet, so how can I change my mind?" ”
"Sister Miao'er, ...... you"
"I still have a lot of work to do. I won't accompany you, you can do it yourself. Miao Er said goodbye and left.
Hongfu's face, which was originally a little annoyed, rose to a hundred percent smugness after she turned around. She was standing sideways. Like the most cunning person in this palace.
And in any case, Hongfu said it with Miao'er. The people in each palace will think of ways to please the Queen of the West Palace, Shen Shiyan'er, and it is not false at all. I heard that the emperor was going to review the folds in the West Palace, and it was half a day's work. There were no less than four concubines who went to the West Palace to send this and that to Shen Yan, and it was Wei Min, the Eastern Queen, who also deliberately added a lot of money to the West Palace on this day.
Shen Yan accepted all the benefits given by the sisters, and let Su You record them one by one, leaving them with a "gentle" temperament in front of the sisters. Li Chengqi knew this, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, not knowing whether it was joy or what kind of emotion he was alongside him. He didn't say anything, and Shen Yan didn't ask, but joked: "Thanks to you, I can get so much respect from my sisters." ”
"If only they respected you." Li Chengqi said, "If anyone disrespects you, just tell me, and I will make her look good." ”
"But I don't know if Ling'er will respect me." Shen Yan looked at Li Chengqi carefully, and still looked at the imperceptible changes on his face when he heard these words, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"She will." Unconsciously silent for a long time, Li Chengqi, who suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly spoke up, but found that it was too late. He walked up to Shen Yan and almost pleaded: "Yan'er, we don't mention Ling'er these days, how about a good place?" I hope that we are still the same as you and me, and we have not changed. ”
Facing his affection, Shen Yan tapped her chin.
Most of the day passed, and the people who should have come came, but Lingmei herself didn't come, which also made Hongfu send her heart. To Shen Yan's surprise, after she finished her lunch, Jiao Huaiyu didn't come over or send someone over to say something to her.
Only Jiao Huaiyu. Could it be that she didn't have the energy to deal with such details when disaster was imminent?
Obviously, Shen Yan was wrong. When the sun was setting, Jiao Huaiyu brought two pots of red and blooming West Red to the West Palace. Looking at the two gorgeous red flowers, everyone in the West Palace felt novel. Shen Yan, who has always loved flowers, was even more surprised and delighted. Her gaze was quickly attracted by the flower that looked like a lily but was as colored as blood. She stepped forward, didn't look at Jiao Huaiyu and asked, "What kind of flower is this?" ”
"Flower of the Western Regions." Before Jiao Huaiyu talked about the origin of this flower, he put up a mystery.
Hearing that when the sun was setting in the west, it was blooming towards the heavenly palace in the west, and Li Chengqi only felt wonderful. "This flower can be described as a flower that blooms for the Queen of the West." He also didn't forget to praise Jiao Huaiyu, "Concubine Jiao, this flower was given to the Queen of the West, and it was a good gift." ”
"The concubine also thinks that it is the most suitable for Xihong to give to Queen Xi." Jiao Huaiyu was very happy to get such praise from Li Chengqi.
Such a beautiful flower, but there is no fragrance. Thinking like this, Shen Yan leaned over and sniffed the blooming flowers of Xihong, but was shocked to find that the fragrance of this flower could only be smelled when she was close. And this faint fragrance is intoxicating and can't bear to give up.
"It smells so good." She couldn't help sighing, but she thought that such a refreshing taste could not be summed up by the word "incense".
Li Chengqi had never seen her so intoxicated by a flower, so he couldn't help but step forward and sniff it too. Smelling the fragrance, he frowned slightly, "There are such fragrant flowers, I have never smelled this kind of fragrance." ”
"Sister Huaiyu, thank you for sending me such a good flower." Shen Yan thanked Jiao Huaiyu from the bottom of her heart, and didn't forget to ask: "Where did you get this peanut from the desert?" ”
"I asked a friend outside the palace to find it." Jiao Huaiyu quickly changed the topic and said: "Sister, this flower was born in the desert, and it is delicate and afraid of the cold, you must remember to burn a stove around it." ”
"Okay, I will." Shen Yan's happy smile came from the heart. She knew that Jiao Huaiyu was so dedicated to what she liked, but it was just to get into less trouble. But she, if she receives a good gift, she will still find out if she should check it clearly.
After Jiao Huaiyu left, she ordered someone to take care of these two pots of saffron. Throughout the night, Li Chengqi watched the twists and turns, and she spent almost all of her time with these two flowers. Smelling the faint fragrance of saffron, she only felt that her heart was so quiet that she wanted to go on like this. It was as if she could lose everything except these two flowers.
How can this flower have such great magic? At a certain moment, she also thought about it in such a panic, but this little thought could not be defeated by the temptation of the fragrance of flowers.
The next day was another day of gentle sunshine.
Cui Mama and Xiyu entered the palace from Ning'an City. When they entered Shen Yan, both of them were a little excited, and before they could say a few words, Xiyu knelt in front of Shen Yan, hugging her dress and crying. She thought for a moment that the wonderful young lady who had been waiting for her was dead.
Shen Yan has no extra relatives in this world, and Xiyu has grown up with her since she was a child, just like her sister. Listening to her crying, her nose was also sour. She lifted the woman's hair, but her face did not change much, and she asked with tears in her eyes, "How are you doing?" How is Yan Yongxu treating you? ”
Xiyu wiped a handful of snot and tears indiscriminately, and nodded incessantly. "Well, he treated me very well. Miss...... No, Niangniang, Niangniang, how have you been this year? How are you doing? Xiyu really misses you......" said her, tears rained down again.
It's time to talk about something serious. It's just that from beginning to end, Li Chengqi refused to leave, and Shen Yan secretly reminded him many times, but he just wouldn't leave.
"Let's go, this palace will take you to see the emperor's harem garden." In desperation, Shen Yan endured her anger and made such a decision. As the king of a country, Li Chengqi will never follow her to take two inferior people to visit the garden, right?
Naturally, Li Chengqi was helpless. It's just that after Shen Yan left, he glanced at Mama Cui and Xiyu meaningfully, and told her not to talk nonsense.
With only this one hint of murderous intent, Mama Cui and Xiyu both sank their heads in fright, and accelerated their pace to keep up with Shen Yan.
In the boundless and incomparably prosperous garden of the harem at a glance, Shen Yan let Su You and the others who accompanied him out stay in place, and only took Cui Mama and Xiyu to a secluded place.
When she came to a gazebo, she asked with her back: "What did the emperor let you hide from the palace?" What happened in the year when Hongu was away? Grandma Cui," she looked back, her gaze falling on Grandma Cui's face, "Can you tell this palace?" ”
Mama Cui shook her head and didn't say anything.
"Cherish the jade?" Shen Yan pinned her hopes on Xiyu again.
Xiyu frowned, but only said: "The past, don't ask about the past." ”
"Xiyu, you and Bengong have played since childhood. You are the one who really belongs to this palace, and you should listen to this palace. ”
In the flower garden in the distance, two people dressed as the Imperial Forest Army held arrows in their hands, facing the direction of Cui Mama and Xiyu, pointing directly at the two of them, ready to go. (To be continued.) )
