50. Chapter 50: The Second Election (5)
"Sister Guerjia is right, the slave likes this golden eighteenth bachelor camellia." Fu Cha Xiangyun, who was standing next to Yilu, suddenly looked up at the Guerjia clan, and then said with a flattering smile.
At the same time, she was a little apprehensive in her heart, for daring to steal the limelight of the Guerjia clan, it was not originally a woman with a family like her who dared to do it.
But wealth is in danger, she is already dressed like this today, if she is not desperate, it will be difficult for her to get the eyes above, so the work she has done will be wasted.
"Eighteen?" The Borzijit clan, who didn't understand what it was, asked stupidly, but he didn't want to cooperate with Fu Cha Xiangyun's words.
"Eighteen bachelors is a treasure in the camellia, the tree shape is beautiful, the flower structure is peculiar, it is composed of nearly a hundred petals to form a hexagonal corolla, the tower shape is clearly layered, arranged in an orderly manner, and it is very beautiful. The petals of the adjacent two corners are arranged in eighteen rounds, so it is called "eighteen bachelors"
Fu Chaxiangyun said shyly and modestly.
Hearing this, Borzigit said with some disappointment: "Oh, so you are talking about this camellia!" β
Borzigit's words made everyone laugh, not about the camellia or something! Could it be that it is said that the eighteen scholars of the Tang Dynasty?
If this is the Han people in power, some people may dare to say it, but this is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the people present are all Manchurian Gege, Mongolian Gege, and few people know what the eighteen bachelors of the Tang Dynasty are.
At this time, Yi Xiang, the cheap sister-in-law, interjected with a smile, "Naturally, it's the camellia, but these 'eighteen bachelors' are mostly red, white and pink, and this golden eighteen bachelor camellia slave is the first time I have seen it." β
But Ilu agreed, and this was the first time she had seen it.
She clearly remembered that this golden camellia was found in Guangxi after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there was no record of the golden camellia before.
Moreover, the golden camellia blooms mostly in the shape of a cup, a pot or a bowl, but it is not like the Eighteen Bachelors, is it a species that has disappeared in history?
"This is the filial piety of the governor of Liangguang, and the mourning family looks strange." The Empress Dowager glanced at Yi Xiang and said, although her smile did not decrease, her tone was two points lighter.
At this time, Yi Lu didn't have the heart to continue to observe Concubine De, and sighed in his heart, could it be that Sister Cheap is going to get into trouble today?
looked up at the cheap sister-in-law, as if she hadn't noticed the change in the queen mother's tone, and she was very excited.
At this time, Concubine Tong Guifei played a round game, and asked with a smile: "Which family is this, who is so knowledgeable." β
Yi Xiang blushed slightly at this time and lowered his head and said: "Back to the words of the concubine Niangniang, the slave's Ama is the Eighth Rank Prison of the Criminal Department, Ilgen Hua'an, the slave deserves such praise from the concubine Niangniang, but the slave Eniang Tong Jiahuilan loves these flowers and plants very much, so the slave has only heard of it." β
It's the Gege of the Ilgen Kyoro family. I heard about his mother Tong Jia's clan again, so everyone Gege understood why Concubine Tong would protect this Yiergen Gege, in the final analysis, it was still the advantage of the same clan.
Every time there is a draft, there are people who must leave a brand, unless these people suddenly get sick or something unexpected happens, even the imperial concubines and the fourth concubine cannot prevent them from entering the palace or marrying into the clan.
Of course, if you deliberately pretend to be deaf and dumb, or use some intrigue and trickery, you don't know, but what the consequences will be.
And most of this year's batch of show girls have already belonged to the kind that has been decided, Guarjia Gege, Nalagege, and Guo Luo Luo Gege heard that they have all been given to several princes as candidates for their wives.
Especially this Guerjia Gege and Guo Luo Luo Gege, that is like thunder, one has been secretly sent by the Lord Wansui since birthβ‘β‘ to be the crown princess for the crown prince.
Another Guo Luo Luo Gege is the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le, the power of the court is quite large, and he has been very loved by Prince An Yue Le since he was a child.
So this personality has been flying and domineering since he was a child, and he looks even brighter and moving, so he is very flamboyant, but I don't know how it can be so quiet today.
However, I heard that since this Gege was almost assassinated two years ago, his temperament has been much more restrained and quiet, and he was frightened, so it is understandable that he is much quieter and cautious in the palace.
All the mothers have a bottom in their hearts.
It's just that today's extra few people who are not inconspicuous are particularly conspicuous on the field.
You know, now in the pavilion, the family is not below the five-grade officials, and suddenly an eight-rank official suddenly appeared, what is this very eye-catching?
However, in the end, it was invited by the queen mother's old man, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Look at the looks of Fu Cha Xiangyun and Yi Xiang, they are the kind of men who will look at each other at a glance.
One person is gorgeous and flamboyant, the other is gentle and exquisite, several ladies on the field are unconsciously tightening their palms, and their hearts are like facing a big enemy, this is not good to enter the palace and it is a big enemy, it seems that they have to find a way to get rid of it.
Look at the other person on the field who is not obvious, Gege, who looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, at the age of a young and beautiful girl, he looks very national, but he doesn't look open at all.
Coupled with Yilu's deliberate dress, the whole person looks very small, very lively and innocent, and a little coquettish.
In a word, this is a little kid. Therefore, several mothers were very relaxed.
You know, Long Live Lord is not a child-type now, so let's think about how to get rid of those two good-looking Gege.
But in fact, then again, this show girl of the Qing Dynasty looks at it from a modern point of view, who is not a little child!
The hair has not grown, and some show girls and aunts have not necessarily been here. Once again, I sighed - the draft girl or something is the future flower that destroys the motherland!
Concubine Yi looked at Yilu's petite body and baby face, and the eyes of Concubine De and Concubine Yi paused, and then Concubine Yi Guo Luo Luo smiled and said:
"This is the other Gege next to Fu Chagege, who looks petite than the other show girls, whose Gege is this?"
This Concubine Yi has always been a hearty and generous character, so she didn't mind asking questions.
Yi Lu didn't seem to hear the meaning of Concubine Yi's words, and he didn't dare to hear the meaning of the words!
This identity is very different, don't say that this Yifei Niangniang just said that she was not well developed, that is, she had to answer happily if she was ugly, not to mention just a little ridicule?
Therefore, Yi Ludao is not hypocritical, and replied very generously: "If you go back to Concubine Yi's mother, the slave's Ama is the Eighth Rank Prison of the Criminal Department, Ilgen Hua'an." β
Then he said casually: "The slave is 13 years old this year, but he is not young." β
The whole voice was soft and glutinous, coupled with a small baby-faced body, which made it look petite and cute, which caused everyone on the field to laugh for a while.
But you must know that these are all Manchu and Mongolian nobles, no matter how much you laugh, the voice is also very restrained and beautiful.
"Oh, also from the Ilgen's? It seems that this year, the Ilgen family is going to fly out of two grids, and seeing that your sister is also very bright and beautiful, I can't say that there will be one more sister in the palace; Concubine Yi said as if she didn't care.
Frightened, Yilu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave doesn't dare." β
"Let's get up, if there are sisters who can enter the palace to serve the emperor, the palace will be very happy." Concubine Yi was just trying to beat the other two Gege, so she didn't deliberately embarrass Yilu and gave in.
Hearing this, the few ladies next to her were nervous, although they knew that what Concubine Yi said was not this Yi Xiaogege, but the general election, in short, was to enter the people.
Besides, the arrival of Ilgen and Fucha Gege really worried them.
But in the end, they have already sat on the fourth concubine, don't look at the long live lord who is now spoiling some young concubines, in the final analysis, it is just a man's slight roots, long live the lord is very stingy with the concubine position, and the threat to them is not big.
But in the end, it's to stop one or two.
Then the Queen Mother smiled and asked, "Do you know how to ride and shoot?" β
Yi Lu's expression was a little tangled, and then he said honestly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave's Ama once rode a horse with the minion, and the slave himself could ride alone for a while, but he didn't dare to ride for too long." β
"The mourning family heard that your Ama is good at riding and shooting, as a Manchurian Gege, not good at riding and shooting, it's really a bit of a waste, what else have you ever had?"
The queen mother asked with interest, looking at this Yi Xiaogege, not ostentatious, not stage frightened, knowing how to hide clumsily and not showing his edge, it is really rare to be at a young age.
In fact, seeing her is like seeing yourself back then, struggling in this harem, carefully hiding herself, and only then did she have today.
Now this little Gege, I don't know why she has cultivated, is so cautious, just like her back then, so she wants to give her a chance to see if she can seize it.
Yi Lu suddenly put on a bitter face, "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave knows a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but is not proficient, and the female red is even more she knows it, but it doesn't know her at all." β
"And this?"
"Of course!"
Seeing that she was so clumsy, everyone had their own life, and they said no more.
Then he smiled at the remaining Gege in the pavilion, and looked at the emperor's concubines to ask about their favorite Gege.
I hope that this year I can really enter a few Manchurian show girls who are in line with the emperor's heart, and I always spoil some Han army banner concubines, which really makes several Manchurian nobles complain a lot.
She hopes that the emperor can be more obedient and live a few more years with a strong body, so that her life can be better, otherwise, who will remember who she is?
