96. Thousand Autumn Festival

The five-month funeral is not long, but it is not short. Shuheng reads and writes graffiti every day, hugs the little brother and teases the eldest brother, which saves a lot of trouble in communication, and the life is very leisurely. I heard that the county lord of Wenhe had a big fire at the night banquet of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the lord of Herui County was in the limelight as usual at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and I heard that Princess Jing'an was pregnant, and I heard that the princess of Fuguo was ready to find his daughter-in-law, Shuheng only listened to the story and smiled slightly.

In autumn, it will soon be the queen's Qianqiu Festival, and the harem concubines and concubines will enter the palace together to congratulate. Because the little brother Shuyan was a little feverish, Mrs. Yuan didn't go out, so Shuheng brought gifts into the palace by herself.

The palace has been in too many times, and now it is used to it, and I don't feel apprehensive or very honored. After getting out of the palace, Shuheng went directly to Yongning Palace to ask for peace. Concubine Yuan was indeed there. According to the product grooming, the phoenix crown is pressed heavily, and it looks really - very tired! She sat next to the queen, dignified and amiable, not much to say, and when she saw Shuheng coming, she got up with a smile and pulled her over: "It's too big, I said to call you in, but it's a pity that the girl is too big and busy, and I can't call it anymore." ”

Shuheng hurriedly said: "The words of the noble concubine have tormented Shuheng. I had a little typhoid fever a few days ago, and I was afraid that I would get sick. ”

"Aunt is joking with you, look at you scared." Concubine Yuan carefully rubbed her face: "Good Peugeot appearance." I haven't seen you for a long time, Heng'er has grown up. As he spoke, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

"Ah Xue, my good life, you are not allowed to be sad." The queen smiled and spoke. Her figure has been blessed, her appearance is no longer bright, her round face, the lines at the corners of her eyes are clearly visible when she smiles, and she said to Shuheng: "It's good to come back, that girl in Jing'an always thinks of you." ”

Shuheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down in accordance with the rules: "I wish the mother of the country a thousand years old, blessings like flowing water in the east, and longevity than Nanshan Stone." ”

"Good boy." The queen personally stretched out her hand to hold her up, took a closer look, and said with a smile: "It's really a good look, it has the original taste of Ah Xue." The nose is especially similar. ”

Before Concubine Yuan could speak, another concubine immediately responded: "Sister's words are bad, there is the original taste, but there is no current taste?" Concubine Yuan's sister is the original jade branch crystal snow outside the sky. ”

When Shu Heng heard the voice, he knew that this person was Concubine Li Shu. As one of the oldest concubines in the palace, she naturally sat on the top right of the queen. Wearing a red palace satin embroidered phoenix with pearl brocade, a Chaoyang five phoenix peony hairpin on the head, a big red treasure on the head of the phoenix is reflected in the center of the eyebrows, the eyebrows are also dyed with gold powder, the lips are greased, and the tail of the eyes is red. Two pairs of four emerald magnolia butterflies in front and back, the first four hanging rice grain beads are shaken, and the necks are decorated with five blessings and gold seals, and the colorful silk Luan phoenix clothes. Concubine Li loves this kind of dress the most, and she will play tricks on any occasion that can steal the limelight. However, to be honest, her face looks quite old, and she belongs to the kind that can't stand the trials and tribulations of time. Now the jewels only show her withering.

In this case, Concubine Yuan is not suitable to speak, and the queen has never been good at this kind of delicate bickering, Shuheng walked up to Concubine Li and bowed slightly: "Niangniang is surprised by this." Aunt Guifei's demeanor is clear, Rong Yi can reach half of it, so she feels fortunate and doesn't dare to expect more. ”

"The niece of the Yuan family is so humble and respectful, no wonder even His Majesty likes it. Our children can't ask for it. The topic turned rather stiffly, and I don't know why it was about their children.

Shuheng looked up and found that this was Concubine Zhang Li. Concubine Zhang Li's dignified and uncharacteristic face is now more and more obvious, and her appearance has not changed much. Shuheng immediately thought of the conflict with Zhang Dieyi by the Shangjing River, but he didn't expect this woman to hold such a grudge and linger until now.

However, Shuheng did not intend to please this woman every time, even though she has not been weak since five years ago. So he didn't apologize or be relieved, but smiled lightly: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, love me and blame me are all gifts, I only respectfully accept it." ”

Concubine Zhang was choked for a moment, and she was speechless for a while. Shuheng immediately walked in front of the queen: "I have prepared a congratulatory gift, please take a look at the mother." ”

Concubine Li snorted: "Dingguo Gong or Yuan Guifei didn't teach you the rules in the palace?" Even if you haven't taught yourself to enter so many meetings, don't you know that the congratulatory gifts from the Inner Court are to be sent to the Internal Affairs Office first? It has been inspected, verified, registered, and screened by eunuchs and palace maids before it can be sent to the master. ”

Shuheng looked at her fixedly: "I know." "Not a word of explanation. The queen immediately smiled and said, "What's the matter?" I love to open gifts in front of all the visitors! ”

Shuheng smiled gently, she stretched out her hands and patted them gently, and the red-sleeved tangerine immediately carried a boxy wooden box over. Place on a large tray lined with apricot yellow fleece. The lock of the wooden box was a delicate lamb. The queen looked, really happy, personally came to open the box, there is a rosewood four sheep root carving, a big sheep three lambs, one of the lambs has a small horn, obviously a male sheep, the other two are small ewes, there are four words below the root carving, it is Shuheng asked Yuan Guogong to write, and then asked someone to engrave it, it is "Fushou Yongning".

The meaning of this carving is very obvious, she and her prince and daughter are a happy family, like this sheep, peaceful and happy, and the queen happens to live in Yongning Palace. This lady has no culture, so the poems and paintings are still forgotten, but the jewelry is too vulgar. Gifts are not expensive, but on coincidence, and the most important thing is to match the other party's mind. She naturally likes this birthday gift. "This carved image is also like." The queen couldn't put it down and stroked the back and neck of the lamb: "These eyes are so watery and well-carved, the lamb looks at the ewe like this." ”

Shuheng said with a smile: "This was originally personally operated by the master of the Luban Bureau, and he has the name of a master of heaven, and it is their honor to be able to give a gift to his mother." ”

The queen was naturally happy and shouted a stack of rewards.

Concubine Li snorted disdainfully: "Kun Wei is the phoenix body, the king of birds, I haven't heard of sending sheep." ”

Shu Heng looked at her in surprise: "Your Majesty's son is naturally a dragon's son, so how can you understand that His Majesty gave His Royal Highness the Second Prince a black jade roaring dog?" ”

Concubine Li's face turned completely dark, and Concubine Yuan hurriedly greeted: "Heng'er, the girls are all in the white incense garden, you go there to play." She still relieved her niece, afraid that this brainless Concubine Li would make Shuheng suffer a loss regardless of the consequences.

Shuheng naturally understood, gave another salute, and slowly withdrew. Concubine Li looked at the back and gritted her teeth.

In the past, Shuheng might have chosen to compromise on everything, but after encountering a frightened horse, a wolf, and then an assassination, his mind changed a little. It is better to be more comfortable and free and easy, as long as the result is under control, then these details will go with it. Whether it's Concubine Li, the Queen Mother, or Concubine Zhang, she won't be able to change her mind just because she has a better attitude, so why bother acting with a smile in vain?

Baixiangpu is still a gathering place for celebrities and noblewomen. As soon as Shuheng walked in, the people in the courtroom all looked at her without exception. Autumn water is like a god, jade is the bone, and the xia is the colorful flower for the soul. The figure is slender, the flowers are blooming cardamom, the eyebrows are bright, and the moon reflects all around. The whole person seems to have a peculiar magnetic field, which makes people can't help but look at it and never forget it.

Look at her clothes again, the peony blossom pearl yarn silver thread trimmed tunic skirt, the smoke moon pear blossom wide-sleeved hook moire long dress, the rose palace silk hibiscus and white jade pendant at the corner of the skirt between the steps swayed slightly, echoing the mountain bird pattern jade butterfly on the head. A pair of white magnolia earrings on the ears are pulling the long and thin silver threads, but they are motionless, as if stepping on clouds under their feet, and the embroidered shoes are not stained with dust. This gait is specially practiced by Shuheng, the posture of the shoulder and neck, the angle of the chin, the position of the hands, the frequency and stride length of the feet. When she was in Jiangnan, she had the heart to study it, and she also specially asked for etiquette.

When I grow up, some things don't have to be paid attention to like when I was young.

The older you get, the less society will tolerate you. The privileges of minors are gradually taken away.

This is something that she is particularly pleased with the Guogong couple. The girl finally stopped messing around and dressed casually, and began to take the initiative to cooperate with the public's aesthetics.

Looking at the amazed, envious or exclamatory eyes of everyone, Shuheng knew that he had succeeded.

The Queen's Thousand Autumn Festival is different from ordinary festivals, and there are especially more women who come to it. After a slight glance, Shuheng found that this white incense garden was more crowded than before. However, at this time, it was quiet and no one spoke. The first to react was Liu Yan. She smiled at Shuheng in a friendly manner: "Ah, Yuan Rongyi, I haven't seen it for a long time, who am I still thinking of this fairy."

Shuheng also smiled kindly, and let Liu Yan come over and hold her hand: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I still think everyone doesn't recognize me." ”

"Where, everyone is overwhelmed by your beauty." Liu Yan gently pulled her to the table where she usually sits, semi-forced her to sit in her place, and moved another stool over. Shuheng is very grateful.

Lord Herui looked at Shuheng in a daze at first, and when she sat down, she snorted very slightly, and moved to the side imperceptibly. Shu Heng noticed it, and only glanced at her lightly from the corner of his eye. He Rui was stabbed by the arrogance in his demeanor, and he felt a pang in his heart, and buried his head in eating tea.

King Su is unusable, it's no secret, but he has two sons, but it's a pity that he is a concubine. The title of Lord Herui was still invited by her grandfather when he was alive, and Herui was just a good name. King Shun has many daughters, and his daughter-in-law naturally has titles, but Liu Yan, who is a concubine, does not. Although she is very good, she is also a good concubine.

Shuheng looked carefully, the eighteenth change of the female university, Liu Yan, who opened her eyebrows and eyes, seemed to be better, and the lord of Herui still had to take the cold and cold route, but unfortunately she really didn't have the foundation of glamorous peach and plum - temperament still has an impact on people's appearance, always unwilling, dissatisfied, and many people who hate and complain, have accumulated in the middle for a long time, and will inevitably be outward.

"Is Jiangnan fun?"

"Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan Lao. I don't want to come back. ”

"Yes, they all say that Jiangnan raises people, and the girls are as bright as snow, and their eyebrows are boastful. Looking at Rong Yi's description, I also want to live there. Liu Yan smiled well-behaved: "Is there really a Qionghua there?" ”

"Wow, ice and snow are gods, **cut, that's a fantastic flower. The spring breeze is ten miles, the bead curtain is high, the Qiong flower is the moon, and the gold powder adds fragrance. ”

Liu Yan asked sloppily, and Shuheng also answered perfunctory. It's just that there is nothing to say.

"The girl of the Shen family married into the Fuguo Mansion last year. Mrs. Xiao Yan gave a full dowry, hundreds of boxes, and the end was magnificent. Although the Duchess of Fuguo is cold but very fair, it is also good to have such a mother-in-law. Liu Yan is a good person, seeing Shuheng's lack of interest, she opened a breakthrough from her good sister.

Shu Heng really came to be interested: "After she got married, I haven't been to see her, and I must visit her at the Fuguo Mansion another day." ”

Seeing that Liu Yan, who had always followed him, was so good with Shuheng, the county lord of Herui was annoyed and resentful in his heart, but fortunately he brushed his sleeves away. It's so big that someone has noticed it. Liu Yan was also startled, looked at her, looked at Shuheng again, hesitated slightly, smiled at Shuheng embarrassedly, got up and chased after him.

Shu Hengxin said, this Liu Yan is really interesting. If she sits still, her appearance will be too conspicuous and her status will be low. Sure enough, chasing after the past will only seem to be nostalgic for old friends, and Shuheng certainly won't care about these little things. She was quite thoughtful. However, there is only one person left in Shuheng -

Hey, the friends of the past have their own places to go, and when they get together after a farewell, they can't find the feeling of the past.
