22. Dragon Boat Festival

Everything is verdant, ** correspondingly, the auspicious days of the zodiac are day after day, and the red and white ceremonies are also one after another. Anwangfu drove the concubine, the princess of Shunwangfu celebrated her birthday, the prince of Ningyuan's mansion married, and the daughter of Liangguo Mansion married, until everything was taken care of clearly, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived. Mrs. Yuan finally got free, so she handed over the sign and brought Shuheng into the palace to worship. Although the harem has been entered many times, Mrs. Yuan is as cautious as she has always been, and she has never been sloppy. She carefully made up early in the morning, and Shuheng had no title, so she picked out the most colorful and festive clothes and packaged her as a Fuwa.

The neck is bright and yellow, hanging the longevity of the longevity given by the concubine, the crow crow's hair is combed out of two children's mustaches, tightly tied up with spring red palace silk, and a golden silk bead peony flower is knotted on one side, wearing the wrong golden hundred butterflies wearing a flower red thin silk jacket, knee-high to reveal the autumn fragrance sprinkled gold tuanhua Luo skirt, and a bright purple silk lotus moire gauze shirt on the outside, it looks really hot.

Shuheng sighed lightly, twisted his neck that was sore by the collar, raised his small hand with a coral red bracelet to cover his eyes, and looked at the edge of the wall, where the red sun was already hanging. "The neck is short in spring and the tail is long in summer, and the red sun is scorching early", Shuheng sighed decently, and his tone was like an old man who had experienced vicissitudes. Mrs. Yuan glanced at her line of sight and calmly dismantled the stage: "It's because the palace wall is too high." ”

Mrs. Yuan is pregnant this time, which is really blessed, and she has no pregnancy reaction of vomiting and dizziness of other pregnant women. Not only that, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, her appetite and spirit have improved, and even the bitter summer of previous years is gone this year. Now that it's March, my body is stable, and everything is business as usual.

Recently, the temperature has risen rapidly, and there is a little sweat on her forehead. Fortunately, both the mother and daughter are light makeup, and the powder is only wiped with a thin layer, so there is no worry about flowers. Mrs. Yuan was originally a first-class order, she changed the carriage outside the palace gate, and changed the soft sedan chair inside the palace gate, and she could still sit on the shoulder and go straight to the outside of the palace. And Shuheng is young, and according to his feelings, he can share the same kindness with his mother, and Mrs. Yuan is very careful in her heart when she looks at it and is free and easy, and she has never exceeded the rules at all. Shuheng hugged her back and forth when she was in swaddling clothes, and after Shuheng left, he insisted on holding her hand when he got off the sedan chair and entered the inner courtyard. Shuheng admires Mrs. Yuan's style very much, she is not ostentatious or pretentious, and she is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. When she walked slightly gasping for breath, she mistakenly saw a shoulder frame walking at the foot of the West Palace wall.

There was a bright-eyed girl sitting on the oily green shoulder, and when she saw Shuheng looking at her, she said "yo", made the appearance of just seeing her, ordered the shoulder to stop, stood up slowly, and only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting: "Mrs. Dingguo, eldest lady." ”

"Lord Wenhe." Mrs. Yuan didn't mind seeing her arrogant demeanor, but she felt quite ridiculous. Today's king of Nan'an County is not allowed to be reused, and he was reprimanded for the funeral banquet, but now she is not as good as a day, and she is holding it in front of her. When I looked at her last year, I thought it was very cute, but I didn't expect it to look like this in more than a year.

"What's the big girl reading lately?"

This question was quite sudden, and Shu Heng didn't think much about it, and said honestly: "I just passed the Five Classics." ”

The county lord of Wenhe nodded slightly, "I'm going to Yong'an Palace to talk to the Queen Mother, so I won't delay." ”

Mrs. Yuan smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Then naturally it can't be delayed, please." ”

Shu Heng looked at the proud peacock-like girl on her shoulders walking away, she touched her nose: "I remember, the last time I went to Guangji Temple to make incense, she glared at me." ”

Mrs. Yuan was happy: "She glared at you? How did I not know? Did you stare back? ”

Shuheng shook his head: "She glared at me from a distance in the crowd, and then left." ”

"This is strange, inexplicably resentful, your physique is like your father."

Shuheng nodded depressedly: "She thought I didn't find it, but I actually felt it." In fact, when she celebrated her birthday last year, she was quite friendly, and the princess was also quite friendly. But now people are celebrities, the piano can be high mountains and flowing water, and the painting can bring Wu to the wind, and now the queen mother likes it, and it is normal to be proud. ”

Mrs. Yuan sneered in her nose: "You see that she is still arrogant in front of the Queen Mother." She is three years older than you, and now she has finally opened her mind, and you will practice for another two years, and Guan Bao is much stronger than her. "In Madame's eyes, her own daughter is the best, and Wen and her are just because of their age.

Why is this all of a sudden I saw her in the county king's mansion the year before last, the girl with the real red jacket and embroidered crossed legs and strange rabbits was still shooting the ball, although she was a little arrogant, she was cute, and she looked at Shuheng staring at her clothes, and proudly pulled it to her. I didn't offend her later, what's wrong? Shu Heng looked at the shoulder of the county lord of Wenhe and slowly disappeared around the corner, and his heart was inexplicable.

Concubine Yuan's Zhaoren Palace was accompanied by the east side of the Yongning Palace in the main palace, and as soon as Shuheng's mother and daughter stood outside the hall and had not yet passed the message, a little eunuch rushed to greet her: "Niangniang has been waiting for a long time, Madame, please hurry." Mrs. Yuan thanked her first, and then pulled Shuheng to advance into the hall.

Shuheng's aunt is elegant and clear-skinned. Because the body is quite weak, the temperament is more transcendent, and there is the same charm between the eyebrows and eyes as Grandpa Guo, which is very like Sister Lin's taste. However, this sister Lin did not write poems, nor did she mourn the moon and bury flowers, nor did she make a trip with tears, on the contrary, she likes fireworks in the world.

At this moment, her person was not in the main hall, and as soon as the two of them turned around, she came out of the back room. There is the small kitchen set up by her Shohito Palace. The palace gate is deep, the years are long, and the palace concubines will generally choose piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and embroidery to pass the time, which is both elegant and exquisite. Concubine Yuan was unique, and chose one that was very inconsistent with her beautiful appearance, making vegetables and porridge. She likes to do it, but she is not keen on eating, and often uses it to honor the Queen Mother, or directly reward the people of the palace. After Shuheng was born, he became her main feeding object. This preference is not only because Shuheng is the first child of Dingguo Mansion and her first niece, but also because she will think of the little princess who died early when she sees Shuheng, and her love has been transferred.

Smoked willow-colored fine-grained Luo shirt, flying silver powder dark light, moon white Hunan skirt, fine embroidered blue waves, homely buns, white jade rhizome double flat square, light eyebrows slightly snail Dai, thin lips lightly Zhu Dansha, a pair of jasper earrings in the ear, bracelet rings are not made up, and there are traces of water on the two spring onion-like soft wattles.

Mrs. Yuan smiled when she looked at it, pulled Shuheng and saluted, and said, "Aunt Guifei, is this washing your hands and making soup again?" Look at this hand, it can be maintained so well even after being smoked by oil smoke, is it a natural beauty? ”

Zhaoren Palace has already been rectified by this weak master, and it is much easier to enter the palace gate.

"The girl is teasing me again." Concubine Yuan hurriedly called for excuses, and looked at the corner of her eyes angrily, like shame and coquettishness, with an indescribable style. On the one hand, a palace maid had already held a brocade to wipe her hands. "I've been preparing early in the morning, waiting for the two of you to come. Majesty Xià for the Dragon Boat Festival, the feast of the ministers, the evening banquet, at that time, this lady that ordered, but can not eat, today at noon we first enjoy ourselves! Because he saw the red clouds and sweat on the cheeks of the two of them, he hurriedly said: "Look at the big clothes, change your clothes quickly, it's such a hot day." He pulled Shuheng to his side again, wiped the corners of his forehead with a handkerchief, and told him softly, "You can't take it off, it's easiest for children to warm up and take off their clothes." ”

A palace maid had already moved a stool and a basin to serve, and Mrs. Yuan smiled while removing the hairpin ring and cleaning her hands and changing clothes: "Concubine, wait a while, I will let you taste my craftsmanship today." You should have known me earlier, and I will come with the quail that I have just caught. At this time, you can't eat you and use yours. Although her aunt and sister-in-law are divided into monarchs and ministers, they are very affectionate and laugh unscrupulously.

"Where do you dare to work your double body." The concubine personally took Mrs. Yuan's hand and sat on the kang with Rong Yun behind the sprinkling of the golden curtain, and took the apricot yellow phoenix peony brocade pillow for her to lean on: "How are you feeling lately?" Want to eat sour and spicy? ”

"Yes, very. I don't feel dizzy, I don't feel sleepy. I can eat and sleep well. Mrs. Yuan said that the fetus in her womb was even more radiant, and deliberately said: "I don't want to be sour or spicy, but I want to be sweet." The rose pine nut bee cake that the concubine appreciated before was sweet and glutinous and chewy. I love it. ”

"Yes. My mother gave me a piece, and I ate the rest by myself. Shuheng pouted and pretended to be pitiful.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and pulled her ears: "There are nourishing things in there, it wasn't for children, I then sent you a rose pie, or the secret recipe of Yunnan mentioned in the letter from the fourth aunt, you don't remember." ”

Shuheng circled his face and embarrassed himself: "Remember, remember, remember the benefits given by my mother." ”

The concubine carefully rubbed this jade-like face: "Niuniu is really getting more and more handsome, and she is becoming more and more sensible, it's really painful." Shu Heng stopped the concubine's arm and coquettishly said: "That lady has to hurry up and hurt Heng'er, I'm afraid that if my little brother is born, she won't hurt me." ”

"How come, my aunt will always love Heng'er the most." She stopped Shu Heng's chubby body into her arms and looked at Mrs. Yuan: "Finally, I have it, and now I don't hide it from my younger siblings, you and Mu Yun have been married for not eight years but seven years, and I have been worrying about it in my heart." I didn't dare to talk about it before, but it was Mu Yun who told me not to let you feel pressure. On the day I got the good news, I drank a bottle of pear blossom white by myself. ”

Mrs. Yuan's heart was both surprised and moved. I also thought that every time I entered the palace, Concubine Yuan always smiled gently, but never asked about the heir. Grandpa always looked light-hearted, but she didn't expect to be so considerate, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and only said after a while: "I am really fortunate to be the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family in my third life." ”

Shu Heng grimaced on the side: "I am also fortunate to be the daughter of the Yuan family for three lifetimes." ”

Oops, she shouldn't have said she understood. As a result, the embarrassed concubine and Mrs. Yuan scratched her together, rubbing it, and she rolled into the phoenix bed with a smile.
