Early the next morning, when Yunyang was having breakfast, Feng Chunxing gently lifted the curtain and walked in with a worried face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yunyang is sitting at the kang table and tasting a bowl of bird's nest silk spinal cord soup, drinking green and holding a pair of sunflower pattern silver chopsticks for Niangniang's cloth vegetables. Sui Wei stood in front of the Huanghuali five-screen dragon and phoenix pattern dresser, sorting out the leftover hairpins and used rouge gouache that Yunyang had picked out when combing his hair just now.

The three of them were busy with their own work, and Feng Chunxing, who was standing at the door, turned a deaf ear, and no one paid attention to her.

Feng Chunxing bit her lip, knelt down and said, "Palace maid Feng Chunxing lost her temper last night, talking nonsense, disturbing the mother, please punish the mother." ”

Yun Yang gently put down the green jade handle red gold spoon in his hand, glanced at Feng Chunxing, and said lightly: "This palace is okay, but it is the paving xia that scared you a lot, and replied that I will not live in the same room with you again." ”

The expression on Feng Chunxing's face became more and more ashamed, she lowered her head and said, "The old slave was so happy yesterday that she secretly drank two cups. I didn't know that I was too old to drink, so I did such a shameless thing, and I asked my mother to punish him heavily. ”

"In that case, I will punish you for sweeping the yard for three months with the flat pole and the pot. Remember, if you don't check your words and deeds next time, you will definitely be kicked out of Qiao Palace. Yunyang looked at her and said.

Feng Chunxing's body was shocked, her head hung lower, and she said in a dumb voice: "Thank you for your grace." ”

At this moment, the stone came in from outside, probably because the morning of the moon was too cold, his ears were red from the cold, and his face seemed to fall with a thin layer of frost.

"It's been an errand for all these years, and I'm still so careless, I broke in without changing my clothes, and I was careful that the cold air was blowing on my mother." A sentence of stones fell with the number of stones.

Shi stuck out his tongue, moved away from Yunyang a little, and saluted and said, "Niangniang, the Inner Government Bureau has summoned the eunuchs in charge of each palace early in the morning. It is said that the day after tomorrow will choose an oiran, so that all the palaces will prepare. ”

"The rules of this year's competition are, the palace maids each show their ability to present a flower arrangement, each hall first compares a round, selects the best one, and then compares in the new palace, and the final winner is the "Oiran", there are two Oiran, the first place is the Changyang Oiran, and the second place is the Bright Moon Oiran. ”

"These two Oirans will be given flower names by Concubine Min, and they will be carried by other palace people to the Danfeng Gate of the Outer Imperial City, and they will be looked up to and cheered by the people of Luoyang."

Feng Chunxing, who was kneeling on the ground, was still depressed, but when she suddenly heard the news, her eyes were shocked.

Yunyang glanced at her, and secretly laughed in his heart, but his face was still unusually calm: "What kind of Oiran to choose in the wax moon, didn't it only be done in mid-spring in previous years?" ”

Shi replied respectfully: "I heard that because the day after tomorrow is Concubine Min's Thousand Autumn Festival, Concubine Min asked the queen for a decree to move the selection of the Oiran to the day after tomorrow, in order to make the new palace lively." ”

As soon as they heard that the palace was better than flower arrangement, they immediately laughed and laughed. However, after Yunyang heard these words, he was unexpectedly silent.

It turned out that after the incident with Nanpu, Yunyang was quite disgusted by Concubine Min's cruelty. As soon as I heard that the Oiran final was going to be held in Jinxin Palace, I made up my mind early in the morning that I would not go to congratulate Concubine Min on her birthday no matter what.

However, for the palace people, she will not be restricted. Yunyang turned his head and asked Suiyun: "Hanyang Palace uses flowers for flower arrangement?" How do the palace people prepare flowers? ”

Before he could respond, the stone preemptively said: "This is the reason why the Inner Government Bureau asked me to go there, there are flowers all year round in the warm cave of the beautiful courtyard, but you need to count a list from each palace and hand it in, and the florists will fold the required flowers according to the list and send them to the palace after tomorrow." ”

"I see. You are solely responsible for the affairs of the Oiran Contest, and the afternoon after tomorrow, please invite the palace people to bring their own works of flowers, and everyone will appreciate them together. Yunyang said to the stone.

For the palace maids, they spend all their time working for all the ladies, and they are busy before and after, and they have no chance to show their brilliance at all.

Most of the palace maids are like a shadow following closely behind Niangniang all their lives, without their own trajectory, without their own character, and there is no separate grave after death, but they are buried with other palace maids who died in the same month.

There is no name on the tombstone, no birthday, and even a surname will not appear, only the words "The Tomb of the Maid of a Certain Palace" will be written, standing alone in the barren mountains and mountains. No one will come to pay respects, no one will come to sweep the tomb, and the thin tombstones can only be secretly decayed in the wind and sand and turn into dust.

However, if you can win the first place in the Oiran competition, the name of the palace maid will be recorded in the Hanyang Palace Chronicle of that year. Even though in the days to come, her body was crushed into mud by the wind and frost of the years, but she will eventually leave a small mark in history.

Hanyang Palace's Oiran selection is only held once a year, and the palace maids look calm on the surface, but in fact, they have already racked their brains secretly and are eager to try, looking forward to their own blockbuster with a flower arrangement.

Yunyang certainly understood their feelings. Three days later, in the evening of the west side hall of Qiao Palace, Yunyang ordered someone to put up an embroidered pier, set up an incense case, and started the first round of selection.

Sui Wan first came to the incense case, she held a bamboo carving Wen Ji Gui Han pen holder, which was placed with tile gray incense mud, and there was a budding red Yan in the incense mud.

After putting the flower arrangement, she chanted a poem to point out the theme of the flower arrangement in accordance with the rules of the competition: "By asking who in the Han Palace is like?" Poor Feiyan leans on new makeup. ”

The second one on the stage was an orange pomegranate, holding a carved lacquered golden peach-shaped cup with a handful of blooming ginger in it. After she put the peach-shaped cup on the table, she groaned: "More than thirteen years of grace, cardamom tips in early February." ”

The posture of drinking green and offering flowers is different, she carefully holds a red sandalwood carved Fushou round box, and walks very slowly.

Everyone was puzzled, and after she put the round box on the incense table, they all gathered around and looked down. It turned out that there was a pool of clear water in the round box, and there were three or four pale yellow flowers floating on the water. Drinking green and chanting softly: "It rains in the mountains for a night, and the trees are full of springs." ”

Yunyang looked at the green flower arrangement, nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's a different heart." ”

Next is to pave Xia, hairpin apricot, purple sunflower, the three palace maids came up to offer flowers.

Pu Xia took a bamboo root carved Buddha's hand, and there was a string of pothos hanging on the Buddha's hand like a rosary, named "Mingjing stops water, Haoyue Zen heart".

The flower arrangement of the hairpin apricot is in a mahogany carved lotus flower tray filled with white Du Ruo, named "one inch acacia".

Next is Zikui, I saw her bring a tile blue glass pen wash, and there is a lotus flower lying in it, named "Concubine Mi out of the water".

Yun Yang looked at it and praised it sincerely: "The people of the palace are really amazing, and they are wonderful." Each has its own memorable features, and it's not easy to choose the first one. ”
