On this day, the autumn is crisp, because the sun is shining, and the air is a little warmer.

The queen was interested for a while, and ordered someone to set up a table in the Yafeng Pavilion of Shanglin Garden, prepared tea and food, and invited everyone in the harem to enjoy the flowers.

Since it was the queen's invitation, everyone naturally did not dare to refuse at will, they all dressed up properly, and came with the personal palace maid.

The concubine was dressed in a rose purple woven gold flying flower Shu brocade shirt, with a pink brocade silk satin skirt, the whole person was shining, bright and shining, the black hair was rolled up on the spring bun, and a red gold peacock bead hairpin on the bun was particularly eye-catching, so the hairpin hanging under the hairpin was a rare black pearl, which was really extravagant. It is said that the pearl fishers of the South China Sea inadvertently obtained, only this one, by the local officials into the Shang, and later by the emperor to the concubine, it can be seen that its grand favor.

She was a little lazy, leaned on the Nanmu chair, and smiled at the queen: "How can the queen sister be interested in inviting us to come out to enjoy the flowers today." ”

The queen imperceptibly looked away from the red gold peacock hairpin with black pearls hanging from it, and gently supported the red gold Jingfu long phoenix hairpin on her head, it seemed that this phoenix pattern made her feel a lot more comfortable, and said with a light smile: "The chrysanthemums bloom so well at this time, let's not come out to see, wouldn't we be disappointed." ”

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Our sister Zhongde Concubine loves this flower, this palace is a layman, I can't appreciate such noble flowers, this palace still likes the flowers that bloom in the spring, such as the peony ......"

She glanced at the faces of the queen and everyone, and said in a change of voice: "The peony is graceful and luxurious, it should be the favorite flower of the queen's sister, and the palace thinks that the peony is very good, gorgeous and atmospheric, and it is not lost to any side flowers." ”

Concubine Shu is obviously borrowing flowers as a metaphor, implying that she herself does not lose anything to the queen. As soon as such provocative words came out, the queen's face really changed, and the concubines were silent, for fear that the flames of war would burn on them.

Concubine De is the most generous on weekdays, and seeing that the atmosphere is a little unkind, she hurriedly said: "Who in our palace doesn't have a favorite flowers and plants, it's just an object, it's not worth taking seriously." Today, the sisters finally got together, so let's enjoy the flowers. ”

After such a crack, the queen's face softened, and she only gently rubbed the armor of the carved gold rhombus inlaid with jade grains in her hand, and did not speak.

I listened to Feng Xiuyi's suggestion: "It's boring for us to sit here, why don't we also learn how to fight flowers with the little daughter in the boudoir?" ”

This Feng Xiuyi's maiden name is Feng Huizhi, who was elected to the palace by the emperor in the year when he first ascended the throne, and is the eldest daughter of the Feng family of the Ministry of Industry. Jiang Qingshu married her sister-in-law Feng Huiru, the two are siblings, and their relationship is naturally very deep.

It's just that Feng Huizhi is not beautiful, not as delicate and lovely as her sister, she can only be regarded as amiable, and among the many Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemums and beauties with different characteristics, she seems to be even more mediocre.

Everyone here is from a family of eunuchs, and they often play some gatherings and games between girls, one of which is to fight flowers, and the rules of the game are to choose a flower that they think is good among the flowers, or compose a poem on this flower, or find an allusion, and then judge the winner.

In Jiang Suoyue's eyes, this kind of vassal and elegant game can be called boring, her poetry talent is really limited, although she has also been nurtured in ethnology, but where can she compare to some talented women here who have been seriously taught by her husband since she was a child, and she rarely participated in this kind of activity when she was in Jiangfu, and at this time, when she heard Feng Xiuyi come up with such an idea, she really felt a little headache.

Others are not like Jiang Suoyue, most of them love this game in the boudoir, and now in the Shanglin Garden, there are many flowers and plants, which is very suitable for the occasion, everyone agrees with this proposal, and the atmosphere is eager.

Who expected that Shen Nuosheng was free today, and when he heard that the concubines were enjoying the flowers in the Yafeng Pavilion, he also came to take a look.

At this time, everyone in the harem was discussing eagerly one by one, and suddenly heard Gao Jingzhong raise his voice and say: "The Holy Lord has arrived-"

When everyone heard this, they all stood up in surprise and joy to greet them.

After sitting down, I heard that today's concubines were invited by the queen to appreciate chrysanthemums, Shen Nuosheng said: "I remember that Concubine De likes Qiu chrysanthemums the most, but is this so? ”

Being remembered by the emperor for his preferences, what a long face, a gratifying thing, many people looked at Concubine De with envy, and secretly concubine morality in their hearts was Concubine De, and the weight in the emperor's heart was really different.

Concubine De met the envious eyes of everyone, there was no trace of smugness on her face, and she replied without surprise: "Yes." It's hard for the emperor to remember, and the concubines are overjoyed. ”

"The chrysanthemum is noble, and the concubine should match this flower." Shen Nuosheng said.

Concubine De didn't want to be so blue-eyed by the emperor today, and she was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she still had the kind and gentle smile on weekdays.

There was a hint of disdain at the corner of Concubine Shu's mouth, as if she had no intention of this, and cast her eyes outside the pavilion.

The queen smiled and suggested: "We are just discussing the douhua, since the emperor is here, why don't you let the emperor come to be the judge today, and the concubine can let the virtuous choose a good flower to win the emperor's reward." ”

The queen's words were clever, and Shen Nuosheng was very interested when she heard this, and said: "As soon as you concubines show your talents, I naturally want to be the referee, just wait for you to win my reward." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they scattered among the flowers to look for flowers, and many of them did not go far, only around the pavilion, obviously not wanting to leave the emperor's sight, and the eyes did not look at the flowers and plants, but silently sent autumn waves to the emperor.

Jiang Suoyue didn't want to huddle with them and scratch her head and make a pose, so she stayed away, skipping all the flowers that were taboo in the color of bright yellow or close to bright yellow, and only chose among the flowers that were festive and not out of place.

She had a headache while choosing flowers, and when she was in Jiangfu, she only went to school seriously for a year! If she doesn't steal the works of her predecessors, she is afraid that she will be laughing and generous, she cherishes her image in the emperor's mind, because this image is related to whether she can win a place in the harem in the future. Therefore, she has to search her stomach at the moment and try to recall one or two good works.

While walking and reminiscing, turning the rockery, Jiang Suoyue saw a person standing by the lotus pond in front of her, who was actually Yao Zhaoyi. At this time, there were no flowers in the lotus pond, and there were palace people to take care of them every day, and even the residual lotus was cleaned.

Even so, Na Yao Zhaoyi was still distracted with her back to the lake, and she didn't know what she was looking at so seriously, and the breeze blew her lotus-blue clothes, making her whole person a little sad.

Jiang Suoyue has no friendship with her, and she doesn't plan to have any friendship with this favorite concubine of the first palace. Just as she was about to avoid it, someone suddenly pushed her hard from behind, and she fell unsteadily towards Yao Zhaoyi.

Seeing that she was about to collide, she swayed to the side, and the whole person fell into the lake uncontrollably, and before entering the water, she was still thinking about her body and the lotus, this is the second time that she has been pushed into the lotus pool.

She vaguely heard someone screaming, it seemed to be Yao Zhaoyi, and then she couldn't hear it clearly.

Almost all women in this era don't know how to water, so if you change other women in the harem, I'm afraid that this hardship will be fixed, and if it's not good, you will die, but she is different, she learned to swim in her previous life.

But she could only pretend that she couldn't swim, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others, and struggled on the surface of the water for a while, then slowly let herself sink by holding her breath.

After a while, she heard the sound of someone jumping into the water, thinking that someone had come to save herself, so she let go of her breath and drank a few sips of lake water.

She was conscious when she was brought ashore, but she pretended to be unconscious. I only felt that I was being held in my arms by a person, and I heard someone crying again, and called urgently: "Miss, Miss." ”

It was Pearl's voice, she must have been in a hurry, so she used the name she used at home in a hurry, perhaps thinking of the time when she almost died when she was six years old, so she was in a mess.

Shen Nuosheng saw that Jiang Suoyue was soaking wet, her black hair was scattered, sticking to her pale cheeks wetly, and her originally smart eyes were closed at the moment, which made people feel distressed and pity, and hurriedly ordered: "Someone!" Someone! Hurry up and carry Concubine Jiang back to Ting Zhuxuan, what about the Imperial Doctor? Xuan Taiyi! ”
