Fangcao walked out of the palace gate, said goodbye to Zihao and Sumo, looked back, stood for a moment, and then hurriedly walked away with the little inner eunuch who brought her.
Out of the harem gate of Qingshou Palace, all the way to the north, through the long corridor of Liushang Palace, through the Yongxiang where the palace people lived, out of the Yingyang Gate, and came to the back garden.
It is the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the remnant of winter is not over, and the spring is cold. In addition to the plum fragrance in the back garden, there are still many green trees that have been green all year round, and they are lush. The red palace walls stand out among the greenery.
Fangcao bypassed the Yaoyang Pavilion and returned to the Autumn Pavilion. The palace gate and palace wall are golden glazed tiles, reflecting the cold sunlight, which is also a little dazzling. This autumn palace has the main hall, the east and west side halls - Du Feng Garden and Tao Ju Garden, and there is still a separate courtyard in the backyard, called Lanyue Pavilion. (Note 1)
Miss Liao lives in Tao Ju Yuan in the Autumn Pavilion. The main hall of the Autumn Pavilion is inhabited by the talented Shang family, and the other courtyard is inhabited by the lady Qin family. Shang Cairen only sent two palace maids when the girl first moved in today, telling the girl to rest.
I saw Miss Liao sitting alone at the desk in front of the window, supporting her with her hands, watching the maids clean up the house. Seeing Fangcao come back, he had a gentle smile on his face.
Fangcao knew that this girl was silent and had a very different personality from her wife, so she walked in and said, "Go back to the girl, my house...... The girl of the Cao family said that she was tired and had rested. ”
Miss Liao snorted, which was an answer, and after a while, she asked again, "Sister Shu's injury doesn't matter, right?" ”
"The scar looks fine, it's just ...... It looks like she's lost a lot of weight. ”
"I know it." Miss Liao sighed slightly, and Fangcao knew that she had nothing to say, so she walked away.
After a short time, there was a maid outside the door to report that it was Bao Ju, the palace maid who was originally in Tao Juyuan, saying that Qin Niangzi (Note 2) was here. Miss Liao had already heard the little eunuch say that Qin Niangzi was originally a royal servant from the fifth grade, but for some reason she fell out of favor and became the county monarch of the seventh grade. Because he has been living in the side hall of Funing Hall with Shang's family, Shang's family has been promoted to a five-grade talent, moved to the main hall of Qiuqian Pavilion, and also brought her with him.
Qin Niangzi was wearing a pale cyan plain brocade jacket and a turquoise skirt, which looked like only six or seven percent of the new color, a black and pressed silk, and only a jasper hairpin was tied at the back of her head, but it was green and moist, faintly bright.
Miss Liao and Mrs. Qin gave each other a gift, and the maids who followed also returned the gift, and Miss Liao only said, "Sister Qin is good." Qin Niangzi just replied: "Don't dare to be!" Hello sister. Fangcao invited the two to sit down and poured tea, but neither of them was silent. Fangcao secretly thought in her heart, the girl was used to being taciturn, why Qin Niangzi had been in the palace for a long time, and she was generally not good at socializing.
After a while, Qin Niangzi asked a few innocuous words, but she just asked where Miss Liao was from, how the house was cleaned up, and comforted not to feel homesick, so she took her leave. Miss Liao is also not very good at keeping guests, so she took the maid to the door of Tao Ran Yuan. Qin Niangzi leaned over and said, "Sister Liao, please stay." And he dispersed.
Bao Ju whispered behind Fang Cao: "This Qin County Jun, this spirit all day long, no wonder the official family doesn't like ......" Fang Cao hurriedly turned around and glanced at her, Bao Ju suddenly thought of her new master's such an ordinary character, so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth, and saw that there was no one around, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
Note 1: In the court of the Song Dynasty, only the Emperor Taishang, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager could live in the palace, and they could call themselves "the palace", and the palace of the emperor and the queen was called the "palace", because the queen was still the position of the middle palace, and she could call herself "the palace".
Note 2: Regardless of whether they knew each other in the Song Dynasty, they could be called "ladies" for women, and "little ladies" for young women. Concubines are usually called "a certain lady" according to their surname, and they can also be called titles.
