Chapter 1 Sisters and Sisters 3
When she got up this morning, Qingluan felt much more comfortable, and she wanted to go to Xining Palace to thank the previous virtuous concubine for her kindness in relieving the siege, but after Fang finished dressing up, Bai Yu knocked on the door and came in, and said, "Little master, Concubine Chen Niangniang has sent someone to invite you to Lingxian Palace to narrate." β
She glanced out the window, only to whisper. "Wait for me to change my clothes."
Su E took a section skirt with a white gold crescent moon and flowers, and the slight color corresponded to the meaning of deep spring, revealing a smart beauty for no reason. It is not advisable to be too ostentatious when going to see Concubine Chen, but this one is just right.
"Concubine Chen's movements are fast." Su E smoothed the lines on the hem for her, and straightened the double butterfly on the neckline.
"It doesn't matter." Qingluan said to the mirror, "It's inconvenient for you to travel now, just wait for me in the palace." β
"Rong Nu Maiden go and call Bai Yu."
"No need." The woman stretched out her hand to stop her, "Just let Shui Qiao accompany me, I can't always snub her." β
Shui Qiao's suspicions have risen, and she can see it. If you let it go on like this, you can't work together after all, and after all, it is harmless to let her accompany her to see Concubine Chen.
When I went out, I saw that Shui Qiao was already waiting. Although the weather was warm and cold, there were many more people than before. Along the path, there are palace maids passing by in pairs, and the pink palace clothes are quite vibrant. Qingluan walked along, but suddenly there was no word between him and Shui Qiao. I thought that I was in a hurry like them just half a year ago, and at that time, how could I have the elegance of today to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden.
sighed for a while, and suddenly heard the melodious sound of the piano from the Baixin Garden not far away. Since the last time Emperor Jin sang Guanglingsan, such a high piano skill has not been seen for a long time. There are thousands of musicians in the palace, but after all, they are clichΓ©s. On a whim, she said, "Go over there and have a look." β
The fragrance of peach blossoms in the garden is the extravagant atmosphere of blooming to the flowers, and the pink clouds are woven into the eyes. Occasionally, one or two petals fall on the shoulders with the wind, which is even more pleasant. The joyful sound of the piano continues to reach the ears. Although Qingluan is not proficient in the guqin, he also knows that he plays it very well. Fu passed through the willows again, and saw two young women standing vaguely in the sparse place of the peach tree.
A person was dressed in a smoky purple beaded brocade dress, dancing, and when he saw it, he only felt that the woman's figure was delicate and graceful, and he couldn't help but be intoxicated. A woman with slightly mature eyebrows and eyes, wearing a pleated long skirt embroidered with light purple acacia flowers on a white background, sitting under the peach tree, playing the piano elegantly, and emitting a smooth and ethereal sound. Seeing that this outfit is obviously not an ordinary palace person, Qingluan sighed secretly, she has been sick these days, but she doesn't know when two newcomers were added to the palace.
She stood still, and the song gradually sounded. The woman who played the piano looked up and saw Qingluan first, and hurriedly brought the people who danced together. The woman in brocade was pretty, with a pair of big almond eyes glancing at Qingluan curiously, and turned her head to the people around her and said unashamedly: "Sister, who are they." β
"The concubine is Luo Yuxin, the daughter of Luo Fucheng, the governor of Zhejiang, and this is her sister Luo Yuying." The Fuqin woman was obviously more cautious, although she had just entered the palace, the etiquette was not bad at all. "Looking at your service, I think you are a nobleman."
"This is a Hunan nobleman." Shui Qiao turned around and whispered, "Little master, the two of them are the 'Miaoyi Shuangshu' of the Riqian Palace." β
"Concubines and others have just entered the court, and where the etiquette is not careful, I still hope that the nobles will be Haihan." Luo Yuxin said and bowed dignifiedly. However, the woman who was called Luo Yuying next to her was obviously not as polite as her sister, and laughed: "Hunan noble? Is it a noble sister who has been very favored by the emperor recently? Yu Ying has always wanted to see her. β
"Yu Ying, Hugh is rude."
"Probably so." Qingluan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help the person in front of him, "My sister is innocent and straightforward, I like it very much." If you have time, you must come to Liuyue Pavilion to sit. β
Luo Yuxin's face was apprehensive, "I am so favored by the nobles, and the concubine thanked my sister for it." β
"Sister Guiren treats me so gently when she agrees to a little, no wonder the emperor loves me so much. But it's not like the queen's mother, who is always so stern, so scared that Yu Ying often doesn't dare to go out......"
"Yu Ying, you've said too much."
The woman hurriedly covered her mouth, but secretly squeezed a grimace at her sister. Qingluan heard them mention the queen, and couldn't help but say a few more words. "Isn't my sister living in Chaofeng Palace now?"
"Back to the nobles, the concubines and sisters were originally scheduled to be in Xining Palace. It's just that now the virtuous concubine is happy and quiet, so she temporarily lives in Chaofeng Palace. It is also an honor for the concubines to be able to witness the dignity of the queen from time to time. Luo Yuxin always adhered to the etiquette and did not dare to look up at Qingluan. She is like this, but the sister is just smiling and grinning, and she is not afraid.
"That's fine. Then it's decided, my sister must come to me another day. There is still something to do today, so I won't say much more. β
Luo Yuying saw that Qingluan was leaving, and hurriedly said: "That sister, don't forget Yuying." β
She smiled and responded. Although the two sisters were delayed for some time, the atmosphere was not as awkward as before. Shui Qiao helped Qingluan out of some distance, and then said: "What the little master just saw was the newly canonized Mi promised to Tongling, and the two of them are the daughters of the heroes who fought the flood this time, and they are famous even in the capital. β
"As soon as they entered the palace, they were given titles, which shows that the emperor really favors them."
Although the meaning of these words was unclear, Qingluan smiled peacefully. Shui Qiao couldn't figure out whether she was happy or angry for a while, so she found another topic and said: "The slave and maid agreed to be knowledgeable and reasonable, and she was very generous. Now it is not known whether it is friend or foe, and the little master must be careful. β
"That's your mistake." The woman remained silent, but a smile crossed her eyes, "Although she looks dignified and does not lose her identity, she still has the timidity of entering the palace for the first time." It's her innocent and straightforward sister, although she makes an ignorant attitude, but she is extremely flattering in her sentences. Knowing that I was not on good terms with the queen, I showed the intention of defecting, and I was very thoughtful. β
She looked at the dumbfounded Shui Qiao beside her, and chuckled: "When you look at people in this palace, you can't rely on your eyes, you have to be attentive." β
As soon as the words came out, even he laughed for a moment. When did you start to know how to speculate on people's hearts? The Qingluan, who used to be the most gullible to others, only survived in the harem for a year, and then disappeared without a trace.
Yes, watch with your heart.
However, the more attentive you are, the easier it is to be sad. I used to be unable to see through it, but now I only wish I couldn't see it.
"Slave and maid, thank you for the little bishop's teaching." Shui Qiao's voice next to him sounded a little choked, "It's just that the slave maid thought that the little master had a grudge against Shui Qiao, but I didn't expect you to be willing to tell the slave and maid these things." β
Qingluan was stunned, and a sour feeling surged in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Just sighed lightly: "You think too much." β
