Qin Meiren suddenly smiled, stretched out her finger and gently touched the petals on the lotus petal bowl, as if talking to herself, and as if she was talking to Dong Qingning: "Sister Qing only said that this is exquisite, but I heard that the most exquisite lotus petal porcelain is in Yong'an Hall." ”

The words of Qin Meiren, Dong and Mu were not noticed by everyone, but as soon as Qin Meiren's words came out, they all hit the hearts of the people present.

Dong Qingning's face changed slightly, but then calmed down; Liao Jingzhi always has a faint look; Lin Zitong and Mu Xiaoxia didn't seem to hear it; He Cairen's face quickly showed a color of disgrief, but he just turned his head to look at the queen, and the queen still had a beautiful smile on her face, so she forced her anger in her chest.

The queen stretched out her hand to add lotus tea to the emperor's tea bowl, and smiled at Qin Meiren: "It was originally dedicated to the Queen Mother in Shang Gongjing's palace, and she didn't like incense, so she gave it to Mrs. Yong'an." ”

The queen glanced at the emperor as she spoke, and smiled at Qin Meiren: "You are the most fragrant, and the lotus is the most seasonal flower in the Yaoyang Pavilion." There is a lotus incense burner cast in purple copper just entered in Jingyang Palace, the most wonderful thing is that the petals are also engraved with scriptures, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, it is the most wonderful. ”

The emperor smiled and said: "This is the incense burner that was only sent to Jingyang Hall yesterday, how do you know the Tao?" ”

The queen looked at He Cairen, who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't care how I know the Tao of Lu, just say that this incense burner, will you give it to Qin Meiren?" ”

The emperor smiled: "What 'willing' is not 'willing', I am so stingy." ”

"I'll thank the emperor for the beauty of the qin first." Queen Yingying said with a smile: "'Lotus' and 'even' are homophonic, implying that they are a good couple. The lotus flower is also a flower with many children and many blessings, and it is the best color head. ”

Qin Meiren bowed her head slightly, with a faint flush on her face, as if she was a little shy, and smiled gently: "Thank you, Emperor, Empress." ”

Suddenly, Ruyue shouted loudly, and Mu Xiaoxia said, "The fish are scattered under the lotus." ”

Lin Zitong looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Look at the boat, there is no one left. ”

Everyone looked out the window, as if they were so anxious that they were about to cry. The queen looked at the emperor, as if she wanted to ask something, but when she saw the emperor sitting upright with a smile, she didn't speak.

Sure enough, a purple-shirted woman dressed as a fisherwoman walked in. The woman in front of her is more radiant than snow, her body is slender, and her soft white hands are not decorated at all, but they are naturally delicate and gentle.

The narrow sleeves of the purple plain five-flowered placket are only embroidered with the pattern of water hibiscus on the neckline and cuffs, and below is a lilac-purple plain silk long skirt, which is like a blue water lily blooming on the water.

When the woman came to the door, she stretched out her hand to untie the hat from her head, and held it in her hand, and everyone felt that their eyes suddenly lit up.

This woman has fine eyebrows and eyes, her mouth and nose are small and upright, coupled with such a complexion and such a dress, she is like a lotus picker in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Qin Meiren's hand that had been slowly released clenched involuntarily, and after a glance, she withdrew her gaze, picked up the tea bowl and "hummed" gently, but she couldn't help but look back at the emperor. The emperor's expression was unpredictable, as if he was a little surprised, and seemed to be a little indifferent, but there was no joy, and a light smile slowly floated to the corner of the Qin beauty's mouth.

The woman who came in turned out to be Zihao.

Zihao held a basket in his hand, bowed respectfully, and said: "Yong'an Tang slave Zihao greets the emperor, the imperial concubine, and the queen on behalf of Mrs. Yong'an. After speaking, he saluted the concubines sitting around.

The queen smiled knowingly: "It turns out that you are the one sitting on the boat." ”

It turned out that this lotus flower was built on the water, and the boat went to the stairs of the lotus flower, and Zihao walked up. Zihao walked up to Ruyue, took out an oiled paper bag from under the hat, opened it gently, offered it with both hands, and smiled at the nurse: "Please sprinkle some in the water." ”

Mu Xiaoxia couldn't wait to sprinkle some, and sure enough, in a moment, many koi fish floated up to compete for food. Wu Niangzi hurriedly pointed it out to Ruyue, Ruyue laughed again and again, Zihao handed the oil paper bag to Qian Niangzi, and Qian Niangzi hurriedly pinched some and threw it into the water.

Zihao walked up to the queen and bent her knees and said, "This is a little gadget from Princess Ruyue from my wife." ”

Qin Meiren didn't wait for Zihao to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Yong'an is really clever and unique. For Princess Bo, I found such a good bait. Qin Meiren said the word bait very seriously, but her eyes only looked at Zihao.

Qin Meiren said and glanced at the emperor lightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not just the princess, who here is not overwhelmed by the gentle appearance of Miss Zihao?" ”

Zihao immediately understood the meaning of Qin Meiren's words, which actually pointed to Shu E's sending Zihao here, and had ulterior motives for the emperor. Zihao's fair face turned slightly red, and he was very embarrassed when he stood there.

Mu Xiaoxia clapped his hands with the princess and smiled: "Throw less, throw less!" It's a pity that such a good bait will run out immediately. ”

Zihao took another step forward, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and presented it to the queen with both hands. I saw that the hairpin flower Xiaokai copied half of it evenly.

The queen said: "It's like a fragrant medicine prescription." Well......" When he saw the most cowardly musk, he nodded and said, "Your wife has a heart." ”

The emperor glanced at the note and smiled faintly, but there was a slight disappointment in his eyes.

Zihao didn't notice it, but just saluted and smiled: "This is the recipe for making bait, and Madame also tried to do it first, and the recipe is really good, so she dares to present it." After saying that, he was blessed and retired.

Zihao held a hat in one hand and a skirt in the other, and jumped lightly onto the stern. Leaned over to the middle of the warehouse and shouted, "Madame......" but then exclaimed in a low voice.

It turned out that the person sitting in the warehouse was Yang Jieyu and Yang Chunxi.

Yang Jieyu smiled and said, "Mrs. Yongan has already gone ashore, and I asked the girl to give me a ride." After speaking, he looked at Zihao carefully, and said with a low smile: "Wealth is just around the corner." ”

Zihao was taken aback, hurriedly looked left and right, and then smiled again: "Jieyu Niangzi came out at this time, is her body no longer in the way?" ”

Yang Jieyu smiled faintly, shook her head slowly, and said softly: "Only go to the depths of the lotus flower." ”

Purple didn't ask any more questions, passed through the barn, walked to the bow of the boat, put on the hat, and gently shook the oar.

Ruyue saw the canopy boat start again, and the noisy room when she boarded it was known to everyone. Everyone said that Zihao wanted to row back, but they didn't care.

Suddenly, a clear roar came out of the boat, and everyone sitting in the hall felt as if a breeze was blowing, but Shu'e, who was walking along the riverbank, couldn't help but feel a shock all over her body.
