After breakfast that day, Shu'e went to the Queen Mother again. When I went to ask for peace, I saw that the imperial concubine was also there. The imperial concubine wore a ginger collared mid-shirt with a turquoise jade button at the neckline, a lilac embroidered emerald dragon claw chrysanthemum pattern trimmed, pink and honey plain weave raccoon brocade skirt, and a stone blue pleated silk skirt underneath.

Shu E stepped forward to see the ceremony, and when she saw the imperial concubine's outfit, she secretly admired it in her heart. The three main colors used in the imperial concubine's clothes are not used in the main color but in the biased color, but they are so good-looking, without the slightest fancy and complicated, but I feel that it is staggered, the main and secondary are clear, and the imperial concubine is beautiful and peaceful.

The imperial concubine usually comes to the Queen Mother here to be the companion of the Queen Mother, but she is not at the same time as Shu E, or Shu E is already in Anqing Hall when she comes, so staggered, she has not seen Shu E for a month and a half, and when she saw it, she was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Come and let me see!" While holding Shu'e's hand, he asked, "This scar on your face has improved a lot, how did you treat it?" ”

Shu E saluted the Queen Mother, and then saluted the Imperial Concubine: "If you go back to the Imperial Concubine, this is the Queen Mother who sent someone to govern the slaves." The imperial concubine raised her hand, signaling that Shu E did not need to be polite, and then turned her head to look at the queen mother, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"How many Buddhist scriptures I ordered you to copy, how did you copy them?" The Queen Mother asked.

"I have already copied a small half, and there are four of the ten scriptures. All that's left is ten days. Shu E replied.

"Well, the most important thing in copying scriptures is to see the clarity of the heart, and don't be greedy for time. The imperial concubine reads more scriptures every day, and her mind is pure, you can learn from her. The Queen Mother said.

"Niangniang laughed at me again, my sister is just idle, chanting scriptures, but it is good for the body and mind. Niangniang knew that I was the most unsuccessful. The imperial concubine smiled gently, for some reason, Shu E actually felt that there was a little girl's coquettish meaning in the imperial concubine's tone. It's a pity that she grew up since she was a child, and she didn't go through the life of her little daughter, who was regarded as the pearl of her palm, and she didn't know the feeling of being pampered and proud, so she just had some hazy feelings.

The three of them chatted a few words, and Shu E was about to leave Lu and go to Anqing Hall to copy the scriptures. The Queen Mother suddenly stopped Shu E: "You go to the Taichang Temple Music Department [Note 1] to take a look, a few days ago I ordered them to play the "Manna Score" according to the score made by the imperial concubine, but did it happen?" ”

Before Shu E could turn around, she lowered her hand and stopped to the side. I saw that the imperial concubine hurriedly got up and saluted: "Why does Niangniang bother so much? It's all me who reproduced the sounds of the ancients on a whim. Besides, it's just some pleasant gadgets, which bothers the mother. ”

"'Lezheng worships the four arts, establishes the four teachings, and follows the "poems", "books", "rites" and "music" of the first king to create scholars', advocating the music system, both ancient and modern. Moreover, I advocate Buddhism, and the eighth and fifteenth days of April are all Buddhist festivals, and my sister's move can also add a lot of peace to the palace and outside the palace. The Queen Mother said.

The imperial concubine saluted and thanked the queen mother, and then asked, "Is this child also proficient in music?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled silently, and Shu E hurriedly said: "I learned some when I was young, but then I didn't practice for a long time, so I became deserted." Now I can't even talk about a little bit of fur. "Everyone is beautiful, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework and female red, even if they are not proficient in everything, they are also dabbling in everything, and they are good at choosing items. Shu E wants to pretend to be Shuyan, and she doesn't dare to say that she knows nothing about these kung fu. Fortunately, she learned these things from Aunt Xiwen when she was young, and it wasn't all a lie.

"You've always been so modest." The imperial concubine said with a smile, and asked the queen mother again: "Why don't you let Zhu Yan go with her to ask?" Zhu Yan also used to be able to play the piano. ”

The Queen Mother smiled, "Liuquan and Zhu Yan have been with me for a long time, and they are mediocre all day long, busy with mundane and trivial things, and these elegant things have long been abandoned." Besides, I'm going to the Imperial Pharmacy to pick up the medicine again. He raised the jacquard sujin pa in his hand again, pointed at Shu E and said, "I think she has a lot of aura, and I want to come and taste it well." And poetry, music, calligraphy and painting, mostly rely on understanding. Appreciating and appreciating, it is expected that it will not be difficult for her. ”

"Hasn't the Queen Mother's asthma been much better recently?" The imperial concubine said with concern.

[Note 1] Taichang Temple Music Department: In the Song Dynasty, Taichang Temple was an institution in charge of both ritual and music, among which the specialized independent music institutions were mainly the Great Music Department and the Propaganda Department.
