Chapter 5: Sisters
Princess Duanmin Liang Huawan is the eldest daughter of Emperor Yuanhe and the twin sister of the third prince. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not long after Emperor Yuan and Emperor ascended the throne, a dragon and phoenix fetus were born in the palace, and both inside and outside the palace thought it was a great auspiciousness. Helplessly, Duanmin's biological mother, Liu's palace maid, was born, even if she gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, she was only promoted to Zhaorong.
At that time, the concubine was still favored, relying on her mother's merits and the second prince, trying to fight against the queen. The queen is in the middle palace and is the queen mother's family, so she naturally refuses to give in. Emperor Yuanhe was overwhelmed, so he canonized Liu as a concubine. But because of his humble background, the Liu family blindly kept his head in obscurity, only wanted to save a pair of children, and never competed with others.
Changyi Bo took this opportunity to design Emperor Yuanhe to meet his daughter in Xiyuan, and then entered the palace to be the emperor's concubine, and he has been favored for thirteen years.
A few years later, Concubine Liu was pregnant again, with an abnormally large abdomen, and it was rumored that she would give birth to twins again. It's a pity that Concubine Shu was in danger when she gave birth, and finally both mother and son died.
After Concubine Shu died, Emperor Yuanhe wanted to send the Duanmin sisters and brothers to Chengqian Palace to be taken care of by Concubine Xian, but he didn't want the Queen Mother to insist on raising them personally. When the third prince was twelve years old, he moved to the Duanjing Hall next to the Chongwen Hall in the southeast corner of the palace, and lived next to the second prince.
The second daughter of the emperor and Princess Jing Liang Yaoyuan were born by Li Meiren, and the mother and daughter were unknown in the palace like Jiang Xia and her mother in their previous life.
However, Hejing is still a little different from Jiangxia. She is very beautiful, the corners of her mouth are bent like the warm wind in April, and even women have to be delighted when she looks back and smiles. When Xuanhui was sick, He Jing went to visit and made Xuanhui stunned. But beauty is valuable only if you have the ability to protect it, and if you can't protect it, you may not be able to do it even if you just want to be alone.
Seeing Xuanhui and the county lord Wenjin coming in, Duanmin and Hejing also got up and saluted each other.
Xuanhui looked at the table and saw a piece of plain silk on the table, covered with plum petals, so he said, "The two sisters are picking petals?" But do you want to put it in the incense ball? ”
Duan Min said with a smile: "The Queen Mother said that the plum blossoms were fragrant, but unfortunately this season is about to pass." We thought that it would be good to pick the petals to dry them, make incense for the Queen Mother or make tea to drink. However, the sun is not good enough these days, and we are ready to finish picking and putting it on the kang to bake. ”
Xuanhui called the little palace maid to carry water to clean her hands, and picked the petals with her sisters, and the county lord Wenjin said: "After these petals are picked, the fingers are red, especially these red plums, the color is the heaviest." Choose, for I will rest. As he spoke, he sat on the kang and asked the palace maid to bring in snacks.
He Jing said with a smile while picking: "The county lord doesn't know, although his hands will be dyed with color, he will also be stained with the fragrance of plum blossoms!" ”
The county lord of Wen Jin pursed his lips, and said in his heart that I don't need to please the Queen Mother like you! At the moment, he drank tea and ate snacks, and ignored Hejing.
Duan Min turned his head to He Jing and said: "I only like begonias when you are you, on the handkerchief, on the shoes, on the edge of the appendix, everywhere!" ”
Begonia? Xuanhui's heart moved slightly, in her previous life, she had seen a few paintings of Xue Yuanhan in the palace painting academy, all of which were begonias, red, pale pink, blooming, and slightly defeated, all of which were begonias, two of which were signed by the "Old Begonia Pavilion Master", and the seal was written as "a lifelong confidant drunk begonia".
What is the connection between two people who love begonias?
Xuanhui shook his head and smiled, feeling that if this was true, then his cousin was really a traitor and had a deep friendship.
Duan Min saw Xuanhui's small movements, and couldn't help asking, "What does the third sister think, so engrossed and snickering?" ”
The county lord of Wenjin straightened up, stared at Xuanhui, and asked, "How many days did Xue Yuanhan go to visit when you were sick?" “
Xuanhui looked at the county lord of Wenjin, but Yu Guang saw that the movements in Hejing's hand stopped, and he understood a little in his heart. Then he pretended to be confused and asked, "I haven't seen my cousin these days, but Sister Yuan has seen him in the palace?" My cousins are in their teens, so they can't enter the inner palace, right? “
The county lord of Wen Jin said proudly: "Without a summons, he naturally can't enter the inner palace." Look, I've seen it a few times. The day before yesterday, my father went to Ci'en Temple and met Xue Yuanhan, and they also talked with Master Zhixuan for a few games. “
Xuanhui thinks it's funny, people are willing to associate with your father, but they don't necessarily want to talk to you more. He rolled his eyes and smiled, "The day before yesterday?" I heard from the palace people that the eldest princess feasted guests in the mansion that day, and many literary and elegant people in Beijing went, why didn't the horse stay in the mansion to accompany the eldest princess to entertain guests, but went to the suburbs of Beijing to find the great monk to play chess? “
The county lord of Wenjin was suddenly angry, his parents' marriage was not harmonious, and there were not a few people in the capital who knew about it. My father was in high school and was caught by his mother and became a colt. My grandfather and grandmother disrespected my mother, but my father blamed my mother. After the death of his grandparents, his father never stepped into the square and lived in the study in the outer courtyard all the year round. When she was a child, her father often took her to read and write, and after she quarreled with her grandparents and father a few times for her mother, her father gradually alienated her, and she wrote and painted all day long.
The county lord of Wenjin has always been a loser and can't lose, Xuanhui's words poked at the sadness of her and her mother, and she was even more annoyed, and she stood up and shouted: "My father can go wherever he likes, and he wants you to have more mouths!" They all said that your temperament has changed, but I didn't expect it to be just as hateful! You, who are pretending to be deceiving people, knew that you should have made people work harder and let you choke a few more mouthfuls of water! ”
He Jing's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he subconsciously went to see Duan Min, and saw that although she was angry, he was not surprised, and he knew that it was really Wenjin County Lord who pushed Xuanhui into the water that day.
Who knew that Xuanhui didn't quarrel with the county lord of Wenjin, he still picked the petals calmly, and said idly: "The queen mother and the eldest princess didn't inform the county lord, saying that they couldn't mention my falling into the water again?" Especially why did I fall overboard? At that time, the little palace maids and little eunuchs who did rough work in my palace were all informed! Xuanhui bit the word "why" very hard.
The county lord of Wenjin was anxious to argue, but he didn't know what to say to relieve his anger, so he picked up the teacup and fell to the ground, and said angrily: "You three princesses bully me!" I'm going to tell my grandmother to ground you all! ”
Duan Min was helpless, he and He Jing were implicated in this way, this Wenjin County Lord was really unreasonable. can't just make trouble in front of the queen mother, otherwise it will be indispensable to scold yourself as the eldest sister.
At that moment, Duan Min got up, put his hand on Xuanhui's shoulder, and hinted that she should stop talking, while calling the palace maid to clean up the broken porcelain.
"Add another cup of tea to the county lord!" Duan Min instructed the palace maid, and then pulled the county lord of Wenjin to sit on the side of the kang together, and said: "The queen mother did send someone to say that Xuanhui was dangerously ill and needed to be pressed to get by, so the palace people were not allowed to talk nonsense, not for anything else." Sister, don't be careful! ”
The county lord of Wenjin drank the freshly brewed tea, glanced at Xuanhui, and his heart was weak, so he stopped talking.
Xuanhui can be regarded as touching the temper of the county lord of Wenjin, this is a firecracker, stupid and dry. I no longer took the county lord of Wen Jin seriously in my heart, and smiled at her: "It turns out that the Queen Mother didn't send someone to tell Sister Yuan!" I was mistaken! Sister Yuan is not strange. After finishing speaking, he sniffed his hand, stretched out to He Jing, and said, "What the second sister said is really right!" Smell it, my hands are fragrant now. ”
He Jing looked at Xuanhui who was smiling and smiling, and then looked at the county lord Wenjin who was angry, and didn't know what to do, so he smiled at Xuanhui, and still lowered his head to pick out the broken petals.
Duan Min wanted to divert the topic, so he asked the county lord Wen Jin: "You just came out without staying in the warm pavilion for a while, but what did the queen mother command?" ”
The county lord of Wen Jin said: "The queen mother said that the concubine wanted to choose a concubine for the second prince, and the queen mother blew us out." Then he blinked his eyes and said to Duan Min: "However, I already know what the Queen Mother wants to ask!" “
