128 Yuqin Palace, the former residence of the Empress
"Who?" Although Mu Qianlan was very disdainful in his heart, he didn't show it, and responded very calmly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The villain is the craftsman of the flower house." A thin, slightly flattering voice sounded outside.
"Come in!" Mu Qianlan looked at the camellia moved out of the space with the light of the night pearl, and said casually.
These flowers really look different from before, the flower bones have grown a lot, it seems that this method can really be done, this is just an hour of time, but these flowers are no different from three or four days long. Tomorrow you can stay in the space for more time, it is best to rush to open soon, so that you can stay in the flower room for a long night, and by the time of Chinese New Year's Eve, it should be able to open all.
Mu Qianlan looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, finally being able to put her mind at ease.
The people outside the door originally thought that Mu Qianlan didn't ask for lamps and candles, and it should be dark in the flower room, and nothing could be seen. But when I was outside just now, I vaguely felt that there was some light in the flower room, but because the curtain was very thick, it was not very clear.
I didn't want to come in until I saw that the woman in front of me was playing with a night pearl that emitted a soft light in her hand. The peculiar pleated light of the night pearl illuminates the flower room much brighter than any lamp or candle, and there is still a need for oil lamps.
This person couldn't help but be surprised, although he was only a person in the flower room, after all, he was also an old man who had been in the palace for almost twenty years, and he was not uninformed. Although he had never seen the pearl this night, he had heard of it. It was as if there was a pair of night pearls in the foreign tribute that year, and the empress did not seem to reward anyone. I don't want to, but now I see this jewel in the hands of this Mu girl, it seems that everyone says that this Mu girl is favored, and it is true, not a rumor.
I heard that this girl is from a similar background to herself, she is from the countryside, and it seems that her family is still farming. It's really a different fate, how can she have such a good opportunity. I was able to win the favor of the Empress. And I can only endure the years in the flower room?
"What's the matter with you?" Mu Qianlan got up slowly, staring at the bold person in front of him with a pair of cold eyes, and said without mercy: "You don't know that Your Majesty has a will, unless I call someone." Otherwise no one can come in and bother? ”
This person originally wanted to see what kind of skills this Mu girl had before he boldly came in. He originally thought that Mu Qianlan was just a woman from a humble background. It shouldn't be too embarrassing. However, he never thought that Mu Qianlan was not a good talker. It's such a merciless rebuke of oneself.
Forget it, the strange thing is that she seems to have a natural momentum of not being angry and arrogant. Especially when talking with a straight face like this, it makes people feel intimidated and feel very stressed.
Is this really a girl from the countryside, not a pampered lady or even a royal woman in the capital?
This man only felt that his legs were weak, and he couldn't stand anymore, so he knelt down and said: "It's just that it's getting late, and the villain is afraid that the girl can't see clearly in the flower room, so he has the courage to ask the girl, whether she needs a lamp and candle, the villain really doesn't mean to resist the will, and ask the girl to forgive me!" ”
The man's voice was a little trembling, and he couldn't say anything. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that his whole body is trembling, and he seems to be very afraid.
Mu Qianlan secretly thought, it seems that although the empress is sick and weak, she is not a master who connives, no wonder the order in this palace is good, originally thought that it was because of the lack of people in the palace, but it turned out to be caused by the empress's momentum.
It's good that way, it's convenient for you to do things yourself. Mu Qianlan has no intention of offending people for no reason, but he is also very clear in his heart, if he doesn't let the person in front of him know that he is powerful today, he won't want to promote flowers tomorrow. These craftsmen, aren't they like human spirits? Whether it's curiosity or being entrusted by someone, I'm afraid that it will become you and him. It's enough to deal with them alone, what else can you do?
"Although you are a first-time offender, after all, you are disobeying the order, but I am only living in the palace, so it is not good to punish you. Go to the governor and punish yourself, and tell you all your sins clearly. Mu Qianlan made up her mind and didn't say more, waving her hand.
After saying this, Mu Qianlan had already walked to the door of the flower room, she was not interested in listening to this person continue to plead, it was better to go back to the room earlier if she had this time. Instead, he walked out of the flower room and left slowly.
This person watched Mu Qianlan slowly walk out of the flower room and leave, opening his mouth, but he didn't even say a word of pleading. I went to get the punishment myself, and now I really stole the chicken and didn't lose a handful of rice. is good, why should you be curious about what this person is capable of? Well, now it's okay if you don't see anything, and you have to be punished. The punishment in the palace is strictly forbidden, and this time, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.
On the second day, sure enough, there was news that the subordinates who trespassed on the flower house were heavily punished for fifty boards, and the news seemed to spread in the palace like long legs. When Mu Qianlan went to the flower room again, no one dared to take a step closer to the flower room at will. After all, no matter how strong the curiosity is, no matter how much you want to know what strange methods there are, you can't hurt your life for it.
What's more, when she heard that someone was resisting the decree, Her Majesty the Empress was already angry, and immediately said that if there were still people who resisted the decree and disrespected it, the punishment would be doubled. Doubling that is a hundred big boards, and if these hundred big boards are beaten, even if you have a good body, you are afraid that you will become a waste person from now on.
Mu Qianlan had a rare leisure time, and waited until the camellia was about to bloom before moving these flowers out of the space and putting them back in place.
Early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, news came from the flower room, saying that more than half of the camellia flowers in the flower room had bloomed, including a pot of red eighteen bachelors and a pot of white eighteen bachelors, and this year's flowers were the best in these years.
Her Majesty was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly ordered the camellia to be placed in her bedroom.
The craftsman in the flower room brought the camellia, and sure enough, it was exactly what they said. This year's camellia is the best bloom in years, not only the flowers are bright, but the flowers are much thicker and larger than in previous years, which makes people look very happy.
The empress is more and more sure that Mu Qianlan is definitely a master of planting, not only knows how to grow food, but also knows how to grow flowers, otherwise how could these flowers, which are obviously impossible to bloom, bloom in such a fast time?
How could the empress know that Mu Qianlan was not capable of it. Rather, there is an invincible golden finger. The only thing she did in the past two days was to move the flowers into the space. Other than that, she didn't do anything at all. The reason why these flowers grow so well is because the spirit of space is worried about Xiaoxiao.
The body of laughter and laughter is a rose, which naturally has more closeness and communication skills for flowers and trees, plus the nourishment of space aura and spiritual water. It's hard for these flowers to bloom badly.
"Preach my will. Send a basin of eighteen bachelors to Lord Yang's mansion. Send another pot of old clothes and greens over. In addition, a pot of camellia was also sent to Hailin Wangfu and Huanan Wangfu. The empress was overjoyed, and thought that these words should be appreciated with everyone: "Also, pick a few pots of good camellias." Send it to Miss Mu's palace, and other seasonal flowers are also the best to send to Miss Mu, to dress up in Miss Mu's house more festively, this child has not even returned home for my illness, we can't treat her lightly. What's more, if these flowers didn't have Miss Mu, they really wouldn't have bloomed so quickly. ”
The empress can't wait to keep Mu Qianlan by her side for the rest of her life, such a child is really a rare good ability. It's just that she can see that this child doesn't seem to have the intention of staying in the palace for a long time. Even if she is an empress, she can't take revenge and impose her will on her. If you want to keep her, you must not let her resist, and it seems that you still have to start from other aspects.
The empress watched these camellias bloom well, and her heart was happy, and she felt that her body was much better. He simply walked out of the Fengqi Hall and walked out.
Before she knew it, the empress walked to the Yuqin Palace behind the Fengqi Palace.
"I remember, Miss Mu lives in Yuqin Palace?" The Empress hesitated and asked.
"Yes, Miss Mu lives in Yuqin Palace, and Her Majesty really likes Miss Mu the most." The palace maid hurriedly smiled and said: "Who in the palace doesn't know that this Yuqin Palace is a good place, that is, Miss Mu can win His Majesty's favor." ”
Yuqin Palace is just behind the Fengqi Palace, which is the closest palace to the Fengqi Palace, and it is also the place where His Majesty lived when he was a princess in the past. It's just that since His Majesty ascended the throne, there are few people in the palace, and His Majesty is the only serious master, so this extremely elegant Yuqin Palace has been empty all these years.
Even when Liu Yunrui, the lord of Luobei County, entered the palace, he was not able to live here temporarily, but lived in the Xianya Hall farther away. The people in the palace thought that His Majesty didn't want other people to enter the place where he lived in his early years, and he didn't want Mu Qianlan, a folk girl, to let her live in after she arrived in the palace, but this move broke through the eyes of many people.
"Why is it so quiet? Not even a sound in it? The empress stood at the gate of the palace and asked with some confusion.
Although Qianlan is a quiet child, it is not so quiet, or are there too few people in this palace to arrange to serve?
"Your Majesty, Miss Mu seems to have gone out of the palace, saying that she will not be able to come back until the afternoon, but I am afraid that there is no one in Yuqin Palace." The people around the empress are now well-trained, and Her Majesty likes Miss Mu, so they have to pay attention to Miss Mu's every move.
The empress then remembered that Mu Qianlan did say yesterday that she was going out on the street today, she thought that since she arrived in the capital, she had never been outside, so she agreed, just because the camellia bloomed in advance, she was too happy, why did she forget it?
"Why did I forget, but I didn't leave the palace!" The Empress was a little lonely, but after a moment, a smile came back to her face.
"It's rare to come here, although the master is not here, let's go in and take a look, speaking of which, I haven't been in Yuqin Palace for many years, and I don't know what this Yuqin Palace looks like now." Her Majesty still has some feelings about the dormitory back then.
The people next to him wanted to stop it, but the empress had already taken a step, so she could only follow the empress's wishes.
Anyway, although this is Miss Mu's residence, but after all, it is in the palace, and there is nothing that Her Majesty can't enter, even if Miss Mu comes, can you still blame the empress?
The Empress walked slowly along the hexagonal stone-paved corridor, the same place where she had lived, and she could walk into it even with her eyes closed. Yuqin Palace because of her preference for different relationships, and other palace rooms are different, there is no magnificent palace gate, only a bamboo fence flower barrier made of the moon cave door, from the moon cave door in, both sides are zigzag verandah, several pieces of mountain stone courtyard dotted, around the flowers and trees are sparse, there are large pear trees, plus two Xifu begonias, but unfortunately it is winter now, if it is spring and summer, there is a different scenery from other places. In the depths of the courtyard, there are three bright and two dark houses, and under the porch, there is a place to place camellias. It's just that now she doesn't live here, and the camellia under the porch is gone.
The empress sighed as she walked, and before she knew it, she walked indoors. Sure enough, it was still arranged according to her preferences back then.
"Why didn't Miss Mu move in and not rearrange it?" The Empress asked, somewhat surprised.
She had already said that she would let the people below rearrange it according to Mu Qianlan's preferences, but now it seems that it is no different from her own layout back then.
"Your Majesty, Miss Mu said that she likes this arrangement very much, so she hasn't changed it."
When the empress heard this, she nodded, and took a private look, the east room was a study, and there were a few books and pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in it.
Now there seemed to be more books, the empress walked over and looked through them gently, they were all medical books, and there were some papers next to them, all of which were written, and I didn't know what they meant, so the empress stopped reading.
Walking to the west room, this is the living room, the empress looked at these familiar things, as if she had returned to the old days when she was still a princess, she unconsciously walked to the kang near the window and sat down, the expression on her face was gentle and light, with a faint smile.
Her Majesty did not bring any extra people with her today, but only brought two palace maids who served closely, both of whom knew the loneliness and helplessness of the Empress very well, and couldn't bear to disturb her when they saw her like this.
The two looked at each other, but said nothing, just looked at the empress.
The empress's face has not had such a relaxed expression for a long time, especially during the Chinese New Year, she is always sullen, and today is a rare one.
"In the old days, when I was a princess, I would sit here, or arrange flowers, or embroidery, or read idle books. Now I want such a time, but I can't get it anymore. The Empress closed her eyes as she spoke, as if she was immersed in it. (To be continued.) )
