Murong Chenfeng and I entered the house one after the other, except for the palace maid Mei Xiang leading a few palace maids to work, it was not ordinary, and Concubine Jin Niangniang was sitting quietly in the courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Bingxi, please give my mother!"

"Chenfeng greets Niangniang!"

Murong Chenfeng and I saluted Concubine Jin separately, and Concubine Jin said gently: "It's rare for you to come to see me, don't stand still, sit down." His eyes pointed to the stone bench next to him and motioned for us to sit.

So, we sat down. Xu came to see Concubine Jin, she had a rare smile on her face, and Mei Xiang made tea for us and brought it over.

"Princess, the Seventh Prince, please use tea!" Mei Xiang said in a low voice, brought the tea and retreated. I took a sip of tea, it is a good Longjing, the water for making tea is sweet and sweet, with a good Longjing, there is a faint fragrance, it is very delicious. Su Wen Concubine Jin's tea making skills are very good, even the emperor often praises her for making tea, full of praise for her, Mei Xiang is the palace maid beside her, following her for many years, more or less through her guidance to learn some tea-making skills, no wonder the tea is so delicious. I couldn't help but take a few more sips. Putting down the teacup, I accidentally found that Concubine Jin had a sachet hanging from her waist, which I had brought to her by Murong Chenfeng before, hoping to help her cough.

Concubine Jin saw me staring at the sachet on her waist, held it in her hand, and said: "A few days ago, Lao Qi brought this and said that you asked him to bring it, and the palace took it with me for a few days, although it could not cure my cough for many years, it was also comfortable to smell the fragrance of sandalwood and plum blossoms." Yesterday, the emperor came to my bedroom and saw the sachet on my body, and after asking curiously, he praised you for having a heart. After speaking, he couldn't put down the sachet in his hand, and his face showed joy.

In the palace, especially the royal family of these princes and concubines, they are high, with fine clothes and food, rare treasures, what they want, only they want it or not, and there is nothing they can't get, which I deeply understand. Now it is just an ordinary sachet, and it can also arouse the love and appreciation of Concubine Jin, it can be seen that in the deep palace, in addition to the intrigue on weekdays, a trace of warmth is also rare for them. If you stay in this palace for a lifetime, looking forward to a little love from the emperor every day, the rest is not only lonely but also this terrible heart. When I think about this, I shudder, I didn't understand it before, but now I start to understand it a little.

I said: "Niangniang has won the prize, this sandalwood is used by the grandmother of the Ice Tide Emperor, and I happened to come to the North Desert to bring a little with me, and that day I saw that Niangniang coughing unbearable, so I made a sachet and put it in it with the spices of plum blossoms, I hope it will help you." ”

Concubine Jin nodded at me. Then I glanced at Qianping, Qianping immediately understood what I meant, and took out the gift I carried, which was a light lake-colored palace dress made of good fabric, decorated with some pearls, and then a light red plum blossom with a stitch and a thread, the atmosphere was gorgeous, elegant but not gorgeous, simple but not cumbersome.

I said: "Niangniang, this is your birthday, Bingxi knows that you don't lack anything in the palace, and I don't know what to send, since I was a child in the palace, the imperial grandmother asked the master to teach me a few words and also learned some embroidery work by the way, I saw that the color of the fabric in the house was good, so I made such a palace dress, and I hope you can like it." As he spoke, he handed over the clothes to Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin took it, with a happy face, looked at it with a pleasant face, and said: "I like it, this dress is exquisitely made, it looks better than what is made in the palace, and there is also my favorite plum blossom, how can I not like it, it is not false at all to say that you have a heart for this child." ”

Murong Chenfeng, who hadn't spoken much on the side, was a little surprised, and said, "Hehe, I can't see that your dignified princess of Chu State will still do this embroidery work?" You know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't doubt it at all, first the previous horseback riding, and now this embroidery, what else will you have? What else we don't know? ”

I half-jokingly said, "If I tell you, I'm afraid you won't believe it." ”

Murong Chenfeng smiled helplessly and said, "You, the princess of the Chu Kingdom, are not forgiving when you talk about your kung fu. ”

When he said and laughed, I had an idea and asked, "Don't deliberately change the topic, what gift have you brought to my mother today?" "I'm really curious about what kind of gift Murong Chenfeng, who has always been free and uninhibited, will give.

"You girl." He smiled and shook his head. I pretended not to hear, smiled at Concubine Jin, and then watched him take out the gift. Murong Chenfeng pulled out a painting from his sleeve, and I stared at him intently and slowly opened the painting.

I exclaimed, it is a picture of ink plum, this picture is written with the ink of the plum tree, the structure is compact and exquisite, dense and redundant, the trunk is stained with light ink, dotted with thick ink moss, and the plum blossom is drawn with ink lines, staggered, handsome and elegant, revealing the vitality of early spring. I am amazed, Murong Chenfeng has such a good painter, I heard that Murong Chenxi is a good painter, and when I see it today, his brother Murong Chenfeng is not inferior, I don't know what Murong Chenxi's painting is?

In my amazement, Murong Chenfeng said: "Niangniang loves plum blossoms, Chen Feng didn't know what to give for a while, so he painted this plum blossom picture as a gift, my picture is naturally not as good as the gift of Bingxi, I hope Niangniang can like it." As he spoke, he handed the plum blossom picture to Concubine Jin.

"Okay, good, this is the best gift that this palace has received this year, and in the past, Chen'er would also think about giving gifts to this palace on his birthday in this palace・・・・・・・・・" Speaking of this, Concubine Jin stopped, talked about the pain in her heart, paused, and said quietly: "It's rare that you two have a heart, and this palace is very happy today." ”

Although Concubine Jin stopped Murong Chenxi and changed the topic, I noticed the sadness in her eyes. I thought, Murong Chenxi, when will you come, and if you don't come, what should you do?

At this time, Lu Shang, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, led a few little eunuchs to Jinyun Palace, and he invited Concubine Jin, I and Murong Chenfeng to come to Concubine Jin's mother, and said: "Niangniang, this is your birthday, and the slave wishes you every year to have today, and every year has today." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, I don't know if there is anything else to do here in this palace today besides congratulations?" Looking at the slave behind the chief eunuch holding a pair of bracelets, the color is round, white and wallless, it is rare in the world, and you can see that it is worth a lot at a glance, Concubine Jin asked.

Lu Shang replied: "Back to Niangniang's words, the emperor said that this is Niangniang's birthday, Niangniang wants to keep a low profile and is reluctant to do it, a few days ago, there is a pair of bracelets in the tribute from Nanyue, the emperor likes this pair of bracelets very much, thinking about Niangniang's birthday, he sent a slave to send it to Niangniang. ”

After Concubine Jin summoned Mei Xiang to accept the emperor's reward, she said to Lu Shang: "I am tired of my father-in-law going this way, my father-in-law has worked hard, go back and thank the emperor for the palace." "The slave has other things, so I won't bother the mother and the princess and the seventh prince."

After speaking, Lu Shang led a few minions back.
