This is undoubtedly not a portrait of a farmhouse, but it is extremely warm, as if she has lived in it, and she yearns for that kind of warmth, and she can't help but reach out and touch the scenery presented in the portrait above, so fascinated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Forsythia saw that she liked this painting so much, and said lightly: "Niangniang, this is painted by the emperor not long ago, and the emperor seems to like this painting very much, and the emperor has been looking at it for a long time." ”

Tian Ling'er seemed to understand something, this painting must have something to do with her, otherwise how could she be silent for a long time, she smiled lightly, then put away the portrait, looked at Forsythia, and said: "You and I are master and servant, I still think about you." ”

Forsythia heard her say this, so she bowed her head slightly and said, "Niangniang, Forsythia should be on the side." ”

"Forsythia, there are no outsiders here now, don't see me outside, I'm coming to you alone today." Tian Ling'er explained her intention, and sure enough, she saw Forsythia with a puzzled look, Tian Ling'er said lightly: "Forsythia, the matter between you and General Chu, this palace naturally knows." Forsythia looked surprised and tried to explain it, but she didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head even more.

Tian Ling'er smiled faintly and continued: "Don't be curious why this palace knows this, but Forsythia, do you have any plans now?" General Chu is about to marry Xu Tianjiao, the princess of Nancheng, and you are still a palace maid, and now you have no Miss Su's care, in the backyard, you are soft-spoken, how can you live well, even if the emperor gives you a concession to continue to take care of the internal affairs of this Jingyi Pavilion, but Forsythia, people still have to think about themselves after all, in the backyard, as long as you see him once, I am afraid that you will be uneasy for a day. ”

Forsythia's voice trembled a little, and said, "Niangniang......"

Tian Ling'er took her hand and continued: "Since it is so painful in the backyard, why don't you choose a better way out?" ”

Forsythia was puzzled and said, "A way out?" What does the mother mean by this? ”

"Have you heard of Li Muchen?"

Forsythia recalled this person, and then thought that Li Muchen was a literary champion in the court, and he was also the first literary champion in the imperial examination in the first year of Emperor Jing, and he was in charge of civil affairs in the court, she had seen him twice, once in the Gu Tassel canonization hall and saw him from afar once, in fact, it was not because she wanted to see him, but at that time, Li Muchen was the only one in the crowd but looked at her, and that gaze seemed to penetrate a lot of clouds before coming to her side, so she felt different, looking back at him in the crowd, the second time, But I saw him once in the banquet held by the emperor, and that was also, he sat in the position where the ministers of the court should sit, and smiled at her, there were only two sides, but this person, she knew.

Tian Ling'er saw that she was thoughtful, presumably remembering who he was, and then she continued: "This Lord Li Muchen is not married yet. ”

Forsythia immediately understood why Tian Ling'er came over today, but she had no intention at all, but she didn't know how to refuse.

Tian Ling'er smiled faintly and said, "Since General Chu has no intention of you, why bother? What's more, a woman's life is so short, this palace just heard the poems you recited, every sentence is affectionate, but others listen to it unintentionally, so troublesome, it is better to find a better way out. ”

Forsythia thought for a long time, but then she spoke: "Everything, can you let Forsythia think about it." ”

"This is natural, if you figure it out, come over and tell this palace that it is effective at any time, not to mention, when the time comes, I am afraid that your identity will not be what it used to be, and it will fly on the branches." After Tian Ling'er finished speaking, he turned around and left, but Xiqiao, who was waiting at the door, had already set up an umbrella and followed Tian Ling'er closely behind him with a lantern all the way.

Tian Ling'er looked back at the woman in the room again, she just smiled bitterly, she didn't come over for no reason today, but not long ago, the emperor was thinking about giving Li Muchen something to reward, but this Li Muchen was very wooden, and he didn't care about the direction of the wind in the court, he was really an upright person, so the emperor looked down on him, and naturally he also cared about the gift to him, so he didn't make any gestures for a long time, all of which were seen by Tian Ling'er, who was as careful as dust, I know even more that when a man looks at the woman he loves, she knows that even if this Li Muchen gives him a mountain of gold and silver, he will not be happy, but if it is replaced by a woman he always looks at secretly, then everything will be different.

On this day, Xu Tianjiao, who was already preparing for a big wedding, was ordered to enter the palace, Xu Qiushui was her aunt no matter what, so she married into Mu Guo and became the wife of Mu Guo's protector general, such grace and grace can be seen to be not ordinary.

Xu Tianjiao followed towards Xu Qiushui's palace by a kind of palace maid, and she was wearing a very gorgeous dress that was particularly dazzling, with a light orange-red color long gauze skirt and weft, a jacket of rose red brocade jacket, and a snow-white rabbit fluff sewn on the corners, an orange-red section belt wrapped around the waist, with a piece of fine Hetian Meiyu inlaid in the middle of the belt, wearing a piece of high-quality glazed jade pendant on the left side of the segment belt, hanging on the waist, a brocade-like long hair with a red jade coral hairpin pulled into a falling moon hairpin, and a row of pendant glass curtains inserted under the hairpan, which was more charming and graceful, the elegant jade face is painted with light plum blossom makeup, and the original clear and beautiful face has faded because it has become a woman, and the immature youth shows a trace of charm, seducing the soul; If it was like a fairy, the demeanor was outstanding and captivating the country, but now it is like a fairy who has fallen into the dust by mistake and has lost his soul like a fairy who has been contaminated with a trace of dust, but the most memorable thing is the pair of brilliant starlight eyes.

Along the way, many palace maids looked sideways at her, and many people began to talk about it.

"You know what? This is General Chu's wife who has not passed through the door, and she is still the princess of Nancheng, I didn't expect it to be so beautiful. ”

"Who said it wasn't, and this princess is still the niece of the Queen Mother, and with this status, of course she has to marry the most outstanding man."

"But this princess and General Chu are really a match made in heaven, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and it is particularly eye-catching to look at from afar."

These words spread quickly in the palace, of course, they also reached Forsythia's ears, and today Biqing in the Queen Mother's palace was on sick leave, so she came to the Queen Mother's bedroom to take a day of work, but it was this day that made her see them from afar.

Xu Tianjiao looked at Chu Yan with a smile all the way, but pointed to the bonsai on the side and said with a smile: "General, look, this bonsai is so beautiful, I also had such a beautiful bonsai when I was in Nancheng before, and I personally trimmed that bonsai." ”

Chu Yan looked careless, and said casually: "Really? Since you like it so much, I'll have a few more pots for you to enjoy in the future. ”

"This is what you said, in the future, I will keep the General's Mansion in order, so that you can be comfortable on an errand in the palace, and you will have extra face when you go home." Xu Tianjiao said with his arm, but grabbed his arm.

Chu Yan was not on duty today, so he was also summoned by the Queen Mother, and came over together today, so the two of them talked and laughed along the way, Chu Yan naturally didn't want the Queen Mother to suspect, so he had to make such an intimate action, but when he looked up, he saw Forsythia from a distance, she followed the honor guard behind the Queen Mother from the inner hall at the moment, such an untouchable meeting made him want to push Xu Tianjiao's hand away, but now he can't, he can see the smile in Forsythia's eyes, he doesn't understand, but it hurts his heart.

Forsythia looked at him so happy, and the smile on her face was so sweet, what else did she not worry about, what else could she not think about? Only once she saw her heart like a knife, if there was a second time, a third time, she didn't dare to imagine that she could be so strong, it turned out that she was the only one who was trapped in it and was unwilling to extricate herself, what a painful realization, she didn't understand until today.

The Queen Mother smiled and beckoned, looked at Xu Tianjiao, and said with a smile: "Tianjiao, come here, aunt take a look." ”

Xu Tianjiao smiled and ran all the way to the Queen Mother's side, she squatted beside the Queen Mother, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Tianjiao misses you so much, Tianjiao remembers that Tianjiao was still very young at that time, and I have seen my aunt a few times, and Tianjiao was strange at that time, how could the fairy in the sky go down to Tianjiao's aunt." ”

Xu Qiushui was very happy to be coaxed by her honey-like mouth, touched her head, and said: "I will get married in a few days, my aunt is really reluctant to let you marry so early, and the truth will keep you for a few more years." ”

"Auntie, Tianjiao can't bear to be aunt, in this case, Tianjiao will come to my aunt's bedroom to talk to my aunt more often in the future, okay." Xu Tianjiao said with a smile, the angle at which she raised her head happened to be a hairpin, but suddenly the words fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, but Xu Tianjiao felt unhappy, and then turned his head to look at the hairpin on the ground.

Xu Qiushui also saw it, then waved his hand and said, "Quick, pick up the princess's hairpin." ”

The closest palace maid to the Queen Mother's side was Forsythia, and she walked over neatly, bent over to pick up the hairpin, and then knelt on one knee with her hands over her head, and gave Xu Tianjiao very respectfully, but Xu Tianjiao did not take the hairpin immediately, but explained: "Auntie, you know that this hairpin is precious, it is Chu Yan's family heirloom, and this hairpin was given to him by Chu Yan's mother, saying that he would give it to the woman he likes in the future, and I will be his new wife in a few days, and he was reluctant to give me this hairpin at first." ”

Xu Qiushui was curious, looked at Chu Yan, and said, "General Chu, can there be such a thing." ”

Chu Yan knelt on the ground and said: "This hairpin is indeed the heirloom of the Chu family, but Chu Yan doesn't want to give it to the princess, it's just that it is such a valuable heirloom, Chu Yan wants to wear it for the princess on the day of marriage." ”

When Xu Tianjiao heard this, she immediately got up and ran all the way to Chu Yan at the bottom of the steps, she smiled and said, "Really? You really planned to give it to me that day, didn't you want to give it to me? ”

Chu Yan was still very sincere and said: "Of course, the wedding between you and me is a gift from the emperor, such a big event, how dare Chu Yan let Her Royal Highness the princess be wronged, so I want to ......"

"I believe in you, and I want to believe in you." Xu Tianjiao quickly snatched his words, and then she turned around and walked towards the steps, and then snatched the hairpin in Forsythia's hand, and she was very happy to wear it in her bun.

Forsythia suddenly felt like her hands were empty, and her heart seemed to be empty, as if her beloved baby had been snatched away.

Forsythia looked at the hairpin in Xu Tianjiao's bun, it was a blood-red jade hairpin, the hairpin was wound with gold wire into a complex rhododendron pattern, and the willow su hanging under the gold wire was also strung with rice laughing pearls into a string of willow su, although this hairpin is very simple, but it is worn in Xu Tianjiao's hair bun, which is particularly good-looking.

The smile on Xu Tianjiao's face was from the bottom of her heart, because she really liked Chu Yan, from the night of the first banquet, she seemed to be attracted to him, she originally planned to marry Emperor Jing, but Emperor Jing suddenly married her, obviously it was the first time to meet, but she seemed to have known Chu Yan for a lifetime, and they should be husband and wife.

Although Xu Tianjiao has been promised to Chu Yan, due to etiquette and the rules of the royal family, Xu Tianjiao cannot see him in advance, but Xu Tianjiao has already moved into the General's Mansion, all this is very unreasonable, but Xu Tianjiao is the niece of the Queen Mother, even if it is unreasonable, no one dares to say no.

Xu Qiushui ordered people to carry two vermilion lacquered wooden boxes, and there were a total of eight palace people carrying the boxes to carry the boxes, which showed that the treasures in the boxes were very precious.

"Open it." Xu Qiushui opened his mouth and said, and then someone opened the box, but it was full of a lot of jade agate, which turned out to be two boxes of jewelry, such a grace can not be enjoyed by ordinary people, but this Xu Tianjiao is the first person in Mu Country to receive such a reward.

Xu Tianjiao glanced at the box, her eyes only stayed in the box for a short time, and then she leaned down and bowed, "Tianjiao, thank you, aunt." ”

Originally, Xu Qiushui was going to give her these rewards today, and she also wanted to see what her relationship with Chu Yan was, but today it seems that their relationship is indeed good, so she is relieved, in fact, Xu Qiushui still loves Xu Tianjiao very much, after all, she has the same blood in her body, her niece, how can she not love it, no matter what her brother has done, but the grievances of the elders should not be placed on the child's body.

At this time, I heard the eunuch outside screaming: "The emperor and concubine have arrived." ”

The Queen Mother also smiled and said, "I don't know what day it is today, it's so lively." ”

Then I saw the emperor and Tian Ling'er come in together, but Mu Changqing took the lead in saluting the queen mother and said: "Erchen has seen the queen mother, may the queen mother be in good health." ”

The Queen Mother smiled more kindly, nodded, and said, "The emperor has a heart." ”

Immediately, I saw all the people in the room kneeling on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Up!"

After everyone had already gotten up, Xu Qiushui looked at Tian Ling'er on the side, but said with a smile: "Ling'er, you are dressed very beautifully today!" ”

Everyone looked at Tian Ling'er, but saw that she was wearing a light pink slim flag suit, highlighting her slender and well-proportioned figure; The pink was very pale and close to white, but it was very charming, like the most natural and seductive flush on a girl's cheeks; The sleeves, placket, and corners of the robe are inlaid with wide edges with plain gold, which sets off the noble atmosphere; The delicate composition on the clothes is embroidered with blooming red plums, which are intricately layered and bloom warmly, which makes people feel hot in their hearts; On the foot of a pair of flower pot bottoms of the same color, the satin surface is embroidered with coral beads with gold thread red plums, thick soles are made of hollow small drawers, filled with plum blossom powder, take a step, leave a blooming red plum blossom mark on the ground; The hair is only coiled in a simple bun, the back half is still draped smoothly behind the waist, the right side from the top of the head to the ear is pressed with pearls and red gems to wear the red plum gold silk hollow bead flower, meandering and blooming, and a few more open to the forehead, or the corner of the eye, or the ear, the black hair is exposed from the gap, and the "plum blossom" is red, and the left side is the plum blossom glazed hairpin, exquisitely clear, the natural red is just carved into the plum petals, and there are three crystal beads and red jade beads intervaled beads below, and the bottom of the head is converging together, There is an east pearl hanging, which is the size of a dragon's eye, and what is even more rare is that the color of the east pearl is flushed with a pink halo; The outermost is covered with a pomegranate red brocade cloak, a pair of slender jade hands are generously exposed, and the left hand is strung with polished round red jade beads, and the middle fingers are crossed through the back of the hand to the wrist to decorate, lining the skin than snow; The collar is a fiery red fox skin, lining the face as delicate as a spring flower; There is still no powder on the face, but the red lips are dyed with rouge, which looks red and glamorous, just like the red plum on the head and body; The most attractive thing is that there is also a blooming red plum in the center of the eyebrows! These dignitaries have seen a lot of women, and they have seen a lot of plum blossom makeup, but this is the first time they have seen this. It turns out that the red plum in the center of the eyebrows is actually pasted with real plum petals, which is elegant and leisurely, and the atmosphere is graceful, far more delicate than those who use rouge flowers. And Zongheng is like a proud snow red plum, which instantly overshadowed the faces of everyone present, this Tian Ling'er is so beautiful, it is indeed heartfelt.

Tian Ling'er smiled embarrassedly: "Queen Mother, look at what you said, Ling'er is going to be embarrassed." ”

"What's so embarrassing, this plum blossom makeup is really good-looking."

After the Queen Mother and Tian Ling'er exchanged pleasantries for a while, everyone also began to sit down.

Tian Ling'er took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, aren't the concubines very happy to see you because of something a few days ago, I don't know if it has been solved now?" ”

When Xu Qiushui heard this, he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what is the matter?" ”

Mu Changqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little worried because of some rewards from the court." ”

Tian Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if what the emperor said is Wen Zhuangyuan Li Muchen Li Daren." ”

Mu Changqing nodded and said, "It's him." ”

Xu Qiushui thought for a while and said: "It's not a reward, what the emperor rewarded him with is the glory of his ancestral tomb, why should the emperor be like this?" ”

Tian Ling'er was the first to answer, and said: "Queen Mother, you don't know, the emperor is naturally different to this Lord Li, but this Lord Li is twenty-two years old this year, and he has not married yet, if the emperor really wants to reward Lord Li with any grace, it is better to give marriage, so the emperor's grace is vast, Lord Li will inevitably thank the Lord Longen." ”

Forsythia was shocked in her heart, and then she couldn't suppress her trembling, her face was also very ugly, thinking, she agreed to Tian Ling'er to agree to the marriage, but she didn't expect that it was today, her heart was even colder, and her hands were also very nervously stirred together.

Xu Qiushui thought for a while, and then said: "Exactly, Your Majesty, you might as well give him a marriage, it is better to be the woman that Lord Li likes, the door is right, and it is good to fulfill a pair of lovers and eventually become a family." ”

Tian Ling'er smiled even sweeter, and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, you don't know, on the day the concubine was canonized, I saw that Lord Li was very attentive to the girl Forsythia, but after looking at it several times, I am afraid that the concubine will never forget it, it is like seeing a celestial person, but." Her voice paused, looked in the direction of Forsythia, smiled, and then said: "But this Forsythia girl is indeed beautiful, no wonder Lord Li will never forget it?" ”

Xu Qiushui also looked like he didn't know, and also asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Tian Ling'er smiled and said: "Of course, this is of course, and at the banquet to welcome Princess Tianjiao, then Lord Li also looked at Forsythia again, if he didn't think about it in his heart, how could he keep paying attention to Forsythia." ”

At this time, Xu Qiushui looked at Forsythia on the side, and then nodded and said, "Sure enough, this girl is so beautiful, since this is the case, why can't the emperor be perfect." ”

Chu Yan listened, but he was shocked in his heart, and then said: "This marriage event still needs to be agreed by both parties, if you act rashly, I am afraid it will be self-defeating." ”

Tian Ling'er naturally understood the meaning of his words, so he said: "This General Chu is naturally a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and this Lord Li sees the friendship of the forsythia girl in the palace, but now I have to ask the forsythia girl what she thinks, if the forsythia girl agrees, then the pair of lovers will really become dependents." ”

Everyone saw Forsythia come over first, and Forsythia immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Slaves and maids obey the emperor in everything." ”

She understood what she said, and she was willing.

Chu Yan felt a chill in his heart, he originally thought that if he exonerated her, she would refuse, but he didn't expect her to agree, and he actually agreed. He lowered his head, and the halo of the room cast a shadow on his face, and the delicate features on his face that would make a woman jealous, the flying eyebrows, and the firm nose, felt as if they were made by God. Even so, the beauty that belongs to him does not have a trace of femininity, and the deep dark eyes are even stained with a kind of indifference and sparseness that people dare not approach・・・・・・

Mu Changqing thought for a while, and then said, "I remember, she is not married yet." In this way, Master Li has reached the age of marriage, and the two of them are just right! Give them marriage today. ”

Forsythia was slightly stunned, and then looked at Chu Yan, and Chu Yan also looked up at himself at this time, their eyes were in the air, and they were also burning and burning, and the eyes of the two people briefly met, and they were deeply shaken.

Forsythia walked to Mu Changqing's side, and said lightly in a subdued voice: "Slave, thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Chu Yan's face still trembled uncontrollably, the muscles on his face were very difficult to control without trembling, but his heart was like a thousand years of ice, from now on, she would never belong to herself, but thinking about it like this, he wanted to laugh, wasn't all this caused by himself? Didn't he let her leave her? But why, why does my heart still hurt so much?

Everyone in the room began to look at each other, this sudden joy made the atmosphere in the room different, Mu Changqing smiled very kindly, he didn't expect to solve the things that bothered him so easily, but Chu Yan didn't know that from that time on, the beauty of forsythia was difficult to hide, and it was actually taken by Lord Li, but Xu Qiushui looked at Forsythia unconsciously, I don't know why, she always felt that this woman seemed to be a threat to herself, she was obviously a palace maid, But why does she have such beauty and bearing, Xu Qiushui also thought lightly, since Chu Yan likes forsythia, then breaking them up can fulfill Xu Tianjiao's marriage, so she has to do this, everyone in the house has their own thoughts.

The news of the emperor's decree to give marriage was also quickly transmitted to Li Muchen's ears, in order to thank Emperor Jing for such love, he was also summoned into the palace, and then thanked the lord Longen, and the atmosphere was so lively for a while, but there were also a few people who fell into silence.
