Chapter 33: The Slave Pearl
"Chrysanthemum feast?"
Just after noon the next day, someone from Weiyang Palace came to inform Shen Yunqing.
Shen Yunqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and nodded towards the palace people with a light smile: "Okay, please rest assured, the queen mother, I will pass on time." ”
After the palace people of Weiyang Palace left, Shen Yunqing squinted.
"At the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet last night, the queen suffered such a big loss, but she still had the heart to organize a chrysanthemum banquet?"
"There must be a demon when things go wrong, but I don't know, this time, what the queen has in mind. ”
Ting Xi frowned: "Why do you think that the slave maid thinks that this queen suddenly came out like this, and it was for you, the princess?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's coming for me. ”
Ting Xi became more and more worried: "Then the princess will not directly say that he is sick and will not go?
"The queen suffered a loss last night, so naturally she will try her best to get it back from me. If I can call myself sick once, can I still be sick for the rest of my life?"
"I kind of want to see what she's trying to do. ”
For the next two days, there was calm in the palace.
It's probably because of what happened in the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet that the palace concubines saw Emperor Wei's attitude towards Shen Yunqing, and in the past two days, they came to visit Shen Yunqing in the Yunhua Palace, and there were several palace concubines who gossiped with Shen Yunqing.
"Among the concubines who came to visit the princess in the past two days, Concubine Ling and Meng Guiren are the queen's people, and Concubine Rong is the person of the virtuous concubine. Yun Zhaoyi and Hui Meiren were newly ...... who entered the palace three years ago"
Ting Xi held a booklet in his hand: "This is a list of gifts brought by several mothers to the third princess." ”
Shen Yunqing's gaze swept over the list, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Of these concubines who have come to visit in the past two days, the person who can talk the most is this Meng Guiren, although his position is not high, his mouth is very likable." ”
"And the one who gives gifts to my heart the most is the concubine. The rouge gouache clothes and jewelry sent are very good. ”
"It's no wonder that the queen deliberately sent the two of them, mixed with these concubines, to visit me. ”
"If I hadn't inserted someone into the palace, I wouldn't know anything, but I'm afraid that these two would be the ones who are most willing to get close. ”
Shen Yunqing half-narrowed his eyes, his eyes fell on the booklet, and he was silent for a while before he said again: "Take it." ”
In her previous life, she hadn't experienced this, and she became more and more curious about what the queen was thinking.
The second day was the day of the chrysanthemum banquet, Shen Yunqing packed up, and as soon as he walked out of the door of the dormitory, he was stopped by the palace maid at the door.
"The princess went to the queen's chrysanthemum banquet?"
Shen Yunqing paused, squinted at the person who spoke.
As if sensing the confusion in Shen Yunqing's eyes, the palace maid hurriedly saluted: "Slave Mingzhu." ”
Only then did Shen Yunqing think that this pearl was also one of the four personal palace maids she had chosen before.
It's just that she put Tingxi and Zhuyin by her side to wait, so the other two didn't pay too much attention.
Why did she suddenly stop herself?
"Well, I'm really going to the Queen's Chrysanthemum Feast, what's wrong?"
Mingzhu bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before she said: "The small banquet held by the queen mother, it stands to reason that the invited concubines and princesses are all going to dress up to attend. ”
"The princess is wearing a palace dress that every princess in the palace has sent on a monthly basis, and if the princess wears this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate. ”
Shen Yunqing paused, lowered his head and looked at the palace clothes on his body, and his expression suddenly looked a little flustered: "But...... But none of the clothes I brought back to the palace before could be brought into the palace, and now, I only have these palace clothes sent by the Shangyi Bureau. ”
"What should I do then? If I pass like this, will the Queen Mother think that I have neglected me?"
Tingxi and Zhuyin glanced at each other, and the two of them had already reacted quickly.
Ting Xi hurriedly stepped forward: "It was the slave who was negligent, but as the princess said, the clothes in the princess's cage are only these palace clothes......"
"Yes. Zhuyin hurriedly answered: "The slave maid remembers that two days ago, when those masters in the palace came to visit the princess, they also gave a lot of clothes and jewelry and ......."
"It's really a bit inappropriate for the princess to go in this way, or the slave maid will take out the things sent by the masters before and see if there is anything suitable. ”
Shen Yunqing's eyes lit up: "Yes, I remember that they gave a lot of clothes and jewelry before, and a few of them are quite good-looking." Hurry, hurry, go and get it for me. ”
Shen Yunqing turned around and walked back to the dormitory, and when he walked to the door of the dormitory, he stopped again, turned his head to look at the pearl: "You...... Your name is Mingzhu, right?"
"Yes, Slave Pearl. ”
Shen Yunqing bowed his head, his face full of smiles: "Today's incident, if you hadn't reminded me, maybe I would have made a fool of myself in front of everyone." If it's just a fool, maybe you won't even know that you've offended your mother. ”
"You've done a great job today, come in with this princess. ”
A dark glint flashed in Mingzhu's eyes, and he responded with a smile: "Yes." ”
Mingzhu followed behind Shen Yunqing and entered the dormitory.
Shen Yunqing walked to the dresser, turned around twice in front of the bronze mirror, and looked at himself: "This dress is indeed not very good-looking." ”
Mingzhu smiled with her eyebrows: "Although it is just an ordinary palace dress, the princess is beautiful, so even if it is an ordinary palace dress, she also wears a posture of captivating the country and the city." ”
"Really good at talking. Shen Yunqing was amused: "In which palace did you wait in before?"
"The slave maid used to wait in the Anci Palace, but later because the Queen Mother was getting older, she felt that the climate of the imperial city was dry, and the winter was cold and the summer was hot, so she went south to live in the south for a long time, and the slave and maid were idle. That's when he was selected by Manager Liu......"
Shen Yunqing nodded, and his expression became more and more satisfied: "It turned out that I had served by the emperor's grandmother's side, no wonder, I know all the rules in the palace, and I also understand the world." ”
"From now on, you will also be by the side of this princess. ”
"Thank you, princess. ”
Zhuyin and Tingxi have already asked someone to move everything in: "There are four sets of clothes, and some jewelry, the princess will come and see if you like it?"
Shen Yunqing nodded, and asked the palace people to spread out their clothes, but they didn't choose by themselves, but only turned their heads and asked Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, you come and help me take a look, which set is more appropriate for me to wear?"
Mingzhu saluted, and his eyes swept over the clothes: "The princess is just a princess, not a concubine, and it is just a small banquet, it should not be too grand and formal, this is red and dark color will be ruled out first." ”
"This rouge and this blue and blue can be used, but the princess has a bright appearance, and this rouge should be the most beautiful for the princess......"
Shen Yunqing's eyes fell on the rouge dress embroidered with butterflies, and squinted slightly, this set of clothes was sent by the concubine.
