Chapter 20 The Quest for Books in the Library Pavilion
Concubine Ning stopped moving around because she was annoyed by Qing Shuyi these days, and just went to the queen's place to say goodbye to the queen. The queen was in a good mood and didn't find fault.
Concubine Ning inquired left and right, and actually knew that the queen had gone to Zhaoyang Palace, and she had been in the palace for a year, and she hadn't heard that the queen had a good relationship with any concubine.
Ning Concubine put on a well-fitting palace robe, and the skirt was embroidered with a durable but not eye-catching pattern, I heard that Concubine Lin didn't like others to dress up more beautiful than her, and I heard that there was a waiter who secretly went to Tianjilou to bribe an embroidery girl in order to compete for favor, and embroidered the best Shu brocade with the most gorgeous patterns, and the bright colors made this little waiter glamorous, and happened to be seen by Concubine Lin, and I heard that the end was very miserable.
Concubine Ning asked people to prepare some gifts, and walked to Zhaoyang Palace with the maids around her. I have never been to Zhaoyang Palace, and I don't know if Zhaoyang Palace is more gorgeous than the queen's Kunning Palace as the legend says.
Concubine Lin was very surprised when she heard that Concubine Ning was coming, but she still made up, that Concubine Ning was a beauty, and she couldn't lose to this little hoof.
Song Xiangya waited outside for a long time, and the charcoal in the hand stove was about to be extinguished, so she waited for Concubine Lin to summon her.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that Concubine Lin was sitting on the couch with a plump body, and I was startled, is this still the Concubine Lin I knew before?
Concubine Ning's blessing: "Concubine Song asks for peace to the mother." ”
Concubine Lin greeted her with a smile: "Let my sister wait for a long time." ”
Looking at Ning Concubine's delicate and pale face, you can use "Xi is like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind." Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising to the morning glow; Forced to observe it, the scorching Furu out of the waves" summarized, a pair of water eyes tactfully between the indescribable charm. Between bowing my head, there was a little more pity in my eyebrows, I was indeed a beauty, and I was very jealous in my heart.
"My sister is so pretty, but there is a favor, unlike my sister who has passed the most beautiful flowering period of a woman, look at my sister's dress, but she is a little more pure, red rose, go to get the glazed inlaid gold butterfly love flower jade hairpin in the palace, this hairpin is the most suitable for my sister." Concubine Lin said, supporting her with her hand, "It's cold on the ground, my sister has golden branches and jade leaves, if she is sick, my sister can't afford it." ”
He actually ordered Lu Ping to add some charcoal to Concubine Ning's hand stove. It's all about it.
Song Xiangya has been snubbed by Qing Shuyi in the past few days, and Concubine Lin was very moved to treat him like this: "My sister treats her concubine really well." ”
Concubine Lin took the hairpin with a smile and carefully inserted it into Concubine Ning's hair: "This hairpin was rewarded by the Queen Mother, last time I saw my sister dressed very plainly in this palace, I thought about it for my sister, but I forgot about it because there were too many things." Now that you're here, this hairpin is just right for you. ”
"It's really nice for my sister to treat my sister." Concubine Ning was inexplicably moved, remembering the grievances of the past few days, she covered her tears with a handkerchief, for fear of losing her temper.
When Concubine Lin saw that the Song family claimed to be her sister, she said with a smile: "My sister has been in the palace for a while, and now I see that my sister is much better." It's just that my sister has been making fortune these days, and the emperor is also talking when he comes to this Zhaoyang Palace, what can my sister do to help my sister? ”
Song Xiangya looked at Concubine Lin: "Sister, have you ever used anything that shouldn't be used?" ”
Concubine Lin shook her head: "It's just a tonic sent by the family, I have lived in the West Palace in the past few years, and my body is very weak." ”
Song Xiangya said: "Sister's tonic may be too much, so let's reduce the tonic." ”
Concubine Lin Guifei thought of her mother's prescription for giving birth, and wanted to sue Song Xiangya, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed, if Song Xiangya got this prescription, it would be a disaster to be favored and conceive an heir one step earlier.
"What's so hard to say about my sister?" Song Xiangya said.
"To tell my sister the truth, this body is so blessed, will my sister find a way to help my sister?" Concubine Lin asked, she still had something to look forward to.
"My sister is weak, I can't use those tiger and wolf tonics, my sister regulates my sister's body, why don't my sister lift my sister?" Song Xiangya said that she doesn't make a loss-making business, if she can surpass Yao Tingfei in status this time, she won't have to salute her in the future.
"My sister laughed, how did my sister know that my sister would be so capable, it was better for my sister to take care of my sister first, if I could return to my previous appearance after a month, my sister would definitely say something good for my sister." Concubine Lin looked at Song Xiangya sarcastically, originally thought that this woman had no ambitions, but it seemed that the rumors were true. Concubine Ning formed an alliance with the queen, and as for why the queen did not promote the Song family, it is unknown.
"In that case, then my sister will try her best." Song Shifu took his leave, "Sister take care." ”
Concubine Lin saw that slender and slender gradually disappearing into the distance, looking at the exquisite porcelain bowl in her hand, the fire of jealousy in her heart was burning, why could she be so beautiful, but she kept getting rich.
The library is the most complete collection of classics in the palace.
Song Xiangya was dressed in casual clothes, even Qingsi was just lazy to pull it up, a delicate magnolia hairpin was inserted in her ear, and she flipped through several books in her hand, but she couldn't find it.
It's the sixth day of looking for a needle in a haystack. None of the palace maids around me can read and write, and it takes time to find it by yourself, so I really shouldn't have promised Concubine Lin.
At this moment, a pair of man's soap boots appeared in front of him, and it turned out to be the emperor he hadn't seen for a long time.
Song Xiangya looked at it in surprise, and forgot to salute, and the palace maid next to her pulled her, and she remembered.
"Xiangya greets the emperor." The soft voice is tactfully appropriate.
"No courtesy."
Xiangya stood up, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the emperor, last time because of Yanshunren, the emperor was also hot and cold to her, and at this time I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
"Why is Concubine Ai here?" The emperor asked
"Back to the emperor, the concubine's sister was sick, and the concubine heard that the library had a wide range of categories and a rich collection of books, and she thought that there might be a similar illness recorded." Ning Concubine said cautiously.
"Although there are many kinds of library cabinets, there is still very little mention of medical classics. Concubine Ai is so smart, she should think of where there are the most such books. The emperor smiled and gave Song Xiangya a hint.
Song Xiangya smiled, her eyes purred, and she gave a salute: "The emperor Shengming, the concubine already knows." ”
"Concubine Ai's flattering words are really pleasing to the ear." The emperor said, "I don't know which sister of the concubine is sick?" ”
Song Xiangya bowed her head: "The concubine can't sue the emperor, the concubine has an agreement with her sister." ”
The emperor waved his hand, and Song Xiangya took her leave.
The emperor appeared in the library and often went to it. Now that all the concubines have gone to the Imperial Garden, wouldn't it be more likely to be favored when they go to the library by themselves.
The emperor looked at Song Xiangya's back and was also full of emotion, but he didn't expect this little girl to be dressed like this is also very eye-catching.
So Song Xiangya was able to meet the emperor in the library every once in a while, and even twice the emperor called Ning Concubine to sleep.
After getting this news, none of the concubines in the palace couldn't wait to crush the handkerchief in their hands. Concubine Lin sighed, now that the Song family has returned to favor, she has one less bargaining chip for her to regulate her body for herself.
