Chapter 286: Oiran (2)
Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Jingshu's body.
Ling Jingshu unhurriedly lifted the veil: "Please ask the emperor and all the ladies to appreciate this pot of Luoyang brocade." ”
The milky white and pink huge flowers were revealed in front of everyone's eyes, which immediately caused everyone to exclaim: "It turned out to be a multi-colored peony." ”
"This pot of peony flowers is so big and beautiful!"
"Yes, I've seen multicolored peonies, but I've never seen such a big flower!"
"This aroma is also very special, you can still smell the fragrance faintly from such a distance!"
A hint of jealousy flashed in Wang Meiren's eyes.
As soon as this pot of Luoyang brocade appeared, she immediately compared her Lantian jade.
The peony flowers are gorgeous and colorful, Ling Jingshu stands pretty, the delicate face and the peony reflect each other, and the person is more delicate than the flower.
This Ling Jingshu was in the limelight at today's flower-viewing banquet. Hmph, it's obviously deliberate, I want to take the opportunity to attract the emperor's attention!
In the praise of everyone, Queen Xu also stretched her brows, raised her lips and smiled: "This pot of peonies blooms well, and the name is also very good." Luoyang brocade is implying the prosperity of Luoyang in the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”
"Good!" The emperor took the lead in saying hello, and the dragon's eyes flashed with brilliance: "In my opinion, today's Oiran is none other than this pot of Luoyang brocade." What do you think of the concubine? ”
Wei Jieyu was the first to smile and open her mouth to agree: "What the emperor said is very true, and the concubines also think that this Luoyang Jinyan crown is beautiful, which can be called an oiran." ”
The other concubines were not to be outdone, and opened their mouths again and again.
Empress Xu was quite complacent, and glanced at Wang Meiren intentionally or unintentionally: "Wang Meiren, your Lantian jade lost to Luoyang Jin in this palace, can you be convinced?" ”
Wang Meiren secretly gritted her teeth, and squeezed out a smile on her face: "The queen is like the bright moon in the sky, how dare the concubines compete with the mother." Losing to the queen's mother, the concubine is convinced! ”
After a pause, he said pointedly: "This Luoyang brocade was planted by Lady Ling, and it should be credited to Lady Ling today." The queen can be rewarded a lot. Wei Jieyu, do you say yes or no? ”
Wei Jieyu smiled.
Wang Meiren's last sentence was clearly sinister and ill-intentioned.
Wei Jieyu was once a palace maid next to Queen Xu, and was later favored by the emperor to serve the bed, which led to the later glory and wealth of flying on the branches. Wang Meiren deliberately compared Ling Jingshu and Wei Jieyu, and the intention was self-evident.
None of the concubines and female officials present were stupid. Who can't hear that?
Ling Jingshu frowned slightly invisibly. It's just that it's not her turn to speak on such occasions. She must not open her mouth, lest she really attract the attention of the emperor.
Wei Jieyu quickly recovered as usual, and said with a faint smile: "Lady Ling has planted such a good peony, and the queen will have a heavy reward." These little things, don't bother you and me! Sister Wang has such a free time, it is better to move Lantian Yu back, water more and loosen the soil to serve and take care of it. It doesn't matter if you lose this year, wait until next year to compete for this oiran. ”
Wang Meiren: "......"
Wang Meiren was ridiculed openly and secretly, her face turned red and white, very exciting.
On weekdays, Wei Jieyu has a gentle temper and is the best to speak, but I didn't expect to have such sharp teeth!
Empress Xu smiled and started a round: "Decide on the Oiran, and then you will be."
The crowd responded in unison.
Empress Xu looked at the emperor, and her voice was quite coquettish: "The emperor is willing to enjoy the light in the Jiaofang Palace, and accompany the concubines and sisters to have lunch together." ”
The emperor smiled happily: "The queen personally invited, how can I not go." ”
……
Ling Jingshu and Ruilian each carried the peony flowers back to the Jiaofang Palace.
The pot of fragrant jade and several other pots of peonies were placed in the main hall, and only the pot of Luoyang brocade was carefully placed in Empress Xu's bedroom.
After finishing this, Ling Jingshu finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly rubbed her pantothenic wrist.
The flower pot is not very heavy, but after moving it for a long time, my wrist is already sore and numb.
Ruilian didn't get much better, rubbing her wrist while complaining in a low voice: "It's not two or three days, this wrist is not expected to recover." Fortunately, the two of us don't need to serve for today's palace banquet. ”
Ling Jingshu smiled and snorted.
Ruilian glanced at Ling Jingshu and said with a smile: "Ashu, you have been in the limelight at the flower viewing banquet today, and you have won back face for the queen's mother. Taking advantage of the queen's happiness, you can ask for some rewards, and the mother will definitely not refuse. ”
"I do what I have to do, and I am embarrassed to open my mouth and ask for any reward." Ling Jingshu responded with a smile quietly.
Ruilian's eyes flashed, and she pursed her lips with a smile: "It's just the two of us here, you don't have to be so careful when you speak." ”
He lowered his voice again and said, "Today, the emperor can look at you a few more times." With your beauty, if you have this thought, you might as well make it clear to the queen. Niangniang is broad-minded, not only will she not blame, but she may also take the initiative to fulfill you! ”
Wei Jieyu was just a palace maid next to the queen back then, but later won the favor of the emperor, and then she was reborn and became the master. Your beauty is not inferior to Wei Jieyu......"
Emperor?
Ling Jingshu thought of the wrinkled face, and felt sick to her stomach for a while, and responded coldly: "Sister Ruilian said that she laughed. I've never had the heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix. In that case, it's better not to say it in the future. lest they be heard, and their hearts may be misunderstood. ”
All of Relian's words were choked back.
Oh, yes! If Ling Jingshu wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, she can choose the young and handsome imperial grandson with a bright future. Although the emperor is the ninety-five, he is old enough to be a grandfather. I don't know how many years I can live!
Replace her, and she is not happy.
Seeing that Ruilian was silent, Ling Jingshu said, "Sister Ruilian, I'm very tired today, and I want to go back and rest for a long time." If the queen has something to summon, please ask my sister to ask her to go to the house and call me. ”
Ruilian responded with a smile.
After Ling Jingshu returned to the house, Bai Yu and Qiaoyun immediately gathered around and asked curiously, "Miss, did that pot of Luoyang brocade take the Oiran?" ”
Ling Jingshu smiled and nodded.
As for the small "episode" at the flower-viewing banquet, don't mention it. Her illness has not healed, and she can't touch any man who is close to her, and it is impossible for Queen Xu to fight this idea, but there is no need to worry.
Bai Yu was suddenly full of joy, clapping his hands again and again, and even Qiaoyun was full of joy.
After a few busy months, it was finally not in vain.
Seeing Ling Jingshu's tired face, Bai Yu immediately tugged at Qiaoyun's sleeve: "Miss must be tired today, let's rest for a while." The slave and maid will come back later. ”
After the two maids retreated, Ling Jingshu lay down with her clothes and soon fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
