Chapter 163: Seven-Tailed Phoenix
Although the Orchid Garden is only a separate courtyard, there are very few people living in the year, but the supporting facilities are very sound.
After Xia Xue'er entered the courtyard, Cuizhu commanded a few maids to move the baggage brought out from Tingyuxuan back to the small courtyard one by one, this time it was not just because the old lady was a banquet, it was originally planned to stay for a few days. In the past, whenever it was summer, the young lady would move to the orchid garden to live for two months, lightly dressed, except for the four of them, the rest stayed in the Hou Mansion, this year is the first time to come, but the difference is to step on the tail of summer.
It is precisely because she lives in this courtyard far away from the Hou Mansion that she has no eyes that stare at her all the time, and Xia Xue'er is not confined to herself. The figure disappeared in three days, and it took several days to disappear. In the past, they didn't know that there was such a thing as the Valley of the Netherworld, but when the young lady went to the mountains and rivers, anyway, since they started to serve the young lady, they knew that they were not facing an ordinary young lady, and they repeated the same mistakes four or five times, and gradually became strange, anyway, every time they disappeared for three or five days, they would always come back safely in the end.
Xia Xue'er took Yu Yingxi's hand and went straight to the front hall. Although I don't like to be so lively with everyone wearing masks, as the concubine of the Hou Mansion, people are always sophisticated. While walking, I comforted myself, and regarded this right as the friendship of the landlord!
In late summer and early autumn, the sky is high and cool, and the summer heat has been removed, and people no longer hide in the room with ice basins and let the maids fan the fans, which can be regarded as living up to this great scenery. There is a garden in the orchid garden, the area is not large, but there are more than 20 fruit trees planted in each season, and the peach trees and apricot trees are already fruitful at this time. The maid picked a lot of them early in the morning, and each pavilion and pavilion, as well as the place where the cloister can rest and watch the scenery, have placed a fruit plate intimately, because it is picked before sunrise, and the fruit still carries the crystal morning dew, which is even more mouth-watering.
In the corner ahead, a maid wearing a green gauze skirt knelt beside the stone table, the half-peeled peach in her hand revealed the flesh white mixed with seductive pink, and beside her, a woman sat on the beauty leaning in dark red, and the most eye-catching thing on the high bun was the seven-tailed phoenix, low-key and luxurious, all showing the woman's transcendent identity. She sits dignified, with a straight back, elegant temperament, a peony-colored long skirt covering the vamp, one hand on the beauty leaning on the round wooden railing, the gold silk dark lines on the cuffs are looming, the dark red log and the ink-colored sleeves are even more skinny, the tips of the ten fingers, and the gold armor on the little finger shines in the sun, which looks more noble and atmospheric.
Xia Xue'er walked with a group of girls talking and laughing, and saw the woman sitting on the beauty from a distance, although she couldn't see her face with her back to her, but she also saw the identity of the other party at a glance, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this should be the fundamental reason why the old lady invited guests, but she couldn't help but hide it too well, and she didn't even hear the slightest rumor from her mother in advance, and everyone only thought that the old lady was red and waiting for the prince to be promoted to power!
It's ridiculous!
"Sister, look at whose lady is sitting over there?"
Yu Yingxi stretched out her hand and pulled Xia Xue'er's sleeve, shook it twice, and then pointed with her other hand at the woman who was leaning on the beauty and facing the group of little ladies. The rest of the people also looked in the direction of her finger, and they all saw the lady in her mouth, but they were puzzled by the identity of the other party, and some people guessed which noble person in the palace, but because they had not heard any rumors beforehand, they all denied themselves. After all, it's just a small banquet, if you can really invite the nobles in the palace to attend, it will be a great honor, I can't wait for the whole city to know, how can there be such silence?
The few little ladies who were traveling with them just denied their suspicions in their hearts, and then heard Xia Xue'er's voice coming: "Don't talk nonsense, that's the concubine Niangniang." I was a little dumbfounded for a while, first looked at Xia Xue'er, saw that she looked peaceful, and then looked suspiciously at the "concubine Niangniang" in the mouth of Miss Xia San, who was a corner away from her, except for her temperament, there was no other place to show her identity, if it was to say that she was dressed, it was not only the palace people who could afford to wear it!
"How do you know?"
Hearing this slightly sour inquiry, Xia Xue'er turned her head to look at the person who spoke, this person followed at the end of the line, white and clean, wearing accessories that were not very good, and her eyes were very raw, she was actually a woman who couldn't name herself. Just look at her eyes seemed to be full of fear, although she said this, but after receiving Xia Xue'er's gaze within three seconds, she lowered her head, and a silk scarf in her hand was clenched tightly, as if she would open a mouth with a little more effort. There seemed to be a small word on the side, Xia Xue'er couldn't help but squint her eyes to look at it, so much so that she noticed it, and hurriedly moved her hand to hide the small word, but she still let Xia Xue'er see it clearly, Jin, whose daughter is this? I have never heard of it.
Xia Xue'er retracted her gaze, and glanced at the people next to her when she turned around, they were also puzzled, presumably they didn't know where this was the woman who came from, but it was not easy to ask her identity. In the upper class of this prosperous capital, the in-laws of each family, the family power, and the names of their children and grandchildren...... It's never a secret, these basic information, when they were young, would be told to them one by one, and it was something that had already been memorized. Even if you have never met that person, you know her background and age, and meeting is just a way to associate face with people. If this person is someone who has been omitted by his carelessness, wouldn't it make people laugh at themselves for having no rules and shallow knowledge? Therefore, when such a crowd gathers, it is better to wonder than to ask. Xia Xue'er didn't care about the identity of this strange woman, she was just curious about the tone of her voice, as if she obviously had some ulterior secrets in her heart.
She just replied to Yu Yingxi's words, it was purely kind, she was just worried that the naïve Yu Yingxi would be reckless and say something disrespectful and do something disrespectful. And at this time, when asked by this girl, there were people in the crowd who wanted to see jokes, and since this was the case, there was no reason for her not to say it.
"The queen wears a nine-tailed phoenix, and the concubine has to wear a seven-tailed phoenix, everyone, please take a closer look to know that it's not my nonsense."
The words of the little woman behind her, Sun Guifei at the corner listened to it without saying a word, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile. (To be continued.) )
