In the afternoon, the West Garden is full of people and seems to be more lively than ever. Of course, because all the girls had just finished participating in the banquet invited by the queen to watch the play, and they were all elated, except for Xia Pianpian and Yu Shunning.

After the last quarrel, the two were grounded by Jinyun and couldn't participate in this event, so they were naturally very depressed.

The beautiful women in the courtyard were smiling like flowers, and Xia Pianpian held her face with her hands in her hands, sitting in front of the window and looking at them in a daze.

"Pianpin."

"Huh?"

Xia Pianpian slowly came back to her senses.

"Why don't you come out and play?"

There is a person standing in front of the window, who comes with willow eyebrows and teeth, wearing a gold silk embroidered flying crane pattern willow yellow breast-length skirt, with a heart bun on his head, and a sticky emerald inlaid gold Huasheng on the bun, which can be the finishing touch.

"I don't know what to talk to you about."

Xia Pianpian stood up and leaned against the window, smiling a little reluctantly.

"Don't say that, it's not good to be bored in the house all the time! Look at it, Yu Qing went to the Huanyi Bureau for a few days, and you were in a daze for a few days, and your whole face was slimmed down. ”

The visitor pointed to Xia Pianpian's face.

Sure enough, the woman cherished her appearance, and she subconsciously touched her face.

"Don't think about it so much, come out and breathe!"

Someone beckoned.

Xia Pianpian thought about it for a moment and agreed with a smile.

It is still a lively place, and you can fully feel the vitality and vigor of this group of young women.

Xia Pianpian sighed like this, and casually picked up a stone bench and sat down.

"Mingzhen, is it lively today?"

Xia Pianpian turned her head to look at the comer, still couldn't help but be curious.

"Of course, there are a lot of people from the harem!"

The person who came was Ji Mingzhen, who lived with Xia Pianpian and Yu Yuqing on the trip to Xishan that day, so among the women, in addition to Yu Yuqing, Ji Mingzhen and Xia Pianpian were more familiar.

"Really? In addition to the queen's mother, the concubine and Zhaoyi, what are the other mothers? Aren't they good-looking? ”

Xia Pianpian tilted her head, her eyes bright.

Ji Mingzhen looked very envious, and said with infinite emotion: "If you want to say it, it should be really beautiful and picturesque!" Su Meiren, Xu Cairen, and Guiren, who have only been in the palace for a year or two, are already beautiful. What's more, they are both talented and talented, and they all change their hearts to please His Majesty! For example, I heard that Su Meiren has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and today she is really proficient in everything, especially good at blowing the hole flute, and no one dares to rank first in the palace if she dares to rank second, Your Majesty likes to listen to it! There is also that noble person, who was recommended by local officials to enter the palace in the summer last year, and is the best at dancing long-sleeved dances, and even the long-sleeved dances of the lady concubine Niangniang, who have always been good at dancing, are not as good as the nobles. You don't know, Guiren is still pregnant now, she walks with her head up, and a large number of maids and inner supervisors follow behind, that's called a pride! It didn't take long for them to enter the palace to be promoted to this position, especially the nobles, who gave birth to a dragon fetus in the future, and naturally they would be promoted, the future is really limitless! ”

Ji Mingzhen raised the silk scarf and fanned it one by one, Xia Pianpian listened to it and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Well, I want to see you like to see it." She was itching, so she had to sigh. "Don't be so depressed, aren't you afraid that you won't have a chance to meet them in the future?" While talking, Ji Mingzhen picked a branch of peony among the flowers on the side and held it in his hand to enjoy. Xia Pianpian nodded as if she didn't seem to have anything, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "Eh, let me explain Zhen, how do you know so much?" Aunt Jinyun and your fathers-in-law haven't told us anything about other mothers! Who sued you? Ji Mingzhen's body suddenly stiffened imperceptibly, and the hand that was playing with the petals stopped for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her calm: "Actually, I also listened to what other palace people said, just scraping together." Xia Pianpian didn't delve into it and didn't care. The two chatted for a while, during which a few younger little girls also came over, everyone talked and laughed, and Xia Pianpian gradually felt comfortable. The West Garden is quite large, but the girls are in groups of three or five, and the whole courtyard is a little crowded and noisy. However, even though it was so crowded and noisy, the appearance of Gonggong Mu made everyone quiet instantly. He came to pass on the message of the queen, that is, now that the queen mother has recovered, and the emperor finally decided to canonize a group of current women. In accordance with the emperor's will, the queen has set the first batch of recommended canonized women, and she will move out of Xiyuan after canonization in the near future. All the women were happy, but they were nervous. After Gonggong Mu finished announcing the decree, no matter how everyone pestered and asked, he just kept his mouth shut, and never revealed the queen's meaning, under the pretext that Fengcheng Palace still had important things to do, so he hurried back. Everyone returned in a huff, but they talked about it more excitedly, but everyone's faces were different. But Xia Pianpian was sharp-eyed, and after Gonggong Mu walked out of the gate of Xiyuan, Xing Ruolan and Liu Qingyan, as well as two or three girls from famous families, quietly followed. Xia Pian looked at it, and sure enough, these people were not very evasive, and they whispered something to Gonggong Mu not far from the gate. However, although she couldn't hear it clearly, just looking at Xing Ruolan's indifferent and elegant smile, she could guess two or three: after all, the closeness strategy with the queen was so good, and the queen also publicly expressed her affection for Xing Ruolan and Liu Qingyan, and there was naturally a place for these people in the first batch of canonized women's list! While thinking about it, Xing Ruolan and the others seemed to have returned to Xiyuan after talking to Gonggong Mu, but Cui Yi'an quietly slipped out alone. Xia Pianpian was a little puzzled, quit Ji Mingzhen and the others, and quietly followed. I saw Cui Yi'an turn left and right, and finally came to a large garden in the atrium of the harem and stopped. Xia Pianpian hid behind the rockery, looked left and right, and saw that she seemed to be waiting for someone. At this moment, someone came not far away. "Grandpa Cen." Cui Yi'an shouted, and rushed to the man with an arrow. "Eh, it's An Cainu!" The person who came was Father-in-law Cen, who immediately smiled and saluted. "An An has seen her father-in-law." Cui Yi'an was blessed and smiled obediently. "Don't dare, don't dare, how can the girl salute our family?" Father-in-law Cen was so strange, "Hey, is the girl waiting for our family?" Cui Yi'an was a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I did make a special trip to find my father-in-law." "An Cai Nu might as well say it if she has something to say." "Actually, it doesn't matter, it's just that Gonggong Mu just announced that he said about canonizing Cainu, I don't know if Gonggong Cen knows it......" Cui Yi'an lowered his head as he said and didn't continue. Gonggong Cen knew in his heart, and immediately smiled: "It turns out that An Cainu is here for this!" Alas, in fact, our family only knows a little news, Xing Ruolan Cainu, Liu Qingyan Cainu and Ji Mingzhen Cainu should be in the first batch of choices. For the rest of the people, our family really doesn't know, and we ask An Cai Nu to forgive their sins. Then he bowed slightly. Cui Yi'an and Xia Pianpian in the shadows were both taken aback: Because there is nothing wrong with Xing Ruolan and Liu Qingyan, they are the people that the queen affirms, but what about Ji Mingzhen? Although she can be regarded as both talented and beautiful, and her background is not bad, she is not particularly outstanding among the women, and she has not usually seen her say anything in front of the queen and other concubines, why does the first person have her? The two muttered to themselves, but they didn't get the point. "Anyway, Yi An thanked his father-in-law first. I delayed my father-in-law's work, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me. "Where, where, An Cai Nu is too polite." "However, can you ask your father-in-law to help pay attention to the matter of canonizing the girl this time? Gonggong Cen is highly respected, and it must be useful to speak in front of His Majesty. Cui Yi'an looked around cautiously as he spoke, and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Grandpa Cen. What a smart person Father-in-law Cen is, he has been in the palace for so long, don't he know what Cui Yi'an means? At this time, he didn't refuse, but his eyes flew around, his body moved forward, closer to Cui Yi'an, and then put his sleeve up, and the ingot of gold slid into Grandpa Cen's sleeve with a "swish". Xia Pianpian secretly observed this qiē, and couldn't help but sneer secretly at this moment. "What are you doing?" The two of them were engrossed in their attention, when a faint voice suddenly exploded in their ears, startling the two of them to shiver together.
