Chapter 127: Tea Party
The weather in May is already extremely warm, wearing summer clothes do not feel cold, summer is coming, everyone will definitely be too lazy to go out, so the tea party held by the three princesses is in line with everyone's wishes.
Su Meng came to the garden early, asked people to set up a coffee table and chairs and cushions in the open space, and placed various tea sets and tea leaves, and ordered someone to boil water in the nearest palace to make tea.
Because there were both men and women, a screen was placed on the path in the middle of the garden to prevent men and women from seeing each other.
Su Meng supervised the work on one side of the garden, while Su Qian arranged on the other side.
At the end of the day, there were guests entering the palace dojo one after another, and a peaceful sound of salute sounded, so lively.
Su Meng arranged the man's side, handed it over to Su Yuan, and flirted with Murong Jue for a while before returning to the other side.
"Second Emperor Sister, have all the people here arrived?" Su Meng couldn't help but feel a little better when she saw the warbler Yanyan in the yard, and when she saw Su Qian in the busy, she asked.
Su Qian saw that it was Su Meng and smiled: "It's all here!" By the way, the three emperor sisters, your cooked Pu'er is excellent, now it is better to boil two pots, and when everyone is tired of enjoying the flowers, you can drink two cups. ”
"Good!" Su Meng nodded, the cool air has not faded in the early morning, it is best to drink some Pu'er after turning the garden, if the sun is scorching in the afternoon, drinking Pu'er will make people feel hot.
Watching the palace maids shuttling back and forth serving tea and water to these nobles and serving fruits and snacks, Su Meng came to the brazier on the side and boiled two pots of Pu'er.
Red dates are not suitable, just when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, some peach blossoms are collected and dried. Now I just cook a peach blossom Pu'er, which is delicious and nourishing, and everyone must like it.
Hongyu came to Su Meng's side, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and said with a smile: "In addition to the second prince and the eldest princess, even the Gongsun Li girl of the Gongsun family has already come, it seems that everyone is very good at giving the princess your face!" ”
Su Meng smiled: "Where is this for my face?" The father and the emperor have made an order, so it is naturally to give the father and the emperor face. Hongyu, look at the sweat on your head, wipe it off. It's cool. It's not good if it's windy! ”
Hongyu took the handkerchief handed over by Su Meng, wiped the sweat beads from her forehead, and then smiled: "Today's weather is good, and there is this grand event again." This month of unpleasantness. Finally gone! ”
"yes. There have been too many things that have happened in the past month or so, and three out of ten people in the palace have gone, and all the familiar people have left. Leave only grief to those who are still alive. Su Meng put down the tea needle for boiling tea, covered the lid, and sat in front of the fire.
Ruby didn't know how to answer, so she ducked to the side to guard her.
"Grief is the one who is left to us to live, but no matter how sad it is, we still have to live, don't we? Today, so many people come to enjoy the flowers and taste tea, but you are hiding here to grieve the spring and autumn, I'm afraid it's not a way of hospitality, right? ”
Su Meng looked up and saw a glamorous woman, dressed in goose-yellow palace clothes, with a silk white flower on her head, without any powder, looking a little haggard.
"Gongsun Li, it turned out to be you." Su Meng stood up and stood in front of Gongsun Li, who was a head taller than her.
"It's me, the one who left has already left, and we still need to go to the rest of the days ourselves, don't we?" Gongsun Li said again.
Su Meng nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”
"I entered the palace today, one is to enjoy the flowers, and the other is that I want to talk to you about some things, I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess will appreciate the light?" Gongsun Li smiled slightly, but the sadness in his eyes could not be concealed.
Su Meng pondered for a long time and said, "Okay." In that case, let's talk while enjoying the flowers. ”
"Miss Li, the layers of petals of this begonia flower are just like people's hearts, which are incomprehensible and unpredictable at a glance, but to peel off these layers of petals, in fact, it is very simple for people to be heartfelt." Su Meng walked among the begonia flowers, although the fragrance of the flowers was light, but there was no feeling.
Gongsun Li smiled and said: "The princess is a young lady, where do I dare to be, if the princess doesn't dislike it, call me Li'er!" ”
Su Meng was stunned and said with a smile: "Okay! Then don't be a princess, call me cute! ”
Gongsun Li was also stunned, he didn't expect these three princesses to be so free and easy, she didn't have any princess shelves at all, and she was not as proud as the eldest princess at all.
They are all princesses, and they are both princesses, and the gap is really big.
"Li'er, today's flowers are blooming just right, if you like it, you can come to me in the palace at any time." Su Meng kicked the stones on the ground, it was rare to have someone who had a good chat with her, and she was naturally happy.
Gongsun Li smiled: "Okay! In that case, you're welcome! ”
The two girls enjoyed the flowers all the way, hibiscus, lotus, wisteria, gorse, peony, etc., the flowers bloomed a lot, making people's minds open.
"Meng Meng, I know everything the queen has done." Gongsun Li suddenly said loudly.
Su Meng paused, turned around suddenly, and stared at her.
"Don't look at me like that, your hateful gaze scares me." Gongsun Li smiled bitterly, "What if I know a qiē?" Aunt Queen insisted on going her own way, and neither I nor my father persuaded her many times, but she just didn't listen. ”
"Later, for the glory of the family, my father told His Majesty what the queen's aunt wanted to do, so although the queen's aunt died, the Gongsun family was still glorious."
Su Meng nodded, although she didn't know what was going on, but she also guessed some, and now listening to what she said, she understood why no one in the court stopped Empress Gongsun's evil deeds.
"It's just that Her Royal Highness the Second Princess has suffered, and Concubine Shugui's death is unjust." Gongsun Li sighed.
"How did the lady die?" Su Meng stood still and didn't go any further, they had now come to the edge of the garden, almost no one moved, and Hongyu was guarding on the side, not teaching others to come.
Gongsun Li looked around and saw that there was no one, and then said: "The queen asked her father to find out that Concubine Shu had a sweetheart before entering the palace, and the two had a close relationship, Concubine Shu wanted to wait until the palace maid was twenty-five years old to leave the palace and remarry, but she didn't expect to be asked by Her Majesty." ”
"On the day that Concubine Shu hanged herself, Aunt Queen allowed your sisters to go to the Xuanshu Palace to visit Her Majesty, and then ordered the palace maid in Concubine Shu's palace to put a letter in her bedroom, and Concubine Shu only ...... after seeing the letter."
Su Meng said: "Could it be that the queen threatens Concubine Shugui?" ”
"Yes, the letter says that if Concubine Shu hangs herself, then Concubine Shu's sweetheart will die, and Princess Qian'er will also ......"
"The queen is really vicious! How could she do that? Su Meng said hatefully, grabbing the moon season in front of him, but accidentally pricked his hand.
Hongyu hurriedly ran over, and when she saw that Su Meng's hand was fine, she was relieved, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Gongsun Li, for fear that if she said something, she would make her princess do something impulsive. (To be continued.) )
