Chapter 20 Dragon Boat Festival
As for how Chu Xuan stopped, it was not only Yufu's Dun Dun teaching of "moving with affection and reasoning", but also thanks to yesterday's greetings.
A group of concubines sat obediently at the foot of the steps, and from time to time someone flattered them. The queen seemed very comfortable, but unfortunately this kind of time was not much. If it weren't for the announcement that those concubines and concubines would go to Xiyuan with the emperor to watch the dragon boat race, etc., maybe there would be some kind of competition here.
The West Garden is not far from the palace, so the concubines don't need to prepare in advance, so they didn't announce it until today. As for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other affairs, it is natural that they have been prepared for a long time.
In the scorching eyes of the concubines, the queen took a sip of tea, and Shi Shiran spoke: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival." He stopped halfway through.
I have to say that the queen still has some bad taste in some things. fished the hearts of a concubine to the throat, but then there was no follow-up.
In such an atmosphere, people as cold as Wen Jieyu are also worried.
The queen slowly spit out the next sentence: "As for the escort this time, the palace has also discussed with the emperor." Concubine He, Concubine Lin, Wen Jieyu, Ma Liangyi, Chu Meiren, and Jiang Baolin accompanied the driver. ”
As soon as these words came out, although the people below did not discuss it in a big way, they still whispered to each other. After all, the concubines accompanying the driver this time were too unexpected, but Concubine He, Wen Jieyu, and Chu Meiren were not unexpected, after all, they were favored. But didn't Concubine Lin just make a fuss about the art of disgust a few days ago? Why was he still booked to accompany the driver? And what happened to Ma Liangyi and Jiang Baolin, I hadn't even heard the names before. It can be described as a little-known. What's more, Jiang Baolin in the queen's mouth is not even qualified to enter the palace to ask for peace now, and Ma Liangyi is also a rookie who entered the palace this time, although the position is not too low, but it is still inferior to Concubine Lin and Wen Jieyu. Even if Chu Xuan's position is not higher than her, but the family is from Baolin Jin, and Ma Liangyi has never moved in the position of Liangyi.
It's just that these few went, why didn't Concubine Yi and Song Jieyu go? Everyone knows that Song Jieyu is the queen, and they thought that the queen would nominate her to take her. And although Concubine Yi is not as good as those three during this time, she is not out of favor.
The queen leisurely watched the concubines under the steps and discussed, and when she had seen enough, she took action to chase them away. As the saying goes, three women in one play, there are more than three women here, and they don't know how many plays they can sing, and their noise is comparable to those crows.
The people who were not brought were unconcerned and depressed, and the people who were brought were also full of spring breeze and wind under their feet, and even their temper was much better.
Although it was out of the palace, Chu Xuan did not show much joy. Yes, perhaps she may be glad that this list affirms how favored she has been over the past few months. But as an out-and-out otaku, this is not necessarily good news. Not to mention how hot the sun has to be in May.
However, when Chu Xuan was clear and sat in the carriage with a white face, he knew what a painful realization this was.
Even in ancient times, when the body was changed, the motion sickness that was about to die and live was still not cured. She would vomit to death on the now flat road, let alone the bumpy carriage.
Jiang Baolin, who was in the same car as her, looked at her timidly, curled up in the corner and didn't say a word. If it weren't for Chu Xuan covering his abdomen with one hand, leaning against the car window with his eyes half-closed and trying to calm down his feelings, otherwise he would have to complain, girl, it's obvious that I am motion sickness, I am uncomfortable, what are you so afraid of? Are you afraid that I will vomit on you? But, then again, it's a good idea.
After more than an hour of bumps, it has finally arrived. The so-called West Garden is a royal garden. Originally, hearing this name, Chu Xuan thought it wasn't much bigger. As a result, when you actually look at it, it's just too big. But also, it's said to be a garden, how small can it be?
However, this West Garden is also really exquisite, with high platforms and thick pavilions, and corridor gardens and yaotai abound. The garden layout is sparse and dense, the water and trees are Qinghua, and there is the joy of spring stones.
Xiyuan had already cleaned up the house for a short rest, and after Chu Xuan said hello, Yufu walked straight to the house to rest, and he didn't have time to enjoy those beautiful scenery. Chu Xuan was paralyzed on the soft couch and dizzy, and he couldn't even take off his cloth shoes.
When Chu Xuan woke up slowly, the people over there didn't know how many circles they had turned around in the garden. It's also a shame that they set off in the morning, and Chu Xuan is going to have lunch this time.
Chu Xuan glanced at the dishes on the table, he was really happy. Because it is in the West Garden, there are many prey in the woods for autumn hunting. The wild meat in the natural diet accounts for the majority, but you must know that Chu Xuan is not happy without meat.
After eating and drinking, Chu Xuan didn't have the leisure to go out for a walk in the sun. She would rather nest in the house than go out and be baptized in the scorching sun.
Chu Xuan is not happy to go out, but it doesn't mean that the other concubines like to be stuffy in the house. If you go out a few more times, the greater the probability of meeting the emperor. Concubine He and Concubine Lin are still like this, not to mention the unfavored Ma Liangyi and Jiang Baolin. If Chu Xuan sees this scene, he will definitely sigh: the most difficult thing to sell is probably the beauty grace.
Kung Fu is not convinced, Gu Jun was finally touched by someone when he walked outside, so that the person was also among the favored, but this is a later story.
But before Chu Xuan could lie down for long, there was a rumor outside the door that he was going to race a dragon boat. This kind of group of ministers have to come together, and then watch a group of big men waving this oar racing the dragon boat bare-chested, Chu Xuan is really not very interested. But no matter how much she resisted in her heart, she couldn't resist the emperor's words, and everyone went to the water pavilion. What's more, others can't come even if they want to.
On a May day, the sun is also very hot. Everyone gathered in the water pavilion to watch the dragon boat race, although there were a lot of people, but this water pavilion was big. With so many people gathered, it doesn't seem crowded.
The water pavilion is built near the water, and the scenery is also pleasant. And the people in the lake are rowing the oars, and the sound of the drum is in the ears, and I only feel that it makes people passionate.
Chu Xuan's heart was tickled like a cat. It's a pity that she is a female dependent, and the so-called difference between men and women can be vividly reflected in ancient times. In front of Chu Xuan's table, the bead curtain was hung down, and she could only see a rough idea of what was going on, but she didn't dare to stretch out her hand to lift the bead curtain to see what was going on.
After all, who knows if she just lifted the bead curtain one second, and the next second she will expose her "crime" with a clear and audible voice.
