Chapter 9: The Eldest Princess

87_87437Song Qinglian was carried straight to the door of the fairy garden by the mothers-in-law, and after she got out of the soft pocket, the mother-in-law retreated. Song Qinglian walked inside with the marigold.

Since this fairy garden is named after the alias of plum, as the name suggests, the hall is full of plum trees, and the cold fragrance is refreshing. The hall is basically dominated by red plums, against the backdrop of white snow, it looks like clouds and clouds from afar, and it is like vast smoke. Up close, each branch has its own characteristics. Or like a snake coiled, or like a lone pine standing upright, or like a dragon going out to sea

There are also a few pearl plums in the corner, the snow-white small pearl-like flowers are covered with residual snow, and from a distance, it is impossible to distinguish where the snow is and where is the plum, only the dark fragrance comes to the face.

However, to Song Qinglian's surprise, except for the snorting sound when the wind blew the residual snow on the branches, there was no one in the entire fairy garden.

Song Qinglian thought for a while, and then said to Jinzhan, "You go and wait outside the courtyard." ”

"Yes." Marigold was blessed and retreated to the outside of the hospital.

Song Qinglian walked towards a corner of the courtyard, where there was a small arc-shaped corner gate, and after passing through the corner gate, there was a sudden opening in front of her. The pavilions are full of flowers, strange stones are lined up, and there is a strong fragrance coming to the nose. A few sleazed and thin plum trees are blooming in the north wind, and the golden flowers without a little variegation are clustered, densely packed together, and the branches are full of trees as if they are embellished with countless broken gold.

A woman wearing a blue cotton jacket, a cloth handkerchief on her head, and only a ruyi pattern mutton fat white hosta diagonally inserted, was standing under a plum tree, carefully pruning the extra branches and leaves of these plain plum blossoms.

The woman heard the footsteps behind her, and said without looking back, "Bring the cloth bag over there." ”

Song Qinglian looked around and saw a lotus-colored brocade cloth bag on the rock on the side. She hurriedly walked to the woman's side with it in her hand, and opened the mouth of the cloth bag very tacitly. The woman unceremoniously stuffed all the pruned branches and leaves into a cloth bag.

Song Qinglian said with a smile: "Call our big group of people to listen to the opera, but you are hiding here alone." ”

The plainly dressed woman is the eldest princess of today. Her appearance is five points similar to that of the current emperor, and she has a pair of slender Danfeng eyes. She is two years younger than Song Qinglian, but there are already a few strands of gray hair mixed in the black silk on her sideburns.

The eldest princess turned her head to Song Qinglian and smiled slightly, and said, "My temperament, you don't know yet, how many of those people outside I would like to meet?" There are some twists and turns in each belly, and there is wit and calculation in every sentence. You can still accompany me for a few words, so I asked the mother-in-law to carry you directly here. Qinglian, don't be surprised. ”

Song Qinglian's face showed a touch of pity, and she said in a low voice: "Since you are so unhappy, why do you force yourself to hold this plum appreciation party." ”

The eldest princess clicked and cut off another extra branch, and then said with a sneer: "The colt has been missing for so long, and I have been looking for it for so long." You don't know the gossip outside, and everyone says that I am haunted by the ghost of the pony, and that I am crazy. From time to time, I showed my face to the crowd to remind them that the colt was alive and that he was not dead. Even if I'm crazy, they're going to be crazy with me. ”

Song Qinglian comforted: "Why do you care about those people who only like to chew the root of their tongue? There is a queen mother horizontally and vertically, and the emperor loves you. You want people to have people, you want money to have money. Now that you are sure that the colt is not dead, you just have to let go of your hands and feet to find it. Why bother to be angry with these irrelevant people and embarrass yourself. ”

The eldest princess let out a long sigh and said, "If it weren't for the queen mother and the emperor who felt sorry for me, how could these people take me, a powerless eldest princess, in their eyes." Speaking of this, the eldest princess's face showed a look of confusion, she reached out and stroked the fragrant Su Xinmei, and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's not too difficult, but the horse loves to be lively when he is at home, and this garden is designed by him for me to enjoy." Especially these Suxin plums, which were planted by me and the horses, how can I bear to let this garden accompany me to be lonely? ”

"So these few plain plums are your treasures, and even the gardener can't touch them. As long as the ladies and ladies who have been to the other garden, there is nothing they don't know. Song Qinglian said: "But then again, you sent out so many people, and you have been looking for so long, is there any news?" ”

After half a ring, the eldest princess shook her head gently. Song Qinglian couldn't help but raise her voice and said, "Could it be that in the past five years, you haven't even found any valuable clues?" ”

The eldest princess shook her head slowly. Song Qinglian couldn't help but show a wry smile. If she hadn't been able to talk to the eldest princess for a few words, she would have thought that the eldest princess had gone crazy.

The eldest princess suddenly smiled and said, "The hour is almost up, please ask the Duchess of Zhenguo to accompany me to make up!" Now watching these wives forced by the imperial power to have to deal with me, the mad princess, has been my only pleasure in these years. ”

Song Qinglian couldn't help but poke a finger in her forehead, and said with a smile: "You! This naughty nature has not changed at all. It seems that Mrs. Ben has to accompany Her Royal Highness the eldest princess today. ”

The eldest princess and Song Qinglian walked out of the curved corner door together, and immediately a large group of palace maids and grandmothers surrounded them. The eldest princess ignored it, just took off the long-handled copper key on her waist, and carefully put a sturdy double-lying fish copper lock on the corner door. Then they returned to the next place surrounded by everyone. In the dormitory of the Immortal Garden.

took off the inconspicuous blue cotton jacket, changed into a red-faced fox bottom gold Luo peony dark pattern palace dress, and wore a long skirt with red knurled flowers inlaid with fox fur in the snow, and a few pieces of warm and beautiful jade were pressed on the skirt. With a high Lingyun bun on his head, a huge five-phoenix title treasure is inserted in the middle, and the Ruyi pattern mutton fat white hosta is still diagonally inserted on the eldest princess's bun.

She had a silver fox inlaid with Dongzhu Zhaojun hat around her forehead, hiding all the strands of early white hair, and a few warm and clear bracelets on her snow-white wrists. Then use the snail Dai to draw the tall willow eyebrows, halo the rouge, and smear the lipstick. The whole body is full of brilliance, wealth and compelling. As the eldest princess of the royal family, her grace, luxury, and majesty are fully displayed.

Even Song Qinglian, who had always been comfortable in front of her, couldn't help but hold her breath and become cautious under the shock of her brilliance
