156. Chapter 50
The scorching sun poured down from the sky, unbridled on the hurried pedestrians, filling the air with layers of heat.
This year's weather is really a bit strange, obviously not yet after the Qingming Festival, I saw that the sky was hot. The little palace maid raised her eyes to look at the bright sun in the sky, sighed in her heart, and obediently followed behind the aunt in charge. It's really depressing to say, their clothing bureau just finished the spring clothes, and they kept making the summer clothes, so tired that they couldn't lift their hands when they waited, but the masters of the palaces couldn't be offended.
"Red Lotus Girl."
The aunt in charge of the Clothing Bureau saw the red lotus root of the big palace maid beside Liang Liangdi from a distance, and her face was suddenly full of smiles. Since the death of King Yu five years ago, the queen has said that she is sick and recuperates in the Qiwu Palace, and rarely shows up. And the Qing concubine who was extremely favored by the emperor before, her grounding order has not been contacted, and she is still confined in the Zhuohua Palace. Although the concubine in the palace had no children under her knees, she was promoted to the concubine position because of her birthday. Originally, the two palaces competed for favor, but it became Concubine Rong's family dominance to put it mildly. Clear-eyed people can see clearly that five years ago, I was afraid that something happened to Concubine Qing that completely angered Xiao Feng, and she had fallen out of favor.
Concubine Rong came from a Jiangnan businessman, and she did not have a family background and brothers that she could rely on. Among the three princes who survived, King Yu has passed away, King Qing has a biological mother, Concubine Qing, and only the prince has no mother. Concubine Rong naturally moved closer to the prince in the open and in secret, and with the help of this concubine, the prince could occasionally win King Qingqing once or twice in front of Xiao Feng. The position of the crown prince is becoming more and more stable, so that the people in the East Palace also raise their eyebrows, of course, the most proud of them is the prince's favorite Ji Liang Liangdi.
The red lotus root, who stood in front of the aunt in charge, also became the person who had to be careful to please the heads of all departments and bureaus in the palace.
"Red Lotus Girl, this is the summer clothes that our Clothing Bureau specially made for Liang Liangdi. We chose the finest silk, and the lower part is embroidered with silk thread hibiscus flowers, which is suitable for the temperament of the mother. The housekeeper's aunt smiled flatteringly, and personally handed the summer clothes to the red lotus from the little palace maid's hand.
Red Lotus raised her head and didn't listen much to her introduction. Every company and every bureau will come to this statement, and she is tired of hearing it. She casually pulled out one of the clothes and looked at it, it did feel good, like water lubrication, and would not wear out her young lady's delicate skin.
"Alright, let's put it in." The red lotus waved to the little palace maid behind her, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is thanks to the Clothing Bureau to make new clothes and send them over in advance, otherwise the young lady will be hot and irritable these days.
The aunt in charge handed over the summer clothes in her hand, but did not leave as the red lotus root wished.
"Anything else?" The red lotus swept her contemptuously, this guy was waiting for the young lady to give a reward. In the past, the prince's status was not high, but occasionally there were times when the palace people bullied him, but recently, the prince's voice has become higher and higher, which palace people are not respectful when they see them! Her young lady and the prince have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they are the prince's heart, and once the prince ascends the throne in the future, the person in the world will be her young lady. These individuals are now currying favor with their faces, and it is for this reason.
When the housekeeper's aunt heard the red lotus's question, her old face lowered silently. It's not that she wants to go on this errand, but there is no way to shirk it, so she has to say stubbornly: "There is still a summer dress for the crown princess here......"
Before she could finish speaking, she received a glaring glare from the red lotus. This old girl is really hateful! I just want which pot not to open and which pot to mention!
The housekeeper's aunt felt her gaze, and her voice became quieter and quieter. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a decree a few days ago, so that our Clothing Bureau will also prepare it for the Crown Princess when we rush to make Liangdi summer clothes."
"I didn't expect that slut to refuse to stop in the Buddha Hall!" The red lotus root crushed the phlegm at the feet of the housekeeper's aunt. After the death of King Yu, Du Yunjin took the initiative to ask the prince to move to the Buddhist hall and never returned to the East Palace. It's just that she didn't expect that even in this way she would be able to hook up with the prince again, and let the prince specially explain how to make summer clothes. Bah! Isn't it a practice of leading hair! What summer clothes to wear!
The red lotus can insult Du Yunjin unscrupulously, all because she has Liang Naixin behind her, but the aunt in charge doesn't dare, after all, it was brought by the prince's side Manager Guo personally, and they didn't dare not obey.
"Dress like this, who are you trying to hook up with!" is different from Liang Naixin's delicate and gorgeous, the summer clothes for Du Yunjin are all plain, and there is no embroidery on them. Even so, it made the red lotus look red, and she suddenly tore open a few of them, threw them on the ground and stepped on them with her feet.
"Red Lotus Girl......" The aunt in charge couldn't stop it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Red Lotus Girl, this was personally ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
When the red lotus heard her say this, her heart became more angry and she stepped harder. In a few moments, the original plain clothes became dirty and unsightly.
Seeing that the red lotus didn't listen to the dissuasion at all, the little palace maid of the Clothes Bureau turned red, and lowered her head to hide her angry gaze. Because Guo Housheng came to deliver the word late, they worked all night for several nights to make these clothes, but they never thought that they would be ruined like this for no reason before they reached the hands of the crown princess.
The little palace maid felt sorry for her craftsmanship, but the aunt in charge was annoyed that the red lotus didn't know what to do. She is the aunt in charge of the Clothing Bureau, subordinate to the second grade, and is a female official in the court. was supposed to salute her, but now that she came to the door to please her, but she got such treatment, no one would feel better. Moreover, these clothes were destroyed by the red lotus, and they could no longer be given to the crown princess, so they could only wronged themselves and then re-made in order not to disobey the prince's will. Because of the early summer this year, they are already busy, where can they squeeze in time to make the summer clothes of the crown princess! If this angers the prince, they will be the ones who will suffer!
"Red Lotus Girl!" The housekeeper's aunt's voice unconsciously became stern, "These clothes belong to the crown princess. ”
"The crown princess?" Red Lotus smiled coldly, and she whispered in the ear of the aunt in charge: "There is only one Liang Liangdi in this East Palace, when has there ever been a crown princess?" Could it be that my aunt has been in the palace for so many years, and she can't even see this little thing clearly? ”
The aunt in charge was shocked, with her years in the palace, she could more or less guess that although the crown princess was worshipping Buddha in the Buddhist hall, she still occupied the position of the main concubine, how could this not anger that Liang Liangdi!
Honglu was satisfied to see that the housekeeper's aunt's face changed slightly, and said proudly: "If my aunt is old and dizzy, Liangdi will not mind helping my aunt inform Concubine Rong, and let my aunt go out of the palace in advance to care for the elderly." ”
"You!" The housekeeper's aunt glanced at the red lotus, and finally turned away with a frown. She was promoted to this position by Concubine Qing, and since Concubine Qing was grounded, she has been walking on thin ice, afraid that one day Concubine Rong will find an excuse to send her out of the palace. Liang Liangdi is the prince's heart, if she really makes this request to Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong will definitely agree.
The red lotus looked at the aunt who was leaving in gray, and the smile on her face became more and more vigorous, just like the hibiscus in the pond of Mirror Lake was blooming warmly.
They also turned to leave, leaving only the trampled Xia Yi lying alone and helpless on the ground, swaying in a weak posture with the wind.
