In the garden of Chenwangfu, flowers are clustered, bees and butterflies are flying.

In the flowers and grass, the skirt dances, and the warbler sings.

Looking for prestige, the woman at the head, with a face like a hibiscus, dignified and elegant, walked forward lightly, and the arrogance revealed between her eyebrows and eyes showed her noble status as the mistress of the palace.

In the group behind her, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark purple dress who was half of her body behind her talked to her from time to time, and on the other side of her was a young woman with a beautiful face, a slightly thin face, narrow eyes, and a slightly upturned corner of the eyes with a little shrewdness.

"This Chenwang Mansion really deserves its reputation, and the exotic flowers and plants in this garden are not inferior to the Imperial Garden. Look at how beautiful this flower is! The middle-aged woman, while gently holding the petals with her hand, sighed, with a dignified smile on her charming face.

"This is Tianzhu peony, a very rare variety, or a few days ago Fanbang dedicated to the emperor's birthday gift, because the two palaces want to do a happy event, they each rewarded a few plants, this flower is indeed beautiful, but this flower is not easy to raise, the day before yesterday into the palace, I saw that the queen in the courtyard of the few plants have not yet opened." Xi Ruoya also stopped, carefully watching the dazzling red and dazzling flowers in front of her.

"No wonder I've never seen this flower, it turned out to be from a foreign country." When the woman in purple heard the origin of this flower, she was even more amazed in her heart, and looked at the flower carefully again.

"Mother's appearance is funny, but it's just a few flowers, although the garden of the Guogong Mansion is a little old, but the strange flowers are not necessarily missing, if you like it, I will let people move two plants to you another day." Xi Ruoya looked at the obsessed appearance of the woman in purple and said with a chuckle.

She knew that her mother had always loved flowers, and the back garden of the Guogong Mansion was full of all kinds of flowers she had collected, but the house did not invite a florist, and every flower and grass in the garden was taken care of by her mother, and it has become the most important pastime in her life to caress flowers and grass every day.

Mrs. Xi turned her head to look at her, straightened up and said, "Look at what you said, your mother and I are such a visionless person?" But I really think this flower is beautiful, but you also said, this flower is not easy to raise, there is no special florist in our Guogong Mansion, I see, or don't move around, in case you can't raise it, wouldn't it be a pity. Besides, this is given by the emperor himself, and it can't be said that it will be moved. She let go of the branches and motioned for them to move on.

In fact, she really wants to move two plants back, but her daughter's current situation is clear in her heart, the emperor or something is just an excuse, what she really cares about is Situ Yu, these days, she is inseparable from Ruoya every day, but she doesn't even see the shadow of this uncle, I heard my daughter complain before, only said that he was because she was inconvenient, and he was sorry, now it seems that there is a big problem here, at this time, you have to keep a low profile, and you must not leave a handle on people.

"The princess and Mrs. Xi are really in deep love for mother and daughter, and the concubine is so envious!" Lu Ling'er, who had been silent, saw this scene and thought of her mother, and sighed.

"Concubine Lu's words sound sour, do you also want to make Lord Lingtang?" Xi Ruoya tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"The concubine really misses her mother, but the concubine is not as good as the princess, and she can be with her mother."

"What's a good life or a bad fate, if you really want to make the hall, take her to the house to live for a while." The curvature of the corners of Xi Ruoya's mouth was suppressed, and her eyes fell on the flowers in the distance, only to see two figures, one blue and one purple, walking towards this side.

"Thank you princess for her kindness, but unfortunately there is only her brother in the heart of the concubine's mother, and she will never come to accompany her, so the concubine will envy the princess." Lu Ling'er smiled bitterly, paused and bowed down to thank her.

"Get up! You don't have to be sad and wronged, this palace will be your home in the future, as long as you are obedient and well-behaved, the prince and I will treat you well. Xi Ruoya glanced at her pitiful appearance and said lukewarmly.

"The concubine understands that the concubine will serve the prince and princess well!" There is a glimmer of essence in the corners of the eyes that are low-browed.

The two figures, one blue and one purple, got closer and closer, Xi Ruoya made a look, Chunmei immediately took a few steps forward and shouted at the people: "Stop!" Which garden are you from? ”

"The slave maid is the girl Ling Shuang of 'Mao Qingyuan', I have seen Princess Chen, Concubine Lu!" Ling Shuang bowed her head and saluted Xi Ruoya, but saw that the purple-clothed woman beside her was still stunned, so she quickly pulled the corner of her clothes and said softly: "This is Princess Chen, don't salute quickly." ”

Before the woman could react, she heard Chunmei ask her, "Who are you, why are you so unruly?" ”

"She is the tailor of 'Ni Xiang', and she was invited to tailor clothes for Concubine Lin." Ling Shuang gave her a round and anxiously glanced at her.

The woman in purple originally wanted to salute like Ling Shuang, but Chunmei's aggressive appearance made her really angry, and her half-bowed body suddenly straightened up again, revealing a fierce light that shot directly into Chunmei's eyes.

Although it was only for a moment, the murderous aura carried by the flickering cold stars made Chunmei feel as if her neck was blown by a cool breeze.

Xi Ruoya and her entourage just came to the front, and while she looked at the woman in purple, she asked, "The master of 'Ni Shang'?" Concubine Lin wants to make clothes, why doesn't this princess know? ”

The woman in purple in front of her gave her a very strange feeling, looking slightly older than Ling Shuang, her ordinary facial features were not exquisite, but the coldness that couldn't be concealed made it difficult to connect her with the tailor.

Under Ling Shuang's angry eyes and hard pulling, the woman in purple saluted reluctantly.

"Hui Niangniang, this matter is entrusted to Master Ye." Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Xi Ruoya's tone, he had to bow his head under the eaves, and he couldn't wait to rush up and point at her nose and scold: What are you, what does my young lady want, you can take care of it. However, she can only live a dry life in her heart, and now she is not as good as being in "Fenghua Garden", she can do whatever she wants.

"Oh? Master Ye? Xi Ruoya didn't let them get up, but leaned up, squinting her eyes and lingering on them.

Situ Yu ordered that Ye Chao was responsible for all the affairs and needs of "Mao Qingyuan", she didn't know about it, but because of this, she had been wearing a pimple in her heart, with Situ Yu's indifferent temperament, how could she treat this ugly woman so specially, could it be that the rumors were false? With a slight movement in his mind, he instructed Chunmei: "Go and invite Master Ye." ”

"Yes!" Chunmei took the order and glanced at the half-squatting two proudly, looking like she was waiting to take a look.

Xi Ruoya still didn't let the two of them get up, but stroked a begonia casually, and said lightly: "Concubine Lin just married into the palace and has no clothes to wear?" Could it be that the Hou Mansion didn't even prepare clothes for her? ”

When the woman in purple heard this, she looked at Ling Shuang angrily, looking unbearable.

Ling Shuang suppressed the anger in her heart, and while signaling her with her eyes not to act rashly, she replied with a smile: "Niangniang said that she laughed, because Concubine Lin was injured, those ordinary clothes are extremely inconvenient to put on and take off. ”

"The clothes of this 'neon dress' are really good, but it's a pity that only ten orders are received every day, how many big families in Beijing send people to line up before dawn every day, and they may not be able to make one, but I don't want Sister Lin to invite the master to the house so easily, it seems that our prince really loves Sister Lin." Lu Ling'er put on an envious look.

Xi Ruoya's face sank, she glanced at Lu Ling'er coldly, ignored what she said, turned her head to the woman in purple and asked, "Are you really the tailor master of 'Ni Dress'?" ”

The woman in purple didn't react for a while, she still lowered her head and half-squatted and half-knelt, cursing this damn rule and the arrogant woman in front of her in her heart.

Ling Shuang gently touched her with her arm, and then she came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Hui Niangniang, the folk girl is exact." ”

"Really?" Xi Ruoya saw that she looked weird, and she was even more puzzled: "Then you should tell me, what method did Concubine Lin use to invite you here?" ”

"Well, Hui Niangniang, it was the sincerity of this Lingshuang girl who moved my boss, so I let the people's girl come to this trip." Fortunately, I was prepared for various situations.

"Oh? What did Ling Shuang do to move your boss? This princess is very curious, let's hear it. ”

"Hui Niangniang, this Lingshuang girl has been guarding the door of the store a few days ago, in order to move the boss to come to the door to make clothes for Concubine Lin, she didn't eat, drink or sleep for two days, and the boss was deeply moved by her loyalty, so she made an exception to let the people come." Your mother, her legs are squatting and cramping, and you don't let people get up, dead woman, it's best not to fall into the hands of this girl, otherwise you will pay back today's hatred tenfold.

The woman in purple calmly replied to Xi Ruoya's words, but she wanted to kick her away in her heart.

"Concubine Lin is really a blessing, having a loyal and capable girl like you by her side is really the envy of this princess." Xi Ruoya whispered nice words in her mouth, but there was a mocking look in her eyes, seeing that the two of them were squatting for a long time, and her legs were overstrained, and her body trembled slightly, and fine sweat overflowed on her back and forehead, Xi Ruoya felt a lot more comfortable, and then said slowly: "Look, I patronized the questioning, and I forgot that you are still saluting, get up, don't keep squatting." ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Ling Shuang and the others each cursed in their hearts, trying to overcome the soreness and stiffness on their legs, trying to maintain their posture and slowly get up.

As soon as the two of them got up and stood firmly, Chunmei led Ye Chao over.
