Good Day (1)
Before dawn, Chiyo woke up in a rapid squeak, when he opened his eyes, the person next to the pillow had long since disappeared, according to the rules of the time, there was a time limit for men to spend the night in the concubine room, if it was overtime, the concubine room would be punished by the wife's room, her dowry maid Yi Ze was waiting by the side, she gathered the bright and festive quilt made of good red silk, and sat on the bed. Yi Ze said in an orderly manner, "Gege, the prince is early, seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I didn't wake you up, the prince ordered, let Gege get up early and go to Fujin's house to say goodbye first, and go to the palace with Fujin to ask for peace." And she seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, confused, but fortunately, she was worried about it, nodded, and said, "Well, I'm going to get up, let's make up!"
Yi Ze also asked the other two maids to bring hot water, the steaming heat is very dense, the face is surrounded by a drop of water without leaking Chiyo, the hot water is soaked in angelica, poria, roses, and a few huge pearls, the smell is strong, nourishing the extreme. Hands stretched into it, intuition warm, picked up the wet towel and gently brushed his face like a spring breeze to caress his sideburns, and went away, like a weak willow supporting his waist.
Look at the other side, the small brush is delicate and ingenious, the edge of the brush is made of the best horsetail, the second circle is the blue peacock feather, the innermost layer is the short line caused by the kneading of cotton and silk, rigid and soft, this can serve the royal children, so it is already a kind of luxury, but far less than the brush handle made of agarwood, the middle of which is hollowed, such as Xu precious spices hidden in it, soaked in warm water, fragrant and refreshing.
This brush is meant to be brushed with tooth powder, and this tooth powder is a good object. Lotus, lotus seeds, rice grass, orchid ears, magnolia and other things boiled water is concentrated and added to the dew of the lotus pond in the Old Summer Palace to make fragrant dew, leaving the slag, the slag is burned into white ash with a simmer, and pearl powder, cold water stone powder and borax powder are added to the white ash. When using, first use a brush dipped in tooth powder, gently brush on the teeth, rinse your mouth with white rice vinegar, and then rinse it several times with perfume until your lips and teeth are fragrant.
Chiyo stretched her waist, relaxed, and put on her underwear before she lazily walked towards the dresser.
Yi Ze is like tying up the girl's head in the past, but he made the braid into a swallowtail.
Chiyo looked at himself in the mirror, and hurriedly stopped, "Yize, you can't comb your hair in a bun, such a show, is it to attract bees and butterflies, it will be gossip, now I am not only Niu Hulu's family, but also the side Fujin of Aixinjue Luo's family, I have to pay attention to all aspects, so as not to fall into people's words." When Yi Ze heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, but would such rules and regulations make people suffocated. Looking at this time again, Fang Jue was satisfied and showed joy. Rice flour, pearl powder, rouge, peach blossom pollen, rose dew, and the most suitable hairpin was picked out.
"It's good to be plain" so she put on a string of pearls, brought a butterfly made of white jade, and decorated with pale yellow chrysanthemums, she wore an apricot white and yellow flag coat, which was embroidered with her favorite orchid, which grew ice crystal-like yellow flowers, and only went out after packing up, looking up at the little stars, thinking that there was also a mottled moon shadow.
There was a knock on the door outside the door, and the maidservant Ruan Yu came to report, saying that Fang Fujin had come to ask for peace. The woman tidied up, sat down in the main hall, and motioned for her to invite someone in.
"Please Fukujinan," Chiyo knelt down and curtsied before he could raise his head and say a word.
Suo Yu said, "Get up quickly!" Keep your head up! Let me take a closer look. Chiyo raised his head, his eyebrows were like gathering, his eyes were like autumn water, and he was dotted with fair and red skin, not like his face was like peach blossoms. Suo Yu looked at it and was full of praise, "It's really so Peugeot!" Chiyo clearly saw Suo Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly when he looked at it, but it disappeared with a thunderbolt that didn't reach his eyes and ears, leaving no trace.
Fang turned around and said, "Look at me, I patronized it, but I forgot to let you get up, get up quickly!" Ruan Yu, sit down. Chiyo hurriedly got up and thanked Fujin. Suo Yu said again, "Chiyo, now it is the side of the palace, there are many people in the palace, there are Liu Jia's family, Shen Jia's family, everyone must get along in harmony." Chiyo nodded. He also instructed, "Ruan Yu, hurry up and prepare tea, and wait for my sisters to have a chat." ”
"The concubine heard early on that Fu Jin is the assistant of the prince, and she has been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and her love remains the same." Chiyo also looked at this Fujin, dressed plainly and unpretentiously, but the noble and elegant atmosphere was like a gossamer penetrating deeply, although he didn't say a word, but his eyes were full of stories, and the wind and frost on his face were already dignified, thinking about a few points, commensurate with his sisters, it was better to respect Fujin, but it was also a little respectful, a little more harmonious.
Suo Yu took a few sips of tea, the wind was light, and he smiled slightly, "I was born in the same year as the prince, it is indeed the love of childhood sweethearts, forty-one years, the emperor personally gave the two of us to get married, and even today, all the way to love and know each other, respect and cherish each other." ”
Chiyo said, "Fujin and the prince are deeply in love, and the concubine really admires your spiritual spirits, and for more than ten years, you have been unswerving." The concubine likes to be quiet, and she also hopes to live peacefully in the palace, serving the prince and Fujin, and asking Fujin to train more in the future, so as not to fall into the square inch and lose face. ”
"In the future, they will be a family, they will be the life and death honor of the palace, you are the side blessing given by the emperor, and you were born in the Hulu clan with the yellow flag, you can come to the palace, you will definitely be able to do your best for the prince."
The palace asked for peace in this way, first the side of the Fu Jin to the Fu Jin to ask for peace, and then the Gege concubines to Fu Jin, the side of the Fu Jin to ask for peace, the time is a little wrong, under the leadership of Fu Jin, a group of people went to the palace to ask the emperor's concubines above the third grade.
Chiyo thought about the people he was going to see in a while, in terms of age, since they were older, they were still older in terms of qualifications, but my fourteen-year-old little girl easily became a side Fujin, they would not complain if they were difficult to read, after all, they had been in the palace for so many years, and they had no name and no share, so they naturally did not live well, and they were gossiped. Therefore, Chiyo is unwilling to say a word, nor is he willing to take one more step, a smile, every word and deed are carefully considered, so as not to make people look down, after all, it is also the eunuch clan Niu Hulu clan.
"Please side Fujin, Fujinan." If you don't hear them, you hear them first. Chiyo saw the woman who spoke before she fell to her knees. Seeing that she is wearing an emerald purple gauze tent and a blue embroidered jacket, with a cluster of dogwoods on her head, her eyebrows and eyes are clear, and her wheezing is slight, she is also the ultimate beauty, but the green silk is no longer bare blades, but she also has a charitable face, which is Liu Jia's inkstone. Fang Cai Chiyo listened carefully, presumably Fu Jin also listened carefully, she first asked Fu Jin for peace, and then for Fu Jin. If it is because I am a newcomer, I will say hello first, and I will think about the benefits, if I have bad intentions, it will be the relationship between me and Fujin, and I will be isolated, this is an evil idea, thinking about the hardships in the palace, I will have to pay attention to her.
"Hurry up, my sister entered the palace earlier than me, and she is the old man of the palace." Fu Jin stretched out his hand to show a dignified atmosphere, a kind face, and Chiyo also smiled and nodded frequently. After Shen Jia's invitation and the two of them were given seats, Fu Jin turned his head again, "These are the two of them." "Mother often said that even if it is a side blessing, when you are in the palace, you should also respect those women who entered the palace earlier, after all, people are humble, and they will not be disgusted. Chiyo got up, "Chiyo how can he be virtuous, overriding the power and blessing, and disturbing the sisters!" I hope you will give me a lot of advice in the future!" Liu Jiashi greeted Chiyo with a smile, her smile was so close and comfortable, and she gradually let go of the vigilance in her heart.
"Chiyo, when we meet for the first time, I don't know what to give you. I heard that you like orchids very much, I also like flowers and plants, there is just a pot of plain crown lotus ding, this flower fragrance is far clear, there is a good sleep, I am going to give it to you. Fu Jin ordered Ruan Yu to take the flower, it was the early autumn of August, the flower was blooming, a trace of sweet fragrance quietly filled the whole nose, refreshing people's hearts, and the holy products in the flowers really had different repercussions. Chiyo loved it very much, and he was busy accepting it. Mianning was hiding behind the screen, and he had to be sent to the palace to study if he didn't know the sky, but Prince Jia ordered Mianning to enter the palace after seeing the side Fujin.
Mianning walked out, saw Fujin, and asked Chiyo to say goodbye, Chiyo recognized him at a glance, smiled at him, he also smiled, only the two of them knew the secret, everyone took a carriage into the palace, to the palace, saw Concubine Ying Balin, Concubine Chun Wang, shh
"Sister Chiyo, I don't want to go to school, or let's skip class!" Mianning took Chiyo's hand and said, only nine years old, he was full of childishness, they agreed that when there was someone, Mianning would call her aunt, and when no one was around, she would call her sister, Chiyo thought that if she married into the palace, she would be subject to all kinds of fetters in the future, and spend it in loneliness and loneliness, but she didn't expect that there was this little glutinous rice dumpling like a grinding and sticky guy in the palace.
Chiyo squatted down, supported her chin with her hand, widened her eyes, and pouted, "Where to escape?" I won't tell you my sister, what I'm best at is skipping class, or I'll take you to Jingshan to play. Yi Ze smiled, but he didn't expect it to be quite interesting. Jingshan looks from afar, withered yellow and red, under the light of the sun, the three of them cross the Shenwu Gate all the way, step on the mud and dewdrops, go straight to the top of Jingshan, look down from the top of the mountain, the whole Forbidden City is resplendent and brilliant, looming in the floating fog, because the sun shines on the Ye Ye shining, the style is safe.
"Look, this is our Forbidden City! Beautiful, right?" Chiyo picked up Mianning and looked into the distance.
Looking at the grass and trees along Jingshan, countless golden splendor, until noon, ordered someone to carry a sedan chair and returned to the palace.
In the palace, the prince is in charge of affairs every day, and he can't take care of his leisure during the day, so he can see a few faces at night. Every day, in the palace, it is nothing more than writing, reciting poems, embroidering needlework, and if you are in the vassal, you are playing the flute and playing the piano. She received a letter from her mother's family, saying that she was old and decrepit, her grace was no longer there, and she had married several aunts in the family, and the times were becoming more and more difficult, and her father had changed his temperament dramatically due to the pressure of survival and the exclusion of officialdom, and he didn't want to believe it, but this is the case, what years were those years.
Sometimes in my dreams, I will recall the scene of riding a horse with my father when I was a child, writing, and reuniting with my family, and I often think about tears left, but everything is gone after all.
