Chapter 474: Pursuit
After Li Sui's reprimand, the three little palace maids were more diligent, taking turns to stay by Ye Jinyu's side every day, serving carefully, Ye Jinyu woke up early the next morning, and the headache was relieved a lot, she slowly recalled what was going on, thinking that she and Li Sui still had an unfinished conversation.
The three palace maids no longer dared to follow Ye Jinyu's mood, give her medicine on time, let her eat on time, Ye Jinyu said that she had no appetite, and it was no longer easy to do it at all.
Li Sui had to go to Yanxi Palace to see Ye Jinyu every day after lunch for three consecutive days, temporarily eliminating the cumbersome meeting etiquette.
Ye Jinyu was happy to be quiet, every time Li Sui arrived, the palace maids would immediately stop their errands, walk out of the palace quickly, and close the palace door.
Ye Jinyu had already closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep when he heard Daya bowing to Li Sui, who had just entered the door.
Li Sui would walk to Ye Jinyu's bed and see if her face and expression had improved.
Two people, one standing and the other lying, both could smell each other, but neither wanted to open their mouths to talk to the other.
On the fourth day, hearing that Ye Jinyu could get out of bed and walk around, Li Sui stopped coming, and both of them locked themselves in their own worlds.
lived a life like the sun and the moon, no longer intersecting,
Until the embassy of the Loulan Kingdom was about to arrive in the capital three days before that.
Loulan?
Is that the mysterious ancient kingdom of Loulan?
Ye Jinyu was very excited when he heard that Li Sui had allowed all women of noble rank or above in the harem to attend the dinner to welcome the Loulan delegation this time.
In the last life, my grandfather was a fan of Loulan, and he often saw a lot of information about the ancient country of Loulan on his table, and often gave himself the legend of the ancient country of Loulan.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan, a small country on the ancient Silk Road, is located in the west of Lop Nur, at the hub of the Western Regions, the scope of the kingdom from the vicinity of Guyangguan in the east, to the ancient city of Niya in the west, to the Altun Mountain in the south, and to Hami in the north. It occupies an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road. The ancient kingdom of Loulan was founded before 176 B.C., but suddenly and mysteriously disappeared in 630 A.D., with a history of more than 800 years.
Ye Jinyu pinched his fingers, at this time, it was not far from Loulan becoming a vassal state of the Central Plains.
Could it be that Li Sui conquered the ancient kingdom of Loulan and turned it into a vassal state?
The ruins of this ancient kingdom were discovered by the Swede Sven Heding. Found on his second trip to the Taklamakan A dramatic episode in 1900 led to the discovery of a very important ancient city site.
When Hedin and his party arrived on the north bank of Lop Nur, they came to a place where fresh water seemed to be available, and when they decided to dig a well to get water, they found that the only shovel was missing, and a guide was sent back to find it. Unexpectedly, the wind was fierce on the road, and the wind and sand in the sky made him hungry and unable to move forward.
After the sandstorm, tall mud towers and cascading houses suddenly appeared before his eyes, and an ancient city miraculously revealed its face. The guide reported on the discovery.
Sven Hedin came here at once. When he found a few beautiful wood carvings from the ruins, he was extremely excited and concluded that this was a very important ancient city site.
Hedin later recalled: "How fortunate the shovel was, otherwise I would never have returned to that ancient city and made such an important discovery, which seemed to have a certain number, and brought new light to the ancient history of central Asia!" ”
And this ancient city is the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan that caused a sensation.
If only this story could be told to Li Sui, forget it, it will definitely frighten him.
Because everyone can accompany the emperor to receive distant missions, and there is no open and secret fighting between each other, a happy and peaceful atmosphere suddenly appeared in the harem, and the women of the harem are choosing the right dress for the upcoming dinner, and the intrigue between each other has saved a lot, and the sisters and sisters are busy creating their own favorite headdresses and jewelry,
Ye Jinyu is not in a hurry about this,
On a whim, she thought about the style of the dress she had seen in her previous life, and designed a dress skirt for herself, and she couldn't wear it too casually, after all, she was still a woman of Li Sui, and she couldn't wear it well, and she was sad about the country, and then she threw it to the three little palace maids.
"Now the garment workshop must be overcrowded, we can't line up at all, you can help me do it, I can wear it if I can get out, and if I can't get out, I will wear what we have now."
She casually picked out four pink pearl hairpins, two small pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace of the same color in the jewelry box, and put them all aside.
What she wants to see most now is the people of Loulan Kingdom, and their things,
I used to just listen to my grandfather say how developed their trade was.
How advanced their civilization is, how advanced their technology is, this time there is finally a chance to see the living.
If only I could record a video of my grandfather at the dinner party and send it to him, he would be scareless.
Ye Jinyu thought about it, "giggling...... laughing to himself.
When the three little palace maids saw it, they thought that this master had really forgotten the unpleasant things before, and they had accelerated their work, and they must let the master wear a decent dress at this dinner, and it was best to look the best. LeTV
The three little palace maids were busy, and suddenly someone came to the courtyard of Yanxi Palace, Daya turned around and informed Ye Jinyu, "Nobleman, Concubine Xin is here, Xiaoya and I will go to the inside to catch up with the system, Wang Ying will receive it." ”
After Daya finished speaking, he put away the work in his hand and went back to the room with Xiaoya.
Ye Jinyu stepped forward slowly, she found that Concubine Xin didn't seem to bring her any good luck these times, and this time she didn't know what bad things were going to happen, "Ye Jinyu see Concubine Xin's mother,"
Concubine Xin looked at Ye Jinyu, still smiling, "It's okay today, let's go to my sister's Yanxi Palace to have a look." I don't know what my sister is busy with? ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Yanxi Palace.
It's okay? Really? Don't you have to rush to make a dress? It seems that the women in the harem are busy with these things now.
Hi! It's just a desire to probe me and see my dress.
"Sister Concubine Xin is so idle, don't everyone customize dresses in the garment workshop? Sister Xinfei doesn't do it? ”
Concubine Xin smiled deliberately, "Now that the garment workshop is overcrowded, I have customized a set, I don't know if I can finish it in time." ”
"Sister Concubine Xin is highly respected in this harem, and no one can be late Sister Concubine Xin."
A very proud smile appeared on Concubine Xin's face, "It's just that the knowledge of the garment master in this garment workshop is limited, and this style is really unsatisfactory." ”
Concubine Xin said, raising her eyes and looking at Ye Jinyu, "I don't know what dress my sister plans to wear?" ”
Ye Jinyu said lazily: "I must not be comparable with Sister Xinfei, I will definitely not be ranked in the garment workshop, so I will give up, Sister Xinfei, you also know, I will not be a female popular, so let Wang Ying and them help me sew a set first, if I can't finish sewing, I can only wear this existing one, just try not to lose the royal face." ”
When Concubine Xin heard this, she pouted slightly, and what she said was reasonable, if you go to the garment shop at this time, a little noble like Ye Jinyu will not be ranked in the first place. Now it's hard to even rank the concubine's dress, "So, have you chosen all your sister's jewelry?" ”
Do you have to listen to everything? Okay, satisfy your curiosity,
Ye Jinyu pointed to the pile of pearls he had just picked out on the dresser, "That's it, I didn't have too many of these things, so there was no room for selection." ”
Isn't it? It's the existing ones, or when they first moved over, they were all sent by Li Sui's orders, otherwise, I don't even have these things, and I usually can't think of buying some, and it's really lacking in this aspect.
Concubine Xin looked at the small beads on the table steadily, "Does my sister really plan to bring these things?" Nothing else? ”
"What else? How much more do you need to bring this kind of stuff? It's just some decoration, just to achieve the purpose of decoration, I don't know much about that. That's it. ”
Concubine Xin smiled, her face was clearly a little proud, it seems that this Ye Jinyu can't wear anything good, although this pearl is round, the pink and tender color is very charming, but just wearing these is a bit monotonous after all.
Concubine Xin said something else without a match, and then turned around and said goodbye.
Ye Jinyu sent her to the door, and didn't go any further, it is estimated that this person went to another palace again, Ye Jinyu looked at her back and shook his head, he takes other people's affairs so seriously every day, and he takes winning and losing so seriously, without his own pursuit, even if he is pampered every day in this harem, what can he do? Today you can see tomorrow's life, even if you become a queen, if you only pay attention to these every day, it's really boring.
Wang Ying stepped forward and looked at the direction in which Concubine Xin disappeared, "Nobleman, you shouldn't tell her so much, this Concubine Xin is obviously going to the palaces to spy on her, you should let her not guess, and then, let her be anxious and uneasy." ”
Ye Jinyu smiled, "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal anyway, tell her to let her leave early, and I still have to 'study' my words." ”
The dinner party finally came, the concubines, princesses, and princes arrived one after another, and the Internal Affairs Office specially sent a few palace maids to guide the royal relatives to the table.
The banquet hall of the palace was full of jewels for a while, and the gorgeous palace lamps were on, and the agate gems, gold hairpins and silver bracelets of the concubines and princesses could almost dazzle the eyes of blind people.
Concubine Na Xin Niangniang has already arrived, wearing a newly made peach-colored dress skirt, with a peach-red collar lined middle garment, the two sleeves are the most fashionable wide sleeves at the moment, very exaggerated, the clothes are embroidered with water-green lotus, the workmanship is very exquisite, it looks very gorgeous, plus a full head of rubies, emeralds, tortoiseshells, and phoenix tails and golden hairpins, and heavy makeup on the face, the whole person has become the most eye-catching and shining one in the banquet palace, because the imperial concubine does not want to come over today, Concubine Xin naturally became the chief of the harem ladies, and she sat under the emperor.
She stood proudly as she accepted the salutes of the new guests, and at the same time watched vigilantly the makeup and clothing of each of the ladies, and so far no one had disturbed her good mood for the evening.
There is only one person she is most worried about tonight, that is Xi Concubine, who is good at female popularity, these days, she will go to the Xi Concubine Palace every day, but she just didn't see the style and workmanship of the dress that Xi Concubine is sewing.
She kept searching for the woman among the people who came,
Let's see what kind of clothes she wears.
Xi Concubine is here, this little slut really wore a newly made skirt, which is actually light gouache, and it is also wide-sleeved!
Her workmanship is also very fine, and she is embroidered with a red peony, full of jewels, and she smiles so beautifully, is this occasion to steal her limelight? It's infuriating!
Xi Concubine walked over with a smile on her face, "My sister has seen Concubine Xin, Concubine Xin is really beautiful tonight." It's so glorious. ”
