Chapter 355: Magnolia Blossoms
"Yuan Guifei said with a smile, the palace people in the palace of the concubines have all run to you, aren't you still manpowered? Xie Fuyao stopped and said with a smile.
"But this palace just wants to use you to pick it yourself, why, Concubine Ying is unwilling. Hua Ran looked at Xie Fuyao proudly.
"Concubine Yuan said so, and the concubine was naturally willing to serve. ”
"Xiao Luzi, it's up to you to keep an eye on Concubine Ying, when to fill the ten baskets, and when to leave. ”
"Concubine Niangniang, ten baskets are inevitably too many, if it is an ordinary bath, one basket is enough, if it is too much, I am afraid that there is no place to put it. ”
Ziyu knew that Concubine Yuan was deliberately embarrassing Xie Fuyao, so she considered her words and retorted in a low voice.
"I don't know anything, do you think that the bathing in this palace is the same as Concubine Ying. Hua Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered.
"Our master is bathing in Huaqing Pond, this is a unique reward of the emperor, ten baskets of petals are already cheap Concubine Ying, if it is usually our master to use more. Siqin scoffed.
"In this case, the concubine has to thank Yuan Guifei for her compassion. Xie Fu shook his red lips and closed them, silently relieving Ziyu of the siege.
"Xiao Luzi, take a good look at her, if you are lazy, remember to come and tell this palace. Hua Ran left this sentence and Shi Shiran left.
"Mother, please. Xiao Luzi took the lead in the front, and magnolia flowers are only available on the edge of Chunyue Lake not far from Renshou Palace.
"Master, why did you promise Concubine Yuan, she is clearly embarrassed by you, even if you don't go, she can't do anything to you. The two walked behind, and Ziyu said in a low voice.
Hua Ran will never give up until he achieves his goal, if this matter does not satisfy him, she may find out what reason. Xie Fuyao smiled lightly.
"It's better to just do what she wants, it's just picking flowers, and there's nothing tiring about it, just take a walk. ”
The water in the Spring Moon Lake is as blue as the sky, the trickle is like a pearl, and the sound is like jade.
There are a few dead trees in the water, and the soft algae clinging to them, and the surface of the water shimmers golden in the sunlight, reflecting the magnolia flowers around it.
"It's a pity to pick such a beautiful magnolia flower. Xie Fuyao looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Niangniang, you have fallen into this situation now, and there is still time to be sad here, according to the slave, you should finish picking the flowers quickly, and you can give the concubine an errand. Xiao Luzi smashed his mouth and reminded.
"Xiao Luzi, no matter what, when you were in Mingcui Palace before, Niangniang treated you well, even if you go to Changxu Palace now, you shouldn't talk to Niangniang like this. Ziyu said with a serious face.
"Although the minion's words are not good, they are really for the good of Concubine Ying, and if Niangniang doesn't move quickly, it will be dark. Xiao Luzi pursed his lips.
"Okay, Ziyu, he can't help himself, if he wants to climb rich, how can it be so easy. ”
Xie Fuyao smiled knowingly, she knew that Hua Ran was doing this to embarrass herself, but Xie Fuyao didn't care about this.
She took a basket and walked among the magnolia flowers, picking them one by one.
Although this work is not tiring, it is also extremely laborious, and the root of the flower must not be injured when picking, otherwise it will not bloom the next year.
Jin Wuxi sank, and gradually converged the light, Xie Fu shook his head and looked at the basket, and there were five more empty.
"Mother, or the slave will help you. Xiao Luzi, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.
"No need, if Concubine Yuan knows, I'm afraid your life in Changxu Palace will be difficult. Xie Fu straightened up and soothed the discomfort in his lower back.
Looking at this empty magnolia bush, Xie Fuyao felt a little pity, the brilliant scene that had only been there for a few days was now being taken to bathe.
"Who let you pick these flowers!" the Queen Mother remembered from behind her as she sank into Hong Zhong's voice.
Xie Fuyao turned his head and saw the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu standing in the distance.
The Queen Mother originally responded to Concubine Shu's request to go to Chunyue Lake for a walk and relax.
Who knows, as soon as he arrived here, he saw Xie Fuyao ruining this magnolia flower field.
"The concubine asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye. ”
Xie Fuyao didn't expect the Queen Mother to suddenly appear here, and she seemed to care a lot about this flower field.
"Concubine Ying, what's going on!" The Queen Mother looked at the five baskets of magnolia flowers on the ground, her eyes full of heartache.
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, it was Concubine Yuan who ordered her concubines to pick these magnolia flowers, saying that they were for her bathing. Xie Fu lowered his eyes and replied truthfully.
"Are you confused when you are a mourner, when will you be so obedient, you will do whatever the concubine asks you to do. The Queen Mother said coldly.
"The queen mother is angry, and everything the concubine said is the truth. Xie Fuyao hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, since my sister has said so, it is better to call Yuan Guifei to ask for clarification. Concubine Shu helped the Queen Mother and helped her smooth out.
Originally, Xie Fuyao was still puzzled by the sudden appearance of the Queen Mother, but when he saw Zhu'er, everything could be explained.
"Jade, go and call Concubine Yuan to Renshou Palace. The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Xie Fuyao and said coldly, "You come with you too." ”
The Queen Mother planned to hold a spring flower viewing banquet in the palace in a few days, this magnolia is a variety that she has carefully cultivated, but she didn't expect it to be made like this by Xie Fuyao.
In Renshou Palace, the Queen Mother sat on the main seat, Concubine Shu stood next to the Queen Mother and pinched her shoulders, Xie Fuyao knelt in front of the hall, and Concubine Yuan was rushing over from outside.
"The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye, I don't know why the queen mother came to find the concubine so late. Yuan Guifei knelt down respectfully.
"Concubine Ying said that you asked her to go to the Spring Moon Lake to pick magnolia flowers, but it's true. ”
After sitting quietly for a while, the Queen Mother's anger also disappeared for a while, she raised her head and began to re-examine the two people kneeling on the ground.
"Queen Mother, where do you start with this, the concubine did see Concubine Ying today, and talked to her about bathing with magnolia petals. Hua Ran lowered her eyes and said guiltily.
"But the concubine never let Concubine Ying go to the shore of Chunyue Lake to pick magnolia flowers, and she picked so much, the concubine looked distressed. ”
Hearing this, Xie Fuyao suddenly realized that he had been tricked, and it didn't matter if the flowers were picked or not, the important thing was that the Queen Mother was here.
However, this plan was not something Hua Ran could think of, it should be Shu Concubine's idea.
"Yuan Guifei Niangniang, you have to speak with your conscience, we have Xiao Luzi as proof, we can prove that you have to ask our master to go, and you also said that you have to pick up enough baskets to bathe. ”
Ziyu, who was kneeling behind Xie Fuyao, opened her mouth to argue, she couldn't let her master suffer this kind of grievance in vain.
