After a turmoil, King Rui's Mansion fell silent like early winter.

The princess said that she was sick, and everyone stayed in the house, that is, three or five people who were usually good friends got together to talk, talk about family life, and talk about the shortcomings of the east and west families.

When they dispersed, they went back and lived a lonely life.

Contrary to the coldness of others, the ever-bright lanterns outside the Guan Ju Pavilion are lit day by day.

There is an unwritten rule in the Rui Palace, where the prince spends the night, he will light an ever-bright lamp at the door, which is also a symbol of grace.

No one can count, since Jiao Niang entered the palace, how many nights she has occupied the prince, and I don't know how many nights she will occupy in the future.

The fiery red lantern is like a flame of jealousy in everyone's heart, burning themselves and their resentment towards Jiao Niang.

Some people are addicted to it, curse a few words behind closed doors, and some people really think that the art of disgust is useful, and they also sew puppets in the house, write the eight characters of the birthday, and pierce the golden needle.

But this kind of thing has always been deceitful, and if it really works, will we still use swords and soldiers to meet each other in this world?

There are also people who secretly come to tell Jiao Niang, who is in the house with a villain to curse her, Jiao Niang smiled after hearing it, let her go, don't you give people a little sustenance?

On this day, when there was nothing to do, Mrs. Zhou came to Guan Ju Pavilion to talk, and a few girls in Qiushuang folded a lot of flowers outside, and a group of girls gathered in the yard to weave flower baskets.

A group of girls, like the first flowers, blooming with the breath of youth, fresh, natural, and vibrant, laughing and jumping, just looking at it from afar, I also feel beautiful.

Jiao Niang glanced out from time to time, watching them make trouble together, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Mrs. Zhou held a amphora pink porcelain vase in her hand, and took the flower branch handed over by Jiao Niang, "I heard that the prince wants to force the princess to hand over the power of the family?"

Jiao Niang held the scissors to cut off the extra horizontal branches on the flower branches, and inserted them into the bottle, "Who did my sister listen to? ”

"That's the people who are lazy to chew their tongues, you also know them, they also say things with shadows, and they also say things without shadows, I really think it's ......" Mrs. Zhou put the flower branch into the vase, turned her head sideways, and her smooth face line was facing Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang curled the corners of her mouth, "Sister really thinks that the princess is going to abolish the princess?" she picked up an irise, took it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, "In the end, the prince still has to take care of the Wei Chi family, and it is Granny Sun who does evil, and the princess has not made a mistake." ”

The corners of Mrs. Zhou's mouth crossed a sneer, "Yes, the princess is innocent." It was as if she didn't believe it herself, and she didn't think it was funny.

Jiao Niang raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou, I heard that she was also pregnant in her early years, and then she suddenly had a miscarriage for some reason, what was the specific reason, because it was too long, she never mentioned this sad thing to others, and gradually, she forgot about it.

Jiao Niang didn't want her to be sad when she remembered the past, so she quickly changed the topic, pointed to the two newly sent peonies under the porch outside, and said, "Sister is well-informed, how about looking at my two pots of peonies?"

Mrs. Zhou turned her head to look at it, and said to Jiao Niang: "You still need me to see, how can there be anything bad about the things sent by the prince? These two pots are Luoyang Wei Zi, both of which are the best in flowers." ”

She smiled lowly, "Speaking of which, the prince is really domineering, I heard that these two pots of flowers were originally sent to the queen's palace by the palace gardener, and they happened to be seen by our prince, so they had to leave." ”

Jiao Niang really didn't know about this, or when Ying Che came yesterday, he was fearlessly hugging, a big man, holding two pots of flowers, that look very funny.

Jiao Niang couldn't help but laugh and murmured, "This prince." ”

Mrs. Zhou said, "I heard about this incident, and the queen was also reprimanded by the saint. ”

Jiao Niang looked up to the sky and sighed, "It seems that this time I really offended all the Wei Chi family." ”

"I can't blame you, this time you are the victim. Mrs. Zhou rarely has such a look of shame, "It was his Wei Chi family who did evil himself." ”

Jiao Niang took a lily and shook it wildly, and broken petals flew past her cheeks, "Forget it, don't mention it." He smiled again: "If my sister looks good at these two pots of flowers, she just takes them back and raises them." ”

Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "The prince's heart, how dare I ask for it?" She slowly lowered her face, her slender eyebrows into the sideburns were like a hook of the crescent moon, "Besides, although the peony is good, it is too graceful and luxurious, like a flaming flamboyance, I have never liked it very much, but it is a lotus flower, quiet and elegant, I love it alone." ”

"Lotus?" Jiao Niang looked at the pattern on her clothes, a pink lotus flower on the wrap skirt opened from the chest to the skirt, and even the cuffs were embroidered small lotus flowers, Jiao Niang recalled for a while, only to remember that it seemed that the clothes she usually wore were with lotus patterns, she had neglected this before, "This is not easy to do, isn't there a lotus pond behind our palace?" ”

Her bright eyes seemed to be filled with stars in the sky, smart and clear, "By the way, my sister has heard that there is a place on the outskirts of the city, called the place of ten miles of lotus, I heard that the lotus flowers there bloom very well, because the lotus pond spreads for ten miles, so it is named, and it is said that even the lotus flowers in the palace are transplanted from there." There are even some literati who gather there, write paintings and poems, and it would be nice to see the beauty with their own eyes. ”

Mrs. Zhou immediately said: "What is the best place to say that the lotus scenery is the Rongwang Mansion of the Five Princes." Her gaze slowly lengthened, and her voice was as soft as water ripples, "Between the blue water, the lotus floats, white as a jade bowl, red as a cloud, the sparkling water shadow swaying, the dew on the flower is as bright as a splendor, the wind is gentle, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers in the pond pours into the nose, which is called incense." ”

She said so vividly that even Jiao Niang couldn't help but yearn for it, "It would be nice if I could go to King Rong's Mansion in person, I really want to see if it is as beautiful as my sister said." ”

Then he looked at Mrs. Zhou and said, "By the way, how does my sister know, has my sister seen it?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and brushed a strand of broken hair from her sideburns, "How can I be lucky enough to see it, I have heard it all from others." ”

Jiao Niang sighed, "Just listening to people feel that it is picturesque, if you see it with your own eyes, I don't know what a beautiful scene it will be." ”

Mrs. Zhou smiled and knocked her nose with the flower, "Our prince and King Rong are brothers, and you are a side concubine, are you afraid that there will be no contact in the future?" Besides, every June, Princess Rong will hold a lotus banquet, and you will not be able to watch it at that time." ”

Jiao Niang ducked back, touched the tip of her nose, and smiled, "I will definitely take my sister with me then." ”
