Chapter 007: Meet the Imperial Garden Again
Mengqing recalled that after the queen was not in good health, these things were handed over to Concubine Xian to take care of, she just rewarded her with sixty boards, and she will send these back at this time, I am afraid that I will do it for the emperor.
"Yimo, you go with you and pass on the will of the palace, and in the future, these trivial matters will disturb the peace of the palace."
Yi Mo was anxious when she heard this: "Queen Mother, this can't be helped, Concubine Xian has been relying on the emperor's favor to press you, and now she is willing to take the initiative to send the account book, it is the time for you to take back your rights." ”
Seeing that the queen mother did not move, Yimo knelt down directly: "Queen mother, please think twice!" ”
The forehead "banged" against the floor, and Meng listened to a pain in her flesh, and quickly helped her up: "I'll be angry if I knock it again." ”
This girl is really loyal, but she is not Queen Meng, and she will not stay in the palace for a long time, so she can't pay attention to these things at all.
"Mother's ......"
"Alright." Dream stroked her scattered hair, but only eighteen-year-old delicate, although the facial features are not considered to be beautiful, but also very smart, if it becomes the master, under the care of brocade and makeup, it is not necessarily lost to those favored women.
"Silly girl, the palace is in better health, if the palace takes care of these, those concubines should swarm to disturb the tranquility of the palace, they are all the emperor's women, out of sight, otherwise just looking at the delicate faces can arouse the jealousy in the heart of the palace, do you want the palace to be angry again?"
Yimo felt even more sorry for Niangniang: "The slave understands that Niangniang is bitter, but she is afraid that one day the emperor will give Niangniang ......"
"Hit the cold palace?" Dream chuckled and flicked her head: "If you don't do it, you won't be wrong, it's so easy to be knocked down." ”
Yimo covered his forehead in pain, still a little puzzled in his heart.
"Okay, go and spread the will of the main palace, remember to be majestic, don't lose the momentum of the main palace."
There was a burst of coolness from the luxurious Dongzhu curtain of Xianyue Palace, and the palace maid inside was fanning a plate of ice cubes to "cool off" Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian was sitting on the dresser, Lingyun's temples were slanted on her head, and the palace maid was wearing hairpins for her.
The wide-sleeved palace dress of the streamer yarn dragged a long phoenix tail on the ground, which was inlaid with heavy peony embroidery, and each petal was edged with silver thread.
It's just that the posture she sits in is really unsightly, half-leaning, with a thick quilt underneath.
The Dongzhu curtain rattled, and Minshu came in from outside: "Niangniang, the maid next to the queen is here." ”
Concubine Xian's phoenix eyes were raised, and her voice carried her usual arrogance: "Call her in." ”
The bead curtain shook again, but what I heard was not the sound of worship.
"The queen has a will, don't disturb the mother of these inner palace trivial matters in the future, if the concubine can't solve it, then the emperor will find another person, if it is in front of the queen again, don't blame the mother for being strict!"
Yi Mo's imposing voice fell, turned around and left, and when Concubine Xian looked at her in surprise, she was left with only a light blue back.
Concubine Xian stared at the account book that was thrown on the ground, and she had nowhere to vent her anger.
Min Shu hurriedly followed her chest, "Niangniang is angry, the emperor will come at night, don't let the queen mother say, she is deliberately giving you a look, so that you can offend the emperor, and she can be happy." ”
Concubine Xian casually smashed a fat powder box.
"What are you doing? It's not time to clean it up. Min Shu commanded the palace maid on the side, and hurriedly persuaded again: "Niangniang, this is a good thing, are you just testing her, now she will send you back on the errand herself, isn't you the one who has the final say in this harem?" ”
The emperor is diligent and fair, except for the queen, he doesn't go much in this harem, and the other concubines are all recuperated in the palace every other day, impartial, and only their concubines can get a few more days of grace.
As long as the queen doesn't get in the way, the position will be the mother's sooner or later.
Concubine Xian listened, and her anger disappeared by three points, "But all the good plans of the palace have been destroyed by her!" ”
"The emperor came up at night, you made the emperor happy, by the way, the emperor will only blame the queen for not knowing what to do, you can still get the right to be in charge, why not kill two birds with one stone?"
Concubine Xian's eyes brightened, and the unhappiness instantly retreated, and she picked out a bracelet from the box, "This palace rewards you." ”
"Xie Niangniang."
Yimo rushed back to Luanfeng Palace in one breath, stepped through the door of the dormitory, and his legs were weak, and he suddenly fell to the ground and gasped: "Scared...... Scared the slave to death. ”
Dream smiled softly: "Look at your little guts. ”
"It's not!" Yimo didn't care about getting ready, his throat was so dry that he couldn't say anything.
Mengqing poured her a cup of tea and handed it over: "Moisten your throat and talk about it." ”
"Xie Niangniang." It's too dry, drink it first.
Yi Mo performed the words in the Xianyue Palace directly to the queen's mother, which made Meng chuckle.
"Mother, slave...... Has the slave disgraced you again? ”
"How can it be, in the future, it will be more powerful than this, if you are inferior, it will be a disgrace to the palace! Later, I will go and get ten taels of silver. ”
Yimo was encouraged, and immediately hit the chicken blood, and a pair of big eyes were shining, "The slave obeys!" The slave and the maid thank the mother for the reward. ”
Concubine Xian and the others really didn't come to trouble again, and the quiet in Luanfeng Palace could hear mosquitoes flying.
Mengqing sat alone at the dining table, holding the steak she had made in her hand for a while, and her eyes looked up to the beams of the room.
She still made the steak for two, and the little one hadn't been here for three days, and they all said that habit was a terrible thing, and it seemed that she was right.
Meng shook his head lightly and laughed at himself, in this deep palace, do you still expect to have someone to confide in?
She ate a few bites hastily, changed into Yimo's clothes again, and went to the imperial garden.
The last kiln was unsuccessful, and the bottom trough mud that Allure gave her was very precious, and she didn't want to waste it, so she planned to use the red mud to test it before moving the bottom trough clean.
At the bottom of the rockery was the red mud she had picked for the least confused, so she went to the last location.
Gonggong Pan bowed his body and followed behind Xiao Yiheng with a whisk in his hand, and reminded him thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has urged the slave several times and wants you to come over." ”
Xiao Yiheng changed into a dark red round-necked regular clothes, only black brocade boots on his feet, his hair was clean and tied up, and there was no emperor's "logo" on his body, but like the son of a rich and noble family.
He walked leisurely on the stone path of the Imperial Garden, and he didn't know what drove him, and it was the direction of the rockery.
Gonggong Pan secretly glanced at the emperor's face, although it was cold, it was not cold, he must be in a good mood, and continued to report: "Concubine Hui said that the little princess made a lot of trouble a few days ago, and she wanted the emperor to go up and take a look." ”
Xiao Yiheng paused, Pan's father-in-law was so frightened that his heart tightened, and he intuitively felt that his head was about to move, and he blamed himself for being too talkative.
"You stand here, I'll go ahead."
Xiao Yiheng's words fell, and his idle footsteps were a little impatient, thinking of the figure of that day, the corners of his frozen lips seemed to unfold.
Pan's father-in-law wanted to follow, but he didn't have the courage.
Dream dug a deep piece with a shovel to see the quality of the soil, apparently the sand on top had been artificially poured here to pave the color of the Imperial Garden.
The red flowers are slightly red soil, and the white flowers are shallow under the soil, most of the stems and leaves do not bloom, and the following is naturally a dark soil.
Dream grabbed a handful of soil and gently held it in her hand, wanting to ask Yimo to take some water to try, but when she looked up and saw that it was empty, she remembered that she had told Yimo to do something.
"You've taken care of all the flowers in the Imperial Garden."
Coldly hearing a sound startled her, she raised her face sideways to look, and could only see a tall figure, tall as a pine, but unfortunately the noon sun shone down from the top of his head, except for the outline of a man, he couldn't see his face at all.
Meng lowered her head lightly and continued to dig, she is the queen, she is the biggest in the harem, even if the emperor comes, she can't do anything with her.
Xiao Yiheng's brows furrowed and then let go, this woman was so familiar that she couldn't remember it for a while.
But looking at her serious and busy appearance, for some reason the mood was a little happy, and the headache of being troubled by the courtiers' harem for days disappeared.
Xiao Yiheng sat down on a protruding rockery, her eyes lingering on her stray cheeks.
The full forehead was baked by the scorching sun, and even the tip of the upturned nose was on it, and the fair skin was slightly reddened.
For Xiao Yiheng, women are just dispensable accessories, but when he saw them today, he was reminded of a sentence, the woman who works is the most beautiful, not arrogant, not flattering.
"Are you alone in the garden?" Two eunuchs were also seen yesterday.
How could Mengqing not see that he intended to talk, but she lost her identity as a queen in this dress, and after thinking about it, she said "um".
A low laugh overflowed from his throat, and his dignified ninety-five dignity was actually disliked by a palace maid.
He was willing to sit down with his, and Yume's attention returned to the sand.
His gaze moved to her hand with her rough tied streamer, and her white and slender fingers grabbed a handful of deep, damp dirt again, and gently twisted it in the palm of her hand.
"Is there a difference?"
Mengqing, who was too focused, forgot his identity at the moment for a while, as if he was talking to his own employees, and opening his mouth was an identification of the soil quality.
"Although it can't be compared to purple sand mud, it can also be made into high-quality pottery, such as utensils, ornaments, and even musical instruments."
After Meng finished speaking, he lifted another empty basket and dug up some deep clay to fill it in.
Xiao Yiheng pointed to the other one and asked, "What kind of mud did you say last time?" ”
"Red mud is also a kind of purple sand mud, but unfortunately the kiln failed last time." Falling strands of hair fluttered back and forth with her movements, obscuring her face.
Xiao Yiheng couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to pull away the strands of hair that was in the way.
Mengqing sensitively noticed his approach, she directly lifted the two baskets and got up, and after leaving him a back, her voice sank: "Your Excellency should understand, even the palace maid is the emperor's person, please respect yourself." ”
Xiao Yiheng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and was very satisfied with her words, but what he said was: "I asked the emperor for it." ”
Mengqing's hand tightened, and he sneered in his heart: "I'm afraid that Your Excellency won't be able to afford it." "Leave quickly.
Xiao Yiheng looked at the slender figure carrying two baskets of soil and walked away with a little difficulty, and called behind him: "Pan Rongxi!" ”
Father-in-law Pan's lean body shook off his head and walked around from behind the rockery: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”
"Go and find out what the name of the maid who works in the imperial garden." His gaze lingered on the place where the figure had disappeared.
"The minions obey."
