At the beginning of the day, the warm winter sun gently and lightly spreads in front of the white jade hall, reflecting the Suzaku Gate in front of the hall.

At the main entrance, Leng Changxi was holding the reins tightly, and heard the cry of his daughter's family behind him, his face was expressionless, and he just wanted to leave quickly, but he heard this daughter's family sobbing and cursing, "It's all the Qin family's daughter, if she hadn't obstructed it, I would have changed the flower sac, and I wouldn't offend Yun Guifei, Mother Liu, how good do you say, I offended Yun Guifei, what if she was angry with her father, father...... My father will definitely beat me to death. ”

"Second girl, don't cry, it's too late for the master to hurt you, where are you willing to beat you?" A woman comforted.

"Mother Liu, you don't understand, Concubine Yun likes to calculate the most, and she will repay her, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that this time I will cause my father to lose his official position......." Before the words were finished, there was another choking of warblers and swallows.

Seeing that the old and the young got into the carriage, Leng Changxi on horseback asked with a deep eyebrow, "Which young lady is she?" ”

The person below replied, "It's General Shang's daughter." ”

Shang Xianhua? Leng Changxi's fingertips gently knocked twice along the mask, revealing a depth in his eyes.

"But you want to take this General Shang away?" A man with thick eyebrows asked in a low voice, "But my subordinates heard that this is still a general who has been fighting horses for 20 years, but he is still a five-grade general Huaiyuan, every time he returns from a battle, he either holds a banquet at home, or goes out to have fun, and the day before yesterday I heard the spy report, saying that Shang Xianhua spent 10,000 gold and bought a sweaty BMW, but he was only kept in the stable, never ridden, only for viewing." ”

"Xue Si, your words are a bit too much," Leng Changxi's words were very short, but there was a full shock, the orange sunlight happened to fall on his abrupt neck of the Adam's apple, Leng Changxi's knuckles curled up a little to the tip of his nose, and asked, "Zizhan's ashes can be brought back?" ”

"It's already in Jianzhou," Xue Si replied, "It is estimated that this will be the time to enter the Su family ancestral hall." ”

At the banquet, the cool breeze rose slightly.

Qin Yunuan stood in the center of the banquet, wearing a turquoise moon dress that made her refreshing and bright, with various silk threads and flower needles of different sizes at hand, Qin Yunuan's eyes were already bound by white silk, but she couldn't stop Qin Yunuan's keen sense of smell.

In the air, there seemed to be a wisp of breath just now, with the smell of men's sweat and the fresh smell of grass, which could not be dispersed in the air. This is not like the delicate incense on Sima Rui's body, this smell is rough and cold, charming and cold.

"Miss Qin San, let's start." Empress Chen said with a smile.

Qin Yunuan Hao's wrist was attached to the embroidery frame, and the embroidery needle was pinched in his right hand, the needle was picked, the incense burned half of it, and half of the spring flowers had bloomed on the white silk silk, which was delicate and yellow and tender, and the flower branches were half drooping, which was pitiful.

Qin Yunxiang looked at Qin Yunuan's embroidery so smoothly, his face was obviously unhappy, but Fang Ziying on the side couldn't stop admiring.

"I really don't know, Sister Yu Nuan has such a ability, tsk, blindfolded embroidery, replaced by me, I can't practice it for three years."

After another half of the incense time, the pattern was embroidered, Qin Yunuan tore off the white silk with one hand, and the palace people moved the embroidery frame to Queen Chen, so that Queen Chen could see it carefully.

On the embroidered cloth on a white background, a yellow and tender spring flower hangs on the green vines, full of infinite vitality, which is just the right time.

"That's right," Empress Chen's face relaxed, "It seems that the Qin family's housewife has trained the girls' female celebrities very well." This is a disguised compliment to Qin Yun's makeup.

"Sister Queen is really generous to these juniors," Concubine Yun just glanced at it, and said softly with disdain, "The last place where the needles are collected are embroidered with several wrong stitches, and the place where the flowers and branches are handed over is also full of mistakes and omissions, alas, this is also the queen's sister, if there is such an embroidery in the sister's palace, my sister will be faceless." ”

"I can't say that," Empress Chen stroked a few unevenness on the embroidery, "After all, Miss Qin San is still young, not to mention, this blindfold embroidery is also quite difficult, this palace is originally set up to test these girls, such a result is already good." ”

"Really?" Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows at Qin Yunuan, who was respectfully waiting at the bottom of the stairs, "Sister Queen is kind, but this Third Miss Qin is excessive, this craftsmanship is not refined and it is not explained in advance, people who don't know still think how strict Sister Queen is, or, are you deliberately offering a crooked embroidery to add to the Queen Sister?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Yunxiang, who was still a little unwilling, immediately regained her spirits, she raised her neck with a strong expectation in her eyes.

"The courtiers don't dare," Qin Yunuan's eyes contained humility, "The courtiers are just ......." ”

Just when Qin Yunuan was stunned, the fat grandmother on Queen Chen's side aimed at Qin Yunuan's fingers hidden in the sleeve cage at a glance, and said something in the queen's ear, Empress Chen frowned slightly, beckoned to Qin Yunuan and said, "You come forward." ”

Qin Yunuan stepped forward obediently.

"Stretch your hand out."

Qin Yunuan also did the same.

Looking at Qin Yunuan's two little hands, the corners of Empress Chen's mouth dried, but it was Sima Rui who asked first, "Why did Miss Qin's hands become like this?" How do you ...... on this knuckle? Is this a day freezer? ”

"Third Highness, this is chilblains," the fat lady said with reluctance on her face, "When the weather is cold, only those minions who don't have thick clothes to wear and hot water to work will have, how can they ......." "Why did Qin Yunuan, a third girl from the Taiwei Mansion, have such severe chilblains? Although the fat mama didn't say this, she already knew it in everyone's hearts.

Empress Chen's afterglow fell on Qin Yunxiang under the seat, there were too many things mixed in her eyes, Qin Yunxiang was a little flustered, and hurriedly lowered her eyes, her nails buckled into the futon under the seat, and she had nowhere to vent her guilt.

"Sister Qin, what's wrong with you?" Shangguan Yi asked, "I look like I'm sweating." ”

"I'm fine." Qin Yunxiang locked her gaze on the steps again, looking at Qin Yunuan's thin back, is this concubine really as simple as she imagined? All this, is it a coincidence?

Qin Yunuan showed a kind of forbearance and pathos, and lowered her eyes to look at the bruised and cracked chilblains on her hands, which was a testimony that she was in the broken yard of the Taiwei Mansion, without a fire and without a thick bedding to survive the cold winter, and today, it can be regarded as coming in handy.

"It's not in the way," Qin Yunuan withdrew his hand timidly, "It's because I didn't sleep well and froze a few days ago, so I ...... I had chilblains, and when I embroidered just now, the wound was really painful, and I made several wrong stitches, and I hope that the queen will forgive me. ”

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, such a serious chilblains, how can it be caused by a night of cold, a discerning person can see at a glance that it is greasy.

Concubine Yun still didn't give up, "It's just chilblains, if you practice calligraphy for a long time in winter, your hands will hurt, she walked very steadily in the first two stitches, why did it hurt later?" Most of the time it was done on purpose. ”

It's really funny, how can practicing calligraphy in a study with burning silver charcoal compare with embroidering in a leaky room.

"The courtiers were terrified, just because they saw the queen's true face for the first time, the phoenix was graceful, and the mother's etiquette was the world, so that the courtiers were at a loss for a while and messed up the needle." Qin Yunuan replied respectfully.

These words are extremely popular, and Queen Chen is quite useful.

"Huh, huh?" Concubine Yun squinted, not only disdainful of a small family like Qin Yunuan, but also disliked her words.

"Jinsu!" Empress Chen sternly stopped Concubine Yun, she had been waiting for half a day, and now she finally found an opportunity to press Concubine Yun well, Queen Chen pointed to Qin Yunuan's hand, looking sad, "The child's hands are like this, what do you care about those little things?" After that, he turned back and instructed the fat grandmother, "Go, bring the flower and jade dew from the palace." ”

Empress Chen has always spared no effort to create an image of a dignified queen with benevolence and motherhood, Qin Yunuan knows it very well, but she didn't expect that this Concubine Yun is such a difficult character.

After a while, the fat grandmother led someone to come out with a bottle of medicine, which was filled with a holy treasure for treating external injuries - Hua Yulu.

"It's just a minor injury," Qin Yunuan lowered his head and said, "Yunuan is just the daughter of the Taiwei Mansion, and she is not worthy of such a holy medicine." The more pitiful and humble she looked, the more people would believe that the chilblains on her hands were caused by being ignored by her grandmother.

"Don't shirk," Sima Rui said softly, "Since the queen mother gave it, you can just keep it." ”

Qin Yunuan thanked her repeatedly, and even Concubine Yun Guifei, who had just sarcastically spared no effort to satirize, she also bowed respectfully to her before retreating. Caution and respect are always too much.

Looking at the nobles who were discussing in private, Qin Yunuan suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart, and the rumors began with women. Presumably, in a few days, the matter of the three girls of the Taiwei Mansion family having chilblains on their hands will become a topic of conversation in this woman's circle, one to ten, ten to hundred, and when the grandmother is overwhelmed by these rumors, it is when she and her brother move out of the courtyard.

In this rebirth, she not only has to protect herself, but also has to fight for a good future for her younger brother Qin Baochuan.

Qin Yunuan sat down, Fang Ziying pulled her and asked a lot softly, Qin Yunxiang secretly pinched the futon a little harder, but her face was very kind, "My sister's hands are so serious, why don't you tell your mother, if you say it, how can your mother not care." ”

"Sister, did I say that my mother would not care?" Qin Yunuan's eyes were crystal clear.

Qin Yunxiang's expression froze, and he turned his head directly and did not speak. She didn't want to see the vase of Hua Yulu on Qin Yunuan's case, she was scratched by a cat before, and the queen mother also sent someone to send Hua Yulu, and now she also rewarded this wild girl with a bottle, isn't it ironic that she is the same as her.

In the second half of the banquet, it was time to hang flower poems and silk flowers, these are the activities of noble ladies with high status or talent, and they are not related to people of Qin Yunuan's status.

Qin Yunuan knocked on the wine bottle, and her eyes swept to the various fly-headed small letters on the poem in the center of the banquet.

That breath is still there, mixed with the aroma of wine and plum blossoms, like a lingering long practice, involving Qin Yunuan's heart.

"What's wrong with Sister Qin?" Fang Ziying sandwiched a crystal clear rock molasses orange and handed it to the small plate in front of Qin Yunuan, "It doesn't look very good." ”

"Xu is fruit wine drank too much," Qin Yunuan glanced slightly at Qin Yun's makeup who was listening sideways, and said with a half-drunk look, "I just feel that I am so dry and panicked, go out for a walk." ”
