Chapter 88: Warm House

Shen Mingzhen followed behind many official ladies, Ziyu followed Shen Mingzhen with a cage, the cage contained a change of clothes and a birthday gift for Concubine Qiu, and most of the official ladies attended the banquet with a change of clothes in case of emergency.

The official ladies who came to the banquet all gathered in groups and walked forward, but only Shen Mingzhen and Qiu Huanhuan were alone in the group.

Qiu Huanhuan, as Concubine Qiu's niece, is naturally sought after, but she has never liked to get close to people, but Shen Mingzhen didn't recognize her, and most of them were a little curious about her, but they were also reluctant to come forward to talk, and all the people who went to the palace to attend the banquet were only the wives and daughters of officials above the fourth grade, and she was the daughter of the fifth-grade waiter, and there were many of these people, but they had heard of her, but they were really not very interested in her in their hearts.

No one would like a woman with a reputation, and Shen Mingzhen didn't force it, after all, she didn't want to go to great lengths to blend in the circle that she couldn't get into.

Autumn in the north has always been a bit bleak, even in Bauhinia City, many flowers and plants next to it are showing a withered appearance, and the brightest color of the huge corridor is the dresses of the young ladies.

Some of the silent palaces reverberated from time to time with the laughter of young girls like silver bells, which added a bit of vitality.

"Miss, I look at this palace, except that it is a little bigger than the street outside, it is nothing special." Ziyu scratched her head, a little puzzled.

"Don't talk, this is the palace after all." Shen Mingzhen frowned, if Ziyu's words were heard by others, I was afraid that there would be a storm.

"Sister Mo, it's pitiful that Shen Mingzhen and Qiu Huanhuan are both alone."

Mo Yan'er and the Meng family sisters walked behind, Meng Huaixiang saw Shen Mingzhen walking alone, and even Qiu Huanhuan, who stood up for the Shen family's daughter last time, was also alone, and couldn't help but gloat.

"Xiang'er, don't talk too much." Meng Huaihan stopped Meng Huaixiang from continuing to speak, but looked at Shen Mingzhen with some envy.

"Ah Han, your sister is not wrong this time, that Qiu Huanhuan has regarded herself as high since she was a child, in fact, no one can stand her temperament, so naturally she has no friends, as for Shen Mingzhen's appearance all the way, it is even worse than Qiu Huanhuan."

Mo Yan'er pursed her lips, although she and Qiu Huanhuan were mortal enemies, but Qiu Huanhuan was compared to the daughter of a petty official, and she was a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know what kind of wind the Hou Mansion of Wu'an smoked, just let a concubine marry her sister-in-law, after all, Song Ziyi has not made any achievements, but the most outstanding person in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an actually took the daughter of that family, and the Shen family can't see anything good."

Speaking of which, Meng Huaixiang still couldn't help but be jealous. What's good, it's just that the daughters of their family are used to using some foxy techniques, although they don't have any thoughts about Song Ziyi in their hearts, but Meng Huaixiang is still very disgusted with the Shen sisters.

"Maybe it's their fortune, maybe they also have something to gain that we don't have, and the Wu'an Hou Mansion is not a place to be blinded by others."

Meng Huaihan smiled softly and said softly, becoming more and more gentle.

"What is the way, I think you are much better than her, but you call yourself a miracle doctor after learning some skin, and you laugh off your big teeth."

Mo Yan'er has always looked down on Shen Mingzhen, but now that Qiu Huanhuan has lost to this woman, she is not so hostile to Qiu Huanhuan, she has always fought with her to win, but now she has lost to such a woman, and Qiu Huanhuan has to bear.

The place where Concubine Qiu held her birthday banquet was chosen in the conservatory of the imperial garden, which was built when the emperor was still there, and it was as warm as spring all year round.

The conservatory is not far from the palace gate, and it is five or six hundred meters away after passing through the corridor, and now the scenery in the palace is also depressed, but there is nothing to see, so Shen Mingzhen walked intently.

After walking for half an hour, I finally saw the shadow of the greenhouse, and many of the young ladies were relieved, they were all young ladies who did not go out of the door at home, and now they were naturally tired after walking for half an hour.

Shen Mingzhen didn't feel so tired, also because she often walked around, and this point was not too far.

The reason why the conservatory is called a conservatory is because the temperature inside has been maintained at the temperature of spring, what is the principle Shen Mingzhen didn't know, and she didn't go in.

The conservatory is made of bamboo, and it looks verdant from afar, although I know that it is painted with lacquer, but when the flowers and plants are showing a withered appearance, it shows a trace of vitality.

The tiny crevices in the palace wall made of emerald green bamboo were crawling with creepers, and outside the palace wall, a woman in a water-red dress turned her head to say something to the maid beside her, and the two laughed together.

That's Concubine Qiu, Shen Mingzhen is approaching, but there is no such panic in her heart, and the corners of her mouth are hooked.

"Niangniang has been waiting outside the palace wall for a long time, and Miss Qiu will definitely have to say a few more words to Concubine Qiu later." Father-in-law Pei naturally knew that Concubine Qiu was standing there and was the only one Miss Qiu waiting there, so he turned his head and said to Qiu Huanhuan.

Qiu Huanhuan said with a rare smile to Father-in-law Pei: "My aunt doesn't know how to take care of her body, how can she stand outside, it's my sin to suffer from the wind."

"Miss Qiu has a deep relationship with her aunt and nephew, which makes people envious, Concubine Qiu is just to see you."

Gonggong Pei pinched the orchid finger and laughed quietly, now the queen in the harem eats fasting and recites Buddha, the concubine Niangniang is pregnant, and the concubine is favored by the official family for a while, although he has been in the palace for a long time, he also knows that the last thing to offend is the woman in the harem.

Qiu Huanhuan's heart warmed when she heard this, she naturally would not doubt the truth of Pei Gonggong's words, she just had a good relationship with Concubine Qiu, and Concubine Qiu was stunned for a long time when Concubine Qiu was taken by the official family two years ago.

Gradually walked in, Shen Mingzhen also saw clearly what Concubine Qiu looked like, if it was said that Qiu Huanhuan's gentleness was lined with clothes and makeup on her body, then the gentleness of this Concubine Qiu was revealed from her bones.

Today's Concubine Qiu is only nineteen years old, which is a good age, with mutton fat and jade-like skin, and facial features are somewhat similar to Qiu Huanhuan, and the two of them stand together, and it is not an exaggeration to say that aunts and nephews are like sisters.

The decoration on Concubine Qiu's body is not heavy, but a small hairpin with a wooden hairpin carved with a fox, the water-red palace dress makes her more and more white and tender, and the makeup on her face is not heavy, but it is the most suitable for Concubine Qiu.
