Chapter Seventy-Two: Comparison
One of the six palaces in the east, Yanxi Palace.
It is located in the southeast corner of the East Rokunomiya District.
Yanxi Palace and the other five palaces of the East Sixth Palace have the same pattern, all of them are two courtyards before and after, the main hall of the front yard is five, the yellow glazed tile is on the top of the mountain, the indoor hanging Gaozong imperial pen plaque says "Shen Praise Huiyin", the east wall hangs Gaozong's "Holy System Cao Hou Chongnong Praise", and the west wall hangs "Cao Hou Chongnong Map".
In front of the hall, there are three rooms for each of the east and west side halls. There are five main halls in the backyard, and there are also three rooms in the east and west side halls, all of which are yellow glazed tiles on the top of the hard mountain.

"Master."
"This is the latest tribute duck egg powder produced by Xie Fuchun, a time-honored brand in Jiangdu, this year."
"This is one of the best in condition, and the Guangchu Division has sent it to our Yanxi Palace first."
Chunxiao, the palace maid who is close, holds a box made of sandalwood in her hand, gently lifts the lid on it, and the hall is suddenly full of fragrance.
Xie Fuchun is a century-old name of Jiangdu rouge gouache. The incense powder is famous for its resemblance to duck eggs. It is made of natural raw materials such as rice flour and soybean flour, which are refined by the processes of flower dyeing and ice musk incense.
It has the characteristics of light, red, white and fragrant.
The world's fragrant powder, such as the Jiangdu, can not be good for the relocation, the water and soil are suitable, and the manpower can not be strong.
"Huh."
"The people under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are still a little bit profitable."
"At this moment, I dare to disobey Lord He, the head of the Internal Affairs Office."
In front of the bronze mirror on the dresser, a pretty woman sat and said to her lightly.
"They also have a price for eyesight."
"Now in this harem, who doesn't know? The good days of the master are coming. ”
"Who didn't come up to you on the pole?"
"Although the head of the Internal Affairs Office is in a high position, a huge Internal Affairs Office is not all he can say alone."
"The He family is only retributioned because they have done all the bad things."
Chunxiao put down the sandalwood box in her hand, picked up the jade comb on the dresser, and walked behind her to help her comb her hair.
"Mouthy."
"I've been with Hongu for so long, don't you know what to say and what not to say?"
"Up and down the palace, so many pairs of eyes are staring. How can you be so open-mouthed and ignorant? ”
The pretty woman's face suddenly turned cold, and she reprimanded her sharply.
"Master forgiveness."
"The slave knows what is wrong."
"The slave will never dare again."
Chunxiao hurriedly knelt on the ground, cold sweat running down her forehead.
"Hey."
"Hongu just wants you to keep it in mind."
"Survival in the palace is like walking on thin ice."
"Don't get carried away just because of a moment of favor."
"You know, the higher you stand, the harder you fall. This sentence is not unreasonable. ”
"Less nonsense, less will increase right and wrong."
"Remember?"
The pretty woman hated that iron could not be made of steel, and opened her mouth to warn her. Chunxiao has been by her side for a long time, and she is the confidant she relies on the most. It's just that this girl is a little arrogant, and she doesn't know the weight of her mouth. If you don't listen to her carefully, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to her in the future.
The women in the palace are not fuel-efficient lamps.
The slightest mistake is a catastrophe.
"Slaves and maids obey the teachings of their masters."
Chunxiao hurriedly kowtowed and thanked her, she also knew that her master felt sorry for her. Although the words were a little heavier, they were completely thinking about her.
In her heart, gratitude is too late.
"Alright, get up."
"This incense powder looks very good, come and try it for this palace."
The pretty woman squinted at her and said lightly.
"Yes."
Chunxiao hurriedly got up and stepped forward to pick up the sandalwood box.
She had to take her master's warning to heart.
Otherwise, if it really causes a catastrophe because of this.
Sent to the Department of Punishment and punished into the Xinzhi Library.
It's chilling to think about.
"Enlighten the master."
"Concubine Yi and Guiren Shu are here."
A palace maid hurried into the dormitory and whispered to her.
"Oh?"
"Two sisters are here."
The pretty woman smiled slightly, and joy hung over her face.
They were already dressed up, and they couldn't wait long for the two of them.
He stood up and walked slowly towards the front hall.
Chunxiao followed closely behind her.
*
"I've seen Concubine Dong."
Seeing Concubine Dong coming, Concubine Yi and Shu Guiren hurriedly squatted down to salute her.
"The two sisters don't need to be polite."
"Sit down."
Chunxiao carefully helped Concubine Dong to sit down, and at this moment, she was smiling and said to the two.
"Thank you, sister."
The two got up and sat down on a small stool beside them.
"Why are the two sisters free today? Actually came to my sister's place together? ”
Concubine Dong took a piece of preserved fruit on the small table and put it in her mouth. Then he asked the two of them curiously.
"It's just that I haven't come to my sister's place for a long time, and I just miss my sister."
Concubine Yi spoke first, but it was difficult to hide the slight embarrassment on her face. Shu Guiren's face was also flushed, but he didn't know how to respond.
When Concubine Dong heard this, she smiled slightly.
See through but don't say it.
Concubine Yi used to be quite friendly with her, and often came to her to walk around. However, after the edict was issued that day, Su Zheli was appointed as the crown prince in the East Palace. The Yanxi Palace where she lives is completely declining. There are only three or two kittens of people who come and go.
Now? Hehe.
"Hmm."
"My sister also misses my sister's tightness."
"I will definitely come to my sister's place more often in the future."
"Lest the palace be too cold, and the palace will be lonely and lonely."
Concubine Dong was not aggressive, and said with a smile.
"Yes."
"My sister knows."
"By the way, sister, my sister came with a gift, and my sister will see if she likes it."
Yi Concubine stood up and clapped her hands gently. A eunuch came in with his head bowed, holding a delicate box that was not very large.
"Sister, open it and take a look."
Concubine Yi looked a little impatient and said to her.
"The box is delicate enough."
"Since it's my sister's heart, my sister will open it and take a look."
Concubine Dong stretched out her hand and opened the box.
A dazzling bracelet, lying quietly in it.
"Cloisonné enamel bracelet."
Its name is also known as cloisonné.
The enamel glazed handicrafts manufactured in the Western Regions are called whisk inlay or Buddha lang inlay, and the franc machine is simplified to whisk. After the cloisonné appeared, it was transliterated to blue, and then it was cloisonne.
Cloisonné has the warmth of jade, the brilliance of jewelry, and the delicacy of bone china. The most important thing is that the material lasts for a long time and does not fade. Even after a hundred years, the bright colors of cloisonné will not fade, they are like escaping the laws of time and being forever young.
"My sister likes it."
"My sister has a heart."
Concubine Dong waved her hand lightly, and her own eunuch stepped forward to take the box and take it away.
"If my sister likes it, it's fine."
When Concubine Yi saw Concubine Dong accept her gift, her face looked very happy.
"Sister, sister also has a gift for me."
Not to be outdone, Shu Guiren hurriedly stood up.
"Oh?"
"Then my sister is not good at favoring one over the other."
"Then look again."
When Concubine Dong heard this, she did not refuse her.
"Hmm."
When Shu Guiren heard this, he was overjoyed.
"My sister will like it very much, but my sister spent a lot of effort to get it."
Shu Guiren felt a little proud in his heart, and said to her with a smile.
"Then I'll take a closer look."
"What a special gift to be so praised by my sister."
When Concubine Dong heard this, she was also aroused by her curiosity.
"Bang bang."
Shu Guiren couldn't bear it anymore and clapped his hands gently.
A eunuch came quickly, holding a tray in his hand and gently placing it on the desk in the hall.
"Please also ask my sister to open it herself."
Shu Guiren squatted slightly and said to her.
"Okay."
Concubine Dong got up, walked to the desk, and stretched out her hand to gently lift the piece of red silk covered on it.
"Huh."
"Oh my God."
In the hall, there was a sudden sound of exclamation.
"Nanchu Wu Jiangsu embroidered everyone's Shen Guanguan masterpiece."
"Peony Diagram."
"I hope my sister can like it."
Shu Guiren, who was behind her, hurriedly opened his mouth to introduce the origin of this Su embroidery.
"Peony."
When Concubine Yi saw such a scene, her face suddenly changed. But he didn't say much.
Peony pattern, with which only a queen can match.
Now......
"Such a masterpiece is rare."
"My sister likes it very much."
This is not true at all. Shen Guanguan's embroidery craftsmanship is famous all over the world. Ordinary works are rare for thousands of gold, not to mention the excellent peony picture in front of you.
Peony, so what?
Isn't this palace worthy?
*
Yanxi Palace at this time.
There is an endless stream of people coming and going.
It won't be long before a few harem concubines will come here to sit down for a while.
Those who don't know still think that this is the head of the six palaces.
Chuxiu Palace, the door can be crowded.
Yanxi Palace, the door is like a city.
In stark contrast to each other.
