Chapter 173

"Niangniang, look, this is the style sent by Qin Huai's new election this year, or did the master personally choose it for Niangniang." Aunt Yun Xi held a roll of cloud embroidered cloth and presented it to Concubine Mei, and said with a smile.

Xia Rongxin put down the brocade she was looking at in her hand, turned to look at the cloud embroidery in Yun Xi's hand, and smiled and was surprised: "Ah, it's really good-looking, I have a heart." ”

The palace maids and eunuchs around them saw Mei Guifei praising this roll of brocade, and they also gave a thumbs up to praise Niangniang's good vision.

"This is natural, if there are any good things in the palace, it will naturally be used in Yichun Hall before they will be distributed to other palaces, which shows that the emperor still loves our mother the most in his heart." Yun Xi saw Mei Guifei smile, and hurriedly praised her while the iron was hot.

The palace maid beside him echoed again.

Xia Rongxin looked at this cloud embroidered brocade and liked it more and more, but when she heard Yun Xi say this, her smile froze on her face, and then she put down the brocade and asked, "How much did Minghuatang divide over there?" ”

Yun Xi's smile also froze on his face, looked at the palace maid beside him, and then said truthfully to Concubine Mei: "Twenty horses." ”

"What about our palace?" Xia Rongxin glanced at this cloud-embroidered brocade and never wanted to touch it again.

"Twenty horses..."Yun Xi lowered his hand and bowed his head.

"It doesn't seem to be a particularly cherished brocade, she has twenty horses, twenty horses in the main palace, and other palaces have been divided?" Xia Rongxin has been busy with the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve recently, and she has no time to read the account list.

"In the rest of the palace, there are as many as one or two horses, and there is no one at least..."Yun Xi whispered.

"Take these brocade cloths and give them to the concubines who have not been allocated." Xia Rongxin glanced at it in disgust, although the cloud embroidered brocade was precious, if it was the same as someone else's, Xia Rongxin would not want to be rare anymore.

"Niangniang, this cloud embroidered brocade is an excellent material for making Chinese clothes." Yun Xi exclaimed.

She never thought that Mei Guifei Niangniang, who was still very fond of the cloud-embroidered brocade just now, was so disgusted with the cloud-embroidered brocade in a blink of an eye.

"Don't." Xia Rongxin didn't want to look at this cloud embroidered brocade again, but picked up the brocade that Fang Cai looked at herself, and said to Yun Xi: "Then take this as a Chinese New Year's Eve dress." ”

Yun Xi took the piece of cloth, looked at the Yunxiu brocade again, and couldn't help but feel a pity in her heart, but since Mei Guifei said so, she could only do what she said: "Yes." ”

Just as Yun Xi beckoned people to take out the Yunxiu brocade and send it to the concubines who had not been assigned the brocade, Rongfu's father-in-law pushed the door and walked in, saluted Mei Guifei, who was looking down to read a book, and then said: "Guifei Niangniang, the noble person asks to see." ”

Xia Rongxin raised her eyes, put down the book in her hand, and glanced at Yun Xi, not knowing why the nobleman who had never been in contact with her suddenly came.

"Pass her in." But after all, they are also concubines in the palace, and on the surface they are all good sisters, since the nobles are here, Xia Rongxin naturally has no reason to refuse to see her.

Rong Fu answered, and hurriedly went out to spread the word that the nobles came in.

Yun Xi handed the cloud embroidered brocade in her hand to the palace maids behind her, and told them to send them to other concubines' palaces.

Guiren and Ah Xun waited outside the door for a while, and Gongfu Rongfu came out, smiling and politely to Guiren: "Guiguiren, the noble concubine is invited." ”

"There is Lao Rongfu's father-in-law." Xue Guiren and Ah Xun humbly nodded to Rongfu in thanks.

Rong Fu smiled and nodded, lifted the curtain of the warm pavilion of the Yichun Palace, and wanted to lead them in.

As soon as it was opened, the nobles felt a warm breath coming to their faces, the warm pavilion of the Yichun Hall was as warm as spring, not like her Lanyuan Pavilion, icy and snowy, cold outside, even colder in the house, and the coal sent by the Internal Affairs Office was not enough for people to survive in this winter, and it was better to be in some palace maids' rooms.

The nobleman felt sad, but he held back his emotions and walked into the warm pavilion of the Yichun Palace.

After seeing Mei Guifei on the seat, the nobles settled their minds and bowed on their knees: "The concubine sees Mei Guifei Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Guiren glanced at Concubine Mei slightly, and saw that the clothes on Aunt Yun Xi around her were more expensive than herself, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Xia Rongxin smiled kindly and said, "Noble Xu, please get up." Then he instructed Yun Xi to give her a seat to watch tea.

After the nobleman sat down and drank a sip of tea to warm up her body, Xia Rongxin smiled at her and said, "It's freezing this day, the nobleman is not staying in the palace, is there something wrong with coming to the palace?" ”

The nobleman settled down, recalled the words carefully prepared on the road when he came, then showed a smile, and said to Mei Guifei: "It was the cold and the ground was freezing, and the concubine wanted to come out for a walk, remembering that the plum blossoms in the plum garden were blooming at this time, and she lingered for a while. Thinking that since they have arrived at the Imperial Garden, why don't we come and see the concubine Niangniang. ”

Xia Rongxin smiled and nodded, this was just a polite word, but it was very useful in Xia Rongxin's ears, during the time when she was not favored and was deprived of the power of the harem, the Yichun Palace was full of birds, and now it is back to the original prosperity.

"Ahh A few days ago, I heard the imperial doctor say that the noble man was seriously ill, but now he is better? "Everything in the palace now needs Xia Rongxin to see in person, and the hospital call book is naturally no exception, just think about it a little to remember the name of the person who has seen the name of the person who has seen it in the call book of the Tai Hospital.

"There is Lao Niangniang's concern, and the concubine is all right now." The nobleman nodded obediently and responded with a smile.

Then he felt that something was wrong, and quickly added: "Recently, the lady has been busy with the family banquet for Chinese New Year's Eve, and she should pay more attention to her body." ”

"You don't need to worry about this palace, it's too cold this winter, you have to take care of yourself more." Xia Rongxin said with a smile.

It just so happened that a plate of hot dim sum was sent from the small kitchen, and the white and chubby dough was lit with a little vermilion, looking festive and generous, Yun Xi hurriedly brought it up: "Guifei Niangniang, noble man, this newly baked dim sum, you can taste it." ”

Xia Rongxin smiled and picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth: "It's sweet and soft, let's try it." ”

The noble man nodded, picked up a piece of dim sum, and also followed the example of Mei Guifei and sent it to his mouth to taste it carefully, but he had something on his mind, and this sweet and delicious dim sum was like chewing wax in his mouth, and he couldn't enjoy it.

"The things in the Niangniang Palace are really the best." After eating a piece of dim sum, the nobleman also smiled and nodded in praise.

After eating the snacks, the noble man slowly said as if unintentionally: "The concubine heard that before the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, there will be dabbling activities?" ”

Seeing the look of the noble man with interest, Xia Rongxin is naturally proud, after all, this idea is indeed very in line with this year's Chinese New Year's Eve activities, which can not only take care of the envoy and the general's wife, but also let the foreign envoy see, my Celestial Empire not only has warriors who can fight well, but also heroines who do not let their eyebrows go.

"yes." Xia Rongxin took a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and when she saw that the nobleman asked, she was naturally happy to tell her and said, "Although it is a dabbling activity, but for the sake of safety, they are all wrapped in red cloth with flat-headed feather arrows, and some rabbits are put for these envoys and the general's wife to use for fun." How? Are you also interested? ”

The nobleman showed a look of surprise and flattered: "Flat-headed arrow, this idea is excellent, the concubine is really smart, no wonder the emperor values you, and then you want to be a concubine, your appearance is mediocre, and even your brain is not very bright, which is really inferior in comparison." ”

Xia Rongxin was particularly useful for this kind of words, she covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at Yun Xi behind her, and said with a smile: "Where is this nobleman, you and the palace are both concubines in the palace, and in the eyes of the emperor, they are treated equally, nothing more than what is important or not." The emperor is just too busy, and the nobles have to think more about the emperor. ”

"What the concubine taught her is that the concubine is ignorant." The nobleman smiled, and then made a look as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said: "Niangniang, the concubine has a plan, which can add a little more fun to the dabbling." ”

"Oh?" Xia Rongxin became interested, who doesn't want to do a good job perfectly, she wished that someone could come and give her advice, "You might as well talk about it." ”

"The concubine is foolish, if it is not good, the concubine should just listen to it, and the concubine also wants to do more for the emperor." The nobleman made a timid look, and he desperately wanted to show himself in front of Concubine Mei.

The nobles have never had much friendship with them, they belong to neutral concubines, Xia Rongxin will not have too many doubts about her, just thinking that the nobles suddenly figured it out today, and want to climb their own backer to plan for their future.

"But it's okay to say it."

"The concubine doesn't know, the concubine's hometown is in Jingzhou, when we were children, we would always take the red paint of the window flower to dip it in the cloth ball paper ball, and throw this as a blessing to each other, who has the most paint on it, it means that the next year will be good luck, is a good omen." Guiren said with a smile.

Xia Rongxin listened to her carefully and pondered carefully.

Fang Cai Niangniang said that the flat-headed arrow was wrapped in red cloth, and the concubine remembered the game when she was in Jingzhou. If it's just a simple dabble, the flat-headed arrow can't shoot the rabbit, but if it does... Concubine Niangniang, this Chinese New Year, it is not appropriate to see blood in the palace, all the masters present are noble, not like ordinary hunting.

If you can wrap the flat-headed arrows in red cloth, add some cotton cloth and the like, and then shoot and play with each other in the garden of the palace, it will not only satisfy the exciting feelings of the envoys and the general's wife, but also make the whole hunt safe and interesting. When the time comes, it will be very interesting to see who shoots more, and set up a first prize, and the first place will be rewarded. The nobleman said forgetfully.
