Chapter 683: The Crested Hairpin's Jackpot
The Queen Mother was talking to a few of the wives, glanced at this side and turned around again, as if she didn't see them, and continued to talk to the wives.
treats each other coldly, and everyone next to him can see that this queen is not the queen mother's heart.
Suddenly, many people were happy in their hearts, and they behaved more and more dignified and virtuous, just to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother.
Mu Ling could see at a glance that today's scene of watching the snow and appreciating the plum blossoms was a blind date meeting for Liang Chu that the Queen Mother was unwilling to make.
In Mu Ling's opinion, this kind of behavior is really that the Queen Mother has been bored in this harem for a long time, so she always thinks about these moths.
I had to think about it for the Queen Mother earlier, and find something serious to distract her.
Liang Chu stepped forward and nodded slightly at the Queen Mother, and pulled Mu Ling to sit down on the vacant seat on the side. Feng Shou helped the two of them pour some wine, drink and enjoy the plums, and enjoy themselves.
"In a few days, all the cold plums will bloom."
Looking at the plum blossom tree with snow hanging on the branches, Mu Ling was in a very good mood.
This is the first snow of the year, and this plum blossom is also very suitable for the occasion, and it will bloom here no sooner or later.
The white snow covered with these pale pink plum blossoms is really very situational!
Liang Chu smiled and snatched the wine cup in her hand: "This piece is opened earlier, and when it comes to the wax moon, all the snow plums over there are open, which is really good." β
"Huh?" Mu Ling couldn't help but wonder.
"The plum blossoms here are a little pink, and the fragrance is enough, but in the end it looks frivolous, and it loses the pride of the plum. If you use such plum blossoms to make sake, you will lose a bit of flavor. The snow plum that blooms in the middle of winter is much better, and the wine made in this way is fragrant. β
It turns out that there is such a delicacy! Mu Ling nodded frequently, which can be regarded as a long experience.
Her eyes were full of admiration, and she saw that Liang Chu's heart was relieved for a while, and she raised her hand to stroke her head: "In a few days, when the New Year comes, it will be much easier." β
At the end of the year, after the officials of all parties went to Beijing to report on their work, it was the inventory and liquidation of the Ministry of Officials and Households, and all this was done, and if nothing particularly big happened, then the officials could take a few days off and have a good New Year.
And for Liang Chu, it is also a rare few days of clean days.
Mu Ling nodded again, and there was some expectation in his eyes: "In previous years, I was stuffy in the palace, and I don't know what kind of tricks the New Year is outside. β
This ancient year is always more youthful than the modern one. Since she got here, she really hasn't had a chance to go out and have a good look, and this time since Liang Chu has spoken, of course Mu Ling will not let it go.
Their words did not particularly shy away from anyone, and although everyone was doing their own thing, their attention would still be on Liang Chu and Mu Ling, and what they said at this time, others would naturally hear it.
The queen mother had the intention to ask these noble ladies to show off their literary talents, so that Liang Chu could look sideways, and when she heard their words, she first glared at Mu Ling: "The little princess and the little prince are still young, you don't want to take care of them in the palace, you just want to go out to play all day long, what is this like!" β
Isn't this deliberately trying to find fault with her!
Regarding the queen mother's dissatisfaction, Mu Ling is now immune, so he simply ignores it.
The Queen Mother was bored by herself, and her face became a little gloomy, but if she didn't let go, it would seem that she was too unreasonable, and she didn't make this group of women and nobles laugh.
The Queen Mother could only change the topic with a dark face: "The mourning family just heard the emperor's words, and he said it very well. Nowadays, if there is only snow and plums, it will inevitably be monotonous. β
"These silk and bamboo orchestras are very good." Mu Ling glanced faintly at the musicians over there.
"The silk and bamboo orchestra is clichΓ©, and the singing and dancing are always a little less elegant." The Queen Mother glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "Everyone here is full of poetry and books, and today the mourning family will use this crested hairpin to make a color head, see who can win this jackpot!" β
After that, the Queen Mother reached out and took off the crested hairpin on her head and handed it to Mama Su to put on the table in front of her.
The crested hairpin is in the form of tired gold wire, a phoenix with wings ready to fly is lifelike, with ruby to make the phoenix's eyes, the body is decorated with colorful gemstones, that is, the tassels below are pearls and gems staggered together, the end is extremely gorgeous.
Not to mention such gorgeous jewelry, that is, the girls like it when they see it, just say that the meaning of this crested hairpin is enough to make people eager to try.
Since ancient times, the mother of the main palace can insert the phoenix hairpin, and the crested hairpin can only be obtained by the queen.
The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, so she is naturally enough to be identious. And the crested hairpin she used is different from the queen's grace and luxury, but it is more calm.
Little girls won't wear such jewelry, but what they value is the value of this crested hairpin.
The corners of Mu Ling's lips hooked up a weird smile, and she didn't break it, just sat quietly and watched the play.
The Queen Mother is more and more good at finding things for her, in the past, it was just a yin and yang weirdness, but recently she was unhappy in front of her, for fear that others would not know that the Queen Mother and the Queen were not right.
With the queen mother's colorful head, all the nobles were very happy, and began to compose poems and lyrics after the wine order.
Mu Ling looked at it coldly, and didn't comment on the level of these people, just as if he had never seen them.
Compared with Mu Ling's calm look, the Queen Mother can be regarded as amiable.
Since the first noble girl wrote poems, the Queen Mother has been smiling and praising her, she looks at everyone very pleasing to the eye, and she is not dissatisfied at all. If conditions permit, maybe she will take all these girls into the palace.
When everyone saw the Queen Mother like this, their hearts became more and more bottomless. Everyone thinks they are the best, and looking at the attitude of the Queen Mother, they feel that the Queen Mother doesn't like anyone, and this kind of smile is just a formality.
In the end, it was a somewhat sloppy ending.
"The mourning family looks very good today, but there is only one crested hairpin in the mourning family, but I don't know what to do." The Queen Mother opened her mouth with a smile, and suddenly looked at Mu Ling, "The Queen has always been a smart person, why don't you come up with an idea?" β
Threw the thorn to her again!
Mu Ling sneered in his heart, but his face was not obvious: "Whoever the Queen Mother likes, she will give it to whomever she likes." This crested hairpin is the queen mother's thing, and the concubines don't dare to call the shots. β
Tell her to wade into this troubled water, she doesn't have this mind!
The Queen Mother was immediately displeased: "Empress, what do you mean by this?" Now that everyone is happy in one place, what do you have to do to ruin the fun? Everyone is still waiting for this, but you say such a sentence, isn't it sad? β
