Chapter 46: Meiyu
Seeing He Meiren's cramped and restless appearance, Chu Yuxi comforted her: "No, I agree with your statement, and I like your temperament."
The uneasiness in He Meiren's eyes gradually faded, and the corners of her mouth also provoked a shallow smile, "Does Niangniang also like this peony?" ”
"Peony likes light and is drought tolerant, I like its temperament ......" Chu Yuxi stepped forward, stretched out his hand and stroked a white peony in front of him, and then said, "Peony is charming and beautiful, but it is much better than those vulgar things." ”
He Meiren was amused by Chu Yuxi's words, "If Niangniang likes it, she will pick some back when she leaves, how wonderful it is." ”
"Then thank you, sister."
"Your concubine is polite. I see that Niangniang also really likes it, so they must also really like Niangniang. Haven't these feelings been mutual, since ancient times? ”
Seeing that He Meiren was not as restrained as before, Chu Yuxi thought in her heart that she was also a person who could quickly integrate into the new environment. And there is no little bit of childishness on his body, he is generous and generous, and he is a wonderful person.
I also liked her in my heart, so I said, "Has my sister ever gone out for a walk?" ”
"To be honest, the palace is an impermeable courtyard wall in the eyes of the concubines. Although before entering the palace, I heard my father and mother say how good the palace is, how many exotic flowers and plants there are in the imperial garden, and how many benefits others can't ask for as a concubine, but these are all floating clouds in the eyes of the concubines. ”
When Chu Yuxi heard her words, her heart was even happier, and she continued: "Although there are many bad things outside the palace, there are many people, and the whole family is unrestrained together. It's not as lonely as this harem, and there are many rules, so I never went out. ”
Chu Yuxi suddenly realized that he had met a confidant, and his face was hard to hide.
"My sister has a sweet tooth?"
"Osmanthus cake is the concubine's favorite ......"
Chu Yuxi glanced at Xiaoli sideways, as if thinking of something, and stepped forward to hold He Meiren's round and tender little hand, "Sister, you might as well go to my palace to sit, the osmanthus cake made by Xiaoli tastes good." ”
He Meiren first glanced at Chu Yuxi a little nervously, then stared at her directly, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.
Chu Yuxi was so happy that he seemed to have met an old friend.
"Then the concubine is welcome."
Chu Yuxi still smiled, "I'm two years older than you, so we'll be called sisters in the future, right?" ”
He Meiren is the first person Chu Yuxi really wants to be called a sister, and others are just acting on the spot, probably because the aura of the two is compatible
He Meiren also nodded again and again, and then personally picked a lot of well-prescribed peonies for Chu Yuxi.
The two also chatted happily on the way back to the Hibiscus Palace.
As soon as she returned to the Furong Palace, Chu Yuxi was busy asking Xiaoli to make osmanthus cakes, and asked Xiaoqi to take out the best Biluochun to greet her.
"Sister, this garden is full of purple, so romantic."
Seeing that she was stunned, Chu Yuxi stepped forward with a smile and gently took the large bunch of peonies she was holding in her hand, "Half of it can be inserted in a vase to watch, and half can be stored in a cool and dry place in the house, and it can be brewed as flower tea in the future." ”
"Sister, can I ask for a few wisteria flowers? I saw that it was blooming very well, and when I went back, I dried it and made dried flower decorations. ”
"You can choose everything in this courtyard with all your heart, I just hope that you can leave me a ......"
After the words, for a while, there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the Furong Palace, so it was not lively.
The two of them chatted about all the trivial things at home outside the palace while tasting osmanthus cakes, and how her father told her to be careful outside the palace the day before she entered the palace, and on the morning of the draft, in order to be perfect, she only bought a piece of cake at random, and so on. Nine peaches
Chu Yuxi loves to listen very much, and always feels that he has found a new continent.
Even when someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to give all the clothes needed for tomorrow's canonization ceremony, she only asked Xiaoqi to inspect and accept them.
"I heard that people in the palace say that my sister is quite favored by His Majesty, but I am not really happy when I look at my sister."
Chu Yuxi smiled indifferently, "My sister will know if my sister is really happy in the future." ”
saw He Meiren holding her chin with her hands, and muttered to herself: "Dad and my mother originally had a disagreement on my draft, but in the end my mother still compromised...... This is the first time I remember them fighting over me. She told me that no matter how ordinary my ending when I entered the palace this time, I should deal with everything by myself and never provoke others, so that I could keep peace for a long time. ”
Chu Yuxi listened quietly, "What do you think?" ”
"My father and mother often quarrel over trivial things in the house, and they can reconcile afterwards. It's different in the palace, just like when I got His Majesty's favor, I still have to be careful when I speak, let alone quarrel with him...... Besides, my father only married his mother from beginning to end, but this harem can't do it, His Majesty is all the concubines. ”
Chu Yuxi glanced around, and didn't forget to remind her and said, "Let you say it openly today, and you won't be allowed to say these words again from tomorrow." ”
He Meiren pondered for a moment before nodding and replying: "My sister only said these words to my sister, and my sister's teachings have also been written down, and I will never mention them again." ”
Seeing Chu Yuxi's thoughtful look, He Meiren proposed, "I'll go make peony flower cakes for my sister." ”
As he spoke, he looked around for the back kitchen, and Chu Yuxi saw that she was very interested, so he asked Xiaoli to accompany her, "Then I'll go into the house to copy the scriptures, and when you're tired, come in and rest." ”
After copying the scriptures for a while, Xiaoyuanzi outside reported that Ye Hansi was coming.
Chu Yuxi was about to get up to greet him, but he had already walked in.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."
Ye Hansi nodded, and then his gaze swept over her and landed on a bunch of compound peony flowers placed on the desk, and he couldn't help asking, "Have you been to the Peony Garden?" ”
After Chu Yuxi sat down for him, he nodded and replied, "Well, the concubine also met He Meiren from the Peony Garden, and this flower was also given by her to the concubine." ”
Ye Hansi didn't have much impression of that He Meiren, so he didn't take it seriously.
Chu Yuxi instructed Xiao Qi, who was serving the tea, to the side, "Go to the back kitchen and invite He Meiren, just say that Your Majesty is here." ”
Ye Hansi told her about Yan Jieyu's condition, "After lunch, she took the decoction that Imperial Doctor Jiang decocted herself, and now she is asleep, and she doesn't cough much anymore when she hears the slave maid." ”
Chu Yuxi also agreed without changing his face, "This is a good thing." ”
As she spoke, He Meiren walked in cautiously.
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed."
Ye Hansi only glanced at her lightly, but didn't pay attention, "Get up." ”
Chu Yuxi stepped forward to help He Meiren up, and then took out a plain brocade handkerchief from her waist and slapped the flour on her body for her, "Why did you make yourself so embarrassed?" ”
"I didn't pay attention for a while, sister, I'm fine." He Meiren smiled deeply at Chu Yuxi, completely ignoring Ye Hansi.
Originally, Chu Yuxi still wanted to help her, but seeing that she didn't have that mind, she stopped.
"I thought of another title for you, how about the word 'Yu'?"
Chu Yuxi faced Ye Hansi again, and said with a leisurely smile: "The word 'Yu' means beautiful jade, which is a good word. ”
