Bing Lan went to Jianzhang Palace to make a business, the Queen Mother glanced at Bing Lan who was kneeling on the ground, and then continued to count the number of books that Bing Lan copied, and said slowly: "The number is enough, but..."

"Sister, the child has been frozen for a night, and it is not easy to copy it." Concubine Shu walked into the house with the palace people, picked up Bing Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Your aunt made a set of winter clothes, let's try it immediately." With that, the palace people had already unfolded the clothes on the tray and hung them on the clothes racks. It was a white winter dress. The lower skirt is also embroidered with carmine, goose yellow, and deep camel red plums, and the flowers seem to be pinched with your hands to pinch out the flower juice.

After the ice blue was put on, it was light and warm, and a small piece of mink fur was exposed at the neckline, and a whole piece of mink fur was sewn on the inside of the clothes. The most important thing is that the waist is as slender as a summer skirt.

"Thank you, Lady Lady." Bing Lan said happily.

"She's the best for you. This garment has been made for you from the fall. I'm afraid you won't have enough winter clothes to wear. The concubine said with a smile.

Before the concubine finished speaking, Bing Lan ran to the side of the Queen Mother, hugged the Queen Mother's face and kissed it, and said in her ear: "Auntie, don't be angry with me." ”

The Queen Mother pushed her away and said disgustedly: "Just powdered, don't make flowers." On weekdays, she is plain and doesn't wear makeup, where does she look like a daughter of the Hou Mansion......"

"On the Shangyuan Festival, there will be a lantern party in the palace, and the ladies in the capital will come, and you will have more companions." The concubine said.

Bing Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this, she had long forgotten her tiredness last night, and said, "Auntie, is that the third sister of the Tang family also coming?" ”

"Who is the third sister of the Tang family? Did you meet at the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet? The concubine asked with interest.

"Hmm. Not only is she beautiful in life, but she also can draw patterns, so her clothes are beautiful. And I'm very temperamental! "Ice Blue Road.

"It's not that I didn't sleep last night, hurry up and go to bed." The Queen Mother said.

"Oh. Aunt. I'm quitting. "Ice Blue Salute. Then he whispered to Concubine Shu: "Lady, I'm leaving." ”

After Bing Lan left, the Queen Mother looked at the ten volumes of female trainers handed over by Bing Lan, pointed to the familiar part of the handwriting, and said to Concubine Shu: "Look, who wrote this?" ”

After seeing it, Concubine Shu said, "Most of it is from Your Majesty's hands. ”

The Queen Mother pretended to regret and said, "Eh, it seems that she can't become your daughter-in-law." ”

"No matter who she is, it doesn't affect my liking Lan'er at all." Concubine Shu smiled, took a cherry and finished frying it, and said: "Now that your niece is here, I don't think I need that Dengwen drum, and the Lu family is not enough to think about it." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "You, you, why didn't these thoughts be spent when you were young?" ”

"Haha. I don't bother with people who don't deserve it...... Sister, the two of us just understand this so that we can live well, don't we? The concubine said.

"yes. Those who don't understand are all with the first emperor. The Queen Mother said.

The two of them finished talking, and they looked at each other and smiled.

In the Feixia Palace, the palace people who came and went moved out one after another. Wanqing saluted Lu Huanong and said, "Mrs. Lu, the over-controlled utensils and slaves must be counted and stored in the treasury of the inner court. According to the will of the Queen Mother, only one palace person can be left to serve you, who do you want to stay? ”

It turned out that the palace people who served Hua Nong knelt on the ground, and no one dared to look up at Hua Nong, but they were afraid that Hua Nong would leave him. Hua Nong glanced at the slave kneeling on the ground, and then saw that no one was willing to stay, and his heart was desolate, so he casually pointed to an older palace man kneeling in the front row and said, "Just her." As soon as she said this, the expressions on the faces of the other palace people were relieved, and they knelt on the ground to thank her.

"Grace of Xie Baolin."

"Grace of Xie Baolin!"

"……"

Voices come and go.

Hua Nong's blood surged up all of a sudden, staggered back a few steps, and sat down on the chair behind him.

"Madam, if there is no order, the slave and maid will leave." Wanqing was about to bow and leave the hall.

"Has Your Majesty returned to the palace?" Hua Nong asked. This was her last hope.

"Your Majesty has worked hard all the way, and he has already rested in Weiyang Palace." Wanqing replied calmly.

It was night, and Hua Nong tossed and turned. Seventeen years old, exactly the age of flowers, how could I fall out of favor! It must be Huo Ji and the Queen Mother who are obstructing it, otherwise how could Your Majesty not exonerate me. Thinking of this, he sat up angrily, picked up a teacup in his hand and threw it on the ground...

After the thunderclap cracked, she turned around and saw the only palace person, kneeling in the corner of the wall and not daring to look up, her body trembling.

"Heads up, what's your name?"

The palace man replied with a wincing: "Mrs. Hui, the slave maid is called Xiaojing, surnamed Tian." ”

Hua Nong continued to ask: "You used to clean outside?" ”

"Yes."

"How old are you?"

"Twenty-four."

Twenty-four years old is just a palace maid doing rough work, and it's really unbearable. Hua Nong looked sideways slightly, and asked again: "There is still a year left before I leave the palace." Is there a place to go after leaving the palace? ”

"The slave and maid are poor and have nowhere to go."

"Whether you are voluntary or not, since you follow me, it is possible to soar and become a high-ranking female official like Wanqing. If you are unfaithful, it will be easy for me to take your life, even if I lose power. Do you understand? Hua Nong said sharply.

"The slave understands, the slave understands." Xiaojing was a little scared, and she trembled at the thought of the red scarf.

Hua Nong lost his temper and had a dry mouth.

"Go make me a pot."

"Yes." Xiao Jing hurried down to prepare.

After a pillar of incense, Xiaojing brought tea. Before Hua Nong entered his mouth, he sprayed it on Xiaojing's face

"Sure enough, the minions who climb high and step on the low can even slack off on tea. In the big night, don't you know how to serve soothing tea...... With such strong tea, how can you sleep at night......" Hua Nong said angrily.

"The slave maid changed a pot of tea for the lady." After that, Xiaojing is going to change the tea.

Hua Nong stopped her and said, "Don't worry, although I can't enter and leave the Feixia Hall freely, you can go and get the order, right?" ”

Xiao Jing nodded.

"Then you should inquire more about the news in the palace, especially Huo Ji and His Majesty. I am rewarded for doing a good job. Hua Nong said.

Xiao Jing didn't dare to think about the reward, as long as he was no longer beaten, he was lucky. Said cautiously: "The slave understands. ”

For several days, Hua Nong groomed in the mirror every day, waiting for Xuan Nan to come to see her, from sunrise to sunset, the palace door of Feixia Hall was never opened. Looking at the empty room, which was not as dazzling as the gold, silver and jade objects of the past, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this time, Xiaojing returned. She brought with her the portions of Hua Nong, and all the portions except the charcoal fire and rice were deducted. Looking at the half coarse cloth in front of her, the moldy rouge gouache and the dusty tea leaves, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, overturned these things to the ground at once, and said angrily: "Dare to bring these rags to Mrs. Ben!" ”

Xiao Jing knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Madam, fortunately, the charcoal fire and rice have not been deducted. ”

Hua Nong disagreed, and continued to ask: "What's the news outside?" ”

Xiao Jing said hesitantly: "I heard that ......, His Majesty had been with Huo Ji...... In the Qingtai Hall...... All night. ”

These words poked Hua Nong's heart, Your Majesty, have you forgotten me? Don't you like to watch me dance and sing? This Hawkie, what's so good about her, it's just that she was born in a good family! Thinking of this, Hua Nong's hands clenched, and Kou Dan's long red nails were deeply embedded in the delicate flesh and broke at once. She held the broken armor in her hand and said in a gloomy tone: "Xiaojing, is she good-looking, or is my wife and I superior?" ”

Xiaojing said: "Naturally, it is Madame, and Madame's beauty is unmatched." What she said was true, Hua Nong's beauty couldn't find a second one in the Great Chu Palace.
