Chapter 13: The new concubine, please be safe
In the afternoon, the sun was obscured by clouds, but it was not so hot.
In the painting boat, there are ice cubes swaying in the cool air, so it is very cool inside.
Du Wanxi was wrapped in a blanket, sitting on a high throne, and holding a cup of warm tea poured by Qiuyue in his hand.
I still felt uncomfortable with the cold, so I kept shaking my body.
Zhan An sat next to him, with a worried look on his face.
"Mother, your body is too weak, when the ceremony is over, my son sent a few highly skilled imperial doctors to you to ask for a pulse, to see what the symptoms are, this has been raised for a long time and it is not good, it must be that the doctor's medical skills are not good enough."
He said softly, and at the same time took a blanket from the maid next to him, and personally put it on Du Wanxi: "Mother, are you better?" ”
He waved his hand, and someone got a signal, and hurriedly took out some of the ice cubes in the stove to reduce the cold.
After a few times, when there were only one or two pieces of ice left in the stove, she also drank several cups of hot tea, which was considered to be a relief.
"It's okay, thanks to your son, you bothered."
"That's what a son should do."
After a few pleasantries, she looked at the woman sitting in the painting boat, and a smile hooked the corner of her mouth.
The sharp-eyed saw Chi Bai and Chi Yan from inside.
Chi Bai probably didn't feel good when he fell into the water last time, so his face was pale, even if he was smeared with rouge gouache, he looked a little haggard.
Compared with the exquisitely dressed concubine next to her, who looks beautiful and moving, she is much inferior.
However, he was still wearing a white background silver flower.
In her previous life, she was also wearing this dress, and she looked quite elegant, but under the sun, the flowers embroidered with silver threads on her body seemed to be alive, vivid, and even more fascinating with dance.
It is covered with a gauze skirt, and it looks like a fairy flying from the nine heavens.
However, in the previous life, she couldn't dance, she danced at night, but she cleverly lit a lot of candles next to her, so the silver flowers on her body were illuminated in a warm color.
It's warm and comfortable to look at.
Because of this, she has been blessed with holy grace for a long time.
It's just that she fell into the lake a few days ago, but I'm afraid that the shadow of the water will be deeper, and I don't know if she can still dance on this dangling painting boat?
Looking at Chi Bai, whose face was pale and his steps were almost unsteady, Du Wanxi hooked the corners of his lips without a trace.
"Mother, drink tea."
Qiu Yue handed over a cup of tea, she took it with a smile, and drank a sip of warm tea into her stomach, full of warmth.
The new concubines sitting below don't have such good luck, and those with high seals can still have a seat, and those with low seals can only stand in the back.
Chi Bai was standing behind, followed by a little maid, with her pale face, as if she had been bullied by someone.
Du Wanxi smiled all over his face, turned his head to Zhan An and said, "You can swim in the lake." ”
At the sound of an order, the people outside the painting boat got the news, and a special master controlled the painting boat to slowly swim on the surface of the lake.
Gradually, the boat swam to the center of the lake, the breeze blew slowly, the ribbons hanging on the boat fluttered in the wind, the light yarn was slow, and the whole boat was exceptionally cool.
Zhan An laughed.
"My mother really has an idea, if she salutes on the main hall, I am afraid that I will be sweating all over my body, but now it is a lot more comfortable."
She smiled and nodded, looked at the concubines, and said softly, "Salute." ”
Qiu Yue shouted to the maids below, and the maids shouted to the great eunuchs below, and the great eunuchs shouted to the female officials in charge of etiquette.
A salute and several shouts.
But as soon as the words fell, the first batch of new concubines, who had already been instructed, stepped forward with a smile and saluted her respectfully.
His eyes were glued to Zhan An next to him.
If you come to salute and get a reward, if the Queen Mother personally appreciates the flowers, it is a great grace.
But there are hundreds of concubines here, and those people are unpredictable, so they simply don't think about this anymore, and keep watching Zhan An silently convey their feelings.
Zhan An didn't even look at them, just holding a cup of tea, occasionally taking a sip, and looking at the scenery outside the painting boat.
Outside, the green willows are shady, the green bamboo is lush, and the swans seem to feel the coldness around the boat, so they swim around.
There are palace people feeding the fish on the side of the painting boat, and he can just see the goldfish swimming slowly through the light yarn, sparkling all the way.
“……”
The new concubines looked at Zhan An unwillingly, but they could only retreat.
Du Wanxi waved his hand and asked the girl below to send them something.
It's all a reward prepared in advance, and it's not worth a few dollars, but it's also a great thing outside.
The men took it happily and retreated.
Such batches after batches, Du Wanxi is also boring.
Finally, Chi Bai and Chi Yan were in the same group and knelt on the ground to salute.
Her hands clenched slightly.
Looking at Chi Yan below, she was dressed exquisitely, just like in her previous life, but she couldn't get Zhan An a look.
She looked at Chi Bai, pondered for a moment, and raised her hand towards Qiu Yue.
This means to help her up.
"Queen Mother, there are still so many concubines you haven't seen, you have chosen?"
Qiu Yue helped her with a smile on her face: "I don't know which concubine is so blessed." ”
Du Wanxi walked up to Chi Bai and said in a cold tone: "Raise your head." ”
Chi Bai slowly raised his head, and when he saw her, his body trembled violently, as if he thought of the pain of drowning a few days ago, and his face turned a little pale.
"Too, the Queen Mother's ......"
She shouted cautiously, a little incredulous.
Unexpectedly, she was favored by the Queen Mother.
"You're a good kid, you look pretty pale, could it be that you're infected with the cold?"
While speaking, Du Wanxi picked up a golden hairpin and slowly inserted it into her bun.
This golden hairpin is carved with a phoenix tail, which ordinary talents can't wear.
Chi Bai's excited body trembled: "Thank you Queen Mother, concubine...... The concubines are just cold at night, and occasionally feel cold, so they don't get in the way. ”
Du Wanxi nodded, didn't say anything, and sat back.
Zhan An frowned after seeing it: "This person's temperament is too bad, why did my mother choose her?" ”
It's like being sick, sick, and not likable at all.
"All people want to dress up and be brilliant so that you can take a look at it more, only this person is prepared for talent."
Du Wanxi pursed her lips and smiled, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "You take a closer look at the clothes on her body, this kind of clothes can take a lot of effort, to embroider flowers with silver thread, and it can be folded into a beautiful light in the light, this woman is much more attentive than other women." ”
"Wait a minute, this woman will definitely dance for you, and you will know then."
Zhan An nodded thoughtfully.
If this is the case, then this woman is indeed much more prepared than other women.
"It's still a mother's careful."
There was only one hairpin in total, and it was gone after it was given.
Batch after batch of concubines stepped forward to bow down, and Du Wanxi only nodded.
There was a bright glint in her eyes, and she didn't care about these people.
If Chi Bai takes her hairpin, he will definitely gain momentum and dance, but dancing is not something that can be done well with enough momentum.
Dancing on top of the boat, she can't do it at all.
After all, she has the physique to get faint in the water when she walks on a boat.
Moreover, she can't dance but can get the reward of the queen mother, but I'm afraid that after she goes back, the people in the new concubine will see her as a thorn in her side.
Without much effort, someone will deal with Chi Bai for her.
