I can't figure it out, honey. Peach, more. Mao is also forbidden? Why??? How are these two words discordant.

Concubine Lin De and Mrs. Duanyao were both defeated, and the six princes' manna was taken over by Concubine Jing in the end, because Concubine Hui was said to be very tossed, although she couldn't come back for the time being, but the six princes couldn't be left unattended, so that afternoon, Concubine Jing simply cleaned up and took a few people from Jinyun Palace to the palace.
The Queen Mother was in a bad mood, Qi Yun and Huo Qinglian couldn't stop persuading, Su Ruhui and others echoed, and proposed to summon Princess Rongshou to accompany her, which made the Queen Mother nod.
Princess Rongshou was personally sent by the Xu family this time, because Ganmei was going to the study.
Xu Shi was wearing a dark iron embroidered shirt, revealing a royal blue skirt inside, the hairpin ring was simple, and there was even only a small velvet flower inserted in the sideburns, her outfit, not to mention the palace concubine, even many aunts with a better face were more glamorous than her, the queen mother has always liked bright colors, but she didn't show displeasure when she saw her wearing it like this, but just called Rong Shou to her side to take a look.
Princess Rongshou only saw the Queen Mother yesterday, so she didn't need to look up to ask Xu this time, she happily threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms. Today's little princess is wearing a purple dress, with a large cluster of peony flowers pierced with dark needles, only when she moves, she can glimpse it at a glance, and the twisted edge is outlined with gold thread to outline the lifelike flowers and leaves, Rongshou's soft fetal hair is tied with a red silk, and a longevity lock is tied with a red silk around her neck, which falls squarely on her chest.
This long-life lock is not gold or jade, but it is made of general-sized eastern beads, which is indescribably jeweled.
Princess Rongshou's glamorous dress contrasts sharply with Xu's, which makes Xu's not like her mother, but as if she is her grandmother.
The Queen Mother looked at the princess carefully, teased her a few words, and then raised her head with emotion and said to Xu: "I have also suffered you in the past few years." β
"The Queen Mother's words make the concubines embarrassed." Xu's eyebrows were low, he only felt tame, but not humble, and said calmly, "The concubine was greatly favored by the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and was able to raise the Fourth Highness and Princess Rongshou in a humble position, this is the blessing of the concubine, where can I feel bitter?" Saying that, Xu Shi actually got up and left his seat, solemnly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and said, "The concubine is dull, but although the Fourth Highness is silent, his heart is excellent, and the Queen Mother is invited to learn from it." β
The Queen Mother wanted to speak and stopped, but looked at the people around and said, "Lian'er, you take Rongshou out for a walk, and the mourning family has something to say to Xu Cairen." β
"Yes!" Huo Qinglian hurriedly responded, and withdrew from the Detai Hall with Su Ruhui and others, leaving only Qi Yun to serve inside.
Princess Rongshou is not used to being close to people, although the little Huo family was almost next to her when the Queen Mother saw her, but she didn't tease her much, so she struggled a little when she was hugged by Huo Qinglian.
It was still the county lord of Danzhu who had been coaxing Gan Pei in the past, and hurriedly took a string of coral beads in his hand in front of her to lead her to see it, so that Rong Shou didn't cry and left the palace.
Because they didn't know when the Queen Mother would be able to finish talking to the Xu family, they didn't dare to go far, so they stood outside, and the autumn wind blew for a while, and Princess Rongshou's little face turned a little pale.
Su Ruhui hurriedly said: "It's better to go to the warm pavilion and wait, don't catch the princess cold." β
The lord of Danzhu used to live in the East Warm Pavilion, and he was familiar with the way, and when he entered the Warm Pavilion and sat down, everyone picked up some fruits on the table to coax the princess. Princess Rongshou abandoned the coral strings of the county lord of Danzhu at this time, and just grabbed the big peach on the table.
Huo Qinglian quickly stopped her with a quick hand, laughed and shouted: "Little princess, there are many peaches on this. Mao, carefully scratched the itch on the hand! So saying, he asked people to take down the peaches, wash them, and then bring them to play with the princess.
It's just that Princess Rongshou was ignorant, and when she saw that someone stopped her and took things away, she was about to cry as soon as her mouth was flattened. A few of them have been pampered since childhood, and they are raised by the queen mother to look at their faces, which is also to give a little face everywhere, where have they ever had the experience of coaxing children?
The county lord of Danzhu took an orange and peeled it and fed it to Rong Shou to eat a petal, so that she swallowed back her cry, but just looked at Huo Qinglian's unspeakable grievances with hatred.
Huo Qinglian couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "I had good intentions, but I was annoyed by the princess!" β
"Princess Rongshou is young." Su Ruhui persuaded with a smile, but Princess Rongshou stared at the ringing bell on her head and babbled, but this ringing bell was not given by the Queen Mother at the beginning, but what the Su family asked her to bring into the palace this time, it was made of jade, and it was filled with silver beads, and the timbre was crisp and sweet, and it jingled with every step. When Su Ruhui saw it, she dismantled it and handed it over without saying a word.
Princess Rongshou took it in her hand and suddenly looked much better, and she didn't eat oranges anymore, but just lowered her head and fiddled.
Seeing this, several people pushed Su Ruhua and said: "It's still like a painting, and if you touch something on your body, you will like it, where is it useless to coax us for a long time." β
Su Ruhui laughed at each other with them, and it took more than half an hour for a little palace maid outside to come in and say that the Xu family was going to find Princess Rongshou to go back.
Princess Rongshou also pinched the bell when she left, but it was just a headdress, Su Ruhui would not bother with her, so she took it.
"It's time for the autumn wind to pick up again." Huo Qinglian stood under the corridor and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of wind, and said with a smile.
Zhou Yi'er was reminded of her words: "Sister Huo's words reminded me of the time when I first entered the palace." As he spoke, he said, "The golden sea under the stage of Luming is full of frost every year. Live up to the splendid Double Ninth Period, and burn all over the south of the imperial city overnight. β
"Hey, who wrote this?" Huo Qinglian said curiously, "You were only eight years old when you entered the palace?" I only knew a few words. β
"Where's me?" Zhou Yi'er pursed her lips and pointed at Su Ruhui with a smile, "The most famous female talent in our palace is this one!" β
Huo Qinglian is beautiful, but she is not very good at learning, so she can't hear the poems at all, but Su Ruhua learned from Xue Ziyan She knew it, so she immediately praised: "It's worthy of being a female history protΓ©gΓ©, but for so many years, Ruhua has not had a few poems, why don't we go to Lumingtai again and let her write again!" β
Lord Danzhu followed and coaxed: "If that's the case, it's better to let Sister Rue write us in!" β
"Sister Huo and the county lord spare me!" Su Ruhui suddenly cried out, "Where can I compare with my master and brother?" β
was laughing, but saw Huang Zhiyuan coming from the corridor with a group of people carrying something.
"Grandpa Huang!" Huang Zhiyuan is the deputy chief, and he is different from ordinary internal supervisors, so even Huo Qinglian nodded to him and took the initiative to greet him, Su Ruhui and the others turned their eyes, and saw Huang Zhiyuan speed up a few steps and salute, and said with a smile: "Yo, the county lord and the young ladies happen to be here?" The slave just asked, does the Queen Mother have time at this time? β
"The Queen Mother just talked to Xu Cairen for a while, and now that the Tao is tired and is about to rest, does Gonggong Huang have something to tell?" Huo Qinglian smiled, "I'm about to go back." β
"Miss Huo Qi is not busy leaving, if you go, the Queen Mother will have to summon you back after a while." Huang Zhiyuan smiled and pointed behind him, "It's the tribute orange from the Yue Kingdom that has come up, and the Queen Mother loves a few people, so she must give them to a few first, but isn't she just waiting here?" β
Danzhu clapped his hands and smiled: "Just now I was holding oranges to tease Rongshou, but I didn't expect it to be sent again at this time." β
"The oranges in Yue Country are sweeter than the one just now, and it seems that they were paid by Qi State just now." Zhou Yi'er said.
Originally, even if they left first, the Queen Mother would send someone to send it separately, or let someone come to pick it up next time, but since they were happy, several people waited on the corridor with great interest for Huang Zhiyuan to go in and pay their respects.
