On March 12 of the second year of Jianning, Li Qingmu was invited to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]

Cai Xiang had the intention of dressing up Li Qingmu well, but Li Qingmu glared back. She didn't want to give herself a strong enemy too early, and the price of blood told her that it was self-inflicted to be too ostentatious in a foreign country.

In the end, Li Qingmu wore a lotus-colored high-necked palace dress and pulled the most common palace bun in the Dayue Palace. A few white hostas from Dashun were married, which not only showed her identity as the princess of Dashun, but also did not lose the status of Mrs. Dayue.

When Li Qingmu took the incense to the flower viewing pavilion in the imperial garden, the number of concubines in the harem had reached as many as half.

Empress Qin was sitting on the main seat of the Flower Viewing Pavilion and was chatting with a concubine.

Empress Qin wore a red bandeau palace dress, and the sleeves and neckline were embroidered with golden phoenixes. He wore a phoenix crown on his head, and a pendant made of ruby hung from the phoenix's mouth, embellished between the white eyebrows.

Empress Qin had a pair of single phoenix eyes, and the eyes were slightly raised. When you laugh, your eyebrows dance, and when you don't smile, you bring three points of majesty.

The concubine sitting beside Empress Qin wore a royal blue high-necked palace dress. The flowing cloud bun on the head, a phoenix hairpin is inserted alone, and the long tassel hangs down to the ear, and if you don't look closely, you think it is a unique earring.

Before he could get closer, Mama Ji on Li Qingmu's side had dutifully whispered, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, on the side of the queen is the Painting Liang Palace, that is, the Lord of the West Palace, Mrs. Yu. There is no wife in Nangong Yaohua Palace, and only one Wen Zhaoyi temporarily takes care of Nangong affairs. ”

Lady Yu is the Empress Liu of Emperor Shiyuan. After marrying Emperor Jianning as his wife, he changed his title to jade. When Lady Jade was alive in the lifetime of Emperor Shiyuan, her body was very weak. Now that I am no longer a queen, I have less work, and my body is slowly getting better.

Mama Ji is the Mama arranged by Empress Qin to Li Qingmu's side, specifically teaching Li Qingmu some etiquette in the Dayue royal family.

In the previous life, this Mama Ji was kicked out by Li Qingmu before she entered the Fengyang Palace. In this life, Li Qingmu treated her with great courtesy. Therefore, no matter what the real purpose of going to Fengyang Hall is, Mama Ji is conscientious on the surface.

"Zhaoyi, Zheng Erpin, I'm afraid that this Zhaoyi will be a lady if he rises one more liter." Cai Xiang asked on the side.

Mama Ji saw that Li Qingmu didn't reply, and she didn't pay attention to what Caixiang said.

Cai Xiang had dissatisfaction on her face, and glared at Mama Ji fiercely.

Leaning closer to the crowd, there were already low-level concubines curtsy to Li Qingmu. Every time someone stepped forward, Mama Ji would whisper to her side about the position of the concubine and which palace she was living in now.

Li Qingmu always had a gentle smile on his face, and he bowed his head slightly while listening, signaling that he had written it down.

When he got close to the Flower Pavilion, Balsam was already standing on the steps and saluted Li Qingmu, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhaoyue, the queen mother just came to ask if you will come over?" ”

Li Qingmu walked up to the flower viewing pavilion with the hand of picking incense, pursed his lips at the balsam and smiled without speaking.

A few days ago, the balsam went to the Fengyang Palace to say so toughly, if she really didn't go to this garden to be looked at by others today, wouldn't she make it clear that she didn't put Empress Qin in her eyes?

Holding Caixiang's hand to Queen Qin's side, Li Qingmu saluted and said softly, "The concubine asks the queen for peace." ”

Before Li Qingmu's knees could bend down, Queen Qin had already held her hand very affectionately, and Ying Ying smiled, "Good sister, get up quickly, your own sisters don't have to be polite." ”

Saying that, he turned around and smiled at Mrs. Yu, "Sister Zhaoyue went to the Guanju Palace that day to ask for peace in the palace, and the palace was unfortunately sick." I wanted to talk to Sister Zhaoyue on the second day, but I didn't want Sister Zhaoyue to seem to be childish with the palace, and she was sick for a month. ”

"How dare the concubines." Li Qingmu hurriedly put a frightened expression on his face and explained, "The concubine has been weak since she was a child, and her body has ......been weak."

Although Madame Yu is more than ten years older than Empress Qin, she looks like a sister to Empress Qin with cold eyes. However, if you look closely, you can still see that there are small wrinkles on the sides of her eyes that can't be covered by fat powder.

After listening to Empress Qin's words, Madam Yu got up and saluted Li Qingmu, and smiled at Empress Qin, "The queen mother will only tease Sister Zhaoyue, but the concubine is amazed by Sister Zhaoyue's appearance." I have heard that Sister Zhaoyue has the appearance of a captivating city, but now that it is really like this, it makes the flowers in the imperial garden gloomy......"

Pulling Li Qingmu's left hand and caressing it carefully, Mrs. Yu raised her slender eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Good sister, tell my sister what kind of gouache you use on weekdays, this skin is as tender as a newborn baby." ”

Li Qingmu had a touch of shyness on his face, lowered his head slightly, and whispered back to Mrs. Yu, "I don't use anything, but after bathing every day, when the water vapor on my body has not yet dissipated, I add a layer of balsamic vinegar and honey to apply it carefully, and then wash it after two quarters of an hour. ”

The first time Mrs. Yu heard such a method of taking care of her skin, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes with curiosity, "It's just that acetic acid, I'm afraid I can't wash it off." ”

"The vinegar made from the fruit, wash it more and go down," Li Qingmu raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Yu, and smiled softly, "It's okay if you can't wash it, but it adds a hint of fruity fragrance to the body, which is very fresh......"

"Sister. You patronized and gossiped with Sister Zhaoyue, but you didn't even let her sit down and talk. ”

Because Mrs. Yu was the empress of the first emperor and was older than Queen Qin, Queen Qin always respected Mrs. Yu as a sister.

While speaking, Empress Qin had already asked the little palace maid to put a small table on her left side.

Mrs. Yu smiled at Li Qingmu and said, "It's my sister, I know that you are weak, but I always pull you to talk non-stop." ”

"It's so weak." Li Qingmu smiled back, "It's okay to stand for a while." ”

After Li Qingmu and Madame Yu sat down on the side of Empress Qin, the three highest-ranking women in the Great Moon Harem had already arrived.

After Li Qingmu sat down, her beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she took in the flower-dressed concubines standing outside the flower pavilion one by one. And those concubines were all curious to look at her with their spare eyes.

After seeing a few familiar faces, Li Qingmu took back her beautiful eyes and lowered her head to straighten the lotus lotus skirt.

Madam Yu looked at Li Qingmu without a trace, and smiled with Empress Qin, "Queen Mother, Sister Zhaoyue's rare good character." It's not like those princesses in our palace, who are very stubborn. ”

"They're still young." Empress Qin took the beauty fan handed over by the balsam, and after slapping it a few times, she said, "When they are ready and choose a colt, their temperament will be restrained." ”

Li Qingmu raised her eyes and smiled at Mrs. Yu, and lowered her head again as if she was shy.

"Speaking ......of horses," Madame Jade chuckled, "the third princess has reached the age of choosing a horse, and the concubine remembers that she will be married in June this year." ”

"My sister has a good memory." Empress Qin replied, "The third princess is almost over, and in a few days, the palace really wants to discuss with the emperor when this concubine will be selected." Has the princess's mansion been built? ”

"It's built." Madame Yu nodded and replied, "It is built in Bacheng, which is thousands of miles away from the capital, and when she gets married, she can take her three colts to live together." ”

In the big moon, a princess has the right to recruit three horses, the standard one main room and two side rooms.

"Speaking of choosing a concubine...... Queen Qin's beautiful eyes turned and pulled the topic to Li Qingmu's body, "Sister Zhaoyue, you are married to Dashun, I don't know how the princess of Dashun chose the concubine?" ”

Li Qingmu smiled, "Back to the queen's words, I heard the concubine's mother say in the early years that when choosing a horse, the princes of the families in the capital will be invited to the palace, and the princess of the right age will sit behind the curtain to watch." If there is a ...... in the picture"

"Just stayed?" Madame Yu answered curiously, "That's it?" ”

Li Qingmu shook his head and smiled at Mrs. Yu, "If you have a match, then take the princess and the son's birthday to meet, if it is suitable, the emperor will give marriage, and when the princess and Lu are married, they will marry out of the palace." ”

"Don't test knowledge, don't test martial arts?" Empress Qin asked.

Li Qingmu shook his head again.

Dashun's concubine does not participate in politics, he just needs to please the princess. What kind of knowledge and martial arts are not considered.

Dayue is different, the princess's three concubines must be able to be civil and martial, they must go to the court to discuss politics, and when necessary, they must lead troops to go to battle.

Dashun's horse and princess can be regarded as a real couple for a lifetime. No matter which of the two parties dies young, the other will not marry the other.

And Da Yue, the three concubines in the princess's mansion, can have their own concubines and girls, but they are not allowed to have children. If the colt dies early, the princess can remarry. And if the princess dies early without giving birth to an heir, the concubine can remarry.

In general, Dashun chose a horse for the princess, and chose someone who spent the same life with the princess. And Otsuki's choice of a horse for the princess is more of a political relationship between the royal family and the family. Coming together because of interests, it has nothing to do with people. The phoenix of the concubine is updated quickly

In the court of Dayue, there was a civil official surnamed Wei who started step by step from the position of a concubine, and finally became a pivotal figure in the court.

After listening to Li Qingmu's words, Empress Qin and Madam Yu couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts.

The princess of a country actually wants to marry a straw bag who can't be civil or martial.

After sitting for a while, Mrs. Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled at Li Qingmu, "It's still a good blessing for Sister Zhaoyue, married to the best man in the Dayue Dynasty." ”

Li Qingmu glanced at Mrs. Yu with distracted eyes, and smiled at Empress Qin, "Look, Queen Mother, Sister Yu is saying that she married the best man in Dayue." ”

"Sharp-toothed." Mrs. Yu patted Li Qingmu with the beauty fan in her hand, and said with a smile to Queen Qin, "Queen Mother, Sister Zhaoyue can talk like this, and I am not afraid of being bored in the future." ”

Empress Qin took Li Qingmu's hand and whispered, "It's a trivial matter whether you speak or not, and the big thing is when Sister Zhaoyue can give birth to a prince for the emperor and spread the branches for the royal family." This palace and Sister Yu are not angry, and they can only hope that you will blossom and bear fruit as soon as possible...... "A more will be offered."
