"Oh?" Xiao and the Empress Dowager thought about it, and nodded after a while, "There is indeed such a bracelet." ”

"Why don't slaves feel dazzled?" Lingxi's heart was beating wildly, but he said with a smile on his face, "A very common bracelet, the slave maid once got the same one before entering the palace. It was a reward from the uncle and wife, because the family was poor, so he was left at home to live. ”

"That's it," Mama An continued with a smile, "The talented person is already a noble person in the palace, and although his food and clothing are not as fine as the favored concubines, he is not inferior in the end. She was wearing silk and satin, with a beaded and emerald headband, but she wore such a gilded twisted bracelet that only ordinary people had in their homes, and she couldn't do it without eye-catching. ”

Lingxi showed a look of sudden realization on her face, and flattered Mama An, "Mama is still careful, and the slave maid only put her eyes on the shawl." ”

"That's a bit of a stretch, the weather in October is not the height of summer, and the arms of talented people are really ......white."

"Exactly." Mama An bowed slightly.

It is not a big deal for the palace concubines to wear the jewelry at home, and no one is allowed to wear it, but they are generally very cautious, for fear of causing trouble. Like a talented person, when he gave a gift to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, he deliberately showed a pair of white arms, and there were really not many people who showed the bracelet in front of everyone. Especially now that it's October weather, the sleeves of the talented person slide down so naturally, it can only be said that she has calculated it in advance.

"The slave is stupid," Lingxi helped Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, and said softly, "There is no one else in this peony pavilion, what do talented people do?" ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe shook her head gently, "It's not that you are stupid, and the mourning family didn't understand this matter." Who is she doing this? ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe raised her hand towards Zhiqiu, and Zhiqiu held the handkerchief given by the talented person before into the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe. The square handkerchief was small, and in addition to embroidering a bright red peony with multicolored silk threads, a colorful bird was embroidered among the blooming peony buds. Its bird spreads its wings among the stamens, as if it does not fly, and its demeanor is vivid and vivid.

The spirit rhino only glanced at it and lowered its head, the bird on the veil was a lark. And Lingxi and her sister both have a spirit character in their names.

"I have to say that the needlework is really good," Mama Ann praised heartily, "and the little bird really looked like it was about to fly off the veil." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe handed the handkerchief to Zhiqiu again, held Lingxi's hand firmly, and sighed with the old man, "Let her go, Empress Zhu is in charge of this harem matter, and she can't toss it if she forgives her." ”

Zhiqiu took the handkerchief, took Zhishui to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager for a blessing, and went back to Yongshou Palace to prepare tea and pastries.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe turned around and asked Lingxi, "Are you still thinking about embroidering the curtain cloth?" After looking at the veil, do you want to embroider the bird as well? ”

Lingxi showed a look of frustration on her face, and replied in an indifferent but mischievous voice, "Don't mention it, Niangniang, I want to embroider that bird alive with the craftsmanship of the slave, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get my ten fingers shut." The slave might as well embroider a cuckoo directly, and the blood is really crying......"

"You're poor!" The Empress Dowager Xiaohe smiled and said, "Since you are gone, you are not allowed to be lazy, the mourning family doesn't care how you cry blood, anyway, you have to embroider the cuckoo for the mourning family, otherwise the mourning family will not follow ......."

"Ling'er can't escape this time~" Mama An said with a smile.

Qian Weishi also smiled on the side, "Ling'er is smart, and she will definitely embroider as if it were true, so that the Empress Dowager will be satisfied." ”

"Oops!" Lingxi snorted coquettishly, and said to Qian Weishi, "Father-in-law Qian, you also come to make fun of the slave." ”

Zhou An covered his mouth and snickered, and whispered to Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager, "Niangniang, look, this is unforgiving~"

As soon as Zhou An's words came out, Xiaohe and the Empress Dowager and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs all laughed loudly.

Lingxi's embroidery skills are not good, and this blood-weeping cuckoo naturally wants to find someone who understands to learn from it. And the person who taught the scriptures was the talented person who lived in the Half Moon Pavilion of Guangyang Palace.

When Lingxi just stepped into the palace gate of Guangyang Palace wearing a pink palace costume and a suitable smile on his face, the three masters who lived in Guangyang Palace were all shocked. So much so that she had only walked a few steps on the Liuling Stone Road leading to the Half Moon Pavilion, and was stopped by Yue Jieyu who came from the other side.

Yue Jieyu was wearing a red palace dress of the concubine, with a cloud bun on her head, a small and delicate sticky emerald bead flower on her left sideburns, and a clear dripping water on her right sideburns. When he saw Lingxi, he said from afar, "Isn't this the Ling'er girl in the Yongshou Palace?" ”

Lingxi knew that Yue Jieyu's appearance here was not accidental, so she turned around and greeted Yue Jieyu and saluted, "Slave and maid see Yue Jieyu, Yue Jieyu Wan'an." ”

"Hurry up, please," Yue Jieyu and Lingxi were separated by three steps, and stretched out her slender jade hand to help them through the void.

Lingxi stood up after thanking the kindness, and said to Yue Jieyu, "The slave is going to the Half Moon Pavilion, a few days ago, the talented person gave the Empress Dowager a fine handkerchief, and the slave saw that the stitches were meticulous, so she dared to come and ask for a trick with the talented people." ”

Yue Jieyutao smiled and nodded slightly, "No, Sister Xian's needlework is really unmatched." A few days ago, he gave me a purse, which is really beautiful, and I hang it on my body day and night, which is very rare. I don't know how to embroider, I'm afraid I can't embroider that delicate appearance even if I ask for patterns. ”

Lingxi replied with a light smile, "The slave maid is not skillful, I just want to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and I am satisfied if I can have three points of Shen Yun slave and maid." ”

"That's the same reason, then I'll accompany Miss Ling'er to take a walk to the talented people," Yue Jieyu said and walked in front to lead the way, not giving Lingxi a chance to refuse at all, "I haven't seen Sister Xian for a few days, so I'm just going to take a look." ”

Yue Jieyu took two palace maids, and Lingxi just crossed the jade arch bridge under the weeping willows, and met Lan Meiren who lived in Guangyang Palace.

After a few words of greeting, Lan Meiren had a hint of arrogance on her face, and said with a coquettish smile, "Then I won't accompany Sister Yue over, yesterday Concubine Ying asked me to go to enjoy chrysanthemums with me today, and I will go." ”

Concubine Ying was originally a good lady in the prince's mansion and had a daughter named Qingman, who is ten years old this year and the second daughter of Emperor Yong'an.

A trace of discomfort flashed in Yue Jieyu's heart, although she was in the position of the fourth grade Jieyu, she was not favored by the concubines with high ranks. Yue Jieyu only smiled and said, "Sister Nalan is going to be tighter, and it will be time to pass the meal in three minutes." ”

Lan Meiren bowed to Yue Jieyu and said, "Sister Lao Yue is worried, my sister is going to eat in Concubine Ying's palace today, and Concubine Ying Niangniang also called her sister to feed the golden fish together." I heard that the golden fish was a tribute from the Wei State the year before last, and its color is gorgeous, and it is really better than the goldfish......"

As she spoke, Lan Meiren stopped talking, and after Meimu looked at Yue Jieyu's face, a smile similar to apology rose at the corner of her mouth, "My sister is taunted, I think my sister must have seen it, so my sister went first." ”

Yue Jieyu naturally hadn't seen it, and Lan Meiren said that it was a provocation that didn't see the smoke of gunpowder. Yue Jieyu's hand was hidden in the sleeve, her nails were fiercely buttoned into her palm, but she urged with a smile on her face, "You talk a lot, you said this in plain language, why don't you go quickly, do you want Concubine Ying to wait for you?" ”

Lan Meiren covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, turned to leave, leaving only a wisp of fragrance.

After Lan Meiren walked away, Lingxi, who had been blessed, stood up straight. When Yue Jieyu was talking to Lan Meiren, Lan Meiren never let Lingxi get up, and Lingxi, as a minion, naturally did not dare to trespass.

With such a toss, Yue Jieyu and Lingxi stepped into the Half Moon Pavilion a quarter of an hour later than Lingxi expected. At this time, the talented person was sitting in the corridor in front of the Half Moon Pavilion embroidering a purse, and a young palace maid was standing beside her to divide the colorful silk threads.

The palace maid saw Yue Jieyu and Lingxi coming, and hurriedly walked to the corridor, "The slave maid asks Yue Jieyu for peace." ”

After Yue Jieyu asked her to get up, she blessed Lingxi again, and Lingxi also blessed and returned the salute.

The talented person was concentrating on embroidering flowers, and when she heard the voice of the little palace maid, she hurriedly got up, but she didn't want to embroider the tip of the needle, so she punctured her index finger at once, and a drop of blood fell on the purse that had not yet been embroidered, dyeing the cloth red.

Seeing this, Yue Jieyu hurriedly walked over, took the hand of the talented man and frowned and said, "If you are not careful like this, why are you so afraid?" ”

The talented person took Yue Jieyu's hand, and said in a gentle voice after blessing, "My sister is timid, let my sister laugh ......."

He also said to Lingxi, who was standing under the cloister and gave her a blessing, "Miss Ling'er get up quickly, you don't need to be so restrained here." ”

"Xie Xian talented." Lingxi thanked him and got up.

The talented man let go of Yue Jieyu's hand, walked down the corridor and pulled up Lingxi's without hesitation, his hand trembled slightly, and asked, "Miss Ling'er come in and talk, although it is late autumn, the sun is still very roasted this morning." ”

Yue Jieyu picked up the handsome person who was embroidering the purse and said, "Didn't my sister say that the purse was embroidered enough a few days ago?" Why did I embroider it again today, and I didn't pay attention to my eyes. ”

There was a hint of dodge on the face of the talented person, and she only said, "Concubine Rou said that she doesn't like cherry blossoms, but prefers pink hibiscus." ”

Concubine Rou is the cousin of Empress Lin, and has a son named Li Lingfeng, the second son of Emperor Yong'an.

"Didn't Concubine Rou Niangniang say last time that she liked cherry blossoms?" A trace of anger flashed in Yue Jieyu's eyes, "Why do you like Furong again after only a few days of hard work?" ”

The talented man took Jieyu's hand back and took Jieyu's hand, obviously not wanting to talk about it in front of Lingxi.

Yue Jieyu secretly scolded the talented people in her heart for being useless, Lingxi is the most powerful palace maid around the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, if she can say a few good words for the talented people in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaohe, then the talented people don't have to be bullied by others everywhere in the palace.

Xiancai's thoughts are different from Yue Jieyu's, she only held Lingxi's hand and never let go, just like Lingxi would disappear as soon as she let go.

Lingxi's hand was held by the talented man, and his heart trembled.
