Chapter 210: Ruolan
On the first day of the first month of the fourth year of Jianning, Emperor Jianning gave the harem concubines a reward. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
Because Emperor Jianning gave Li Qingmu a string of jade bracelets polished by novices last year, Li Qingmu has special expectations for this year's reward.
Holding back the smile on his face, Li Qingmu carried the tray containing the reward to the dormitory.
After sending Cai Xiang and Wen Qing out, she looked closely at a phoenix hairpin made of gold with a ruby pendant, a pair of agate bracelets, and a jade pendant of fine color carved with a phoenix.
The ruby phoenix hairpin is a long-term object in the palace, and I can't see anything.
Li Qingmu set his eyes on the pair of agate bracelets and the jade pendant carved with a phoenix.
She closed her beautiful eyes and held the bracelet in her hand and touched it carefully. Feeling the smoothness and coldness of the tentacles, Li Qingmu wanted to find flaws in it.
Emperor Jianning has a lot of opportunities, and it is impossible to practice the craft of grinding jade every day, and the things he polishes will definitely have shortcomings.
Li Qingmu touched the pair of jade bracelets several times in a row, but failed to touch the slightest flaw, and finally put them down.
She took the jade pendant in her hand again and touched it carefully, but as soon as she got her hands, she put it down.
The phoenix carving on the jade pendant is vivid, as it is true, and it cannot be from the handwriting of Emperor Jianning.
Disappointment rose in his heart, and Li Qingmu's good mood was gone.
She repeatedly said to herself in her heart that Emperor Jianning, as an emperor, was so busy, Xu forgot about it, and Xu didn't have time.
The two are tired of being together almost every day, but there are no gifts and nothing.
After saying such words to himself over and over again, Li Qingmu's heart calmed down slightly.
But when her beautiful eyes inadvertently swept to the tray containing the reward, nameless annoyance suddenly surged into her heart, and she was overwhelmed.
Cai Xiang and Wen Qing walked in from the outside, Cai Xiang was holding a pale green palace dress in her hands, and Wen Qing was holding a pure white cloak made of fox skin.
"Princess, you should have enough fun stealing." Cai Xiang said with a teasing smile, "Hurry up and change your clothes, you have to go to the Guan Ju Palace to greet the queen." ”
Li Qingmu took the Jinpa off his face, and remembered that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he asked the concubines of the harem to go to the Guanju Palace to greet the queen.
She was in lockdown last year, so she skipped the process.
said that it was to invite peace, but in fact, it was to bring the jewelry newly rewarded by Emperor Jianning, and it was just a matter of fighting beauty.
After Wen Qing put down the cloak, she walked to the bed, looked at the phoenix hairpin with the ruby as the pendant and smiled, "Master, this phoenix hairpin is really gorgeous." ”
Cai Xiang walked in front of Li Qingmu, took Li Qingmu's hand and helped Li Qingmu up, and said, "Princess, if you don't change your clothes, it's too late, although you don't need to arrive early as a lady, it shouldn't be too late." ”
Li Qingmu sighed, stood up, and asked for incense and Wenqing to change his clothes.
The pale green palace dress brought by Cai Xiang is more solemn than the palace dress on weekdays, and it is three points more noble to wear on the body. The baby pink embroidered butterflies and the gorgeous brocade ribbon embellished with broken jade soften the strength of the palace costume and outline the tenderness of the little daughter.
Otsuki doesn't have such a thing as a grade hairpin, and the things he brings are rarely graded. I want others to see the dignity and humility just from the dress, and all look at the beauty of the costumes.
So Wen Qing gave Li Qingmu a high bun and wore a beaded jade. The phoenix hairpin newly rewarded by Emperor Jianning is the most conspicuous place on the right bun.
Qingdai thrush, rouge lips, and a little peach blossom pollen, so that Li Qingmu's face was tender and white with a hint of ruddy.
Two green jade earrings were dotted on the side of the ear, trembling slightly with the movement, falling on the cheeks, generating a slight coolness.
After dressing up, Cai Xiang draped the fox fur cloak on Li Qingmu's shoulders, and took a small hand stove for Li Qingmu to hold in his arms.
As soon as he stepped out of Fengyang Palace, Li Qingmu looked at the hot sun in the sky and said to Cai Xiang, "Today, it's quite warm." ”
The big moon is short in winter, the weather is changeable, when there is rain, the cold wind blows, the cold enters the heart, and when there is no rain, the sun comes out, just like spring.
Cai Xiang glanced at the dripping leak in the main hall, and said to Li Qingmu, "Princess, hurry up, it's too late." ”
Li Qingmu nodded, and took Cai Xiang and Yao Yuan to the Guan Ju Palace.
At this time, the Guan Ju Palace was already full of concubines. They are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, full of pearls.
Seeing that Li Qingmu was coming, they all gave Li Qingmu a blessing to say goodbye, and then got out of the way and went straight to the innermost part of the palace.
The dark air is blowing, and at the end of the path lined with red brocade, there is a jade lady in a beautiful dress standing in Shenghua.
Madame Yu was wearing a blue palace dress, the style was the same as what Li Qingmu was wearing, but in terms of color, she was three points calmer, which matched Madame Yu's age.
Holding the high bun, the hair ornament on the bun showed a purple jade step with the stars holding the moon.
When Mrs. Yu saw Li Qingmu, she took a few steps forward, took Li Qingmu's hand cordially, swept her eyes over the ruby phoenix hairpin, and smiled softly, "The emperor rewarded my sister's phoenix hairpin, it is really gorgeous." ”
Li Qingmu pursed her lips and smiled, held Mrs. Yu's hand back, and said with a smile, "Sister's purple jade step shake is really beautiful, crystal clear, really good-looking." ”
Wen Zhaoyi pulled Liu Zhaorong and smiled, pointed at Mrs. Yu and Li Qingmu and said with a smile, "Look at these two people, they started ...... again."
Liu Zhaorong burst out laughing, glanced at Li Qingmu with his eyes, and didn't go aside.
As she was talking, Empress Qin came out with her hand holding the balsam.
It's not one person, there are two beauties behind Queen Qin, Qin Ruolan and Lu Miaoer.
Queen Qin was pregnant, wearing a red wide-body palace dress, with a short bun on her head, and an unusually gorgeous Baotou phoenix hairpin, and the pendant hanging down from the phoenix's mouth was a string of pearls with round color.
Qin Ruolan's dress is very delicate and charming, wearing a tender pink tight-waisted palace dress, with a flowing cloud bun on her head, although she is not a concubine, there are a lot of beads on her hair bun, and she has to fight with the concubines who are in the position of a five-grade lady.
Lu Miaoer's dress is decent, with a lilac tight-fitting palace dress, which is also a flowing cloud bun, but only has two green jade hairpins.
After Empress Qin sat down on the treasure chair, Qin Ruolan stood firm behind Empress Qin, and Lu Miao'er lowered her head and walked to the side of the balm.
Empress Qin glanced back at Qin Ruolan, her eyes stained with anger. Balsam hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Qin Ruolan to his side, and faced Qin Ruolan's fierce eyes, bowed his head and endured.
After the concubines and concubines were invited to sit down, Empress Qin first chatted with Mrs. Yu and Li Qingmupi without smiling, and after drinking half a cup of tea, she called Qin Ruolan and Lu Miaoer to her side, and smiled warmly at the people below, "These two, sisters have already met at the palace banquet yesterday. This is Ruolan, the sister of the palace, and this is Miao'er, the cousin of the palace. The palace is pregnant and thinks of relatives, and the emperor specially allows them to enter the palace to accompany the palace......"
Madame Jade lowered her eyes, and the corners of her mouth provoked sarcasm. When she was pregnant, her sister also came into the palace to accompany her, and never went out again.
Li Qingmu's beautiful eyes swept over Qin Ruolan and Lu Miao'er, and smiled at Queen Qin, "Queen Mother, are you two flower-like sisters, but are you on loan?" If it is a loan, the concubine wants to pull them cordially. ”
Empress Qin smiled, pointed at Li Qingmu and smiled at Qin Ruolan and Lu Miao'er, "This is Mrs. Zhaoyue." ”
Lu Miao'er Yingying walked in front of Li Qingmu, and after making a palace salute to Li Qingmu in a regular manner, she said with a smile, "Miao'er greets Mrs. Zhaoyue." ”
Qin Ruolan also walked in front of Li Qingmu, bowed sideways, smiled softly, and said, "Ruolan greets Mrs. Zhaoyue." ”
The concubines salute each other, which is nothing more than a formal ceremony and a flat ceremony. Civilians of no rank salute their concubines and bow on their knees.
Lu Miaoer, as the daughter of the family, is a concubine and a concubine, and gives Li Qingmu a formal salute, which is not considered to be a courtesy or self-promotion.
Qin Ruolan's side salute made Li Qingmu not know where the ceremony came from. In Dashun, only when the princess salutes the concubine, will she bow sideways.
Seeing this, Madam Yu laughed coquettishly, raised her eyebrows at Empress Qin and said, "Queen Mother, your sister has some meaning. Salute Mrs. Zhaoyue, and actually use the etiquette of saluting Sister Shu......"
Empress Qin's face became gloomy because of Madam Yu's words, and she knew that Qin Ruolan didn't put Li Qingmu in her eyes. Not only did she not put Li Qingmu in her eyes, but even after her, a country, she didn't put it in her eyes.
When Qin Ruolan first came to Guan Ju Palace to salute her, she did a side salute.
"Sister Shu......" Li Qingmu raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her eyes to look at Queen Qin's face, and asked with a smile at Qin Ruolan, "This sister, this palace is your sister-in-law?" ”
Qin Ruolan stood up straight, smiled charmingly at Li Qingmu, and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyue looks like a fairy, Ruolan feels kind when she sees it, and she thinks that it would be good if she had such a sister." Thinking about it, it was rude, and I hope that Mrs. Zhaoyue will not be surprised......"
"Queen Mother, Sister Ruolan is really sharp-toothed." Mrs. Yu added fuel to the fire, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Since I feel kind and want to have such a sister, why don't you do a formal ceremony, but a side salute." Mrs. Zhaoyue, but the princess of Dashun, in the end, who is low, and who is exalted? ”
Madam Yu's words were ruthless, but they didn't make Qin Ruolan's face rise with the slightest panic.
Qin Ruolan turned around lightly, bowed slightly to Mrs. Yu, and said with a soft smile, "This big sister is right, it's Ruolan who doesn't know how to measure. ”
The heavy 'big' word was deliberately bitten, which made Mrs. Yu's silver teeth bite secretly. Qin Ruolan was obviously saying that she was old and decrepit, and Qin Ruolan didn't salute her.
Qin Ruolan didn't see the anger in Mrs. Yu's eyes, turned around and knelt down to Li Qingmu, and said, "Ruolan greets Mrs. Zhaoyue, Ruolan has just entered the palace and doesn't know the etiquette in the palace, so please don't be surprised by Mrs. Zhaoyue." ”
Li Qingmu raised his eyebrows and asked Cai Xiang to help him up. Qin Ruolan can bend and stretch, and her mind is not ordinary.
"Sister Ruolan is so cute." Li Qingmu raised his eyes and smiled at Empress Qin, and said, "The Empress Mother is really a blessing. ”
Empress Qin's face had returned to normal, and she smiled back at Li Qingmu and said, "If Lady Zhaoyue thinks she is good, then take her away." Although Ruolan has been pampered since she was a child, she can still do some things to serve tea and pour water. ”
"Where does the concubine dare to let Sister Ruolan do those rough work, she is Miss Shijia'......"
"Sister Zhaoyue, don't be disgusted," Qin Ruolan smiled affectionately at Li Qingmu, "Let Ruolan go to Sister Zhaoyue's palace." As he spoke, he looked back at Empress Qin and said very seriously, "Sister Queen, Fengkou Jinyan, you won't regret it, right?" ”
