Cui Guifei responded to the request of the King of Han, and the two had lunch in a friendly manner, and took Ruan Miaoling to Queen Li's palace in the second half of the night.

As soon as you enter the door, it is like arriving at a sea of flowers, this season has already entered the late autumn, the grass is withered and the leaves are yellow, but Queen Li here seems to be out of season.

The grass grew green, and the flowers in the pots and beds grew fat, as if they had eaten the whole autumn rain into their stomachs, and they were pulling branches and leaves vigorously. The slender flower is not bad, it has become a graceful posture, and it really responds to the words in the word, 'it should be green, fat, red and thin'.

Cui Guifei was slightly sore, supported by Qinghua, and stepped heavily on the ground with her feet.

"Mother's feet hurt." The blue bird persuaded in a soft voice, "Today, the slave maid will keep the scenery here in mind, go back and talk to the little palace maid who raises flowers, and will plant exactly the same one for the mother." ”

Cui Guifei snorted, "You can give me a rest of this thought." ”

Chunhua echoed, "What is in other people's bowls is always fragrant, and when you get it in your own hands, there is no taste and no taste." ”

"I'm not talking about flowers, how to talk about eating." Chunniao was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Niangniang and Chunhua teamed up to bury people......"

"Miss Bilan, do you recognize the flowers and plants here?"

Ruan Miaoling hooked a clump of unnamed vines on her toes, and was looking at it carefully, and was unexpectedly asked by Cui Guifei, "Hui Niangniang, some of you recognize." ”

Cui Guifei bowed her head, as if she had picked up a piece of silver on the ground, and said with a smile, "Look at which flowers can be used as rouge, and remember the name." ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the two palace maids came over and saluted Cui Guifei respectfully and politely, "The concubine is well, the queen knows that you are coming, and she has prepared tea and snacks, so she is waiting to talk to you with you." ”

Cui Guifei walked in with a smile, "The tea and snacks in the palace are the most exquisite in the queen's mother, and when the palace can beg for a meal here, it will be content." ”

"Listen, mother, this unruly and unruly appearance is really an eyesore."

The palace maid Mo Shao put a double phoenix golden step in the mirror to Queen Li, and adjusted it back and forth, striving to make the sharp eyes of the two phoenixes look straight ahead.

Empress Li let Mo Shao dress up for herself, covered her legs with a piece of colorful embroidered lake satin, and lowered her head to wipe the dust of every blue grass. "The tea and snacks I have here are all made in the imperial dining room, and anyone can eat them with peace of mind. If they change to something else, this palace dares to put it out, and they may not dare to eat it. ”

Mo Shao sighed, "The slave's mother, I have only eaten tea and snacks, and I haven't touched a bite of food, isn't it just a hint that you are a small person." ”

"The women in the palace live by this, it's just fun. If you take it seriously, it really becomes a thing, but if you don't take it seriously, then it's nothing. Everything depends on one heart, the heart is at ease, what can be bound by anything? ”

As she spoke, Concubine Cui had already entered the main hall, and turned around on the left and right, "The queen is hiding from the palace." ”

Mo Shao hugged the orchid grass and rested it on the dressing table, Queen Li stood up and patted her dress, "Go to the flower room, pick thirty different varieties, and borrow thirty little fathers-in-law." ”

Cui Guifei saw the double phoenix red gold on Queen Li's head at a glance, especially the two pairs of phoenix eyes, no matter which angle they looked at, they did not lose their majesty.

"Sister Wanfu, I haven't seen you for a while, and my sister has added new jewelry, it's really beautiful."

Whether true or false, women like to hear people praise themselves or their belongings for being good-looking, Queen Li smiled.

"I tried the newly made tea in the Imperial Dining Room, and I heard that it was ground into a powder with chrysanthemums mixed with out-of-season dried flowers and kneaded with flour. I don't have much taste when I eat it, so I just want to be fresh. ”

As soon as this kind of dim sum was made, Cheng Kandi first tasted it and thought it tasted okay, and then he gave Cui Guifei a plate, so it was not fresh for her.

"Thank you, sister, I'm not hungry this time, I'll drink tea first......" She took a few sips of tea and went to see Queen Li from time to time, "The flowers and plants in my sister's palace are blooming really well this autumn, but which palaces have they been assigned to during the New Year's Festival?" ”

Empress Li's bedroom was filled with flowers and plants, and when she was talking to Concubine Cui, she picked up a handkerchief or scissors and pruned the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants that she had not had time to take care of.

Cui Guifei had just said the word "this autumn", and Ruan Miaoling keenly noticed that Empress Li's hand holding the scissors trembled, and a half-open and half-contained flower told her to cut it off.

"Eh, sin sin, it's me who distracted my sister!" Cui Guifei hurriedly stood up.

"Nothing." Empress Li waved her hand to sit down, "I will distribute the flowers and plants for each palace in autumn, but it still depends on the conditions of the flower room." If the light shines for a long time, the flowers will bloom half a month earlier, and if there is a lack of days, I am afraid that you will have to wait for a month. ”

Cui Guifei was surprised, faintly anxious, "It's been so long, let's take care of it, the emperor and the queen mother ......"

"I say that every year, so you don't remember it."

Empress Li threw the cut flower bones into the bamboo basket on the table.

"As long as there is no trouble in the palace, I will have twelve points of spirit to take care of these flowers and plants, am I afraid that the emperor and the queen mother will not receive the congratulatory gifts on time?"

"Yes, yes, my sister will definitely help my sister keep an eye on those restless ones!"

"I heard that King Han went over to greet you today," Empress Li glanced at the brocade flowers outside, "King Qi, this child hasn't come to see me for a month." ”

King Qi was born to a concubine, and his biological mother died at a young age, and Emperor Cheng Kang was not worried about raising other concubines, so he fostered King Qi to the name of Queen Li.

Cui Guifei said, "King Qi sent it to my sister's name, she is five or six years old, and she knows what happened. Didn't you grow up eating your sister's milk, with a membrane in your heart, he doesn't think about you, why do you sigh for him? ”

"A dog has been raised for three years and five years, and I have raised King Qi for more than ten years, and I have never heard him call his mother."

Qinghua said, "The queen mother is also a mother, and the king of Han doesn't call us mothers, they all call mothers." ”

Empress Li said with a smile, "King Han, this child has been very sensible since he was a child, never overstepped the rules, and lived up to the emperor's respect for him. ”

With this good start, Cui Guifei was also happy, and took advantage of Queen Li's praise for King Han's sensibility, and hurriedly said, "But it's also a little bad." ”

"What's wrong?" Empress Li asked.

Cui Guifei raised her eyebrows and said, "This year, the emperor asked him to open a mansion, first, I can't see him often, and I have to think about him every day when I wake up or sleep." The second is that there is no woman in his house to preside over the feed, and a room of guests has to rely on him to supply, and I don't know what to send during this year's New Year's Festival to satisfy them. ”

"What's so difficult about this, I don't have it here, it's just that these flowers and plants are taken outside the palace to buy, and the price is not low." Empress Li called someone and handed the list to Concubine Cui Guifei.
