Chapter 61: Dressing Up

February 15, some sporadic light rain in the morning, after the remnant of winter, all the plants and trees in the royal 'flower' garden have begun to spit out new green, the green plum garden is even more 'flower' clusters, all kinds of old plums compete to bloom, the early blooming tea 'flower' on the shore of Daming Lake, the bright 'bright' red and bright.

These 'flowers' and 'flowers' are moistened by the light rain for a while, and they look even more charming and moving.

"Niangniang, hurry up and comb your hair" Meizi has urged Chen Qingxuan three times, and today is a rare lively day in the palace, although she does not play gongs and sing, but it is more lively than before.

Because today is the day when Princess Yixing chooses a concubine, those prospective concubine candidates will gather in the green plum garden today.

"Little girl, what are you urging?" Chen Qingxuan shook her head, I really don't understand, what are these little girls 'stirring'?

"Niangniang—" Zhuzi exclaimed a little unwillingly, "other Niangniang must have dressed up decently and gone to Qingmei Garden early in the morning, so you didn't take it seriously." ”

"This is the princess picking up the horse" Chen Qingxuan shook her head, what did she do when she was dressed decently? Do you want to show the prospective horses? Isn't it her Chen Qingxuan who picks a husband?

"You can't say that," Meizi shook his head and said, "These sons are all the sons of the eunuchs in the capital, and they are all first-class in character and talent.

"Heh-" Chen Qingxuan chuckled, everyone's thoughts, she still understood more or less, think about it, when have you seen other men in this deep palace? Xiao Lux are all eunuchs, she can't do it accurately, she is deeply favored by the saints, but it's okay, those ordinary concubines, probably aged and can't see Emperor Yinxi's side, every day in the palace, except for being in a daze, I'm afraid there is nothing to do.

Unprovoked sorrow

Thinking of this, she shook her head gently, since she chose to enter the palace, they should know that in this deep palace, there are many beautiful 'women', but there is only one man-only emperor.

Even if other men enter the palace today, their concubines can also participate in the opinion and choose a good colt for Princess Yixing, but it is just someone else's donkey, no matter how they dress up to be 'flowery', even if they steadily overpower Princess Yixing, they will never want to leave the palace in this life.

"Mother, do you know?" Suddenly, Meizi lowered her voice and said, "I vaguely said-"

"Say what?" Chen Qingxuan looked at Meizi's nervous appearance and asked in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly." ”

"It seems to be the meaning of the Queen Mother," Meizi said in a low voice, "For this quasi-horse candidate, after entering the palace, if he is selected as a concubine, it will naturally be a supreme honor, otherwise, he will not disappoint these sons, and each will reward two beauties as concubines."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, this can be regarded as a 'private' discussion, and she can also listen to it. Of course, the so-called beauties who are rewarded are definitely not the rough girls in the palace, but those low-ranking concubines who have some good backgrounds, and Yang Xi has not been pampered.

This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, and it is not an uncommon thing.

It's just that even if it's a low-ranking concubine, after all, it's also a royal concubine, and her status is transcendent, once it's given to those sons who don't even have meritorious status, it's just a low-ranking concubine, just slightly higher than the maid's 'woman'.

Once you meet a powerful lady in the main room, you don't know how to die.

"Are you sure?" Chen Qingxuan asked in a low voice.

"It should be certain," Meizi whispered as she brushed her hair.

"In this way, it's okay not to go to this green plum garden" Chen Qingxuan suddenly thought of a possible 'sex', with Empress Dowager Li's heart 'sex', how could she make such a face-saving decision? There's definitely something wrong with this.

In this palace, she relied on Emperor Yinxi, and Emperor Yinxi also relied on her original identity to calm the 'chaos' in the world. Only when they cooperate with each other can they be invincible, but once they are 'interspersed' with people in between, it is a little difficult to want such a close cooperation.

Chen Qingxuan was sure that Empress Dowager Li would definitely not turn against Yang Xi when the time was not ripe, and Emperor Yinxi would never give up on her when she had use value.

Therefore, in this palace, she can 'mix' the wind and water.

But now, Chen Qingxuan clenched his fists for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Meizi, do you want to go out of the palace and get married?" ”

When Meizi heard this, there was a "snap", and the ivory comb in her hand fell to the ground, and it was torn apart in an instant, and her face became as white and scary as the ivory comb in an instant.

"Niangniang......" Meizi's voice trembled a little.

And the bamboo, which was coaxing the butter lord on the side, also changed his face. looked at Chen Qingxuan in a daze, Chen Qingxuan has always given people the feeling that they are all open-minded people, and they have good tempers, and even the two of them are 'waiting' in her room, and they are also very naked, not to mention some ordinary maids and servants in this palace, even some powerful aunts, and the wrestlers in power in the palace will not give them a 'color' face.

But today, why did Chen Qingxuan say that?

"You get up" Chen Qingxuan shook her head and said, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid of today's events, there is another reason, the Queen Mother looks at me unpleasantly, and it's not a matter of a day or two." ”

Meizi is a smart person, and when she heard this, she already understood what Chen Qingxuan meant, so she was busy kowtowing and said, "What does Niangniang want a slave to do?" ”

"You get up and talk" Chen Qingxuan looked at Meizi's slightly delicate face, in fact, girls in their twenties, except for those who are strange and ugly, or those who are obsessed with 'fat' and can't look good, in addition, their appearance is a little moving. After thinking about it, she said, "The meaning of the Queen Mother, I can guess a little, she just wants to take this opportunity to let me and a certain son have some unclear reputations, even if Your Majesty is favored now, he can't stand the repeated rumors, and something will happen sooner or later." ”

"Yes," Meizi nodded, "Niangniang's best is to avoid it." ”

"I think so too," Chen Qingxuan nodded, "But if you don't go, the Queen Mother's plan will fail, and it will inevitably lead to another incident, so I thought it would be better to move the 'flower' tree."

"How do you move the 'flower' graft?" Meizi still didn't understand.

"It's very simple, you pretend to be me," Chen Qingxuan said with a smile, "However, you can keep your eyes open, and pick one you like, if you don't like it, they will speak lightly to you, you can call out loudly, rest assured, as long as I don't get involved, if something happens, I will support you." ”

Meizi thinks about it, and has already understood, indeed, as long as her mother is not involved, what is she afraid of? Chen Qingxuan has never been a heartless person, when the time comes, there is really something to do, how can there be anyone who doesn't speak to himself?

Thinking of this, she suddenly put her mind at ease, and Chen Qingxuan ordered Zhuzi to help Meizi change clothes, and she didn't like to comb cumbersome palace hair on weekdays, in most cases, she combed a simple double mustache, and ordinary palace 'women' on weekdays also liked to comb double mustaches, it can be said that this is the most ordinary bun in the palace.

Even if it really makes a fuss, the plum is not arrogant.

The clothes don't need to be luxurious, just use the old clothes worn by Chen Qingxuan, a green 'color' long skirt, a peach-colored 'color' jacket on top, and a cardigan shirt of the same color', in order to avoid unnecessary gossip, the kind of shawl that symbolizes the concubine is useless. Otherwise, once the 'deal' is not good, Meizi will trespass, which is a serious crime, and she will not be able to save her at that time.

But ordinary clothes, but there is no hindrance, when the time comes, she can explain, but she wears old, don't want, give the plum.

The palace 'women' who 'wait' around the concubines in the palace will be rewarded on weekdays, which is nothing more than clothes and jewelry, and some concubines will also change their old clothes and reward them to their palace 'women', which is not an unusual thing.

"Zhuzi, you also changed your clothes, go with her," Chen Qingxuan said with a smile.

"Oh...... Niangniang, I understand" Bamboo pursed her lips and smiled, hurriedly changed her clothes, combed her hair, and went out with Meizi.

Waiting for them to go out, Chen Qingxuan hugged the butter, thinking in her heart, if the Empress Dowager Li wanted to find trouble with her, she would inevitably try to stop Yang Xi from coming over, and then, she should also take advantage of the critical moment to let Yang Xi watch a good show.

Such a 'fine' thing, if I miss it, it will be a pity Chen Qingxuan thought of this, not only laughed.

"Mama Yue," Chen Qingxuan exclaimed.

"Miss" Yuehe opened the curtain and walked in busily.

"Comb my hair," Chen Qingxuan smiled.

"Okay" Yuehe smiled, what Chen Qingxuan wanted to do, she didn't know, she didn't need her to tell her immediately, but she didn't rush to comb her hair, but took out the clothes given by Emperor Yinxi last time, and carefully helped her change them, and then began to hold her head, comb the grate one by one, comb the hair bun into a Wangxian bun, open the jewelry box, Yuehe took out the beads 'flower' golden hairpin, little by little.

"You don't have to be so cautious," Chen Qingxuan smiled when she saw this, "You can just pick a few hairpins."

"It's rare for the eldest lady to dress up once, how can the slave not be dedicated?" Yuehe smiled, he didn't use that cumbersome phoenix hairpin, only counted a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin, but on each tail, there were colorful and gorgeous rubies, and the "fine" Huasheng hung down from Chen Qingxuan's smooth forehead.

"Miss, what do you think?" Yuehe took another mirror and looked at it, so that Chen Qingxuan could see the hair ornament behind.

"'Quite heavy'" Chen Qingxuan 'touched' the beautiful phoenix hairpin and smiled bitterly.

Yuehe had a feeling of crying and laughing, she was busy for a long time, and she actually got such a sentence from her?

"Okay, Mama Yue, you are the most skillful" Chen Qingxuan was busy chuckling, Yuehe was different from others, and she was an old man who was used to being around her, and she treated her differently from others, "You send a little girl to Jinghua Palace for a while, I will go to visit Concubine Xian Niangniang and Little Princess Qiaoqiao later." ”
