Hua Qingrao walked to the door of Jingyang Hall and happened to meet Hui Jieyu. Today she wore a Mulan green gauze skirt, and only a simple magnolia hairpin was pinned to her head, which had a unique charm.

If the queen is a dignified and gorgeous peony, and Concubine Zhang Xian is a delicate and thorny rose, then this Hui Jieyu is a plum blossom that is clear and noble.

Hua Qing Raofu saluted and said, "The concubine sees the mother." ”

Hui Jieyu said in a faint voice: "Get up." ”

Hua Qingrao got up and looked at her, there was no disdain in her eyes when other concubines looked at her, but there was no smile either. Her eyes are like a clear spring, clear and without ripples, and she is a cold beauty who is alive and well.

The queen sat on the upper seat and watched the two people walk in one after the other, and laughed: "The two sisters walked in together, and I thought that the two fairies had gone down to earth!" ”

Hui Jieyu and Hua Qingrao saluted at the same time: "The concubine sees the queen's mother, and asks the queen's mother." ”

The queen smiled and waved her hand to get them up, and the palace ladies cleverly served refreshments.

Yi Guiyi covered her mouth and laughed and teased: "The two sisters are as cold as ice and as passionate as fire; One is fresh and refined, and one is charming. What a blessing you are! ”

Hua Qingrao raised her eyes and looked, the jade bracelet on her wrist was particularly eye-catching.

The time has passed, and the concubines in the palace have already arrived, only Concubine Zhang Xian's position is still vacant. Because her position is at the bottom left of the queen, it is particularly obvious.

Xi Xiuyi hesitated and said tentatively: "Queen Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang is probably delayed due to something, so it's better not to wait." ”

There were also a few concubines below who echoed: "Yes, don't wait. ”

The queen's expression was indifferent, and she slowly spoke: "It's been so long, the matter should be resolved, and Sister Xian will come soon." ”

Since the queen said so, the rest of the people are not good at saying anything. Each drank the tea on the table, and said something without a match.

By the time Concubine Zhang Xianshan walked in, Hua Qingrao had already finished the second cup of tea in her hand.

Concubine Zhang Xian was supported by Baoqin, leaned over slightly and saluted: "The concubine is the queen mother." Before the queen could get her up, she was already on her feet.

She covered her mouth and smiled, smiling heartwarmingly. "This morning, the emperor went to visit his concubines, and he missed the hour, and asked the queen to punish him."

The Queen's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, but quickly returned to normal. She smiled gently, half-jokingly and half-reproached: "Hui Jieyu came to bed so early last night, so she wanted to punish your sister well." She lowered her head and pondered for a while, "I will punish my sister for copying Buddhist books for the Queen Mother with your own position!" ”

Concubine Zhang Xian sat down in her place, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "This punishment of the concubine is not blessed. Everyone laughed at the concubines all day long for being "illiterate", and for such a major event as copying Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother, the concubines still don't be greedy. ”

Wen Zhaorong smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that Sister Hui's words in this palace are the best, and even everyone praises them again and again!" For the queen mother to copy the Buddhist scriptures, the concubine looks at Hui Jieyu is the most suitable! ”

The queen took a sip of the tea in her hand, "Your sister Hui has already copied it for the queen mother, and your sister's character is also beautiful and fresh." ”

"Niangniang, you really promoted your concubine." Wen Zhaorong pretended not to hear the meaning of her words, and asked Hua Qingrao, "Sister Ying can write?" ”

Hua Qingrao lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Although the concubine is fortunate to have learned, it is really difficult to get into the elegant hall. ”

"My sister must be too modest." Wen Zhaorong said.

Before Hua Qingrao could speak, Li Cairen suddenly sneered, "Niangniang, don't be embarrassed for Sister Ying, Sister Ying is a geisha, where can she write!" ”

Wen Zhaorong's face suddenly sank a little, but because of his identity as a talented person, he didn't show it too much. She had a smile on her face again, "Then according to Sister Li's background, writing must be a problem, right?" ”

Li Cairen was stunned in place, originally she just couldn't get used to Hua Qingrao's appearance, and wanted to say a few words to humiliate her. But she never thought that Wen Zhaorong would pull this matter on her, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

The queen glanced at Li Cairen's expression, put down the teacup, and decided with a smile: "Then it's decided, Li Cai will copy the Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother!" ”

Li Cairen couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to respond loudly.

Hua Qingrao looked at her expression like eating a fly and wanted to laugh, but she finally forced it to stop laughing.

Concubine Zhang Xian was also extremely angry at this time, she could have made Hua Qingrao suffer, but she didn't expect such a fool to come out halfway.

She turned her head sideways and wanted to glare at Li Cairen, but she saw that Xin Shiyu didn't know what fun things she was talking to the person next to her, and she covered her mouth and giggled.

This smile seemed to her to be extremely dazzling, and it made the fire in her heart burn again. She hooked the corners of her mouth, "Xin Shiyu's clothes today are so beautiful!" ”

Xin Shiyu said it happily, but he didn't expect Concubine Zhang Xian to suddenly mention her name, and she was suddenly shocked. But when she heard that she was praising her dress today, her mouth was grinning to the root of her ears.

Today's dress was taken out for her by her mother before entering the palace, and it has always been a treasure at the bottom of her mother's box.

This thin as smoke of the blue butterfly wears a floral gauze skirt, the cuffs are trimmed with gold wire, and the butterfly on the skirt is embroidered by the embroiderer a little bit, lifelike.

She wore it today, and everyone said it looked good when she saw it. It just so happened that she spent a lot of money yesterday to buy news about where everyone would go today, and planned to have a beautiful encounter here.

When Xin Shiyu was immersed in her beautiful fantasy, she suddenly heard Concubine Zhang Xian sneer and say, "The green one is like the lotus leaf in the Taiye Pool." ”

Her smile froze suddenly, and a small laugh rang out in her ears.
