The Empress Dowager and Mrs. Shangguan had a very comfortable New Year's Day, not to mention that the emperor had made Mrs. Shangguan a first-class order, and last night's Chinese New Year's Eve alone was enough to make them laugh for a few days. They didn't expect that Hongluan would also do something wrong, and they believed that Concubine Xian would not treat her like she used to be.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone got up very early, and after greeting the queen and the empress dowager, they were rewarded, among which the rewards of Hongluan, Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui were the most generous, which made the people in the palace red-eyed. Everyone wanted to go back to the palace to make up for sleep after asking for peace because they slept too late last night, and they took their own leave after a few kind words.

The concubines had just walked a few steps with the people, when they heard a crisp applause, and when they turned around, they saw Concubine Xian raised her hand and slapped Hongluan again, which was so loud and bright that all the concubines stopped.

Hongluan stroked his face and said angrily: "I apologized to my sister for being drunk yesterday, but you beat me, am I a good bully?" After she finished speaking, she unceremoniously returned the four slaps of Concubine Xian, and turned around to help Liu'er: "Go, go back to the palace." ”

The concubines and concubines were not in her way and watched her go away, and Concubine Xian was beaten and fell to the ground, only because the snow was very thick so that she did not fall injured, but she broke her clothes and a hairpin and bracelet, and she was angry and annoyed at the moment and didn't want to stay to be seen as a joke, so she ignored Concubine Hui who rushed over, and helped the palace people to return to the palace quickly.

Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Xian, and then looked at Hongluan finally stomping her feet to chase Hongluan, as long as Hongluan was willing to coax Concubine Xian in a low voice, it would not be a big deal. It's just that she just left, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress knew about what Hongluan and Concubine Xian did, and it happened that none of them issued an order to investigate.

After listening to Concubine Hui's words, Hongluan said: "Of course I knew that I was wrong last night, but I didn't mean to, because I was homesick and missed my parents and was in a bad mood and ate a few more glasses of wine, I was drunk like that, and I rushed to apologize today, but I was slapped twice, how can I endure it anymore?" ”

"What kind of background I am sister knows, if I endure it like this, then people will step on my head and do whatever they want in the future, and I don't have the habit of being beaten and giving up; My sister knows who I am, I'm not a troublemaker but I'm not a person who is afraid of things, it's not that I want to get along with her now, it's that she's clearly looking for an excuse to get along with me! Didn't my sister forget what she said last night, obviously because the emperor came to me a few more times and became jealous, and took advantage of the topic. ”

Hongluan turned sideways to gamble: "I was beaten and my face was red and swollen, how can I see people if I am so ugly?" It's not my fault now, I will never make amends to her, and my sister should not persuade her. ”

Of course, Concubine Hui's rush couldn't hide the eyes in the palace, and when she came out of the palace with a sigh, she didn't go far and met Concubine Li, who was appreciating the snow. She immediately wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Concubine Li: "This is not our family's Zixuan, I worked so the first day of the Lunar New Year, alas, it's really not good to ask this palace to say your life." What's even more a pity is that people don't appreciate it, right? Don't blame people, you can only blame yourself for not being able to do it. ”

After Concubine Li finished speaking, she took people away, ignoring Concubine Hui; Out of the evil breath in her chest, Concubine Li heard the brothers Prince Fu and Prince Kang enter the palace to greet her, and her laughter could be heard all the way.

Of course, Hongluan's mood is not good, but it is impossible to bow his head to Concubine Xian and admit his mistakes now, anyway, there is no eternal enemy in the palace, and everyone will be able to put down their anger in a few days; In the end, she and Concubine Xian still have common interests, and they shouldn't really turn against each other.

She was bored to walk in the imperial garden in the afternoon, and when she arrived at Meilin, she heard someone talking in the warm pavilion, and when she saw a little eunuch, she called over and asked to know that it was the imperial concubine and the concubine Jia who were enjoying the plum blossoms. Whether it is Concubine Jia or the Imperial Concubine, they are all people she cares about very much.

When I walked to the warm pavilion, I felt the heat blowing on my face, and it was no wonder that the warm pavilion opened two windows, and when I was about to pick up the curtain to enter, I heard the voice of the imperial concubine: "The elder brother and younger brother of the concubine have returned to Beijing this time, and you can just have a family reunion, congratulations." If it weren't for the big flood seven or eight years ago, your brother wouldn't have been able to return to Beijing for so long. ”

Concubine Jia smiled: "It is a great joy to see my brother and younger brother, I said that a few days ago, a magpie landed in my palace courtyard and called, it turned out that it should be here." But she avoided the big water of that year.

The imperial concubine also laughed: "Ming'er asked people to catch the magpie in the courtyard of the palace, and see if the old father and younger brother of the palace can also return to Beijing to see each other." Come, have tea. Today's plum blossoms are really good, but the best plum in the palace is still a few plants in the Qinglu Palace, cough cough. She coughed dryly twice: "This palace was negligent for a while, and forgot that the Mei sisters and Concubine Jia had a holiday, so you don't have any other intentions." ”

Concubine Jia laughed dryly: "What do you say about the festival, it was just a small right and wrong back then, and it is inevitable that you will be competitive when you are young, now think about it, what is it worth?" And it's a hundred, their sisters are long gone, don't say that there are no holidays, even if there is, it's not a big deal. ”

The imperial concubine was extremely surprised when she heard it: "Concubine Jia's heart and mind can't be compared with this palace, and even the revenge of killing her son can be said to be not a big deal......"

"Niangniang, that's all a shadowless thing, not to mention that Prince Ding is very good now, there is no evidence found in the matter back then, even the first emperor said that the Mei family is innocent, don't mention this Niangniang, the first emperor Jiuquan will be unhappy when he hears it." Concubine Jia interrupted the words of the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine no longer mentioned the past, and began to discuss Mei with Concubine Jia, and the two gradually laughed again.

Hongluan's heart swayed when she heard this, she had been paying close attention to the Shangguan family and the imperial concubine recently, but she was not suspicious of Prince Ding, because he was not old enough to do evil back then; But she forgot that Prince Ding can't do evil, but Concubine Jia can!

A big flood involved so many people, from the middle of the court to the harem, there were water shadows shaking everywhere, making it difficult for her to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Originally, I only thought that someone was greedy and perverted the law regardless of the life and death of the people, but now he found the yarn and straw weaving, and the matter became so that Hongluan didn't even dare to consult with Gu Anping and Master Meng.

It was not easy to know the truth of the year after many years, so she settled down and gently pushed open the door of the warm pavilion: "The two mothers are so Yaxing." ”

800 chapters of tea fragrance

The imperial concubine smiled when she saw Hongluan: "Why do you want to go for a walk in the garden?" The emperor should have nothing to do this afternoon, and you should prepare well in the palace. She pointed to the round stool beside her: "It's better to sit down and rest or go back to prepare for the car, things in the palace are changing rapidly, don't think that there is nothing to go away, and you don't pay attention to it once or twice." She said this and looked at Concubine Jia: "Do you say that's the case, sister?" ”

Concubine Jia nodded lightly and sighed, the look on her face was a little strange: "Pure Concubine Niangniang is still very important, don't ......." Speaking of this, she sighed for a long time and didn't say any more, just shook her head and looked at the plum blossoms outside, not knowing where the fugue was.

Hongluan had already sat down and thanked the two of them for their guidance: "It's just that it's too stuffy in the house, so I came out for a walk, and walked to listen to the ladies come here to see a salute." I didn't expect it to snowfall heavily for several days, and it rained heavily last night, and it has cleared up today. This sky blue is really a thousand things that make people feel thousands of things at a glance, and it seems that all of a sudden there are no people, and there are no thoughts left, which is very gratifying. ”

Concubine Jia smiled: "Concubine Chun Niangniang is different from ordinary people, but she is just a little blue, and she can say so many words." She pointed to the tea on the table: "Let's eat some tea, I brewed it with my own hands, which is a little different from others." ”

The Empress Dowager turned back with a smile: "It's not for her tea, the palace is too lazy to see what plum blossoms here, it's more comfortable to sleep in bed at this time." Don't you know, her hand of tea is a must in the palace, even the first emperor of the year is full of praise, and she always has to taste it for a few days. ”

Hongluan picked up the tea and sniffed it when he heard it: "It's so fragrant." This aroma is different from the tea you usually drink, it is not pure tea fragrance, but also mixed with some sweet aroma, which will not cover the tea fragrance but complement and entangle with the tea fragrance, which is really refreshing. After taking a sip, she closed her eyes for a while and exclaimed: "It's really good tea, do you want to accept apprentices?" ”

Concubine Jia laughed: "Concubine Chun said that you are laughing, you are so busy every day that you really have the heart and time to learn tea?" You must know that it takes two or three months to achieve a small success, and it takes meditation and concentration to achieve; The palace is ...... now" She shook her head lightly: "In a few years, Concubine Chun will come to me again when she is free, and I will definitely give you all my money." ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she pushed Hongluan: "Don't forget to back up the generous gift that can't be heavier, you must know that she didn't even teach Prince Ding this ability, and there are many people in the palace who ask for it, and she has never given such words; Although it was a few years later, I finally promised you, and you are indeed a blessed person. ”

Hongluan thanked Concubine Jia with a smile, and looked at the plum blossom as if she suddenly remembered: "When I came here just now, I saw Prince Fu and Prince Kang from a distance, it should be a New Year's greeting for Concubine Li, right?" Prince Ding should be here too, right? ”

Concubine Jia shook her head: "Prince Ding won't enter the palace today, right?" Last night was trying his best, two days ago he had a cold, last night with a drink and couldn't get up today, the imperial doctor has already gone to see it, said how to raise it for a few days. After she finished speaking, she sighed and looked at Hongluan: "My heart here is scattered - Princess Fu didn't go to the banquet last night, isn't she also sick?" This weather is the most likely to make people sick. ”

Hongluan sighed softly: "My sister is in good health, but she is ......" She shook her head: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read." It doesn't matter if the prince is sick, right? "It was a letter from Concubine Li to the Fu Palace, stating that if the Han family went to the banquet, she would be sick in the palace; That means that they don't want to see Han, and Han didn't enter the palace, Hongluan and she both thought it was better not to eat the meal last night, and the sisters didn't care.

But apparently their sisters don't care, but someone does.

Concubine Jia pointed to the tea on the table: "It's not a big deal, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have the heart to get this thing." ”

The imperial concubine put down the tea cup in her hand: "I said that today's tea tastes not as good as before, it turns out that Prince Ding is sick; This palace has drunk your tea, and you must always return the favor. She raised her voice and asked someone to fetch something: "The pillow is made of some medicinal seeds to help me sleep, or is it a birthday gift you gave me back then, and now I will give it to King Ding, hoping that he can sleep more peacefully during his illness." ”

Hongluan didn't expect that Concubine Jia would also get a medicine pillow, so she couldn't help but look at it twice: it was the first time she had heard of such a thing as a medicine pillow, and it was just curiosity.

"Haven't you seen it?" The imperial concubine smiled and pointed at Concubine Jia: "She can also make medicinal tea, if it weren't for King Ding's illness being too sick and sweating profusely after drinking that kind of tea for a day, typhoid fever would definitely be great tomorrow." The first emperor, the first queen and the palace all ate it back then, but later she stopped getting those things in order to avoid suspicion, except for boiling tea or boiling tea. ”

Concubine Jia shook her head helplessly: "The most taboo in the palace is to make a move, and adhering to the golden mean is the best way to protect oneself. Besides, I don't know any pharmacology, and I don't know any medicinal materials, but I just know a few wild prescriptions, of course, it's better to hide them. ”

When Hongluan heard this, she took a closer look at Concubine Jia, and found that her complexion was much better than that of the Imperial Concubine, originally when she knew the two people in front of her, they were like this, so she didn't care too much; Now that I think about it, it is not a unique blessing, it should be the maintenance benefit of Concubine Jia.

"What the concubine said makes sense." Hongluan gave up after a sigh of affection, and said with a smile: "I have to ask for another cup of tea to eat, this kind of fairy tea is not something that can be enjoyed every day, speaking of which, I have filial piety, so I got a blessing." ”

Concubine Jia smiled and called the palace people to come over and flush the water: "It's a little light now, but under the tasting, there is another taste, light and long, just like the plum fragrance in front of you." ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she glanced at Concubine Jia and said nothing, but Hongluan went to pick up the tea cup and ignored Concubine Jia's words: the aroma of the tea has been dispersed, and it is really light and long, and it is even more fascinating between the presence and the absence of it.

She sniffed lightly, tasted the aftertaste, and opened her eyes for a while: "Sure enough, it's good tea, I will definitely worship this teacher in a few years, just to be able to drink such good tea every day, it's worth using more energy." ”

The imperial concubine made fun of Hongluan and Concubine Jia said a few modest words, the door was pushed open, and a little eunuch came in and knelt down: "Back to the three maiden, the empress dowager and the queen maiden ask the pure concubine Niangniang to go to Qingping Palace for questioning." ”

Hongluan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What's wrong?" On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Empress Dowager and the Empress were so aggressive, saying anything about "questioning", it must be to find her trouble, and I don't care that today is the first day of the New Year's Festival.
