Chapter 44: Gift-giving
Pillow Chun heard that his hair stood on end all over his body, and he got up and saluted one wall, and replied vigilantly: "The concubine thinks that Sister Liu is weak, and wants to visit her, and then look for the imperial concubine when she is healthy." ”
Concubine Qi Shufei pulled out a new veil, and the silver glow on the veil was faint, which was the best lake light and blue brocade, and only covered the corners of her lips.
Xue Chuling understood, lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, her slender nails caressed the smooth wide-sleeved satin, and said slowly: "Even if Concubine Xi is sick, how can she be as noble as the imperial concubine." Concubine An has always been smart and quick-witted, so naturally she will not be unable to distinguish between dignity and inferiority. ”
"I heard that the imperial concubine is unstable, and the weather changes in March and April, and it is easiest to warm up the body cold. If the concubine goes to disturb her recklessly, won't it disturb the rest of the imperial concubine. Pillow Chun flicked the hairpin on his head, neither humble nor arrogant.
Xue Chu Lingli was shallow, and his smile was like a spring fragrance: "An Concubine is so cautious, who said that you are a reckless person." As the saying goes, everything is too much, and it is better for An Concubine not to refuse. ”
Pillow Chun glanced at Xue Chuling, and saw that her skin was like congealed fat, and her cheeks were moist and red, not just a glorious and unparalleled appearance. Thinking that she was so flustered in the Jinlin in Tai'an, a pity arose in her heart for no reason, the woman who was on the eaves. Xue Chuling saw that Pillow Chun didn't speak, so he didn't want to urge anymore, and only kept his eyes in the direction of Concubine Qi.
Pillow Chun was helpless: "Zhen Wanyi said so, where do the concubines dare to refuse, they should invite themselves to go." It is our duty to be a concubine, and it is also the intention of respecting the imperial concubine, and it is too late for the concubine to be happy. ”
"Sure enough, it's still an concubine." Concubine Qi smiled and took a sip of tea satisfactorily, "Since Concubine An invited herself, it can be seen that she is a courteous person, and she is very attentive on the first day of recovery from this serious illness." There are still some congratulatory gifts prepared here in the palace to be dedicated to the imperial concubine, these gifts are precious and meticulous, and the people who send them to the palace are inevitably afraid of not doing their best. Since An Concubine is going to go now, I will ask An Concubine to send it to the palace, so that she can take care of it. ”
"Concubine ......" Pillow Chun was already annoyed in his heart, and he had to bow his head because of the authority of Concubine Qi, "Obey the will of the mother." ”
Concubine Qi Shufei prepared a box of Yurong Dongzhu powder, a pair of lotus-headed white jade scratching heads, and two bottles of the most fashionable rose fragrance this spring. Su Bai held the gift of Concubine Qi Shu, and followed behind the pillow spring.
How slow can Pillow Spring be, how slow can he go, and asked Su Bai: "What time is it?" ”
Su Bai looked up at the sky: "It's time." ”
Pillow Chun thought about it, and walked more and more slowly, eager to move one step at a time.
Su Bai said: "Little master, such a thing, stretch out your head and shrink your head...... Lunch will be passed later on. ”
"Stretch out your head and shrink your head......" Pillow Chun smiled when he heard this, "It's like a punishment, but it's better later." Concubine Qi Shufei made a good calculation and asked me to give me a ride in the middle. If something happens in the future, she can push it all on my head. Today's imperial concubine Shi is unstable in the womb, and she is a cup bow and snake shadow, and she can't wait to take the handle of Concubine Qi Shu earlier. His eyes flashed, "I might as well tell you a heartfelt word, now I have suffered three sins, and I fell off the horse and was injured, just because people are soft-spoken." High-ranking ladies are pouring into each other, but I only have the ability to do that cannon smoke and dust. If this kind of life continues, it will be my fairy daughter-like temperament, and it will be unbearable. ”
Su Bai knew that Pillow Chun had an idea, so he didn't ask more, and just buried his head in it. The two of them were on the palace road, getting closer and closer to Yufu Palace.
By the time we reached the gate of the Millennium Temple, it was already noon. There are several palace ladies guarding in front of the palace, among which the leader is the palace maid of the imperial concubine Shi. is also a palace maid, and Miaoyi is much more delicate than Su Bai, and when she sees a heavy gilt hollow finch title hairpin on her head, she knows that she is the henchman of the imperial concubine.
"Aunt Miaoyi." Pillow Chun was very polite, "Please also pass on the imperial concubine Niangniang." ”
Miaoyi glanced at Pillow Spring, seemed to be disdainful for two or three points, but her face was not good, and she only said: "It's not a coincidence that the little master of An Concubine is here, our imperial concubine is busy at this time, why don't you come again tomorrow?" ”
"It's not for anything else, the owner took the gift that Concubine Qi gave to the imperial concubine, how can I despise Concubine Qi's kindness."
She didn't know what to do, and she couldn't commit verbal offense to Concubine Qi, so she had to say: "In this case, please wait for a while." ”
When the pillow spring should fall, he waited in the shade next to the Millennium Palace. Although this wait is not exposed to the sun and is not subject to the wind, but if you stand for an hour, it is inevitable that the soles of your feet will be sore, and your waist will not be able to bear the strength. Pillow Chun's body shook, and when he saw the sundial in the courtyard turning imperceptibly, he simply closed his eyes and calmed down.
The Millennium Hall is tall and magnificent, with green painted exterior walls, bright mahogany windows, and new gilt on the eaves. As soon as the afternoon passed, the shadow turned, the shadow cast to the back of the hall, and the pillow spring stood in the warm spring. The warm spring light is on the body, like a delicate light that gently scratches people, and it makes people tired and lazy.
Pillow Chun hid two sleepiness in a row, his eyes were so soft by the warm light that he couldn't open, and he heard the door of the Millennium Hall creak open.
Mu Beiyi came out of the silent and shady hall and saw the green walls and vermilion tiles outside, and the grass and trees sprouted. He was dressed in the usual blue and white robes, with a red gold waist. The pale color of the blue and white cloth was illuminated by the sunlight, as if gilded with a shimmer like a god.
He swept his eyes and saw that the lazy Pillow Chun was holding Su Bai's shoulder, and his slender crisp hand dyed with Danko was twisting a piece of translucent light primrose-colored yarn, and he was yawning secretly with his lips half-covered. Her eyes were closed tiredly, her eyelashes were illuminated by the spring sun as if they were sprinkled with gold powder, and the whole person was indescribably charming and soft. It's the twenty-eight years of pretty life, so lazy, but there is some unclear eroticism. I said that it was just such a time, and the prosperity was consumed, and I was full of warm thoughts.
Even if it's bad, it's hard to extricate yourself. Then he asked, "Why is Concubine An waiting?" ”
Shi Shi sent it out from inside, wearing a pure gold flower crown that only the imperial concubine wears, and a red waist pinching peony brocade dress, just enough to see the lower abdomen. She saw that there was still a fox guarding outside, her eyes seemed to be scraped by a blade, and she only said, "Yo, Concubine An is also there." As he spoke, he was annoyed, "Miaoyi, how did you do an errand!" I didn't invite An Concubine to come in and speak, so that people stood and waited. ”
Miao Yi knelt down, with a guilty face.
