Chapter 12: Grace (1)

The crowd was in an uproar.

Pillow Chunzhi felt a thumping in his chest, and his eyes were locked on Liu Anran.

Liu Anran pursed her lips: "The concubine has seen it in "Mengxi Writings", saying that its flowers and leaves are like acacia and purple like kudzu, and the roots can enter the vine flowers of the verandah to decorate the verandah. Liu Anran was slightly blessed and explained, "Most of the verandahs in the palace are planted with vine flowers, and it is not known which one has ink. It's just ordinary flowers and plants, and it's not worth tweaking. ”

"I thought Concubine Liu knew, but she was just showing off her knowledge." Liu Meiren was very unconvinced, and snorted lightly, "Concubine Qi, if you want the concubine to say, what flowers are just fresh with the time, what's so strange." ”

Liu Anran smiled reluctantly: "That's right, how can these inconspicuous idle flowers have the dignity and flawlessness of the 'Molou Zhenghui' on the head of the mother." ”

Speaking of this, the concubines talked about the peonies, begonias, peonies, etc., and forgot about the purple ink in a few words. Then they all ate some tea and retired in turn.

When Pillow Chun went out, she saw Liu Anran waiting for her.

"Sister Liu......"

"You're so calm." Liu Anran shook Zhuchun's hand and pulled her to the imperial garden, "Do you have time to walk with me now?" ”

"Sister doesn't blame me." Pillow Chun took her hand, and his face showed apologies, "I'm just scared." ”

Liu Anran said: "I have entered the palace gate now, only you know your heart, how can I betray you?" She whispered softly to Pillow Chun's ear and whispered, "The Queen Mother is rampant, and no one is difficult to protect herself." I was at the table that day, and I saw that His Majesty had returned for a long time, and when I returned, I couldn't bear to brush it off, so I already knew it. ”

"Although I intend to design, my sister is sincere." Pillow Chun drooped his eyelids and looked at the golden thread embroidered northern daylily exposed on Liu Anran's cuffs, and felt pity for her infatuation, "It's not easy now." I just hope that Your Majesty will be free as soon as possible, or seal a talented person from the sixth grade, so that I can relax Qiyunxuan. ”

"If you want to see, you will be content." As soon as Liu Anran said this, his cheeks turned red again, and he only said, "Fortunately, it's just such a trivial thing as flower appreciation, and everyone forgets about it in a few days." It is best to be promoted to two levels in a row to seal a six-grade beauty, as long as you don't stand on the cusp of this storm, it's good. ”

This matter failed to make Liu Anran accurate.

On the twenty-first day of May in the fourth year of Qiwu, the political affairs of the previous dynasty were slightly peaceful, Mu Beiyi entered the inner court, and promoted An's pillow spring to the third level, which was a noble person from the fifth grade. In addition, four pieces of summer clothing, two pairs of Zhu Hai, and a banquet of Shoumu Hua.

The implication: I'm going to have dinner in the evening.

As soon as this holy decree came out, there were various palace attendants or female officials who came to congratulate and send gifts, and many spirits were sent back and forth, and the queen mother also rewarded a pair of earrings with red gold inlaid with eastern pearls. Naturally, when the maids and officials in the palace left, they couldn't help but look at the ink-like flower waterfall outside Qiyunxuan. Pillow Chun naturally knew that when these people went back to say it, there were many little masters who felt uncomfortable. It's just that now that the holy decree has been issued and the dust has settled, no one dares to touch the meaning of the Son of Heaven.

Just after Shen, the sky was still bright, and Yulan hurriedly urged the pillow spring to make up, and the peach blossom took out all the heads pressed at the bottom of the box, and wanted to wear them all on the pillow spring's head.

"It's not a big show." Pillow Spring selected a small hairpin of mutton fat jade, a small comb grate made of plain silver, "comb a simple partial bun." His Majesty thought that Qi Yunxuan was good, because Qi Yunxuan's flowers were neither red nor pink. ”

Peach Blossom seems to understand whether she understands or not, but she knows that Pillow Spring has always been very calculating, and she dressed up according to her words. Immediately, Pillow Spring changed into a thin shirt embroidered with green lotus leaves on the white placket, and a pair of extremely small jade earrings.

After the general was cleaned up, the chamberlain of the imperial dining room led a group of palace people to come to set up the meal. The "Shoumu Hua Banquet" given by Mu Beiyi is inherited from the famous banquet in the early Shang Dynasty, as the name suggests, it is to eat with "Muhua" flowers, and it has the effect of lightening the body.

The hot dishes include a locust shrimp, a peach blossom fish fillet, a dish of bean paste magnolia, and a steamed yellow chicken with lotus leaves. The cold dishes include a dish of honey-stuffed wood rhino taro, a piece of rose silver vermicelli, and a dish of red fragrant green jade. There is also a dish of rattan radish cake, a cup of snow soup, a lily noodle, and a pot of glutinous rice chrysanthemum wine. It took half a quarter of an hour, and it was a marigold and silver chopstick, and the tea that accompanied the food was full of boiling.

Pillow Chun pushed the door and went out to look, seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, he looked up at the eightfold black dragon, and said to Yulan: "The sky is going to be dark at this time, and when you want to come, your majesty will not be able to see its appearance in the day." It's a pity that in a few days in the middle of summer, the flowers will be gone. ”

"I'm still too late to see it now." Mu Bei Yiping retired from the palace, and entered Xuan with his head raised and swept the rain slightly, "It is the same as that day, and it is slightly grand." ”

Pillow Chun smiled, and Ying Yingfu sang and saluted: "Your Majesty has a glimpse of it today, and it is not in vain to open it today." ”

Mu Beiyi bowed his head and asked again: "Can I put the flowers and delicacies on display?" ”

"Just arrived." Pillow Chun welcomed him in and invited him to the table, "It is very Kit Kat that the four o'clock flowers are eaten at one table, and the concubine feels very strange." He was puzzled when he said that, "Most of the flowers are sweet, but Your Majesty likes sweets?" ”

"I don't like it." Mu Beiyi sat down in his robe and tasted a little bit of the noodle soup that was not sweet, "The first time I saw you decorated with flowers, I thought you liked it." ”

Pillow Chun's face turned red, smiled shyly, and said in a low voice: "The concubine likes it very much." A pair of plain hands slightly rolled up the sleeves, picked up the white porcelain spoon and added some Xuexia soup to Mu Beiyi, "This soup and steamed yellow chicken are not sweet." ”

He waited for the Son of Heaven to eat, and then the orchid served tea to rinse his mouth. Pillow Chun carefully skimmed off the tea leaves, raised his glass and handed it to Mu Beiyi: "Your Majesty uses tea." ”

Mu Beiyi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Yulan. Yulan noticed that her body stiffened slightly, and she hurriedly leaned over and buried her head low.

"That's all you have to do here." Mu Beiyi lifted the tea cup with one hand, "It is one who serves and serves tea closely." He also pointed to the peach blossoms that served Jinpa to the pillow spring while withdrawing from the banquet, "There is another one for the banquet and the pulp." He smiled as he spoke, "But my imperial city is too shabby?" ”

Mu Beiyi smiled very good-looking, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his thin lips were hooked. Unfortunately, there are very few. Pillow Chun didn't dare to look directly, lowered his head and said, "It's all served very properly." The concubines are soft-spoken, so it is enough. ”

"That's fine." Mu Beiyi has no intention of talking about such trivial matters, "In the future, it will not be too late to add people if they are promoted again." ”

Pillow Spring is grateful in his heart. Now, at such a critical time, adding someone to come in will inevitably make others do something. It's best to do that, at least to get to the bottom of it. She pursed her lips and got up to serve Mu Beiyi to take off her coat. The two of them had dinner, and it was dark. Mu Beiyi sat on the brocade couch and looked at the rest of today's recital, but he was speechless.
