Chapter 5: Cultivation (1)

When the two met for the first time, Duanmu was cautious, and they couldn't say a few words, so they dispersed.

Pillow Chun sent her to the door and looked at her departing back with a smile.

Peach Blossom wrapped the two precious fabrics from the cage and sent them, and Xu Yu came back and said to Zhuchun: "It's the little master who is so kind to give such a precious soft smoke to the Duanmu maiden." This Duanmu maiden is a poor child, look at the one she wears on her head, it's so simple. ”

Pillow Chun pulled the bun with one hand, slowly brushed the dust off the skirt with the other, and said lightly: "I don't expect her to accept my kindness, I just hope that I can live in the same palace and get by." Although her family is a sixth-class pavilion chief, and she only manages the ten-mile village household when she leaves Lejing, she should still dress up well on the first day of entering the palace, and she can still wear a plain bracelet for about two taels of silver. ”

Peach Blossom looked puzzled when she heard this, and walked in with the pillow spring: "I saw that Duanmu Imperial Girl's wrist was empty." ”

"It can be seen that the empty hand looks too plain, and it is strange that it is eye-catching." Pillow Chun smiled helplessly, "The important thing is that the person above is willing to think about her cold and pitiful, and have more pity, even if she wears plain clothes every day, why not?" Then he sighed softly, "Maybe it's because I think about it too much......"

Lunch was delivered from the dining room of Yongning Palace. After reading the dishes, it makes sense. There is a dish of dried tofu and leeks, a dish of mushroom chicken slices, and a vinegared meatball and chestnut cake. Pillow Chun has never liked to eat pastries, so he gave the chestnut cake to the peach blossoms and they ate it. Xiao Xizi rarely eats sweet cakes, and when she eats them, she likes them very much, and after eating them, she still runs to thank her.

When I came over at noon, the rewards from the palaces came one after another.

The first one was rewarded by the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi, two Zhu Hai, two pairs of earrings, six silk horses, two palace fans, and two exquisite dim sums.

The rewards of Concubine Qi and Concubine Mi came almost together, and their share was slightly shorter than that of Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi.

When it was time for dinner, Concubine Jiang came, and she only got two pieces of clothing and a pair of bracelets.

The highest Mo nobleman who picked the female was the same as the Lian nobleman who gave birth to the emperor's eldest son. Or the nobleman is not a serious master, or there is no reason for the nobleman to reward the noble, so he has never seen even the nobleman's subordinates to reward the noble.

Pillow Spring was very tired all day, and at night I skimmed two anecdotes of wild history that I had brought in, and then slept lazily.

The next day, Yulan asked her to get up early, and since she wanted to go to say hello for the first time, she couldn't be wrong at all. Crow Qing combs it into a simple and symmetrical bun, and decorates it with blue and white fancy sideburns on the left and right. Wearing a light cyan cardigan with large sleeves and a snow-green long skirt, he looks quite neat and cautious.

Because the middle palace was empty, the usual invitations were at Concubine Qishu, but this first time the invitation was different, so it was moved to the Queen Mother's Fengyi Palace. Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi is sitting on the top seat, with a phoenix crown, and the left and right are Qi Shufei Xue and Mi Concubine Shi. And then down are Jiang Concubine and Lian Guiren.

The ten upstarts are listed according to their positions, Luo skirts are like weaving, fat powder incense array, bow their heads together, and a crisp female voice like a warbler comes from Fengyi Palace: "The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Get up, they're all good boys." Mrs. Zhuang Yi was followed by charity and joy.

This is the first time that Pillow Spring has secretly looked at the Queen Mother with her afterglow. Empress Dowager Wen of Zhuang Yi is also a strange woman in the Great Wei Kingdom.

I heard that the talented people who were first sealed when they entered the inner court were not favored by the first emperor, and they had not been promoted to the title for several years in the palace, and they were despised from time to time. Until the Northern Barbarians repeatedly violated the border, the first emperor personally conquered for a year. In the absence of the Son of Heaven, the harem was very bad, and there were many strange injustices. Therefore, Wen Cai people are not favored, so they save their lives, and when the first emperor returns to the dynasty, most of the old people will die of incense, and the first emperor is very sad. It is precisely because the clothes are not as good as the newcomers, and at this time, the first emperor cherished the warm talents. Later, in the next few years, he progressed into noble concubines, concubines, and concubines, although he did not have children, but he taught his adopted son to become the emperor who is now thundering, so that the first emperor was established as the crown prince and succeeded her as the queen. The first emperor's queen mother went ahead, and the empress dowager Zhuang Yi only served as the queen for one year before becoming the queen mother. It is said that if a woman has no fertility, there is no hope, but I didn't expect Wen to be so tenacious.

When it comes to the woman who teaches Lejing, this Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi is really a strong woman who is good at Taoguang and refuses to give in.

But now it looks like the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi is wearing a gorgeous dress full of phoenix embroidery, and the pure gold flower crown on her head is extremely precious, and each flower core has a pearl of mirror-colored light the size of a dragon's eye. Pillow Chun was born in the family of the eunuch, and his mother's family was also considered a nobleman, but he had never seen such a gorgeous flower crown. Such an expensive pearl is a mirror-colored pearl produced by precious sea ears, and it is possible to get one in tens of thousands of sea ears, and only one in a hundred can get such a flawless pearl. And the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi has a flower crown on her head, and there are a full nine.

It really makes Pillow Chun sigh that the royal wealth is unimaginable.

"It's all in a certain way, and it's very beautiful." Concubine Qi Shu is also dressed up today, twisting a droplet-shaped translucent sapphire pendant in her ear, her eyes seem to be nothing, and she gently swept over Concubine Mi.

Pillow Chun stood behind him, secretly glanced at Concubine Mi, and felt that her face was beautiful. I saw that the beauty was not taboo, wearing a pomegranate red inlaid treasure cardigan, a total of 12 gold skirts, each embroidered with silk purple clouds, the whole person treasure pearl, unspeakably expensive. Speaking of appearance, the bright eyes are full of spring light, and the lip petals are fresh like flowers, which is really worthy of the clouds and the Luo Shen posture of the eyebrows.

Concubine Mi didn't look at Concubine Qi, twisted her hand and brushed her bun, revealing her slender jade fingers dyed red danko, and her voice was charming and pleasant: "Not all of them are generally beautiful." The Queen Mother, you see, if you talk about dignified temperament, Mo nobles are extremely beautiful. ”

That's a strange thing to say. Concubine Mi was personally selected by the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi to enter the palace, so she is naturally the Empress Dowager's person, and she should be in the same breath as Mo Guiren. Concubine Fang Caimi's words, on the surface, were praising the Mo nobles in front of the Queen Mother, but now that everyone is looking at them, it is inevitable that they are too conspicuous.

Mo Guiren is a clever person, and he thanked him again and again: "I am very happy to be praised by Concubine Mi Niangniang." The Mo nobleman was slender, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and only tilted his wrist and pointed out: "The concubine feels that among the sisters who entered the palace together, Zhao Cairen is the most bright." ”

Everyone followed what she pointed to, and sure enough, they saw a stunning beauty, and she was independent. That Zhao Cairen's alluring appearance is like a fairy, and the indescribable charm in his eyebrows is still above Concubine Mi. She replied lightly, and said softly and gently: "Thank you, Noble Mo." ”

Concubine Mi looked as usual, and she couldn't see any clues, but she praised: "It's really beautiful." ”

Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi bowed her head again and again, but leaned slightly on the phoenix chair before saying: "I look at it and see that it is water and spiritual, and the mourning family likes it very much, and it is very satisfying." It's just that the mourning family has repeated headaches and fatigue in the spring this year, and they can't even look carefully with their eyes, but it's a pity that Zhao Cairen's good looks are good. ”

When Concubine Qi heard this, she shook the gem in her ear slightly, frowned, and said as if she was a little white: "I want to come to the Queen Mother, and I will be able to be safe in a few days." ”

Mo Guiren was slightly shorter, with a well-behaved smile on his face: "The concubine heard that the head of Lejing belongs to the Yueyin Temple and prays for blessings the most. However, if there are noble elders in the Jingli family, they will make their favorite children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law go to practice prayers, so that the elders can ensure good health and longevity every year. ”

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment, and their faces changed.

Concubine Qi Shu coughed lightly and said gently: "Mo Guiren really has a heart. However, this practice is nothing more than an old folk custom......"

Concubine Mi raised her eyebrows and interrupted suddenly: "Since it is a miracle, why not for the sake of the Queen Mother's longevity and health." ”

But seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhuang Yi was silent, her eyes fell on the beautiful Zhao Cairen.

Zhao Cairen's heart jumped, and then he hurriedly knelt down, and then spoke with a crying voice: "The Queen Mother-"
