Chapter 1: The Night Rain of Hibiscus (2)
"You, you...... Let's see if you dare to ignore Uncle Ben. The inner eunuch thought that he couldn't get angry, so he rushed up and grabbed the palace maid's hand, raised his hand and hit it.
"Stop!" I don't like beating women the most in my life, although the internal supervisor can't count men, but this combination of fists and kicks really makes people angry.
"Ah...... Flowers, Lady Stamens. When the prisoner looked back and saw me, he was so frightened that he shrank and fell to his knees.
"Lady Blossom." The maid looked up at me, and saluted with the basket of flowers.
This palace maid looks a little familiar, her body is slender, but she has a pair of big eyes on her face, and her whole person is fresh and refined.
"Get up." I excused her salute and asked kindly, "Which palace are you from?" ”
"The slave maid is on an errand in the Chongguang Palace." The girl's voice was gentle and clear, like a heavenly sound.
Do you work on an errand in the Chongguang Temple? My mind raced, and I tentatively asked, "Your name is Seocho?" ”
"The slave is Seocho. How would the mother know? The maid of the palace looked surprised.
"Last time in Penglai Pavilion, the emperor arranged for you to serve tea." I said amicably.
"Mother, good memory." Seocho's face was slightly red, and he saluted me.
"What are you ...... today?" I asked inexplicably, looking at the flowers in the flower basket in her hand.
"The emperor has been restless lately, so the slave maid wants to pick some new flowers to ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Ming'er interjected: "The emperor has never liked flowers, pillows, sachets and other things, don't you know?" "I know that Ming'er is annoyed by this Seocho to invite pets.
"This is not for making flower pillow sachets, it is for accompanying tea." Seocho didn't see Ming'er's question, and replied softly.
"Tea?" This is unheard of.
"If the mother agrees, the slave can give the mother a sample first." Seocho said with a smile.
It's good that Bao Yuan loves this palace maid so much, why don't I take a closer look at it today, what is so special about her.
Seocho returned to get the tea set, and I waited in the Hibiscus Water Pavilion. A short time later, she came with a tea set and a large celadon sea bowl.
I saw her put a long drum-shaped porcelain in a sea bowl, and the porcelain was exquisitely made and exquisite. After Seocho placed the porcelain, he placed a thin porcelain pot on top of the porcelain. This is followed by tea washing and brewing tea.
When the tea was brewed in the pot, she kept boiling water against the body, and I knew that this was to maintain the temperature of the body and make the tea taste more mellow. At this moment, I saw her scattering the flowers she had just picked into the sea bowl, those flowers were drunk by the hot water, and the flowers were floating and sinking in the shallow water of the sea bowl, which was a visual enjoyment.
sighed in my heart, this Seocho girl is really Lan Xinhui, no wonder Bao Yuan likes her so much.
But when I thought about it, my heart couldn't help but throb violently.
Around him, such beauty will never be less, and I am afraid that there will be more and more in the future.
After tasting the fragrant tea served by Seocho, my mind was calm and serene for some reason, and the girl in front of me was as quiet as a quiet lily of the valley by the water in spring.
I like her a lot, I really like her...... Asked Ming'er to take some silver taels to reward her, but Ruicao refused with a smile, and only said: "If Niangniang is determined to reward the slave maid, then the open space next to the water pavilion will be rewarded to the slave maid, so that the slave and maid can often come here to plant some flowers and plants with tea." ”
I nodded in agreement, and asked with a smile: "You are now the emperor's favorite, it is not a problem where you want to plant, why do you want to come to my Furong Water Pavilion alone, don't you know that this is an ominous place where the palace is grounded?" ”
There was a light smile on Seocho's lips, and she knelt down and replied: "Please forgive the slave and the maid for the crime of courage, there is no place in this palace that is as indisputable and natural as the Niangniang's Furong Water Pavilion, just like the Niangniang's personality." The slave admired it in her heart, so she ......"
This little palace maid is indeed a little different, my grounded years because of this indisputable but "tea idiot" Seocho company, some of the worries, but I don't allow her to tell anyone to come to me.
Self-grounded, Bao Yuan asked Liang Shouzhen to come once, and sent some Tingqi ink and Chengxintang paper. On that day, when I was taking the paper to copy the scriptures, I accidentally saw a medicinal herb written on the end of the last page of a page of paper. I bit my lip and thought: Honeysuckle.
Suddenly, he smiled bitterly, but did he remember this herb game?
The spring cold is not solved, and the Furong Water Pavilion is full of winter, does he really care? Now we have been apart for thirty-one days.
At the end of April, Zhang Xianru's position was connected to the third level, and everyone in the harem looked sideways. Jingyi Road, Xianru advanced Chongyi (Zheng Si Pin), Xiu Yi (Zheng Sanpin), Zhaoyi (Zheng Erpin), the emperor has a will, if you get pregnant, you can be crowned a concubine. In this way, this Zhang Zhaoyi favored the harem for a while.
When I heard it, I didn't have the slightest feeling in my heart, this is a matter of time, the Zhang family has big roots and deep roots, and if Baoyuan wants to envelop them, he must let Zhang Xianru pet the harem, so I can't help but be satisfied, who is grounded? If I can't help but be satisfied, Mrs. Hua Rui is blindly spoiled, how can she Zhang Xianru become bigger?
It's just that, Bao Yuan, Bao Yuan, you can explain it to me, am I so unreasonable?
In May, Zhang Ye added the seal of Sikong, and Zhang Ye's son Zhang Jizhao was promoted to inspect the left servant of the school. In this way, Zhang Ye's power is tilted towards the opposition, and no one can stand out from the right.
Every time Jingyi came to see me, she said that the Zhang family was always worried, only that the Zhang family lived a luxurious life, and it was stronger to buy other people's homestead land, impose heavy taxes on business travelers entering and leaving Shudi, and even set up a private prison in the house to detain people in debt, which caused the anger and resentment of the people in Shudi.
It's just that Bao Yuan ignored it, or blindly favored Zhang Ye and Zhang Xianru, now it is already the world of Zhang Ye in the previous dynasty, and the harem is favored by Zhang Xianru alone, and the Zhang family is extremely favored.
Before you know it, it's June, and the hibiscus in the Dragon Leap Pond outside the Water Pavilion has already shown its stamens.
When I got up in the morning, I smelled the lotus fragrance, sat lazily in front of the dressing table, and remembered that I hadn't made up in the mirror for a long time.
In the dim bronze mirror, the face is still pretty, the eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like snow, and the teeth are like shellfish, but only the original apricot eyes have lost their brilliance.
"Yangzhou bronze is a mirror, and there is no shadow in the dark." My flesh and soul are mortal, after all, I still have a lot of resentment.
Cheered up and put on a plain white Luo skirt, sniffed the morning breeze and walked into the courtyard, the peach blossoms had fallen, and only the green was left in the garden, so I was finally a little angry.
Looking at the temple on the other side, Meng Lang, are you okay now? It's been 91 days since I was separated from you, do you miss Rui'er? Do you know that she is just an ordinary woman, and now she has accumulated a lot of resentment and resentment in her heart, even if she sincerely recites the Heart Sutra, it is difficult to eliminate her resentment against you.
There is a faint music of sheng and drums on the side of the Dragon Leap Pool, and today I don't know which palace has set up a banquet for the beauties of the palace.
I heard Jingyi say that Wang Jingchong, a general of the Later Han Dynasty who had defeated the Shu army in early June and was stationed in Fengxiang, sent an envoy to surrender at the beginning of the month due to the civil strife in the Later Han regime. Bao Yuan was overjoyed and gave Wang Jingchong's house and servants.
In this way, Bao Yuan swept away the discouragement after the defeat of the army that day, and became high-spirited, and followed the advice of Zhang Ye and others, and set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the generals of the Han State. And Wang Jingchong also knew how to repay the peach, and presented many beauties and treasures to Baoyuan.
Listening to Jinyan, now the palace sings every night, and the new concubines often make trouble out of control for favor, and Zhang Xianru often intervenes with Zhaoyi's shelf, but Jingyi retreats to the Changchun Palace and ignores the world.
When I heard it at first glance, I was not angry, and I wrote a poem to ask Jinyan to turn and Bao Yuan.
The Lingbo Hall of the Taixu High Pavilion leans against the pillow pool of the city wall.
The courts are divided into women's positions, and the sheep cart is not taught everywhere.
This poem was originally written in a moment of righteous anger, but I didn't want to get into trouble, Bao Yuan not only did not lift my grounding because of this, but issued a strict decree that no one was allowed to visit me again, and Jinyan seemed to be affected by this, and was grounded in the Feiluan Pavilion.
The day I received the will, I was really disheartened, and he really became unrecognizable. It's me who is stupid, and I'm still blindly waiting here, believing that he has a hard time, believing that he has a last resort, and believing in the "honeysuckle" from his book, so I am waiting hard for him to pick me up one day. It's me who is stupid, it's me who is stupid!
There was a beautiful song floating in my ears, I sighed silently, looking at the other side, the figure under the hibiscus wood flashed, and I turned around, it turned out to be Ling Xuan.
After self-confinement, Bao Yuan banned the visits of others, and now the only outsiders who can enter and exit in this Furong Water Pavilion are Ling Xuan, who invites Ping An every day.
