The woman's voice was as clear as a pearl: "This phoenix is proud, and there are hundreds of flowers next to it, and the color does not have to be too bright, just use the dark purple silk thread to twist a thin silver thread into a strand, so that the tone is soft and not dull, not dazzling in the daylight, and slightly gentle and luster under the candlelight." Then on the edge of each phoenix feather with the finest purple Ying beads and dark green tourmaline beads alternately nail beads, purple Ying and dark purple silk thread depth staggered, tourmaline has the effect of calming the gods, it is also known as longevity stone, the color can suppress the beauty of the hundred flower silk threads. Finally, beeswax beads are used at the head of the phoenix, beeswax is the favorite blessing object of Tibetan Buddhism, and the color is also stable and generous. In this way, I think the Queen Mother will have no objections. ”

After she finished speaking, her fingers as white as jade rose and fell lightly, like a jade butterfly flying among the flowers. The emperor watched for a long time, but when he saw everyone surrounding the woman, he only felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was, and he couldn't see her face clearly.

But after a while, the woman said, "I have already embroidered a feather, look at it, is this okay?" ”

Before she finished speaking, the emperor had already stepped in and said with a smile: "Then I can also take a look?" ”

When everyone heard the emperor's voice, they were startled, and hurriedly asked An Dao: "The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "Where did such a sensitive embroidery girl come from, I also want to take a look, what kind of new look is she embroidered, everyone listens to her?" ”

Everyone hurriedly got up, and the woman stood in the middle of the crowd, because everyone was wearing dark purple palace maid clothes, she was dressed in a light moon-white lake crepe jacket, and only embroidered a few epiphany flowers when they were in full bloom with royal blue and silver thread. For a while, it looked particularly fresh and dazzling among everyone, just like the dark clusters of petals, and the stamens were extraordinarily lovely. Under the emperor's closer look, the woman lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, but the clouds and temples were piled up, like light smoke and dense fog, all of them were made of flying gold pearls with silver inlaid emerald plum blossoms, and only a little amethyst spike fell from the center of her eyebrows, like a branch of hibiscus Qingman on the Lingbo, which seemed to be dressed up inadvertently, but she had ulterior motives everywhere.

The emperor's appreciation in his heart was even more: "I am familiar with your voice......"

The woman raised her face, her face was slightly dizzy, and she was shy and timid: "The concubine is showing off, which makes the emperor laugh." ”

The emperor couldn't help but say, "Hailan, it's you." He looked at the phoenix feather she had just embroidered, and sure enough, the color scheme was calm and beautiful: "I saw the phoenix feather you embroidered, not only the queen mother will not have any objections, but I am already going to praise the festival." How did you come up with it? ”

Hailan's gentle smile was like a new hibiscus: "The concubine remembered the rosewood inlaid tourmaline Buddha beads that the queen mother often held in her hands, so she matched this color." If it weren't the Queen Mother's favorite, she wouldn't have taken it with her often. ”

"Everyone sees it, but you have the most heart." The tenderness and approval in the emperor's eyes became more and more densely intertwined, and he came closer and said, "Why didn't you know you had such a mind before?" ”

Hailan smiled charmingly: "The mind is hidden in the heart, and it is easy to see." ”

"It's a coincidence that I've seen them all today." The emperor's gaze moved down slightly, and he smiled, "Why are you embroidered with epiphany?" ”

Hailan Yingying said: "Because it is a fleeting flower, I thank it after blooming, and I want to keep it for a long time, so I embroider it on my body." ”

The emperor bowed his head and said, "Now is the season of epiphany. But you have to like it, and next summer, I will have a lot of people sent to your palace. ”

Hailan was a little sad, shook her head and said, "No one sees the flowers blooming, what's the point of having more." ”

The emperor took her hand and walked out and said, "When the epiphany blooms next year, I will definitely accompany you." It's just that the flowers are blooming today, how can I live up to it? He whispered, with a bit of tenderness and intimacy: "I remember the first time I saw you, it was in the embroidery room of the palace, and you were also dressed in such a moon-white, beautiful and dusty ......."

Hailan smiled, turned sideways slightly, and touched the emperor's arm.

Qin Li watched the emperor take Hailan away with a smile, and he didn't feel anxious, and followed: "Your Majesty, ......"

Li Yuben followed behind the emperor, and when he saw him like this, he scolded and said: "If you don't have the eyesight to see the child, haven't you seen that the emperor wants to accompany the sea nobles?" Don't follow. ”

In this way, by the time of the Double Ninth Festival Night Banquet, Hailan had become a favored woman like Concubine Mei and Concubine Hui, looking at the splendid singing and dancing of the hall, and showing a calm and bright smile in the emperor's affectionate eyes.

By October, the weather was getting colder. On the table of Yanxi Palace, Hangzhou silk and satin sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were stacked at random, and the horses were stacked there, with all colors and patterns. Ye Xin smiled and groaned: "Since the little lord has been favored, the Internal Affairs Office has been very stammered, and the Hangzhou silk that we used to have to come or not to come is now enough to reward the subordinates." ”

Hailan was wearing a brand-new magnolia purple embroidered silver flower palace dress, with a color of jasper beads on her head, hanging down and green, like a vein of verdant orchid leaves. She smiled disappreciatively, stretched out her hand and teased casually: "Wouldn't it be a pity to give such a good thing to your subordinates?" She said in a low voice: "Have you prepared all the cotton clothes I asked you to send to the cold palace?" ”

Ye Xin smiled: "The little master is not at ease again!" Last night, you chose your own thick new cotton and sewed it overnight, and you can see that your eyes are dark, which is more careful than the Fushou pillow quilt for the two little brothers. ”

Hailan smiled a little embarrassedly, pulling a few reeds in the celadon amphora in a daze. Suddenly, the brocade curtain flashed outside, but it was the pure concubine who came in, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, my sister is very different." It's really three days, and it's impressive. ”

Hailan affectionately took the hand of the pure concubine and sat down and said: "Niangniang doesn't know about concubines yet, but the emperor remembered it for a while, and he was just interested for a moment." ”

The pure concubine slightly concealed her loss, and smiled kindly: "Are you still so polite to this palace?" In the past half a month, the emperor has been able to catch up with you and Concubine Hui Guifei. Concubine Mei and Concubine Hui have always been favored, but you, but the upstart is straight, how many people in the palace envy you. ”

Hailan sneered lightly: "Where is the upstart, it's just an old love that is occasionally remembered." By the way, Niangniang, why did you come to see the concubine at this time? ”

The pure concubine turned her eyes around, Hailan understood, and said: "The refreshments are here, I will talk to the pure concubine, and you don't have to wait." ”

The crowd hurriedly withdrew, and the temple was as quiet as a deep pool that had been accumulated for a long time. Seeing that there was no one around, Fang sank her face, clenched the silk tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Last time, my sister asked the palace to pay attention, and the palace went to listen one by one." I really don't want to, those people actually listened to the queen's words like this and harmed the third elder brother of the palace. On the surface, he loves the third elder brother, but in fact, he doesn't teach anything, he doesn't help anything, once the emperor asks, he only says that the third elder brother is greedy for food and sleep, and he doesn't know anything else, and he won't know anything else. also blamed the mother and son of the palace for being stupid, the emperor alienated the son of the palace like this, and he was still in the dark. The pure concubine said anxiously: "If it reaches the point where my sister said that the prince was abandoned by the emperor, what hope does the third elder brother have in the future!" ”

Hailan exclaimed: "The concubine was just suspicious that day, I didn't think that the queen was really like this, but she was also the mother of the third elder brother." Seeing that the pure concubine gritted her teeth with hatred, she said softly: "Has that lady ever thought of a way to let the queen mother have no time to take care of harming the third elder brother so much, so that she can also feel sorry for her son." ”

The pure concubine's eyes moved slightly, looked at the tea in the cup, and said slowly: "This palace wants to breathe a bad breath, but it's just ......" Her voice gradually lowered, helpless: "It's just that the queen has always been careful, even the second elder brother's clothes and use, even the quilt and pillow, are all sewn by herself, not to mention the diet and daily life, I am afraid that it is impermeable and cannot be ......."

Hailan helped the beaded flowers swaying slightly on the bun, the texture of the jasper, slightly cold in the palm of her hand, she smiled faintly, got up and took a set of Fushou pillow quilts: "A little heart for the third elder brother, do you like it?" ”

The pure concubine glanced at it a few times, and said in surprise: "Isn't this what the queen did for the second elder brother?" ”

Hailan's smile was hidden and slight: "Does Niangniang also think it's very similar?" ”

The pure concubine carefully flipped through and flipped through, looked at it and looked at it: "Really not?" It's almost exactly the same, and it can be real. ”

Hailan knew that it was gentle and harmless: "I saw it in the courtyard of my brother's house that day, so I tried to make one." ”

"What a coincidence my sister's hands!" The pure concubine was puzzled, "But the size of this set of pillow quilts is too big for the third elder brother, I'm afraid it won't fit." ”

Hailan looked at her eyes, almost looking into her heart, and said in her heart: "Then whoever Niangniang thinks is suitable, let's change it to whomever it is." Anyway, it's all the concubine's intention to the third elder brother, and others don't need to know it, and they can't see it. ”

The pure concubine's body trembled, and the tip of her nose sweated slightly: "What's the difference?" ”

"The second elder brother has wind chill and lung fever, and he is afraid of cold. The quilt and pillow are sewn with Hangzhou silk, which is very soft to protect the body skin of young children, but the concubines in it are not all cotton, but mixed with reed wadding. The cover looks thick, but it is actually thin, and the wind chill of the second elder brother will be heavier. Let the queen learn a lesson, and don't only love your own children and ignore other people's children in the future. Hailan looked at the pure concubine's expression, "If the mother doesn't dare, it will be in vain to be a concubine." Immediately the concubines took it into the fire and burned it, and cleaned one another. ”

The pure concubine's suspicious eyes gradually wavered a little, adding a little hatred and disgust, and said eagerly: "Just a lesson? ”

Hailan's smile was steady and calm, and she said, "Yes." How else can we? If the matter fails, the stitches are the concubines, and they can't rely on others. If it succeeds, the mother will also have this bad breath, isn't it? ”

The pure concubine's hand holding the quilt became tighter and tighter, and she was really reluctant to push it away from the inside, and finally said, "Okay." Tomorrow is the first day of October, and the palace will visit the third elder brother and bring his sister's mind unconsciously. ”

Hailan smiled, held the hand of the pure concubine earnestly, and said in a calm tone: "The concubine is the only one who comes to visit when she is sick, and only the mother takes the concubine to heart and treats her as a sister." The concubine herself is used to being bullied, and she really doesn't want her mother's children to be the same. From now on, those who love the third elder brother will also be counted as a sister. ”

The pure concubine was deeply shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes: "The emperor doesn't love the third elder brother, good sister, everything is only us." ”
