9. Flower viewing
The size difference between Wangyun Pavilion and Yingxiang Pavilion is not too much, the difference is that Wangyun Pavilion is high. There is also a rule in the name of the palace pavilion in the palace, if it is a low-lying place, it will definitely not take the word Wangyun. Climb high to see from afar, as soon as you hear the name, you will know the approximate.
Shainin came neither early nor late. If you come too early, everyone will inevitably sit coldly and have nothing to say, and if you come late, it will make people feel that they are putting up a shelf.
Liu Cairen and Sun Cainu had already arrived, and Liang Meiren was sitting there drinking tea and talking with the two of them. When Xie Ning came in, Liu Cairen's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly stood up to greet him. Sun Cainu's grade is lower, of course, she has to meet her.
Liang Meiren hesitated there. Her rank is higher than Xie Ning, and she doesn't need to get up to greet her. But today she specially invited someone, and she should be more polite.
After such a hesitation, Xie Ning had already entered the house and arrived at her, and she was still sitting and didn't get up.
Xie Ning didn't mind, she smiled at Liang Meiren and saluted: "Sister Liang is good." ”
Liang Meiren felt like she had been pricked by a needle, and she got up in a bit of a panic and returned the salute: "Sister Xie is here, sister don't be polite, they are all their own sisters." ”
Liu Cairen saw it clearly from the side, and his evaluation of Liang Meiren fell again.
said it was his own sister, so he was sitting so arrogantly waiting for someone to say hello just now? What's so great about a beauty? Who doesn't know that the emperor has forgotten about her, and he hasn't summoned her for more than a year. Now Baba's post invites people to come to enjoy the flowers, and people are not good at showing their faces, and she has to put up a shelf with Joe.
Does this mean that you want to reconcile with people?
Such a stupid and dull person, with a beautiful face in white, no wonder the emperor doesn't want to see her.
After Xie Ning took his seat, Feng Cairen also came, and everyone was polite again.
Of the five people in the house, Liang Mei has a good life and is dressed up very carefully, and she should be the most eye-catching one among everyone. She wore a step shake on her head, and the tassel below swayed on the side of her face.
Xie Ning doesn't like to wear this, he always feels that those tassels and long spikes are eye-catching, not to mention the dangling obstruction, which makes people irritable. Not to mention wearing this, you have to be extra careful when you turn around and turn back, otherwise if you make a big move, Suizi is likely to be thrown up and slapped in the face.
She was pumped by herself.
Let's talk about the most inconspicuous one, it must be Sun Cainu. She is the lowest grade, her face is not brilliant, her nose is fleshy, her lips are thick, and she is a little shorter. The skin was supposed to be very delicate, but the thickness of the puff covered it. I was wearing a high-waisted skirt, and I didn't even have a waist in the upper and lower buckets, so I couldn't find an advantage from head to toe.
The other three people were all dressed up in the same way, and Shainin was not more conspicuous than the others.
Liu Cairen looked at Xie Ning, and secretly judged in his heart for a long time, and then came to the word pleasing to the eye.
Li Zhaorong was late, and the first few people in the room stood up together to welcome her in.
She has the highest rank, and she is no longer of the same class as these people in the back garden. The person with the highest status can always be the last to arrive, and it is only natural that others will wait.
"I'm late, sisters, don't be surprised."
Everyone said polite words one after another. The title of the sister and sister in the palace is generally not ranked by age, but by status and seniority. Li Zhaorong was born at an age, older than Xie Ning and Sun Cainu, but younger than Liang Meiren and others. But so what, doesn't Liang Meiren have to call Sister Li obediently? People's grades are two steps higher than you, you go up and shout your sister to try? Isn't that a lack of heart?
So Li Zhaorong has the confidence to call them sister, and they have to call them sister politely and respectfully.
Liang Meiren invited her camellia out.
The flowers are very good, a total of four pots of flowers are lined up on the low table under the hem of the porch, Xie Ning doesn't know much about flowers, but it doesn't prevent her from enjoying them with everyone.
Li Zhaorong is also looking at people by appreciating the flowers.
She heard that there was a Xie Cairen in the back garden who was summoned. Xie Cairen? The talented person she knows surnamed Xie is Xie Ning, and he lived in a room when he first entered the palace.
But it's been a long time, and the earlier impression has been blurred.
I didn't know anyone very well at the time, but I remember that people were very quiet, and they often had a faint smile on their faces. It's not eye-catching, and it's very comfortable to look at.
Now that I look at it, my eyebrows and eyes are still vaguely the same as before, but they have grown a little longer. The skin is good, like white and pure rice paper, the eyebrows are bent in light ink, and the eyes are as if they were drawn with a pen. I also used a little rouge on my lips, and the depth of the halo was even, and the red was like a bewitching peach petal in crushed March, which was very lovely.
Looking pleasing to the eye, it reminds people of the green water spring mountain, so soft and soft.
Li Zhaorong has not been favored recently, and looking at Xie Ning's eyes, it is inevitable that he is a little subtle.
Seriously, she didn't come here today to enjoy the camellia at all, she just heard that Xie Ning was also here. It's not to look at flowers, it's to look at people.
It would be too cheap to turn her back and tie up a small talent with her status, but there is no harm in knowing yourself and your opponent. Look at what she is good about, which attracts the emperor, and she knows it in her heart.
Once upon a time, people in the harem were staring at Chen Jieyu. Because she is favored, what she wears, what she wears, what incense she wears, what incense she drinks, and what tea she drinks are imitated, and the reason for the imitation is that everyone thinks that the emperor should love these, so if you learn it according to the way, maybe you can also be liked by the emperor.
Li Zhaorong didn't think so. A person has a person's appearance and temperament, and others can't learn both form and spirit if they want to learn. Just like Chen Jieyu likes to use dark cherry red lip grease to draw the two lips moist and red, people's lips are small, and they look like cherries. But if you learn from her with a big mouth, it is really a bloody mouth, can you learn it?
The relationship between Liang Mei and Li Zhaorong is a bit of a pimple. Liang Meiren was the first of their group of people to enter the palace, but Li Zhaorong came from behind, and Liang Meiren inevitably felt that she had taken away her favor. Not to mention that she had to be crowned a beauty, but Li Zhaorong pressed her and became Zhaorong.
It's still polite to meet each other, but the taste in my heart is complicated and indescribable.
But now that they meet again, both of them are yesterday's yellow flowers, and this Xie Caicai, who doesn't seem to be obvious, is an upstart.
Liang Meiren didn't expect to be able to accomplish anything with a meeting, she was arrogant at first, she felt that she was born well, and she went ahead of others. After two years of sitting on the cold bench, some arrogance has been smoothed out, and I have to lower my body to find another way. Xie Ning befriended her here first, and she would always be able to see the opportunity after a long time.
The determination is made, but the action is stumbling and not smooth. She didn't take a good handle when Xie Ning entered the house just now, and now when she was enjoying the flowers, it was actually a good time to take the opportunity to talk, but she hesitated. Li Zhaorong is the highest status, and it is not easy to leave it behind. Xie Ning has a Liu Cairen and a Sun Cainu who are clinging to each other, she can't get up with it if she wants to go any further, and she doesn't talk to Li Zhaorong here, and both ends are in vain.
Liu Cairen was courteous and asked, "Which tea plant does Sister Xie like here?" ”
Raising his hand not to hit the smiling person, Xie Ning was also polite: "This white tea is good, what do you think of Liu Cairen?" ”
Liu Cairen smiled: "I think this red plant is good." ”
These four pots of camellia are in good condition, and the rightmost pot is still two-colored. The same flower, half yellow and half red, is as rare as someone who has dyed it with a pen.
However, Shainin still likes the white pot, the flowers are as big as the mouth of a teacup, white and fragrant, and it looks so stretched and clean.
Sun Cainu followed aside, she didn't make much noise from beginning to end, and it was so quiet that people almost forgot her existence.
After admiring the flowers for a while, Liang Meiren invited everyone to eat tea again. The tea is good tea, but Li Zhaorong just touched his lips, and Xie Ning only took a sip lightly.
Even if it was just such a mouthful, Qinghe stood beside him and became nervous.
Everyone in the palace is cautious and will never eat or drink in unfamiliar places. When Xie Ning came, Qinghe still wanted to tell his own talents to be careful, but after thinking about it, he felt that the talented people should know it, so he didn't say much.
Who knows what Liang Meiren's heart is? Jealous people are prone to crazy things, and 10,000 years of caution is not too much.
Especially the entrance things, more beware.
But now in front of everyone, Qinghe can't stop her.
Fortunately, the talented man only took such a small sip and did not mean to drink the whole cup.
Looking at the others, except for Sun Cainu and Feng Cairen, who really drank it, the tea in the other people's cups was not much less.
"Think about when we first entered the palace to learn the rules, I remembered that Sister Li Zhaorong was the fastest and best one to learn."
Li Zhaorong smiled: "Where, I remember that Sister Liang is much more proficient in reciting internal laws and regulations than me." It's Sun Cainu, who always falls first, and is not punished by the Shang Palace. ”
Sun Cainu responded a little sluggishly, and she couldn't even answer a polite word.
Liang Meiren secretly scolded herself for being stupid and ignored her anymore.
At that time, they were all killed in the siege, and many beauties were selected in various states and counties, the oldest was seventeen years old, and the youngest was only twelve years old, adding up to seven or eight hundred. In the end, if you compare the people left, you can still distinguish between the high and the low. Sun Cainu belongs to the bottom type, her appearance and figure are not outstanding, and she is not clever enough.
Li Zhaorong's purpose of coming to Wangyun Pavilion has been achieved, but Liang Meiren is anxious, she wants to talk to Xie Cairen, but there has been no progress so far.
I knew that it was better to invite only one Xie Cairen, and it was great to invite another escort, but now that there are more people invited, it is inconvenient to do anything.
This well-planned flower viewing party was in vain, so how could Liang Meiren be reconciled?
was thinking about what else to do, and the palace people suddenly came in to report that Chen Jieyu was here.
