Chapter 84: Concubine Xian

After that, Na Liren turned her gaze behind Madame, "Sister-in-law, are these my two nieces?" Her bright gaze swept towards Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu touched her gaze and felt a slight chill in her heart, the gaze was as cold as ice and snow, and Xiao Yu hurriedly lowered her eyes to avoid it.

Mrs. smiled: "Pan'er, Xiaoyu, why don't you come and meet Concubine Xian Niangniang!" Xiao Yu followed behind Qi Pan and stepped forward to salute together.

Concubine Xian smiled and asked them both to get up, and let Qi Pan and Xiaoyu both walk in front of her. Xiao Yu saw that this concubine had delicate skin, phoenix eyes and a nose, except for one or two inconspicuous fine lines at the corners of her eyes, she looked like a woman in her twenties.

Concubine Xian held one in one hand, carefully looked at it for a long time, and said: "Sister-in-law, when I saw these two girls who were as fresh as shallots, I was shocked to realize that we are really old!" ”

Madame stood aside and said with a smile: "Niangniang still looks like she just entered the palace back then, but the concubine is old!" After that, she and Concubine Xian both had a slight emotion on their faces.

Concubine Xian asked Qi Pan and Xiao Yu what they did and what books they read, but they could write, Xiao Yu answered Qi Pan one by one, she stood aside and looked around with the corner of her eye.

This east room should be the usual living place of Concubine Xian, and on the left hand side of the warm couch is a row of bookshelves, on which some books are placed at random. In the center of the bookshelf there is a small embroidery screen inlaid with ebony inlaid silver, the embroidery screen is delicate and lovely, it is not like the common embroidered patterns such as flowers, birds, landscapes, and figures, but an ingenious embroidered poem, black characters on a white background, it is very good-looking.

There are also some small pieces of purple sand on the shelves, which are smooth and cute, which can be seen to be rubbing and playing all the time. A corner of the curtain can be vaguely seen behind the bookshelf, which should be the place to change clothes.

On the other side of the couch is a one-man tall carved poplar shelf, and a pot of vines that are growing happily is hanging down from the shelf. On one side of the flower stand is a guqin. The walls are decorated with a painting of flowers and birds, and Xiaoyu looks a little like the style of Zhou Guangchao hanging in her house.

On the opposite side of the warm couch is the Bubu brocade lattice window, the window is pasted with the inner shadow veil, and the pane is decorated with a 10,000-character group longevity pattern.

Under the window, there is a rosewood bookcase, the side of the bookcase is a hollow carved picture of the three friends of the year, the case is full of four treasures, a small half of the ninety-nine cold picture is placed on the case, there are a few gold papers scattered next to it, and there are some poems on the paper.

Next to the bookcase is a sweet white porcelain painted lady hairpin vase, in which a few red plums are offered, adding a bit of life to the room.

Concubine Xian repeatedly asked her to sit on the couch beside her, and after several humble gestures, she sat on the edge of the couch. Concubine Xian asked Aunt Jinrong to move two brocade stools for Qi Pan and Xiaoyu, and put half-new and not old apricot-colored brocade on them.

Qi Pan and Xiao Yu repeatedly excused themselves until their wife spoke, and the two of them carefully sat on the brocade stool.

Concubine Xian first said a few words of gossip, and then changed the topic and turned to the Huanxue meeting after the year.

"Concubine Li is gearing up, and she wants to come up with a clever topic to win the emperor's attention!" , Concubine Xian smiled and said lightly.

Mrs. smiled on the side: "That Concubine Li's mother probably won't be able to come up with any good questions, and if she doesn't laugh and be generous, it's good!" After speaking, the two sisters-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

Concubine Li has a beautiful face, but unfortunately her mind is a straw bag, no wonder she has a bad complexion after giving birth, but she has attracted the emperor's disgust.

"Are you two ready?" , As soon as the words turned, Concubine Xian's ice-like gaze slowly swept over.

Qi Pan, who wanted to answer, was suffocated by this gaze, and he was speechless for a while.

Xiao Yu hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to Niangniang's words, because my sister is usually weak, and the courtiers are illiterate when she is young, so this time she may only barely attend the meeting!" Concubine Xian frowned slightly when she heard this, quite moving.

"Sister-in-law, you usually don't care too much about Pan'er!", although Concubine Xian's tone was still light, everyone knew that she was a little displeased.

Qi Pan hurriedly got up and said: "Niangniang, don't blame the mother, it's really the courtier's body is not angry, it was difficult to even get out of bed in previous winters, if it wasn't for the second sister who was willing to help the courtier, I'm afraid the courtier's daughter would no longer be in the world......"

Qi Pan said as he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter, and the last sentence was almost choked up. When the lady heard this, she burst into tears and held back her tears.

Concubine Xian sighed when she saw this, and it was inconvenient to blame Madame anymore. Several people were silent for a long time, but Concubine Xian raised the conversation again and said: "In that case, the two of you will just come to see the excitement." After saying that, she still shook her head a little disappointed.

Mrs. hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, Pan'er usually likes to paint, and her paintings even Mrs. Qin said that they have aura!" ”

"Oh? Pan'er is in good health now? Concubine Xian asked with concern.

Mrs. showed a little joy on her face at this moment, and replied: "Hui Niangniang, Pan'er's health is much better than before, and I invited the imperial doctor to come and see, and the Tao is that if it can go on like this for a long time, it should be able to eliminate the root cause of the disease in three or five years!" “

Concubine Xian nodded, and beckoned Aunt Jinrong to come: "These two little girls are coming to the palace for the first time today, you take them to the garden, don't go far!" Xiao Yu knew that this was Concubine Xian who separated them and had something to say to Mrs., so she and Qi Pan saluted Concubine Xian and followed Aunt Jinrong out.

Jingren Palace is not far from the Imperial Garden, Aunt Jinrong pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Two young ladies, now there are only a few red plum trees in the Imperial Garden that are blooming just right, let's go to the plum blossom side and take a turn." Qi Pan bowed his head and thanked him.

Along the way, Aunt Jinrong smiled and said witty words, but she could say that any little scenery she passed by could be said to be a flower. Qi Pan listened but smiled silently, and Xiaoyu led Aunt Jinrong to pull around.

It's a harsh winter, and there's not much to see along the way in the Imperial Garden. Xiaoyu sighed as he walked, even if it was a beautiful and big garden, there would always be a day when he walked around such a garden for so many years! What's the difference between this palace and a luxurious prison? There isn't even a TV, let alone the internet.

Thinking about this, she can't help but start to miss modern life again, but does she have a day to go back? She remembered the N books she had seen in her previous life, and it seemed that few people had returned to modern times. Xiao Yu shook his head, as if he wanted to drive away all these unfounded thoughts.

Xiao Yu was a very realistic person in her previous life, and she has never cried because she was homesick since she left home in high school to live in school. Her logic is that she can't go back anyway, she can only add to her own blockage by being homesick, so she simply doesn't think about it, and has a better time.

Therefore, even if she traveled to this strange world, she did not bother about it. According to her logic, is anxiety useful? If it's useless, it's better to think more about how to survive.

The three of them walked around in the imperial garden, and after walking for about a stick of incense, they saw a few red plum branches and proud snow branches in the distance. Although it is not as spectacular as the red plum in the Flower Moon Tower the day before yesterday, it is also a rare beauty in this imperial garden.

There is also a swing under the plum tree, and it is rare that the swing board is not covered with snow, so it should have only been taken care of for a short time.

Qi Pan sat on the swing happily when she saw it, she smiled and said to Xiaoyu: "Second sister, I haven't sat on a swing yet, I was sick before, my mother was afraid that I would be playful, so I secretly went to the yard to play the swing, so I dismantled the swing!" ”

Xiao Yu looked at the smiling girl now, and it was hard to believe that she was the sick and silent girl she was a few months ago.

When Xiao Yu heard Qi Pan say this, a trace of distress rose in his heart, and Qi Pan spent his time on the sickbed at the age when he should be carefree.

After she hurriedly saluted Aunt Jinrong, she stood next to the swing and gently pushed Qi Pan. At first, Qi Pan was so nervous that he clenched the rope with both hands and didn't dare to open his eyes, but after a few more swings, Qi Pan began to cautiously open his eyes, feeling the breeze blowing in his face, and the petals falling from the plum trees.

Seeing that Qi Pan had slowly relaxed, Xiao Yu gradually increased the power of pushing the swing. Qi Pan screamed a little, swinging higher and higher, his hair and clothes fluttering in the wind. A gust of wind blows, the falling plum blossoms are as colorful as snow, the beauty is elegant like a fairy, the beauty is fluttering, the smile is Yan Yan, this scene is unforgettable.

Seeing Qi Pan, Xiao Yu completely relaxed himself, and slowly reduced his strength. Qi Pan happily shouted to Xiaoque: "Second sister, this feeling is amazing, it's so fun!" ”

Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said, "Big sister, okay, go back and set up a swing in Qixia Courtyard, and let you swing enough every day!" "。

When the swing slowly stopped, Qi Pan reluctantly got off the swing. "Second sister, you can also go up and swing, it's fun!" , Qi Pan was so happy that he forgot that he was in the palace.

Xiaoyu glanced at Aunt Jinrong and said, "I'm afraid of heights, so I won't play, let's be out for a while, let's go back!" ”

After speaking, he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the thin sweat on Qi Pan's forehead. Qi Pan still pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve and said, "Second sister, it's the first time I've been so happy, it turns out that it feels so good to laugh wantonly!" With that, there was a thin mist in her eyes.

Xiao Yu smiled and held Qi Pan's hand and said, "Big sister, you have to believe that everything will be fine in the future, and you will taste all the laughter in the world one by one!" ”

Xiaoyu tidied up the windblown dress for Qi Pan, and brushed the plum petals from her hair, and said with a smile while brushing: "Big sister, I knew that I should have drawn a plum blossom between your eyebrows this morning, and that was the right time!" ”

Qi Pan's eyes lit up and said: "I see that there was a princess in the previous dynasty in the ancient books, and the plum blossoms fell on the forehead and did not go away. “

"Yo, where did the two wild girls come from to occupy the swing of the county lord!" As soon as Qi Pan's words fell, a slightly familiar voice sounded in his ears.
