Chapter Ninety-Six: Enter the Palace to Meet You
The halo of light sprinkled on the dark carved hollow windows, reflecting the people in the pavilion with creamy skin, became more and more bright and moving.
Waiters come and go frequently, and slender jade hands hold vermilion lacquered wooden boxes and enter one after another.
When Xue Hainiang walked into the dormitory of Chonghua Palace, the scene she saw was like this.
Xue Hainiang casually asked the waiter to inquire, only to know that it was Nan Jiuxi who sent someone to reward the cloth fat powder.
Walking to the dormitory with a strange mood, in front of the vermilion lacquer door, the waiter saw that it was Hai Niang, and hurriedly gave a salute to report that he had entered the palace. About half a pillar of incense, the waiter greeted her with a smile like a flower, and said that the little master called her in.
Gently lifting the swaying and charming cage gauze natural cloud tassel curtain, the delicate and graceful shadow is smiling and standing on one side to command.
It was Xue Hainiang who took the lead in calling with a smile 'little master', and the person who looked quite busy was stunned, and after relieving himself, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold her lotus arm, her beautiful eyes contained a little mist, and she almost cried with joy, "I have been having trouble sleeping and eating lately, although I know that you are smart and cautious, but I am worried after all when you are in that pear Jiaotang." ”
After that, Liang Bairou looked at Cai Xi again, and repeatedly instructed her to bring the cassava ball horseshoe soup and jade biyun cake prepared today.
"Sister Lao Liang is worried about Hai Niang, Xue is jealous of Sister Liang, although she deliberately finds me in the wrong place, but I am cautious, she can't succeed......" Xue Hainiang covered her slender and soft hair, and smiled.
Not long after, the cassava ball horseshoe soup and the jade cloud cake have been presented, the Huanyue peach pink shirt is added, and the weeping clouds are in a double hairpin with a bloody cuckoo, which makes her face more beautiful and elegant, and the corners of her lips are smiling.
Xue Hainiang's eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at it and smiled, "Huanyue is very radiant today, but I remember that the rhododendron flowering season should be late spring and early summer, how can I still see such a red rhododendron in autumn now?"
Huanyue lowered her head and smiled shyly, "Miss Xue praises falsely, the hairpin on the slave's bun is not a cuckoo, but made of colored paper and dyes. ”
"You go for the past few days, this little girl loves to mess with herself more and more, yesterday I rewarded her with a pair of red agate gold bracelets, she was actually bargaining with me, thinking about the pair of gilt red jade and colorful phoenixes in my bauhinia box, and shook ......" Liang Bairou covered her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes contained a slight smile.
Xue Hainiang cleared her throat tactfully, smiled and quipped, "As the so-called woman is the one who pleases herself, it is also appropriate for the daughter's family to love beauty and dress up more, otherwise how to find a wishful husband in the future?"
When Huanyue heard this, her cheeks were red like Jiaoxia, she hung her head in shame, and said in a low voice: "Miss Xue has been out of the Chonghua Hall for a few days, but her temperament is broken...... "After saying goodbye, she didn't stay anymore, and trotted away.
"It's very good for you to treat Huanyue Caixi, I'm afraid that even the palace can't find a little master like you. Xue Hainiang looked at her panicked shadow, and turned her eyes to stare at Liang Bairou and smiled.
"Although I and her two have not grown up since childhood, but since I returned to the Liang Mansion, she has taken care of and helped the two of them, and now she has entered the palace with me, I have sworn in my heart that one is prosperous and one is lost. Liang Bairou said softly, and her beautiful eyes were as warm as Qinghui.
Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, raised her hand to hold the ink carved white porcelain bowl, and put some cassava balls and horseshoe soup in front of Liang Bairou to divert the topic.
The waning moon hangs high, and the night seems to splash ink.
A faint silver glow seeps into the carved red sandalwood hollow windows and casts mottled silhouettes, the candles are swaying, the curtains are charming, and the beauties cry tears behind the double-sided silver screen.
Xue Hainiang's jade body leaned against the wall of the pear blossom barrel, the warm smoke rose up, and the jade appearance of Qiongzi was slowly dyed with a touch of red, like a delicate glow.
Xue Qiaoling's beautiful voice is still in her ears, and when she was leaving today, Xue Qiaoling agreed to the three conditions she proposed, and then proposed to beg Nan Jiuxi to allow her father and mother to enter the palace for a visit.
And the 'mother' in her mouth is not her biological mother Lin, but Mrs. Xue Fu.
When Xue Hainiang learned of this, Yurong suddenly changed and was shocked, Xue Qiaoling and her mother Lin have always been at odds with her mother, when they were in Xue's mansion in the past, the two of them privately didn't know what kind of secret accusation they had, and now she proposed it......
"Although the Lin family is my mother-in-law, but my wife is also my mother-in-law, although I miss my mother-in-law, I can't wait to accept her knees, but I also know, the emperor promised my father and mother to enter the palace to meet with me, how dare I make rude requests again, I am happy to respond. Xue Qiaoling's clumsy excuse is still in her ears, and she can't get rid of it.
Xue Hainiang slowly closed her water-like eyes, covering the pain and self-blame.
In the end, she was not filial, and she couldn't accept Huanniang's knees, and she was imprisoned when she entered the palace, and now she had to watch others drag her into the quagmire.
Xue Hainiang once imagined that if she was elected on the day of the palace, she would not deliberately lose the election, and now even if her honor cannot be compared with Liang Bairou, she will definitely not fall into such a situation, like walking on the edge of a sword, trembling.
It's just that after experiencing the previous life, how could she indulge herself like this and ask for that momentary pleasure!
"Girl, Miss Xue—"
In a trance, an insincere light cry came into her ears, Xue Hainiang opened her eyes in confusion, and shouted loudly: "Who is here?"
"It's me Caixi. ”
When Xue Hainiang heard this, she expected to know that Liang Bairou was looking for her, and she lost her interest in taking a bath for a while, so she got up and stepped out of the bathtub to take off the silk dress hanging on the screen and put it on.
By the time Xue Hainiang half-pulled her wet black hair and walked to the outer room with lotus steps, it had already passed about a quarter of an hour.
When Cai Xi looked up, what he saw was the swaying skirt of the bathing beauty, and the jade face was not stained with lead, her ink hair was half pulled, as if she could see water droplets dripping dew, and the three-foot lotus foot moved lightly, and the end was lazy and shallow, luxurious and self-generated.
Cai Xi stepped forward with a smile, cleared her throat and tactfully, "Miss Xue, the servant of Chonghua Palace, looks very beautiful with light makeup on weekdays, but according to me, Miss Xue's appearance of clear water out of hibiscus and natural carving is really as beautiful as a fairy." ”
Xue Hainiang lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, "I don't know, but the little master informed you to come to me?"
Cai Xi bowed his head slightly, "Today's meal in the imperial dining room is delicious, quite loved by the little master, the little master ate a few more bites without noticing for a while, and now he only feels that he has a belly, and he heard the waiter mention that the red carp in the thousand carp pond is beautiful, and specially informed me to come to the West Chamber to call the girl to go over." ”
Xue Hainiang bowed her head, said goodbye, changed her shirt and went with her.
The curtain of flowing beads and fairy feathers sways with the wind, the incense mist on the carved gilt copper tripod curls, and the refreshing fragrance has lingered in all corners of the hall in a short time.
"Little master, the slave and maid look at the streamer and floating brocade that the emperor ordered to reward yesterday is very good-looking, and the patterns and tones on it are very suitable for night travel, so it is better to let the slave and maid change it for you. Huanyue looked at her little master Qiong Ziyu in the mirror and smiled slyly.
