Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Flower of Inauspiciousness

The night is falling, and the years are quiet.

A cloud-like black hair spreads to the waist, dancing gently with the night breeze, with the fragrance of flowers just bathed, making the dark fragrance float in the room.

Liang Bairou treats Xue Hainiang very well, since she entered the Chonghua Hall of Zhongcui Palace, Liang Bairou respects her as the palace maid in charge, allows her to live in the west wing of the Chonghua Palace, and sends the palace maids of the upper and lower palaces of the Chonghua Palace at will.

After returning to Chonghua Hall from the Proton Pavilion, Liang Bairou was afraid that she would be tired, so she was allowed to go back to her room to rest without waiting.

At this time, Xue Hainiang, who was dressed in a plain white dress, walked to the dressing table and sat down, the copper mirror reflected her elegant and beautiful face, although the distant mountain eyebrows were less modified by the green daisy but also the shade was suitable, the phoenix eyes were narrow and long, but it was difficult to see the charm and frivolity, the corners of the eyebrows and eyes were a little cold and thin, Qiong's nose was upturned, and the lips were thin and delicate, but they were slightly pale.

Letting her long hair be messy and untidy, Xue Hainiang took out a box of plaster powder from the bottom of the dark box, opened it gently, and a very faint medicinal fragrance mixed with floral fragrance overflowed, the powder was fine and soft, but it was not as white as snow, but it was a very rare brass color.

She gently dipped her index finger into the powder and tapped it down her eyelid.

After a stick of incense, and then look at the brass-colored mirror, the plain and elegant face no longer exists, the woman's eyelids down and cheeks are full of disgusting spots, not very conspicuous, but if you look closely, it really makes people not have a good feeling.

In this way, Rao is facial features are exquisite, plus the spots on her eyelids and cheeks, and she is really inconspicuous when she puts it in the palace of beauties.

The person in the mirror gently raised the corners of his lips, and a hint of a smile oozed from his phoenix eyes.

——

Just after the next day, Xue Hainiang, who had finished washing, went out with a faint flecked face.

As yesterday, I first went to the imperial dining room to get dinner as usual, and then walked to the Proton Pavilion.

is also wearing a simple and delicate peach-colored skirt, holding the food box with the lotus root, but in addition to the breakfast that was just taken from the imperial dining room, there is a pair of scissors in the bottom of the basket frame.

With yesterday's entry and exit, today seems to be much more familiar.

Push the door in, and you can smell the faint pear fragrance from afar, which is refreshing.

walked to the front of the pavilion and knocked a few times, thinking that the prince of Beichen had not yet gotten up, Xue Hainiang subconsciously let go of his strength.

A very slight 'squeak'.

The person who came was a man in a green shirt, with black hair tied high by a headband, thick eyebrows into the sideburns, starry eyes, a straight nose, and thin and moderate lips with a light smile, handsome and extraordinary.

Lin Yan looked the woman in front of her up and down, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was even worse, "The hard girl has taken a trip." ”

With that, he took the food box.

Xue Hainiang didn't leave, she stayed in place, lowered her eyebrows, and said lightly: "I wonder if Gongzi can give me the scissors at the bottom of the food box?"

Lin Yan was stunned, relieved and smiled, he motioned to Xue Hainiang to wait for a while, brought the food box into the house, and took a pair of scissors after a while.

handed the scissors to Xue Hainiang, and joked with a smile, "The girl is so funny, she came here to deliver meals and bring a pair of scissors." ”

Xue Hainiang said with a smile: "The slave maid was punished by the concubine Niangniang for committing a crime and went to the Proton Pavilion to serve the Beichen prince to eat and live, the Beichen prince has a temperament and Jing does not like to be disturbed by others, but the slave and the maid never dare to forget the identity, this scissors, the slave maid specially asked the Beichen prince to bring to prune the pear tree branches." ”

Lin Yan smiled lightly, but the light in Xue Hainiang's eyes was a little deeper.

"So it bothers the girl. ”

Although Xue Hainiang has never learned the work of a florist, she can be a daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and she has nothing to do in her spare time, so she learns to prune flowers and branches like her mother.

Although the pear tree is different from the potted plants carefully cultivated by the gardeners in the boudoir, the pruning of the flower branches should not be much different.

Xue Hainiang thought about it, so she stepped on the small square table, pulled over the longer branches and leaves and pruned them slightly, Xu was also afraid of bad things, so the pruning range was not too large.

"The branches and leaves of this pear blossom should not be pruned like this. Unconsciously, a chuckle came from behind him, clear and gentle, like gurgling water flowing through his heart.

Xue Hainiang's hand shook, and subconsciously turned her face, this look, it actually made her almost fall off the square table, and stabilized her swaying body, Xue Hainiang got down from the square table, and walked to Beichen Xu to bless the body, "The slave has seen the prince of Beichen." ”

Yesterday, I had repeatedly said that there was no need to be strict in etiquette, but I didn't expect it to be the case today, Beichen Xu chuckled, no longer paid attention, and only said: "I'm afraid you haven't been on an errand in the flower room." ”

Xue Hainiang bowed her head slightly, "Back to His Royal Highness, the slave maid was originally a show girl who entered the palace draft this year, but she did not pass the palace selection and stayed in the palace to serve, and now she is on an errand in Zhongcui Palace." ”

"What's wrong with your face?" Beichen Xu carefully saw that her eyelids and pink cheeks, which should have been as white as snow, actually had some yellow spots that she hadn't seen yesterday.

Xue Hainiang hurriedly lowered her head, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, "The slave maid has an ugly face, I am afraid that it will stain His Highness's eyes, and please don't blame Your Highness." ”

"I don't want to say it. His beautiful eyes seemed to have dimmed a little, and his slightly pale lips were raised a little, but they were full of coldness, "Even if you said it, I couldn't help!"

Xue Hainiang twisted her eyebrows lightly, staring sideways at the white, and the next second she smiled, like a spring breeze, "I didn't have time to look at it carefully yesterday, but now I know that the pear blossoms here of the prince of Beichen are as white as snow, looking at them from afar, floating in the wind, they really look like snowflakes." The prince of Beichen is really a good craft, and he can cultivate this holy land. ”

Beichen Xu stared at it, as she said, looking at it from afar, the petals were floating in the wind, rising and falling, it was really like a winter snowflake, "This pear blossom was originally there when I entered the Nangong when I was seven years old, and I will be like you today, no, it should be even worse, I look stupid." He paused and said quietly: "But then I learned that although the pear blossom is beautiful, it is an unlucky flower, and the pear and the separation have the same sound, which means discrete separation." ”

This kind of pear blossom in the courtyard came from the hand of the Queen Mother, and at this moment he remembered that he was a proton from the north of his hometown.

Xue Hainiang chuckled, "The slave doesn't know if this pear blossom is an unlucky flower, but the slave's mother told the slave maid that the pear blossom also symbolizes happy love, and it will not be separated for a lifetime." Everyone has their own opinions, how can the prince of Beichen be wise, how can he be in trouble. ”

Beichen Xu was stunned, and then smiled with relief, "I think about it, but I think about it too much." ”
