Chapter 6: The Women of the Palace

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about business, at the beginning of next month, I will be the son of the mourning family, so you have to take care of your body as soon as possible to attend the birthday banquet of the mourning family." Only then did Murong Xue say the purpose of coming here.

Zhang Mengjie was worried when she heard this, she always had to give birthday gifts when she participated in the birthday party! She can't do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, modern cross-stitch will not let alone embroidery in this era, even if it will be embroidered in such a short time, if you talk about dance, modern square dance is very popular, she just watches others dance, let her dance that is impossible, I really don't know what to do.

Murong Xue looked at her expression and said regretfully: "If you are not well by then, it doesn't matter if you don't participate." ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "The queen mother misunderstood, the daughter-in-law's current body is not to mention getting out of bed, even if you go to the imperial garden, there is no problem." It's just that the daughter-in-law has nothing now, and the queen mother doesn't know what to give on her birthday. ”

Murong Xue said: "Silly girl, when you are in good health, it is the best birthday gift for the queen mother." And it would be even better if the queen mother could hold her grandson next year. ”

Murong Xue was very moved by her sincere concern for Zhang Mengjie, and she didn't know how to speak when she heard a hopeless wish again.

When Murong Xue saw Zhang Mengjie's expression, she knew that she had embarrassed her: "It's the queen mother's extravagant hope, if we really don't have the fate to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then let's be mother and daughter!" ”

"It's useless to be a daughter-in-law." Zhang Mengjie knew that Long Tingxiao was so cold to him, and it had something to do with Murong Xue.

Zhang Mengjie saw Murong Xue's helpless expression, and knew that she didn't care about Long Tingxiao as others said, and she couldn't ask the reason now, forget it, let's take a step at a time.

Zhang Mengjie lay in bed for another three days, and at her insistence, Qingfeng Qingyu finally agreed to let her get out of bed. Of course, she has not been idle in the past three days, she has taken a cursory look at the "Historical Records" that Qingfeng took from the Hanlin Academy.

At first, Zhang Mengjie was afraid that she couldn't understand the ancient Chinese, but fortunately it was only traditional characters, although some of them were unknown, but she could also understand the general meaning.

Now there are two main rulers of this land, namely Longcheng and Changyi City. Dragon City holds the ore, that is, the economy, the place where gold, silver and jade are produced.

Changyi City holds weapons, the main source of weapons from all over the world. She didn't care too much about the other large and small territories.

Sitting in front of the mirror, she saw her current self for the first time, and she used to look at Murong Xue, but when others said that she was the first beauty in Dragon City, they always felt that they were exaggerating. In the mirror, she looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of watery eyes under thin eyebrows like a crescent, and a tall nose and a cherry-like mouth set on her palm-sized face. Milk-like skin, was the skin of the ancients so good? Facing her in the mirror, she herself is a little addicted, and her modern self is only beautiful at best, this face is God's greatest gift to her!

"Niangniang, okay, are you satisfied?" A piece of purple silk tied up her long hair, the hosta was gently pulled, and the tip of the hairpin hung with a small bead chain swaying in the wind, which was just right with her purple long skirt. Qingyu has a big temperament, but I have to say that she is a master of curling hair.

"If it were me who changed our hands, I really wanted to cut off your hands and give them to me." Zhang Mengjie praised her in another way.

Qingyu said: "Niangniang is reluctant to cut Qingyu's hand, because Niangniang is the kindest Niangniang in the world." Qingyu didn't care about Zhang Mengjie's ridicule.

Qingfeng interjected: "Niangniang, look at you to get used to her." ”

"Qingfeng, I know it's hard to accept for a while to let you let go of the rules and precepts, but I really treat you like sisters, I hope you too, do you understand?" Zhang Mengjie knew that Qingyu's arrogant temperament was more casual, but Qingfeng's temperament was steady, and her dignity and orderliness were deeply ingrained in her.

"It is a blessing to be able to serve the mother and the maid," as soon as he said a word, Qingfeng found that the faces of the two were not quite right, and immediately changed his words: "Okay, I was wrong, this is all right, Niangniang, aren't you going to see the stove, let's go quickly!" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "It's pretty much the same. ”

Zhang Mengjie really admired the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the palace, not only did she have nothing to say about the position, but the most important thing was that it was not far from her bedroom. Looking at the satisfied stove, Zhang Mengjie's first reaction was to use it, and when she saw the well next to it, she went to fetch water.

Qingfeng saw Zhang Mengjie's actions and asked, "Niangniang, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "Of course, it is to wash it and use it in practice, it is difficult to build it for you to see." ”

"Niangniang, do you really want to cook yourself?" Qingyu exclaimed.

Zhang Mengjie said: "Of course, it is possible that you and Qingfeng can cook!" ”

Qingfeng said: "Niangniang, Qingyu and I won't, it doesn't mean that others won't, Niangniang, aren't you going to choose a newcomer?" ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "That's right, how did I forget about this, there are many people with great power, let's go, let's pick people now." ”

Because Zhang Mengjie only picked two palace maids and two eunuchs, it didn't take long for the kung fu people to pick them. The palace maid Chunlan is good at cooking, and Qiu Ju is good at needlework, so she chose them. The eunuchs Lu Deshun and Zhou Li didn't know what they were good at, but their names had the word smooth, so they chose the two of them because they were lucky.

Zhang Mengjie took them back to Luanfeng Palace, and when they walked halfway, there were five beauties sitting in the pavilion in front of them, as if they were discussing something. Two of them Zhang Mengjie knew each other, that is, Li Yuqi, the daughter of Li Changqing, the captain who visited her, and Zhuang Xinyan, the righteous daughter of Fengxi, Shangshu Zhuang of the Military Department.

Got a little closer, and heard one of the beauties in a light blue dress say: "Two days will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, Sister Concubine Li is good at singing and dancing, Sister Concubine Zhuang is proficient in musical instruments, Zhao Meiren is protected by the general's brother, I and Su Meiren have been sad to death for the past two days, isn't it embarrassing for us to perform at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, if you don't know our family background when you give gifts, the Queen Mother has nothing in the palace, and it is impossible to send ordinary jewelry, three sisters, you quickly pay attention to us." ”

Zhuang Xinyan said: "Wu Meiren, the gift lies in the heart, I think if you sincerely bless the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will not mind what gifts you give." ”

Sister Zhuang said lightly, it is difficult for the two sisters to say at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet: Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and the concubines really don't know what to send, so they bring the concubines to congratulate the Queen Mother with sincere hearts. Isn't this a joke for the ministers, if it's just a family banquet, what Sister Zhuang said is not unreasonable, the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is so stiff, maybe the birthday banquet will be waived. Hey, my pearl of the East China Sea! One of the beauties in a grass-green Luo skirt retorted after listening to Zhuang Xinyan's words.

At this time, Su Meidao next to him said: "The Night Pearl of the East China Sea, Sister Zhao, you got the Night Pearl of the East China Sea, I listen to your intention to give it to the Queen Mother at the birthday banquet?" ”

"Yes, it took so much effort to get it, if it weren't for my own face, I wouldn't be willing to give it away!" Zhao Meiren is obviously reluctant to give up this night pearl of the East China Sea.
