Chapter 9 The Imperial Garden

CHAPTER IX

It rained heavily for two days, the sky finally cleared, and the outside was busy and lively, the flowers were fresh and the trees were as green as jade, and even the sky was blue and cloudless, and the sun was blazing.

has been raising a baby in the Baguio Palace for a long time, but Concubine Yun has never walked out often, and with the great favor since entering the palace, she has even avoided the morning awakening and fainting of the middle palace and the queen mother.

The emperor doted on her and loved her, and decorated the Baguio Palace up and down, and if there was anything good in the palace, he was always the first to send it here.

And every time the emperor pampered the harem, he went to Concubine Yun's palace in person. He was worried about the inconvenience of her pregnancy, and told Concubine Yun again and again that she must raise a baby in her palace.

But the grandmother who was waiting around was in a hurry, as the so-called pregnant person should move around more, so as to help the fetal head be corrected, and the birth can be smoother.

couldn't bear the nagging in Mama's ear, and the Baguio Palace group waited for their master to go out in a sedan chair.

Along the way, from the palace in the north to the southwest of the Imperial Garden.

At this time, it was the middle of the day, the sun was quite hot, and I was worried about the heat stroke of the mother, so the palace maid Peiling and the grandmother hurriedly hugged the master and went to the small pavilion in the park to escape the heat.

The grandmother looked at Concubine Yun's bulging abdomen, and said with a smile: "Now that the two little princes in Niangniang's womb are growing up more and more, even the wealth on Niangniang's face is becoming more and more obvious. ”

Pei Ling echoed and smiled: "Not really! Our mother is born a blessed person, if you wait for the two little princes to be born, it is even more precious for the mother and son! ”

Concubine Yun gently stroked her abdomen: "I hope so......"

"Don't say that, Niangniang, your favor has always been the only one in the palace! In addition, the emperor cares for you so much, and it will definitely be even more noble in the future! Pei Qing, the palace maid beside her, said.

"Yes! Empress! ”

Without the compliments of the people around her, Concubine Yun was full of interest to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden.

Not to mention, the layout of this imperial garden is very good, not rigid and deliberate, stretching scattered but exquisite, among which the pavilions and pavilions have a unique flavor.

In the park, it is a strange stone Luobu, the beautiful trees are verdant, and its ancient cypress and green vines are all old things for hundreds of years. Take a closer look, the surrounding flowers and branches are spread, dotted with vitality, delicate but solemn.

The ground is paved with various cobblestones, the bridge made of white marble, and the pavilion made of mahogany and gold tiles, all of which are very reflective of the scenery, which is endlessly interesting.

Just as they were watching, a long queue came from afar with flower pots and pots.

The leading eunuch commanded the team, and saw Concubine Yun sitting in the pavilion from a distance, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"See Concubine Yun!"

"No courtesy. Where did Father-in-law Qi go with the people from Huafang? Concubine Yun asked.

That Qi Zhenhai smiled even more attentively: "Back to my mother's words, this is the various flowers sent to Baguio Palace!" ”

"Niangniang, you see, this is the newly cultivated black purple gold and double-petaled white ice moonlight in the flower room, as well as the emerald jade lotus, smoke and green fragrance caryophyllus, all of which are unique to the palace, the emperor ordered yesterday that these fresh and delicate flowers must be sent to the palace of Niangniang!"

"Oh? Then there will be a hard trip for Father-in-law. Later, I will thank the emperor. Concubine Yun looked at a pink-shirted palace maid in the flower delivery team and said.

"It is the duty of the slaves to be able to do things for the mother, and it is also the light of the mother!" Father-in-law Qi flattered.

Concubine Yun raised her slender fingers and lifted the bead hairpin on her head: "It's still the Qi Gong Guild that can speak." By the way, the palace maid at the back stood up and let the palace take a look, look at your small size, how can you move such a heavy potted plant? ”

Hearing this, Qi Zhenhai hurriedly shouted: "Niangniang called you!" Hurry up and come out and say hello to the mother! ”

Behind, the palace maid in the pink dress stepped forward in a proper manner and saluted Concubine Yun. I saw that she was slender and tall, but her temperament and appearance were excellent, but she saved a mediocre and extremely unremarkable face.

Concubine Yun nodded appreciatively: "Well, it's a good one, and I guess my hands and feet are quite clever." ”

Then she continued, "What's your name? Are you willing to follow the palace and serve the palace? ”

The palace maid hurriedly looked at Qi Zhenhai, but Qi Zhenhai was anxious: "You stupid slave, it is a great blessing for the mother to invite you to serve by your side, don't hurry up and kneel down and bow down!" ”

Hearing this, the palace maid kowtowed and said: "Slave maid Chuhe, willing to follow the mother around, loyal and loyal!" ”

Concubine Yun smiled, her eyebrows were extremely beautiful: "In the future, you will be a member of this palace, Peiling Peiqing is the palace maid in charge of this palace, you can learn more from them." ”

Chu He thanked him: "Yes, Niangniang!" ”

Concubine Yun beckoned: "Pei Ling, Pei Qing." ”

The two palace maids stepped forward respectfully: "Yes, Niangniang!" ”

……

Let's say that Concubine Yun played around the imperial garden, and by the way, she received a palace maid, and when she returned to Baguio Palace, it was lunch time.

The people up and down the Baguio Palace were already busy, preparing meals and serving.

The first to enter is a few inferior palace maids, holding gargles and towels, waiting for the master to rinse his mouth and clean his hands before eating.

After the end, a palace maid next to him rang the rattle bell on the pillar wall, and the crisp sound of the bell spread to the outside of the house, followed by a long queue, one after another holding various dishes into the house, carefully placed by the special palace maid one by one.

After a while, the table was full of dishes, and when I counted them carefully, there were more than 20 dishes.

Bird's nest chicken soup, abalone stewed pearl cabbage, simmered chicken with mushrooms, ham slow-cooked duck soup, yam steamed fish fillet, five small plates of green vegetables, each piece is different, or red date chicken soup is cooked, or the sauce is laid on the bottom, and even the seemingly simplest three small porridges are made by simmering with various ingredients.

Pei Ling, the palace maid in charge, served dishes and soup for Concubine Yun on the side, and there were only three or four chops of everything.

Not far from the side, a silk mockery disguised as Chuhe looked at Concubine Yun playfully.

Qin Yueqing smiled helplessly, she knew that Congsi had never liked this kind of pomp and artificiality, and she was too extravagant and wasteful, and it seemed that others had a low status.

Pei Ling picked up a handful of shrimp meat and put it on Concubine Yun's plate: "Niangniang, I heard that this is a fresh shrimp newly entered the palace, the meat is firm and tender and delicious, and the imperial dining room is smart, so I will send it to you as soon as possible, you can try it." ”

Concubine Yun took a small sip, it was indeed delicious, and it was a rare delicacy.

……

Another place in the Imperial Palace, inside the Yangse Palace.

"What did that woman do today?" On the wide beauty couch, a palace maid in a royal blue dress closed her eyes and recuperated, a palace maid on the side of the couch carefully shook her fan to enjoy the coolness, and the other concentrated on beating her legs.

The big palace maid on the side reported: "Back to Niangniang, Concubine Yun went to the Imperial Garden today, and when she returned, she entered the Anhua Hall to incense." In addition, she took in a slave maid in the flower room, and looking at that posture, she was deliberately cultivated around it. ”

On the beauty couch, Concubine Zhong smiled disdainfully: "It's rare to hear that slut went out of Baguio Palace once, but he also accepted a maid." She was naΓ―ve, thinking that she could be trained to become a henchman by finding a lowly maidservant? Hmph, wishful thinking! ”

"What Niangniang said is that with Concubine Yun's means, it can't be compared with Niangniang." The big palace maid echoed.

"Send a message to Pei Qing and continue to monitor. This palace doesn't believe it, Concubine Yun's slut has no flaws! ”

"Yes, sis!"
