Chapter Twenty-Eight: Nature

"These flowers have taken a lot of thought in this palace, but the flowers are not as red as ten days," Mrs. Mingzhen squinted her eyes in disappointment, with infinite pity in her eyes, and said, "Just like this delicate three changes, this palace is probably already a shallow white to thank God, no matter how beautiful it is, no one will appreciate it." ”

In front of the new favorite, when the passing years are passing, Mrs. Mingzhen obviously has a will, and the author said cautiously: "Mrs. is noble-minded, elegant and natural, not comparable to ordinary people like concubines." ”

"No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will wither, just the length of the flowering period. Or like a flash in the pan; Or like oleander from spring to autumn," Mrs. Mingzhen smiled and squinted her eyes and asked Song Yuxuan: "How long does it take for Sumei to bloom?" ”

She used flowers as a metaphor for people, and it was inappropriate for her to answer rashly, so she replied: "The concubine doesn't know, what life is, it's not up to the concubine to decide." ”

"Song Yuxuan has always wanted to make all the flowers grow very long, so she will do her best to protect it, but if that flower blooms too well, any bees and butterflies will come to provoke it, and the palace will be helpless." Mrs. Mingzhen threw the wooden scoop into the bucket and said, "I heard from this palace that Song Yingche stayed in the side hall of Lan Ruotang last night." "How could this be? Couldn't Song Yuqiu call him out at this time? Xue Mozhi looked at her puzzled. Absolutely, you don't have to worry! She didn't have that day's harsh attitude towards Xue Mozhi in her eyes, but she was extremely calm, as if she was telling things that had nothing to do with her.

Song Yusui lowered her head uneasily to reflect on the meaning of her words, she seemed to warn Song Yusui to keep a low profile and reform herself, she did not take the initiative to cause harm to Song Yuqiu. This was her last reminder to Song Yuxuan. That day, she suddenly said to Song Yuxuan: "You are a good woman, but no man loves you." "You know what?" Song Yuxuan replied. Although her statement may not be completely credible, Song Yu bowed her body and thanked her: "Concubine Xie taught me." ”

"Why do you want to change people's hearts three times?" This is a song from "The Peony Pavilion". Song Yuxuan once drank tea in a teahouse, and saw a young woman sitting in front of the window, looking at the flowers outside the window, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "How are these flowers blooming?" Mrs. Mingzhen smiled inexplicably, put the peony on Song Yuxuan's bun, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's not as beautiful as the flowers just picked, and that rhino horn hairpin looks a little old on you." The smile was not lonely, as if through layers of fog, it seemed to explore those past events that had passed.

thought that she would make a big fuss to train Song Yuqiu, but she didn't want to give Song Yuqiu a hairpin lightly. "Ma'am, do you know?" Her voice trembled and helpless. "Got it!" Song Yuxuan's heart was fluttering, and she repeated this sentence again. "Why? His fingers quickly swept over the dark pattern Ruixiang flower embroidered in his clothes, stabbed it, raised his head nervously and said, "Miss's favorite flower, how is Miss?" ”

"Flowers will fall". Mingzhen stood up and said, "Flowers are going to die!" Song Yuxuan said: "Then why don't the flowers cry?" "Because flowers have their life, it can live until tomorrow." Mingzhen said. Mrs. Mingzhen stared at Song Yuxuan and said, "It's better to have a hairpin in a bun!" ”

Mrs. Mingzhen's recklessness and the practice of giving Song Yuqiu hairpin flowers with her own hands made Song Yuqiu confused. She said, "You don't understand Song Yuxuan's mind. Song Yuxuan said: "You are a woman, how can you have so many thoughts?" She smiled and said, "Song Yuxuan wants you to understand some truths!" When Song Yusui was carefully reminiscing, at this moment, Mrs. Mingzhen was holding the maid Liuli, obviously a little tired, she called the palace maid to her side, washed her hands, and then asked the maid Cuiyu to send Song Yusui to the door. Before leaving, Cui Yu also presented a piece of Fushou Valley Liangwen jade, which was awarded by Mrs. Mingzhen.

When I went back to Lanruo Hall for lunch, I went to Yanhe Hall in the afternoon to greet the concubine.

The concubine is ordinary, only the soft temperament born in the family slightly impresses people. She is tall and has a delicate face. When Song Yuxuan first met her, she was sitting on a small wooden chair reading. Although he applied a thick amount of fat powder, he felt a sense of twilight when he raised his hand, and at first glance he was six or seven years older than the saint. After thinking about it, after all, she is still a mother of two children, no matter how well she is maintained, she will inevitably leave traces.

However, the mediocre concubine still impressed Song Yuqiu in a certain matter - she is really a chatter. Under her leadership, Song Yuxuan met two princesses for the first time: one was Concubine He, and the other was Zhelan. While Song Yuqiu was talking, Song Yuqiu's attention was distracted by the two princesses from other things. Finally, even Zhelan, who served herself, couldn't help but take the two princesses to see Concubine He, interrupting her interest in chatting with the concubine.

Zhelan, just before this, Xie Di had told Song Yusui that Concubine He largely relied on this maiden family to bring an absolutely loyal maidservant.

If the Jingzhao Du family and the hereditary Guogong are pushed forward for another three generations, the two empress dowagers of the Dezong Dynasty have come out of the Du family one after another, and the momentum of Xuan He is comparable to that of the Liu family, but in recent years, the Du family has produced many talents, and the influence of the DPRK and China has declined. In such a worldly family, there is a talented girl known as "Third Miss", but she is not known to the world: she is Song Yu. Song Yuzi Junfang, number picking lotus. Whether the family is prosperous or not is always a bit of an impact on the concubines of the Hou Court, Song Yuxuan saw that the concubine smiled quite sadly, and not being favored may also be one of the knots in his heart.

Luo Chuan and Luo Ning are now 7 years old, and because they are twin daughters, they were born exactly the same, but their personalities are completely different. Sister Luoyang is lively and active, and often participates in various activities at school; Brother Luo County is calm and introverted, meticulous in his work, and is a typical nerd. The eldest sister Luo Chuan was relatively quiet and calm, and when she met Song Yuqiu, she showed a stiff expression, but the eldest sister Luo Ning couldn't wait to meet Song Yuxuan, and then threw herself into Concubine He's arms and let Concubine He hold her in her arms.

When she rarely saw a pair of twins, Song Yuqiu also curiously teased the sisters and made irresponsible remarks, and when the nurse took them away, Song Yuqiu said goodbye and left.

Coming out of Yan Hetang and looking at a few clusters of peonies on the side of the road, Song Yuxuan sighed and said, "Another light white delicate three changes."

Biru, who had been following Song Yuqiu silently, replied nonchalantly: "Concubine Heniang is a rare qualified old lady in the palace, and the Zhang family was abolished to preside over the inner court that year, and she did not suffer less. ”

Most of the topics related to the Qian family in the palace are point-to-point, and through Bi Ru's mention, Song Yuxuan suddenly thought of rumors about concubines. In the life of the harem, Concubine He is the most difficult character to remember. Although she has been favored by the emperor for many years, she has never been truly reused. What's the secret? Song Yusui knew that she was expressly forbidden, but Song Yusui didn't understand why she became the most important palace maid by the emperor's side? The internal pharmacy and the palace are implicated everywhere, and the secrets about the concubine are also heard by Josh and himself.

And the concubine entered the palace to serve the king in the second year of Changxing, Luo Ning and Princess Luochuan are twin sisters, born in Changxing four years, it is rumored that the concubine was drugged by the Queen Mother Chengxiang, and almost lost her life in childbirth, and finally her life had to survive, and the Queen Mother saw the two princesses, and she did not think so about the miss, and the matter fell silent.

If the rumors are true, Concubine He will consume herself at any cost and give birth to 2 princesses desperately, which can be regarded as a big mother. When a woman gives birth, she has to go through the ghost gate; Indeed, for women, childbirth means a life and death test. Especially for women, having children is a major event related to the fate of her life. But if it's really that terrible. That would be a big mistake. I am afraid that it will be more difficult for the palace concubine to conceive and give birth to a child.

In the afternoon, I finally figured it out, and I wanted to go to Lu Zhaorong Yangui Hall. Yan Hetang is behind Yangui Hall, which is a wind pavilion for people to listen to the play. I heard that it was built to commemorate the famous opera artist Li Yu of the Qing Dynasty, so I rushed over early. When I entered the Accord, I saw that the hall was crowded. "It's so lively!" Song Yuqiu couldn't help but shout loudly. There are more and more palace people close to Yangui Hall along the way.

The hall of Yanguitang was bustling, people entering and leaving the palace were hurrying by, no one had time to care about Song Yuqiu's coming, Song Yuxuan asked the little palace maid to please inform, and then it was dried to the hall of Yanguitang, and no one looked at the tea and hospitality.

After all, the hard work was boring, so I had to break off the half-branch of the wood flower that stretched into the hall of Yanguitang to kill the time. The flower was blooming brightly, and Song Yuqiu was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a cry outside the door. Song Yuxuan put down the things in her hand and listened attentively, it turned out to be a little Gong'e crying. After sitting for more than an hour, she was told by the little palace maids that Lu Zhaorong was uncomfortable, Song Yuqiu smiled helplessly, rewarded the little palace maid, and entrusted her to enshrine the incense specially prepared by Xie Changan in front of Lu Zhaorong.

Although it was expected that Lu Zhaorong would not be able to make Song Yusui feel good, it was speculated that Concubine Xi had a good impression of Song Yuqiu, and she was good at dealing with Song Yusui with hypocrisy and hypocrisy. I remember that when Song Yusui was studying in Nanjing University, Lu Zhaorong taught Song Yusui calligraphy. At that time, Song Yuxuan didn't know Lu's name, only that she was a female calligrapher. At that time, Song Yuxuan fell in love with this woman. But after going on a trip today, even Lu Zhaorong, the palace maid in charge, had never seen it, but just sent a little palace maid to salute Song Yuqiu, and she didn't like Song Yusui in her heart.

Today, the movement is still frequent, and the main seat above the noble concubine can sit in the sedan chair, and I have to walk back and forth, and people are seriously sleepy. When they arrived at their destination, they went to find their master. The owner said, "Your feet are uncomfortable, aren't they?" Song Yuxuan said, "No." He said, "Are you going to rest?" Qianya, who had just returned to Chiyaku, lay down to rest after drinking only a bowl of almond syrup.

The sky gradually darkened, and the rain outside the window was still dripping down, so she was woken up by Biru, and asked the hour, it was almost time, it should be sleeping in the bed, Biru was waiting for Song Yusui to eat some repetitive warm meals, and there seemed to be something hanging in her heart, but she couldn't remember the slightest, she rinsed her mouth with tea, then put down the tea cup on the porcelain lotus tray and turned around and asked: "When Song Yusui is asleep, who is looking for Song Yusui?" ”

Biru replied while cleaning up the bowl: "Concubine Yi Niangniang just sent someone to send a set of jewelry with red gold beads and hairpins, and saw that the master was sleeping just right, and the slave maid did not disturb, so she put it away on her own initiative." ”
