Chapter 109: Snow Beads and Red Plums
On this day, all corners of the palace where the nobles will pass by, all put on the jade pot spring and ink chrysanthemum, in order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, the flower room can be said to have hollowed out the mind to arrange, the whole imperial city is completely shrouded in the elegant atmosphere exuded by the chrysanthemum.
Naturally, for the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, the flower room also specially selected the rest of the chrysanthemum varieties and sent them to the palaces of various concubines.
The queen palace is the phoenix Zhenyu, the word phoenix has always been available to the queen, and the flower room specially selected a few pots of flowers that are ready to fly, with a smile in the palace, and sent to the Ci'an Hall is the mane of the Buddha dust, the word Buddha dust just confirms that the queen mother is dedicated to the Buddha, and the eyebrows are kind.
As for the new concubine palace is the ten-zhang hanging curtain, this variety of flower room has cultivated a total of three pots, the number is scarce, all of them have been sent to the Chonghua Palace, which can also be described as a standout. π.π₯πΎππ π¦.π²π ΎπΌ
When the people of the Huafang Palace came in, Honeysuckle was directing the little palace maids to choose fresh flowers in the courtyard.
"What kind of flower is this? Who told you to send it? Honeysuckle paced slowly closer, pointing to the bright colors like neon after the rain.
The little eunuchs stood in the middle of the courtyard, and the head of the head had a flattering smile on his face, full of flattery: "Aunt Honeysuckle, the slave is from the flower room, this is the newly cultivated snow bead red plum in the flower room, and the father-in-law of the chief manager specially asked the slave to send it to the concubine to have a look." β
Honeysuckle glanced at him up and down, and then thought of the figure of the people of Huafang Palace shuttling in the harem one after another early this morning, and she also had a bottom in her heart, she turned around and took the bamboo basket in Yun Shen's hand, counted more than ten double-petaled moon seasons, and raised her eyebrows: "Come in with me." β
"Hey." The little eunuch agreed crisply.
In the hall, Shen Qingjiao is changing into a new Yuhua brocade palace dress, the long skirt is three inches long, the gold lace embroidered at the skirt is as dazzling as the clouds and the sun is shining in the sky, and the chest is embroidered with begonias, begonias are fragrant, but they are the kind heads.
Shen Qingjiao glanced at the people who came in, and while picking out a pair of hollow carved pearl earrings, she asked, "What kind of flower is this?" β
"Back to the little master's words, this is the newly cultivated snow bead red plum in the flower room, is one of the chrysanthemums, because it looks like the red plum blooming in the snow from afar, the chief manager said, this flower is bright but not intense, delicate but not pretentious, so let the slave send it to the Yaohua Palace, and hope that the little master of the noble concubine likes it."
"Snow beads and red plums are a good name." Shen Qingjiao smiled lightly: "Since it was specially sent by the flower room, honeysuckle, placed under the corridor, so that everyone in the palace can watch it, and then reward them." β
"Thank you, little master, thank you, little master." The little eunuch was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
The flowers placed in the inner hall are picked by honeysuckle in the courtyard and inserted in the jade bottle, and changed every day, so as to ensure the freshness of the pattern, as for such a beautiful snow bead red plum, but I don't know how many people's hands, you can only watch it from a distance.
Honeysuckle quickly returned to the inner hall, and selected a small moon flower from the basket that matched the color of the palace dress and put it behind Shen Qingjiao's sideburns, she carefully checked Shen Qingjiao's makeup and hair, and said lightly: "Little master, the slave maid really feels the trend of the harem now, and also knows the reason why the harem concubines desperately want grace." β
"How?" Shen Qingjiao's willow eyebrows raised, but the bottom of her eyes was clear.
"In the past, although the six divisions did not treat the little master harshly, they would never befriend the little master." Honeysuckle glanced at the rain flower brocade on Shen Qingjiao's body and said: "Whether it is the priest's room a few days ago or the snowdrop red plum sent today, if it were the same as before, they would definitely act according to the rules, instead of deliberately choosing high-quality materials and such precious flowers." β
"Yuhua brocade, ordinary concubines are rarely used, if you want to say that the people who are commonly used, they should be above the third grade, but the clothes room used to select all the Yuhua brocade that day, this is the reality." Shen Qingjiao lowered her eyes, and her understanding was replaced by a mockery as thin as rain: "Look at today's snowdrop red plums, whether it is in appearance or preciousness, it should also be sent to Lu Zhaoyi Palace, but it is also the turn of Yaohua Palace." The inflammation in the palace will only be more, not less. β
"That's what the little lord said." As soon as the summer was over, the items of the group fan had been put away, and Honeysuckle took a few pieces of brocade for Shen Qingjiao to choose.
Shen Qingjiao still chose the one embroidered with begonia flowers, and Li Liyun said: "It's not early, I have to go to the Ci'an Palace today to ask for peace, go to the Fengluan Palace to wait for the queen mother outside, don't go too late." β
Outside the Fengluan Palace, the clouds and sideburns under the tiled blue sky are clustered together, adding a touch of bright color to the early autumn of the fallen leaves, the queen is wearing a red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, and the self-holding identity first got on the eight sedan chairs, followed by the six people of the concubine carrying the sedan chair, a long line of teams took action, and the palace concubine without a sedan chair only lifted her heels.
On the top of the phoenix, the queen's eyes flashed past the concubine's Yao Huang palace dress, her eyes showed disdain, and her face was haggard when she was pregnant.
The queen despised the concubine all the way, and the concubines who followed her had nothing to do with her.
Behind, the concubines walked in twos and threes, Jiang Jieyu passed by Concubine Fu and came forward to talk to Shen Qingjiao: "A few days ago, you came to Zhaochun Palace, I was not there, and I asked your sister to forgive me." β
"You and I don't have to be separated like this, it's a coincidence that I went that day." Shen Qingyu has always had a good impression of Jiang Jieyu, although her position is a little worse, but Jiang Jieyu is straightforward and is one of the very few people in the palace.
Jiang Jieyu tilted her head back slightly and said: "After saying goodbye to the queen, I went to the Imperial Garden, and I happened to meet Gao Meiren, so I went to Weiyang Palace to sit down, you also know that Weiyang Palace is remote, and there is only one Gao Meiren, and no one goes to her palace on weekdays, but don't say it, Gao Meiren is a little cowardly, but she is a calm person." β
"I remember that Gao Meiren entered the palace after the Holy Lord's inheritance of the Great Unification, and Jiang Guiren was with her." Shen Qingjiao thought for a while.
Jiang Jieyu was noncommittal: "Yes, a nobleman, a beauty, now it seems that the high beauty has a lower status, and she must not be favored." β
"The level of status does not mean the amount of grace, and the accumulation of high beauties is not necessarily."
Shen Qingyu rarely joked with Jiang Jieyu, the smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was like a hibiscus flower in autumn revealing a tender yellow stamen, showing a hint of delicate in the cold, which made Jiang Jieyu can't help but skip a beat, she knows why the saint is too kind to the noble concubine.
The saint is not a big person, he has half a month to stay in the harem, even if it is too much, for the harem concubines, in addition to the noble concubines, there are only two people who can be regarded as favored now, Shen Qingjiao and Jiang Jieyu, and in the palace next to them, it is good to have one or two turns in a month, like Shen Zhaorong, who has no sense of existence, maybe he will only have to be summoned once in two or three months.
So, Shen Qingjiao
