Their palace should be in the southeast corner of the entire palace, called Liyuan. As soon as I came here, I fell in love with the name, and the pear garden and Liyuan sounded homophonic, which sounded quite kind. Liyuan is a remote place, there are not too many palaces in the Quartet, and it is far away from the residences of concubines and princes, so there are few people who come and go. At this time, there are no large pear blossoms in the courtyard, but you can see a small fruit in the lush branches and leaves, which is very distinctive, and the interior decoration of the palace is simple and exquisite, the items in the courtyard are exquisitely placed, the low-key is full of luxury, the palace is burned with luxurious spices, and the bed is covered with several layers of soft silk quilts, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

Nian Nian is full of curiosity and excitement about the decoration and furnishings of the whole pear garden, she doesn't understand gold antiques, only what is interesting, Zhen Yu saw it and explained to her the use and value of these things one by one, and listened to Nian Nian's face full of worship.

"Is this the Imperial Palace? actually made of silver to make a plate of melons and fruits!"

"What's this, do you see the concubine-colored gauze tent hanging on the window? It's called Huanyu smoke yarn, the most amazing thing about this kind of gauze tent is that as long as you hang it on the window, no matter how heavy the rain is, the rain can't enter the house, and the rain that falls on it is so much that you can see bursts of green smoke floating out from above, enveloping the whole house in it, just like a fairyland. It is said that this yarn can only be made from hemp grass that has been grown for more than 50 years, so it is quite expensive. In the Baimo Palace, only my father, the queen mother, and my brother's bedroom can afford to use this kind of precious material. ”

"It's so good to you! "I touched the window screen incredibly, and I only felt that it was delicate and silky, light as nothing, and even if I didn't understand it, I knew that it must be an excellent thing.

"The harem is under the care of the queen, and we are now under the jurisdiction of the queen. Everything here must be decorated according to the queen's wishes," Zhenyu looked around and nodded slightly, "The queen has a heart." ”

"This queen lady is so bothered in your residence, she must have the intention of befriending you. Zhu Mei asked.

Zhen Yu shook her head, "Not necessarily, the more she bothered to do it, the more people felt that it was intentional." It's like the rain and smoke, I haven't enjoyed it in Baimo, but now she has found it for me, which must be a bit of a revelation of Cangye's strong financial resources, extraordinary heritage and far better than my Baimo. ”

"You're saying she's deliberately showing off to you? Nian Nian frowned exaggeratedly.

"Think about it, the first time I came to the Cangye Palace, I have never met this queen mother, so naturally I don't have any friendship. And I have heard that the queen mother has no children under her knees, and it is not good for her that I marry Cangye, so why should she please me?"

While the three of them were talking, a palace maid came to report, saying that the queen had invited them to Changqiu Palace for a while.

Zhenyu smiled and said to the two: "Since the queen mother is invited, we naturally want to go, no matter what kind of thoughts she has, we just deal with it carefully." ”

The three of them followed the palace maid who passed the word to the outside of the Changqiu Palace, but they saw that the tall hall inside was deep and dark, and they couldn't see the specific appearance inside.

Nian Nian and Zhu Mei followed Zhenyu into the Changqiu Palace, and saw a dignified woman wearing a nine-phoenix golden hairpin and a gorgeous brocade robe sitting in front of a wide table on the left-hand side.

Presumably this is Queen Huang's mother, who secretly glanced at it every year. This queen mother should not be young, but because she has lived in the deep palace for a long time and is properly maintained, her complexion is still fair and delicate. I saw her pursing her thin lips slightly, and although the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, there was not much smile in her eyes, which made people very uncomfortable.

"Zhenyu meets the queen. "Bow down.

The queen took a sip of tea on the table, put it down, and the maid on the side handed her a handkerchief, and after she covered her sleeve and wiped her mouth, she said to Zhenyu with a smile: "The princess is coming from afar, please get up quickly, come and give me a seat." ”

Nian Nian pursed her lips, no matter how naïve she was, she didn't understand the things in the palace anymore, and she also knew that the queen didn't have much affection for Zhenyu. actually let Zhenyu kneel for so long, and pretended to drink a cup of tea, it seems that Zhenyu guessed correctly before, this person who had worked hard for her to arrange the dormitory, most of them only had the intention of mockery and provocation, and the impression of her in Nian Nian's heart couldn't help but be greatly reduced.

The queen mother looked Zhenyu up and down, and said with a smile: "I heard the emperor say that Princess Zhenyu is noble and magnificent, dignified and courteous, and looks like a fairy. ”

Zhenyu also smiled and returned: "The queen mother praises it falsely, Zhenyu is less than anything, no talent and no virtue, but the queen mother, Fanghua is peerless, the mother is the world, and treats people so kindly, so that Zhenyu is relieved a lot, and Zhenyu also wants to thank the queen for bothering to arrange the pear garden." ”

The queen was very satisfied with Zhenyu's praise, "You are the princess of Baimo, but you left your mother country to marry Cangye, you are really wronged, you just treat the palace as your own home, if you need anything, ask the palace maid to come back to me, don't feel restrained." ”

Zhenyu got up and thanked him again.

"Ruolan, don't hurry up and bring in the meeting gift that the palace is going to give to the princess. The queen instructed the maid beside her.

After a while, when the maid returned, she had a plate in her hand, covered with tulle.

The queen raised her jade hand to lift the tulle, and said with a smile, "This is a famous gem in my night, called the Soul Stone." You must have also heard that in the deep mountains north of the night, there is a mineral vein, and the stones produced there are transparent in color, and if you absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, you can conjure up the forms of some birds and beasts. For example, if the stone is sunk to the bottom of the sea, it may form a swimming fish or a coral, and if it is buried under a flower, it may form a delicate flower. The soul stone in front of you was polished by a famous craftsman of mine for five years, but because it has no other value other than ornamentation, it is not very valuable. The palace just thinks that the princess is beautiful and matched, and the gems are matched with beauties, so please don't shirk the princess. ”

The soul stone in the jade plate is a fist-sized sphere, completely transparent in the middle, with a pale pink lotus lying in the center, nine petals divided into two layers, and the lotus heart in the center looms. The entire soul stone exudes a faint soft light from the inside out, which is exquisite.

It's just that Nian Nian is a little unhappy in her heart, the queen mother used this soul stone to satirize the beauty of the jade, which is useless except for being watched, and she is even more disgusted with the queen in her heart.

In fact, the voiceover Zhenyu also heard this, but she really liked this stone, plus she didn't want to offend the queen in the Ming when she first arrived, exposing her mind, so she pretended to be extremely happy, and thanked the queen mother happily, and ordered Nian Nian to step forward and take the jade plate in Ruolan's hand.

Who knew that when Nian Nian reached out to take the jade plate, the corners of Ruolan's mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, and as soon as her hands were loosened, the jade plate fell to the ground, and the soul stone on it fell into eight petals in response, and the transparent crystal in the middle poured to the ground.
