Chapter 201: Be aware of the good dealings within the boudoir (2)

The two items she said are what I wear almost everyday. In order to set an example of diligence and thrift, the clothes are as simple as possible. In fact, there are countless exquisite and beautiful clothes in Kunning Palace, but it is inevitable to look luxurious at this time. Although I did not make an order, the harem has given up the beautiful clothes and decorations since he and his concubine, and the beauty is simple and generous. In this way, relatives and officials followed suit and donated silver jewelry to support the frontline disaster areas, which was praised by the people.
Of course, if it weren't for Shen Xiyao's praise of me and the officials who took the lead in implementation, it would not have been so effective.
"I smoked the light red silk sweater with phoenix-like treasure and brocade with Soho incense, combed the wishful Gaohuan bun, and then took out the set of golden phoenix jewelry." I drew my lips carefully with bright color lips. , Said lightly.
Huiju was startled, but without saying anything, he immediately took what I wanted and dressed me up carefully.
The silk shirt sleeves are wide, and between gestures, there is an elegant fragrance that seems to come from nowhere, showing the low-key luxury of the nobles of the deep palace. The golden phoenix on the top of the head bun spreads its wings and wipes the six-row diamond diamond on his forehead, gently dangling it on the center of his eyebrows, and radiating dazzling brilliance in the clear morning sun. In the temple, Dai Baoxiang flowered the golden flower tin, inlaid with diamonds and emeralds. The light red phoenix-like treasure dress is beautifully embroidered, and the phoenix tail is strung with beeswax beads and amethyst. Although it is not very gorgeous, it is elegant and dignified. The sensible person also knows that with so many beeswax beads and amethyst stones, it is not considered the jade beads that are like a spring water and the ingenious embroidery work. Such a skirt is definitely worthless.
The makeup is exquisite, and the big red lips are something I have never used except on the day of my wedding. At this time, this color added a sharp color to the gorgeous face in the mirror.
Huiju and Ziying each held a quilt, and walked towards the extinction with me.
In the early morning, the long street leading to the passage was very quiet, with only the soft footsteps of the three of us. Huiju and Ziying haven't spoken, and I just looked ahead. Although the long palace road is wide and the morning light is bright, I always feel that this is a road with no happiness and no end.
"Niang Niang," Hui Ju looked at my face carefully, and said softly: "Niang Niang, go through the imperial garden. Although I went around a little bit, the scenery is good."
"Yes," Zi Ying responded, "A lot of flowers have bloomed recently, so I can see it in the morning."
I nodded: "Go there then."
"Niangniang, look at how beautiful this flower is." In the imperial garden, Hui Ju pointed to a rose and showed it to me. The flower was indeed very beautiful. The flower plate was huge, the petals were soft, and the flower color was gorgeous. It was at its peak, even though Among the many roses, its heyday can also be noticed at a glance. At this time, the petals are covered with morning dew, gorgeous and delicate, as if a young woman is in the most beautiful stage of her life, warm, public, and beautiful.
The flowers reveal an intoxicating fragrance, but the fragrance is not as light and remote as Ting Lan Du Ruo. If it smells for a long time, it makes people inadvertently produce a subtle sweetness. On the contrary, Ting Lan Du Ruo is not long-lasting.
"All things in spring are beautiful, but this beauty will always reach an extreme. After the extreme, it begins to wither and nothing can stop it." My hand gently stroked the bright red rose, as if Feeling the tenderness of the petals. With a little effort in his hand, this beautifully crowned rose fell on the ground, and it was immediately blinded by the soil.
An extremely bright but weird smile appeared on my lips, but my eyes flashed innocently: "Actually, the more fragrant and beautiful things, the easier it is to have ill-fated. Like a beautiful woman, since ancient times, the beauty is so ill-fated. Look at this flower, too much Beauty will leave the branch prematurely and lose its fragrance. In this way, those elegant things will survive for a long time."
Huiju said "No", looked at the first blooming peony not far away, and obediently said: "What the empress said is." She raised her head, with the color of enlightenment on her face, picked up the rose and flung it at will. Falling on a pile of dead branches and fallen leaves, the petals spread out.
"The king of flowers is always the peony." Huiju stood up straight: "So, this flower won't get in the eyes of the empress."
I nodded approvingly: "You have to know that no matter what you do, you still have to leave yourself a little back." I stepped forward. In front of me, there is a bright spring landscape with a hundred flowers blooming, Yingge Yan crowing, and the fragrance of flowers is full of breath. It’s just that I understand in my heart that after this seemingly beautiful scenery like a fairyland, there will soon be a storm.
Because he was not in a hurry to go Fansi, the time he stayed in the Imperial Garden was slightly longer. In fact, in addition to the prestigious and wonderful places, there are many fresh and small sceneries in the imperial garden, which are convincing and elegant. Just like a delicate woman in a small family, she has a special flavor.
There is a palace room far ahead, hidden behind the luxuriant branches of double-flowered cherry blossoms. This cherry blossom is presented by Dongying. At this time, it is at its peak, and the delicate pale pink is like a fragrant and moving cloud in spring. Cover new clusters of red walls and green tiles. Looking through the cloud-like pink, this palace also has a small garden, where pear blossoms, begonias, camellia and other flower trees are blooming most beautifully.
I moved in my heart and turned to look at Hui Ju: "Here is it?" But there was an answer in my heart.
Hui Ju lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Hui Niangniang, this is the Changchun Palace."
Yes, the scenery here is like the calm and relaxed expression on Yi Zhaorong's face. The homes Shen Xiyao gave to her favorite concubines were similar to the feelings they gave. Just like the Zhaoyang Palace of the Concubine Liu, shaded willow trees are planted inside, and the Snow Pai Palace of the Concubine is decorated with simple and elegant white fragrant flowers. The Star Palace of the Concubine Li is full of sparkling decorations, just like the ink painting and the The rich colors are commensurate with the preferences, temperaments and perceptions of the concubines.
However, I looked up at the colorful cherry blossoms, and sighed in my heart. Although the cherry blossoms were very prosperous and tender when they bloomed, they were invincible, but their flowering period was short, and a blast of cold wind and rain would wither. Things that are too beautiful often don't last long. I felt a little sigh in my heart, but I just hope that this woman can survive the torrential rains of the harem, always carrying her original state and appearance, like this tree with flowers, but can last for a long time.
"This cherry blossom is so beautiful." My smile was admired: "Such a good double-flowered cherry tree is only available in Qinglong Temple in Beijing." A casual sentence suddenly brought back memories from a long time ago. My heart trembled, but there would no longer be the huge fluctuations as before. After all, so many years have passed, and everything in the past is just the past.
"The servants heard that Yi Zhaorong’s favorite is not cherry blossoms, but magnolia, and she also mentioned it to the emperor. However, the emperor specially ordered the Shihua Bureau to plant cherry trees full of the courtyard, but magnolia only Two or three plants were planted outside the bedroom window." Huiju whispered to me again: "Yi Zhaorong once said that although the cherry blossoms are beautiful, the flowering period is too short, which makes people sad."
"If you have good memories, you won't be sad. Looking forward to the blooming of flowers in the coming year is also a kind of happiness." My smile added some warmth: "Let's go."
When Fansi guards merged with his team, it was a blessing in disguise for Brother Zhao to leave Fansi. After I left the coat of arms, my second brother transferred him to the front court and was promoted to the captain of the first team. After I returned to the position of queen, I ordered the re-election of the guards and guard Fan's death. The captain chose Zhao's fellow villager and friend.
At this time, the guards of Fansi are no longer a place where there is no oil and water. I stipulate that if the relatives of the concubine Fansi want to bring something, they will be reported by the guards, and they can be sent in after obtaining permission and interrogation. If you want to improve the food, you can hand in some silver to the dining room. But these must be handled by the captain of the guard. Although it is not a good thing for family members to be relegated to Fanfare, but family affection is human nature. Therefore, this job is not bad.
So when I walked into Fanshi, no one dared to stop me even if I didn't identify myself. Most of the women in Fansi died for the empress dowager, and only the low-level concubines who made mistakes were still there. There are no rules for getting up in the morning, and everyone is almost asleep at this early time. There was only one person sitting on the ground leaning against a bunch of manro.
Although the sky is good today, Fanfai is still decayed and lifeless. The only purple vine is no more than sporadic bleak flowers, and the dust on the flowers is even more decadent. Meng Liwan sat under this bunch of vines, quietly. At this time, she was only wearing a plain clothes, cotton fabric, light to almost white light green, it seems that with a breath, that little color will disappear. Her hair was sloppy and her eyes were misty. At first glance, she was not at all like that lady with complicated makeup and bright eyebrows.
"Meng Liwan?" My voice was very gentle.
Li Fei became stiff, turned her head slowly, and a light flashed in her eyes when she saw me.
"Queen Empress!" Her voice trembled: "The emperor asked you to come?" Her big eyes looked straight at me, with only expectation: "Is the emperor wanting to let me out?" She stood up. Walked in front of me in twos or twos, with one hand trying to grab the edge of my skirt.
Huiju stepped forward to stop her, Li Fei also noticed her gaffe, and stopped hurriedly, standing there a little cramped. There was hope on her face, which made her gloomy eyes cover a layer of brilliance. But she kept rubbing her hands, confirming the anxiety in her heart.
"Why the emperor sent you here, you know." My voice was still gentle, with sympathy: "The emperor can't bear it, but my father has committed a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy. It is the greatest kindness to the Meng family to save your life."
"No, it's not like that!" Li Fei cried and knelt on the ground: "Queen, mother, please, let me see the emperor." She repeatedly kowtow: "You have always been kind, and my father has served the country for many years. Loyal, how can you collude with the enemy?" Her voice was full of despair: "Please be aware of the emperor!"
"My father guarded the border for many years, and was blinded by money." My tone was mostly unbearable and blamed.
"No! No!" Li Fei suddenly raised her head, with blood dripping from her forehead: "My father repaired a book and gave me a copy." Li Fei said: "He said that someone framed him. He didn't want to sell military rations, but the locals When a drought occurs, someone pays a high price and only saves enough food. They want to save the people. They will sell it back to the army at the market price in half a month." Li Fei's tone trembled: "The man's rhetoric also bought the big and small generals around her father, so, so... …"
"So my father compromised?" I sneered, "Can this kind of thing be compromised? And how to explain the correspondence? My father's handwriting can't be ignored."
"My father did not collude with the enemy, the letter is forged!" Li Fei almost cried out: "When I was selling food, my father was accused of writing an agreement and signing the name. It is possible to imitate and forge it."
I shook my head: "The palace does not believe these words, and the emperor will not believe them."
"Niang Niang!" Li Fei stood up, her tone firm: "That person is counted, but never counted. My father's writing habits are different. As long as he can compare the collegiate documents with his father's daily letters, he must be right. Out of it!"
I was shocked, but calmly said, "If this is the case, there is indeed a need for a thorough investigation." I am concerned about taking a step forward: "It's just that I have to tell the emperor what habits are different from others."
