Chapter 74 The Wind Comes to the Water Palace and the Pearl Cuixiang

Water Palace Wind Comes Pearl Emerald Fragrance (2)

Zhu Mansion, Chenxi Pavilion, Kapok looking out the window, rubbing the jade bracelet on his wrist one by one, the begonias blooming outside the window, like small snowflakes, but the snow is crimson, slightly transparent, and vivid In the light, there is a faint fragrance permeating the air, far better than the smell of incense in the pavilion.

Mu Mian sighed slightly, and slowly grasped Yu Ruyi on the couch of Concubine Yang's color, the cool chill slid in along the texture, swaying like light ink, was hesitating, but the dowry maid, Zhu Er, kept her voice low Said: "Madam, don't you want to inquire about the situation in the mansion? Madam has lived in the palace for a few days, and I am afraid that the personnel affairs in the mansion have changed a few times quietly!"

Mu Mian glanced at Zhu'er, and said in a deep voice: "I know you were sent by Concubine Lin to monitor, but I don't necessarily have to share everything with you, right?"

Zhu'er lowered her eyes and smiled: "Of course this servant doesn't care about what Madam is planning, this servant is only thinking about her own family and Madam's family, if Concubine Lin doesn't get what she wants, you and I will end up in the same way , how can there be a distinction between master and servant?"

A surge of anger suddenly rose in Mu Mian's heart, she endured it for a while, and finally said in a calm tone: "I understand, I don't need you to remind me all the time."

"Remind me, tell me." Mu Mian was startled, but when she turned her head, she saw Zhu Qizhen stepping in, her eyes were clear and clear, and her heart couldn't help but warmed up a little. When spring is here, I always have to eat something suitable for the occasion, and my wife spends so much time on housekeeping, I'm afraid it's not as leisurely as my concubine's."

Zhu Qizhen took a few sips of the newly brewed tea on the table, and praised: "It smells so good."

Kapok smiled slightly, helped Zhu Qizhen to sit down, and said softly: "The concubine is cooked with the dew from the flower stamens of crabapple in the morning, and it has a unique fragrance of crabapple. However, although this tea is good, it is better than tea." However, the many rare teas of Hanruixuan may have been brought over by Mr. Qiu. I especially remember the Huiming Cui Pian, the buds are slender and straight, the color is clear and bright, and the taste is fresh and mellow, which is also the same in the palace. It’s rare to see it!”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said nothing, just thinking about it, Mu Mian glanced at his expression, a faint joy flashed in his heart, and said: "My lord is hungry, I will go to the small kitchen to cook my favorite three dishes." How about fresh taro rolls?"

Zhu Qizhen played with the teacup in his hand, as if thinking: "A few days ago I sent some taro to Liang Wang's mansion, I'm afraid it's gone in the small kitchen." Zhu Qizhen smiled warmly, straightening his temples for Kapok Zhengyi The coral bat hairpin, and gathered a few strands of hair from the sideburns, and his tone became softer and more gentle, "The batch of Lipu taro is very good. The king of Liang had a bad stomach a few days ago, so he stayed behind closed doors. The imperial doctor said that taro clears the stomach and nourishes the heart."

Mu Mian smiled lightly, with a faint blush on his face, and said gently, "Do you dislike my concubine who only cooks yams? Since there are no yams, how about I make some purple potato muffins?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and shook kapok's hands: "That's fine, I can eat better only when I'm with you."

Mu Mian held Zhu Qizhen's hand tightly with his backhand, and said with a smile: "My husband said as if he was treated harshly by his wife. My wife is naturally caring about everything to my husband."

"Then, why aren't you?" Zhu Qizhen let go of Kapok's hand without showing any signs, stood up with a smile and said, "With you and Yicheng, I am a happy person. In other words, there are more purple potato muffins. Make a copy, and in the afternoon, I will go to the Xiaoqi camp."

The room is warm, with beautiful spring scenery, and laughing words, it seems that there has never been a gap between Zhu Qizhen and Kapok, they are just like ordinary couples. All kinds of guesses and precautions are indelible marks after all.

In fact, this is true for Zhu Chengbi and Zhou Yichen, why not?

At the beginning of April, the world is full of fragrance, and it is the time when little flowers and soft catkins are entangled and danced. The epidemic has finally been resolved, and Zi Ao City has temporarily returned to calm.Although the epidemic came suddenly, it was well controlled and did not cause too many casualties.

However, the so-called sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a silk thread. In order to recuperate easily, Yidan moved out of Guanju Palace and returned to Yiyuan Palace to recuperate. There has been a lot of improvement.After all, Xuanqing's body is better, and his recovery is somewhat better than that of Yidan, Shu Guifei's heart that has been hanging over the past few days is finally relieved.

Five days later, Liu Changyi was promoted to the first level as a female picker of the eighth rank, and given to live in the Nihong Pavilion, and also rewarded a lot of gold, jade, silk, and various playthings.Liu Cainv was quite touched, not only went to Yiyuan Hall to thank her, but also went to Guanju Palace to pay her respects to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu also liked her quite a lot, and rewarded her with a lot of jewelry and new materials.

Three days later, Concubine Yi accidentally mentioned to Yidan when she was sick in the Hall of Yiyuan that during Yidan's convalescence, the two sisters Fuqu had been praying in Tongming Hall, and they copied Buddhist scriptures day and night and hung them in the corridor of Tongming Hall for concubines, The palace people recited it, and Yidan was very grateful. Jin Fuqu's wife is a sixth-rank nobleman, and her title is still "Fuqu", and she gave Fu Wanhan a special reward.After nearly eight months, Fu Wanting was promoted again. Not only was he promoted two ranks in a row, but even the title remained unchanged. The harem was full of discussions, but because of Concubine Yi's affection, the complaints gradually decreased .

On this day, Mrs. Xi came to Deyang Hall early to greet the morning. Zhu Chengbi had not finished dressing, and only Luo Fangyi and Concubine En were in the hall. I'm so lucky to be honored by Fuqu, since she was named Cai Nu, she has leapfrogged several times to be promoted!"

Enbi was amused in her heart, but her face was as calm as water, and she said lightly: "Your Majesty Fuqu only cares about the emperor's well-being, don't you know that she knelt for ten hours in Tongming Hall to pray for blessings?"

"That's right! If nobleman Xi is like nobleman Fuqu, wouldn't he be in the concubine's position now?" Pan Cairen supported Baoqi's hand, walked into the hall lightly, greeted Luo Fangyi and concubine En hastily, with the corners of his lips hooked , sneered and said, "After all, it is Enbi who understands the nobleman Fuqu, maybe it is because of sympathy. After all, nobleman Xi, your character is pure and your words are sharp, so you are naturally not like a person with a heart. Some things come, and it’s good to put gold on your face.”

Enbi knew that Pan Cairen took the opportunity to run on her again, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it, she just pulled Luo Fangyi and said with a smile: "Why do we need to stand and talk, Ding Xiang has just served tea, let's sit first."

After a while, the concubines came one after another. After Zhu Chengbi finished dressing, he walked slowly into the hall with Zhu Xi's arm supported. The concubines hurriedly stood up and respectfully greeted her: "May I be safe, Concubine Lin!"

Zhu Chengbi waved his hand to let the concubines get up, and slowly sat down, Fang lightly opened his lips and said: "Now the emperor is recuperating in the Yiyuan Hall, except for Concubine Shu, if the other concubines want to go to the Yiyuan Hall to pay their respects, they must first get the approval of the Palace , wait until I ask the imperial physician what it means, do you understand?"

The concubines looked stunned, and hurriedly answered yes.Pan Cairen couldn't hold back anymore, he slightly raised his eyes in the direction of Guanju Palace, and let out a low hum.

Zhu Chengbi coughed lightly, and said sharply with a dark face: "If anyone disregards the will of this palace and disturbs the emperor's purity, don't blame this palace for not caring about the sisterhood of the past!"

The sharpness and sternness of these words were evident, the concubines were startled when they heard the words, they naturally knew the weight of the words, they hurriedly said without daring, became more respectful, and did not dare to express themselves.

Zhu Chengbi nodded, and slowly glanced at the concubines, seeing that the concubines who were usually all kinds of charming concubines were a little panicked, and there was an ice-breaking smile on their faces for a long time: "Where is Mrs. Fuqu?"

Fu Wanting heard that she was calling her, and rushed out of the crowd, saluting like a ceremonial: "Concubine Lin, good luck and golden safety!"

Although Fu Wanting is a nobleman, he doesn't pay much attention to clothing. Today he only wears a blue plain brocade gown and a soft smoke skirt with flowers, and three thousand blue silks are tied into a lily bun that is not ostentatious. It is only decorated with sparse pearl flowers, but Pan Cairen behind her is quite luxurious, not to mention full of pearls and emeralds, and is covered with a winding gauze that drags the floor, it looks like she is above the concubine's position concubine.

Zhu Chengbi had a slight smile, and called Fu Wanting to come forward, reached out to pick up a white jade hairpin on her temples, and said with a smile: "I just became a nobleman, why do I dress so plainly? Although this white jade hairpin is not It's not gorgeous, but the beauty is that it's made of a whole piece of high-quality suet white jade, the color is as flawless as snow, and the touch is extremely soft and delicate, so it is worthy of you."

Fu Wanting was overwhelmed by the flattery, let Zhu Chengbi put on the white jade hairpin uneasily, and said deeply, "Thank you for your love."

Du Jieyu was quite jealous, and said: "Your Majesty Fuqu is truly a blessing. That white jade hairpin was awarded by the emperor last year. I heard that it was the favorite of the late emperor and concubine!"

Concubine Chen, now the Concubine Chen Jingui, was originally the youngest daughter of Emperor Qian Xian who descended to the south of the country from the Taizu.However, Concubine Chen has only two concubines, Princess Rong'an and Princess Fu'an, both of whom are far away from the political center of the capital. After Dan ascended the throne, she also received a lot of courtesy. She lived in the Ningshou Palace in Zi'ao City and was the most respected among the concubines.

Zhu Chengbi smiled and said: "My palace and the emperor both understand your intentions." Zhu Chengbi smiled and glanced at the concubines present, and said slowly, "If they are all like Mrs. Fu Qu, then naturally this palace can save you a lot of worry. gone."

Pan Cairen smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty is very true. If a concubine can always get advice from your Majesty, she will surely win the Emperor's favor more than Fu Que."

Liu Cainv covered her lips and smiled: "Concubine Lin has a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I don't have the time to mention Sister Pan, so it would be more cost-effective to directly learn from the noble lady Fu Qu."

Zhu Chengbi raised his eyes, only took a sip of the Xueding Hancui on the table, but heard Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Cai Nu is really plausible, but Cai Nu should not need to learn scriptures, isn't Cai Nu's appearance a guarantee of favor? "

Pan Cairen sneered, tapped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, folded his hands on his knees again, with a demure demeanor: "I mean, it's no wonder Cainu runs to Guanju Palace all day long." Zheng Jade Earrings, and then laughed again, "Cai Nu and Concubine Shu are so close, maybe they are from the same clan!"

Liu Cainv's complexion changed slightly, Pan Cairen's words were clearly ridiculing her low status, no different from Concubine Shu Gui who was born in a barbarian.

Concubine Yi heard the meaning of the words, couldn't hold back her smile and said: "Sister Pan, don't say that, Cai Nv is born noble, and she speaks cleverly, she must be much better than Concubine Shu Gui, if you come to the Japanese Palace, you must speak to the Emperor, unless Cai Nv arrives Only the position of nobleman or concubine can reveal the identity of Cai Nu."

As soon as the words were spoken, some concubines couldn't help laughing out loud.Liu Cainv knew that Concubine Yi's status was noble and difficult to argue with, her crow's wing-like eyelashes trembled slightly, but her complexion was already flushed with anger, she turned her head away in anger and said nothing, only twisted the pine nut veil in her hand fiercely to vent .

Zhu Chengbi watched coldly, knowing that Concubine Yi had been offended by Liu Cainv's ridicule of the nobleman Fuqu just now, while Pan Cairen had always looked down on concubines who were born as palace maids, so naturally he wanted to help one party into trouble, Concubine He and Su Zhaoyi just watched from the sidelines with smiles on their faces. Luo Fangyi and Concubine En, who were always good-natured, also only cared about drinking tea, assuming that they had nothing to do with themselves, while the rest of the concubines had different expressions.

Zhu Chengbi sneered secretly in his heart, and said: "Okay, just a joke is enough, why bother to make so many words? I am exhausted, you all kneel down."
