starling is not a bird

Chuxiu Palace welcomes its new owner this year, with a flowery face, a distinguished surname, and a demure character, with the expectations of the family and the worries of a young girl, living peacefully under the palace walls, waiting for their own destiny.

Among these people, Niu Hulu's family is always the most numerous. Their family is flourishing, and the offshoot of him is a family of children. There is never a shortage of them in the harem and palace.

It is so convenient to teach and guide the mothers to divide the rooms, share the same surname, and share the same village. They can take care of each other and monitor each other.Then the aunt in charge sent the rouge and gouache, the clothes and flowers, the bedding and bed curtains, the same polite words, and the same teaching, but it was another three years.

The sleeves of the leading nuns and aunts in charge are filled with purses handed over by beautiful girls with smiles on their faces, exquisite needlework, and bright satin wrapped with gold and silver ingots, which are what they deserve in the lonely deep palace. Good thing, why don't you happily accept the money you give out with such joy?

Taking some of their floating money and taking care of them a little bit on weekdays will not only save them from suffering, but may also help them soar into the sky!

In the small courtyard with sparse flowers and trees, magpies hopped and hopped on the branches, and a beautiful woman in a goose-yellow flag dress sat on the porch embroidering a handkerchief: "Last night, the lanterns exploded and exploded again, and I don't know what to put on it." ? It’s already afternoon, and I haven’t seen any happy events happening, so it’s really a waste of me sitting here and waiting.”

The beautiful girl in a light red floral embroidered skirt was holding a handful of melon seeds to play with the parrot, but the red-billed green parrot had a long tail, and was swaying left and right to snatch the melon seeds, very proud.

Hearing the words of Xiu Nu in the goose yellow shirt, he smiled and said, "Sister is really impatient. The sun hasn't set yet, why don't you allow good things to come at night?"

The beautiful girl in the goose-yellow shirt put down the embroidery work in her hand: "Sister, I really hate it! Who doesn't know that the Chuxiu Palace will be locked in the evening, and even cats and dogs have to be named. What good things can come tonight ?”

: "That's not sure, it's a sweet dream, and it's possible to pick up a gold ingot under the window, sister, don't go to bed early." The girls laughed and laughed.

A window on the south side was gently pushed open, revealing half of the face, and there was a clear look of envy in a pair of beautiful eyes: "It's so lively outside!"

: "Sister, don't look at it, those are the two cousins ​​of Niu Hulu's family. They have been different from others since they came in. They said they voted for Dunbeile's family, and if they want to stay and become concubines, they will do it at worst." The Fujin of the royal family even judges people by their foreheads, so it's better not to provoke them." A woman in the back room brought a cup of tea and advised softly.

: "I also know that I can't compare with them. I didn't come from the flag. It's just that the emperor saw my father's great achievements and rewarded us for raising the flag. After all, is he still a slave? My father is the only one in Hubei, but he can be counted in Beijing." Nothing." The graceful woman lowered her head, showing some inferiority complex on her face.

: "What is this talking about? Don't say anything else, the two elder brothers of my sister's family are both from the imperial examination, and they are much better than others. Gui, in the future it is rare to enter the cabinet, wouldn't my sister's future be better than others?"

: "I hope everything is as you said. This year is very strange. I have also heard them talking about going back to the palace for the draft, but it was a minor election in January. Now I have lived for nearly a month and a half, and there has never been any rumors." , is really worrying."

: "What are you worried about? If you lose the election, you should just come here to see the world. Learn some etiquette and let your in-laws take a look at you when you go back. How can everyone get a prince from their mother's family? Let's take it easy, okay Eating and sleeping well is better than anything else!"

The show girl chuckled: "I, no matter where I go in the future, I will definitely thank that aunt a lot for putting us together. If it weren't for you to accompany me, I'm afraid I would have died of worry!"

: "Hey, this is also the fate of you and me. You are the Han who carries the flag, and I am the surname of the Han army flag. Anyone can bully us for a while. Fortunately, we live together. Listen, the pair of cousins ​​outside We started making fun of each other, let's not learn from her!"

Concubine Yi has blown the wind several times by Kangxi's pillow, the beautiful ladies have been in the palace for a few days, does the emperor have the time to look at them?Grace is still waiting in the clan!The release was also caused by his parents' upbringing, and they were all locked up in the palace. Isn't it worrying?

Kangxi shook his head, the emperor had his own account in his mind, it was not a trivial matter for a beautiful girl to marry her, and there were not many people in the Eight Banners, but it was the basis for the court to settle down and live.

Now that the crown prince's pending case is pending investigation, and the elder brother's grievances are still unknown, Kangxi doesn't want to fix Xiunu's whereabouts early. If something happens to the family, won't the object of this Xiunu's marriage be changed?

What's more, referring to the gift of marriage is a grace to both parties, it is the emperor's concern, and it is the emphasis on marriage. When the situation is unclear, Kangxi does not want to waste the beautiful girl.

So the beautiful daughters of Chuxiu Palace waited and waited, and the father and brother outside waited and waited, but they were still not convinced, and they kept alarming how could the queen mother be with the old concubine, so this matter was put on the emperor's agenda.

: "The Sun family of the Xiangbai Banner, the side Fujin of the King of Chengjun."

: "The Nian family of the Xianghuang Banner, the king of Sujun, side Fujin."

: "Zhenglan Banner An's family, Dunbeile side Fujin."

: "Li Jiashi is the red flag, and Minbeile is side Fujin."

: "The He Chun family of the Zhenghuang Banner, the fourteenth Baylor side Fujin."

: "The Wu family with the red flag, Dingjun Wang Shufu Jin."

: "Xiangbaiqi Gaoshi, Minbeile Shufu Jin."

: "Zhengbai Banner Su Clan, Prince Yu's son Gege."

……

The emperor's decree was promulgated slowly. Except for the show girls who were pointed out to the clan's children, there were not many more show girls in the palace. Most of the other show girls left signs for the next selection.

King Dingjun is flying a kite with a big grid in his palace. The gold-plated red phoenix is ​​dragging the big red Double Happiness, swinging in the sky. There are also six-winged colorful butterflies in Fujin, and a long string of golden centipedes from Fucha family in Fujin. , fighting in the sky, twisting their necks to exert strength.

When the news came in, Fujin rewarded the servant who sent the message with a straight face, and then threw the ball of thread in his hand to the girl: "I'm tired, master play with them for a while."

Prince Ding looked at his wives and concubines, and even the always charming Fucha family looked unhappy, and couldn't help smiling: "Since you're tired, let's go in and rest, the Lord will help you get rid of the bad luck, I'm afraid this year Better luck!"

Fujin didn't make a sound, and left with his big girl who was close to him. Dingjun Wang hugged Da Gege, Hu'er Hey, continued to fly high and low, and the few kites gradually drifted away, so he went back with his daughter in his arms.

"Take Da Gege back to change clothes. I felt a lot of sweat when I touched her vest. I'm afraid it would be better to take a bath, so as not to let Da Gege catch the wind and cold." Dingjun Wang asked people, and then told Fu Fu Cha's.

Back in the main room, Fujin had already changed into homely clothes, holding a bowl of bird's nest and drinking one mouthful after another. King Ding knew that she was upset, and was about to speak when Fujin stood up, and asked someone to throw a hot towel to wipe his face hand.

King Dingjun smiled slightly: "I've been staying at home these few days, and I haven't gone anywhere."

Fujin naturally understood what he meant, and felt a little sad and bitter: "I understand that you don't need to worry about me like this. Others also think about me. How can I blame you?"

King Dingjun laughed even harder: "It's hard for me to understand what you said in a circle. It's amazing. Our husband and wife really have the same heart!"

Fujin knew that at this time, a qualified first wife should answer this sentence with a smile, and then say something casually to divert the topic, expressing both her obedience and her status, but she really couldn't do it.

Even if Mrs. Fu Cha had a child before her, she was not so sad.There will always be children, but one after another fresh and tender beauties come in, can the heart of the county king still be on him?

Those beautiful girls from noble backgrounds married in gracefully, longing for the county king with their deer-like eyes, I really can't bear it!

Lowering her head slightly, the handkerchief in her hand was already in a mess, Fujin knew that such silence was wrong, but she didn't want to make a sound at all, her eyes were fixed on a distant corner of the room.

Prince Ding sighed in his heart, feeling a little distressed. Women are inherently different from men. Men can go to the ends of the earth, indulge in their desires, see all the flowers in Chang'an, and walk around the world with a sword, but women have to rely on a man all their lives. What is guarded is nothing more than a few children in a courtyard, the wealth and life are not counted by oneself, and the joy is all in the hands of others.

Thinking of this, King Ding stepped forward, and hugged Fujin affectionately in his arms, leaning on her ear: "Is Alan unhappy? I know Alan is jealous, don't worry, I will go to the palace later Pass the sign in and send that beautiful girl back, I think there must be a lack of people for my brothers."

Fujin was a little embarrassed, all the maids in the room were hugged like this, she was sweet and shy in her heart, knowing that King Ding was coaxing her, how could it be so easy for Xiu Nu to retreat?But he just smiled with reddish eyes, "Master is teasing my concubine again."

King Dingjun said solemnly: "My master never jokes, isn't she just a show girl, what is it compared with the relationship between you and me? It's not like I haven't seen a beauty before? Isn't this hugging? She is beautiful, smart and considerate. , That's great! Those who want to come in will have to spend money to support them, it's not worth it!"

Finally, Fujin couldn't listen any longer, and pushed Dingjun Wang away: "My lord only cares about canceling, he must be dishonest!"

Dingjun Wang laughed: "What's the fun of being a serious and serious family all day long? It's only fun if you tease me and I tease you!"

Fujin tidied up his emotions, and stared lightly at King Dingjun: "On weekdays, I only think that you are reliable in everything, my lord, why are you acting like a child today?"

"Isn't it just to please you?" Prince Ding said cheekily, the girls in the room blushed, and Fujin didn't know what to say, his eyes were full of happiness.

: "Ci Fujin is here." The girl outside raised the cotton curtain and said loudly.

Mrs. Fucha walked in wearing a resplendent and resplendent peacock plume cloak, with a silly smile on her face: "Greetings to Prince Fujin!"

The nanny behind her hugged her older brother Hongkun, and the girl followed in with a hand stove holding a food box, and bowed down like a candle, and Fujin hurriedly called out: "What kind of gift is it? It's not easy to sit down, you can drink it along the way." Wind? Serve the bird's nest soup quickly, and the elder brother will hug me into my arms."

King Dingjun couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Fujin playing with the doll, and Fucha's face as a matter of course. Although this is also kind of selfish, who doesn't like family and prosperity?There is harmony between wives and concubines, although there are some grievances with each other, it is better than a lot.

: "My lord, today my natal family sent fruit. I heard that my cousin from the third uncle's family was accused of giving the eighteenth elder brother Gege. Although she is a concubine, she is also the only daughter of my uncle's family. From now on How nice it is to meet again?" Fu Cha's face was childish, thinking that the sisters could meet again, not to mention how happy they are.

: "Oh, that's a good thing, let Fujin take you into the palace to greet the ladies in a few days, the eighteenth elder brother will go to Jingren Palace to greet each other every day, let you help your cousin to see each other first Is your son-in-law okay?" Dingjun Wang smiled slightly, as if he was coaxing the child, he had already made all the calculations in his heart.

The imperial concubine in the palace sat silently for an afternoon, and finally got up and asked the grand lady to go through the cabinets in her warehouse: "Take out the black lacquer and gold inlaid and dyed tooth makeup dowry that the empress dowager rewarded last year."

The palace lady held out the dowry, and the concubine opened the small door, pulled out the small drawer, and took out the jewels that were full inside to appreciate each one. These are gold-encrusted bead and emerald tassel earrings, and this is a tourmaline group flower burnt blue flat square. This is a round sachet carved with coral, and this is a red hairpin made of magpies Dengmenan.

The palace lady smiled and said: "These are all my mother's favorites in the past. At the beginning, I insisted on saying that they were too gorgeous for the servants to put away. Why do you want to wear them again?"

Empress Defei smiled brightly: "You take this box, go to the Chuxiu Palace, and give it to Xiunu Nianshi! Remember, let everyone see you!"
