[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

The topic of greetings on the second day of the Gold Award Festival is bound to revolve around Ling Guifei.

Concubine Yu praised it as if she was sincere: "Yesterday, the imperial concubine's neon dress and feather dress dance is really beautiful, it's really an eye-opener."

"Isn't that right?" Concubine Jia also had a gracious smile, "I heard that Concubine Yang used this dance to touch Tang Xuanzong's heart, and Lord Long Live watched it intently yesterday. I think I must like the dance of Concubine Guifei very much. .”

Although Imperial Concubine Ling knew that their words were nothing but flattery, who wouldn't like to hear good words, and her originally gloomy mood also tended to turn from cloudy to sunny.

With a bit of pride in her heart, she rolled her eyes and looked at Gu Qianqian who was drinking tea, pretending to be modest and said: "Bengong's dance is nothing, after all, I haven't practiced for a few months, and I'm lucky that I didn't embarrass myself Besides, from Bengong’s point of view, Bengong’s dancing still needs some improvement, and I have to let the Empress give some pointers.”

Gu Qianqian was in a trance at first, but she didn't notice that the imperial concubine was brought to her by the topic. She paused, put down the teacup casually, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to give advice. The dance of the imperial concubine's sister is naturally excellent. It seems to Gong that there is nothing to improve. If there is anything to be said, it is that my sister is not suitable for this dance. This neon dress and feather dress dance looks like Yang Guifei. Great beauty, sister..."

When she said this, she covered her lips with a smile, and said: "However, this is just a little idea of ​​this Palace. No need to take it to heart."

Ling Guifei's fingers holding the handkerchief turned white, and the smile on her face couldn't be maintained anymore.

It is said that beating people is not slapping face, she just thought that the queen changed her temper this time, but she didn't expect her mouth to be so poisonous, and she even said that she is not beautiful.

Concubine Ling doesn't know that her appearance is only mediocre, she never seems to care about it on the surface, but if she really doesn't care, how can she treat those beautiful maids who serve her side harshly, and even don't allow them to show their faces in front of Long Live God, When Qianlong passed by, only ordinary-looking people were allowed to serve.

"Where, the concubine would like to thank the empress for her guidance." The noble concubine Ling said holding back her anger.

Gu Qianqian smiled without saying a word, looking at Concubine Ling's neck with bulging veins and the corners of her lips curled up, she wanted to see how much Concubine Ling could endure.

The empress dowager showed displeasure on her face, and she gave Gu Qianqian an angry look, "Empress, what you said is too much. The Ai family thinks it is very suitable for the imperial concubine to dance this dance."

"Since the empress dowager said so, then the concubine made a mistake." Gu Qianqian said casually.

One sentence directly choked all the words in the Queen Mother's stomach.

The empress dowager's face turned blue because of this, and the eyes she looked at Gu Qianqian became more and more poisonous. This empress is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. It is difficult to take advantage of her, and she doesn't give her any face.According to the rules of the ancestors, such an unfaithful and unfilial daughter-in-law should be abolished, but the emperor protected her again, and even did not allow outsiders to spread a word about the queen.

Playing mice is also afraid of breaking the jade bottle.

Facing Gu Qianqian, the Queen Mother was full of anger but helpless.

Therefore, I have no desire to talk to others.

Gu Qianqian was also so happy that she didn't have to look at the old face of the Empress Dowager. After leaving the Palace of Compassion, she was going back to the Changchun Palace, but in a blink of an eye, she thought that she was busy with palace affairs and hadn't been to the Imperial Garden for a while, so she signaled everyone to change direction to the Imperial Palace. garden to go.

It is autumn now, and winter is coming soon.

Hundreds of flowers are still in full bloom in the imperial garden, probably because the flowers also know that winter is coming, so they want to take advantage of the little time left to bloom.

After being busy for a while, Gu Qianqian was in a much better mood to be able to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden so leisurely. She walked to the side of an Eighteen Scholars and bent down to admire the flower.

"Is this camellia an eighteenth bachelor?" Gu Qianqian asked casually.

The little eunuch who was in charge of taking care of the flowers quickly replied: "Your Majesty is right, it is the Eighteenth Bachelor."

Gu Qianqian stretched out her hand to caress the pale pink petals, and she was amazed: "Didn't the eighteen bachelors bloom in January and February? Why is it blooming in October now?"

"Your Majesty, this camellia was originally planted in the greenhouse, and it was moved to the imperial garden when it bloomed a while ago. The greenhouse is warm, and the camellia will naturally bloom early." The little eunuch obviously put in a lot of effort, although he was a little nervous , but the answer is somewhat logical.

Gu Qianqian nodded knowingly, this is probably similar to off-season vegetables in later generations.

"The flowers bloom so beautifully, Madam, why don't you send them to our palace?" Du Juan said with a smile.

They don't like to use aromatherapy in the palace. The empress thinks that using aromatherapy to make fragrance is too strong, and also thinks that using melons and fruits to make fragrance is too extravagant and wasteful, so she uses flowers to make fragrance.Although the scent of these eighteen camellias is a little weaker, at least it is very eye-catching.

Gu Qianqian nodded, "That's not bad."

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from not far away, "Empress Empress."

Gu Qianqian raised her head, and saw Concubine Ling walking slowly with a charming smile, she straightened up, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, this imperial garden is not in the same direction as Concubine Ling's Yonghe Palace, why did Concubine Ling come here up?

"It's such a coincidence, Sister Concubine, that I actually ran into you in the Imperial Garden."

"It's not a coincidence," Ling Guifei saluted Gu Qianqian, got up and said, "This concubine came to the Imperial Garden to pick some flowers for the Empress Dowager."

"Really?" Gu Qianqian's heart moved, she pursed the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "Then sister, can you see any flowers? If you like any flowers, just tell me and have someone send them to the Palace of Compassion."

"The concubine just came here not long ago, and I didn't like any other flowers, so I just fell in love with this Eighteen Scholars." Concubine Ling walked to the side of the camellia, with a look of surprise on her face, she clapped her hands and said, "The Eighteen Scholars The concubine used to only hear the name but never saw the flower, but now that she sees it, she realizes that the reputation is not in vain. She is indeed very beautiful and unique. Empress Dowager, would you like it if you send this flower to the Empress Dowager? "

Concubine Ling looked at Gu Qianqian expectantly, with a strange light shining in her eyes.

This is clearly intentional!Du Juan couldn't help but get angry, just now that the imperial concubine was so close, she couldn't believe that the imperial concubine didn't hear what they said.Knowing that they have already ordered this flower, but they want to snatch it away, and even make excuses that they are going to give it to the Empress Dowager, isn't it clear that they are trying to scare people?

"You are so filial, the Empress Dowager will definitely like it." Gu Qianqian was stunned, then said with a smile, she looked at the eunuch who was serving Camellia, "The eighteen bachelors will be sent to the Palace of Compassion, but there is another Strain?"

"No more." The little eunuch was a little apprehensive, and replied cautiously: "There is only one Eighteen Scholars planted in the greenhouse, and there are not many more."

This kind of camellia is extremely delicate, and there may not be many flowering seasons, let alone it is not yet its flowering season.

"That's it." Gu Qianqian felt a little regretful, she was not ignorant of Ling Guifei's tricks, but she didn't plan to fight with Ling Guifei over this trivial matter, "Then this flower should be given to the Empress Dowager, it can be regarded as my filial piety to the Empress Dowager .”

Ling Guifei sneered in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face: "The Empress is really filial."

She raised her chin at the maid next to her, and said: "Don't send this flower to the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

The little maid hurriedly stepped forward. The two young maids were less than fifteen years old. They were skinny and had no strength. Gu Qianqian felt pitiful looking at them, but this was someone else's court lady. She didn't need to talk too much.

Therefore, Gu Qianqian turned her head and looked to the side, but the corner of her eyes inadvertently swept across the rockery. Her sight seemed to have seen something, she paused slightly, and then retracted it as if inadvertently.

Behind the rockery, Li Yu shrank his head and followed behind Qianlong.

The corners of his lips twitched imperceptibly, and he felt a little sympathy for their Long Live Lord.So what if Lord Long Live has three thousand beauties in the harem, now he wants to hide behind a rockery.

Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ling get into a dispute, the empress dowager is on the left and the concubine Ling is on the right, and the empress dowager is protecting the concubine Ling, no matter how Long Live God handles it, he will inevitably offend one party.

Therefore, one thing more is worse than one thing less, so Qianlong hid behind the rockery, waiting for the queen and concubine to leave.

"Sister Concubine is leaving now?" Gu Qianqian deliberately asked too much.

Concubine Ling originally wanted to leave, but she stopped when she heard these words, but she changed her mind. The resentment in her heart yesterday and today is not enough to vent out just by snatching such an eighteen bachelor plant, "Chen Qie is not in a hurry to leave , but the empress is going to leave?"

"I still want to enjoy the flowers, so pick some flowers and put them back." Gu Qianqian smiled, as if she didn't notice the sinister thoughts of the noble concubine Ling.

It made the imperial concubine feel happy, it was really too kind to her.

Just now in the Compassion Ning Palace, the empress made her so ashamed, and later, she will also make the empress completely ashamed.Doesn't the queen want to pick flowers?The queen picks one, and she wants one.As long as the banner of the queen mother is pulled out, the queen can only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

"The concubine will enjoy the flowers with you."

Gu Qianqian looked a little surprised, looked up at Concubine Ling, and hummed lightly.

Nowadays, there are not as many flowers blooming in this season as in summer, but they are also colorful and each has its own merits. The peonies are luxurious, the peonies are beautiful, the chrysanthemums are elegant, and the camellias are elegant. The flowers in the garden are all famous species.

Gu Qianqian quickly fell in love with a new flower. Standing in front of the Wei Zi peony, she clapped her hands and sighed: "Only the peony is really beautiful, and this Wei Zi peony really lives up to its reputation. It will be..."

"The Empress Dowager really has good eyesight, and my concubine also thinks that this peony flower is very suitable for the Empress Dowager." Ling Guifei said with a gentle smile on her face.

Gu Qianqian withdrew the smile on her face, her eyes sank slightly, and she looked at Concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling is not afraid of the queen making trouble, even if the queen makes trouble, she will later reason that the queen is not filial to the queen mother, and the queen will suffer at that time.
