The glorious spring scene of the Red House

It was almost March, and a swing frame was set up in the Changchun Palace, saying that during the Ching Ming Festival, the palace people in the Changchun Palace would compete on the swings in front of the ladies.

In the department of Jiji, due to the small space and the large number of people, there is not enough space for future generations.Therefore, Yu Yan also came here to participate in such activities.

Now the sun is getting a bit hot, but it's not yet time to change the seasonal clothes in the palace, so Yu Yan has to wear a jacket so that he can move as long as he can.

"You have to ask Aning about that." Xia Zhaorong listened to Yu Yan's question, and said as it should be: "If you want to say who is the best at swinging in Changchun Palace, then it belongs to her. She was the one who won the first place last year. I won the lottery that the empress took out."

Yu Yan looked at the pair of shoes on Xia Zhaorong's feet, saw her comparing them, and asked, "Is it a little too big? Or... I'll make another pair of insoles."

Xia Zhaorong took off the new shoes on her feet, held them in her hands and looked at them again and again, "Come on, come on, what to do with all this effort, I'm satisfied if you have the heart. It's not suitable to try on shoes now, maybe it's time Wear them at night, these shoes are just right."

There are a lot of people in Changchun Palace who want to curry favor with Xia Zhaorong, it's nothing to make a pair of shoes, some people are even willing to bring water for washing their feet.

Xia Zhaorong really likes Yu Xun, seeing Yu Xun doing such troublesome things to please herself, her love for Yu Xun is more true to Yao Zu.

Xia Zhaorong took Yu Yan's hand, wrapped her fingers around her fingers, and rubbed them together.

Yu Xun felt his hands were itchy, so he retracted his hands unconsciously.

"It takes a lot of effort to make shoes, and if you do too much, your hands will not look good. You are a beautiful girl, you can't just take care of your face, you have to take good care of your hands too."

Yu Yan slowly withdrew his hand, and said shyly: "I only made two pairs, so it took so much effort. Besides, the spring shoes I specially made for laziness took me a month to finish."

When the two of them talked, they were always polite, but they didn't look outside at all.While chatting, they talked about how the insoles should be done, and what kind of patterns should be embroidered on them to match this pair of shoes.

While talking, I somehow turned to the swing again.

"I have old arms and old legs, so I can only stand aside and watch. It's not like you young people who can learn everything quickly. You go and ask Aning first, let her teach you a few tricks, so that you can do it when the time comes. If you can get more rewards in front of your empress."

Yu Yan smiled and agreed, and also said that as soon as he saw Ning Zhaorong, he would go up and hug her thigh and beg her.

"What are you talking about? I'm smiling so happily. Hurry up and follow me, the swing outside has been set up. I'll take you to have a look." Ning Zhaorong beckoned to Yu Xing, telling Yu Xing to follow quickly she goes.

It seems that Yu Yan must learn how to play the swing. She just wanted to learn how to become a master, so she came to accept apprentices as a master.

There are very few times when palace people can have fun, and they can only open up to play during festivals.

It is not yet Qingming, and most people can only look at the swing, hoping that the days will pass quickly, so that Qingming will arrive sooner.

Tomb-sweeping season is rainy, but on this day of Qingming, it suits many people's wishes.

The sky outside is clear and the breeze is blowing, just right for playing on the swing.

Concubine Shu sat on a high place, looking at all the girls with pink faces, shuttled back and forth like colorful butterflies.Some are sitting on swings, swinging in the air; some are holding fans and covering their faces with silly smiles.Shuttlecock kicking, flower ropes, bamboo dragonflies...things that girls love to play with these days can be seen here.

On this day, all the palace people in the palace abandoned, and changed into all kinds of light shirts after wearing brocade silk padded clothes for the winter.

Yu Xing put on a lotus-colored lotus thong, tied a white silk thread around his waist, took a fan, and stood among the court ladies, watching others play.

The nurse in charge brought willow branches and asked everyone to wear them on their temples.The tender green willow leaves make the faces whiter and fairer.

After a while, Yu Yan was pushed and shoved to the front of the swing, and no matter what others said, she would be asked to go up and play for a while.

"Hehehe...Don't push me, I'll just go up. Who is pushing me from behind?" Yu Yan smiled sweetly, gave the fan to someone else, grabbed the rope, and stepped on the swing board.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming..." Zhou Ying came out from the crowd and stood behind Yu Yan.

Yu Yan had only met Zhou Ying a few times, and had long since forgotten who she was, and only thought she looked familiar.

Zhou Ying stretched out her hands and said, "Then I pushed?"

"Push it... ah... you move back quickly." Yu Yan didn't expect Zhou Ying's strength to push her back so far, so he could only call Zhou Ying in a hurry.

Although Yu Xing was a little afraid of heights, after two days of training with Ning Zhaorong, at the end, he didn't show timidity at all, and kept swinging higher and higher.

The illness that occurred in the twelfth lunar month last year made Yu Yan lose a lot of weight. It was not obvious when he was wearing winter clothes, but now that he changed into a shirt, Yu Yan's clearly visible collarbone and graceful waist were revealed. beauty makeup.

Yu Xing swung for a long time without stopping, following the exclamation of others, there was a tendency to swing higher.

The white silk raised the line and curved it, like a wave of water, with sparkling spray.

Yu Xing had a good time, it seemed... If he went higher, he could jump out of the palace wall and see the scenery outside that he hadn't seen for a long time.

The other girls, seeing Yu Yu's slender height, also kept saying yes, and let Yu Yu's swaying height be even higher.

Zhou Ying looked enviously, she originally wanted to go up and play for a while after Yu Yan came down, but when she was about to make a sound, she was pushed outside by others.

Although there is more than one swing, there are many people who want to play on it. Yu Yan left after playing for a while and gave it up to others.

Before the next person could go up, someone called softly and urgently: "The empress is coming this way."

Everyone hurriedly stopped all movements and bowed to salute.

Concubine Shu completely ignored the court ladies who were saluting, and walked straight further away.

"It's the Ninth Prince." Someone reminded softly.

Concubine Shu saw her son's figure at a high place, at first she thought it was a mistake, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"It can be regarded as coming back, can I go to see your father?" Concubine Shu's abnormality was only for a moment, and she regained her senses after thinking about it.

"Son, I have met my mother. Going back to my mother, my son has already met my father. My father asked me to come back and rest first. I will report to him tomorrow about the situation of the disaster relief." The Ninth Prince saluted respectfully. .

"Then... have you met the queen yet?"

"I have already met you, or the queen mother asked me to come and see you soon."

The mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's natural to have a good talk about the family.But they never went into the hall, but the Ninth Prince helped Concubine Shu back to the tall building.

The nanny in charge gave a reward money to Yu Yan and other court ladies, saying that they would continue to play as before.

Concubine Shu and Ninth Prince, how could they bother to look at the bottom, this is just for others to see.

"Who is the court lady who just played on the swing? Why haven't I seen you here before?" Ninth Prince asked.

Concubine Shu didn't take it seriously, and asked someone to straighten her skirt, "Which one are you talking about? There are so many people in my palace, can you still see them all?"

The mother and son were talking nonsense, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The girls beside the swing were all blushing. Since they knew that the Ninth Prince was coming, they stopped playing with their hands and feet.

The same is true for Yu Yan, she is not shy when she meets a man, but... It would be strange if she was the only one playing freely.

Yu Xing took back his fan, and started chatting with someone in a low voice.

Seeing that no one was playing on the swing, Zhou Ying bravely held the rope, stood on the board, and started to swing by herself.

The others stopped talking and looked at Zhou Ying, the "silly and bold".

"Stay here and have lunch with me. I'll send someone to the Shangshi Bureau to report some of your favorite foods." Concubine Shu said expectantly.

"But according to mother's orders." After speaking, the Ninth Prince looked down again: "That girl is also a good swinger, mother is really talented in this palace."

"Are you praising the child or me."
