According to Concubine Shu's words, Baochai had already returned to her small courtyard. After Qiulan fetched water to wash her, she sent her away: Baochai now needs to think about how to go about his harem road, Only then can he successfully overwhelm Jia Yuanchun, who is too favored by the emperor.
What is not good for Baochai is that although the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, he still has a lot of control over the court and the harem. At present, he and the present can be regarded as one of the two big bosses in this palace.And Jia Yuanchun had already been labeled as the Supreme Emperor because of his birth, even the empress had to give her some face, not to mention Baochai, the concubine Shu's sixth-rank female official.
However, just because of being labeled as the Supreme Emperor, there are many advantages to Baochai.At least the present day and the empress definitely don't like it, and the present day concubines follow the two bosses closely.And from the general situation, the Taishanghuang must not survive today.
But there is a doubt here, a question that Baochai understands, Jia Yuanchun, who entered the palace a few years earlier than her, really can't think of it?Don't tell her that because of her birth, Jia Yuanchun has big eyes and a hollow heart, with a chest but no brains.Baochai, who was still worried about her IQ before seeing Jia Yuanchun, changed her mind when she saw Jia Yuanchun's eyes.
Those are ambitious eyes!An ambitious person should judge the situation and should not be so eager for quick success like Jia Yuanchun.But she gave everyone the impression that she was bullying others, and she was bullying the most honorable couple in the world.
Who gave her the guts?Is it too emperor? Baochai doesn't think so.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the power that the Supreme Emperor can control now is still the old ministers such as the four kings and eight princes he valued back then, but most of these people have gone, and there are few outstanding figures in the descendants. .
But can a confidant's confidant become one's own confidant?This point can be understood only by looking at the development of the original work: it is the present that finally prevails!That is to say, some or even most of the cronies brought up by the Taishanghuang's cronies must have joined the present, otherwise the Jia family, one of the eight princes, would not have been dealt with today while the Taishanghuang was still alive.
Apart from the Supreme Emperor, there is only one person left who can make Jia Yuanchun do this: Today!He is acting with Jia Yuanchun!Thinking of the fact that Baochai here has a big head, double-faced agents and infernal affairs are really not her strong point.What's more, it is obvious that Jia Yuanchun has already obtained the double recognition of the Supreme Emperor and the present, so her chances of winning are really slim.
It's no wonder that when she was complacent in Concubine Shu's inner room that day, the system would prompt that the task was falsely completed.Sure enough, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.Now Baochai hopes that she has misread and thought wrongly, and Jia Yuanchun is still what everyone thinks, with big eyes and empty heart, big chest and no brains.
Worrying about other people's IQ is better than worrying about your own.
"Ma'am, it's time for dinner." Qiulan asked carefully from outside the door.Baochai looked out the window, it was nearly noon, and it was not time to eat.Having been alone in the room for so long, it's no wonder that Qiulan's words were filled with worry.
"Bring it in." Baochai replied.After hastily eating, she woke up after a rest, and she came to Nanny Yao's yard again.
"Mommy, Bi Tao said today that the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival is coming soon, I don't know what day it is. The empress also asked me to prepare it too, but I'm just a female official, so I'm afraid the things I prepare won't catch the Empress Empress' eyes."
Mother Yao taught her a lesson: "Whether you can get into the eyes of the empress or not is the empress's business, but you are a female officer appointed by the empress herself, and it is your duty to prepare with all your heart. There are still more than two months left. The Empress's Qianqiu Festival is on October 28. The Empress Shu can ask Bitao to remind you, so she loves you."
Baochai laughed and said, "That's not it, my empress is very kind to me. That's why it's not easy to choose what to prepare for the queen empress. It would be bad if I lose my empress's face."
Mother Yao had a smile on her face: "What's the matter. Who doesn't know that you were selected by the maid of honor, what can you bring into the palace as usual? Even if you offer it to the empress, it's just a wish. Do more Needlework."
This is not too difficult, not to mention the practice of Xiren's life, even in this life, the two nuns in the family are also watching it closely.It's just that the evaluation he got was similar to that of Xiren's life, that is, more neat and less spiritual.Mother Yao gave her a similar evaluation.
So Baochai said shyly, "It's just that my needlework is just neat and tidy."
Nanny Yao said: "As long as you have a good intention, neatness is enough."
"There may be hundreds if not a thousand people in this palace who want to do needlework for the empress." Baochai didn't have much confidence.
Nanny Yao sneered: "Those people's things really can't reach the empress."
Then Baochai thought of another question: "Mommy, I don't know when our mother's Qianqiu will be."
"You're talking nonsense again, you're bringing trouble on your mother." The color on Yao Nanny's face was a bit wrong.Only then did Baochai remember that the emperor’s birthday is called Wanshou, and the queen’s birthday is called Qianqiu, but Concubine Shu is just a concubine. I really can't get away with the crime of being a bit.
"Mommy, I was wrong. I just said what I said, please punish me, Mommy." As he said that, he wanted to give himself a slap in the face.I don't want Yao Momo to hold her hand: "How come the rules have become so loose in the past few days? But what happened in the Queen's Palace today?"
Baochai finally came to his senses when she saw that Nanny Yao wouldn't allow her to slap her mouth. As a rule in this palace, you can hit the board but not face, even self-punishment.When she saw Jia Yuanchun today, she was already a little uneasy, and she frightened herself in the morning, so she was only now in a panic, always making mistakes in her actions.
Now that Mother Yao asked, she had to learn how Jia Yuanchun had to talk to herself after the concubines were gone: "You said, Mother, I am serving the empress, so what does it matter if she insists on dragging me to talk?" Nothing. There is no reason for me to leave my mother alone and talk to her. But she is the person who can often greet the Supreme Emperor, so it is easy for her to come and communicate with the family. If it is because of me that the family is troubled, how good it is. "
Mother Yao fell silent after hearing this, and she forgave Baochai's misbehavior: no matter how calm she is on weekdays, she still panics when encountering things.But he is still a 13-year-old child, and he still has to grind in this deep palace.
"It's nothing. It was the wrong time for her to look for it today. If you have a chance next time, you can just apologize to her. As for the message to the family, if she can get through, you can't." ?”
Baochai was sure that when she spoke the last sentence, Nanny Yao gave her a stern look. Although she took it back immediately, she couldn't pretend that she didn't see it.So she said even more aggrieved: "Message with the family? Where is Jia Nushi's home, and where is my home? Besides, my father only chatted with the adults of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before sending me into the palace, but The adults of the Ministry of Internal Affairs know which one I am."
Such an aggrieved expression, as if there was a grievance and nowhere to complain, made people feel sympathetic.Nanny Yao couldn't help persuading her: "You don't have to scare yourself. Even if it's easy for her to send news to her family, she won't take these trivial things as an example, and what's more, she doesn't do it unreasonably. "
"But in the end I didn't save face for her, and my mother also said that I was dry." Baochai still looked worried.
Nanny Yao smiled knowingly: "Your Majesty told you, then you will have a reason to apologize to her next time you see her. If you lower your posture, who will let her rank higher than you."
Baochai pretended to be educated: "Thank you Mammy, if Mammy hadn't told me, I would have hardly scared myself to death. The family expects me to earn a decent income, if I don't earn a decent income, I will be annoyed by the family." If there is a disaster, then I will be guilty of a great crime."
Nanny Yao laughed and said: "Little man, nothing happened. It's just a matter of how big it is. You are so scared. You also said that you are better than others, so it's just a matter of face. It's good to think about the empress's future." Courtesy is decent."
Baochai got up in embarrassment, buried her head low and low, and scratched her fingers on the table.After a while, I asked cautiously: "Mommy, people say that the empress is the mother of the world, so how about I embroider a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix?"
Mother Yao nodded and said: "It's a good idea, but the phoenix is not easy to embroider, and it's difficult to arrange the patterns of the birds."
After hearing this, Baochai also knew that Madam Yao was not optimistic about her embroidery work. After all, birds are living creatures, and being more agile can always be tricky, which Baochai is not good at.
"Let me tell you, you only embroidered a picture of peonies in a large size, with more colors and brighter colors, and the size is added, I'm afraid it can be a coincidence." Yao Nanny put forward her own opinion.This means winning by quantity.
But Baochai was still a little disgusted: "It can be considered that I have learned sewing for a few years, but I haven't made much progress."
Mother Yao comforted her and said: "It's good. It's just a good intention, just to show your filial piety. The empress has never seen such a good thing. You go back and draw the flowers, and I will refer to you. "
Baochai had no choice but to go back to her yard, planning to win with poor craftsmanship.Although she is only a literary website, she has seen a lot of those old-fashioned covers, and after patching them together, there are many patterns that are not seen in this era.
Grandma Yao was also amazed when she saw it, thinking that if such a pattern could be embroidered by skillful hands, it would surely shine on the Qianqiu Festival.But Baochai drew it like this, and it's hard for her to win it, so I had to give her some advice on the color matching, so as not to spoil such a good pattern.
After showing Concubine Shu the patterns that she and Nanny Yao had studied in detail, Baochai took a piece of white silk from the storeroom, found all kinds of embroidery thread, and began to embroider the Qianqiu gift for the empress.
Because of the uncertain factor of Jia Yuanchun, Baochai thought that he would overwhelm her within all possible limits, and this time the queen's Qianqiu ceremony was also considered one of them.So after listening to Yao Nanny's words, I enlarged the scale as much as possible, and it was six feet long and four feet wide, with a hundred kinds of peonies carefully drawn on it.
I also thought that my embroidery work is only considered smooth, so I put all my energy into the color transition, striving to be natural, and I really put in [-]% of my effort.However, serving Concubine Shu every day, receiving monthly routines and other things can't be delayed, so I have to take two injections when I have time, and go to bed later at night.
I could survive a day or two, but after seven or eight days, my eyes were already blue, and I could only cover them with powder every day.At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the palace was full of busy festivals. She, the female official who was in charge of Concubine Shu's clothes, also wanted to meet some wives, so her expression was a little strange.
"What's the matter with you these past few days?" Bi Tao took the time to ask Baochai.
Baochai gave a wry smile: "It's not that I've overestimated my capabilities, the pattern has been drawn, and the hair has been raised. Who knows that it's difficult to embroider."
Bi Tao had to remind her: "Then you have to pay attention. This is in our palace. If you go out and continue to do this, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will pick a mistake. You are a female official, and you have to go to the Queen's Queen's Kunning Palace anyway." kowtow."
Baochai knew that what she said was reasonable, and she also wanted to work slowly and meticulously, so that she stopped pushing herself as much as she did at the beginning.After all, he is young, but after raising him for two days, he is full of energy again.
Coming together on the fifteenth day, Concubine Shu's face was full of joy, and she looked outside her palace gate from time to time.Everyone in the palace knew that they were looking forward to the arrival of the third prince sooner.It's pitiful to say that when the princes are six years old, they have to study in the upper study and move to the prince's residence early.The day when I can see my mother all year round, that is, the New Year's Day and my mother's birthday and my birthday.
Children miss their mothers, but why don't mothers miss their sons?What's more, at Concubine Shu's age, even if the favor is still there, it's just a matter of coming to sit and talk for a while when there is nothing to do, but the matter of being favored is gone.And in such a palace, of course, relying on the husband is not as good as relying on the son, and one's heart is tied to the son.
Under the expectation of the people in the first palace, the third prince appeared in front of the gate of Shangli Palace, and the little eunuch who followed held a box in his hand, and only handed it to the third prince in front of the main hall.He still walked up the steps unhurriedly, and asked Bi Tao: "Is the concubine mother up? Have you eaten yet?"
Bi Tao picked up the curtain with her own hands, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is waiting for you, why would you want to use it yourself first?"
The third prince had already arrived in the hall, and bowed to Concubine Shu: "Greetings to concubine mother. I haven't seen you for a few days, concubine mother is in good spirits."
Concubine Shu cried out repeatedly, and said with a smile: "I only learned to be glib in the study room."
The third prince was not annoyed, and handed over the things in his hand: "Mother and concubine, take a look, do you like it?"
Baochai took the box that Concubine Shu had opened, and saw a scroll inside.As Concubine Shu unfolded slowly, she realized that it was a landscape.She didn't know it, but Concubine Shu had already exclaimed: "Zhao Xuesong's landscape? Where did you get it?"
Situ Yu just smiled: "That day, my father took an exam on our homework and saw that his son answered well, so he rewarded this. He also told his son not to spoil it. The mother and concubine understand this, so let the mother and concubine keep it."
Concubine Shu was very happy that her son won the reward, but she was also a little worried: "Your elder brother and the others won it?"
Situ Yu laughed and said, "That's right. The eldest brother got a sword, the second brother got a brush, and the fourth brother got ink." He was the most outstanding one.Concubine Shu couldn't suppress her son too much, she had to look at it happily before letting Baochai put it away.
"It's good to keep it, don't let the bugs eat it." Situ Yu asked with some concern.
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Baochai is also literate, so I can't be more concerned about these things."
Baochai held the painting carefully, and immediately opened the warehouse to put it away, and then made a heavy note in the account book, so that she could feel relieved.Before they waited for the servants to eat, Concubine Shu had already brought the third prince to pay respects to the queen, and Baochai had to follow--today is a holiday, and the female officials also had to greet the queen.
There were quite a few people paying respects to Kunning Palace in the past, but even more today.Those who can enter the house are not counted, those beauties and talented people are standing in the courtyard, waiting to kowtow to the empress along with the female officials in the palaces.Fortunately, this time the empress wanted to bring someone to pay her respects to the empress dowager, so after being promoted to the seat, everyone inside and outside the room saluted together, and she took people out to the Compassionate Ning Palace.
Fortunately, Baochai was more thoughtful. As soon as the queen and others came out, she had quietly taken a look at Concubine Shu's position, and as soon as someone passed by, she stood up and followed, otherwise she would go out according to the rank later, and she would chase after her. Can't catch up with Concubine Shu's sedan chair.
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Peace Palace, everyone is exhausted and exhausted.It's just that the third prince arrived at Shangli Palace today, and he can attend the evening palace banquet with Concubine Shu, so all the people in Shangli Palace, with the kind of joy that wanted to laugh but tried not to laugh, served this To mother and son.
Baochai also pretended in the main hall for a while, but she was thinking about her embroidery work, so she had to talk to Bitao, and went back to her yard to continue working.In order to prevent dust from falling, Baochai deliberately covered the embroidered cloth with only the unembroidered parts exposed.It's just that the time is short, and only one tenth of the scene has been embroidered.
In the past two days, because of rushing to work, Baochai didn't want to push herself as hard as before. She just thought it was her temper: the contest with Yuanchun hadn't started yet, so she frightened herself to death, didn't she? Because of instability of mind?Fortunately, I still claim to be a mature website, and I have all kinds of palace fighting articles in my mind for reference.
Do this for a moment and rest for a while, and it will be the time when the full moon rises.Seeing that Baochai had put away her needle and thread, Qiulan asked courteously: "Do you want to go out for a stroll?"
Baochai is just a sneer, and throughout the year, the only thing that can make the little maids relax a little is the days like three festivals and two birthdays.Qiulan said that she was asking her to go for a stroll, why didn't she just want to take a walk?
Baochai couldn't help asking: "Do you have any good sisters in this palace? If so, you might as well go and play with them. I've been tired all day today, and I wish I could lie down and have a rest."
Qiu Lanyang said: "If the female officials don't go shopping, how can the servants have any reason to go shopping by themselves? It's hard to relax the rules today. We have been in the palace for so long, and we haven't seen what the imperial garden looks like."
Baochai had to remind her: "Today the sage and the ladies are enjoying the moon in the imperial garden, so you go there to join in. Be careful and let someone take it as a thief."
Qiu Lan pouted: "The imperial garden is so big, let's just go to a place with few people and just turn around."
This girl is usually not very playful, so she hesitated to persuade Baochai like this.Deliberately still said: "Then you just go by yourself. When someone asks, they just say that I know you have gone out to find a sister. It's just that you should tell me who it is, so as not to be wrong with you when it happens."
Seeing that Baochai just didn't move, Qiulan became a little annoyed: "Why are there any sisters? It's just the sisters cleaning together, saying that the imperial garden is lively today, and they invited the servants to go see the world together."
Baochai smiled and said, "Then you can just go by yourself. I have to go to Mammy's place for a while, just to spend a holiday with her."
Qiu Lan's eyes lit up a little: "But the servant girl went shopping by herself, and let the female officer go to see the nanny by herself. Tomorrow, the nanny will have to nag the servant girl again."
Baochai gave her a slight nod: "This is very difficult. You want to go shopping, but you are afraid of nanny. Otherwise, you should go to Mammy's place with me. You can't say that the mammy's duty and the mother's reward are added. It’s two more than our mooncakes.”
Qiulan hurriedly said: "Forget it. I can see how the nobles celebrate the festival, even if the nanny is nagging tomorrow. It's not like I haven't eaten moon cakes at home."
Baochai still told her: "Just look at it from a distance and come back. Don't run into anyone. If you see that I'm not in the house when you come back, just go and look for me at Mammy's." Qiulan agreed and went out happily up.
Baochai was absent-minded for a while, tidied up the things in the house, and then turned around and left her small courtyard.It's just that she just turned a corner and walked for a while, and she seemed to remember something and forgot to take it, so she turned back and walked towards her yard.Before reaching his own courtyard, he came to Concubine Shu's main hall again.
Concubine Shu and the third prince have already gone back to the palace banquet, and it should be the time when singing and drinking, there are only a few rough envoys in the palace who are not on stage.Baochai was just about to beat them, seeing that they had also received some food and wine, but Concubine Shu hadn't come back yet, so she dared not move lightly.
When the nuns saw Baochai, they knew that he was someone with a position, so they couldn't help but greet him with a smile: "The lady officer is here. The empress has not left yet at this time, I think we have to wait for a while."
Baochai shook her head: "I'm not here to serve my mother, but to ask the mothers for help." The mothers looked puzzled, and Baochai said, "It's really that I have an embroidery job, and Mother Yao helped me. It’s been stretched and embroidered. I wanted to ask Mammy Yao to give me some pointers, but the shelf was too big, so I wanted to ask Mammy Yao to help lift it up.”
It turned out that it was such a trivial matter, and this was the work of rough envoys.Two people who wanted to curry favor followed Baochai to her yard to move things.The courtyard door was ajar, and Baochai smiled and said, "My memory is normal, I remember closing the door when I left just now."
When I looked up again, I realized that the lights in the main room had not been turned off.A nanny took two quick steps: "At such a young age, the female officer has a lot of forgetfulness. The door is the only thing, and the light should be turned off." As she said that, she pushed the door open.
Who knew there was someone in the room, Baochai couldn't help asking, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
What is not good for Baochai is that although the Supreme Emperor has abdicated, he still has a lot of control over the court and the harem. At present, he and the present can be regarded as one of the two big bosses in this palace.And Jia Yuanchun had already been labeled as the Supreme Emperor because of his birth, even the empress had to give her some face, not to mention Baochai, the concubine Shu's sixth-rank female official.
However, just because of being labeled as the Supreme Emperor, there are many advantages to Baochai.At least the present day and the empress definitely don't like it, and the present day concubines follow the two bosses closely.And from the general situation, the Taishanghuang must not survive today.
But there is a doubt here, a question that Baochai understands, Jia Yuanchun, who entered the palace a few years earlier than her, really can't think of it?Don't tell her that because of her birth, Jia Yuanchun has big eyes and a hollow heart, with a chest but no brains.Baochai, who was still worried about her IQ before seeing Jia Yuanchun, changed her mind when she saw Jia Yuanchun's eyes.
Those are ambitious eyes!An ambitious person should judge the situation and should not be so eager for quick success like Jia Yuanchun.But she gave everyone the impression that she was bullying others, and she was bullying the most honorable couple in the world.
Who gave her the guts?Is it too emperor? Baochai doesn't think so.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the power that the Supreme Emperor can control now is still the old ministers such as the four kings and eight princes he valued back then, but most of these people have gone, and there are few outstanding figures in the descendants. .
But can a confidant's confidant become one's own confidant?This point can be understood only by looking at the development of the original work: it is the present that finally prevails!That is to say, some or even most of the cronies brought up by the Taishanghuang's cronies must have joined the present, otherwise the Jia family, one of the eight princes, would not have been dealt with today while the Taishanghuang was still alive.

Worrying about other people's IQ is better than worrying about your own.
"Ma'am, it's time for dinner." Qiulan asked carefully from outside the door.Baochai looked out the window, it was nearly noon, and it was not time to eat.Having been alone in the room for so long, it's no wonder that Qiulan's words were filled with worry.

The color on Yao Nanny's face was a bit wrong.Only then did Baochai remember that the emperor’s birthday is called Wanshou, and the queen’s birthday is called Qianqiu, but Concubine Shu is just a concubine. I really can't get away with the crime of being a bit.
"Mommy, I was wrong. I just said what I said, please punish me, Mommy." As he said that, he wanted to give himself a slap in the face.I don't want Yao Momo to hold her hand: "How come the rules have become so loose in the past few days? But what happened in the Queen's Palace today?"

Nanny Yao smiled knowingly: "Your Majesty told you, then you will have a reason to apologize to her next time you see her. If you lower your posture, who will let her rank higher than you."
Baochai pretended to be educated: "Thank you Mammy, if Mammy hadn't told me, I would have hardly scared myself to death. The family expects me to earn a decent income, if I don't earn a decent income, I will be annoyed by the family." If there is a disaster, then I will be guilty of a great crime."
Nanny Yao laughed and said: "Little man, nothing happened. It's just a matter of how big it is. You are so scared. You also said that you are better than others, so it's just a matter of face. It's good to think about the empress's future." Courtesy is decent."
Baochai got up in embarrassment, buried her head low and low, and scratched her fingers on the table.After a while, I asked cautiously: "Mommy, people say that the empress is the mother of the world, so how about I embroider a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix?"

"Let me tell you, you only embroidered a picture of peonies in a large size, with more colors and brighter colors, and the size is added, I'm afraid it can be a coincidence." Yao Nanny put forward her own opinion.This means winning by quantity.
But Baochai was still a little disgusted: "It can be considered that I have learned sewing for a few years, but I haven't made much progress."
Mother Yao comforted her and said: "It's good. It's just a good intention, just to show your filial piety. The empress has never seen such a good thing. You go back and draw the flowers, and I will refer to you. "
Baochai had no choice but to go back to her yard, planning to win with poor craftsmanship.Although she is only a literary website, she has seen a lot of those old-fashioned covers, and after patching them together, there are many patterns that are not seen in this era.
Grandma Yao was also amazed when she saw it, thinking that if such a pattern could be embroidered by skillful hands, it would surely shine on the Qianqiu Festival.But Baochai drew it like this, and it's hard for her to win it, so I had to give her some advice on the color matching, so as not to spoil such a good pattern.
After showing Concubine Shu the patterns that she and Nanny Yao had studied in detail, Baochai took a piece of white silk from the storeroom, found all kinds of embroidery thread, and began to embroider the Qianqiu gift for the empress.
Because of the uncertain factor of Jia Yuanchun, Baochai thought that he would overwhelm her within all possible limits, and this time the queen's Qianqiu ceremony was also considered one of them.So after listening to Yao Nanny's words, I enlarged the scale as much as possible, and it was six feet long and four feet wide, with a hundred kinds of peonies carefully drawn on it.
I also thought that my embroidery work is only considered smooth, so I put all my energy into the color transition, striving to be natural, and I really put in [-]% of my effort.However, serving Concubine Shu every day, receiving monthly routines and other things can't be delayed, so I have to take two injections when I have time, and go to bed later at night.
I could survive a day or two, but after seven or eight days, my eyes were already blue, and I could only cover them with powder every day.At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the palace was full of busy festivals. She, the female official who was in charge of Concubine Shu's clothes, also wanted to meet some wives, so her expression was a little strange.
"What's the matter with you these past few days?" Bi Tao took the time to ask Baochai.
Baochai gave a wry smile: "It's not that I've overestimated my capabilities, the pattern has been drawn, and the hair has been raised. Who knows that it's difficult to embroider."
Bi Tao had to remind her: "Then you have to pay attention. This is in our palace. If you go out and continue to do this, it is inevitable that someone with a heart will pick a mistake. You are a female official, and you have to go to the Queen's Queen's Kunning Palace anyway." kowtow."
Baochai knew that what she said was reasonable, and she also wanted to work slowly and meticulously, so that she stopped pushing herself as much as she did at the beginning.After all, he is young, but after raising him for two days, he is full of energy again.
Coming together on the fifteenth day, Concubine Shu's face was full of joy, and she looked outside her palace gate from time to time.Everyone in the palace knew that they were looking forward to the arrival of the third prince sooner.It's pitiful to say that when the princes are six years old, they have to study in the upper study and move to the prince's residence early.The day when I can see my mother all year round, that is, the New Year's Day and my mother's birthday and my birthday.
Children miss their mothers, but why don't mothers miss their sons?What's more, at Concubine Shu's age, even if the favor is still there, it's just a matter of coming to sit and talk for a while when there is nothing to do, but the matter of being favored is gone.And in such a palace, of course, relying on the husband is not as good as relying on the son, and one's heart is tied to the son.
Under the expectation of the people in the first palace, the third prince appeared in front of the gate of Shangli Palace, and the little eunuch who followed held a box in his hand, and only handed it to the third prince in front of the main hall.He still walked up the steps unhurriedly, and asked Bi Tao: "Is the concubine mother up? Have you eaten yet?"
Bi Tao picked up the curtain with her own hands, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is waiting for you, why would you want to use it yourself first?"
The third prince had already arrived in the hall, and bowed to Concubine Shu: "Greetings to concubine mother. I haven't seen you for a few days, concubine mother is in good spirits."
Concubine Shu cried out repeatedly, and said with a smile: "I only learned to be glib in the study room."
The third prince was not annoyed, and handed over the things in his hand: "Mother and concubine, take a look, do you like it?"
Baochai took the box that Concubine Shu had opened, and saw a scroll inside.As Concubine Shu unfolded slowly, she realized that it was a landscape.She didn't know it, but Concubine Shu had already exclaimed: "Zhao Xuesong's landscape? Where did you get it?"
Situ Yu just smiled: "That day, my father took an exam on our homework and saw that his son answered well, so he rewarded this. He also told his son not to spoil it. The mother and concubine understand this, so let the mother and concubine keep it."
Concubine Shu was very happy that her son won the reward, but she was also a little worried: "Your elder brother and the others won it?"
Situ Yu laughed and said, "That's right. The eldest brother got a sword, the second brother got a brush, and the fourth brother got ink." He was the most outstanding one.Concubine Shu couldn't suppress her son too much, she had to look at it happily before letting Baochai put it away.
"It's good to keep it, don't let the bugs eat it." Situ Yu asked with some concern.
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Baochai is also literate, so I can't be more concerned about these things."
Baochai held the painting carefully, and immediately opened the warehouse to put it away, and then made a heavy note in the account book, so that she could feel relieved.Before they waited for the servants to eat, Concubine Shu had already brought the third prince to pay respects to the queen, and Baochai had to follow--today is a holiday, and the female officials also had to greet the queen.
There were quite a few people paying respects to Kunning Palace in the past, but even more today.Those who can enter the house are not counted, those beauties and talented people are standing in the courtyard, waiting to kowtow to the empress along with the female officials in the palaces.Fortunately, this time the empress wanted to bring someone to pay her respects to the empress dowager, so after being promoted to the seat, everyone inside and outside the room saluted together, and she took people out to the Compassionate Ning Palace.
Fortunately, Baochai was more thoughtful. As soon as the queen and others came out, she had quietly taken a look at Concubine Shu's position, and as soon as someone passed by, she stood up and followed, otherwise she would go out according to the rank later, and she would chase after her. Can't catch up with Concubine Shu's sedan chair.
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Peace Palace, everyone is exhausted and exhausted.It's just that the third prince arrived at Shangli Palace today, and he can attend the evening palace banquet with Concubine Shu, so all the people in Shangli Palace, with the kind of joy that wanted to laugh but tried not to laugh, served this To mother and son.
Baochai also pretended in the main hall for a while, but she was thinking about her embroidery work, so she had to talk to Bitao, and went back to her yard to continue working.In order to prevent dust from falling, Baochai deliberately covered the embroidered cloth with only the unembroidered parts exposed.It's just that the time is short, and only one tenth of the scene has been embroidered.
In the past two days, because of rushing to work, Baochai didn't want to push herself as hard as before. She just thought it was her temper: the contest with Yuanchun hadn't started yet, so she frightened herself to death, didn't she? Because of instability of mind?Fortunately, I still claim to be a mature website, and I have all kinds of palace fighting articles in my mind for reference.
Do this for a moment and rest for a while, and it will be the time when the full moon rises.Seeing that Baochai had put away her needle and thread, Qiulan asked courteously: "Do you want to go out for a stroll?"
Baochai is just a sneer, and throughout the year, the only thing that can make the little maids relax a little is the days like three festivals and two birthdays.Qiulan said that she was asking her to go for a stroll, why didn't she just want to take a walk?
Baochai couldn't help asking: "Do you have any good sisters in this palace? If so, you might as well go and play with them. I've been tired all day today, and I wish I could lie down and have a rest."
Qiu Lanyang said: "If the female officials don't go shopping, how can the servants have any reason to go shopping by themselves? It's hard to relax the rules today. We have been in the palace for so long, and we haven't seen what the imperial garden looks like."
Baochai had to remind her: "Today the sage and the ladies are enjoying the moon in the imperial garden, so you go there to join in. Be careful and let someone take it as a thief."
Qiu Lan pouted: "The imperial garden is so big, let's just go to a place with few people and just turn around."
This girl is usually not very playful, so she hesitated to persuade Baochai like this.Deliberately still said: "Then you just go by yourself. When someone asks, they just say that I know you have gone out to find a sister. It's just that you should tell me who it is, so as not to be wrong with you when it happens."
Seeing that Baochai just didn't move, Qiulan became a little annoyed: "Why are there any sisters? It's just the sisters cleaning together, saying that the imperial garden is lively today, and they invited the servants to go see the world together."
Baochai smiled and said, "Then you can just go by yourself. I have to go to Mammy's place for a while, just to spend a holiday with her."
Qiu Lan's eyes lit up a little: "But the servant girl went shopping by herself, and let the female officer go to see the nanny by herself. Tomorrow, the nanny will have to nag the servant girl again."
Baochai gave her a slight nod: "This is very difficult. You want to go shopping, but you are afraid of nanny. Otherwise, you should go to Mammy's place with me. You can't say that the mammy's duty and the mother's reward are added. It’s two more than our mooncakes.”
Qiulan hurriedly said: "Forget it. I can see how the nobles celebrate the festival, even if the nanny is nagging tomorrow. It's not like I haven't eaten moon cakes at home."
Baochai still told her: "Just look at it from a distance and come back. Don't run into anyone. If you see that I'm not in the house when you come back, just go and look for me at Mammy's." Qiulan agreed and went out happily up.
Baochai was absent-minded for a while, tidied up the things in the house, and then turned around and left her small courtyard.It's just that she just turned a corner and walked for a while, and she seemed to remember something and forgot to take it, so she turned back and walked towards her yard.Before reaching his own courtyard, he came to Concubine Shu's main hall again.
Concubine Shu and the third prince have already gone back to the palace banquet, and it should be the time when singing and drinking, there are only a few rough envoys in the palace who are not on stage.Baochai was just about to beat them, seeing that they had also received some food and wine, but Concubine Shu hadn't come back yet, so she dared not move lightly.
When the nuns saw Baochai, they knew that he was someone with a position, so they couldn't help but greet him with a smile: "The lady officer is here. The empress has not left yet at this time, I think we have to wait for a while."
Baochai shook her head: "I'm not here to serve my mother, but to ask the mothers for help." The mothers looked puzzled, and Baochai said, "It's really that I have an embroidery job, and Mother Yao helped me. It’s been stretched and embroidered. I wanted to ask Mammy Yao to give me some pointers, but the shelf was too big, so I wanted to ask Mammy Yao to help lift it up.”
It turned out that it was such a trivial matter, and this was the work of rough envoys.Two people who wanted to curry favor followed Baochai to her yard to move things.The courtyard door was ajar, and Baochai smiled and said, "My memory is normal, I remember closing the door when I left just now."
When I looked up again, I realized that the lights in the main room had not been turned off.A nanny took two quick steps: "At such a young age, the female officer has a lot of forgetfulness. The door is the only thing, and the light should be turned off." As she said that, she pushed the door open.
Who knew there was someone in the room, Baochai couldn't help asking, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
