Chapter 28 Chapter 28 You Owe Me

At this time, Li Qingwan ordered the palace servants to clear away the dishes on the table, Bingyan came in with a stewed pot of lotus seeds, and walked straight past Xixiang, but she didn't even look at her. At this moment, Xi Xiang couldn't stay any longer, her eyes were a little red, she bit her lip, and ran out of the main hall without even looking back. Only then did Li Qingwan raise her eyelids, and stared at the direction Xixiang was going away viciously, but said to the screen behind her: "Okay, take her out." The incense in the hall lingers in a strange smoke.The pure white smoke dissipated the moment it drilled out of the hollowed-out copper incense cage, and the secluded smell gradually diffused, and the fragrance floated and was charming.

Lian Xin came out wearing a light pink palace dress with shoulders and waist, rose light-colored cloud brocade top, moon white satin pleated Ruyi moon skirt, the breast and skirt were embroidered with patches of peach blossoms, as she walked, Thick or light petals seem to be alive.She didn't wear a flag bun, her lacquer-like black hair was only tied into a braid, with white hibiscus petals slanted on her hair, her sandalwood lips were covered with vermilion, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were full of infinite meaning, deep and moving.The earrings are white and bright moon pendant, the lotus steps are lightly moved, and the pearls and jade on the wrist are swaying and shining.

"Well, do you still like this outfit?" The fragrant face is light and even, and the eyebrows are skillfully drawn and the palace makeup is light.Yun Bin squinted her eyes, as if she was dazzled by the beautiful appearance of the girl in front of her, and she couldn't see clearly.Just looking at the bright red dress on her body, in a trance, he couldn't help but think of his appearance when he entered the palace. "The flag dress you are wearing is exactly what I was wearing when I first entered the palace. The first time the emperor saw this palace, he said, 'Peach blossoms on a human face reflect red', and the peach blossoms refer to the pattern on this dress. Embroidery."

Lian Xin retracted her body in fear, and said in a soft voice, "My lord, forgive me, I don't know that the clothes are so precious, and I actually wear them on myself..." "You dress well, of course, as long as I am willing, I can give you everything in this palace. Tell me, if I treat you sincerely, will you listen to my words?" Li Qingwan unconsciously He leaned over, but he tightly grasped Lian Xin's wrist, and with all his strength, his sharp ten fingers dug into Lian Xin's flesh, but his vision was still blinded, as if he had fallen into a maze. Lian Xin felt the pain, but didn't dare to break free, "Niang Niang..."

Her voice pulled Li Qingwan out of the nightmare. Li Qingwan looked at her blankly. In an instant, she smiled and let her go, "I scared you." She Put away the dazed look, put your fingers together, but your face became pale, "The princess will come to the palace later, and I won't let you eat in the palace. After returning to Xinzheku, tidy up well, and then come on." Wu Yingyun punished Lian Xin to work in Xinzheku for two months, Li Qingwan knew about this.Now that the period has already expired, and Wu Yingyun is already a disused concubine, all the decrees made by Xianfu Palace before can be invalidated.

Lian Xin was startled, and raised her eyes with some complexity in her heart, "Your Majesty means..." "Girls who enter the palace to participate in the draft are all for the purpose of passing the selection and obtaining a rank in the palace. From then on, they can enjoy the respect and nobility that are enough to make women in the world look up to. You have been in the palace for so long, but you are still not even the emperor. Don’t you feel unwilling? Don’t you want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix? This palace will put everything in front of you now, just like how Concubine Yun supported Xu Jia Xixiang back then.”

"Your Majesty, servant girl..." Li Qingwan waved her hand to stop her words. The girl in front of her once helped Wu Yingyun frame her, and dragged her into the limbo, she knew all about it.However, she also knew that Wu Yingyun asked her to poison the little princess, but she did not do it.When it comes to seeing people, she still believes in her own eyes.This girl is not bad in appearance and aptitude. Compared with her, Xu Jia Xixiang is probably like nothing else.Since she has harmed herself, why not use it?If she is sent to Qianqing Palace, maybe she can be more favored than Xixiang, and maybe it can help him regain his status and majesty.

Thinking of this, Li Qingwan leaned closer to her, "Lian Xin, you should pay back what you owe me, right?" Lian Xin suddenly raised her eyes, but saw the woman shrouded in a halo in front of her, with meaningful smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows. "Your Majesty, you already know..." Before she finished speaking, Li Qingwan stretched out a finger, tapped on her lips, and said with a blurred smile, "If you feel ashamed of Ben Gong, you must do your best to help Ben Gong... Xu Jia Xixiang is younger than Ben Gong, and Ben Gong needs a fresher blood than her to regain vitality. Lian Xin, Ben Gong is more optimistic about you, and wants to rely on you more, so don't let Ben Gong down what……"

Walking out of Jingren Palace, it was already a quarter of a century.As soon as Lian Xin backed out, she saw a beautiful figure in bright yellow palace attire walking by, surrounded by groups of servants and nuns, like stars surrounding the moon, the grand occasion, she should be the Chunxi that Concubine Wan said big princess. Lian Xin walked back to Xin Zhe Ku, but all the words that echoed in her ears were Wanbi's words.The agreed period of two months has come, but the situation in the palace at this time is different. Concubine Yun was relegated to the North Fifth Institute, while concubine Wan was pardoned and returned to Jingren Palace.

"What, Concubine Wan wants you to stay in her palace?" Seeing Lian Xin coming back in a daze, Yu Shu thought that she was being bullied by the servants in the palace, so she dragged her into the house.When Lian Xin finished speaking, she was startled. "So, do you want to enter the harem like Xixiang did back then?" The good wind sent me to Qingyun by force.Xixiang's Yuyuelongmen is a good example.Relying on Concubine Yun's help to pass the reading, and then hang a green card in the respect room. Once the emperor clicks it, he will go to bed immediately. He became one of the empress concubines with the award rank.

"Miss Concubine Wan said, I am a beautiful girl under the Five Banners. Even if I go back to Zhongcui Palace, I will not be able to take a turn to read it. Concubine Yun is down, and I can't even realize my dream of going out of the palace. I don’t want to stay in the palace until the next draft, because if someone from my family enters the palace and asks for a transfer, I have to pass the review and re-selection.” "Then what do you think?" Yu Shu took Lian Xin's hand and asked in a low voice. Lian Xin lowered her head, bitterness welled up in her heart.If in normal times, Jin Feng was concubine Guangzong Yaozu, such a rare opportunity, surely even Ama would be promoted along with her, right?The mother-in-law and younger sister in the family will live a better life because of this. However, before entering the palace, if she hadn't spent that period of time in the palace, how would she know that there is still a kind of thoughtfulness and care that makes people feel sweet in the world.It was just getting along with each other from passion to etiquette, bit by bit, but it seemed to melt into strands of spring, and it had already touched all minds inadvertently, and couldn't let it go or forget it. On a moonlit night, in the Embroidery Hall; in the He Fu Building, his light smile; he led her around the streets and alleys of the capital... and the red beans that were delivered that day.These past events, which should have been forgotten long ago, have never been mentioned since the day she went to Shoukang Palace, and she has never deliberately thought about them.However, in the dead of night, it will always appear in my mind, and I can't linger no matter what. "This opportunity is extremely rare for every woman entering the palace for draft. I know, but I don't want to, I really don't want to..." Lian Xin's voice was a little hoarse, her eyes were red, and she buried her cheeks in her knees. Yushu supported her shoulder distressedly, "You have such thoughts because of the prince, right?" "Do you know? If I really enter Jingren Palace, if I win the rank, I will really have no chance again..." Tears welled up in her eyes, Lian Xin bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from sobbing. She remembered how the handsome and gentle man gently held her hand and pressed a kiss on the back of her hand; she remembered how his eyes would become very bright when he talked to her; When facing her, he will only faintly reveal pampering and tenderness. Ever since she met outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she knew that he had frequently entered the palace to look for her.Because every time Concubine Qin would take her away in advance to prevent him from seeing her, then maybe he also knew that someone was blocking her, and finally stayed in the mansion on purpose one night, and let his trusted people enter the palace to find her. she. The moment Yuan Shou saw her, he immediately shed tears, "Miss Lian Xin, I have had a hard time looking for you." She turned her back and refused to look at him. "Miss Lianxin, master really has a hard time." She covered her ears again, she was so tired that she didn't want to hear any more, but Yuanshou knelt down in front of her, crying every word, "You know what? The reason why the master married Miss Jiajia was not only to save Lord Shangshu, but also to protect you... After the empress dowager found out that you were punished and entered the treasury of Xin Zhe, she always refused to allow the master to associate with you. Later, she found out that Miss Lianxin His appearance is very similar to the eight blessings that the emperor once admired, and she is determined to stop it. The empress dowager said, if the master does not marry Miss Jiajia as the first Fujin, she will keep you in the palace for the rest of her life." She was frozen in place, unable to move. "The servant also came from the palace, and I know that the empress dowager will do what she says. The master was afraid that you would be hurt, so he made an agreement with the empress dowager to reserve a place for you as a side Fujin on the condition that she marry Miss Jiajia. On the day of the master's wedding, the master got drunk and was helped into the room by the slave, and kept calling the lady's name. The slave has been with the master since he was a child, and has never seen him like this. Miss Lianxin, the master really likes it You, he has difficulties." Beating every word in her heart, she bit her lip and clenched her hands tightly. Lian Xin—she still remembers him whispering lonely behind her—I have my reasons. ... God really made a big joke, allowing two people who were obviously impossible to meet together.If Concubine Qin really allowed herself to be his side Fujin, why did she have to forcefully stop her again and again, not even allowing her to meet? "I stood in the corridor that day and saw him looking anxiously from a distance. I knew he was looking for me. I really wanted to rush out to find him, but I couldn't. Because the empress dowager said that the officials of the official department Not far away, if he is caught fornicating a beautiful girl, his future will be ruined." Lian Xin's voice became erratic, as if it would be blown away by the wind.She looked at the flower stand in the yard, her eyes were dim and quiet, "You know what, I understand that some things are doomed to be impossible, but I can't bear him..." Yu Shu's tears fell, wiped his eyes, and hugged her into his arms with sobs, "Maybe things will turn around, maybe if the prince asks, Princess Qin will let go of her mouth?" Lian Xin caressed her hand, the smile on her lips was as light and faint as the clouds in the sky, "It's useless, because of the eight blessings, the concubine believes that I will bring disaster and disaster to the prince. And Jiajia The young lady is already a Fujin, so how can the empress dowager let someone destroy the in-laws that were established with great difficulty?" Maybe it’s better if you’ve never met before, so you don’t have to worry about it; if you’re not familiar with it, you won’t be so upside down.It turns out that everything will be over so soon, and there is nothing more to do with it. On the twelfth of October, the birthday of Concubine Qin was approaching, and the palace began to be nervous and busy with preparations.There is no queen dowager in the palace, and Concubine Qin has always been respected like a queen dowager, and she is regarded as the head of the palace.Concubine Qin has always been a frugal person, but she doesn't care much about what to do, but the Qianqing Palace made a special order earlier, and specially allocated money from the household department, ordering to handle it in a grand manner. There are not many concubines in the palace. There is a queen in Chuxiu Palace, and there are no concubines, and then there are concubines.There were originally two other concubines, but since Concubine Yun was thrown into the cold palace, there was only one concubine Wan left.Further down are Mr. An and a newly-appointed Mr. Qiangui.There are five people each in Changzai and Xuying, but they are all idle in the hall and are not invited, so it can be said that they are not deserted.If there were thousands of beauties and hundreds of flowers blooming like the previous dynasty, every time the birthday of the empress dowager or the emperor, the birthday gifts presented by the various palaces would make people dazzled.And every birthday banquet has become an arena for the concubines to show themselves. Which one is novel and unique, and which one stands out will always become a topic of discussion in the palace for a period of time.On the contrary, the harem of this dynasty has fewer people, so it is even more difficult to stand out and be different. At this moment, there are all kinds of small ornaments on the huanghuali table, such as the engraved jasper dragon and phoenix "Fuxing Gaozhao" sign, the jadeite biscuit with hundreds of characters, the white set of glass snuff bottles with miscellaneous treasure patterns, and the hookah with enamel flowers and miscellaneous patterns. , rhinoceros horn engraved flower and wooden figure cup, red and white agate bat peach tree flower vase... each piece is priceless. It is luxurious and expensive, but the utensils that are tributed outside the palace every year are many times more precious than these.The emperor is very filial, and he never forgets to send some new items to Shoukang Palace. In comparison, it would seem petty to send these. Standing in front of the case, Bingyan carefully looked at it, picked and picked, picked out a golden "Daji" gourd-style hanging screen, and handed it to Li Qingwan who was sitting on the open chair beside her. Li Qingwan shook her head, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Are all the gifts prepared for Concubine Qin this year?" Bingyan nodded, "It's all here. And the servants have also gone to various palaces to see, and the objects prepared seem to be antique calligraphy and paintings besides gold and silver utensils. On the side of Chuxiu Palace, the Empress Empress embroidered a pair of 'double deer' with her own hands." It took two full months for the double-sided Hunan embroidery of He Shou', and it should be embroidered soon and ready to be framed." Li Qingwan fiddled with the hanging screen in her hand. It was golden, light and thin, but it was hollowed out with nine hundred and ninety-nine characters of "Auspicious". It was really ingenious and exquisite.It's a pity that compared with the embroidery made by the queen, it seems insincere. The queen empress is also a solid-minded person, she never knows what she has done, she never hides it, unlike those in the palace, where gold, silver and jewels are displayed on the surface, but other things are given out. "I heard that the emperor went to Shoukang Palace yesterday?" Bingyan nodded and said: "The Emperor came back from the Rehe Palace and brought many special products, and the Mongolian envoys also paid tribute to the leg of lamb and tsampa, and the Emperor sent them to the concubine." Li Qingwan leaned on her arms and looked at the ground thoughtfully.The birthday banquet is coming soon, the emperor must really want to make Concubine Qin happy, if he can make Concubine Qin happy at this moment, it will be tantamount to pleasing the emperor at the same time, it will kill two birds with one stone. At this time, Lian Xin came in with the embroidery she had just finished. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she saw all kinds of decorations on the table. "Your Majesty, it's all embroidered, just take a look." Seeing her salute to him, Li Qingwan suddenly felt a little powerless.She is clearly a good show girl, even if she can't be selected as a concubine, if she is betrothed to Prince Baylor, she will be noble and elegant.He let her come into the palace because he obviously wanted to give her a chance to pass the inspection and then recommend it to the emperor, but she insisted on staying as a slave.At first, I also thought that she was making progress by retreating, but after trying a few times, she just didn't have that kind of thought, which was really frustrating. "Sure enough, it's very delicate. Not to mention the other palace members, even Guangchusi, I'm afraid they will feel ashamed." Li Qingwan picked up one of the pieces and looked at it carefully, and she couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. If it wasn't for the Empress Empress's double-faced Xiangxi embroidery pearls and jades in front of her, she might as well let her embroider one, but I regret that I couldn't think of that idea long ago. Lian Xin retracted her body humbly, "Your Majesty is absurd." Li Qingwan sighed, "Originally, we should be called sisters. If you insist on respecting your mother, I can't help you. Now there is something difficult, and you just came here to help out with ideas." She After finishing speaking, he gestured to the congratulatory gifts on the table with his eyes, "They are all for the concubine's birthday, but no matter how I look at it, I don't think any of them can be given away, so you can pick one too." Lian Xin turned around and saw Bing Yan holding the book worryingly, "In terms of status and status, the empress dowager is undoubtedly the most honorable and richest woman in the whole world. If you want to prepare a satisfactory gift for her, it is not It's very easy. Little Master Lianxin, this slave and maid have almost lost their minds, and they didn't come up with a good idea for the empress." Li Qingwan loves Lian Xin very much. As a servant and servant, Bing Yan was slightly hostile towards her at first, but after getting along for a few days, Lian Xin is kind and generous, and her temperament is not unpleasant, so she is easy to get along with. Lian Xin pursed her lips and thought for a while, "I don't know how much time is left?" "There are about ten days left. The birthday banquet was originally scheduled to be held on October 22, but it was later changed to the 28th. There is very little time left, and we have to make preparations early." "Your Majesty... the power of a servant alone may be too much to bear, can you..." Lian Xin lowered her head, hesitant to speak. Li Qingwan glanced at her, and said in a neutral manner: "I know what you want to say, Geng Jia Yushu, right?" Ever since Lian Xin entered Jingren Palace, she has been thinking about getting Yu Shu out of Xin Zhe's library.The distance between Xiliugong and Xinzheku is not too close, and every time they come and go, they always run profusely, and I really don't know what the idea is. "You yourself are willing to come in as a slave, but others may not be willing." Li Qingwan raised her hand at this moment, preventing Lian Xin from speaking, "Even if you can't come up with a good idea, I won't let her come into the palace. Don't say that there is a little princess in this palace, people around you should be cautious, even if she has no evil intentions, this palace doesn't like her." The thought of Lian Xin's request was choked back again. Li Qingwan looked at her disappointed expression, and sighed again, "Well, if your method is good this time and can make Concubine Qin happy, I will go tell the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to let her return Bell Palace." Lian Xin showed a gleam of joy, and hurriedly bowed her body, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness." Because the embroidery was very well sewn, Bingyan took it and asked the mother to match it on the picture book of the palace dress, and then put it on the little princess.It is embroidered with the pattern of a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, paired with small flag shoes and small flag heads, it is worthy of standing there, and it is already dazzling and lovely at a young age. There was nothing to do at noon, so Lian Xin sorted the remaining silk tapes and embroidery threads into the basket, and put them all on the lattice shelf.She lives in the Xibei Hall of Jingren Palace, and has servants and maids who are dedicated to serving her. Except that she does not receive monthly regulations, the regulations are treated according to concubines, and there is no difference.Li Qingwan was willing to treat her with such sympathy, and didn't care much about her stubborn thoughts, Lian Xin was grateful from the heart. In the blue sky, there is a thin cloud floating.Step out of the threshold, walk along the vermilion palace wall, bypass Yuqing Palace, Fengxian Hall and Huangji Hall, and pass through Xiqing Gate, which is Nansan. The big archway in Xinzheku can be reached in the time for a cup of tea, but if you step on the flag shoes at the bottom of the flower pot, you have to walk for half an hour. The palace people saw her from a distance, and hurried away without even saying hello, as if avoiding her in fear.Lian Xin couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and walking further inside, she could hear the sound of the wooden pestle beating the cloth.The North Hut in Xiyuan happened to be the place where she and Yushu used to live together. When she stepped into the courtyard door with a food box on her shoulders, she saw a thin figure struggling to chop wood with an axe. "Yu Shu..." Before she even had time to put down the food box, Lian Xin ran over in two or three steps, just because she saw tears on her face.When he got closer, he found that the hand holding the hatchet was red and swollen, the nails were worn off, and the back of the hand was covered with blisters. "It's all like this, why are you still helping with the work?" Lian Xin was angry and anxious, carefully took the ax out of her hand, and looked carefully, and found that there were cracks all over her swollen hand.She had been here three days ago, and she was fine. How did it become like this in just a short time? Yu Shu didn't expect her to come, so he quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and put his hands behind his back, "It's only noon, why are you here?" "Could it be that if I hadn't bumped into her, you weren't going to tell me?" Lian Xin looked at her slightly reproachfully, but her eyes were red. Yu Shu lowered his head, feeling grievance welling up in his heart, and shook his head bitterly. "Miss Lianxin is here. Ever since you came to the place of concubine Wan in Jingren Palace, Yushu has suffered a lot." "That's right, that noble man would come here every now and then. He ordered to do that, ordered to do this, and deliberately overturned the washed hanging satin on the ground, or poured water from the bucket on Yushu..." The palace servants who were washing and hanging satin next to them heard them talking, and couldn't help but speak out one after another. It turned out that it wasn't helping, it was simply a job assigned to her... Lian Xin saw the pile of firewood piled up like a hill in the corner, waiting to be chopped and stacked, her nose felt sore, "Why didn't you tell me?" "It turned out that the noble man is sick himself!" Yu Shu pulled his lips, forced a smile in relief, "Miss Wanbi took you into Jingren Palace, she couldn't see her eyes and couldn't be jealous, so she had to Use these methods that can't be put on the table to vent your anger on me. I don't have the same knowledge as her, so don't take it to heart. " How can you not take it to heart?Lian Xin bit her lip and shook her head bitterly. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, but it was Xu Jia Xixiang who came with three servants.Each servant girl held a thick satin, snow-white material, something was stuck on it, one piece was black and the other was blue. "Hey, who am I to know? It turns out that the climber came back to visit the sisters." Xi Xiang didn't expect to meet Lian Xin, her face froze, and then she showed a noble enough smile, "Why, Jingren Palace The scenery is not good, do you still want to take a walk in Xinzheku?" Seeing this, the maidservants in the courtyard leaned towards her one after another, "Auspicious, humble man." Lian Xin and Yu Shu also bowed to her, Xi Xiang walked over leisurely with small steps, looked Lian Xin up and down, and said, "It's really different, I want to come to Sister Wan's place, the water is more nourishing, let a little The little show girls have icy muscles and bones, and they look brand new! I almost don’t know each other.” After she finished speaking, she glanced behind her, “What are you still doing, don’t bring the satin material to die? what?" The soiled satins were naturally prepared for Yu Shu. Lian Xin saw that Yu Shu's hands were swollen like that, and they were still wet, so she couldn't help but said, "Ma'am, Yu Shu's hand is injured, can you temporarily put it on?" Give these materials to other servants..." "Is it the will of the palace, do you still need you, a little girl, to be the beak?" Xi Xiang shouted sharply, and turned to look at her. Yushu tugged on Lianxin's sleeve, telling her not to argue with Xixiang.Lian Xin supported her arm, but leaned back humblely, "Your Majesty, calm down, I dare not die. It's just that Yushu's hands are soaked, and they will fester after being soaked in water. If you accidentally wash the cloth, Put pus on it, but it will be contagious..." Lian Xin's words made Xi Xiang tremble, feeling disgusted.But she paused, but smiled, "Do you think that a small trick can make her escape these tasks? This palace will not let you do what you want! Come on, send the satin material to her, within two days It must be washed thoroughly, and there should be no stains on it. After two days, I will come to inspect and accept it. If I am not satisfied with the washing, I will wait to be punished!" It is a miracle that the piles of satin can be washed completely, and it will return to a snow-white color... The palace maids all showed sympathy when they heard this. After Xixiang finished speaking, she flung the brocade handkerchief and left arrogantly.It's not good to be close to anyone, but that concubine Wan, and her cousin.Did she treat them both badly?Now, instead, he is scrambling inside and outside, fighting against her. "My lady, please stay!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind. Xi Xiang paused and looked back.The sunlight sifting through the treetops cast a blurred halo on the girl's whole body, her thin figure standing upright, but it was difficult to hide her elegance and beauty. In terms of appearance, Xixiang has never felt that anyone is better than him, even Niu Hulu Jiajia who is equally noble.However, at this moment, perhaps due to the refraction of light from the sparse shadows, in the faint light and shadow, the girl's eyes are as clear as a secluded spring, passing through countless floating lights, as if they can mesmerize one's soul. Xi Xiang shook her head, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and said with a snort, "Why, do you want to stand out?" After she finished speaking, she walked over lightly, with her chin slightly raised, her eyes and brows were all arrogant Look, "If you want to meddle in other people's business, you have to find out your identity first. You are not a concubine yet, and you can talk to Bengong after you sleep on the bed in Qianqing Palace with Wanbi's thigh in your arms." Xi Xiang's words were harsh and ugly.Yu Shu blushed, couldn't help it anymore, rushed up to argue with her, but was grabbed by Lian Xin.Yu Shu looked back at her, but saw that her face was calm and warm, and she didn't seem angry.In a daze, I saw her stepping forward to block in front of him. "Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten something." Lian Xin raised her eyes, with a look of deep meaning on her face. Xi Xiang was startled for a moment, but she looked at her with a sneer, "What are you trying to make up, what did I forget?" Lian Xin maintained her tone, her lips parted slightly, and she faintly uttered four words, "Yellow Flower Rhododendron." It's just that the name of the flower is taboo, but one month ago, I don't know what kind of waves it caused in the palace.Xi Xiang's face immediately changed, she looked around subconsciously, and saw that except Yu Shu, everyone else lowered their heads, and then she felt relieved, but she stared at Lian Xin with a gloomy gaze, "You have to be careful what you say. " Others may not know about the whole matter of Xianfu Palace, but Lian Xin knows it all.As long as this news leaks out, according to Concubine Qin's personality, it may not be as simple as releasing Concubine Yun from the Fifth Bei. Lian Xin lowered her voice, and the humble appearance of her hands and body was begging and praying, and she said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as your Majesty is merciful and lets Yu Shu go, I won't let you go." If you trouble her, the servants will naturally keep their mouths shut and keep this secret in the coffin." "You have to do what you say." After Xi Xiang finished speaking, he turned around bitterly, waved his hand to the servant beside him, "Take all these satin materials away, and don't give any work to me in the future." Give it to her. If Bengong finds out that her hands are infected by any working things, she will not be lightly forgiven!" She was yelling at the courtyard, and Panchun, who was supervising the maidservant brewing sauce and vinegar, naturally Listen to it. Lian Xin and Yu Shu both came over and leaned towards her, "I will thank you, my maidservant, for your kindness." In a blink of an eye, the day of the birthday banquet is approaching, and all the halls are preparing birthday gifts, but they are hiding the news and will not disclose it to others. On this day, Concubine Qin was chanting scriptures in the Great Buddha Hall, accompanied by Queen Ulanara Zhenrou.The queen's health is not good, and she has always lived in secluded places. As the birthday of Concubine Qin is approaching, she specially came to the Great Buddha Hall to copy scriptures for three days.After she finished copying, the sound of wooden fishes in the hall stopped, and after a while, a serving nun walked out with the help of Concubine Qin. "Emperor Niang extended the time for half a stick of incense today, do you have any experience?" As the name suggests, Empress Ulanara is a quiet and elegant woman, not very beautiful, but she has a family background and background that are enough to match.There are very few concubines in the palace, and a few concubines do most of the affairs of the palace, so she doesn't often take care of the affairs of the palace, and only shows up in a stone blue phoenix court robe on many occasions such as sacrifices and New Year's Eve By the emperor's side.For the rest of the time, he was either resting in the Chuxiu Palace or coming to the Great Buddha Hall to copy scriptures. Concubine Qin looked at her, with a kind smile on her face, "It's cool at the door, go to Ai's house and sit down." Ulanara Zhenrou pursed her lips gently, "Emperor Niang, Zhen'er is not so delicate. Zhen'er is a little tired looking at Empress Niang, why don't we go outside for a walk, today is warm and windy, and the weather is quite good I think it’s rare to see such a scene after October.” Concubine Qin nodded, and was supported by the nanny to cross the threshold of the hall, accompanied by Ulanara Zhenrou.A group of people walked slowly along the apse of the Great Buddha Hall to Xisan, passed through the Chunhua Gate, and the Yuhua Pavilion with red lacquered buildings was in front of them. This is the largest of the dozens of Buddhist halls in the palace, with open doors in the south, roll shed roofs in the north and south, and Xieshan roofs in the east and west.The roof is covered with green glazed tiles, the ridge and edge of the roof are made of yellow glaze, the eaves are decorated with white maquzi and animal-faced beam heads, and the ceiling inside the house is decorated with six-character mantras and patterns of ritual utensils.The Manchus believed in Shamanism, accepted the culture of the Han Dynasty after entering the customs, and at the same time introduced Buddhism into Miyagi, and this place has a unique strong Tibetan style. The incense of the Buddha was dense, and charcoal was burning inside the big copper tripod with the lotus pattern and the word "Fu".Smelling the unique smell of incense sticks, the smoke curled up and diffused, but someone was burning incense in the temple and praying for blessings. "The thread in the loving mother's hand, and the clothes on the wanderer's body. Before leaving, the seams are densely packed, and the intention may be delayed. Whoever says an inch of grass will repay three springs." A child's voice came from inside the hall, sweet and milky. Every word and every sentence couldn't help moving Taifei Qin's heart.Walking to the gate of the hall, I saw Li Qingwan supporting the little princess. The mother and daughter were kneeling on the velvet cushion with a bright golden heart, clasped their hands together, and prayed sincerely to the compassionate and wise face of the Buddha. "Looking up at the god statue has a spirit, and pity my loyal heart. First, I pray for the longevity of the Qing Dynasty; second, I pray that the emperor's career will be beautiful; third, I pray that the emperor's mother will be healthy and live forever." From the outside, I only saw my mother. The back view of the two women. In the mist of light smoke, this moment actually crossed the fleeting years, and returned to that sunny afternoon more than 30 years ago. The woman in Huaxin's year brought her two sons and knelt in front of the Buddhist hall of Yuhua Pavilion like this, with her heart in her arms. With true feelings, chant scriptures and pray for that superior man. "Okay, now Xiao Huining is going to light three sticks of incense sticks, so that the Buddha can receive our wishes." Li Qingwan helped her daughter to stand up, while still kneeling, she instructed her how to light and burn incense. How to worship and insert.The little girl stood on tiptoe, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and then returned to Er Niang, snuggling in her arms coquettishly.
