"Girl, in competitions, the important thing is to participate and do your best. You don't have to worry about victory or defeat. Book fans also like to read: Our Ciren Palace, we participate in it year after year and fail every year, so don't we live a happy life! "
On the morning of Laba, the Queen Mother drank the new Laba porridge that Jinxi had cooked early in the morning, and comforted Jinxi with a smile.
Yesterday she prepared two kinds of Laba porridge ingredients, one salty and one sweet. The Queen Mother was used to sweet Laba porridge. When she tasted the salty Laba porridge, she thought it tasted so good that she drank two bowls in a row. Sharing the truth, he ordered the maid to immediately send a copy to Qianqing Palace.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jin Xi has never seen this dragon embroidery competition before. According to the sisters, the scene is spectacular. This time, Jin Xi just needs to practice her courage. Maybe next time she participates, she will be able to help the Queen Mother calmly." I came back with a big prize."
"Haha, your girl's argument is quite true. OK, later, the Ai family will also go to watch your game and cheer you on."
"Thank you, the Queen Mother, for your compliments. Other book friends can read normally:. However, I heard from Sister Zixia that the competition will start from three quarters of the morning to the afternoon of the afternoon, which will take several hours. If the Queen Mother is happy, she only needs to play in Jinxi That's all it takes to show your face at that time. Jin Xi doesn't want to have her heart tied to the Queen Mother while she's doing the embroidery, only to get the final prize back. Hehe..."
I heard that the dragon embroidery competition was held in a semi-open banquet hall near the Imperial Garden, so it was impossible to build a charcoal basin. Besides, the participants in the competition were all palace maids or the daughters of courtiers like her, and the service facilities were not good. Maybe it covers everything. Jinxi was worried that the Queen Mother had been out for too long and would be cold or tired, so she would be guilty of a big crime.
"Haha... Look, this girl, even if she is persuading the Ai family to have a good rest, she still has to change her approach. She talks high and low..." How could the Queen Mother not understand the meaning of Jin Xi's words, and then she went to the court The maids who were close to him said with a smile. Ziyuan and Zixia could not help but cover their mouths and snicker.
"Okay, don't look at Aijia with such an expression. Aijia promises you that the sun is nice today, so just take a walk around. If you feel tired, come back and rest immediately. You, just dress up, Shichen We’re almost here, Zixia. You can lead Gege there first.”
Zixia Fushen accepted the order, and Jinxi also followed the instructions and went to the side hall where she lived. After drinking her own portion of salty Laba porridge, she started to pack the sewing kit for the competition.
"Jin Xi - Jin Xi -" Ninth Prince Yinzhen trotted all the way into the main hall of the side hall, "Hurry up, you will be late if you are late." After that, he pulled Jin Xi and ran out.
"Alas! Brother Jiu - you...where are you taking Jinxi? Sister Zixia will take me to the arena later..." Wow! A boy who is two years younger than her is so strong. It was so big. It took a lot of effort for her to break away. By this time, the two of them had almost run out of Ciren Palace.
"You! What do you mean? I want to take you to a secret base, why don't I give you a peace charm?" Yinzhen glared at Jinxi fiercely. After calming down his heavy breathing, he saw no one around. The man took out a small red pouch embroidered with gold threads from his sleeve pocket and forced it into Jinxi's hand, "It's best to keep it close to your body. I asked for it from Futa Temple... ahem... listen... Mom said, this can keep people safe and help people realize their dreams."
"Brother Ninth?..." Jinxi raised her eyes to look at Yinzhen. Then she looked down at the sachet lying in the palm of her hand. She felt something was wrong. But she couldn't let her think too much, because Zixia's call came from behind. came, "Gege, Gege... you forgot your sewing kit, wait a minute, slave..."
"I'm leaving now. Let's have a good fight later and don't embarrass the Queen Mother, you know?" Yinzhen took a step back, waved to Jinxi, and ran away with a grin.
Jinxi was left frowning and staring at the safe sachet for a moment. Seeing that she still couldn't figure out her weird thoughts, she had to put the sachet into her arms first, turned around and faced Zi Zi who was running towards him with a smile.
Xia, "Sister Zixia, take your time, don't be in a hurry."
After the two of them walked out of Ciren Palace talking and laughing, they walked slowly towards the Royal Garden. Yinzhen stood behind a huge ancient locust tree outside the gate of Ciren Palace, frowning and thinking: It turns out that Yinzhen is right
Jin Xi also had other thoughts. With his temperament as a little demon king, how could he suddenly change his attitude towards Jin Xi? The Queen Mother and the others thought that Jin Xi had bribed several of their little ones with snacks, but little did they know that it turned out to be
Yinzhen, he...
What a little misfortune! The thought that that girl is not yet ten years old attracts both himself and Yinzhen. If she waits until she reaches thirteen years old to talk about marriage, who knows what rivals will appear to compete with him?
Thinking of this, Yinzhen shook his head with a wry smile, walked slowly into Ciren Palace, and headed towards the main hall where the Queen Mother lived. No matter what, he wanted to "strike first to gain the upper hand"!
………………
"This dragon embroidery competition has been judged fairly by the masters of each palace, and the top ten embroiderers have been selected. The list is as follows: first place, Huo Sanniang of the Textile Palace; second place, Ulanara. Jinxi of Ciren Palace
, third place..."
"I didn't expect that Huo Sanniang is so powerful, and she still dominates the top..." Concubine Yi turned sideways, laughed with Concubine De who was sitting next to her, and said, "Sister, I heard from Zhu'er that General Fei Yanggu's family is a great embroiderer.
It's really impressive. I didn't expect that compared with Huo Sanniang, she is still a little weaker."
"Huo Sanniang is the most outstanding embroiderer in the history of the Huo family. She began to study embroidery skills at the age of five and has always worked tirelessly. She has been embroidering for more than 20 years. How could she be defeated by an unknown person?
"Little baby, other book friends can read it normally:" Concubine De's expression was very disdainful when she retorted.
Although, in the first few days after Jinxi entered Ciren Palace, she was led by Ziyuan, the eldest maid next to the Queen Mother, to meet the concubines in each palace. All the concubines in the harem, including De Fei, also tasted it one after another.
The new snacks made by Jin Xi include the rouge flower ointment and simple incense developed by Jin Xi. But ever since she heard that Zhen'er was very close to the girl, De Fei had no reason to feel sorry for Jin Xi.
The impression automatically and spontaneously decreased by a few points.
Although she gave birth to Little Fourteen, her inner desire for her eldest son Yinzhen did not change due to the birth of Little Fourteen.
I thought that after Queen Tong passed away, Yinzhen would be closer to her. However, in fact, the mother-son relationship between her and Yinzhen did not improve because of this incident. Especially when she had Xiaosi, Yinzhen
He often ran out of the palace, and the relationship between the two became more and more alienated.
She knew that it would be unfair to that girl to pin unfounded charges on Jinxi, but she just couldn't control her emotions.
She is Yinzhen's mother, and she is the one who is qualified to see her son's smiles and smiles. She is not an unrelated bystander, and she is still a little girl under ten years old. This knowledge makes her jealous.
"My younger sister and Jinxi's girl's mother-in-law are close friends when they were in the boudoir. Now that my friend's daughter has entered the palace, my younger sister has to take care of her." Concubine Yi said something pointedly, and then turned to the big girl behind her.
The palace maid Tong Yao ordered: "I will go to the warehouse later to pick out some jewelry suitable for Xi Gege's belt and send it to Ciren Palace. I will say that I congratulate Xi Gege on her good ranking."
Tong Yao smiled and responded: "Yes. I'll do it when I get back."
As the eldest maid next to Concubine Yi, she knew how caring and considerate her master was to Jin Xi Gege in Ciren Palace. Even the ninth elder brother, who was always naughty and mischievous, also took great care of Jin Xi Gege.
He asked the people below him again and again to be respectful and respectful to Jinxi.
Naturally, Concubine De didn't know the attitude of Concubine Yi and her son towards Jinxi. She also said that she was showing off in front of her. She also imitated Concubine Yi's tone and ordered Xiangqin behind her: "Since my sister is so generous, do this
Sister, you can’t fall behind others, right? Xiangqin, in a moment, I will give my favorite Dragon and Phoenix Playing Pearl bracelet to Jin Xi Gege of Ciren Palace, and other book friends will read it normally:.”
Once a woman's heart is filled with jealousy, it is difficult to regain her clear mind.
"Yes." Xiangqin reluctantly agreed. I hope my master will not regret it when he looks back. After all, the white jade bracelet with the dragon and phoenix playing with beads was the empress' dowry. Although the jade quality is not the most precious.
, but the carving is so good that even the emperor praised it more than once.
"Dragon and Phoenix Playing with Pearls Bracelet? Isn't it the white jade bracelet that my sister was talking about that caught the emperor's eye? Isn't that my sister's dowry? Are you really willing to give it to that little girl? According to my sister, I'd rather choose some small items that are not very expensive.
Just express your feelings. That girl has the same temperament as her mother and doesn't like to be treated well."
"Sister, what are you talking about? No matter how precious it is, it's just an ordinary white jade bracelet, not even as good as the small item on my sister's hand." Concubine De pretended to be generous and answered the words. The more Concubine Yi tried to persuade her not to give it away, the more she became worried.
It was just a white jade bracelet with exquisite carvings. If she really took back her words and refused to give it away, then the news would spread throughout the harem, and the one who ranked the least valuable would be her, the concubine.
Concubine Yi suppressed the narrow smile in her eyes and praised in a pretense of emotion: "Sister can like that girl Jinxi so much. I'm really happy for her. If you have a chance, let that girl also pack some things for us to take a bath.
There is enough spice. It is said that the Queen Mother has a little girl who is taking care of her wholeheartedly, and her body and bones have improved a lot. In the past years, the leg pain that had occurred during winter has been relieved a lot even by Dr. Liu."
"That's true. I have also heard that the Queen Mother's insomnia has been cured. I didn't expect that foot soaking and bubble bath can cure the disease. Imperial doctors like Dr. Liu will be idle and moldy."
Although he was very interested, his words were full of irony.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Some diseases can be cured through physical therapy, while others require a doctor to prescribe the right medicine. By saying this, isn't it a disguised mockery of my sister's lack of knowledge and skills?" After more than ten years in the palace, Concubine Yi is still the same as Yu Min.
He looks like a very good talker, and his words are full of irritation. Of course, his expression when speaking is still noble and elegant. From a distance, it seems that the two of them are laughing and chatting about something.
Here’s an interesting thing. Only the eldest lady standing behind the two of them knew that beneath their harmonious appearance, there was a tense relationship between them. (To be continued)
