It's late spring, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and it's gradually taking on a summery feel.
The palace built a high platform in front of the water pavilion, facing the carved pavilion, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Everyone can see the actors on the high platform clearly and have a panoramic view.
The water pavilion is surrounded by lotus plants, which are in bud and are full of greenery.
Princess Cheng said that the prince liked the aloofness and deserted look of the lotus. It stood tall and graceful in the water, and had a unique charm that was worth admiring.
The servants had prepared rich tea and snacks early, and Princess Cheng sat in the pavilion with Xiao and the Imperial Concubine and others, chatting among the elders and others, and it was all gossip among women.
"Why don't you see Concubine De?" It took Princess Cheng a while to realize that Concubine De was not among the concubines.
"The empress is ill and is resting in the Dexiang Palace. She did not follow us out." Concubine Ni said calmly. Of course it was hard for her to say. Concubine De was banned from the emperor and could not step out of the Dexiang Palace for a month.
.
"I heard that the Queen Mother's funeral is scheduled for three days from now?"
"Yes." Concubine Ni nodded calmly and said nothing more.
Princess Cheng laughed and diverted her words elsewhere.
To be honest, little sister Qin'er really has no interest in listening to operas.
Those people were chattering up there for a long time, but she didn't understand a word they said! Seeing that the other nobles and concubines seemed to be listening with great interest, she didn't want to show her ignorance too much. Ahem, she was stunned.
Listen with all your heart.
Half an hour later, she sleepily gave up...
He yanked Su Bichun's hand beside him.
Aunt Su was holding back her laughter. She realized early in the morning that the little imperial concubine had no desire to listen to the show at all, so she helped her get up.
As soon as she moved, others got up too.
"You guys sit down, I'll walk around and get some fresh air." After sitting for too long, I felt uncomfortable all over.
"Yes, your Majesty is pregnant. She needs to get up and walk around after sitting for a long time. Please accompany your Majesty for a walk."
"Well, that's not necessary. As Aunt Su is with me, I can take a walk around the palace and be back in a moment. Princess, there is no need to accompany her. Let's talk to Sister Ni and Concubine Hua."
"Sister, I will accompany the imperial concubine around, please don't worry, sister." Miss Lu Er suddenly stood up and said.
Princess Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, sister, you must follow the imperial concubine carefully and don't make any mistakes."
"It's sister."
In fact, Qin'er didn't need anyone to accompany her at all, but since her master had spoken, she couldn't refuse too much, lest others say she was aloof and difficult to get along with.
Miss Lu Er is dressed in light purple today. She still has the same good appearance. She is dressed like a girl. Her black hair is neatly styled and clean. The extremely simple wooden hairpin is still in her hair. She is noble and noble.
He has a compelling aura of his own.
This woman is very good at dressing up, and she is willing to embellish her good looks so that she can appear in front of everyone in the simplest and most perfect way. Her thoughtfulness is really valuable.
Unlike Qin'er, she has never cared about these things. She is too lazy to spend this time, and no one expects this little lazy fool to have the leisure time to think about pleasing men. She has that time in the United States and has gone out to play like crazy.
.
"I didn't expect you to be the imperial concubine's sister. We met in a restaurant that day. Qianqian is really blind, and I hope the imperial concubine's sister can forgive me." Miss Lu Qianqian spoke softly, her voice pinched in her throat, hazy.
It's so soft and greasy, if you don't listen carefully, you really can't hear it clearly.
Little sister Qin'er is used to being straightforward, but she's really not used to talking to people like this. If you want her to be like her, be polite, hold her voice in your throat, not half too high, not half too low, just the right amount of coquettish, she is special
It’s really... very difficult to do!
I am afraid that without the skill accumulated over the years, it is not enough to achieve this level of proficiency.
In fact, Qin'er doesn't need to deliberately pretend. She is blessed with a good voice. The most delicate and beautiful voice in the world is this. Every time she is happy, every time she is angry, every time she smiles, she is always so attractive.
"He who doesn't know is not guilty, Miss Lu, there is no need to apologize." Qin'er spoke calmly, but she didn't understand why Lu Qianqian called her sister.
She felt creepy when she heard someone call her sister.
She is obviously not yet sixteen, a bit smaller than them all, and she still speaks like a sister, which sounds unclear to her.
Does this Miss Lu really love the emperor?
Otherwise, why would she keep calling her sister so sweetly?
When she heard someone call her sister, she wanted to get angry! She felt more and more disgusted with this Miss Lu Er, and intuitively felt that this woman was not simple, so it was better to be careful in everything.
After thinking about it like this, the expression on Qin'er's face became lighter, and her attitude towards Miss Lu became more alienated.
Lu Qianqian was as attentive as dust, and soon realized that the imperial concubine didn't seem to like him very much. He walked quietly along with her along the huge lotus pond for a while, knowingly and making no sound.
In fact, she had doubts in her heart. She wanted to ask her several times whether the person she met with the imperial concubine in the restaurant that day was the emperor. Seeing that her expression was soft and unwilling to speak, she swallowed the words back several times.
Most of the time I have the answer in my heart, and my thoughts begin to fade away.
It turns out that this handsome and immortal man, who is astonishing to the heavenly being, is actually the current emperor.
Then the emperor must have heard about her great kindness. I wonder what the emperor thinks of her? Does he think she is special? Does he have a good impression of her in his heart?
That day, I saw that he behaved gently and openly, and loved the imperial concubine very much. Will he treat her like this in the future?
If it could be half as good, I would be satisfied.
My father said that you can't force too much. Everything depends on chance. Whether you can enter the palace is half man-made and half God's will.
Thinking too much, my little face turned red involuntarily, and I secretly sketched out my imagination in my heart, feeling that the prospect was very good.
She was taught by her father to be a middle-class lady since she was a child. She seldom went out and mostly stayed at home. When she became a prince, she accompanied her eldest sister Lu Pingting. She didn't have any independent opinions in her family. She followed her father at home and followed her husband in everything.
They all act in accordance with his father's instructions, including the monthly charity gifts, which are all planned by his father.
The purpose was just to gain a reputation as a filial and approachable person, but it turned out that this move was good, and the good reputation spread in the capital had already reached the ears of the Dowager Empress.
In fact, she really didn't like being with those dirty poor people.
Every time she saw them coming over with a stinky smell, with handfuls of mud on their hands and a smell of sourness on their bodies, she felt extremely unhappy in her heart, and she had to endure it in every possible way to avoid having an attack on the spot.
The soft voice of the imperial concubine came to my ears in a daze, "I have met the prince."
"I've met the imperial concubine." The refreshing laugh came from King Cheng.
