"My dear concubine, please stay -" Wen Xi was on the shoulder carriage returning to the Chengqian Palace, and Concubine Shen hurriedly chased after her. The carriage can only be used if it is a concubine or above, so among the concubines, only Wen Xi
Xi and Concubine Tong can enjoy it.~~High status means taking advantage!
Concubine Shen bowed and said: "Empress Jin'an!"
"What's wrong, Concubine Shen?"
Concubine Shen took a breath and said, "I don't think I have any dissatisfaction with you because I changed my title because I avoided my mother-in-law. I am just a branch of the Hesheli family, and my father and brother in the family are not up to par. Although my biological mother is
Fortunately, he was righted, but he passed away two years ago."
Wen Xi tilted her head slightly and said slowly: "Concubine Shen actually doesn't need to explain to me."
"The empress is very aware of everything and naturally knows everything. It's just that I'm unhappy because I don't want to complain. I always like people who are straightforward. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to sit in the empress' palace?"
"When the Japanese palace changes, we will definitely welcome you." Now that the words have come to that, can Wen Xi still refuse?
Concubine Shen bowed slightly and said: "The sun is becoming more and more poisonous, and your skin is like snow. It is not suitable to be exposed to the sun for a long time. I will come to see you someday."
Sitting on the shoulder carriage, I leisurely returned to Chengqian Palace. It was July, the hottest time of the year, and an ice basin had already been placed in the palace. The inside and outside of the palace were completely two worlds.
With the red gold rhombus armor in the way, I fiddled with the large ice cubes in the blue and white porcelain dragon-patterned vat with my fingers, and quietly sprinkled some space water on it to make the air in the palace smell fresher.
Sitting on the rosewood girdle, the ice-cracked enamel incense burners on the left and right had a strong aroma, which made me feel particularly uncomfortable. The light in his warm eyes turned and he ordered: "Put out the fire in the incense burner, I will."
Don’t like the strong aroma!”
The little maid in green clothes who was adding incense next to the incense burner said: "Your Majesty, this is the plum blossom incense presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the whole palace, it is only available in the palace of Your Majesty and Concubine Tong."
"Don't you understand what your Majesty is saying?!" Song'er stepped forward with a stern tone, pouring half of the remaining tea into the incense burner. Song'er then reprimanded: "My Majesty doesn't like the smell! No incense is allowed in Chengqian Palace from now on!
Hurry up and get out! Your Majesty is so close, it’s your turn to serve me!"
The little palace maid looked very aggrieved, "It is customary for the imperial concubine to be accompanied by ten maids wearing intimate clothing, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned minions and others to serve her."
Wen Xi waved her hand and said, "Step back."
"yes."
When Zhu'er saw the little palace maid retreating, she walked up to Wen Xi and said, "Master, when you went to Cining Palace to pay your respects, Xu Xinyi, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, personally sent four palace maids and six eunuchs over.
It's called Biluo. I didn't check it for a moment, so she took it upon herself to light it up with spices."
Do you want to put people in so quickly? Concubine Tong stretched out her hands quickly enough! While fanning herself, she said: "In the future, newcomers will not be allowed to serve in the palace, and they will only be allowed to do unimportant menial work. You should also keep your eyes open.
Keep an eye on me. Let Aunt Ping come and see if there is anything wrong with the spices."
"yes."
"Master, do you think there's something wrong with this fragrance?" Nanny Wu suddenly got to the point.
Wen Xi squinted her eyes, "Just be careful."
Malang Ashi walked to the enamel smoker and said, "Not only must you be careful with the spices, but the smoker also needs to be carefully inspected. Ask two stout little eunuchs to replace the smoker with the pair of golden cranes in the empress's warehouse.
The incense burner. Although the empress does not like burning incense, she always orders some ambergris when the emperor comes."
The golden crane-style incense burner is a warm dowry. The whole body is gilded with silver, and the black pearls are the eyes of the crane. The back of the crane can be opened, pour in the spices and light it, and the faint fragrance will be spit out from the crane's mouth. Even if it is not used, it can be placed in the temple to enjoy.
It's also good. Wen Xi nodded and said, "It's better to get more seasonal flowers and keep them in the palace than to use any spices."
Malang Ashi said yes, and took a few rough envoys to the flower room in person.
"What do you think of Concubine Shen?" Wen Xi suddenly asked Aunt Wu.
Wu Lu thought for a while: "It doesn't look like she is scheming, but the concubines are mostly scheming and using each other. Even if they form a party, they only have the same interests."
"Then do you think she and I have the same interests?" Wen Xi knew that Wu Lu and Malang A were both old men who had been in the palace for a long time, so they naturally saw things more clearly than young people.
Wu Lu said with a smile: "Concubine Tong is the Han army's yellow flag. I'm afraid there are many concubines who are unwilling to accept it. Concubine Shen is the Hesheli family after all. Naturally, she is not willing to succumb to the Han army's flag and the concubine who wears the flag.
Next. If the empress wants to take her under her wings, it is not impossible."
"Hmm... Do you know which palace Yi Changzai is placed in?"
"Jingren Palace," Mrs. Wu Lu said casually, "the empress does not need to care about these small things. There are only three things worthy of the empress' concern. One is status, the second is holy grace, and the third is heirs. Once these three things are taken care of, naturally
Everything is safe. Yi Changzai has been in the palace for more than two months, and he has not received any luck so far. However, Yi Changzai and Yuan Guiren, who are newly admitted to the palace this year, are somewhat favored."
Wen Xi smiled bitterly. Although she looked down on Yi Mu on the surface, she just came from Qing Dynasty. Wen Xi didn't know how powerful her so-called medical skills were, nor did she know how well Yi Mu knew about history.
You have to be more careful.
"I remember that there were a lot of good things in the dowry, so I went to choose some and give them to several concubines. Remember to give something more valuable to Concubine Shen. I also gave Concubine Tong a white jade Guanyin Guanyin. The concubines below looked at it.
Just do it.”
Wu Lu said: "Then I'd better draw up a list. After the empress has read it, I'll send someone to deliver it one by one.
"Well, that's fine." Wu Lu was quietly cultivating her ability to communicate with each other.
Zhu'er held up a round box with colorful enamel branches and passionflower patterns, and said: "Your Majesty, please eat some preserved apricots to moisten your mouth. It's easy to lose sight of food in the summer. Preserved apricots are very appetizing."
The color of the preserved apricots is golden, and a box full of preserved apricots has a pleasant color. They are all pitted, and the fruity aroma is also a bit tempting. Wen Xi couldn't help but eat two more, and felt that her teeth were sore.
, while pressing it with Biluochun, "I asked the kitchen to make some light vegetarian dishes for lunch. The hibiscus agar-agar dish in the morning would be good."
While they were discussing what to eat for lunch, Liang Jiugong, who was next to Kangxi, came and said, "The emperor said it, and suddenly I was thinking about the taste of the fish cake that day."
"I know." Are you still addicted? Wen Xi rubbed her temples. It was a hot day and she didn't want to go to the kitchen. But Kang**oss had spoken. How could she not obey? "I
Just do it and I will take you away in a moment."
Liang Jiugong said: "Why don't you send it to the Yangxin Palace in person? The emperor will be happier!"
Wen Xi smiled and said: "I'm tired in spring and taking a nap in summer. It's such a hot day and I'm too lazy to go out. If my father-in-law is in a hurry, just go back first. After a while, the snacks will be ready. I'll ask the nun next to me to send them to him.
"Heart Palace." She didn't want to go. Going up the pole to please the big boss would be too attentive. Men, you can't be too nice to him, otherwise he will take it for granted if you get used to it.
The corner of Liang Jiugong's mouth twitched. Compared to when he was outside the palace, this noble master should be considered more polite.
Wu Lushi, who was beside her with a warm face, calmly stuffed Liang Jiugong with a purse embroidered with gold and auspicious cloud patterns, "I'd like you to make this trip on a hot day. Father-in-law, please drink ice cream to relieve the heat before leaving."
Liang Jiugong pinched his purse and saw several beads, seven or eight of them, each one as big as the belly of his thumb. He couldn't help but feel a little happy. He usually only received some gold and silver rewards, how could they compare to Dongzhu?
Priceless? He couldn't help but smile, "You're welcome!"
Today's pearls are not as good as those that can be artificially cultivated and mass-produced in later generations. In the Qing Dynasty, there were special pearl divers who risked their lives to fish for pearls in the sea. Therefore, the price of a round and huge pearl is worth a hundred gold. But in Wenxi
In the space, the spinnaker clams in the shallow water are multiplying more and more, and the pearls are completely in a state of endless harvest. Wen Xi just took out the small pearls as a reward after passing through the drying basket. She
The pearl powder I use is ground from large pearls in the space, and it is pure natural and pollution-free.
