I knew she already understood, so I had to persuade her: "Sister, I have pity on the hearts of parents in the world. My sister is getting thinner day by day, but I don't know that the Queen Mother is also having trouble sleeping and eating. To tell you the truth, the Queen Mother sent not only these, but also a batch of fine blood.
Yan."
"Sister, have you forgotten who confined me here?"
"The Queen Mother has always been iron-fisted. Originally, she just wanted to kill my sister's arrogance so that you can surrender obediently. However, mother and daughter are close to each other. It doesn't hurt her to see you like this. But now that things have happened, she is the queen of the mother after all, so she can't hold you back.
You have no choice but to let me take this trip."
Outside the hall, the spring breeze caressed the bamboos, and the only sound left was the rustling of bamboo leaves. Seeing that my sister had no intention of replying, I was thinking of finding a way to talk so as not to be embarrassed. But without any warning, there was a sound of banging rings.
, as clear and crisp as a girl’s laughter. Lingxi and I looked at each other, both of us were a little puzzled. We were about to ask someone to go out and take a look when another voice came: “Sister Lingxi, it’s me.”
The person who came was a girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She was extremely tall and fair-skinned. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she had a white jade hairpin inlaid with coral beads on each side, which matched well with the graceful cloisonné earrings. Pink and purple flowers and branches.
The underskirt is paired with a gold-threaded begonia shawl of the same color. It looks like she is noble and dare not look at her, and she is so bright that she cannot be compared to anything else.
Lingxi was overjoyed to see her younger sister. She smiled slightly and said, "Qianyu, why are you here?"
Xue Po's nickname is Qian Yu. When she heard this, she flattened her mouth and said with infinite grievance, "It's my birthday soon. My sister won't visit me, so I have no choice but to come see her." I'm afraid of Xue Po.
Tong Yanwuji touched her sister's sadness as she spoke, and joked: "Look, from the moment you entered the house until now, you have only thought of me as nobody, so I won't go to your birthday next time, so as not to bully you."
Good for you."
Xue Po said hurriedly: "Where did the Sixth Sister go? I just knew you were here, so I came here in a hurry. Otherwise, when would the sisters get together?" I said: "You too, Sister Lingxi is a vegetarian and doesn't like the excitement.
Yes, let's laugh and make a fuss for a while and leave, and she will only become more deserted. I should come today, you come tomorrow, and call the third brother the day after tomorrow. This will make my sister neither too lively nor too deserted."
Xue Po was young and tender-faced, but he couldn't refute me. He paused and said angrily: "The Queen Mother also said that Sixth Sister, you are kind-hearted and gentle. She told me to learn from you more. It can be seen that I have never seen you so sharp-tongued.
.”
I couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this. It was just a common joke between sisters. What if this little girl Xue Po accidentally revealed what she said to the Queen Mother and made her think that I am different from others and caused trouble in the future? Although she may not necessarily
She is such a narrow-minded person, but since the death of my father, my destiny can be said to be controlled by her, and I cannot make any mistakes.
Lingxi pretended to be angry and said: "You are the youngest daughter. Are your brothers and sisters allowed to love you and protect you? Are you not allowed to make fun of you?" Then she pointed to the brocade box held in the beaded hands of her maid and said: "
What is that, let alone what kind of food it is, your sister Huaishu just brought a bunch of it, and I really can’t bear it anymore."
Only then did Xue Po slap his head as if remembering, and hurriedly took the brocade box, opening it and saying, "Lian Biao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really careful. The draft is about to take place right now. He didn't prepare enough clothes, jewelry, and utensils.
Baba even prepared some flower dices, saying they were for the ladies and mistresses to pass the time in the future. I thought they were interesting, so I took some to play with."
At this time, even Lingxi couldn't help but smile and said: "I wonder what a new thing is. Women of all dynasties have loved to play with this thing. It's just a lottery and not serious. No one can control it.
"
Xue Po was even more proud when he heard this and said: "You don't know that this time they are all made from the same batch. Even the signatures and other things were sung by the famous "Huaxi Guest" in the capital."
Lingxi and I were shocked at the same time and said, "What did you say?"
This Huaxi guest was the top official of Aifenglou, a famous fireworks venue in the capital. Scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty loved elegance and never shied away from prostitutes, but it would be boring if the prostitutes were just gaudy and ruthless. So gradually a kind of beginning was born.
Women of the Qing Dynasty who only perform arts and dances but do not receive guests are generally well-educated. Not only can they play lyrics and sing songs, but they can also recite poems and compose poems. In recent years, a Shu native has come to the capital.
The woman is said to have the beauty of a woman who is shy of the moon, and the talents of Yan Rui and Xue Tao. In short, she is highly sought after, and many princes and grandsons flock to her. These are just what Princess Qi gossiped about when she entered the palace. As for her nickname, it seems to be because
It comes from the saying "Falling reds follow the flowing water, tears are the stream of flowers".
Although women in the capital can secretly imitate the dress of Huaxi Guests, as imperial concubines and role models for women in the world, our words and deeds must not have the slightest connection with prostitutes. Otherwise, it would not be a big joke. So I
He said hurriedly: "Sister, you didn't say anything today. Please return these quickly. It's all because Xiao Lianzi is so bold and has nothing to do with you."
Xuepo didn't care at all and said: "Sixth sister, don't worry. Since I dare to bring it over to invite you to play, I naturally got the mother's consent. Sister Lingxi, the mother really cares about you!" I committed a crime in order to let you come out.
It doesn’t matter how many taboos there are.
This girl always tried her best to bridge the gap between her mother and her sister, but her abrupt words made it hard for people to interpret. So I had to say: "Do you really agree that your mother is willing to play with these things that are popular in fireworks venues?"
Xue Po said dissatisfied: "Sixth Sister, are you doubting me? I happened to be there when Lian Biao went to answer the question today. I heard that he ordered the Bureau of Construction to make flower lots for the concubines to play with in the future. The Queen Mother was very emotional and said
It reminded me of the time when she played with Empress Dowager Zhaohui and Concubine Chunmin. I was curious and took it over to take a look. Unexpectedly, Hehe also came to say hello. She was a troublemaker. I introduced her to her kindly, but who knew that she turned out to be rude?
As far as the face is concerned, this is played by unclean women. Isn’t this a slap in the face of me and my mother?”
Lingxi frowned and said: "Nonsense, she is our sister, how can you exclude her like this?"
Xue Po said aggrievedly: "Thank you for still treating her as your sister. I was young at the time. Didn't my sister personally experience how the Hu family framed the mother and almost instigated the father to deprive the mother of the queen's status?"
Lingxi said: "The deceased is dead. After all, Sister Hehe is the father's flesh and blood. She is innocent."
"But she just hates her and is always yin and yang. Princess Zhenyi is obviously her adoptive mother. She loves and cares for her so much. Look at how filial she is. Even the princess said that it would be better to treat her harmoniously than sister Huaishu.
She is diligent and filial." Xue Po paused and said: "The queen mother was also angry that day and asked her, 'Since it is a pornographic song at a fireworks venue, how did you, as the emperor's concubine, know about it?' She actually said
It was the third brother who said it, and he also insinuated that his behavior was inappropriate. The mother became angry and said that she was not filial as a child and did not work as a female worker. She only went to inquire about right and wrong. She would definitely be guilty of talking about it when she got married in the future. She ordered her to go back.
Wu Liang Dian has been thinking about it for half a month."
After hearing this, I didn't think so at all. In the past, Mrs. Hu was favored by her father, and she was very domineering. She was not angry with Concubine Zhen and refused to bow to her. Concubine Zhen was always diligent in walking around with Concubine Zhen, and she was favored by her father.
She actually reprimanded and punished her to kneel down in the Yanxi Hall. Even with the care of the Queen Mother and several concubines in those years, our mother and daughter's life was quite difficult. Until Hu failed to curse the Queen Mother and was deposed as a talented person by his father and died suddenly.
.Hehe was also adopted by Concubine Zhenmu, but Concubine Zhenmu was not angry with her because of her biological mother. On the contrary, she was restless in front of others and behind others, just like what Xue Po said, "yin and yang strange energy". Over time, Concubine Zhenmu became even more angry.
Such a good-tempered person was so angry with her that she stopped caring about her moving out of Sanshou Palace.
Xuepo's temper came and went as quickly as it came. Seeing that neither Lingxi nor I refuted, she also stopped her attack, turned to mention the boxwood bottle, and said: "Let's not talk about these things anymore. If you say you don't want to smoke, just stop smoking."
Let’s take a look at these flower lots. There can’t be anything else, right? In fact, I know that what us girls want most is a good reputation, but as the sixth sister said, drawing flower lots has been around since ancient times, but it’s just something that has happened in recent times.
The Guan Qin Building became prosperous, and the literati and poets saw the Huaxi guest's unique signature, so they called it "Huaxi Sign", but it was just a pout. It's not as bad as He He said."
In ancient times, daughters played with flower lottery and used flowers as metaphors for people. This is just a gimmick.
In addition, in the original version of The Legend of Zhen Huan, there is no time limit for the makeup of ladies and concubines, so I also used cloisonné and other techniques invented in the Ming Dynasty.
