Concubine Li's palace is spacious and gorgeous, and the people inside are happy and beautiful.
Everyone had a bright smile on their face. Although they followed Emperor Qi's call and practiced strict economy, they all had beautiful patterns embroidered on their shortened and narrowed skirts, which were exquisite, cute and pleasing to the eye.
The flowers and plants planted inside are also rare varieties that cannot be seen outside. It is autumn at this time, and all kinds of precious and beautiful chrysanthemums are in full bloom.
Concubine Li was wearing a silver-red short coat and a pink-white long skirt. She was lazily leaning on the corridor to watch the palace people fighting grass. She had a thick pile of cloth at her hand.
Mu Yunhan saluted and said hello, and Concubine Li called her up in a cheerful and relaxed tone: "If you want to make autumn clothes, according to the rules, someone will send the expenses to each palace.
But Dongyang Marquis is different from others. He has to choose something that suits his liking, so that His Majesty will look pleasing to the eye and be in a happy mood.
You are what he likes the most, so I asked you to pick out fabric styles for him, and also make two sets of clothes for you and your sister, which is my idea."
It's just a small thing, but it's arranged well and clearly, making people happy both physically and mentally.
The childless but ever-loving imperial concubine certainly had her own tricks up her sleeve.
Mu Yunhan thanked him respectfully and gave him a few tall hats at the right time.
Concubine Li covered her mouth and laughed: "Marquis Dongyang is sweet-tongued and sensible, and so are you. I like people like this. Come on, I'll give you this cup of fragrant tea."
He looked like he was being coaxed into being very happy.
If Mu Yunhan was not experienced in the world, she would really think that she was very capable and good at pleasing people, but she knew that was not the case.
Gu Mingyue is a sharp knife, while Concubine Li is a soft knife that kills people without blood.
He cheered up and went back and forth with Concubine Li, fighting quietly for several rounds. No one took advantage, but the matter of clothes was settled.
A gust of wind blew up, and the earthy smell hit my nose.
The palace servants packed up their belongings with a smile and persuaded Concubine Li to go inside: "Mother, it's going to rain."
Concubine Li said charmingly: "It's been a long time since I've seen it rain, so I'll just watch it here. Madam Hui, if you go back at this time and you're going to get wet in the rain, why don't you stay and talk to me."
Mu Yunhan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "That is the little woman's honor."
"Be good." Concubine Li patted her hand and said casually: "I heard that you met Madam Gu just now. Did she hurt you?"
"No." Mu Yunhan lowered his head, cherishing his words like gold.
"Tsk, what are you afraid of her for?"
Concubine Li clicked her tongue and said disapprovingly: "She is just like a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry. She is also a grasshopper after autumn. She won't be able to jump for long.
Let me tell you, if His Majesty knows what happened today, she will definitely not be able to afford it and walk away."
Mu Yunhan stood up in panic: "I really didn't hurt the little woman..."
But Concubine Li smiled seductively: "Really? Then why did you fall?"
As expected, Mu Yunhan staggered twice and fell to the ground.
Concubine Li stopped smiling, coughed, and said sadly: "What should I do? Madam Zou Hui came to make clothes, and she fainted here in this palace, so she was afraid of something happening.
But we can’t ignore it, otherwise I’m afraid that Marquis Dongyang will blame me for being ruthless, so someone comes and takes the token to announce the imperial doctor.”
Mu Yunhan lay on the soft couch in the corridor and closed his eyes, pretending to sleep. Listening to the gurgling rain, he inexplicably remembered the time when he was at home.
At that time, when it was raining and nothing happened, she and Gu Fenglin would sit in front of the window, play chess and watch the rain.
Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
