A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Chapter 14: Two ten-year-old children are chatting with carp tail and gold

Views:

"You here..." King Chen lowered his head, getting closer and closer to Jiu Zhu's face.

Your Highness, what are you doing? Although Miss Ming is his fiancee, but this is the gate of the palace, His Highness may be a little dignified.

"I originally drew the carp flower." King Chen stood up straight: "Why did you draw the carp flower so chubby?"

"Mother said that all women in the palace like to wear flowers and make-up. Today is the mother's birthday, so the carp was specially drawn. It has a good meaning." Jiuzhu brought her forehead closer to King Chen, so that he could see more clearly: "On the tail, I Decorated with gold powder, and the tail of the carp is decorated with gold, it is the meaning of splendid prosperity and longevity, isn't it good-looking?"

"Did you draw it yourself?" Wang Chen looked at her fair face, people looked at her petite and petite, why did she like to draw fat-headed fish

"Yeah." Jiuzhu was very confident in her craftsmanship.

"Just... it's alright." Seeing that the girl was still looking at him, King Chen added, "You dressed up well today."

Jiuzhu smiled happily: "Since Your Highness said yes, then the Empress will definitely be satisfied."

Wang Chen listened to this, something was wrong. Who was her fiancee

After listening to the conversation between the two, Xiang silk took back the foot she stepped out.

She blamed her for thinking too much, and looked at His Highness, there was nothing solemn or solemn, only two "ten-year-old" children were chatting.

"Let's go, I'm going to see the concubine too, you go with me." King Chen threw the whip to Chang Sui and strode ahead.

After walking for a while, he looked back at Jiuzhu, who was behind him, but was separated by a distance, stopped, waited for Jiuzhu to approach, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

I used to be able to break off a dogwood branch with my bare hands, how can I walk so slowly today

Don't you want to go with him

Jiuzhu tugged at the skirt, embarrassed for others to hear, and whispered, "The skirt is a bit long."

Seeing that her cheeks were slightly red, she seemed a little shy. King Chen walked to her side and lowered his voice: "No wonder women in the palace walk slowly, it turns out that the skirt is dragging them down."

Jiu Zhu suddenly realized that she was not the only one who was inconvenient to walk in this wide-sleeved and long-swing palace skirt.

"There was a concubine in the palace who wore a skirt with a length of two feet at the New Year's banquet. On the way back to the palace, a strong wind blew, and finally the skirt wrapped her whole body, which made many people watch the scene lively. "

"Two feet..." Jiuzhu heard about such a long skirt for the first time: "How much fabric does it take?"

King Chen visually measured Jiu Zhu's stature and affirmed, "I can make two clothes for you."

Jiuzhu sighed with emotion, the empress in the palace is just different, she can wear such long clothes.

Xiang silk looked away, pretending not to hear the whispers of the two. As long as she can't hear what the two of them are saying, she will always be the most disciplined Aunt Xiangshuang in Mingyue Palace.

"There are steps ahead." King Chen suddenly stopped and stretched his arm in front of Jiu Zhu.

"Ah?" Jiu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly stretched out his hand to support King Chen.

King Chen: "..."

"You have a long skirt, help me walk." He sighed, "I didn't ask you to help me."

He is a big man, walking a few steps, and he doesn't need the help of a little girl.

"Oh." Jiuzhu reacted, put her hand on King Chen's arm, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Going down the steps, King Chen said with a twist: "I'll let you continue to support my arm, so as not to fall and cry."

"I don't like to cry." Jiuzhu explained seriously: "Really."

King Chen: "..."

Xiang silk bowed her head, slowed her pace, and took a few steps away from the two.

Being too close, it was easy to hear what His Highness and Miss Ming said, and she was afraid that she couldn't help laughing.

The first female official of Mingyue Palace also needs face.

"Niangniang, Your Highness and Miss Ming are here."

"Welcome in."

"Concubine, don't welcome me, I'm coming in by myself." King Chen walked into the house: "Bring me some breakfast. I'm so busy entering the palace today that I didn't even have time to eat breakfast."

"Meet Empress." Jiuzhu bowed her knees to salute Su Guifei.

"Get up." Concubine Su Gui personally helped Jiuzhu up and praised: "Jiuzhu is really beautiful today, especially this flower tin, which is very interesting."

"This flower tin was drawn by the minister and daughter herself." Jiuzhu was very happy to hear Concubine Su complimenting herself.

"Exactly, I just don't know what flower tin to choose." Su Guifei took Jiuzhu's hand: "If you come and paint one for me, just paint yours."

"Okay." Jiuzhu rolled up her wide sleeves: "Drawing things, ministers and daughters are the best at it."

King Chen didn't understand, how did he start to draw flowers after a few words

Can you draw a carp as a fat-headed fish, but also embarrassed to say that you are good at it

Seeing that the two were already together, discussing whether to use gold foil or gold powder for the fish tail, King Chen clicked his tongue. One dares to speak, the other really dares to draw, and I don't know who has the most courage.

"Niangniang looks like a fairy, and any flower tin is beautiful." Jiuzhu gently stunned the fish tail with a pen, and sincerely praised: "It is said that the flower tin matches the human, but the empress is the human lining the flower tin."

Concubine Su was coaxed by Jiuzhu to laugh out loud: "Your mouth is so sweet, did you apply honey before going out in the morning?"

"I didn't put on honey, but the minister loves to tell the truth." When the gold powder was put on, the fish tail came out, Jiuzhu put down the pen, and half knelt in front of Su Guifei: "The first time I saw the empress, the minister really thought that , Niangniang is a fairy who fell from the sky."

"If this palace is a fairy, Jiuzhu is the most lovable little fairy in front of the Queen Mother of Yaochi." Concubine Su turned to look at her son who was eating breakfast, "Du Qing, are you right?"

"Whatever you say, just be happy."

He was wrong anyway, and he shouldn't be sitting here.

There is no queen in the palace. As the concubine with the highest status in the palace, Concubine Su Gui will go to Feifeng Hall at the moment of her birthday every year to receive congratulations from women of the third rank or above.

Shen shi came to the Feifeng Palace not too soon or too late. After meeting each other's courtesies with the wife present, he quietly sat down, assuming that he would never speak if there was nothing to do.

Everyone found out that the Shen family did not bring their daughter into the palace, and they were secretly shocked. The Ming family was dissatisfied with the marriage of King Chen, and even did not bring her daughter to congratulate Su Guifei on her birthday.

The female relatives exchanged glances, but no one came to Shen shi.

Concubine Su Gui is not a kind and considerate character. The Ming family does not give her face like this, and the scene may be a little ugly.

Sun Caiyao sat behind her mother. She looked at the calm lady of the Ming family with mixed feelings.

The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the sake of profit. All of these people here are afraid of offending the imperial concubine, and even the Shen shi dare not approach...

There was a high-five outside the hall, followed by an internal supervisor singing.

"The imperial concubine is here."

Sun Caiyao got up quickly and bowed to face the door.

Headed by the concubines and concubines, they ordered the wives to salute together: "Congratulations to the concubine, concubine, and congratulations to the concubine, longevity, good health, and eternal spring."

"Bye, kowtow."

"Goodbye."

"rise."

Sun Caiyao stood below, listening to the ceremony officer sing and read the congratulations written by the emperor for Su Guifei, and recalled many things about Su Guifei.

In the early years, some civil servants accused Su Guifei of being unworthy of the women who were ordered to worship him. His Majesty, in anger, personally held a banquet for Su Guifei. Since then, His Majesty will write birthday articles for the imperial concubine every year, and open the main entrance of the Feifeng Hall, so that the concubine Su is ordered to pay homage.

Among the concubines in the palace, only Concubine Su Gui had this preference. Because of this, some people accused Concubine Su, who was a concubine, but no one dared to complain in front of Concubine Su.

"Thank you all for your birthday, please take your seats." Concubine Su Gui sat on the top, and she looked at everyone: "I think, it's just a birthday, so it shouldn't be so exciting. However, Your Majesty said that this palace is the palace of the Mingyue Palace. Lord, all the ladies and husbands are Dacheng humerus, this palace should hold a banquet to entertain the ladies, and let Mrs. Xie take care of the back house for the ministers of the humerus, so that they can do things for Dacheng wholeheartedly."

The women's relatives were ordered to dare not even speak.

"It is a blessing for my husband to be able to contribute to the country."

"The lady is so sympathetic to the ministers and women, the ministers and women are very moved."

Concubine Ning sneered in her heart, who would show such a pretentious attitude to anyone who didn't know that His Majesty was willing to make a face for Concubine Su, and wished that she could congratulate Su Shi on the queen's scale.

No matter how much you make a face, the Ming family doesn't even want to bring their daughter into the palace.

Concubine Ning looked at Concubine Su sneeringly, but found a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl standing behind her. The girl has a beautiful face, wearing a splendid palace dress, and even the flower tin on her forehead is similar to Su's.

Who is this person

"Jiuzhu." Concubine Su beckoned to Jiuzhu, asked her to walk to her side, held her hand lightly and looked at everyone: "This child is young, kind, and most innocent and charming. I also invite you ladies. Take care in the future."

The wives who didn't know Jiuzhu wondered in their hearts, who is this little girl, so that Concubine Su can support her in person.

Ming Jiuzhu? !

Sun Caiyao looked at Ming Jiuzhu who was holding her hand by Concubine Su Gui, and almost didn't stand up.

How could she be by the imperial concubine's side

Why is the imperial concubine so close to her? !

Sun Caiyao's mind was agitated, and when she reacted, the wives were already praising Ming Jiuzhu. " and the like.

In the blink of an eye, she turned to look at Ming Jiuzhu's mother, Mrs. Shen.

Shen shi still had that calm expression, not happy because Ming Jiuzhu was supported by Concubine Su, nor did she show any dissatisfaction because she was close to Concubine Su.

Concubine Ning, who was sitting first on the left, looked at the Miss Ming family who was holding a tea cup for the Su family, and smiled coldly.

The things raised outside are not comparable to the real lady of the noble family. With such shallow eyelids and such flattering behavior, he is not afraid of losing his family's name.

After the woman saw the ceremony, she was taken to Mingyue Palace by the palace servants to watch a play and taste tea. Concubine Su Gui was still sitting above, waiting for the prince and princess to come in and salute her.

Jiuzhu wanted to leave with her mother, but was kept by Concubine Su.

"Jiuzhu doesn't have to go." Concubine Su Gui smiled at Jiuzhu: "You will spend more time with them in the future, so it would be better for them to get to know you earlier."

This sounded like it would make them shine brighter, not to offend Jiuzhu's intentions.

Jiuzhu nodded and walked back to Concubine Su: "Oh."

As expected of a fairy-like empress, she speaks so imposingly.

Soon after the princes and princesses entered the hall, Jiuzhu saw at a glance King Chen who had changed into a four-turned dragon-patterned robe. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked down the steps, bowing to the princes and princesses.

King Qi nodded slightly to her, graceful.

King Chen glanced at the steps and raised his eyebrows at Jiuzhu. Why do you walk so fast when you go down the steps? If you fall, it will be painful and embarrassing.

Jiu Zhu thought that His Highness was greeting him, and smiled at him with a pair of beautiful eyes.

King Chen: "..."

Ugh.
