Concubine Shen really repeated it: "The clothes made of this fabric are cool to wear."
Man Xing: "..." I don't understand the world of local tyrants.
The girl Manxing left holding the ice silk cloth with a dreamy face, while Concubine Shen took out her "calendar" and began to look through the upcoming events in the palace.
Shen Yuqing asked Manchen to make the calendar. It was a thin booklet with thirteen sheets in total. Each sheet had 29 to 30 lines, corresponding to the first to thirtieth days of the lunar calendar.
The month of the lunar calendar is basically selected from 29 or 30. The exact number mainly depends on whether the 15th day of each month is the day when the moon is the roundest, and astronomical knowledge is required for calculation. There was a special astrology department in the Yan dynasty, but I forgot what it was called Shen Yuqing, it seemed to be Qin Tianjian.
But even so, 365 days a year is still 11 days away, so there will be a leap month every three years, that is, there will be two identical months in this year, such as two Februarys.
There is a leap June this year, that is to say, there are thirteen months this year.
Concubine Shen casually flipped through the first five sheets, and flipped directly to June. Today is June 14th, which happens to be Xiaoshu. Shen Yuqing has an NPC system, which counts days according to the Gregorian calendar, and today happens to be July 7th. This time of year is already very hot.
Manchen carefully recorded some big and small matters in the palace in the second half of the year after the corresponding dates, for example, the thousand-year-old banquet will be held on June 29th, which is the queen's birthday banquet. Coincidentally, the emperor's birthday was the day before, June 28, Longevity Day.
"It's so close..." A thought flashed through Shen Yuqing's mind, and it disappeared before she caught it, but she always felt that these two days were very meaningful.
From June 14th to June 28th, there were no activities in the palace during this period, and every day was to greet the queen. And every ten days, I have to pay my respects to the queen mother, and there is nothing else. In addition to the Thousand Years Banquet and Longevity Festival, Madam Mi next month will host a banquet and invite all the concubines to Xianlu Palace. It seems that it is a festival in her hometown of Loulan.
"It's really boring." Shen Yuqing threw away the calendar, women in the palace would not have good motives for hosting a banquet, and any celebration of festivals must be fake, but I don't know what Madam Mi wants to do.
Man Chen came in with panna cotta that had been tempered with well water, and handed it to Shen Yuqing.
"Your Majesty, have some snacks first, it's really boring, why don't you go to the Royal Garden for a walk."
This is a common entertainment for women in the palace. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the imperial garden for a stroll. Even if you can't meet the emperor by chance, you can meet a few concubines by chance. Everyone got together to fight with each other to pass the time. Although someone always had the upper hand and was rejected, it was much more interesting than being in a daze in the palace.
Shen Yuqing glanced sadly at the sun outside the window, it was already past noon, the sun was getting less intense, it was a good time to go for a walk. This shows from the side that you will definitely meet a lot of people when you go out.
Fortunately, today's Huaijing is not as hot as later generations, and it doesn't have a high temperature of more than 30 degrees or 40 degrees from morning to night. It is not so hot to go for a walk near the evening.
"Okay, let's set up the imperial garden."
The imperial concubine drank the trembling milk jelly in one mouthful. The taste of this thing was similar to double-skin milk, and it melted into water in the mouth, so it was convenient to eat. Man Chen's eyes were calm, and he was already used to his mother's bold and unrestrained style.
Turning his head and waving his hands, let the little palace maid prepare.
As a high-ranking concubine, she has to be prepared every time she goes out, and prepare essentials such as soft sedan tea and refreshments, and make sure that her mother can eat, drink and have fun wherever she goes.
Soon, Shen Yuqing set off alone.
Alone means without adults. The adults are taking a nap, no one is allowed to disturb them, otherwise they will scratch anyone they see.
"No cat masturbation." Concubine Shen maintained a noble and elegant expression, and complained in a low voice to Que Ri beside her.
Man Xing took Qingyan to deliver things, but has not come back yet. Normally, the two of them were the only maids who followed Shen Yuqing out, and had no choice but to pull out Bi Liu, who was fine for the time being, but she was only a second-class court lady, and the first-class court lady next to Concubine Shen was accompanied by a big eunuch, Que Ri.
Que Ri is smart and intelligent, unlike Que Yue in the master who is calm and dignified, he is very good at making the noble concubine happy. Seeing the noble concubine complaining, she quickly comforted her: "My lord is sleeping now, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep at night, your empress can play with your lord for a while longer. I'll ask for your greetings tomorrow, just ask for leave."
It's not a big deal that the imperial concubine doesn't want to greet the queen, just tell the queen, and the queen will help find excuses to deal with other concubines. Shen Yuqing thought about it and thought it was feasible.
You can't chase your wife too closely, it's not good to frighten her. It doesn't matter if you miss breakfast once in a while, maybe if she doesn't come, the queen will suddenly feel uncomfortable
Forming a habit is half the battle.
Concubine Shen patted Que Ri on the head very satisfied: "That's it!"
With that said, he has arrived at the Royal Garden.
The imperial garden in the harem is the rear imperial garden, and there is also a former imperial garden in the front palace, between the Forbidden Building and the Golden Luan Hall. The forbidden building connects the front and back palaces. It is a huge city tower with five door openings. The north and south are the front palace and the back palace. They pass through the door opening, and the east and west are Ziwu Road. They pass through the tower and go out to Qinglongmen and Baihumen.
I heard that the front imperial garden is only half the size of the rear imperial garden, and it is not as exquisite as the rear imperial garden, with rockery, flowing water and winding paths. In short, the imperial garden in the front is neat and grand, while the one in the back is more like a Suzhou garden, with small pavilions and pavilions inside, which are only used for daily rest and are not populated by people, and it is easy for concubines to get lost in the back garden.
For example, Shen Guifei, whose ability to recognize the way is stronger than her peers, but still slightly weaker.
Shen Guifei, who grew up in the desert, knows the way in the desert, but she is not so good at knowing the way in the Central Plains. But compared to other Mingjiao disciples, it is already much better. However, it is limited to recognizable roads, such a winding garden, Shen Guifei will definitely not be able to get out.
If no one was around, she would probably fly into the sky with a flick of the chain. When you are in the sky, you don't have to worry about identifying the way, just look for the direction and fly home. But when it is inconvenient to go to the sky, she can only wander around in the garden, getting more and more sideways.
Concubine Shen Gui, who hadn't learned her lesson before, felt that the palace servants were annoying, so she walked quickly and dumped him, and was dumbfounded after the dumping, and was only found by the people from Jianjia Palace after wandering around for a long time. Afterwards, she didn't want to be dead anymore, and no matter how troublesome she was, she would bring a palace servant by her side to guide the way.
"Every time I come to the Imperial Garden, I feel that I have never been here before." Shen Yuqing said solemnly.
It feels that the Royal Garden is the same everywhere, but it is different everywhere. Shen Yuqing has been here many times, but she still doesn't remember the places she has been to. Everywhere she goes, she feels like she is the first time back. There are only a few pavilions that are often used as banquet venues, and she still has a little impression.
Going around, and soon came to the depths of Baihua, Shen Yuqing felt that she had never seen it before.
"What kind of flower is this? When was it planted? Why haven't I seen it before?" Is this flower still growing in the imperial garden!
Que Ri glanced at it: "Returning to your mother, this flower only blooms in summer, and your mother has never seen it before."
Shen Yuqing has been in the palace for a full year. When she first entered the palace, she ran outside the palace every day, and she didn't remember what happened in the palace in summer.
After hearing Que Ri's explanation, Shen Yuqing came to a sudden, and just about to say something, several women came out from the other side of the path.
"Look who I saw? It turned out to be the imperial concubine." She covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Who is the concubine who can't recognize flowers..."
After finishing speaking, she immediately changed her words, said offended, and said that she was outspoken, and asked Shen Yuqing not to care about it.
Shen Yuqing ignored her.
Those who come up are indifferent, and are usually idle and painful. She noticed that there was another group of people nearby, and she probably rushed over after hearing the commotion here, and then let the two of them go.
The person who came was none other than Mrs. Mi, whose name she had only heard of.
When Shen Yuqing was "recovering from illness", Madam Mi suddenly complained of illness and could not come out. She was not seen showing up until the newcomers entered the palace after the general election. In the beginning, everyone joked that the imperial concubine was cured, but she gave the madam of her illness to Mrs. Mi, but she was rectified by the empress, so she didn't dare to speak nonsense.
When Mrs. Mi entered the palace, Shen Yuqing became "ill". Mrs. Mi has been in the palace for two months, and the two of them have never met each other. How could they be so sick? But Shen Yuqing probably knew why this woman could not get out of the illness, and the reason was probably similar to what the people in the palace arranged for Shen Yuqing.
— Concubine Shen Gui was "fated by Mrs. Mi's entry into the palace" at the beginning, and Mrs. Mi was probably "sickened by the news of the general election".
However, both of them are probably pretending to be sick.
Mrs. Mi heard about the general election in advance, perhaps when the emperor stayed in her palace the first day, so she immediately fell ill the next day. I thought that although His Majesty the Emperor, who has been gentle and doting on her for the past month, would not cancel the general election for her, he would at least accompany her and comfort her, but the Emperor immediately forgot about her and took turns pampering the newcomers. I don't remember that I had such a concubine from the Western Regions before.
Mrs. Mi was in a hurry, but she couldn't get off the tiger. She couldn't find a good excuse to "recover from illness", so she had to drag on for so long. Until, yesterday, the emperor suddenly thought of her and went to sit in her palace at noon.
But the emperor didn't take a rest in her palace by the way, and went to Liu Shuyuan's place at night, probably because he was not happy about the things that made her petty before.
The news of her recovery came out this morning, probably because she didn't expect the emperor to favor others, and suddenly realized that she can no longer pretend to be sick to make the emperor unhappy, so she recovered quickly.
She was not Concubine Shen. When Concubine Shen was pretending to be sick, the emperor went to sit around every now and then. If he couldn't go by himself, he asked the palace maid Jinli to come over, and even sent some rewards every now and then. Mrs. Mi pretended to be ill, but the reward was not mentioned, and the emperor did not come at all, for fear of being overwhelmed by illness.
It's true that people are more popular than people.
Therefore, it is strange that Mrs. Mi can see Shen Yuqing pleasingly.
The author has something to say: So far, the two villainous bosses in the early stage of this article are all together
Concubine Rong and Mrs. Mi are big bosses, Concubine Shu and Mrs. Wan are small bosses.
In the later stage, there are several other people, who have basically not yet entered the palace.
