Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 87 Mulan
The noble concubine started, and all the other concubines stood up to toast together.Even though Concubine Xian was unwilling, she had no choice but to shut up and get up with everyone.

The queen mother was overjoyed, so she was accompanied by the emperor and queen, and drank the glass of chrysanthemum wine to the full.

After taking her seat, the queen mother nodded and smiled at the queen: "The queen is frugal by nature, she is worthy of being in the middle palace, and she can set an example for the sixth palace."

The queen hurriedly stood up and thanked her again.

Although the pure concubine Su Wanrou is in the same concubine position as Concubine Xian, she also has a prince, but she was born as a Han girl and ranks below Concubine Xian.Concubine Chun smiled and said: "I look at the weed grass flower on the head of the master and empress tonight, it is really different from the past. It's just that I have poor eyesight, so I can't tell what kind of flower it is."

What the Empress wears on her head tonight is the Tongcao flower made by Wanxi herself.

The empress bowed her head with a smile, raised her hands to caress her temples, and before she could speak, the emperor nodded and said, "Concubine Chun was born in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is possible that she has never seen this flower before. This flower is called Tiannv Mulan, and it grows in the ancestral land outside the Guan, especially in He Tuara."

The queen mother couldn't help staring at her when she heard this, she also nodded and smiled: "The goddess Mulan is the divine flower that gave birth to my Manchuria. It is said that the first ancestor was born from the red fruit of the goddess Mulan. But it is rare in the pass. , even I have only seen the pictures, but not the real flowers. Although this grass flower is also made by hand, it is already a fake."

The queen also got up and bowed to the queen mother: "What the queen mother said is exactly. Tonight is the Double Ninth Festival, and the fruit of the celestial magnolia just ripens in the first ten days of September. Therefore, this minister specially wears the flowers of the celestial magnolia to celebrate the queen mother's birthday."

The Heavenly Maiden Mulan is wild in Manchuria outside the Guan, and it is difficult to grow it because of the unsuitable climate inside the Guan, so even the concubines who were born in the Bannerman seldom saw it.At this time, when they heard that the queen was wearing such a flower, they all got up and saluted the queen.

Tonight at the Chongyang Palace Banquet, the Queen inadvertently won a lot of applause because of this grass flower, and she herself couldn't help being overjoyed for a while.

Later, the concubines stepped forward to toast the queen mother one by one, and the emperor took the opportunity to get up and walk to the queen's side.

His slightly drunken eyes half-closed his eyes and stared at the flowers on the queen's head.

The Queen's heart beat uncontrollably.She almost couldn't remember how long it had been since the emperor stared at her like this.

"Little Xing, you look really pretty wearing this flower tonight." The emperor took the initiative to clink glasses with the queen.

The queen lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor took a deep breath: "The heavenly maiden Mulan only grows wild in the ancestral land of Manchuria outside my pass. The concubines in the palace not only don't know it, but have never seen it. You wear this flower to remind me, to remind the whole harem, not to forget that our ancestors started their business." Xiao Xing, you really are my virtuous wife and my virtuous empress of the Qing Dynasty."

The queen lowered her head with a smile, and the tassels made of the red fruit hanging from the female Mulan swayed in her ears, adding to the charm.

The emperor sighed softly and reached out to hold the queen's hand.
.
This night, the queen did not return to Changchun Palace.Even Suchun and other four first-class women also followed to serve.

Everyone in the Changchun Palace understood that the queen was staying in the Hall of Mental Cultivation tonight.

Just in time for the festival, the remaining six little maids in Changchun Palace were also happy and at ease.

It's just that Wanxi said to fetch water, but sat alone in the well pavilion in the backyard for a long time.I saw that first quarter moon on the ninth day of the ninth day was like a broken half cake, printed in the quiet well water, silent.

She stood up abruptly, went to the mouth of the well to catch the well rope.When the bucket in the well was filled and brought up, it shattered the embarrassing half of the moon.The bucket hit the hoop well stone, making a clear and crisp sound.

She hit a bucket, poured it down again, and hit another bucket.

There was also a jingling sound when the wrist hit the barrel beam.

She just sat down and rolled up her sleeves to look.

That was when she handed the purse to Master Jiu, who took the purse and put it on her wrist.When she realized that it was locked up, she wanted to take it off, but he held it tightly.A pair of clear black and white eyes ignited a faint but fiery fire, "...you are not allowed to take the birthday present."

　There's more tomorrow~~
