A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 14 Forbidden Court (14)
He stared at me with both eyes, and I felt like I was going to reveal my secrets. (2)
Chunwo sighed for a long time, "The official family has great ambitions, and this kind of person is inherently unfathomable. If you are against him, I am worried that you will end up harming yourself." He paused and hesitated, " But I think...he might like you a little bit."

"Huh?" Yun Hua turned sideways, "Why do you say that?"

"You drank alcohol and developed a rash that day. It was the medicine that the government rubbed on you. Do you have any impression?"

She was surprised, and quickly recalled in her mind, but there was nothing.She shook her head, "I was so drunk at the time, I don't remember." Her heart was in a state of panic, she looked down at her tube top, hugged Chunwo's arm and asked, "Is the rash serious? It's all over the body." ?”

Chunwo pointed to her chest, "It's very serious, it's everywhere."

She was startled, then he rubbed the medicine on her, didn't he see everything!She didn't dare to think, covered her face with her hands, and moaned mournfully: "What should I do..."

Chunwo coughed twice to comfort her, "It's okay, even if the officials take off your tube top, it's not shameful, and you don't look ugly."

Zong Hua gave her a dejected look, it wasn't a matter of being ugly or not, but whether she was willing to let him see it.She was talking to him in Rouyi Hall with a shy face earlier, he probably died laughing secretly.Thinking of his cheeks burning hot, he pressed his face on the jade pillow sullenly, "I'm a little angry."

Chunwo was stunned for a while, "Don't be angry, it's not that we left you alone, but the officials took the medicine and drove everyone out. So I think he might like you, otherwise he can leave you alone, right?"

It's not right at all, Chunwo is always so kind and thinks of others very well.She said: "He just likes to grab things from Yunguan, the throne, women, everything. The queen mother is pressing hard, and he wants to use me as an excuse. He knows that I hate him, so he won't really have sex with him." The bridal chamber." She put the horn on her ear, "He doesn't like others to touch him, maybe it's really good for Long Yang. You find a way to find out for me to see if he has a favorite little yellow door, we can make a promise A lot of money, take it back for your own use."

"Haven't you given up yet?" Chunwo frowned, "Your every move is under his control."

"I am patient, and I will always seize the opportunity." She closed her eyes and muttered, "Can I defend myself forever? I will treat him better first, let him relax his vigilance, and then give him a head-on blow …Tomorrow, find a way to get Mrs. Jin to send a message to Mr. Cui. The officials know all about Jian’an, so Cui Zhuzi is the teacher of the Li family, and he must know. It is not wise for him to enter the palace now. I am afraid that the officials are holding The bamboo pole is waiting for him to take the bait. Let’s wait for the news in the city, and decide whether to go or stay later.”

Chunwo said it was too late, "He entered the palace on the second day of your wedding, and now he is a direct scholar in Tianzhang Pavilion."

So fast, probably the door of convenience is opened today!She put her hand on her forehead, thought for a while and said: "Then don't have any contact for now, I will mention it to the official in two days, and I will be honest, and it is better than asking him first. Mother doesn't know, I am a little bit Scared. He stared at me with both eyes, and I felt like I was going to reveal my secrets. It’s like when my father asked me to recite books when I was young, but I couldn’t recite them.”

Chunwo crossed his arms and patted her on the back, "Don't be afraid, we don't have only one way to go. It is difficult to go up the dangerous peak. If you feel tired, there is nothing wrong with stopping on the mountainside and looking at the sea of ​​clouds."

She didn't speak, and fell asleep leaning on her shoulder, her breathing was shallow, and she was a little childish.

Chunwo turned to look out the window, the sky was deep dark blue, the big moon seemed to be hanging on the grille window, like a brass mirror.However, there are more or less deep or shallow traces of corrosion. At first glance, it looks bleak, but gradually gives rise to some fear, which makes people feel horrified.

The next day Chiying came to see her and stood outside the threshold waiting for someone to pass on the news.She greeted her and said with a smile, "I've been very busy these days. I want to talk to you. I don't have time to talk to you. Let's talk about it today." Leading her into the Yongjin Palace, she told the female officer, "Add a mat for Mrs. Liang, Let's sit down and have tea."

Chi Ying seemed dissatisfied with the title of that lady, except for the queen, everyone in the harem was called a lady, even the imperial concubine.Why is the queen a saint? The habit of the big battle-axe is really different from that of Wu Rong.

"I still call you sister, will the saint be unhappy?" She tentatively asked her, then smiled shyly, "I'm afraid I'm a little too high?"

This question does not need to be answered by Yunhua, but by Shang Gong from Qingning Palace.Shang Gong has the obligation to persuade the queen's words and deeds, and it is naturally within the scope of responsibility to take care of the concubine.Xu Shanggong smiled slyly, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Although the lady is on good terms with the saint, once she enters the Forbidden Court, she must abide by the rules of the Forbidden Court. It is inappropriate to blurt out in front of the family, or the ladies below see it."

Jiying's face was filled with colors, and Zihua was afraid that she would not be able to get off the stage, so he hurriedly said: "Xu Shanggong said bluntly, don't take offense. We are sisters in private, and it doesn't matter. Where do you move now?"

Only then did Chiying smile, "I moved to the Yisheng Pavilion. It was originally a palace, but there are rules in the forbidden area. The concubine's residence is not called a palace, so it was changed to a pavilion." After receiving the tea presented by the maid, sipped He said, "I just came from Baoci Palace. The Empress Dowager is very interesting. She has ordered people to choose materials to make clothes for the emperor and grandson. Does the saint have a baby?"

Yun Hua couldn't help laughing, "Where is the little baby, the Queen Mother is too impatient."

"I think it's good to be ready, anyway, sooner or later." She leaned forward slightly and asked, "How well do the officials treat the saint? The women in the harem all envy the saint, saying that the queen is different after all. The family also needs to save some face."

She was full of envy, and she also had expectations after thinking about it.Yun Hua said it was okay, if she wanted to ask in detail, she would not be able to answer, so she took advantage of the situation and said: "You never know when the official will come to your pavilion. Whether he is good or not, you will know by getting along with him."

Chi Ying blushed, but was embarrassed to say any more.After drinking a cup of tea, he turned to say, "A new direct student has come to Tianzhang Pavilion, and he is good at painting paintings. When some ladies in the ban came to sit with me, they mentioned that the sixth day of June is Tiankuan Festival, and the palace Expose the red and green. The sage asks for a favor from the officials for the ladies, and asks that straight student to paint portraits for everyone."

Zi Hua guessed that she was talking about Cui Zhuyan, and even she knew about their relationship, so it became more and more certain that Yin Chongyuan couldn't hide it.However, there are quite a lot of conscientiousness. When will the women in the harem be able to let the painter paint at will?The palace rules are strict, and she, the newly appointed empress, doesn't know how to be polite, so she hastily made such a suggestion with the present, wouldn't she feel uncomfortable in the room?She often went in and out of Baoci Palace, why didn't she ask the Empress Dowager to show her, instead she went around to entrust her?
Yanhua pursed his lips and smiled, "Tiankuang Festival is a big festival where the dragon robes are displayed for the officials. If ladies want to ask for a portrait, they should first report to the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother nods, it will not be too late to ask the officials. "

Chi Yingchi stepped up, and said in a daze: "I didn't expect this level, please don't blame the sage."

She still had a calm expression on her face, and Brother Fo gave her Nao'e (a kind of headdress for women, cut into a butterfly shape from black gold paper and dyed with vermilion powder) to show her. She bowed her head and picked two of them and handed them to her, and then asked how to do it tomorrow Dressing up, "I just heard that there is a kind of satin that is especially valuable recently when I came to Dayaxe. It has an interesting name, it is called Tianxia Leyun, and it is specially rewarded for first-class dukes. Why am I acting weird? It turns out that it is a brocade with lantern patterns. The name of Yue people is really elegant."

Chi Ying said with a smile: "Yax people also like to wear flowers. They use silk to make crowns filled with flowers throughout the year, which is called a yearly scene. Court officials also wear flowers. It is very fashionable to put peonies in men's buns."

It just so happened that Ah Rong entered the palace with a pot of newly planted roses. Yonghua called her over, cut one off, pulled up the sleeves and put it on the high bun for Chiying hairpin. .”

Chiying hit a soft nail a few times, and some people were not right or left. She made hairpins for her.She regained a little face, but she was still upset after all, so she forced a few words of laughter, then got up and left.

Yun Hua sent her out, turned around and looked at Xu Shanggong, "The noble concubine is Princess Wurong, and she entered the palace not long ago, and her mother is too strict, which makes her feel uncomfortable."

Xu Shanggong graciously helped her back into the hall, and said with a smile: "The saint has a tender face, but the wicked should let the servants do it. The state has state laws, and the family has family rules. Take advantage of the beginning and make the rules, and it will be easy in the future. Although the noble concubine It is Princess Wu Rong, who is banned after being conferred by the official family. Taking the example of the outer court, the sage is the emperor, and she is the minister.

Zong Hua was just putting on a show, and he didn't want to have a reputation of being arrogant.He walked slowly to the front of the case, laid out the rice paper, dipped his pen in the ink, and wrote a full-faced Tian Kui.

Every year on the sixth day of June, both the forbidden court and the people celebrate Tiankuang Festival.This custom was handed down from the Tang Dynasty, and Buddhism calls it the Scripture-turning Festival.It is said that Master Xuanzang wet the scriptures while crossing the sea, and dried them on the sixth day of June. Later, this day was designated as an auspicious day.Tian Kuang Festival has many specialties. For example, married daughters can return home on this day, every household hangs clothes and books, and bathes humans and animals.

The years in the palace are quiet and good, and the ladies have a reason to be upright and happy when they come to festivals.There is a small river in the inner garden, which is dug out of the active spring. It is not very big, but it is winding and elegant.Early in the morning, the pavilions occupied the positions with basins. When the sun rose, the maids put on umbrellas, and they hid under the umbrellas to bathe the cats and dogs.

When Zi Hua went to Baoci Palace, he passed the Golden Bridge and stood there looking at it for a long time.Chunwo stood by and saw the envious look on her face, and asked in a low voice, "Does the sage want to participate?"

She regained her senses, and quickly straightened her face, "I don't want to participate, and I didn't come to the Yue Kingdom to play in the water."
