Qing Palace - Biography of Concubine Wan

Chapter 88 The Depth of Joy (4)

Lovesickness turns into tears...Meeting becomes empty...Love turns into hate...

A trace of unreasonable confusion and anxiety suddenly appeared in the originally peaceful and warm heart. What do these three sentences refer to? Is it one person or three people? Are they the three people I saw in my dream?

Forget it, since you can't figure it out, then don't think about it, maybe it's just a dream, just a dream!

After a while, Fulin, whose chin was resting on her head, suddenly moved. He lowered his head and sniffed Qingru's neck, frowned slightly and said, "What did you put on your body, such a fragrance?"

Qingru shook her head in surprise and said, "The concubine didn't put on face powder today, what kind of fragrance does the emperor smell?"

Fulin closed his eyes and savored carefully: "There is some orchid fragrance in it."

After saying this, Qingru immediately understood, smiled softly and said: "What kind of incense powder is it? It's the scent of my concubine's hair. I just washed my hair last night, so the scent is still there!" This is Jiuhui Balm The beauty of this is that as long as it is used, its unique fragrance can stay on the hair for a long time, and it will not be removed easily. It is clear that it has been used for some time, and the fragrance has already penetrated into the hair, so there will be hair The faint fragrance emanates, as if there is nothing there, making people want to smell it even after smelling it.

Fulin leaned closer and smelled it, and sure enough, he found that the fragrance emanated from his hair, faint as blue, he stroked Qingru's combed long hair, thought of something, immersed in his own thoughts, and waited for Qingru to scream He came back to his senses a few times and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that she didn't hear what she said, Qingru had no choice but to repeat: "The concubine is asking the emperor if you want to eat with the concubine before leaving. If so, the concubine will ask someone to go to the imperial dining room to inform me now!"

Fulin suddenly patted himself on the forehead and said: "Look at my memory, I only focus on talking to you and forget everything." Then he smiled and said: "You have already been promoted to the concubine, the servant in the palace Naturally, it should be added according to the etiquette system. If I have time today, I will ask Chang Xi to bring a few people from the House of Internal Affairs. If you see a few of them, I will keep them with a closed eye. As for the other thing, I will take you to see them. Alone, let’s not talk about it, I’ll tell you after you have dinner with me, but I promise you will be happy to see you!” Seeing how mysterious he is, he must be unwilling to tell himself in advance, Qing Ru He pursed his lips and smiled without asking.

He followed Fulin out of the inner hall, and went outside again, the hall was still empty, all the servants were waiting outside, Fulin called out: "Chang Xi!"

Immediately there were quick and light footsteps outside, Chang Xi entered the hall and bowed his head respectfully: "The servant is here!"

"Bring those people in and let Concubine Wan take a look!" Fu Lin held Qing Ru's hand and sat down together.

"Cha!" Chang Xi responded and backed out. After a while, he came in again, followed by a group of people, including court ladies and eunuchs. After entering, he first greeted Fulin and Qingru, and then stood quietly. Waiting on the side.

"Huh!" Qingru just glanced at it, then fixed her eyes there, and let out a slight surprise in her mouth. She actually found a few familiar people inside, two of whom were from the palace when she first entered the palace. From time to time, Qiuyue and Qiurong, who were dedicated to serving these beautiful girls in Zhongcui Palace, and the other person was Xiangyuan, the aunt who was in charge at the time. Later, she was transferred to work beside Dong E Xianglan. He was also transferred from Chengqian Palace and returned to the House of Internal Affairs to wait for assignment.

At that moment, she left her seat, walked towards Xiangyuan and said with a smile, "Auntie, we meet again!"

She called out so politely, but Xiangyuan didn't dare to take it for granted. He knelt down in a panic and said, "Your Majesty is so polite, you're going to kill your servants!" Qingru supported her and said, "It's okay, when you were in Zhongcui Palace that day, you too Take care of me, get up!" After she stood up straight, she continued, "Would you like to come to my palace to do something?" In fact, as early as in the Zhongcui Palace, she had already treated Xiangyuan, a prudent and witty man. He kept his mind on it, originally thinking that he would try to transfer him to his side after he was promoted, but he didn't expect that so many unexpected things would happen later, and it was only by chance today that he had a chance.

When she asked like this, no one would be so stupid as to say no, Xiangyuan said meekly: "I will obey your mother's orders for everything."

Hearing her promise, Qingru Zhanyan took her hand and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Xiangyuan be the aunt in charge of the concubine's palace, anyway, she has always been doing this before, and the concubine can trust her!"

Fulin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since you like it, it's up to you, and you can choose a few others."

Qingru first named Qiuyue and Qiurong. She knew that the two of them had been working under Xiangyuan before.

Then I selected a few people with honest faces and light hands and feet. As for those whose eyes rolled around, they all retreated.

In this way, there are four maids and four eunuchs left in total, added to the original people in her palace, so there are already 13 people who can be ordered, and they have also fulfilled the ostentation that being a concubine should have.

Seeing that she had chosen someone, Fulin waved Chang Xi to take the others away, and at the same time told him to go to the imperial dining room and say that today's lunch will be delivered to Chonghua Palace.

Fulin and Qingru stayed for a while longer, and it was time to eat. The emperor's meal was extremely exquisite, and there were also many dishes and bowls. There were nine dishes of cold dishes alone, and nine of them were used in the royal family because they I firmly believe that this is the most suitable for the noble status of the emperor.

There are nine dishes of cold dishes, eighteen dishes of hot dishes, five dishes of desserts, and five kinds of fruits. All the corresponding dishes are served in various bowls and dishes, and the table is full. This is Fulin's dislike of extravagance Waste, the result of trying to save trouble, otherwise the emperor would eat more than this amount.

Fulin wanted Qingru to sit down and have a meal with him, but due to etiquette, Qingru did not dare to agree. According to the ancestral system, only the empress among concubines is eligible to eat at the same table with the emperor. Concubine, it is also possible, but the name is not right, and the same is true for sleeping.

In the end, Chang Xi came up with an idea to set up a small table in front of the main table and let Qingru sit there. The delicious dishes in front of her were distributed to Qingru, but Qingru was a little absent-minded about eating this meal. She kept thinking about the surprise that Fulin just said, not knowing who the person she was going to meet at the meeting was.

After finally running out of food, under Qingru's repeated requests, Shan Fulin finally led her to the imperial garden with a smirk on her face, winding along the secluded path, with the grass rustling under her feet, the two of them One after another, they came to the leaning bamboo pavilion in the garden. After sitting down, Fulin appeased Qingru. After sitting down, with a slight smile on his lips, he struck his palms three times, and the applause just fell. The figure flashed out from behind the flowers, went to the pavilion and kowtowed: "I kowtow to the emperor, kowtow to the concubine Wan!"
