After wearing the book, Ben Gong lay down all the way to win

Chapter 437
At night, the Hangzhou Palace is so quiet as a pool of spring water and blue waves.

Nanny Rong came to Linglong with a plate of Longxu Cake, and said with a smile, "Mother, this is the most famous snack in Hangzhou, you can try it."

Linglong saw that the dragon's beard crispy candy was white and slender, like the beard of an auspicious dragon, so she picked up a piece and tasted it, it was really good.

She ate slowly, and asked casually, "Is everything arranged?"

Nanny Rong nodded and said, "It's all arranged."

Linglong smiled softly: "This palace is in charge of the affairs of the middle palace. The queen mother once said that as a queen, one must learn to govern the harem by doing nothing. Some things can be done by others, so there is no need to dirty your hands. "

Mother Rong said: "Yes, Your Majesty is a body of gold and jade, and with Concubine Hui doing the work for you, you naturally don't have to be involved in those filthy and scheming things."

Linglong took a sip of Longjing to ease the sweetness of Longxusu, and said with a smile: "Your Huo is all about taking advantage of the beautiful scenery of the West Lake to dance and regain his favor, but he doesn't know that the mantis is catching the cicada, and the oriole is behind. She drank from a jug."

Grandma Rong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Shengming, everything is within your expectations. The Huo nobleman wants to regain favor, let alone the door, even the windows are sealed."

Linglong Man smiled Yiyi: "I really want to see Huo Guiren turn into a drowned chicken, it must be very beautiful!"

That night, the emperor accompanied the empress dowager, empress dowager, and other princes and ministers to drink and enjoy the scenery in the West Lake, which was very pleasant.

In order to curry favor with the emperor, the accompanying officials replaced the servants with young women who were quiet and graceful.

The south of the Yangtze River is known as the scenic spot of heaven, with osmanthus seeds in three autumns, lotus flowers in ten miles, beautiful flowers everywhere, and silk bamboos full of ears.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as good as the Jiangnan woman who "the people around me are like the moon, and the white wrists are covered with frost and snow".

The most typical Jiangnan beauty is Lin Daiyu, and Cao Xueqin is extremely romantic towards her: "Two eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy, and when you are quiet, you are like a beautiful flower shining in the water, and when you move, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind. .”

The accompanying concubines, although there are many beauties, are still a little less charming in front of the Jiangnan woman with fair skin, slender figure, charming smile and Wu Nong's soft words.

The emperor's best taste was this one. Seeing so many beauties around him, he sighed: "Northern rouge, after all, is not as good as Jiangnan gold powder."

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines changed their colors.

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "What the emperor said is very true. There are many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. I know that the emperor loves the wind and lotus in the Quyuan and the snow on the broken bridge in the West Lake. However, the south of the Yangtze River is vast and full of scenery. I can't spend all my time in Hangzhou, so It’s hard to see the scenery of wind lotus leaves in Quyuan, but Ai’s family is thinking, since we’ve come here, we have to see it before we leave.”

After finishing speaking, the empress dowager clapped her hands lightly twice.

I saw the lake surface began to fluctuate, slowly drifting past pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves.

The lotus and lotus leaves are not real flowers, but finely cut from turquoise silk and pink satin, floating in the lake, reflecting the moonlit night scene, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, as real as it is illusory.

The Empress Dowager saw the lotus blooming in the spring, and her mood fluctuated like a tide, but she thought of the spring many years ago, when Emperor Xiaozong loved his dead concubine, and on her birthday on April [-]th, he prepared a lake full of lotus flowers for her to celebrate her birthday. Extremely beloved!
Even though Concubine Lan lost to her in the palace fight and ended up dismal, he still envied her.

I envy her that although she is a substitute for her sister, she has also received Xiaozong's love, unlike her, she has nothing but power.
