Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 19

Murong Xue was sitting in the sedan chair carried by Shiliu, listening to the sound of firecrackers and drums and flutes outside, she still couldn't believe it.This is not a dream.She pinched the back of her hand quietly, ah, it was so sweet.

She laughed silently, her eyes rolled around, and her eyes were a mass of joyful red. The car was covered with a red carpet, and the round fan covering her knees was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. It looks silky and soft, like petals blown by the spring breeze.

She smiled contentedly, and finally her dream came true and she married the one she loved.The only fly in the ointment is being a side concubine, but life can be perfect, as long as you can marry him, nothing is regrettable.

This time Zhao Zhenniang was really helpful. In order to be worthy of King Zhaoyang, she regarded Murong Xue as a righteous sister. Prince Yang's Mansion can be regarded as an extremely beautiful and respectable marriage.

She never cared about these red tapes, nor did she mind the ostentation, as long as she could marry him.Thinking of his appearance, she was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, giggling in the sedan chair by herself.

The sedan chair stopped, did it arrive at Prince Zhaoyang's Mansion?
When the curtain was lifted, a quiet and pleasant smell came in, and the person she had been thinking about all the time appeared in front of her eyes.

Yeluyan wore a crimson red robe, a golden crown and a jade belt, and was tall and tall, graceful and handsome as if he were a banished immortal.She smiled even more happily, as if she had gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to obtain the scriptures, and he was finally hers.

He frowned, why did this girl smile like this, her straight eyes seemed to be looking at a prey in her hand, he held her hand and lifted it forward in displeasure.The bride's round fan is used to cover her face, not to be touched on her knees.

When she came to her senses, she quickly covered her face with a round fan, and helped him get off the sedan chair.Even a round fan couldn't cover her pursed lips, he was really speechless, couldn't he restrain himself a bit?

I have worshiped heaven and earth in the main hall of the palace.Yeluyan went to greet the guests.Although she married a side concubine, because the bride is the righteous sister of Concubine Zhao Shu, who is the most popular nowadays, some officials in the court did not dare to be sloppy, and the court was crowded with presents and congratulations.

There is no concubine in the palace. In the past, it was Zhaoyang King's wet nurse, Mrs. Liu, who was in charge, and she could be regarded as half the master.

After Yeluyan left, Mrs. Liu and a group of bridesmaids hugged Murong Xue and left the main hall, heading for the new house.

Murong Xue was in a good mood. Even though she was wearing a long skirt that dragged the floor and her movements were not very convenient, she still had a feeling of being as light as a swallow and walking in the clouds like a fairy.

Mrs. Liu was originally the dowry maid of Zhaoyang Queen Mother and Concubine, and later his wet nurse. She has a certain status in the palace, dignified and generous.In private, Murong Xue even thought that this was her half-mother-in-law, Ai Wu Ji Wu, who smiled very sweetly at her.

Dazed by her smile, Mrs. Liu thought to herself, after all, it's because of her different background, compared to that one, it's a world of difference.While leading the way, she introduced the layout of the palace to her.

Going in along the Chaoshou veranda, passing through several hanging flower gates, you arrive at the back garden, where beautiful trees are verdant and flowers are blooming like brocades.The rockery is tall and straight, with a majestic momentum, and a clear stream winds out of it, and the water is clear to the bottom.Following the stream to the depths of the garden, there is another door with hanging flowers, which seems to be the end of the back garden.But after going out of the Chuihua Gate, there is another hole in the sky. A jade bridge is in front of you. When you climb the bridge, you will see another scene in front of you.Behind the Yushi Bridge is an exquisite and elegant lake with rippling blue waves and weeping willows.

Murong Xue not only admired the size of the Zhaoyang Palace.Looking around, there are several small buildings built along the lake, all of which are exquisite and exquisite Jiangnan style.

"This is the fourth hall of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum."

This house is not only beautiful, but also bears the name of the Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum Pavilion. Wintersweet, orchid grass, prunus bamboo, and chrysanthemums are planted in the front and back of the house.It's a pity that it's not the blooming season of plum and chrysanthemum, but the lush greenery in front of the bamboo pavilion is very elegant and leisurely.But there are bright red lanterns hanging in front of the gate of the Meiguan, and the red carpet is spread on the ground, which is obviously much more festive than the other four pavilions.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "My lord specially chose the Plum Pavilion among the four plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum pavilions as my wife's residence, saying that it fits the artistic conception of my wife's name."

Murong Xue smiled sweetly, thinking happily that he still cares about herself a bit.

After entering the Plum Pavilion, she immediately fell in love with it. The layout is exquisite yet extravagant. On the left and right of the main hall are the study room and bedroom, as well as the piano room, studio, bathroom, and the maid's residence and patio behind it.There is a plum forest in front of and behind the house.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Murong Xue couldn't help but look forward to the snow. At that time, the plum blossoms in front of the window covered the snow, the faint fragrance floated, and she cooked wine in a red stove. What a beautiful and elegant scene it must be.The two maids in Meiguan are named Shuying and Anxiang, which also coincides with the artistic conception of Meiguan.It can be seen that Yeluyan is an elegant person.

The bedroom is even more exquisite and gorgeous. Dressing table, beauty couch, red sandalwood wardrobe, rose chair, everything makes people feel comfortable and like it.Against the east wall stands a finely carved gem-inlaid ivory bed covered with a bright red brocade embroidered quilt.The embroidered tent is covered with pearls, and when it is put down, it is like a curtain of spring rain.

Xi Niang put the Xipa on the bed, and put peanuts, red dates and other things, Murong Xue looked at it, and suddenly blushed.

In addition to Shuying and Anxiang's two big maids, Mrs. Liu also assigned four young maids to Meiguan, named Luxi, Hongran, Zizhu, and Jiangyun.After the arrangement was settled, Liu said: "Madam, please rest first. If you are hungry, I will ask An Xiang and Shu Ying to prepare cakes for you. If you have any orders, just ask, the old man will leave first."

Murong Xue nodded with a smile.Mrs. Liu took Xi Niang and left first, leaving her maid to wait on her.

"Madam, please have some tea." An Xiang offered the tea.Murong Xue was also a little thirsty during the journey, so she picked up the pastel plum blossom teacup and took a sip of the tea.

Shu Ying watched from the side, only to feel that this concubine Murong's appearance was unsurpassed, needless to say, her every move had a romantic and elegant charm.Those white and slender fingers casually held the pastel plum blossom teacup. The ten fingers were slender and shaped like orchids. The pale pink nails were brighter and more beautiful than the pastel plum blossoms on the teacup. Endless charm.

An Xiang was also obsessed with watching, and thought: It is said that there are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reputation is really well-deserved.It's a pity that this amazement was instantly shattered the moment Murong Xue spoke.Sure enough, no one is perfect, and nothing is perfect, but such an alluring beauty has a male duck voice, which sounds rough like sand fighting.

"This bracelet is for you." Murong Xue took off a pair of jade bracelets from her hands and gave them to Shuying and Anxiang respectively.She has always been generous, and has no feelings for money. When she first came to the palace, she was alone and had no relatives. The two maids in front of her regarded them as her own.

There are very few girls who don't like jewelry, and this pair of jade bracelets is something from the palace, they are extraordinary at first glance, Shu Ying and An Xiang were overjoyed, and immediately fell in love with this generous master.

Murong Xue is a straightforward person who can't hide things in her heart, and she is full of curiosity about everything about Yeluyan. Seeing that Shuying and Anxiang are domestic servants in the palace, she can't wait to ask.

Shuying Anxiang naturally had a heart of awe and flattery towards the current only real hostess in the palace, and she immediately knew everything she wanted to say.

"My lord usually lives in the Yintao Pavilion on the east side of the back garden, and the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum hall by the mirror lake is dedicated to housing the beauties that others gave to the lord."

Before An Xiang could finish her sentence, Murong Xue's eyes widened in disbelief, "What did you say? Is there a woman here, my lord?"

An Xiang nodded, thinking, what's so strange about this.It is said that there are more than 120 concubines in the emperor's palace. Isn't it normal for a prince to have a woman, but he is not a monk.

Murong Xue originally had a sweet smile on her face, but after hearing An Xiang's kindly revealed inside and outside information, her bright smile froze on her face, and the originally watery flower instantly blew into the air. Turned into a dried flower.Ever since Yuan Chenglie told her that Yeluyan was never married, she took it for granted that he was still a virgin, and never even thought that he would ever have a woman.

An Xiang kindly reminded again: "Because the current emperor has no children, many people in the court are fawning on the prince, and there are many beauties."

Murong Xue asked with difficulty: "Does the lord want it?"

Dim Fragrance replied with an embarrassed dry smile.

Why not, the prince is young and powerful, and the beauties are charming.It's just that he is born with a cold personality and affection, and he has never seen anyone he likes. Those beauties are all passing by in a hurry, and no one stays behind.

When Murong Xue heard this, her eyes almost fell out.How could it be possible, how could Yeluyan be a lecherous person, that night she took the initiative to seduce him, but he didn't move, Liu Xiahui was so outrageous.She didn't believe that he was such a person. Everyone must have misunderstood him.Those beauties must still be virgins, they just lived here for a few days.Thinking of this, she had a sense of mission to set things right.She will prove with facts that her husband is a gentleman, not a flirtatious dude.

She spent days and years waiting for his arrival, but unfortunately, the mirror lake was too far away from the front hall, and she didn't know if the banquet over there was over.Those who came to drink really didn't look at it, it's getting dark, why don't you go back, don't you know that a moment of wedding night in the bridal chamber is worth a thousand gold?

"Ma'am, let's have something to eat first."

Murong Xue was so hungry that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she ate some cakes,
Until the willow tip on the moon, Yeluyan was not seen.An Xiang sent Lu Xi to the front hall, and when she came back, she said that the banquet had not ended yet, so Murong Xue had no choice but to continue to wait, this day she was sleepy and exhausted, she dozed off at the table after a while.

After sleeping for a while, I suddenly woke up.The jade leak ticked, she got up and pushed the window to look out, the moonlight was very good, sprinkled on the lake, sparkling blue waves.The plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum pavilions are connected by wooden bridges to form a long corridor, and a wind lantern is hung on the mast every few steps. The night is heavy with dew, and the lights dimly reflect the wooden corridor. Turning up and down, there is a feeling of being in a fairyland in a trance, ethereal and remote.

The night in the north is different from that in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is the end of spring, there is still a bit of chill in the evening wind. After standing for a while, she felt a little cold all over her body. Just as she was about to close the window, she saw a figure appearing there. On the Qingshi bridge, walking towards this side under the moonlight.

The wind on the lake swelled his sleeves. Even under the moonlight, his tall figure and outstanding demeanor couldn't conceal a sense of aloofness and aloofness.He walked down the stone bridge, stepped onto the wooden corridor, and came slowly from the misty lights and mist, as if he had stepped down from the fairyland.
