Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 57 One of the Ancients
Yan Cui didn't notice Shangguan Wanchun's expression, she still said to herself: "Miss, I just heard from the new maid that Xiangxuehai is not another name of plum blossom, but a woman's name. It is said that He was the emperor's deepest love back then, and he named the plum forest Xiangxuehai to please her. And if you are lucky enough to enjoy the plum scenery in the snow, you will live a happy life, and if you can get a plum blossom, you can even Stay with your sweetheart for the rest of your life!"

Seeing the look in Yan Cui's eyes, Shangguan Wanchun shook her head lightly, she couldn't understand the rigidity of the ancients, could it be possible to judge whether a person is happy or not just by a plum blossom?Is it possible to win the love of a man?To this, she just smiled.It's just that what she hasn't realized is that she is already one of the ancients now.

"Miss, wait for servant girl!" Yan Cui came back to her senses only to realize that Shangguan Wanchun had already walked a long way, she ran up and shouted unconsciously.

Sishi, Kunyu Palace.

"Everyone is here, why don't we go to the backyard to enjoy the plum blossoms first." The queen said with a smile.

"Okay." The rest of the people responded one after another.

In fact, Shangguan Wanchun didn't expect that she was the last one to arrive, so everyone looked at her with a little bit of displeasure, but she didn't care about it, and her expression was very indifferent.

"Zhaohua, come to the front and join Xi'er." The queen said suddenly.

"Yes, queen mother." Shangguan Wanchun saluted respectfully, then walked slowly to Yu Haoxi's side, and nodded to her with a smile.

And although Yu Haoxi didn't like Shangguan Wanchun very much in her heart, she still politely returned the gift on the face, but in the depths of her eyes, Shangguan Wanchun saw the disgust.

At an instant, a group of people walked towards the Xiangxuehai in the backyard.

Shangguan Wanchun thought that the plum blossoms that the empress spoke of meant that it was a cold day. Everyone stood in the cold wind and admired the plum blossoms in the yard, but when she got the backyard, she realized how naive and ridiculous her thinking was!Since we are here to appreciate the plum blossoms, how can we let everyone freeze in the wind?

Even Shangguan Wanchun, who has seen modern advanced technology, can't help but be amazed at the scene in front of him. How many people's wisdom and sweat were gathered to build such a magnificent transparent greenhouse viewing room!
A few hundred steps away, at the other end of the viewing room is the entrance of the plum blossom forest, and this transparent viewing room does not affect the plum blossom forest at all, and everyone can still clearly see the white snowflakes. Dotted with faint red plum blossoms, it's just that you can't smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

For a moment, except for the queen and Yu Haoxi, everyone looked at the front in shock, their mouths were all opened into a big O-shape, even if they stuffed two eggs, it was more than enough.They are not the same, some are envious, some are jealous, and what's more, there is a deep hatred on their faces, as if wishing that all these good things belong to her.

Shangguan Wanchun, on the other hand, admired the different expressions on everyone's faces with a mood that had nothing to do with her, and subconsciously shook her head.

And the queen walked with a high posture from beginning to end, looking at everyone with aloofness, showing her noble status.

She smiled and said, "Everyone, please sit down in the room first."

The sudden sound brought everyone back to their senses, and followed the queen into the viewing room.

You must know that for so many years, only the queen and her own children can come to Xiangxuehai to see the plum blossoms, and without the queen's order, no one can come here.But the empress has never shown any kindness to let the concubines in the harem come to the backyard for so many years, let alone come here to enjoy the plum blossoms.So for them, this is their first time to Xiangxuehai, and all of this is thanks to Shangguan Wanchun!

"Everyone sit down." The Empress said with an invariable smile after she sat down on the main seat.

"Yes."

"Although today is plum appreciation, it is also a small gathering. Don't be cautious, you must eat, drink, and have fun!" Then the queen turned to look at Shangguan Wanchun and said, "Zhaohua, you are new to the palace. It can be regarded as a cleansing for you."

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Shangguan Wanchun got up and said respectfully.

The queen smiled slightly, then turned her head and winked at the nurse beside her.

After a while, a waiter came in with trays of delicious pastries and put them on everyone's table.

Although the pastry had a slight sweet-scented osmanthus flavor, it didn't look like a sweet-scented osmanthus cake. For a moment, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what it was made of.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, the empress was very satisfied, and then said: "This is made from the plum blossoms and the snow water from the pistils of the plum blossoms just collected this morning. See how it tastes?" The queen picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

Seeing the empress savoring the newly made pastries, which looked delicious, everyone's hearts were ready to move, and they reached out to pick up a piece of pastry and began to eat slowly.

It melts in the mouth, light and sweet, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth. It is indeed delicious in the world, and it is a good product!It's just too extravagant.Shangguan Wanchun exclaimed while eating.

After the dessert, the main event hits.

"Empress, it's rare that all the sisters are here today, why don't we play the game of beating drums and passing flowers, so as to add color to this beautiful and delicious food!" Yuan Concubine suggested.

"That's a good idea!" Ning Bin agreed.

"Mother, since today is plum blossom appreciation, why don't we use plum blossoms as the theme, whoever passes the flowers to will write a poem, how about that?" Yu Haoxi looked at the empress with a coquettish smile and said.

Without waiting for the empress to speak, one of the concubines interrupted and said: "Not everyone can compose poems. Why don't you choose one of song, dance, and poetry, and choose the one you are best at. As long as it revolves around plum blossoms, empress, you Say?"

At first, the queen was displeased because she was interrupted, but soon she changed into the smile she had just said, "This is a good idea. In my opinion, why don't you just leave it like this, what do you think?"

Seeing the empress kicking the ball back again, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all got up and said, "Yes, the empress alone is in charge!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, the queen nodded with satisfaction, and said to Concubine Yuan, "Concubine Yuan, why don't you be the drummer today."

"Yes, empress." Concubine Yuan stood up and said respectfully with a smile.

Feeling the atmosphere in the room, Shangguan Wanchun always had an ominous feeling vaguely, but she couldn't explain why, so she could only raise her spirits.

Unfortunately, the first person to receive the flowers was Shangguan Wanchun!

"Princess Zhaohua, congratulations! Do you choose to compose a poem, sing a song, or dance?" Yuan Bin said with a smile.

Shangguan Wanchun smiled wryly in her heart, she really thought of something, she really didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse!I'm sorry, ancient sages, I'm afraid I have to borrow your masterpiece today.Shangguan Wanchun said in her heart.

She got up slowly, saluted, and said: "Zhaohua is not talented, write a poem."

She pondered for a moment, opened her red lips, looked at the plum blossoms outside the window and said lightly, "The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring. It is already a cliff with hundreds of feet of ice, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches.

Qiao does not fight for spring, but only reports the coming of spring.When the flowers were in full bloom, she laughed in the bushes. "

"Good poetry!" Han Jieyu applauded first.

Yu Haoxi did not expect that Shangguan Wanchun would have such a talent for writing, and he couldn't help but admire her with admiration.

Several people received flowers one after another, some sang a song, some danced lightly, and some wrote a poem.

The drumming and passing of flowers continued, whether it was intentional or by coincidence, the person who received the flowers this time was Han Jieyu.

It's just that she has always been good at dancing, would she choose something else?
Concubine Yuan put down the drumstick in her hand, turned around, looked at the flower pistil in Han Jieyu's hand, smiled pretending to be surprised, and said, "Ah, what a coincidence, this flower is in the hands of our so-called dancing god. You can feast your eyes on it.”

As she spoke, she looked at Han Jieyu with a smile, raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a provocative look, as if asking: Do you want to dance this dance or not?

Seeing that Han Jieyu was not moved at all, she stood up leisurely, walked to the center and stood still, bowed slightly and said: "Empress, my concubine is pregnant, I'm afraid I can't dance today, please forgive me, Empress. "

"Oh?" The queen was taken aback for a moment, and then said with concern: "In this case, Han Jieyu doesn't have to dance anymore, the heir is important, get up quickly."

"Empress, the rules can't be broken. Since you can't dance, can you choose other things?" Yuan Concubine said persistently.

"There are exceptions to everything. Sister Han is pregnant, so naturally she needs to take more care of her." Concubine Ning continued.
