Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 214
Officer Tao spoke seriously, and Yu Moying listened even more seriously.

"Ah, what should I do then?" Her eyes rolled quickly on the street, and she hurriedly said: "I hope the lady officer will give you advice, Ah Ying will definitely remember your kindness in the future."

"This... there is a way." Mistress Tao hesitated for a moment, then let go: "It's just..."

"It's just what, my lady, please tell me, I'm new here and I don't understand anything. If I lose face as soon as I enter the palace, then I'm really sorry for His Royal Highness Yu." Yu Moying's eyes were full of Remorse and guilt.

The more anxious she was, the more proud Ms. Tao was.

After a while, Officer Tao coughed dryly, and said helplessly: "Okay, this servant sees that I have a special affinity with the girl, so I will help the girl for a while. You know, no matter how valuable things in this world are, they are not as good as something that suits your mother's wishes." it is good?"

Yu Moying was stunned for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with her words.

Tao Nuguan continued: "The servant has been with the empress for so many years, so she knows her preferences very clearly. This empress is very keen on the Suzhou embroidery in the southern region. The servant wants to present the empress with a pair of high-quality Suzhou embroidery. , I have been embroidering a screen since ten months ago."

"The servant girl embroidered to thank the mother for her care for many years, and spent all the accumulated monthly cases on it. The silk thread and fabrics used are all high-quality. This is not just right. The work that was completed the day before yesterday was done by the girl today. You caught up."

"If the girl doesn't dislike it, even if you take this slave girl's phoenix nirvana picture, although the slave girl's embroidery is not outstanding, it can be used as a birthday celebration for the empress, and it can barely pass."

Mistress Tao's words sounded old-fashioned and warm-hearted to others, but Yu Moying closed her eyes slightly.

However, she didn't let Officer Tao notice it, so she said earnestly: "That's the lady officer's heart for Concubine Lin, how can Ah Ying take the credit from you. Otherwise, I'd better go to the shop on the street to have a look Bar."

When Officer Tao heard this, she became anxious.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." She said hastily: "If the girl feels wronged by the servant, it is better to reward the servant with the money used to buy the gift. In this way, the servant can be regarded as compensation."

"That makes sense, thank you, lady officer." Yu Moying tilted her head, smiled brightly, and handed the entire purse to Officer Tao.

Later, she felt that giving so much money was not enough, so she took out a few gold necklaces from her sleeves and stuffed them in them.

Mistress Tao also took it with a smile, but she was calling her stupid in her heart.

Yu Moying followed Lady Tao to the palace, and was led to wait in a pavilion first.

Before the flower appreciation dinner started, Officer Tao asked her to wait for her here first, and went to get her the stunning screen by herself.

Twilight had already appeared in the sky, and in the imperial garden, there were female relatives greeting each other.

Yu Moying was alone when she first arrived, but she didn't feel too lonely, so she just walked around by herself and looked around.

The three female family members who passed by her all looked at her suspiciously.

"Which princess or madam is this, why haven't I seen it before?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it either."

Two aristocratic female family members held silk flower fans and whispered. Afterwards, a third female family member also joined their conversation, as if thinking of something surprising, she pretended to say, "I should know."

"What is it, tell me quickly." The other two couldn't hold back their curiosity, and hurriedly pushed her arm.

"Maybe she is the woman brought back from Xiye Kingdom by His Royal Highness King Yu in the legend. Otherwise, we almost all have impressions of the people here. Why don't we have any impression of her?" The third female relative said mysteriously. Said.

The other two female relatives couldn't help but tilt their heads, and sized Yu Moying from top to bottom.The beauty of this young girl is above that of many women, but like the legend, they all think that this possibility may be true.

Yu Moying got tired of listening to other people's pointing and pointing, so she walked around the path next to her.

The varieties of flowers in the back garden of Beiming Palace are different from those in Huaxi Kingdom. Due to the climate, some flowers cannot be grown.

However, this still does not affect the splendor of the entire garden.As long as you sit in any pavilion, you will see a sea of ​​flowers.

Sitting in each pavilion, the colors and shapes of the sea of ​​flowers are still different, which can be described as ten steps and one scene.

Yu Moying sniffed the fragrance of these flowers and felt very comfortable, so she thought of sitting in another pavilion to enjoy the flowers.

But when she heard the conversation of several female relatives in the same pavilion, she still hesitated for a while, not thinking about admiring the flowers.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Yu is coming back this time, and His Majesty is planning to marry him and Princess Yunhua."

"Really? It is said that His Royal Highness King Yu seems to dote on the woman he brought back. Will he agree to marry Princess Yunyang?"

"You are stupid, although that woman used to be the princess of Huaxi Kingdom, but now she is not only the daughter of a criminal minister, but also let the king of Huaxi Kingdom send troops to Xiye for her, such a demon girl, His Royal Highness Yu Wang is at most I will be fascinated for a while, and I will not consider marrying her."

……

Yu Moying listened to all of these verbatim, and in the next moment, decided to throw all their words into obscurity.

Maybe if He Lianyu marries someone else, he won't put his mind on her, and she can leave without any worries.

"Miss Yu, why did you come here? This servant is still looking for you in the original pavilion." At this time, Lady Tao hurried over, and behind her were several guards helping to carry a long sandalwood wooden box.

The words of Lady Tao reminded the surrounding female family members that there is no prince or general in Beiming Kingdom with the surname Yu.As soon as they heard the surname of the girl in front of them was Yu, they immediately connected Yu Moying with the rumored girl.

Most of their eyes were occupied by probing elements, wanting to see what kind of capital the woman who could win He Lianyu's favor and bring back back at all costs had.

Yu Moying ignored their visit, she just looked at the sandalwood box and thought, this is probably the screen of the phoenix nirvana she mentioned.

Immediately, she smiled and said, "I'm bored sitting alone, so I just want to go for a walk. The embroidery work of the lady officer must be very delicate."

"It's not like me, who is clumsy and doesn't know how to embroider. In the past, I never touched needlework in the mansion." She was a little annoyed as she spoke.

Her eyes were fixed on the sandalwood box, and Mistress Tao understood it, "It's not very delicate, but the servant knows what the empress likes, so the girl doesn't have to worry that the empress won't like it."

This girl doesn't know needlework, that's right.There was a smile in the corner of Mistress Tao's eyes, and she led her behind a rockery, opened the sandalwood box, opened the screen completely, and set it up in front of her.

"Miss, you can rest assured now." Officer Tao proudly showed her the screen.

Yu Moying took a look, her eyes showed envy.

She put her hand on the screen and walked around every position. I have to say that the workmanship of this screen is first-class.From what she saw in Huaxi Kingdom's court, it should have taken several days for the top embroiderers to embroider.

The fabric of the screen is moonlight brocade, and there is a lifelike phoenix on it, flying high. In the daytime, there are several rays of light emitting from it, let alone at night, I don’t know what kind of brilliance ripples.

"Girl, there are a lot of people here. This servant will help you put away the screen first. After the meeting, at the banquet, you will send it out after the other women's families have all presented gifts." Lady Tao quickly closed the screen without letting her see below. Put it back in the sandalwood box.

The moment she bowed her head, Yu Moying's eyes sharpened suddenly.

When it was time for the dinner, all the female family members gathered in the center of the imperial garden and sat down in their respective seats.

The palace people led Yu Moying to a seat at the side and at the back, because she did not have a proper identity after all.

However, Yu Moying felt that this was just right, and it was not easy to be noticed by others.After sitting down, she looked up at the night.

It was a new day, and the moon was completely covered by the clouds, only the corners and corners of the moon were exposed.The imperial garden is not affected by the moonlight, it is a brightly lit area.

During the spare time waiting for Concubine Lin to come, she also heard people say that today, Helian Yuyang might come to celebrate Concubine Lin's birthday in person after finishing his political affairs.

Helian Yuyang, when Yu Moying thought of this name, the face of the Empress Dowager Yue could not help appearing in her mind.

The silk and bamboo orchestra sounded, and the court musicians also joined the seats.

Not long after, with the voice of the palace servant, "Concubine Lin has arrived", everyone's eyes turned away.

Surrounded by dozens of palace people, a woman in a splendid attire stepped into the banquet and sat down at the front.

Yu Moying took a few glances at the woman, and felt that like a son, like a mother.Concubine Lin's appearance was somewhat similar to He Lianchen's.Although she is He Lianchen's mother, it seems that she is only a few years older than him.

Concubine Lin's chin was pointed, perhaps she hadn't been exposed to the sun all year round, her complexion was much paler than that of ordinary women.

From the time she came in, a young woman had been standing beside her.

The woman had a graceful figure and a good temperament, but she turned her head towards Concubine Lin, and her face could not be seen clearly from behind, and after Concubine Lin sat down, she retreated behind the side curtain.

Others can only judge from her clothes and behavior that she is not an ordinary person.

Concubine Lin had just arrived, so she first said that she, the master, was late and kept all the female relatives waiting for a long time.Afterwards, the musicians were asked to play a few newly arranged pieces.

All of a sudden, in the imperial garden, the curtains fluttered, and the silk and bamboo wafted into the ears. All the nobles and ladies wanted to go forward to congratulate one after another, and presented the gifts they had prepared.

Indeed, as Mistress Tao said, what everyone gave was a treasure that was hard to find in thousands of miles.

After everyone present had finished delivering their congratulatory gifts, only Yu Moying was left.

Others turned their attention to Yu Moying one after another, while Yu Moying directed her attention to Mistress Tao, staring at her blankly, as if to ask if she should give the gift.

Lady Tao returned to Concubine Lin's side and remained motionless, but she secretly gave Yu Moying a wink, expressing that she should not move yet, so Yu Moying did not move.

Concubine Lin didn't seem to notice that there was someone at the table who hadn't given a congratulatory gift. With a smile on her face, she turned her head behind the curtain beside her and called out, "Yanhan, you said earlier that you prepared a surprise for yourself. Now, can we present the surprise and let Ben Gong have a good time?"
