Gateway to Happiness

Miao Cuilan said with a smile: "this is the clothes and jewelry that mammy Ping helped to select. Sister Qing, please help me to see if it is suitable!"

"That's good! It's just right! " Mu Qing smiles and tells mother Ping to bring the copper stove, and the four take their servant girls to the carriage.

This is the first time for the queen to hold a banquet in the palace in winter for so many years. All the ladies came with all the girls from their families.

When Lu Xiaoshu's mother and daughter came to the red plum Pavilion, many people had already gathered.

Hearing the Deacon eunuch singing about the family, they could not help looking at them. Most of the eyes are on Miao Cuilan and Xiao Xue.

Miao Cuilan in particular, we all want to see what the wife of the land minister's son married in the countryside looks like.

Seeing Miao Cuilan talking and laughing with Mu Qing, Xiao Xue's behavior is also very decent. In addition, this is the imperial palace. People are a little surprised, and they don't say anything. Some of them even come forward to greet them.

Liao Yuanyuan and Mrs. Liao also arrived. Mu Qing saw her and nodded to Mrs. Liao and said with a smile, "sister Miao, that lady Liao is the most amiable one. Let's go and say hello to her."

Since she entered the palace, Miao Cuilan felt that she had come to a wonderful and dizzy world. Everything she saw in her eyes was fresh and novel, and her brain was a little dizzy and could not turn her mind.

When I arrived here, I saw so many noble ladies and young girls, and then I saw so many maids and eunuchs shuttling around busily waiting for them. Their manners and expressions were all solemn and legal, as if that person was the rule.

She was beating the drum in her heart. Hearing that Mu Qing was going to take her to greet people, she immediately felt ashamed. She quickly shook her head and said, "well, people don't recognize me. Is it really appropriate to go up for no reason Otherwise, I'd like to leave... "

Mu Qing said with a smile: "just go and say hello. It's OK to do it! In fact, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I don't know these people very well. I don't care about other people. Mrs. Liao's daughter and Xiao Shu are also very good sisters. "

Lu Xiaoshu has been holding Xiaoxue's arm, waiting to go with her two mothers. When she heard Mu Qing say that, she nodded and said with a smile: "yes, mother, I'm a good mother! Sister Liao is a very good person. I'm going to go and greet her with my sister. "

When Miao Cuilan heard this, she had no reason to settle down. After looking at Lu Xiaoshu, she finally nodded her head and said with a smile: "OK, then - go! Really, sister Qing, is it that I've given you trouble? I'm sorry... "

"Sister, don't say that! What kind of words is that? " Mu Qing said with a smile: "my sister is just like me, but I'm not used to it at all! After a long time, I will get used to it. "

Miao Cuilan smiles, but in her heart, I'm not the same as you, but I won't get used to it. The palace looks all right, but how can people feel so uncomfortable? It's better to stay at our tofu shop

Liao Yuanyuan had already been waiting. When she saw Lu Xiaoshu, she came up to greet her. The three girls said hello to the adults and went to speak from one side.

"Is this your sister? But I don't know how many times you've talked about it. I finally saw it today! "Liao Yuanyuan looks at Xiaoxue with a smile and asks Lu Xiaoshu.

Xiao Xue hears her saying so, but she feels warm in her heart and smiles towards Xiaoshu.

Lu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "no, this is my sister! We grew up together! Sister, this is Liao Yuanyuan, the third girl of the Liao family. I don't know which of you is the older and who is the younger. "

Xiao Xue smiles and meets Liao Yuanyuan. They talk about their age, but they are the same year. When the month is heavy, Liao Yuanyuan salutes her and shouts "sister!" with Lu Xiaoshu.

Xiaoxue is not brave enough. Lu Xiaoshu smiles at her and says, "I'm only a friend of sister Liao in Beijing. Sister Liao is not that kind of person. You can rest assured, sister!"

Say three people all laugh, light snow this just received, from return gift.

Three people just said a few words here, then heard a woman smile called "second sister!" Come this way.

Lu Xiaoshu looked up and saw that it was Lu Yiqing.

Liao Yuanyuan whispered: "it's said that today's plum blossom feast is hosted by the crown prince and Princess..."

"No wonder!" Lu Xiaoshu sneered.

"Second sister!" Speaking, Lu Yiqing has approached, smiling to Lu Xiaoshu, as if she were a very intimate sister.

Lu Xiaoshu glanced at her clothes: the red brocade was all over the place, the golden butterflies were wearing the flower sticks, the orange embroidered with the red crabapple, the gold silk and silver thread, the frilly skirt, the peony hair, the dazzling red coral inlaid treasure and the Pearl hairpin. It was incomparably rich and luxurious, as if afraid that people would not know that she was now the wife of the eldest young master of Li's family.

"How early and late did the second sister come? I haven't seen you for a long time Lu Yiqing said with a smile.

In front of the public, Lu Xiaoshu did not ignore her, and said with a smile: "not bad! But compared with the third sister before she got married, it was excellent! "Lu Yiqing said with a smile, "that's good! By the way, what about the great aunt? My great aunt should be here today, too

Where can Lu Xiaoshu be impatient to pay attention to her hypocrisy? He said, "my mother must be chatting with some lady. There are so many people here. I really haven't seen where it is at this time and a half!"

Lu Yiqing gritted his teeth in his heart, and the smile on his face suddenly felt that he couldn't hold on.

In fact, she had already seen where Mu Qing was, and knew that Lu Xiaoshu must have seen it. She just wanted to take the opportunity to meet Mu Qing with the guidance of landing Xiaoshu, so that there was a reason. However, Lu Xiaoshu pretended to be deaf to her!

"Sister, I'm a little thirsty. Let's go over there and have a cup of tea." Lu Xiaoshu smiles at Xiaoxue and Liao Yuanyuan and beckons her to leave.

Liao Yuanyuan nodded to Lu Yiqing and chuckled. She followed Lu Xiaoshu. Xiaoxue is still a little confused about the situation. She doesn't understand why Lu Xiaoshu would treat this person like this. She is in a daze and is taken away by Lu Xiaoshu.

Lu Yiqing was left standing there alone, not embarrassed. For a moment, it seemed that all the people's eyes fell on her body, pointing.

Lu Yiqing, ashamed, resentful and embarrassed, glanced at Mu Qing, who was with his wives, but had no courage to pass.

After a while, the empress was surrounded by sun Guifei, Prince concubine and other concubines with higher share in the imperial palace. They were all busy kneeling to meet each other under the guidance of the eunuch in charge.

With a smile, the queen led the people into the main hall of the red plum blossom hall. She was in a good mood and said, "it's all our palace. On a whim, I sent all the ladies to accompany us to enjoy the flowers. It can be said that this plum blossom is not rare. However, in winter, the palace is very boring and has a lively time! The ladies don't know if they can complain about the trouble in our palace. "

All the ladies were flattered with a smile. They all said that they were bored at home. It was a great honor to have this opportunity to serve the queen. It was a blessing that others could not ask for. How could they complain?

The joking room had already entered, and the queen sat solemnly on it. Then she ordered the people on both sides to sit down.

In the hall, the floor is warm, the room is warm as spring, and the smoke curling from the censer rises and diffuses. The room is full of elegant fragrance, refreshing.

At each banquet, there is a small flower statue or vase, in which there are red plum blossoms in full bloom. In the open space in the corner of the hall, there are huge blue and white pots half a person high. Inside, there are plum trees in full bloom, which are as red as rouge and gorgeous as rosy clouds. The fragrance spreads out and blends with the fragrance from the elegant censer. Instead of being turbid, it forms a special sweet fragrance and refreshing.

A maid of the palace gently put the row of windows opposite the queen. The hall suddenly lit up, but did not feel cold. People could not help looking at the past. A flash in his eyes, not far away, a large area of Merlin.

The original wooden row of windows is a layer of Western glass inlaid windows, the beautiful scenery in the plum forest.

People don't feel that they admire such luxury and delicacy.

The queen said with a smile, "the red plum pavilion was originally built for the purpose of appreciating the plum. But after so many years, this palace is also the first time to visit it! But it's not bad! "

Sun Guifei then said with a smile: "thanks to the Queen's sister, my concubines have to see today! My concubines are here for the first time. This is the place that the emperor built specially for the Queen's sister

It suddenly dawned on all of them, and the words that flattered the emperor and empress were so deep that they were very lively.

Naturally, the queen was used. The smile on her face was deeper, but she was angry with Princess sun and said with a smile: "look at what my sister said! All sisters can go to the place where they play in the palace. How can it be said that it was specially built for this palace! If I knew, I would have called you here. I have been lonely for so many years in such a good place

"How can it be! This is the place specially built by the emperor for the Queen's sister. You should come here first, and then you can have a good name and honor from your sisters. "

All the concubines and concubines laugh and make fun of each other, and the husbands and concubines are also complimented. The hall is full of laughter and laughter. It's so happy!

Lu Xiaoshu can't help but murmur, heart way: good a harmonious harem, I don't know how sincere.

Since it's a plum blossom feast, I can't help but pull it to the top of the plum blossom, and I have to make plum blossom poems.

"I haven't seen such a good plum blossom for a long time! The first of this year! Don't be modest, girls. This eight treasures inlaid in our palace, such as red gold and green flowers, is today's lottery. If anyone wins the first prize, it will be someone's! "

The queen said, motioning to the female officials nearby to shake the step as a reward to the public.

It's about four inches long. It's a red gold hairpin. The head of the hairpin is inlaid with a cluster of plum blossoms with gold placentas. It's surrounded by twirling patterns and inlaid with ruby, sapphire and pearl. Several strings of golden tassels of different lengths hang down from the hairpin head. The middle and tail are decorated with emerald or pomegranate ruby with raindrops of the size of the tail finger.

Let alone the priceless, it is a special honor given by the queen, and it can't be bought with money!
