Empress and concubine

It has been three days since the newcomers entered the mansion. This afternoon, Xia Yunjing returned home early, but Zhao Yi just took a rest. Zhao Yi asked Chu Yao to go with Xia Yunjing to enjoy the flowers in the lotus garden.Zi Yan sent a group of people out, brought various teas and snacks, and made a stop.This group of people went out, and everything that should be known in the backyard was known.For a while, except for living in the main courtyard, everywhere is fragrant.

Before going out, Zhao Yi propped herself up, packed the clothes for Chu Yao herself, and took out a lotus-colored dress. The hem of the skirt was embroidered with lilac-colored silk threads on a few lotus petals and a few lotus leaves. So he put a piece of Huanxi sand on his head outside.She also used tassels to wear a jade ring with a lotus pattern, and hung it on her waist. Huaying brought another plate of purses, and asked Zhao Yi to help pick it out, and hung it on Chu Yao's waist.

Xia Yunjing often played with fans recently, and Zhao Yi also asked someone to present a new fan cover. Xia Yunjing picked a red sandalwood color embroidered with bamboo knots, which was considered a good omen.

After packing up her clothes, the lady who combed her hair combed Chu Yao into a bun with ingots, and wore a green hair comb with a lotus pattern, and a bunch of tassels were dotted on each side.It was originally intended to be shaken with some emerald steps, but it made Chu Yao think it was too cumbersome, so it was useless. Zhao Yi turned her head and hung a gemstone necklace around Chu Yao's neck. Gemstones of various colors clustered into delicate flowers, and there were rice grains underneath. Gemstones of all sizes hang down in strings, and they are shining brightly as they walk.

Fortunately, it was Chu Yao, so the luster of this gem would not overwhelm the other.The beautiful jewelry set off Chu Yao's unfaltering smiling face, and Xia Yunjing's eyebrows shrouded in gloom, and it also dissipated a bit. Before, there was only three points of sincerity and six points of boredom, but now it has changed to nine points of interest.

Chu Yao and Xia Yunjing walked out of the main courtyard under the watchful eyes of many 'eyes'. Because Chu Yao was impatient to walk in the corridor, she only led people past the rockery or the overgrown vegetation.

"The Nuliu family has seen the prince and concubine, the prince Changle, and the concubine Changle," Xia Yunjing and Chu Yao were just about to wander around the bamboo garden when they met Liu Yushi, who had just been promoted two days ago.

This Master Liu is wearing a plain dress today, with white lotus embroidered with silver thread on the hem of the skirt, and the lotus leaves are embroidered with silver thread and water green and black silk thread. Paintings made of ink and wash can catch people's eyes and make people happy when they pass under the sun.

Xia Yunjing called this Yushi Liu to wait on him the first day, so he is naturally more familiar with Yushi Liu than Chu Yao, but he has never bothered about the backyard, and Zhao Yi is not here, so it is inevitable that he will be called Chuyao Come out and speak.So after Xia Yunjing yelled, Chu Yao also yelled, and took over half of Zhao Yi's affairs.

"Liu Yushi's clothes are really beautiful, like ink painting, I don't know which craft it is, but his mind is very dexterous." Chu Yao tilted her head and looked at Xia Yunjing, "My lord, help me too , can such clothes suit me and the princess?"

Seeing Xia Yunjing looking over, Liu Yusi hurriedly said, "Returning to my concubine, this is a new style from Sujin Pavilion in Nandi. It is mostly light-colored and embroidered with dark patterns, but some gold and silver threads are often added inside. It's even more different from other families," said Liu Yu Attendant, who also felt complacent, and moved the hem of his skirt slightly, "so this dress has been exposed to the sun for a while, and it looks like a thousand brilliance, and it is very popular recently."

After Xia Yunjing listened, he said, "It's just for a novelty reputation. In fact, it has been around for a few years. Back then, Princess Xinyang also loved this kind of 'ink painting'. It used to be painted by famous artists, and it looked like it was left behind. This... In terms of fine brushwork skills, it is not as good as Hongzhuhuaying," said, and looked at Chu Yao again, "If you are happy, then go to the princess and ask, or ask someone to go to Nandi to pick up two pieces and bring them back, so that the people below can see them. Do something better."

"There is such a kung fu in it, it's rare, the prince still loves me," Chu Yao blinked at Xia Yunjing, causing Xia Yunjing to glance at it, and then put it away pretending to be mischievous, and looked at Yu Attendant Liu, a little curious He said, "Where is Master Attendant Liu going?"

Upon hearing this, Imperial Attendant Liu's eyes flashed, she took the hand on the maid's arm, covered her lips slightly, and said, "I just want to see the weather is good, so I'm going out for a walk, I don't want to go anywhere."

"Since that's the case, Liu Yushi might as well come and be a companion." Chu Yao looked at Xia Yunjing, "What does the lord think?"

Xia Yunjing glanced at Chu Yao, nodded, "That's fine."

After saying that, without waiting for Master Attendant Liu to react, he went straight forward.Master Attendant Liu hurriedly saluted behind him, gave Chu Yao another grateful look, and chased after him, but was pulled by Chu Yao.

Chu Yao whispered, "My lord and I were planning to take a walk around the bamboo garden and then go to the lotus pond." Chu Yao looked at Master Attendant Liu and listened to her own words, and couldn't stop looking at Xia Yunjing. Then he let go of Master Attendant Liu's hand, "I've been walking for a long time, and I can't keep up. Master Attendant Liu will go and accompany the prince first, and I will take my time behind."

"The slave will go first, and the side concubine will take your time." After Liu Yushi finished speaking, he led the servant girl to chase Xia Yunjing in a hurry, and they entered the bamboo garden together.

From Chu Yao's distance, she could only see Liu Yushi's flushed face, affectionate eyes, and the occasional coquettish laugh that sounded like silver bells.

Yi Niang approached Chu Yao from behind, and said in a low voice, "Side concubine, Imperial Attendant Liu is really stunning, but this style is the same, which is something that Nu Pingri sisters can't get. If it is not for the blue sky and white sun, many people will see it." I'm afraid she's going to fall on the prince."

"That's what you can say." Chu Yao gave Yi Niang a weak look, "I'm just annoyed why I chose a lotus-patterned dress today, but I bumped into her. Fortunately, the colors are different and the patterns are not similar. ,” Chu Yao said, and quietly rolled her eyes behind her back.

Seeing this, Yi Niang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, "I can't say that, what if another one with the same color or similar pattern comes out later."

Chu Yao opened her mouth, and only asked Yi Niang to pick up a flower or two for her. The two of them talked from time to time, and occasionally talked to Hua Ying, and then walked even slower. Fortunately, Xia Yunjing was there ahead. Yu Attendant Liu was stumbling, and he didn't walk very fast, so he couldn't keep up.

Chu Yao had only walked a few steps when she saw Xia Yunjing waiting outside the bamboo garden with Liu Yushi, "Why did it take me so long to come, I don't know what the road is called to lead the soul."

After hearing this, Chu Yao hurriedly walked a few steps, bumped into Xia Yunjing, and took his arm, "I'm small, so naturally I walk slowly," and asked Yi Niang to show Xia Yunjing the flowers picked on the road, "I Seeing that these moons were in full bloom, I thought about taking them back to dress up the bedroom of the princess. The princess is heavy, so she had to stay in the yard all day, and it was not easy to come out to see. I took the beautiful ones outside, Take it back and show her."

Xia Yunjing listened and nodded, "It's not in vain for her to love you." Then he ordered Cao Xin, "If you see good ones along the way, ask someone to pick one or two flowers and share them with the side concubine. Take it back and make the princess happy too."

Cao Xin responded quickly, and asked the maid who followed him to watch carefully on the road.

Liu Yushi looked at Xia Yunjing and Chu Yao's closeness, showing a little envy on his face, and then heard the two of them thinking about Zhao Yi in their hearts, and said, "The prince treats the princess very well, and the side concubine respects the princess as well."

After hearing this, Xia Yunjing just glanced at Liu Yushi and didn't speak, causing Liu Yushi to shrink his neck involuntarily.

Chu Yao blinked at Yu Attendant Liu, "My concubine is a kind person, so naturally I should respect her, besides, I have often been with her for the past two years, and I have been taken care of by her a lot, so I can only keep in mind these little things. caught."

"You're always a good person," Xia Yunjing said, and then looked at Yu Attendant Liu, "Since you're in the mansion, you should respect the concubine well."

Imperial Attendant Liu hurriedly agreed, and several people went into the bamboo garden.

Outside Prince Wei's mansion, a group of people stopped, and the leader took the token and handed it to the guard at the door, asking him to pass it on, begging to see Princess Zhao.If Chu Yao were here, she would be able to easily recognize that this person was the eldest grandson Wei whom she had only met a few days ago.

The guard accepted the token half-believingly, and after only looking at it, he invited Zhang Sunwei and his party into the mansion, and then sent people to park the carriages and horses in the mansion, and then hurriedly went to the second gate to answer. Not long after, there was news that Yes, the concubine asked that person to go over to talk, and also sent Miss Ziyan to pick him up.

On the way, Ziyan met Xu Yushi and Qian Gongren, who had just gotten the news from the prince. She was a little surprised, but she still saluted, "Where are Xu Yushi and Qian Gongren going?"

After hearing this, Qian Gongren sneered, opened his mouth, did not speak, and only looked at Yu Attendant Xu.

This look is even more strange to Ziyan, Xu Yushi Qian Gongren is not easy to deal with, but it has been a few years, how come they got together in just two days.

Seeing Qian Gongren's performance, Master Xu couldn't help but glared at her, and smiled apologetically at Zi Yan, "I didn't think about where to go, but I didn't feel comfortable staying in the room, so I went out for a walk, and happened to meet Sister Qian , and simply formed a companion."

Xu Yushi's gaze wandered for a while, "Looking at Miss Ziyan, do you have any orders from the princess?"

Ziyan girl?With a movement of Zi Yan's fingers, the smile on her face was almost unbearable. It was not easy to get Xu Yu's voice like a girl, "It was the concubine who ordered things," Zi Yan smiled again, "Xu Yu Zi Yan will go first to serve the Qian Palace, so as not to delay the matter of the princess later."

"Hey, okay, Miss Ziyan, you go first," Qian Gongren hurriedly waved his hands.

This time, Master Xu's expression was not good. Looking at Qian Gongren, he completely hated iron and steel, but only for a moment, he smiled and looked at Ziyan, "Miss Ziyan, I just I vaguely heard that the prince is back?"

"That's right," Zi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it's better to ask for something, and it's more acceptable than an abnormal appearance, so Zi Yan kindly explained for them, "The prince has already returned, but the prince and the side The concubine has already gone out to visit the garden, and from Jin Yi's words, it seems that she is going to the lotus garden, but it's not clear which way to go, "

"I think it's a small path," Qian Gongren said firmly.

After Zi Yan heard this, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and then looked at the direction they came from, and then she understood, the co-authors couldn't block anyone.

"Sister Qian," Master Attendant Xu raised his voice. After thinking about it, he felt that Qian Gongren was out of his mind, and smiled and looked at Zi Yandao, "Miss Ziyan, hurry up, I will go for a walk with Sister Qian again. , I won’t delay you.”

"Then Ziyan will go first." Ziyan nodded, bowed, and left first. From a distance, she could hear the voice of Master Attendant Xu scolding Qian Gongren.Zi Yan shook her head, then threw the two of them away, the two of them were also confused, who could figure it out.
