As the saying goes, spring is sleepy, autumn is lackluster, summer takes a nap, and winter and March are unable to wake up. As soon as winter entered, Gu Panfu became much more tired. She sat on a soft bed and played with a string of beads of good quality in her hands.
, "Everyone says that the Imperial Garden is the most beautiful garden in the whole Zhou Dynasty. I have only been in the palace for a long time, and why am I tired of it?"
"Pfft, Master, you haven't been shopping a few times, why are you tired of seeing it?" Hanrui sat on a low stool next to the brazier and put the finishing touches on the purse in her hand.
"Who says it's not?" Gu Panfu smiled and stretched out her hand again, "How's it going? Let me take a look." Hanrui stood up and handed over the purse in her hand. The purse was made of silver auspicious cloud patterns and embroidered with gold thread.
The pattern of a flying dragon in the sky and the embroidered golden dragon with its feet stepping on dragon beads are also lifelike, majestic and domineering. A few days ago, Gu Panfu had nothing to do, thinking that as a concubine, she had to express her feelings from time to time to refresh her existence.
She felt that her embroidery work was acceptable, so she drew the pattern and embroidered the main pattern herself, leaving the remaining finishing work to Hanrui.
Gu Panfu took the purse and looked at it for a moment, then pointed at the bottom of the wishful knot: "Add a white jade bead here, it will look more luxurious."
"Hey," Hanrui's hands moved very quickly. She was very good at tying knots. After re-doing it, she showed it to Gu Panfu.
"Yes, that's just right." Gu Panfu asked Hanrui to get a sandalwood box and put her purse in it, and she boasted in a good mood, "Hey, my craftsmanship is really good."
Hanrui suppressed her laughter and went to put the box away, when Hanlu walked in with Fengxue, stood at the door and dusted off the falling snow on her body.
"Is it snowing outside again?"
"Yes, Master. It's just light snow. It's been snowing for a long time and there's only a thin layer." Hanlu took the ginger tea from Hanrui's hand and drank it in one gulp.
Gu Panfu glanced out the window, unable to see anything clearly. She turned her head and said a little excitedly: "Help me comb my hair and dress, take Lu Qi with me, let's go to the Snow Pavilion to enjoy the snow."
"ah?"
"Ah? What, there are still a few plum trees. I will cut some branches and put them back later to arrange flowers." Gu Panfu was already moving, got down and started washing her face. She looked at each other helplessly with pistils and dew.
, hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
Gu Panfu was wearing a newly made rabbit fur and red plum cloak, and she led the group of people to the Tingxue Pavilion through the Imperial Garden.
As the only way to Tingxue Pavilion, the Imperial Garden cannot be avoided. As soon as Gu Panfu walked into the garden, she heard the faint voices. Gu Panfu didn't take it seriously and continued walking forward. She didn't want to meet other people.
Her interest in admiring the snow was ruined. She heard a cold voice: "How presumptuous!"
Gu Panfu raised her eyebrows, wondering why this tone was so familiar.
"master?"
"Let's go and have a look." Gu Panfu slowly walked towards the pavilion where the sound came from, holding her hand that was exposed. From a distance, she saw Yuan Chongrong sitting in the pavilion with a bunch of people, and next to her stood Lady Yao.
The person kneeling on the bluestone outside the pavilion in the snow is Queen Yan, and the person kneeling next to her should be Queen Yan's personal maid.
"Tsk" Gu Panfu stopped when she saw this scene. She just wanted to watch the excitement, so there was no need to move forward.
"I don't know how I have offended Empress Yuan Chongrong, please express it clearly." Lady Yan knelt with her back straight, and her tone was neither humble nor overbearing.
Yuan Chongrong's eyes were contemptuous and she didn't answer. The eldest palace maid Shazhi beside her immediately understood what her master meant and spoke for her: "The empress Yan just hit the empress and was speechless. According to the palace rules, she should have slapped ten
Next, our empress takes pity on Princess Yan’s appearance, so she is just punished by kneeling down.”
Yan Yunv bit her lower lip, Yuan Chongrong actually asked a palace maid to answer, humiliating her in this way. Yan Yunv came from a bad background, and has been ridiculed from the time she was drafted to entering the palace. On weekdays, there are a little more people.
She didn't dare to go. Today, Yao Shunnu took the initiative to invite her out for a walk. She agreed because of their good relationship, but unexpectedly she ran into Yuan Chongrong. She wanted to resign with Yao Shunv, but Yuan Chongrong forced her to do so.
He stopped her, and without saying a few words, she rushed towards him and asked the palace maid to hold her down and kneel on the ground. The sky was so cold that the ground was bone-chilling, and the cold air penetrated from her knees straight into her body. She could no longer control herself and began to tremble.
"I believe that there is no disrespect in my words. Yuan Chongrong is not afraid that the queen will find out if she makes such a fuss?" Yan Yunv was filled with hatred, and even her beautiful face became a little ferocious, but she had no choice but to move out of the queen's house.
Come and press the yuan to fill your capacity.
When Yuan Chongrong heard the word "queen", her face darkened. She hated the queen who was weighing down on her. When she thought about it, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart. Moreover, she could obviously get the title of concubine, just because of those so-called
The rumors about her could only win the title of a concubine from the last ninth rank. She was not as good as Yun Zhaorong, who was born in the fourth rank and was dull and boring.
Yuan Chongrong looked at the pale-faced Princess Yan below, a little princess. She still didn't believe that she couldn't punish her: "If Princess Yan is so dissatisfied, then kneel down for an hour and reflect on it." Then, she
She also said with a teasing tone: "Oh, Princess Yan is really a beauty. Look, I feel so pitiful when I see this. I can't bear to punish you. If you want to cry in front of the Emperor and Queen,
I will not stop you from crying. Miss Yao, do you think so?"
When Yao Shunv was called by her name, she trembled with fright. She was really scared. Although Yao Shunv had a good family background, she was born timid. She was not only afraid of the concubines in the palace, but also very afraid of the emperor. So she didn't serve her for a few times.
After being noticed by Xie Xiao, Xie Xiao never made things difficult for her, he just didn't come. But if the emperor doesn't come, it means that you are not favored. Concubines who are not favored will be bullied by even the palace servants who are slightly embarrassed. Yao Shunu suffers
If she couldn't, she would cry every day. Finally, the nanny beside her gave her an idea, asking her to find a favored concubine to cling to and live a good life for a few days. After much thought, she could only find Yan Yunv.
The royal girl was born low and wanted to be easy to talk to.
Yao Shunv really wanted to make friends with Yan Yunv, so besides being afraid, she also didn't want to answer the conversation. She only trembled her lips and faltered, unable to say a word.
Gu Panfu stood in the distance and watched for a long time, feeling very bored. Yuan Chongrong's unsightly trick was to vent his anger on Princess Yan. Gu Panfu didn't have the heart of a holy mother, and she had no friendship with Princess Yan, so
She couldn't be a magic weapon that fell from the sky. Staying here would be a waste of her time. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a hand suddenly grabbed her waist from behind: "What is Fu'er doing here to watch?"
Gu Panfu almost didn't scream out in surprise. She moved a step faster and covered her mouth with her hands to stop herself from screaming out.
Xie Xiao looked at her look and found her cute, and chuckled, "Shh." He raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Gu Panfu to be silent. Then he took her wrist and walked in the other direction.
Gu Panfu was still palpitating until she walked out of the imperial garden. Xie Xiao walked in front, and he never looked back at the garden. Gu Panfu followed him, her heartbeat slowly calmed down, she looked at the tall and broad back of the emperor, and saw
Holding her firm and strong palm, she felt a slight chill going straight to the bottom of her heart at this moment. Gu Panfu seemed to truly understand the four words "emperor's ruthlessness" at this moment. She silently recited these four words in her heart several times.
, and then she became more determined to move forward. The most secure thing is to give yourself a sense of security.
Gu Panfu raised a smile and asked with a delicate smile: "Where is the emperor taking my concubine?"
"Fu'er, please accompany me to the Snow Pavilion to enjoy the snow." Xie Xiao pulled her forward two steps and walked side by side with him.
"Ah, the concubine and the emperor are really in tune with each other. I also want to go to the Snow Pavilion to see the snow. Now that the emperor is with me, I won't be bored." Gu Panfu looked at Xie Xiao with bright eyes, as if speaking from the bottom of her heart.
Xie Xiao's smile became more real with joy.
The Tingxue Pavilion had been decorated a long time ago. There was a layer of curtains around the pavilion, and a warm charcoal fire was burning in the center. Xie Xiao put his hand on top of the brazier to warm himself up, but his eyes were looking at a few red plum trees standing proudly in the snow in the distance.
"Does the emperor think that the red plum looks like a graceful beauty in the snow?" Gu Panfu followed Xie Xiao's gaze and quipped with an arched eyebrow.
Xie Xiao didn't say anything. He turned around and looked at her quietly for a long time, and said seriously: "The beauty is right beside me, why should I abandon the near and seek the far away?"
Gu Panfu was stunned, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. Xie Xiao didn't care whether she replied or not, his eyes returned to the red plums in the distance, and asked: "Do you like plum blossoms, my dear concubine?"
"I like all kinds of flowers. When I see the flowers blooming, I feel happy in my heart." Seeing that he didn't care about her daze, Gu Panfu breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and fiddled with the boiled tea soup with a silver spoon.
, the flowering period of this kind of flower is too short. No matter which kind of flower blooms most beautifully, it only blooms at its peak, and she only likes that moment.
"Then I am willing to fold flowers for my beloved concubine." Xie Xiao heard this and walked towards the plum blossoms in the distance. It wasn't until he was halfway there that Gu Panfu realized what she was doing. She walked a few steps quickly and shouted: "Your Majesty, concubine.
I want the tallest branches."
The emperor turned his back to her and waved his hand. He walked closer to the plum tree and looked at it for a moment. Sure enough, he broke off the tallest branches.
Probably because the emperor who folded the plum blossoms that day was too stunning and dazzling, a few days later Gu Panfu still had the figure of the emperor walking towards her holding the plum blossoms in her mind. So, Xie Xiao, who had gone to the morning court, received two greetings from Gu Xuanshi.
It was a small gift. The small box contained a rather delicate purse. Xie Xiao was responsible for most of the reason why the purse was not sent out on the same day. He felt like a hungry wolf who had been dead for a long time that night. Gu Panfu couldn't get out of bed the next day, so she naturally
He missed the opportunity to hand over the purse. Xie Xiao took one look at the purse and put it aside.
Opening the big box, there was a painting inside. The concubine's painting skills could only be considered average. The emperor in the painting was wearing a silver cloak, and the white fur collar made the emperor's face look like jade. The few red plums in his hand became
The only bright color in the painting is the caption beside the painting: As white as snow on the mountain, as bright as the moon among the clouds.
Xie Xiao seemed to be completely distracted by these two sentences, savoring them carefully on his lips. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "Ming Zhong, I will hang this painting in Yanjia Hall later."
He picked up the purse that he had just put aside and asked the palace attendant to put it on. He touched the strings on two purses and said: "Ming Zhong, to pass on my will, choose the Gu family to serve, Hui Min Roujia, I am deeply favored."
It means that today Jin Dynasty is the seventh level of glory."
