Chapter 986: Peach Blossoms Are Not Bad
Although Empress Zhou is careful, Concubine Li's heart knot has already fallen.
It has been two months since the birth of the eldest prince, and Concubine Li has occasionally been favored recently, and the life of Changchun Palace is much better than before.
Even Yan'er, the big palace maid who was ordered in danger, was much more decent.
Yan'er has gradually become different from the rough little palace maid before, not only speaking and doing things more decently, but also learning how to dress herself up more like a big palace maid.
The palace people of Changchun Palace didn't take her seriously before, but now seeing that Concubine Li is favored again, they all hooked up with Yan'er.
"Aunt Yan'er, sit down quickly, look at the hot weather outside."
Yan'er just came back from outside, and was surrounded by a group of palace maids to rest under the corridor, Yan'er looked inexplicable, "It's spring, the sun is warm, where is it hot?" ”
The palace maids just laughed when they heard her say this, "Isn't it because you have just come back from a long journey, and I'm afraid it's a little hot?" Come, have a cup of tea! ”
Yan'er has been with Concubine Li for a long time, and she has also learned to smell the color of tea.
As soon as she sniffed this tea, she knew that it was good, so she took it and drank it slowly, and the palace maids saw that she was holding a large brocade box in her hand, and knew that it was a good thing.
"Aunt Yan'er, where did you come from?"
"Naturally, it's the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Yan'er glanced at the big brocade box while drinking tea, "This is the best spice for Xingong outside, and only the master above the concubine level in the palace is worthy of it." and the concubine have a big belly, so isn't there only the queen and our mother left? ”
When the palace maids heard this, they suddenly realized, no wonder Concubine Li could get so many spices.
Yan'er drank all the tea, and when she was about to leave, those palace maids surrounded her and asked, "Aunt Yan'er, you went to the Internal Affairs Office to get something, didn't they say anything?" Did you scold our mother, or did you say something else? ”
Yan'er was a little strange when she heard this.
When she first served Concubine Li before, she didn't feel anything every time she went to the Internal Affairs Mansion, but recently she went to the Internal Affairs Mansion, and the people in the Internal Affairs Mansion did become more and more respectful to her.
But these palace maids asked her what she was doing here?
Yan'er was about to get rid of them, when she suddenly heard the little palace maid calling her, "Sister Yan'er, the mother is going out, and she is calling you!" ”
Yan'er put the teacup down casually, ignored the palace maids at all, and walked directly towards the hall with the spice box.
"What is the matter with the slave called the maid?"
Yan'er went in and put the spice box away, and saw Concubine Li dressing up in the inner room, and looked at her, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yan'er told her about going to the Internal Affairs Office to get spices, Concubine Li didn't say anything, only nodded, "Put this aside, and accompany the palace to the imperial garden." ”
"Imperial Garden?"
Looking at Concubine Li's carefully dressed up, it is more like she is going to the Qianqing Palace, how can she say that she is going to the Imperial Garden?
Yan'er didn't dare to ask, so she only held the spice box to the little palace maid, "Take it down and collect it, be careful, there is a lot of rain in spring, don't let these precious spices get damp." ”
"Got it, Sister Yan'er."
The little palace maid went down with the box in her hand, and Concubine Li walked out of the hall and said with a slight smile: "You have experienced a lot of experience recently. ”
"Hey, hey."
Yan'er smiled: "Thanks to Niangniang's better tune." ”
I think that when she first came to Concubine Li's side, she didn't even know what to say or what not to say, and she also said something envious of Concubine He.
Now that I think about it, it was her luck that Concubine Li didn't ask someone to beat her.
Concubine Li walked out first, "Then call two powerful little eunuchs and go out with the palace." ”
"Yes."
……
Spring is just right, and the imperial garden is a rare and good scenery.
Although it is not as big as the Imperial Garden, there are so many flowers, and it is considered a first-class view in the palace.
Concubine Li took Yan'er and the palace people to the imperial garden, and the palace people who had secretly enjoyed the flowers and rested in the imperial garden in their spare time were scattered, but Li Concubine had no intention of appreciating them, just watching the flowers.
Yan'er has been serving Concubine Li for a long time, and she knows that she is not a person who loves flowers.
"Yan'er, what kind of flowers do you say the emperor prefers?"
"Huh?"
It turned out that Concubine Li was going to pick flowers for the emperor.
Yan'er was suddenly embarrassed, "Men love flowers, slaves and maids really don't hear of it, let alone such a manly person as the emperor?" The slave has never heard of it. ”
She looked back at the two little eunuchs she brought, and they also shook their heads, they hadn't heard that the emperor liked flowers, let alone flowers.
Concubine Li curled the corners of her lips, "I heard in this palace that the queen mother likes plum blossoms, and the first emperor also likes them." ”
Yan'er suddenly realized that the queen mother and the first emperor liked the flowers, and the emperor probably wouldn't hate them.
It's just that now that the plum blossoms have bloomed, where can they still be picked?
Yan'er looked around, and suddenly saw a corner of the imperial garden pink like smoke, she said happily: "Niangniang, plum blossoms and peach blossoms are very similar, if the emperor likes plum blossoms, will he also like peach blossoms?" ”
Concubine Li curled the corners of her mouth when she heard this, and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
Midspring is the season when peach blossoms bloom well, and such a pink flower that is neither ostentatious nor plain even Li Concubine, a person who doesn't like flowers, likes it.
She decided on the spot, so she instructed the little eunuch to break the flower branches on the tree that she fancied.
This branch is not just broken.
It should be of different lengths, but not too uneven, and it is necessary to be able to put out the scenery of high and low in the vase, so as to add color to the brightness of the flowers.
Concubine Li ordered a lot of folds, and then picked out the best part of them, and wanted to take them to the Qianqing Palace to give them to the emperor.
The little eunuch said: "Niangniang, then these ......"
Concubine Li only picked a small part, and she didn't want most of the broken branches, which was a pity.
Concubine Li thought for a while and said, "I'll send it back to Changchun Palace and let the small kitchen make peach blossom cakes." Yan'er, pick up the flowers and go to the Qianqing Palace with the palace. ”
The two little eunuchs returned to Changchun Palace with the extra flower branches, and Concubine Li took Yan'er to the Qianqing Palace. ”
People have not yet arrived, and the fragrance of peach blossoms has reached the tip of the nose.
Yuan Zhi opened his eyes and saw Concubine Li coming in with a large bouquet of peach blossoms, all of which were bright and about to drip, and couldn't help but smile, "This is picked and sent to me?" ”
"If the emperor doesn't dislike it, he can let the concubines insert bottles for the emperor for enjoyment, which is the blessing of the concubines."
Concubine Li smiled and blessed, Yuanzhi waved his hand at Xiao Kiko, and Xiao Kiko immediately went down to find a suitable vase and asked Concubine Li to insert those flower branches with her own hands.
"It's a good Chunguang, although the emperor doesn't like flowers, but the concubines can't bear to let the emperor guard the folds in the palace, so they specially picked flowers for the emperor."
Concubine Li is a person with the name of a talented woman in the end, and even giving things is more innovative than others.
Even Yuanzhi had to sigh, "It's still your mind that is elegant, and you can think of this, which is more good than others." ”
