Dan zhu hesitated all night, and the next day she still went to Zhaohua Palace, and in the afternoon, she took Chui to Lumingtai and told Su Ruye: "Princess Rongshou has been crying at lunch, and Princess De has no choice but to send someone to Xuanming Palace to pray, and His Majesty said that dinner was placed in Zhaohua Palace, and I came back." ”
After a pause, she said, "Why do you want me to advise Concubine De to tell the Empress first, instead of directly mentioning Her Majesty?" So that Princess De would not suspect me of speaking for the Queen? ”
"Rongshou is a princess, not a prince, and now That Your Majesty has many things, it is reasonable to tell the Empress Dowager to decide first. The son is softer, the mention of the empress is justified, but the princess wants to think more, she is not the birth mother of Princess Rongshou, even the princess is not raised by her, if you first tell the queen as you say, if the queen takes the opportunity to say something in front of Her Majesty... Finding out that the princess did not think about tea and dinner during this time, even if His Majesty knew that it was because she missed the Four Highnesses and the late Concubine Niangniang, she would think in her heart that It was because Princess De did not care as much for the princess as she did for the concubines and the Four Highnesses. Su Ruye smiled and said, "So you don't mention the empress, but when you mention the empress, Princess De will directly report the matter to Your Majesty." ”
She let out a sigh, "Now it seems that Your Majesty still has some love for the only princess in the palace, so that the matter of the Four Highnesses has a little vitality." ”
"Sister Ruye has always been smart, and I am not up to it, so Sister Wanshi said I would do what I wanted, but the matter of Leng Taifei, my sister was not in a hurry at all, but I was really worried." Dan Zhu furrowed his brows, and with a look of joy on his face that had no plan to succeed, Zheng Se asked, "Sister, if not, just say that you went to Doujin Palace because of the warmth and warmth of the ground over there, and the weeping begonia plant in my yard that was given by the Empress Dowager last year was sick, and I wanted to temporarily move to the Doujin Palace for a few days, because I was not familiar with Lady Minli, so I begged my sister to say... Anyway, I am still young, this year's selection has little to do with me, besides, with my origin, it is impossible to be a concubine! ”
Su Ruye frowned slightly: "Although I have some calculating minds, I never take people who are single-mindedly considering me as scapegoats!" ”
"Sister!" Dan Zhu stomped his feet and had to tell the truth, "I just went to Zhaohua Palace, there are already many rumors spread throughout the palace, and Concubine De also hinted that Concubine De was quite dissatisfied with your move... Now that the Empress Dowager is ill, although The Empress Dowager has been personally ordered by Her Majesty to preside over the selection, Her Majesty has a great deal of respect for the Noble Concubine Niangniang... There are still so many show girls in Guihua Palace! ”
"Did Princess De only tell you this?" Did you mention showgirls? Su Ruye's eyes moved slightly, and he asked.
Dan Zhu thought about it carefully, "I only said that tonight the Empress Dowager held a banquet in the Imperial Garden and summoned some of them to attend." ”
"So you mean we're going too?" Su Ru was thoughtful.
"It seems that the noble concubine is also going to go."
Su Ruye nodded, "Since that's the case, then you should first go back to Fangyuan to change your clothes, and I will also re-freshen up." Seeing that Dan zhu still refused to leave, Su Ruye was helpless, so she had to nod her forehead, "You can rest assured, I will be fine." ”
Danju saw that she looked determined, so he left in disbelief.
At this time, it was already the beginning of Shen, Su Ru painted the floating water and the egret to come in to change clothes for themselves, the two knew the reasons were extremely cautious, opened the clothes box all, several times of deliberation, only to pick the ink green folded branch floral pattern makeup flower cardigan, under the yellow Luo silver mud skirt, put on the arm with a green light gauze drapery, floating water very carefully combed her hair and divided the bun, this bun is the most suitable girl, and chose a pair of jade hairpins with emerald green to be carved into the shape of hibiscus flowers and birds, and three pendants of eastern beads were placed around her ears.
The three eastern beads are large and small, and the higher they are, the larger they are, almost like the section of the little finger.
The wrist is a ring, and the hollow red gold ring contains pearls, which make a crunching sound with the movement.
The floating water also took the fine palace powder, carefully applied rouge to the surface, and outlined the distant mountain eyebrow shape with a dai pen, and the eyebrow center was pasted with a piece of red diamond-shaped yellow, which made the skin more and more white and greasy as snow.
After dressing up so carefully, Su Ru painted herself in the mirror, but saw the powder face slightly moist, mouth. With Dan color, his eyebrows were like green feathers, and his eyes were like water apricots, and he praised: "Floating water is indeed a good means." ”
"This is the young lady's birth, otherwise it is difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice, if you give the slave a ugly monster, the slave can only draw a mother's night fork." Floating water smiled humbly.
Su Ruye raised her hand and said, "You can take the pair of red gold rings in the makeup box." ”
Floating water is very happy, not that she values a pair of red gold rings so much, but since the last time Su Ruye knocked her, this is to show that it has been revealed. She thanked her happily, and then asked Su Ruyi: "The purse slave maid with miss's dress looks like two are suitable, which one does the lady want?" ”
Saying that the egret also just happened to take the purse up, Su Ruye looked up, only to see that one was embroidered with several bushes of goose yellow silk thread on a green background to welcome spring, and the other was the ink thread on the goose yellow bottom with a few strokes of distant mountains and water, and the colors of the two purses were similar to the dresses she was wearing today, and she pointed to the latter: "Bring this." ”
The egret owed her to tie it up, and also praised: "Although the young lady is also a beauty on weekdays, but now it is very eye-catching to dress up carefully!" ”
"This is what I said in Lumingtai, if you go outside, you can't get anywhere." Su Ruye smiled slightly, as a woman, everyone loves to listen to the words of praise for their appearance, even if they know that their appearance is flat, Su Ruye's self-portrait is inferior to Xiao Huo's, but it just so happens that Shaohua can also be called a flower-like jade, but among the show girls, there may not be anyone who can suppress the crowd, for example, Xiao Shen's family.
It was just getting ready here, and the flying gulls outside came in to pray, saying that Lord Danju and Zhou Yi'er had arrived.
Although Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruye have fallen out, because the King of Liang was abandoned, she is now more and more quiet, but today the empress held a banquet in the imperial garden, summoned xiunu and several girls raised in the palace to the banquet, clear-eyed people know that this is to compare the two sides, compared to the selected show girls into the palace, Su Ruhua's identity of these people is going to be a higher level, but the loss of people, just by looking enough to show the little Huo clan died, Zhang Juan's frail and sick is in Weiyang Palace, partial birth this time the show girls of the small Shen clan, Duanmu clan, Gu clan, etc., Are not idle characters, the reputation is even outside the palace have been heard, now is not the time to make a fuss to tell the show girls to see jokes, Although Zhou Yi'er knows this truth, she took the initiative to put down the shelf and come first.
Su Ruye was not surprised: "Invite them to sit down, and I will go out." Even if Zhou Yi'er didn't lower her head today, Su Ruyi would naturally go looking for her to go with her, and Zhou Yi'er also understood that since she was willing to take the initiative so much, she obviously got the command of Empress Zhou, that is, today's banquet was not generally difficult to go.
However, Su Ruye just smiled faintly at the bronze mirror, sooner or later this day will have, right? The owner of Weiyang Palace has never been one. If she couldn't even cope with tonight's scene, what qualifications did she have to think about what motherly world she wanted?
When Su Ru painted to the main hall, Zhou Yi'er and Dan Zhu were sitting on the guest seat drinking tea, Dan Zhu was not yet old, not to mention that this time the main selection was the two main rooms, which had little to do with her, so she only wore a spring shirt cut from the blue Xiangluan Miscellaneous Treasure Pattern Two-Color Luo, a cherry red Luo skirt underneath, a purple silk silk tapestry at the waist, a lotus bag with a silk pattern embroidery on the corner of the skirt and a sheep fat jade pendant pressed to prevent the wind from blowing, a double screw bun on the head, a gold ring on the head, a little cinnabar in the eyebrow, a little rouge on the eyebrow, and a jade bracelet on the wrist.
And Zhou Yi'er is a purple tang cardigan, under the bunch of apricot yellow eight treasures tangled branches lotus pattern woven gold skirt, long hair coiled into a spirit snake bun shape, in the middle of a tired gemstone hairpin bright dangling twinkling eyes, the ear is also a pair of ruby pendants, the chest is equipped with a red gold plate oyster ring, below a piece of jade the size of a baby's fist.
Seeing Su Ruhua come out, Dan Zhu hurriedly called out to Ruye's sister, and Zhou Yi'er also nodded lightly: "The empress dowager will set up a banquet in the imperial garden tonight, and some of the showgirls in Xuanguihua Palace will be attended by me and others, and then Your Majesty will also pass if she has time." ”
Su Ru saw that Dan Zhu's face was sad, knowing that she was worried that Chang Tai would not stay in the Zhaohua Palace for a long time because of this, and smiled secretly in her heart, if Chang Tai went to the Zhaohua Palace first, then it should be the empress who should be worried, and after Princess Rongshou mentioned Ganmei, Chang Tai was in a good mood and afraid of it...
The royal garden is very familiar to Su Ruyi and others, the open place has been arranged, just look at the seats on the top to know that tonight they are not so cautious, the top covered with bright yellow silk is only the empress, Changtai and the empress can use the seats, the second seat is four, three of which are generally the same, obviously for the Gui, Shu, and De three concubines of Zheng Yipin, the other position is slightly less on the top of the utensils, I think it should be Liu Xiuyi, who was named by Changtai to help the empress preside over the selection.
And below there are four seats on the opposite side, followed by the seats of the show girls, seeing this scene, Su Ru painted the corners of her mouth, the queen did this, but not to give them face, but to give the empress dowager, but also to tell the show girls, Su Rue, Zhou Yi'er, Zhang Juan, including Dan Zhu, in this palace, the identity is higher than them.
Never all the showgirls of Guihua Palace came, only part of it can be seen that this part must be the most promising, their family lineage and their own talents have been selected layer by layer, while Su Ruye and others were sent to the palace to raise them because of their infancy, naturally ranked in front of them, which is equivalent to the two sides have not yet officially met, already contained hostility...
The queen and others have not yet arrived, but the show girl has already come for a long time, all of them have been dressed up with their hearts, and at first glance, they only feel the flowers and branches, and the fragrance is gusting. Seeing that Su Ruye had arrived at the three of them, several unkind eyes suddenly swept over.
"That little Shen Clan is such a big shelf." Zhou Yi'er ignored these eyes, looked carefully in the crowd, and suddenly opened his mouth.
"She is the leader of the show girls this time, so naturally she has to be self-conscious." Su Ruye said calmly.
Zhou Yi'er and Shen Zipei had an old grudge, and they snorted more and more disdainfully.
Su Ruye also ignored her, suddenly looked at her, walked towards one of the seats, Dan Juqi said: "Ruye sister saw the people she knew?" Dan Zhu was the lord of Dongjiaoguo County, and when he was young, he was taken into the palace, and he was not familiar with the bridesmaids outside the palace, so Su Ruye explained: "It is my cousin." ”
"How did you get here so early?" Su Ruyan was quite surprised, seeing that the left and right eyes were all looking over, frowning, standing up, "Let's go to a secluded place and say." ”
"It just so happens that people are not together for some time." Su Ruye nodded, "This is Lord Danju and Miss Zhou Family." ”
Su Ruyan owed danzhu a debt, danzhu was busy paying back half a gift, to Zhou Yi'er, Su Ruyan only glanced at it, did not pay any more attention, and then pulled Su Ruye to the banquet: "County Lord, I have a few words to ask my sister, and also ask the county lord to enter the table first, and then Ru Painting will come over." ”
"Okay." Danju saw that the sisters were going to talk alone, nodded, and did not follow.
After arriving at a tree, Su Ruye was surprised: "Why are you here alone?" What about Cousin Rumo? ”
"Don't mention it." Su Ru stained his face, "We Have a total of six girls in the Su family this time, the primary selection is repeated, you also know that this time the main choice of concubines, because there is already a quasi-concubine in the palace, like Ru Miao, these girls have gradually fallen, staying until now, only me." ”
Su Rumiao's failure to be elected is expected, after all, Su Ruyi was raised under the knee of the empress dowager, and she was the imperial daughter-in-law who was determined internally, and the girls of the Su family to the age of the selection naturally could not stay more, so as not to occupy the family share next to them, so that the Su family was powerful. These are all tacit, so An Shi and Lady Tai'an Jun have already said goodbye to Su Rumiao, which will make Su Rumiao estimated that she was already preparing to marry at home.
However, Su Rumo's failure to be elected was an accident: "In addition to the title of Duke of Dingguo, the eldest uncle has long resigned from his position, and the fourth uncle is still loyal to the country, how can it be that the cousin you left behind and the cousin Rumo lost the election?" Su Ruye was puzzled.
Su Ruyan sneered, "This is the good thing she made with her boudoir friend, the daughter of the Shen family who is at the top of the limelight this time!" ”
Su Ruye suddenly sank her face: "What did she do?" Is there anything wrong with Cousin Rumo? ”
"It's not a big deal, but my foot is sprained, and I have two small cuts on my face, which will not leave scars, but I was also sent back by Shen Shufei under the guise of compassion." Although Su Ruyan and Su Rumo have always been at odds, but in the end it is the sister of the same family, if Su Rumo is made like this by herself or Su Ruye, it will be enough, the partial life is the hands of people from other families, at this moment it is natural to put aside the private grudges, angrily told Su Ruye, "In fact, they don't move, the two of us will also find a way to lose, this is also what my father and uncle have told, in order not to block your way, but the later we are sent home, the more convenient it is for you to pay attention to the restlessness in the show girls, For example, Xiao Shen's family can also guess more about its true temperament, so that you can make a preparation, the Shen family also sees this, so in advance to get away Ru Mo's cousin, I am fortunate that Ru Mo is alert, otherwise... When I went out just now, fortunately, the palace maid walked in front, and a basin of hot water spilled out of a show girl's door diagonally opposite! Hearing the screams is a misunderstanding! ”
"There is no lord in our palace, and such a loss cannot be eaten, but... hot water? Su Ruye cut his teeth and said, "Really when our Su family is all dough?" ”
Su Ruyan sneered: "That show girl is almost the same today, it is estimated that Shen Shufei or Empress Zhou promised her any benefits, splashed the basin of water, it is estimated that the luggage is packed and planned to go back... Little Shen Shi, you are not convenient to do, this show girl..."
"What is her name, you tell me, calculated our sisters, still thinking about the future of Splendid?" Su Ruye immediately interrupted her.
Su Ruyan snorted, "You still have to worry about this kind of trivial matter, so your father and uncle will teach us to clear the way for you in the selection... I've solved it! ”
