The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 336
[336. Chapter 336 Beware]
After listening to the play for a while, everyone went to the garden together to see the famous Strelitzia, which is said to be the concubine of the Eighth Highness, and the Si family made a special trip to buy from Jinzhou.
“This flower, she is so sweet. The outer petals are magenta, and the inner core is orchid. The stigma is frost-colored, and it looks like a crane with its head held high. In winter, the sun is shining under the sun. The water is full. In the summer, the whole plant The flowers have to be covered with silk gauze again. Although it is difficult to raise, it is fortunate that His Royal Highness has been served by others, and the concubine will keep it for occasional entertainment.”
Si Shi’s face is delicate, her figure is exquisite, and she has a soft tone. It is comparable to Helian Weirui for a night or two less. Especially in recent months, Zong Zhenghan has come to her house for a few more nights, and there is a slight tendency to overwhelm her.
She was originally a side concubine, and could justifiably step on the women of the Helian family under her feet, while Si’s eyes were faintly flamboyant by taking advantage of the flowers. Although she is not as smart as Helian Weirui to please His Highness, when it comes to serving men, no one in the family is better at it than her.
A few steps behind the crowd, Helian Weirui seemed to be oblivious to the woman next to Zong Zhenghan at all. Taking advantage of today’s rare opportunity, she has more important matters that must be found out.
“Sister thinks this flower is good?” Because of the sisterhood, she happened to be able to get close to all the female relatives of His Royal Highness’s house. And the person she was looking for should be among them.
“If you like to see it, go and please your Highness.” Mingming didn’t want to see her anymore, but this woman was able to brazenly follow her all the way. Helian Minmin looked indifferent, and supported Gui Li and took a step to the side.
There was a flash of light in the bottom of his eyes, Helian Weirui narrowed her eyes slightly, raised the corner of her mouth, and simply retreated to Zhang’s side, which was more in line with her mind.
“Although Strelitzia is good, my concubine heard that there are even rarer flowering trees in the two Jins. Every year when the flowering period is reached, they only bloom and do not grow leaves. Only when the flowers wither, the leaves will sprout and sprout. Very It’s interesting.”
“What’s the name of that flower? It’s good to have a look when you get a chance.” The former princess heard this, and she became interested in this strange thing she had never seen before.
“It seems to be something from Lan, I can’t remember it.” Helian Weirui seemed embarrassed. After all, she started this sentence. If she couldn’t answer it, she would be suspected of grandstanding.
“The slave-maid vaguely remembers that it seems that there is such a flower. The two Jin people call it ‘white orchid’.” Qi knows fragrance, and she is familiar with the study of flowers.
“‘White Orchid’? Go back and ask His Highness. If you can get it, you can put it in the house to play and have a look.” The prince has been honestly in front of Emperor Yuancheng these days, and the emperor rarely praised “Growing”. , the Crown Princess also relaxed in her heart. At this moment, I don’t care about her little concubine, and there is no way to interject in such a situation.
The Crown Princess didn’t blame her, but Helian Minmin gave her a cold glance, staring at Qi Shi’s neck immediately, she couldn’t help shivering.
Although she didn’t control her temperament, she broke the rules in front of the female family members of various governments, how could she provoke such rude eyes from Concubine Helian? Even if she implicated the Helian Clan to get the reputation of “ineffective discipline”, she shouldn’t give her such a cold look. It felt like Shengjing fell into a cold pool when it was the coldest, with frost in her bones.
Since the beginning of this conversation, Helian Weirui secretly checked everyone’s expressions. When it comes to “flowers without leaves”, others are curious, but there are only three people, and their expressions are slightly different from everyone else.
Qi Shi, who just opened his mouth, flashed with excitement and smugness in his eyes, which completely matched the show he showed later. And the other person…is the Wan Shi who she didn’t remember very much. She is also in the same position as a concubine. In the eyes of that woman, it is not unusual or obvious, but she is hiding in a trance!
The abnormality that Wan Shi revealed in an instant was caught by her without any precaution. Unexpectedly, such a silent woman, who can hardly even remember her name, is actually the one in the palace of the Sixth Highness, most likely, the most buried one!
Now that he had the bottom line, Helian Wei looked at He Lian Min’s arrogant back with interest, and couldn’t help sneering to himself, extremely mocking. Her sister-in-law has been asked for her life several times, and now she is on guard, will it be too late?
The third person just now was Helian Minmin who instantly shrank his pupils. It’s a pity that her sister has never been a book lover. Today’s misunderstanding, I’m afraid it will be difficult for Qi’s to go back and get a good deal.
Throwing off the veil to join in the fun, after finding out the details, I will try her later. It’s not a problem to be in the same place with the woman in His Royal Highness’s mansion.
Helian Minmin supported Gui Li, and winked at Mammy Feng who was following him. The two of them turned their eyes around Qi’s body, and when they looked at each other again, there was a decision in their eyes.
At noon, the princes and their relatives sat in the hall with the chief case. The courtiers and wives and young ladies next to them gathered more than 20 tables full of lively outside. It can be seen that there are not a few people who have been invited to the Eighth Highness’s house to congratulate him.
The dishes on the table are extremely rich, with a suitable combination, and the aroma is attractive. There are light seasonal vegetables, as well as fresh shrimp and fish that make one’s forefinger move. Obviously, the person who organized the banquet took a lot of thought, and the etiquette and rules of the family banquet were well controlled.
Afterwards, the maid and everyone added fruit wine simmered in a small porcelain stove to the white jade wine cups in front of each of them. In the winter, a sip of the sweet and warm wine only made people feel comfortable and warmed up all over the body.
“This banquet is not bad.” Among the female family members, the crown princess has the highest position. Since the master opened his mouth and praised it, the people below followed him with praise, calling the concubine Chen Shi, the concubine of the Eighth Highness, to be more humble. “A concubine can do it alone, and Concubine Helian is on the side to help, otherwise, how could a concubine think so thoughtfully.”
Helian Weirui hurriedly waved his hand and put all the credit on Chen’s head. She has ulterior motives, and it is useless to attract the attention of others.
Everyone in the banquet was full of praise for the various dishes. Helian Weirui took a spoon and tasted the blood duck soup with a faint smile in her drooping eyes.
In the afternoon, everyone heard the play again, during which Wan Jingwen got up and carefully confessed to Helian Minmin, and after she agreed, she took Zhu Jin to the back clean room.
“Sister Wan, walk slowly.”
Turning around the corner along the corridor, she was greeted by Concubine Helian, who was following behind, before she took two steps. Wan Jingwen had to stop and wait for her to approach.
“Do you want to be with my sister?” The two of them didn’t have much friendship, so it was considered polite to talk like this.
He held her arm cordially, Helian Wei smiled elegantly, and looked familiar no matter what. “I called my elder sister, so I wanted to go together. By the way, I also went out for a walk and talked to my son. After staying inside for a long time, the sound of the gongs and drums made my sister feel dizzy.”
Can you speak to your son? What can she say to Helian Weirui? I couldn’t meet twice in a year, but today, for some unknown reason, this woman suddenly became affectionate…
