Chu Yingluo's eyes turned around in the imperial garden. When she saw the lily, she couldn't help but wrinkle her nose. "I asked why my nose was itchy. It turned out to be..."
So, it's not like anyone missed her.
Liu Xianxian followed her line of sight and asked, "My sister is allergic to lilies?"
Chu Yingluo shook her head: "It's not that I'm allergic, it's just that the floral fragrance of lilies is too strong and pungent. Compared to lilies, I prefer orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, which only have a faint fragrance."
Seeing that it was blooming beautifully, Chu Yingluo reached out and picked the nearest bunch of Phalaenopsis.
Su Liuyan's eyes were startled, and just as she was about to say something, a scolding sound came from not far away.
"How dare you pick flowers from the Royal Garden? Do you want to be beheaded?"
Chu Yingluo looked around.
I saw several women walking towards me, each of them carefully dressed, followed by palace maids and eunuchs.
Chu Yingluo's eyes were slightly bright, and she squinted and looked carefully. Could these people be the ladies in the harem? Gee, this emperor has really good taste. The beauties in the harem are all beauties, one is younger and more beautiful than the other.
Sure enough, the emperor is lucky~
While Chu Yingluo was admiring the beauty, Su Liuyan and Liu Xianxian had already bowed.
"I have seen Concubine Yu, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Hua."
Su Liuyan leaned forward slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu, this is the first time for the fourth princess to come to the palace. She doesn't know the rules of the palace. I hope you will forgive me and don't blame me."
The person who just scolded her sternly was none other than Concubine Yu. Among the four concubines, she was the most enchanting.
She stepped forward with a hint of arrogance in her brows and eyes: "Oh, who do I think she is? It turns out to be the fourth princess. No one can pick the flowers in the royal garden except the emperor. If you pick them, you will be contemptuous of the emperor." , will be beheaded! I heard that the fourth princess will soon be buried with the fourth prince, no wonder she is so bold. Is it because she is going to be buried with her, so she is not even afraid of death? "
Chu Yingluo covered up the fluctuation in her eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu, everyone loves beauty. I just saw this flower blooming so brightly that I wanted to take it back with me. I didn't know that flowers in the imperial garden are not allowed to be picked at will." Yes, I hope your Majesty will forgive me... Besides, Your Majesty, there are three thousand beauties in the harem. No matter how beautiful the flowers in the Royal Garden are, they are not even half as beautiful as those of the Empress. It doesn’t matter if you pick them. If you leave them here, It will only desecrate the face of the empress."
Concubine Yu curled her lips and sneered: "Oh, you are so glib."
Chu Yingluo pursed her lips and smiled: "What I said is true. The empress is graceful and graceful, and the orchids are dull. They are not as gorgeous and noble as peonies. I feel that only peonies are worthy of the empress, so you see, I didn't pick them, then. Peonies are much more noble than orchids~"
Concubine Yu turned her head and glanced at the gorgeous peonies, with a happy smile on her lips: "Of course, peonies are beautiful and fragrant, and naturally only I can match them."
Concubine Yu was already immersed in narcissism and forgot to be angry, so Chu Yingluo quietly put the orchid into her sleeve.
I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't know that the painted concubine refused to let me go. Concubine Tongyu whispered: "My queen, are you just going to let her pick the flowers in the imperial garden? In my opinion, this matter is not a trivial matter and cannot be ignored. Forget it, otherwise someone might make a mistake next time. If someone comes to pick one in the future, won’t the flowers in the Royal Garden be plucked bare?"
Chu Yingluo frowned. Does this concubine have a grudge against her? Why do you like to gossip so much? We have never met before. Isn't it good to live in peace and harmony?
Fortunately, a beautiful sister spoke up for her.
Concubine Zhuang Xian glanced at Chu Yingluo, then looked at the painting concubine, and said calmly: "Sister, today is the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet, we'd better not cause any trouble because of this trivial matter, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are so It doesn’t matter if there’s more or less, but if this matter reaches the ears of the Emperor and delays the Queen’s birthday, I’m afraid the Emperor will be furious.”
The painting concubine turned around and glared at her, her tone very arrogant and willful: "Don't use the emperor to pressure us. In this harem, apart from the empress, the emperor's favorite is concubine Yu. Concubine Yu is always right in everything she does. Besides, even if the Queen knew about it, she would still be on our side."
Concubine Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. She and Concubine Zhuang Xian had always been rivals, and now she wanted to give her a show of strength, and at the same time establish her own prestige and let her know who was the boss here.
She raised her lips and spoke forcefully: "The painting concubine is right. It is already very hard for the Queen to be in charge of the harem. The Emperor asked me to assist the Queen with harem affairs. I can just handle this small matter and it will not reach the ears of the Emperor." , but it’s Wang Wang’s first offense, so let’s slap her palms ten times as punishment, right?”
Chu Yingluo's pupils shrank and she slapped her palms?
No way......
Damn it, why are you dragging this princess into your palace fight? Are these empresses having a good time in the palace?
And this damn painter, why should I pick your flowers? A dog is nosy when it comes to mice!
Seeing that Concubine Yu was so powerful, the painting concubine couldn't help but smile proudly: "The concubine is wise!"
Suddenly, Concubine Zhuang Xian came over, put her hands to her mouth, and whispered to the two of them: "Look at what she is wearing, it is the Queen Mother's jade bracelet. If you are not afraid of the Emperor, are you not afraid of the Queen Mother blaming her?" ?"
Concubine Yu and Concubine Hua then looked over, and their eyes widened when they saw the jade bracelet on Chu Yingluo's hand. They thought Concubine Zhuang Xian was deceiving them, but who knew it was true... ..
Chu Yingluo's hand is wearing the jade bracelet gifted by the Queen Mother, so doesn't she belong to the Queen Mother? !
Concubine Yu and Concubine Hua languished in an instant, losing their previous momentum.
Concubine Yu thought for a while and decided to settle the matter. She said: "Forget it, such a trivial matter is really not worth my troubles. Let's go. It's more important to attend the Queen's Qianqiu Banquet."
The painting concubine swallowed her saliva and said nervously: "Okay, let's go."
After saying that, Hua Bi took Concubine Yu in her arms and walked away in a hurry.
Looking at the two people leaving in a hurry, Chu Yingluo frowned, feeling very strange in her heart.
what happened?
Why did the two people who just said they were going to hit her palms run away?
She looked at Concubine Zhuang Xian who was standing there and didn't know what she said, but it didn't matter what she said. After all, this beautiful sister helped her. So Chu Yingluo looked at her and smiled and said, "Thank you, empress." Relief."
Concubine Zhuang Xian smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, if you see them in the future, just take a detour."
Chu Yingluo secretly lowered her eyes and thought disapprovingly that she would not take a detour. If she had a chance to meet again next time, she would be careful about them. She had already memorized the faces of Yu Fei and Hua Bi.
