Chapter 168, Coincidence
"Sister, what are you writing?"
Shi Fuyin was left in the Xiu Palace, somewhat unexpected by Shi Zheng and his family, Shi Dinghao saw his parents worried, and wanted to talk to Shi Fuxin, so he came to Lanyue Tower.
As soon as she came over, she saw Shi Fuxin writing something with her head down at her desk.
"Eldest Prince, Ye Mo, Miracle Doctor Zhan, Young Lord Cai, Eldest Prince Zhao."
Shi Dinghao looked at the black words on the white paper, couldn't help but read out in a low voice, and then asked suspiciously: "Sister, what are you writing these for?"
Shi Fuxin put down her pen: "I was wondering if there is any way I can help my sister." As she spoke, she looked at the names on the paper.
These are all the people she knows who have the ability to enter the palace.
Shi Dinghao: "Didn't you say that even if the third sister stayed in the palace, she might not be selected?"
Shi Fuxin: "Isn't this just in case?"
Shi Dinghao looked at the list and analyzed each one one by one: "The status of the eldest prince is valuable enough, but he is weak and sick all the year round, and rarely enters the palace. He may not be expected."
"Master Ye seems to be powerful, but in fact he is walking on thin ice. The officials of the Manchu Dynasty are not afraid of him. If they ask him to help, they may not help, but cause other troubles."
"Miraculous doctor Zhan is famous for being nosy, and sister, haven't you told him that you are his junior sister?"
"Lord Cai Xiaohou is a good choice. We have a jade pendant from Governor Cai. We are not afraid that he will not agree. However, Governor Cai was assassinated and he went to the northwest, and he hasn't returned to Beijing yet."
"Mr. Zhao. If he could help, brother would have already said so. I guess it won't work."
These, Shi Fuxin also thought of, sighed, picked up a pen, and crossed the names one by one: "Sis is in the palace, what we can do is really limited."
Shi Dinghao: "Sister, I don't think we should worry too much. The third sister has a good idea. I believe she can handle her own affairs. Besides, I still have brother to watch."
Shi Fuxin nodded: "I hope."
Chuxiu Palace.
Because of the strict rules of the palace, after the girls moved in, they were all amiable on the surface, but secretly they often compared and fought with each other.
Shi Fuyin and Xiahou Huanyan lived in the same room, neither of them wanted to be selected, so they lived quite comfortably, but they also had troubles.
Xiahou Huanyan has to work hard to entertain other girls who come to visit, and Shi Fuyin also needs to meet Shi Fuyue and Zeng Ruoyun from time to time.
"Second sister, I heard that you often go out with Miss Zeng these two days?"
Shi Fuyin pulled Shi Fuyue to the corner and asked in a low voice.
Shi Fuyue looked a little uncomfortable, and said vaguely: "We just walked casually, not far." Cousin Zeng dragged her out of Chuxiu Palace, hoping to meet the emperor or prince by chance.
Shi Fuyin: "Second sister, the nuns have repeatedly told us not to walk around at random, we cannot afford to bump into nobles."
Shi Fuyue was a little unconcerned: "Third sister, you are making too much of a fuss, and we are not the only ones who go out. Many beautiful girls went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, and nothing happened to them. Cousin Zeng and I have nothing to do." go away."
Seeing that Fuyin still wanted to say more, she immediately said, "Okay, I know what to do, I won't mess around." After finishing speaking, she turned and left.
Watching her walk away, Shi Fuyin frowned.
Shi Fuyin said worriedly: "I'm afraid she fell into someone else's trap."
Xiahou Huanyan shrugged: "That's something that can't be helped. If a person just has empty ambitions without the corresponding strength, he will definitely be tricked."
Shi Fuyin looked at Shi Fuyue's disappearing back: "Maybe it's a good thing to be rejected."
The two didn't say any more, and went back to the house.
The show girls lived in the Chuxiu Palace for several days. When the show girls were bored, the Kunning Palace finally sent a message to let the show girls get ready and prepare to go to see the Queen Mother tomorrow.
The next morning, the show girls got up and got ready. They got dressed early and waited to see the Queen Mother.
However, no one came to call them until noon.
After lunch, Xiahou Huanyan was called away by several girls from the Duke’s family, and Shi Fuyin stayed in the room alone. Just as she was about to take a nap on the bed, Zeng Ruoyun rushed in.
"Sister Fuyin, Fuyue is going to pick plum blossoms at the Plum Blossom Pavilion. I can't help but call her back quickly."
"I've heard that Concubine Liu Gui's favorite place to go in winter is the Plum Blossom Pavilion. If Fuyue meets Concubine Liu Gui, what should I do?"
Looking at the anxious Zeng Ruoyun, Shi Fuyin's expression didn't fluctuate, but after a moment of silence with her lowered eyes, she still stood up and led the maid out of the room.
"Sister Fuyin, I ran too fast just now, so I won't go with you."
Shi Fuyin glanced at Zeng Ruoyun, who was standing motionless at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, and nodded: "Miss Zeng, rest well."
Seeing Shi Fuyin walk away, the corners of Zeng Ruoyun's mouth curled up.
She has already received the news that the Empress Dowager's people will come to ask them to pay a visit. If Shi Fuyin is not there, the Empress Dowager will definitely be annoyed, and she may be kicked out of the palace at that time.
On the other side, Gan Tang looked at Shi Fuyin worriedly: "Girl, let's just come out like this, okay?"
Shi Fuyin said lightly: "We are here to find someone, no matter who asks, it is reasonable."
Gan Tang: "But I always feel that Miss Zeng is not so kind."
Shi Fuyin smiled: "It doesn't matter if she is kind or not."
No matter what traps there are at the Plum Blossom Pavilion, or Zeng Ruoyun deliberately sent her out of Chuxiu Palace, she will definitely leave a bad impression on the nobles who pay attention to beautiful women.
But she doesn't want to be selected, the quality of her impression is not important to her at all, if she is kicked out of the palace because of this, then she has to thank Zeng Ruoyun.
Plum Blossom Pavilion is easy to find. It is located in the southwest corner of Miyagi, standing in the center of plum trees.
Shi Fuyin wandered around in the plum forest, but she didn't see Shi Fuyue, she immediately understood that Zeng Ruoyun sent herself out of Chuxiu Palace on purpose.
The most important thing for the showgirls today is to meet the Queen Mother. To her, this is not a big deal, so she immediately felt relieved.
It is now late November, and the winter plums have been released temporarily. Walking in the plum forest, smelling the faint fragrance of plums, and seeing the little red in the frost and snow, Fuyin really gave birth to the heart of plum appreciation.
"No wonder so many literati like plum blossoms, they are really beautiful."
Plum shoots and branches, beautiful shadows stand upright.
Furong noodles, smell the cold fragrance.
In the pavilion more than ten meters away, Xiao Ziqing picked more than ten plum blossoms and was holding a hand warmer to warm his hands when he saw Shi Fuyin standing under the plum tree and smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms.
