Chapter 101 102: Why can't the emperor see it?
Tai Ju came over with a beauty bottle in her arms, and gently placed it on the table.
Feng Yunjin looked it over carefully. If she only looked at it from the outside, she didn't see anything wrong. The white porcelain was delicate, and a plum blossom bloomed on the bottle. She picked up the vase and shook it gently, and finally put it on her nose to sniff, but there was no smell.
Song Jieyu said that prosperity and decline, what is prosperity and decline?
Does it refer to a person or a thing?
Feng Yunjin couldn't figure it out. Song Jieyu was not a nonsense person, let alone a meddling person. Now to remind myself, it is definitely not aimless.
But she couldn't find a clue now, so she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
No matter how full the flowers bloom in Mid-Autumn Festival, they will also flourish and decline...
The mid-autumn flowers... definitely refer to flower arrangements, so prosperity and decline must refer to people. There are so many people. There are so many people in this palace, which one does it refer to?
Flower arrangement was started by Chen Guiji, and Qin Guipin discovered it and promoted it, and then everyone in the harem followed...
Who to follow?
Of course not Chen Guiji.
Feng Yunjin's complexion became a little subtle, could it be Concubine Qin Gui?
She heard that Concubine Qin Gui had just visited Song Jieyu, and no matter how she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't guess what happened, so she asked Song Jieyu to warn her.
Feng Yunjin asked someone to put away the vase, and her expression returned to normal. She looked at Ai Ju and said, "You go to Huayang Palace and ask if Concubine Qin Gui is free. I want to visit."
Tai Ju quickly responded, turned around and left.
As soon as Ai Ju left, she entered the painting and replied, "Master, Concubine Lu sent someone over to invite you to drink tea."
Feng Yunjin didn't expect such a coincidence, she thought for a while and said: "You go to Yihua Palace, and help me to accuse Concubine Lu, and say that I will come over to disturb tomorrow."
Ru Hua nodded, "I'll just go for a while, servant girl."
"Go."
Feng Yunjin was suffering from a headache. On a Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a Tanabata banquet, wouldn't it be nice to pass by An Ansheng?
There must be some trouble. If Song Jieyu is provoked, with her temperament, why not turn the harem upside down?
A Jieyu is naturally not dreadful, but Jieyu is protected by the emperor, which is different.
Thinking about the Qixi Festival, Feng Yunjin's face is not very good-looking.
Having been in the palace for a few months, the emperor seems to be only interested in Song Jieyu, even the three concubines have fallen out of favor. Before they entered the palace, the three concubines were still able to share the favor, but now it is good. The emperor on the side of the three concubines only occasionally went to sit and drink a cup of tea and play chess at most, and never stayed overnight again.
Thinking about it this way, it is possible that someone can’t sit still.
Ai Ju came back quickly, knowing that Concubine Qin Gui was free, Feng Yunjin changed her clothes and went to Huayang Palace. She had to pass through Concubine Lu’s Cuiwei Palace. Today’s Cuiwei Palace is much quieter than before. She didn’t go the way of Zhaoyang Palace, but bypassed Zhaoyang Palace to Huayang Palace.
Zhuang Concubine of Zhaoyang Palace is not easy to fool, Feng Yunjin does not want to attract attention.
Entering Huayang Palace, Fangping came out to greet her, "My servant has seen Feng Xiaoyuan, our master knows that Xiaoyuan is coming, so let this servant wait for you here."
"It's time to work." Feng Yunjin said with a smile.
"This is what a servant girl should do." Fangping said as she walked along the front road.
Stepping up the steps into the hall, Feng Yunjin followed Fangping all the way into the inner hall.
Qin Xiyue got up and took a few steps when she heard the movement, Feng Yunjin came in and greeted people when she saw someone, "I have seen your concubine."
Qin Xiyue looked at Feng Yunjin and smiled very affectionately, "You are still so polite to me, it's rare for you to come and talk to me, please sit down."
Feng Yunjin smiled and thanked, then got up and sat down.
Fang Ping brought the palace servants to bring tea, Feng Yunjin looked at the teacup in front of her, the soup was clear and fragrant, the tea seemed to be better than Song Jieyu's.
Picking up the teacup, he took a sip of the tea, praised the good tea, and said, "I'm so clumsy that I really don't know how to arrange flowers. Today, I planted more than a dozen vases of flowers in Yanqing Palace, but none of them caught my eye. It seems that I really don't have such a talent, and I had to quit with hatred for Mid-Autumn Festival flower arrangement."
As Feng Yunjin spoke, she stretched out her hand to show Qin Xiyue.
Qin Xiyue lowered her head, and saw deep red marks on Feng Yunjin's fingers, which were sharpened by scissors.
She looked at the other party in surprise, "Things like cutting flowers and branches should be done by palace servants, why did you do it yourself?"
"It's not that I didn't think of it for a while, so I started it myself, thinking that flower arrangement is very simple, but I don't know it is not easy at all." Feng Yunjin sighed, "I can't even frown when I read books, but I didn't expect mere flower arrangement to stump me."
Qin Xiyue just laughed, "It's such a big deal, if you really can't do it, then you will come to judge."
Feng Yunjin's eyebrows twitched when she heard this, and she immediately said: "How is this possible? There are three empresses here, how can it be my turn, let alone your concubine, you and Song Jieyu, I am a little girl, I dare not do such a thing."
Qin Xiyue heard Feng Yunjin mentioning Song Yunzhao, and said helplessly, "I also went to Wangyou Palace to invite Song Jieyu to participate, but Song Jieyu refused directly."
"Rejected?" Feng Yunjin was full of surprise, "Flower arrangement is an elegant thing. Song Jieyu loves beauty so much. Presumably she should like such things. Why did she refuse?"
Qin Xiyue sighed, "I also don't understand, Yun Jin, you have always been smart, why do you think Song Jieyu refused? Could it be that she really wants such a person to go on in the harem?"
Feng Yunjin looked solemnly, looked at Qin Xiyue and said: "Song Jieyu always did things in her own way when she was in the **** palace, and after entering the palace, she was favored by the emperor. It's not surprising that she acts alone with her personality."
After a pause, "Actually, you can't be considered a loner. The relationship between Han Jinyi and Song Jieyu is pretty good. However, it's just a little bit better. Speaking of which, I don't know if Han Jinyi can arrange flowers?"
Qin Xiyue shook her head, "She learns everything from Song Jieyu now, and she won't do it if Song Jieyu doesn't come. It's really helpless."
Feng Yunjin sighed after hearing this, "Han Jinyi is not a child, since she has her own plan for doing this, everyone has his own ambition, so there is no need to force it."
Qin Xiyue lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, and said softly: "I thought that we all grew up in the capital, and there was some affection, so I thought about inviting Han Jinyi together. I didn't expect her... Well, you are right, everyone has his own ambition, and we can't force it." Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Feng Yunjin, "This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is handled by Concubine Zhuang. Some are busy."
Feng Yunjin's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words. She pretended to be thinking, and shook her head for a while, "I won't go, Concubine Zhuang always treats me indifferently, and I don't want to be annoying. Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is not a trivial matter, and I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, it will inevitably make people angry."
Fearing that Qin Xiyue would try to persuade her, she immediately got up and said goodbye, "I know that your concubine has good intentions and wants me to show my face, but I really don't have the good fortune to let you down."
Qin Xiyue knew that this matter was not going to happen as soon as she heard it. Seeing that Feng Yunjin had made up her mind to go, she could only say: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, and I don't have much contact with Concubine Zhuang. It's just that the Empress sent someone over to ask me to help me about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I couldn't refuse and went."
Feng Yunjin smiled and said: "It's a good thing to be valued by the concubine Zhuang. Your concubine stays here, and the concubine will come to bother you another day."
Qin Xiyue sent people away with a smile, and when Feng Yunjin's back disappeared, the smile on her face also sank.
She thought that Feng Yunjin would not refuse. Although Feng Yunjin was born in the family of a military general, she was very cautious in doing things. I dare not say that she was resourceful, but she was also smarter than ordinary women.
She wanted to draw people into her camp, so that the two could work together to make further progress in the harem.
Right now, Feng Yunjin is unwilling to take this step, and she doesn't believe a word about clumsiness.
Qin Xiyue returned to the inner hall, if it doesn't work this time, there will be another time, as long as Feng Yunjin doesn't stand by Song Yunzhao's side.
If she really joins forces with Song Yunzhao, I can't let her go.
Thinking of Song Yunzhao, Qin Xiyue thought of the news from home, and her heart was not as urgent as before. Song Qinghan married Wu Xinhou's mansion, which was a good thing for her, and it depended on how Song Qinghan could help her do things.
However, it is not difficult to think about it. Although Song Qinghan and Song Yunzhao are sisters, they are almost enemies. As long as she promises a little favor, I don’t believe that Song Qinghan will not take the bait.
"jacaranda."
"Master." Jacaranda walked in quickly.
"Is everything on Chen Guiji's side properly arranged?" Qin Xiyue asked.
Hua Ying said with a smile: "It's all arranged, and it's because the master is kind. You have prepared everything Chen Guiji wants. If the flower arrangement at this Mid-Autumn Festival wins the emperor's favor, she may not be willing to claim credit for the master."
Qin Xiyue glanced at the jacaranda, "It's just a matter of convenience. It's rare for Chen Guiji to have such a clever mind. It's not easy for everyone to help you."
Huaying heard this and said softly: "I've never been in such a domineering Song Jieyu. With so many concubines in the harem, how could she not be favored all the time? Now that she has offended people, I don't know how much she will suffer when she fades away. It's also the master who is kind-hearted. He even went to Wangyou Palace to invite Song Jieyu to participate in the flower arrangement, but was rejected. Song Jieyu acted like this, the master should not think about the old friendship."
After hearing Hua Ying's words, Qin Xiyue showed a helpless smile, "You, you have to restrain your mouth a bit. You are not allowed to say these things outside. If someone overhears you, it will not be a good thing."
Hua Ying heard this, and said softly: "The master is such a good person, why can't the emperor see it?"
The first update will be sent in the early morning, and there will be another update in the morning. Thank you for your support, ok.
