It is said that women love beauty, which even virtuous concubines can't deny. For beauty, exclamation is everyone's instinct, but jealousy is also every woman's instinct.
The little princess disappeared for a few days, it seems that she has a more heart-catching charm. Even if her back stops there, it is already the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Beauty is indeed a natural advantage. There is a sadness in the eyes of Xianfei. She is not favored by heaven. She is more beautiful than beautiful. Her beauty is not enough, so she has been unknown for so many years in the past. In the end, she has to rely on her indomitable tenacity to come to today. She is always regretful for not having beautiful tools.
She couldn't help thinking that if she had the beauty of a little princess from the beginning, would her fate be different, that she would not waste so many years in the harem, that she would not be quiet and indifferent for so many years, that she would not stick to that little position for so many years, and that the court was deeply moved.
It is said that she is indifferent to tranquility, but who knows, what is this tranquility, this indifferent in exchange for?
It's in exchange for more than ten years of keeping the empty boudoir alone!
There is no prominent family background, no attractive beauty, in this deep palace, she can only rely on step-by-step forbearance, step-by-step low-key, in order to make herself safe, and the more than ten years of forbearance and long companion control palace, even if at the beginning it is a dynamic heart, it will not be a little excited by time?
"Mother, mother!" Around the maid of honor whispered in the ears of the virtuous concubine sounded.
The virtuous imperial concubine shook her mind, and then raised her head as if nothing had happened. She heard her confidant continue to remind her, "the little princess just talked to you, let you pass."
I talked to her, lost in thought, but didn't hear her. The virtuous imperial concubine smiles to the little princess apologetically, sees that under the tree only sits the little princess a person, the person who loves the temple all stands in this side, looks at each other from afar, she then knew that perhaps must say some private words, swings the hand also to let the palace maid who brings nearby wait here, she alone walks toward the place where the little princess is.
"Your Highness." Xianfei stood, expecting to bring a trace of respect, and even the deep fear and uneasiness. She could not help guessing what the little princess came to her for, what she wanted to say to her, or what she wanted her to do.
"Don't be so nervous. Sit down. A few days ago, I got some precious tea from my father and Emperor. Today, I want to invite my wife to taste tea and have a chat. "
Gu Qingxin didn't look at her either. She was skillful in her hand, and the action of boiling tea like flowing water was as pleasing to the eye as a beautiful scenery.
"Thank you, your highness." If according to the status and seniority, the virtuous concubine is the emperor's concubine, and the little princess is the emperor's daughter, the virtuous concubine should have a higher posture than the little princess. However, the virtuous concubine is willing to be careful now, and only with the permission of the little princess can she dare to sit down.
They sat face to face, separated by a small narrow table.
Each has his own mind, no one can say clearly.
Tea making is a time-consuming process. A person who pays attention to every step even takes more than 20 steps. Every step and every action is fastidious. Even if one action is not done well in every step, it may affect the drink of tea in the end.
Gu Qingxin didn't open her mouth, but focused on her actions.
The virtuous imperial concubine did not dare to rush, so she focused on Gu Qingxin's action. Originally, she only looked at it, but at the end, she was attracted by the beautiful action of little princess Gu. She really felt that the tea making was really unique.
He is thinking about whether he can learn to make tea. If he can learn three tenths of the little princess's movements, his majesty will surely look at her with new eyes when he comes to her palace.
"The virtuous lady." Gu Qingxin called softly.
The virtuous imperial concubine just came back from her own thoughts and showed an embarrassed smile. In front of her, she came with a cup of tea in a small white porcelain cup, which was full of beautiful and clear yellow. The color of the tea was crystal clear in the white cup, which was as good-looking as Qiongjiang Yulu.
"Just looking, not trying?" Gu Qingxin's voice came again with a smile.
The virtuous imperial concubine flurried to take over, because she was flustered, she almost slipped the teacup into her hand, but she was secretly annoyed. Today, she lost her temper twice in front of the little princess. She let the little princess hold the teacup for so long. I hope she doesn't mind.
Just thinking about it, the virtuous imperial concubine apologized quickly, "Your Highness, just lost his mind, I hope your highness don't blame me."
Gu Qingxin's gentle and calm jade face gave her a light glance, and then a light smile came out, "lady, you don't have to be so polite. Just now, I lost my mind, but I didn't have a good rest, or is there too much work in the palace, too tired? If you're really tired out of work, it's not good. I can tell my father not to make you so tired! "
Light floating tone is let virtuous imperial concubine listen to a burst of fear!
Her hands trembled. Her right hand and left hand held the teacup together, which didn't make the teacup fall down because of shaking. She didn't care whether the teacup was hot or not. She only had a sentence Gu Qingxin said in her mind.Don't let her be so tired. Do you mean to deprive her of her power? No, no, absolutely not!
Xianfei's face suddenly turned pale as paper.
From the beginning to the end, she was only afraid that the little princess would really put these words into practice. She was only afraid and terrified, but she never doubted that the little princess could have such a great influence on her majesty. It should be said that there is no doubt that her status today is related to many things she has done, and it is thanks to her knowing so much and doing so much The Little Princess.
The virtuous concubine quickly put the cup on the table in fear and uneasiness, and stood up uneasily, trying to hide her confusion. But her tight face and clenched hand still revealed a little, "Your Highness, I'm not tired, really. Don't believe you see, I'm not quite energetic now. The real reason for my absence just now is that your highness is too beautiful, just like a fairy. My shaking hands are just like the sound lines of the palace shaking, and even bring some stutters. "I'm stunned."
Xianfei didn't know why she was so nervous this time. When she was a Lin pin, she was never so nervous or so afraid of losing something. But now, the more she knew and contacted, the more scared she was. Because of understanding, so afraid, when a person ate delicacies, who would like to go back to eat turnip cabbage?
When she sat in the position of a virtuous concubine, she recalled the days when she was a concubine of Lin, as if it was hundreds of years ago. How can she be willing to continue to live such a low-key life with the days of calling the wind and the rain in her hands?
No, she doesn't want to go back. She doesn't want to live such an indifferent life any more!
With such a flustered tone, Gu Qingxin knew her state of mind at the moment, but she still didn't speak, didn't open her mouth, and let her stand as dryly as she did, and let her heart panic.
After a long time, Gu Qingxin took down the purple clay pot again. Along the mouth of the pot, the clear tea slowly flowed into the good white porcelain cup. When it was seven minutes full, he stopped.
Gu Qingxin put the teapot on the low fire and continued to cook. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the taste. The fresh and sweet fragrance instantly entered his mouth. After a little bitterness, it left an endless refreshing aftertaste.
"What's the matter with you? How did you get up? I don't want to sit down and have tea. " Gu Qingxin seems to see the virtuous concubine now. He is surprised and asks the virtuous concubine to sit down.
The virtuous imperial concubine carefully observes Gu Qingxin's expression and sees that she has no sign of anger. This time she sits down slowly, but she is on pins and needles.
"It's a good tea. It tastes bitter, but it's sweet after drinking. The first bitter then sweet tea is actually very good, refreshing and pleasant. Look at the honey that is sweet in the mouth. Although it is very sweet, it turns to be dull and bitter later. Don't you think so? So in contrast, I prefer tea. "
Gu Qingxin saw the virtuous concubine sit down and chatted with herself. She said that she was talking, but in fact she was the dominant one.
"Yes, your highness is right." The virtuous imperial concubine's tone has the feeling of being submissive.
"Your tea is cold. Pour it and put on a cup. It's not a good taste when people go to tea. " Gu Qingxin looked at the hot tea in front of the virtuous imperial concubine. After a glance, he took back his sight and said casually.
Xianfei stretched out her right hand and carelessly poured the cup of tea on the floor outside the carpet.
When she returned to her original position, she heard the little princess say, "don't worry about drinking tea. You can pour it yourself or I can do it for you."
"No, I'll do it myself." Where would Xianfei choose the second one? Naturally, she picked up the teapot, poured tea into her small cup carefully, and stared at the spout quietly until the bright and yellowish tea overflowed from one container to another.
"I'll fill the tea with seven cents." Gu Qingxin's calm voice rang out.
Xianfei's heart trembled, and her right hand trembled slightly. It was a beautiful voice like a oriole. It was a calm and gentle tone. I don't know why, her heart could not be realized.
