Chapter 519

Next to the Peach Blossom River, the eldest princess in the rattan green drag Luo long skirt looks around to make sure that there is no one around. She takes off her shoes and socks happily, raises her skirt and can't wait to step into the cool water.

HuJiao was gently wrapped in the stream, and most of the body's dry heat disappeared.

He sat down at random on a big protruding stone on the bank, his feet fluttered restlessly in the water, and the splashing water wet the skirt.

How long has it been like this.

Mu Jing remembers that when he was a child, the summer heat in the palace was unbearable. I was very afraid of heat, so my mother often took her to Huanyun River in the imperial garden to play for the summer.

It's a wonderful lotus blossom. The breeze came slowly, mixed with a faint fragrance, into the young Mujing arms. To this day, she still remembers the fragrance of summer lotus and the smiling dimple of her mother.

At that time, Mu Jing, who was still a little baby, often took off her shoes and socks in spite of her mother's hindrance, and fluttered happily on the water with her feet. Her sweet laughter floated far away by the wind.

At that time, Mujing was the apple of his father's eye and the eldest princess respected by everyone. From the imperial concubines and ministers to the eunuchs, they all adored the wise, clever and lovely princess.

Because of this, Mujing's childhood is not different from other peers. Although he was born in the imperial family, he still has warm and considerate family relationship.

However, the carefree time is always short. With her growing up day by day, the mother's body is not better than day by day.

Princess Zhen was very weak and sickly. She was even worse since she gave birth to Mujing. The dampness and coldness in her body intruded into the five viscera and six internal organs. The imperial doctor could only prescribe some prescriptions for recuperation, which could not fundamentally improve her.

A few months after Mu Jing's 10th birthday, her mother, who was tortured by pain, finally died in the afternoon.

On her deathbed, the haggard Princess tightly held Mujing's hand, and her eyes were filled with heartache.

Raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. As a young woman, she held her mother's thin hands tightly and nodded to her gently.

She knows what the mother is worried about.

In the future, jing'er will go on well. Jing'er also wants to be a gentle and virtuous woman just like her mother.

Often think of these past events, Mu Jing's heart seems to be mercilessly rubbed. She had watched the stars all over the sky for countless nights, praying that the mother could have a happy life in the sky and could protect herself.

My mind drifted farther and farther away. The breeze brushed my cheek. I don't know how long I sat there. Mujing just came back to my mind.

The clear water surface of Taohuaxi was slightly wrinkled by the breeze, and scattered petals on the sparkling water. She took a deep breath of the sweet air, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.

Peach blossom, eh!

Min Sheng has been busy these days and has received secret letters from outside the pass for several days. He was alone in the room, writing hard day after day, frowning.

It takes a lot of money to train the military forces in the border areas. Although Si Chenchen had the cheek to borrow 500000 gold from Wen Qihua last time and handed it to his brother, it was still far from enough.

In peach blossom Valley, there is no good way to relieve the urgent need. For a while, the situation fell into an awkward situation.

Despite this, Min Sheng did not want to put the burden on the shoulders of Si Chen Chen. She's a weak woman. She shouldn't have to bear this.

Moreover, Min Sheng does not want Si Chen Chen to bow to Wen Qihua again for his brother's sake.

The more he thought about it, the more headache he felt. He raised his hand and pinched the position of his brow, which slightly relieved his anxiety. The cup of Longjing on hand was already cold before the rain.

Just ready to raise his hand for a cup of hot tea, but the door sounded Mu Jing soft voice of exploration, "Min childe?"

Min Sheng is surprised. How can he forget that there is this one in the valley. Oh. The headache is even worse.

Mu Jing see the house did not respond, did not give up, and whispered, "Jing son made some snacks, would like to invite you to taste."

Min Sheng suddenly head big, but can not think of any reason to refuse. Had to get up to go to the door, creak open the wooden door, in front of you is carrying a plate of exquisite cakes of the princess.

Let her into the room, the eldest princess gently put this small dish of peach blossom soup on the table, "please do as you please." Just one sentence, no more. He looked up at Min Sheng as if expecting praise.

"The eldest princess has a heart." Although Min Sheng doesn't like pastry, he doesn't want to let Mu Jing down. Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth.

The sweet and smooth taste melts in the mouth, and the peach blossom fragrance overflows from the mouth. It has a cold and refreshing taste when it is just imported. It seems that it is mixed with some mint.

It's so delicious. The taste is sweet but not greasy, which is very suitable for Min Sheng. He raised his eyebrows and nodded.

Can't help but praise the way sincerely, "the eldest princess's craft is really good. This cake is not only good in taste but also exquisite in shape. It must have taken a lot of effort. " Before the voice dropped, he picked up another piece and put it into his mouth.

Mu Jing sees min childe's sincere praise of himself. His cheek is crimson, but he can't hide his smile. He looks a little shy and says with a smile, "it's good if you like it."Min Sheng only knew that the peach blossom soup was made from peach blossom in the valley, but he did not know the specific method. He asked, "is this the way to make dim sum in the palace? Min wants to ask the princess for advice. I hope the princess will give me some advice. "

Mu Jing said with pride, "you guessed wrong, this is not the method of making snacks in the palace. The prototype of the peach blossom soup was created by Empress jing'er. "

"Oh?" Min Sheng was surprised and puzzled.

After the eldest princess mentioned her mother, her expression was somewhat dim, and her bright eyes seemed to be lower. "When I was a child, my favorite food was the peach blossom soup made by my mother. I only thought it was 100 times more delicious than any expensive food."

After a pause, she whispered, "but I haven't had peach blossom soup since my mother died. There is something missing in the imperial dining room. "

With that, Mu Jing also reached out and picked up a piece of peach blossom soup, bit a small bite, and slowly chewed no more words.

Out of the window cicada out of time called out. The hottest part of the summer is coming.

However, there is no sign of withering in the hundred Li peach forest in peach blossom valley. The occasional breeze blows, and the petals are dancing with the wind. The whole valley seems to have fallen with pink rain.

The eldest princess follows people to learn how to make peach blossom wine every day. In her spare time, she wanders alone in the valley. There are always surprises. She was fascinated by everything in the valley.

Sometimes, Mujing hopes that time will be fixed. If he breaks away from the suffocating rules and regulations in the palace, he can live his whole life.

Unconsciously, Mujing has been in peach blossom Valley for nearly half a month. The closer she was to Emperor Wu's birthday, the more she hoped that the time would pass slowly, more slowly.

And she privately felt that Min Sheng did not seem to be so exclusive of himself. This is undoubtedly the happiest thing for her.

Mu Jingrou, like a boneless waist, gently leans under the peach blossom tree, and her hands are playing with the delicate petals in full bloom. She thinks in her heart that if she can live like this all the time, it seems to be a good thing.

...

in July, the Imperial Palace was surrounded by hot summer. The cicada in the imperial garden was also lifeless and hoarse. I'm complaining about the hot weather.

Each palace has already gone to the house of the interior to get back the ice for the summer heat, and put it in the bedroom of the concubines to cool down.

The only part of Jinxiu palace, qingluan sent rouge to the house of internal affairs to collect the monthly food and clothing expenses. It didn't take much effort to see her back with a sad face.

Qingluan looked at her empty handed, confused to, "let you go to get the moon and ice?"

Rouge slapped at the table, a face unwilling. "It's too late for our elder sister's office to store the things that are too late this summer."

She picked up the tea cup on the table, gulped a few gulps, and then suppressed the boredom of being exposed to the sun just now. Then she said angrily,

"that's all, but they didn't even deduct our monthly allowance. This is not to see our mother lose power to worship high step down! It's a bunch of villains who are at the helm of the wind. "

Qingluan sighs. Who in the harem doesn't pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages? Now huifei is under house arrest. I don't know when she can be released. Don't say the house of internal affairs. Even the little maids in the palace of virtuous concubines dare to look at themselves with a straight nose.

There is not a trace of vitality in this huge palace. What's the difference between the two.

She slowly arranged the silk thread in her hand and gently soothed the still angry rouge.

"Now, we are no more cautious than before when you speak and act outside. We must not let others criticize you. If you let your mother listen to what you said just now, it will be a big disturbance again. "

Rouge nodded his head, since he entered the palace, thanks to elder sister qingluan's care everywhere. What she said should be recorded in my heart naturally.

After helping qingluan cut the silk thread for a long time, rouge felt more and more sultry. It was overcast, and there was no wind. I was afraid it would rain. She put down the silk thread in her hands, as if thinking of something, and asked qingluan curiously on the table.

"Sister, how long have you been an official in the palace?"

Qingluan didn't stop working and said casually, "it's been seven or eight years."

"That sister must see the emperor often." Rouge's curiosity is growing. I have only seen Longyan for two or three times since I entered the palace. For her, the emperor has always been an elusive existence.

Qingluan casually returned to her, "well, the emperor used to come to the brocade palace. I can see it naturally when I follow my mother. "

Oh, thirty years east and thirty years West. Since the emperor's wife entered the palace, the emperor rarely set foot in the palace. Not only Jinxiu palace, but other palaces are rarely visited.

Thousands of favors were given to the flower palace.

In the palace, I always want to stay in the imperial palace.

Qingluan laboriously moved his body for a long time, which made his neck ache. Rouge took the initiative to move forward and gently rubbed qingluan's shoulder. I'm still talking."Sister, I heard from the nun of the washing clothes bureau that on the emperor's birthday this year, the maids with the best dancing skills in each palace will be selected to dance for the emperor at the Palace Banquet! What's more, the best dance is the lead dance, which will surely shine at the Palace Banquet

"I've heard about it. There's never been such a program before." Qingluan also yearned for it. Her eyes were bright. I didn't know who was lucky enough to be the leader of the dance at the Palace Banquet. It would certainly leave a deep impression on the emperor.

Rouge danced excitedly and said without hesitation, "in my opinion, we talk about appearance and dance art in the splendid palace. On that day, it was the elder sister who was on the Palace Banquet."

Qingluan was blushed by Rouge's praise, but she didn't admit, "you are a girl who always teases me. Be careful, I'll beat you with bamboo. You're not kidding. "

Rouge was unconvinced with a mouth and a neck up to explain, "what I said is really true! In my opinion, my sister must be the right person to lead the dance this year. "

Qingluan was also agitated. Why didn't she want to make her mark? Although she had been in the palace for a long time, it was also because her parents were too poor to support several children, so she had to send qingluan, who was only 11 or 12 years old, into the palace as a maid.

Even if she had been in the palace wall for eight years, she was only twenty. It's the age of youth. Moreover, in a group of palace maids, qingluan's beauty is far above the others.

If the skin coagulates fat, it can be broken by blowing. Because of her delicate skin, she can squeeze water out of the water. Because of her dancing experience since childhood, qingluan has a delicate figure and can attract people's attention by her actions and actions.

But qingluan clearly knows that beauty is the least valuable thing in this beautiful palace. If you want to have a foothold in the deep palace, the mind is essential.

She worked hard to serve Princess Hui for so many years, has been gritting teeth to endure. In order to one day be able to use her strength to stand out, no longer be bullied.

At this time, huifei and qingluan have the same idea. Although they did not know each other's intentions, they had the same goal because of their own interests.

That night, after Liu huifei finished her dinner, she told others to step back and leave qingluan alone to wait in the room.

Qingluan, as usual, carefully attends huifei to bathe and change clothes. After putting the bed in order, she wants to withdraw. But was called to bed by Liu huifei.

"Qingluan, you've been serving this palace for so long, and you've been doing your best. I've seen it in my eyes."

Qingluan couldn't figure out huifei's thoughts for a moment, but stood obediently aside, lowered her eyelids and said, "I'm flattered. This is what I should do. I dare not ask for credit. "

Princess Hui raised her mouth and laughed. She said, "in a few days, it will be the emperor's birthday. My palace's actions are restricted and I can't celebrate the emperor's birthday. You can go instead of this palace."

Qing Luan is surprised, raise an eye to look at Hui Fei, the vision is puzzled, "does Niang mean?"

"Have you ever heard that there will be top-notch maids from all the palaces to offer dances to boost the party?"

Qingluan's eyes are bright, and her heart is clear. Huifei has thought of a place with her. However, she will not be so kind. She should not know her right.

"I've heard a little bit about it. What does the lady mean is that she wants me to dance for the emperor?"

The tone with uneasiness and timidity, just right to show her doubts.
