And the spring palace, the autumn wind is bleak, although it has just entered autumn, there are all signs of desolation.
"Your Majesty." The court lady stood aside holding a cup of hot water cautiously. Du Xinyue didn't speak, and she didn't dare to put it down.
The overcast Du Xinyue slammed the table, "She is going to be a queen, and the thing in her stomach is the prince!"
With this sudden slap, the trembling maid was startled, the hot teacup in her hand fell down, the hot water splashed on her hands and shoes, the scalding maid had tears in her eyes, she bit her lip, not daring to speak.
"No, I have to think of a way." Du Xinyue, who was caught in anger, didn't notice the maid at all, and said to herself, "What can I do?" She suddenly turned her head to look at the maid.
"SlavesSlaves don't know either." The palace maid tremblingly pinned her red and swollen hands behind her, and took a slight step forward, hiding the fallen teacup under her skirt.
Du Xinyue frowned displeasedly, and cursed angrily, "Trash! What is the use of my palace raising you?!"
The palace lady knelt down with a plop, "My lord, forgive me, my lord, forgive me!" She put the teacup into her sleeve as she begged for mercy, and the hot cup burned her skin, causing the lady in pain unbearably.
"Go down! Useless things!" Du Xinyue rolled her eyes in disgust and waved her hands, out of sight and out of mind.
"Yes, yes." The court lady hurriedly left as if she was about to receive an amnesty.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they bumped into Chang Xinru, who came from Xingui, and hurriedly saluted, "Your maidservant pays homage to Xingui." Although there was an order from above not to approach Concubine Rong, the three in the harem were all poor people, so they We often get together.
Chang Xinru didn't even look at the maid, so she walked in and called Du Xinyue delicately, "Sister, sister is here to see you!"
The court lady who saluted also saved herself trouble and left in a hurry to solve her own problems.
Sitting in the inner room, Du Xinyue came out upon hearing the sound, and a few hypocritical smiles appeared on her hideous face due to anger. The people in the harem are all women who share a man. No one is pleasing to the eyes of anyone below.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"Of course I miss my sister!" Chang Xinru took Du Xinyue's hand to sit aside with a sisterly look, and then told the maid behind her: "Quick! Present the gift from the palace to the empress." .¡±
The court lady responded, dragged the brocade box forward, put it on the table, and slowly opened it. Inside was a gold bracelet inlaid with pigeon blood that looked like a stone.
Du Xinyue's eyes were amazing, "It's really beautiful." She praised sincerely: "How can there be such a beautiful agate?"
Chang Xinru raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Sister, you have a good eye, but this is not agate."
"Isn't it agate?" Du Xinyue frowned, picked it up and examined it carefully, but couldn't figure out what was going on.
"It's musk." Chang Xinru succinctly threw out two words that shocked Du Xinyue, "It's much prettier than agate."
"Musk?!" Du Xinyue threw the bracelet back into the brocade box violently, as if she had touched some scourge, her face suddenly changed, "Sister, how can you take this kind of thing?!"
Chang Xinru smiled innocently, "Sister, this musk is only harmful to those who are pregnant, it is easy to cause miscarriage, and it can only increase the beauty of those who are not pregnant. My sister looks good, so I specially sent it to my sister. one."
"Really?" Du Xinyue looked at Chang Xinru dubiously. It's not like she didn't know about the salty things in the mansion. She had never heard of what this musk can do to people who are not pregnant. "My sister is not proficient in pharmacology. You can't fool my sister."
This Chang Xinru is just the legitimate daughter of a small fourth-rank official, and she was able to enter the palace only to watch her father revise the history books, and she is generous and honest. Logically speaking, she shouldn't dare to offend herself.
"How could it be?!" Chang Xinru scolded, revealing the bracelet on her wrist, "This is a pair, my sister specially brought it to honor my sister. Look, my sister also wears it on her hand, but it's not as good-looking as my sister's."
Du Xinyue rolled her eyes lightly, and it looked like the pigeon blood on her head, so she pretended to accept it easily, "Then my sister will thank my sister."
"Is there anything you can't thank the sisters for? My sister is very happy to accept it." Chang Xinru managed to maintain a fake smile, which made people believe it was true.
Du Xinyue smiled, and then asked: "But is this musk really so powerful? Can it make people slip?"
"Why not, sister, just a little" Du Xinyue pinched two fingers together, revealing a small gap, "It can make people slippery, and musk is usually not tasted when it is added to food."
Du Xinyue nodded vaguely, "It seems quite powerful."
"That's right." Chang Xinru changed the subject when she said that it was just right, "In a few days, the emperor will hold a palace banquet to celebrate the victory, what color is my sister going to wear?"
Chang Xinru made a sudden change, and Du Xinyue said a little slowly: "What clothes to wear? Haven't decided yet? What is my sister going to wear, so I can set an example for my sister."
Chang Xinru smiled modestly: "My sister came here to ask my sister specially. My sister has never participated in such a grand occasion, such as a palace banquet, so I don't know what to do, so I want to ask my sister to express my opinion."
"Any opinion?" Du Xinyue raised her brows and cast her eyes at Chang Xinru's charming face, feeling uneasy in her heart, "My younger sister looks good in everything, unlike my older sister who has an ordinary face. Wear light-colored, plain clothes."
Chang Xinru immediately comforted and said: "Sister really knows Huqin, if my sister is so ordinary, then what kind of good-looking one is?"
"The one from Changle Palace!" Du Xinyue said casually, and she was a little cold at the moment. Who didn't know that although Concubine Rong was not born well, she was protected by many people, and the palace had walls and ears, so there were some things she couldn't say.
"Hehe" Du Xinyue laughed dryly, and changed the subject in a haha, "Sister, have you decided what jewelry to bring?"
"No." Chang Xinru said obediently, "I always wanted to be well-behaved, but I didn't pick out any decent jewelry for a while."
"Don't worry, there are still a few days left, pick slowly." Du Xinyue stood up and went to the dressing table as she said, and took out a pair of pearl earrings from the box, which were as big as glass beads and glowed with soft light. Knowing that it is worth a lot, "This is a pair of pearl earrings from my collection, pearls from the East China Sea. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I will give it to my sister. It should be a gift in return."
"How good is this?" Although Chang Xinru said that verbally, she could tell that the pair of huge pearls were worth a lot. I don't know how many times more expensive than my own gold bracelet, "These earrings are very valuable, my sister dare not have them."
"Is there anything you don't dare to ask for? My sister gave it to my sister, so I should take it. Why are you being polite?" Du Xinyue folded to the side table, took a brocade box from above, and put the pearl earrings in the Inside, he just handed it to Chang Xinru.
Chang Xinru couldn't shirk it, so she had no choice but to accept it desperately, "Thank you, sister."
"It's okay, it's okay." Du Xinyue waved her hand casually, and tapped her fingers lightly on the gold bracelet, "My sister's bracelet, I like it very much, logically speaking, it's my sister who should thank you." I should really thank you .(Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
