Chapter 361 His Highness Ninth Prince said she was a charlatan
The Imperial Garden was so big that you couldn’t even see the edge. But at this time, in addition to the gardeners pruning flowers and plants not far away, there were also palace officials cleaning up fallen leaves. In addition, there are Hong Xiaoduo, Kaiyang, and several followers in the Queen's Palace.
“Do you know why the peacock opens its tail? And it is more common in March and April?” Hong Xiaoduo asked Kaiyang.
Kaiyang thought for a while and shook his head to express his ignorance.
“Because March and April are the breeding seasons for peacocks, the male peacock will spread his tail in order to attract the attention of the female peacock. Another reason is that when it encounters an enemy and has no time to avoid it, it will also Suddenly it opens its tail, shakes it and makes a rustling sound, and the eye-like spots on its feathers shake, making its enemies afraid to come forward.
Now if you want to enjoy it opening its screen, you have to use a friendly method and don't scare it.
Mom, could you please help me find some colorful materials? It can be made of silk, satin or yarn. "Hong Xiaoduo briefly told what he knew and said to the queen.
The queen immediately ordered people to find it. Colorful materials are easy to find.
While waiting, we admired some blooming chrysanthemums nearby. What the Queen was interested in was the name of the chrysanthemum species. These plants were all purchased in the years after she entered the cold palace. This is also the first time since she came out of the cold palace. Visiting the Imperial Garden.
Eunuch Kang called the gardener to introduce the varieties of chrysanthemums to the queen and where they came from.
Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang were concerned about whether these kinds of chrysanthemums were edible, especially when Hong Xiaoduo pointed to the one with the largest bloom and said to the queen: "Dry the chrysanthemums and fill them into pillows. They can dispel wind and clear away heat." The name is used to soothe the nerves and regulate sleep.
However, it is not effective in regulating sleep. People who are allergic to this flower or have bad cervical spine should not sleep on it.”
The gardener on the side twitched when he heard it. The varieties that can enter the imperial garden are not ordinary, and this little lady wants to eat them. Forget it, now you actually want to trick your lady into filling her pillow?
Who is this? It’s okay if you don’t know how to appreciate it. Why do you think about causing harm and ruining it?
While talking, the palace servant brought colorful silk and satin.
"Which sister is a good dancer? Why don't you stand here and dance for a while wearing these?" Hong Xiaoduo asked the maids with a smile.
The palace ladies looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t move.
Everyone can dance, it’s just a matter of whether they dance well or not. However, they are the Queen’s wife, and the Queen has not spoken, so how can they listen to an outsider’s instructions?
You really don’t understand the rules. Even if you are a distinguished guest of the empress, you shouldn’t be like this!
Just now, the child she brought injured His Highness Ninth Prince!
Which sister? There’s no point in calling me sister!
The reactions of the palace maids all fell into the eyes of the queen. The people in her palace only listened to her orders. Logically speaking, she should be satisfied and relieved.
But, she didn't feel this way.
The way they looked at Xiaoduo made the queen feel that their failure to respond to Xiaoduo's words just now was not due to the so-called loyalty to her, but because of Xiaoduo's dress, words and deeds, and her identity. , that's why it's like this. To put it bluntly, it's just a dog's eyes that look down on others.
If this was the group of people in his palace, they would definitely not be like this.
Even though she knew Xiaoduo was kind to her as the queen, she still didn't respect him. Doesn't this also mean disrespecting her as the queen?
Thinking of the people in Fengyi Palace who were all killed by Concubine Yun after she was framed in the cold palace eight years ago, the queen suddenly felt heavy.
"Little lady, do you want to be a slave?" At this time, a palace maid standing at the end said timidly.
In fact, Hong Xiaoduo also knew what was going on with the reactions of the maids and the expression on the queen's face just now.
Seeing that someone responded, Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister."
Sure enough, the queen's expression softened a little when she looked at the maid who stepped forward.
The palace ladies looked at the companion who stood out, and their eyes were not very good, with ridicule and disdain.
Has this fool forgotten who he is? The empress is standing here without speaking. What's the point of winning this little lady's favor?
Yes, this young lady is kind to the empress, so she was invited to the banquet.
But, what does this mean?
If you are kind to the queen, the queen must treat you to a banquet, otherwise how can you show that the queen is grateful and repays your kindness!
Also, haven't you heard that His Majesty wanted to keep this woman as a female official in Beijing, but she didn't agree. What's the use of currying favor with such a ungrateful woman?
When serving in the palace, you just need to remember one thing and be loyal to your master. Humph, you are a conspicuous person with a heartless attitude. If you don’t cherish a good first-class palace maid, you will be thrown out of Fengyi Palace by your empress to be a low-class palace maid and do the heavy work!
Hong Xiaoduo pointed to the palace maid who stood up, draped a few pieces of gorgeous silk and satin on her body, and tied them slightly to prevent them from slipping while dancing.
The palace maid held the corners of the silk satin with her hands and danced towards the peacock.
Now, those who believe that by doing this, the peacock will be able to open its tail, and those who don’t believe it, and those who are hesitant, can’t think of anything else for the time being, and stare intently at the two peacocks in the big cage not far ahead. A peacock.
The two peacocks, who were strolling leisurely, stopped and watched when the palace maid began to dance.
"His Royal Highness Ninth said that this woman is a charlatan. He is right. Just dance in front of a peacock and it will open its tail? Are you kidding!"
"Just wait. If she still doesn’t respond, see if she blushes and how she explains it, don’t say it’s because the dancer is not beautiful enough.”
There were maids whispering to each other and playing crickets softly.
“Oh my God.” The palace maid who complained softly after hearing the exclamations from all around turned her head and looked forward, her eyes widened, and the peacock actually opened its tail.
The peacock's tail feathers are flying like ribbons, like a huge colorful fan, reflecting brilliant brilliance in the sun, and like colorful neon lights, dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.
Except for the initial exclamations, everyone seemed to be holding their breath now, fearing that the sound would disturb the peacock, so it put away its beautiful tail.
Not everyone can enter the Imperial Garden. Even the favored concubines cannot come just when they want. If you are lucky, you can follow His Majesty or accompany the Queen Mother for a stroll.
The probability of palace maids being able to enter the imperial garden is even lower, especially these few. The masters they followed before have not even been lucky enough to enter the palace.
Therefore, this was the first time for them to see the peacock open its tail, such an amazing scene.
The dancing palace maids kept dancing, and the male peacock kept his screen open. He was not just showing off to the female peacock, but was walking back and forth towards the people on Hong Xiaoduo's side, as if to say: "Humans, look carefully, who is the most beautiful!"
It was about a quarter of an hour later. Although no one was satisfied, Hong Xiaoduo felt sorry for the dancing palace maid and asked her to stop.
Sure enough, after a while, the peacock also put away its tail.
"Hey, why did it stop when the slave stopped?" the dancing maid asked excitedly.
"Just now, that guy thought you were seducing his wife. Now that you have stopped jumping, he feels that the crisis has been resolved, so he naturally stopped." Hong Xiaoduo said, half joking and half serious.
Her words made everyone present laugh, and they looked at her with more admiration and curiosity.
"Mother, Eunuch Fu is here. He should be looking for Miss Hong and the others." Eunuch Kang walked to the queen's side and reminded the queen in a low voice.
Eunuch Fu really came to look for Hong Xiaoduo because foreign envoys entered the palace.
Seeing Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang walking away, the queen turned around and looked at the maids and nuns beside her. Her eyes fell on the maid who had just danced: "What is your name?"
Oh my God. , the empress was about to get angry on the spot?
The other maids gloated at the companion who was still wearing colorful silk and looked a little funny...
