Chapter 227: Competition for beauty
The concubines have strict requirements on clothing and cannot exceed their rank, otherwise they will be flouting the palace rules.
After breakfast, people from Si Yisi and Si Baosi had been waiting outside the palace for a long time. In addition to sending her new palace skirts and jewelry, they also had to measure her personally.
Liang Huan was quite surprised. When the queen left last night, she was still trying her best to persuade Gao Qian. Why did she suddenly change her mind and ask someone to make her clothes?
Although she didn't plan to stay long, she still couldn't let anyone see the clues, so she didn't refuse.
The people sent by Si Yisi and Si Baosi were all old men from the palace. They were respectful and experienced in their actions. They were very good people. However, they couldn't help but be surprised. They secretly exchanged glances. Usually the nobles in the palace would catch this person. Opportunities are all based on not exceeding the rules, and you try to put forward your own needs as much as possible, hoping to be luxurious, exquisite and unique.
But this Zuo Zhaoyi, no matter what they said, always looked like he didn't care. He didn't even look like others and would give them some benefits in a timely manner. He kept a straight face from beginning to end. , without much expression, this kind of temperament is really hard for people to guess and see through.
I just secretly thought that perhaps it was because of my newfound favor that I was somewhat ignorant of the ways of the world.
Liang Huan was not thinking about clothes and jewelry at all. For safety reasons, she did not bring too much poison into the palace, and she did not plan to put the prepared poison in the Hanguang Palace.
It was true that she said she would go to the Royal Garden to pick herbs last night. She wanted to find materials that could be used in the existing environment without leaving any traces.
Taking advantage of the fact that the morning court had not yet retreated and the sun was not shining, Liang Huan did not want to waste time, so she cooperated extremely.
After the two groups of people left, she simply tidied up and then took Xianglan and others out.
After walking out for only a few steps, I felt strange. When I looked back, I saw a large group of people from the inner palace following me.
Liang Huan frowned, just going to the Imperial Garden to get familiar with it, but this battle made it look like he was going to plow the ground and plant flowers. It was something that needed to be done with caution, and it made such a big fuss The movement was really too noticeable.
Liang Huan whispered a few words to Xianglan, and Xianglan sent them away, taking only Yuan Zhi with them.
This season is a good time for flowers to bloom. Even before you get close, the fragrance is already overwhelming. You can catch the sweetness in the air with your breath. Just by smelling it, you can guess what kind of flowers and greenery you will see in a while.
Yuan Zhi has a happy temperament. When Liang Huan said that she wanted to pick flowers and make sachets and ointments, she became interested and followed behind with a basket on her arm, talking and talking all the way.
Liang Huan looked her over and saw that this was what she was good at and liked.
Xiang Lan quietly winked several times, but Yuan Zhi didn't notice it at all.
Liang Huan secretly thought it was funny, but this was an accident. She and Xianglan were both people who didn’t talk much. It would be strange to walk in the garden in silence all the time. Now there are so many words. There are many Yuan Zhi, talking and laughing, but it seems like the same thing.
Seeing Yuan Zhi's expression of joy, Liang Huan inexplicably thought of Cao Danqing. When she first met her in the Duke's Mansion, she was so cheerful and bright, with only a little more arrogance that ordinary girls don't have. But later, she gradually changed. ...
Thinking about it, she laughed a little. In the past, when she was outside the palace, she competed with her second sister Cao Luyun for Lu Xiu. Now she ran into the palace and competed with her eldest sister for high potential. She didn't know how to point before. Why her nose is so easy to criticize is hard to explain now.
Xu Shiliang Huan didn't say anything for a long time, and Yuan Zhi stopped talking, with timidity in her eyes.
"Is the slave making noise, disturbing the queen?"
Liang Huan turned and looked over, both of them stared at her nervously, for fear that she would get angry.
She smiled and shook her head: "I thought maybe you could be responsible for making the sachets in the future."
Yuan Zhi's timid eyes instantly lit up, and her voice trembled with excitement: "It's really "
Liang Huan smiled and nodded: "What are you responsible for now?"
Yuan Zhi glanced at Xianglan, smiled awkwardly, and said: "I am responsible for the West. The sweeper in the courtyard of the side hall. "
Liang Huan was slightly surprised. According to the palace rules, there are only a few people who can serve closely. Yuan Zhi should be regarded as a rough messenger and is not worthy of being near.
Strangely, when she chose Yuan Zhi just now, they looked extremely uncomfortable.
Xianglan quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "Please punish me." Xianglan knelt down, and Yuan Zhi also knelt down in a hurry, blushing and explained: "Sister Xianglan is not to blame for this, she should have been on duty today. Su Lan was ill, and I was from the same hometown as Su Lan, so I had the courage to take care of her.”
That’s it.
Liang Huan just asked them to get up, but she was still puzzled: "Since you are sick, why don't you just ask for leave?"
This matter was left to her. If it had been anyone else, she might have handled it according to palace rules.
Xianglan's face changed again and again. Yuan Zhi glanced at her and gritted her teeth and said: "The empress has just entered the palace, and the slaves are not sure of her temperament. They are afraid of touching her brow, so they dare not ..."
Liang Huan lowered his eyes, and it was not surprising that they were so careful. The entry of a new master into the palace was always regarded as a happy event. Not to mention the fear of being sick, it was taboo even for fastidious people. What's more? If the concubine is really angry, she can deal with him.
Liang Huan smiled knowingly: "It doesn't matter, just tell me the truth from now on, and I will help you with diagnosis and treatment."
The palace maid has no right to diagnose and treat illness, she must rely on herself Healing, those who are in good shape or in better condition may be able to find some medicine to mix with.
The two were surprised.
Liang Huan glanced at them and said no more. He couldn't stay long, so he could write down the prescriptions for common diseases and leave them with them.
Once this matter was over, Xianglan and Yuan Zhi talked again, much more relaxed than before.
As we were talking, we also arrived at the garden, and there was the expected Zhengyan Douyan.
After receiving the agreement, Yuan Zhi carried the basket and went to the middle of the flower garden. Xianglan also stepped forward to help, while Liang Huan just strolled on the cobblestone path.
She knew at a glance which ones were useful and which ones were useless.
What worries her now is, even if she finds the materials, where will they be made?
There are eyes everywhere in this palace. Who knows whose people are standing in front of you. The queen seems to have compromised, but she may not be in her heart. As for the queen mother, she will not let her go easily...< br>
Liang Huan walked forward along the path, not wanting to face a few people.
“Yes, it’s the concubine’s fault and it has nothing to do with Zhang Xuanhui. Please ask Zhao Hongde——”
The woman's cry was interrupted, and then there was a slap, crisp and sharp, one after another, which made people's hearts tremble.
Accompanied by loud slaps and vitriolic curses.
"Hongde asked her, when is it your turn to interrupt? A little Rouze can't even carry how many kilograms he weighs. To tell you the truth, even if you carry it for Hongde Even the shoes are not worthy of you! Who do you think you are! Let me ask you, did the Lord see your face clearly when I accepted the favor?”
This is really ugly.
Liang Huan frowned. It was not yet noon, but he was so angry.
Judging from the posture, they must be high-potential real concubines. They are making such a fuss, most likely because they are fighting for favor.
Liang Huan had no intention of meddling in other people's business. When no one was paying attention, he turned around and left.
“Hey, stop!”
