Chapter 048, see old friends again
"Illiterate" Lin Xianyu was embroidering sachets under the Yanxi Palace Gate, flying needles and threading, so skillful that she even felt incredible.
She used to be able to tie her fingers with a button, but now she can embroider an exquisite and gorgeous peony sachet.
This girl, even Huipin, praised her.
Huipin is indeed a good master. She treats palace ladies very kindly. She only practices calligraphy and worships Buddha on weekdays, as if she has a layer of Buddha nature.
But Huipin is obviously not a Buddhist master, otherwise how could he cultivate Wei Xianyu?
Lin Xianyu presented the embroidered peony sachet to Huipin, and it was filled with Huipin's favorite Canaan incense.
Huipin sniffed gently and couldn't help but nodded, "It's this smell. However, the peony stamens embroidered are not as exquisite as the last time."
Lin Xianyu, who is now just a little palace maid, showed panic and uneasy at the right time and quickly apologized: "Please forgive me, slave..."
Huipin smiled gently, "But this color scheme is very good, it is very worthy of my wish."
Lin Xianyu hurriedly lowered his head. This gentle and virtuous Empress Hui, who has always been gentle and virtuous, is very good at being a victorious person.
"By the way, I will go to Renshou Hall to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager later. You can take the best agarwood, and I will present it to the Empress Dowager." Huipin ordered.
Lin Xianyu followed the memory and soon found the agarwood that Huipin mentioned, as big as a fist, and had a very mellow smell. If it was used to mix spices... several incense recipes burst out from her mind.
The original owner really has many skills!
The Empress Dowager Borjigit first lived in Renshou Hall, located on the east side of the East Six Palaces, which was incomparable to the Cining Palace of the Empress Dowager. In addition, the Empress Dowager liked to be quiet and could not speak Chinese, so only a few concubines who were familiar with Mongolian often came to pay their respects.
Huipin is one of them.
After six years, the Empress Dowager has entered middle age, and I don’t know if she is old.
Lin Xianyu came to Renshou Palace, but was not qualified to enter. Huipin only took the eldest prince and two nannies in to kowtow and greet him. A group of young palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside Renshou Palace.
It was still a bit cold in the early morning of autumn. There were parrots in the corridor. There were many flowers growing in the courtyard outside the hall, especially the chrysanthemums bloomed very well, golden and noble, and there were two huge sea water dragon-patterned tanks, with water lilies planted in them and koi.
There is no big difference outside the hall from before. It is the parrot. It is not the queen mother's favorite white-feathered parrot. She probably died of old age and replaced it with a new one. Although it is also flawless white hair, Lin Xianyu, a former frequent visitor to Renshou Palace, could see that it was not the same one.
However, the koi in the big tank was still the same as before, especially the koi, which became much bigger and fatter. It must be because Concubine Shuhui fed too much fish food.
Concubine Shuhui, Tana girl, Lin Xianyu really misses her a little.
Lin Xianyu opened his eyes for a while, and in the hall, the grandparents and grandchildren were happy. The queen mother liked children very much, and the eldest prince's face turned red.
Suddenly, a familiar person stepped into the perception range of her sky eye.
Who else can be the one who entered Renshou Palace without reporting?
Lin Xianyu couldn't help but curled her lips, but suddenly she remembered that she was no longer Dong E, the concubine of Joan of Arc, but Wei Xianyu, the second-class palace maid in Huipin's palace, and she suddenly became depressed.
"Don't feed my fish!" It was a familiar cry of anger, but the voice was not as delicate as I remembered. Yes, Tana is already nearly forty years old.
But then again, is this the Queen Mother’s fish easy to cut?
Moreover, if you speak Mongolian, how many palace maids can understand??
Lin Xianyu looked at the concubine Shuhui who was rushing over angrily. After thinking about it, she chose to take risks. She bowed and said in a familiar Mongolian saying: "I just look at it, and didn't feed it."
Concubine Shuhui was stunned. She was anxious for a moment and blurted out that she spoke Mongolian language. She really didn't expect that this little palace maid would understand, and she looked quite skillful in Mongolian language.
Nowadays, there are few palace maids who can speak Mongolian in the palace. Concubine Shuhui hurriedly asked: "You can speak Mongolian?"
Lin Xianyu nodded.
Concubine Shuhui couldn't help but be happy, "Are you new here? I have never seen you before."
Lin Xianyu hurriedly said, "I am the palace maid of Yanxi Palace, and I came with Concubine Hui and the eldest prince."
Concubine Shuhui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Although Concubine Shuhui had learned Chinese with Concubine Joan of Arc for so many years ago, she still prefers to talk in Mongolian.
Concubine Shuhui looked at Lin Xianyu's incredibly beautiful face now, and couldn't help but mutter: "The one in Huipin's palace is more beautiful than the imperial concubine Dong E of that year..."
Lin Xianyu: Thank you for the praise, but I really can't be happy now.
She had to find a way to change jobs, otherwise Huipin would have to send her to Kang Mazi's bed sooner or later. Oh, sorry, Kangxi is not Mazi anymore. She shouldn't attack other people's face.
"The concubine is too rewarded." Lin Xianyu secretly wondered how to change jobs to the palace of Shuhui Concubine. Well... As the queen mother's legitimate sister, if she spoke to ask for someone, Hui Concubine Hui would never refuse.
But how could she let Concubine Shuhui speak? Should she reveal her identity?
Lin Xianyu was a little troubled. The ancients should be very taboo about "borrowing corpses and resurrection". Although Tana should not burn her with her friendship with Tana, but...
"Hey, what's your name?" Concubine Shuhui still had the same temperament as before, lively and straightforwardness.
Lin Xianyu hurriedly said, "My servant's surname is Wei, and his ancestors are Juechan and his name is Xianyu."
Concubine Shuhui was stunned: "Xianyu?"
Lin Xianyu: I have learned Chinese from her for so many years, but the pronunciation is still not standard...
This time, Lin Xianyu did not correct Shuhui's unstandard pronunciation and nodded with a smile: "That's it."
Let me hint first.
Concubine Shuhui was stunned for a long time, and then muttered to herself: "What am I thinking..." Then she shook her head and walked into the Queen Mother's Renshou Hall.
Lin Xianyu: She couldn't say it too directly in front of everyone, anyway, she left a deep impression on Tana this time.
In Renshou Hall.
Concubine Shuhui greeted her sister, and then looked at Huipin Nala, "Can you give it to me by that palace maid named Xianyu?"
Huipin was shocked.
Concubine Shuhui was really straightforward as always.
Huipin came to her senses after a while, "Taofei, you are talking about Xianyu."
Concubine Shuhui said, "It's the most beautiful one."
Huipin thought to herself, then she didn't run away, but how could Concubine Shuhui fall in love with Xianyu? This is the first time Xianyu has come to Renshou Hall, so she probably doesn't know Concubine Shuhui.
When the empress dowager heard that she was the most beautiful, she guessed the purpose of the palace maid Huipin and shook her head secretly. Huipin could not avoid the vulgarity.
If it was the concubine next to him, Huipin would find an excuse to make excuse him, but this was the concubine Shuhui, and in front of the empress dowager! If she did not give the concubine Shuhui face, she would not give the queen mother face!
Huipin smiled awkwardly, "How could the concubine fall in love with that palace maid? Although that girl looks like a badge, she is really stupid."
"Damn it?" Shuhui raised her eyebrows. The palace maid with a similar name to Sister Xianyu didn't look like a stupid person. Moreover, the palace maid's eyes gave her the feeling that it didn't look like a palace maid. It looked like...
"What? Is it inconvenient?" Concubine Shuhui looked at Concubine Hui, "Can you keep that palace maid to offer to the emperor?"
The directness of Shuhui Concubine Hui made Hui's old face slightly swell. Although this kind of thing is very common in the palace, if you pick it up, it will really hurt people's face.
