77. Mind
On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month and the eighth day of the lunar month, the emperor was busy and did not call him a bun at night, so he just drank a bowl of milk.
Li Yu and the Imperial Kitchen were all relieved, and Wanxi was even more relieved.
She happened to be busy these two days. She was busy breaking the stems of the shreds brought back by Jiu Ye. She took out the white inner stems of the shreds while they were wet, cut them into small pieces, and dried them naturally. With Nianchun and others, they cut the dried inner stem into slices, then wrapped them with a wet cloth, and twisted them into petals with appropriate humidity.
After two days of rushing, on the morning of Double Ninth Festival, when Xianchun and a few first-class women discovered it, Wanxi had already made a small box of Tongcao flowers.
Xianchun and others couldn't help but be surprised and went up to pick up the flowers and looked carefully: "Although the flowers are not unusual, there are worships in Yangzhou every year, and there are craftsmen in the Interior Department's Construction Office, but what the girls make is different from them!"
Even Su Chun couldn't help but praise: "Miss Wan is really smart."
Wanxi blushed with praise, "I was born in the flower field and joined these flowers and plants every day, so my hand was just a few flowers. The rest... were so amazing."
Xianchun smiled: "I will present the flowers on my head to the master to see!"
Seeing this box of flowers that were very different from those made by craftsmen in Jiangnan, the queen couldn't help but be surprised.
She tilted her head and looked carefully at Xianchun's expression: "You mean... this is Wanxi specially made it for me?"
Xianchun couldn't help laughing: "It's right for my master's words! Miss Wan has been busy with her flowers for a long time. From the initial planning to drawing flowers by hand, she asked Master Jiu to find fresh grass, and from the seventh day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day of the 19th day
Because of the request of the Ninth Master and also admiring Wanxi, Xianchun praised her in front of the queen: "I don't care about it, but I see it really well. Miss Wan is really sincere to her master, and it's not in vain that she cares for her like this."
The queen lowered her eyes and looked at the flowers on her head. Every petal was carefully made by hand. An inexplicable feeling surged in the queen's heart, and she couldn't help but sigh softly again.
After all, she didn't expect this girl to think about her so sincerely.
"Call Wanxi." The queen finally ordered Xianchun.
Wanxi followed Xianchun to the queen's bedroom, and she was happy and nervous.
Although she has been in the Queen's harem for some time, she is a woman who has never had the chance to come to the queen. The Queen has never called her, and she can only pass oral instructions through Xianchun and others if she has something to say.
When Wanxi saw the queen, she gave another big gift. The queen sighed softly: "Cao, it's enough to just pay your respects."
The queen waved Wanxi to the side of the kang, and looked at her carefully for the first time: "You have been sick all these days, so I didn't bother you. I heard that you are well, so I have to take a good look at you like this. Wanxi, you have done a great job of all the flowers, I like it, you are determined."
The queen is more than ten years older than Wanxi. She said so earnestly that Wanxi thought of her mother.
Wanxi took a deep breath, hid the bitterness in her eyes, and hurriedly said: "From the selection of the entrance to the palace, until she was picked into the Changchun Palace, every step was taken care of by the master and the empress behind her. The slave asked himself what virtue and how could he be, and was fortunate to be able to treat the master and the empress like this... I don't know how to repay him, but I just do my best."
The queen married into the palace at the age of sixteen. She has been used to the intrigue between women for more than ten years. However, she didn't expect that the girl she was careful to be careful of was as clear as this. She didn't feel her eyes were slightly wet, and apologies surged in her heart.
