Chapter 50: The Tree Wrap
Tian Guiren couldn't bear to show her clues, and when Aunt Neisi left, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Swift's hand. "Why did you get here. ”
"The slave maid is here to top the errand, and when Sister Hongya is well, the slave and maid will go back to the inner division again. Swift said.
"What are you leaving? Just stay. Tian Guiren said affectionately, "When I knew you, you were on an errand in the inner division, I thought you couldn't serve people, I knew that I would have brought you here." ”
"Good sister, don't worry, if you come to me, I won't be able to treat you badly. ”
Yuyan bowed her head slightly and said, "The queen mother didn't like the concubine at the beginning, and dismissed all the palace maids in the concubine's palace, and the slave maid was originally disheartened and didn't want to serve people anymore, just thinking about being an errand in other places, if she could make a lot of effort for the concubine, she would be released from the palace at the age of twenty-five." ”
"When the slave maid and the noble first met, they felt cordial, so this time I heard my aunt say that the noble man has a palace maid to fill the vacancy, so he came cheekily. Swift said.
"Don't say that. Tian Guiren said, "I also felt kind when I saw you, otherwise I wouldn't have said anything to you, let alone know that you grew up in the palace of the concubine, and the things you said helped me a lot, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become a nobleman." ”
Tian Guiren frowned slightly, "It's a pity that there are too many beauties in this palace, and there is nothing surprising about me as a small nobleman, Your Majesty has long forgotten me, now that I think about it, it is better that you and I are both small palace maids in this palace, although they are bitter but also comfortable." ”
"Don't say that, noble. Swift said, "The first emperor likes to mess with flowers and grass, and there are many people in the harem who are promoted as palace maids, but our majesty is not a person like the first emperor, the palace maid is promoted, and the noble person is the first person, if your majesty doesn't like you, how can he make you a nobleman." ”
"But Your Majesty never remembered me again. Tian Guiren said, "I went to find you, to be honest, without you giving me ideas, I was really at a loss." ”
"Where do the slaves and maids have any ideas, but they just listen too much. Yuyan said, "The noble man only got His Majesty's own eyes when he buried flowers in Shanglin Garden, why don't you continue to go now?"
"The slave maid once heard that the women of this harem, as long as they are liked by His Majesty, even if they pretend to be for a lifetime. ”
"You have a point. Tian Guiren said, it's just that it's winter now, and there are few flowers, so she went around the forest garden twice, and finally decided to take the fabric that His Majesty rewarded her with, wrap these trees close to the palace, and do it herself, on a cold day, her face and hands are frozen red.
Qi Zongwen was about to go to Concubine Ying's Luoying Palace, and when he passed by this area, he called her over when he saw that she was busy working. "What are you doing here?"
"Concubine to Your Majesty. Tian Guiren Fushen said, she was a little embarrassed, "The concubine was wearing a warm dress and roasting the brazier indoors, thinking that the tree was bare outside, suffering from the cold wind and cold, she couldn't sit still, and thinking that there was still some cloth given by His Majesty to the concubine, so she took it and put a dress on the tree, so that she could resist some wind and cold." ”
Qi Zongwen was stunned for a moment, and when he saw her neck, her cold white skin was frozen and a little transparent, and her heart moved, and she reached out to pull her into the chariot, "It doesn't matter where you are in the tree, look at your freezing." ”
Tian Guiren was surrounded by His Majesty's cloak, shy and timid, and glutinous and only said to His Majesty.
The eunuch took a look, what else did he go to Luoying Palace like this? Let's go to the residence of Tian Guiren.
Concubine Ying was intercepted, and when she asked the queen to say goodbye the next day, she learned from others, and she endured it with a dry laugh, she is now no more bold and cautious than when she first entered the palace.
When Tian Guiren came in to ask for peace, everyone saw that Concubine Ying didn't pick her head first as they thought, Concubine Li couldn't hold back the most, and started with a sneer, "When Your Majesty went to Shanglin Yuan to take a turn, there was one more noble person in the palace when I turned around, I have always been curious, Tian Guiren waved a hoe in Shanglin Yuan and made His Majesty fall in love at first sight?"
"Now I see that I am in love. ”
"After all, if Tian Guiren dresses the tree, he can lead His Majesty, who was originally going to Luoying Palace, to his courtyard, and he is a person with great wisdom. ”
Tian Guiren looked at Concubine Ying kneeling down in a panic, "The concubine really doesn't know that His Majesty is going to Luoying Palace, and the concubine doesn't have a heart." ”
"In front of the queen mother, this palace didn't let you kneel, why are you kneeling at this palace?" Concubine Ying said angrily, "I want to frame this palace to deliberately bully you?"
"Sister Yingfei, don't be angry. Concubine Xiao said, "Tian Guiren was still a slave before, and he knelt when he met people, so he became a nobleman, and his soft knees have not been changed." ”
"Get up. The queen said, "Tian Guiren is liked by His Majesty, you can learn more from her, and it is useless to squeeze her." ”
"It's all like Your Majesty, and the concubines would rather learn from the concubines. Concubine Li said, "Don't do this." ”
"The concubine didn't come to greet her today, it's not too late for you to talk about these compliments when she comes. The queen said.
Tian Guiren lowered his head, still teasing and ridiculing them.
The concubines said that they were pretentious, but they all let people take the cloth that was not needed in the treasury to go out and wrap the trees, and for a while, the trees in the palace were wrapped in flowers and branches, and looking at the past from a distance, it was not as cold as the trees in winter.
The only surprise was Qin Yunyi's Ronghua Palace.
Qi Zongwen didn't feel anything wrong at first, but he went to Ronghua Palace for lunch one day, and saw that the low potted plants in Ronghua Palace were all bare, so he said to Qin Yunyi, "Why don't you wrap the tree with a cloth, is the cloth not enough, I asked Han Xing to send it to you." ”
"There is nothing else in Ronghua Palace, but there are piles of fabrics. Qin Yunyi said, "Emperor Yang decorated the tree with silk and satin, and later generations mentioned who did not say a word about the extravagant death of the dynasty, His Majesty seemed to have completely forgotten this stubble, and looked at the glory of the palace, and was very happy." ”
Qi Zongwen's eyes widened, and he said half-loudly, "It's all ordinary fabrics, not silk used, besides, this is not for decoration, just for the trees to survive the winter better." ”
"Your Majesty said yes. Qin Yunyi chuckled.
Qi Zongwen felt a little embarrassed, "Are you laughing at me?"
"I don't dare. Qin Yunyi said. "It's just that I think of so many trees outside the palace, and if there is no cloth to wrap them, maybe they will freeze to death next spring, and I feel uncomfortable. ”
"Your Majesty is kind to the world, how can you only care about the warmth of the trees in this palace, and ignore the trees in the world. ”
Qi Zongwen didn't say anything back, took a sip of tea, and then said with some anger, "The first one can also be said that she is simple and kind, and many of the concubines behind her are literate and literate, so why are they so ignorant, and then do this kind of useless work." ”
"It's infuriating. ”
"The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace. Qin Yunyi said, "Why is Your Majesty angry with them? Aren't they just trying to please Your Majesty. ”
"You don't have to please me, and you like to put a tube in my heart. Qi Zongwen said angrily.
"yes. Qin Yunyi smiled, "Otherwise, how can others say that I am pampered and arrogant." ”
Qin Yunyi still reminded Qi Zongwen when he spoke, he was confused by the beauty at that time, and he didn't think deeply, isn't it a waste to wrap clothes in the tree in this winter?
Qi Zongwen returned to the Tianqing Palace, and let Han Xing take people to the harem for a trip, there are still people in the world who are not clothed, and the harem concubines wrap the tree in cloth, and the luxury does not know the suffering of the people, and they need to introspect.
The concubines who learned to do it later, the benefits were not touched, and they were embarrassed, so they hated Tian Guiren even more.
Fortunately, Tian Guiren has the help of swifts and can deal with it.
Jin Guiren watched coldly, and suddenly asked out loud through the tent when Cui Yu was on duty at night, "That Xiao Yan next to Tian Guiren is also from my aunt's side." ”
Cui Yu was silent for a long time before she was alone.
Jin Guiren only felt cold all over his body, "Sure enough, the people who came out of my aunt's side are so capable." ”
"Don't think too much about the nobles, it has always been difficult to support the nobles in the palace, although the slaves and maids don't know why the concubine wants to support the nobles Tian, but they also want her and the nobles to be companions, to help each other and rely on each other. Cui Yu persuaded.
"What my aunt thinks in her heart, the first is the future of the county king, and the second is the future of the Jin family, as for me. Jin Guiren silently wept and said, "It's just a chess piece, and when I see it useless, I threw it away and found another one, which is nothing." ”
"Don't think too much, noble. Cui Yu comforted, "No matter what, the noble person is the niece and nephew of the concubine, and because of this, the concubine and the noble person are inconvenient for many things, so the concubine supports the noble Tian, just wants her to do something that the noble person can't do, if there is really a good thing, the concubine must think about the noble person first." ”
"It's that I'm so proud. Jin Guiren said, "My aunt is right, I have lived a good life for a few years, and I really regard myself as the eldest lady of Jin Jiaoyu, and my aunt taught me all kinds of actions to please His Majesty, and I always can't do it well." ”
"She must have done a good job, so she will be remembered by His Majesty. ”
"Nobleman. Cui Yu said, "The beauty of the nobles is second only to the concubines in the palace, and the nobles will always earn a place in the harem if they cheer up." ”
"yes. Jin Guiren stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, "If you don't seize the opportunity, there will be no chance for me." ”
After a few light snowfalls, there was finally a heavy snow in the moon, a white and clean, on the night of the eleventh day of the lunar month, Qi Zongwen came to Ronghua Palace for the night, at dinner, the last dish was a casserole, which was specially placed in front of Qin Yunyi, Qi Zongwen personally uncovered the lid for her, and the yellow and clear chicken soup was white noodles, green onions, and two poached eggs.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, but tonight I want to eat birthday noodles. Qi Zongwen said with a smile.
Qin Yunyi was a little surprised, she looked at Qi Zongwen, "Your Majesty still remembers?"
"I asked you last year, and if you can't remember, you're going to be sad. Qi Zongwen smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will come back to accompany you after the morning court, and I will accompany you all day, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Your Majesty is going to provoke me to cry. Qin Yunyi said that she hadn't celebrated her true birthday for a long time, and she didn't want to celebrate it, and His Majesty also knew, so he was the only one to accompany her.
The sincerity is moving.
"Hurry up and eat noodles, you can't bite off, eat it in one bite, may my Yun'er be safe and live a long life." Qi Zongwen said.
Qin Yunyi stretched out his hand and took Qi Zongwen's bowl over, and gave him half of the noodles and eggs, "What does it mean for a person to live a long life, I just wish Your Majesty peace and security, and live a long life." ”
"Okay, the two of us will live a long life together. Qi Zongwen smiled.
