Chapter 237: Wind and Water
After Chu Yun left, Qingqing had no sleep all night.
After a few days, the master of Chaoxiang Palace did not come, and Qi Xuan was a little puzzled, it can be seen that his master looks preoccupied, and he is not like before to make a few troubles. Fortunately, the master of Yiju Pavilion often comes over.
And Chaoxiang Palace has not been peaceful recently.
Du Youlan gets up every morning, and after freshening up, the first thing she does is to go to Shoukang Palace to say goodbye. Not for anything else, to get a good name. Moreover, since she knew the relationship between Lu Yun and the Queen Mother, she naturally had to be more diligent.
She and Lu Yunming are nothing, but the two have never been together, and they don't negotiate too much, so everyone in the harem knows that the two masters of Chaoxiang Palace and Yiju Pavilion are not harmonious.
In addition, the letters sent from Du Mansion have not been broken in recent days. After reading the letter, it will be burned, but the words are nothing more than one thing, and I am upset when I see too much, but Du Youlan is slightly different. From childhood to adulthood, she tended to be in a situation, she clinged to her father and learned everything that could please others, because only in this way could she live well.
But now is different from the past, she is the emperor's concubine, one person is above 10,000 people, and she holds everyone's lives in her hands. At this time, even the life and death of the queen and the mother of a country were in her thoughts, and the letter written by Prime Minister Du Cheng was like a letter of promotion, wordlessly stating that Du Youlan's status in his father's heart was supreme and unshakable.
In this regard, Du Youlan's behavior became a little softer, and there was no previous hatred between her eyebrows.
A palace maid knocked over the rouge box, and the rouge powder was scattered all over the ground. The palace maid knew that she had made a mistake, so she immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and even slapped her face. But who knows, instead of raising her eyebrows coldly, Du Youlan sneered and scolded: What is this for? This palace is not a tiger, and it will not eat you. Although this rouge is good, if you fall, you will fall, is it possible to cut your life to pay for it?
The girl was stunned and looked up at a loss. Zijuan reprimanded, and the girl hurriedly apologized and fled.
For a while, the mother of Chaoxiang Palace changed her temperament and became amiable. The palace people believe it as true. In this way, she really accumulated a reputation as a good daughter-in-law and a good master.
On this day, Du Youlan brought a lot of snacks to Lengyou Palace.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ren Qingqing behind the thin curtain raised from a distance, and there was another person sitting opposite him, and when he looked closely, it was Lu Yun. In the past few days, Lu Yun often came to Lengyou Palace to see Qingqing, the two chatted and gossiped, and from time to time they also talked about Lu Shui guarding the border.
The miscellaneous palace maids guarded outside the palace, and only two close-fitting palace maids followed into the palace, holding food boxes and snack boxes in their hands. The purple cuckoo followed Du Youlan's side.
Du Youlan slowly approached. Ren Qingqing seemed to have noticed, turned her eyes, and smiled lightly. After the person approached, Qing Qing said: I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems to be different.
Du Youlan smiled and said: There have been a lot of things in the past few days, so I don't have time to come to see my sister, and please don't blame my sister.
At this time, Lu Yun on the side interjected: What is there to blame, what he said makes people listen to it contrived.
When Du Youlan heard this, she didn't get angry and said: What did my sister say? My sister is the master of the harem, and it is right to come and talk to her every day. Aren't you here too?
When Lu Yun heard this, he glared at him angrily, stood up, and said to Qingqing: Sister, I don't want to be with her, since she can't drive away when she comes, I'll go back first. Come back next time when no one is disturbing.
Qing Qing smiled and nodded.
After Lu Yun left, Du Youlan said: Sister Lu still can't speak well.
As he spoke, he sat down on the chair opposite Qingqing.
Qingqing listened and said: Yun'er's cuteness is in that kind of place, doesn't my sister think it?
Du Youlan said: I don't have any other intentions, I just think that it would be good if Sister Lu could have half of her sister's virtuous lady, and she wouldn't let the people in the palace see the joke.
Qingqing said: Laughing or not laughing is all based on personal thoughts. Let's not overthink it.
Seeing that Qingqing didn't have a smile on her face, and after hearing this again, Du Youlan said: Yes, I understand what my sister said. I won't say it again.
After speaking, he said: By the way, the last time I went to the Imperial Garden, the flowers had not bloomed yet, and after these days, maybe they have bloomed a little. Let's go and see it tomorrow. What do you think?
Qingqing listened and said: I met the emperor last time I went there, and now I don't want to go.
Du Youlan asked: Do you want to see the emperor?
Qingqing shook her head with a smile and said, "It's not that I don't want to see the emperor, but I'm afraid that I will be embarrassed after meeting."
After hearing this, Du Youlan laughed and said, "No." My sister was thinking a lot. If I bumped into the emperor this time, how about leaving immediately? Then my sister wouldn't have to worry.
Seeing Qingqing was silent. Du Youlan asked: Does my sister have any other concerns? It's just to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, so I should accompany my sister?
After hearing this, Qingqing had no choice but to say: Okay then.
Du Youlan smiled and took Qingqing's hand and said, "Sister is so good!"
Next.
After getting up in the morning to freshen up, I saw Du Youlan coming from the other side of the century-old forest. Qi Xuan came to the main house and told Ren Qingqing about Du Youlan's arrival, while serving the master with Dye Zhi to dress.
A moment later, Du Youlan walked straight into the hall and walked towards the main house. At this time, Qingqing was also dressed. After the girls had all saluted, Du Youlan looked at Qingqing from head to toe, and said with a smile: Sister is really a fairy!
Qingqing smiled and said: My sister is exaggerating, but it's just what she looks like on weekdays.
Du Youlan Dao: Even if there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, they can't match you. Otherwise, how could the emperor love his sister so much.
Qingqing said: The emperor is not a person who will fall in love because of his appearance.
Du Youlan bent the corners of her mouth and asked, "What does the emperor like about you?"
Qingqing looked at her and smiled: Do you think the emperor doesn't like you?
When Du Youlan heard this, she was a little flustered when she was asked back, but quickly replied: Of course the emperor likes me.
Qingqing smiled and said: Since this is the case, why should you care about what the emperor likes about others.
Du Youlan suddenly felt that she was being put on the table.
I saw the corners of her mouth slightly opened, showed a smile, and replied: What my sister said makes sense.
Du Youlan's heart was full of anger, since the last trip to the Imperial Garden, she became more and more sure that the emperor would never forget Ren Qingqing, and she was deeply affectionate. And the emperor can be so infatuated with Ren Qingqing, it must be because of his appearance, the face that captivates the country and the city. At this time, in her opinion, Ren Qingqing still looked like she was on top, and her words were all perfunctory, which was really unpleasant.
