Chapter 157: Mountains and Rivers
Fu Xuan explained overnight that Richer Zhi needed to bury Li Erxian, and this was still painful, and a servant in the Wuyi Lane rushed to report: "The big thing is not good, Miss Wei Zhen is missing." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Fu Xuan was shocked, and immediately borrowed a horse and rushed back to Wuyi Lane. The lights in the Wuyi Alley were bright, and the maidservants of the two mansions got up and came out to look for people, even if they knew that it was futile, they had to play with candles in the deep grass in the garden and pretend.
They are also secretly afraid in their hearts, if the person who is found is not a living person, how to explain to the masters, Wang Song entrusts his children to Wuyi Lane, and the divorce is already disgraceful, and he has lost people. But after thinking about it, suicide should not take Yinglang away, but another thought, the maid Xu accompanied the young lady to die together, that is two lives, the maidservants thought about it and felt a chill down their backs, and hurriedly grabbed the fire candle to warm up.
When he was young, the servants sent abroad came back and reported: "I don't see Miss Weizhen going out of the city and returning to Tongzhou overnight. ”
When he was young, another servant came back and reported: "I have found it, Miss Weizhen has entered the palace and gone to Concubine Er." ”
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the candle flame in their hands was blown out in twos and threes, and the crowd flowed back towards their houses, with a little relief on their faces.
Miss Wei Zhen went to Concubine Er's place, and she won't come back in a few days, maybe she won't come back until she returns to Tongzhou, Wuyi Lane has been noisy these days, and the maids are also physically and mentally exhausted, and for them, this moment is also a great relief.
But Weizhen's side was not as easy as being in Wuyi Alley, and their carriage rushed to the palace overnight, and was stopped by the guards immediately.
"Bold! In the car is Miss Wei Zhen, the sister of today's Concubine Niangniang, you guards dare to investigate?"
The guard asked coldly, "Do you have a token?"
"Do you still need a token? Isn't Miss Weizhen's carriage enough to make a pass?"
"If the little girl doesn't have a token, please go back!"
"My Miss Weizhen was invited to the Nanling Mansion to have a banquet to meet Concubine Er's sisters, so face-saving, do you still need a token?"
"Please forgive the little girl, the rules in the palace are that you can only be released if you see the token. The guard is neither humble nor arrogant, and the implication of his words is that he has never heard of Miss Weizhen's name, nor has he seen this Bauhinia pattern case Caihuabao car, so he will not let him go.
These words made Yinglang angry, and he was about to scold his head and face, but he asked Wei Zhen to open the curtain of the car by himself, and got out of the car Chu Chu said: "The guard is reasonable." I am Tongzhou Wang Jiaweizhen, Weizhen's maid is offended, please forgive the guards, the situation is urgent that night, and the guards are annoyed to inform my sister Er Concubine Niangniang, Weizhen has no choice but to ask to see. ”
The guard saw that Wei Zhen was moist and graceful, with an extraordinary figure, and a dignified conversation, she should be a good lady from a big family, if she really had something to find a concubine, he couldn't afford the crime of delay. was hesitating, approaching a little eunuch in front of him, and whispered to him: "This woman is indeed Concubine Er's sister, I saw it when I went to Nanling Palace, and it was the ...... What about the woman who was divorced by Xie Fuxuan's son......"
The guards suddenly realized, slightly bowed their heads and thanked them, but it was a pity that the night of the four watches of the imperial city was too quiet, and the wind and the grass and trees could be heard clearly, this embarrassing words and the guard's expression was impartial accompanied by the lights into Wei Zhen's eyes, which made her instantly annoyed, if she didn't have no way to retreat and then return to Wuyi Lane, she would definitely clean up this guard and the little eunuch.
"Fang Cai didn't know the gold and jade, and he neglected Miss Wei Zhen, how much offense, please forgive Miss for your sins!" The guard was a lot more humble, and the little eunuch on the side hurriedly continued: "What Miss Wei Zhen wants, the little official knows, but at this moment, Concubine Er should be sleeping with His Majesty, Concubine Er Niangniang has been very favored by His Majesty recently, and she sleeps at night, it should be rare to see it when she is not in the middle of the day, it is still dark at this moment, why don't you ask Miss Wei Zhen and me to go to the side hall outside Concubine Niangniang's bedroom to rest for a while, and then make plans tomorrow morning, okay?"
"This ......" the guard looked extremely embarrassed, pulled the little eunuch and said in a low voice, "But even if it is a sister, unless His Majesty agrees, relatives outside the palace are not allowed to enter the palace to save relatives......
"Are you stupid, with Concubine Er's favor at the moment, is it still unfair to such a trivial matter?
"Yes, yes...... It's all up to the petty officer's guidance!"
The little eunuch raised his head casually, smiled flatteringly at Wei Zhen and Ying Lang, and said, "Miss Wei Zhen, please come with me." ”
It was really a bit of a cold back and forth in May, a gust of north wind came, pulling the shadows of the trees in the palace and swaying and swaying, and there were many plants in the palace, and the night wind was even more cold, Wei Zhen walked quickly with the little eunuch, and unconsciously tightened the Tracey blouse.
"It's cooler at night, and later the junior official will pass a bowl of ginger soup to the young lady to warm up. ”
"I'm tired. Wei Zhen said respectfully, "The petty official is really a clever man, no wonder Your Majesty has entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility for the Midnight Guard." ”
"Miss is overrated. The petty official's name is Zhao Man, and he only shares his Majesty's worries. ”
When it was young, the black shadow in front of him was cut open by the stone steps under the foot, and the palace lamps around the large diameter and feet were enveloped with a halo of light, even if it was the night after the moon, there were still guards three or five steps and one person, guarding energetically along the outside of the palace, although Wei Zhen was the first time to enter the palace, but a guess knew that this should be the concubine's bedroom, and the emperor should stay here tonight.
"Miss Weizhen, please rest there first, tomorrow morning, when Your Majesty leaves the palace after breakfast, someone will lead Miss to see Concubine Er. Although the Ming Dynasty was not a petty official errand, the petty official would have a proper handover with the person on the errand. ”
"Zhao Xiaoguan is steady, Wei Zhen is very thankful. ”
"Miss doesn't need to salute, it's time to torture the petty official. ”
The little eunuch and the maid guarding the door of the side hall explained a few words, the maid was very obedient and bowed her head again and again, when the little eunuch signaled, he turned back to the door, Yinglang followed in time, secretly rewarded some money and the little eunuch, the little eunuch thanked him repeatedly, after he went, he changed to the maid to lead Wei Zhen and Yinglang.
It is said to be a side hall, but it is not the big side hall that Wei Zhen saw for the first time, and the three of them walked about hundreds of zhang away, until the main hall of the concubine was lit up. It is said that it is a side hall, but it is more like a small house in Wuyi Alley, more than 100 zhang square, its interior is dim, look up, the hall is clear at a glance.
"Miss Wei Zhen. The maidservant said, "The side hall here is a little simpler, please Miss Wei Zhen stay for a while, and after meeting Concubine Er tomorrow, the lady will decide where to live for the young lady." ”
"Oh, how do you know I want to stay?"
The maid realized that she had missed her mouth, and her face turned red and cramped, and she replied: "Zhao Xiaoguan explained it to me just now......
Wei Zhen put on the smile of the famous lady again, and said gently: "Don't panic, I just thought you had the ability to read minds, and you were so smart that you estimated my mind." It's late at night, and you're to blame for your work, so go back to sleep. ”
"The little maid doesn't dare to sleep, it's the little maid who is on duty at night, and the little maid goes back to the palace to wait, and the young lady has something to call. ”
"Okay, I'm tired. Wei Zhen tilted his face slightly, and Yinglang took out his purse and rewarded the maid with some coins.
The door of the palace was slowly brought up by the maid from the outside, and the warbler waves patrolled the house, only to find some Suhexiang, and then came to ask Wei Zhen to burn it, Wei Zhen was already lazy and lazy to support his forehead, leaning on the red sandalwood tortoiseshell carved couch, Ying Lang asked, but look at her three colors, and did not dare to make more noise. Wei Zhen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a long time, before he lazily opened his eyes and glanced at the box of Su Hexiang, only to see that the yellow silk satin brocade box seemed to be burdened with some years of wind and frost, and some of it was slightly faded and white, so he whispered: "Don't burn it." I look at the so-called side hall interior furniture is all old and antique, just this couch carving case, in Tongzhou Wang's house has long been out of fashion, here I don't know how long this place has been abandoned, presumably the eldest sister should not settle me here tomorrow, but not to swing those dilapidated objects dirty our hands. ”
