Chapter 32: Dong'er informes
That night, after I had told the two girls, I did not want to continue copying the sutras, so I put them away and carefully put them in the cupboard, and then went to bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I didn't sleep well at night, I was always awakened by nightmares, and then I was covered in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Si Kite was on duty at night, and happened to be by my side, poured warm water for me to drink, and the night passed.
On the second day, because he didn't sleep well, his eyes were a little blue, and Rong Yan used a thick layer of powder to cover them. Rong Yan's craftsmanship is also good, adjusting the powder to a color similar to the skin tone, and then applying it carefully. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it.
And I don't need to say goodbye, I'm also a little bored in the palace. There was nothing to do except copy the Buddhist scriptures and practice the pieces to be played in the ensemble at the palace banquet. In the past, when I was at home, I also learned some female labor with my mother, but the craft was not very good. When I was bored, I began to learn to draw patterns with Si Yuan and embroider with Nian Yuan.
At the beginning of learning, naturally I didn't do very well, the lively Nian Yang covered his mouth and snickered, and even the calm and silent Si Kite pursed his lips and held back a smile. I gave them a blank look, but I wasn't discouraged, I just continued to practice. Anyway, in this harem, there is a lot of time to think about finding something to do. As long as I am willing to work hard and persevere, I will definitely be able to do well.
On this day, I was practicing drawing patterns, holding a thin wolf pen, carefully sketching on a plum blossom sent by a quiet concubine on the table, brushing, turning, and then smearing.
Si Kite just stood aside and watched me draw, and when he saw what was not suitable, he would tell me where and how to draw it to look good; Or it is said that it looks good when it is painted like this, but it is not good to look when it is embroidered, and how to draw it will make it look better when it is embroidered. Like an obedient student listening to a lecture, I listened carefully and drew again.
After repeating this a few times, I finally drew a work that Si Yuan barely passed, and Si Yuan put it aside and said to me: "Little master, let's stop here today, it's been half an hour, it's time for the little master to rest." Otherwise, your eyes will be tired. After saying that, I couldn't help but question and put away all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then pulled me out into the yard to bask in the sun.
The sun in winter, even at noon, is not too scorching. What's more, it was the morning, and the sun was shining on my body, so I just felt warm and comfortable. On weekdays, there is always a cold wind in winter, but today it is surprisingly calm, the sky is blue and cloudless.
After sitting in the courtyard for a while, a few girls finished their work and gossiped around me. Rong Yan asked Nian Yang to fetch some snacks, Si Yuan made tea again, I sit, Rong Yan and Xiao Fuzi Xiao Chenzi and they stood, and even Ling'er and Dong'er, who were always on our guard, were there, it was rare to have this kind of day when we got together to talk about homely things.
Nianyang and Ling'er are both lively and love to laugh, and the bursts of silver bell-like laughter in this courtyard have never stopped; Rong Yan and Si Kite are calm, even if they laugh, they cover the corners of their mouths with their sleeves and smile slightly; Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi are honest and honest, and when they laugh, they will only laugh like "hey, hey, hey, hey......", even if they only listen to laughter, they can amuse a group of people.
Hey...... I thought carefully about these people in my heart, and looked over one by one, and several of them had smiles on their faces. Only Dong'er...... It seems to be a little unspeakable, a little hesitant, and looks at Ling'er from time to time, some struggles flashed in his eyes from time to time, and his face is full of worries. I chuckled in my heart, Ling'er is the person we all know about Concubine De's mother, Dong'er...... Could it be a winter......
In the past few days, Si Yuan and Nian Yang have both told me that Dong'er doesn't seem to know about "Ling'er is Concubine De's mother's person". On weekdays, no matter who she deals with, she never sees any flaws. Rong Yan also once said: "She and Ling'er are so good, if she is not really kept in the valley and is too innocent and does not know, then her mind is too heavy-"
We all understand that the second half of Rong Yan's unfinished sentence at that time was: "If she is the former, then it will be fine, if it is the latter...... Then this person's scheming is a little too deep...... It's like a bomb that can detonate at any time, so be careful. ā
Today, Dong'er is suddenly so abnormal, I naturally have some hesitation in my heart. I made a color to Rong Yan, and I saw that Rong Yan was also looking at me. Obviously, she had already noticed that something was wrong with Dong'er. These days, I have become more and more aware of Rong Yan and have become more and more dependent on her. Although she was ostracized among the Queen Mother, after all, her qualifications in the palace are not shallow. Moreover, she once served the concubine Niangniang closely, and she is also familiar with some things.
Seeing my eyes looking at her, Rong Yan understood what I meant and nodded at me. So I said to the girls, "All right, you all go and get busy." Don't surround me here, this time, the noise makes my ears hurt a little. After speaking, he said casually: "Ling'er, haven't we received the monthly order in our palace this month?" Aren't you familiar with Father-in-law? Let's go to the Internal Affairs Office and bring the monthly rules from our palace. ā
Ling'er didn't doubt him, so she responded immediately, and then happily retired and went to the Internal Affairs Office. Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi also listened to me, what should I do, what should I do. I looked at Dong'er with some meaning, and I saw that Dong'er was also secretly looking at me.
I smiled at her, she was slightly stunned, as if she had made up her mind, walked a few steps forward, walked in front of me, and whispered, "Little master, the slave has something to report to you." ā
Out of the corner of my eye, I asked, "Oh? He coughed lightly twice, and said a little loudly: "Si Kite is busy painting patterns, Nian Yang wants to embroider, you are all busy, Dong'er will grind some ink for me, I will copy the Buddhist scriptures." He took Rong Yan and Dong'er to the inner room.
After entering the inner room, I asked Rong Yan to guard the door, and then sat on the chair and waited for Dong'er to say the following. As soon as Dong'er entered the inner room, she immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said to me: "The slave and maid begged the little master to forgive the slave and the maid for the crime of not reporting it, and the slave and maid want to tell the little master ...... The slave and maid have been restless for the past few days because...... Because...... The slave knows a secret! ā
With the demeanor of a concubine, I said flatly, "Oh? What's the secret worth being so nervous about? ā
When Dong'er heard me ask her, it seemed that she couldn't hide what was in her heart anymore, and she whispered a sentence in a panic: "This secret is...... Ling'er is the person of Concubine De! There was still unconcealed horror and helplessness on his face.
