Chapter 19 Lin agrees to visit
After returning to the palace, Si Yuan discussed with Dong'er what gifts to give to Li Guiren, so I went to the room and fiddled with the plum blossoms I had just brought back, found a white porcelain round-bottomed gourd bottle, and filled some water in the bottle, and then put the plum blossoms in one branch. Before putting the pen and fun www.biquge.info inside, cut off some of the leaves that were already messy, and put a few plum blossoms in a beautiful way before placing them on the table.
After Nian Yang came back, he first collected the snow water collected this time, and collected it back and forth many times, before he made up a small urn, sealed it, and put a slightly larger urn outside, so that Xiaofuzi dug a big pit in the yard and put this down, saying that he would wait until the summer to take it out and make tea to feel the coolness of winter.
Ling'er saw me fiddling with plum blossoms, so she made tea and brought it over, and then talked about Li Guiren's pregnancy. said that just before we returned to the palace, a little eunuch came to spread the word that Li Guiren of Zhongcui Palace was pregnant.
Ling'er saw that I didn't react indifferently, so she spoke again: "Li Guiren is really a good life, he was originally an unpopular servant, he defected to Concubine De Niangniang, and he ascended to the sky so quickly, if he regenerates the eldest son of the emperor in the future, then he can't say that this part will be promoted to another rank-" Speaking of this, Ling'er glanced at my expression again, and said as if tentatively: "If the little master also took refuge in Concubine De Niangniang, then the one who got this glory today may be the little master-"
I was still unmoved, and glanced at Ling'er with deep meaning: "An individual has a personal life, and Li Guiren has today's creation, and this glory is not given by others, but by the emperor." Ling'er, as a person in my palace, these words can't be said nonsense outside. ”
It seems that the initial suspicion was not unfounded. Ling'er is only afraid that she is the person who is Concubine De's mother. In this palace, it is natural to be careful step by step, if you are very arrogant and do not pay attention to details, it is easy to die without a place to be buried.
The suspicion of Ling'er was discovered when she went to ask for peace on the first day. I wanted to ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to ask for peace, but Ling'er picked a hairpin for me that Concubine De gave me the day before. Although the hairpin did match the clothes on my body better, it still aroused my suspicions. Because the clothes of the day were also selected by Ling'er.
If I go to ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to say goodbye, but I bring the hairpin rewarded by Concubine De, I am afraid that I have already attracted the attention of the two of them now, and after the ups and downs, don't think about asking for peace and security.
After I came back that day, I instructed Si Yuan to pay close attention to Ling'er's every move in private, although I didn't find any unusual behavior, but I found that Ling'er often chatted with the palace maids of other palaces. And it seems that the palace maids of every palace know each other. It's just a new palace maid, how can she know so many people? This is suspicious.
And what she said today is even more suspicious. If I hadn't been suspicious, I might have thought it was her unintentional remarks, but if I think about it, I am afraid that there are only two meanings to this statement. One is that he wants to provoke the relationship between me and Li Guiren and make me jealous, and the other is that he also wants me to take refuge in Concubine De. Or, the ultimate goal is to borrow my hand to get rid of the child in Li Guiren's belly, and to master my handle, so that I can be her pawn.
Although I didn't do what she said, my heart felt gloomy, as if a huge hand was grabbing me, and I had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
The next day, the snow stopped. As the folk saying goes, "snow doesn't get cold when it snows", which makes a lot of sense. When the snow stopped, the weather did not get warmer, but became colder.
The snow in the yard has been cleared to the corner by Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Chenzi with shovels. It's just that the snow-covered part of the yard is still wet, and I don't want to walk with my feet in sight. And on the pavement in the palace, the fathers-in-law also took coarse salt and sprinkled it, so as not to slip into people after freezing.
The Queen Mother was a little uncomfortable due to the cold weather, and she would not see her old man in the past few days. The queen mother came out to go through the motions with us, and then went to serve the sick, and our concubines could go back to the palace.
As soon as he walked to the door of Cining Palace, Lin promised to chase after him. Without waiting for her to speak, I said first: "Did you promise not to go back with Concubine Jin?" Because Concubine Jin Niangniang is the lord of Yongshou Palace, Lin who lives there promises to naturally live a life of looking up to people. I came to invite An to come to Cining Palace with Concubine Jin's sedan chair.
Hearing me say this, Lin Yu's face was a little pale, but he also said, "The concubine has already taken leave with Concubine Jin...... The concubine said before that she wanted to visit the nobles, but she never had the opportunity, so it is better to ...... today."
I looked at her pale face, and it seemed that she was much thinner than when she first entered the palace. Although everyone in the palace said that Concubine Jin had a good temper and was good-looking, but seeing that Lin promised to do this, this time should not be good. At that moment, there was pity in my heart, but I didn't refuse, so I said, "Then let's go back to the palace together." ”
On the way back, Lin promised not to talk much. It seems that he feels that he is on the road, afraid that someone will listen, and it seems that he is brewing how to speak. Lin promised to find me, there must be something. I wasn't in a hurry, and I was a little curious about what she would say.
After entering Xianfu Palace, I arranged for Ling'er to receive this month's silver, and then asked Nianyang to make tea to entertain Lin Wei. Then he let them all go out first, leaving only Lin and me. Lin promised to look around at the east side hall where I lived, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still a noble and blessed person who can live alone in a palace." ”
I thought in my heart that disrespect to the lord would be punished, and I deliberately mentioned her, so I said: "I heard that Concubine Jin has a good temper, and there is Princess Yihua under her knees, and her monthly grace continues, and I want to promise to live well in Yongshou Palace." ”
Lin agreed for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What the noble man said is true." Concubine Jin's treatment of concubines is indeed good. Then there was silence for a while, and Lin promised to speak again: "Your noble person must also know my intention." As early as when we were still in Chuxiu Palace, I followed the concubine Niangniang in front of the saddle - the concubine Niangniang has the support of the Queen Mother, as well as the emperor's favor, and she will definitely have a great future in the future. ”
I thought to myself, although I heard Mama Bai say that Lin promised to take refuge in Concubine Shuniang when I was in Chuxiu Palace, I didn't see any clues. The city that Lin promised is not so shallow on the surface.
Then, she turned around, looked at me with some blank eyes, and said, "Why don't you go to the side of the lady and form an alliance with each other?"
