374 Waiting
In the dim twilight, in the golden city, in the noisy and noisy forbidden palace, a beautiful woman was anxiously walking, pacing, and wandering in front of the palace. She looked at the palace gate from time to time, and looked at the palace wall from time to time, her face was worried, her face was full of nervousness and worry. "Niangniang, sit down for a while, you've been standing for an hour!" A palace maid came to her with tea, and when she saw it, she waved her away impatiently.
"Go down, don't bother me! Don't you see that Hongu is annoyed? The beautiful woman said to the palace maid with a distraught face, and after speaking, she put on a look of disgust, and the palace maid saw this, so frightened that she withdrew from the front of the palace with tea, leaving the beautiful woman, wrapped in brocade clothes, standing and wandering under the invasion of ice and snow, and even frozen.
"Mother, get warm!" In her ears, a soft voice came, and when the beautiful woman saw the visitor, she asked happily, "Have you seen Lord Dou?" The person who came shook his head: "Shuman is useless, I can't ask anything, but I was blackmailed by the soldiers guarding the city gate, and I took away the earrings and pearl hairpins, they said that the mother was down, there is nothing to fear!" ”
It turned out that the person who came was Shuman, and the beautiful woman was Concubine Xuan, who was waiting for Dou Yi to come back and return to her life.
"What? This group of sluts who praise the high and step on the low, they dare to treat the people of the palace like this, they are really damned, damned! After Concubine Xuan heard Shuman's words, the whole person shouted uncontrollably, her face was hideous, and the jewelry at one end fell to the ground in a mess. Seeing this, Shuman picked up the jewelry, and then turned around and took a small cloth bag and handed it to Concubine Xuan: "Niangniang, it's cold outside the palace, you take it to keep warm!" ”
As she spoke, Shuman put the small cloth bag in Concubine Xuan's hand, and after Concubine Xuan took the small cloth bag, she was surprised, and then she asked, "What is this?" How is it so warm? Shuman smiled and replied: "Back to the mother's words, this is the iron sand that the slave maid asked for from the chef's office, His Majesty recently likes to eat chestnuts, so he invited the chef in Jiangnan who specializes in making chestnuts, and the chef always uses iron sand to fry chestnuts, and this iron sand is more and more fried, the hotter it is, and the slave and maid begged to dry the hands of the mother." ”
After Shuman finished speaking, she wiped the jewelry clean and inserted it back into Concubine Xuan's bun, Concubine Xuan warmed her hands, looked at the bronze mirror held by Shuman, she smiled: "Shuman, you are really good, and your heart is clear, it's a pity, with such a master in this palace......" "Niangniang must not be presumptuous, Niangniang is a good person, Shuman knows that everything Niangniang does is for self-preservation, this is the survival law of the harem, it is impossible to avoid!" Shuman persuaded Concubine Xuan, and when Concubine Xuan heard this, her eyes were full of tears, and the whole person was shocked.
"Shuman, this palace treats you like that, but you ...... Alas! Concubine Xuan smiled bitterly and said to Shuman, but she stopped talking and stopped. Niangniang, the slave doesn't think there's anything wrong, the mother's kind slave knows, and the slave also knows that the slave also knows that the slave has only one thought, that is, to serve the master well, so that the master can be happy! Seeing that Concubine Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, Shuman hurriedly knelt down and swore her loyalty to Concubine Xuan.
Seeing this, Concubine Xuan hurriedly picked up Shuman: "You kid, this palace didn't let you kneel, why are you doing this!" After speaking, Shuman had already helped herself up under Concubine Xuan's movements, and she blessed Concubine Xuan: "Thank you Niangniang, thank you Niangniang!" When Concubine Xuan saw it, she smiled bitterly: "Shuman, you go down first, and rest early!" ”
When Shuman heard this, he nodded: "The slave will be, but Niangniang, the slave will go and bring the dinner first, after you have the dinner, Lord Dou may come!" When Concubine Xuan heard Shuman's words, she didn't pretend at the moment, she reached over, and Shuman cleverly took Concubine Xuan's hand and walked towards the inner hall with her. When he arrived in the inner hall, Shuman pushed the stove to Concubine Xuan's side: "Niangniang, take warmth, and the slave will come when she goes!" ”
Shuman said and hurriedly walked out, while Concubine Xuan gradually weakened the smile until it disappeared. "This child, clever and sloppy, how can this furnace burn so brightly? Is...... Ahem...... Ahem! Concubine Xuan pushed the stove farther away, but this movement made her smell the smell of charcoal in the stove, she frowned, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
After a while, Shuman came back, and as soon as she came back, she said to Concubine Xuan: "Niangniang, there is beef today, Xu is Your Majesty remembered Niangniang, and specially ordered the kitchen to send it, you taste it, it must taste very good!" After Concubine Xuan heard this, her face showed dissatisfaction, and when she saw it, she asked with some trepidation: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Is it cold? The slave and maid will fetch your clothes for you! ”
With that, Shuman got up and walked to the dormitory, "Shuman, don't go, you come back, come to the palace!" Concubine Xuan's voice was very calm and said to Concubine Xuan, when Concubine Xuan heard this, she walked to Concubine Xuan at a loss, she blessed her body, and asked Concubine Xuan: "Niangniang, did the slave do something wrong?" If so, please punish the mother! ”
Seeing this, Concubine Xuan sighed, and she frowned a little between her eyebrows: "You answer this palace honestly, is the outside bullying you now?" "This one, you guys, Shuman's face became panicked, she looked at Concubine Xuan in a daze, and then said hesitantly: "Niangniang, no, not like this...... Don't listen to the palace people's nonsense, there is no such thing! ”
"Really?" Concubine Xuan asked Shuman in a strange way, and when Shuman heard this, her expression became panicked: "Niangniang, really...... ......Seeing this, Concubine Xuan sighed and said: "Shuman, don't lie to the palace, if you don't bully us outside, why is this charcoal fire the most smoking?" When Shuman heard this, she was surprised, and then she knelt down and said to Concubine Xuan: "Niangniang forgives her sins, the slave maid doesn't want Niangniang to be so worried, so the slave maid ......."
"Get up, this palace knows, this palace is no longer respected by the outside world, this palace knows!" Concubine Xuan said a little self-defeatingly, and after speaking, she got up and helped Shuman to get up: "You go down, have dinner first, and after you are done, go to see if Lord Dou has returned to the palace, if there is, you will come back to report to the palace; If not, go back and rest! ”
Seeing this, Shuman opened his mouth: "Niangniang, whether there is or not, the slave will still come back!" Niang Niang must be very lonely alone! When Concubine Xuan heard this, her face froze, and then she smiled bitterly: "Go, go quickly!" When Shuman heard Concubine Xuan's words, she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, the slave will go down!" After speaking, Shuman blessed Concubine Xuan, then closed the vermilion gate and left in a hurry.
Not long after Shuman left, Concubine Xuan was talking to herself, when suddenly a very steady magnetic voice sounded, Concubine Xuan was startled, and then after seeing the blue-robed figure, she smiled sincerely, she was surprised and happy to the blue-robed figure: "You, you are finally back!" ”
