Chapter Forty-Seven: Turning Evil into Good
The winter nights are long, the fifth watch has passed, but the sky is not yet clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the Qianqing Palace, there is only one candle flame.
Li Mu'er was dressed in official uniforms, walking on His Majesty Dan, and even humming a small song in his mouth.
It can be seen that she is in a good mood.
Looking up at the weeping beast high on the top of the temple, the phoenix fairy rider had a slender neck and looked ahead, quite chic.
Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, after the defeat of King Qi of Qi, he was forced by the pursuing soldiers and fled to the riverside, looking desperate. Suddenly, a large bird flew in front of him, and the monarch hurriedly rode on the big bird to save the day. Therefore, people put it at the end of the ridge of the building, which means that evil will turn into good fortune.
When evil turns into good fortune, Li Mu'er smiled heartily and slowly walked into the hall.
Looking at the long-lost hall and the long-lost dragon chair, my heart is particularly cordial.
He has not yet gone down to court.
Li Mu'er was about to step forward, when she suddenly heard someone greet behind her: "Morning female bachelor."
Listening to this voice, Li Mu'er turned around suddenly, and saw that the person who came was dressed in the most ordinary blue prison clothes, tied with a black leather belt, wearing a tooth tag, an eggplant bag and a knife, and a braid line was faintly visible around the waist, and the line was pleated. Look at this costume, it looks like a person in the palace, and it looks like a person in the high palace, and it is about a member of the twelve eunuchs. He looked about her age, with clear eyebrows, and his fingers holding the tea tray were as green as shallots, and he was three points more slender than her. She was looking at herself, but she saw him holding hot tea, passed her, and walked to the side of the desk with great familiarity.
Li Mu'er had some impressions of him, but at most he had only seen one or two sides in the palace.
However, his actions made her suddenly remember that Zheng Jinlian was no longer here on an errand, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Then he asked briskly, "Are you?"
The other party replied generously: "The little one's name is He Wending, the female bachelor went to the Hanlin Academy to help, and the Qianqing Palace is short of people to serve, and the little one has been working here on an errand for the past few months."
"Zheng Jinlian went to the Empress Dowager, I know, but I remember that there was an internal envoy named Liu Shan who was here before, why did he also leave?"
"Yes, I've been transferred elsewhere."
Li Mu'er nodded, smiled at him again, and said, "Then we will be colleagues and partners in the future!"
He Wending smiled back with a subtle smile.
Li Mu'er took the cinnabar ink in his hand and grinded it, and in the next moment, he saw Zhu Youzhu walking in from the entrance of the hall.
didn't dare to be rude in front of outsiders, she hurriedly followed He Wending to say goodbye.
Zhu Youzhu hadn't seen her in the Qianqing Palace for a long time, and she was in a very good mood, so she walked quickly to the seat and took a sip of tea, and asked, "Have you asked each other okay?"
Li Mu'er didn't stare at him directly, but only bowed his head with He Wending.
Zhu Youzhu looked at her bowing her head and looking at her, and her heart was very beautiful, "You don't know yet, He Changsui is kind to you." ”
"Grace?" Li Mu'er raised her head in confusion and looked at He Wending.
He Wending bent down and said modestly: "The emperor is joking, and Weichen doesn't dare to take credit."
Li Mu'er rolled her eyes, she really couldn't think of where she had received his favor, Zhu Youji saw her look suspicious, so she patiently explained it to her.
It turned out that she was defiled as an assassin in the Qianqing Palace that day, He Wending happened to pass by and found out, and when he heard Zheng Jinlian speak, he waited for the opportunity to remind Zhu Youzhu that she was in trouble, so that Zhu Youzhu had to take precautions.
Li Mu'er looked at He Wending gratefully, in this way, it is really a great kindness! If Liu Ji was framed in front of the Manchu ministers, where could he be dealt with as easily as later.
Then he arched his hand and said: "He Chang is invited to accept Yingzhong's worship." I didn't expect that there are still righteous people in the palace who are not afraid of sinister, Yingzhong and you don't know each other, you are willing to help when you see injustice! ”
He Wending laughed at her words, and said: "The little one just admires the talent of the female bachelor, and he thinks that he has some eyesight to distinguish between right and wrong."
Li Mu'er didn't say anything anymore, but there was no taboo about this He Wending in her heart.
It could be seen that Zhu Youzhu was the same, because he flicked her forehead again as if no one was around, and asked, "After saying what I gave you back to the palace, tell me quickly, what do you want?"
Li Mu'er instantly remembered that he was referring to the birthday gift owed yesterday. But she really hadn't figured out what she wanted yet.
Zhu Youzhu saw that she thought about it for a long time, and then thought of the two sword spikes, and asked sourly: "Is the tassel on your sword always given by Ma Cong?"
"Well, yes," Li Mu'er just wanted to add that it was all made up by him, but after looking at his eyes, he immediately understood what he meant, and then blushed and said, "He is like my own brother, the kind of kiss!" ”
Zhu Youji's face turned slightly pale.
Li Mu'er held back a smile, and suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Ah, I know what I want!" You put my sword away and gave me a new scabbard. But my family's scabbard is also very well-written. Can you help me make another one? ”
"What's so hard about that?" Zhu Youzhu replied briskly, "Do you remember what it looks like?" ”
"Of course I do. Give me a piece of paper and I'll draw it for you. Li Mu'er said and drew with a pen.
He Wending retreated silently with great interest. Only Li Mu'er and Zhu Youzhu were left in the hall.
One standing, the other sitting.
One is tracing and the other is watching.
One talked, the other laughed.
The two were very close to each other, and Li Mu'er explained while drawing: "The sheath should be accompanied by a red agate, which does not need to be precious, but it must be made according to the mechanism I wrote...... There is also a gossip ring...... Moire sword dart...... My name tag is a white jade plaque carved with a snake and a pattern like this...... All right! You must do it for me quietly, this is my family heirloom. ”
When she turned around, she found that Zhu Youzhu was watching her silently, with a smile in her eyes, revealing all kinds of tenderness.
Li Mu'er was ashamed and wanted to move away, but he grabbed her waist, and then his rare charming voice sounded in her ears again: "Yingzhong, are you willing to be my concubine?"
Imperial concubine?!
Yingzhong?!
Li Mu'er suddenly lost her mind. Her sweetheart is actually proposing to her face-to-face. It turns out that he has grown up to the age where he can get married?
It's a pity that his name is not her name.
nor did he marry her.
She tried her best to break away from his hand naturally, knelt down and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Yingzhong has never wanted to be a concubine in this harem, she only wants to be your female bachelor for the rest of her life."
Zhu Youji's hand was still frozen in place, and he smiled sadly, and said, "Okay, I am very relieved that you can think so."
You can think that way, it saves me a lot of trouble.
Okay, you're good.
Li Mu'er got up to work, and Zhu Youzhu put away the picture she drew and hid it in his sleeve, and began to review the folding.
For a while, neither of them was speechless.
However, when this day came to an end, Li Mu'er obviously felt that Zhu Youji was unhappy.
But he was introverted, his emotions were hidden very deeply, and he didn't show it at all, and even said goodbye to her when he went to Kunning Palace.
Li Mu'er sat on the threshold of Yongsu Hall and sighed, why did she fall into this strange circle with him, she didn't, she had to and she didn't.
