Chapter 49: Sachets

"Hmph." Ning Chumei chuckled: "Sister is really thinking about her sisters, your exquisite mind is really not something that others can guess." ”

She said, glanced at Bai Sang, who was not responding, smiled, and continued to say with a straight face:

"Then I'm doing this, is my sister going to help?"

Bai Sang shook his head: "I have already advised you, don't do this stupid thing." Not only will it not please you, but you will only end up playing with fire*. ”

Bai Sang's words are not unreasonable, if she wants to overthrow the queen and let her sister sit in the back seat, it is indeed not easy for her to be alone. Knowing that she was persuading herself, Ning Chumei was still a little unhappy in her heart when she heard it, paused, and said with a smile:

"It's okay if you don't help, listen to my sister, this is a good show for nothing, and my sister doesn't want to watch it?"

"There are a lot of good dramas in the palace, and there is no shortage of sisters."

Bai Sang glanced up at her, saw the slightly puzzled eyes of the previous person, lightly opened his thin lips, and said lightly: "You just have to wait, it won't be long before there will be a good show to watch." ”

Ning Chumei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Oh? Yes, listening to my sister say this, it's really exciting. ”

Bai Sang turned his gaze to the tea cup on the side, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Ning Chumei curled the corners of her mouth, thought about it and said, "Since it's a good show, I'm still kind enough to remind my sister." ”

She approached Bai Sang and said slowly: "Sister, look at such a smart person, but don't even discipline your own personal palace maid well." When it is spread out, it is meant to be a joke. ”

Bai Sang lowered his eyes calmly, and naturally knew who the personal palace maid in Ning Chumei's mouth was referring to.

In the two days since he returned to Huaqing Palace, Bai Sang still let Chunlan serve him by his side.

Concubine Yi has always spoken little, even to the palace maids in her palace, she is not very close. In the past few days, except for the fact that his body looked a little weak, he was also cold and quiet, as usual, as if nothing had happened. But this Chunlan's heart is always trembling.

On this day, when the mother got up as usual, sat in front of the mirror and was groomed by the palace maids, she rarely opened her mouth:

"Chunlan, this palace heard that before you came to this Huaqing Palace, you worked in the main clothing bureau?"

Chunlan paused for her hand holding her hair in a bun and replied, "Hui Niangniang, yes." ”

Bai Sang continued to ask: "Then you must have done a good job as a female celebrity?" ”

"The mother has won the award, but it's just an average level."

Bai Sang smiled and still asked casually: "How is the embroidery?" ”

"It's still passable."

Bai Sang looked in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Your hands are skillful, and even the bun of the main palace is getting better and better." ”

Chunlan smiled a little unnaturally, and Bai Sang stood up and took her hand and said:

"In a few days, it will be the Begging Festival, and all palace ladies will offer incense sachets to the emperor."

Chunlan froze, not knowing what Concubine Yi meant by these words this morning, so she only continued to listen to her:

"The sachet of this palace is ready, but the flowers embroidered on it are really embarrassing." Bai Sang looked distressed, and as he spoke, he took out a plain white thing from his arms and handed it to the person in front of him:

"It's a joke to say, this palace has always been weak in terms of female red, and it can't even embroider a single flower. If it were an ordinary sachet, it would be fine, but Bengong thought that this thing to be dedicated to the emperor could not be so casual. Since you are good at this, you can help this palace embroider some beautiful patterns on it. ”

Chunlan shook her head again and again, not daring to take the sachet in her hand: "Niangniang, this, the slave doesn't dare." ”

"Why not?"

Chunlan lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The slave heard that this sachet dedicated to the emperor was made by the ladies of each palace herself. If so, if the slave and maid intervene, the emperor will know, but he is afraid ......"

"If you don't say this, if you don't say it, who will know?"

Chunlan still lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

Bai Sang glanced at her and continued:

"Chunlan, I haven't asked you in the palace in the past few days, where were you when the Japanese palace fell into the water?"

Chunlan's heart tightened: "Slave maid ......"

"It's because this palace knows that you were also panicked at that time, and I can't blame you for this matter."

Chunlan nodded again and again, Bai Sang saw that her face softened slightly, and then changed her words:

"This palace has not rewarded you with a board, and it is for the sake of your dedication to serving this palace that you continue to keep you by your side. Now is your chance to make amends. ”

Saying that, Bai Sang stuffed the sachet into her hand, and said softly: "You take this sachet first, if it is really not good to embroider, this palace will not force you." ”

Chunlan heard her say this, so she finally took the sachet in her hand: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

The sachet given by Bai Sang seems to have already been filled with the contents of the inside, if nothing is embroidered, although it looks a little plain, it can be used. What is rare is that when I took it, I smelled a special fragrance, and I don't know what was put in it. Chunlan returned to the house and took a closer look, then went out with the sachet again.

Zhao Nuan Palace.

"This is the sachet she is going to give to the emperor?"

Concubine Chen lay on the soft couch and sniffed the plain white sachet on the tip of her nose.

Different from the stronger aroma of other sachets, the fragrance of this sachet is light, but people can't help but smell it again. Inhaling the tip of her nose, it seems that something is stirring her heart, and she is used to using her own sachet, which will even make her admire, this smell is really good.

The palace maid on the side heard the voice and responded: "Hui Niangniang, yes." ”

Concubine Chen half-closed her eyes, thinking to herself, could it be that Concubine Yi relies on this fragrance to seduce the emperor on weekdays?

After a long time, she opened her eyes again and asked:

"This palace heard that the emperor went to Huaqing Palace again the day before yesterday, did she say anything?"

Aunt Chunlan said that when the emperor asked about that day in the Huaqing Palace...... Concubine Yi only said that she had accidentally fallen into the lake by herself......"

"Oh? Is there anything else you can mention? ”

"Nope." The palace maid shook her head: "The other people present that day, not even you, Niangniang, she didn't mention it. ”

Concubine Chen pinched the plain sachet in her hand and looked left and right a few times, lowered her head thoughtfully.

According to what the palace maid of Huaqing Hall said, this Concubine Yi seems to be a master who is not too hard-hearted. Even if she deliberately humiliated her that day, she never replied. If this matter had been changed to me being so wronged, I am afraid that the emperor would have already asked the emperor to help support him. Looking at her docile appearance these days, is she really a soft persimmon who is easy to bully?

"Guanyue, you go to the Tai Hospital and ask Doctor Xu to come." Concubine Chen raised her head and said to the palace maid on the side: "Just say that the palace is unwell, please ask him to come and take a look." ”
