Chapter Seventy-Nine: Seeing the Royal Driver Makeup
The disaster in Beijing is still serious, from the eight places all the way to the Forbidden City, Rong Yue only felt as if in the heavenly realm directly fell into the underworld, the wailing and pleading of the victims into the ears, the people who listened to the mood were disturbed, adding a bit of solemnity.
Chun Zao saw that the master was just leaning on the embroidered dragon pattern soft pillow in the carriage in a daze, and she didn't know what to say, she had been serving in the harem for a long time, what it meant for the master to go to the palace this time, she couldn't understand it in her heart.
Due to the collapse of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor moved to the Baohe Hall for daily sitting.
The top of the Baohe Hall is the top of the heavy eaves resting mountain, and the upper and lower eaves corners covered by yellow glazed tiles are decorated with nine beasts such as roof ridge beasts, eaves corner beasts, fairy beasts, and vertical ridge kisses.
Rong Yue followed Su Mo'er into the hall through the back door, and did not dare to look around along the way, and the afterglow swept to see that the palace here was tall and wide, with gold bricks all over the ground, and it was particularly quiet everywhere, and the needle drop could be heard.
She vaguely remembered that there were often some royal private banquets here, and when she was young, she seemed to have been here with Eniang, when the middle of the hall sat north to south and set up a gold lacquer throne carved with a golden dragon, and the carved dragon head on the handrail was hideous, majestic so that people did not dare to look at it directly.
There was a faint sound of courtiers discussing politics in the west, and when the argument reached a critical juncture, it seemed that they were about to quarrel, Su Mo'er saw this, and hurriedly turned around and went to Xinuan Pavilion.
Siqin, the palace maid who was sorting out the miscellaneous things in the room, saw that it was Mama Su who was next to the Empress Dowager, so she hurriedly stopped her work and stepped forward to say goodbye.
Su Mo'er asked her to be exempt, and after a slight mistake, she looked at Rong Yue and said: "This is the Empress Dowager sent to serve the emperor's little lord Rong, stay here from now on, and you must obey the assignment of the little lord Rong." ”
Siqin should be busy, and the few second and third palace eunuchs in the palace hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minions have seen the little master." ”
Although Rong Yue was extremely embarrassed, she still glanced at Chunzao, who prepared a purse and reward silver early in the morning, and hurriedly stepped forward to distribute it to everyone.
The emperor doesn't often go to Kunning Palace, and the early spring is not a good one, so everyone only thinks she is a little familiar, but they don't know that she is in the queen's palace.
Not long after, I saw a palace maid wearing an ochre-colored placket and a blue dark flower skirt coming back, it was the aunt in charge of the palace, called Rong Jin, she was over thirty years old, her eyebrows were calm and gentle, and she was very amiable.
Originally took care of the emperor in the morning, when she reached the age of 18 and should be released from the palace, there was no relatives at home, she was mediocre, so she asked to stay in the palace to serve, the emperor thought of the old times, and knew that she was self-denying and diligent, so she still stayed in the Qianqing Palace as the aunt in charge.
Su Mo'er met with her and asked about the emperor's daily diet and daily life. Rong Jin replied one by one, not daring to be negligent.
Seeing that it was almost noon, but the emperor was still discussing politics, Su Mo'er wanted to ask the emperor for peace and go back, so she had to wait patiently.
After a while, I saw Li Dequan come to say goodbye.
Su Mo'er hurriedly told him to get up, and Li Dequan said: "The slave originally came out on an errand according to the instructions of the Long Live Lord, but I heard Siqin say that Mama was here, so I hurriedly handed over the errand to Siqin, and came to see Mama Su." ”
"You have a heart," Su Mo'er asked, "Do you estimate, when will the emperor have lunch?" ”
Li Dequan replied honestly: "Hey, don't dare to hide it from Mama, long live the Lord only discussed with the ministers this morning about the siege of Kunming, and later discussed the matter of Suiyuan General Cai Yurong and others setting off from Yuanzhou to clear Guiyang, and then there are a few matters to discuss about disaster relief funds and pacifying the victims, but I am afraid that it will not be empty for a while." Fang Cai also asked the servants to go to the imperial dining room to spread the word that they should leave the ministers to have lunch together in the palace......"
Su Mo'er was a little hesitant in her expression, she had been with the master and servant of Xiaozhuang for decades, and she didn't stay with her master, so she didn't feel at ease, she ran an errand at the moment, so she wanted to go back at dawn, so she only beckoned Li Dequan to come closer, and slightly lowered her voice and ordered: "That is the case, it is not good to delay the major affairs of the court and government, so I will tell you to do the same." As he spoke, he pointed at Rong Yue and said, "This is the little master Rong sent by the Empress Dowager to take care of the emperor, and I want you to mention some more." ”
Li Dequan glanced at Rong Yue from the corner of his eyes when he heard this, he had an excellent memory, so he naturally recognized Rong Yue, so he said: "Mama rest assured, the slave will naturally take care of Master Rong." ”
Su Mo'er knew that he was reliable, nodded reassuringly, handed over Xiaozhuang's letter to him for forwarding, and briefly asked about the emperor's diet and daily life, before returning to Xishan.
Rong Yue was not familiar with these people, and suddenly came to the Baohe Palace, which was really a little restrained, and he even felt that his hands and feet had nowhere to put them.
Siqin is a kind person, so he only smiled and let her sit on the soft couch, and said, "Don't panic, little master, our long live master is extremely kind." ”
Rong Yue blushed to the root of her ears when she said this, so she had to take a sip of tea.
Rong Jin came in from outside and invited Shuang'an before saying, "The little master will be tired after a long journey, so the slave will lead you to freshen up and rest." ”
Rong Yueru was released, hurriedly thanked him, and followed Rong Jin around a heavy inner instrument door and entered a wu room.
Although the place here is not big, it is better to arrange it simply and neatly, with a color of black lacquered rosewood furniture, and the cover roll is also like a cluster of new.
Although Rong Jin looked serious, his speech was extremely considerate and thoughtful: "At present, the house is cramped, and the aggrieved master will live in the slave's house for the time being, and the slave will move to squeeze with Siqin." On the left is the transept, and the servant has ordered someone to boil hot water for the little master to freshen up. ”
After a day of tossing, Rong Yue was very tired, so he smiled and said "tired" at this moment, and served from the spring morning to the ear room to bathe and change clothes.
In the early spring, she served her to change into a Tianshui blue silk embroidered small golden silk chrysanthemum yarn palace dress, extremely plain and elegant color, and there were not many pendants, draped on Rong Yue's body, the whole person was clean and pure, and the blue waves rippled in the eyes of the two watery eyes.
Chun had already picked up a branch of red gold and eight treasures with beads inlaid and Tian Meiyu turned a phoenix hairpin on her bun, Rong Yue shook her head slightly, and said, "It doesn't have to be so gorgeous. After that, his eyes fell on the string of silver-clad Nanzhu plum blossoms in the makeup box, and he also knew that his master loved to wear Yingluo, and was about to get it, but he heard Rong Yue say: "I don't wear pearls today, just take the white jade comb back with sapphire grate." ”
Spring is early, and she puts a hairpin in a bun for her.
Rong Yue has chosen a pair of mutton fat jade silk snowflake earrings to wear, and took two soft blue palace yarn sideburns hairpins.
Chun Zao looked at the rhombic bronze mirror carefully, the black hair of the crow was held, and he only wore a jade comb, but the skin of the person who was lined with it was snow-white, and his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.
Rong Yue also stood up and looked in the mirror, Fang sighed softly, she herself didn't know, whether she was jealous of Emperor Long Chongwei's promise, or worried about her inexplicable prospects.
Just as he was shaking his head and sighing lightly, he saw Siqin coming to report and said: "Long live the lord has come back from the next dynasty, can the little master go and ask for peace?" ”
Rong Yue hurriedly responded and followed him back to the palace.
She hung her head, and vaguely saw a man in a bright yellow and gold dragon robe sitting behind the imperial case. (To be continued.) )
