Chapter 19: Dedication
Zhou Ying looked up at the four institutes in Qianxi, and the dim afterglow was sprinkled on the plaque with gold characters on a black background, quiet and serene.
Enter the palace gate, bypass the wall, the bluestone arch in the middle leads to the south to the north, there are small palace rooms in the east and west, there are two enters, there are three enters, there are willows planted on the side of the wall, there are the lakes outside the door...... The scenery is different, but each has its own merits.
Zhou Ying skillfully came to the second palace room in the east, and there was already a little eunuch standing respectfully in front of the door to greet Zhou Ying.
Even this little eunuch guarding the door, in this palace, the eunuch who listens from the outside, the mother-in-law who sweeps in the courtyard, and the palace maid who waits in the inner room...... Whether it is already familiar with it, or it can only be called by name, one is counted as one, and they all stood neatly in the palace gate, and when they saw Zhou Ying enter the door, they bowed down in unison, "Welcome the princess back to the palace." ”
Looking at these familiar or familiar faces, Zhou Ying really had a real feeling.
At this moment, no matter whether these people's intentions are true or false, whether these people are riding donkeys to find horses, or seeing the wind and rudder, seeing the emperor and the concubine rewarding again and again, they treat Zhou Ying differently, and Zhou Ying doesn't plan to care.
Because she has been in this time and space for more than three years, from today onwards, Zhou Ying can be regarded as truly having her own home.
Su Zhi saw that Zhou Ying didn't move, and reminded in a low voice, "Princess." ”
Zhou Ying came back to her senses and smiled, raised her right hand, and wiped her left sideburn with the back of her hand, "Okay, let's get up." Which one came up with this narrow idea, and there will be more time to enter and exit in the future, do you have to come to this battle every time? ”
The palace maids and eunuchs looked at Zhou Ying with a smile on their faces, their tone was close, and their hearts were reassured in their words, and they all relaxed and laughed.
Su Zhi looked at this gossip one by one, this one congratulations, that one loyalty...... It's a mess, it's really not like words. and Zhou Ying has always disliked flattery, Su Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to disperse everyone, those who had errands did errands, and those who had no errands went back to the earroom to rest.
Su Zhi looked back at Zhou Ying again, and saw that her expression was a little relaxed.
When Zhou Ying entered the main house, she saw mahogany boxes stacked one on the floor, as well as an embroidered screen covered with a glass cover, a one-person-high beauty spring porcelain vase, and a pastel porcelain fish tank hugged by the two...... The treasure is bright, and the light is shining.
It was only at this time that Zhou Ying understood where the enthusiasm of these palace maids and eunuchs came from, and she couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
Cherry was sitting on a small footstool, and when she saw Zhou Ying enter the door, she hurriedly got up and greeted her with a smile, "The princess is back, I can be regarded as able to explain." ”
Although Cherry is a decent palace maid, she was assigned to do this kind of trivial thing of sending things, which is more than a half worse than the lychee that is still serving Concubine Xu Guifei closely, but Cherry did not have any resentment on her face, but smiled sincerely.
After all, Xu Guifei is safe and sound, even if she is annoyed by Xu Guifei for a while, but Cherry has been serving for many years, she has already touched Xu Guifei's pulse, and the day of turning over is just around the corner, compared to before she was almost pulled down by the emperor and killed with a cane, it is already a world of difference, how can she be unhappy.
Zhou Ying knew that the cherry would turn over sooner or later, and she would not be offended, "Sister Labor personally sent it, and I waited for this long time, it's really a sin." ”
Cherry was originally sent to play the curtain because of the emperor's anger, but Zhou Ying treated her as usual, and got a little closer to Zhou Ying. Now that Zhou Ying has left Mingxi Palace, according to Xu Guifei's kind treatment of Zhou Ying, I am afraid that she will not cut off contact in the future.
Cherry was intent on getting close, and quipped: "The princess apologized for this crime, I have to make a plaque, so that I can be a family heirloom in the future." ”
Zhou Ying willingly took the cherry as a gesture of goodwill, and said with a smile: "I still want to make a cup of tea for my sister, don't you accompany her, it seems that I can save it." ”
The two of you come and go, so close and flattering.
When the cherries were sent away, Zhou Ying said with a dry mouth, took a sip of tea, but saw seven or eight kinds of dim sum on the tea table, what jade bean cake, sugar steamed cheese, cream pine nut rolls...... The color scheme is bright and the smell is sweet, so people can't help but taste it when they smell it.
Su Zhi has always been steady, but at this time, it is rare to say sarcastic, "This time, the imperial dining room has the time to offer two decent dim sum." ”
was reminded by Su Zhiyi, Zhou Ying also remembered the deliberate neglect of the imperial dining room before, "The imperial dining room is so well-informed? ”
Su Zhi knew that he was taken by Zhou Ying to the Qianxi Fourth Institute this time, and it was hopeless to return to Mingxi Palace. This time Xu Guifei had an accident, except for the two cherry lychees, the others disappeared quietly, and they didn't even see a float. Su Zhi was shocked in his heart, so he followed Zhou Ying with all his heart.
Therefore, this time Zhou Ying asked, Su Zhi no longer covered up, "The rumors in the palace spread the fastest, and this time it was the royal dining room near the water, so I caught up with the first one to offer courtesy." If it weren't for the next spoon, we would have been crowded with congratulations. ”
Zhou Ying vaguely felt a subtle difference, and said with a smile: "It's such a loss, it's been a day today, and I can't entertain anymore." ”
Su Zhi patted his head and said with annoyance: "Look at my memory, the manager of the imperial dining room is still waiting, does the princess want to see it?" ”
Zhou Ying knows that Su Zhi has always been steady, so for a little thing, it is unlikely to be out of his own heart, I am afraid it is more to use this cousin to get close, but also to stand up and serve Zhou Ying.
"I didn't expect my sister to have such a narrow time." Zhou Ying smiled, and didn't see Su Zhi, "The imperial dining room is so neglectful to me, if I make amends, I will rush to forgive, won't the price be dropped?" Sister look at it, just hang it, don't offend it. ”
"Don't worry, princess, just leave it to me." Su Zhi smiled, "You have to beat it every once in a while, and they know that they are inferior and inferior." ”
Zhou Ying has nothing to do, and Su Zhi will not mention it.
On the second day, Zhou Ying was about to go to school, but she was almost blocked by the people who gave gifts to congratulate her. Fortunately, Su Zhi was prepared and opened the corner door of the backyard, and the master and servant quietly slipped away, leaving only Mama Li to watch the door for entertainment.
Fortunately, the inner study was not affected by the turmoil, and it was as calm as ever.
In fact, yesterday, other princesses could know that Xu Guifei almost slipped a tire, and naturally they could also know that Zhou Ying moved to Qianxi No. 4.
As a master, he naturally sees things from a different perspective than a slave. Even if the emperor and the concubine are rewarded for a while, where can it compare to the feeling of brushing up every day in Mingxi Palace. Although Zhou Ying's current result is much better than being implicated, grounded, beaten, or even imprisoned in the cold palace, Zhou Ying's competitiveness has almost been weakened to the extreme, and naturally she will no longer be guarded again.
Others Zhou Ying didn't know, but the second princess Zhou Ke obviously made up her mind to watch coldly.
As for the third princess Zhou Yao, this has always been like a scattered immortal, yesterday she was treated differently when the sun hit the west, and now she looks like a wanderer, Zhou Ying is not surprised.
As for Zhou Mei......
really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Zhou Ying thought of the fifth princess, Zhou Mei walked into the study.
Zhou Mei's steps were light and refreshing.
When she got up early in the morning, Zhou Mei heard that Zhou Ying was kicked out of Mingxi Palace, and even her aunt was demoted to a concubine, which did not affect her good mood. Although the father did not make a clear decree, but if something happened at this juncture, isn't it obvious that it has something to do with the concubine's almost slippery tire?
Those who are shallow-eyed only see more rewards from their father and concubine, but they don't want to think about the methods that the concubine has always had. It involves parents and children, which one will really not care. At present, the concubine is generous, most of them are the heart of Emperor An's father, and when the limelight passes, Zhou Ying will wait for the concubine to settle accounts with her after the autumn!
As soon as Zhou Mei saw Zhou Ying, her eyes lit up.
Now Xu Guifei can't do anything, but I'm afraid that she will be holding back the fire for a long time. If she can teach Zhou Ying a hard lesson and make Zhou Ying completely lose face, wouldn't she be able to please the concubine and give herself a bad breath, just killing two birds with one stone?
Zhou Mei was not in a hurry to make up for her homework, she looked like she was watching a monkey show, looking Zhou Ying up and down, her eyes were full of malice, "How capable I am of being a seventh sister, it turns out that I just ended up being swept away." ”
