(83) First peek into the attic
Today, Song Mier is accompanied by Zhu Lu and Yu Lan. Yu Lan and Shujie get along well, today to see the Queen Mother, Shujie did not go, asked Yu Lan to send the Queen Mother a set of snowflake satin jacket and long skirt cut by herself, Zhu Lu and Yu Lan befriended, so they followed.
Song Mier was intercepted by Shen Zhan on the way back to the palace, and Zhu Lu and Yu Lan naturally had to follow, but when they arrived at the bamboo forest, An Jin didn't let them in.
"Queen Mother, please don't embarrass the slave, Your Majesty has ordered, only let the mother go in alone, if Zhu Lu and Miss Yulan also go in, this, how can this make the slave explain!"
This place is Shen Zhan's world alone, even the eldest princess and the queen mother have never entered, although I don't know why Shen Zhan let himself in today, Song Mier will not feel that he is captivated by the city, Shen Zhan was blinded by beauty, and opened his mind and body to himself. Since it wasn't for this reason, it was already an "honor" to be able to go in today, to put it mildly, how could I bring the maid in with a big grin?
Besides, who knows what secrets are in the attic, in case Zhu Lu Yulan accidentally overhears something that shouldn't be known outside, whether she can really protect them has to say.
"In that case, you are waiting outside for this palace." Song Mier nodded at An Jin.
"Master!" Zhu Lu disagreed, she didn't doubt An Jin, but people are unpredictable these days, who knows if this An Jin is really His Majesty's person? Is there any work for others behind the scenes? He mysteriously invited his master alone, who knows what his idea is. If you are with Yu Lan by your side, it will be easy to deal with it, but if you let the master go in alone, no one knows what is behind it!
An Jin looked at Zhu Lu looking at him with suspicion and distrust, and suddenly became a little unhappy. What kind of eyes are that! Dare to be affectionate and suspect that he is going to be unfavorable to the queen? This will is under His Majesty, don't you suspect His Majesty, do you still suspect that the miscellaneous family is a traitor?! Don't look down on people like this! The old slave I have served my master innocently for twenty years, and I have been by His Majesty's side since the moment he was born. In the past 20 years, the old slave has done a bad thing? Can you carry your majesty and your conscience once?
Song Mi'er looked at An Jin's expression more and more unhappy, and looked at Zhu Lu's eyes when he looked at people, how could he not know what these two people were making up in their brains. I can't help but be helpless and funny.
"Okay, Zhu Lu, what are you worried about! The most unlikely person in this palace to betray His Majesty is the eunuch An Jin. You're waiting for me right here, huh? ”
As soon as Song Mier said this, An Jin's aggrieved look only went a little. Zhu Lu has always listened to Song Mier's words the most, and seeing Song Mier's trust in An Jin like this, although he still has doubts in his heart, he has already respectfully compensated An Jin on his face. stepped aside, waiting for Song Mier to come out, he had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as there was any movement, he and Yu Lan would rush in to save the master, regardless of what palace rules and etiquette he had, and who was there! Five Elements Bagua Array? Hum! It's hard to beat yourself!
An Jin saw that Zhu Lu Yulan had retreated to the side, so he led Song Mier to the depths of the bamboo forest with a smile as if he was fine.
Song Mier saw An Jin's appearance, but he had some thoughts, it seemed that he still had a lot of face in front of Shen Zhan, otherwise he would not have made his young maid face to the old eunuch in the palace, and he would still smile at himself. However, what does Shen Zhan mean by letting himself come to this attic for the first time today?
After thinking about it, Song Mier followed An Jin to turn left and right, as if he walked out of the bamboo forest after a while.
As if breathing clearly, Song Mier raised his head, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
Boy!
I didn't even know there was a hot spring hidden here!
This loft was built on the edge of the hot spring!
Shen Zhan is too good at enjoying it, right?!
Song Mier was shocked.
She was really, really shocked.
She has been running around the palace for more than ten years, and she never knew that there was a hot spring here!
The eldest princess has never mentioned it to herself, and it seems that she doesn't know.
Shen Zhan is really amazing! After hiding from everyone for so long, one person quietly occupied a hot spring! It's still natural!
When An Jin looked at Song Mier's appearance, he knew that he was stunned by the hot spring. Hurriedly added, "There was originally a hot spring living water underground, and I didn't know it before, until a few years ago, I accidentally found that the stream closer to the bamboo forest froze thinner, and the closer to the attic the flowers and trees grew, the better, even in winter, some uncold-tolerant flowers and trees are also in good spirits, so there is a suspicion, let people dig it, and then discover this hot spring." However, after discovering the hot springs, His Majesty did nothing, and it was not until the back Niangniang entered the palace that His Majesty ordered someone to renovate and repair this place to create a natural hot spring pool. Niangniang don't see that there is only such a pool of water outside this attic, let's have led this pool of water into the attic, and you can look at this world comfortably inside! ”
Song Mier raised his eyebrows, An Jin's words sounded as if this hot spring was prepared for himself.
But she didn't ask this, she only looked left and right, and didn't see Shen Zhan's figure, "What about Your Majesty?" ”
"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the attic!" An Jin made a gesture of "please", "The slave can't go up to the attic, and he can't go with the mother, and the sea king will forgive the sin." ”
It's mysterious.
Song Mier lifted the hem of her skirt, and the grass around the hot spring was filled with moisture, and she didn't want to go to the attic skirt as if she had washed it.
Close to the attic. Song Mier took a good look at the attic layout.
The attic is made of golden silk and sea yellow wood, and is painted with varnish to prevent the moisture of the hot springs and the invasion of snakes, insects, rats and ants. The whole attic has two floors, the lower floor has a wooden corridor that extends directly to the edge of the hot spring, the left is a staircase, and the right is a small kitchen covered by a curtain, and the kitchen utensils inside are faintly visible.
Song Mier didn't doubt Shen Zhan's cooking skills, even if he couldn't do anything else, he used to hunt outside or something, and he still knew how to bake things, not to mention that there were so many elusive secret guards around him, Lu Xun's kid inadvertently revealed that they were all good cooks, after all, they had been training to eat and sleep in the open since they were children, and they didn't have the cooking skills they knew, how could they live?
There was nothing to see on the first floor, and Song Mier lifted the skirt and went up to the second floor. When you turn the stairs, you will be greeted by a large field of splendid roses and begonias, which can only bloom so brilliantly this season when planted on the edge of this hot spring.
Shen Zhan is sullen, what kind of delicate flowers do you grow alone!
Song Mier chuckled, but he was really looking forward to it, wasn't this flower specially prepared for himself later?
She strode forward, through the sea of flowers, and in front of her were two huts side by side. The one on the right... Song Mier took a look outside, it seemed to be the bathroom that An Jin said introduced the hot spring water, it was smoky, facing a large open window, and the green pine flowers outside could be faintly seen.
Since there is a bathroom on the right, Shen Zhan must be waiting for him in the room on the left.
Song Mier opened the bead curtain, ho! It's so eye-catching! It's extravagant!
The four walls of this room were all made of polished ivory, covering the dull wood, and glowing white.
At the bottom of the wall, there was a circle of obsidian, black and white, and Song Mier felt that his eyes were about to flash blind.
When I looked up, the ceiling was glass, so I wasn't too frightening, but if it was night, I could see the stars when I looked up, which was a bit interesting.
Take a closer look at the tables and chairs, they are tyrannical! The table and chair were not made of wood, but jade!
How much manpower and material resources did it take, and how much high-grade white jade was consumed, to polish such a set of tables and chairs!
And such a set of tables and chairs are placed in this small attic that I don't know how long it will take, and the appearance is not at all inconspicuous!
Song Mier felt that his heart was about to be broken.
Shen Zhan was sitting on the white jade chair covered with tiger skin.
With a cup of tea in hand, he looked out the window, looking very literary and artistic.
But who knows, Shen Zhan is now very entangled in his heart.
He hadn't thought of asking Song Mier to come to this attic.
But he was just unhappy and walked around the attic, and he didn't know how to hear An Jin start to report the queen's "today's itinerary" again, and he originally wanted to stop him, but for some reason, the words became "Let the queen come to the attic to see me." ”
See what?!
I didn't think about what I was going to say to her?!
Say why don't you want Rou Guiji's child?
An emperor asked the empress why she didn't want a concubine's child to be her own.
Do you have to say that?
Why are you so dedicated to Rou Guiji?
Shouldn't the queen do her best for the concubines who are pregnant with dragon heirs? Is it possible to ignore or even frame the plot?
Shen Zhan seemed to be being repeatedly pulled by two voices, pulling and pulling him to the point of being upset. But he didn't know what he was worried about. Song Mier is a good queen and worries about the harem for herself, isn't that exactly what she wants? At first, Song Mier stumbled, and she kept testing her and teaching her, but now she seems to be just like her face and figure, she grew up overnight, and gradually became a good queen in her heart, but why is she so unhappy?
This kind of unhappiness started from that day when I learned that Rou Guiji was pregnant.
At the beginning, knowing that Rou Guiji was pregnant, Shen Zhan was naturally happy. It's been almost a year since he ascended the throne, and he needs a child to stabilize his foundation and silence the clamoring old ministers. Sure enough, the news that Rou Guiji was pregnant reached the previous dynasty, and the old ministers who were usually jumping around and saying that the emperor was still young were silent for a while. Even the dragon heir has it, and it's still a little fart!
That day, the queen promised in front of everyone that she would let Rou Guiji raise the dragon heir by herself in the future, and Shen Zhan also regarded her as a polite excuse, how could her own child be handed over to the queen to raise unexpectedly? Can those people really raise a good child?
But after more than a month, Shen Zhan gradually discovered that Song Mier really didn't want to raise this child. During Lu Xun, he also secretly sent a message saying that Rou Guiji was pregnant and made the queen unhappy?
What's there to be happy about?
Don't look at Shen Zhan's intrigue in the harem on weekdays, but the affairs of men and women are still in the exploration stage. understands the intrigues of the harem, that's because I have seen too much with the queen mother. But after the queen mother was hurt by the emperor, she looked down on some things, and didn't care whether other people's concubines had children or not, if the child was kind by nature, and the concubine was a duty, the queen mother would have the heart to take care of it, even if it was the son of the rival concubine, before she grew up to compete for the throne, the queen mother was able to talk and laugh.
Therefore, Shen Zhan didn't realize what this matter meant to a woman at all.
Fortunately, Song Mier has not yet opened his mind, otherwise he doesn't know how sad he is.
But Shen Zhan looked at it, if it was said that Song Mier was unhappy, but she had taken good care of Rou Guiji properly and thoughtfully for more than a month, but for some reason, Shen Zhan always felt that something was wrong in her heart. I always felt that Mi'er's reaction was different from the concubines of his father and emperor he had seen before, and it was different from what he thought.
