Chapter Seventy-Six: May I Be Like the Stars and the Moon
Lu Yang said this, but saw Bai Zhi hurriedly stopped: "Don't defend me, it's because I'm greedy and there is nothing else." ”
Zhaoyun pondered for a moment, expecting that there must be a hidden secret, and said to Lu Yang in a slow tone: "Lu Yang, you go on, if there is really a last resort, this matter still needs to be discussed, if you are making up excuses to defend Bai Zhi, then you don't have to be an errand with me in the future." ”
Seeing Zhaoyun say this, Lu Yang was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and was about to speak, but saw Bai Zhi's teary eyes and said sadly: "Don't say it, don't say it." He turned his head to look at Zhaoyun again, and cried: "Don't ask, little master, the slave is willing to bear all the punishments." ”
Seeing this, Zhaoyun even determined that Bai Zhi had something unspeakable, his tone was a little heavier, and said to Lu Yang: "Lu Yang, don't you say it yet, do you want to watch Bai Zhi take on a charge of stealing?" ”
Lu Yang Zhengse said: "Sister Bai Zhi was brave enough to take the little master's glass bead hairpin for the sake of saving people." Then Lu Yang told the reason for the incident.
It turned out that Bai Zhi had a township and was a eunuch of the Inner Court Bureau, called Xiaochuanzi. Because of the friendship between the two townsmen, and Xiao Chuanzi had helped Bai Zhi earlier, Bai Zhi had a lot of friendship with him. Now, Xiao Chuanzi is seriously ill and his life is dying, the imperial doctor naturally does not take the life of a little eunuch to heart, Bai Zhi exchanged the silver bead hairpin on his head and the crystal jade bracelet on his wrist into silver coins, and went to the imperial hospital in person to make a point, and the imperial doctor hastily prescribed two medicines. But after taking it, although Xiao Chuanzi's condition has improved, but it has not yet recovered, and Lu Yang accidentally learned about it, and also lent the monthly money that he had accumulated for a long time to Angelica Angelica, but it was only a drop in the bucket. Bai Zhi really couldn't, and didn't dare to let others know, seeing Xiao Chuanzi's condition repeatedly, in a hurry, his mind was not clear, so he privately took Zhaoyun Zhuchai to exchange for silver money, and then he got a few packs of herbs from the imperial doctor, and Xiao Chuanzi's condition stabilized.
Zhaoyun listened to such a story, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The heart of the doctor's parents, these imperial doctors are too much, how much money the imperial court gives them a year, they are not satisfied, they actually fill their private pockets, otherwise they will die and not be saved, it is really a doctor in vain." After a pause, he said to Bai Zhi with a soothing face: "It was also my negligence, I found that the jewelry you were wearing was missing in the morning, and I didn't even think deeply." It's just the same, since there is such a thing, you should return to me as soon as possible, I will go to the imperial hospital to talk, wouldn't it be more effective than you selling hairpins to change medicines, and your fellow villager can also recover as soon as possible. ”
When Bai Zhi heard this, she was moved, kowtowed, and said: "Thank you for the little master's mercy, it's just that the palace maid and the eunuch have given and accepted each other privately, violating the palace rules, and the slave and maid are just one person, Xiao Chuanzi is still sick, if it affects him again, the slave and the maid are uneasy, so they dare not show it to the little master, and ask the little master to forgive me." ”
Zhaoyun said gently: "I blamed you for my mistake, tomorrow I will go to the imperial hospital to talk about it, I think that your fellow countryman will recover quickly." You don't have to blame yourself, if someone suspects you of giving and receiving privately, you just say that it is my mouth, and they don't dare to say anything more, besides, they are all slaves and maids in the palace, fellow villagers are in trouble, and it is human nature to help them, you have such a mind, it is also rare, I will not only not punish you, but also reward you. ”
Speaking of this, Zhaoyun picked out an agate and silver hairpin from the table, pinned it in Bai Zhi's hair, and said with a gentle smile: "Since you are a person in my palace, you can't lose your dignity when you come and go, so let's dress up carefully." He picked up a clear crystal jade bracelet from the table and gave it to Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi kowtowed and thanked him. Zhaoyun saw that Lu Yang was still kneeling on the ground, so he hurriedly asked the two of them to get up, walked to the dresser and turned out a sachet, took out a few broken silver taels from it, and smiled gently at the two: "I have some broken silver taels here, you have entered the palace to serve hard, and you have finally saved some monthly money, and you can't just lose it in vain, you can take these few broken silver, one can take care of the whole family, and the other is to stay in the palace later, and you can also take care of yourself." ”
Both of them were grateful, and both said: "The little master is so good to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid have nothing to repay, so they can only serve the little master with all their hearts, so as to repay the great kindness of the little master." ”
After the two of them retreated, Zhaoyun couldn't help but sigh, the hairpin inlaid with broken jade snow was originally given to her by Zixuan, although it was not very valuable, in the end it was also Zixuan's heart, Zhaoyun couldn't give it up when he entered the palace, so he brought it in, and pressed it on the bottom of the makeup, which was also a thought. Now that he encountered such a thing, Zhaoyun couldn't help but sigh to himself in his heart: Maybe it's God's will, but if such a thing happens at this time, maybe it's better if the pearl hairpin is gone, and it can also make me understand that since I have entered the palace, the front edge is difficult to continue, and it is time to cut off these thoughts.
If a few days passed, Zhaoyun was always cowardly, and people were much lazy. Finally, one day, Zhaoyun saw the faint moonlight outside, thinking that he couldn't live with such a sad face anymore, so he planned to go out for a walk alone to soothe the knots in his heart. Because Bai Zhi went to visit Xiaochuanzi, Luyang Zijuan asked to follow, Zhaoyun strictly ordered them not to follow, Luyang Zijuan's status was lower than Bai Zhi's, and he didn't dare to disobey Zhaoyun, so he only asked Zhaoyun to be careful and come back early.
A path to go, unconsciously, Zhaoyun actually walked to the Chuifang Garden, Chuifang Garden in the southwest of the Yujing Garden, is a small garden separated, different from the Yujing Garden, the Chuifang Garden is specially planted with some beautiful flowers, and the color is mainly light color. Zhaoyun carefully appreciated it for a while, and saw that the flowers such as lilies, incense, and smiling were in full bloom, which touched his heart even more, and sighed leisurely: "The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year." If it was last year, this flower would have bloomed at the right time. It's a pity that it's hard to see each other again, lily, there is no one who has been together for a hundred years, and it is naturally difficult to make incense, and how can I really smile, now it seems that this flower is very eye-catching. ”
Thinking of this, Zhaoyun actually had tears in his eyes, and he still couldn't let go of it after all. Seeing the moon looming in the sky, and the stars were dim and lightless, he couldn't help blurting out: "May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night and night streamers will be bright." ”
Before he could say a word, he suddenly heard a few high-fives behind him, and a clear male voice sounded, "Jieyu is so interested." Zhaoyun was startled, and hurriedly looked back, only to see Murong Yuhan looking at him with a smile. Zhaoyun was anxious for a while, and he didn't know how much of his words were heard by Murong Yuhan, and he didn't think much about it in a hurry, so he only made a flat salute to Murong Yuhan, and said lightly: "I have seen the three princes, I am really destined for the three princes, and I can actually meet them when I come to watch the flowers at night." ”
Murong Yuhan smiled faintly and asked jokingly: "The poem that Jieyu just chanted is talking about me, if I am like the moon, can Jieyu be like a star?" ”
Zhaoyun was clearly a little teasing when he heard this, and he couldn't help but show displeasure on his face, and said: "I am the emperor's concubine, so naturally I only have the emperor in my heart, and there is no one else, and I ask the three princes to respect themselves." Wouldn't it be worrying if this was accidentally eavesdropped and miscommunicated? ”
Murong Yuhan sighed disappreciatively, and chuckled at Zhaoyun again: "Then is Jieyu worried about me, or is she worried about Jieyu herself?" ”
Zhaoyun became more and more embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a sinking face: "Third prince, I am just a deep palace woman, so naturally I am free. Since the third prince is a prince, he should devote himself to practicing literature and martial arts, and share his worries for the emperor, how can he not do his job and wander around in this deep palace. Speaking of this, Zhaoyun didn't wait for the third prince to answer, and turned around to leave.
I saw Murong Yuhan step forward and stopped: "Jieyu is slow, thank you Jieyu for teaching, it's just that I don't know something, Jieyu is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, how can she not even do the 'Five Constants'?" ”
Zhaoyun didn't know what he meant, and asked, "What does the third prince mean by this?" ”
Murong Yuhan looked at Zhaoyun and said: "Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are the virtues that a gentleman must cultivate, since Jieyu agreed to my request, why did she break her word?" ”
Zhaoyun then remembered that on the day he first entered the palace, after appreciating "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" with the three princes, the three princes had asked him to paint a Danqing and give it to him. I don't want today, the third prince actually used this to refute himself. Zhaoyun was speechless for a while.
