"Yes, sissy." The little eunuch in charge of the investigation said: "The little slave has been following Gonggong Liu to the Inner Government Bureau, and he came out after watching him go in and make a pillar of incense." When the little slave saw him go away, he entered the Inner Government Bureau and found a familiar eunuch and inquired, it turned out that Gonggong Liu went to the Inner Government Bureau because the emperor asked them to make a velvet pillow overnight. ”
"It must also be embroidered with the sentence 'A hundred flowers bow their heads and worship Fangchen'."
"Peony! Our mother is the most worthy of peony! Xuezhu said in surprise on the side: "This must be made by the emperor for Niangniang!" ”
Concubine Rong also had a smile on her face at this time, she gently straightened her sleeves and said, "Unconsciously, the night is so deep, it's a little cold." ”
Xuezhu hurriedly brought a purple Luan magpie brocade half-arm and put it on Concubine Rong: "Why should Niangniang be embarrassed? The emperor is so heartfelt, he specially asked the Inner Government Bureau to make a peony pillow, he must want to give you a surprise on the night of the cave room! ”
Concubine Rong pretended to be annoyed: "Dead girl, what nonsense, this is in the palace, no better than when you were in Lu Kingdom, you can't control your tongue, but you will be punished." ”
Xuezhu hurriedly lowered her head to apologize, but there was still a smile between her eyebrows.
Although it was the first day to live in Guhua Palace, and she was maliciously provoked by the queen during the day, the news of coming to the Inner Government Bureau late at night made Concubine Rong sleep well in this strange place.
After breakfast, Concubine Rong changed into a mud-gold skirt embroidered with pink peony dress, although it seemed that she was flipping through the piano score, but her eyes occasionally glanced at the palace gate.
Xuezhu walked in with a snow-eared bird's nest lotus seed soup and placed it on the kang table beside Concubine Rong. She stared at Concubine Rong for a while, and sneered: "Niangniang, it's just a peony pillow given by the emperor, at most it was sent by Gonggong Liu, and the emperor won't come over in person, Niangniang, is it necessary for you to dress so grandly?" ”
Concubine Rong glanced at Xuezhu with disgust: "You mouth, sooner or later you will suffer." If it weren't for the sake of you growing up with this palace, you would have to slap your mouth today! ”
Xuezhu was not afraid, and stood next to Concubine Rong with a smile and pulled her sleeves: "Although the slave maid has a fast mouth, she also knows the severity, and she only dares to chew her tongue in front of the mother." Out of this Guhua Palace, even if there is a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, the slave and maid will not say a word. ”
Concubine Rong picked the sweet soup in front of her twice with a silver spoon inlaid with red jade and red sandalwood, but she didn't have the desire to drink it at all. She gently pushed away the white jade gold inlaid gemstone bowl that was still steaming, and sighed a little wistfully.
Xuezhu watched from the sidelines, didn't dare to say another word, and gently retreated. When she arrived at the outer hall, she called Yu Ming, the eunuch in charge of Guhua Palace, over: "You are an old man in Hanyang Palace, and there are many eunuchs you know well." Concubine Rong didn't sleep well last night, all because the pillow on the bed was too hard. ”
"The little slave will immediately go to the Inner Government Bureau to choose one for Niangniang." Yuming looked like he was about twenty, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and after listening to Xuezhu's words, he turned around and was about to go out.
"What are you anxious about!" Xuezhu grabbed him: "I haven't finished my words yet!" Concubine Rong just entered the palace yesterday, and she is not familiar with it in various places. If you go recklessly like this, I'm afraid that people will think that your mother is picky and difficult to get along with. ”
Yuming thought about it for a while, so he said: "Then I will go to the Inner Government Bureau to inquire with people I know well, and if there is a ready-made velvet pillow, I will bring one to Niangniang." ”
"It's not all good, it's better to have a peony pattern. However, don't be in a hurry to get it back, you have to ask if it's specifically for which palace lady, we can't take it wrong, do you understand? Xuezhu pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice.
When Yu Ming saw that Concubine Rong's personal maid had such a nervous expression, he thought that Niangniang must have attached great importance to this matter, so he cheered up his spirit and was determined to do this errand well, so as to grab the first credit in front of Concubine Rong.
Yuming had been gone for more than an hour, and he didn't come back until noon. He brought back a sandalwood box with a velvet pillow embroidered with a blue satin embroidered jade hibiscus.
"Niangniang, I heard that you didn't sleep well last night, and Miss Xuezhu specially asked the little slave to get a soft and fragrant velvet pillow for you from the Inner Government Bureau." Yuming stood in front of Concubine Rong and said with a spring breeze on his face.
"You really know how to do things, and if you work so hard, you're just afraid of making people criticized." Concubine Rong glanced at the box opened in Yuming's hand: "However, how is it a hibiscus pattern?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, the little slave went to the Inner Government Bureau very cleverly, and he didn't look for the father-in-law in charge, but just found a eunuch who was familiar with him and asked about the velvet pillow. He said that last night there was an order to make a peony-patterned pillow overnight, but it was taken away by Gonggong Liu of Changxin Palace this morning. ”
"There happened to be a few velvet pillows made last month in the warehouse, and the little slave picked one with the most exquisite workmanship and brought it back to the mother." After Yuming said this, he looked at Concubine Rong with a smug expression.
Concubine Rong took a deep breath, she understood that since Liu Fuquan had taken the peony pillow from the Inner Government Bureau, if it was to be sent to Guhua Palace, it would have been sent a long time ago. There is no news now, but it can only mean one thing, the owner of this peony pillow has someone else.
"You are doing a good job, go to the account office and receive the reward." Concubine Rong's expression was very calm, and her tone still had a soft smile.
When Yuming heard Concubine Rong's tone so kind, it must be because she did a good job, she was immediately encouraged, and her face smiled like a sunflower: "Little slave Xie Concubine Rong, the little slave will do his best in the future, and he will never give up!" ”
Xuezhu saw him so verbose, and said impatiently: "What is not dead, how can there be such a thing when you are on an errand by Concubine Rong's side, can you speak?" ”
Yuming knew that he was speechless, and bowed his head and retreated.
When only Concubine Rong and Xuezhu were left in the hall, Xuezhu cautiously asked, "Niangniang, do you want the slave maid to send someone to inquire again and see where Liu Fuquan went this morning?" ”
"No need." Concubine Rong picked up the piano sheet again with a light face, "This palace already knows." ”
"Got it?" Xuezhu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Where else can the emperor never forget? Apart from her, who has ever been a pet in Hanyang Palace? When Concubine Rong said this, her tone was extremely light, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
Xuezhu lowered her head and thought for a while, and her expression became solemn: "Niangniang, you mean...... However, before entering Beijing, didn't the news from the palace say that the emperor had lost interest in the concubine Niangniang and ignored the Qiao Palace at all? Occasionally sending a pillow is not a generous reward, and it can't show the emperor's attitude, right? ”
"I'm not afraid of a big reward, this kind of casual little thing is the most important, which is what Bengong didn't expect before." Concubine Rong replied without raising her eyelids, and her tone was full of confidence.
