Chapter 60: The Thorny Rose
Li Anyue went all the way back to Chuxiu Palace, but found that there were some ordinary palace maids walking back and forth in the palace, without a familiar face, not even the millennium. I finally grabbed a little palace maid and inquired only to learn that all the servants went to the palace to which they were assigned early this morning, and the aunts also went to take care of the new nobles. The little palace maid saw that Li Anyue was about to leave with a lost face, so she reminded her to go to the notice list to see the specific places where the waiters were assigned.
"Nobleman...... 1st place, 2nd place...... Third place: Yuwen Jiaojiao...... No. 7: Shen Yueyin...... There is no Ke'er......" Li Anyue first searched for Ke'er's name from beginning to end in the noble list, and then looked at the palace maid list on the other side, Qin Yiyuan...... Scholar Garden...... Over here! ”
"Chen Ke'er, Yongle Palace...... Where is Yongle Palace? Li Anyue looked at other people, and found that most of them were assigned to palaces that they had never heard of, and they didn't know where Ke'er went, and whether the master was good or not? Li Anyue hesitated for a while, and decided to go back and ask Luzhu and them, and then look for it when she has time.
"Li Anyue!" Li Anyue, who was just about to go back to Changchun Palace, was suddenly shouted by Yuwen Jiaojiao behind her, it turned out that when Li Anyue looked at the notice list, Yuwen Jiaojiao just went back to Chuxiu Palace to take off her shoes.
Today's Yuwen Jiaojiao has changed out of the pink palace dress of the past, and with a bright orange embroidered skirt, the whole person looks very eye-catching.
When Li Anyue saw the familiar face, she was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to greet her, but Yuwen Jiaojiao's next sentence made her hand stop in mid-air, "From now on, I will be your master, shouldn't I kneel down and salute when I see it?" ”
Although Li Anyue's heart was full of disgust, she didn't look like she was joking, so she curtsy to her, "Slave and maid see ......"
"Noble man." Yuwen Jiaojiao clasped her hands and gently picked up three words.
"Slaves and maids see the nobles."
Yuwen Jiaojiao smiled with satisfaction, stretched out a jade hand to her and hooked it, "Get up." ”
"Thank you."
"The master is in a good mood today, let's take you to Yonghua Palace for a walk." In the palace, only the queen or the person who was named a concubine could call himself the main palace, and the nobles called themselves the lord.
"Where is Yonghua Palace?"
"Yonghua Palace is where the newly sealed nobles live, but after I am made a concubine, I can move out to the new palace." Yuwen Jiaojiao once again disgusted Li Anyue's "loneliness" with her eyes.
Li Anyue pretended not to see it, and continued to ask, "Will Ke'er also go over there?" ”
"Chen Ke'er has not become a nobleman, so naturally he can't go to Yonghua Palace, and generally those who have become palace maids will be assigned to the concubine's palace. The maids who serve the nobility are usually other maids in the palace. ”
"So, do you know where the Yongle Hall is?"
"Yongle Palace? Yongle Hall is a palace in Yonghua Palace. Don't you know where Yonghua Palace is, how did you come instead?
Li Anyue looked at her confusedly, "Ke'er seems to have been assigned to the Yongle Palace, but does it mean that as the palace maid, the maid will not go to the Yonghua Palace?" ”
Yuwen Jiaojiao couldn't figure it out for a while, "Yongle Palace...... Yongle Hall ...... Falling geese? ”
Li Anyue heard her suddenly call out the name of the wild goose, and looked around, "Is the wild goose coming?" Where is it? ”
Yuwen Jiaojiao disliked her and would never be stingy with her white eyes, "I mean that Yongle Hall is where Luoyan lives, is there a special treatment if you win the first place?" But it's not right, if you give preferential treatment, you shouldn't be served by a more senior palace maid, right......" Yuwen Jiaojiao was thinking about the reason for this, and suddenly her eyes lit up and turned to ask her, "Does Luo Yan know Chen Ke'er?" ”
"Well, I don't know each other, and I haven't heard Ke'er talk about it."
"That's a little weird."
Li Anyue thought about it and felt that it was more reliable to ask the person concerned, "Let's go to Yonghua Palace to have a look, maybe we can see Ke'er, ask her." ”
Chuxiu Palace is located in the direction of the north gate of the palace, and Yonghua Palace is in the northeast direction of the palace, so the two of them decided to walk around the palace wall outside, and then go around the small gate to enter. So the two of them walked on the palace road that seemed endless, the palace road was remote, except for a few eunuchs and palace maids passing by occasionally, basically most of the time they could only see Yuwen Jiaojiao and Li Anyue.
"Hey, are you sure it's the right thing to do?" Li Anyue leaned against the wall and avoided the sun.
Yuwen Jiaojiao was also so hot that she wiped her sweat, and looked back and forth with a handkerchief blocking the sun, "It should be almost there, I heard them say that they just walked through the eleven small doors and walked out, there should be nothing wrong." ”
Li Anyue almost didn't stand firm when she heard this, "I heard? Haven't you walked it? ”
Yuwen Jiaojiao smiled awkwardly, her already somewhat crimson face turned even redder at this time, I don't know if it was sunburned, "I just followed everyone on another path this morning, they said it was closer to this side, so they wanted to try it......"
At this time, the sweat on Li Anyue's forehead dripped down her cheeks, because it was too hot, "Let's sit down for a while, and wait for someone to come and ask." ”
After finishing speaking, she sat cross-legged on the ground, Yuwen Jiaojiao couldn't help it, and she couldn't sit on the ground like her regardless of her image, so she could only stand next to her and walk back and forth, Li Anyue looked annoyed, so she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Listening to Yuwen Jiaojiao's footsteps walking back and forth, Li Anyue actually felt that she was really asleep for a moment. After staying like this for I don't know how long, Li Anyue looked at the palace road in front of him with half-squinted eyes.
"Jiaojiao, do you think I'm suffering from heat stroke?" Looking at Li Anyue, her eyes were a little dull and beckoned to Yuwen Jiaojiao.
"Heat stroke?"
"Well, it seems...... There was a hallucination...... "There is a bright red in front of Li Anyue's eyes, which is approaching little by little, and at the end of the palace road, it is about to merge with the palace wall.
Yuwen Jiaojiao followed her gaze, and with surprise in her eyes, she pulled Li Anyue up and ran towards the red shadow, "Quick, it's my sister!" ”
Li Anyue was taken and ran a few steps before she could see clearly that the red shadow was just a woman wearing a red embroidered gold peony pattern brocade dress, the woman's complexion was extremely white, and her hair color was extremely black, even from a distance, she looked a little enchanting even under the blue sky and white sun.
"Sister!" When she was still a few steps away from the woman, Yuwen Jiaojiao let Li Anyue run over and affectionately held the hand of the woman in red, she was Yuwen Jiaojiao's sister Yu Wenyun.
At this time, Li Anyue saw her face clearly, a small red mouth was very eye-catching on her slightly pale face, and a pair of bewitching Danfeng eyes were outlined a little bewitching. Compared with Yuwen Jiaojiao's intimacy, Yuwen Yun's attitude was very cold and unfamiliar, and even the tone of his voice was flat and cold, "Why don't you stay in Yonghua Palace, what are you doing here?" ”
Yuwen Jiaojiao was also a little embarrassed, glanced at Li Anyue, and the hand she was holding slid down, "I'll go back to Chuxiu Palace to get the things that have fallen." ”
Yu Wenyun followed her gaze to Li Anyue, and walked towards Li Anyue with lotus steps, and the Chiba gold peony on her hair bun swayed and made a metallic crashing sound. Li Anyue didn't know who the woman in front of her was, but she looked like a person with a very high status, but Li Anyue didn't know how to salute her, and when she saw her coming over, she hurriedly lowered her eyebrows.
"Which palace maid is this? So unruly? A pair of red brocade shoes stopped in front of her eyes, and Yu Wenyun's voice was cold but not harsh, but it was also pleasant.
Seeing this, Yuwen Jiaojiao hurriedly came over to play a round game, "Sister, don't be angry, she is the new palace maid, and she doesn't know her sister very well." Li Anyue, don't hurry up and give a salute to the second princess! ”
When Li Anyue heard this, she quickly knelt down and saluted, "The slave and maid see the second imperial concubine, please forgive the second imperial concubine." ”
Yu Wenyun didn't speak, but bent down, stretched out his white fingers and pinched Li Anyue's chin, "Are you Li Anyue?" Li Anyue of Chuxiu Palace? ”
Li Anyue was forced to look at her, muttering in her heart when she became so famous, even such a cold imperial concubine knew her name, "Yes, it's the slave." ”
Yu Wenyun's hand pinching her chin gradually increased, Li Anyue frowned, and the urge to slap her with one hand was gone, and the more beautiful the flower, the more dangerous it was. Yuwen Yun didn't react to Li Anyue's objection, still looking at her face carefully, and even Yuwen Jiaojiao was standing aside a little overwhelmed.
At the end, Yuwen Yun's eyes rolled, his lips showed a sneer, and he let go of the hand that was clamping Li Anyue's chin, "Heh, it's really just a lowly slave!" ”
This unexpected flick made Li Anyue almost fall to the ground, but fortunately he supported himself to the ground with his hands in time, but at the cost of the palm being worn out of the skin and oozing blood.
"Sister......" Yuwen Jiaojiao was also so frightened that she wanted to go up to the wall and pull Li Anyue up, but was stopped by Yuwenyun.
"Stop! Remember, you are the emperor's concubine, she is just a lowly slave, what qualifications do you have to make friends with you! If this kind of shameless slave maid arrives in the palace, she will not let her defile the door of the palace! ”
Li Anyue originally came to see her with an attitude of appreciating beauty, but Yu Wenyun's successive insults to her made her feel inexplicable, and she looked at her at the moment and asked, "The slave maid offended the second imperial concubine somewhere, please let the second imperial concubine say it clearly, why did the slave and maid become a shameless person?" ”
"Heh, don't you know? This palace should know very well to see you! Yu Wenyun laughed as if he had heard a funny joke, but the smile was very blinding.
"Please make it clear to the second princess."
Yu Wenyun smiled and stared at her condescendingly, "It's really funny, I've never seen such a cheeky person as you in this palace so far." ”
Li Anyue lowered her head and scolded silently, that is natural, two layers of face are here.
"You let Bengong say it clearly, and Bengong still feels ashamed. But if you want to listen, this palace will tell you. ”
Li Anyue remembered a line in the Qing Palace drama, "A slut is hypocrisy." "It's a good fit for the current situation.
