54. Utilization
Lu Yunyi looked at Zhu Di's back farther and farther away, with a faint infatuation, I looked at her appearance, and suddenly felt some sympathy, but I quickly suppressed this little sympathy. No one deserves sympathy, and I don't have the strength to sympathize with others in my situation.
Lu Yunyi's little delusion had already been taken back, she gently stroked the crescent moon in my arms, and said softly, "I'm already asleep, Niangniang doesn't have to worry anymore, you can rest for a while, I'll leave first." ”
I glanced at her and said intentionally and unintentionally, "Why, as soon as the emperor leaves, you can't sit still?" ”
Lu Yunyi's face was flushed with shame, and he hurriedly stood up and lowered his hands, "Guifei Niangniang Mingjian, Yunyi really just wanted to come to be a companion to the mother and see the little princess, but she happened to meet the emperor...... Yunyi can't dodge ......"
"Okay, okay, look at your urgency, you and I are both concubines, the emperor is our common husband, they are all the same sisters, the queen of the main palace is still tolerant, where am I so hateful? It's just a joke for you, and I'm in a hurry. It seems that I still saw the emperor and was excited. I pursed my lips and laughed.
Lu Yunyi was already fair and tender, and at this time she was blushing more and more, she was a little embarrassed and a little anxious and said, "Niangniang must not make fun of Yunyi." ”
I smiled slightly and shook my head, "Look at you, it's been almost a year since you were named Jieyu, and you are still so ashamed, and you are still thin-skinned like a girl who has not left the cabinet, so how can you talk and make fun of the concubines next to you in the palace?" ”
"Yunyi never jokes with other girls...... No, it's other ladies who never joke with Yunyi, only the queen treats me kindly, but you are still the most kind concubine, there is no mother's frame at all, like a sister. Lu Yunyi sat on the small couch at the head of the bed, his eyes were as gentle as water, and the whole person was also soft and weak, and the whole person was even a little light, as if it was a little transparent, with a childish attitude. She has never been favored by Zhu Di, nor can she talk about glory and wealth, she is just a senior maid in Kunning Palace with the name of Jieyu, so she never pursues luxury and luxury like other concubines, and always focuses on plainness, looking like this, she really looks like a small jasper. If Zhu Di hadn't been disgusted with her because of Xu Yunhua first, he was afraid that he wouldn't mind having another favorite concubine like this.
In the harem, maybe you really have to form a gang to have more protection and protection? A woman like Lu Yunyi has a lot of thoughts, but her appearance is weak, as long as she uses it well, she is actually a sharp blade.
Lu Yunyi sat for a while, and when he saw that I was wilting, he got up, "Niangniang's spirit is very poor, Yunyi should go back, come to see Niangniang tomorrow, you rest for a while, and then talk about it, the little princess has nurses and maids, don't worry too much." ”
I nodded and smiled in agreement. Lu Yunyi walked a few steps, slowly stopped, and finally turned around and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, there should be a small kitchen in this palace." ”
I heard her say this, and I was a little shaken, "What? ”
Lu Yunyi said the last sentence, as if he had exhausted all his strength, seeing me asking, he looked around, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Since there is a small kitchen in the palace, don't be too troublesome, eat in your own palace." So saying, he blessed his body and walked out.
I sat up from the bed and called, "Bao'er! Boa! ”
Bao'er listened to my call in a hurry, and hurriedly walked in, "What do you have to say?" ”
The crescent moon was slightly throbbing on the side, and I quickly patted her and said in a low voice, "How are our usual meals arranged?" ”
Bao'er thought for a while and replied, "Niangniang's diet is basically made in her own small kitchen, and every time the emperor comes, it is also a small kitchen, but as long as there are good dishes in the big kitchen of the official school, some will also be honored and come in." However, Niangniang instructed that Lianyi Palace should not be too extravagant, and if you can be with the officials, you should not open a small stove, because the food of the slaves and maids below us is from the big kitchen. ”
"What about the nurse's daily diet?"
Bao'er said with a smile, "Niangniang is the first person to add a princess to the emperor over the years, the queen mother takes special care, and the nurse's food should be as good as possible to ensure the princess's milk, so the nurse's food is personally selected and sent over after the palace maid in charge of the queen's palace asks every day." The emperor also said that the queen mother bothered about this matter. ”
I grabbed the silk futon and sunk my nails in, panting for a long time. Bao'er saw that I was strange, and said suspiciously, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”
"In the future, you will personally manage the food of the nurse, and no one is allowed to interfere. The dishes sent by the queen's palace are still accepted, but don't eat them. I frowned and said word by word.
Bao'er's face changed drastically, "Is there a problem with those dishes?" ”
"Just pay attention." I replied wearily.
The crescent moon just woke up and began to cry, and the nurse also came in, so Bao'er didn't ask anything anymore. After a few days, the crescent moon's low-grade fever all subsided, and Bao'er told me privately that she took all the dishes sent by Xu Yunhua to the doctor for examination, and the doctor didn't say anything wrong, but said that they were all very good dishes, but Bao'er quietly asked again, can these dishes be eaten by breastfeeding women? The doctor shook his head again and again, saying that these dishes are matched together, if the breastfeeding woman eats it, the adult has nothing, but it has a great impact on the milk, the ingredients in the lotion have changed, which will make the baby's stomach and intestines unable to accept it, and there will be fever or vomiting at the beginning.
When I heard this, I almost gritted my teeth with hatred, and Bao'er patted me on the shoulder, "Niangniang, you can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend others, we have always only thought about protecting ourselves...... Under the pampering, there are people in Lianyi Palace who are always thinking about and hating, let's ......"
"We are already in a whirlpool, and if we don't try to stick our heads out, we will be pulled into the water and drowned." I said a little weakly.
"But if you want to climb out of the whirlpool, you may have to step on someone else."
"It's better than being dragged down." I looked at the crescent moon that didn't forget to smack her lips in her sleep, and said to Bao'er with an expressionless face, "You go and invite Lu Jieyu here." ”
Bao'er looked at me a little puzzled, "The emperor sent Li Xinglai to say hello, saying that he was going to come to Lianyi Palace for lunch at noon. ”
I smiled and said, "It's just going to be a bump." ”
Bao'er frowned and hesitated for a long time, "But...... Lu Jieyu is a person in the queen's palace. ”
I glanced at Bao'er, "What did the queen give her besides winning her the title of Jieyu who brought her infinite humiliation?" I think if you ask her now whether she would like to continue to be a palace maid or be the current Jieyu, she will definitely tell you that she wants to be a palace maid more. ”
Bao'er was stunned, "...... you"
"The queen has four princes and three princesses, and she is the biological mother of the prince, even if she makes a big mistake, the emperor will not treat her well." I said helplessly, "I don't want to bring her down, I can't bring her down, I just want to have someone by her side who can hold her hostage, even if it is better to give me a message, the crescent moon is too small, and my strength alone can't protect her at all." ”
Bao'er looked a little sad on her face, and finally said, "You said everything well, but ...... The emperor's favor and heart to you, after all, is sincere, if you give this favor to others like this, not only will you suffer yourself, but also live up to the emperor's pure heart. ”
I burst into tears, "If I had been thinking so much before?" But how hard it was for me to have a crescent moon, others don't know, you know everything, if something happens to her, I can't live alone. ”
Bao'er also moistened her eyes, "That's it, in fact, Lu Yunyi, as Jieyu, even if the emperor has not favored her now, sooner or later the queen will personally send her to the dragon bed, why don't we be this good person and let her remember this kindness." ”
I shook Bao'er's hand, "Only you can understand my heart." ”
Not long after Lu Yunyi came, Zhu Di also arrived, and when he saw Lu Yunyi here, he was a little unhappy, "Didn't you tell Li Xing to come and greet you, why did you still have people?" ”
I smiled and pulled Lu Yunyi to salute together, "In the days when Yue'er and I were sick, Yunyi came to take care of her every day, I promised her early in the morning, when I got better, I must invite her to eat a decent meal, it is better to pick up the day than to hit the sun, it is the best today, who would have thought that you would come to join in the fun again, no, it just makes a table." ”
Zhu Di has already sat down, and I will sit down with him. Lu Yunyi was a little timid when she saw Zhu Di, and she didn't dare to sit down, like an ordinary palace maid on the side, she served food and served food, everything was busy, she was still standing, and she just smiled and smiled when I called her to sit.
I smiled and said to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, look at you, Yun Yi is restrained here, I don't care, if she doesn't sit down, I won't be able to eat this mouthful." ”
Zhu Di smiled at Lu Yunyi, "The noble concubine seems to be quite in love with you, since you often come and go, you don't have to be polite, let's sit down and eat together." ”
Lu Yunyi listened to Zhu Di's order, and didn't dare to disobey, and sat down beside me with a twist, still looking angry, neither daring to stretch out chopsticks to pick up vegetables, nor dare to eat, and was very embarrassed.
I scooped a bowl of vegetarian soup for her, "Don't be restrained. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to me, that is, just have an extra pair of chopsticks. ”
Lu Yunyi looked at me a little timidly, and then looked at Zhu Di cautiously, seeing that Zhu Di was also smiling, he finally slowly let down his guard and nodded shyly. <
