Chapter 204: It's Not Too Late to Take It Again
Although I have only seen it once or twice from afar, this person who came out of the bamboo forest with a bit of laziness is like a fairy in a painting!
In the entire palace, Mingzhu has never seen such a good-looking person.
From the selection of the national capital Yamen to the first arrival in the palace, Mingzhu has seen many handsome people along the way, there is no shortage of palace attendants, as well as those palace beauties who have a low sense of zΓ i.
She was stunned for a moment, and immediately overlapped the person in front of her with the impression in those fragments in her memory.
In the realm of the Lin De Palace, who else can there be besides the emperor?!
She was so flustered that she forgot all about proper etiquette.
You know, those etiquettes have been trained countless times beforehand.
He Yanzhi walked closer, stopped in front of Mingzhu, frowned at her and said, "You get up and speak." β
Mingzhu didn't dare to raise his head to meet He Yanzhi's deep eyes all of a sudden, but dared to stand up and hang his head.
He Yanzhi saw that she was cramped and nervous, and he no longer insisted.
Mingzhu wondered how to talk to him, and the hand hanging down at her side clenched into a fist for a moment.
She was hesitating here, which made He Yanzhi, who had waited for a long time not see her reaction, a little interested.
He captured memories of the past in his mind, as if the girl's face was familiar because he had seen it several times from afar.
He was impressed by most of the people in Lin De Palace.
A few years have passed, and the people who were in the palace at that time have gone away, and the missing ones have disappeared, and it is difficult for him to completely figure out these new blood who has entered the palace not long ago.
From this point of view, the ex, who must have been locked up, knows the personality of this group better. Good at even the advantages and disadvantages.
If it weren't for the fact that person was too stubborn, He Yanzhi would really be willing to use some means to control him to make him use what he should be, but unfortunately that person didn't know what to do at all.
He Yanzhi was originally in Huairou Zheng. After the strategy, he finally lost his patience.
He Yanzhi's thoughts were withdrawn, and he was in a trance.
In He Yanzhi's intelligence, the focus is on the manpower that will affect the entire layout of the palace, and it is really a new palace maid
Now that he had met, it was still such an abrupt scene, and he remembered that he had ordered the attendants on duty before. The courtyard where he lived in Lin Dedian was almost cleared.
From the moment she woke up, the group of people who were firmly stationed downstairs were also transferred to other things.
Under this premise. How could there be a little palace maid wandering outside the courtyard without knowing what to do, didn't she have anything to do?
A hint of displeasure flashed in He Yanzhi's eyes, but he also looked at her in his eyes, and now he saw that she was about to let her leave. Suddenly. The words left by the uninvited guest Xiao Si when he came flashed in his mind again.
Could it be that the girl in front of me is
"When did you enter the palace?" He Yanzhi asked in a low voice.
When the Hanging Flower Gate first heard He Yanzhi speak, Xiao Mingzhu was too impressed by that gentle voice, but at first glance, the tone was very different from that time.
Mingzhu is naΓ―ve and a little confused, but when it comes to the things and people she cares about, she will be a little more sensitive.
He Yanzhi saw her bow her head and was silent. Caring about the relationship that Xiao Si had said, he said in a soft tone: "Are you here to listen to the news?" β
Little Pearl finally came back to her senses. Hurriedly said: "Yes, Huang Guijun, Sister Xiaoling, who lives in it, entered the palace in the same batch, and she was so worried that she heard that she hadn't woken up and wanted to ask for news, but she didn't see anyone else waiting until now, only you, you came out." β
Mingzhu couldn't speak, she stammered, and she sounded like she was slapping her face.
Much like the girl's reaction when she first returned to Lin De Palace, He Yanzhi's face was a little more relaxed.
Mingzhu roughly explained the cause and effect, mentioned the matter of winter clothes, and specially pulled the cotton clothes he was wearing, as if to prove the authenticity of his own words!
She seemed to be afraid that he would doubt, that he would not believe every word she said!
He Yanzhi naturally did not suspect that his realm, and the other party's reaction was mostly similar to what Xiao Si said.
It seems that the girl's popularity is indeed good, from last night to now, at least there are people who have been waiting for news outside, and even the people in Lin Dedian are worried about her, and they are replaced by themselves
He Yanzhi thought for a while, and said to Xiao Mingzhu: "She needs someone to take care of her for the time being, if you are willing"
What was left behind was a palace maid in the Lin De Palace, who had been in the palace for two years, and it was said that she had a taciturn personality, and she was also recommended by the steward of the Lin De Palace.
Only He Yanzhi felt that with Xiaoling's personality, it might be better to get along with such a person than to talk to her.
It would have been fine if she hadn't woken up if she was still unconscious, but now that she was awake, since the girl missed her very much, she did a favor. "You come with me." He Yanzhi threw down a sentence before turning around, and the heartbeat little pearl hurriedly followed
Baoshan walked all the way along the bridge to the courtyard of Penglai Pavilion, the night was getting dark, and several craftsmen and masters were taken to eat, only Qingzhi and Mo Yan were sitting in the courtyard talking.
Qing Zhi sat on the stone bench, looking a little sad, Shicai Moyan told her all the good news, but she couldn't be happy.
The drawings proposed by His Majesty to rebuild the flower garden had too many things to be added to it, and many rooms had to be built for the house alone, and even the greenhouse had to be expanded.
Qingzhi didn't know that at this time, the war in the north was imminent, and it would start soon, why did the empress plan to do this, or Mo Yan explained to her that she was confused.
"This fire burned in the realm of Penglai Pavilion, in the past, His Majesty always sent things to our building, but my sister also knows the temper of the son."
Mo Yan said this, paused to look at Qing Zhi, saw her bow her head and thought about it, then looked at him and asked, "You mean, Your Majesty XiΓ rebuilt our flower garden is also to please the national teacher, oh, no, there is something wrong with this." β
Qing Zhi regretted saying it too clearly, this is the case in the court. A lot of times you need to pretend to be confused, and no one wants to be the first person to break that meaning!
"It's just me and my sister here, so we don't need to talk to cover it up." Mo Yan looked at Qing Zhi and said, "Actually, that's what it means. β
"His Majesty has seen several drawings drawn up by the construction office, and has chosen the most extravagant one among them."
"In fact, as early as a few days ago, His Majesty had this plan, the flower garden was built early, and the child's illness was inseparable from the Chinese medicine plants in the garden."
Qingzhi listened and listened, and her heart was in a trance for a while. He looked at the sky as the night grew darker, and was silent.
There were only the two of them in the small courtyard at the moment, Mo Yan continued. "But these things have nothing to do with my sister, they are all favors recorded in the name of our son."
"Although Childe is in very bad health, we won't bother him because of the trivial things that happened in the palace," Mo Yan said with an unhappy face. "But sometimes. I still have to use the name of my son to do things and walk. β
Mo Yan has been by his side for a long time, and he has long become a personal spirit, and he can't understand anything.
Qing Zhi is the manager of the flower garden and the person of Penglai Pavilion, and he thinks that it is okay to explain these internal facts to Qing Zhi.
The conversation between the two came to an end, but a small attendant approached the door and called out Mo Yan, saying that the national teacher had woken up. Go to him.
Baoshan and the two of them did not meet outside the hospital, she deliberately avoided it. And Mo Yan was also anxious in his heart, and he hurried to see the national teacher and ignored that little hidden whereabouts.
Bao Shan stayed in the shadows for a while before making a detour into the courtyard.
Seeing Qingzhi frowning and sitting there, she stepped forward and shouted, "Sister steward, I'm back." β
Qingzhi raised her head, looked at Baoshan who came in a hurry, stood up and asked, "How is the flower garden?" β
"I've been there, and a craftsman came to our flower garden this morning to discuss with Master Yuan about the reconstruction after the fire, and Sister Lan was also there."
Speaking of this, Bao Shan glanced at Qingzhi, saw that her face sank, and continued, "I talked to Master Yuan's little apprentice for a while, Master Yuan is too busy today. "When the patrol team comes to our flower garden, they want to see the house where Xiaoling lives and let him take it with him."
Qing Zhi's eyes flashed, and she said with a little uneasiness: "Nothing went wrong, right?" β
"Listening to the tone of a few of them, there shouldn't be a big problem."
"The house where Xiaoling lives is burned to the ground," Bao Shan said in a low voice, reminiscent of the scene he had just seen, "Everything in it has become charcoal, so I'll take a look." β
"At that time, there was only one thought, but fortunately the person came out."
"If you stay in that room, the consequences will be unimaginable." "Huang Guijun really did a good thing, Xiaoling is finally safe."
Qing Zhi raised her hand and clasped the table and said: "Is this in the palace, or the boundary of Penglai Pavilion, the person who set the fire didn't think about scruples, is he so bold?" β
"Don't you know how to be afraid?"
Bao Shan shook his head, looked at Qing Zhi with a deep gaze and said: "Sister steward, to be honest, the one who wants to do this may not be the biggest messenger behind the scenes, maybe he just has the handle to be held hostage." β
Qing Zhi kept her eyes on Baoshan and listened very carefully.
"No matter how scared you are, no matter how much you scruples, you have to do it."
"We often say that when two bad things come together, if you choose one to do, you must choose the better one." "My analogy is probably not appropriate," Bosun blushed, "but I know my sister understands what I mean." "Yes, I understand that the depth of water in this palace, as you said, there are many last resorts, but there will be a handle that is more strict than killing people, offending Penglai Pavilion, and offending the national teacher, this fire is really terrifying."
Qing Zhi sighed and said, "By the way, when you came back, why didn't Gu Lan come back with you?" "Sister steward, she is still staying with Uncle Yuan." "It's to help, how can she help?"
Qingzhi shook her head and said: "That's it, someone must cook some tea or something, forget it, go with her, wait for her to come back later, and I'll ask her what happened this day." "You go to the kitchen to eat something, and by the way, you can also bring me two steamed buns, and I won't go by myself." "Sister steward," Bao Shan smiled, "Are you worried about the next thing that Your Majesty will send someone to inquire about?" What's delicious about cold steamed buns, no matter how worried you are, you can wait until it happens. β
"Eating is still urgent, my sister will go with me, so I can eat a few bites of hot dishes and drink some hot soup, and the winter night is difficult."
"Your Majesty is not on the right side, in case you think of inquiring in the middle of the night, we still have to rush over, it is better to be prepared than to kneel in the cold wind with an empty stomach."
"What you said also makes sense," Qingzhi was moved by Baoshan's big words, so the two of them went out of the courtyard one after the other
Mo Yan ran into Penglai Pavilion like flying, and when he saw that the familiar figure behind the curtain had already gotten up from the couch, his heart immediately clenched.
He knelt heavily on the ground and said fiercely: "Childe is going out today, so he will step over my corpse!! β
The candle flame shook slightly, and a chuckle came from behind the curtain, which was immediately broken by the sound of coughing.
Yun Chu gasped a few times, and said calmly: "You haven't been in the palace for long, and you have learned the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself?" "Childe!!" Mo Yan said embarrassedly, "You still make fun of me, you know"
Mo Yan's voice gradually lowered, the grievances in his heart were self-evident, and in an instant, he thought of what Yun Chu said to him just now, and immediately straightened his back, raised his head, raised his voice, and said, "If you have something, leave it to me, and I can do it." "Well, it's the same for you to do this, get closer, I'll sue you"
"You stay here for a moment." He Yanzhi took Mingzhu along the path through the forest, and Mingzhu couldn't help but look at the largest forbidden place within the scope of the Lin De Palace.
For the first time, she was able to get closer, and the novelty in her eyes could not be hidden.
He Yanzhi occasionally turned around, and saw that the little palace maid who came with him looked childish, and his eyes were full of undisguised curiosity when he looked at the courtyard, and he began to hesitate again at that moment.
Originally, I planned to bring her directly to Xiaoling.
But in this way, He Yanzhi had concerns, and Xindao still asked her if it was appropriate, and it was not too late to bring it away.
Therefore, when he arrived at the main building of the Lin De Palace, He Yanzhi left Mingzhu downstairs alone and went up to see her first.
When he turned his head to look back, Mingzhu was carefully looking at the inscription on the plaque, and his lips moved slightly.
He Yanzhi retracted his gaze and walked upstairs
After I left He Yanzhi, I filtered through all the things that happened last night in my mind, and repeatedly thought about the strange situation in and out of the yard at night, trying to find some clues.
About last night's fire, about the figure who saved me in the middle of the night
I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't resist the sleepiness, and when I was in a daze, the movement from outside made me wake up and open my eyes.
It was He Yanzhi who came in, he was the only one, I breathed a sigh of relief, but let him see my nervous look.
He Yanzhi quickly approached, leaned down to look at me and said, "Was it a nightmare that scared you?" β
"It seems that last night's fire was indeed "
I couldn't hear what he said behind me, I was stunned to look at his gentle gaze that was staring at me, suddenly came back to my senses, and quickly turned my eyes away and said, "It's nothing, Emperor Guijun." β
"The fire was an accident," I said with a deep breath, "and it's the person who set the fire who has the nightmare!" (To be continued......)
