Chapter Ninety-Six: The Inside Story of the First Solution
"It was the most precious flower in the whole garden. *”
Uncle Yuan whispered to me, "You'd better not touch the conservatory and the place that comes out of the circle." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
I looked at him puzzled and asked. "A few days ago, a palace maid was transferred from Qingsi Hall to help us." "Qing Si Palace?" I was stunned for a moment, and my eyes suddenly glanced in the direction of that side. "Yes, I was sent to the Huanyi Bureau within two days of being transferred, and I was still doing the lowest errand." "I've seen one of the palace maids in Qingsi Palace, uncle, you've also heard the rumors in the palace, it's a place where beauties gather." "It's just that I don't understand, can I still stab Lou Zi when I come to the flower garden to do things?"
I thought it would be enough to be careful and diligent with my hands and feet. "Xiaoling girl, you think too simply." Uncle Yuan shook his head and said, "Although we are only working in the flower garden, we also involve a lot of things, you know that our place is different from other places in the palace." “
"You should know that, right?"
Uncle Yuan handed me a small flower shovel in his hand.
"Clear, Penglai Pavilion."
"Yes, just because we are close to the side gate of Penglai Pavilion here, and there are very few opportunities to even go to the main hall, but no matter how few, it doesn't mean that there is nothing."
I was silent for a moment, looking at the waterfront building in Penglai Pavilion in the distance. "Xiaoling." "Well," I turned my head and smiled at Uncle Yuan, "I've heard a lot, and I've heard about how difficult Penglai Pavilion is to enter." "Which one of the palace did you send you here?" Which female official asked you to come? "Neither," I paused, not wanting to tell the truth. Although I was also very reluctant to deceive the enthusiastic Uncle Yuan, after thinking about it for a while, I whispered, "Anyway, I didn't mean to get here." "That's for the best."
Uncle Yuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his voice sounded a lot happier, "Since you have heard so much about Penglai Pavilion, you don't want to come here." If you were sent in, it proves that you are different from the people who came before. "What happened to those people before?" I felt more confused. "Xiaoling, wait until it's time for dinner. I'll tell you more about it. "But at dinner, Miss Qingzhi was there," I glanced at Uncle Yuan with hesitant eyes. Don't worry, she's not here for dinner today. I'm going to Penglai Pavilion to deliver flowers. "Flowers should not always be picked before dawn. Wouldn't it be better to have new flowers with dew? I looked at Uncle Yuan suspiciously and asked, "Why do you have to go to Tete to deliver flowers at night?" "I'm sorry," I lowered my head and said, "Uncle Yuan, I don't understand anything, I'm a newcomer, isn't there too many questions?" "It's okay," the uncle said with a hearty smile. As soon as Miss Qingzhi leaves, you will go to the small courtyard to sit and have a cup of tea. Let's talk for a moment. "Okay." I held the flower shovel in my hand and watched Uncle Yuan's back disappear by the bamboo fence in the flower garden.
I've been busy for two hours, my back hurts, and the intensity of work here is higher than anywhere I've ever been.
Think about it, I also stayed in Dongping Palace, and I also did maid errands over there, but I didn't have the hard work here.
As soon as my thoughts returned to the place in my memory, the unprovoked sentimentality came to my heart, and I glanced at the direction of Penglai Pavilion melancholy, across the lake and the curved bridge, I didn't even see the figure over there.
But in the dark, I always feel that it seems that there is a very different place for me, and what else can it be, because of him
In the evening, Angelica came to me in the flower garden. "Xiaoling," she stood at the edge of the flowerbed and shouted my name this time, as if unwilling to come near me.
I was feeling strange, remembering what Uncle Yuan had said earlier, and couldn't help but look up at her.
After a closer look, I realized that she had already changed into a dress and had been groomed and dressed.
When I saw her for the first time in the flower garden, I thought she looked good, and now I look at it again, and it is much more beautiful.
Seeing me looking at her blankly, Qingzhi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled, "What's wrong?" "Sister, you're so beautiful." I didn't hesitate to praise it.
When Qingzhi heard this, she was in a very good mood for a moment, and beckoned: "Xiaoling, come here." “
I walked over to the flower bed and smelled her scent. "I'm going to Penglai Pavilion to deliver a pot of flowers."
Qing Zhi said with a bit of smugness in her tone, "It's Gongzi, you know, it's the National Teacher, what he needs in his room." “
I looked at her expression, and then listened to her tone, it couldn't have anything to do with the flowers, as if she was going to send herself to the man's room.
I lowered my eyes, clenched the fist at my side, and when I raised my head, I said in a flat tone: "Sister, is there anything you want me to do?" "You go to eat, it's already open in the small courtyard." "Okay." "Sister, have you had dinner?" "No, as long as you go to Penglai Pavilion to deliver flowers, Childe will definitely enjoy some food."
"Sister, what kind of flowers are you sending?"
Qing Zhi didn't answer, and said a little mysteriously: "You just came, it's not clear, and after a long time, and you're familiar with the things in the flower garden, I'll tell you." “
I looked at the veiled basket beside her, and I couldn't tell what kind of flower it was
Approaching the door of the small courtyard, Uncle Yuan was already waiting there.
"I left you a copy of the food I delivered, Xiaoling, come to me after eating."
Maybe it's because of the hard work of the afternoon, I have obviously more food than before, but before I was selected to enter the palace, I had already gained a lot of weight in the courtyard where Ji Jiu lived, if I ate so much, it would be true
So I forced myself to eat seven points of food, and after a simple cleanup, I went to the small courtyard to talk to Uncle Yuan.
On the stone table under the osmanthus tree, Uncle Yuan had already made a pot of tea and was waiting for me in small sips.
See me in the past. He gestured to the seat across from me and asked me to sit down.
The conversation starts at the place where it was interrupted.
"Uncle Yuan," I asked in a low voice, "you tell me." Miss Qingzhi is going to Penglai Pavilion to send flowers to the National Teacher, and I saw her in the flower garden just now. ”
"I wonder why I went at this hour?"
Uncle Yuan said: "I heard that the person who lives in Penglai Pavilion is not in good health and can't sleep well all night long, so His Majesty has a purpose to search for various ways to help him sleep." ”
"Or Miss Qingzhi has a way, there have been flower seeds sent from other countries in our flower garden, and the kind of flower that has been cultivated is not amazing, but smelling the smell has the effect of calming the mind and sleeping."
"It's because of that. His Majesty ordered Miss Qingzhi to go to Penglai Pavilion every three or five to change fresh flowers. ”
"The one you're talking about, isn't it a small lilac flower?" I was stunned and asked.
"I don't know. Those pots of flowers were placed in the conservatory, only Miss Qingzhi handled, when she entered the palace, the most senior florist in the palace was her master. After the one left the palace. All the skills were passed on to her. ”
"I see," I can get an idea.
I looked at Uncle Yuan and hesitated for a moment before asking: "Female, Your Majesty and the National Teacher"
"Mo Duo Yan, Mo Duo Yan." Uncle Yuan suddenly made a silent gesture for me.
I once heard others say "don't talk about national teachers" outside the palace and in the teahouse in the national capital, and I thought it was "don't talk about national affairs", but I couldn't imagine that so many days had passed. I was in the palace, in a flower garden not far from Penglai Pavilion. You can hear the same thing.
I'm so interested that I won't ask any more.
When Uncle Yuan saw that I could listen to his advice, a smile appeared on his face and said, "Sure enough, he is an obedient child." ”
"You said don't ask more, I won't ask."
"By the way, can you tell me how the palace maid of the Qingsi Palace was sent down, so that I can be reminded so that I don't be careless one day"
"That's what I'm looking for." Uncle Yuan said in a low voice, "It's to remind you not to commit the taboo of Miss Qingzhi." ”
"What taboo?"
"At the beginning, the palace maid secretly went to send flowers to the national teacher without her permission, but she still lost her temper over there, which caused His Majesty to be furious."
After listening to what Uncle Yuan said, I took a long time before answering: "I know what you said." "Well, I shouldn't tell you so much about reasoning, but a few days ago, that little palace maid, thinking of her results, I felt a little uneasy, since you are new here, it is always right to be reminded." "Thank you, uncle," I said, looking at him gratefully, "Thank you for reminding me." "Don't have any thoughts about people like the national teacher, you can stay here safely, except for that taboo, in fact, Miss Qingzhi still has some skills, you follow her to learn hard, and leaving the palace after two years is one more skill."
Uncle Yuan glanced at me kindly and said earnestly. "You are right, thinking about those who are far away from you and out of reach is fruitless, it is better to do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner." "That's right." "You little girl, you're smart, you can see through a little."
I was in the small courtyard, looking at the bonsai newly made by several masters, and the rockery decorated on it looked really real.
In the night, Qingzhi stepped on the trail and came back, and the expression on her face looked very happy.
As soon as she entered the small courtyard, she happily called my name, handed me a box and said, "This is the dim sum rewarded by the prince of Penglai Pavilion, I have eaten a lot over there, this is for you." "It's your first day at the garden, so you'll have to do things well in the future."
I bowed my head and took it and thanked Qingzhi
In the moonlight, I opened the snack box in front of the window of the utility room, and to my surprise, it was actually the magnolia cake I hadn't seen for many days.
In the Sealand Palace, there are also such snacks?
Put a piece in your mouth and chew it slowly, as if you are savoring the taste of the first taste.
Maybe that time will never come again in this life!
Only a person who is on the outside like Uncle Yuan can see the essence most clearly
Putting down the box, I couldn't help but sigh, but how do I get my plan done?
So far, I don't have a clue, and I'm really embarrassed about this (to be continued......
