Chapter 9 implies
The garden was originally rectangular, but it was surrounded by trees and flowers, and the flowers of various colors grew in order in the center of the orchard, making it a picturesque sight.
"Zhang Meiren?" A pleasant call came from inside the gazebo.
Zhang Meiren was obviously shocked by the scene in front of her, and was stunned for a long time before she walked to the pavilion with lotus steps, and supported the two maids behind her outside the door.
"I've seen Sister Rin." Zhang Meiren saluted.
Liu Yanqing didn't always like to put some powder on her face like other concubines, because in the 21st century, nature is beautiful, and cosmetics are extremely harmful to the skin. So Liuyanqing simply hydrated his skin, and after a long time, he returned the water, but today he didn't dress himself up carefully, he simply pulled up his hair and wore a red gauze robe embroidered with a gold pattern, and his skin was more ruddy.
Liu Yanqing seemed to be very busy, carefully pruning the plants in the glass pot on the stone table, and didn't have time to look at Zhang Meiren, just nodded slightly.
If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you probably think that Liuyanqing also came to 'greet' herself like other concubines. After the matter of Mrs. Lan and Ling Xue'er, there are still many concubines who come to greet one after another, since that day for the empty night tea has always flowed out of the palace, either the always cold Concubine Rin tried her best to please the Night King, or after the Snow Concubine was bullied by Concubine Rin, the Night King did not punish Concubine Rin and so on.
Therefore, the concubines who came to greet Liuyanqing either thought about how to make Ling Xue'er ugly with themselves, or they openly provoked and ridiculed, and Liuyanqing took it as commonplace.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Zhang Meiren stepped forward curiously and asked.
"It's a narcissus, and now it's just pruning its branches, otherwise it won't survive when it's flowering season." Liu Yanqing replied.
Zhang Meiren nodded and continued: "Sister is really leisurely, a few days ago, it was rumored that my sister was either used by Mrs. Lan for private acts or had a conflict with Concubine Xue, and my sister has rarely come out in her palace, so I only heard about these things recently, so I wanted to visit my sister." ”
"It's all over, thank you so much Zhang Meiren for thinking of this concubine, Zhang Meiren don't always stand, sit down quickly." Liu Yanqing said, "Little Bird, hurry up and bring the fruit salad stored in my room to Zhang Meiren to taste." ”
"Yes." Xiao Yu glanced at Zhang Meiren and left behind Liuyanqing.
"Fruit salad?" Zhang Meiren was surprised that she had never heard of such a name.
Liu Yanqing didn't rush to answer Zhang Meiren's words, and after he trimmed the narcissus in the glassware, he breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "It's me, it's the concubine's homemade, and the various fruits are fused together and then added with the concubine's special sauce." ”
Zhang Meiren said incredulously: "I didn't expect Sister Rin to have these talents, my sister really admires it from the bottom of my heart, when I entered this courtyard before, it was still deserted, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the fish in the pond had long since died, I didn't expect it to be restored to such a beautiful scenery in just a few months." ”
Liuyanqing sighed when he heard this: "I didn't expect that empty night to be so ruthless, and to let the lord of the dignified harem live in such a place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't, it's really infuriating!" ”
Liuyanqing's inadvertent underestimation frightened Zhang Meiren, and she hurriedly stepped forward to cover Liuyanqing's mouth, and whispered while looking around: "Sister, you can't say such things here, it will cause trouble." ”
Liuyanqing snorted lightly, did not answer, sulked in his heart, he has been living here since he crossed over for no reason, he thought that every palace was the same, it was a place where weeds did not grow, but he didn't expect that only his own Thorn Orchid Hall was like this, in order to decorate this courtyard, he spent a few months, no matter if he left here or not, this is also to prove that he has saved here.
Zhang Meiren saw that there was no one around, and said quietly: "Liuyueqing, your mission may be about to succeed, during this period, you must be careful of others, and contact me in time if you have any questions in the future." ”
Liuyanqing's action of fiddling with the narcissus in the glassware stopped, stared at Zhang Meiren's eyes in confusion, and asked, "What are you talking about?" What task? ”
Zhang Meiren thought that Liuyanqing was joking, so she continued to remind: "Liuyueqing, could it be that you have forgotten to prune these flowers and trees all day long and cultivate your self-cultivation, don't you want to leave the palace?" If you want to leave the palace, you have to listen to us. ”
Listen to 'us'? Liuyanqing was surprised in his heart, could it be that there is another person behind Zhang Meiren? Task? What is the mission? Could it be that the owner of this body, Liuyueqing, promised something ridiculous before his death.
Zhang Meiren saw that Liu Yanqing's expression was still questioning, so she sighed and said: "Sure enough, Xiaoyu said that you fell on the day that Concubine Xue married into the palace, so that you couldn't remember some things, and it was true." After thinking for a while, Zhang Meiren continued: "But this is also a good thing, it is safer not to know anything than to know everything." ”
Sure enough, the owner of this body was framed, and the person who harmed was Ling Xue'er, it was really unexpected, it was really pitiful for Liuyueqing, but I Liuyanqing will take you away from this place, Liuyanqing said in his heart.
"Zhang Meiren, you came to see Concubine Ben today, shouldn't you be talking about this, I am not satisfied with you saying that I also escaped from the palace once before, but I was caught by Kong Mingye, and now I don't want to leave the palace."
It's strange, I've been waiting for the opportunity to escape from the palace, if I didn't want to make the embankment of the empty night to myself smaller, I wouldn't have deliberately tidied up the courtyard, and the people in the palace are sinister, and if you are not careful, you will be 'eaten', so you can only say it with a clear conscience.
Zhang Meiren chuckled and said: "Sister Rin still likes to joke, you don't need to protect my sister and me, because we are on one side, you forgot the day we slept together and came back, but you told me that you wanted to escape from the palace before you agreed to my mission." ”
Liu Yanqing looked at Zhang Meiren for a while, then chuckled: "Then I want to hear what it is?" ”
Zhang Meiren Yan said in a low voice: "Just keep it like now, my sister just came to visit this time, seeing that Sister Rin has a good complexion recently, and she has made herself more fulfilling, which is enough, and when the time comes, my sister will inform my sister." ”
"It's really inexplicable, it's good to say no at first."
Zhang Meiren smiled: "If I had said it earlier, my sister would not be able to be her true self, and she would not be trusted." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard footsteps coming, and the little owl carefully carried two utensils to the two of them.
Zhang Meiren looked at the color of the flowers and birds in the vessel in surprise, and the layer of milky white sauce spread on it, and felt a little incredible, and she also learned to be smoky, scooping a spoon in one hand and sending it to her mouth.
"Wow, it's delicious, Sister Rin, I can't believe it's from you, I haven't eaten it in the palace."
"Have you been to the palace?" Liu Yanqing and Xiao Yu looked at Zhang Meiren suspiciously.
You must know that whether it is the concubine of the Night King or other concubines of noble blood, they cannot enter the palace, because it is already **, except for the royal banquet.
Zhang Meiren realized that there was something wrong with her words at this time, so she explained: "It's the emperor's birthday once a year, and at that time there was just a fruit platter, where is there such a concocted thing." ”
Xiao Yu smiled at this time and said: "This is the first to praise Concubine Rin's craftsmanship, the ladies of other palaces have deliberately picked and choose after tasting it, and they still stuff it in their mouths while saying that the sauce is too sweet, it's really fake." ”
Liu Yanqing hurriedly stopped, and shouted: "Little bird, don't say these words, if they are heard by others, aren't they saying that the concubine is not strict in discipline?" ”
Liuyanqing came to his senses, and Xiao Yu accompanied him around, listening to Xiao Yu say that he had accompanied him from beginning to end, and he was perhaps the most trusted person in Liuyueqing's life, so Liu Yanqing would not ignore Xiao Yu, just now Xiao Yu said unintentionally that if he fell into the handle, the concubines of other palaces would definitely not let go.
Zhang Meiren chuckled and said, "Anyway, there is no one else here, it's okay, as long as Sister Rin trusts her sister." ”
Only then did Xiao Yu realize that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly saluted Zhang Meiren: "Thank you, Zhang Meiren." ”
Liuyanqing said in a friendly manner: "If my sister doesn't dislike it, I'll try some food here later, so that I can evaluate it." ”
Zhang Meiren nodded, but there was a burst of joy in her heart, if the current situation continues, the Night King will definitely be inclined to her, so she will lay the foundation for the future.
And Liuyanqing also has his own plans in his heart, although he vaguely understands that he is going to be used, but if he has been led by the nose, it must not be good for him, Zhang Meiren will not have any big conspiracy for a woman, then she is the person behind Zhang Meiren's back, no matter what, she has to fight for her life, Liuyueqing has died in the dispute, and she doesn't want to die inexplicably.
Zhang Meiren stayed here for a long time, so that when she sorted out the narcissus, the sky had already darkened, and the Lantern Festival was about to arrive on the fifteenth day of the first month, so the sky was also clear in time, the sky in ancient times was very good, there was no industrial pollution, so the sky was always clean, and the moon and stars twinkled like a fairy, which made people feel comfortable.
Liu Yanqing sat alone in the pavilion looking up at the sky, his thoughts drifted into the distance, there was a slight sound of footsteps, Liu Yanqing didn't care, and said: "Little bird, you go back to rest first, I'll go back later." ”
