Chapter 254: Dangerous Moves in Chess (Part II)
The guard added, "The flower garden was half burned, and His Majesty asked the people in the construction department to draw up the drawings. ”
"The building office is consulted with the steward of the garden."
"The renovation in the palace has just begun, and they are temporarily living in Penglai Pavilion." "You're on the site where you sent it to the flower garden?" The hidden guard said with a move in his eyes. "I heard that there are still houses where things are stored that haven't burned down."
The hidden guard suddenly remembered something, looked at He Yanzhi and asked, "Or send it directly to the courtyard where they live in Penglai Pavilion?" “
The hidden guard didn't dare to make decisions on his own, and he had to ask clearly before he could do anything.
He Yanzhi gestured, and the hidden guard nodded knowingly, "Understood." ”
He Yanzhi said a few more words, and after listening to it, the hidden guard took the box and went out to leave.
The hidden guard will not directly interfere in the delivery of the matter, but will give the task to the people below.
After the hidden guard left, He Yanzhi squinted, looking at the candle flame still burning on the desk, he stared at it for a long time, and then reached out and extinguished it with a wave.
He raised his head, looked out the window, stayed indoors and waited quietly for a while, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf, leaning against the shelf with a gloomy expression and flipping through a few random books.
Since her disappearance in Zhuyuan, the books she had read from upstairs had been taken down and put back on the shelves.
When He Yanzhi sorted it out by hand, he did not mix the pile of books with the original books, but placed those books on the shelves separately.
At a glance, it occupies a single square.
Because she stayed for a short time, there were few brochures recommended by him to read. So there were only a few books that I got back.
The compartment on the shelf looked a little empty because of the number of stores, just like his mood now.
He Yanzhi's expression was a little trance-like. He closed his eyes and sighed.
The light was refracted through the window, He Yanzhi drank a cup of tea in the study, and calculated that the person who should come should also arrive, so he pushed open the door and walked into the bamboo courtyard.
The bamboo garden in winter was still green, and He Yanzhi walked and stopped in the forest, frowned and took a few deep breaths. The tightness in the chest felt much better.
He stopped in the bamboo forest, lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, raised his head, and glanced in the direction of the entrance of the bamboo garden in slight surprise.
He knew that Su Hyun would definitely come to him, but it seemed that he had come later than expected.
He Yanzhi's gaze fell on the green bamboo forest. After looking at it for a while, he reached out and touched his eyebrows
I agreed to everything the attendant told me, and I couldn't fault anything with my attitude.
Let him feel that I am still reliable. He can leave with peace of mind!
The squire stood on the shore. Watch me jump into the boat.
I found the top bag, and I have to make sure that the other party has two brushes, I guess he is going to see me start work before leaving!
The hull shook violently a few times, and my heart jumped to my throat.
As soon as I looked up, I caught a glimpse of the staring eyes of the people standing on the shore, and I moved my body, quickly calmed down, and stood firmly.
The boat was still rocking gently, and I almost thought it was sinking when it suddenly happened. Fortunately, I thought about it too much!
The attendants kept an eye on my movements from the shore. I slowly untied the reins, paddled the water, and the boat slowly sailed out towards the lake.
The man on the shore was satisfied, and knew that I was not talking about being able to sail a boat.
"Xiaolin, do things carefully and salvage clean."
He yelled at me.
I picked up the net that was resting in the cabin and fished it up on the surface of the lake.
The man on the shore looked at me, made a gesture, and at last turned his head and left, and in a few moments disappeared into the woods.
Today's banquet in the Sealand Palace, maybe this group of miscellaneous attendants will take the time to wander around.
I stayed on the surface of the lake for about a quarter of an hour, and the net in my hand was caught in the water.
Seeing the attendant return, I put down the net in my hand and slowly leaned back in the direction from which I came.
Everything I brought with me is hidden in the woods, and I can't do it if I don't get it back!
When I finally got close to the shore of the lake, I quickly slowed down to prevent the boat from hitting the rocks on the shore.
If that's the case, it's not good.
It took me some effort to get to a stop and I grabbed the reins and jumped up the stone steps
I carefully observed the moisture on the grass blades in the forest, and noticed that the sky was slowly changing, and as it was now, the lake would slowly fog up after noon.
Although the winter days in Sealand are also cold, they are much warmer than those in the Snow Country and Yannan, where they once stayed.
Yun Chu once taught me the relevant content carefully, and it was his turn to apply what he had learned.
Those who don't understand the weather will mistake the timing for luck or attribute it to ghosts.
But those who understand change naturally know that those conditions are due to the climate itself.
From this point of view, I took advantage of the fact that I had traveled through another world, and it was much easier to accept the relevant knowledge than it was for the ignorant people.
I thought about taking risks before I came, and I had to take risks to do this, but being able to take advantage of the weather was an extra chip for me.
Just as the senior brother went on an adventure to spy last night, the night fog gave him the best barrier to make him less discoverable.
Today's fog will be worse in the evening, and I suspect that this is the time when the feast begins.
If I want to say that it is a matter of luck, I am no worse than my brother's luck, but I hope it will continue tonight
I came down from the tree, and the bag of things I was hiding was intact, and it was hard to find it in such a short period of time.
I have paid attention to the people in the patrol team, this is what I am most worried about at the moment, I always feel that He Yanzhi seems to have a backhand, and I am worried that he has other arrangements in the palace.
The patrol searched almost the entire palace of the Sealand Palace, carefully searching everywhere they went.
They were unable to find any clues in some familiar places I had visited, and simply expanded the scope of their search. Arrived in a remote corner of the Sealand Palace.
Even if they try their best, because of such a strong helping hand as Senior Brother, I believe that it is extremely unlikely that they will reveal their flaws. By and large, the search was futile.
The fog can cover me up, but sometimes the wise man will inevitably be negligent, and I dare not pack the ticket, if the patrol appears at an unfortunate time, I may expose my target.
It's not my style to cringe from looking ahead and backwards, and since I've been thinking about something to do for so long, I won't give up because I'm worried about a patrol.
Get your feet wet. There is still a possibility of success, so I can give it a go.
Although the lake in the Sealand Palace occupies a large area, it is not very interesting.
Find a palace maid who ran away in the winter. The patrol team is looking for people, but they may not find the surface of the lake
On the way back to the lake, I still met people and heard movement in the distance. I quickly ducked into the bushes.
Coming out of the Lin De Hall until now. It seems that I spent the last part of my life in the Sealand Palace in hiding and hiding.
I hid it, looked through the gaps, and settled in my heart.
The person who passed by was fortunate not the newcomer I was pretending to be now.,It's the palace maid who looks at the eyes.。
I hid behind the bushes and listened to their conversations.
The two figures quickly walked to the nearest intersection and under the big tree. "You didn't see it, so let us go back, how should we answer if the beauty asks?"
It turned out to be a person who came back from the place where the palace banquet was prepared, and I was slightly stunned when I heard it.
One of them sounded a little similar to Qingzhi's voice. Obviously older, his tone was calmer: "Just report it truthfully." “
My heart moved. According to what they talked about, the palace banquet should have been almost prepared, and it was really efficient. "Sister, don't you think it's a pity?" The palace maid with a more lively voice asked. "What a pity?" She was still in that calm tone. "We've always lived in the southwest, and we don't have much chance to meet those people," the little palace maid paused and continued, "We've been dispatched to help today, and I'm very happy to go out in the morning." "I finally took advantage of the practice banquet of the war in the north to see them, but I didn't even see your lord, so I was sent back."
The palace banquet is ready, and the next thing is that those people are going to appear, and I don't know if the recipe I sent was seen by him?
I suppressed the churning of my thoughts and leaned my head forward slightly, trying to hear the conversation clearly.
Usually in such a chance encounter, the other party is not wary, and he comes back from the place where the palace banquet is prepared, and he can probably hear some news.
I have used the same method more than once in the palace, and each time I have gained something more or less. "I can't say it's sending, it's that there are enough people," the palace maid with a calm tone rolled her eyes and patted the little palace maid's shoulder.
After thinking about it, she whispered softly: "You didn't see that there are people from all palaces coming to help, the number of people who can use the entire venue is limited, and it is useless for extra people to stay in the venue of the palace banquet." “
This sounds very sensible, and it is not the words of a casual person who is in love, so a personality similar to Qingzhi is easier to survive in the palace.
I couldn't help but raise my head in the grass and glance at the palace maid who was talking.
The palace maid who spoke first said unhappily: "Can't we stay any longer?" ”
"A venue as big as a palace banquet, standing in any corner, you can help the nobles pour a glass of wine and deliver dishes."
The tone of the little palace maid's speech was not very good. "In my opinion, even the people under your lord are not kind, and they don't look down on our people in the southwest area," the palace maid said with her mouth curled, "Find a reason to drive us away." "Sister, don't say that," the palace maid in a calm tone comforted softly, "Right now, I am still passing by someone's place, and it seems that in front of me is the courtyard where the attendants who do chores live." ”
"Those people go in and out, passing by on the road, you are here with me, it doesn't hurt to complain to me a few words, but it is easy to be listened to by people on the road" "In case multiple hearts and eyes notice where we come from, or they will provoke some unwarranted rights and wrongs for the beauty." “
The palace maid stopped, the expression on her face was hesitant, she grabbed her sleeve and lowered her voice: "Sister, but I am uncomfortable, and I may not be able to please if I really want to stay there." "What do you mean by that?" "Sister, when your majesty comes back from the palace banquet, I don't know what those people will do." "My beauty is self-contained, and she doesn't care about those things that compete for favor, but she can't stand the excitement of others." "I want to stay in that place, but also to take care of him." While speaking, the little palace maid paused again and lowered her voice, "I'm afraid that he will be calculated!" ”
The face of the person opposite her suddenly sank, and his expression changed instantly.
I frowned, trying to hear what she was saying next. "Sister, don't forget jì, there was a palace banquet a few years ago, and a beauty went for no reason, I heard that it was"
The palace maid's voice gradually lowered, and even if I tried all my strength, it was still difficult to hear the whispered conversation clearly, so I had no choice but to give up, but I could roughly guess what she was trying to say. "Shut up quickly, how can you make noise about these forbidden things in the palace, go, go quickly, don't stop again."
The two of them looked away from me.
I straightened up from behind the grass and swept my eyes over the ladies who were walking away, retracting my gaze to look again in the direction they had come.
There was no one at the moment, so I quickened my pace, grabbed the burden in my hand, and hurried to the lake.
My feet were not slow, and when I saw that I had turned the end of the forest and reached the lake, I could faintly see the embankment, when suddenly I heard a commotion again in front of me.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and quickly hid myself again, this time directly up the tree.
After a while, the person walking in the distance was dressed in the same costume as the two palace maids I had seen earlier.
I watched them approach from a distance in the tree, and I knew in my heart that there were really a lot of palace maids who were helping in the palace banquet today.
These people also came from the southwest corner.
On weekdays, they take care of those unfavored beauties, that is, the empress's people, and when they have something to do in the palace, they also serve as miscellaneous helpers.
The expressions of these people were similar to those of the palace maid I had seen earlier.
Along the way, I was chatting about what I saw and heard in the palace banquet, and I still had some regrets when I didn't have the opportunity to meet Su Hyun.
Recently, it has been rumored in the palace that Su Hyun's return to favor has always been the focus of discussion among people in the palace.
They went to help with anticipation, thinking that it would be easy to see the person in charge, but they didn't realize that they were not in the courtyard at all.
As a result, after finishing a bunch of chores, he was sent away by the palace maids under Su Hyun's hands.
Yes, these people will not be in a good mood when they come back.
I listened to their discussion in the tree, as if the scene was repeated again, the only difference was that this time there was no one to persuade them, and several of them had the same position, that is, they complained all the way.
I listened to their chatter, and my body shrank into the depths of the branches and leaves of the tree, which obscured my view and their faces.
I think I'll be able to get back to the lake boat as soon as this wave passes.
As they walked out of the road, their voices drifting apart, I jumped down from the tree with a sigh of relief, lifted the burden on my shoulders in my hand, and walked towards the lake.
didn't go far away, and a lonely figure came to meet him.
She suddenly turned down the trail! (To be continued......)
