Chapter VII Rules
Since that day on Chinese New Year's Eve, more than ten days have passed, and the day after tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
According to the custom, there are songs and dances in the palace on this day, and the queen wants to invite the families of officials above the fourth grade to the palace to celebrate together, so that the year is complete.
Xinyan was a little sullen, her mother was not qualified to enter the palace.
Looking at Concubine Ning's happy eyebrows in the past two days, and when Fu Fangfei came over the day before yesterday and told her the news, to be honest, she was still very envious in her heart.
She misses her mother, her brother, the old lady, her father, and her gray-bellied little starling......
She leaned on the windowsill and looked at Xiao Quanzi who was busy in the yard.
The sun shines very well, shining on the little Quanzi who walks around, jumping and jumping.
She pushed open the door, called Shanghuancui, walked out, and when she passed by Zhou Cairen's door, she saw Zhou Cairen embroidering something seriously under the window.
She smiled and said hello, and walked north out of Huiyi Palace. She vaguely remembered that there was a flower and tree over there, and the weather was fine today, and she wanted to go there and relax.
After walking a cup of tea, I saw the flowers and trees from a distance, it was early spring, and a row of camellia flowers on the side had begun to bloom.
Her heart was inexplicably cheerful, and she ran over happily, leaned forward, sniffed deeply, closed her eyes tightly, shook her nose exaggeratedly, and shouted: "Incense! It smells so good! It's so fragrant! ā
"Flutter!" Someone laughed out loud from behind, and when she turned her head, she saw a bright yellow standing three steps away! It's not who Emperor Cheng is.
She hurriedly leaned over and saluted, Emperor Cheng stepped forward with a smile, ignored her, picked a camellia and played with it in his hand, and said, "Is it fragrant?" I don't think so. ā
Xinyan opened her mouth, a little nervous, and was speechless for a while.
Emperor Cheng chuckled lightly and looked at her: "Which palace are you from?" He raised his hand to signal Xinyan to get up.
Xin Yan was about to answer, "Your Majesty! Li Dehai trotted forward and whispered a few words in his ear!
Emperor Cheng put away his smile and threw the flower in his hand casually, "Go to Cining Palace!" He turned around and walked quickly.
Gu Xinyan stood in place in a daze, touched her face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Sure enough, Emperor Cheng didn't remember her at all.
Huancui dared to come forward and helped her to the west pavilion.
When I got to the pavilion, I realized that there were already people inside, and it was Ning Concubine and Li Xiurong.
The two of them had obviously been here for a long time, and the chess game spread out on the stone table was halfway over.
Gu Xinyan hurriedly bent down and saluted, Ning Concubine was silent, and Li Xiurong said coquettishly: "Get up!" ā
She straightened up, her eyebrows furrowed, and stood respectfully to one side.
Li Xiurong picked up a chess piece, slowly put it down and picked it up, "Sister Ning, look at you lost another piece." Ning Concubine smiled silently.
Li Xiurong took a turn, swept Gu Xinyan on the side, chuckled and pressed Ning Zhaoyuan's hand, and said, "Wait, I haven't gotten down yet, how can my sister take the lead?" Isn't it true that my sister was also affected by that kid who didn't understand the rules? ā
Gu Xinyan's face stiffened and lowered her head.
Concubine Ning also smiled: "Don't dare!" The most important thing for the queen is the rules, I, remember to hold it! ā
The two looked at each other and smiled, playing chess by themselves, and ignored Xinyan. Gu Xinyan stood awkwardly to the side and said nothing.
After a long time, the two of them were tired of playing, put away the chess, and left on their own.
She sat down slowly against the railing, her legs were a little numb, and Huancui came over to beat her. The master and servant were silent, watching the scene just now, and the two of them saw the scene just now.
After sitting for a long time, they got up, and the two of them didn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, so they went straight back.
When passing by the main hall, Gu Xinyan subconsciously glanced at the door of the hall, and might as well see Zhou Cairen coming out of it.
Zhou Cairen walked over with a smile, and the personal maid Chun'er followed with a food box.
Xinyan stopped and looked at Chun'er, Zhou Cairen lifted the lid of the box and said, "The ruyi cake made by Concubine Ning herself, sister, try it." ā
Xinyan glanced at the half-open window of the main hall and excused herself, "No! Niangniang's pastries must be extremely delicious, but unfortunately I just ate a stomach full of tea, and this will be panicked."
Zhou Cairen took back the box: "Then my sister will go back and rest, and later my sister will ask Chun'er to send some hawthorn cakes to my sister, and that thing will be restrained." ā
Xinyan thanked her and left. Back in the room, just sat down, Xiao Quanzi ran in with a cigarette, and stammered that Grandpa De was waiting outside the door, please let the little master out.
Xinyan was startled, hurriedly went out, and saw Li Dehai, the chief eunuch, standing at the gate of the palace and talking to Ning Zhaoyuan from a distance.
"Little Master Gu!" Father-in-law De gave Xinyan a thousand with a smile on his face. Xinyan didn't dare to say anything.
"Little Lord, this is your thing?" Father-in-law De handed over a box, and in it lay a silver filigree sapphire earring. Xinyan subconsciously touched her earlobe, and her left ear felt empty.
Li Dehai smiled: "The little master put it away." He turned and said goodbye and left.
Gu Xinyan returned to the room and looked at Huancui and the others: When did it fall? How could it be in the hands of Father-in-law? Was it sent by Emperor Cheng? The two of them thought about it for a long time.
On the way, Li Dehai shook his head, it seems that this is the first time he has done such a thing? Emperor Cheng is like this, seemingly gentle, thoughtful, and merciful everywhere, attracting these women in the harem to wait for him obsessively. In fact, most of them are forgotten in the blink of an eye...... Just now, it was also him who had one more mouth, but he ran one more time.
When he returned to the main hall, his apprentice An Shun stepped forward quickly and whispered in his ear: "The emperor has just rested." ā
Li Dehai quietly walked to the side of the main hall, lifted the lid of the smoker and looked at it, and Emperor Cheng's casual voice came from behind him: "Are you back"?
"Yes," Li Dehai replied with a bow.
Emperor Cheng closed his eyes again and said no more. Li Dehai tiptoed out, Anshun had already made tea outside, and when he saw him come out, he offered it with both hands: "Master, this is a new tea, you can taste it."
"You're good." A smile appeared on Li Dequan's white and fat face, he took a sip of the tea bowl, put it down again, and said to An Shun: "The emperor is squinting at this time, I'll go out, you kid be diligent." Something's going to send Xiao Luzi to me. ā
"Yes", An Shun agreed respectfully.
Li Dehaifu turned to the door again and looked, Emperor Cheng was still sleeping, thought about it, turned around and took the cloak hanging on one side and gently covered Emperor Cheng's legs, and then went out.
Li Dehai walked all the way, turned the back hall, and arrived outside the Cining Palace, where a little eunuch saw it in the distance and rushed to meet him and led him inside.
Entering the hall, the aunt of the housekeeper stepped forward and said, "The Queen Mother is inside, and the father-in-law is here, please." ā
Entering the dormitory, the Queen Mother was holding a small white porcelain bowl eating lotus seed soup, and when she saw him come in, she put down the bowl in her hand and said with a smile: "Little Dezi is here!" How is the emperor today? ā
Li Dequan took a step forward, took the bowl in the hand of the Queen Mother, handed it to the little palace maid on the side, turned around and picked up the tea cup on the table, handed it to the Empress Dowager Liu, and then replied: "Thanks to the Queen Mother, the emperor is fine!" ā
Empress Dowager Liu smiled and said; "Yes, I heard that the emperor went to Concubine De's yesterday."
Li Dehai smiled and didn't say anything.
The Queen Mother said: "Among the new concubines this time, is there no one he likes?" Running to a hen that can't lay eggs, what's going on! ā
Hearing that the Queen Mother actually used rough language in the market to scold people, Li Dehai lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to speak.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
This Empress Dowager Liu is the biological mother of Emperor Cheng, because the first emperor did not have many heirs, and the mother was honored as a concubine by virtue of her son, and the queen had no children.
This draft was carried out under her push.
The Queen Mother sighed, got up and walked to the window, picked up a slender silver skewer, and teased the red-billed green parrot in the cage.
Li Dehai stood by a red sandalwood shelf with his hands down, on which was placed a large disc of cyan Yushan kiln, which contained several delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha hands.
He sniffed the scent of Buddha's hand and waited aside. After a long time, the Queen Mother said lightly: "That's it!" Go ahead. ā
Li Dehai was granted amnesty and respectfully retreated.
