Chapter Twenty-Four: The New Ones Are Always There
Su Dai raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and said in a low voice: "If it is too late today, if you go back to look for it with great fanfare, I am afraid that it will alarm others, let's go back first, and I will let Luo Zhi look for it in a while."

Jiang Mi took her hand, her expression was full of worry: "It's okay, if there is any news, send someone to inform me." Su Dai bowed his head slightly and patted her hand to show reassurance.
After returning to the Qiluan Hall and waiting for a long time, Luo Zhi came back from outside with a sheep's horn lamp, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, Saihan asked first: "Can you find it?" Zhi sighed and shook her head.
Seeing this, Su Dai's fingers clutched the armrest of the Huanghuali open-carved rose chair until his fingertips turned white. Saihan hurriedly said with relief: "Niangniang's sachet is just embroidered, and no one should notice it." Luo Zhi also said: "On the sachet, the slave didn't embroider anything related to Niangniang, even if it was picked up by others, it was nothing." β
Su Dai closed his eyes, opened them again, and said lightly: "When you went to look for it, could you be seen?" β
Luo Zhi shook her head: "No, but if anyone pays attention, I'm afraid they will still see the slave." β
"If anyone asks, you say it's your beads gone."
"Slaves and maids can be saved."
The gilded flower candlestick on the table suddenly exploded a loud firework, Su Dai felt that it was late at this time, and Luo Zhi stepped forward to help her up: "Niangniang, let's rest." β
When Luo Zhi was widening clothes for Su Dai, she found the sachet given by Jiang Mi, and said: "Niangniang, can you ask the imperial doctor to take a look at the sachet given by Shao Wanyi?" Su Dai looked at his unreal face in the bronze mirror from afar, and said lightly: "Just do as you say." "Even though she has the heart to be good friends with Jiang Mi, she still has to guard against it.
On the second day, Jiang Mi hurried over with the palace maid. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he retreated from the palace maid who was waiting, and when everyone dispersed, Jiang Mi took Su Dai's hand and asked in a low voice, "Did you find it?" Seeing Su Dai shaking her head, she couldn't help but feel even more anxious, and muttered, "How is this good?" β
On the contrary, Su Dai smiled and comforted her: "I only wore that sachet once, and no one should remember it, not to mention that there is nothing related to me on the sachet." My sister is relieved, even if she is picked up by others, it will be fine. β
"That's all there is to it." Jiang Mi sat down on the chair and sighed deeply.
Luo Zhi walked in with the glass jar, only to see that the glazed jar was filled with melons and fruits that had been freshly poured with well water in the morning.
Although a bamboo curtain was hung on the door of the main hall to shield her from the heat, Su Dai still felt hot all over, and even the intricate brocade on the ebony peony screen used to separate the inside and outside of her side made her dizzy.
"I've got an interesting thing here." Jiang Mi gently twisted a piece of watermelon with crystal droplets, "I wonder if my sister is interested?" β
Su Dai endured the feeling of discomfort and said with a smile: "Oh? I don't know what kind of interesting thing it is, but Sister Mi has the heart to pay attention? β
Jiang Mi glanced at Su Dai, and then smiled: "You will make fun of me." After a pause, he said, "I don't know if my sister still remembers the dancing girl who was praised by His Majesty at the banquet yesterday?" β
Su Dai smiled and bowed slightly: "The people are beautiful, the dance is also moving, and it is unforgettable." Jiang Mi Waner smiled and said: "Sheng Jieyu won the first place yesterday by playing shooting, and she thought that she would be fortunate to be your majesty, but she didn't want Your Majesty to summon the dancing girl to sleep in the Shangyi Bureau, but Sheng Jieyu was angry." β
Su Dai picked up the tea cup on the table, his eyes were faint: "Sheng Jieyu is competitive, and the dancing girl is afraid that she won't be able to get benefits." β
"It's not, early this morning, the dancing girl was sealed and the warbler is always there, and she lives in Qiushui Garden." Jiang Mi bowed slightly, "Yingchang went to ask the virtuous concubine for peace after going to bed as usual, and bumped into Sheng Jieyu on the way back, Sheng Jieyu said that she was misbehaved, pampered and arrogant, and she was punished for often kneeling on Hanyuan Road for two hours. β
Su Dai frowned and put the teacup on the table: "This Sheng Jieyu is so scheming, and she doesn't know how to converge, how can she sit in Jieyu's position?" β
Jiang Mi pursed her lips and chuckled: "Naturally, with the help of her mother's family, you may have known that Sheng Jieyu was the niece of the virtuous concubine, but you didn't know the inside story." β
"Oh? And the inside story? β
"The virtuous concubine was pointed out by the emperor in the thirty-fifth year of Chongyuan to His Majesty, who was still the king of Jin'an at that time, as a side concubine. His Majesty intended to marry the daughter of the Sheng family as a side concubine at that time, but the Sheng family was the Marquis of Boyuan, and when he heard that it was just a side concubine, he was reluctant to marry his own daughter, so he let the daughter of the side branch marry him. Later, after His Majesty ascended the throne, the Sheng family was unwilling, and it was easy to wait for their daughter-in-law to grow up, and then hurriedly sent them to the palace. β
When Su Dai heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Who did the daughter of the Sheng family, who was supposed to be the side concubine give it to?" β
Jiang Mi smiled: "That Boyuan Marquis originally wanted to pick up high branches and perch, so he married his daughter to the second prince at that time, which is now Prince Mu and Princess. β
"Therefore, Concubine Xian is Sheng Jieyu's aunt, but she doesn't necessarily have the same heart as Sheng Jieyu." Su Dai bent the corners of his lips slightly, outlining a gentle shallow arc.
Jiang Mi smiled slightly: "My sister is really smart. β
As he spoke, a compelling heat gradually rose in the hall, and Jiang Mi gently tested his cheeks with a handkerchief: "Why is it so hot this day?" As soon as the words fell, there was a "jingle bell" from the cloisonnΓ© enamel urn on the side of the Huanghuali case, and after a closer look, it turned out that the ice had melted, and only a small piece was left floating on it, and the sound was the sound of the ice cube touching the edge of the urn.
Su Dai summoned Saihan in and instructed, "Go to the Treasurer and get some ice cubes back." β
Saihan went in response, and after a while, Luo Zhi, who had been in the warm pavilion next to him, brought two little palace maids in, and said with a smile: "I heard Saihan say that the mother is hot." The two little palace maids stepped forward to fan Su Dai and Jiang Mi, and with their fans, Su Dai felt a little cool.
Jiang Mi sat down and talked to Su Dai for a while, and then took the palace people back to the Flowing Frost Pavilion.
The afternoon sun was particularly scorching, the entire Yuhuatai was quiet, and the palace doors were locked, and the ice was cold in the palace.
"Why did Saihan go for so long?" The heat in the hall made Su Dai a little irritable, and he sat up from the beauty couch slightly, wanting to take a nap, but there was no ice cube to cool down, and the hot heat really made it difficult to sleep.
Luo Zhi picked up the bamboo curtain in front of the door and looked at it: "It shouldn't be, I usually come back with a cup of tea." β
"Go and see."
Luo Zhi said yes and went out with the bamboo curtain.
After another cup of tea, Saihan came back angrily, and Luo Zhi, who followed behind him, also frowned. Seeing this, Su Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly: "What's wrong?" Saihan said angrily: "The slave and maid went to the treasurer to receive the ice cubes for the mother's share, but Han Siji said that the weather was hot, and all the palaces sent people to pick up the ice, and the slave and maid went late, and the ice cubes were all taken away." β
Su Dai snorted coldly: "If you go late, you won't have it?" Not to mention that it's only afternoon, even if it is really all taken away, who gave her the courage to move the ice cubes of the palace without authorization! β
"The slave said the same thing, but Han Siji said that she couldn't help it, and the ice cubes in each palace were in short supply......
Before Saihan finished speaking, Su Dai was already angry, and slapped the beauty couch under him, and was about to speak, but he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his eyes were dark, and he fell on the couch.
