Chapter 52: The fog clears
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager put down the booklet in her hand, glanced at Puyu, and then said, "Come and sit down." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info You have been sick for a few days, but your body is better? ”
Puyu replied respectfully: "Thanks to the care of the Queen Mother, the concubine's body has healed."
After lunch this morning, when she was painting in the hall, the leader of Jingning Palace, the eunuch Fuhai, suddenly arrived, saying that the Queen Mother sent her to Jingning Palace, so she had to take Ling Ling to follow Fuhai.
Since the queen mother returned to the palace, in addition to accepting the concubines' invitations every day, she has eaten fasting and worshipping Buddha in Jingning Palace, and rarely participated in the affairs of the palace. The Queen Mother suddenly sent her forward, she didn't think that the Queen Mother was just to chat with her.
As expected.
The Queen Mother nodded, looked at Puyu, and said lightly: "The mourning family heard that the concubine Pu is humble and has good painting skills, are you willing to come to Jingning Palace to serve the mourning family?" ”
Puyu was slightly shocked in her heart, the Queen Mother directly surprised her, but fortunately, her complexion still maintained a gentle appearance with soft eyebrows and eyes.
It is often said in the world that trees are big and windy. She has been in the limelight recently, and she has been taken care of by the Queen Mother, who knows whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Although the queen mother is the most noble and experienced woman in the harem, she was also an unknown harem concubine. If there is any difference between the queen mother and today's palace concubines, it is that the story of the queen mother and the harem has come to an end, and she has become the most noble woman in the harem, and the queen mother is well versed in the scheming of women in the harem. Now she is facing the queen mother, whether it is a blessing or a curse, she will not be able to escape.
Puyu gladly accepted.
The Queen Mother seemed very satisfied with Puyu's answer, and chatted with Puyu for a while, until Aunt Mu reminded the Queen Mother that it was already the hour of the lunch break, and Puyu got up and saluted and retired.
When Puyu walked outside the hall, he was surprised to find that the rice-like snow had quietly turned into a goose feather snow, and as far as the eye could see, the ground was white, lined with the red plum blossoming in the branches of the garden, the red score was extraordinarily bright, but there was no trace of the delicate and bewitching peony, but it made people feel the pride of the red plum and the spirit of the iron bones. In vain she recalled that at that time in the night of the red plum snow, whether the moonlight was hazy or bright, whether the snow was heavier than at this time, and how the red plum bloomed, she could no longer remember, but she deeply remembered that he came quietly and accompanied her under the corridor. Walking to the palace gate, Puyu paused, then turned and went in the opposite direction, this beautiful snow scene, she especially wanted to enjoy it with him.
The door of the Yihe Hall was closed, and I saw Xu Jing waiting alone at the gate of the hall, his nose was already slightly red, as if he had been standing outside the hall for a long time. Although Puyu rarely came to Yihe Palace, he also knew that it should be the palace people and guards of Yihe Hall who were waiting outside the hall, not Xu Jing, who was Song Jin's personal attendant.
Puyu hesitated for a while in her heart, but still said to Xu Jing: "Father-in-law Lao Xu has reported it for me." ”
Xu Jing did not enter the palace to report like ordinary palace people, but said: "The emperor is discussing matters in the palace, it is inconvenient to see people, does the mother have something important?" ”
Puyu thought about it for a moment before shaking her head, cooking wine and appreciating snow were indeed important things in her eyes, but to him, they didn't seem to be important things.
Xu Jing said again: "Niangniang, the weather is cold, and the slave will prepare a soft sedan chair for you to send you back." ”
Puyu said softly: "I came to the emperor to enjoy the snow together, and now that the emperor has something important to do, I can go by myself, and I don't have to bother my father-in-law." ”
Xu Jing looked at Puyu in the snow, and was suddenly a little annoyed, and then looked at the closed door, only to sigh softly.
Puyu meets the late concubine she hasn't seen for many days in the Imperial Garden, the former concubine. A blue brocade robe wrapped in Tianshui, the figure is still slender, only revealing a white face like porcelain, and the water-cut eyes are like the water in spring, adding a graceful and quiet temperament to her.
If it is said that the late concubine in red clothes is as beautiful as a peony, full of brightness; However, the evening concubine in Tsing Yi is like a begonia in Xihuafu, but there is a trace of coldness in the brightness. It's the same person, but it's not like the same person.
The late concubine blessed her body and saluted: "The concubine and the concubine have seen the noble concubine." ”
Puyu looked at the concubine and sighed in her heart, feng shui took turns. Who would have thought that the favored concubine in the past would also become today's concubine. Puyu didn't want to say much, nodded, and left with Lingjing.
Suddenly, I heard the voice of the evening concubine, and it came from behind me: "Does Concubine Pu really not know who is in the palace or don't want to know who is in the palace?" ”
Puyu was silent, still walking forward. She didn't know who it was, and she didn't want to know who it was.
The evening concubine didn't seem to care about Puyu's attitude at all, and still said: "I don't like red clothes very much, I always think it's too red and gaudy, very tacky, and she prefers red clothes." When I was dressed in red, I looked like her, and I wore it for years, and I almost forgot what I looked like when I was not wearing red. Didn't Concubine Pu always wonder why I was so panicked in Xihe Palace that day? Because Lin Wanwan is the master, and I am the shadow, the main master is back, how can I not panic? Now the person in the palace is Lin Wanwan, doesn't Concubine Pu want to see her? "The Lord is back, what is the use of the shadow?
Although she was skeptical about the attitude of the late concubine that day, she never mentioned it to others, how could the late concubine know? Come to think of it, she had mentioned it to someone.
Puyu stopped and said softly: "No matter whether it is Lin Wanwan or Zhou Wanwan in the palace, it is not me who should be anxious but you as the concubine." ”
After all, the person who is the shadow is a late concubine, not her. The late concubine told her such important news for no reason, and she didn't believe it without asking for half of it.
The concubine's face did not change, and she said with a light smile: "Concubine Pu's words are wrong, Lin Wanwan is the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and no one in the harem is afraid of it." Everyone said that the concubine was smart and indisputable. In my opinion, it may not be like this, but the concubine Pu really doesn't care about power, but she cares about the emperor. ”
Puyu bent her eyebrows slightly, smiled softly, and said softly: "Since the late concubine knows that I only care about the emperor and don't care about anything else, why does the late concubine try her best to encourage me to see the people in the palace?" ”
The evening concubine didn't answer the question, and said with a smile: "If Concubine Pu doesn't care about the people in the palace, how can she stop and listen to me say so much?" ”
Pu Yu smiled, she admitted that she did care about the people in the hall, and she also cared a little about Lin Wanwan, who had never met before.
The evening concubine did not take Puyu to the main gate of Yihe Palace, but took Puyu to an unknown palace next to Yihe Palace, and the two hid together behind the pillar of the white jade carved fence at the corner of the palace.
After waiting for a while, the door of the hall opened, and Song Jin led a woman in red out of the hall, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her eyes were cut water, and her face looked like a late concubine. The evening concubines have always smiled shallowly, and their tones are beautiful, but the woman is smiling extremely happily, bright and beautiful, and touching.
