Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Matter of Mei Xiang
I've been staying in the house since the last banquet and haven't been out much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As for when Qi Junxuan left the Northern Desert, of course I don't know. I always feel that if I don't want to have anything to do with a person in this life, then it's best not to ignore it, so sometimes I choose to be a stranger than the most familiar stranger.
It took me a few days to embroider a sachet for Chenxi, this is the first time I embroidered a sachet for a man, I put some dried magnolia petals in the sachet, the fragrance is light and elegant, I heard that the sachet is given to others in addition to asking for good fortune, there is also a statement of love, I hope this sachet, Chenxi will like it, so as to know my mind.
But there's still one thing that's not finished.,Just take advantage of today's fine.,So I stayed alone in the house and finished the rest of the embroidery as soon as possible.,In this way,You can give it to Chen Xi as soon as possible.,Thinking about this.,My heart is inexplicably happy.,I don't know what kind of reaction Chen Xi will have when he receives the sachet I gave him.。
After a while, I embroidered the sachet and looked at the sachet in front of me, very satisfied.
At this time, Qianping returned.
As soon as she entered the door, she was not as lively and talkative as usual, but it would be a lot quieter.
"Why did you go out with Jinqiu and come back so soon?" I asked casually, I usually go out shopping, Qianping will go shopping for a long time before returning home, it's strange today, I came back with Jinqiu so early.
"There's nothing to do too, so I'm back." Qianping replied.
I nodded, but did not speak, but my eyes were fixed on the sachet in my hand, and I did not notice Qianping's expression of wanting to speak and stopping.
"Princess..........." Qianping couldn't help but speak.
"Huh?"
"Today, when I was shopping with Jinqiu, I saw the personal palace maid of the former Concubine Jin." Qianping thought about it and simply said it.
Qianping's words made a name flash in my mind, Mei Xiang?
I remember this palace maid, she has been to the palace, and she is a personal palace maid by the side of Concubine Jin, so she is very impressed. However, since Concubine Jin died of illness, she has not seen this palace maid again. Today, Qianping talked about this person, which immediately caught my attention.
"Are you talking about Mei Xiang?" I turned to her and asked.
"Well, yes, I know her, she was the one who came to our palace to pick you up from the palace when I went to see Concubine Jin." Qianping said that Qianping has always remembered well, and she said yes, it shouldn't be wrong.
"By the way, what is she doing on the street?" Because she was the personal palace maid of Concubine Jin, she inevitably asked a few more questions.
"It wasn't far away at the time, and there were eunuchs and consuls who came with her, maybe they came out to procure, but ............" Speaking of this, Qianping suddenly stopped.
"But what?" I asked, I always felt that Qianping's words today were strange, not as direct as usual.
"Although it's not close, I can see that Mei Xiang's face is a little haggard, and it doesn't seem to be doing well."
It turns out that because of this, I didn't have the heart to go shopping.
Bad off? My mind is full of question marks, how could it be? Anyway, she is also the personal palace maid next to Concubine Jin, how can she have a bad life?
"Can you see clearly?" I asked.
"Well, I can't be mistaken." Qianping affirmed with a face, "Maybe people go to tea and cool, and when Concubine Jin leaves, there is no master to rely on, and naturally it will not be as good as in the past." ”
When I still couldn't figure it out, Qianping's few words reminded me, yes, as soon as Concubine Jin left, there was no one in the palace to talk to, so she naturally had to be bullied.
Especially when encountering some people who bully others, the palace is already a place where people are deceived and bullied, and there is no master to rely on, so the sin can be imagined.
No matter how heavy the quilt is in front of Concubine Jin on weekdays, as soon as Concubine Jin leaves, everything is back to the prototype, and she can no longer achieve the scenery of the past.
In my impression, Mei Xiang, the palace maid, seems to be a sensible and measured person, when Concubine Jin Niangniang was alive, she also tried her best to think about the master and protect the lord wholeheartedly, and now that the master is gone, only she is still in the palace to continue the fate of being a palace maid.
"I heard Jinqiu say that Mei Xiang is now on an errand with Concubine Rong, and it is said that Concubine Rong was specially asked for someone at that time." Qianping said suddenly, and then looked at me.
I was a little surprised, I didn't think that Mei Xiang was now assigned to Concubine Rong as an errand, and Concubine Rong specially asked people to pass.
I understand what Qianping meant by saying this, so that a lady can ask for a palace maid, which shows the degree of "attention" to this person, from my coming to the Northern Desert to seeing Concubine Jin, and then meeting Concubine Rong, the grievances and grievances between the two are no longer a secret, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than for who can get some more favor from the emperor. But there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and how many people can be like my father and the emperor who only love their mother. It's a pity that why after living most of their lives, these people still can't really see it through?
I have been fighting for most of my life, do I still have to live in such an obsession for the rest of my life?
Suddenly, I felt some sympathy for this palace maid named Mei Xiang, a person who could not control her own destiny in the end, and a person who lived cautiously under the eyes of others.
"Princess, or ........" At this point, Qianping suddenly stopped talking.
Of course I understand what this girl wants to say, she thinks Mei Xiang is a little similar to herself, and she sympathizes with each other. So in addition to sympathy, if she can, she is very willing to help Mei Xiang, but as a palace maid, what can she do? Her strength is always small and can't help anything, so she is also powerless.
"You want me to help this palace maid named Mei Xiang, right?" I asked her why Qianping stopped talking about it, maybe because she realized that this matter would also make me embarrassed, after all, the person she was facing was Concubine Rong. The matter of Jinqiu last time was an exception, and if it was because of Mei Xiang's matter again this time, I don't know if the result would be as smooth as last time.
Sure enough, Qianping nodded in response, she wanted to help this palace maid.
Looking at Qianping's earnest eyes, I couldn't bear to disappoint her, besides, I was the person of Concubine Jin's mother, so it is reasonable, I shouldn't let it go, although it is nosy, but if you turn a blind eye, you know that it is wrong, how to convince yourself.
"But what do I do?" I muttered to myself, I was in trouble for a while, you must know that Concubine Rong is not a good talker, if it wasn't for Chen Xi and the third master last time, wouldn't it be solved smoothly, this time it is estimated that it will not be so easy.
"Is it feasible to try the fourth master? The fourth master is so smart, there will definitely be a way. Qianping suggested.
Chenhee?
Yes, he has always had a lot of ideas, maybe he has a way, and suddenly he seems to see hope. But he seems to be very busy these days, and as for what he is busy with, I think it is nothing more than a matter of government affairs.
But after thinking about it, he is already so busy, if I still go to bother him with trivial matters, won't it make him even more annoyed, thinking about this, I can't bear it, I can't help him with anything, and I also add to his blockage, and I always feel a little unhappy in my heart.
"Forget it, don't bother him about this, let me think about it!" I say.
I think, don't tell Chenxi about this, there will always be a way.
Suddenly, Qianping said, "Princess, is this thing embarrassing for you?" If it doesn't work, just assume that Qianping didn't say it. She rubbed her head at the corners of her clothes, like a child who had done something wrong.
I knew that she was afraid that I would embarrass the man, so she thought about giving up.
But I know her, if she really gives up, I'm afraid that when she thinks about it in the future, in addition to regrets, she will also regret her original decision.
I comforted Qianping and said, "You have followed me for so many years, have you ever seen anything that Princess Ben can't do?" Rest assured, nothing can stump me yet. ”
"Really?" When Qianping heard me say this, she asked in disbelief.
"You girl, when did you see me break my word?"
Qianping thought about it for a while, as if she was trying to search for something in her mind, maybe she really didn't find any traces of breaking her promise, and a look of joy gradually appeared on her face, as if she was relieved.
Even though I said that, I was still a little worried in my heart, would Concubine Rong be so easy to talk this time?
