Chapter 11: Eternal Longevity Palace
Sang Zhi is familiar with Yongshou Palace, and the little eunuch at the door is already very familiar with her, but he doesn't recognize the green warbler. However, these little eunuchs naturally had a little bit of eyes, and when they saw the green warbler and the mulberry branch coming together, they secretly thought to themselves about the weight of the green warbler and said hello, "Mulberry branch girl, the two girls are good." ”
Sang Zhi saw that their expressions were quite restrained, and said with a smile, "Hello two fathers-in-law, this is the green warbler of Chengqian Palace, and I have come to ask Concubine Jing for peace." ”
"Coincidentally, Aunt Cai from Kunning Palace is also there." The little eunuch said, "Wait, you two, let Xiao go and report." ”
After a while, the little eunuch came back with a sad face, "Concubine Jing said that she is busy today and must not be free." ”
Since he was almost poisoned last time, Sang Zhi has hardly been embarrassed when he comes back, and this time he can't help but be surprised, "Don't see?" ”
The little eunuch nodded.
Lu Ying's face was a little unsightly, but she quickly eased her expression and said with a smile, "Please ask my father-in-law to report again, although the mother is busy first, it is not too late to summon the slave and maid when she has time." "It means waiting.
Sang Zhi looked at her, and it was not easy to speak, so he had to stay silent with her. The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off, so he reported again, and when he came back, he said, "Niangniang said, then wait." ”
And so on from evening till nightfall. Seeing that the curfew was coming, Concubine Jing still didn't have the slightest intention of summoning her. Sang Zhi's legs were stiff, and the swishing of the October night wind made both her and the green warbler shiver. Sang Zhi was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Are you still waiting?" ”
"Wait." Lu Ying's voice was extremely resolute, "It's Niangniang's business that Niangniang refuses to summon me, if I don't do my best when I go back, I will definitely be punished." ”
Sang Zhi frowned, "I heard that the imperial concubine Niangniang has always been benevolent, so she won't be ......."
Lu Ying shook her head slightly, "The imperial concubine is the assistant of the six palaces, and the rewards and punishments are clear." Although he is kind, he will never be tolerated if he does something wrong. What's more, the Qianqiu Festival is not a trivial matter, and there is no difference between the pool, if Concubine Jing Niangniang does not work hard in advance, in case of an accident tomorrow, don't say me, even the entire Chengqian Palace may not be easy to explain. ”
Sang Zhi listened to it and felt dull for a while.
Two little eunuchs, look at me, I'll look at you, flattering, "Miss Green Ying don't have to worry too much, who doesn't know that the grace of Chengqian Palace is the strongest, and the ...... of Kunning Palace" The eunuch lowered his voice, "I'm afraid that the emperor will not be happy with this Thousand Autumn Festival." Even if Yongshou Palace really makes trouble tomorrow, it will not be Chengqian Palace who will be punished. ”
Lu Ying sighed, "No matter how prosperous the honor is, he is also a person from the harem." The harem is not talking about the Chengqian Palace, and there are ......" paused, "What's more, the imperial concubine Niangniang is the most important to lead by, and never allows the Chengqian Palace to exceed the rules." ”
The little eunuch said, "That's that, otherwise how could the imperial concubine be so favored?" is not pampered and arrogant, but also kind-hearted, everyone in the palace praises the imperial concubine for her kindness! ”
As he spoke, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. Several people raised their eyes and saw that it was Aunt Cai Wanyun of Kunning Palace. Cai Wanyun's face was expressionless, but when she walked in front of several people, her eyes were like knives.
The two little eunuchs were already in a cold sweat of fright. The green warbler is neither humble nor arrogant, "I've seen Aunt Cai." ”
Sang Zhi also hurriedly followed suit.
Cai Wanyun looked at the green warbler, "Chengqian Palace's? ”
"Yes." The green warbler's voice was extremely respectful.
Cai Wanyun said "um" and stopped talking. When he moved his gaze to Sang Zhi's face, he paused, "You too?" ”
"Back to my aunt's words, yes." The mulberry branch is also low-browed.
Cai Wanyun's eyes changed, "I actually went to Chengqian Palace, heh," sneered, "It's also a blessing." ”
Presumably recognized himself, Sang Zhi thought to himself, after all, he had a relationship with Xin Zheku.
I heard Cai Wanyun say in a cold tone, "Fools have foolish blessings." ”
"......" The corners of Sang Zhi's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head more and more. Dare to remember not only yourself, but also your clumsiness that day!
After saying this, Cai Wanyun left without looking back.
The twilight was silent, and a dreary atmosphere spread. After waiting for a while, I saw a little palace maid coming out of it, and saw the green warbler and mulberry branch and said angrily, "I haven't left yet." ”
Sang Zhi was about to smile and speak, when the little palace maid suddenly stretched out a finger, "If you want to come, you can only come one." Come in two and disturb the mother's purity. Take care of it yourself. ”
Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the green warbler glanced at her and said in a low voice, "It's not early, sister, let's go back first." ”
"Yourself...... All right? "Mulberry is a little worried. Yongshou Palace is really accustomed to people who are embarrassed to accept the Qiangong Palace, and the green warbler treats her well, how can she not worry about the green warbler.
Green Ying's eyes softened, and she smiled, "Sister, don't worry." ”
"Otherwise, I'll go for you."
Green Ying held her hand, and her smile softened, "Sister is good for me, I know." But this is an important task that I have to do it myself. ”
Sang Zhi pursed his lips and compromised, "Then, I'll wait for you outside." ”
"No," said the green warbler softly, "I'm afraid that the curfew will pass later, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back." ”
Also. Sang Zhi thought about it and had no choice but to say, "Take care of yourself." ”
The green warbler chuckled, "It's not a terrible thing, sister, don't worry." ”
The little palace maid waiting at the gate of Yongshou Palace said impatiently, "Have you discussed it?" If you delay any longer, don't go. ”
Only then did the green warbler say, "I'll go." Giving Sang Zhi a reassuring look, he followed the palace maid in.
The little eunuch saw that Sang Zhi was guarding for a while, and then said, "Miss Sang Zhi go back quickly, otherwise it will be really difficult to go back." ”
Mulberry branches are not good to delay any longer. She is different from Lu Ying, Lu Ying came out to do errands on orders, with the imperial concubine Niangniang's dictation, even if she went back a little later, the palace people did not dare not give face. But she is different, her status is low, even if she serves in Chengqian Palace to the end, she has no seniority, and no one will be willing to sell her face. Thinking like this, Sang Zhi had no choice but to leave on his own.
The night was darker, Sang Zhi quickened his pace, just after passing the Longfu Gate to the corner of Yikun Palace, he suddenly heard a crisp shout, the sound was not loud, but the words were clear, "Sang Branch!" ”
When Sang Zhi turned around, he was surprised and delighted, "Sule! She took a few steps forward and grabbed Soler's hand, "Why are you here?" But he frowned and said, "Your hands are so cold, why don't you wear more clothes." ”
Sole's eyes curled, "You're teaching me a lesson." ”
Sang Zhi paused, and the corners of his lips hooked into a smile, "Yes, teach you a lesson!" I came out so late and didn't know how to wear more clothes. ”
Take a closer look, the palace maid's clothes on Su Le's body are crooked and not properly worn, and when his eyes fall on Su Le's feet, Sang Zhi's eyes tightened.
The exposed part of the gold wire outlined seemed to be half of a bird's wings, and the mulberry branches could not be seen clearly in the night, but it was clear that this was by no means an ordinary identity to wear.
Su Le looked down with Mulberry Branch's gaze, and quietly shrank back, looking at Mulberry Branch with burning eyes.
Sang Zhi lowered his eyes and pretended not to care about her collar, "I haven't put on my clothes yet, will I be scolded when I go back like this?" ”
Soler blinked, "If you don't get caught, you probably won't." ”
Sang Zhi's hand moved, "What if you catch it?" ”
"Caught ......," Surler pursed his lips disappreciatively, "and it doesn't hurt." She looked into Sangzhi's eyes, "Don't worry." ”
Sang Zhi sighed softly, held Su Le's hand and rubbed it for her, "In the future, don't come." In case something happens......" Sang Zhi's voice lowered, "Sule, I'm very happy to have you as a friend, but in the palace, it's better to be careful." ”
The corners of Sole's lips curled, "You're worried about me?" ”
"Yes," Sang Zhi smiled at her, and laughed with her, "Although you are still young, you still have to abide by the rules." Otherwise, you will be punished, right? She thought that even if Surle was a Gege, running around in the clothes of a palace maid like this would be a great crime to lose royal face, and it would be difficult to escape punishment.
"I can do whatever I want." Soller was a little stubborn, "Just do it." "Her whole life will be ruined in this deep palace, if she can't even find fun for herself, then how can she survive the rest of her life for so many years!
This was said willfully, Sang Zhiwan'er, pinched her nose, "You! In that case, be more careful in the future. It's almost curfew, so let's go back. He also said, "Tomorrow is the Thousand Autumn Festival, and I am afraid that you will be busy at that time, so you should rest early." ”
Surler disagreed, "What's the meaning of the Thousand Autumn Festival." ”
"Don't you dare to talk nonsense!" Sang Zhi hurriedly said, "I heard that the Qianqiu Festival is the birthday of the queen's mother, and it is a big day for the whole world to celebrate." ”
Su Le snorted coldly, "What the whole world celebrates, but who really cares." ”
"Of course someone cares." Sang Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Even if no one in this palace is sincere, at least the queen's family is sincerely blessed." Moreover, there are also us palace maids, who are also sincerely blessed. Sole, you can't think of people so ruthlessly. ”
"Is there still a place in the palace?" Su Le didn't know what he meant but didn't dwell on this, he only flashed his eyes, "You haven't received her favor, and you will be sincere?" ”
"Who says you have to be benefited to be sincere?" Sang Zhi frowned and said, "Although I don't know each other, and I'm not in the Queen's Palace, what's so difficult about sending a birthday wish sincerely?" It's a stranger, and when you meet someone's birthday, you will really bless it. Mulberry couldn't understand Sole, "You're not?" ”
Surle bit her lip and turned her head to say, "There is nothing more sincere than me." ”
provoked Sang Zhi to chuckle, "You can talk." ”
Su Le glanced at her, "The birthday you just said is the birthday?" ”
"Yes." Sang Zhi thought for a while, "Sule, you can't say such disrespectful words as 'her' to the queen's mother, you must use honorific titles, so as not to cause trouble from your mouth." ”
Surle was noncommittal, "I haven't seen you for a while, but you are becoming more and more regular." ”
"People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." Sang Zhi sighed with emotion, "Okay, it's not too early, if I don't go back, I'm afraid I'm really going to sleep on the streets." Go back quickly, too. ”
Surer should be down.
Sangzhi said goodbye to her, and did not look back to see which direction Sole was going. But suddenly he heard Su Le behind him whisper, "Are you willing to go to Kunning Palace?" ”
Sang Zhi paused, "What? She was a little stunned.
"Nothing." Su Le's eyes lowered and he smiled slightly, "Let's go." ”
