Chapter 122
Concubine Miao lives far away, and Acacia feels that if she walks over on foot, it is estimated that she will be tired and faint halfway by this time, but she looks at Aunt Lan who has followed all the way outside the sedan chair, her legs are not trembling or short, and her walking posture is still the same as before, and she can't even see the sweat on her head at all.
"Girl, it's ...... place"
Acacia flashed a god, and when he came back to his senses, he had arrived in front of a large hall, which was different from the magnificence in the palace of the Queen Mother, even if the palace gate was very large, it was very majestic from a distance, but the faded columns, the old glazed tiles were like jewels covered with dust.
"Girl, come in quickly, the concubine must be in a hurry." Aunt Lan personally came over to help Acacia get off the sedan chair, and gave the palace maid who carried the sedan chair a few eldest sons.
The palace door opened, it was very quiet inside, Acacia noticed that although the outside looked old, but there was no sense of despair inside, the ground was very clean, the flowers and plants were also serving the vitality of Angang, there was a sense of simplicity and elegance everywhere, and this Miao Taifei must be a person who knew how to live.
"Sister Lan is back, Niangniang keeps asking." Another palace maid came over, and when she saw Aunt Lan, she said with a smile.
Aunt Lan took Acacia and entered the palace with the palace maid.
"Niangniang Xijing, there are not many of us, so we have sealed some side halls and gathered together to live." Aunt Lan saw Acacia looking at the scenery around her, so she explained in a low voice.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, the fruity aroma of bamboo wafted out, compared to the rich smell in the queen mother's palace, this seemed to be the widow of the former emperor who didn't care about the world.
"But here?" Before anyone heard the sound, Acacia stopped and saw a woman walking out of the hall quickly, her black hair was coiled up without a silver thread, her face was like silver and apricot eyes and thin lips, her body was slightly full, she was wearing plain clothes, and her body was stained with a little pink and white.
"Sanniang greets the concubine." Acacia rolled up his sleeves and knelt down to salute in a proper manner.
"What is this going to do? Where do we have so many rules here? Hurry up, help the girl up, and look at the flour in my hand. The concubine glared at Aunt Lan and said angrily.
Aunt Lan helped Acacia up and joked: "Girl, let's get up quickly, otherwise the concubine will be blamed." ”
"You'll say it!" Concubine Miao scolded with a smile.
Seeing that these two people were completely different from the attitude in Cishou Palace, Pomegranate couldn't help but pull out a smile, but he didn't want to pull the wound, so he twitched in pain.
When Concubine Miao heard this voice, she hurriedly walked over, and when she saw the swollen cheeks of the pomegranate, she hurriedly said to Aunt Lan: "Quick, quick!" Go and bring the wound medicine in my box, and then apply some cold water to her, this injury can be big or small, and if you don't get it right, you will lose your appearance. ”
Aunt Lan immediately responded, and took the pomegranate into the side door to take the medicine.
"Don't worry, although I don't have any good things here, there are still some medicinal herbs and medicines." Seeing that Acacia looked confused, Concubine Miao added: "My son is in the fief now, and there is nothing in that place, but there is medicine!" ”
Acacia reacted at this time, it turned out that Concubine Miao still had a son and was in a distant fiefdom, and it was not a good place to listen to her thoughts.
"There's one less dumpling during the Chinese New Year, isn't it? I guess it's like, come on, we're making dumplings in one place, and we'll be ready to eat them when we get out of the pot later. ”
Concubine Miao walked inside with Acacia, and there were already some elderly grandmothers and palace maids inside, who were wrapping dumplings around a round table, and the white and fat dumplings were placed on the tray, which made people have an appetite just by looking at them.
Acacia didn't know how to make dumplings, so she learned from Concubine Miao, and several people quickly made several plates, and the two grandmothers took turns to carry the tray down, and they should be ready to go to the pot.
"Wait a little longer and you'll be able to eat." After cleaning her hands for herself and Acacia, Concubine Miao changed into an equally plain coat, and the palace maid brought some dried fruits and put them in front of Acacia.
Acacia was just drinking water, and she couldn't understand what Concubine Miao wanted to do today.
Concubine Miao didn't seem to care whether Acacia was close or not, she sat opposite Acacia, looked at it several times from time to time, and then the more she looked at it, the redder her eyes became, and finally she cried in front of Acacia.
"I'm sorry......" Concubine Miao hurriedly covered her eyes, waved her hand, and choked up: "It's really too similar." ”
Acacia touched her face and asked tentatively, "Niangniang remembered the old man?" ”
Concubine Miao took control of her feelings, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "The girl is too similar to the sister of the Yang family, especially the way she spoke, it made me feel as if I had returned to many years ago." ”
"Is it really that similar?" Acacia frowned.
"After all, it's your grandmother's maiden sister, and it's not surprising that you look like her." Concubine Miao looked at Acacia at this time, as if she was looking at a junior.
Acacia hung his head slightly, and said shyly: "This time thanks to the rescue of the mother, otherwise...... Sanniang didn't know what to do. ”
Concubine Miao didn't mention Acacia when she saw it, and she was not curious about that Miss Yang, she was puzzled, but she also felt that Acacia was young, but she was cautious and smart.
"Don't be so polite, I know your grandmother, and Sister Yang is also an old acquaintance, looking at you is like looking at my children and grandchildren, but she is the queen mother in the end...... It's not like I didn't want to help. ”
Acacia got up and saluted gratefully: "In any case, thank you Niangniang for your help this time, but this time because Sanniang offended the Queen Mother, will Niangniang be in the way?" ”
Concubine Miao was not in a hurry, first let Acacia sit down again, and then said with disdain: "Her purpose is just to let you stay in the palace, I will take you over as a guest, even if she has an opinion, it is not good to say much, the women in the harem back then, were sent away by her, and derogatory reprimands, I can live in the palace safely, I have my own reasons." Don't worry, just wait for the days to go home with all the mustaches and tails. ”
Acacia originally wanted to say some more words, but after thinking that she and the concubine were only meeting for the first time, if it seemed too urgent, she was afraid of falling into some trap, so it was better to wait and see what happened, as long as she could go out, she would have the opportunity to know the truth.
Seeing that Acacia no longer said a word, let alone flattery, Concubine Miao looked at her higher, waited for the dumplings to cook, and she took Acacia to sit at a table and have a meal.
Concubine Miao's bedroom is much better than the abandoned dilapidated house in the side hall of the Queen Mother, not only put on silk and satin again, but also slept on a high bed and soft pillows, lovesickness never said much, only quietly read and write every day, patience is obviously much better than that of girls of the same age. She's waiting...... Wait for the day when Mohedge fulfills its promise.
The spring flowers are blooming, and finally the season of winter clothes is gone, and the originally bare garden reveals a touch of different shades of green, and the flower bones have opened the buds, wafting the fragrance of flowers for the first time in spring.
Acacia lives in Concubine Miao's bedroom, and every day in addition to being alone, she also follows Concubine Miao to make vegetable and flower arrangements, or take care of the garden, taste tea and make tea, and listen to the story about the Yang girl.
Concubine Miao is just like Acacia thinks, is a very good person to live, her young son died when the emperor was young, she watched her adult son be sent to the fief alone, worried about her son's safety all year round, but she still lived a very elegant life, and her cheeks were full of smiles every day.
She said that she and Princess Yang used to be old acquaintances, but she was still young when she met her, she said that she once wanted to escape from marriage before entering the palace, but was met by Princess Yang, to avoid a disaster, and did not affect the family, she not only has sisterhood for Princess Yang, but also is full of gratitude.
She also said that she used to be an impetuous little girl, who couldn't stay in the house all day, and then she was going to enter the palace, and it was Princess Yang who often came to teach her and accompany her, so that her temperament became more and more calm, and her daily pastime became more and more like Princess Yang.
It's just that no matter how she is, she can't be a person like Princess Yang, so that in addition to her face, even her temper is very similar.
Acacia just listened, looking at the envy and longing in her eyes, she never knew what happened so many years ago, and she didn't feel like anyone, she only knew that she would become the temper and appearance she is now, all because of rebirth, and it was also the teaching of Mo Li's previous life.
In fact, after she was reborn, she most wanted to be a person who could endure like Mo Li.
Good food and good living, the days naturally pass like flowing water, but as the days go by, the original calm lovesickness finally shows a little apprehension when there are no outsiders, if she is not miscalculated, in a few days, Meng Xintong should get married.
"Girl, don't embroider, we won't be able to go back in time." Pomegranate looked at the acacia and sat under the lamp at night embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks, and said distressedly.
"I have long promised my eldest sister to embroider a mandarin duck purse for her, but I have not been skilled in my craft, and I have been confined in the palace these days, until I have practiced a little bit. It can be seen that people are all about pushing. Acacia said half-jokingly: "Even if she can't go to the wedding day, when we leave the palace in the future, there will always be a time to make up for it." ”
Pomegranate saw that she couldn't be persuaded, so she bent down and picked up the basin with the clothes and went out, now the dirty clothes after the acacia bath do not need to be washed except for the dirty clothes, and the rough envoy in this palace will help her, only need her to run an errand.
As soon as the pomegranate walked on her front foot, Acacia threw herself wholeheartedly into her purse, and her usual vigilance was a little less, until a breath of blood accompanied by that familiar smell that she shivered and pricked her fingers.
"Shhh
A hand wrapped in gauze held her, the young man seemed to have not taken a bath for several days, his head and hands were wrapped in gauze, and the blood was red through the dirty fabric, where is this still a beautiful man with a good demeanor on weekdays?
"Where's the injury? It's all bleeding, hurry up, where's the wound medicine? Mo Liang held Acacia's hand, and he was anxious to turn in circles.
Acacia pulled his hand, wiped it on the placket at will, then pulled Mo Li's hand and said viciously: "Say! Where have you been these days, how have you made yourself like this! ”
