Chapter 8 Looking forward to it
"Okay." Yu Yuqing turned around and greeted a few picking girls, and then left with Yu Shunning, but she was speculating about the other party's thoughts in her heart. Entering the house, Yu Shun said lightly: "Sit down!" Yu Yuqing answered and sat down opposite her. I wonder what the eldest sister called me for? Yu Shun stared out of the door, and seemed a little cautious: "I've thought about it carefully in the past few days, on the day when the queen mother invited the maiden to the girl, you also saw it, Xing Ruolan and the others clearly had a premeditated plan to befriend the queen mother, but there were many people who flattered the concubine." So who do you think is more reliable, the queen or the concubine? This question made Yu Yuqing really surprised, she didn't expect Yu Shunning to ask her about it. She smiled: "What does the eldest sister think?" Yu Shunning looked a little embarrassed: "The queen leads the harem mother of the world, and it is ideal to follow her as a backer." However, Concubine Yuan Shu is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and she can say ten or a hundred sentences to Her Majesty. Alas, I don't know what to choose now? "Why is the eldest sister looking for me in this matter?" Yu Yuqing suddenly asked, this was indeed the doubt in her heart. Yu Shunning raised her right hand, pointed to the group of picking girls outside the door and sighed: "Don't ask you, do you want me to ask those strangers?" "Eldest sister...... "Yu Yuqing doesn't know what to say." Anyway, you and I are family. Entering the palace is no better than being outside, people's hearts are sinister, and when dealing with those people, you have to be calculating. In the future, in this palace, if something happens to you, my eldest sister will also suffer, and it is strange that the people in the palace do not take the opportunity to bully me. So we're going to help each other, aren't we? Although these words should sound very kind, there was no cordial feeling on Yu Shunning's face. Yu Yuqing nodded seriously: "The eldest sister is right." But I couldn't help sneering in my heart: At this time, I said that it was a family? When I was in the Jade Mansion before, I have been getting along day and night for more than ten years, why have I never seen a word to myself that I am a family? If you only snort and drink to her Yu Yuqing, it would be okay, but Yu Shunning still treated her second mother Jing Niang coldly, and did not care about her father Yu Yanqing's body, and often sneered at Yu Yuqing's mother and daughter with her eldest mother, which disturbed her father and sighed again and again. And now that she is in the palace, she remembers the words "family"? And the reason why Yu Shunning said this was just because she was afraid that she would be implicated if Yu Yuqing made a mistake. This is actually the so-called sister?! As soon as I thought of this, my anger was so hot that it was about to erupt from my chest. "If only you knew my mind." Yu Shunning smiled slightly, but her expression was very arrogant. "Eldest sister, don't worry, outsiders won't bully our sisters." Yu Yuqing quietly looked at the group of fat and thin girls outside the door. Xia Pianpian had been waiting for Yu Yuqing, and when she saw her walking out of Yu Shunning's house, she hurriedly chased after her and asked Yu Shunning what she said. Yu Yuqing shook her head, only saying that Yu Shunning asked her about when the canonization list would be announced. As soon as she said this, Xia Pianpian frowned: "Alas, I don't think the queen will think of me no matter what, and I don't know when and when I can see Your Majesty." She put her right hand on her cheek, looking at the clouds in the sky and lost her mind. Hee-hee, I haven't seen Majesty yet, you can't wait? Yu Yuqing bent down to look at Xia Pianpian, covered her mouth and smiled. Who doesn't want to see His Majesty when they enter the palace? My father can count on me to become a concubine one day, so as to glorify the lintel of our Xia family! "Don't worry, didn't the queen mother say it? No matter who it is, sooner or later you will see Your Majesty! At most, let Xing Ruolan and the others see it first. Yu Yuqing comforted a few words, but sighed secretly in her heart: What if you see the emperor? With so many women in the harem, how many of them can make the emperor care? Xia Pianpian pursed her mouth and did not answer, lying on the table weakly basking in the sun. "Yo, it's only been a few days since I entered the palace, but I want to see Your Majesty more than we all want." With the sound of "giggles", a crisp sound suddenly came. Yu Yuqing looked sideways, and sure enough, it was Cui An'an. "What, no?" Xia Pianpian saw that it was Cui An'an, and said angrily. "It's okay, but how can it be so good?" Cui Anan twisted his handkerchief and sat next to Xia Pianpian. "That's right." Xia Pianpian deliberately lengthened her voice. "Eh, seriously, do you know when the Queen Mother will let us move somewhere else?" Cui Anan suddenly lowered his voice and said. "So you're asking about this?" Xia Pianpian suddenly felt a little funny. "What, no?" Cui Anan replied in Xia Pianpian's tone just now. "Yes, yes, but you're asking the wrong person. If you want to ask, you should also ask Xing Ruolan or Liu Qingyan, aren't they deeply appreciated by the queen's mother? If there is any news, they must know it first! Xia Pianpian turned her head and pointed to Xing Ruolan, who was practicing dance steps in the distance, surrounded by several picking girls, cheering twice from time to time. And Liu Qingyan, who was playing chess, was also surrounded by several picking girls, discussing in a whisper from time to time. "They? Forget it! Cui Anan shook his head. Look at the little girls beside them, no one in the family is a general, no one is a big official, and their family background is not as good as others, so they stammered with them if they couldn't climb the queen's mother! But I'm not going to go with these people! Cui Anan was a little disdainful. Oh? Xia Pianpian was a little suspicious: It stands to reason that Cui An'an's family is rich, and her father is not expensive because he is rich in business, so he found a way to donate a master book to be a master, but after all, the official rank is too far behind Xing Ruolan and them, and Cui Anan should be close to them. But it seems that after being in Xiyuan for so long, I haven't seen Cui Anan take the initiative to contact them. Before Cui An'an could answer anything, a long voice floated over from afar: "The queen's decree has arrived!" And they all knelt down to obey the commandment. The one who came to announce the decree was Gonggong Mu, the head of the Fengcheng Palace next to the queen. It turned out that yesterday the Empress Dowager Ning was ill and unwell, so the queen decided to postpone the period of recommending candidates for canonization, and the emperor also decided not to call the current year's women, and fasted for three days. As soon as the will was given, some of the playful pickers immediately became excited. "It's okay now, you can finally go out of the palace to have fun." "It's like, it's going to be beautiful in the countryside this season." "And it's to go to Xishan Wannian Temple, that's a royal temple, I used to hear how magnificent this place is when I was in my hometown, and now I can actually see it with my own eyes, it's great!" "......" "Sister Yu, Xishan is a famous mountain, and this Wannian Temple, how can ordinary people have a chance to see it?" I think we're so lucky this time! Xia Pianpian couldn't hold back her words, and she was overjoyed. What's so lucky, didn't the Queen Mother's illness make Her Majesty postpone the time to call for women? I said Xia Pianpian, haven't you always wanted to see Your Majesty? Why are you so happy now? Cui Anan said lukewarmly on the side. I ......" Xia Pian was speechless for a while. "Okay, okay, can you say a few words?" Yu Yuqing was overwhelmed and glared at Cui An'an. "I'm not wrong!" Cui Annu pouted, not reluctant. "Please be quiet!" Father-in-law Mu raised his voice, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. "Ladies and gentlemen, on this trip, I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds. The outside of the palace is not as good as the palace, although there are internal guards to protect it from time to time, but after all, it is outside, and everyone is not deeply involved in the world, so our family is afraid that it is easy to have accidents. What you go out to represent is the demeanor of our dynasty, and your every move has a bearing on the dignity of our dynasty. Especially in front of ordinary people, it is important to remember this. So no matter whether it is a big thing or a small thing in the end, it is not good for yourself and the court. If you have any words, I believe you all understand, right? "Understood, Grandpa Mu." The girls replied in unison. "It's good that everyone understands. The queen mother specially explained to our family, and she must give you thousands of instructions. Our family also hopes that the mother's worries are superfluous, so the girls must not let the mother down! "Thank you, Queen, for your grace." "Then our family will rest assured. Let's go back and pack up and get ready to leave the day after tomorrow! After finishing the dotting, Gonggong Mu bowed slightly to the maids, and turned around to leave amid the congratulations of the maids, followed by a large group of palace maids. This is the case in the palace, the higher your status, the more people will follow you. Someone suddenly sighed. But if you fall, the more painful it will be! Someone else sighed. Yu Yuqing was a little distracted when she heard these words, but she was pulled away by the excited Xia Pianpian and went back to the house to pack up.
