Chapter 34 Self-Calculation
The next day, Yangyun asked Zhu'er to grind ink, and only said that he wanted to practice calligraphy, but what he wrote was Yuan Zhen's "Leaving Thoughts".
Especially the sentence "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud", I wrote two pages until my wrist was sore and I couldn't hold the pen anymore.
Zhu'er asked Shen'er if she wanted to get another box, and Shen'er shook her head.
"Everything I wrote last time was packed in a box." Zhu'er whispered.
Shen'er shook her head again, walked to Yang Yun's side gently, only glanced at Yang Yun deeply, then lowered her head and folded a few pages of paper, took it to the charcoal stove and burned them all.
Zhu'er's eyes widened, and she hurriedly looked at Yang Yun, but she couldn't see any expression on her.
Since she entered the palace at the age of six to be Yang Xiao's companion, Zhu'er had only seen her like this before Yang Yun got married, she was clearly full of worries, but her face was as cold as ice.
Zhu'er suddenly felt that maybe what Niangniang wanted was never what she and Yin'er expected.
There was no news from Wu Chengsu for a day, and Yin'er was a little overwhelmed when she saw Yangyun like this, and quietly inquired where Wu Chengsu was and what he was doing during the day.
It was Chun Tao who went out to find out the news. Relying on her young age, Chun Tao only said that she would go to the garden to play, squatting by the lake and chatting with a few of the little waiters in the palace who liked to inquire the most, pretending to ask questions inadvertently.
"It's winter vacation, and I don't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taking a break, and I'm so busy all day. Isn't it true that the higher the status, the more things will happen? Chun Tao munched on a pack of freshly made broad beans, slurring in her mouth.
The little chamberlain looked at the broad bean and swallowed his saliva, and laughed for a long time, before saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only has to deal with the affairs of the East Palace every day, but also has to participate in many matters in the court.
Chun Tao turned her head to look at the little waiter who spoke, frowned and thought for a long time before asking:
"Isn't the matter of the East Palace decided by the queen? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs to worry about? โ
Another small chamberlain hurriedly replied: "I heard Ding San of Chongren Hall say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone to the records of everyone in the East Palace in the past few days, and he is slowly watching it." After speaking, he also glanced at the bag of broad beans.
Ding San's original name was Ding Xin, because he was in the family for three years, and his two brothers were also clean and served as internal servants, and his name was three gold, and he was called Ding San by everyone. And Ding San insisted on saying a few words in order to show that he was following the prince, and he didn't know.
"Where did I get the news? What Ding San said is not credible! Chun Tao pursed her lips as she spoke, and grabbed two more broad beans to chew.
"How can't you believe it!" mentioned Ding San's little chamberlain and saw the news that Chun Tao doubted him, and his face turned red, "It's Ding San who went to help hand over the file to the Chongwen Pavilion!" โ
"More than that," said a small chamberlain who had not spoken, "I also heard that Jiang Neishou specially instructed everyone not to go in without a summons." Anyone who comes to invite, unless it is sent by the queen's mother, nothing else is allowed to be passed on! โ
Chun Tao didn't know how much news Yin'er wanted, but she always felt that these were enough, so she said, "If you eat too much, your stomach will be uncomfortable", and she gave all the packets of beans that Yin'er gave her to the few little attendants, and walked around before returning to the Bafeng Palace.
After Yin'er heard the news, she knew what to expect, and told Chun Tao not to say anything to anyone, and grabbed a handful of dried fruits for her and asked her to go back to work.
Jinhua asked where Chun Tao went, and Chun Tao said that she had taken some fruits for Yin'er and came back, and she really didn't leak any rumors. Watching Chun Tao bounce away, Jin Hua was nothing, but Yu Ye sneered.
Yangyun woke up from a nap, and Yin'er came in to talk.
"Niangniang, when you were taking a nap just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked someone to send the piano again, and the slave didn't dare to refuse, so she could only accept it first, and now it is on the table in the main hall."
"Go back." Yang Yun was expressionless when he said this.
"Do you want to go back?" Yin'er was a little worried and couldn't help asking.
Yang Yun leaned on the side of the bed, stared at the quilt with his eyes, and said coldly:
"Go back."
Yin'er didn't dare to persuade again, and asked why she told the prince this time that she would not accept it.
"Don't say anythingโ" Yang Yun paused and continued, "just say that I have two good pianos and don't need this." Even if you want to kowtow to make amends, you can't get Jiao Weiqin back. โ
After following Yangyun for so long, Yin'er was a little confused for the first time, and I don't know if Yangyun was because the prince suddenly hurt his face the day before yesterday, or because he was worried about Zhou Yi, the second son of Wei. Or do you want to take over the two kings and lords, and use the desire to indulge?
Yin'er took the qin to Chongwen Pavilion, and was really nervous, but fortunately, Wu Chengsu was just stunned for a moment and put the qin away again. Yin'er came back to restore her life, but Yang Yun only nodded, and she couldn't see any emotion on her face.
At the end of the winter vacation, Wu Chengsu has to go to court every day, discuss matters in the Mingde Hall as usual in the afternoon, read and practice calligraphy in the Chongwen Hall before and after dinner, and stay in the palaces at night, or serve as a concubine in the Chengen Palace.
In the first two months after the winter vacation, Wei Liangdi's body was not good enough to serve Wu Chengsu, but he was cheaper than other concubines, and he was almost lucky, and Wei was good, Wu Chengsu stayed in Yiqiu Palace for three nights in a row, and then went to stay for one night every other day.
Everyone is thinking that Wei's may be going to have it again, and although everyone's eyes are hot, they are more than the next.
Wu Chengsu hadn't been to the Eight Phoenix Hall for three months, let alone staying overnight, he hadn't even had a meal, and he didn't send anything anymore, not even a fan pendant.
Yang Yun didn't want to, and concentrated on copying poems and painting every day. The poems were burned by pendants and pearls, but the paintings were rolled up and thrown into the ochre vat. In three months, she finished drawing two volumes, and the third volume had already started, and she was really bored to see her.
The first two months were fine, Wei Liangdi was not happy, Wu Chengsu did not favor one over the other, and no one thought much about Yangyun. Wei Liangdi is still the only pet when she is in good health, and Yangyun is neglected in every way, and the women in the palace are bored for a long time, so they can't help but compare Yangyun and Wei.
Wu Yue heard about it from somewhere, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he left Wu Chengsu and taught him a lesson in front of the queen Qian, asking him to treat the princess well.
However, Wu Chengsu returned to the East Palace or went his own way, and five out of ten days would stay directly in Chongren Hall because of busy affairs, and in the remaining five days, he still stayed in Yiqiu Palace a lot.
The ladies of the East Palace fell to the Wei family without a trace, although they didn't dare to be too disrespectful to Yangyun, they often came late to greet them in the morning, and there were a few headaches and brain fever every day, and suddenly they couldn't come.
Yin'er was angry, and tried to persuade Yangyun a few times, but if it really didn't work, he still stroked the qin, and used the sound of the piano to attract Wu Chengsu to come over, but Yangyun didn't seem to hear it, and ignored it.
In the blink of an eye, April 28 is Yangyun's birthday, when she will be fifteen, which is the year of Jiji. The queen started the Yangyun ceremony early in the morning, and prepared three sets of clothes for the day of the ceremony a year ago, and the guests and praisers also invited famous wives.
Yangyun once thought of asking Duan Liangyuan to be the praiser, but the queen had already decided to be her niece, Qian Huijun, a lady who was famous in Yandu.
