Chapter Seventy-One: Shungui Pothos

Looking at the emperor's back as he drifted away, the cuttlefish's eyes were full of reluctance, and for a long time, until she could no longer see it, she was willing to withdraw her gaze, lowered her head and secretly rejoiced.

It turns out that the emperor still has her in his heart, at least he is willing to think about her and miss her, even if he doesn't see each other, the love is still there.

The cuttlefish walked out from behind the rockery, rubbed her neck, and then walked back slowly, she still didn't know anything, since the emperor was also worried about her, then why didn't he summon her? Could it be that you are still angry because of what happened before?

She has lost a lot of weight these days, so she hasn't gained weight, and it is estimated that the emperor will be surprised the next time they meet.

The cuttlefish has a smile on its face, its mood is as bright as the sunshine of March, and its steps are unconsciously much lighter.

……

After a good night's sleep, the next day, the sun was already high up, and the cuttlefish crawled out of the bed. If it weren't for Ruyi's urgency, she wouldn't know how long she would sleep.

After dressing and washing, the cuttlefish came to the courtyard with Ruyi, and the two palace people sent by the Internal Affairs Office were standing respectfully here, and they had been waiting for a long time.

A few days ago, Ruyi mentioned that there were not enough people in the palace, and after the consent of the cuttlefish, she went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inform her, and in the morning, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a palace maid and a eunuch, all of whom met the requirements of the cuttlefish, diligent, clean, and did not cause trouble.

One of them was a little palace maid who was less than sixteen years old, named Green Pothos, her thin body was covered with a wide palace dress, and she looked very out of tune, and the cuttlefish looked at her carefully, and saw her young age, but her palms had a thick layer of calluses, and she guessed that she was doing rough chores before.

It is not easy to enter the palace at a young age and be enslaved by others, and the cuttlefish's heart is a little unbearable, and he instructed, "Green pothos, from now on, you will live in the same room with Chunxiang, if there is anything you don't understand, ask Ruyi for advice, some of the light work of cleaning and scrubbing in the Xianfu Palace will be handed over to you, as long as you clean it up on weekdays." ”

The green pothos received the order and hurriedly whispered, and saluted the cuttlefish before going in to take care of his things.

The cuttlefish turned his head to look at the other eunuch, and saw that he had a happy face, and without waiting for the cuttlefish to ask, he took the initiative to speak, "The slave is cheap, and he was originally on an errand in Yikun Palace, but now he has come to Xianfu Palace, and he will work hard to serve you, the master." ”

"Shungui?" The cuttlefish read the name and felt very familiar, and then asked, "There is a shuncai by the emperor's side, and the names of the two of you are quite similar, do you know each other?" ”

Shungui replied, "Yes, the slave originally served the emperor with Shuncai, and later the emperor saw that the slave was quite capable of doing things, so he sent the slave to Yikun Palace as an errand to serve the young concubine." ”

Cuttlefish has never seen the young concubine, only heard that she is delicate and beautiful, elegant temperament, deeply favored by the emperor, and was also given to live alone in Yikun Palace, glorious for a while, but unfortunately a thin life, a few years ago she contracted a stubborn disease and could not afford to be ill, and died soon after, and then there is no blessing to enjoy the grace of glory.

Since Shungui once served the emperor and was rewarded to the favorite concubine Nian, he must be a clever and capable eunuch, the cuttlefish nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are not many errands in Xianfu Palace, you can retire and clean up first, just help Xiao Yuezi more during this time, if you have other needs, I will naturally order you again." ”

This Shungui looks at him a little capable, maybe he can be of great use in the future, and the cuttlefish plans to secretly observe him, and then make a decision.

In the afternoon, after Ruyi arranged the pothos and Shungui properly, she beckoned Chunxiang to carry out a mahogany square table with her, placed it under the porch, and brought a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a pineapple wood low stool.

Chunxiang was puzzled, "Sister Ruyi, what are we going to do when we take the table out?" Are you going to write here? ”

Ruyi smiled faintly and replied, "It's not that I want to write, it's our master's request, the queen's birthday is coming soon, and the master wants to hand-copy a Buddhist scripture for the queen's mother, no, you have to start preparing now." ”

Chunxiang nodded slowly after hearing this, her eyes flashed, and there was a little more expectation in her eyes.

After preparing to stop, the cuttlefish came out of the house while yawning, looking listless, she opened the scriptures, only copied a few lines, and couldn't help complaining, "So many words, when can I finish recording, it's really troublesome, Ruyi, you see, this book is estimated that I have to write for seven days and seven nights." ”

Ruyi received the hint from the cuttlefish's eyes, and replied with understanding, "It won't take seven days, master, this is a birthday gift for the queen's mother, you have to prepare for your life, you write patiently here first, the slave maid goes to Chuxiu Palace, don't you let the slave maid go to Wang Promise to send some pastries, the slave maid will go." ”

After Ruyi finished speaking, he immediately turned around and went to the dining room, took a lot of pastries and went to Chuxiu Palace.

Seeing that Ruyi was gone, the cuttlefish looked at Chunxiang with a tired face and pleaded, "Chunxiang, I remember that you are literate, why don't you help me write something first, my stomach is a little hungry, I want to eat something, and I will come back to replace you when I am full." ”

When Chunxiang heard this, she naturally nodded and agreed, "The master just goes to rest, and the slave will definitely help you copy it well, and nothing will go wrong." ”

The cuttlefish feigned joy, patted Haruka's arm, and then turned around and ran to the dining room.

Haruka got the opportunity, of course, she would copy carefully, she kept an eye on it while copying, and took the opportunity to do something wrong, the first two pages were without mistakes, but on the third page, she deliberately wrote several typos in the lower right, and on the fourth page, she also copied a whole sentence incorrectly.

Her handwriting is neat and beautiful, even if there is a mistake, it is not easy to detect it at a glance, thinking about the lazy state of the cuttlefish, she is even more sure that what she writes will not be scrutinized, and she is bolder.

Chunxiang had already made a calculation, as long as this flawed scripture was sent to the queen, with the queen's care for the scriptures, she would definitely be able to find out the problem, and at that time, even if the cuttlefish was not severely punished, it would be difficult to escape trouble.

And she can use this to ask Concubine Xi for credit, adding a big bargaining chip for her to return to Jingren Palace.

After a long time, Chunxiang probably copied nearly six pages or so, and the cuttlefish walked out of the dining room slowly with her stomach in her hand, she took the manuscript and flipped it at will, and said, "The handwriting is good, I didn't expect our Chunxiang to hide it deeply, thanks to you, I can have some leisure, or I will hand over your work to the new pothos in the next few days, you will copy the book for me, what do you think?" ”

When the cuttlefish said the words "hidden deeply", she glanced at Haruka meaninglessly, her expression was full of disappointment, and her eyes dimmed.

Haruka didn't pay attention to the cuttlefish's face, and replied happily, "The slave must copy it carefully for the master." ”
