Chapter 66: Promise Wang
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, the cuttlefish often goes out to hang out when they have nothing to do, and their popularity has improved a lot.
Wang agreed to live in Chuxiu Palace, has a gentle temperament, knows some poetry and books, and cuttlefish can talk to her very well.
Ruyi is also happy about these changes in the master, after all, in this deep palace, one more friend is one more strength, which is always a good thing.
Unless, this friend has other intentions, hypocrisy.
Xianfu Palace.
The cuttlefish tasted the mung bean soup in the bowl, his eyes flashed a few bright colors, and he couldn't help but praise, "It's delicious, my sister's cooking skills are really good, you still cook yourself on such a hot day, but it's hard for you." ”
Wang Yu, who was sitting opposite her, just pursed his lips and smiled, and his smile was full of style.
Just now, Wang promised to bring the mung bean soup he had boiled to Xianfu Palace, and the two were sitting on the couch at this time, drinking and chatting.
Wang promised to be graceful, wearing a light-colored dark stripe long skirt, slightly old-fashioned, and the two silver hairpins on the bun were also ordinary and simple, revealing a feeling of inferiority, her appearance was good, and it was difficult to hide her flattery with a smile, but this dress was shabby, not to mention that she couldn't get into the eyes of the emperor, and even other concubines would laugh at her.
"Since my sister likes it, let's drink more, I boiled it a lot, and I couldn't finish it alone, so I took half of it to my sister." Wang agreed and smiled.
There are a lot of people in Chuxiu Palace, and if you can't finish drinking, you can take it to other sisters, why bring it here? Cuttlefish secretly thought, it seems that Wang promised to have a bad relationship with others, and he lived a lonely life in Chuxiu Palace.
But it's no wonder that the cuttlefish always feels a little similar to his previous self when he sees Wang Promise, the same cautious, the same unsociable, plus the low rank, of course he won't have any friends.
Unconsciously, the cuttlefish's heart added a little favor to Wang's promise.
Maybe it's because she resembles herself.
The cuttlefish thought about it, signaled Ruyi to hand her jewelry box, opened the box, and all kinds of precious ornaments came into view, she picked a gold-inlaid jade carved flower hairpin and a pearl tendrils hairpin in her hand, and then took out a plum blossom hanging bead hairpin, and handed it to Wang on the opposite side.
The cuttlefish said gently, "I'm a year older than you, and I should give you some greeting gifts, you take these and wear them when you need them in the future, so as not to let everyone look down on you, this is okay to say, but the decorations on your hair can't be sloppy, you have to dress up carefully, so that you can be worthy of your appearance and talent." ”
Wang promised to look down, and quickly shook his head and wanted to refuse, "This is too valuable, I dare not accept it, I don't dare to accept it, and I have nothing to give to my sister, how can I be embarrassed to accept my sister's generous gifts." ”
Cuttlefish, she didn't intend to return the other party's gifts, she just wanted to unilaterally send some jewelry, firstly, she really wanted to be friendly with Wang's, and secondly, she also had some intention of buying people's hearts.
She smiled and stuffed the things into the arms of hearts, and said, "You put it away for your master." The red heart is the maid promised by Wang, and her face is at a loss, like a hot potato.
The cuttlefish was afraid that Wang would refuse, so he said, "You brought me this mung bean soup, which is already a generous gift, I have never drunk such a delicious one." ”
After hearing this, Wang Shi had no choice but to smile, so he had to accept it, if he still had to push and shove, it would be too childish. She lowered her eyes and thanked her, "Sister Meiyi, I don't want to refuse again, if you like the mung bean soup I boiled, I will come a few more times in the future." ”
In fact, the cuttlefish didn't like to drink mung bean soup originally, but once the emperor came up and personally sent it once, she loved the house and Wudi, and now that I think about it, it is inevitable that I am a little sad.
The cuttlefish was stunned, I don't know what the emperor is doing, but he is busy with political affairs and can't take a break? It is estimated that in the future, he will never come to Xianfu Palace to bring her food, she has not seen her for so many days, she misses the emperor very much, but the emperor may have left her behind.
A faint sobbing sound swayed in the room, and the cuttlefish's thoughts were also pulled back, and when she looked up, she found that Wang's maidservant Red Heart was crying quietly, she tried her best not to attract attention, but she still couldn't.
Wang Yu frowned, and just wanted to speak, but stopped talking.
"Heart, why are you crying?" The cuttlefish asked, looking at her emaciated little face.
Red Heart wiped a handful of tears, her eyes were red, and she replied in a mournful voice, "Slave maid...... When the slave heard that you and Wang had promised to be sisters, she thought of the slave's sister...... "When it comes to her sister, she is sad and can't cry."
Wang Wei sighed, "Her sister's name is Xianglan, and she suddenly got tuberculosis not long ago, and she disappeared without warning, and the sisters didn't even see each other for the last time. ”
I see, no wonder the hearts suddenly cried. The cuttlefish understood this kind of pain of separation between heaven and man, and sighed, "Xianglan is also on an errand in Chuxiu Palace, she got tuberculosis at a young age, it's pitiful." ”
Wang promised to fiddle with the porcelain spoon in the bowl, and also felt pity, "Xianglan and Chun Tao are not together, Xianglan is serving Gu Chang in Zhongcui Palace, because she has an unclean disease, she is not even allowed to see the body, and I don't know where to bury it." ”
As soon as he heard that Gu Chang was there, the cuttlefish's heart tightened, and after thinking for a while, he began to wonder, how could a good person suddenly get tuberculosis, and he didn't let his relatives collect the corpse, which seemed a little strange.
remembered that in the Imperial Garden, the cuttlefish was almost drowned by Caiyun, and Xiaochuan's unexplained suicide, these are all related to the Gu family.
Therefore, it is not known whether the cause of Xianglan's death was tuberculosis.
Wang Yu saw the abnormality of the cuttlefish, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, why don't you speak, what are you thinking?" ”
"Huh? It's nothing, by the way, I can't finish some black plums, so I'll give you some, Ruyi, you take the hearts to get some black plums. The cuttlefish diverted the topic, and before Wang could react, he hurriedly signaled Ruyi to lead the hearts out.
Ruyi nodded, knowing the master's intentions, this is to find an excuse to branch the hearts.
After waiting for the wishful hearts to leave, Wang promised to ask the cuttlefish, "Su Changzai has something to say to me alone?" ”
The cuttlefish smiled lightly, "You are really smart, I have a guess in my heart, I want to tell you, how can you say this pandan ......?"
Wang promised to listen attentively to the cuttlefish's words, the expression on her face gradually changed, and after the cuttlefish finished saying her suspicions that Gu Changzai had killed Xianglan, she also said, "Actually, I also have the same thoughts as my sister, Xianglan's death is really strange." ”
Wang promised to be a bit smart, she didn't have much intersection with Gu, but it was not difficult to see Gu's character.
But suspicion is suspicion, and there is no conclusive evidence, so you can't recklessly go to Gu Changzai for questioning. Wang promised to speak softly, and he was even more powerless to make decisions for Red Hearts and Pandan.
