Chapter 38: The Loss of the Silk Handkerchief
The breeze outside the house swayed gently, making a rustling sound of the leaves, and the hearts of the people in the house couldn't help but ripple.
The cuttlefish hid the pink fist in her sleeve and clenched it tightly, she wanted to persuade the emperor to change his mind, but she didn't know how to speak, so she had to rack her brains and keep thinking of a way, her face was embarrassed and awkward.
The emperor coughed twice deliberately, pretending to look away casually, but the corner of his eye was already aimed at the cuttlefish, and her little movements were unobstructed.
"Your Majesty, the concubines still think you should ...... It's time to go back to the Temple of Nourishing the Heart to rest, because ...... Or go back...... It's better. The cuttlefish whispered, and its face turned red into the evening glow.
The emperor put his hand next to his ear and pretended to be puzzled: "What, louder, I didn't hear clearly." ”
"This ......" the cuttlefish didn't have the courage to say any more, she gasped sharply, and stopped talking.
At this time, the emperor suddenly turned around, looked relaxed and laughed, "Ha, teasing you, look at your nervous appearance, is it serious?" ”
Looking at the cuttlefish's stunned face, the emperor thought he had made a very funny joke, and kept giggling, even squeezing his eyebrows together.
As the Son of Heaven, sometimes it is inevitable that he will be restrained, the ancestors have already set the rules, and the emperor has always had to live in his own bedroom, how can there be a reason to stay in the palace of the concubine? Although the emperor doesn't mind setting a precedent by his temperament, when he thinks of the courtiers who love to make a fuss, he can only give up and be too lazy to make trouble.
The cuttlefish was taken aback, and quickly reacted, and was a little annoyed, saying that the king had no jokes, how could the emperor be so open-mouthed. But when she saw the emperor's childish smile, she immediately lost her anger again, but shook her head helplessly, without showing displeasure.
She muttered casually, "When I never met the Holy Lord before, I always heard others say that you are a strict and cold-faced emperor, but now that I look at it, it is not like this. You love to joke, you often play tricks on people, and you have a powerful mouth, and there is nothing that has anything to do with old-fashioned coldness, and it seems that what others say is not right. ”
When the emperor heard this, he put away the bright smile he had just now, and said seriously, "What is the importance of what others say? The key is what you think of me, if you think I'm a funny and humorous man, then I am. Besides, you are smart and interesting, different from others, and I treat you differently, how can you generalize with others. ”
Larger than life? The cuttlefish raised her eyes suspiciously, and her heart moved slightly at the emperor's sincere eyes, could it be that she really had anything special in the emperor's eyes?
The girl's heart is always sensitive and easy to move, once there is affection, there will often be an uncontrollable trend, although the cuttlefish often reminds themselves, can not go too close to the emperor, let alone leave a non-point thought, but if the affection really comes to the heart, how many people can restrain it?
Seeing that the cuttlefish stopped talking, the emperor just thought that he was bored, he pursed his lips and said with some grievances, "Forget it, just if I didn't say it, I still have to appease the one in Zhongcui Palace, and I will come to see you when I have time." ”
The cuttlefish came back to his senses and understood that the emperor was going to Guo Guiren, so he hurriedly got up to send him off, "The concubine sends the emperor off, and I hope that the emperor will pay attention to his body and go back to the Heart Palace to rest as soon as possible." ”
The emperor sighed secretly, this Su promised to look smart and smart, why is he so unenlightened.
After the emperor left, Ruyi, who had been standing next to her, finally couldn't help it, she asked, "Master, what's wrong with you just now, the emperor clearly likes you, but you are like a piece of wood, and you don't react at all, which is too bad for the emperor." ”
The cuttlefish looked innocent, blinked her round apricot eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Ruyi, do you really see the emperor's intentions?" ”
"Of course, at a glance, you should also pay more attention to this regard, master, after all, this is about your honor and future." Ruyi frankly persuaded him.
The cuttlefish thought for a moment, but still didn't know, "Even if the emperor shows a little affection for me, then what should I do, I can't immediately give him a hug, how embarrassing it is, and it's too unreserved." ”
Since she was a child, she has only learned to read, write, and play the piano and paint female red, and as for how to please the saint, she doesn't know anything.
Ruyi held his forehead, and felt crying and laughing for a while, "The slave maid doesn't mean this, we are not a merry place, of course there is no need to be so active, but when facing the emperor, your speech and attitude should not be too cold as just now." ”
Ruyi's words didn't help much, and the cuttlefish still didn't know how to behave in the face of the emperor, so she waved her jade hand a little impatiently, indicating that she didn't want to talk about it anymore. After all, her identity is special, how can she be allowed to talk about grace, even if she and the emperor are in love, there may not be a long time, in the end it is just a moon in the glasses in the water.
The pseudonym that Su promised made the cuttlefish's troubles more and more, and it had reached the point of a dilemma, she couldn't help but think of the past days, and unspeakable bitterness rose in her heart.
Rujian cuttlefish bowed his head sullenly and pondered, worried that he had said the wrong thing, so he cautiously asked, "Master, are you okay, or the slave will go out to do other things first, and will not disturb your rest." ”
"I'm fine, I just thought about something from the past." The cuttlefish smiled lightly, not wanting Ruyi to see anything abnormal, she thought about it, and then said softly, "Don't leave yet, I have something to ask you." ”
The cuttlefish picked up the silk handkerchief that was placed aside, handed it to Ruyi, and asked, "Look at this handkerchief carefully, have you ever seen anything exactly like it?" I lost one of these handkerchiefs a few days ago, and I can't find it, and I don't know where it went. ”
Ruyi took it and looked at it carefully, the pale pink small square is very ordinary at first glance, and there is nothing special, but if you look closely, you will find that the lower right side of the silk handkerchief is embroidered with a small fish pattern. The women in the palace have always only liked to embroider flowers and leaves, and few will embroider a small fish on the veil.
Ruyi shook her head decisively and replied, "The slave maid doesn't know, when she sees Chunxiang in a while, the slave maid will ask her again." ”
The cuttlefish was a little puzzled, why did the good handkerchief disappear out of thin air, Ruyi and Chunxiang did things in an orderly manner, it shouldn't have been accidentally lost by the two of them.
She had two silk handkerchiefs of this appearance, both of which she had sewn by herself, but since the last time she searched the palace, one of them has never been found. Although the handkerchief is not a valuable object, it is inevitable that it is strange to lose it for no reason, and the cuttlefish guesses, could it be that there are too many things when searching the palace, and they were inadvertently lost?!
