Chapter 64: Butterflies
Compared with the peaceful atmosphere in the Yulin Pavilion, the atmosphere in the Zhaoyang Hall was unusually dignified.
Empress Gongsun took off her thick attire and leaned against the bed, her face full of anger. Beside her, a palace maid in a blue palace dress with a slight posture was beating her legs, this woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with thin eyebrows and peach eyes, and she was lowering her head and not daring to speak loudly.
"Pearl, what did Su Meng's girl really say?" The queen held a piece of jade Ruyi in her hand, which she often played with, and her fingers trembled a little because of anger.
"Yes, sis." The girl called Pearl lowered her head and said in a deep voice.
The queen slapped Yu Ruyi on the edge of the bed with a bang, and snorted coldly: "I don't know what to do!" ”
"Niangniang, she is just a princess, you are her mother, she doesn't know what to do, you can teach her, right?" Pearl said unhurriedly.
The queen groaned, and after her mood slowly calmed down, she said, "Yes! No matter how she doesn't know what to do, this palace is now her mother-in-law, and when the envoys of the Liang State come, she will definitely send this girl away. ”
"That's exactly why, therefore, the mother should rest early." Pearl replied as she thumped her legs.
"Then let's settle it!" The queen rubbed the corners of her forehead and nodded.
In the Yulin Pavilion, Su Meng threw the snowball to Gui Gui to take care of, while she lay on the bed with the quilt in her arms, quietly closing her eyes.
Beside her was an aunt with white sideburns, her eyes also closed, quiet and peaceful.
"Meng Meng, don't act impulsively in the future, a fright like this, the old slave can't stand it a second time." Aunt Rong spoke.
Su Meng snorted and said, "Okay, I know." I'm sad that everyone is hurting because of me. ”
Aunt Rong stretched out her hand and grabbed Su Meng's hand beside her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone doesn't blame you, don't take it to heart." In fact, through this incident, I also realized many things. ”
Su Meng asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
"Caidie, this girl is not pure-minded." Aunt Rong said.
Under Aunt Rong's explanation, Su Meng knew that the cause of her father's poisoning was in the first place.
The purse she made at the beginning was filled with ambergris, which can be soothing, and the things in her hand have been held, how can it be poisonous? If it is poisonous, she is poisoned first.
Then, the problem arises with the butterfly that sent the purse to the past.
Caidie and Lamei are both Su Meng's second-class palace maids, and they have taken care of her for many years, but Caidie's heart is a little wilder, and she received a lot of money from the queen and did such a thing as framing.
When everyone in the Yulin Pavilion was caught in the Courtyard Prison, in addition to Aunt Yun who was taken away by the queen and Hongyu who was taken away by Graphite, there was another person who was quietly taken away, and that was Caidie.
As a result, Caidie left the prison and has never seen her.
After listening to Aunt Rong's story, Su Meng was silent, she didn't know how to answer at this time, and she didn't know what to say.
She treats Caidie well, how could she do such a thing?
"Meng Meng, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, in the future, everything must be done carefully." Aunt Rong's voice came slowly in Su Meng's ears, as if she sighed lightly and seemed helpless.
Su Meng moved her eyes, never opened her eyes, and said: "It's best for people to inquire about Caidie's whereabouts, if she is doing well, it's fine, if it's not good...... That's her life, too. ”
If she had a bad life, she wanted Aunt Rong to rescue Caidie, but the entire Yulin Pavilion suffered because of her, how could she forgive her?
When Aunt Rong heard Su Meng's words, she knew what she meant, and immediately said, "Okay." ”
"It's late at night, let's get some rest early." Su Meng said that, she kept silent, but she closed her eyes, but she didn't fall asleep.
Caidie, that smile is as bright as a flower, reliable in her work, able to speak, and won her heart. Now, Caidie's betrayal has never made her believe it.
No wonder there was no her in the crowd that came out to greet her today, and no wonder she was so excited and worried when she was asked to give her purse to her father.
Thinking wildly, it was late at night.
The crescent moon in the sky is slanting westward, and the brilliance of the sunrise reflects the eastern half of the sky, and the miserable white moon in the west still hangs in the air.
"Princess, it's time to get up."
Su Meng was asleep in ignorance, when she heard that someone was calling her, she frowned, slowly opened her eyes, found that the sky was slightly bright, rubbed her eyes and said, "It's still early." ”
"Princess, hurry up, I'll have to say hello to the queen later!" Ruby whispered to the side.
The queen nurse? Hello, please? Su Meng opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, looked at the place he was in, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "I thought I was in Lingyun Sect, I thought I could sleep until lunchtime!" ”
Hongyu heard Su Meng's words like a child, and laughed with her sleeve on the side, "I have returned to the palace yesterday, you can take care of it!" ”
Su Meng lay back again, hugged the quilt and said, "Can you take leave with the queen, saying that I am not feeling well, and I can't go to say hello?" ”
Hongyu shook her head and said, "No! It's too much that you didn't go to say hello yesterday, and you're going to go today. ”
Su Meng stretched her waist and pouted, "Okay, get up!" Well? What about Aunt Rong? ”
"Aunt Rong prepares breakfast for you, you also know that diet is very important, and she won't fake it to others." Hongyu said while helping Su Meng get up and help her change her clothes.
"Okay." Su Meng stood on the ground, letting Hongyu put her clothes on her one by one.
Looking down at the thick and gorgeous palace clothes on her body, she missed the simple caftan she wore in Lingyun Sect at this time, light and comfortable.
"Princess, on the first day you go back to the palace to greet the queen, why don't you comb your hair with a more gorgeous hairstyle?" Hongyu's eyes were shining and she looked at Su Meng, expecting her consent.
Su Meng is young and has sparse hair, so how simple is it to comb her hair every day, and many good headwear can only be seen but not worn. And Su Meng doesn't like heavy wigs, so she rarely combs gorgeous hairstyles.
Now that she can finally wait for a "big day", Hongyu naturally can't let go of anything, holding a wig in her hand, looking at Su Meng in front of the dressing mirror with a smile.
"It's not good, it's too tiring to wear a wig, what if my neck can't bear such a heavy thing and breaks it?" Su Meng rolled her eyes and saw the wig in Hongyu's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little numb in her scalp.
Hongyu snorted and said, "Bah, bah! How could the neck be broken, princess, how long has it been since the slave and maid have served you, and you will promise the slave and maid today, right? ”
Su Meng was begged by Hongyu Yang and had no choice but to say: "It can be, but don't go too far!" If it's too heavy, I'll tear it off! ”
"Okay! Princess, wait a minute, I'll go get the dressing box! Ruby smiled, the precious jewelry in the dresser box can finally come in handy!
