Chapter Seventy-Nine: Concubine De's Punishment
I have long known that there will be grievances, but I didn't expect this grievance to come so quickly, Yu Wenhao privately killed the palace people and was disrespectful to Su Die and Lihan, such a thing is a fact, it has damaged the royal face, and it stands to reason that it should be punished heavily, but who knows that people have nothing to do, but it is Concubine Lide's villain who has done it first, but he punished Su Die and Qin Shujiu for cleaning Lu Pavilion for a few days.
The cleaning of the Lu Pavilion does not seem to be a heavy punishment, but it is just the poison of this midsummer sun, coupled with the fire in the stomach, it is naturally exhausting under the double fire. This punishment was unfair, and Su Die was unwilling, but Qin Shujiu didn't allow her to meet Liqing to ask for an explanation, so she could only pile up all her grievances in her heart.
The matter was provoked by her, she was wronged and punished, which Su Die admitted, but it caused Qin Shujiu to be punished with herself, Su Die really didn't want to go, but Qin Shujiu never complained about Su Die, but explained her.
"Why does my sister always remember this, what do the two sisters say about whether they are involved or not, besides, isn't it better for two people to be punished together than one person? At least this thing can be split in half and I can get a good rest earlier. Smiled and comforted Su Die, although she was a little tired, she was not the delicate lord, but she could hold on. It's just that Su Die's heart still feels very aggrieved after all, so she replied.
"After all, I still can't stand you, but I pulled you to suffer under this sun, but there is really no place for kings in this palace. That Yu Wenhao did so many evil things and no one cared, but we have to suffer here in vain. "It's normal to complain, it's just that the palace is not just a place where there is no king's law, in such a place, you can't even have the heart to complain, Qin Shujiu took a broom and sighed: "Sister just said, why did you forget, in such a complaint, carefully ask people to report to Concubine Lide, and then punish us." ”
If she was only punished alone, Su Die was worried that Qin Shujiu would be implicated, so she could only take her mouth, but the words were not said in Mingtang, but the words of complaint still inevitably had to be repeated a few more words. It was also Qin Shujiu, and after listening to her and even talking a few times with Liqing, she responded: "Sister, don't blame Your Majesty, what kind of place is the Hussar General's Mansion, my sister also knows." Although Jiang Guo is stable in the court, he is still eyeing the outside after all, and the grievances suffered by His Majesty are no less than ours. ”
Of course she was angry and complained about Liqing, but fortunately, there was a Qin Shujiu on the side who could enlighten from time to time, but she could also suppress Su Die and tell her that she would not really look for Liqing with a momentary anger. After talking about Qin Shujiu, Su Die couldn't say anything more, so he could only quickly sweep the flowers and leaves swept off the pavilion and sighed: "It's that you are the best at thinking about our majesty, hey, I suffered this sin because of my own lack of eyes." But you, how can Your Majesty be willing to let you accompany you? ”
Qin Shujiu is wholeheartedly for Liqing's sake, at least in Su Die's eyes, she only feels that it is Liqing's luck to meet such a person, but she has been unfair for Qin Shujiu. Su Die always likes to talk about this, anyway, as long as he doesn't see others hearing these words, it's okay to talk about them occasionally, and he won't say more at the moment. When he was concentrating on cleaning the Lu Pavilion, Master Weng came, followed by Bao Xi, and Bao Xi carried a food box in his hand and led Bao Xi into the Lu Pavilion, Master Weng said.
"The two sisters have worked hard."
The arrival of Master Weng made them temporarily stop what they were doing, wiped the thin sweat oozing from their foreheads with their sleeves, and Su Die looked at her and said, "How did you get here on this hot day?" ”
They had to do this because of the punishment, but Master Weng came to make her surprised, this question made Master Weng laugh, turned around and opened the food box from the treasure box, and then took out a white pottery cup from it, took out the pottery cup and put it on the horizontal fence of the Lu Pavilion, Master Weng said: "My sister is being punished and the master is worried in her heart, thinking about the heat of this day, I am afraid that the two sisters will be hot and boil mung bean soup and send it to the sisters, and this drink a few sips to cool off the heat." ”
The summer cleaning is indeed very tiring, and the words of complaining are dry after a bunch of words, and now Master Weng's mung bean soup is served Su Die, and he can't wait, so he drinks the mung bean soup. The specially chilled mung bean soup was drunk in the mouth to relieve the heat, and then Su Die breathed a long sigh of relief and then said.
"It's considered alive, to be honest, I almost feel like I'm going to make this sun melt, but fortunately, your mung bean soup came in time, otherwise I would really be in the heat."
When I complained just now, I had enough energy, how could I not work hard for a while? But Su Die's words amused me, and she couldn't help but chuckle. After taking the mung bean soup on the ground of Master Weng and drinking it, Qin Shujiu asked: "My sister sent us mung bean soup to relieve the heat, aren't you afraid that Concubine De will know about it and implicate my sister?" She understood Master Weng's kindness, but she was still afraid that she would implicate Master Weng, but Master Weng said with a smile after listening to her words.
"My sister is serious, and the sisters are helping each other to say that they are implicated, besides, Concubine De only said that she can't help outsiders and didn't say that she can't send her sisters something to relieve the heat, and she won't offend her sister if she thinks about it."
Although Concubine De has a cold temperament, she is not the kind of unreasonable person, and she will not punish them again for such a thing, and she is relieved to finish the mung bean soup in the bowl at the moment. After waiting for Qin Shu to finish drinking the wine and then handing the bowl to Nanzhi, he listened to Master Weng speak.
"It's really hot this summer, and the whole palace is called this day sweltering, and I really can't breathe." The climate is getting hotter and hotter, and it's not really summer, if it's the most difficult days of the scorching heat, I don't know how to survive the days. Originally, the mung bean soup felt a little cooler after drinking it, but who knew that when Master Weng said this, he felt hot again, and he took the fan of Chu Meng and fanned himself to the wind, Su Die said.
"Yes, the umbrella is in the air, this scorching sun is really difficult. By the way, I remember that in the past, when I entered the summer palace, I would go to the Taiye Palace to escape the summer, why didn't I see His Majesty's edict this year? "The hot summer is really unbearable, but there is no good place to escape the heat in the palace, in previous years, in the first month of the summer, Liqing will move the Taiye Palace to rely on the natural pond and lake there to reduce the heat. But this year, somehow, there is no news so far, but the concubines who are afraid of heat in the palaces are a little unbearable to bear the heat.
Liqing's mind was difficult to guess, and seeing Su Die's doubts, Master Weng also guessed softly: "Maybe because the war in the northwest has not yet been settled, Your Majesty has no intention of moving the Taiye Palace." ”
The war in the northwest is so tight, Liqing is a person who is worried about national affairs, and he must not have the heart to think about the summer, and the people below do not dare to remind Liqing at that juncture, so this matter will naturally be put on hold. The two of them also chatted about this summer retreat, but Qin Shujiu didn't open his mouth for some reason, sitting in the pavilion leaning on the railing and looking at the clear water in the pavilion, Qin Shujiu muttered.
"In another half a month, I'm afraid that the lotus flowers in this pond will bloom completely."
The sudden sentence made the two people on the side pay attention, and after stopping the chat, they looked at Qin Shujiu, and Master Weng opened his mouth and asked, "Sister, do you like lotus?" The words of inquiry made Qin Shujiu come back to his senses, and smiled at Master Weng's inquiry, Qin Shujiu replied: "I don't like it." Master Weng was puzzled: "If you don't like it, how can your sister sigh so much." ”
After half a month, the lotus flowers will all bloom, and it sounds like an excellent thing, although Master Weng thinks so, but Qin Shujiu is clear that he doesn't like lotuses, and he shook his head and smiled: "The lotus leaf Luo skirt is cut in one color, and the hibiscus opens to both sides of the face, although the world marvels at the beauty of the lotus, and loves it only out of the mud without staining, but I don't like it." Muddy nurturing abandons its roots, forgetting the roots of nurturing, and its nature makes me unhappy. ”
Ordinary people always call the lotus a gentleman in the flowers, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, but Qin Shujiu looks at it the opposite. The root of rebuke and forgetfulness is the flower of injustice. Such remarks have never been heard of in ancient and modern times, Qin Shujiu's gaze made them amazed, but they couldn't refute it, just sighed and said.
"My sister's views are always so biased that people can't hear of them."
If Qin Shujiu's remarks were heard by those literati outside, I was afraid that she would be reprimanded for spreading fallacies, but she just said it casually in front of her sisters, which was nothing. Especially Su Die, she has never liked these ancient things, and now she asked Qin Shujiu to talk about difficult words, and she was not very happy, so she interrupted and said.
"This flower into each eye, some love and some are annoying, and there is nothing right or wrong, why sigh for some dead things. But then again, don't you really think it's hot when you're drinking? Why haven't I bothered you a word since this morning, as if the sweltering weather couldn't hurt you? ”
I got up early in the morning, and I didn't feel stuffy before the sun went up, but now under the scorching sun, they have been cleaning the Luting corridor for a long time, and she doesn't know how many times she has said this sigh, but Qin Shujiu didn't seem to be aware of it at all, and Su Die didn't hear half of the complaining words. Whether the lotus flower is the flower of a gentleman or the flower of ingratitude, she doesn't have much temperament, so she wants to know if Qin Shujiu is really calm or really doesn't know the heat.
Ignoring Fang Cai's words, he hurriedly asked, Su Die was very concerned, but it was also her concern that Qin Shujiu smiled, and Fang replied: "The heat is better than the heat of this summer, and everyone is bitter under the heat, but if this heart is quiet, this heat is nothing, why don't you try it?" After speaking, he proposed with a smile, but this proposal categorically could not be accepted by Su Die, when he waved his hand Su Die said: "Don't say it, let me calm down, I can't do your calm." After speaking, he glanced sideways, but he was extremely disdainful of Qin Shujiu's method.
The unbearable appearance made Master Weng laugh, and immediately quipped: "If Sister Su is really quiet, then the name of the overlord will have to be given away." ”
As soon as he finished saying this joke, Su Die stretched out his hand and twisted his cheeks, pinched it heavily until Master Weng begged for mercy, and then Su Die said: "You two are good, dare to make fun of me together, believe it or not, I will let you see what the real overlord is." After saying that, it really meant to do something, but they were so shocked that they were busy making amends, and they didn't realize how hot the day was under this laughter.
This was talking and laughing, but someone interrupted him halfway, and I don't know why Su Yi came here to look for them, and after entering the Lu Pavilion and knocking on An, Su Yi said: "My fair beauty was originally here, but it is easy to find the miscellaneous family." ”
Seeing that Su Yi was looking for him, Qin Shujiu hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and then said, "Father-in-law Xiao Suzi is looking for me in such a hurry, is there something important?" After asking, Su Yi replied: "If this is not something important, how dare the miscellaneous family come to disturb the beauty." This is not His Majesty summoned you to the Yanying Palace, but the miscellaneous family went to the Zhong Broken Palace, turned inside and out, and did not find the beauty, this is still the palace people of the Zhong Broken Palace said that the beauty was found in this miscellaneous house. ”
"Your Majesty summoned me?" Su Yi's words made Qin Shujiu stunned, and he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Little Suzi's father-in-law, do you know what His Majesty has summoned me?" ”
She hadn't been summoned by Liqing for a few days, and now this summons made Qin Shujiu think, so she had to probe her mouth first, but Su Yi didn't know it, and replied with a smile: "This miscellaneous family is just a summons, Your Majesty doesn't know what the miscellaneous family is talking about, the beauty should quickly follow the miscellaneous family to Yanying Palace, so as not to ask Your Majesty to wait for a while." ”
Of course, Liqing's summons had to go immediately, but the matter of Lu Ting had not yet been resolved, and Qin Shu hesitated when he was drunk, looked at Lu Ting and said, "But this matter of Concubine De's punishment?" ”
Qin Shujiu was really reluctant to let Su Die clean up these alone, but Su Die took a step forward when he heard this and said: "Since it is His Majesty's summons, you should go quickly, I can take care of these things alone, so you don't have to worry." ”
"Yes, sister, let's go and meet Your Majesty quickly." Master Weng on the side also spoke: "If my sister is worried about Lu Ting, my sister will stay with Sister Su, and the two of them can sort it out quickly, so don't worry about it." Master Weng took the initiative to stay and help, which was also gratifying, and Qin Shujiu said at the moment.
"In that case, I've thanked my sister, sister, I'll go and meet the saint first, as for my sister, don't forget what I said before." If she wasn't there, she still hoped that Su Die wouldn't complain about everything, after all, it was really dangerous in the palace, and she still had to be careful about everything to keep herself safe. She is so multi-minded, but Su Die has to remember, that is, the way.
"I know, you can go." Su Die's words fell, and Su Yi on the side was also busy and said: "Don't delay, beauty, this is something that Your Majesty is waiting for, and the miscellaneous family can't afford it." "It's not easy for people to do errands in the palace, and Qin Shujiu doesn't want to embarrass Su Yi, so he responded to the road and then went down to the Lu Pavilion, but the person just got off the Lu Pavilion and looked at the thin sweat on her body, she thought about going back to Zhong Sha Palace to change her clothes, but this thought was just mentioned but saw Su Yi say.
"Concubine De Niangniang punished Su Jieyu and the beauty, Your Majesty knows about this, since Your Majesty knows, it is common to sweat when cleaning in the hot summer, since Your Majesty urgently summons the beauty, don't go back to the palace to change clothes and delay, or follow the miscellaneous family orders. This body was seen by His Majesty, maybe His Majesty knew that it was really hard to be punished this day, thinking that Jieyu had been punished for a few days, but it would be exempted. ”
Su Yi also said lightly, but the meaning of his words Qin Shujiu was still clear, that is, he thanked Su Yi and then entered the Yanying Palace to knock on him.
