Chapter Seventy-Five: Concubine Xian laughed
The dreary weather is often irritating, and it has been a few days since Lai Zhaoyi summoned her to Lifang Palace, but Qin Shujiu didn't wait for Lai Zhaoyi to do it, so that Nanzhi almost felt that he was just thinking too much at that time. Only Qin Shujiu knew what kind of person Lai Zhaoyi was early on, but he firmly believed that the closeness of that person to himself was not without purpose.
The purpose must be there, but it is difficult to predict when the shot will arrive, so you can only wait like this. In the sultry climate, staying in the palace for a long time is inevitably boring, but fortunately, Liqing is rewarded, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs often sends the snow and ice that has just been taken out of the ice cellar, but it also relieves some heat for the sultry heat of this summer.
Fang used the chilled fruits, and the curtain carried those fruits into the bed, and saw that Nanzhi was holding a fan to dissipate heat for Qin Shujiu, Xu himself also felt a little stuffy, and the fan was weak. stepped forward and put the fruit on the desk, and then took the fan from Nanzhi's hand, and then fanned Qin Shujiu for her.
I couldn't stand this heat for a long time, and now that the curtain came over to take a hand, Nanzhi was also happy, and he was busy throwing the work to the curtain and then took the fruit on the desk and put it in his mouth. The chilled fruit is different, through the chill instantly dissipated the heat of the past few days, after the fruit entered the mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief, Nanzhi said: "It can be regarded as alive, just now I really thought that I had to make this hot air roasted raw." ”
This complaint made Qin Shujiu smile, put down the book in his hand and looked at Nanzhi, who had lost his strength, Qin Shujiu smiled and said, "It's not like this?" How did you survive in the past? It's better to be able to carry the curtain. As soon as these words came out, Nanzhi complained, and sat on the stage everywhere without manners, Nanzhi said: "Sister is sitting and saying that she doesn't feel backache, and her sister is sitting there with a curtain fanning, and she doesn't feel stuffy." As for the curtain, who knows if she is really not hot or her heart is too quiet, anyway, Nanzhi can't survive this stuffy and hot day. ”
How did she survive in the past, how can she remember, anyway, she is bored now. Such words really made Qin Shujiu speechless, but he didn't want to look at her, but continued to take the book to calm down. As soon as I picked up the book, I heard the curtain beside me say, "Beauty, when are you going to go to Languan Palace?" ”
"Languan Palace?" Confused and asked, Qin Shujiu looked up at Curtain, and Curtain nodded and responded: "Yes, didn't the beauty say that she would go to Languan Palace to talk to Weng Cairen today?" ”
When Curtain said this, Qin Shujiu really remembered this incident, and even shouted: "Curtain Er didn't say that I really forgot, but there was such a thing." "Because of the weather, I forgot about it, but fortunately, I reminded it on the side of the curtain, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Master Weng to wait. immediately put the book back again, Qin Shujiu got up and was about to change his clothes and travel. This time, Nanzhi also got up, and looked at Nanzhi outside, and immediately said.
"Sister is going out now?"
"Yes, since it's done, it's always going to be done." After the case, he called the curtain to change his clothes, although Qin Shujiu decided to do so, but this outside was inevitably sunburned, Nanzhi persuaded: "Sister, the heat outside is very poisonous, what if my sister goes out at this moment and suffers from the heat?" Even if you really want to talk to that Weng Cairen, your sister summoned her over, why bother to run out by herself. ”
Such a hot Tiannanzhi was reluctant to ask Qin Shujiu to go out to suffer, but Qin Shujiu just replied with a smile: "I was the one who answered her, how can I still let her come over on this day, and if I say anything between the sisters whether to call or not, this will hurt the feelings." After speaking, he glanced at Nan Zhi and signaled her not to say these hurtful words in the future, Qin Shujiu signaled Nan Zhi to take it to heart, but he still persuaded him.
"If it's really not good, my sister will go later, don't be the first day. Really, my sister is so decently guilty of her own crimes? As far as my sister's position is concerned, it should be Weng Cairen. This chatter made Qin Shujiu's face sink, and he raised his hand to signal the curtain to stop for the time being, Qin Shujiu looked at Nanzhi and said, "You girl, how can you forget what you just said, there is one less person who is opposed to each other in this palace." Although the master has no usable mother's family, there are always uncertain factors in this palace, who knows if she will be favored in the future, I have no bad relationship with her, and I really can't make her unhappy for such a small thing or two. In the future, don't talk about such things outside, if it really comes to your ears, it will inevitably make people think too much. ”
Qin Shujiu was extremely difficult to talk to her in such a tone, but he also asked Nan Zhi to write it down, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Just glanced at her and then sighed helplessly, Qin Shujiu then motioned for the curtain to continue.
On a sultry day, the clothes are naturally light and thin, and changing into the bright dress also makes people feel brighter. After walking plainly and drawing his eyebrows with the copper dai commonly used in the palace, Qin Shujiu came out of Zhong Sha Palace.
It's really a little stuffy outside, but fortunately, it's not yet completely summer, so this summer hasn't reached the most vicious time, and people don't have to worry about it even if they walk outside the palace. After choosing a place where there was a lot of water and a lot of water, Qin Shujiu walked towards Languan Palace. Under such a sun, most of the concubines will take a rest in the palace, and it should be a cool place if it is really bad.
I don't know what kind of wind it is to call the golden concubine Niangniang choose to travel on this day, although I don't want to meet head-on, but since I met, if I don't come forward to ask for a gift, then she doesn't understand the rules, and then she brought a curtain to the front and then bowed and said: "The concubine has worshiped the virtuous concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”
"Yo, this isn't my fair woman? How can you be out on such a hot day? It's almost up. After getting the order of the virtuous concubine, Qin Shujiu got up, and then responded truthfully: "The two of them in the palace of the ministers and concubines of the first talent Weng Cairen drew new patterns together, and because they couldn't embroider well, they invited Sister Weng, saying that they were free today and wanted to go to her palace to ask for advice." Because I had already said it before, I was going to Nalanguan Palace now. ”
"New tricks?" In response to this, even if it was just in response to Qin Shujiu, Concubine Hou Xian was also soft and charming, and her voice was very intoxicated. After answering that, she nodded slightly, and Concubine Hou Xian smiled: "There are still tricks that my fair beauties can't learn and have to ask others, but this palace is a little interested in that trick, if my fair beauties don't mind, can you let this palace take a look first?" ”
Concubine Xian's words fell Qin Shujiu hurriedly responded: "It is understandable that the lady wants to see her face, and it should be offered, but the trick is in the hands of the concubine, and it cannot be served at the moment." ”
"It's a pity that it's like this, it's a shame that this palace still wants to see it." You Chang sighed but it was really a pity, this Hou Xian Concubine felt a pity, Qin Shujiu of course could not let the interest of the Xian Concubine Niangniang be disappointed, and immediately said: "If the Xian Concubine Niangniang does not think that the concubine embroiderer is clumsy and can't get on the table, when the pattern is embroidered, the concubine will definitely be presented into the greenhouse hall for the Niangniang to see, and by the way, you can also ask for some advice from the Niangniang to see if there are any deficiencies that need to be changed." "The humble return salute is also pleasant to hear, but Qin Shujiu's humility doesn't seem to be the heart of the virtuous concubine today, and she still smiles like that, but there seems to be a little more irony in this smile.
After an inaudible cold snort, Concubine Hou Xian said: "My fair beauty's words can lift the palace, this embroidery palace doesn't understand half a point, what to ask for advice, how can this palace teach you anything?" It's just a passing moment to see what is new. However, my fair beauties have received a lot of rewards recently, and these fresh tricks are no less than in this palace. The new pattern depicted by this fair lady and Weng Cairen is naturally novel, and the palace doesn't dare to say anything, if it's good, it's good, if it's not good, you have to call the sisters in the palace laugh, isn't it? ”
The words are the joking words, but the meaning is not the meaning of the joke, Qin Shujiu knew that there must be nothing good to meet Concubine Hou Xian, just now he was still thinking about how to talk about the words so naturally, and now he felt normal when he heard it, and immediately responded: "Niangniang's words are serious, the concubine is panicked, Your Majesty's rewards have been more recently, but how can those rewards be compared with Niangniang?" His Majesty's reward to Niangniang has always been the first in the palace, which shows that Niangniang is full of favor and grace. Even if the concubine gets a lot of rewards, but the qualifications and the market he has seen are still far inferior to Niangniang, and Niangniang's casual guidance is the teachings of the sisters in the palace, who dares to laugh. ”
"My fair lady speaks like a listener, and this ear always makes your words soft. Since my fair beauties have that heart, they will be sent to the greenhouse hall after the pattern is embroidered, but my fair beauties should remember that this palace has always been outspoken, and if you say something that you don't like, don't feel aggrieved. ”
After a few words of laughter, Qin Shujiu replied: "Niangniang's words are serious, is this good medicine still bitter?" If you just blindly praise the concubines, you are afraid that you will be suspected of being disliked, but you will not get the teachings of the mother. ”
"How do you talk and how do you listen, but if this palace praises you, it is true, after all, my fair lady has been praised by His Majesty, and she is said to be an extremely intelligent person." The tone of the words in front was still light, but the back was slightly invisibly lower, and Qin Shujiu, who was keenly aware of it, knew the deep meaning of Concubine Houxian, but replied: "Your Majesty praises falsely, and the concubine is also frightened, and she can't be smart, but the new embroidered lady is also expected." Weng Cairen's embroidery is excellent, even better than the embroidery girls of the Shangyi Bureau, and the new pattern embroidered by Weng Cairen is expected. ”
Smart is just Liqing's fallacy, she is not all smart, at least this embroidery is categorically not comparable to Master Weng, although this statement has a disadvantage to trap Master Weng, but after all, the words are still praised. Because of Liqing's grace, Concubine Hou Xian was already a little unhappy with herself, she didn't want to show it too much, so she could only take Master Weng and be Dunjia for the time being, but Concubine Hou Xian obviously only had this interest in herself, but she didn't pay attention to the embroidery of Master Weng, that is, she said.
"I also heard that Weng Cairen's embroidery is better than the embroidery girl, my fair beauty is really a blessing, there is such a good sister on the side to support, even if I can't do it, there are people to help, but it is also the envy of the palace."
"Niangniang's pet crown six palaces, this food and clothing are all taken care of by the province, everything is the best in the palace, how can we sometimes learn some needlework by ourselves, ready for urgent use."
"My Fair Lady still needs what to prepare and use, it's just that I'm thinking and learning more, but it's also true, although My Fair Beauty always says that she can't needle and thread, but there is a talented professor next to her who wants to learn from My Fair Beauty's intelligence It's just a matter of time. If you learn the good needlework of Weng Cairen, and sew some close-fitting clothes for Your Majesty, it will show Your Majesty's grace. The more he spoke, the more Qin Shujiu understood that Concubine Hou Xian's words had no good intentions, but he was about to reply but asked Concubine Hou Xian to break off, and laughed and sarcastically: "This good needlework has been learned, and by the way, I am learning from Lai Zhaoyi how to make that soft and delicious pastry, obviously my fair beauty is more comfortable in the eyes of His Majesty." ”
Words, it really made Qin Shujiu startled, Lai Zhaoyi summoned her into Lifang Palace, but it was just a personal attendant around her, and it was also a private invitation, she didn't mention this matter to others, even Su Die didn't tell her, how could Concubine Hou Xian know. Who brought this into the greenhouse hall? Did Lai Zhaoyi have eyeliner on the side, or did he hide a fine work in his palace?
A lot of suspicion suddenly rose in his heart, but Qin Shujiu could only humbly reply, the meaning of humility could only make Concubine Hou Xian feel that she was weak but could not hide the grace of Liqing to treat her, that kind of humility was in exchange for Concubine Hou Xian's laughter: "In this palace, it is good for new concubines to not understand too much and always want to learn from themselves, but my fair beauty has to polish her eyes, if she learns the wrong thing from the wrong master, she has to pay her wife and then fold her soldiers." ”
Sure enough, it was because she entered Lifang Palace that Concubine Hou Xian had such a warning? Concubine Hou Xian was indeed warning herself, of course, Qin Shujiu's warning from Concubine Xian had to be taken to heart, and she responded clearly at the moment: "Niangniang's teachings and concubines should be remembered, thank you Niangniang for mentioning it." ”
"They are all sisters who serve His Majesty, and they don't mention anything." After speaking, he sighed, raised his hand to his neck and fanned it slightly, looked at the sun and said: "This day is really getting more and more poisonous, although I am standing in the shade by the water, but after talking for a long time, people are really a little dizzy." ”
"Niangniang's noble body Sheng'an, it's better not to stay outside the palace for a long time under such a day, if the heat is hot, Your Majesty will be distressed." Seeing that Concubine Hou Xian said that, Qin Shujiu was busy persuading, and Concubine Hou Xian also listened to it, and responded: "This is not false, since this is the case, the palace will not say more to the beautiful woman." After saying that, she shook back lightly, and Concubine Hou Xian said; Return to the palace. ”
After sending off Concubine Xian, Qin Shujiu said: "The concubine knocks on Concubine Xian." After the concubine Hou Xian walked away, she got up with the curtain. Supporting Qin Shujiu, who got up, the curtain said: "Beauty, the virtuous concubine has something to say. ”
"It's not just that there are words in the words, she is warning me clearly." His face was solemn and his words were a little lower, looking at the direction of Concubine Hou Xian's departure, Qin Shujiu said, and after hearing it, he also responded to the curtain holding Qin Shujiu: "Warning? It seems that Concubine Xian has a heart for beauty. In exchange for Qin Shujiu's light hum, his eyes darkened a little, and Qin Shujiu said: "Don't just treat me, I'm afraid that the virtuous concubines in this palace who have received too much favor treat them with a grudge." ”
"If it's such a beauty, you should be careful, but there is one thing that I don't understand."
"What's the matter? Go ahead. ”
"Fang Caixian's words, how can Lai Zhaoyi call the beauty of the greenhouse hall. It's our palace. After a pause, he looked at Qin Shujiu, and said, "Could it be that someone has inserted something in our palace?" ”
Curtain's mind is really fine, which makes Qin Shujiu very satisfied, it is a great blessing for her to have this girl, when even he smiled: "Your mind is sharp, but it is also important in one word." It's just that which of these two palaces has such an impure person, but we have to check it carefully. ”
The place where he is has the eyeliner of others, how can this make people sit and stand upright, and the curtain will be aware at the moment: "The curtain is clear, and it will be good to pay attention." After that, he paused again and said, "Beauty, can you still go to Languan Palace now?" ”
"Languan Palace?" After sighing, Qin Shujiu said, "Don't go first." ”
Concubine Hou Xian was taboo for her to gang up and camp, and she went to Languan Palace just after the words of warning, she didn't want Concubine Hou Xian to think that she was an ignorant person, so she could only accept the original intention and then go back to Zhong Sha Palace first.
