Chapter 1O9 The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching
Wang Meiren's child was not saved after all, and the six princes were also taken away from Wei Chongrong's side, as for the Wei sisters, because of Wang Meiren's matter, Liqing sent all the grievances to Wei Chongrong, and Wei Chongyi had a face very similar to Chongrong, it was because of this that Liqing and the two of them were grounded together, if it were not for his will, the Wei sisters would have to spend their lives in the palace.
Because of Wang Meiren's appearance, the palace is much quieter, although it is quiet, it is not depressing, after all, compared to Wang Meiren's fetus in the womb, the woman in this palace is afraid that she hopes that her child will not be seen sooner. There is a concubine with a dragonborn in her belly, and even if she falls asleep at night, she can't sleep. The entire harem is afraid that only Su Die is the only one who feels sorry for the fetus in Wang Meiren's womb, as for Master Weng? Qin Shujiu couldn't see it clearly.
In the past few days, I have occasionally gone to the Zhongsha Palace to have a look, although sometimes Su Die mentions Wang Meiren's matter, and Master Weng also regrets it, but Qin Shujiu has not forgotten one thing that Su Die mentioned before.
She had seen Master Weng and the Six Princes playing with the Pole in the Imperial Garden, the Six Princes had grown up in the palace since childhood, how could he be a little prince who knew such a thing as a Pole. No matter how greedy the palace people around her are, no one leads her first, she always feels that she will not take the initiative to take the sixth prince to play with that dangerous thing, if she thinks about it from anywhere, Qin Shujiu feels that this matter does not make sense, but she can't help but put her mind on Master Weng.
It's just that why did Master Weng teach the Six Princes to play that blasting rod? Whether it's because she thinks it's fun or has a deep meaning, she can't figure it out at the moment. I thought about this a few times in my heart, but I didn't pay attention to what the two of them were saying. It was also Su Die who shouted Qin Shujiu a few times before he came back to his senses, and then looked at the two of them and smiled.
"Sister Su is calling me?" After asking with a smile, Su Die responded: "Naturally, I am calling you, otherwise I can still shout something next to me, but what are you thinking?" After such a god, you had to shout several times before you would reply to me, but you didn't listen to what we just said. ”
Qin Shujiu really didn't care about the conversation they had just now, so he smiled and said: "I thought about something in my heart, and if I accidentally got distracted, sister, don't blame." After speaking, Su Die asked, "But what are you thinking?" Qin Shujiu didn't answer, but smiled and said: "It's nothing, by the way, my sister and the teacher are talking about something, it looks interesting." ”
Su Die's temperament is like this. It's easy to get people off the hook. At that moment, he didn't ask Qin Shujiu what he was thinking about but said: "Master Fang Cai talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, thinking about how this banquet should be appropriate. ”
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet Liqing summoned the concubine, and this family banquet must not lose face. There is no outside for the family banquet, and they are all royal relatives, so it is inevitable that Liqing will rise up and ask them to show their talents. If you don't prepare for this first. In case the time comes, the errand falls on you. It's also that he lost face in front of everyone and couldn't save face.
I don't know how the two of them thought of this piece so much, but it's also the truth. After all, the family banquet looks like indulgence and casualness, but if a person accidentally loses his face, it is a small matter, which makes Liqing unhappy, then it is true. What's more, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in this palace is not only as simple as a family banquet, Liqing's birthday is also within the full moon reunion, and the women in the harem are naturally full of thoughts.
Even Su Die moved her mind, thinking that this time she also tried her best, but she couldn't be quiet by nature, and when she didn't leave the cabinet, she didn't learn a talent or two except for dancing knives and guns outside all day, and now when she really wants to use it, she feels that the swords and swords of the past are useless. It was to annoy this matter, so that her eyebrows were frowned, and looking at her frowning eyebrows, Qin Shujiu asked.
"Sister, what good thoughts did you think about for Your Majesty?" After asking with a smile, Su Die frowned and said, "What good way can I have, I am not good at dancing or music, even if I don't know anything about the qin and Xiao Di." If you want to say it, you only know some kung fu in fists and feet, but you can't think of anything else. frowned and said slowly, it was also embarrassing Su Die, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really didn't know a thing or two, but he asked Master Weng to laugh after listening to it.
"That punch and kick? Sister, don't move the family banquet on the day of His Majesty's birthday, let's play a set of boxing sticks, on that day, Amitabha, my sister still accepts this heart. "That kind of situation is a headache just thinking about it, and I really can't imagine what it will be like to have Su Die do this, when the birthday family banquet is really made.
Master Weng's words also made Su Die's face feel dry, so he smiled embarrassedly and said: "But I really can't think of anything else, I am not proficient in everything like sparse wine, nor am I as good as my master, and I am excellent in needlework and can sew those one or two close-fitting bedclothes for Your Majesty." If not, you will teach me, but I will also embroider a sachet and give it to Your Majesty. "I can't find what I'm good at, but I put the idea on the needle and thread, and immediately changed to Qin Shujiu "Amitabha" is to sit there and beg, Qin Shujiu said.
"Sister, don't move this heart, the skill of needlework is not something that can be learned in a short period of time, sister, if you want to embroider a sachet for Your Majesty, maybe you will have to explain to Your Majesty everything on the sachet carefully. That's really troublesome, so it's better not to prepare this thing. ”
Don't look at Qin Shujiu talking as if he was thinking about himself, but in these words, he took the opportunity to ridicule Su Die, and also asked Su Die to twist it and said, "Then what should I prepare?" He asked Master Weng and said, "Since my sister knows how to do kung fu on her fists and feet, it is also good to learn a sword dance from Concubine Lide." ”
Needless to say, Concubine Lide's sword dance is self-explanatory, but if it can't be equalized, Su Die's set of sword dances will only be called Concubine Lide's music and dance is even more exciting and novel, and it is also called Su Die at the moment, just shook her head and no longer bothered about her own affairs, Su Die then said: "Don't talk about me, what are you two thinking about?" After asking, Master Weng replied with a smile: "That's what my sister just said, embroidered a close-fitting bedclothes, and also congratulated His Majesty on a long life." ”
Master Weng's needlework is the best, and it is expected that he will have this intention, and at the moment, Su Die was also out of interest and looked back at Qin Shujiu. Then he said, "What about you?" But what's in mind? After asking, Qin Shujiu replied, "Thoughts? If you have any thoughts, you will see. ”
"How can we see it then? You can't give a gift to Your Majesty, you have to wait until the family banquet and birthday are hand-picked by Your Majesty before you think about it temporarily. "In that case, you can come up with a good idea if you think about it, but if you are not careful, you will lose face. Su Die had also made sufficient preparations in advance for this matter, but Qin Shujiu's temperament was usually quiet, but he was not in a hurry but smiled faintly.
"I have to prepare everything like that, besides, I don't know if there will be this appearance at the birthday banquet, so why bother to disturb yourself for the sake of the unknown. Besides, even if His Majesty really followed the inertia at the previous birthday banquet, he really temporarily ordered the concubines to cheer up. That doesn't necessarily fall on us. Why worry? Laughing and answering, Qin Shujiu was not in a hurry, and it was Su Die's temperament that made her say without hurrying.
"As the saying goes, it's always right to prepare one step in advance, and if you're free, think about it. lest you really fall behind on this errand. But it's annoying. "It's really Qin Shujiu who is a sister. At this time, Su Die would tell him again and again, but Qin Shujiu only smiled back, but he couldn't see half of his worries.
She certainly wasn't worried. Because even if Liqing will not hand-pick herself for this family banquet and birthday, she has prepared a big gift for His Majesty.
It will definitely be an unforgettable gift for him.
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is a major matter, not to mention that this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is also Liqing's birthday, and it is naturally even more arbitrary.
The inner servants are busy, and the concubines in the palace will naturally not be idle, although I don't know what the situation will be at the Christmas banquet, but the part of the mind offered to His Majesty must also be prepared early. It was under the thoughts of the concubines that the fifteenth of August soon arrived. The palace was also lively early, and it was rare for the fifteen families to feast on Liqing in the early morning, but they also wanted to get out of the affairs and affairs for a while. Today's trip to Liqing is the most important thing for the concubines, but since the early morning, no one has looked at Liqing's figure, and I don't know where people are, but except for Yu Shan, they didn't bring any attendants.
Every August 15, Liqing will disappear, which is also an unwritten rule in the palace, because it is known that His Majesty does not like to be disturbed during the day, so the old man in the palace is also no one to find His Majesty, but it is bitter for the new concubines who enter the palace, so they are all guessing in their hearts. No one knew where Liqing would go on his birthday, because he had never mentioned it to anyone, not even if it was Concubine Zheng or the most favored Concubine Lide, but Qin Shujiu knew.
I went to the Zichen Hall early to knock on the peace, who knew that when people went, they knew that Liqing was not in the hall, and Su Die, who could only come back if he couldn't see him, was confused and complained, but he said lightly: "It's really strange, today is not Your Majesty's birthday?" But His Majesty was somehow not in the palace, but he didn't know where he went. ”
Because he couldn't find anyone to look at him, he was a little bored, and he was afraid that Su Die was not the only one who was bored today, so he smiled lightly, Qin Shujiu said: "Xu is where Your Majesty has something to do, how can I guess this Your Majesty's thoughts, since my sister has gone to knock on An, even if Your Majesty is not in the palace, the inner servants are also kind, Your Majesty should know your sister's thoughts." ”
"That's the case, but I still want to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday in person." He was also a little disappointed, but Qin Shujiu only smiled, and then got up and planned to leave the palace. Because she saw that she had changed her clothes, Su Die asked, "What's the matter?" Want to get out of the palace? But where to go? After asking, Qin Shujiu replied: "Suddenly, I remembered one thing, and I went out to do it." ”
"yes, come back sooner."
Because she was not in the mood, Su Die didn't ask Qin Shujiu where she was going to do something, but just told her to come back early, it was good that she didn't ask, at least Qin Shujiu didn't have to think of a way to prevaricate. just said, "I'll come back when I'm done", and Qin Shujiu left the Ke Sleeping Palace under Nanzhi's service.
It was lively outside, but there was a place in this lively palace that was still deserted today, and Nanzhi from Zhong Sha Palace also asked Qin Shujiu where he was going, but he only heard her say to find Liqing, and then he didn't say more. After serving for a day, he didn't ask any more questions, but he walked to a secluded place in the palace, and Qin Shujiu suddenly stopped.
The place where he stopped was very close to the place where the wisteria tree was planted, and it was here that Nanzhi instantly understood in his heart, and he also asked, "Sister, is Your Majesty here?" Qin Shujiu replied, "He will only be here today." After speaking, he smiled at Nanzhi and said, "You wait here, I'll go back." After speaking, he took the bamboo basket from Nanzhi's hand and walked over.
From the courtyard planted by the wisteria tree, it is extremely elegant and quiet, as if there is no one in the courtyard, but Qin Shujiu can be sure that Liqing must be here today, must be here, and he is alone. Standing outside the courtyard with his hand across the bamboo basket, he was suddenly a little nervous in his heart, so he took a deep breath to confirm that Yu Shanwei was waiting outside, and Qin Shujiu entered the courtyard.
Pushed the door and walked in, the courtyard was still as quiet as ever, and the sound of the door "squeak" brought some sound to the courtyard, but soon it was quiet again. The courtyard was comfortable, but it was also diametrically opposed to the excitement in the palace, that is, he entered cautiously and then quietly closed the courtyard door, Qin Shujiu walked in with a bamboo basket.
It is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, and the flowers of the wisteria tree have long been gone, and the purple waterfall full of trees is now invisible, only the fruit of a tree hangs on the treetops. The purple sea faded and turned into a tree of green fruits, hanging like pods, hanging on the tree in unison, but it was also full of trees. Today, the basket collapsed and entered here, Qin Shujiu came to find the wisteria flowers and fruits of this tree, carried the basket and went straight to the bottom of the tree, and raised his head to look at the pods hanging down from the tree, Qin Shujiu put down the basket in his hand.
This wisteria tree grows very well, even when it is old, it is still luxuriant, because the hanging branches and vines are almost down, so not all the fruits grow on the tree. You raised his head and looked for it, but he found the fruit that he could reach, and Qin Shujiu stepped on his feet and then stretched out his hand to reach it.
The heavy fruit grows on the tree, it looks like it is heavy and pressed, and it will fall if the wind blows at any time, who knows that it really takes some strength to tear it off with bare hands, and it takes some strength to tear off a bunch of fruits, carefully fold off the dry branches and then put them in the bamboo basket, Qin Shujiu searched again, and when she found a bunch to see if it was enough, she stopped and stretched out her hand, who knew that this bunch was higher than that, and it was impossible to reach it even if she stepped on her feet.
After working hard, I couldn't help but mutter, "Why, why can't I reach it." When she couldn't reach it, she somehow suddenly reached out a hand behind her, which went directly over the top of her head and then pulled the bunch of fruits, just gently pulling hard, and the whole bunch of fruits broke off.
This hand stretched out and suddenly called Qin Shujiu was surprised, but he was stunned for a moment and then seemed to remember something, turned around violently to look, and when he saw that the person standing behind him was Liqing, Qin Shujiu was already surprised on his face, and he hurriedly took a few steps back and then saluted.
"The concubine has worshiped Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed and saintly." (To be continued.) )
