Chapter 10 The heart is fickle

"Yutake." Qi Zheng called softly, and walked to the table and sat down.

Yuzhu looked down at the two of them and smiled faintly.

Wen Yue also sat down, looked up at the moon in the sky, and looked at Youzhu with a smile: "Sister Youzhu, are you homesick?" ”

Youzhu calmed his eyes, shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "If you enter this place, you will never go back, who doesn't miss home, don't miss your father." ”

"yes, I've been out for a night before I know it, and I don't know how many more nights like this will be in the future." Qi Zheng said helplessly.

The night at the palace was bleak, with only the faint chirping of insects. The breeze was blowing, and I couldn't see the delicate faces of the flowers on the side, but I could only see the shadows on the ground swaying slightly.

The three of them sat quietly for a while, and Qizheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Youzhu, since you are the county lord, you should not be in the draft, why did you enter the palace?" ”

When Youzhu heard this, he looked up at Qizheng, and then looked at the flower shadow on the ground: "My father is a king with a different surname, and he has military power in his hands, it is inevitable that someone in the court will mention something in the emperor's ear, an edict, I have to enter the palace, enter the Zihua Gate, and I will not kill the county lord, just a victim of politics, and the guarantee of the emperor's power." ”

Wen Yue asked curiously: "Although my sister should enter the palace, don't you have any expectations, why do you have a sad face all day long, and if you come, you will be safe." ”

Youzhu slowly got up, paced a few steps forward, looked back at Wen Yue and said: "Everything here is not up to me, what is the use of what I hope for, I can't hope for it, I don't dare to look forward to it, it's better not to look forward to it, I didn't want to come here, I was relieved to come, I didn't want to fight for anything, I was just a person watching the play." With that, he yawned slightly, turned and left.

Qizheng looked at Youzhu who was getting farther and farther away, and her eyes gradually became confused: "I'm helpless, she's even more helpless." ”

"What is my sister talking about?" Wen Yue looked at Qi Zheng curiously.

Qizheng shook his head: "No, I just want to learn from Youzhu's indifference." ”

Wen Yue nodded, and said, "Sister, we've known each other for so long, and we don't know if there are sisters in my sister's family?" My sister is from a famous family, so she must be dressed in fine clothes."

"I'm the youngest, and I have an older brother and two older sisters, as for brocade clothes and food, I don't care about that, clothes can cover my body, and I can eat without worry." Qi Zheng said.

"I also have an elder brother, don't hide it from my sister, my father just went to great lengths to send me to the palace for the sake of my brother's future, in my opinion, the family is the same as in the palace, my mother died early, my aunt always has a good voice and no anger towards me, although I am occasionally ridiculed in the palace, but I am happier than at home, at least, I have my sister with me."

Qizheng looked at Wen Yue and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll accompany you, I'm afraid that with the emperor's company in the future, I won't need my sister as a sister." ”

Wen Yue was a little shy: "Sister, don't make fun of me, if the emperor spoils me in the future, I want the emperor to spoil my sister too, we are sisters, of course we have to share blessings." ”

Qi Zheng smiled: "Okay, there are blessings and hardships, so now it's time to go to bed, do you want to go to bed together." ”

Wen Yue nodded, took Qizheng's hand and returned to Lanxia Palace.

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I heard Xi Rui talking: "There are too many people who can't be recruited in this palace, like yesterday's Yin Guifei, the show girl named Yunqing was unlucky, and she bumped into her, I thought I could tie up with the noble lord, but the future was buried, Yin Guifei can have the eldest son of the emperor, although the family background is not as good as Hua Guifei and Hui Fei, but the mother is more expensive than the son, so naturally she can't recruit her." Then there is the Hua Guifei who came today, Hua Guifei's father is the official Shangshu, although there is no prince under his knees, but he is both talented and beautiful, and he is even favored by the emperor, although Hua Guifei did not show the slightest malice, but had to be careful. ”

"Then, what about Concubine Zhen?" Shujin asked.

Xirui thought for a while: "I haven't heard of this Zhen concubine mentioned by my mother, I guess it's not a big person, after all, she is a concubine and she is just a concubine, by the way, there is still a person in this palace who can be met by tens of millions, otherwise the death will be more ugly than Yunqing." ”

"What is more ugly than Yun Qing's death, how did Yun Qing die." Wen Yue looked at Xi Rui angrily.

Xirui looked at Wen Yue: "I didn't say anything about her, don't listen to it." ”

"You just said that death is more ugly than Yunqing, I heard it, and my sister heard it." As he spoke, he looked sideways at Qizheng and turned around to stare at Xirui.

Xi Ying frowned and said, "Xirui, don't pay attention to her, continue to say, who must not be encountered?" ”

Xirui shook her head and sighed: "Hey, what am I, I didn't say anything, people are angry, don't forget, there is a bachelor's daughter standing next to them, the prime minister's granddaughter, Prince Yu's sister-in-law, which is something that a weak woman can provoke." With that, he lay on his side on the bed and fell asleep.

Xi Ying glanced at Wen Yue, and before she could say anything, the hall fell silent......

Early in the morning, Qi Zheng is sitting in front of the bronze mirror to make up, there are very few palace maids in the early palace, only one palace maid in each hall is responsible for the diet and daily life of the show girl, and the other palace maids are mostly working hard, serving things, and dressing up have to rely on the show girl herself.

Qi Zheng picked up the pink velvet flower in front of the table and looked at the bronze mirror, compared the flower on the bun, and did not wear it for a long time, Wen Yue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, got up and walked to Qi Zheng, took the velvet flower in Qi Zheng's hand, and put it on Qi Zheng's hair bun with a smile: "Why should my sister bother with a flower in somewhere, then my sister will not be annoyed to death by trivial matters in the future." ”

Qizheng smiled and turned her head to look at Wen Yue: "It's always not wrong to pay attention everywhere." ”

Standing up, I suddenly saw Youzhu sitting at the table, holding a silk handkerchief in his hand, fixed his eyes, Qizheng approached, saw that there were peonies embroidered on it, and there were a few lines of small characters, and said lightly: "Youzhu, is this silk handkerchief embroidered by you, but this peony is embroidered extremely delicately, and those lines of words are slightly heroic." ”

Youzhu smiled slightly, and stroked the peony embroidered on the handkerchief with his slender fingers: "The peony is embroidered by my mother, and I have been carrying it with me all these years, and the words on it are inscribed by my father." ”

Wen Yue walked to the side and sat down, and sighed: "Sister Youzhu, you are homesick again, but you can at least see things and miss your relatives, and I don't even have a thought." He looked at Qizheng again: "Sister, does your father and mother have something to bring you into the palace?" ”

Qizheng shook her head: "No, no." After saying that, as if thinking of something, he raised his hand and looked at the jade bracelet on his wrist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go to the garden." Dongmei came in and said.

Qi Zheng and the others followed Dongmei to the garden, and were about to step out of the palace gate, when a eunuch hurriedly ran over, stood at the door, and said respectfully: "Hua Guifei please Xi Ying, Qi Zheng Xiao Lord, Shujin Little Lord, and Wen Yue, Little Lord Wenyue go to Wanfu Palace for a small gathering." ”

Qi Zheng looked back at Wen Yue who was standing behind, and wondered in her heart, "Why did Concubine Hua pass Wen Yue, and how did she know that the show girl who fell yesterday was Wen Yue?" ”

"My father-in-law is tired of leading the way for us." I owe a lot of money.

Qi Zheng didn't think much about it, and went to Wanfu Palace with Xi Ying.

Out of the palace gate to the garden, Aunt Feng Nian walked towards the garden, and the other show girls were already waiting in the garden. Aunt Nian greeted her.

The leading eunuch arched his hand and said, "Aunt Nian, the noble concubine Niangniang instructed the servants to come and summon a few little masters. ”

Aunt Nian nodded, and the eunuch led them on.

Walking in the palace road, since that day into the first palace, today is the first time to come out, Qi Zheng raised his eyes to look at the familiar and unfamiliar red wall, helplessly sighed "This is a place to render people's hearts, in the past, I didn't believe it, now, I have to believe, Xi Rui's change proves everything, that night her attitude towards me was still very friendly, why was I so sarcastic last night?" ’

"Xiao Linzi, you are really a busy person, where are you busy this early in the morning?" A palace maid walked in front.

"We are all slave people, how can we not do what the master commands, no, Master Hua asked me to pass these little masters to Wanfu Palace, how can I be as comfortable as Sister Rong'er." The leading eunuch Xiao Linzi looked at the palace maid and said with a smile.

The palace maid covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, we are all slaves, how can slaves be at ease, okay, you can go, don't let your master wait for a long time, Yun Niangniang should also wake up, I have to go and serve." After that, he walked by, looked at Qizheng, haunted them, smiled slightly, and walked back.

"Father-in-law Xiaolinzi." Shujin shouted.

Xiao Linzi stopped, turned around and said, "What's the matter, little master, let's go quickly, don't let Niangniang wait for a long time." ”

Shujin took out a piece of silver, took Xiao Linzi's hand, and put it in his palm: "I'll wait for Father-in-law Lao to mention more." ”

Xiao Linzi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put away the silver and said with a smile: "The little master wants to know what's going on, and the slave must know everything." ”

Shujin glanced at Xi Ying, Xi Ying understood the meaning, and said: "Today, the concubine invited me to go, although I don't know what the so-called thing is, but it is a good strategy to be careful, and I hope that my father-in-law will give me some advice, so as not to say something wrong and make my mother unhappy." ”

"Little master, this is the right person, on weekdays, they are all slaves serving the mother, what this mother likes, what she doesn't like, the slave is clear." Xiao Linzi turned around, led the Qizheng and them to continue walking, and said: "This lady likes naturally what the emperor likes, what the mother hates, and what the mother likes, it's just that the former is a thing, the latter is a person, and that's all the slaves can say. ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Xi lingered.

Wen Yue looked at Qi Zheng with a puzzled expression: "Sister, do you understand this, how do I think that saying it is the same as not saying it, what you like is what the emperor likes, and what you hate is what the emperor likes." ”

"It's okay if you don't understand, just be careful with your words." Qi Zheng said lightly.

Shujin glanced at Wen Yue: "I can't understand what I said like this, it's really incomprehensible that Hua Niangniang would invite you to go with us." ”

"Jin'er, she didn't understand what to do with us, and Jin'er didn't do it for her." Xi Ying said.

Wen Yue wanted to speak back, but Qi Zheng pulled up her hand and clenched it, and then swallowed her words back.

After walking for a while, they came to a palace gate, and the three lacquered gold characters 'Wanfu Palace' on the plaque on the door were reflected in the eyes of Qi Zheng and them, and they stepped into the door and came to a palace to stand still.

"A few little masters, wait a minute, and the minions will go to report." Xiao Lin Zi said.

"Xiaolinzi, when Niangniang saw that you hadn't brought anyone for a long time, she went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye first." A palace maid walked out of the hall and said, looking at the show girl standing in front of her, she saluted: "A few little masters please wait in the hall." ”

Qi Zheng, nodded in response, and stepped into the hall with her skirt on......
