Chapter 193: False Phoenix
Chapter 193: False Phoenix
Chen Cainu held her waist and twisted in front of Sui'er, the golden tassel on her head swayed with her swing, swaying, shining in the sun.
"Concubines, see Deng Guiren!"
Before Sui'er could speak, Su Lan'er walked out at this time and sneered: "Yo, your status is higher than our nobles, we can't afford it." Why did the girl still think of coming to our cold palace and cold courtyard in the middle of the day? ”
Chen Cainu smiled embarrassedly: "It was the concubine who did something wrong that day, and I hope the noble lady will not be surprised!" ”
"How can we afford it, it's not weird, it sounds like there's no sincerity in coming out of your mouth!" Su Lan'er snatched another sentence.
Sui'er smiled gently, "Sister Lan'er, Chen Cainu may also be unintentional." Come on in, you're too heavy to stay in the sun for too long. ”
Su Lan'er was very reluctant to let go of her body and let Chen Cainu and Chen Cai come in. Sui'er accompanied Chen Cainu and walked to the tree in the courtyard, Sui'er said: "There is shade here, the hall is very stuffy, it is better to be refreshing here." ”
She gave Su Lan'er a look, and Su Lan'er understood that Sui'er didn't want to cause too much trouble, so she didn't let Chen Cainu enter the palace, and said a few words outside to send things away. So he went into the main hall and took out two low couches and two long carpets, and spread them on the ground. After the two sat down, Su Lan'er took a small case and put it between the two, and said with a smile: "Tea will come in a while, and the girl rarely comes, so I have to eat some tea here." ”
Sui'er's deep eyes rose lazily, and with a trace of imperceptible vigilance, she looked straight into Chen Cainu's pupils. "Why does Chen Cainu have time to come to Sui'er here today?"
"I'm free today, and I'm bored in the palace, I originally wanted to go to the queen's mother. I heard that the mother was busy, so I came to see the nobleman. ”
Sui'er's slender fingers gently fiddled with the string of jade beads in her hand, and said lightly: "The queen is naturally busy!" ”
"Ah, I also heard that the noble man suffered from someone else's nightmare two days ago, it is really hateful, who is so bold that he dares to harm the nobleman?"
"The emperor is also investigating!" Sui'er always lightly. I don't think I have anything to say to her.
"If you want me to say that. This person who harms the mother must be a person who is jealous of the beauty and talent of the mother. ”
"Probably!"
"Niangniang is also pregnant, do you have any favorite food? The new chef in my kitchen is very skilled. Whatever the mother wants to eat, I asked him to make some for the mother. He is especially good at making pastries, does the mother like to eat sour or sweet? ”
At this time, Su Lan'er brought tea and put it in front of Chen Cainu. "Thank you for your concern. We can cook our mother's food in our own kitchen. The emperor comes every day, and the cook is naturally the best. ”
Chen Cainu's face changed, "I don't know." The people around the noble lady are so sharp-toothed, this is the good teaching of the noble lady! ”
Sui'er still smiled faintly and said, "I spoil them, but they are not all unmeasured people." What to say, what to do. You can't go wrong. ”
Chen Cainu was choked back by Sui'er's careless words, and was so angry that she was about to have a seizure, but Bi'er pulled her beside her, forced herself to press, and said: "At the moment, the masters are talking, and it's not good to insert too many words." She picked up the hot tea on the table, blew the tea foam on it, took a sip, only to feel the fragrance in her mouth, thinking that Sui'er was favored, everything was the best, and her jealousy was even greater.
She gave Bi'er a look and said, "The concubine made some small pastries, and I don't know if the nobles like to eat them or not!" ”
Bi'er opened the food box, which contained four small snacks, osmanthus fragrant cake, red date balls, lotus buns, and kidney bean rolls. As soon as you open it, you will have a fragrant fragrance, and the color is very pleasing to look at.
Sui'er said with a smile: "This dim sum looks very good, so thank you Chen Cainu, Sister Lan'er, take it, wait for the emperor to come later, and eat some with the emperor." ”
Chen Cainu said: "The concubine doesn't know what flavor the mother likes, so she made some of everything, and told the concubine what the mother liked, and let the cook make some later." ”
"Okay, thank you very much." Sui'er asked Lan'er to take the pastry. also took a sip of tea, still lowered his head and fiddled with the bracelet, and did not take the initiative to talk to the Chen Cainu. Chen Cainu knew that Sui'er had been indifferent to herself since the last time, so she said: "It's not too early, so the concubine will leave and go back." Niangniang must tell her concubine what she wants to eat. ”
Sui'er didn't get up, so she stood up, "Then the palace won't send it, Lan'er, send Chen Cainu on behalf of the palace!" ”
"Whoa!" Lan'er agreed and made a gesture of please, and Chen Cainu had to leave in a sneer.
When Zhao Yu came back, he saw Sui'er sitting under the tree, and there were two teas on the small table in front of him, so he felt strange and asked, "Miss, who came just now?" ”
"That Chen Cainu, who brought pastries." Su Lan'er also turned back and replied.
Sui'er was silent, took another sip of tea, and muttered for a long time before saying, "Don't eat those snacks, find a pregnant cat and feed it." In the future, if Chen Cainu sends it again, it will also be eaten by that cat, remember, no one else is allowed to eat it. ”
"What do you mean, this is poisonous?" Su Lan'er asked.
"Whether it's poisonous or not, I don't know, but since what happened to her last time, I have always had mustard in my heart, since she put a prestige on me last time, she will never give me a snack with a kind heart, and all the food I eat in the future must be taken a good look, the food changes every day, don't repeat the same thing, and never let people know what I like? Remember? ”
Hearing Sui'er say this, Zhao Yu shuddered, "Miss, are the people in this palace really so terrible?" ”
"Terrible? Isn't it scary? I didn't understand before, I just felt that if I treat people sincerely, I will live peacefully in the palace, counting the days of each day, and I always want to have a child and be happy with the emperor for a long time. But now I know that such happiness can only be obtained by fighting, by grabbing, and by life. If you are not careful, it will be an abyss, and if you fall, you will be crushed and you will never recover. Only those who finally survive to the top will be lucky to live, but what kind of suffering will they have to go through. Now that I have the emperor's flesh and blood, I have to be more careful, not only for me, but also for him, this little life. ”
She stroked her still flat lower abdomen and sighed in a low voice, "I'm still far, far away from what they did to me. Therefore I hurt others, but I have to guard against them. In any case, I don't want the child in my womb to be implicated and something happen. ”
Zhao Yu and Su Lan'er were so shocked that the array of cold hairs in their vests stood up, and the whole person froze in place, only to feel cold sweat trickling down, like tiny insects crawling slowly, and where they passed, there was another chill.
Sun Jue said behind Sui'er at this time: "What Niangniang said is that we don't have the intention of harming others, but we need to have the heart of guarding against others. Even if it is to prevent people, it may not be comprehensive, and the events of the past few days show that people's hearts are the most terrible. ”
Sui'er slowly took another sip of tea, letting the fragrance slowly flow down her throat, and the corners of her lips raised a sneer: "Favorite concubine? What else is there besides having pampering? The biggest advantage of the favored concubine is just to be favored, a woman, after being favored, will fall out of favor, and she will only be worse than dead. When the red face is twilight and the scheming is exhausted, how can you compete for favor? Sister Yu, let me ask you, favor is face, power is lining, which one do you want? ”
Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I only know that Miss spoils me, and it will be enough for a lifetime." As for power, that's something Yu'er never thought of. ”
Sui'er smiled and said: "You are my jade sister, I will spoil you, and my pet will also bring you power, although you have not yet experienced this, you will understand it in the future." Pampering and power are the most amazing flowers that bloom on the tip of the heart, which one can be glamorous and shocking the world. So I want both. But if I can't, I choose power. People have to climb high, not just a little higher. If you are a little taller, everyone will be jealous and murder you; But when you win more than others and plan further, then in addition to giving in and admiring, they will be more afraid and dare not harm you again. ”
Zhao Yu and Su Lan'er both nodded as if they didn't understand, but Sun Jue smiled and said: "Niangniang's intelligence is really rare, in the harem, everyone wants to gain and doesn't want to lose." But when a person can give up everything, it is when she is truly fearless. So the road to be walked is still very long and difficult. Status and affection, I'm afraid I don't care about it, Niangniang really reached the extreme. ”
Sui'er stood up with Zhao Yu's support, only to feel that her feet were a little sore, she looked at the blue sky, and looked far away, and there were a few clouds floating in the sky.
"What should be left behind, what should not be left behind, Sui'er also understands this truth, but if life is really like this, what's the point of climbing to the top? I can not care about my status, but I can't care about the emperor's affection for me. Just like a fluttering butterfly, you can not live without the fragrance of the garden, but you can't do without your own pair of wings. I'm a little cold, Sister Yu, accompany me back to the temple to rest! The emperor is busy looking for that demon today, and I'm afraid he won't come to the West Palace. ”
Zhao Yu agreed and helped her into the Xinuan Pavilion. Su Lan'er looked at Sun Jue and said, "The two of us are with the right person." ”
Sun Jue smiled and said: "Such a master, friendship, and wisdom, we don't serve wholeheartedly, we are sorry for the grace God gave us." ”
Su Lan'er looked at Sun Jue, only to see that his expression was as cold as frost, but there was a smile in his eyes, and under the sunshine, his pupils flashed with cold light. "Niang Niang said, Ming'er has made the emperor clear, and drove out the people behind him and sent them to where they should go, what do you think?"
Sun Jue said: "Niangniang has already thought about it, so it is naturally good." It's just that these people in the palace can't stay, and the farther away they are, the better. I heard that the border is not very quiet, so it is better to send it to the army, which can be regarded as a contribution to the Han Dynasty. ”
Su Lan'er smiled: "This is a good idea, after a while, I will tell my mother!" It is also a warning to those who come to us to have nothing to do, so that they can also be in peace. (To be continued)
