Chapter Ninety-Six: Light Rain
Xuan Guiren had a cold, her head was swollen, and she didn't have the heart to speak, although she didn't like to greet her, but she still told Hua Ying that she had a cold, Hua Ying was pregnant with a child and was careful of being infected and affected the dragon fetus, so the two only said a few words and came out again.
"Actually, Guiren Xuan also said a word for me when she first entered the palace, so she pulled you to see her." Concubine Jing said the reason for coming to Xianfu Palace on the road: "At that time, I was still a tepid nobleman for a few years, and Xuan Guiren also entered the palace with you, in fact, I can see that she is not a bad person." ”
"Xuan Guiren is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she is the same for the emperor, I heard that she is about to poke her fingers into a sieve in order to sew the emperor's bedclothes." Hua Ying felt more about Xuan Guiren in her heart, so she echoed a few words.
"Yes, such a person can't be friends after all, it's just that you see that she still thinks about not infecting you with the wind and cold today, which is also intimate." Concubine Jing smiled: "You helped that concubine speak, but she didn't even say thank you, they are all eccentric people." ”
"Yes, there are all kinds of people in this palace." The two looked at each other and smiled, and gradually walked away.
Seeing that the time was slowly passing, and it was about to enter summer, the rain began to fall, dripping, the water splashed on the window sill from time to time, and the puddles on the ground were also rippling, Hua Ying leaned against the window, and wanted to go out to enjoy the rain, but was stopped by Qingxu.
"Niang Niang is always like this, thinking about going out and wandering around, this is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and it is raining heavily outside, you have to think about yourself." Qingxu served the freshly boiled fetal porridge, although it was full of color and flavor, but Hua Ying was a little tired of drinking it.
"It's summer, and I don't want to drink this kind of porridge at all, and besides, how can it be considered pouring rain outside? Sparsely lazy. Hua Ying pushed it aside crookedly, looking unreasonable, which gave Qingxu, a palace maid who was worried about her daily conscientiousness, a headache.
"Look at how big the rain beads are, and if they hit the stomach, the dragon fetus will hurt." Hui Xin was used to seeing Hua Ying like this, and smiled lightly: "Niangniang, just listen to Aunt Qingxu, otherwise Auntie will have to sigh again when she goes back, and we will feel distressed when we hear it." ”
"Other people's minions are all dedicated to their masters, and the master is not enough, just our mother, always dislike nagging when she says a few more words." Lan Yu also took the oil-paper umbrella and walked in, and said with a smile.
"Isn't it?" Qingxu also joked with them: "Niangniang, drink it quickly, otherwise it will be cold for a while, and it will save your stomach." ”
"Master, Fei Chang is here, and now at the door, can you see?" Hua Ying had just drunk the porridge when she heard Xiaofuzi's announcement.
"Why did Fei Chang come here, it's raining." In a blink of an eye, Qingxu lost the relaxed appearance just now: "Master...... The gossip in the palace is very troublesome, so it's best not to see it. ”
"It's okay, you know everything, how can she not know, so that people will be closed, and it will also seem that our Yuqing Pavilion is a child." Hua Ying picked up a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth, rinsed her mouth again before saying, "Xiaofuzi go and invite Fei Changzai to come in." ”
"Huh." Xiao Fuzi quickly withdrew, invited people in, Fei Chang was standing outside, this kind of rainy day is windy, the oil paper umbrella is useless, the rain is on the body, although the side hall to the main hall is only a few steps, but Fei Chang is still drenched.
As soon as she walked in, Hua Ying saw that Fei Chang was wet in many places on his body: "Why did Fei Chang come over in the rain?" Huixin, go and take Fei Chang to change his clothes in there, don't wear wet, it's not good for your body after a long time. ”
"Yun Concubine Niangniang is polite, I just feel that it didn't rain a few days ago, and I panicked, and it rained today, so I asked Niangniang to gossip about homely things, Niangniang didn't feel rude, so I didn't have to change it, and when I went back left and right, I would still be drenched in the rain, so I wouldn't stain Niangniang's clothes." Fei Chang really seemed to have come to Hua Ying to gossip, but he just brushed off a few drops of water from his arm.
"Fei is always careful, I naturally don't dislike it, I'm just afraid that you will be uncomfortable." Hua Ying signaled that Hui Xin didn't need to go, and then said to Fei Changzai: "Sit down, what are you drinking, I just finished drinking this unpalatable fetal porridge." ”
"Niangniang is in the blessing and don't know the blessing, just smell the smell and know that there are some good things inside, Niangniang or drink more for the sake of the dragon fetus." Fei Changzai is also extremely gentle to Huixin: "Just ordinary tea, there is a girl with Lao Huixin." ”
Hui Xin responded, and went to serve tea, but muttered to the little Fuzi at the door: "I originally lived in a palace, and I didn't look up and look down with my mother, and I didn't come to sit in our palace, why did I run over when it rained." ”
"Fei Chang looks like a humble and respectful person, and he treats Niangniang the same, but I don't know if it's good or bad, Niangniang is pregnant now, it's better for her to leave early." Xiaofuzi opened the curtain for Huixin: "Miss Huixin, slow down, you work hard for everything yourself." ”
"As long as the mother is comfortable, what is this." Hui Xin seemed to be amused, pursed her lips before entering the inner hall, and offered the tea: "Now the temperature is just right, Niang Niang can drink it." ”
"Last time, I didn't thank Niangniang for her unpunished." Fei Chang secretly sighed that Hui's heart was so meticulous, and he took a sip of tea, and it was still as soaking as always.
Hua Ying seemed to see some sincerity in her eyes, thinking that she was here for this matter: "Where, that's not your responsibility, everyone has eyes, by the way, what's wrong with that Miss Xinwei?"
"It's no big problem if she didn't get selected for the second draft, but the Queen Mother was extremely dissatisfied with her, and then she was kicked out, and said that their family would never be able to draft again. This time it was miserable, the number of people in the family who begged for relatives was countless, and after going back, not only did the relatives lose face, let alone ask for relatives. Fei Chang couldn't help but smile as she spoke: "Her father casually found someone outside the capital to marry her, and he didn't even prepare the dowry, and he probably still disliked her for dragging the whole family back, after all, with her family, there are still other women of the right age." ”
Seeing that Fei Chang was a little gloating, Hua Ying remained silent: "Then she will not be able to get any good fruits when she goes to her parents' house in the future, but there will be evil retribution." ”
"That's natural, and it's been spread all over the capital, if I were her, I wouldn't have the face to live in this world." Fei Chang drank the flower tea in one gulp, and it looked extremely refreshing, which showed how vicious Karla Xinwei was in her mind.
"It's just that only the three of you and I and the Shun noble Yu Guiren knew about it that day, plus four palace maids, why did the matter spread so quickly?" Hua Ying asked seemingly casually, observing Fei Chang's expression.
Sure enough, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes: "It must have been spread by the palace maid who was with us that day." ”
The palace maid is only from Chuxiu Palace, and she has no grievances with anyone, so how can she target the daughter of a big family like this?
"Presumably the reason why the Queen Mother is so angry is also the truth about what you told the Queen Mother and other mothers, I said that the Queen Mother asked me to tell Yu Guiren to know how to restrain that day, and the palace is also strange, obviously the palace only told the queen that it was Karla Xinwei rude, so she punished her slightly, and did not tell the details of the situation, but the queen mother knew it clearly."
Fei Chang's mind turned quickly, knowing that she was a little to blame herself, but she didn't feel embarrassed on her face, and said as usual: "Niangniang also knows that Karla Xinwei treats the concubine like a subordinate, and the concubine hates her to the extreme, so she didn't think so much and told the Queen Mother the truth, forgetting Niangniang's instructions." ”
Hua Ying did say to her before leaving, don't make a noise about this matter, after all, it is a royal draft, and it is always not good-looking to spread out, if someone asks, it will be roughly perfunctory, but at that time she only wanted to make Carla Xinwei not die well.
"You're telling the truth, there's nothing to blame in this palace." Although Hua Ying said this, what she thought in her heart was that Xu Feiran's family relied on the big tree of Karla Xinwei's family, and it was estimated that she was also hugging the thigh of Karla's family with her face, Xu Feiran was close to Karla Xinwei, since she chose so, she should have thought that she would inevitably be called by Karla Xinwei, and now speaking of it, it is the same as her being a completely innocent and persecuted person, which is really unpleasant.
"It's good that the mother can understand." Hua Ying was very good at her disguise, Fei Changzai couldn't see what Hua Ying really thought in her heart, she just thought that she didn't continue to blame herself: "Sister Yun's flower tea is the most fragrant tea that the concubine has ever drunk, but she made it herself?"
"That's nature, if you like it, take some away, there are gardenias blooming in this yard every year, and the palace will let Hui Xin and Lan Gardenia pick flowers and make them together, although it is not as detailed as the palace, but it also has a unique flavor."
"It's embarrassing, but in the future, the concubine also picked flowers, and asked the two girls and Sister Yun to teach me how to do it." Fei Changzai didn't ask for anything, but cleverly found a reason for herself to come back next time, she knew the rumors in the palace, but she didn't want to avoid suspicion, but wanted to confirm the rumors, so that the emperor could remember her more, and for this reason, she was not afraid to be a stand-in.
After a while, the rain gradually subsided, and Fei Chang stood up: "I bothered Niangniang today, and the concubine should take shelter from the rain in Niangniang." ”
"If you don't have it, you will come back often." Hua Ying also got up symbolically, and let Hui Xin send Fei Changzai out.
But just after sending Fei Chang away, Hua Ying felt that something was not quite right, not anything else, but a slight pain in her stomach.
Hua Ying had never had this kind of experience, and when she was pregnant with the fifth elder brother, she had no stomachache when she was about five months old, and she was shocked into a cold sweat for a while, and even people forgot to shout.
