Volume 1: The Storm Chapter 33: Stay Late Among the Flowers

Within a month, Zixin was promoted from a palace maid to a permanent presence. The momentum is so strong that only Concubine De can compare with it back then. It's just that when it comes to talking in the palace, she has neither the appearance of Wei Yu nor the gentle attitude of Concubine De, she is no different from ordinary palace people, why she can make a career is really puzzling. Later, some palace people who passed by the imperial garden at that time speculated that she was very good at pretending to be pitiful, so she aroused His Majesty's love and pity, and even personally carried her back to the palace.

If the trend fails, the servants of the palace also turned around one after another, and showed favor to Lijingxuan in Chuxiu Palace, Zixin disdained it, and ordered Ruyan to return all the things sent. He also sent men to invite him to come.

Qing Shi has been haunted by the events of that day, and he is even more reluctant to go. However, Zixin came to invite him three or four times, but Qing Shi had no intention but to be invited. Ziyin twisted his foot in the Imperial Garden the day before yesterday, and only took Nianjin with him in the Qing Dynasty.

Chuxiu Palace, Yikun Palace, and Yongshou Palace are all on a road in the West Sixth Palace, and they are not too far apart. Chuxiu Palace since the current dynasty, only lived in a Kangxi nine years of the death of the Hui concubine, and then it has been empty, until some time ago the Ministry of Affairs picked up the given permanent residence, and then Zixin also moved to this palace, because of disrepair, it is inevitable that it is a little dilapidated, Qing Yu ordered the construction department to renovate.

Zixin heard that the time had come, and led Qing Shi to the desk and sat down: "I was still talking about my sister, and this is here." Like a goose, quickly make tea for the nobles. ”

Qing Shi said indifferently: "I don't know why you are often inviting me to come?" ”

"Then Japan invited my sister to go to the Qin'an Temple to pray for blessings, but it was put on hold because of some things, and my sister still feels that she can't go."

Qing Shi watched her make a pie, played with the tea cup in his hand and said coldly: "It's just a trivial matter, so why worry about it." Now that he is always in deep favor with God, the Lord does not dare to mind. ”

"Why did my sister say this, how dare my sister compete with my sister?"

"Why do you have to be so coy?" Qing Shi was not in a hurry, and his eyes were staring directly at Zixin.

Zixin saw that Qing Shi was quite hostile to her, and knew that her plan that day was seen by her, so she opened her mouth to explain: "I deliberately led you there that day, I didn't want to be evil to others, but she humiliated me first, and she was in trouble everywhere when she served An Concubine in the past, I just wanted to protect myself." Seeing Qingshi's expression softened slightly, he then spoke, "Zixin has never forgotten that her sister helped Concubine An Niangniang in the first place, if there was no sister to invite Your Majesty, Zixin would not be standing here today." The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by a spring, Zixin will never come to harm her sister, and she will never compete with her sister for favor. ”

Qing Shi's brows stretched slightly when he heard her words.

"I'll just help An Concubine Quan to accumulate blessings, and I don't need you to repay you, you are now favored by the Holy Grace, and there are not a few people who are staring at you outside. It's enough that you can handle those things. ”

"Sister, don't worry, Zixin has her own measure."

Qing Shi tasted this cup of tea, and then said: "That Guo Chang is now punished, I don't think I will embarrass you anymore." ”

Zixin's eyes sank, and he shook his head and said: "I have been in Yikun Palace for several years, and I know that Guo Chang is a person, she has always been eager to repay me, and she will not let me go easily, but I am afraid that there is something waiting for me later." ”

Qing Shi used to think that Zixin was a poor person. Now Fang Xiao is so scheming that she calculates people without leaking. That's right, if it weren't for that, how could she survive so far.

When the Qing Dynasty left, I saw that the people of the Construction Division were repairing the Yilan Pavilion where they always lived, erecting poles and beams, which was quite lively. However, among the flowers and plants on the side, a person was serving a few pots of orchids, seeing that she was dressed as a palace person, Qing Shi couldn't help but sigh: "Orchids, but they are rare in the palace." ”

But I don't know that the 'palace man' looks back, not a bystander, but a fixed presence. It's just that this outfit is too simple, Qing Shi's plain dress has been elegant, and she is much simpler than Qing Shi.

Dingchang bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "If the qi is long, the heart will not change." Although Huanchu is a woman, she also likes the temperament of orchids. ”

Qing Shi nodded, and said suspiciously: "It's just that I always dress up here......"

Ding Chang explained: "The concubine used to serve by the side of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager advocated frugality, and the concubine was accustomed to simplicity. ”

Qing Shi recalled that in the past, her outfit was indeed much more modest than that of the same position.

"The lead is not resistant, and the fat is suspended. Constant can have such a realm, and it is beyond the reach of the Qing Dynasty. ”

He smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he still calmly ironed his post: "The noble man has a good reputation, but the beginning of the ring is just a balm, where the realm comes from."

Although it was canonized late at the beginning of Wanliu Hahuan, it was relatively clear and long, and it was not as twisted as ordinary people. Huan Chu offended Wen Guifei because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, one day Wen Guifei met her in the imperial garden, she wanted to be embarrassed, but she was pressed back, and she couldn't find a trace of mistake, so angry that Wen Guifei went back to Yongshou Palace and smashed several porcelain bottles. After hearing about it, Qing Shi also had to admire the person in front of him, who could leave safely from Concubine Wen, looking at the six palaces, Qing Shi was also the first time to see it.

"The palace people raised in the Empress Dowager's palace are indeed different from other places, and their words are measured, and they are comfortable when they speak."

"When I looked at the nobles, I felt a sense of intimacy, and I thought it was fate. If you don't dislike it, you might as well go to the pavilion in the courtyard, warm a pot of wine, sit down and chat? ”

Qing Shi nodded in agreement. Dingchang immediately raised his eyes, and the palace people put a lamp. Qing Shi was very curious, he had never heard of what she had with the concubines of which palace, and today he invited her to drink here, which made Qing Shi a little surprised.

Usually in Yingxiao and Yiyi, take the lamp and give it away: "The concubine has no good wine, only this Hangzhou Pear Blossom Spring." A glass of toast to the nobles at the beginning of the ring. ”

In the Qing Dynasty, the amount of wine was too shallow, and after taking this wine, a smell of wine overflowed and filled the courtyard. When he saw Qing, he hesitated a little, and he said fixedly: "Don't worry, this wine is not intoxicating." ”

Qing Shi was a little relieved, he was drunk in front of Xuan Ye that day, and Qing Shi felt ashamed when he thought about it. Since then, Qing Shi didn't dare to drink more, barely drank it all at once, looked up at Dingchang, and had already drunk a few cups.

Ding Chang knew that she was puzzled, and said with a smile: "Zuo is just a glass of wine, so why bother to restrain your hands and feet like others and make a full posture." There are many turns in this world, and there is no escape from the left and right, and every word and deed is based on what the heart wants. ”

Qing Shi was slightly stunned, and he came back to his senses, glanced at her and said: "Today, I have to get together with Dingchang, which makes Qing Shi understand some truth." ”

Dingchang raised his eyes slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "It's easy to be confused, but it's hard to be sober." The whole world is turbid, only he is clear, everyone is drunk, and I am the only one who is awake. Things in the world are determined by themselves, so why fight endlessly, in the end it's just a joke. ”

Qing Shi shook his head when he heard this: "If everyone in the world can understand it as usual, there will be no such troubles." ”

He always hooked a light smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said nothing.
