Chapter 11 The Handmaid Collects Essays

The next day, Xian Ge woke up early and found that there was indeed a maid beside the bed, very delicate, wearing a light green dress with a few small flowers embroidered on it, which was very exquisite.

"Girl, you're awake." The maid woke up when she saw the string song, hurriedly greeted her, and continued: "My name is Caiwen, and I will serve the girl in the future." ”

"No need to be polite." Xian Ge tidied up his clothes, sat down at the dresser, and asked, "How old are you?"

Caiwen picked up the wooden comb and combed Xingge's hair, "Back to the girl, the slave is seventeen years old." ”

"You and I are the same size, so let's be free of false courtesy, I'm a guest, not a master."

Although Gu Chi sent him to serve him, if he was too restrained and respectful, he was not used to it.

"Yes." Caiwen tied up the hair bun for Xian Ge, and helped to groom and dress up, and finally cleaned up.

The little eunuch in the imperial dining room happened to come over with a meal, and when he saw the string song coming out, he bowed his hand and said, "Girl, if there is something that doesn't fit, even the emperor praises the craftsmanship of our imperial dining room." ”

"Thank you." Xian Ge smiled politely. But he was vigilant in his heart: The emperor said good things, who can say bad things? It's a trap everywhere.

After the father-in-law left, Xian Ge began to eat, because he had no appetite, he could only eat a few bites symbolically, so he asked Caiwen to withdraw, and then wandered around the courtyard, and Caiwen followed after he cleaned up.

I came in a hurry last night, and I didn't see the scenery in this courtyard clearly, but now I can take a good look.

There are many trees planted in the courtyard, lush, with shelves in front of the courtyard, vines climbing up, forming a natural barrier, like a partition, next to various flowers and plants, and a swing between two thick fruit trees, which is very interesting to watch.

Looking up, the plaque of the three words "Falling Dust Pavilion" fell in front of me.

"Dust Pavilion? Why did you choose this name? ”

The string song is very strange, falling dust, falling dust, isn't it just falling dust? How could a good yard have such a name.

Xian Ge was not well yet, so Caiwen helped her to the swing and replied: "This is the emperor's question, saying that it is to remind me to listen to the advice when I am in power, so I took such a name." ”

"So, this courtyard has always been lived in by the emperor?" Xian Ge 'groaned' in his heart.

Caiwen shook his head, "No, the emperor just ordered people to clean it often, and he hasn't lived here." He pointed in a distant direction, "That's the emperor's bedroom." ”

Xian Ge breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the current scene, the more low-key the better, if you live in the place where the emperor lives, maybe there will be some kind of chaos, think about it, Xian Ge still can't understand Gu Chi's approach, name a courtyard alone, and don't live and often clean it, maybe, when the emperor has a special habit, this is the definition of Xian Ge.

"Then tell me what are the taboos in this palace." Xian Ge dragged his cheeks and looked at Caiwen.

The palace is a place of right and wrong, if you don't know the forces of all parties, it is difficult to survive, and you are a woman, and you appear in the palace inexplicably, I'm afraid that someone has already moved her mind, and Xian Ge only prays, and the battle in this palace is better not to affect yourself, otherwise there is really nowhere to go, and you are embattled.

Caiwen thought for a while and said: "Actually, the emperor is here, and the girl doesn't need to care about anything else, but this Du Guifei and Huang Shufei must not be offended." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. Xian Ge leaned on the swing rope, and Ren Caiwen shook the swing.

"Du Guifei is the younger sister of Du Guangde, who protects the country, and now has two princes, three princes and four princesses, while Huang Shufei is the cousin of the former queen and has a great prince.

Xian Ge nodded, and asked suspiciously, "First Empress?"

Caiwen said with some regret: "The first queen is the daughter of the prime minister, in the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne, due to dystocia, the emperor is very injured, and has not yet established a new queen. ”

Injuries are part of it, the most important thing is to balance the forces, this rear position is a bargaining chip, Xian Ge felt for the first time that the emperor was also very pitiful, even marriage was a transaction, but no matter how pitiful he was, he was also the emperor, the emperor who dominated the fate of others, speaking of which, it was a bit ironic.

"Since Concubine Huang Shu is the cousin of the former queen and has a great prince, why is she still under the concubine." Xian Ge really doesn't want to inquire about other people's parents, but there is no way, there are some things that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"The emperor ascended the throne, and the protection of the country was indispensable, the emperor rewarded his sister for meritorious deeds, plus the concubine was beautiful and talented, the emperor allowed her a high position, and she was favored, so the concubine naturally fell behind."

"What about the other concubines?"

"There are not many concubines in the palace, except for the second concubine of Guishu, most of them are low-level concubines."

Xian Ge wrapped around the streamers on his clothes, analyzing what Caiwen said just now, the two concubines were evenly matched, no one competed, and the concubines at the bottom were too low, and there were always those who wanted to climb to a high position, so it seems that this palace still hides a blade, and I am afraid that I will have to be more careful in the future.

As he spoke, Gu Chi came over, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, as if he had just descended from the court.

Caiwen knelt down and saluted, "Emperor Jin'an." ”

Xian Ge also learned to kneel down and say goodbye to the text.

Gu Chi picked up the string song, turned to Caiwen and said, "Go and fry the girl's medicine." ”

"Yes." Caiwen respectfully stepped back and went to the backyard to boil medicine.

"Typhoid fever enters the body, it is not suitable to blow the wind, why did it come out." Gu Chi helped Xian Ge into the room.

"Look at the scenery." Xian Ge sat down and poured Gu Chi a cup of tea.

Gu Chi sat opposite Xiange, took a sip of tea, and said, "What about the scenery?"

"Okay." If we talk about the scenery, where can I compare to the scene in front of the house in the mountains, thinking of this, I asked, "Is there an eyebrow about the killer?"

Gu Chi put down the teacup and paused, "I asked Qian Xing to investigate, these killers are dead soldiers, as for why they are targeting you, they are still being investigated, and there is new progress, I will tell you again." ”

"Dead?"

actually used the dead man, it seems that this person hates himself and Yu Yan to the core, Xian Ge thought about it for a long time, but she had no clue, she really couldn't figure it out, who was so vicious and wanted their lives.

"Well, when Qian Xing inspected the scene, he found that these killers had already shown signs of taking poison, and they looked like people from the Jin Dynasty." Gu Chi glanced at the string song, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Jin Dynasty? How could it be related to the Jin Dynasty, Xingge's head ached faintly, as if he had entered a maze and couldn't find an exit for a long time.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to infiltrate the Jin Dynasty, and I believe the truth will be found out soon." Gu Chi explained.

"I'm tired." There was a look of exhaustion in Xiange's eyes.

Xian Ge hates this feeling of having no clue, and she doesn't want to rely too much on Gu Chi, but the current situation is not optimistic, if it is something that the emperor of a country can't trace, how can she be a commoner?

After discussing a few words with Gu Chi, Caiwen came in with the medicine, and watched Xian Ge finish drinking the medicine before Gu Chi left.
