Chapter 9: Embroidered sachets
I seemed to have come to a spacious house, different from the folk house I dreamed of before, there were two half-man high stone lions in front of this door, there were three doors, the doors were painted with new red paint, and the door in the middle was bigger than a carriage, and the handle was a polished bright unicorn brass ring.
With such a generous face, it should be the mansion of the prince. I looked around and saw a lantern hanging under the eaves with the words "Chungkook Mansion" written on it.
How did I come to the gate of the Chung Kook Mansion? I gently pushed the scarlet door, which was hidden and opened a crack by me. I looked and saw that there was no one in the house, but I smelled a pungent smell of blood. Curious, I pushed the door again, and the heavy door opened on its own. I was taken aback and backed back.
When the door opened, it was bloody. The compound was littered with corpses, men and women, old and young. Corpses were stacked on top of each other, and there was no place for the huge courtyard.
I felt sick in my stomach, but I couldn't throw it up. I tried to run, but my feet did not obey and went into the courtyard, which was full of corpses, but also the cloisters. I couldn't help but cover my eyes, it was terrible, and I didn't know who this Zhongguo Mansion had offended.
I came to a hall where there were far fewer corpses than in the front yard outside. I entered the hall with the door open, and there were only two men lying in it, a man and a woman, who were supposed to be the lords and mothers of the house, judging by their clothes. I just felt my body tremble like chaff, and when I looked closer, sure enough, those two people were also dead
What the hell is going on with this Zhongguo Mansion? Look, it doesn't look like a bandit or something, it looks like a ...... Destroyed.
My head was suddenly dizzy, and my body felt like it had been hit by some heavy object, and it hurt suddenly. When I opened my eyes, I found myself sleeping on the floor. I got up in a panic to go back to bed, and I saw Li Jingheng sleeping sweetly with my brocade quilt.
I had to carefully climb into bed and straddle Li Jingheng, and then slowly pull back my quilt from his arms little by little. After all, I was woken up and wanted to scold others, so don't do to others what you don't want to do to others. I closed my eyes and after a while, I realized that Li Jingheng had hugged me and the quilt together. It's not the hottest time yet, but I'm still being held in the arms of a man like a stove, do you say it's hot or not?
I couldn't sleep, so I rolled over in his arms and stared at his face.
This man is actually not so annoying, although he has many women, he seems to care more about the affairs of the previous dynasty than women. Although there are many people in the harem, in my eyes, each of us is not bad, except for some boredom. I began to convince myself that even if I didn't like this man, I had no choice, I couldn't escape from the palace walls so high. So, it's better to live the days in front of you!
As for boredom, it won't be boring when Lang Ting, Yun Xutang, Yuan Chu Mingyu, and they have children one after another!
Thinking about it, I seemed to fall asleep again, and I didn't have strange dreams anymore, but in a trance I heard my grandmother's voice, and she said to me, "Drink this medicine, and your illness will be cured." ”
I subconsciously went to look for Mama and asked, "Mama, what disease do I have?" ”
But Mama didn't answer my question, just said to herself: "Let the past pass, there are too many things to remember in a lifetime, and you can't hold on to the past that you don't want to remember." ”
Suddenly, I felt empty under my feet, and I woke up violently.
Li Jingheng hasn't woken up yet. I think I'm calling Imperial Doctor Wen to come and take a look at me today, I really can't stand dreaming of strange things anymore, and every time I wake up, my heart is sour for no reason.
When Li Jingheng woke up, I fell asleep again, so that when I woke up, my surroundings were empty again. Yunzhi cleaned my face and changed my clothes and combed my bun, and Buyue sent breakfast, which was mushroom and japonica rice porridge, red dates and horseshoe cake, white fungus pear soup, crisp cheese, and lotus shortbread. Buyue also brought Zhun Xin'er: "Just now I went to get breakfast on the way to meet the queen mother who was going to the imperial garden, and the mother told me that the banquet was set at the small flower hall of Luanqi Pavilion at noon tomorrow, and asked me to come back to deliver the message, and she had to call someone over for a while." ”
I sandwiched a piece of horseshoe cake and stuffed it into Buyue's mouth, and Buyue handed it over twice and praised it vaguely: "It's delicious!" ”
I clipped another piece to give to Yun Zhi, Yun Zhi didn't want it at first, and then blessed me and ate it. I asked her if it was sweet, and she replied that I was sweeter than what she made.
I ate a bowl of fragrant glutinous japonica rice porridge and half a white fungus soup, I have eaten a little more cheese recently, and I will share it with the palace daughters of Funing Palace, lotus crisp is Buyue's favorite, so I allowed her to take it back to the room to eat.
Around noon, Ting Yun came again, holding a large basket of things.
"I got the letter, is there going to be a banquet tomorrow? I've brought some rags and needlework, and you can teach me how to embroider a sachet. She said as she shoved the basket into my arms.
I exasperated, "That's how you begged someone? It's also a little insincere. ”
She sat beside me and begged: "Good Xiaoqi, good Xiaoqi, can I beg you?" ”
I was also going to make some small gifts for Ming'er to send to Xu Tang, but I smiled and joked with her with a homophony: "Who is stingy and who is stingy?" I'm stingy when I look at you, right? I only gave me so much fabric to make sachets, and I have all the pieces here, so why are you all broken? ”
"I haven't made a purse yet, so who knows what kind of cloth I want. Also, you can't wronged me, I'm talking about good, small, seven! Which one says you're stingy? The net will appoint people! ”
Ting Yun turned his head away angrily. I hurriedly coaxed her: "I'm joking with you, I'll teach you." What should we embroider? Is it a happy plum tree or a five-lucky longevity? The unicorn delivery is also good, but it is more difficult, and you are afraid that you will not be able to learn. ”
Hearing this, she responded to me: "What do you like to embroider on the plum tree?" ”
I picked up a purse on the cabinet next to me, which I had been bored with a few days ago, and the embroidery was a plum tree. "It's just a magpie flying up the branches of the plum tree, if you can't even learn this, I really want to ask who taught your female red."
She took my purse and looked at it carefully, and praised: "This embroidery is good, the stitches are fine and even, I want to ask you where did you learn to be so powerful?" ”
I wondered, "Do you still know how to read stitches?" But won't be a female celebrity? ”
She raised her head and said proudly: "Although I haven't done it myself, I have seen a lot of embroidery, and I can still see the contrast between the stitches." ”
After talking for a while, Buyue had already brought my silk and needlework. I took a small cloud from the pen holder on the desk to trace the pattern. "Look, let's draw the pattern first."
She also followed my example, and took a piece of silk and drew magpie and plum branches on it. When I finished painting and looked at her, I almost didn't laugh. She painted a magpie flying up the branches of a plum tree, and the magpie she painted was as fat as the one I painted, and it looked like a clump of feathers. I teased her, "Are you drawing magpies?" How does it look like a feathered piglet? ”
She threw the silk and was about to pounce on me and bite me, so I begged for mercy: "Good sister, good sister, I will embroider this one for you, and I will draw another one." ”
I showed her stitch by stitch on my finished silk, first tracing the edges of the magpie branches and plum blossoms, and then slowly embroidering the color and texture of the feathers and bark petals. She asked me incomprehensibly, "What if I break this good piece of silk?" ”
I spread my hands and said I couldn't help it. I said: "But since I want to embroider it by hand, whether the embroidery is good or not is secondary, and having a serious heart is the most important." It's not difficult to be a female celebrity, I didn't know how to be a female celebrity when I entered the palace, but I was taught by Lang and Ming Yu and the excellent embroiderer next to Ming Yu, and now I will. If you practice diligently, you can embroider well. ”
Ting Yun nodded very encouragedly: "I definitely want to study female celebrity well." When I was a child, I didn't understand, I messed around with my brothers and cousins all day long, I didn't study hard, and now it's never too late to come again! ”
Ting Yun and I sat in front of the window lattice, and it was time for dinner. Ting Yun originally wanted to go back with the remaining unfinished sachet and finish the embroidery slowly, but I was afraid that she would really embroider it without paying attention, and it was in vain that I and her all afternoon's work was wasted, so I forced her to come down to eat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the dish was served, Li Jingheng came again. I don't know why he came at this time, it stands to reason that he should be in Fushou Palace.
"Your Majesty." Ting Yun and I blessed him together. He sat down at the dining table and praised: "This perch soup is fragrant, better than the imperial kitchen." Concubine Xian's small kitchen is really pleasing to me. I was stunned to do something, let's eat together. ”
I secretly scolded him in my heart for being a shameless prank, and the good dishes and meat prepared by Ting Yun and I now have to be divided among three people. Ting Yun happily went over and sat next to Li Jingheng's guy, and I went to sit on the other side of him. "If Your Majesty wants to eat something, I will tell the small kitchen to make it again." I was extremely reluctant to greet him.
Li Jingheng thought for a while and said: "Roasted crucian carp with green onions, sour bamboo shoots and quail." I've eaten it here once before, yes, let's cook it again. ”
I turned my head and told Buyue to go. Ting Yun began to give Li Jingheng step vegetables, I am very glad that Ting Yun is here, because every time Li Jingheng eats with me, they are not allowed to step Yue Yunzhi and they give him step vegetables, I have to go back to help him step vegetables, and I am tired to death. This time I was lucky to meet Ting Yun. While eating, I listened to Ting Yun say, "Your Majesty, you like to drink this sea bass soup, and I will serve it to you." ”
It turns out that I like a person, and I'm not even tired of giving him food.
