Chapter 50: The Root of the Curse
Su Qinghui opened his eyes when he woke up, and saw a dark shadow sitting in the room, and sat up with a scream.
Seeing that it was Jing Yu, Su Qinghui stroked his chest and calmed down, this person somehow, he came to her house at night as if he was sleepwalking, and after she was scared and didn't feel sleepy, she went back to sleep with satisfaction.
"It's so late, the emperor doesn't rest, what are you doing here?"
"You're my concubine, what's wrong with me here."
Su Qinghui rolled her eyes, she must have been stabbed by someone at the banquet, and she came here to find fault.
"You slept soundly."
Su Qinghui stabilized his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "This midnight third watch, no matter how unstable the concubine is, she should fall asleep." ”
Jing Yu glanced at her, got up and ripped off her clothes and threw them in Su Qinghui's arms: "Get dressed." ”
A moment later, Su Qinghui stood on a high ground wrapped in a cloak, glancing at the person beside him, a single coat was blown and swollen by the wind.
"Is it pretty?"
Su Qinghui glanced at the swarthy earth, and said in a trembling voice: "It's too dark to see." ”
"Look Up"
Su Qinghui raised his head when he heard this, in winter, although the earth was bleak, the sky was lively, and the stars were spread layer after layer.
So I came out in the middle of the night to blow the wind, just to enjoy the stars. Su Qinghui was helpless in his heart, and before he opened his mouth, he heard the person next to him sigh, and his tone was very resentful: "That's it, I have nothing to say to you, you can go." ”
Su Qinghui swore that if she had a knife in her hand now, she would definitely have fallen to the ground by now.
Later, he tossed for half the night, causing Su Qinghui to wake up the next day, not only drowsy, but also seemed to be infected with some wind chill, and he was dizzy when talking and doing.
There seemed to be thousands of bees buzzing in his ears, and Su Qinghui touched Cai Wei weakly.
"What are you doing out there, so noisy."
"Master, rest and wait for the slave and maid to take a look."
After a while, Cai Wei came back and said, "Back to the master, it seems that the second miss of the Zhao family and the young lady of the Zhou family quarreled. ”
Su Qinghui opened his eyes: "It's really not stopping, if I'm not mistaken, these two people had a few words yesterday." ”
"Yes, the slave sounds like it was because of the jade pendant yesterday."
"Boring to the core"
Su Qinghui didn't want to pay attention to it, but the voice outside was getting louder and louder, and she finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart.
"Yo he, these two little girls are really used to being delicate in their own house, where should they be their own backyard?"
Cai Wei grabbed Su Qinghui, who was about to rush out, and said, "Niangniang, don't go out, I was shocked for a day when I took you out yesterday, so don't pay attention to these miscellaneous things today, and leave it to the slave to deal with." ”
Su Qinghui glanced at Cai Wei: "You must have said them just now, who listened?" These little girls are good at watching people put down dishes, I won't go out today, they have to set off this scene. ”
Su Qinghui patted Cai Wei's hand as he spoke, and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not an artillery fight, I still know where to go, besides, aren't you following me?" ”
In the morning, Su Qinghui walked out of the house, and the quarrel became more and more intense, and her brain hurt. Su Qinghui rubbed her brows, if she didn't stop today, according to the posture of these two people, they could quarrel from day to night, and even take out the three generations of their ancestors to compare.
Su Qinghui stood on the steps and waved helplessly: "Don't make any noise."
As soon as the words fell, they were drowned in people's heads, and no one paid attention to them at all.
Su Qinghui grinded his teeth, turned his head and saw a wooden stick, bent down to pick it up, and knocked it hard on the pillar: "Shut up"
All of a sudden, it was as if the pause button had been pressed.
Cai Wei looked at Su Qinghui, who was standing on the stage with a stick on his waist, and her eyebrows jumped. It's started, it's started again.
"I've seen Concubine Jing."
Su Qinghui handed the stick to Cai Wei, walked up to Zhao Erren, and said, "You two, what are you fighting for?" ”
I saw a woman with eyebrows like green feathers, muscles like snow, and a pink soft-haired cloak bowing down to ask for a salute, and her expression was full of grievances between her words, which made people feel love and pity when they heard it.
"The courtier Zhou Jie'er has seen Niangniang, back to Niangniang, Jie'er accidentally touched the jade pendant of the Zhao family's sister yesterday, Jie'er really knew that she was wrong, and apologized to Sister Zhao afterwards, but the Zhao family's sister still didn't give up today, and also, and insulted the courtier."
Zhao Mulan widened her eyes and said, "She is talking nonsense, not at all, she sneered yesterday, and today she deliberately stumbled the courtiers." ”
Zhou Jie'er cried: "Jie'er didn't, it was the sister of the Zhao family who broke the courtier's jade pendant, and the courtier's daughter just said a few words in distress, and there was no offense." ”
"That's you, you don't know."
Su Qinghui suddenly became two heads, and finally knew where Jing Yu's uncertain mind came from, these two were enough for her to have a headache, not to mention Jing Yu's 'parrot' in the harem.
Seeing that the two of them were gradually rising, Su Qinghui gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Shut up, one or two are so fond of pointing fingers and can speak well, why don't you go to block the dam, put this aside and yell at me." ”
Su Qinghui said and glanced at Zhao Mulan, who was secretly hiding his hands, and said, "What to hide, take it out!" ”
Zhao Mulan glared at Zhou Jie'er fiercely, and reluctantly took out the jade pendant and handed it to Su Qinghui.
Su Qinghui checked the jade pendant in his hand, turned to Zhou Jie'er and said casually: "Your jade pendant is indeed exquisite, it's a pity to break it." ”
Zhou Jie'er's eyes flashed with pride, and she said softly: "Hui Niangniang, this jade pendant is the best mutton fat white jade, the light can be seen, the texture is hard and dense, there is no stain, warm and moist, this piece is a famous craftsman to create with painstaking efforts, the pattern on it is cleverly designed, the jade color is pure and flawless, crystal moist." If the mother likes it, Jie'er immediately asks someone to make another piece and give it to the mother. ”
"Really? I have a heart. ”
Su Qinghui turned to Zhao Mulan as he spoke, neither salty nor light, and said, "What about you?"
Zhao Mulan was stunned, gritted her teeth and was not to be left behind, and said: "If the mother can see it, the courtiers will choose to be ten million times better than this tomorrow and serve it by herself." ”
As if thinking of something, Su Qinghui pulled up a sarcastic smile, turned around and walked back to the steps, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, great, I didn't know that the two young ladies were so generous, even I, a person in the palace, were ashamed of myself." ”
Zhou Jie'er's face changed, and before she could make amends, she saw that the jade pendant was smashed to the ground. Split in an instant.
She looked up, and the man on the steps was solemn and angry.
"Last year, refugees poured into Beijing, the people were displaced, you were indifferent, this year the river flooded, there were countless casualties and I didn't see you out of a few points, today one by one is a good luck, Mingyu jewelry said to take it, it seems that I want to ask Zhao Zhou and the two adults for a good advice, where did this luck come?"
As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Mulan's coarse nerves were so frightened that she lost her face, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Niangniang forgives her sins, and the courtiers know that they are wrong." ”
"Knowing your mistakes, how dare you make mistakes, aren't they still sharp and sharp, do you want to explain them to me? Now give you a chance, say! ”
Seeing the direction of this battle, the maids at both ends finally panicked, bowed down and begged: "Concubine Jing Niangniang, it's the fault of the slaves and maids, I hope that there are a lot of Niangniang, spare the young ladies." ”
Su Qinghui turned around expressionlessly, unwilling to take another look, his tone was cold, and every word was on the ground; "Since you know your mistakes, then you should introspect here, and whoever dares to say a word again will be punished with the same crime."
The courtyard finally returned to the long-lost calm, Cai Wei came back from the outside, saw Su Qinghui standing outside the window, sighed and put a dress on her.
"Why should Niangniang be angry, those official eunuchs have always been like this, even if Niangniang takes the trouble to say it, how many people can listen to it?"
Su Qinghui lowered his head and said nothing, and only rubbed his eyes for a long time, and smiled with relief: "It's me who is hypocritical, I seem to be a lot more sentimental recently, and I think of many old people." ”
Cai Wei looked at Su Qinghui's reddish eyes, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
As soon as the turmoil came down here, someone came over there to spread the word that Su Qinghui went to eat in the Wangchen Palace.
Cai Wei said worriedly: "Someone must have spread the rumor to go out, the master should be careful to reply, let it go, so as not to make the emperor angry." ”
Su Qinghui handed Cai Wei a warm hand, and smiled comfortingly: "Don't worry, I know, you wear thicker, it's cold outside." ”
A moment later, Su Qinghui walked into the Wangchen Palace, Jing Yu sat on the soft sleeper, and when he saw her coming, he just glanced at her obliquely.
"The concubine has seen the emperor."
"You go down first."
The door closed, only the two of them were left in the room, Jing Yu slowly approached and sat at the table, and nodded the corner of the table: "Sit"
A table of feasts is more sumptuous than Su Qinghui's half-moon in the palace combined, she snorted lightly, and it was really crooked on the upper beam and crooked on the bottom.
"Why don't you eat it?"
"No appetite"
Jing Yu said: "This is specially prepared for you, come, this fish has no spines, taste it." ”
Su Qinghui smiled and picked up a vegetable package of meat: "Then the emperor tastes this, this looks like a vegetarian, but in fact, it is not a hole." ”
After a moment of silence, Jing Yu put down his chopsticks: "What do you want to do?" ”
"The emperor shouldn't ask the concubines, he should ask the two adults of Zhao Zhou."
Jing Yu said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and you shouldn't, I don't need to remind you of this." ”
"The officialdom is gray and white, and nothing can be determined, but if someone breaks this law and ignores it for the king, sooner or later traitors will arise, and good ministers will have no place to stand. There is no need for concubines to remind the emperor at all. ”
"You know what, dare to make a big deal out of me."
"It seems that the emperor not only has no way to govern the country, but also has a bad memory, and I still need to tell the ugly things of those people back then, do you want to lose face?"
Jing Yu sneered: "Who is black and which is white, what qualifications do you have to judge." ”
Su Qinghui sneered: "So far, do you really think that we are the judges?" Everyone in the world has eyes, and the gains and losses are all in their hearts. It's not that you don't do it, it's just that the time has not come. ”
The meal hit the ground.
Jing Yu roared angrily: "Do you really think that I can't help you? ”
"Heh, it seems that the emperor is really used to listening to words, and he can't even listen to half a word of advice."
"Get Out"
Su Qinghui pushed open the door, and a few figures were scattered in the courtyard at some point. She straightened her skirt as if nothing had happened, and stepped down the steps.
"Four Highnesses, Six Highnesses"
Su Qinghui smiled as he spoke, looked at the person behind Jing Rong, and said slowly: "Lord Zhao, long time no see." ”
Zhao Cun was stunned, and for a while he couldn't remember when he had seen the person in front of him.
Su Qinghui chuckled suddenly, and Jing Rong frowned invisibly on the side.
"Then Lord Zhao, we, we will have a period later."
In the blue sky and white day, Zhao Cun listened to the gentle and slow tone, and suddenly sweated lightly.
Cai Wei helped Su Qinghui out of the Wangchen Palace, and only then did she dare to say out: "Niangniang, the slave didn't tell you, why did you still insist on going your own way and make the emperor angry." ”
"I'm just afraid that he will go all the way to the dark and hurt others and himself."
Cai Wei was stunned.
Dark clouds rolled in the distance, and the sky was gray.
