Chapter 36: The Lost Veil
Time passed slowly like this, and I was about to think that my aunt would really be able to take the emperor away, but the emperor gave me a big surprise.
The very lazy and leisurely voice came from my head: "I think it's better to bring the food made by Yue'er and put it here in Huaixing, even if your aunt and nephew prepare a lunch for me today?" ”
I suddenly looked up at my aunt, my aunt's face had not changed, but the cruelty that flashed in her eyes was also easily noticed by me, and I thought to myself, I am afraid that I have completely angered my aunt today.
If I could have said with certainty before, although my aunt was angry that I was not angry with her, she would definitely not embarrass me, but today the emperor has put me in a dilemma.
"Achen, those who don't know still think that I, who is an aunt, have to compete with Huaixing for favor, if it is known, Yue'er will have no face to live." My aunt's voice was already sweet, coupled with her deliberate coquettishness, which made me, a woman, unable to help but be moved when she heard it, but the emperor was unmoved.
"Yue'er is too worried, Huaixing is also my woman now, the relationship between the two of you should be good, and it seems that the harem is harmonious." After speaking, the emperor beckoned outside, and the chief eunuch beside the emperor immediately walked over.
"You go, go to Yue'er and bring the food that Yue'er made herself." After the chief eunuch nodded and left, a trace of displeasure appeared on my aunt's face, but the emperor didn't look at her, and turned his head to look at me: "Huaixing doesn't seem to have spoken, but Yue'er is here and you can't let go?" ”
After listening to the emperor's words, I didn't dare to speak, what the emperor's words meant, the three people present all knew it, that is, I was saying that I was restrained because of my aunt's arrival, and I didn't need to look at me to know that my aunt's eye knife had flown towards me, but no one knew that I was the one who was the most bitter in my heart.
Whether it's the emperor or my aunt, I can't wait for them to never appear on the realm of Xiwu Palace.
"My aunt and the emperor Qin Se and Ming, Huaixing looked at the joy in her heart, and she didn't want to bother." I said sincerely, and my slightly bowed head showed my respect for my aunt and the emperor, and the emperor seemed to be quite satisfied with my reaction: "If everyone in the harem can be like Huaixing, I am very relieved." ”
The harem is a miasma, but who is the reason why the harem has become the current scene, or because of what, I believe the emperor knows best, and he must still enjoy it.
"The concubine just did something that should be done, and it is not worthy of the emperor's praise, not to mention that the aunt is well taught, otherwise the concubine will not be so considerate of the emperor." I said humbly, my aunt's gaze finally moved away from my face, and the emperor seemed to think that it was really my aunt who taught well, so he looked at my aunt with a little approval in his eyes.
At this time, the chief eunuch finally took back the food made by his aunt "with his own hands" and put it on the round table.
The aunt's delicate body collapsed in the emperor's arms, and the aunt took a piece of meat from the bright yellow plate and sent it to the emperor's mouth: "Achen, taste the things that Yue'er made for you, is it delicious?" ”
The emperor and I both know very well how much my aunt cares about her appearance, even if she never let her hands be damaged in the slightest on weekdays, and I am afraid that the palace people will do things such as cooking, but the emperor still obediently opened his mouth and took the ivory chopsticks in his aunt's hand.
The aunt was suddenly shy, and the pink fist lightly hammered the emperor's chest a few times, and said delicately: "Achen, Huaixing is still watching here!" ”
The emperor did not look back, grabbed his aunt's waist, let his aunt get closer to him, and whispered a few words in his aunt's ear.
It seems that if I continue to stay here, I can only provoke resentment: "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little unwell, so she will retire immediately." ”
Hearing me say this, the emperor turned his head to look at me, and saw that my face was really bad, and it seemed that the words that wanted to keep me were out of his mouth.
"That's it, if Huaixing is unwell, go down and rest." Saying that, the emperor looked at Qiushui beside me: "You girl also looks stable, take care of your little master, if your little master's condition is getting worse, I will definitely be severely punished." ”
Qiushui knew that I was fine, and even more understood that the emperor was just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "The slave and maid have written it down, and the slave and maid will take the little master down to rest." ”
Because I have been sitting for a long time and have not moved, my legs are already a little numb, but with the support of Qiushui, I slowly walked out of the side hall of Xiwu Palace.
Qiushui saw that I was really a little immobile, and asked me worriedly: "Is the little master tired?" If it is really uncomfortable, the slave and maid call the doctor to come and take a look? I hurriedly stopped her: "I'm fine, I have to do a full set of plays, if my aunt and the emperor see that I am seriously ill, wouldn't what I said before become a crime of bullying the king?" ”
Seeing me say this, Qiushui immediately closed his mouth, the emperor arrived, and the inside and outside of the Xiwu Palace were full of people.
Back in the inner room, under Qiushui's service, I took off my palace clothes and went to bed: "Qiushui, go and bring my wild book." ”
Qiushui was a little helpless: "The little master is unwell and still has to read, why don't you lie down and take a rest?" I shook my head, a little displeased: "You girl is getting more and more unruly, and you don't even listen to your master's words?" ”
Although there was already anger on my face, Qiushui didn't care: "The slave and maid are dedicated to the little master, if the little master wants to be punished, the slave and the maid have no complaints, just ask the little master to take care of his body, don't be angry." ”
I laughed angrily: "Sister Liu often says that I am a little skin monkey, I think you are a little skin monkey in Qiushui, and even your master dares to laugh at me." After saying that, I looked at Qiushui and smiled, and the two of us laughed together, and the atmosphere in the inner room was so lively.
I don't worry about how long the emperor will stay with me, even if the emperor wants to stay, my aunt is afraid that she will try all kinds of ways to get the emperor to leave, so I just need to quietly guard my inner room.
Qiushui saw that I was thoughtful, and walked to my side: "Don't worry, the little lord has already asked Bailu to go over and guard, as long as the emperor and Concubine Shu leave, the little lord can eat with peace of mind." ”
I glanced at Qiushui, thinking that this girl was trained by the second brother, and she actually did things so thoughtfully before I was instructed, it seems that I can save a lot of trouble in the future.
After a while, Bailu hurriedly walked in: "Little master! Little Lord! Qiushui immediately scolded her: "This is not the Lin Mansion, if you are such a shouting personality all day long, do you have to bring trouble to the little master?" ”
Bailu lowered his head in shame, and regretted his reckless actions very much, but I didn't care, this Xiwu Palace was already deserted, and it was more lively with someone like Bailu: "Okay, don't talk about her in Qiushui, you don't know that Bailu is this character." ”
"However, the little lord ...... Qiushui wanted to say something, but I immediately interrupted her, otherwise Bailu was afraid that she would be ashamed: "Bailu, you came here in a hurry, but what do you have to tell me?" ”
When Bailu heard my words, he looked up at me: "Yes, the little lord and the emperor and Concubine Shu have already left, and the emperor told the slaves and maids not to alarm the little lord before leaving." ”
I laughed in my heart, and sure enough, as I expected, after I left, my aunt didn't let the emperor stay here for a minute longer, and impatiently asked the emperor to take her away, and it was hard for the emperor to remember me in the company of my aunt.
Qiushui listened to Bailu's words and was faintly worried: "Little master, it's not the same thing that you always refuse to accept favor like this!" Bailu nodded and agreed: "Yes, little master, if it's a matter of the side, in this harem, the holy favor is closely related to your life, if you always save the emperor's face like this, the emperor is afraid that he will be blamed." ”
I glanced at Qiushui nonchalantly: "Today's things are all done by my aunt, and it has nothing to do with me, even if the emperor wants to blame, he can't blame me, not to mention that I sit in Xiwu Palace safely, even if someone looks at me unpleasantly, they can still carry a knife to Xiwu Palace to kill me." ”
Qiushui looked at me helplessly, she understood that what I said was for the people outside, although most of the people who washed the Wu Palace had already left, it was difficult to say whether there was still an aunt's eyeliner here, in Qiushui's eyes, Cangyun should be the most suspicious person.
Bailu seemed to have just thought of something at this time, hurriedly walked to my side, stretched out his hand and handed me a piece of brocade, I looked at her puzzled: "What is this?" ”
Bailu was a little anxious: "After the emperor left, the slave and maid found it under the table when they went to the side hall to clean up, and the slave didn't know how to deal with this thing, so they came over to ask the little master." "I just took the brocade handkerchief from Bailu's hand, and a red plum was embroidered on the corner of the handkerchief.
The moment I saw Hongmei, I immediately understood who the owner of the handkerchief was, and turned to Qiushui and Bailu and said: "Where the handkerchief was picked up, put it there, don't make a noise, the owner of the handkerchief will come to find it!" ”
Qiushui grabbed the handkerchief in front of the white deer and took the handkerchief in my hand, she should have seen the red plum in the corner of the handkerchief, and immediately looked at me in surprise.
In the harem, the woman's veil is a personal thing, this kind of thing will definitely not be thrown away at will, if someone still loses the veil, not this person is careless, then it is ulterior motives, the woman who has just come to the side hall is only me and my aunt, my handkerchief is put away in the autumn water, so this handkerchief can only be my aunt's.
The aunt left her handkerchief, and it would definitely not be the aunt's carelessness.
Qiushui was silent for a moment, and then pulled Bailu out, I looked at the back of the two leaving, and felt that I was in a good mood, it seems that my aunt is a little more hostile to me, but this is a good thing for me.
Sure enough, soon Yu Shunliang's voice came into the inner room: "Little master, Concubine Shu said that her handkerchief was lost in Xiwu Palace. ”
I lay lazily on the bed and didn't move, and said loudly to Shunliang: "You let Bailu and Qiushui take the girl next to my aunt to the side hall to look carefully, I won't go out to see my aunt when I'm not feeling well, so as not to give my aunt my illness." ”
Yu Shunliang was probably a little embarrassed, everyone knows what is important when he loses his handkerchief, my aunt came to me and I was afraid that there was something else, I pretended to be angry and roared: "What are you still stunned about, if you make your aunt angry, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you!" ”
As soon as my words fell, I heard the footsteps of Yu Shunliang leaving, but I had a hunch that my aunt would definitely send someone from her side to call me, and things were definitely not that simple.
Sure enough, the aunt in charge next to my aunt came over and said inside and outside: "Little Master Lin, our mother invites you to come over and talk about it." ”
I couldn't help but sneer, where is there anything old between me and my aunt, since my aunt came to tell me in person, I still have no relationship with her aunt and nephew, and now my aunt is afraid that I am a rival in love.
