Chapter 33: A Chance Encounter in the Imperial Garden
Liu Jianxue looked at me with a surprised face, and immediately understood, it seems that Wen Xiuyuan didn't mention this matter to me.
"I guessed that she didn't tell you, fortunately, the emperor went to me yesterday, if he went to someone else's place, you would feel better." Liu Jianxue looked at me worriedly, she has always known me best, so she can come and tell me these things today.
"What did the emperor say?" I'm more worried about whether the emperor said something, if the emperor really wants me to sleep, he has to think of other ways to fool the past.
"The emperor knew that I was friendly with you, so he asked about your situation, and I said that you had suffered from the cold that day and your body had not yet recovered." Sure enough, Liu Jianxue was the smartest one, and she understood that the last thing the emperor wanted to hear was the events of that day.
Although it was two heroines competing for the emperor's favor that day, but my aunt did really save the emperor's face, if the emperor didn't have a knot in his heart, then I would never believe it.
Liu Jianxue looked at me for a long time and didn't speak, and looked at me with a concerned face: "Huaixing, you don't have to mind, I believe that in the near future, the emperor will not come." ”
Liu Jianxue is right, but I still can't take it lightly: "I don't have to worry about my sister about this matter, I have my own measure." ”
Liu Jianxue stared at my face carefully for a while: "Huaixing, it's not a way for you to always be like this, you can't be unfavored for the rest of your life, I'm afraid you won't be able to live at all in this palace!" ”
Of course, I know that Liu Jianxue said this because she cared about me, but if I was to be like those resentful women in the deep palace, thinking about how to compete for favor every day, I would feel that it would be better to lose my own life.
"Sister, you know me best, you should know my thoughts best, and it's not suitable for me to be favored or something." I didn't want to continue this topic, so I hurriedly diverted Liu Jianxue's attention: "My sister also saw it, my sister hasn't tasted meat for several days, and my sister didn't say to bring me something delicious when she came, isn't it that my sister doesn't hurt me anymore!" ”
Liu Jianxue was angry by my words, and her face hated iron and steel: "Look at you girl, you just said that you want to be a vegetarian and cultivate yourself, how much work has been done for a while, and you actually complained about me, I don't know, I think I'm a sister who treats you harshly!" ”
Although Liu Jianxue said this, she still waved her hand and called Hua Zao, I saw that Hua Zao was not only holding Liu Jianxue's cloak in her hand, but also holding a delicate food box, Hua Zao put the food box on the table, and I immediately smelled the smell of meat.
"My sister brought good food and didn't take it out, now I'm full, but how can I eat it?" I said this, but the movements of my hands were very quick, and I opened the food box with my own hands, and there were all kinds of meat dishes inside, as well as some delicate dried meat.
I stretched out my hand and pinched a piece of dried meat and stuffed it into my mouth, sure enough, it was a nobleman who was loved by the emperor, and the things I brought were all high-quality goods, just talking about the dried meat, as thin as cicada wings, not to mention, the sweet dried meat had a slightly spicy taste, which made people can't help but want to eat it.
Liu Jianxue couldn't help but laugh when she saw me gobbling up: "Look at you, how old you are, you eat like a child." ”
She called Hua Zao, and asked Hua Zao to bring a cup of tea and put it in my hand, in case I was thirsty but couldn't find water.
I stuffed my mouth full of dried meat, and said vaguely: "The things my sister brought are delicious, and if my sister comes back next time, remember to bring more!" ”
"Okay, I'll prepare more next time, otherwise we're going to be hungry." After that, all the maids including Qiushui laughed, but my attention was no longer on their bodies, and the slender jade hand pinched a piece of dried meat and gave it to Bailu, who tasted it and immediately opened his eyes wide, looking directly at the dried meat in my hand.
I took the food box containing the dried meat in my arms: "If you want to eat, go to Lord Liu, these are all mine!" ”
Qiushui came over and snatched the food box from my hand, not caring about my complaining expression at all: "Good Qiushui, leave me some!" ”
Qiushui refused to follow me, and covered the food box and held it in his hand: "The slave and maid are not allowed to use the little master, but they have already used the meal, if the little master uses more, I am afraid that he will have to accumulate food." ”
Liu Jianxue echoed: "Yes, Qiushui, you have to take a good look at your little master, she doesn't care about anything else, if she is allowed to eat, she is the best." ”
In this palace, women never dare to eat more than one bite in order to maintain their figure, even Liu Jianxue is like this, but whenever they eat too much, they always have to go out to eat.
"You've eaten well, why don't you go for a walk in the Imperial Garden, I heard that the plum blossoms there are also blooming, and they are blooming very well." Liu Jianxue didn't wait for me to refute, so she pulled me out of the side hall of Xiwu Palace, and Hua Zao and Qiushui hurriedly tied cloaks for the two of us.
"Little Lord Liu is also too anxious, he came out without even tying his cloak!" Qiushui said the words of complaining about Liu Jianxue, but his face was full of smiles.
I looked at Liu Jianxue and found that Liu Jianxue didn't care about what Qiushui said at all, but looked at me: "Have you seen it, your maidservants in the Xiwu Palace are all learning badly with your master now, and they are not big or small at every turn." ”
Liu Jianxue and Qiushui's tempers are quite similar, and the two of them don't fight or play jokes: "My sister still talks about me, if it weren't for my sister often liking that sister to laugh, Qiushui wouldn't have become like this, I remember that Qiushui was very well-behaved in the past, right, Qiushui?" With that, I looked at Qiushui, who nodded.
"Ouch, you master and servant are bullying me as an outsider at this time, in this case, I won't come again in the future, okay?"
Hearing Liu Jianxue pretending to be angry, of course I wanted to give her a step down, and then hurriedly walked to her side, grabbed her hand and said: "What did my sister say, if it wasn't for the emperor who assigned me to Xiwu Palace, I really want to live in my sister's Changchun Palace and become a family with my sister!" ”
It seems that my words are very effective, so that Liu Jianxue also forgets what happened just now: "Don't talk about this, Huaixing, look at it, a rare green plum at that time." ”
Green plums seem to be only available in the south, and I have never seen them in this cold capital, and because my aunt likes red plums, this kind of cold plum blossoms has never been cared for.
"Green plums are rare, I don't know, I heard that only in the south have this kind of green plum!" I looked at Liu Jianxue, and I believe that Liu Jianxue will definitely know more about these things. Sure enough, Liu Jianxue nodded, and then told me: "The color of the green plum flowers is cyan, this is not the rarest place, its favorite place is that the green plum fruit can be made into wine, and the wine tasted sweet, and the wine is not strong, which is most suitable for the daughter's family to drink." ”
Sure enough, the place where the Son of Heaven lives is a gathering place for rare things in time, and such rare green plums are probably very expensive in the place where they are produced, and the trunk of this tree is already as thick as two people hugging each other, and it must have been many years.
After listening to Liu Jianxue's explanation, I became more interested in this green plum tree, and by chance I saw a fruit hanging under the green plum tree in the treetops, so I was moved: "Qiushui, go find a bamboo pole." ”
"Little master, what do you want the bamboo pole for?" When Qiushui spoke, I was staring intently at my fruit: "I just told you to go and fetch a bamboo pole, where did you get so many words!" ”
After a while, Qiushui handed the bamboo pole to me, and I held the bamboo pole to pick up the fruit on the tree, but for some reason, no matter how hard I tried, the fruit still did not move.
In the end, Liu Jianxue finally couldn't stand it anymore, she snatched the bamboo pole from my hand: "Look at you, you have no power to tie the chicken, and you still want to learn from those experienced villagers to pick fruits with bamboo poles?" ”
Seeing Liu Jianxue take the bamboo pole, my heart was really happy, if I held the bamboo pole, I might not be able to touch the fruit in my life, but Liu Jianxue is different, she is a kung fu person, if she goes out in person, she will definitely be able to let me see the fruit with my own eyes.
After a while, Liu Jianxue threw down the bamboo pole in his hand and handed a fruit to me, it was already the snow season, and there was still fruit left on the tree, which was really a miracle.
Liu Jianxue saw that I was curious about the fruit, and hurriedly came over to remind me: "You can't eat this fruit, I'm afraid I'll spoil my stomach if I eat it." I nodded, I still understand this simple truth, but I can't help but feel a little happy when I suddenly see something that doesn't belong to this season.
"See snow, why are you here?" A male voice came, and Liu Jianxue and I were stunned in place.
I was really afraid of something, I didn't want to see the emperor, and I didn't want the emperor to pay attention to me, but when I came out to hang out, I ran into him in the imperial garden.
However, the emperor didn't seem to see me, and his attention was all on Liu Jianxue. Looking at the bright yellow corners of the emperor's clothes, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to make myself no longer have to be favored in a short period of time.
"Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines!" I cried and cried, desperately squeezing out a few tears, which were not yet low on my face, making people look so pitiful.
The moment I appeared, Ye Tingchen's brows involuntarily wrinkled together, and when I saw this scene, my heart chuckled, although my original intention was to provoke him and make him completely disgusted with me, but when it really came to this moment, I still couldn't help but be afraid.
"Who are you?" Ye Yanchen saw me very rarely, and even though I had some resemblance to my aunt, I knelt down so quickly that he still didn't recognize me.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is from the Wu Palace." I replied timidly with my head bowed.
Hearing the name of Xiwu Palace, the emperor was obviously silent for a while, but soon he remembered the woman who impressed him: "You are Yue'er's niece, I remember your name is ......"
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, how many women have been crushed for this man, but in the end, maybe the man didn't even remember her name.
"The concubine's name is Huaixing." I still reminded the forgetful emperor, after all, if he recognized the wrong person, it would be my sin.
"Raise your head and let me see." The emperor let go of Liu Jianxue and walked in front of me, reaching out to help me up from the ground.
I looked at this Ninety-Five Emperor with a shy face, and there were still tears on my face, which made the emperor stunned for a moment, Liu Jianxue looked at me nervously beside the emperor, and I quietly gestured to her with my hand to reassure her, and then looked at the handsome face in front of me.
"Just now you said let me be the master for you, what do you mean?" There wasn't much expression on the emperor's face, so much so that I couldn't tell whether he cared about me or not.
However, I don't think my matter is very important, so why should this Ninety-Five Venerable care?
