Chapter XXXVII
But since my aunt has opened her mouth, I, as a niece, can't refute it, even if we don't care about the blood relationship between the two of us, my aunt's position in this harem is several levels higher than mine.
"Why bother my aunt to come over this time, and please ask my aunt to tell Qiushui and Bailu to come to serve, I'll be fine for a while, I'll wait a while." Seeing that Qiushui and Bailu came to talk back, my heart was a little uneasy, could it be that my aunt was angry with me and detained Qiushui and Bailu?
However, the answer of the aunt in charge made me feel a lot more at ease: "Little Master Lin wait a minute, the slave will call the two girls." ”
After speaking, the inner room was quiet again, I didn't wait for Qiushui and Bailu to come back, I got up and got out of bed and changed into the palace clothes I wore during the day, and when Qiushui and Bailu came over, I had already changed my clothes: "Let's go, let's go to meet Concubine Shu." ”
Qiushui grabbed me: "Little master, the slave and maid looked at Concubine Shu's ugly face, I'm afraid that I deliberately came to make things difficult for you, you have to be careful in everything!" ”
How can I not understand the meaning of Qiushui, but the principle of crushing people at the level of officials and universities is still applicable in this harem, and it is not surprising for me that my aunt will make things difficult, as long as there will be no death, presumably the emperor will turn a blind eye.
However, thinking about it, I still nodded towards Qiushui, gave her a reassuring expression, and then walked in front of Qiushui and Bailu and walked out of the inner room.
In the side hall of Xiwu Palace, my aunt was sitting upright, and her ten fingers dyed red danko were rhythmically tapping the tea cup, and when she saw me coming in, her eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Little Lord Lin has such a big shelf, he actually let this palace wait for you here!" I knew that my aunt was deliberately making things difficult, although she was uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't say anything on her face after all, but just respectfully admitted her mistake and asked for her guilt: "The concubine is not in good health, she has already laid down, in order not to snub Concubine Shuniang, the concubine is a little late, and I hope that Concubine Shu Niangniang will not blame!" ”
Concubine Shu snorted coldly, she didn't seem to believe my words at all, and I didn't bother to bother with her, I don't know when this good aunt of mine will be able to see clearly that I don't have any thoughts about her Achen.
"Master Lin is a good means." After my aunt finished speaking, she took a sip of the tea in the teacup, and it seemed that the tea was very unpalatable to her taste, so I hurriedly shouted: "Qiushui, go and change a red date longan tea for Concubine Shu!" ”
Qiushui received the order, and the aunt in charge beside her aunt looked at Bailu: "Miss Bailu, you asked me to go and see where the veil was lost." ”
Where is the handkerchief lost, my aunt should be the most aware in her heart, and the reason why she deliberately asked Bailu to take her aunt in charge to see it was just to lure away the people around me, so I immediately looked at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, if there is anything, you might as well say it directly, concubine listen." ”
As soon as my words fell, Concubine Shu put down the tea cup in her hand, lowered her head and fiddled with her hands, and asked me seemingly casually: "Do you know why the emperor is here today?" ”
Of course, I don't know why the emperor came, and if I knew that I wouldn't let the emperor appear on the realm of Xiwu Palace: "I want to hear about it." I said frankly, and my aunt looked at me with a little inquiry, as if she wanted to see something greasy in my face.
After a long time, seeing that the expression on my face did not change at all, my aunt seemed to believe my words: "This palace doesn't care what Lin Xiaozhu's idea is, but Lin Xiaozhu doesn't blame this palace for not persuading you, the person surnamed Wen next to you is not a good person." ”
As soon as the aunt's words fell, Bailu and the aunt in charge had already found the handkerchief, and the aunt in charge returned to the aunt's side with the handkerchief: "Niangniang, the handkerchief has been found." ”
My aunt didn't even look at the handkerchief, and turned her hand and put the handkerchief still in front of me: "I don't want this handkerchief in this palace, if you like it, you can keep it, if you don't like it, you can dispose of it." After saying that, my aunt left with my aunt who was in charge of the house.
I sent it off: "Congratulations to Concubine Shu." After my aunt left, Qiushui picked up the handkerchief that my aunt was still on the ground and said what I should do with it: "Little master, look at this handkerchief......
I looked at the handkerchief in Qiushui's hand, it had been stepped on by my aunt a few times, and the snow-white handkerchief was also stained with dust: "Wash it and keep it, maybe it will be useful." "When my good aunt left, she said that the veil is at my disposal, and if you keep it, maybe it can become my life-saving card.
Qiushui put the handkerchief close to his body, went down to wash the handkerchief, Bailu stayed by my side, I got up and walked back to the inner room lazily, just about to change out of the palace clothes to continue to recuperate, Qiushui came back.
"Little master, the slave has something to say to the little master." While talking, Qiushui looked at Bailu, the two of them had the same mind, Bailu immediately ran to the door of the inner room to guard, and Bailu guarded the door, believing that no one would come over to eavesdrop.
"You can rest assured that there is a white deer guarding you, what do you want to tell me?" Qiushui saw me ask her, and actually knelt in front of me: "Little master, even if the little master refuses to believe it, the slave and maid have to say ......" Before Qiushui's words were finished, I got up and helped her up: "If you have anything to say, you have said that you should not kneel at every turn, how can you just say that you don't listen!" ”
Qiushui looked embarrassed: "The little master guessed what the slave was going to say?" I nodded, she was already halfway through her words, and if I couldn't hear it, I wouldn't have to think that I could mess up the water in the harem.
"Little master, this embroidered mandarin duck has to be guarded against!" I nodded with the same expression, I didn't know that Wen Xiuyuan was full of suspicions, but every time I saw Wen Xiuyuan, I would think of myself that no one cared about, and I couldn't bear to expose her.
Now I am not like Wen Xiuyuan, but I am more confident than her, and I don't need to be favored by the emperor to be able to become the young lady of the Lin family.
Even if Lin Huaixing is back now, the Lin family can only regard Lin Huaixing as the little-known Lin Bofeng.
"I know you're ......" Before I could finish speaking, Bailu hurriedly came in and interrupted me: "Miss, the maid next to Master Wen came to ask for help!" ”
Hearing Bailu's words, I panicked instantly, Qiushui made a color towards Bailu, and asked Bailu to invite the little maid next to Wen Xiuyuan in: "Bailu, what are you still doing in a daze, go and invite the one next to Xiao Master Wen in!" ”
Bailu also understood that I was always worried about Wen Xiuyuan, so I immediately ran out and pulled in a crying little girl, the little girl looked at me and cried: "Lin Changzai, please go and see my little master, she ......" Where am I still in the mood to listen to her words, and hurriedly pulled Qiushui out: "Qiushui, you let Bailu go and inform the little master Liu, let's go over and have a look first, by the way, there is also that little girl, take it with you!" ”
Qiushui saw that I was anxious and flaming, and I was afraid that he would not be able to stop me, so he immediately followed my instructions, turned around and took out a silver fox fur in the cabinet and draped it on my body, and helped me to walk towards the Shanyue Pavilion: "Even if the little master is anxious, he must be careful of his body, the cold wind is blowing outside today, and it will be bad if the wind and cold are serious." ”
I don't know if Wen Xiuyuan's little girl cried even more because she heard that I was infected with the wind cold, I almost trotted along the way, for fear that a minute late would make Wen Xiuyuan more dangerous for a minute, but when I came to Shanyue Pavilion, I found that there was nothing unusual in Wen Xiuyuan's yard, and even everyone in the inner room was serving, only Wen Xiuyuan was lying on the bed alone.
I hurriedly walked to the window, Wen Xiuyuan's cheeks were red and swollen, and the tears remained in the red and swollen places, as if she had touched chili water on the wound, so she couldn't help but wail.
Seeing me coming, Wen Xiuyuan excitedly wanted to struggle to get up, but was stopped by me: "Lie down quickly, don't get up, tell my sister, what's going on on your face?" I don't know if the swelling on my face is too serious, but now Wen Xiuyuan moved her mouth, but she never made a sound.
The little girl next to Wen Xiuyuan, who led us, cried even more fiercely when she saw her appearance, I was so anxious that I didn't look like it, or Qiushui calmly scolded the little girl: "Why are you crying, your little master is still lying here!" You're crying and mourning! Someone will keep her for me and let her sober up. ”
As soon as Qiushui's words fell, Bailu walked in, and when he heard Qiushui say that he wanted to make the little girl sober up, he immediately came over: "Qiushui, are you talking about this little girl?" Qiushui didn't answer Bailu's question directly, but looked at the little girl: "I'll give you another chance, if you don't say it, I can only let you taste a little bitterness!" ”
After that, the joints of Bailu's fingers gurgled, and the little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry immediately: "I said, Lin Chang is here, my little master met Concubine Shu Niangniang in the Imperial Garden, just because my little master didn't see Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu Niangniang severely punished my little master!" ”
I was stunned when I heard the little girl's words, it turned out that Concubine Shu did it!
At the beginning, in the side hall of Xiwu Palace, my aunt once warned me that Wen Xiuyuan was not a good person, and Qiushui also said so, but I didn't believe it, if Wen Xiuyuan didn't take the initiative to provoke my aunt, why did my aunt bother to be like such a person who can't get on the stage?
At this time, I am not worried about Wen Xiuyuan's injury, I am even more worried about what Wen Xiuyuan has done, which actually made my aunt angry and made a move on Wen Xiuyuan in a place like the Imperial Garden.
Just when I was thinking hard and still couldn't think of the result, Bailu also brought Liu Jianxue over, and after Liu Jianxue came in, he first walked to my side and asked me with concern: "Huaixing, how are you?" You okay? ”
I looked at Liu Jianxue with a blank face, I didn't have anything to do, when I asked Bailu to invite Liu Jianxue, she should also know that the person who had the accident was Wen Xiuyuan, and then I looked at Bailu in confusion, but I saw Qiushui pulling Bailu to the side to reprimand, I should know it, it turned out that Bailu heard the wrong thing, it should be me who told Liu Jianxue that something happened.
Seeing this, I took Liu Jianxue's hand and walked to Wen Xiuyuan's bed, Liu Jianxue also saw Wen Xiuyuan's face was swollen at a glance and couldn't see her true face, and there was a lot less concern on her face, replaced by a kind of exploration.
"Why did Sister Wen get hurt like this? Who did it exactly? I whispered in Liu Jianxue's ear, "This matter was done by Concubine Shu." ”
Hearing my words, Liu Jianxue was just like me at that time, and immediately looked at me with wide eyes, but the girl next to Wen Xiuyuan ran over at this time and knelt down in front of me with a pop: "Lin Chang is here, Liu Guiren begs you to save my little master, my little master's face can't be ruined!" ”
Yes, ordinary women can't ruin their appearance, let alone in the harem of this generation of newcomers replacing old people, if they lose that delicate face, Wen Xiuyuan is afraid that she can only die headlong.
Her Shanyue Pavilion is different from my Xiwu Palace, even if I and Concubine Shu have torn our faces, but nominally we are still aunts and nephews, whether it is the emperor or the queen, they will take care of me in the face of Concubine Shu, and Wen Xiuyuan is different, she is really helpless.
