Chapter 39 Competing for Favor (3)
"What? Remembered me? The man looked at her amusedly, and added with a slight sarcasm.
"Shouldn't it be a joy to reunite with an old love? I heard that Emperor Chen paved a Lin'an flower arrangement in order to pursue you, just to make you smile and allow him a lifelong vow. ”
"The world is ridiculous. It's just two people, why be so persistent, I can't wait to throw out a heart all over the world, in exchange for not necessarily true feelings, what do you say? ”
The man was leisurely sipping tea, looking at her forbearance, she seemed to be a little aggrieved, but when she looked at him, she was very calm, "How people in the world are, each has its own way of living, I came to you, and I didn't listen to you ridicule me." ”
"Temper tantrum? Seeing that your complexion is not good, you still have to rest more, say, what do you want me to do? He lazily looked at the person in front of him, he had lost a lot of weight, but his anger was still unabated.
"You also know that he is an emperor, and he was born with the qi of an emperor to protect his body, and I am a half-ghost body, so I can't be in contact with it for too long, otherwise I will be weakened and die. You should have thought of it a long time ago. ”
"Yo? It's not stupid. I have my own way to protect you, but why should I help you? The man half-leaned on the bed, watching the moonlight outside the window shine through the curtain, and the soft light and shadow hung down scatteredly, illuminating half of her green face, and he realized that she was not so bad-looking. But he ignored it.
The woman sighed, "You asked me to come to this deep palace, and now that the goal has not been achieved, how can you be willing to let me die." ”
"Interesting." He waved his hand, only smelling some bitter and bitter taste, and the woman turned her head away in disgust. The man left, "Do what you have to do." ”
The woman lowered her eyes. The pink forbidden step swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, and she stood in the courtyard for a long time until the maid came to call her.
"Little Lord, you see that the Holy Lord has not been here for a long time, and the master of Ruoyun Palace is clinging to every day, are you really not in a hurry?"
Yiqing lowered her eyes, her hand pulled the corner of her clothes, she didn't know what she was thinking, the maid saw her like this, and felt that she must miss the emperor, but unfortunately the emperor was in Concubine Yun, and she didn't know her master's mind at all.
"Little master, you don't know when the emperor will come over here, you still have to take the initiative." She was a little dazed, and there was still some rejection in her heart. Tossing and turning at night, she figured it out a little more.
After using a few side dishes, she asked Yuzhu to bring a few colors of Shu brocade to Ruoyun Palace with her.
To Ruoyun Palace, see that this place is very different from their own palace, light as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the room carvings are mostly all kinds of cloud patterns, the building is classical atmosphere but not luxurious. There are a few porcelain dolls on the table at random, I heard that this Yun Concubine likes to collect, so I want to come here.
She was looking, and Concubine Yun greeted her, "Why did my sister think about coming over today?" I haven't prepared in advance, if I neglect my sister, my sister must not mind. ”
This Yun Concubine has bright eyes and bright teeth, childishness, looks innocent and natural, and her temperament is also excellent. Yiqing smiled, "Sister is polite, I recently got a few Shu brocades, do you still like it when you see it?" ”
Yuzhu put the cloth on the case, Yiqing explained with a smile, "This Shu brocade is colored with warp threads, color stripes are added to flowers, warp and weft are flowered, first color stripes and then brocade groups, square, bar, geometric skeleton is added, symmetrical patterns, square continuous, bright colors, I recently got a few horses, I think it is suitable for my sister, sister to see if you like?" ”
"My sister is so polite, my sister can't stand it, I heard that this Shu brocade comes from the south of the Yangtze River, especially this cloud silk brocade is even more rare, a craftsman is only two or three horses a year, my sister spends so much effort, how can my sister bear it?"
Concubine Yun pushed, she looked at this material, the tentacles were smooth, the colors were dazzling, and it was also rare, especially the weaving skills, which were a must. It's just that the friendship between the two is still shallow, and now that they have rashly accepted this gift, they always feel uneasy.
"Sister doesn't have to be polite, my sister in this palace doesn't have any confidants, I know that sister, you are transparent, and the two of us sisters support each other, and it's better than being alone."
Her hand was on her hand, sincere and earnest, Concubine Yun pondered in her heart, but still accepted the gift with a smile.
"Then thank you, sister."
"Sister doesn't have to be polite." The two of them chatted for a long time before getting up and going back to the palace.
The maid asked puzzledly, "Why did the girl send this Yunfei Shu brocade, such precious materials, it's a pity." ”
"Pity? I don't think so, if you think about it carefully, can someone wear Shu brocade in this palace? ”
The maid thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "No." ”
"That's it." The woman returned to the palace briskly. The mood is unusually good. And Concubine Yun, when she saw the three Shu brocade materials, she was not used to wearing too bright colors, so she rewarded them to the palace maids below.
The palace maid was also very happy to see that this material was so good-looking. went to make two or three sets of beautiful clothes, but she was a palace maid and couldn't wear such gorgeous clothes. can only sneak out to show off when you go out of the palace.
On this day, she served in the palace, and today she wore a light cyan Shu brocade placket. Thinking about this light color, it should be fine. Seeing the envious eyes of others, her heart blossomed.
"The Holy One asked you to serve tea, what are you rubbing?" A little eunuch ran over and knocked on her head, she was in pain, glared dissatisfied, took the tea to the main hall of Ruoyun Palace, and saw that His Majesty was talking to Concubine Yun, she stepped forward to serve tea, and wanted to leave.
"Wait." His voice sounded from behind, and she was happy, she deliberately wiped her rouge today, thinking that maybe she would be taken in by her.
She turned back and knelt down in fear, "What does the Holy Lord command?" ”
He looked at her from beginning to end, "The clothes on your body are made of Shu brocade?" ”
"Back to the emperor, yes...... It's Shu brocade. ”
He stood up suddenly, knocking over the tea on the table, "What a big boldness, this Shu brocade is the first queen's favorite material, since she went to the fairy, I ordered that no more Shu brocade should appear in the palace from now on, who gave you the courage to dare to wear Shu brocade to swagger." ”
"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't know, Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to spare your life." The maid cried miserably, and she suddenly turned to Concubine Yun, "It's the material that Concubine Yun gave to the slave maid, and it is the material that Concubine Yun gave to the slave and maid, Your Majesty." ”
Nanli turned her head to look at Concubine Yun, Concubine Yun was also flustered at the moment, she never thought that Nangong Yiqing, who only had a two-sided relationship, wanted to kill her as soon as she made a move, such a method was too cruel. Fortunately, she had a bad thought at the beginning, otherwise she would be in danger now.
She froze, "Your Majesty, the concubine has never seen this Shu brocade, I don't know where this girl got the material, but here to slander the concubine, Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, do you also suspect the concubine?" ”
In her heart, she remembered the one in Ruifu Palace, and she wanted to step on her to climb up and dream. Nanli saw that she seemed to have been greatly wronged, and the whole person was embarrassed, so he relented, and he kicked the servant girl.
"Dead and splashy, when the disaster comes, you still want to pull your master into the water, damn it."
Someone dragged the maid down, and soon the maid's screams came, Situ Yan was also afraid in her heart, she escaped by luck, and she should be more cautious in the future, the rules in this palace, she still has to learn more. Tomorrow, I will go to see the queen and ask for advice on the rules in this palace.
She slept peacefully, but she couldn't sleep, and she could still see the maid struggling in her dreams. This deep palace is still a little simpler than she thinks.
She was extremely unstable this night, and the next day she looked tired, touched up her makeup, and looked a little more energetic. Only then did I go to Jinluan Palace to say goodbye to the queen. saw that there were already two people in the curtain laughing with the queen.
She walked in, "The concubine asks the queen mother, the queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”
He turned around and saluted the two sisters, and Shi Shiran sat down. Seeing the tiredness that couldn't be hidden between her eyebrows, the queen asked with concern, "What is wrong with Concubine Yun, she looks so tired?" ”
"Yesterday, a thief entered the palace and caused some trouble, but it has been dealt with, and Queen Lao is worried."
"The inner courtyard of the palace is heavily guarded, and this thief is really bold, frightening his sister, and the palace is also uneasy." The queen gently comforted, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
"Fortunately, you haven't lost anything, Concubine Fu, you don't look very good. Didn't you sleep well? ”
She turned her head to look at Yiqing, with a tepid smile on her face, but the words were not so good, Yiqing naturally heard what she meant, smiled and did not answer.
"Concubine Fu should pay attention to her body, this day is getting colder, be careful." The deliberately heavy pronunciation is a warning she gave her, although she is gentle, but she is not easy to bully. People respect me, people despise me, this is her Situ Yan's style.
"Thank you sister for your concern."
The three of them had lunch together, and then dispersed.
"Master, I see that Concubine Yun seems to be indifferent, do you need a slave to investigate."
"No need."
"She hates me now, and she can't give her much of a handle. Otherwise, we will be passive. ”
"The master just has a good temper, such a person can't get used to her, otherwise she will become more and more difficult to control."
Yiqing glanced at the maid, and the maid closed her mouth in amusement. No more speech.
When she returned to the palace, she heard from the palace people that His Majesty was going to stay in Ruifu Palace tonight, saying that she missed her craftsmanship, her eyelashes trembled, and she thought of a good idea, she made strawberry jam, cooked white fungus porridge, and a few dishes of authentic Jiangnan side dishes.
"Your Majesty, try it, this is the strawberry jam made by the concubine, and the Jiangnan side dishes, it tastes better with the sauce."
She tasted a chopstick for each dish first, and Nanli slowly tasted it. He had never eaten like this before, and he felt that it was something different.
The lights were turned off, and she got into his arms like a kitten, very well-behaved. Nanli looked at her, "How did you learn your cooking skills?" Where do you get so many outlandish ideas? ”
"Your Majesty, guess, I'll tell you if you guess right."
