Chapter Eighty-Nine: Collected in the Warehouse
I looked at this guqin with the personal maids around me, although it was rewarded by the emperor, and this guqin looked very good.
The wood used to make the guqin should be a very rare wood, because this guqin still exudes a faint fragrance. Looking at the structure of this guqin, it is really exquisite everywhere.
It's definitely carved by people, and they know my thoughts, and they know that I don't like this thing very much. So they also played the guqin by themselves, and played it there twice, making a faint sound of the qin. They had a great time.
But I don't like it very much, I don't like to play the guqin very much. So there is no difference between sending a guqin and not sending it. And I don't like the emperor either, who would like something sent by someone who doesn't like it? This thing is just a matter of collecting dust.
I didn't care about it, and then said to Qiushui. "Put this thing in the warehouse."
The chances of things being put in the warehouse and moving them out are smaller, and many of the things that are put in are basically left there for a long time before they are taken out.
Qiushui listened to me very much and didn't ask why. Immediately bent down and picked up the guqin. At this time, Aunt Cangyun came in. She stopped Qiushui's movements, and she held the guqin in Qiushui's arms in her arms.
Aunt Cangyun is just a middle-aged woman in her 40s, even if she is middle-aged, the whole person still has charm and another flavor.
She looked at me with some seriousness, as if I had made a mistake. I'm a little confused. I didn't do anything wrong, why did she look at me like this?
I asked, puzzled. "Auntie, what do you mean by that?" Could it be that my aunt fell in love with this guqin? Yes or no, my aunt shouldn't be someone who likes these elegant things.
I sighed in my heart: women's minds are so difficult to guess, especially some older women.
My aunt said to me, and her tone was so serious. "This guqin is a gift from the emperor, and you have to look at it carefully. Girl, you don't know, this harem is powerful.
Let's just talk about this guqin. If you let the other harem concubines know that you threw this guqin in the warehouse, if there is anyone who wants to deal with you, take this matter to the emperor and tell him about it. At that time, the emperor will definitely dislike you because of this, after all, no one will like his own heart, and others don't care.
And they may also rush at this guqin, saying that you are despising the imperial power. Look down on the emperor, His Majesty looks down on this harem. At that time, you may even be implicated in the family behind you. These things are small things, but each of them, when connected, becomes a big thing.
Details determine success or failure, Niang Niang must not do things according to her own ideas because of her own preferences, this will not work in the harem, and the slightest carelessness will be placed in the abyss of no return. ”
I nodded as if I didn't understand, "What my aunt said makes sense, but I was negligent." ”
"It's still relatively light, if the emperor didn't see this guqin in this room when he came. He must know that you don't care about this guqin, and of course, you definitely don't care about him. This is more uncomfortable than hearing it from the mouths of others. Because when the time comes, it will be his own guess.
Therefore, this guqin should be placed in a very conspicuous position, and people should look at it vividly, and this guqin must not be damaged a little. You want to take care of it more carefully than we do, mother, you know? ”
Aunt Cangyun said such a long time, and her mouth was a little dry. I went and poured myself a cup of tea and drank it. Qiushui and the others were also listening carefully to their aunt's words. A group of them also didn't understand it.
But I understand, after all, I also understand a little bit of open and secret fighting in the harem. It's true, if you are not careful, you will be placed in the abyss of no return, and there will be no chance of getting up.
I also felt that I had been too careless in my previous thoughts, but this is the palace where you have to be careful everywhere, everywhere you have to be careful. Otherwise, something happened accidentally, and I didn't know how I died.
Even if you accidentally lose a handkerchief, you can be involved in a huge case, and then you will be involved in one way or another.
I was secretly glad that someone around me had reminded me to avoid making mistakes, and once again I was glad that it was a great idea for me to work together with Prince Guo. Because the person he sent was really so useful, I don't know how many times higher than me.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. "Thank you aunt for reminding me."
I am really grateful to her for being able to persuade me so hard, reason with me, and let me understand that these things are not simple. Life is not easy everywhere, and the women in the palace do not need to be busy with life like ordinary people.
But it is even more difficult for us concubines, there is only one emperor, but there are so many concubines. is talking about the rain and dew, but the ones who can really stick to it are those who are more powerful behind.
I also know that if it weren't for the family behind me, I might be like those little concubines who have little power, staying in the room with resentment, watching the sunrise and sunset, and the clouds rolling up.
Aunt Cangyun went to find a conspicuous position by herself, and Qiushui and the others went together to clean up that position. put this thing on the table, and Aunt Cangyun said with some sighs, "Niangniang, this harem is not easy to walk!" ”
She used to be a woman who had been in this palace, and she had seen all kinds of women fighting for the wind and jealousy, fighting openly and secretly. At that time, those concubines all went to one, and the two of them were simply not too ruthless, and this one promised to be able to abort the child by himself and pass it on to a certain concubine.
And the concubine over there was able to go and wrestle by herself, and crippled herself, and then said that someone was hiding and doing it. One or two are not only cruel to others, but even more ruthless to themselves. In this harem, it's really not easy to live!
After saying this, she asked all the palace ladies around me to go down. Because she is older and more cautious in her behavior, the palace maids around me also listen to her. She also has a sense of majesty in this palace. And she is also very fierce when she is serious, so the little girls are a little afraid of her.
My good maidservants have also gone down, and I know that this is what she wants to say to me, and I look up at her with some confusion. I wondered what she was going to say to me when the time came, and I had been doing well lately, and I hadn't made any mistakes.
Aunt Cangyun looked at me with a somewhat serious face, her eyes were single eyelids, and single eyelids have always been more serious and sharp than double eyelids. Seeing her look so serious, I sat there like a child and listened to her.
She opened her mouth and said, "The emperor should have been drunk last night and didn't have time to let you sleep, right?" ”
I nodded, not to mention drunk. It's so drunk that I can't look like a man, and the snoring sound can break through the sky. I didn't get a good night's sleep last night listening to that snoring.
I really don't know how a usually majestic emperor snores after getting drunk?
Aunt Cangyun said. "Mother, listen carefully to me. I know you don't want to sleep, but it's not always an idea for us to have Shirahoshi take over for us every time. After all, it is very troublesome for two people to exchange with each other.
The emperor is not a stupid person, he will always guess. Although he doesn't seem to be particularly fond of you, we don't know what he thinks about you.
We were afraid that he would get angry when he found out, and let us all of us go around without food. There was a deep concern in her voice.
Why shouldn't I be worried? If someone accidentally notices it one day, we won't be able to eat and walk around. And I'm definitely going to be the one to die the most.
"This is not a safe way after all, we have to think of a foolproof way to protect your innocence, and to make the emperor feel that." Aunt Cangyun continued, but when she said the last sentence, she blushed herself.
When I heard my aunt say that, I wanted to laugh. I didn't expect my aunt to be so old, and she was so subtle and euphemistic when she talked about that aspect of things. And the old face is still red, it's like an untrained little girl! Not quite like an aunt who has been through ups and downs.
"What does that aunt think?" I looked at my aunt as seriously as a student. I was also looking forward to my aunt's answer. I've been thinking about what kind of way to make the bed seamless.
My aunt looked me in the eye. Said very seriously. "Prince Guo also considered this matter, and he felt that he could use medicine."
I was immediately frightened. Oh, my God! Give the emperor medicine, I don't want to live? The emperor's body is very expensive, and there are often imperial doctors to check his pulse. Even if you are not sick, you have to take the pulse. To ensure that there is nothing wrong with the emperor's health.
If I drugged him, it would be fine. I'm afraid that this emperor will suddenly have some other problems. What's more, there will be some medicinal properties left in the body after taking the drug. If I take the medicine like this, and suddenly the pulse is taken out by those imperial doctors, then how should I explain it then?
I was a little embarrassed and said, "Will this not work?" "After all, the target of the drug is the emperor! The honorable emperor could not be more honorable.
My aunt said categorically. "Believe me, mother, it won't. This is the method that Prince Guo came up with. Then the safety of the drug will be guaranteed to a certain extent. Don't worry, mother. It's really fine. ”
Her gaze was so confident that it felt like nothing was going to happen. I looked at her like that, and I suddenly felt a little relieved, so that I almost agreed. Luckily, my self-control is good.
And I don't think things are very freewheeling, and I think about them seriously. The guqin just now just didn't like it for a while, so I wanted people to accept it.
I thought about it carefully, and after thinking about it, I said, "Auntie, forget about this drug." There are a bunch of imperial doctors around the emperor. I'm really worried that when the time comes, we won't be able to escape. You just go back and tell Prince Guo that I will definitely think of other ways. ”
Of course, other methods are not easy to think of, but I really feel that it is too imprudent to take drugs.
But no matter how good a method is, it's better than drugged, and when the time comes, if something happens to the emperor, it won't be good for me to pay for his life. I still want to get out of the palace alive to find a wishful husband to give birth to a monkey for him.
