Chapter 30 Self-cultivation

On the way back to Xiwu Palace, I saw Liu Jianxue walking briskly in a goose-yellow palace dress, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Why didn't I see you in the Queen's Palace today, didn't you get the news a long time ago but refused to tell me, and now come to see my jokes?" ”

Liu Jianxue looked at me with disgust: "Yes, just look at your jokes, I just ran over." ”

Although the two of us kept arguing, we still walked into the side hall of Xiwu Palace holding hands.

Hua Zao took the cloak from Liu Jianxue's hand, and stood aside respectfully, Liu Jianxue walked to my side and looked at me with concern.

"My sister is so strange today, it's okay not to go to the queen to ask for peace, but she came over and stared at me and didn't speak, why didn't my sister fall in love with me?" After saying that, Liu Jianxue's pretty face was dyed red, and I laughed to myself.

However, this relaxed atmosphere did not last long, because Liu Jianxue's face became stiff again, and I didn't continue to speak when I saw this, and waved my hand to let Qiushui and Bailu go out: "You guys go out first, I'll talk to my sister about myself." ”

Hua Zao followed the two of them away, and the already deserted side hall was instantly left with only me and Liu Jianxue: "Now, if my sister has any little secrets, no one knows about it!" ”

Liu Jianxue rolled her eyes at me and asked, "Do you know why I didn't go to the queen's palace to say goodbye today?" ”

When she went to ask for peace today, Chuanbei in the queen's palace said that the queen prayed for blessings, is there any other reason besides this incident?

"What does my sister know?" I looked at Liu Jianxue in confusion, the emperor often stayed in Changchun Palace in the past two days, maybe Liu Jianxue knew something unknown.

"I heard the emperor say that the queen has had nightmares for the past two days, and the emperor specially ordered the queen to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray."

The queen has a nightmare? I don't believe that the queen will also have nightmares, the people in this deep palace garden, there are not many lives under his hands, if everyone is afraid of nightmares, I am afraid that there will be no such scene now.

Liu Jianxue saw that I didn't speak for a long time, and shook my hand in front of my eyes, and I understood what she meant: "Sister is saying, the queen is going out to hide from the disaster?" ”

Liu Jianxue nodded: "We don't know if it's a disaster, but the queen leaves the palace, Concubine Shu's family is dominant, what will happen if you can't keep it, let's be careful!" ”

I glanced at Liu Jianxue, the heavy snow has melted in the past two days, and the people in the harem have begun to move.

"Okay, don't talk about these bad things, my sister is okay with the emperor?"

Seeing that I mentioned the emperor, a flush appeared on Liu Jianxue's face, it seems that although he has just entered the palace, and his aunt is suppressed, the emperor also goes to Changchun Palace very frequently.

"It seems that the emperor treats his sister very well, so my sister is relieved!" I looked at Liu Jianxue teasingly, and Liu Jianxue's face blushed even more.

"You are used to saying these things to tease me, you little skin monkey, tomorrow I will speak in front of the emperor, so that the emperor will also walk around in this Xiwu Palace!"

I didn't want the emperor to think of Xiwu Palace, and I didn't want to see that man, so I hurriedly pushed Liu Jianxue: "This kind of good thing is not blessed for my sister, and my sister will suffer it with my sister!" ”

I was talking to Liu Jianxue about my daughter's family, and Hua Zao suddenly opened the curtain and walked in: "Little master, the father-in-law next to the emperor came to pass the word, saying that the emperor is going to have dinner in our Changchun Palace today, let the little master hurry back and prepare!" ”

The smile on Liu Jianxue's face disappeared instantly: "Okay, I know, it's still early anyway, you go back first and let them prepare, and then come and pick me up later!" ”

I saw that Liu Jianxue didn't seem to want to leave, and even because the emperor was a little annoyed, she pretended to be angry: "My sister also said that she came to see me, I think you are here to show off, do you want to step on it when you see me cold here." ”

Liu Jianxue laughed angrily: "You, you, I came to see you kindly, but you blamed me for not coming." ”

I know that Liu Jianxue doesn't mean this, but in this palace, they seem to be concubines, but in fact, there are countless hardships, and there are many obstacles even when they meet, I pushed Liu Jianxue: "Okay, don't sour me here, go back quickly, if the emperor knows that you are slacking off because of me, I am afraid that my life will be even more difficult." ”

Liu Jianxue didn't say anything when she saw this, got up and tied the belt of her cloak under Hua Zao's service, and left the side hall of Xiwu Palace step by step.

It wasn't until I couldn't hear Liu Jianxue's footsteps anymore that Qiushui approached my side: "Little lord, what do you think about the queen's departure from the palace?" ”

Qiushui and Hua were already guarding the door of the side hall, and it was not unusual to hear my conversation with Liu Jianxue, but I wanted to know Qiushui's opinion on this matter.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of the queen leaving the palace to pray for blessings at this time?"

Qiushui heard my words, lowered his head for a long time and didn't speak, but Bailu didn't hold back: "What else can it be, it must be that the queen has done too many bad things, so she has a nightmare and wants to go to the temple to ask the Bodhisattva for blessing!" ”

After Bailu finished speaking, Qiu Shui and I looked at her with sympathy, and she was a little annoyed: "What are you doing looking at me like this?" Could it be that I'm wrong again? ”

Qiushui ignored Bailu's protest and turned his head to look at me: "The slave maid thinks that what Liu Guiren said is right, no matter what the queen means, as long as we guard the door of Xiwu Palace, we don't cause trouble and are not afraid of trouble, even if it is a big disaster, it has nothing to do with us." ”

Listening to Qiushui's words, I nodded, this is undoubtedly the smartest thing to do, but I don't plan to do it, everyone in this harem is a human spirit, and they must all be watching and watching, and they don't want to get burned, but I want to do the opposite, and even make as much trouble as possible, only in this way can the emperor and the queen be even more disgusted with me.

Qiushui's big eyes always swirled on me, as if he had seen through my intentions: "Little master, although you want to guard the young master like a jade, the slave thinks that what the master said is right, no matter what time it is, it is more important to be alive." ”

Qiushui's eyes are sincere, originally I was worried that Qiushui and Bailu were eyeliner sent by the second brother, but after getting along for a while, these two girls are considerate to me, and I rarely even think of Pei'er.

"I understand what you say, but if I don't take risks, I will also become one of the deep resentful women, if this life is spent in this hatred and resentment, it is better to give me a good time." I am afraid that before my words landed, Qiushui hurriedly wanted to speak, but her words were blocked by me waving my hand again and again.

Seeing that I refused to listen, Qiushui didn't continue to speak, but pulled Bailu to the outside of the side hall, Bailu was confused by her, and shouted puzzledly: "Didn't you talk to the little master, what are you pulling me to do!" ”

Qiushui is not like me, she just likes Bailu's straightforward character, she slapped Bailu's forehead: "You are also a fool, everyone in Changchun Palace has gone back to prepare lunch, do you want the little master to drink the northwest wind with you?" ”

Bailu suddenly realized, and knew that he was greedy for fun and forgot the time, so he immediately followed behind Qiushui obediently, and the two walked towards the imperial dining room together.

Although there is also a small kitchen in the Xiwu Palace, most of the concubines in the harem are not open in the palace, and the imperial dining room will also prepare food for the little masters every day according to their position, and it is convenient to take it directly.

I looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and couldn't stop being in a daze, today's sun is good to enjoy the plum outside, but no matter how warm the sun is, it can't warm my cold heart.

But in a moment, Qiushui and Bailu came back with a food box, and the fact that she turned her face with Concubine Shu in the past two days has been well known, and even the people in the imperial dining room must have made it difficult for Qiushui, but with Bailu here, I am not worried that Qiushui will be wronged, but it has hurt the two of them.

Qiushui walked into the side hall and placed the side dishes in the food box one by one, and then sighed slightly, I could hear it clearly.

"It's hard for the two of you, if this kind of thing happens in the future, it doesn't matter who the other party is, just take revenge!" Hearing my words, Qiushui didn't react, but Bailu was very happy: "I'll just say it, they make it difficult for us, just call back, you have to listen!" ”

Qiushui turned around and glanced at Bailu fiercely, Bailu was angry with her, turned his head and stopped looking at her.

I think if I don't say anything, these two people will have to fight, so I hurriedly changed the topic: "I see that what I sent today are all vegetarian food, since the queen left the palace to pray for blessings, we might as well learn from the queen, and eating some vegetarian food can be regarded as self-cultivation." ”

Qiushui kept looking at me, wanting to say something but never said it, but Bailu was very dissatisfied, looking at the vegetarian dishes on the bowl and felt unappetizing: "Where is this for people to eat, obviously it is to feed rabbits......"

Halfway through speaking, Bailu looked up at me, covered his mouth with his hand, and I suddenly laughed: "Your mouth, I'm afraid you will suffer in the future." ”

After speaking, I ignored the two of them, picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, Qiushui and Bailu were always serving on the side, and I felt weird to eat alone, so I proposed: "Why don't you two eat together." ”

This time, Bailu reacted quickly, and immediately knelt down in front of me: "What is the little master talking about, the slave and the maid and Qiushui are both subordinates, how can they sit with the master." ”

Qiushui glanced at her and sat down generously: "Bailu, you go and get two pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”

Bailu looked up at me, I nodded in agreement, Bailu walked out with some hesitation, and came back with two pairs of chopsticks after a while.

Seeing Qiushui sitting next to me and feeling comfortable, Bailu refused to sit down, but I personally got up and pressed her on the seat: "Okay, let's wash the Wu Palace is already like a cold palace, and you are my personal maidservants, it doesn't hurt to sit at the same table to eat, and I also want to be lively." ”

Seeing me say this, Bailu was relieved to hand the dishes and chopsticks to Qiushui, looking at the vegetarian dishes on the table, Bailu didn't seem to know how to move the chopsticks for a while, I took the initiative to put the dishes into Bailu's bowl: "Don't be picky, eat more vegetables is good for your health." ”

Bailu looked at me bitterly, and extremely reluctantly picked up the vegetables and put them in his mouth.

After lunch, Qiushui and Bailu quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, while I lay on the chaise longue and picked up a wild book to read carefully.

Qiushui packed up and walked to me: "Little master, today's sun is exceptionally good, don't we go out for a walk?" ”

"yes, it's time to go out for a walk." I put down the wild note in my hand, Qiushui was very eye-catching to help me tie my cloak, and walked out of the side hall of Xiwu Palace, a soft beam of sunlight poured on my body, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, when the ice and snow melted, it seemed that even the air had a touch of snow sweetness.
