Chapter Forty-Nine: Aftertaste
Chenghuan Hall is located in the southwest corner of the inner garden of Daming Palace, just south of the Lin De Palace, only 500 steps away from the Lin De Palace. When Concubine Guo Shufei came back from Lin De Palace, it was snowing in the sky, and the road was a little wet.
Guo Shufei and a group of servants walked to the door of Chenghuan Hall and almost slipped accidentally, because Guo Shufei was angry in Linde Palace, and there was no way to vent the anger in her heart. Immediately he was furious, and he had all the servants of the temple who were doing chores pulled out and punished one by one in the snow.
There were a total of one hundred and twenty servants in this hall of Chenghuan, and each of them was punished with ten rods. There were constant mourning in the beating, but in front of Concubine Guo Shu, who was blue and blue-faced, no one dared to complain. I had to bury it in my heart and complain secretly.
Seeing many palace people being punished, Concubine Guo Shu felt that the anger in her heart had dispersed a little. Seeing that Concubine Guo Shu's face was a little gloomy, the maid said: "It's freezing outside, Niangniang, please go back to the inner hall, today the official family and Niangniang are just a pure misunderstanding." With the affection between the mother and the official family, I believe that Your Majesty will forget it tomorrow. ”
The maid Ziniang who spoke was Concubine Guo Shu's personal maid, who followed her since she was a child, and later followed her into the palace, and now it has been more than 20 years.
Concubine Guo Shufei glanced at Zi Niang, and then said lightly: "Is Han Qide back?" What happened to the Lin De Temple? ”
Han Qide is the eunuch in charge of Guo Shufei's palace, and today Guo Shufei was reprimanded by Li Luo, so Han Qide naturally wanted to stay there to listen to the news.
Zi Niang looked at Concubine Guo Shu and said timidly: "Back to Niangniang, Han Zhangshi just came back, and saw that Niangniang was angry, so he didn't come over." ”
"Then don't let him roll over and talk back."
I just watched a purple-clothed eunuch come to Concubine Guo Shu, knelt down and said: "Say hello to Niangniang, the slave maid just came back from the Lin De Palace, and saw Niangniang punishing the palace people, so I didn't come back and forth, the slave and maid should die, and please punish Niangniang!" ”
This Han Qide followed Li Luo when he was in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion a few years ago, and later Li Luo became the emperor, and this Han Qide followed this Concubine Guo Shu as the eunuch in charge of the Chenghuan Palace. It is said that he, an old man in the emperor's palace, has to get a high-ranking official like a privy envoy to do it, but his luck is very sad. The eunuchs in the palace don't want to see him, and he has a bad problem, he is addicted to gambling.
When Li Yi was three years old in Xiantong, he once arranged an errand for him to be an envoy in the inner workshop, but he made a big gamble and lost all the money on the account of the inner workshop, and later the incident made Li Luo angry and almost cut off his head. If it weren't for Concubine Guo Shu's intercession for him for his merits in the Hidden Mansion, his head would have moved long ago.
So over the years, he can only rely on the big tree of Concubine Guo Shu, and he can be regarded as a bit powerful in the palace. When he came back from Lin De Hall today and saw Concubine Guo Shu punishing the palace people, his heart trembled, Concubine Guo Shu was so fierce to the palace people, it can be seen how angry she is today. The news he brought, I was afraid that Concubine Guo Shu would be even more angry, so I didn't dare to take the initiative to report it.
Guo Shufei saw that he was so slippery, and she was afraid that the situation in the Lin De Hall must be something she didn't like, so Han Qide would be so procrastinating. So he said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, tell the details quickly." ”
Han Qide said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang, today, the officials in the Linde Palace are very fond of the singing and dancing presented by Liulangjun and Princess Changning, and they have rewarded Liulangjun and the princess with a lot of money. ”
When Concubine Guo heard this, she said in her heart: Liulang's kid still has talent, and it is not surprising that he will be favored by the official family. It doesn't matter if you give some money or goods. But when he looked down at Han Qide's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he was afraid that there was still the truth that had not been reported. So he said sharply: "What else is there for this palace." ”
Han Qide couldn't, so he had to report back with a bitter face: "The official family also made Liulangjun an envoy to the pear garden." ”
"What? Rokuro was a ten-year-old child, and he actually let him serve as the pear garden envoy. How could this official be so capricious? ”
"Yes, the official family did this, and Lieutenant Liu also advised the official family, but it was ......"
"But what? , from the truth. ”
Niangniang was angry, and Wei Xianggong went to the official's house in court, saying that Liulangjun was worthy of this position, and strongly supported Liulangjun. At that time, Wei Xianggong and Lieutenant Liu glared angrily, and if it weren't for the presence of the official family, both of them would have almost quarreled. ”
"Bastard, how can this Yun use help that little cub, back then, his mother relied on two sons and a princess, intending to compete with the palace for favor, and the palace finally got rid of that slut. Liulang's little cub and Changning's little fox Meizi have changed their ways to curry favor with the official family since the official's birthday last month, and now they are going to bully the head of the palace. He actually helped that little cub, did he take the wrong medicine? If it weren't for the help of this palace, would he be able to enter the political hall from a small bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and still dominate the political hall? The more Guo Shufei spoke, the more angry she became, and her voice became louder and louder.
The palace people who were punished in the snow in the hall did not dare to speak, and although a middle-aged female palace person was beaten, she put her ears on her ears, and after listening to Guo Shufei's words, a smile leaked from the corners of her mouth on her weather-beaten face.

The feasting in the Linde Hall is continuing. The two singing and dancing programs have been performed, and the original layout of the Lin De Hall has been restored.
Li Yi stood on the top of the imperial case, looking at Li Bao and Li Ying, who were sitting on the second floor, they had such outstanding talents in singing and dancing, Li Yi was happy in his heart, and he drank too much.
The courtiers and nobles in the palace are also staggering. Li Bao and Li Ying's singing and dancing today are very amazing, and Li Bao was also appointed as the official envoy of Liyuan, so many relatives of the royal family came to Li Bao and Li Ying.
Li Bao is young and reluctant to drink, so he and the people who come are all tea instead of wine. Li Ying was too excited, her pretty face was flushed, but she drank a few glasses of wine, she was already drunk, she took Li Bao's hand and refused to let go, and said to Li Bao: "Liulang, I'm so happy, it's all your credit that we can be so successful today, if my mother can see our sister and brother so good in the spirit of heaven, she will be happy." ”
Li Ying cried as she spoke, Li Bao was indeed too excited to see this sister today, but the girl had been suppressed in the deep palace for so long, and she was suddenly favored, so she was released. It's understandable, but in this Lin De Temple, crying is afraid that someone will be caught.
Li Bao said to Bi'er: "Sister is drunk, bring my sister's cloak, let's send her back." Bi'er went as promised, Li Bao walked in front of Li Luo, saluted and said, "My lord, Sister Baohe has worked very hard in the past month in order to prepare for "Thousand Hands Guanyin". My sister had drunk a few more glasses of wine just now, and she was already drunk, so she sent her sister back to the dormitory first. Please allow your permission. ”
Li Luo was already drunk, and seeing that Li Bao was very sensible, he waved his hand and said, "Go, you go and prepare the sedan chair and send Changning and Liulang back", Liu Jishu hurriedly agreed.
Li Bao got permission, so he helped Li Ying to walk outside the hall with Bi'er and Ling'er. Out of the palace gate, I saw Liu Jishu waiting outside the hall, and everyone helped Li Ying into the sedan chair. Li Bao looked at Li Ying's little face flushed, and let out a dense breathing sound, indicating that she was already asleep, and there was no need for him to send her back. He instructed Bi'er to take care of Li Ying, he turned around and refused the sedan chair arranged by Liu Jishu, and took Ling'er to the Jinluan Palace.
The heavy snow fell one after another, and the snowflakes danced in the air in various postures, or flying, or circling, or falling straight and fast, and fell on the ground of Daming Palace.
Li Bao and Ling'er left a slender footprint on the snow. Far away from Lin De Palace, Li Bao saw that there was no one around, so he turned around and stretched out his hand to Ling'er.
Ling'er saw that Lang Jun stretched out his hand to herself, and her heart was sweet. Hurriedly rushed to Li Bao, stretched out his little hand, and shook it with Li Bao's hand, only to feel that Li Bao's palm was very warm. Ling'er blushed all over her face and said to Li Bao: "Lang Jun is awesome today!" ”
Li Bao looked at Ling'er's delicate face, the little hand in his hand felt warm and smooth, and he couldn't help but clench Ling'er's little hand and said: "As long as Ling'er is always by my side, Lang Jun will always be the best in Ling'er's eyes." ”
Ling'er looked at Li Bao and only felt that what Lang Jun said was the best words in the world.
Snowflakes fell from the sky on a pair of beautiful people, and in a few moments they were wrapped in silver like the palace around them.
