Chapter 611: Muttering
Ciming Palace, the scorching sun is at the head, the trees are endlessly noisy, other palaces at this time even the rough palace maids are hiding in their rooms to nap, only Ciming Hall is still like the morning and night is the coolest time at the moment, the people are boiling, so lively!
"County Lord, come down quickly, the slave has already made your favorite mille-feuille cake for you, and the slave will accompany you to the imperial garden to pick osmanthus flowers in a while, okay?"
"County Lord, you better hurry down, or it will be contaminated with heat for a while, but it's amazing, the weather is so hot, and the trees are not cool."
"County master, the slave maid has found you some very interesting things, and the slave maid will give it to you when you come down, okay?"
"County Lord......"
"County Lord......"
Seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs stood under a towering tree in the center of the courtyard of the Ciming Palace, and the branches like big umbrellas covered most of the entire courtyard.
"Presumptuous! Don't you know that the Queen Mother is taking a nap? Who gave you such the audacity to make noise again, and you don't want to have your head? A little eunuch came out and scolded in a low voice.
A palace maid who was waiting close by Fang Jinyan's side bowed down to the eunuch and pointed to the big tree, and whispered: "The county lord didn't know when he climbed to the tree, and the slaves and maids were worried that if they accidentally fell down, it would be bad." ”
The little eunuch listened, and was also surprised, walked a few steps quickly, and arrived under the tree. After looking at it, there was no one except the branches and green leaves, so he said, "Are you sure that the county lord is on the tree?" Such a tall tree. Not to mention a young lady, it is not easy for us to go up. ”
A eunuch on the side said secretly: "The county lord can even go up to the house, what is this big tree?" ”
The little eunuch squinted his eyes and glanced at the eunuch who was speaking, and the eunuch was so frightened that he immediately stopped his mouth, lowered his head, and stuck out his tongue.
"What are you all doing standing here, why don't you hurry up and invite the county lord down for me!" The little eunuch raised his voice. He looked angry.
I don't know when Xiyan came over, the little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward with a shy smile, bent down and whispered, "Auntie." This county lord probably only listens to you, hurry up and let her come down, in case something happens, the slave can't afford it. ”
Xiyan didn't say anything and walked under the tree. Looked at it. I didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of waking up the Empress Dowager, who had just fallen asleep with great difficulty, so I had to call softly: "County Lord, County Lord, Lord Leng is here to see you, come down quickly." ”
Sure enough, it seemed to come from a long distance and a light voice that didn't seem to be real.
"Lord Leng? Is it my big brother? ”
Everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of hope, and they all signaled with some urging to this only Xiyan who had a way for the other party. Let her quickly get this county lord down, she is here. All the people in the entire Ciming Hall seemed to be worried that they would be scared to death by this county lord at any time.
Xiyan snorted and said, "I said I was going to take you home, will you go back?"
There was no sound, and then I heard the sound of branches rustling, no one spoke, so Xiyan had to say again: "It's Hangzhou's home." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another louder sound than just now, and from time to time some unripe fruits and branches fell from the trees, which frightened some timid palace maids to quickly hide aside.
Xiyan looked up, and soon saw a figure in a blue dress, Xiyan whispered to the eunuchs around her to be careful about this, and pay attention to the county lord at any time, in case one accidentally stepped on the air, it was not a joke.
Soon the figure stood on the lowest branch with the dexterity of a monkey, and with a handful of fruit plucked from the tree, and the hair that had been combed for her in the morning was now somewhat disheveled in front of her forehead and behind her head, but the beautiful little face was still so moving.
"County Lord, you slow down, throw what you have in your hand to the slave maid, and the slave maid will hold it for you." Xiyan smiled and whispered to Fang Jinyan.
Fang Jinyan tilted his head and grinned at everyone, and said, "I won't give it to you, if I give it to you, what if you steal it while I'm coming down?" ”
Everyone couldn't help snickering, and Xiyan said softly: "The county lord knows that the slave and maid have been on fire for the past two days, and their mouths are all rotten, and they can't eat the fruit." ”
Fang Jinyan looked at the fruit in his hand, and then looked at Xiyan's outstretched hand, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said, "No, you get out of the way, I'm going to come down." ”
When Xiyan heard this, she couldn't help but be half frightened to death, Fang Jinyan was standing at least two people above the ground, and hurriedly stopped: "No, no, the county lord must not ......"
Before Xi Yan finished speaking, she saw a blue side coming towards her, Xi Yan hurriedly dodged to the side with the eunuch and palace maid on the side, everyone looked at Fang Jinyan who landed steadily with a shocked face, and was still holding the fruit tightly in her hand and watching everyone laugh.
Xiyan stepped forward quickly, first asked the palace maid on the side to take the fruit in Fang Jinyan's hand, and then took out her own handkerchief to wipe Fang Jinyan's sweat, and after the palace maid and the eunuch dispersed one by one, Xiyan carefully took Fang Jinyan's hand and walked to the room.
"Where's my fruit?" Fang Jinyan entered the room, Xiyan was busy letting the palace maids wait for Fang Jinyan to wash, and Fang Jinyan remembered his fruit.
Xiyan gently washed Fang Jinyan's face and replied, "Let Qiao'er take it to wash it for you before eating, okay?" ”
It's been a few days since she entered the palace, Fang Jinyan still can't call the name of anyone around her, Xiyan gets along with her day and night, she never knows to call her name, she only smiles at her.
Fang Jinyan pushed away the handkerchief in Xiyan's hand and said, "That's not for me to eat, you hurry up and get it back for me, I'll be useful." ”
Xiyan had to let people bring those fruits to Fang Jinyan, Fang Jinyan thought very preciously, put them in the palm of his hand, and said to Xiyan: "I heard at breakfast that the fruit on this tree can cure mouth pain, you go and ask me." I remember that there was a girl next to me whose mouth hurt so much these days, and you boiled it for her to drink, okay? ”
Xiyan saw Fang Jinyan looking at her innocently. Thinking of the morning, several palace maids served Fang Jinyan to eat, and one of the palace maids said that she couldn't eat anything because of the fire, Fang Jinyan asked if there was any way, and the palace maid casually pointed to the big tree outside the window, saying that the fruit on this tree can be picked and boiled in water, who wants to ...... Fang Jinyan actually took it seriously. It was noon, and on such a hot day, I went up to the tree to pick fruit for myself, thinking of this. Xiyan couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, her nose was sore, and tears were about to flow.
Xiyan took the fruit from Fang Jinyan's hand and said, "You sleep obediently for a while." When you wake up. Lord Leng is right next to you. ”
"Then why doesn't he come now? I don't want to sleep. Fang Jinyan was coquettish like a child.
Xiyan coaxed and persuaded: "My lord, go find something delicious for the county lord now, you go to sleep obediently, and you can have something delicious when you wake up, okay?" ”
Fang Jinyan nodded obediently, Xiyan asked the palace maid to help Fang Jinyan go to sleep, and when she fell asleep, she asked people to stand by and guard, in case there was no one when she woke up. I don't know where this county lord is going to go.
Xiyan went out with the fruit and met Leng Yi coming. Hurry up and kneel and salute.
Leng Yi looked at the fruit in Xiyan's hand and knew that it was Fang Jinyan's masterpiece without thinking about it, and after letting Xiyan get up, he asked, "Did you get it back?" Where did it go? ”
Xiyan looked at the big tree at the door, and Leng Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Is there anything else in this Ciming Hall that she hasn't been to?"
Xiyan thought about it and shook her head with a smile.
"The county lord just went to sleep, didn't the lord say to go to the queen mother, why did you come here so quickly, or the slave maid will go and tell the county lord to get up, she heard that you are going to take her home, she is happy."
Leng Yi's cold eyes glanced at Xi Yan with a little hesitation, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work today." ”
Xiyan has been in the palace for a long time, and naturally what she is best at is observing words and feelings, seeing Leng Yi's expression, she nodded and did not speak.
Leng Yi walked to the door, and saw that Fang Jinyan's bed curtain was lowered, and there were two palace maids sitting next to the bed, one at the head of the bed and the other at the end of the bed, presumably the Queen Mother was really repentant at this time, how could she bring such a thing to herself, she couldn't be scolded if she couldn't beat it, and she had to go to the room or into the water by Fang Jinyan's temperament one day, anyway, she couldn't be idle for a moment except to sleep, but fortunately, the people around her did their best to keep an accident, but it was also a good toss for the Queen Mother.
Leng Yi stood at the door and watched for a while, Xiyan stood behind Leng Yi, she didn't know what the young prime minister was thinking, but she knew that this young prime minister was amazing, not to mention that the emperor respected him very much, even the queen mother favored him, such a young talent, in front of everyone is high, but when he met Fang Jinyan, he put down his figure, like an amiable big brother everywhere to maintain, everywhere thoughtful, lest this little girl receive half a point of harm.
Leng Yi turned around and saw that Xiyan was looking at herself and coughing dryly, Xiyan reacted, and was so frightened that she quickly bowed her head and retreated to the side and didn't dare to speak.
"Xiyan, I'm afraid that the county lord will stay here for more than ten days, and during this period, I can only entrust the county lord to you." Leng Yi said lightly.
Xiyan lowered her head and could only see Leng Yi's court boots, which were sewn from Suzhou Shanggong, warm in winter and cool in summer, very refreshing, but the price was expensive, and not any official could afford to wear them.
"Slaves don't dare, this is what slaves and maids should do." Xiyan hurriedly replied, not daring to look up.
I only heard Leng Yi's low sigh, and for some reason, Xiyan saw Leng Yi's pair of court boots slowly disappearing from her sight, so she dared to raise her head and look at Leng Yi's tall figure and go out.
"Auntie, I just heard Yunxi in the Empress Dowager's room say that Lord Leng wants the Empress Dowager to marry Fang Jinyan and then take her home, but what the Empress Dowager means is that the county lord is now her own daughter-in-law, so it is naturally good to leave her palace on the day of marriage." Qiao'er whispered on the side.
"Mouthy! Where should we inquire about the affairs of our masters? Xiyan sank her face and rebuked sternly.
When Qiao'er heard this, she was so frightened that she quickly retreated.
Xiyan looked into the room, looking at the fruit in her hand, and muttered, "It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay." (To be continued......)
