Chapter 20: Heart
Buwanwan arrived at Zixiang Pavilion, and saw that Lianyu and the two new palace maids were busy, and the cooking smoke was lit in the house.
The charcoal was prepared in advance, and the ingredients were just sent by the Catering Bureau, Lin Baolin took the palace maids to cut bamboo skewers with knives, skewered meat and vegetables, and the sauce was sent to her by Lin Baolin's father from outside, Lin Baolin was afraid that the movement would be too big, so he roasted meat in the house, afraid that the steps would be smoked, and pulled her to sit in the courtyard and talk.
Buwanwan smiled and beckoned, Qinghua brought the box, Buwanwan handed it to Lin Baolin, and said: "Today is my sister's birthday, and my sister doesn't know what my sister wants, so I made a gadget and gave it to my sister to talk about my heart." ”
Lin Baolin took the box, his cheeks were slightly red, and he looked a little shy, "How does my sister know that today is my birthday?" ”
Others can't remember, in the palace, the harem concubines have no right to have a birthday, for Lin Baolin, to be alive is to be reborn, and to be able to reconcile with the Bu Wanwan sisters is to be reborn, so she only prepared these today, but she didn't expect Bu Wanwan to remember.
Buwanwan said: "In the East Palace before, I helped my sister hold a birthday banquet, and I haven't forgotten it." ”
At that time, the emperor, that is, the crown prince, was busy accompanying Concubine Hua and me, Buwanwan and Lin Baolin spent their birthdays in the dormitory in a low-key manner, and Buwanwan was really happy at that time, and she was even happier than being favored now.
The laughter was real.
"Open it up and see if you like it." The steps urged Lin Baolin.
Lin Baolin opened the box, only to see that there were two sachets, embroidered with two flowers, one purple and one pink, and the jade spikes hanging on them were very delicate and held in the palm of his hand like a baby, "It turns out that my sister still remembers that I like purple the most." ”
Bu Wanwan nodded, "Purple represents my sister, pink is me, one of us, which means that the two sisters are inseparable, and the embroidery on the top is embroidered by me in the new style of the Weaving Bureau, does my sister like it?" ”
Lin Baolin listened, panicked and pulled up his hand and looked at it carefully, there were indeed several needleholes on it, "If it was really embroidered by your own hands, I remember that my sister is not good at this, just order my subordinates to do this, why bother to come by yourself, my sister is pregnant, but she still has to suffer this crime." ”
Bu Wanwan held Lin Baolin with her backhand, "Sister, don't say that, this palace is full of gold and jade, I don't want to give you these false gifts, I can't think of anything good in my head, so I have to choose such an object, and I'm afraid that my sister will laugh at it, if my sister likes it, then I won't suffer this crime in vain." ”
Lin Baolin's eyes were red, and he said anxiously: "Sister can't cry, today is a happy day, and my sister has to be happy." ”
Lin Baolin nodded again and again, "My sister is right, don't talk about this between you and me, come, let's eat barbecue." ”
Bu Wanwan smiled.
Buwanwan heard that the sauce was sent to the palace by Lin Baolin's father, she couldn't help but feel envious, she was also homesick, since she got married, she never saw her father again, Buwanwan didn't want her father at all, but she missed her mother, and her mother was not favored in the house, and was always bullied by other ladies, she didn't know that she was now a queen, her father would treat her mother well, and her mother would be as lucky as her in the house to live a comfortable life.
Buwanwan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes looked at the palace wall, she suddenly wanted to go out, she thought about whether the sky outside the wall would be different, she remembered that she used to grow up in a small mansion and never went out, at that time, she was also looking at the wall like this, imagining the sky outside the wall.
After a while, the barbecue also came up, but somehow, Bu Wanwan was tasteless today, and there was a faint bitter taste in her throat, she thought, maybe it was the pain of homesickness.
Today, on Lin Baolin's birthday, Bu Wanwan was supposed to accompany her to drink two cups, but Bu Wanwan was pregnant, so she drank a cup of tea instead of wine and chatted about her heart.
The two sisters talked with each other for a while, and Buwanwan also returned to Zhaohua Palace, and when Qinghua helped her back, she understood, "No wonder Niangniang wants to come in person, today is Lin Baolin's birthday." ”
Buwanwan said: "I have a deep relationship with my sister, and in the harem, she is the only friend like her, so I naturally have a heart today." ”
"But the mother is too concerned, Lin Baolin's birthday, her preferences, the queen mother all remembers, but she doesn't care about the emperor like this." Qinghua muttered, she compared the emperor with Lin Baolin, and always felt that Buwanwan lacked a little meaning to the emperor, but now she understands that it is her heart.
"Qinghua." Bu Wanwan stopped her sharply, "If you are so open-mouthed in the future, this palace will punish you." ”
Qinghua was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes." But she thought to herself, she just said it so casually, but Bu Wanwan seemed to be very concerned and anxious.
After returning to Zhaohua Palace, Bu Wanwan knew that Chen Zhaoyi actually sent the peony to her, and the peony knelt in front of her, and said for a long time, it was nothing more than that Chen Zhaoyi didn't want her anymore, if Bu Wanwan refused to accept the peony, she really had nowhere to go, even if she went back to Chen Zhaoyi, she couldn't get anything good.
Bu Wanwan is distressed now, it stands to reason that which palace the palace maid is sent to is arranged by Liu Gonggong, the deputy head of the inner house, and now Chen Zhaoyi drove away Peony in a fit of anger, but Peony came to her, and she didn't have an idea, I don't know whether to keep her.
Later, Bu Wanwan asked Qinghua to test the meaning of Liu Gonggong, and now no one in the entire harem knows that Bu Wanwan is fragrant and sweet, and they all want to please, Liu Gonggong naturally agreed to come down, and said that the queen wants which palace maid, but it is just a matter of one sentence, Bu Wanwan sent a lot of silver to Liu Gonggong, which is regarded as returning the favor of Liu Gonggong.
However, Qinghua doesn't like peony either, every time Peony wants to be courteous in front of Buwanwan, Qinghua always uses all kinds of work to send her away, no matter what Peony does, Qinghua can find faults, and several times Peony was scolded and cried.
Buwanwan always told Qinghua not to bully Peony, in case the emperor came up, it would not be like a word when he saw Peony crying.
Qinghua wrote it down, but she was fierce with Peony, asking her not to cry outside in the future, and if she wanted to cry, she would go back to the room.
In the blink of an eye, Buwanwan's belly was five months old, and the emperor no longer came to Zhaohua Hall every day, but there would be one or two times a month to see her, and then he left in a hurry.
Buwanwan was used to the days when the emperor was there, and suddenly felt that the days were bitter again, and the long nights were long, and they were a little difficult.
Night.
Buwanwan sat in the courtyard and watched the moon, Qinghua didn't think the moon was anything to look at, she preferred to stay at the door, waiting to see when the emperor would come back.
He'er was willing to accompany Bu Wanwan to look at the moon, but when Bu Wanwan looked down, she could always see He'er looking at her, she asked, "He'er, what are you doing in this palace?" ”
Like a child who was caught doing something wrong, He'er lowered her head and said, "The slave thinks that the mother is so good-looking. ”
Bu Wanwan smiled, "The concubines in the harem are all good-looking." ”
He'er said again: "No, the slave maid thinks that the mother is the best-looking, especially when the mother looks at something seriously, her eyes are very bright." ”
He'er said, and glanced at Bu Wanwan's eyes a few more times.
