Chapter Twenty-Six: It Smells Good
As for the loss of those unspeakable books, I was tormented by Yaohua every day with the contents of them, and from time to time teased me to open the books, and I became more and more like a little woman in front of him.
He didn't stick to me like he used to, and every time he teased me, he blushed.
This day in the house is really depressed, I have seen the grass and trees in the Chonghua Hall for more than ten years, and finally want to go out for a walk, although Yaohua has not given me any name now, but these little palace maids and eunuchs look at the cuckoo and the German father-in-law are very good to me, and they dare not slack off.
Seeing that the sun is shining today, I want to take the cuckoo to the imperial garden for a walk, and it is time for His Highness to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
"Mother, are you going out for a walk?"
The cuckoo came over with a plate of fruit in his hand.
"The weather is getting warmer, I want to go out for a walk and move my muscles, you take a few palace maids with me."
Pick up the grapes from the plate and stuff them in your mouth.
"Niangniang, you eat slowly, and the slave will clean up."
The cuckoo put things down.
Although I didn't have a title, the palace maids and eunuchs in the Chonghua Palace all called me Niangniang, and I felt that I was not as comfortable as when I was called "aunt" back then.
I want to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, but I am also depressed, Yaohua seems to have something to worry about in recent days, ask him every night, and don't tell me.
It's not like when I was a kid who told me everything, and a few times I woke up in his arms at night and saw him frowning as he slept.
Now he is raised like a canary, and he doesn't worry about anything except eating and sleeping every day.
It happened that the front foot was about to go out, and I saw Yaohua and his father-in-law coming back in the morning.
"Yaohua."
I ran to him in three steps and two steps, like a little swallow, and in order to go out for a walk, I was already dressed up, gilded butterfly brocade placket, with jade embellishment on my head, and walked and moved to the wind.
"Be careful, don't fall."
I threw myself into Yaohua's arms and sniffed at his good smell.
"Am I looking good today?"
pushed Yaohua away and turned around.
"It's a sunny spring day, are you going to go out for a walk?"
Xu saw that I was not dressed up to greet him.
"Yaohua wants to accompany me."
A few steps closer, coquettishly.
"I still have something to do, I'll stay with you in the evening."
Yaohua said it close to my ear, otherwise if others heard it, I was afraid that I would be so ashamed that I wouldn't know where to go.
"You're talking nonsense again."
His Royal Highness picked up his little paw and twisted it on Yaohua's lower back, only to feel that he didn't seem to know the pain.
"It hurts, I have to pinch my sister at night."
After that, Yaohua smiled at the corner of his mouth and walked in front of me.
I vaguely felt the movement with Yaohua just now, making the people around me snicker, and the cuckoo grabbed my arm.
"Isn't Niangniang shy? Why don't we go to the Imperial Garden, let's go back to the Chonghua Palace. "How can I not understand the meaning of this girl's words, and she is ridiculing me and Yaohua.
"You girl, why are you so bold again. Let's go, go to the Imperial Garden. ”
Xu I think it's a good day today, but there are others who think it's not bad, this is just around the stream in the imperial garden, I want to see if the flowers in the garden are blooming.
I heard the chatter of a group of people not far away, and it seemed that another master had come to visit the Imperial Garden today. It's been a few months since I've been back, and I don't seem to have asked how the Empress Dowager Yaohua is.
When Xiao Guifei was mentioned a few days ago, I learned that after the rebellion of the Nine Emperor Prince Qingyang, Xiao Guifei committed suicide.
If it is the queen mother, I want to take a look from a distance, and I will move forward.
The cuckoo on his side hesitated and stopped, as if he was the person in front of him, and I couldn't see it.
"Cuckoo, the group of minions laughing in front of you are from the Queen Mother's Palace?"
I still want to be able to see the people in the former palace from afar, Yu Empress Dowager, I didn't feel anything after entering the palace, she was neither good nor bad to Yaohua, just like forgetting that there was still this grandson.
The cuckoo pulled my sleeve and whispered in my ear: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother will drive to the west before you come back." ”
The news made my heart tremble, such a spirited old man, how to say that she would leave, she was always lukewarm to Yaohua, but I didn't hate her as much as I hated Xiao Guifei.
When I learned the news of Concubine Xiao's death that day, I wasn't surprised, I just felt that people have inherent retribution.
"Then in this palace, except for me and Meng Ling, there are no other women around Yaohua."
I sighed and turned around, I don't know if the palace maids over there saw the people from Chonghua Hall coming over and told Meng Ling, she got up and came over to us.
My eyesight is better, and I can see the joy in her eyes through the palace maid and eunuch.
But when she got closer, she suddenly stopped, her originally kind and sweet face seemed to be holding it, and the girl next to her held it, if there was no one, I was afraid that she was going to fall.
Only then did I remember that I had not seen me for many days when I had gone out today without a veil, and this meeting had frightened her when she saw that she was really frightened.
"Mother, are you alright?" Just look at the little palace maid beside Meng Ling and say, her eyes can't stop looking in my direction.
I can't say who I am at this time, after all, after all these years. Where someone will never be old, it's just that people have similarities and similarities.
"I've seen the Queen Mother." The cuckoo tugged at my sleeve and told me to say hello to the queen, otherwise I would be stunned there.
Meng Ling didn't dare to speak, as if she was asking me whether I was a human or a ghost.
"Are you the sister who lives in the Chonghua Hall next to Your Majesty?"
There is a slight inquiry in the language, it should be clear in the head, but it just looks like it.
"Recently, the wind and cold have improved, so I took off my veil, but I didn't expect to see the queen mother and didn't know me."
……
Meng Ling smiled lightly, looking as kind as before, but the palace maid next to him looked at me and glared, and the cuckoo next to him looked like he was about to open his mouth and curse, but I stopped him. Meng Ling also looked sideways and told the palace maid to go down.
"Recently, the new girl is ignorant, which makes my sister laugh."
She always speaks nicely, and her smile is crooked.
Yaohua married her, and he shouldn't be disgusted in his heart.
"My sister is used to living in Chonghua Hall today."
Meng Ling came over and grabbed my hand, there was no queen mother's frame at all, just like two sisters talking on weekdays, but I have been in the palace for so many years, and I don't seem to have seen such a good concubine.
It's not intrigue, it's a needle. She is so good to me, even if I feel comfortable, I have to hide some caution in my heart.
"It's all good in the Chonghua Palace, and besides, Du Juan and Father-in-law De, they also say that I look like a person."
Because that day I heard that it was Meng Ling who told Youhua, and the former aunt was an old man.
