080. A surprise was prepared
"Wash it up! Inadequate! Hurry up, you lazy minions! β
Su Jingyi roared a little out of control, just thinking about Mu Chengyi's face, she trembled with anger.
This person obviously knows that what she cares about most is her face and reputation, but she wants to humiliate her in this way!
But what did he really do to himself?
Su Jingyi's face collapsed even more completely.
He still dares to dislike her flat?!
At this age, she is already a figure that she can be proud of, okay?!
He dared to compare the Fengyue woman in the land of smoke and willows with her, Su Jingyi was so angry that she grabbed the edge of the bath bucket, and she felt uncomfortable just thinking of Mu Chengyi's face.
Sizhen led a group of people all over the world to find Su Jingyi's figure, but she was never found and she didn't dare to make a noise, at this time, Concubine Hui was talking to the concubines and wives, and said that this matter was a dead end, so she could only find it hard, and after Su Jingyi came back, she asked people to find Sizhen and them back.
After asking Sizhen where they had just gone, and learning that they hadn't stupidly run out of the sky to tell her sister about it, Su Jingyi resisted the urge to scold them for being blind, and took a deep breath: "I'm fine, it's just that I got lost, I fell, and my clothes were dirty and damaged, so I don't have to tell my sister about a trivial matter." β
Sizhen's eyes rolled, and she pressed the eunuch who frowned and wanted to ask more, and hurriedly nodded: "Miss don't worry, we must not say a word, this matter is related to Miss's face, is it a very decent thing for our Miss to fall in the palace?" Do you have to say that everyone knows everything?! β
Although she didn't like what she said, she successfully blocked the mouths of a group of people, and the palace people looked at each other, looked at each other, and hurriedly responded, after all, no one really dared to make the young lady of the Su family embarrassed.
Su Jingyi glanced at Sizhen, after entering the palace for a few days, she felt that this girl was still smart, so she pointed at Sizhen with a watery finger: "The clothes will be handed over to you, you can take them and burn them, and when my sister asks about the clothes, you will also come back and forth." After speaking, Su Jingyi glared at the people in the room viciously, and threatened, "I have just said what happened, you all heard it clearly and remembered, dare to let me hear someone say a word nonsense, I twisted your tongue!" β
The people in the room all said yes, and now there was no sound next to her, so Su Jingyi closed her eyes and continued to bathe.
She fell silent, ready to relax, and forgot all the disgusting things just now, Mu Chengyi, this dog thing, in order to gag her mouth with peace of mind, not only made her look like that and let her go back by herself, but also left her personal belongings as collateral, which was extremely shameless, Su Jingyi took several deep breaths to suppress her anger that was about to erupt.
As soon as Mu Chengyi was driven out of his mind, Ruyi's woman's voice sounded in his ears inexplicably.
She is very good at inviting people's hearts, pretending to be innocent and pitiful, as if she really didn't recognize her, rotten good person!
Originally, today was enough for everything to go wrong, I didn't meet anyone along the way, and when I was the most emotionally unstable and collapsed, I bumped into Li Ruyi, who I didn't want to bump into the most.
Su Jingyi was so irritable that she slapped her into the water, not only was her head and face stained with water, but even the palace people who were serving next to her also suffered.
The little palace maid who scrubbed her arms was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a moment what was going on, thinking that she didn't do a good job to make this young lady unhappy, but Sizhen stepped forward and dragged the little palace maid back, and said in a deep voice: "The water is going to be cold, why are you so blind?" Why don't you hurry up and send a few buckets of hot water. β
After driving the little palace maid away, Sizhen tied up her sleeves and approached Su Jingyi and said: "Tonight is safe, Miss Godyou, the slave maid is waiting for Miss to bathe, the hour is still early, now go to the sailboat, maybe the prince hasn't left yet?" β
Speaking of this, Su Jingyi was even more depressed, she was originally in a good mood to go to Prince Xun, but she wanted to get involved in Mu Chengyi's, she knew that the person over there was him, she must have hid far away, and she couldn't take a detour.
It's a pity that there is no chance for things to happen again, and now it is useless to regret it, she has no mind to see Prince Xun, and she holds her head and says irritably: "I'm tired, I don't want to go, a group of stupid minions." β
Sizhen laughed dryly: "Yes, it's all the slaves' fault, the slaves and maids think that the distance to the left is only two steps, who knows if it's still a step slower." After speaking, Sizhen rolled her eyes, and instructed another palace maid to get incense powder for Su Jingyi, and there was no one else in the room, so she said, "Miss, there is no difficulty for you, right?" β
These words stepped on Su Jingyi's tail, and Su Jingyi immediately stared at her eyes and said coldly: "He dare?!" I saw Miss Ben turn around and run away! It was just to chase him that he got lost and fell! β
Sizhen immediately echoed Su Jingyi, judging from her reaction, it was even more certain that something had happened, Su Jingyi was eager to deny and refused to face it, she had better not get to the bottom of it anymore, so as not to get into trouble for herself.
Because Su Jingyi must stop the matter and block the mouths of these palace people, she can't punish them for the trivial matter of 'losing it', otherwise her sister will definitely interrogate this matter, the minions are so confused, her sister is not easy to fool.
It annoyed Mu Chengyi, and he didn't know what would happen.
That madman.
Su Jingyi gritted her teeth, one day she would make him suffer!
After bathing with incense powder, Su Jingyi curled up in the quilt and refused to move, vaguely saying that when Hui Guifei and Su Lushi came back, they said that they were not very comfortable today and rested first, and tomorrow evening is the New Year's Day, everyone should accompany the Queen Mother in Chong'an Hall to keep the New Year, pray for good weather next year, and bless the southern country for thousands of generations.
Wait until the day after tomorrow, you can go out of the palace one after another, as long as you hold on, anyway, Sister Chang and her mother are also busy, as long as she doesn't show anything strange, this matter can be quickly revealed, go to sleep first, tidy up your mood, and there will be a fireworks show tomorrow.
Sizhen left a lamp for Su Jingyi, then closed the door and stood quietly by the door for a while.
After hearing that there was no movement inside, Sizhen walked down the steps and called all the people who had gone out in the afternoon again.
Originally, the palace maid who was arranged by Concubine Hui to go to Su Jingyi's side was naturally dissatisfied with her, but she was not good at it in front of her master just now, but now she saw that Sizhen was cheeky and regarded herself as the backbone, so she choked and said: "Where did you get so many words from a back kitchen?" What to say and how to do it, I don't know? Do you want to teach me?! How long have I been following my mother, how long have you been following my mother?! Don't think you'll be a little smart, Miss can change something by saying a few more words to you, Miss will be out of the palace in two days, and you will still go back to your kitchen on an errand when the time comes, understand? β
The smile on Sizhen's face froze, she clenched her fingers, took a deep breath and smiled again: "What my sister said is naturally right, of course I am nothing, but I have done things for my mother earlier, and I can still be looked down upon by my mother with two points of cleverness, and now we are all for the good of Miss, for the good of Niangniang, for the good of our Chengxi Palace, if we lose the face of the master, it is natural for us to go out of this palace and it is not comfortable, I just said a few words, if my sister thinks I am wrong, please ask my sister to advise." β
She had a gun and a stick in her words, but she didn't lose her momentum at all, and a few people next to her wanted to laugh when they heard it, but they were uncomfortable.
The palace maid's face changed, and seeing that no one was helping her speak, she snorted, and turned away.
Sizhen snorted coldly, rolled her eyes very lightly, and ignored her and walked away, Su Jingyi's own words were full of loopholes, and at first glance, she was upset and irritable and said it casually, so it would definitely not work to go to the concubine Niangniang to say it like this, so Sizhen figured it out and went in a little rounder, everyone was in the same voice, in case Aunt Xia Lan asked, it would not be ridiculously bad, as for the one who left the person who was arrogant and arrogant just now, it was none of her business if she couldn't answer when the time came, just one 'dereliction of duty' is given to her, and look how she will be rampant in the coming days.
Everyone is doing errands in front of the master, and naturally they are trying their best to climb up, the truth that the capable are competent, Sizhen understood a long time ago, as long as you seize the opportunity, today you are beautiful, tomorrow may not be your scenery, before the dust returns to the dust, who can say clearly?
It is not so easy to go up and keep the value of the master, but she has already prepared for it, and as long as she has the opportunity, she can seize it.
Β·
Ruyi was carried directly into the sedan chair by Jingchen.
He drank wine, and was in the middle of his life, when he got off the sailboat and carried her for a long distance, so that he buried his face in his shoulder and did not dare to lift it.
Entering the sedan chair, Jingchen was still a little unhappy: "It's so lively above, why is there no one below." β
Ruyi was so ashamed that he was faceless, and said angrily: "Is the emperor trying to meet someone and deliberately embarrassing his concubines?" β
Jingchen was in a good mood: "I hugged you, what are you embarrassed about?" changed others, and it was too late to be happy. β
Ruyi drank the wine, inexplicably bold, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a red face: "Then the emperor went up and hugged others." β
Jingchen snorted, raised his hand and twisted Ruyi's nose: "Have you learned to talk back?" You're so bold now, if I really go to hug someone, don't cry. β
Ruyi wrinkled the tip of her nose and stopped talking.
The sedan chair went steadily towards the west courtyard of the Yucui Palace, this time she took the initiative to invite Jingchen to go, the mood was still very different, she looked at Jingchen cautiously, and saw that his eyes were a little empty looking at the sedan curtain in front of him, and he saw it more blatantly.
The left side of his face is hot, Jingchen maintains such a posture, and he likes Ruyi to stare at himself like this.
She wrote all her likes and dislikes on her face, which is very understandable.
It's just that her own mind can't let her understand too much, and it's good to do this now.
After watching it for a long time, Jingchen's hand supporting his head was a little uncomfortable, so he moved his wrist and changed his posture.
Ruyi was like a frightened bird, and she sat stiff all of a sudden, making Jingchen cry and laugh, how could this girl be naΓ―ve after drinking.
Fortunately, the Yucui Palace is not too far, and when she got off the sedan chair at the gate of the palace, she almost stumbled, Jingchen dragged her, and easily wrapped her in her arms and crossed the sedan beam.
There was no one in the west courtyard, it was the candle that Fang Xiangcui lit when he came back, otherwise it would have to be lit all the way to the house in the dark, which is not good.
Jingchen pulled Ruyi to the bedroom and went in, Mama Zhao asked Xiangcui to make tea, Desheng volunteered to help, but it was a big help, Mama Zhao and Li Shuanglin went into the house to wait, the candles were not bright enough, and they lit a few more.
Jingchen saw these in his eyes, and after sitting down, he asked Li Shuanglin with a sideways face: "What about the two little eunuchs who are always there?" Why haven't you pointed anyone over yet? β
The emperor personally asked, this is the difference between the concubine being favored or not, the favored concubine, no matter what the grade, the things used are the best after all, because the emperor has been in the past from time to time, if he sees anything bad, he will definitely ask, and he will do things well and the emperor will ask before doing things, then it is completely two concepts.
Li Shuanglin has some friendship with Sun Zhongquan of the Inner Mansion, so he said a word for him: "Recently, I have been busy with the New Year's Festival, Ke Chang was suddenly in Jinfeng, and there was an embroidery matter, I want to come to the Inner Mansion and I haven't been busy yet, besides, I choose to be a person who is always there, so naturally I have to be smarter, Sun Zhongquan is reliable, and I think it's been these two days." β
When Jingchen heard this, he bowed his head: "Let him hurry up, just a grandmother and a palace maid, and the things rewarded by the queen mother at the end of the year are too busy!" β
Not to mention the reward he has prepared?
The inner government is still not dedicated enough to do things.
With such a sentence, Li Shuanglin naturally knew it in his heart, and when he saw that Jingchen didn't say much, he was relieved.
Now there is good tea in the west courtyard, Xiangcui should be turned out and brewed, the top snail snow, just smelling it is refreshing, when the tea is served, Ruyi personally got up and handed it to Jingchen, although she didn't know what Desheng said 'initiative' had to do, but she still understood the matter of serving tea.
Sure enough, Jingchen was in a good mood, seeing her clumsy and hard-working, the smile on the corner of her mouth didn't disappear for a second.
Obviously, all women have done such things for him, whether it is flattery or true feelings.
It's just that she does a coquettish, clumsy, it's hard to make people feel like she's moving her mind, as if all the energy and attention are on this one action, which makes people feel comfortable, like a more comfortable relationship, the person in front of him doesn't want to get anything from him, it's just. Pure everyday, simple ordinary.
It's hard for Jingchen to say this kind of feeling, and in the royal family, he rarely feels such warmth in someone.
But Ruyi has always been able to give him such a temperature, she may not be the most amazing in appearance, but being with her is the most relaxed time for Jingchen.
Seeing that the emperor and Ke Chang were in a good atmosphere, Li Shuanglin hurriedly gave Mama Zhao a look, and several people went out one after another, closing the door by the way.
Desheng glanced at the light in the door and said happily: "Master, we won't go back tonight, right?" β
Li Shuanglin glanced at him, raised his hand and clasped the door of his head, and said, "When can you stop asking such stupid questions?" Your master, I really have to explain everything to you, don't we? You kid want to exhaust me? β
Desheng covered his forehead, and then smirked twice: "Where can I be, didn't I listen to what the master said to be sure." β
Li Shuanglin snorted and patted him on the shoulder: "Naturally, you won't go back, you hurry up, go to the inner mansion, and tell Sun Zhongquan that good thing, the emperor is asking about the people who are always around him, let him carry his head on an errand, but don't be really old and dizzy, you can't polish your eyes in the future, or abdicate early to make way for Xian, save me from covering up for him, when his head falls off, it will be a small matter, and then he will mess with my!" β
Desheng understands the point, just now Li Shuanglin said such a sentence for Sun Zhongquan, but he has to repay the big personal favor, otherwise the emperor will be angry and ask down, and half of his life will be removed from a board, he remembered Li Shuanglin's words, and was about to go to the inner mansion, Xiangcui rolled his eyes and stepped forward: "Manager Li, can the slave and maid also follow?" β
Li Shuanglin glanced at her, in Su Ri, a little palace maid like Xiang Cui, Li Shuanglin is not uncommon, but now the emperor is in the West Courtyard, looking at Ke Changzai as if he was enlightened, and when he was being favored, Li Shuanglin said two words to Xiang Cui Haosheng: "You? You little girl, what are you running with the dark lights at night? What if the little lord and the emperor have orders later, and expect the two of us to be busy? β
Xiang Cui laughed twice: "Manager Li, aren't the slaves scared by what happened earlier, your old man knows best, and he followed at the beginning. When I followed the Wen family, because the people in the house were not aligned, there were a lot of unpleasantness, those things that ate inside and outside, and came to harm our little master, the slave and maid really couldn't swallow this breath, our West Courtyard was not peaceful enough, and asked Mr. Li to do well, pity and pity us, just let me follow, don't you want to choose someone tonight? β
With that, Xiang Cui stepped forward and stuffed the money bag in his sleeve into Li Shuanglin's hand.
This is all the belongings of her and Mama Zhao, although it is not much, but it is not too shabby to be handled.
Li Shuanglin cushioned the mat and chuckled: "The little girl knows a lot, it's not bad to have such a clever person as you by the little master's side, but it's useless to be smart, there is still a lot to learn in the future, be loyal, take good care of your little master, take this bag of silver money back, drive the girl and grandma to be free, and say a few more words for me and my unsuccessful apprentice in front of the little master." β
After watching this time, Li Shuanglin has long understood.
This little constant will never stop there.
He waited to see how far this little Chang could grow up and go in the future.
A casual sentence of convenience allows them to show their feelings, which will be of great benefit in the future.
The selection of people in the West Courtyard has been delayed, also because there were too many things that happened in the early days, and the inner government was really uncertain, and now Jingchen opened his mouth, Ming'er didn't see anyone send it before Jingchen left early in the morning, and Sun Zhongquan's head was not far away, so she was definitely going to choose someone tonight, but she got to the point.
Li Shuanglin returned the money bag to Xiangcui and raised his eyes: "Why don't you go to Mama." β
Mama Zhao shook her head and thanked Li Shuanglin for her kindness: "I'm old, and it is inevitable that there will be times when I am dazzled, and among young people, my intuition is often more accurate. β
Xiang Cui also nodded again and again, it seems that the two of them have discussed it early in the morning.
Li Shuanglin didn't want to say anything, he glanced sideways at the window, there was no movement inside, it seemed that he didn't want to be served for a while, so he waved his hand, and asked Desheng and Xiangcui to carry the lantern and bring the waist card to go back quickly.
The candlelight in the room was warm on his cheeks, Jingchen drank tea, and teased Ruyi in front of him with interest: "You asked me to come to you, did you prepare anything for me?" β
All the way back, Ruyi's wine has now woken up for the most part, Jingchen suddenly asked, she was a little confused, her round eyes were full of dazedness, her mouth was faster than her stiff and blank head, and she muttered: "Ah? No, I don't. Concubines. β
"Didn't you?" Jingchen showed a somewhat disappointed expression, "I was looking forward to it. β
Just such a sentence floated into Ruyi's ears and took root in her mind.
Yes, she invited Jingchen here, and Desheng said that she decided to work hard, since she had already won the beginning, how could she give up halfway?
Ruyi sat stunned for a while, although her eyes were still round and staring at herself, Jingchen could completely see that she was already spinning like a storm in her mind at this time.
He is completely the curiosity and bad behavior of a little boy, just to see what ideas Ruyi can come up with, she is introverted, it is difficult to break free from her own shackles on herself without stimulation, today this opportunity is very good, if she can really take this step, Jingchen can't imagine how the relationship and relationship between him and Ruyi will change after that.
But no matter how it changes, it's always a good thing.
She didn't have to put her posture so low, so far.
Jingchen hopes that her heart can be a little closer, a little closer, not just looking up and admiring him.
He hopes that one day, Ruyi will be able to love himself.
Of course, he knows that there are many people in this world who love him, and countless people love him one after another.
But what they love is the emperor.
Jingchen has always hoped that there is one person who can love Nan Jingchen.
That will also be sad and helpless, and will also be cowardly and sad, hiding the imperfect Nan Jingchen who is childish.
And not just to love the emperor who is omnipotent and high in the eyes of the world.
He didn't believe that others could do it, that they could accept that kind of self.
But for Ruyi, he has an inexplicable confidence.
He felt that maybe the soft and glutinous girl in front of him but with a strong heart could love him, love all of him, and be complete to fill his heart from childhood to adulthood.
When there is a desire in the heart, the more expectations there are.
Ruyi's silence seemed to Jingchen to be more like the mood before unwrapping the gift, he squinted at her slightly, he didn't feel anxious, he didn't feel bored, but the night was long, and he didn't want to just hug her sincerely.
After a while, Ruyi got up, she rubbed in front of Jingchen, her eyes were brightened by the candlelight, nervous and frank, kneeling on the soft couch on Jingchen's side, leaning forward with a little force, her lips trembling and falling on the corners of Jingchen's lips.
She straightened up, handed the shawl strap that had not been untied because she felt cold before the charcoal fire burned to Jing Chen, and said crisply: "Concubine. . . Accompany the emperor. β
