Chapter 168: Wishful Thinking Fails
The concubine Niangniang in the Penglai Hall is still boiling her Yangxian tea in the main hall, the three copper charcoal basins in the room are burning, the jumping fire reflects the small red clay stove that cooks tea, the house is warm like spring, and the room is full of tea fragrance.
The charcoal pot and the tea stove are the same, but the fennel feels different from before. It has been a year and a half since she followed His Majesty and the concubine into the Daming Palace, and I am afraid that it is only for a few days, and the smile on the face of the concubine is real, with joy from the heart.
Fennel knows that it's all because of Your Majesty. Although His Majesty and Niangniang have always respected each other in the past, in the past two years, it seems that something has always been missing. It was only during these days that Niang Niang and Her Majesty really opened their hearts, as they had done for many years in the past, boiling wine and tea, grinding ink, and reminding Fennel of the words "fairy couple".
Fennel smiled and set the charcoal fire in the tea stove for her, and said: "Tomorrow the horse will enter the palace, and I will be happy to see the current appearance of the mother." ”
Nian Yun smiled and separated the brewed tea, and said, "What am I like now?" ”
Fennel said: "It's the same as when Niangniang gave birth to the king." ”
The corners of Nianyun's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled softly. In a blink of an eye, You'er is so old, time really waits for no one.
Speaking of Guo Yan, Fennel remembered something, and said to Nianyun with some hesitation: "Niangniang, the slave maid has been staring at Zheng Qiaoqiao these days, and that girl seems to be a little ...... the concubine."
Nian Yun's eyes were always staring at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the cup, and after watching for a while, he said slowly: "Do you think why did I mention the matter of the third brother entering the palace in the main hall in the morning?" ”
But no, as soon as she said fennel, she remembered, and in the morning the mother told her in the main hall to pick out a set of clothes for Ming'er to see the horse. Niangniang has always been cautious, but everything about His Majesty, her and the Guo family, no matter how big or small, must only be heard by the four palace people around her. Even if you say it casually, it is impossible to reveal any news.
"Niangniang means ......"
Nianyun drank the tea, rested the cup on the table, and raised his head, "Ming'er, let someone follow her and see what she is going to do." Bengong always felt that the girl's eyes were gloomy and compassionate, not likable, and far worse than Du Qiu. It's just that she sacrificed herself to save the palace on the way, so she was just kind to her. ”
Fennel said: "Niangniang is right, I don't want to accept such a woman by my side if I want to come to the horse." ”
Nian Yun was a little stunned, and said: "If the third brother has something he likes, this palace is also willing to be an adult." It is rumored outside that Guo Yuma Feng is handsome and magnificent, and the woman she admires can be lined up from our Qinrenfang all the way to Qixiamen. But over the years, we have all watched, how could the third brother ever have the heart to do this? ”
Fennel comforted: "The horses are outstanding in appearance, and there are naturally many people who admire them, and since the mother knows, she doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
Nian Yun stood up and looked out the window: "This Daming Palace is already in crisis, and there has never been a shortage of smart people or people who think they are smart. I'm afraid of the people around the palace, so I turned out some demon moths. ”
Because the concubine has the habit of taking a nap, the people in Penglai Hall know that Guo Yan has always seen that the concubine has always entered the Wangxian Gate every two o'clock, and came in from the Chongming Gate at about three o'clock, and passed through the side of Lingqi Pavilion to the Penglai Palace.
When the concubine fell asleep, about the beginning of the day, Fennel quietly called a little palace maid and went to the Zhaoxun Gate in Zuoye to wait for Guo Yuma.
Guo Yan really entered the palace according to the original hour, and when he walked to the Zhaoxun Gate, the little palace maid of the Penglai Hall stopped him, "Niangniang ordered the slave maid to come to welcome the horse, please come here for the horse." ”
Although he had informed Nianyun in advance when he entered the palace this time, he was very familiar with this Daming Palace, and he didn't need her to send someone to greet him. He was a little surprised, but he didn't show it, and followed the little palace maid forward.
After walking for a while, he still felt that something was wrong, so he stopped: "Why do you go around to the right side?" ”
The little palace maid had to tell the truth: "It was Aunt Fennel who ordered the slave maid to take the horse from this side, for fear that someone would wait on the left side to stop the horse and delay the time." ”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze swept over the little palace maid's face, looked at her for a while, and finally moved: "So, let's go." ”
He originally heard that His Majesty had treated Nianyun really well during this time, so he came to take a look. In this way, his sister's life is not so leisurely, and she is always on guard against others.
The little palace maid didn't say much, and smoothly took Guo Yan to Penglai Palace.
Because of some detours, it was already half a pillar of incense late, Nianyun had been waiting in the main hall for some time, and when he saw him, he welcomed into the side hall, and only called the four palace people.
Guo Yan looked her up and down, and sure enough, when he saw that his complexion was better than before, his face calmed down, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Fennel hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Niangniang, the concubine, it was the slave maid who made her own opinion, and ordered someone to take the concubine to the right side of the door to come over, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”
Nian Yun originally ordered someone to keep an eye on Zheng Qiaoqiao, and if she did anything at that time, she would be able to catch it right. But Fennel stopped it directly, so it was okay, so as not to let Guo Fei follow him.
Nianyun smiled: "It's okay, it's just that someone has taken a fancy to our graceful concubine, and this palace doesn't want the beauty of adults." ”
Guo Yan didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you don't like it, then don't care what she does, this Daming Palace is still yours in the end." ”
Nianyun turned to him with a smile and said, "Listen to my brother's words, if I like it, my brother will accept it?" ”
Guo Yan smiled and said: "Even the three thousand beauties are given to me, as long as you give it, I will take it." ”
Nian Yun slapped him with a smile: "Three thousand beauties, you want to be beautiful, and you have given it to you, so isn't the entire Daming Palace going to move back to the Guo family?" ”
Guo Yan said seriously: "I will become whatever you want me to become." Whatever you want to give me, I want. In short, I just hope you are doing well, as it was in the past, and it will be in the future. ”
Nian Yun didn't know how to answer, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Brother doesn't need to say it, Nian Yun knows it." Since it's just a matter in the Daming Palace, my brother doesn't have to worry about me. ”
On the other side, Zheng Qiaoqiao deliberately took a look at the empty space and went to the path next to Ling Qi Pavilion to wait. She also specially inquired about what time Guo Juma would arrive, and he has always been a punctual person.
She counted the time when she came a stick of incense in advance, but after waiting for two quarters of an hour, no one came. Zheng Qiaoqiao gradually became a little anxious, wanting to go back and have a look, but she was unwilling to miss this good opportunity. You must know that Guo Yuma can't enter the palace from time to time, and he has to wait for the next time, at least for a month. Now that she has entered the Daming Palace, it is even more impossible to go out of the palace to see him.
But until the end of the unitary time, seeing that the sky was getting dark, there was still nothing, Zheng Qiaoqiao's purse was soaked with sweat in the palm of his hand, and he was finally disappointed, and returned to Penglai Hall in despair.
When I entered, I saw a little palace maid and said: "Qiaoqiao, where have you been, just now Guo Yuma came, Aunt Fennel asked you to make tea, but I couldn't find you, and then she went to make it herself." ”
Zheng Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Is the horse still in the main hall?" ”
The little palace maid said: "It's dark, and Your Majesty just sent him back!" ”
Zheng Qiaoqiao hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "Do you know that the horse took that way out of the palace?" ”
The little palace maid was a little impatient and said, "Your Majesty ordered someone to send him back, how do I know which way to go?" You don't know where to hide, what are you going to do with the pony now! ”
Zheng Qiaoqiao realized that he was out of shape, and quickly let go of his hand, and asked in a good voice: "Good sister, I have something to ask the horse, how long has he been gone?" ”
The little palace maid glanced at her, and then said, "It's been a while, and I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm out of the palace." If you have any problems, you should ask Niang Niang and Aunt Fennel. ”
Zheng Qiaoqiao thanked the little palace maid, but she didn't see the fennel in the shadows, and the fennel sneer on her face.
There are always some people who do not measure their own strength, think they are wise, and they cannot do what they should do in peace, so they have to bring about their own destruction.
Zheng Qiaoqiao looked into the hall with some disbelief, and saw that the lights had been lit in the hall, and twelve pairs of red lanterns were hung under the eaves, and Guo Yan was probably really gone.
At this time, someone behind him said, "Zheng Qiaoqiao, what are you doing here?" ”
When I looked back, it turned out to be Yuzhu. Zheng Qiaoqiao hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "I...... Didn't do anything, just ...... Just to see if there's anything else in the hall to help with. ”
Yuzhu glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty has already come, do you want to help Niangniang sleep or what?" ”
Zheng Qiaoqiao hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and retreated in a puff of smoke, still hearing Yuzhu scolding behind his back, "Unruly little hooves, what are you frizzy!" ”
Back in the house, Zheng Qiaoqiao recalled today's events and slowly came up with many doubts.
She has asked several people, but it is the hour when the horse Su Ri entered the palace, and she also calculated in advance to go on that road, and even she had calculated the distance in advance, where she was going to be, and what distance appeared in Guo Yuma's sight was the most beautiful and moving.
Just waiting for him to appear, she saluted him, but pretended not to stand firmly, "accidentally" ripped off the purse he was wearing, and then "accidentally" stepped on it, so she would pay him her purse.
Then, she pretended to hurt her foot in a hurry, and coaxed him to send her back, and someone would surely see her on the way. As soon as she blows the wind again, soon the people in Daming Palace will know that Guo Yuma has a private relationship with a palace maid in Penglai Palace, and she will give and receive it privately.
When the time comes, the concubine and the Guo family will definitely reward her to Guo Juma for the sake of face.
But how could she be completely staggered from him and not even see each other?
Unless someone has done something to lead him down the other way.
So who could this man be?
Guo Yuma is also a cautious person, since he usually chooses that time to enter the palace at that time, he will definitely not easily listen to others and change his course.
Unless that person is the concubine herself.
Du Qiu also said yesterday that Niangniang would not be willing to let her serve the concubine, Niangniang didn't want her to see the concubine, of course she had the ability to make her not see.
But how did the mother know her thoughts?
Don't......
Du Qiu?
