Chapter 52: The Spring Dragon Festival
Back in Jingzhai, Mo Ying really saw the clothes sent by Yun Jieyu, and the materials were indeed excellent. There are three pieces in total, the pink one embroidered with chrysanthemums, the turquoise one embroidered with carp, and one with the crescent moon embroidered with the landscape.
"The carp embroidered on this dress is really vivid, and the color is also in line with the little master." Zhixing said as he walked through the turquoise box.
"It's good for me to look at that pink one, Zhixing will stay and serve, and everyone else will go out!" Fang Caizhixing didn't go out with her, and Mo Ying didn't have the convenience to say anything, so she sent everyone away.
Zhixing obviously still liked the blue one, looked at the pink, and said: "The slave maid thinks that the blue is better than this, and this pink pattern is not suitable for the little master." ”
Mo Ying didn't speak, he took the pink piece directly from the tray, stretched it out randomly, shook it, and looked at it carefully, sure enough, at the place of his right arm, there was a hard thing, and when he turned it over, there was a hidden bag inside, and a letter was contained in the hidden bag.
Zhixing was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this dress to be very good.
This letter is the one written by Ru Meiren to Mrs. Zuo Xiang.
After reading the letter, Mo Ying threw it on the table, pursed her lips in disgust, and said: "Ru Meiren is really unproductive, such a big person, if you are wronged, you will find her mother." ”
Zhixing is also literate, although there are not many, but the meaning of the letter is still clear.
"When did the little lord have a conflict with the Ru Meiren?" I haven't heard anything in the harem these days.
"Even a few days ago in Yanxiang Palace, it's not a conflict, it's just a few words against her."
"Then, this letter says that the house is ......"
"Don't worry, since Yun Jieyu showed me this letter, she must have made it properly, she is reminding me, you go to make some pastries that Yun Jieyu likes, send it with the letter, and say that I like the clothes very much."
"Little master, don't you go in person?"
"No need, it's not good to go, and tell Yun Jieyu, just say that I contradicted the second miss, and I will apologize in a few days, and I hope that Yun Jieyu will say a few kind words for me."
"Huh?" Zhixing couldn't react for a while.
"Just do as I say, you watch the hour, and wait for Yun Jieyu to go after her lunch break."
These days are too peaceful, calm is a little unreal, Mo Ying didn't think about what to do, but the emperor's mind is too elusive, and he is afraid that it will backfire if he does too much, so he just waits, Mo Ying is almost impatient, and the days of insecurity are really worrying.
Ru Meiren's letter, Yun Jieyu still sent it out, and it didn't matter, Mrs. Zuo Xiang received the letter, she sighed while feeling distressed, she didn't agree with her daughter to enter the palace, but her daughter was willful, she didn't accept Yun Zijin since she was a child, Yun Zijin entered the palace as the imperial concubine, if she wanted to surpass, she could only enter the palace, which man in the world can surpass the emperor? In addition, the emperor is good-looking, she has long been obsessed, and Xiangye is a single-minded power-hungry person, who only thinks that his daughter can consolidate his position when he enters the palace, how can he get his daughter's happiness?
It's only been a few days since I entered the palace and I wrote a letter to complain, and I don't know who I was looking for to send the letter, this letter was delivered to my own hands, maybe a few people have seen it! She shouldn't have been allowed to enter the palace in the first place, and Mrs. Zuo secretly regretted it.
A few days later, Mrs. Zuo Xiang excused herself to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, Ru Meiren happily sat in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and waited, an hour later, the mother did not come, but it was the old mother next to the Queen Mother.
"Madame is worried about the little master, but there are rules in this palace, Madame said, the little lord is the imperial concubine, he must serve the emperor and the queen mother well, take care of his body, these are the food that the little lord likes, and Madame specially brought it in!"
Ru Meiren was a little disappointed, and when she saw the food box, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded with a smile: "I'm tired of Mama, Biqiao." ”
Biqiao hurriedly took out a purse, and Mama happily took it, looking at the feel, there were two taels, and thanked him and left.
As soon as Mama left, Ru Meiren opened the food box, it was her favorite osmanthus cake, smelling this taste, it must have been made by her mother, picked up the osmanthus cake, quickly broke it, there was nothing in it, one, two, three...... All the osmanthus cakes were all broken, Ru Meiren was stupid, thinking of the words that Mama had come to say, a wave of anger surged in her heart, she flicked her sleeves fiercely, and all the things on the table fell to the ground.
The mother wants her to endure it, and the mother will not help her, she will definitely not.
Seeing that Ru Meiren was angry again, the palace people were all hiding outside the house, and every time the sound of falling things in the house sounded, everyone's hearts that were already tense in their throats seemed to jump out of the house again.
Although Mo Ying always thinks that he is in an empty country, but fortunately, the customs are very similar to ancient China, February 2, that is, everyone often says that the dragon raises its head, here is the Spring Dragon Festival, it is also a relatively big festival, this day, if in the folk, most of them will climb the mountain to worship the Buddha, pray for the new year.
Early in the morning, under the pretext of copying Buddhist scriptures for the emperor and queen mother, Mo Ying hid in the ancestral hall early, thinking that he could leave the palace today, Mo Ying has been excited for several days.
"Little master, the slave still won't go!" At first, she knew that the little master was going to take her with her this time, and Zhixing was happy for a while, but then she thought about it again, and there was no one in Jingzhai, so she was really not at ease.
"It's okay, I've explained everything to Liniang, and besides, don't you still want to go to see Granny Wang? Granny Wang will definitely go out today. ”
"But in case ......"
"Don't worry, Liniang will be fine, the emperor and the queen mother have gone to pray for blessings, let's just come back before they rush." Today is a rare good day, not only the weather is good, but the emperor and the queen mother are not there, I went to see Aunt Sun and Concubine Shu yesterday, and by the way, I said that I want to copy the Buddhist scriptures today, how can anyone look for her?
"In case Yun Jieyu ......"
"Don't worry, Yun Jieyu won't come in person, even if she sends someone over, she won't dare to break in!" Copying Buddhist scriptures to the emperor and the queen mother, who would dare to interrupt?
"......"
"Don't do it, it's getting dark, hurry up and change your clothes! Hurry up, hurry up! Mo Ying urged again and again, pushing her to change clothes behind the Buddha statue, and Zhixing sometimes shafted up, and she really couldn't be reasonable.
This time out of the palace, the streets are really a lot more lively, along the way, dragon dances, lion dances, and juggling, indirectly, the long queue seems to be headless.
There are also a lot more roadside stalls than usual, and most of them are nearby farmers, trying their best to sell their belongings.
"In the past, when incense was burned, Granny Wang took two people to go, and we went to wait near the temple, and if there was a chance, we would go and meet Granny Wang." Mrs. Mo is not in good health, and she rarely goes out on weekdays, if there is only Granny Wang, it is okay to let Zhixing see her.
"What if Granny Wang asks us how we got out?"
"It's not us, it's you," Mo Ying pointed to Zhixing, "You just said that Yun Jieyu asked the palace maid to go out of the palace to buy things, and you spent the money, so the palace maid gave you the opportunity, and I can't mention the matter of my appearance, and remember to tell Granny Wang, you can't let her tell the family." ”
Zhixing nodded and said, "Little master...... Oh, no, don't worry, Miss, I will definitely ask Miss about everything at home, so that Miss won't worry. ”
