Chapter 150: The Empress Summons
Ding Shi looked at her departing back, he wanted to step forward and ask, but the outstretched hand was suspended in the air again, forget it, he is just her friend now, too much care, but it is easy to show his feet, even if she really has something, she doesn't have to tell herself if she doesn't want to say it.
It was night, the moonlight outside the window spilled in through the bright paper, the room was bright, like day, Jiang Yingli lay quietly on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
In her sleep, she seemed to see Qiu Muyun, she couldn't believe it, so she shouted his name loudly, hoping that he would be able to look back at herself, but Qiu Muyun didn't seem to hear it at all, suddenly, she came to the village where he lived before, and it was also such a night, she seemed to see a figure flashing outside the house where they used to live.
She had an ominous premonition in her heart, and when she was about to push the door in, the shadows of two people were projected on the window, and she clearly saw that Mu Yun had been assassinated by a masked man dressed in black.
She ran madly into the house, but when she entered, Qiu Muyun was already lying in a pool of blood, she slowly walked over and touched his body, and a biting coldness instantly made her retract her hand.
"No, Qiu Muyun, you don't want to die, don't die, Qiu Muyun doesn't want to! Don't leave me, open your eyes and look at me, Mu Yun! A shrill cry startled away the birds on the eaves, Jing'er was awakened by her voice, and quickly ran in, "Miss, are you alright?" She hurried to check if there was anything in the house.
Jiang Yingli looked around, only to realize that he was dreaming just now, and his body was already shocked into a cold sweat, sticking to his back, cold.
Faced with Jing'er's concern, she shook her head: "It's okay, it's just a nightmare." ”
Jing'er asked again uneasily, but Jiang Yingli said in a daze: "I also forgot what I dreamed of, but I vaguely remember that I was scared, it seemed that someone was chasing and killing me, so I woke up in fright." ”
Seeing this, Jing'er didn't ask any more.
The Hou Ye is always very busy these days, he has to enter the palace to meet the emperor in the morning, and he has to manage some problems in the capital recently at noon, and he comes back very late every day, so Mrs. Hou postponed the meal according to the situation.
Night had fallen, and Madam Chen, who was beside her wife, came to pass the word and asked Jiang Yingli to come over for a meal, thinking that she hadn't eaten with An Pinghou for a few days.
When she came to the room, she heard An Pinghou talking about "Qingming Riverside Picture", Jiang Yingli didn't ask anything, just sat down quietly and prepared to eat.
Seeing that An Pinghou and Mrs. Hou were chatting happily, she took the initiative to serve dinner to the two.
Suddenly, Master Hou turned his head and asked her, "Li'er, I heard your Mrs. Hou say that the "Qingming Riverside Picture" was made by you, is this true?" ”
Jiang Yingli nodded, not knowing why An Pinghou suddenly mentioned this matter.
At this time, Mrs. Hou spoke, and she said with a smile: "Your father said that the emperor likes that embroidery very much recently, and often praises it, our fence is really amazing!"
Jiang Yingli shook her head modestly, "Where, Li'er is just doing her best, and now that embroidery has won the emperor's appreciation, it is also her daughter's blessing and luck!" ”
Hou Ye took a bite of food and said with a smile: "Yes! This is not only a blessing for you, but also a blessing for me and your mother! "Lord Hou is full of joy, the sixth prince is the child of Mrs. Sister's sister, that is, Ben Hou's aunt and nephew, if it weren't for the fence this time, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't be able to let him go easily.
He continued: "You know what? Because of your embroidery, the emperor is very happy, and he is also very fond of the six princes, and recently I heard people in the palace say that the emperor always goes to the six princes to talk about learning together. ”
Madame didn't expect this child to have such great ability, not only let the emperor lift the Yunchuan captivity, but also won favor again, she took Jiang Yingliang's hand, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in front of her.
"You eat more, some time ago because Yunchuan was so busy with things, I fell ill, these days my mother asked the chef in the house to cook more delicious food for you, eat whatever you want."
An Pinghou felt more and more how good and capable his righteous daughter was, and he regarded her more and more as his own child, and Mrs. Hou had long regarded her as her own daughter.
The three of them were eating dinner with laughter and laughter, even if there were some uncomfortable things recently, she had forgotten about it at this moment.
After dinner, Jiang Yingli walked in the yard with Jing'er's support. Jing'er quipped: "Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou really like Miss Zhenzhen very much, every time Miss and Mrs. Hou finish eating together, they can't walk after eating, Miss is really happy!"
A maid like Jing'er is naturally envious of a person like Jiang Yingli who has no worries about food and clothing, but they don't know that Jiang Yingli also envies them sometimes.
"Yes! My father and mother treat me so well, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in my life! The two walked as they spoke, and after a while they walked back to their room.
In recent days, Jiang Yingli has only been to the embroidery shop once, and he only stayed for an hour or so, and the rest of the time he stayed in the Hou Mansion, and he couldn't help but embroider something, and occasionally he was tired and bored and sat in the garden to feel the quiet of this rare time.
On this day, Jing'er looked a little wrong after returning from Mrs. Hou, and after careful questioning, she learned that the queen wanted to summon her into the palace.
"Summoning me to the palace? Why is that? She was puzzled, she had nothing to do with the queen, and the palace was like a tiger's den in Longtan, dangerous!
Jing'er also looked worried, and said truthfully: "When I came out of the back garden just now, I accidentally saw someone coming from the palace, and I saw that person said to Mrs., let Miss you enter the palace in three days." ”
Jiang Yingli couldn't help but wonder a little, since it was an order, why didn't he look for her as a client, but only tell Mrs. Hou?
"I heard that the queen didn't know where to know that the embroidery came from the Yingshan embroidery shop, so I wanted to meet the exquisite embroiderer."
"What!"
Since this is the case, Jiang Yingli understands why the queen didn't look for her directly, but she can't help but be a little worried.
Just when she didn't know what to do, Mrs. Hou came over, and seeing that her face was not very good, she more or less guessed that Jiang Yingli already knew about it.
They all knew that the queen mother was using the "Qingming Riverside Map" to make trouble for the six princes, but they didn't expect this matter to be solved by an embroidery girl, can she feel good?
"Li'er, why don't you talk to your father and let him go back, just say that you have been sick in bed recently, you are unwell, you can't go out, let alone enter the palace, just say that you are worried that you will be sick to a certain master in the palace when you enter the palace, and your father can still speak in front of the emperor now."
Madame didn't know what to do, she tried to prevent her daughter from entering the palace, because she didn't know what would happen to her.
But Jiang Yingli knew that it was imperative to enter the palace this time, if she didn't go, she would be disobeying the order, and besides, let Anpinghou go to the emperor for her, I was afraid that the queen would not let Anpinghou's family go if she knew.
"This can't be decided, you can avoid this time, but what about the next time? This is not the way after all, don't worry, the fence will protect herself. She took Madame's hand and found her hand trembling slightly.
