Twenty-sixth Imperial Servant
In August of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng collapsed, and the whole country mourned.
Prince Hongli, the fourth son, succeeded to the throne and changed his name to Qianlong.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the palace maids and eunuchs who waited in front of the emperor changed a lot, and Su Yi and Qiu Ruo were also selected to serve in the Palace of Heart Cultivation and served closely.
Su Yi was happy and uneasy in her heart, happy that she could often see Gu Yanzhao when she waited in front of the emperor, and the uneasy thing was that the person waiting was the emperor, the fourth elder brother Hongli was originally imposing, and now that he is the emperor, he is naturally more majestic and intimidating.
But her apprehension slowly disappeared with the passage of time.
Although Su Yi is serving in the Heart Cultivation Palace, she really doesn't have to worry too much, there are many palace maids and eunuchs in front of the emperor, and she is only one of them. She didn't need her for many things at all, saying that she was serving in front of the emperor, but in fact, she was just making tea and doing some chores in the back, she had been in the Heart Cultivation Palace for a few months, but she had only seen the emperor a handful of times, let alone Gu Yanzhao.
Summer goes to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, it is the season of the year when the maple leaves are scattered.
The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, and the grass and trees shake and fall into frost.
Outside the window, a light rain fell in a fluttering manner, and the last of the magnolia flowers swayed in the wind, and finally was swept to the ground by the rapid autumn wind.
"I don't feel like it's raining, but this rain feels like the weather is getting cooler." A gentle and delicate voice sounded.
I saw that the woman was wearing a grass-green moire robe, a goose-egg-like delicate cheeks, her appearance was delicate and gentle, and the corners of the woman's lips were slightly raised, provoking a smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"Yes, Qiuruo, an autumn rain and a cold, all the magnolia flowers have fallen." Su Yi smiled and called the woman's name.
"Qiuruo." A crisp voice came.
Then I saw a delicate figure running over.
"Yunrou, what are you doing in a hurry?" Qiu Ruo frowned.
"Suyi." The delicate woman wore the same palace dress as them, but her face was immature, and her red face was extremely cute.
"Is something wrong?" Su Yi asked.
"The little sixth son in front of Gonggong Wu said that the emperor somehow lost his temper in the Qianqing Palace, so let's be careful when we serve tea later." Yun Rou finished speaking in one breath and began to gasp for breath.
Qiu Ruo was stunned, the kettle in his hand shook slightly, and the back of his white hand immediately turned red.
"Qiu Ruo, are you okay?" Su Yi hurriedly took a cold cloth and put it on her.
"Out of the way." Qiu Ruo raised the back of his hand, fortunately the water did not spill out, but was scalded by the kettle.
Su Yi poured the tea and put it on the tray again, and then handed it to Qiu Ruo.
"Qiu Ruo, hurry up!" Yun Rou pulled Qiuruo's sleeve.
Qiu Ruo looked embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid." ”
"What are you afraid of?" Su Yi asked.
"I'm afraid of long live the lord...... Suyi, will you go for me? Qiu Ruo tugged at Su Yi's sleeve and begged.
"This is your job, others can't help you, and Banzai won't lose his temper with you for no reason, you be careful, just do your part." Su Yi was comforted.
Qiu Ruo pursed her lips, but still cautiously walked out through the tray.
But after a while, the chief eunuch Wu Shu came over, but Qiu Ruo didn't come back, Su Yi was about to ask but heard Wu Shu say: "Something happened to Qiu Ruo, Su Yi, you can change another cup of tea and send it to Wan Sui Ye!" ”
Su Yi hurriedly changed to a new tea, and seeing Wu Shulai's gloomy face, he didn't dare to ask, but he was worried about Qiu Ruo, so he still asked: "What happened to Qiu Ruo?" ”
"She broke the teacup and almost burned it to the long live lord, fortunately, the long live lord did not pursue it, don't ask, send the tea first, long live the lord is in a bad mood today, if something goes wrong again, don't say that you even have to follow me to the funeral!" Wu Shu's voice rose as he spoke.
Su Yi didn't dare to say anything, but her heart was constantly agitating, and she was not responsible for delivering tea and water, and since the emperor ascended the throne, she had only seen him a few times in the crowd from afar.
Su Yi hung her head, held the tray, cautiously, and followed Wu Shulai into the Heart Cultivation Hall step by step. Passing through the main hall and entering the Xinuan Pavilion on the west side of the bright room, Su Yi felt a condensed atmosphere as soon as he entered the room, and a huge sense of oppression followed.
I saw that the emperor was wearing a bright yellow satin embroidered multicolored cloud bat golden dragon twelve-chapter robe, and was sitting in front of the dragon case to make folds, because he lowered his head, so Su Yi did not see his expression, but there was a pool of undried water stains on the vermilion dark carpet in front of the dragon case, I think Qiu Ruofang accidentally overturned it.
Wu Shulai stood at the column, bent down obediently, Su Yi felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and he couldn't help but get nervous, and walked slowly and cautiously to the emperor, and gently put the tea on the dragon book case.
The emperor just looked down at the excerpt, and didn't care, Su Yi took a few steps back, and was about to withdraw after a salute, looking up at Wu Shulai's eyes, I saw that he shook his head to himself, Su Yi was uneasy but had to wait quietly.
I don't know how long it took, Su Yi felt that her back was sore, and her palms were drenched with sweat, but the person on the dragon case did not respond at all, and the blue and white porcelain cup lay there quietly and did not move.
Suddenly, he put one hand on the porcelain cup, gently held it up and put it to his lips and took a sip lightly, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, Su Yi was startled, and the uneasiness in his heart became strong again, Wu Shulai, who was standing on the side, immediately walked up and said respectfully: "Do you want the slave to change the cup again?" ”
"No need, go down!" The emperor said lightly, his voice was as flat as water, without anger or joy.
Wu Shulai saluted, then waved his hand and motioned for the palace people to go out.
Su Yi followed everyone out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. When I spread out my palms, I saw that my palms were as white as jade and full of sweat.
When I saw Qiu Ruo, I realized that she accidentally knocked over the cup because she was too nervous, but fortunately she didn't hurt Wan Sui Ye but just splashed some Wan Sui Ye's sleeves, and fortunately Wan Sui Ye didn't get angry, but only waved her hand to let her go down, but Qiu Ruo felt like a tiger out of her mouth, like being amnesty.
Autumn is high and cool, and the wind is smooth.
Rao is already late autumn, and the imperial garden is still green, with staggered flowers and trees, full of vitality.
Inside the Imperial Garden, Chiaki Pavilion.
Since that day to bring water for Qiu Ruo, Su Yi was transferred by Wu Shulai to wait in front of the palace. On this day, the weather was excellent, the emperor and people played chess in the imperial garden, and Su Yi was ordered to take an ink-colored cloak and give it to the emperor.
Walking slowly along the Huashiziyong Road, I saw the Qianqiu Pavilion surrounded by everyone from a distance. Qianqiu Pavilion is a square pavilion with heavy eaves, with an umbrella-shaped pointed dome on it, and it comes out of the building on all sides, forming twelve corners. Next to the pavilion is a pool of clear water with dark yellow lotus leaves and swimming goldfish.
The garden scenery is excellent, but Su Yi didn't have time to look at it, so he hurriedly took the cloak and slowly walked to the Qianqiu Pavilion.
The emperor wore a robe with a dragon pattern embroidered with a black chess piece in his hand, because it was facing Su Yi, so Su Yi saw his indifferent expression, and the other person was facing away from him, so Su Yi did not see it, but only saw a back in a purple embroidered python with five-color cloud patterns, but the figure felt a little familiar. Su Yi walked to the bottom of the steps under the pavilion and stood there vividly, Wu Shulai immediately walked in front of Su Yi and took the cloak, but suddenly heard a hearty voice sound: "Your Majesty, my brother has lost to you again!" ”
Su Yi trembled slightly, but saw that the emperor and the man stood up, Wu Shulai hurriedly took the cloak and put it on the emperor's body, only to hear the emperor say: "You can do your best?" ”
The man smiled: "This is nature, how dare you deceive the emperor?" As he spoke, the man turned around, Su Yi's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stood aside.
The smile in Hongday's eyes gradually faded, and he changed to a stiff expression, but the thoughts in his eyes overflowed uncontrollably.
He never thought that he would see her in such a scene, she was wearing a grass-green palace dress, hanging her head, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but Hongtian knew that she must be extremely deferential, and there might be indifference and alienation in her eyes, it seemed that every time she saw her, she was like this and never changed. It seems that after the Shangyuan Festival, this is the first time I have seen her, and when I saw her, the pain and remorse in my heart came up again, she never knew why she married Xing'er, and even he didn't know why he would treat Xing'er as hers. He drank a lot of wine that night, went to her house and waited for her, but waited for Apricot, but when he was drunk, he took Apricot for her...... Afterwards, Xing'er said that she was pregnant, and he had no choice but to accept Xing'er as a side blessing, but the person he had always wanted to marry in the deepest part of his heart was her!
The emperor obviously noticed the difference between Hongyang, and he followed Hongday's gaze to see Su Yi, only to see her standing there motionless with her head down, deferential and gentle. His eyes sank slightly, and he said, "I heard that your side Fujin is about to give birth?" ”
Hongyang was stunned and showed a wry smile: "Yes." ”
Obviously, seeing Su Yi's body trembling slightly, Hongtian actually felt a little happy in her heart, did she care about him?
"Then you have to take care of it, I heard that pregnant women like to eat sour things, Sichuan recently paid some lemons, and the son of the party asked the Internal Affairs Office to prepare some for you!" The Emperor said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hongyang saluted, bowed and retreated, and when he reached Su Yi's side, he glanced at her a few more times, and finally let out a long sigh and walked slowly along the stone road.
