In less than three moments, Cining Palace suddenly sent a message to Su Yi to see the Queen Mother, although the person did not explain the reason, Su Yi had already guessed a few points, presumably because of the hand injury of the Long Live Lord, I only felt uneasy in my heart, and I went to Cining Palace with the little eunuch who passed the decree in fear.

Hongli dispersed the state banquet, returned to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, changed into regular clothes, and lay down on the soft couch to rest. After a while, Wu Shulai led the imperial doctor to change the dressing, looking at the injured hand, a frightened and frightened little face suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he saw that the person who came to deliver the tea was Qiu Ruo, he asked, "What about Suyi?" ”

Wu Shulai replied respectfully, "Back to Long Live Lord, Su Yi went to Cining Palace. ”

Hongli sat up abruptly and said in a condensed voice, "Who let her go?" ”

Wu Shulai snorted, thinking that it was naturally summoned by the Queen Mother, and was about to answer, Hongli asked again, "When did you go?" Wu Shulai breathed a sigh of relief, "The summons from the Queen Mother's side came to pass on, and it hasn't been long since I went, and I'm afraid that I haven't arrived at Cining Palace yet." ”

Hongli's eyes suddenly darkened, like a quiet beach under a quiet night, cold and silent.

Su Yi followed Laifu out of the Heart Cultivation Hall to Cining Palace, and didn't say a word along the way, only feeling ridiculous and pathetic and lamentable, seeing that the palace gate of Cining Palace was in front of him, he suddenly heard an eager voice behind him, Su Yi turned around and saw Wu Shulai leading Xiao Liuzi over in a hurry, hurriedly stopped, and asked, "Father-in-law Wu is in trouble?" ”

Wu Shulai saw the vigilance on Laifu's face, so he glanced at Xiao Liuzi, Xiao Liuzi walked up smartly, and Laifu was almost, Wu Shulai took Su Yi a few steps apart, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother summoned you most likely because of the injury of the Long Live Master's hand, you don't have to say much when you see the Queen Mother later, you will answer whatever she asks, and you must not say much if she doesn't ask." ”

Su Yi was grateful, nodded, and said, "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, the slave knows." ”

"Long live Lord's hand is not injured because of you, he was drunk and broke the teacup by mistake, and it has nothing to do with you." Wu Shulai said again.

Su Yi looked at Wu Shulai in surprise and muttered, "But ......"

"No, but!" Wu Shulai said sharply, "You just do what I say, remember not to talk nonsense, the most taboo in this deep palace is to say more, how many people have lost their lives because of this, if you say more, you will be more dangerous." ”

Su Yi realized that he was in the palace, and the person he was going to see was the Queen Mother, who held the lives of thousands of people, and couldn't help but show a mocking smile, Wu Shulai said again, "There is a long live lord in everything, don't worry, you just go." ”

Su Yi was stunned, the little six sons over there had already come over, and Laifu began to call her from afar, and Su Yi had to chase after her in a hurry. But she was still thinking about Wu Shulai's words, was the emperor helping her?

Entered the Cining Palace, Laifu went to reply, Su Yi stood anxiously outside the warm pavilion, faintly heard a slight sound in the warm pavilion, and saw a maroon cotton robe walked out, Su Yi was busy owing a debt, the old lady led her into the warm pavilion, only to see the queen mother wearing a rouge gold flower makeup embroidered Fushou jacket, the head inserted a golden phoenix soaring, and embellished with a few pieces of pure pearl emerald, white and tender hands wearing two three inches long gold inlaid jade armor is sitting on the kang resting, dignified eyebrows, looks quite young, But faintly full of majesty, Su Yi hurriedly leaned over and made a big salute, saying, "Slave Su Yi asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother was blessed with Jin'an." ”

Su Yi waited for a while, but she didn't hear the Queen Mother speak, so she had to bow her head and kneel, and suddenly heard the Queen Mother ask: "You were the one who served the emperor last night?" ”

Su Yi suddenly became nervous and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"What's the matter with the Emperor's hand?"

Sure enough, because of this matter, Su Yi hesitated to say what Wu Shulai explained, word by word. After finishing speaking, cold sweat had already appeared in the palms of his hands, wet and cold, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his hands, but he didn't dare to show it, so he just waited anxiously for the Queen Mother to speak.

I only heard the Queen Mother say, "Get up." ”

Su Yi slowly stood up at this time, and the Queen Mother said, "You should know that today is the first day of the new year, and you must know how many things the emperor has to do personally from today onwards." But there was such a big thing last night, you are the palace maid on duty, but you made such a mistake, how do you say the mourning family should punish you? ”

Su Yi was shocked, hurriedly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave deserves death." But with the Queen Mother's disposal. ”

The Queen Mother's voice softened a little, and said: "You don't have to be afraid of being like this, the mourners of the New Year don't want to touch such a moldy head, you go to the Punishment Division......"

"The emperor drove to the ......" The voice of a small eunuch suddenly came from outside.

Su Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and for some reason, a hanging heart suddenly settled down again.

Then I heard a rush of footsteps, a bright yellow corner of my clothes appeared in front of me, and a warm voice sounded above my head: "Say hello to the emperor." ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "There are so many things ahead, why did you come over?" ”

The emperor looked at Su Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, walked to the Queen Mother and sat down, and said, "I heard that the emperor's lunch is not very good, and the ministers came to take a look, but the emperor's mother is not feeling well?" Can you call the imperial doctor? ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "It's just that you can't eat greasy things, and your appetite is not very good, so it's not in the way." ”

The emperor bowed his head, his eyes fell on Su Yi, and he raised his voice and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Suyi, why are you here?"

Su Yi didn't know how to answer, and after hesitating, she heard the Queen Mother say: "It was the mourning family who passed her on, but she just asked a few words, and now that the words are finished, you go down!" ”

Su Yiru was pardoned, and knelt down and walked out of the warm pavilion.

When I returned to the room, I felt weak and weak, and I just held on to the present in one breath, and I couldn't bear it anymore and fell softly on the bed, but when I arrived at the unitary time, Wu Shulai came, and saw Su Yi with a haggard face, her eyes were red, and she sighed long, and seemed to be extremely unbearable to say: "Su Yi, I have always thought that you are smart and dexterous, why are you confused at this time?" ”

Su Yi lowered his eyes and said, "The slave doesn't understand what my father-in-law means. ”

"You understand." Wu Shulai thought about it and saw that Qiu Ruoyun Rou was in the house, and it was difficult to say, "Long live Lord went to Xianfu Palace today, so you don't have to go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to serve." ”

Su Yi owed a debt and said, "Father-in-law Xie reminds." ”

Wu Shulai shook his head and walked out of the room with a stunned expression.

Xiao Liuzi came out of the garden with Wu Shulai, and asked the doubts in his heart: "Master, why do I see you talking strangely to Su Yi?" "Ever since last night, he felt strange, as if something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

Wu Shulai stopped, and said to Xiao Liuzi with a solemn face: "Su Yi's name, don't call it again in the future, although some people are minions in the clear, their identities are much more noble than ours." In this palace, you must know what to say and what not to say, who should flatter, who should not stutter, and if you have nothing to do in the future, walk around with Su Yi more, it will always be good for you. ”

Although Xiao Liuzi is not smart, he is not stupid, and when he heard Wu Shulai say this, he already knew in his heart that Su Yi was only afraid that he would be one level higher than them.

Who knows the cold friends in front of him, only the plum blossoms are lonely. The bright moon is full of water all over the sky, and the wine wakes up and listens to the jade flute.

The vermilion door is open, the forehead of the door is two extremely free and easy ink words "Gu Fu", the door is pasted with a pair of four-foot high door gods, the brick carved shadow wall is pasted with a big "Fu" word, through the shadow wall is a weeping lotus-type hanging flower door, the screen door is closed, the red plum blossoms in the courtyard are open, cold and arrogant, a faint plum blossom fragrance ripples out.

At this time, everyone in the Gu Mansion knelt in the main hall of the front yard to receive the rewards in the palace, and a group of palace people presented the rewarded objects one by one, Gu Yanting condensed the ground with a little uncomfortable smile, Gu Yanzhao was bleak, but Mrs. Gu's eyebrows and eyes were open, and she looked very happy, she asked the maid to take a few ingots of silver and wrap them with a lotus tied with a colored rope to the leading eunuchs, and the eunuchs left contentedly after receiving the reward. Gu Yanting sat on the right seat in the hall when he saw the palace people leaving, sighed and said, "I really don't know if there is a concubine in the family, whether it is a bad thing or a good thing?" ”

"It's rare for Xuanzhu to compete for anger, let's just get my brother's light, which is naturally a good thing." Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

Turning around, he saw that Gu Yanzhao was about to go out, so he called: "Your cousin Fang has rewarded some things, and you don't look at it, where is this going?" ”

It turned out that Gu Yanting's so-called concubine was Gu Yanzhao's cousin Jin Xuanzhu, Jin Xuanzhu's father was Shangxi Yuan Qing Sanbao, who was Mrs. Gu's maiden brother, and he came over with some things because of the Chinese New Year.

Gu Yanzhao didn't look back, but said, "It's just some dead things, don't look at it." ”

Mrs. Gu was unhappy in her heart and was about to call him, but when she saw that he had already gone away, she only said slowly: "I am becoming more and more unclear about what Zhao'er is thinking in her heart. ”

Gu Yanting said: "What else can I think, naturally I am thinking about the palace." Since that young lady of the Shen family entered the palace, when have you seen him happy? ”

"Master, Zhao'er is twenty-three years old this year, and many of his children have got married and had children at his age, do you really let him wait for Shen Suyi all the time?" Mrs. Gu said worriedly.

"Alas...... Why would I like to? It's just that Shen Weizhong is such a daughter, I really can't watch his daughter suffer. Gu Yanting couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of his former best friend.

Gu Yanzhao passed through the weeping flower gate, and then passed through the verandah, and entered a garden, in which there was an attic, which was the Tingyu Building.

At that time, it was a cold winter, two white plum blossoms were planted in the yard, blooming faintly, the white and bright stamens, the fragrant fragrance of the flowers came to the face, Gu Yanzhao walked into the house, there was a good rice paper on the bookcase, next to it was the ink that Zhixiang had just crushed, he was going to write with a pen to paint, but at this time he was not in the mood, and he wrote on it: I will not be lovesick in my life, I will be lovesick, and I will be lovesick. The body is like a floating cloud, the heart is like a flying flocculent, and the air is like a gossamer. A wisp of incense is here, looking forward to the daughter of the wanderer. When did the signs come? When the light is half dim, when the moon is half bright.

The huge courtyard, the dark fragrance floats, silent, but makes people feel lonely and lonely, today is only the second day of the Lunar New Year, there is a faint sound of firecrackers outside every house, but he feels very lonely. Raise your eyes to see the white plum calyx in front of the window, cold and confusing, so I took the pen and changed a piece of rice paper to write a line of elegant and moist small seals: two or three plum blossoms on the branches, there is no red on the ground, the dark fragrance is sultry, and the wind blows to the side of the deceased.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the snow beads fell on the rice paper with a few white petals, the house burned charcoal, it was very warm, the snow beads fell on the white rice paper and turned into water droplets and seeped into the paper, Zhixiang came from the compartment, walked to the window and closed the window, and said with a smile: "The sky is gloomy early in the morning, and this heavy snow can be regarded as coming down." Childe, do you feel cold? ”

Gu Yanzhao shook his head and said, "How many bluegrass plants outside can be moved to the house?" ”

Zhixiang smiled playfully: "That's nature." A pot of Mo Lan upstairs has just opened, can the son go and take a look? It's fragrant......"

Gu Yanzhao bowed his head and said, "Well, go and take a look." ”
