17, fragrant tassels
Yun Qingyuan looked at his palm, which was holding a green satin incense tassel, and the butterflies on it seemed to be about to fly. Does this seem to be the one Tao Zhiyuan gave to herself? She touched her waist, and sure enough, it was gone.
"Back to the emperor, it's a concubine." Yun Qingyuan's voice trembled.
"When I went down to court just now, I saw a fragrant tassel on the snow outside your palace gate, so I picked it up." Yunyi's slender fingers caressed the incense, "This butterfly is very delicately embroidered, did you embroider it?" ”
"No, it's the concubine's ......" Yun Qingyuan was stunned, remembering that Tao Zhiyuan didn't want to be favored, so she said: "It was the concubine's mother who made it for the concubine." ”
"Your mother has a pair of skillful hands, and the master can't embroider such butterflies." He was a little regretful, "By the way, I seem to have seen a lotus flower picture before, which is a must, but I don't remember where I saw it, Su Yan, do you remember?" ”
Su Yan lowered his head and replied: "The slave is old and has a bad brain, so he doesn't remember." ”
Yun Qingyuan remembered that it was the lotus picture embroidered by Tao Zhiyuan when she was training as a show girl, and the emperor asked her name at that time, but she forgot it as soon as she turned around. She had to smile bitterly in her heart, there are so many beautiful women in the harem, which one can tie the emperor's heart?
Yun Yi was a little disappointed, staring at Xiangying for a while, his eyes were a little infatuated, he handed Xiangying to Su Yan, and said, "Take it to the Si Zhi room, let Tan Si Ji study it, and embroider an auspicious cloud pattern for me with this stitching." ”
"Yes." Su Yan took the incense.
"Your Majesty, this is the concubine's incense." Yun Qingyuan rushed out a sentence, but after saying it, she felt disrespectful to the emperor, and said, "This fragrant tassel means a lot to the concubines, I hope the emperor can understand." ”
"Oh? I will reward you with the pearls of the East China Sea, and then you will be a beauty, only for this incense, how about it? Yun Yi's face was as usual, and there was no expression in it.
Yun Qingyuan was slightly stunned, but quickly embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want anything, she just wants this fragrant silk back." ”
"Your Majesty, it's better to summon Yuncairen's mother to Beijing and make one for the emperor in person, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." Su Yan saw that the two did not give in to each other, no matter how good-tempered the emperor was, he couldn't bear to be angry, so he dared to make a suggestion.
Yun Yi also felt that this suggestion was very good, so he nodded and said, "Su Yan, you have to handle this matter properly." ”
Yun Qingyuan's expression changed sharply, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "My mother is not in good health, but I am afraid that I will not be able to endure the fatigue of the boat." ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work! How daring! Yun Yi's eyebrows jumped, his voice froze, and Huo Di stood up.
Su Yan and Ji Xiang knelt on the ground in fright, Ji Xiang was still holding the clothes that Tao Zhiyuan gave to Yun Qingyuan in his hand, looking at the embroidery on it, he knew that it was the same embroidery method as the incense, and he didn't know whether to say it or not at the moment.
Yun Qingyuan had never seen him angry, and his body trembled at the moment, and he immediately bowed his head.
"You say, which one do you choose?" Yun Yi glanced at her, and couldn't help but feel compassion, so he softened his tone.
Although the weather was cold, cold sweat had already broken out on Yun Qingyuan's back, and her knees were also painful, and the cold continued to rush from her knees to her body, making her extremely cold.
If you give Xiangying, you will be sorry for Tao Zhiyuan's affection for herself, and if you bring your mother to the capital, I am afraid that your lies will be self-defeating.
She couldn't grasp the idea in her heart, and she refused to answer for a long time.
Yun Yi glanced at her, and there was a chill in his words: "What? Do you have to think about such a small thing for so long? Even you, a little talent, don't take me seriously?! ”
Yun Qingyuan was startled, her head was blank, and she only said in horror: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine doesn't mean that." ”
"What does that mean? No one listens to what I say in the court, and no one listens to what I say in the harem?! Yun Yi's face was full of anger, and his eyes were cold.
"Your Majesty......," Yun Qingyuan's voice choked, "The concubine doesn't mean to be disrespectful, it's just that the incense is pinned on the concubine's thoughts about her mother, and the concubine is reluctant." The mother worked hard for the concubine all her life, and the concubine couldn't bear to let her work. ”
"Well, you have so many excuses for a small request of mine! What's the difference between you and the officials of the imperial court?! It's the same with a lot of excuses to shirk! Yun Yi listened to her words, and became even more annoyed, and released all the unhappiness of today's court.
Yun Qingyuan didn't expect her words to anger Yun Yi even more, in her memory, the emperor was as gentle as jade, his expression was always faint, he couldn't see joy and sorrow, and he wouldn't be angry.
Her eyes were red, and she didn't know what to say.
"Su Yan, pass on my will, except for the Yun clan's talented position, and send him to the violent room on the same day!" Yunyi's words are cold and sonorous.
"The emperor is angry! The concubine didn't disrespect the emperor......" Yun Qingyuan shouted in horror, tears couldn't help but flow, and the powder and tears were a mess.
Ji Xiang knew what kind of place the violent room was, it was a ghost place where hard labor was held, and once he entered, within a few days, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive. Ji Xiang was also so shocked that she put down her clothes, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The emperor spared the mother, in fact, ......"
"Ji Xiang!" Yun Qingyuan was afraid that she would say it, and at that time, it would not only affect Tao Zhiyuan, but also the crime of bullying the king, "My sin is unforgivable, you don't have to intercede for me." ”
Ji Xiang stopped kowtowing, biting her lip and no longer speaking.
"Your Majesty, Yuncai people also love their mothers, and the emperor will open up his filial piety in Yuncairen." Su Yan bowed his head and pleaded.
Yun Yi's face softened, calmed down, and said, "Okay, you copy a Buddhist scripture every day, and you can't go out of the Cloud Pavilion without my order, I don't want to see you again." ”
"Thank you for your grace." Yun Qingyuan's heart was raining silently, this sentence reprimanded her heart!
Once the man in front of her was still holding himself in the palm of his hand, making herself feel happy, it turned out that she had been on the verge of pain.
Yun Yi didn't look at her again, and was about to walk out of the inner hall, Su Yan immediately got up and followed when he saw this, Yun Yi looked back and saw the incense that Su Yan was about to put back on the table, he snorted coldly, and then turned around and went back to grab the incense and threw it on the ground.
"Why don't I give me what I like?" After speaking, he left Xiyun Pavilion.
Yun Qingyuan was still kneeling on the ground, although she was on the carpet, she still felt cold.
"...... Hurry up, or you'll get cold in a moment. Ji Xiang came over and wanted to help Yun Qingyuan up, Yun Qingyuan pushed her away, stared at the fragrant tassel in front of her, and suddenly cried bitterly.
"He said he didn't want to see me again! He doesn't want to see me again! Yun Qingyuan lost her previous gentleness and hugged her head and cried.
She was so stupid that she delusionally thought he would treat her like a folk couple.
As if she had gone crazy, she crawled over and picked up the blue dress, and she thought that she could win his favor again at the family banquet, but now it seems that it is a luxury!
She wanted to tear her clothes, but she couldn't tear them, and tears fell on her clothes, which was Tao Zhiyuan's heart for herself.
"Niangniang, when the emperor is angry, everything will be fine." Ji Xiang looked at the abnormal Yun Qingyuan, and her heart was painful and anxious.
She shook her head lightly, and her voice was long: "I can't live if I do my own evil, I brought it on myself." ”
Like other women, she wants to wear a red wedding dress to marry a man she can trust for life, but unfortunately, after she is a eunuch, she must enter the palace.
She can't deny that it was selfish to let Tao Zhiyuan enter the palace instead, but it was not the glory and wealth in the palace, but the joy of her parents' old age.
This is God's arrangement, and she can't complain about anyone.
