5. Mandarin ducks in the old days
Mandarin Duck seems to be a sarcasm for her, but also her expectation.
Warm tears slid down the cheeks, dripping onto the mandarin duck's feathers and melting.
This period of time and a line contains a trace of love, but it is a pity that memories have erased these loves.
As it darkened, she lit a candle and listened to the chirping of cicadas outside the hall, still embroidering carefully.
After the last needle was pricked, the pair of mandarin ducks really had spirituality, so that she really felt that "only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals", she caressed the mandarin ducks with her jade fingers, and her heart was stinging at this moment.
At this time, only a sound of footsteps was heard, Tao Zhiyuan was immediately startled, looked at the sky, the stars were twinkling, it turned out to be so late.
She immediately blew out the candles and hid behind a screen.
Yun Yi immediately walked in, Su Yan had already lit a lot of candles, and the entire main hall was as bright as day.
In the gap, I saw Yun Yi wearing a crimson robe, looking a little tired.
"Your Majesty, it's better to turn over the cards tonight." Su Yan asked cautiously.
Yunyi shook his head and sat down to close his eyes.
Su Yan still didn't give up, since she "died", most of Yunyi would stay in Siqing Palace, Su Yan himself was heartbroken when he looked at it, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you bother." ”
"I am ashamed of her for not being able to do what I promised her." Yun Yi slowly opened her eyes, "I always feel like she's still here, and it seems that she never left." ”
Tao Zhiyuan covered her mouth and didn't let herself make any sound.
Su Yan was speechless, so he stayed quietly aside.
Yun Yi only noticed that there was an extra candlestick on the embroidery frame at this time, he felt strange, and when he walked over to take a look, he found that the mandarin duck playing in the water had been embroidered!
Here's her stitch!
Yun Yi immediately looked around the entire main hall, hoping to catch her figure, but in vain, he shouted loudly: "Qing Ling! Where are you?! ”
The only echoes in response were the chirping of the cicadas.
"I know it's you, are you okay to come out? Will you let me see you? Yunyi pleaded, and the weak side could not be concealed.
"Your Majesty, don't ...... like this" Su Yan supported the crumbling Yunyi, listening to Yunyi's hoarse screams, he, a slave, was also heartbroken, "Niangniang is dead, the emperor should stop clinginging." ”
"Then who embroidered the mandarin duck?! Even if it's her ghost, I'm going to keep her by my side forever! Yun Yi had already lost his mind, pushed Su Yan away, and ran into the dormitory, and Su Yan naturally followed in.
Tao Zhiyuan only walked out from behind the screen at this time, her eyes were already hazy with tears, she couldn't help but make a sound, heard the footsteps approaching again, and hurriedly jumped out of the window and left Siqing Palace.
ran all the way, but unconsciously ran to the imperial garden, squatting next to Mo Yanhua, and dared to cry loudly.
She wanted to ask Yunyi, if there was a new one, would he still choose this?
She slowly stood up and looked at the round moon, as if to illuminate all her emptiness.
Back in Ruolan Palace, Qian Xue saw her red and swollen eyes and stopped talking, she dismissed the servants in the dormitory, and was alone in front of the bed, hearing the sound of branches and leaves outside the window, she clutched a necklace and looked at it in a daze. The necklace has lost its original luster, and has become dull with the passage of time, and her fingertips can't help but caress the pattern of the necklace, trembling slightly.
"Yunyi ......" she chanted these two words repeatedly, and she still couldn't make up her mind, "Why did you choose this way in the first place, and now you regret it, even if I am a ghost, do you want to keep me by your side?" ”
The chest was dull and depressed, and he couldn't breathe normally, and his heart seemed to be pressed with tens of millions of pounds of burden, and he couldn't let it go, "Sister, what do you say?" What should I do? ”
**
The next day, Qian Xue was dressing her up, and a palace maid hurriedly ran in, Tao Zhiyuan recognized that this was also the palace maid of Ruolan Palace, and her name seemed to be Yanzhu.
"Niangniang, the slave maid just heard the news, and the emperor fell ill!"
Tao Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly, and said no more, Qian Xue observed her expression and asked, "Niangniang, do you want to visit the emperor?" ”
Tao Zhiyuan straightened her clothes at this time and said, "The emperor is sick, only the imperial doctor can cure it, what can I do if I go." Let's go to Shanggongju, I still have something to do. ”
Qianxue and Yanzhu glanced at each other at her sudden words, hesitated slightly, and retreated together after a while.
When she came to the Shanggong Bureau, she didn't let people pass it on, and walked into the division room, everything had not changed, she saw that Qiu Jing and Zhang Chunyao were discussing the style of palace clothing, and when they saw her, they hurriedly led the women to salute.
Tao Zhiyuan was also happy, seeing that they were still fine, her heart was more steady.
The three of them sat together in a room, and Qiu Jing asked, "I don't know what style of summer dress Niangniang wants?" ”
"It's hard to say, so I'll just draw it." Tao Zhiyuan took out the charcoal pen that had been prepared and drew quickly on the rice paper, and after a while, the prototype of a dress appeared on the paper.
Qiu Jing looked at her in astonishment, and said in shock: "Niangniang......"
Tao Zhiyuan smiled slightly, put her finger to her mouth, and motioned to Qiu Jing to stop talking. Zhang Chunyao had also seen this kind of design drawing, and she was a little shocked in her heart, but she still nodded.
"Do you understand what I want?"
"Yes, slave maid understands." Qiu Jing's eyes were already moist, and she had a happy expression, she had only seen this kind of drawing method from one person, who else was it not that person?
"It seems that there is a lot of work in the division room recently, and the summer clothes of the concubines are the majority, right?" Tao Zhiyuan asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"In the summer season, the ladies love to dance, and the dance costumes are the most, among which Li Meiren values the dance costumes the most, and each dance costume of the slave maid has to be modified three or four times, and Li Meiren feels satisfied." Qiu Jing said with some disdain.
Li Meiren? That's Li Dantong, she dances well, and she is even more comfortable with Wei Manhui.
"Women love beauty, and Li Meiren is strict." Tao Zhiyuan said.
"Everyone in the palace said that Li Meiren was a dancing fairy, and the emperor was fascinated by it as soon as she danced, and the emperor must have stayed with her after watching her dance." Zhang Chunyao said in a deep voice.
Tao Zhiyuan frowned, Yun Yi has always loved music, and she can't say that she likes dance, but Li Dantong has such a great charm, how much Li Dantong's dance has improved in the past year, and she also wants to see it.
"Then I'm going to make a dance costume too......" Tao Zhiyuan's eyes became complicated.
Zhang Chunyao knew Tao Zhiyuan's intentions, but what was more important was that she felt that Li Dantong was strange, and it was not too late to tell Tao Zhiyuan after she found out.
At this moment, Qianxue's urging voice sounded outside the door, saying that the emperor had come to Ruolan Palace.
He actually came? Her eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly realized.
She opened the door and went out, Yanzhu was long gone, "Okay, let's go back." ”
After walking a few steps, she turned back to Qianxue and said, "Although Yanzhu's hands and feet are nimble, I don't like to see her, you can do it yourself." ”
Qianxue had also understood, and nodded yes.
