Chapter 322: Lichi
Zhao Yan is one of the few men who can often enter and leave the harem, and every time he enters the palace, he has to bathe and change his clothes before entering the palace to wash away the dust he got from rolling on the battlefield, and he looks like a personable son.
Song Tian has looked at several brothers and cousins since she was a child, and her later brother-in-law Shen Baiyan is also handsome, although she is now indifferent to Shen Ze, she has to admit that people with the surname Shen are easily born with good looks.
Looking at Zhao Yan now, even if his appearance is not bad, he can't see anything new.
Zhao Yan was still carrying a food box that didn't look very novel, and it was full of snacks that Zhao Huang loved to eat.
Song Tian ate it once, and one of the fried quails was unusually crispy, which made people still have an aftertaste, but this kind of food is both hot and untable, and the palace will not do it, so Zhao Yan prepared it for Zhao Huang every time he entered the palace.
Thinking that Concubine Zheng also got all kinds of side dishes from her sister at home, Song Tian unconsciously muttered, "Worrying about your stomach, this word is really good." ”
Yingchun heard something, she is not a person with seven tricks, and she is not a well-spoken person, she knows nothing about it, and what she said is vague, "Niangniang didn't eat enough at the banquet, so let's go back to the palace and use some snacks." ”
I used to like smart confidants, but now I feel that it is more comfortable for people with fewer eyes to be around, Song Tian and Zhao Yan looked at each other from afar, Song Tian just nodded slightly, and left without squinting.
If he hadn't seen Song Tian laugh in front of Zhao Huang a few times, Zhao Yan would have thought that this noble concubine wouldn't laugh, and every time she met a cold and indifferent ice beauty.
'Ahem, why do people have to laugh at me?' Zhao Yan shook his head self-deprecatingly, and walked into the house quickly with the food box.
After the banquet dispersed, Zheng Lingyi wanted to talk to Zheng Shuangshuang, but Lu didn't know what to say in front of her, the two sisters glanced at each other across the crowd, and Zheng Shuangshuang's eyes fell back on Lu Shi, who seemed to be a little helpless and tired.
A servant said respectfully: "Mrs. Wu, the slave maid Zheng Concubine is serving by her side, and the slave maid is called Huayi." ”
"Flower waist? What's the matter? Zheng Lingyi looked at the sound and saw a thin palace maid handing over a jade box half a palm wide.
"Today's matter is that the Queen Mother instructed the face of the Duchess of the Kingdom, you don't have to take it to heart, this is the queen's mother's reward, our master thinks that Mrs. You look good, so I told the slave to send it to you."
Zheng Lingyi took it and opened it to take a look, there was a pair of earrings with red jade beads lined under the white silk satin, the palace things, materials and craftsmanship were all the best choices, she must have worn it like a red plum in the snow, and it was naturally good-looking.
"This, the queen's mother's reward, gave me a favor, okay?" Zheng Lingyi was a little worried.
"It's okay, our master won't give you the over-made jewelry, you can wear it with confidence, the master is close to the queen, and everything is fine in the palace." Hua Yin seemed to know Zheng Lingyi's thoughts very well, and everything she said was what she wanted to hear.
When Zheng Lingyi heard her name, he knew that it was with the flower floating in the house, and Zheng Shuangshuang didn't rely on the flower float all.
The casualness of the relationship between the queen and the concubine naturally surprised Zheng Lingyi, and if the harem was really so harmonious, she would really feel much more relieved.
"Yes, the queen mother is really noble and graceful, which makes people feel like a spring breeze."
Hua Yin smiled and said to Zheng Lingyi: "If it's still early today, if Madame is not in a hurry to get out of the palace, the slave maid will take you to the neighborhood for a walk?" ”
Speculating in her heart that maybe Zheng Shuangshuang left her with something to say, Zheng Lingyi agreed.
The harem is too big, Zheng Lingyi came a few times and only touched a scale and a half claw, the flower waist was in the palace when she was small, and a huge palace city also asked her to touch it all over.
Although she has seen Huayin many times by Zheng Shuangshuang's side, Zheng Lingyi is still a little vigilant, but Huayin did not take her to any secluded places that are inaccessible, and she walks in ordinary places, and she can meet a few ladies and sisters from time to time.
Seeing that there were schools of red fish pushing fallen leaves to play by the lake, Zheng Lingyi stopped and looked at it for a long time, and when Hua Yin saw that she was interested, she said: "Mrs. Wu is waiting for the slave maid here for a while, and the slave maid will go to the little eunuch to ask for some fish food." ”
As soon as Hua Waist left, Lu Zhu relaxed a little, and said softly and quickly: "We can't build such a big pool in our house." ”
"This is the heavenly home, which is naturally different from the homes of ordinary people." Zheng Lingyi said and took another step towards the edge of the pool, and was tightly held by the green beads.
"I'm not a kid anymore, and you see the moss on the edge of the pond has been shoveled clean." Zheng Lingyi's feet are clean gravel roads, which are the most non-slip.
But Luzhu still didn't let go, Zheng Lingyi had no choice but to follow her, the koi fish were in groups, and they could see clearly when they stood far away.
The blades of grass squirted, Zheng Lingyi turned around vigilantly, the water here was pervasive, the plants were abundant, and it was easy to hide a person.
"Master, let's go to the edge of the pool to enjoy the red fish." Listening to the voice, it should be a palace maid, Zheng Lingyi didn't know that he had met that palace concubine, so he just stood there and waited for the salute.
"I didn't go, the leaves fell like crazy." The woman said unhappily, her voice sounding familiar.
Zheng Lingyi looked up at the yellow weeping willow, and a long sharp leaf floated down and fell softly under her eyebrows.
Zheng Lingyi reached out and picked it up and threw it into the lake, attracting a swimming fish with red and white scales.
She thinks this autumn sunset leaves are very interesting, people have different moods and different ideas, listening to the tone of this palace concubine, it seems that she is angry.
Since she didn't come, Zheng Lingyi also planned to avoid it, so as not to have an accidental collision, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.
The master and servant closed their mouths and silently continued to enjoy the fish, and the woman's voice came again, "The slut surnamed Zheng is really proud, so the idea of poor and sour things is embarrassed to show off on the table, how good do you think you are with the queen and the concubine?" People just make fun of her! ”
Zheng Lingyi didn't want to hear it, so he frowned and didn't say a word.
"Why should the master bother with her so much, the fact that he was kicked out of the study a few days ago is not enough of a joke."
As soon as Lu Zhu heard this, he knew that Zheng Lingyi must be distressed. Zheng Lingyi lowered his eyes, and the knot in his eyebrows deepened.
"Hmph, she is thick-skinned, she was blocked by the emperor, and immediately flattered the queen, she really didn't delay at both ends."
Zheng Lingyi can be sure who this person is, it is the sister of the Yu family who has also entered the palace, she hasn't paid much attention to her at the banquet, and it seems that she is also a concubine, but she always sits under Zheng Shuangshuang's head, recalling the one or two sides she saw when she was in the boudoir, and her appearance is not enough, in this beautiful harem, it is naturally nothing, this seat is full of sour and vinegar words, which makes people feel disgusted when they hear it.
"Don't be sad, ma'am." Green Bead said softly.
Zheng Lingyi's mood was a little better, she exhaled and said, "It's mediocre not to be jealous, I'm not sad, but I feel sorry for my sisters." ”
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Zheng Lingyi thought it was Concubine Yu coming, but when he turned around, he was a flower waist, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mrs. Wu, this fish eats fishy smell, you use this small copper spoon to serve it."
Zheng Lingyi sprinkled a spoonful of fish food, and all kinds of carp fluttered, like a flower that opened in an instant, and the three people on the shore all smiled.
As soon as Zheng Lingyi's heart was relieved, he heard Concubine Yu's angry voice, "You are so bold, you dare to hide here and eavesdrop!" ”
Hua Xia was very stunned, she was afraid that Zheng Lingyi would not recognize her, so she hurriedly said, "This is Concubine Yu." ”
Zheng Lingyi turned around and saluted, opened his lips and said, "Concubine Yu Niangniang." ”
Concubine Yu snorted coldly, her willow eyebrows upside down, "It's really an improper family style, one or two of them are so unbearable!" ”
"Why did Concubine Yu say that? Mrs. Wu was just feeding the fish by the lake. Hua Waist didn't know what was going on, so she could only explain dryly.
"Concubine Yu and the palace maid chewed the root of their tongues behind their backs, and their voices were louder, so that I could hear them, so the wicked person sued first."
Zheng Lingyi said this, as if she was deliberately explaining to Hua Yuan, Hua Yin couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw her speak so blatantly, as if she had seen some strange scene.
"You!" Yu Concubine angrily stretched out her finger and pointed at Zheng Lingyi, "Okay! You are a sharp mouth, do you think your sister is favored? What short-sightedness! In the future, there will be a long time to come, and there will always be a higher one! ”
"Concubine Yu said cautiously, you, like Concubine Zheng, entered the palace to serve the emperor, the queen mother and the queen, what do you want to compete for? Is the emperor contestable in your heart? That's disrespectful. ”
Zheng Lingyi said, and stretched out his finger to touch his lips, and then raised his wrist to scoop the fish food into the lake, and the lake was a cheerful commotion.
The big hat was buttoned down, so that Concubine Yu couldn't refute, she pointed to Zheng Lingyi's hand and trembled for a long time, "What a sharp mouth that can speak well, I can write it down!" ”
Seeing her angrily brushing her sleeves away, Lu Zhu was very worried, "Madam, this is ......
"Those who are strong and guilty, don't be afraid. Her qualifications are mediocre, and she can't climb high. Zheng Lingyi raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully.
The wanton temperament she had restrained before entering the palace was a little stuffy today.
"Huh." The man's short laughter rang out suddenly, and it was really frightening.
Zheng Lingyi caught a glimpse of a dragon claw on the man's robe out of the corner of his eye, and quickly knelt down, his mind was still confused, and he had already said a long list of words in his mouth, "The concubine is so quick to talk about the nobles in the palace, she really deserves death, and she begs the emperor to punish her." ”
"Huh." Shen Ze laughed again, laughing so much that the green beads and the flower waist were almost paralyzed, and the cold sweat was like no money.
"Wu Qing cherishes words like gold, but I didn't expect Mrs. to be sharp-toothed, get up, what you say is the truth, I won't punish you."
After saying this for a long time, Zheng Lingyi dared to raise his head slowly, and Shen Ze looked at her with a smile, the expression on his face was as if he had watched a good show.
I don't know why, Zheng Lingyi was a little more nervous in his heart, and lowered his head again.
