As soon as Luo Xi left, Dongxue came back, walked up to me lightly and whispered, "The slave has already gone to help Aunt Jinyue bandage, it's not a big deal, it's just that Aunt Jinyue wants to invite the second lady to come over and sit." ”

Aunt Jinyue invited me over right now, thinking that something must be wrong, and the injuries on her body last night were also very strange. I let out an "um" and said slowly, "Got it." ”

The wind in the courtyard blew the corners of my clothes and skirts, turning like a phoenix's tail, I wrapped my fingers around the clothes belt, stood for a long time, and whispered: "Should I go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye?" ”

Dongxue said in a low voice: "Although Your Majesty didn't instruct it, the second miss doesn't have to go for the time being," thought about it, "but the second miss is pure and filial, even if she goes, no one will blame her." ”

I nodded and said, "Then you can accompany me to greet the Queen Mother in a while." ”

The hyacinths at his feet are strung with fluffy strings, a few beaded leaves are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and a small green bud is bubbling up on the purple-red bulbs, and the head is erect, like a little elf. The clusters of purple dotted among the vines are like a lazy woman sleeping in the beautiful morning sun.

A little bottom-out joy suddenly surged in his heart, and he smiled: "The flowers have been urged to bloom, and it is not in vain to have this warm sun today." ”

Qiu Si smiled: "Who said it wasn't, it's been a few days, and I haven't seen any signs of this flower blooming, and I was shocked to see the slave when I got up early this morning to prune!" ”

I lowered my eyebrows and said curiously, "If that's the case, that's a good sign." ”

Dongxue looked at the sky, took out a tulle brocade cloak robe from the room, and said to me, "Second Miss, the hour is almost up, it's time to go." ”

I pushed, "Do you still need this in such warm weather?" ”

Dongxue replied "yes", hung her cloak on her arm, followed me, and walked out slowly.

The road from where I live to Cining Palace is not far, and on both sides of the jade bricks and stones are mixed with bushes of spring, blooming brilliant flowers in the light of the morning sun, swaying lightly, stirring up a piece of broken gold.

As soon as I arrived at Cining Palace, I smelled a fragrance rushing up, not strong, but everywhere, permeating a palace, twelve cloud veil curtains that fell to the sky were pulled up with gold hooks decorated with crystal flocculents, looking directly at the depths of the palace. On the table is a pair of phoenix-top gilt green branch open bottles, which are inserted with a newly selected peony, scorching Luoyang red, which is nurtured by flower buds and exudes a faint fragrance.

After I knelt on the futon and said goodbye, the Queen Mother was very polite, asked me to sit down, and said with a pleasant face: "It's hard for you girl to have this heart." ”

I replied softly "yes" and said: "The Queen Mother's mother is in charge of the world, in charge of the six palaces, and if she can see the Queen Mother every day, it is the palace people who are also blessed." ”

The queen mother was really happy when she heard this, and said: "The emperor has not yet been drafted, but he is devoted to you alone, you must serve the emperor well, and don't forget to take care of yourself in your spare time," after a break, she smiled and said, "I hope you can add a prince to the royal family!" ”

I said: "The queen mother's golden and jade words must be remembered every word, and I dare not be negligent." ”

The Queen Mother sighed slightly, Aunt Jinyue personally brought the tea cup up, the Queen Mother took it and drank it, Aunt Jinyue said with a smile: "The second miss was injured before, and the Queen Mother wanted to see it again and again, but Her Majesty stopped her left and right, so she had to give up, but the second miss should remember that the Queen Mother often remembers the second miss in her heart and feels sorry for the second miss." ”

I got up and said: "Your Majesty must know that Miao Miao loves purity, and when she was seriously injured, she stopped her, Miao Miao Lao remembered that the Queen Mother was really blessed by the Queen Mother and His Majesty to be healthy so quickly, I really feel sorry for it." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "It is easy for a woman in the palace to be favored, but it is difficult to be favored. After seeing you last time, I felt that the fate inevitably told you two more sentences, serving the emperor on weekdays must do your best, be cautious, don't go against the emperor's wishes," and said, "There will be a draft soon, and you must not be jealous when you get along with your concubines in the future, which will ruin the peace of the palace." ”

I patiently listened to the Queen Mother's whispers for a long time, and only then did I get up and retire at dusk when the shadow was heavy.

The Queen Mother turned her face to Aunt Jinyue and said, "Jinyue, send this girl to give birth." ”

Aunt Jinyue led me to the right and said with a smile: "Second Miss came so early today, the Queen Mother is very happy to see it." ”

I said, "I think it's too early for me to disturb the Queen Mother's rest." ”

Aunt Jinyue pursed her lips and smiled, "Second Miss doesn't have to worry too much, the Queen Mother has always slept less." ”

In the blink of an eye, I quickly glanced at Aunt Jinyue, and said with a slight movement in my heart: "Last time, I said that I wanted to ask my aunt how to embroider, and it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, now can my aunt have time to borrow a step to learn a few words?" So I don't have to make another trip. ”

Aunt Jinyue lowered her head and said with a smile: "The second lady is willing to learn, how dare the slave dare to hide her craft privately?" ”

I nodded and said, "Auntie, please." ”

Aunt Jinyue held my hand and slowly walked forward, and I asked, "What does Auntie have to say to me?" ”

Aunt Jinyue said: "Last night, the slave maid was injured by the guards in front of the palace outside the palace. ”

I slowed down and asked, "Outside the palace?" Imperial guards? ”

Aunt Jinyue replied: "The Queen Mother sent the slave maid to monitor Master Yichen, it was the imperial guard who secretly assassinated the master last night, and the slave maid took action to stop it, but they were injured in the shoulder and back," sighed, "The slave and maid are old in the end, and they can't compare to the young people." ”

I frowned and said, "Auntie can be seen?" ”

Aunt Jinyue shook her head and said, "No matter how bad the slave is, she won't be picked off." ”

Walking to the place near the plum garden, Aunt Jinyue stopped, I held her hand, and said with a smile: "This matter is related to Your Majesty, I will solve it, thank you aunt for telling me, and I hope that my aunt can continue to help you more." ”

Aunt Jinyue smiled relentingly, "That's inevitable. Second Miss rest assured. ”

Aunt Jinyue bowed and went back.

I haven't walked the road of Meiyuan for a long time, and I am afraid to think of my eldest sister, although Zichen Palace has long been burned to ashes, but the scene in my mind is still vivid, and it is so detailed that I raise my hand and throw my foot. Second, after entering the spring, there is no plum blossom that Ling Han blooms alone, so there is no scenery to enjoy for a while.

There are only a few small and delicate pavilions, with vermilion walls and gray tiles, and the trees on the left and right are verdant and shaded, but before the summer heat, few people will come here and want to sit there. The breeze blows through the layers of willow silk flower shadows, and the vines move slightly like ripples in the heart lake.

I walked quietly, with my curtain on my feet, and Qiu Si next to me said loudly: "Second Miss, the wind is blowing, go back." ”

Dong Xue hurriedly came up to help me put on a wind robe, the loose robe swayed to the ground, Dong Xue said calmly: "Where does the second miss want to go?" ”

I bowed my head and sighed, and said helplessly: "Go to the imperial study and find Your Majesty." ”
