Chapter 2 Giving Sachets
i^i^
Wheel of light flying. Time flies. In an instant. Lin Yueyao's son will be full moon. According to the rules handed down from our ancestors. The day of the full moon of the little prince. The palace should be full of moon wine. Banquet for the royal family within five suits.
Full moon wine is arranged at luncheon. After breakfast. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone to ask if the concubine was going to the banquet. Zi Ling readily agreed. Of course it's going to go. Such a lively scene. Such a meaningful moment. How could she be absent. Moreover. She's got a good show in store.
Seeing Zi Ling agreeing to go to the banquet. The jade slave was very worried. I couldn't help but say to Zi Ling: "Miss. If you don't want to go. Don't force it." After all. Her young lady's prince had just died. But the prince of the family wants to put on a full moon wine. This is the case. How can the child spirit not touch the scene? If she can't stand such a big blow. That's how good it is.
"A few days ago. I command you to tailor the sachets likewise. You're ready." Zi Ling looked at the jade slave. There is a smile in the eyebrows and eyes. And did not answer Yunu's concerns. But he asked about it without a boundary.
"It's been ready for a long time. The slave and maid are going to fetch it." As he spoke, the jade slave walked to the door. I want to go to the room and get those sachets.
"No need." Zi Ling spoke out to stop the jade slave. Because. She didn't want to see the sachets that she hated so much. She commanded the jade slave." Let Xiaoru go to the hospital and ask for some wormwood. Just say I want it."
Half a day. Xiaoru received wormwood from the Tai Hospital. Zi Ling asked the jade slave to put the wormwood into the sachet that had been cut earlier. And instructed the jade slave to bring the sachets filled with wormwood to Linghua Garden during the luncheon, and arrange the luncheon in Linghua Garden.
Zi Ling dressed up quite carefully. Carefully pulled a Ling Xuan bun. A hairpin on a branch of butterfly wings swaying. There is no other decoration. Look at yourself in the mirror. Ordinary but elegant. Ordinary but without losing aura. Zi Ling smiled with satisfaction. With Yu Nu and Xiao Ru, he wanted to go to Linghua Garden for a banquet.
"Mother, you ...... Do you wear this garment to the feast?" Hesitated for a moment. Shinoru finally spoke. Because. Zi Ling is dressed in plain white clothes. White dress and white dress. White shoes and white belt. Dressed plainly like this to go to the full moon banquet of the little prince. After all, it's still inappropriate. In case the emperor and the queen mother are displeased. So what to do.
"How. Isn't it good to wear it like this?" Zi Ling asked lightly.
"That's not what the slave meant...... "Xiaoru quickly knelt down. Hurriedly explained. The slave is just afraid that you are dressed too plainly. In case the emperor and the queen mother are displeased......"
"The little prince of the family is full of moon. But my little prince died forty-nine days. Don't. You want me to add to my mother's precious clothes. Wear gold and silver. Do you want to congratulate others with joy?" Come to think of it. Zi Ling couldn't help but feel sad about it. My voice choked up." Others can rest assured. How can I feel at ease." The "others" in her mouth naturally refer to the ruthless and unrighteous Meng Hongyu.
"That's not what the slave means......" was misunderstood by Zi Ling. Xiaoru was so anxious that she was about to cry. Defend vigorously.
Hold back the grief in your heart and the tears in your eyes. Zi Ling sighed softly. Then he stepped forward to help Xiaoru: "Get up. I know you didn't mean that. It's just that. I...... I feel uncomfortable."
Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief. Choked up and comforted Ziling: "Niangniang. Don't be sad. We're going to have to go to the feast happily."
yes. Even though there are 10,000 worms gnawing at my heart. She also had to endure her grief. Forced to go to the feast with a smile on his face. Thereupon. She forced herself to smile. Take Yunu and Xiaoru to Linghua Garden, of course. also brought the "heavy gift" she carefully prepared.
Arrived at Linghua Garden. Went up to the Star Picking Tower. I saw that Lin Yueyao had arrived early. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Wearing delicate makeup. Wear gold and silver. The smile on his face was so thick that he couldn't hide it. What a blessing. A nurse stood behind her with her little prince in her arms. There are also three aunts who take care of the little prince with him. I really took care of the little prince as a rare treasure.
The seats are set up according to the hierarchy of dignity and inferiority. The concubines and concubines are the highest in rank. Therefore. Her seat happened to be on Lin Yueyao's left hand side. In the next head of Meng Hongyu. The guests have already arrived. And one after another sat down and waited. Zi Ling came a little late. She stepped forward. Leaned over and bowed to Meng Hongyu. said: "Zi Ling is late. I hope the emperor will forgive your sins."
Meng Hongyu saw that Ziling was willing to come to the banquet. It is expected that she may gradually forget the pain of losing her child. No longer in the room all day long sorrowful; So I was quite relieved. Nor will she be held accountable for being late. Waved his hand to let Zi Ling get up and take a seat. Zi Ling looked up. Smile at him. Laughing so hard that even the last trace of worry vanished. It's that he's going to be wrong. He thought Zi Ling's smile was a relief. Don't you know the meaning of her smile?
Salute. Zi Ling calmly swept in front of Lin Yueyao's seat. Walk to your seat. I saw Zi Ling dressed in white. Lin Yueyao expected that Ziling was deliberately trying to touch her moldy head. Therefore the heart is displeased. Glancing at Bai Ziling.
Suddenly. Zi Ling "accidentally" stumbled. I was about to fall to the ground. Yunu and Xiaoru hurriedly reached out to hold her. But see. Five or six sachets fell out of Ziling's sleeve pocket. Those sachets are made from pale blue brocade. It is embroidered with beige lilies. Just a regular sachet bag. There is nothing special about it.
As expected. Meng Hongyu opened his mouth and asked Ziling: "How could Concubine Xiao Guifei carry so many sachets with her."
"Zi Ling originally wanted to wait until after the luncheon. Give these sachets to all the sisters here. So I brought it with me. Who expected so many sachets to bulge. With quite a burden. It's not. I just accidentally fell out." Zi Ling smiled and told Meng Hongyu. Then the tone was soft. With a hint of coquettishness and pleading." Can the emperor ask Ziling to give these sachets out now?"
"Why did Concubine Xiao give everyone these sachets." One promised to ask curiously, with Xiao Guifei's identity and status. It's too shabby to send such an ordinary sachet.
"This is no ordinary sachet. There's a mystery in it." Zi Ling said in a mysterious way. All you need to do is keep it safe."
"What a mystery." Bai Rushuang asked warily. Nothing to offer courtesy, either treachery or theft. Xiao Ziling wants to give everyone this broken sachet for no reason. Surely there is no good intention.
"If you say it. That's not a mystery." Zi Ling continues to sell Guan Zi." All you sisters need to do is take it. After all, it is something useful for you. If I have the heart to harm you; It's not going to be in plain sight." She deliberately put the word "incriminating evidence" very seriously.
"Just send it." Meng Hongyu waved his hand and said. In his opinion. It's just a small thing like a sesame mung bean. There's no need to bother at all. Zi Ling is just a sachet. What can there be? It's all his concubines who are too small and big.
Got the emperor's permission. Zi Ling took the sachet from Xiaoru's hand. One by one, I went to deliver them in person. What about Meng Hongyu. I have been drinking and laughing for a long time. Don't worry about these trivial matters between concubines.
When handing the sachets to the concubines one by one. Zi Ling deliberately observed their expressions carefully. The low-ranking promises were all respectfully accepted. Then solemnly in his bosom; Lin Yueyao was dismissive of the sachet. Refusing to connect; White as frost took it. but looks absent-minded and aggrieved; Su Zirong stretched out his hand to take it. He smiled at Zi Ling.
Before. Zi Ling had long suspected that Liu Ruxin had done this. Therefore. She deliberately gave the sachet to Liu Ruxin at the end, if it was really Liu Ruxin's doing. So. The longer it drags on. The more Liu Ruxin was restless. When the time comes. Zi Ling only needs to give it a try. Liu Ruxin's weakness and panic will be exposed.
At last. Zi Ling finally slowly walked in front of Liu Ruxin. Saw. Liu Ruxin looked calm and drank lightly. He didn't seem to care about the sachet in Ziling's hand. At this time. The sachet in Ziling's hand was not the "fake" she later ordered Yunu to imitate, but the "genuine" that filled the musk with a fake package.
Zi Ling deliberately passed the sachet in his hand slowly. Liu Ruxin still looked calm and reached out to take the sachet. However. Zi Ling saw that her hands were trembling slightly.
Zi Ling chuckled. continued to test Liu Ruxin: "My sister-in-law brought me a letter from home. The letter said. I was fortunate to get together with my sister in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 'Yongle Palace'. I miss my sister very much after saying goodbye." She deliberately emphasized the "place of the crime" of "Yongle Palace".
"I ...... too I miss my sister." Liu Ruxin said calmly.
"Sister-in-law said. She likes her sister's embroidered 'lilies' the most. Among thousands of lilies. She could recognize her sister's embroidered lilies at a glance. I don't know when. My sister can embroider a few more lilies and give them to my sister-in-law." This. Zi Ling deliberately said that the "lily" was very heavy.
Liu Ruxin's face gradually became a little ugly. And the eyes dodge. It seems to be because of a weak heart. So I didn't dare to look directly into Zi Ling's eyes.
"Sister knows what spices are in this sachet." The pretense is just a casual question. Zi Ling continued to "chat" with Liu Ruxin with a clever smile.
"How, how can I know, know." Liu Ruxin's face turned pale. Replied incoherently.
See Liu Ruxin's reflection one after another. Zi Ling can already conclude that Liu Ruxin caused her premature birth. However. Now. Even if the culprit who killed his child has been found. What could she do? As long as Liu Ruxin gritted her teeth and denied it. There was no one to condemn her. Therefore. She couldn't step forward and slap Liu Ruxin twice. to vent the hatred of the heart; You can't bring Liu Ruxin to Meng Hongyu. Ask Meng Hongyu to cut her with a thousand knives.
However. Her child will not die in vain. Categorically not. Now. Now that the real culprit has been identified. The goal is clear. So. Next. She wants her to pay with blood. She wants to ask Liu Ruxin to return her child's life. I want to ask Lin Yueyao for Su Zirong's life.
We'll see. Those who deceive. They will be deceived. Those who hurt people. Eventually they will be killed. Those who owe a blood debt. Eventually, it will be repaid with life.
