Chapter 50: Gain trust in your scheming and make friends in the academy
The fox proudly puffed out smoke on the copper incense burner, and since the first day of entering the palace, the incense in this room has not stopped. Youlan, who was beside the queen, said that the Yunyu Hall was damp and needed to use incense every day, otherwise there would be a musty smell. No woman wants to smell musty, so Lu Yao obediently insists on using incense.
Qinghuan is the female history who is responsible for burning incense every day, and Mrs. Dun said that when Mrs. Wen Shu was there, she loved to use the incense she blended. "Qing Huan's brain doesn't know how to grow, she does have a good fragrance, a few years ago, my sister has not entered the palace, and the palace is fortunate to transfer her to her side, and it can be regarded as a good smell of a few incense."
Therefore, when Shen Tangzhou had a miscarriage in his Yunyu Palace, Lu Yao's first suspicion was the incense in this incense burner.
"Qinghuan, what kind of incense is burning today?"
Lu Yao was only wearing a bedclothes, sitting in front of the bronze mirror and asking Qinghuan lazily. Such conversations have often appeared, and they are not abrupt. Qing Huan glanced back at the incense burner and replied: "Back to the words of the beloved, it is a jade cypress, which is transparent and transparent, accompanied by a faint aroma of cypress, which can refresh the mind." ”
"Well, this concubine is really confused today, you go down!"
It's been ten days, and Lu Yao doesn't need to freshen up, because no one will come to see her. This Yunyu Palace has become an out-and-out cold palace, and the emperor only said that she should be grounded in the palace and wait for the matter of the miscarriage to be ascertained before making arrangements. But when will we find out? She was tired of seeing herself in the bronze mirror, and she was also tired of seeing every grass and tree in Yunyu Palace.
has been in the palace for three or four years, and she has never been pregnant, and Zhu Zhiyi, who lived here before, is not pregnant. Is this just a coincidence? All of this made her even more suspicious of the incense. However, there are many things that cannot be explained. Qinghuan changes the fragrance every day according to the situation, and to be honest, she has never smelled anything like it. Like, musk!
Moreover, Mrs. Dun originally asked Qing Huan to serve in her palace, so she would not ignore the safety of the second princess, so let people burn incense at will. You must know that the second princess is her top child, and she can even turn her face with the queen for this daughter.
"Qinghuan, don't burn incense from tomorrow, no one will come anyway, and it doesn't hurt if there is a musty smell."
Lu Yao's words made Qing Huan's heart tremble, and she immediately raised her eyes to look at Lu Yao, but she had to do what her master told her. The left is just to disguise some smells, and other methods can also be used. Qing Huan tried to ask: "But the master thinks that there is incense ash in the incense, and it looks uncertain?" ”
"Not really, I just feel that the incense has not been broken since I entered the palace, and I really want to smell the sun."
Looking at Lu Yao's expression, he should not have noticed the cattiness of Yunyu Palace. It's okay to break it for a few days temporarily, but if it happens for a long time, I'm afraid it's going to be bad. Qing Huan lowered his head and pondered, and said, "I don't know how the matter of the envoy Ruchang is investigated?" Or, Qing Huan wants to go out and inquire? ”
At the moment, it seems that there is no other way except for Qinghuan to go out and walk around. Lu Yao didn't expect that before she could speak, she took the initiative to respond to the job. How could there be any unhappiness, he picked a pearl hairpin in his jewelry box and stuffed it into Qing Huan's hand, looked at her with great gratitude, and thanked her. Trapped in this Yunyu Palace, she can't give Qinghuan anything other than these.
Qing Huan is a person with brains, and she is also a little aggressive, at least in a desperate situation, she once took the initiative to survive. Therefore, she loves her life and knows how to save it. Before the hairpin could touch it, she excused herself and said: "When Niang Niang does this, she looks down on Qing Huan and thinks that Qing Huan is the kind of villain who is greedy for small profits." If so, if you want Qinghuan to help you do something, you will take back the hairpin. ”
Lu Yao was stunned, put the hairpin back into the jewelry box, and said ashamedly: "It's my villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman." ”
Qing Huan smiled faintly and took advantage of the situation to propose: "Niang Niang doesn't like to burn incense, I won't burn it from tomorrow, don't worry about the musty smell, Qing Huan will make you a sachet." ”
Qing Huan, who had already gained all of Lu Yao's trust, said that everything was good, but Lu Yao nodded but did not doubt why she kept staring at the smell.
In the afternoon, the sky changed, and the rain poured down, and there was no place to hide.
Jiuzhang Academy has ended, and today is Yan Nanting's first day at the academy. Liu Wan chose a spirited little eunuch Dexing to follow him, for fear that he would be bullied when he first arrived at the academy, and secretly instructed Dexing to protect Yan Nanting.
Maybe Liu Wan thinks too much, and the children in the academy also have a wait-and-see time, and they will not embarrass Yan Nanting on the first day of school. And Yan Nanting is not as weak as she thought, although she does not have a deep understanding of her identity, but this child also vaguely feels that she is special, and she is always humble and cautious in dealing with the world.
On the first day, he made the first friend in his life besides Fei Yi.
"Your inkstone can't be placed like this, Mr. Feng will be angry when he sees it in a while."
"Huh?"
It turns out that there are rules for placing inkstones here, but how should they be placed? When Yan Nanting was scratching his head in embarrassment, the boy who spoke just now changed the position of his inkstone and pen holder, keeping the same position as the other students.
"But," although he didn't want to spoil the kindness of others, Yan Nanting still stubbornly replaced them, "I write with my left hand." ”
He lowered his head a little shyly, feeling that this was a defect, even though he tried to change it many times, but he couldn't write smoothly with his right hand. Ah Wan told him: "Then forget it, as long as you write the habit, your left hand and right hand are the same." ”
What he didn't expect was that the child's eyes suddenly widened, and he shot a curious gaze, presented his best pen, and moved another piece of rice paper: "Can I see how you write?" ”
The boy in front of him didn't seem to laugh at himself, Yan Nanting generously took the pen, filled it with ink, and left the word "Xie" on the rice paper. The boy's curiosity was greatly satisfied, and he was so happy that he praised Yan Nanting: "You are so good, I never knew that anyone could write with his left hand!" ”
"Who's amazing? Prince Jinxiu! ”
Feng Yuebai's voice came from behind him, and Jin Xiu knew that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and turned his head. This should be Mr. Feng that Jin Xiu just said, Yan Nanting turned his head to look at the personable man in front of him, and at the moment when Feng Yuebai smiled at him, he also showed a smile.
"Sir, I write with my left hand, so the inkstone can't be placed according to your requirements, I'm sorry!"
I don't know why, Feng Yuebai inexplicably likes the child with a clean smile in front of him, after he apologized, Feng Yuebai did not adhere to his consistent principles, but said: "It's okay, everyone's writing habits are different, how convenient you can be." ”
Feng Yuebai walked forward, and Ji Jinxiu whispered to Yan Nanting: "Your face is so big, he never smiles at us, and he doesn't allow anything that doesn't meet his requirements." ”
Sure enough, soon the strict Fengyuebai appeared, and a loud shout was heard in front of the study: "Jinxiu, you have more to talk about!" ”
Frightened, Ji Jinxiu trembled, and consciously stood beside Mr. Feng, only to see the ring ruler hit his palm three times, and his immature palm soon swollen high.
Seeing Ji Jinxiu's appearance, he was afraid that he would be beaten often, so he didn't snort, wiped his palm on his clothes, and then turned back and knelt to sit. The whole school suddenly erupted in a burst of ridicule, but Yan Nanting didn't laugh, because Ji Jinxiu was punished because of himself. So, he also walked up to Mr. Feng like Ji Jinxiu and stretched out his palm.
Feng Yuebai was stunned at first, but then he understood that Yan Nanting was telling himself that Ji Jinxiu was talking to him and could not be punished alone. So, on the first day of school, Yan Nanting went back with swollen hands. However, holding the swollen palm and glancing at Ji Jinxiu, they all smiled.
"My name is Ji Jinxiu, and I am the son of Mrs. Xian. Actually, I'm not afraid that Mr. Feng will punish me, and I'm not afraid that they will laugh at me, everyone is about the same age, and I'm not ashamed! Next time, you won't have to be punished with me. ”
The little eunuch who accompanied them walked side by side with them on their backs, and when it rained heavily, they were responsible for carrying umbrellas. The thunder rang out, and the two children spoke louder and louder.
Mrs. Xian waited on the palace road early, and when she saw Changfu coming back with Jinxiu on her back, she showed a reassuring smile.
"That's my mother!"
Seeing Mrs. Xian from afar, Jin Xiu pointed and shouted excitedly, and Yan Nanting saw the expectation and smile on Mrs. Xian's face, which he had never seen before. Sometimes, Ah Wan will smile at Fei Yi like this. But no one has ever smiled at himself like this, he has never seen his mother, and he suddenly felt lonely in his heart, and looked enviously at Ji Jinxiu who was jumping on Changfu's back.
