Chapter 40 Embroidery under the oil lamp is busy, and Zichen Palace is in trouble
What kind of official position is always a passing thing for Liu Wan. It's just that after Zhou Shanggong passed the decree, he specially called her out, and he was very curious about what happened that day.
"I knew you were clever, but I didn't expect you to have the ability to deceive."
Zhou Shanggong remembered the happy scene at that time, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely at Liu Wan's unchaotic and flexible response. Liu Wan still looked calm, as if these things were not worth mentioning.
"The palace is sinister, if you are in chaos, wouldn't it be very dangerous. Among the crowd that day, only Wang Siyi and Wang Ziying had different expressions, and I was also gambling. If you win, you can get out, and if you lose, you will never recover. Haven't you been here again and again? ”
Liu Wan smiled shallowly, like the pear blossom swaying in the wind outside the palace wall, pure and beautiful.
"However, Wang Ziying can get the queen's approval and take over as Siyi, you should know what it means. She's only going to be tougher to deal with than the last. ”
This is what I specially called her out to explain today, Liu Wan looked back at Zhou Shanggong's eyes, and sighed softly. She knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but she could only go on with her head.
"The embers of the golden furnace are leaking, and the light wind is cold. The spring color is annoying and I can't sleep, and the moon moves the flower shadow on the railing. ”
The earth warmed up, and the night also revealed some warmth. Fei Yi's spring clothes were sent to the palace, and Liu Wan made a few by herself, which was completely enough. It's just that Nan Ting grows up fast, and Mama Hong and Liu Wan have to pick up the lights and gossip while rushing to make spring clothes.
Sitting head-to-head is not a matter after all, Mama Hong has heard some gossip recently, why not talk about it at this time?
"Mrs. Xuan's illness is much better, I heard that the saint goes to watch it every day, it is really the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and even the plague god is deterred."
This is an extremely undesirable statement, but I am afraid that Emperor Wei asks every day, and those who want to do it have no chance.
"What is the cause of this disease? Once, I seemed to mention it, but I didn't pay much attention. ”
Mother Hong stopped what she was doing and thought about it for a moment before she said, "I heard that it was caused by encountering a cat on the palace road on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is strange to say, even if you are afraid of cats, you won't be scared like that?" ”
The two looked at each other and knew that there was an unwritten rule in the palace that no one was allowed to keep a cat. However, the cat ...... How is it so familiar, who else is connected to this beast? Liu Wan's brain was like a fragment, and she couldn't remember who it was anyway. It seems to be a woman who told her what the cat is about.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing that she didn't squeak for a long time, Mama Hong stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, thinking that she was stunned. This time, Liu Wan was a little embarrassed, and said in her mouth: "Xu is that there are too many things, and my memory is not as good as one day at a time." ”
"Hey, young man, what are you talking nonsense?"
After wiping some blunt needles on her hair, Mama Hong continued the embroidery work in her hands. She was embroidering a fan, saying that she would make a fan by herself to cool off when the weather was hot soon. Liu Wan looked sideways at Mama Hong's fan, which is the allusion to Chang'e under the moon, if you say that the embroidered characters are still skilled in Mama Hong, between the eyebrows and eyes are like living in general.
"This moon is also beautiful, the clouds chase the moon, if it is about to leave, it seems to be nothing."
Moon? On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no moon, and Concubine Yi was taken away by Cheng Hai, and Liu Ling followed and secretly went to Zichen Palace, which led to an encounter with Wang Siyi. However, before meeting Wang Siyi, she also met gorgeous people who were not qualified to go to the banquet. was extremely engaged in looking for things, and she was still learning the call of a cat in her mouth, and when Liu Wan asked, she realized that the cat in her palace was lost and was looking for it.
Now that I think about it, no one is allowed to raise cats in the palace, so how can gorgeous people be special.
"She's lying!" Liu Wan looked at the fan and said in a daze. Everything has been connected in his mind, and Huamei must have had some kind of relationship with Mrs. Xuan to use this poisonous trick. couldn't help pinching the embroidery thread in her hand, looking at her fascinate appearance, Mama Hong was really afraid that she would prick her fingers.
"Who's lying? What's wrong with you? ”
snatched the needle and thread from Liu Wan's hand, and Mama Hong was a little worried about her mental condition. Does that make sense? Liu Wan really has no idea, after all, it's just her own guess, don't hurt people's lives for no reason.
Inevitably worried, Liu Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "Xu is tired, I won't work today, so let's talk to my grandmother." ”
There are children in the house, and Liu Wan always carefully receives the needlework scissors into the small box and locks them. Now it's like this, and he turned around and asked Mama Hong: "What else can I say about Mrs. Xuan's illness?" ”
"It's nothing, Zuo is just that the gorgeous people have moved over for food and housing, which makes people sigh at their deep sisterhood, and even the emperor has treated the gorgeous people a lot better. It's all gossip, but there's something I want to show you. Mama Hong said as she inserted the needle and went back to the house to look for something.
The words about the cat have come to an end for the time being, and the deep meaning is that she is not an embroidery girl who is difficult to protect herself. After a while, Mama Hong returned to the house and held a dark blue silk cloth in her hand.
"What do you think of this cloth?"
Liu Wan reached out and touched it, the tentacles were warm and cool, and the texture was soft, which was an excellent choice for making bedclothes. So he said bluntly: "You can make a bed coat for Nan Ting, this child is afraid of heat at night, and silk is not hot when he wears it lightly." ”
Mama Hong put the fabric next to Liu Wan and sighed: "This is what was rewarded in the palace this year, but this child just doesn't appreciate it, as soon as he sees the blue color, he pushes it away and makes him bedclothes, so I'm afraid that I won't want to sleep all night." ”
"So, what do you mean?"
A bad premonition arose in Liu Wan's heart, the dark blue woman was not suitable for use, she took out this fabric, could it be that she wanted to make bed clothes for Ji Hongduo?
Pointing to the cloth, Mama Hong smiled: "Fei Yi is now a princess, you don't want to admit it, and you can't." doesn't say that it is as complicated for you to make clothes for the Queen Mother, and take the time to make him a bed, which can be regarded as giving him an answer. ”
"What is the reply?"
Liu Wan glanced at Mama Hong, which meant that she was blamed for being troublesome. After all, she is a person who has come over, and Mama Hong must have her own considerations for doing this. With a long sigh, he said, "You know how to survive in the palace." When you reprimanded a few little palace maids that day, don't you also say it, you must know gratitude. In any case, he gave you mother and daughter steps and the capital to survive, so you should be more kind to him. I don't know your past, and I can't speak. However, Fei Yi's father always has to be recognized, and your identity can't always be an embroidery girl! ”
"I want you to talk more!"
seemed to be really annoyed, and before she finished speaking, Liu Wan choked. Mama Hong also knew that she couldn't say more, in short, the fabric was left, and how to choose it depended on Liu Wan's thoughts.
In the Zichen Palace, the gorgeous people who were sleeping in the bed had been in bed for a long time, but Emperor Wei was still sitting and waiting to read, and he had no intention of going to bed for a long time. Seeing that it was about to be the second watch, Cheng Hai muttered to Emperor Wei under the pretext of changing the tea: "Drinking tea at night often makes it difficult to sleep, or don't change it?" ”
Ji Hongduo raised his eyes and glanced at Cheng Hai, and said coldly: "You are becoming more and more erranded!" ”
Cheng Hai knew that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly knelt down and slapped himself twice: "Look at the slave's ignorant mouth, it will annoy you as soon as you open your mouth." ”
Beat and beat, Ji Hongduo asked him to stand up, and threw the scroll in his hand on the table: "I am also a human being, and I always need to be prepared to face those women with a smiling face." For their deliberate flattery, I want to welcome and praise. You still have to think of ways to make them happy, you really think I am a fairy? Are these emotions coming? ”
After hearing this, Cheng Hai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It is said that the emperor is the happiest man in the world, and there are seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, who would have thought that you still have this trouble?" ”
If you don't get what you like, and if you don't like it, you'll get tired of it.
"By the way, how did you go to investigate?"
Picking up the scroll again, Ji Hongduo's eyes did not leave the book, but Cheng Hai felt that he was clearly staring at himself when he said this. It was not easy to be on an errand in front of the emperor, and now he was arranged by Emperor Wei to investigate, and he was sandwiched between Xie Zhi and Emperor Wei. On the one hand, he is his godfather, and on the other hand, he is the emperor who may make his head unsafe at any time, he is really difficult.
"There is some progress, Xiao Jianchen said that the eunuch on duty in the inner palace of the cat corpse that night said that he had seen it. However, those who gave Mrs. Xuan a step forward denied it. The minions are embarrassed by not knowing which side to trust. It is said that the eunuchs who should be on the march can see it more clearly, but Mrs. Xuan's bloody clothes are ironclad. ”
"If you say something useless, I just want to know if the cat corpse is there, and where is it now? You're better at letting me judge for myself? ”
After talking for a long time, there was no smooth word, taking off the clothes he was wearing outside, revealing the moon-white bedclothes, Ji Hongduo walked like a dormitory, and left a sentence for Cheng Hai: "If you still can't do this tomorrow, I will send Yang Hong to do it!" ”
Yang Hong is Cheng Hai's sworn enemy, and now he is afraid that he will have to run to his godfather. Whether there is a cat corpse or not, Cheng Hai seems to be a mirror in his heart. It's just that Xie Zhi also shut himself up, and he didn't dare to say more.
