Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dead Man of the Moon
Yao Chuxi had dinner for a while, sat by the window and read a book for a while, but the rain did not let the window open, saying that he was afraid that his master would catch a cold, but Han Shanggong felt otherwise.
She picked up a thin cloak and draped it behind her master, then opened the fist-wide slit in the window.
Luo Yu didn't understand it, but after listening to Han Shanggong's words, he understood.
"The little master had a fever before, and he usually had to pay attention to the ventilation in the house, and the little master also had to breathe all the time to save himself from going out for a walk, right?"
After Han Shanggong finished speaking, he lit a long candle again, and leaned in front of Yao Chuxi's eyes, "Little master, be careful, hurt your eyes." ”
Han Shanggong went out with his front foot, and followed him with the rain on his back foot.
"Han Shanggong, are you looking for me?"
"You go in for a while, move the short wax from before, save the little master, don't close the window for the time being, and close it when the little master goes to bed."
Luo Yu responded, "Han Shanggong is thoughtful, it's late, you go back and rest, I have it." ”
Late at night, Yao Chuxi put the unclosed book on the table, and carefully got up to get ready for bed.
Luo Yu first helped her to the bed, then closed the window tightly and blew out the candles on the table.
"Does the little lord still need some supper? Han Shanggong was just hot, and now it's just right. ”
Yao Chuxi read the book for a while, but he didn't feel hungry or not. But now after listening to the rain and saying that there was a supper, I actually felt that my stomach was empty.
It's not that I'm hungry, but I still want to eat a few more bites.
After a while, Luo Yu entered the back room with a square plate, which was filled with osmanthus cake and fried yellowish buns.
Yao Chuxi first tasted the osmanthus cake and felt a little sweet and greasy, and then tasted a small bun. The fragrant filling of the bun is blended with the sweet and greasy taste of the osmanthus cake, which is just right.
"This supper was arranged by Han Shanggong?" Yao Chuxi asked.
"No, how about the little master?"
Yao Chuxi didn't speak, but looking at the stuffed mouth was nothing more than the best proof.
Han Shanggong instructed Luo Yu not to let the master eat all of them, and save himself from falling asleep and accumulating food. Seeing that the master had eaten half of the plate, he immediately stopped it.
In the end, Yao Chuxi drank a glass of white water and rinsed his mouth again before going to sleep.
When he woke up, Yao Chuxi felt that Yunyan Pavilion seemed to be a little different.
I can't say it's any different, but it looks like everyone has something on their minds.
Let's just talk about the frost, I am usually sensible and steady, but today I also have the time to pour water out of the cup.
Besides, Jiang Liu, for more than two years, it was basically his business to pass on the meal, but today he left a box of breakfast in the dining room, fortunately, now Yunyan Pavilion is fully staffed, and immediately sent another eunuch to get it back.
There is also the most hidden snowfall, which seems to be full of thoughts on his whole face when he comes down in the morning, and he has been looking outside the Yunyan Pavilion.
"Falling snow, what's wrong with you today?" Yao Chuxi asked.
Luoxue hesitated for a moment before remembering that her master had asked her. Then he began to stumble again, unable to understand what he could say.
"This girl lost a handkerchief outside the door in the morning, worried that others would pick it up and worry that she wouldn't be able to find it, didn't miss the little master's business?" Han Shanggong came over and asked.
Falling Snow quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for Han Shanggong, Luoxue really wouldn't know what to say.
"If you lose the handkerchief, you lose it, I have a lot there, you have to pick a favorite one to use when you are free." Yao Chuxi said.
As soon as the snow had passed, Ling'er crashed into it.
Yao Chuxi thought about going to the courtyard after breakfast, but before he could get out of the door of the east hall, he heard Ling'er whispering outside the door.
"I went over and looked at it just now, and the corpse was pulled away, and Mr. Ji didn't let Fen'er cry, because he slapped her because of the tears."
As soon as the words fell, Han Shanggong walked over in two steps, lifted her face and gave a slap: "Where did you hear the gossip, come to the little master's door?" It's farther away, and you hit the little master's body, how many lives do you lose? ”
Ling'er was a little dissatisfied with Han Shanggong, and was about to deal with her, but when she saw the master behind her, she immediately lowered her face and didn't dare to say a word.
Not to mention Ling'er, even the rain on the side saw Han Shanggong's momentum for the first time.
But this matter was a big deal, and Han Shanggong explained that everyone in Yunyan Pavilion had to keep their mouths shut. How taboo it is to die when you are pregnant, not to mention, the dead person still knows the master, and if you don't know it, you still live next door, how can people not worry?
Yao Chuxi didn't hear Ling'er's words clearly, and wanted to stop the little eunuch who was talking with Ling'er, but the eunuch ran away from the smoke.
Yao Chuxi felt that something was wrong, even when he was walking in the courtyard, he saw the little palace maids and eunuchs passing by in front of the door all walking in a hurry with their heads down, and no one dared to make a little more noise, as if Yunyan Pavilion was some kind of taboo realm.
"What's going on today? Everybody is so weird? Yao Chuxi asked.
"Why does the little lord ask that?" Han Shanggong said, "The little master is pregnant with a dragon heir, and Yunyan Pavilion has to hang his head up and down to serve the little master, it is normal to tremble, how can the little master think about it blindly." ”
Yao Chuxi didn't make a sound, and simply walked back to the east hall.
In the afternoon, the emperor came on a trip.
The emperor did not come in vain this time, he sent twelve pieces of rewards alone, and personally handed Yao Chuxi a Buddha bead that had been opened.
Only then did Yao Chuxi realize that not only the palace maids and eunuchs were strange, but even the emperor was strange.
But she didn't ask in detail, since Han Shanggong and the emperor deliberately concealed it, it was naturally for her good, how could she not know how to raise it?
No one came all day today. There was no celebration of gifts, and there was no pretending to be kind and deliberately trying to figure her out, which really made Yao Chuxi breathe a sigh of relief.
Three days later, the palace of Yunyan Pavilion was considered to be a little more normal.
No one came on this day, until it was almost time for dinner, and He Jieyu came to visit.
"I've been thinking about coming to see my sister for a long time, and I've never been free, so I'm going to come for dinner, my sister doesn't blame my sister, right?" He Jieyu swaggered in from the door of Yunyan Pavilion, and the palace people knelt on the ground, "Say hello to He Jieyu." ”
Yao Chuxi saw He Jieyu coming, and got up from the low collapse with the support of the falling rain and saluted.
Luoyu was angry when she saw He Jieyu's face.
But Han Shanggong was not here at this time, so he went to Shangyi Supervisor to help the master choose clothes and fabrics, and he might not be able to come back for a while.
Relying on the master and her alone, how did she deal with He Jieyu, who was too high-grade?
"He Jieyu came from afar, and the concubine was not welcomed." Yao Chuxi said.
"What did my sister say?" He Jieyu was not polite, she didn't even look at the palace people who were kneeling in the Yunyan Pavilion, and sat directly on the side collapse, "I came here this time to bring some things casually, and please don't dislike my sister." ”
The rain held his breath at this time, and he couldn't be nervous.
Who knows what He Jieyu is having? I'm afraid that the congratulatory gift is not a good thing.
Besides, the last incident in the Imperial Garden, the master and He Jieyu didn't tell a winner or loser, this child can make He Jieyu better? Absolutely impossible!
"Jieyu's selection is naturally good." After Yao Chuxi finished speaking, he raised his hand lightly, and Luoyu hurriedly accepted the congratulatory gift.
The object in the congratulatory gift refuted the idea of falling rain, and was just a pair of bracelets inlaid with gold and jade.
Luoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
But after thinking about it, no, how could He Jieyu lower her body price and pull down her face to Yunyan Pavilion? And to give the master such a valuable gift?
It's not right to think about anything.
At this time, the people of Yunyan Pavilion had not yet gotten up except for the falling rain.
"Look at the concubines who don't know how to do things, He Jieyu has been here for so long, and she hasn't even prepared a cup of tea." Yao Chuxi smiled, and then said to the kneeling palace maid and eunuch, "You all get up." ”
Luo Xue and Jiang Liu got up quickly and busied themselves.
But everyone invariably focused on He Jieyu in the front room.
Luoshuang picked up the teacup and served the tea in, and met He Jieyu's gaze.
"I think this little palace maid looks good, and my sister is really bold."
What is this? Sow discord?
Yao Chuxi wouldn't believe her words.
Luoyu is still standing behind Yao Chuxi, in case He Jieyu does something, even if she gives up her life, she has to rush forward to help her master block it.
But who would have thought that some things are simply not stoppable.
"I see that my sister is pregnant with a dragon son now, I am really envious in my heart, but it's a pity that the Shucai person in Lanyue Pavilion went at a young age." He Jieyu gently pinched the lid of the teacup, skimmed the tea leaves, and raised her eyes from time to time to look at Yao Chuxi, "I think that Shu Cairen If he didn't have a stubborn disease, he wouldn't be less favored than his sister, it's a pity!" ”
Yao Chuxi didn't understand before, but then he understood, and the cups in his hand didn't hold one of them, and they fell on his legs, and the warm white water instantly wet his skirt.
"What did Jieyu just say?"
"Doesn't my sister know?" He Jieyu pretended to be innocent and said, "The Shu Cairen of Lanyue Pavilion was gone a few days ago, I thought my sister knew it, and I blamed me for being too talkative." ”
He Jieyu covered her mouth as she spoke, and she couldn't stop laughing.
While packing up the cup while falling rain, he comforted Yao Chuxi with words, which showed little effect.
Yao Chuxi staggered to his feet and walked quickly towards the door of Yunyan Pavilion.
Falling frost and falling snow hurriedly came up one by one to support Yao Chuxi.
"What did Jieyu say? Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame? Luo Yu stood up violently and said.
"How do I know what the relationship between your master and Shu Cairen is? The emperor didn't order people to talk about this, how dare you teach me a lesson? He Jieyu put down the teacup as she spoke, and said proudly, "Since Yao Cairen has something to do, then I won't bother, go back and tell your master, I'll go back first." ”
He Jieyu just walked on the front foot, and Yao Chuxi returned to Yunyan Pavilion on the back foot.
She only walked into the east hall, and then her legs collapsed to the ground.
A few people helped the master to the inner room to rest, closed the door, and pulled the rain and frost out, and asked about the matter in the Lanyue Pavilion.
"There is no one in the West Palace, Shu Cairen carried out the harem female eunuchs a few days ago, and it seems that they have been sent everywhere, and the little master has not shed tears, but just muttered Fen'er in his mouth."
Luo Yu said, "For now, wait for Han Shanggong to come back, and when she comes back to study it, you don't need to tell the emperor." ”
