The leading eunuch in front stopped when he reached the main hall, looked up at the plaque, and turned to the right.

Jiang Liu also followed him.

I thought that Concubine De would be in the main hall, but the facts told Jiang Liu that it was not.

"Niangniang thinks that the main hall is not warm, and most of the time she stays in the left hall, and the right hall is where Niangniang sleeps." The leading eunuch said as he walked.

Jiang Liu laughed behind him.

The eunuch said again, "Just now He Jieyu and Gao Shunyi came, Niangniang met them in the main hall, you came, Niangniang called you to go to the side hall to talk, presumably because you like Yao Meiren." ”

Jiang Liu agreed twice, thinking the same in his heart.

It's obvious that only people who don't want to see will talk where they don't want to go.

"Little brother, why did I see Jiang Zhaoyi just now? Didn't she come? Jiang Liu asked.

The little eunuch stopped and looked back at him, "Jiang Zhaoyi?" No, only Gao Shunyi and He Jieyu came. ”

"That's weird." Jiang Liu muttered quietly.

In front of the side hall, a palace maid came out, Jiang Liu recognized her, her name was Shuhuai, and there was a palace maid named Shuyuan.

The eunuch who led the way whispered a few words to Shuhuai, and when he saw Shuhuai nodding, he looked at Jiang Liu, "You go in." ”

Jiang Liu hurriedly agreed, said a few kind words to the eunuch, and hurriedly followed Shuhuai in.

"The slave greets Concubine De Niangniang!"

Jiang Liu didn't dare to look at Concubine De, maybe he was a little nervous when he entered Ningshou Palace, and he kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.

"Get up." Concubine De said with a smile.

Jiang Liuzhan was tremblingly helped up by Shuhuai, and saw another palace maid named Shuyuan move a dark four-legged stool.

Where does he dare to sit? This is not a back garden, this is Ningshou Palace! Concubine De has every right to execute him here, and she doesn't even have to say a word to her master.

"Please." Shurim motioned for him to sit down on a stool.

Jiang Liu hurriedly waved his hand, and was afraid of messing up the rules, and then stood up, "The little master instructed that he would deliver things to Concubine De and return to Yingxue Pavilion, don't stay too long, I'm worried that the slaves will make trouble for Concubine De." ”

"What's the mess about that?" Concubine De smiled very brightly, pointed at Jiang Liu and said, "Sit down, if you don't sit today, don't leave." ”

Although Jiang Liu knew that she was joking, it was not easy to sit down, so he sat up with half of his buttocks, as if he was going to stand up at any time.

"Afraid of what?" Concubine De smiled again, "Don't be afraid, this palace can't do anything to you." ”

"The slave sits on the stool in the mother's palace, this... Unruly. Jiang Liuzhi said.

"It's not in order." Concubine De continued, "But the rules are set for those disobedient palace people, this stool is rewarded by the palace for you to sit on, if you don't sit, don't you disobey the orders of the palace?" ”

Jiang Liu's head turned, as if it was such a reason, and he sat down with peace of mind.

Shuhuai took the box in Jiang Liu's hand and handed it to Concubine De.

"This palace is thinking about the flower tea in Yingxue Pavilion, Yao Meiren's hands and feet are really fast, I just muttered a sentence a little before, and I sent it to you today."

"The little master is afraid that you are in a hurry, and he urged the slave to hurry up, and almost bumped into Jiang Zhaoyi's sedan chair on the way here." Jiang Liu smirked and said, "I don't have to bump into it, otherwise I'm afraid that the minions won't be able to withstand a few lives." ”

"Wait." Concubine De frowned after hearing what he said, "Who did you just say?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, Jiang Zhaoyi."

Concubine De glanced at Shuhuai silently, and then looked back at Jiang Liu, as if she was saying to Jiang Liu, she was actually saying to Shuhuai Shuyuan, "Two days after tomorrow, I said that the palace was not comfortable, and those who wanted to come to Ningshou Palace were all blocked outside and closed doors." ”

"Yes, sissy." Shuhuai replied.

Jiang Liu was scared again, and raised his head to meet Concubine De's eyes.

"Don't be afraid." Concubine De smiled again, "Jiang Zhaoyi is afraid that she is going to come to the palace to talk about things today, but the palace knows the purpose of their coming, so it's okay not to listen." ”

"Yes, yes, the mother is in charge." Jiang Liu said.

Shuyuan brought a cup of tea, Jiang Liu didn't refuse, and drank it all in a big gulp.

After walking such a long way, Jiang Liu can be said to be cold and thirsty, and a cup of hot tea at this time is like a life-saving straw.

Besides, it is very common for the master to enjoy hot tea in winter, if any palace person goes to whose palace to do business and does not drink a cup of reward tea, he will have to say some ugly words when he turns around. Something like: 'This Qiu Yun Pavilion Xia Cai is too picky?' I didn't even give a cup of tea, and my feet were numb from the cold. "What's more" Baihua Pavilion is not a place for us to do business, I will help the little master to go to Baihua Pavilion to deliver things, and I don't even appreciate a cup of hot tea and I am still sarcastic in that mouth, Luo Meiren, she really thinks she is favored at that time? ’

These words were all spoken to Jiang Liu by the eunuchs of other courtyards.

The same is true of the east and west palaces, which can be said to be more than the back garden.

Of course, the eunuchs of the back garden rarely could say a few bad words about which master of the east and west palaces.

Except for those in Yingxue Pavilion, the rest of the eunuchs in the back garden couldn't get close to Ning Shou Palace at all, and most of them couldn't even get out of the back garden.

Only in the back garden, it is more convenient for the palace people in each courtyard to do things with each other, and it is common for the master to reward a cup of inexpensive tea.

Jiang Liu didn't have any psychological burden on this cup of tea, and after drinking a cup, Shuyuan added a little more to him.

After drinking tea, he said a few more polite words, and Concubine De asked Shuhuai to take some gifts to Jiang Liu, and asked him to take them back to Yingxue Pavilion to send Yao Chuxi.

It's a pity that Yao Chuxi is not a person who can appreciate paintings, and this scroll was spread on the square table after it was taken to Yingxue Pavilion.

"This wild goose is really well drawn." Yao Chuxi looked at the painting carefully, "It's like the real thing, I feel like it's about to fly." ”

Luo Xue smiled beside her, after all, she was also a rough person, and she didn't see anything else except that she thought the painting was good.

Han Shanggong also came over and looked at the painting carefully, "It's really good, this wild goose painting is beautiful and beautiful, I'm afraid that the painter is exquisite and inky, but it's a rare painting." ”

Yao Chuxi turned his head and called Jiang Liu, "Concubine De Niangniang has broken the bill this time, have you paid attention to the rules?" ”

"Back to the little master, how dare the slave not pay attention to the rules? I was almost scared, so I didn't dare to accept it, and then I saw that Concubine De insisted on sending it, so I had to take it back. ”

Yao Chuxi glanced at the words and sighed slightly, "A box of flower tea, in exchange for a painting, isn't Concubine De a big loss this time?" ”

"How can it?" Han Shanggong said, "Although this painting is quite precious, the little master's flower tea is not bad." ”

"Why did Han Shanggong say that?"

Han Shanggong smiled: "That flower tea is all picked and made by yourself, the little master, the important thing is your heart." ”

Yao Chuxi knew that Han Shanggong was comforting her, so she turned her head and ordered Luoyu, "Hang up, be careful, don't break it." ”

Luo Yu was about to take the painting into the inner room, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked, "Little master, you already have a painting in the inner room that the emperor appreciated, is it appropriate to hang this painting in it?" ”

Yao Chuxi then remembered that the painting in the house was also a wild goose, and I was afraid that the two would be a little bad when hung together.

"Then hang it in this house, it looks very bright, and it's not good to hang it with the emperor's paintings."

"Yes, little lord."

After the rain hung up the painting, Yao Chuxi really looked at it.

The wild goose in this painting is a wild goose, still not flying, standing on a stone and turning around to clamp its own hair.

The picture that the emperor rewarded in the house was two flying geese, one in front and one behind, like a pair of lovers.

Yao Chuxi suddenly felt a little melancholy, and sat down with Luoxia's hand.

"What's wrong with the little master? Eat some fruit? ”

Yao Chuxi waved her hand and motioned for her to keep quiet.

Luo Xia also closed her mouth, and her eyes followed Yao Chuxi to look at the painting.

"I remember that in autumn the geese will fly south, right?"

"Well, why did the little master remember to ask this?" Luo Xia asked a little puzzled.

Yao Chuxi's eyes flickered a little, and he said in a low voice, "I remember that when I didn't enter the palace, I had a good time with a girl named Jingxue from the neighborhood." ”

Luoxia listened quietly on the side.

"It seemed to be autumn at that time, and we went to the lake to play, and we happened to meet a few geese, which seemed to be resting on the surface of the lake, some were clamping their hairs, and some were drinking water." Yao Chuxi took his eyes off the painting and continued, "I didn't want to disturb them, but I didn't stop Jingxue, she threw stones at the wild goose and injured a wild goose that was not too big, as if it was just born." ”

Luo Xia seemed to know what was going on, but she still looked at her master intently.

"A few of the larger geese flew up in an instant, hovering over the surface of the lake, and kept chirping. The mother of the injured goose stayed by her child's side, trying to make it fly. ”

"And then?" Luo Xia noticed that her master's eyes were already wet.

"Later..."Yao Chuxi's eyes looked out, "Later, Jingxue pulled me away, I don't know if the wild goose flew in the end, it was buried in my heart, and it was uncomfortable to think about it all these years." ”

Luo Xia handed the handkerchief over, and Yao Chuxi took it and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I've been wondering why Jingxue is like this, but I haven't been able to figure it out, in my impression she has always been a very kind and gentle person, why would she do that kind of thing?"

"People always become little masters." Luo Xia grabbed her master's hand.

Yao Chuxi looked down at her and barely squeezed out a smile, "Blame me for being soft-hearted." ”

All day, Yao Chuxi's mood was not very good, and he still wanted to take the painting away when it rained, but his master didn't let him.

She said, just hang there, watch it all the time, so as to remind me not to forget the kindness of the beginning.

Princess Shuying has already entered the palace, and it can be seen from the busy dining room in the morning that Yuan Shaoyu has made a lot of dishes this time, and it seems that the emperor is planning to welcome this princess well.

Knowing that the emperor would not come, Yao Chuxi looked for something to do in Yingxue Pavilion by himself.
