Chapter 42 How can you be courteous when you have nothing to do?
On this day, Liu Yuanzhi and Qu Zhixu had lunch together in Ruan Mingting's Lotus Yi Hall before they dispersed. Although the hall is cool, but this summer afternoon there is always a feeling of not being able to lift the energy, Liu Yuanzhi returned to the Linhua Hall and went to the second room to rest for a while, and the cold moon also happened to take a leisure, squinting on the stool on the side for a while.
After Liu Yuanzhi got up from a nap, she read her son's book again, and Luping came to report that Sun Yuwei was here. Hanyue was momentarily surprised when she heard Luping's report, and then frowned unconsciously.
"What is she here for? Our Linhua Hall has never had any contact with Ninghui Palace. When Zi Mo heard Sun Yuwei's name, he was very resistant in his heart. Liu Yuanzhi also looked at Han Yue suspiciously, and there seemed to be an inquiry in her eyes.
Han Yue pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what she wants, but since she Sun Yuwei dares to come so swaggeringly, she probably won't do anything." Let's go, let's go out with the little master and have a look. ”
Sun Yuwei saw that Han Yue helped Liu Yuanzhi to the main hall, so she got up and saluted. Today, she changed her domineering appearance in the past, and said with a smile, "Sister Liu." Her sister shouted that Hanyue and several people felt really uncomfortable, as if they had goosebumps.
Liu Yuanzhi waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down and speak, "I don't know what is the important thing for Sun Baolin to come today?" ”
Seeing Liu Yuanzhi's cold look, Sun Yuwei couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved on her face, and said flatteringly, "Sister, everything before was my sister's, isn't it, it's my sister who offended my sister without reason, my sister now knows that it's wrong, and I hope that sister, you've forgiven your sister a lot." After Sun Yuwei finished speaking, she looked at Liu Yuanzhi very sincerely.
"My sister knows that my sister has a lot of treasures, but this is a little bit of my sister's heart, and I hope that my sister will accept it, and it should be my sister's reparation." Sun Yuwei signaled, and the maidservant girl behind her came forward with a tray, and the plate was full of some gold and jade jewelry.
The nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, how can a person like Sun Yuwei easily change his temperament and come to seek peace? Han Yue always looked at Sun Yuwei coldly from the side, her eyes roamed over Sun Yuwei's face, as if she wanted to see something from her face.
Liu Yuanzhi also felt the same way in her heart, she remained silent, and the cold look on her face softened slightly, "I already know what Sun Baolin means, it would be good for Baolin to think like this, but these jewelry still ask Baolin to take it back." ”
Sun Yuwei's face turned anxious when she heard this, "Sister, is this unwilling to be the original sister?" If my sister is really willing to forgive my sister, then please ask my sister to accept her sister's heart. ”
Liu Yuanzhi paused for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll take it." ”
Seeing this, Sun Yuwei immediately became overjoyed, looking sincere and innocent, "By the way, Sister Liu, my sister heard that the Lingxiao flowers on the west bank of the Taiye Pond have bloomed, and the flowers are gorgeous, like a red waterfall, which is very pleasing to the eye." I wonder if my sister is interested in accompanying my sister tomorrow morning? ”
Liu Yuanzhi never thought that Sun Yuwei would say this, she was a little stunned all of a sudden, and she was worried that Sun Yuwei's purpose was impure, so she hesitated for a long time and did not speak.
Han Yue looked at Sun Yuwei, with a smile in her eyes, and said to Liu Yuanzhi, "Forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, little master, weren't you talking about going to see that Ling Xiaohua a few days ago?" Now that Sun Baolin is invited, it is excellent, and there is no need to worry about no one to accompany him. ”
Sun Yuwei glanced at Han Yue in surprise, she didn't expect Han Yue to speak for her. But on second thought, it's normal. She only felt that Hanyue was with her master, and since the master didn't mind, she didn't dare to hold a grudge against a servant. In this way, Sun Yuwei didn't think about it.
Liu Yuanzhi was a little puzzled when she heard this, why did she say these words? But after thinking about it, it became clear that when Han Yue said this, it implied that she agreed to Sun Yuwei's invitation. Although she didn't know why Hanyue was like this, she believed that Hanyue must have a reason for saying this.
Liu Yuanzhi understood, and said with a smile, "Since Baolin sincerely invited, then I will accompany you." ”
"Then tomorrow morning, my sister will be waiting for my sister by the pool, and my sister will rest today, so my sister will not bother, and she will retire first." After Sun Yuwei finished speaking, she left with her maidservant.
After Sun Yuwei left, the gentleness in Han Yue's eyes also dissipated, and she stared at the direction of Sun Yuwei's departure, thoughtful.
"Miss, why did you believe her words so easily! Little master, you too, why did you agree like this! Zi Mo said, looking quite anxious, "The slave must be going to be a moth when she looks at her." ”
Han Yue's eyes were a little condensed, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Sun Yuwei is so abnormal, I naturally won't believe her." It's just that if the little master doesn't agree to her invitation, then she will definitely think of other ways to come out, and she doesn't know how to entangle and toss at that time. Since she likes acting, let's play with her and see what she has to do. ”
Han Yue pondered for a moment and continued, "As for tomorrow's invitation, the little lord must go, but before that, little lord, we have to go to a place first and ask someone to help." ”
The three of them came out of the Juqi Hall of Yongning Palace in the evening when they were holding the lamp, and they saw that the sunset was about to set, leaving only a small half of the orange disc still hanging in the sky, and the clouds in the sky were dyed with red, orange or yellow, gorgeous like a brocade. After a while, the sky gradually became gray, as if a drop of ink had dripped into the watery sky, and the dark ink slowly blurred, staining the entire sky.
The evening breeze is blowing, the shadows of the trees are sufficient, and the night has come.
"Miss, why don't we go to Shen Zhaoyi? After all, the little lord saved the ten princes. Zi Mo asked puzzled.
"It is precisely because of this incident that you can't find Shen Zhaoyi, so as not to tell the truth. Comparatively speaking, this Jin Zhaoyuan, who has nothing to do with the little master in the eyes of outsiders, is just the most suitable. Cold Moon explained.
Zi Mo immediately smiled knowingly, "Yes, the slave understands." ”
"Yue'er, you always think so thoughtfully." Liu Yuan Zhiguan Road.
After sunset, the heat gradually dissipated, and the evening breeze blew with a hint of floral fragrance on her face, which made Liu Yuanzhi feel a little good, she turned to Hanyue and Zi Mo and said, "Didn't Sun Yuwei say that the Lingxiao flowers on the west bank are blooming, take advantage of the present, let's go and have a look first." ”
A little twilight accompanied by the soft light of the glazed palace lamp, the Taiye Pond seems very quiet, only the sound of the lake gently rippling.
"Who? Come out! What's here? Zi Mo was strolling on the path with Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi, but he was startled by the people hiding behind the bushes, Zi Mo asked sternly, and protected Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi behind him.
The people behind the bushes came out of it tremblingly, she saw Liu Yuanzhi, her legs were weak, and she immediately knelt on the ground, "Liu Cairen spares his life, Liu Cairen spares his life." He shuddered as he spoke.
The three of them couldn't help but wonder when they looked at the little palace maid who was so frightened. Liu Yuanzhi asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Slave, slave, today is the death day of the slave and maid's mother, and the slave just wants to burn some paper money for the mother here, and beg the little master to spare her life." After the little palace maid finished speaking, she kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice.
The rules of the Dayue Palace stipulate that no one in the palace is allowed to secretly sacrifice, and those who violate it will be beheaded. This little palace maid deliberately chose to burn paper money here after sunset, presumably at this time on weekdays, there is no one here, but today I never thought of meeting them. was hit by someone and committed such a murderous crime, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul.
When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, she also felt pity in her heart, and sighed lightly, "You are also a piece of filial piety, but the palace rules are always there, you finish it earlier, pack up and go back, it will not be good if the patrolling guards see it." After speaking, he left with Han Yue and Zi Mo first.
The little palace maid thought that she would not be able to escape the death penalty today, but she did not expect to receive amnesty, and she couldn't help but be grateful, she kept kowtowing and thanking her, until she couldn't see Liu Yuanzhi and the others.
Not far behind a few people, Nangong Xuan, who happened to witness everything, smiled. For a long time, the masters in the palace have regarded the lives of slaves and maids as mustard, but they didn't expect that there would be such a different woman.
"Lord, the palace gate is about to be keyed, why don't you leave quickly." The servant beside Nangong Xuan said. Nangong Jingfu glanced at it again and said, "Let's go." ”
On the second day, Liu Yuanzhi arrived with the cold moon and Zi Mo as promised, and she saw from a distance that Sun Yuwei was already waiting at the exit of the trail. I saw Sun Yuwei combing a spirit snake bun today, wearing a gilt hairpin and a flower hairpin, and wearing a royal blue embroidered peony palace costume, looking very delicate.
Sun Yuwei saw Liu Yuanzhi coming, her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to greet her very affectionately, "Sister Liu, you can be regarded as coming, my sister is still worried about whether my sister will not come." ”
Liu Yuanzhi gently shook the ivory handle yarn in her hand and piled up the silk embroidered butterfly fan, and suddenly smiled, "How come, since I promised my sister, then I will definitely not miss the appointment." ”
"Sister, that Lingxiao flower is not far ahead. I don't think it's cool today, why don't we take a walk by the lake? Sun Yuwei said, her eyes seemed to be very expectant.
Liu Yuanzhi narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay." ”
Fang walked through a small forest, and Sun Yuwei suddenly exclaimed, "Oops, my handkerchief is lost." ”
"Oh? Lost your veil? Then let's go back and find it the way we came. Liu Yuanzhi said, turning around to leave, Sun Yuwei suddenly reached out and grabbed her. Liu Yuanzhi turned her head and stared at Sun Yuwei with some inquiring eyes, Sun Yuwei put down her hand, smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "How can you bother my sister with such things, just let the slaves and maids find it." ”
As she spoke, Sun Yuwei instructed the maid Yanfu beside her to take a group of palace people to look for it, and then looked at Han Yue and Zi Mo who were following Liu Yuanzhi, and said to Liu Yuanzhi, "Sister, you see that this liquid pool is so big, I'm afraid that the palace people are not enough, can my sister borrow my sister's people?" ”
Han Yue knew in her heart, she estimated what this Sun Yuwei was going to do, but the expression on her face was still the same, "Little master, the slave maid and Zi Mo also go to help find it." Saying this, he walked away with Zi Mo, but the two of them deliberately slowed down.
Seeing that everyone had walked away, Sun Yuwei pulled Liu Yuanzhi and took a few steps forward, stopping by the lake. At this time, she suddenly turned her head to look at Liu Yuanzhi, showed a weird smile, and then exclaimed loudly, "Sister, why are you pushing me?" Ah......" After saying that, she fell backwards and made a huge splash on the surface of the lake. Sun Yuwei was desperately thrashing in the water, shouting without a word, "Help...... Help me...... I'm not going to be a fool...... Help......"
At this time, Yanfu suddenly rushed out from the side, was shocked when she saw this scene, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Come on, come on, Sun Baolin has fallen into the water." "The palace people who were sent to find the veil before all rushed to hear the sound, and there happened to be two of the servants brought by Sun Yuwei who knew how to water, and they jumped down to save Sun Yuwei.
