Chapter 120: Something Else (1)
After Jiao Changqing said this, he looked at Meng Xilan thoughtfully, and saw that her frowning eyebrows slowly stretched, as if she had figured out something.
"My lord is right, there are too many rights and wrongs in this palace, if you have to reach out to take care of everything, you will kill yourself sooner or later." Meng Xilan's tone was slightly low.
She didn't understand her current situation, and now in the palace, she looked at her edge gradually revealed, gaining power and profit. But this favor, in the final analysis, was given by the emperor and the queen mother...... Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the father's career is still long, how long the glory and peace of the Meng family can be, it depends on the concerted efforts of the family to think about it thoroughly, and it is absolutely impossible to easily change their original plans and regenerate branches.
In life, there is a destiny. How many people can she consider? She has to take care of Zhou Youchen's "idle affairs", and she also has to take care of Zhou Youlin's "idle affairs", and now there is another Li Jieyu...... Now, she is the most favored concubine in the palace, Zhou Shixian has already spoken, as long as she can give birth to the imperial heir safely, both men and women will make her a concubine and let her live alone in a palace. That kid is obviously a good bargaining chip for her to compete for favor, but why? Why does she have musk on her body? After thinking about it, Meng Xilan only felt that she was wasting her efforts in vain! Because whatever it is, it has nothing to do with her!
"It's hard for adults to be so concerned about my safety, and I want to thank you for your reminder." Indeed, Jiao Changqing really helped her again today. Without his reminder, she would never have imagined that the scent would be musk, something that could harm people to the invisible.
Jiao Changqing looked at her, his eyes were clear: "Weichen only hopes that the princess is safe." ”
On the first day he entered the palace on an errand, his grandfather and father reminded him more than once that he should not be nosy in the palace and should not listen to gossip. He also told himself that he should be low-key and nosy. And the first "idle thing" he can manage is Meng Xilan's business.
At first, he only felt that she was a trouble that he couldn't get rid of, but then he was touched by her stubbornness in her bones, she was stubborn and smart, but she often put herself in unfathomable danger, and he always couldn't bear to see her face those difficulties and twists and turns alone. Unconsciously, stumbling all the way to the present, he has courtesy to her master and cares for her friends, but in fact, it is more of a strange feeling that is unclear and incomprehensible.
Jiao Changqing knew that Meng Xilan was very ambitious, and he didn't want to get in her way, he just wanted to rely on his medical skills and skills to protect her along the way.
As long as he saw that she was well, his heart would also be beautiful.
After Jiao Changqing left, Zhulu Zhuqing and Xiao Lizi came in one after another: "What's wrong with the master?" ”
Meng Xilan said lightly: "It's not a big deal, Zhulu, you continue to help me grind." ”
Whether it was musk or medicine, she still had to continue copying her scriptures.
In the first three days of the ceremony, the Queen Mother did not participate in it because her body was not very cool, and Queen Su was also a person who was not used to sitting on Buddhist affairs, and it was difficult to persist after sitting for a long time. And Murong Qiao is a person who loves beauty, and he has to sleep for five or six hours a day, so he naturally can't do morning classes. As a result, in order to please several mothers, the low-ranking concubines in the palace had to stay in the Buddha hall most of the day and do a lot of work.
Zhou Youning changed her way to kill the boring time every day, she couldn't do it as a needlewoman, and there were no idle books to read in the temple, except for scriptures or scriptures, and then she was really panicked, so she found a few palace maids to accompany her to catch up with Go, and she could play for most of the day when she played, but after playing for two days, she began to feel tired.
Seeing her listless appearance, Meng Xilan had an idea in her heart.
"Shall I make a paper kite for the princess?" At this time, it is spring, the spring breeze is warm, and it is the best place to play with paper kites.
When Zhou Youning heard this, he immediately clapped his hands like a child: "Good sister, I want to play." ”
Pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are all ready-made, but there is no bamboo frame to support the kite, Meng Xilan only let Gao Fuli think of a way, he has always been the most thoughtful.
Black ink on a white background, painted with some elegant landscapes, simple and simple, in one go. Anyway, it's going to be put in the sky, and it's not clear from afar.
Zhou Youning also got playful, picked up a brush, and wrote one herself with thick ink, who knew that she didn't paint, but just wrote two lines of poetry on it: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear." ”
This is Li Shangyin's poem, which describes the love between men and women.
Meng Xilan only felt that it was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly said: "Buddhism is pure, I'm afraid that such an inscription is inappropriate." ”
Zhou Youning disagreed: "It's okay, I'm going to put it in the sky to show God, just don't let those monks see it." However, my handwriting is not good-looking, so my sister came to write it. ”
It was rare to see her so happy, Meng Xilan had no choice but to nod.
Gao Welfare looked around over there, but he couldn't find anything that could be used as a support, so he had to dismantle a few large folding fans, wrap them with thin threads with fan bones, and make them smooth and neat.
Zhulu made some rice soup paste, first brushed it on the support, and then carefully pasted the painted and written paper. When the paste solidifies, the paper surface will stick firmly, and then find a spool, connect one end to the other, and you can take it out to play.
There are a lot of open spaces in the temple, Meng Xilan let go of the paper kite, one person held the line, the other held the kite, trotted all the way forward, and after a while, the paper kite was sent to the sky.
Zhou Youning didn't follow the rules, he walked and ran, and he didn't put the paper kite in the sky.
Gao Fuli also ran behind her, exhausted and panting, covered in sweat.
After tossing for a long time, the paper kite finally put it on, but it was just fluttering, as if it was going to fall down at any time.
Meng Xilan saw that she was sweating on her forehead, and hurriedly gave her her paper kite.
The two of them swapped, Meng Xilan took advantage of the wind to put the paper kite on little by little, who knows, a gust of wind came from nowhere, and the paper kite was turned, and the thread was tightened and broke in an instant.
The paper kite fell straight down, and Meng Xilan looked from afar, only to see that it had fallen all the way to the outside of the courtyard wall, and it seemed that it could not be found.
Zhou Youning was having a good time, his paper kite fell off, and he was not in a hurry, but just said coquettishly: "Sister will draw another one for me when I go back." ”
Meng Xilan nodded and agreed, and watched her play on the stone bench on the side, and when her eyes wandered, she saw two bald little monks at the corner gate quietly looking this way.
"Little Lizi." Meng Xilan smiled slightly, and only called Gao Fuli to his side and ordered: "You go and call those two little masters and let them come over to eat some cakes." ”
Gao Fuli looked at it, and he also smiled: "Hey, the slave is going." ”
When the two little monks saw someone coming, they hurriedly hid behind the door.
Gao Fuli hurriedly beckoned and smiled: "Don't go, two little masters, my master invites you to go over for a snack." ”
These two little people looked like they were only five or six years old, with a clear spirit between their eyebrows and eyes, and they were wearing gray robes, which were cleaned up, with a few small patches on them. They were all sent by their parents to become monks since they were children, they have never been out of the temple, let alone entered the capital, and when they saw Meng Xilan, they only knew that she was the female benefactor that the master said, and her status was noble, but she didn't know how noble this honor was?
Meng Xilan brought them the vegetarian dim sum brought by the palace maids, two of you, look at me, I look at you, and hesitated for a while.
"These are vegetarian meals, please eat them with confidence."
How can a child not be greedy, after persuading for a while, the two of them finally couldn't help but nod, put their hands together and saluted: "Thank you to the female donor." ”
The two of them took the pastry, ate it with their heads bored, and looked up and smiled halfway through the meal, looking satisfied.
Zhou Youning played with paper kites for most of the hour, and he didn't know that he was tired, Meng Xilan was helpless, and saw Zhuqing who came back from changing tea, and sped up his pace and said: "Master, the two ladies and Miss Xiqiao Xichu are here." ”
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this. The family came just in time, but why did Meng Xichu come with him?
After thinking about it, she didn't care about anything, and after saying hello to Zhou Youning, she went to the main gate of the temple.
The Meng family's carriage and horses had been parked, and Feng walked down with the maid's hand, looking at the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, and secretly sighed in his heart: The royal place is really extraordinary. If it weren't for Mrs. Meng's leg disease, let her steproom come forward temporarily, she was afraid that she would never have had the opportunity to come to such a good place in her life.
Meng Xiqiao did not let her mother go with her, for fear that her radicalization would miss her life's events. She got out of the carriage, first tidied up her skirt, and Meng Xichu, who was in the same car with her, also walked down, dressed in jewels, and complained with a displeased face: "It's been a bumpy road, it's really hard." ”
Meng Xiqiao glanced at her, her eyes were not cold, and she deliberately didn't say anything.
There was nothing to do with her today, but she had to follow her with a dead face. Although her grandmother didn't stop her, she also told her to keep a low profile and not to be public, but after she went out, she still redressed herself in the car, which is really hateful! Actually playing this kind of scheming!
Meng Xilan saw Erniang Feng from a distance, and couldn't help but stand still slightly, beckoning to them.
This is not as good as at home, and when the family sees her, they will also bow down according to the number of rituals.
Meng Xilan's eyes swept slightly, and she saw that her grandmother and eldest sister-in-law did not come, but there was only one more Meng Xichu, and she was dressed like this today...... It's really eye-catching.
"Everybody get up." Meng Xilan raised her hand: "This journey is tiring, you should rest first." Ming'er will go to the palace ladies again to say goodbye. ”
When Feng Shi saw her, her heart seemed to bloom, and she nodded her head along with everything she said.
Meng Xichu was a little disappointed when he heard this, he had finally dressed up, how could he not show his face.
