Chapter 273: Chu Ci

The next day, Su Ruhui got up early, rolled up her dirty clothes and looked at the wound on her leg, which was almost healed, so she ordered Xiuwan to choose two bright clothes for herself.

Xiuwan picked out a red skirt, a honey-colored dark coat, floating over to comb Su Ru's fairy bun, decorated with pearls, her arms were wrapped in red gold inlaid treasure rings, the edge of the deep clothes was very attentive, the five-color threads were intertwined and embroidered countless inches wide Fu characters, and every inch was inlaid with a pearl the size of a small thumb, but these pearls were not east pearls, but southern pearls, crystal and smooth, the color was not white, but almost light gold, and the honey color was in harmony.

This deep coat was brought into the palace from the Su family, in the past, Su Ruhui thought it was too extravagant, so she planned to wear it only at the ceremony, but Xiuwan felt that Su Ruhui would still grow a long body now, and it would be a pity if she dragged it out and didn't wear it, like the Su family, it was impossible for her daughter to wear a bigger dress.

Therefore, today when Su Ruhui said that she wanted to pick a bright dress, she immediately turned this out, for fear that she would not have the opportunity to wear it in the future.

Su Ruhui looked at the outfit in the bronze mirror and ordered, "Take that piece of Holpe." ”

Xiuwan was taken aback: "Why did Miss take that?" ”

"Originally, I said that I wanted to learn the piano with Xiuyi Niangniang, but I first injured my leg, and then I was afraid that I didn't have too much effort, so I let Xiuyi worry about it in vain, and take that to Xiuyi to play with it, which can be regarded as a table of my intentions as a bad disciple." Su Ruhua said.

He Lupei is the jade pendant with pearls embedded in the dew that Zhou Yier envied in the past, not to mention the carving, the material of the beautiful jade alone is so green that it is refreshing. Xiuwan was very reluctant, but when she thought that Liu Xiuyi was born in the Donghu Liu family, she was afraid that she would not be able to get into the idle things, so she had to dig through the box and find it out herself.

Su Ruhui opened it and looked at it, and then asked Xiuwan and Bai Lu to follow him to Lanqiu Palace: "You have to say it in person." ”

Renshou Palace is very far away from Lanqiu Palace, Su Ruhui did not ask for a soft sedan chair, went out from a remote corner gate, walked over slowly, and did not arrive near Lanqiu Palace until it was close to noon, but saw the emperor in front of the palace from afar, Su Ruhui was busy and said to the two: "Your Majesty seems to be in Lanqiu Palace, let's avoid it." ”

After about a moment, after a few holly, I saw Changtai go out of the palace gate and go away, and the direction of the emperor was not here, so Su Ruhui waited a little and walked towards the palace gate.

The little yellow door in front of the palace gate naturally knew her, and asked her to go to the main hall with a smile: "Xiuyi Niangniang was still talking about you two days ago, but Miss's injury is healed?" ”

"Master Lao is worried." Su Ruhui pursed her lips and smiled, Xiuwan hurriedly took a purse and gave it to the little yellow door, "Little father-in-law, take it for a sip of hot tea." ”

Xiao Huangmen accepted it with a smile, Su Ruhui saw that extraordinarily flattering appearance but suddenly remembered another person, she paused in her footsteps, and then walked down as if nothing happened.

The palace maid in the main hall went in to pray, and not long after, Ping'er personally greeted her: "Niangniang has been hanging for several days, and I have been annoyed that I didn't ask someone to send you back with a lantern that day, is it okay for Miss to come over now?" ”

"I was careless, but I made the master worry about it." Su Ruhui said a few polite words to her, "The master is inside?" Can I go in at this moment? I just saw His Majesty's emperor at the door, so I avoided the meeting. ”

Ping'er pursed the corners of her mouth and quietly pointed to Xu Zi's residence: "Your Majesty didn't enter the main hall, but came to see that." ”

"Oh?" Su Ruhui was a little puzzled, she just saw that the emperor did not leave but waited for a while, that is, she knew that Changtai would not stay in the Lanqiu Palace for a long time, otherwise the emperor would not stop at the gate of the palace and wait, today is not a rest, at this time it should be the court meeting has just dispersed, how could Changtai have time to run over? If it's for Liu Xiuyi, it's okay, after all, Liu Junrong's high status is not ordinary, although Xu Zi is also favored, his position is there.

There is a virtuous concubine in the palace who is sick until now, except for the initial time, Changtai is rarely seen now, Xu Zi doesn't seem to have the qualifications to let Changtai put down political affairs.

Ping'er invited her in, and whispered: "It's also the young lady who asked, the slave maid has more mouths...... The one who had been unwell since a month ago, and the mother was not in a good mood, so she had to go back to the doctor for her, and then politely send her away! This is not, but she is looking forward to it, this morning and said cough, Niangniang simply invited Yu Yuan to come over, the Tao is a happy pulse, Niangniang let people go to Xuanming Palace to tell Zhang Gonggong, His Majesty will come to see after the dispersal. ”

Su Ruhui was taken aback: "Xu Shuren is pregnant?" How long has this been? ”

"It's been exactly a month, and fortunately, Niang Niang is virtuous and invited the hospital to come for her, otherwise others may not be able to diagnose accurately at this time." Ping'er frowned and said.

At this time, the two had already entered the hall, Liu Xiuyi sat on the top and drank tea, and there were four palace maids in colorful clothes standing next to her, Su Ruhui hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Liu Xiuyi said a word, let her go to the front, looked at it, and said, "Why did you fall and get hurt?" Still hurt my leg! Su Guan didn't go back to Donghu in a blink of an eye, she was going to stay in the imperial capital until next year's draft, maybe she would stay in Beijing, are you afraid that you won't have time to give her a meeting gift? Even if you don't give it, she will go to the Wudehou Mansion to meet her, and your Su family can't escape left and right, but they are in a hurry, as if they are afraid that the master of the palace will clean you up when it is late, and they will suffer this crime! ”

Although Liu Xiuyi was reproachful, her tone revealed concern, Su Ruhui could hear it, and said with a busy smile: "It's because the apprentice is not careful when he walks, that is, he didn't ask Xiuwan to follow in advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to miss the fall." ”

"That being said, if you don't take people away, someone will help you up, and you can also call a soft sedan for you." Liu Xiuyi said, "It's a shame that you know how to bring two palace maids over today, otherwise, do you think that this palace only teaches you in piano skills?" ”

Su Ruhui said a few words with a smile, and asked Xiuwan to give herself the brocade box containing Holupei, and presented it with her own hands.

Liu Xiuyi said curiously: "What is this?" When I opened it, the blue color overflowed, and I couldn't help but praise, "Hey, it's rare to see such a good jade as the water head is the door valve, you fell and injured yourself in order to prepare a meeting gift for your niece in the palace, and now you have taken this thing over, and you will ask for something, let's say, what is the matter?" ”

"It's a bit of a fugitive." Su Ruhui was a little embarrassed, Liu Xiuyi understood, and said to the left and right, "You go down." ”

Seeing this, Xiuwan also pulled the egret to retire.

Only Ping'er was left in the hall to serve tea, and Liu Xiuyi said: "It doesn't matter to her, you just have to say it." ”

"Master, did you hear about the dinner in the Detai Hall the day before yesterday?" Su Ruhui frowned and asked.

Liu Xiuyi paused before saying, "Are you saying that the Queen Mother plans to marry you to the crown prince?" Hongu doesn't seem to be willing to look at you? Also, although the palace entered the palace later than you, I have heard the palace say that you seem to be more familiar with the king of Chu. When Liu Xiuyi said this, she also admitted that the Liu family had their own eyeliner in Renshou Palace.

"But the Queen Mother personally opened this mouth, although this palace is still a little decent in the palace because of her background in the Liu family, but this matter can't be intervened, but your family is more reliable than this palace." Liu Xiuyi didn't hide it, and said bluntly.

Su Ruhua didn't want to say much, but said: "This matter is more complicated, at that time, it was only the people of the Detai Palace who served, and the rest of the people also knew about it, so there was no news in the palace, as the master said, the apprentice ......" she clicked until she arrived, "but there is a difficulty I want to ask the master to help." She deliberately emphasized, "Although the apprentice entered the palace early, the Su family has never had a concubine, and he has been in the palace for a few years. ”

Liu Xiuyi thought for a while: "There is a limit to what this palace can do. ”

"Don't dare to drag down the master." Su Ruhui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she felt that Liu Xiuyi had a good impression of herself, this is probably because they are both the concubines of the gate valves, and they also have the intention to marry in private, don't look at the matter of Long and Concubine Qian Shu being involved in the witch Gu for eight years, and the Liu family will all be sent down, many children of the Liu family died in Jiangnan, from the avant-garde Wen Liu Wu, the Dayong harem does not know how many high-ranking concubines were born in these two gates, in the Dayong harem, and the connections in the Liushang Bureau have been passed down from generation to generation, intertwined, how can it be another witch Gu purge that can be solved?

Otherwise, Liu Xiuyi has only been in the palace for a few years, how could she have received the news of Detai Hall so quickly? Although the Queen Mother did not issue an order not to spread the word, the mouth of the Detai Hall has always been tight, this will not be overheard, you must know that the Sixth Palace is still calm. If Liu Xiuyi is willing to help with this, she is much more reliable than the queen.

She hurriedly said: "It's just that the apprentice is in the deep palace, and some news is inconvenient to pass on to the family, so I came to ask the master." ”

"It depends on what the news is." Liu Xiuyi said, "You don't have to blame the palace for standing by, ...... in the past" She frowned slightly, put aside the words behind her, and continued, "If it is a trivial matter, the palace will help you, if it will endanger the palace and the Liu family, you should understand." ”

"Please rest assured, the apprentice just wants the family to know as soon as possible what the Queen Mother said at dinner the day before yesterday." Su Ruhui groaned, "I also brought books to my mother, telling my mother that I had been looking for a long time at home, but during this time, I accidentally got it in the palace." As he spoke, he pulled out the book he had prepared from his sleeve and handed it over.

Liu Xiuyi took a look, but it was a very ordinary volume of "Chu Ci", she snorted, took it in her hand and quickly flipped through it, but saw that there was nothing abnormal in the book, not even a crease, but Liu Xiuyi is well versed in piano skills and is also a smart person, so she understood after a little thought: "Now is indeed an opportunity, but the hint that the palace can understand when you think about it, the Queen Mother may not be able to understand it, and this book actually doesn't have to be taken over, just let the Wudehou Mansion understand this meaning." In this way, when you go back later, you will say that when you come here today, you just heard that the palace will send someone out of the palace to send some things to Su Guan in the afternoon, so you ask the palace to ask your mother and sister-in-law, and the palace will let Ping'er go in person and pass on this word for you. ”

Su Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you, master!" ”

"This is a trivial matter, and this palace can help it." Liu Xiuyi's eyes were dark, "It's just ...... When you do this, remember that you don't regret it. ”

Liu Xiuyi's words seemed to have a deep meaning, Su Ruhui was a little puzzled, and was about to ask, but Liu Xiuyi lost interest in talking, and said: "Although the one in Pinglan Pavilion is not high, but you came to Lanqiu Palace today, in the end, go over and take a look, Ping'er, you go and prepare a gift casually, remember that it is not easy to be manipulated, and accompany Ruhua to go for a walk." ”

Ping'er hurriedly agreed, and Su Ruhui also retired with interest.
