Chapter 32: Magnolia
Linlang said: "Did she say something to you to provoke the relationship between us?" ”
Jing Yu asked rhetorically, "You intercede for me in front of her?" ”
Linlang shook her head like a drum and said, "Sister would rather listen to her?" ”
Jing Yu calmed down for a moment, knowing that Concubine Hui's words could not be trusted, but Linlang also made her a little messy, so she said, "Let's talk about it later." ”
Seeing that she was leaving, Linlang stepped forward again and pulled, "Why did my sister save Hazel?" She was not only instructed by An Concubine to confuse the emperor, but also poisoned the prince in my womb, didn't you think about me? ”
Who knew that before Jing Yu could speak, Guo Guiren suddenly dragged her aside.
Seeing that it was her, Linlang's eyes widened, and she said, "What's the matter with you!" ”
Guo Guidao: "Don't worry, I don't know anything, and it's none of my business, but I just don't want to see Jing Yu being bullied." ”
Jing Yu was actually puzzled, Guo Guiren was not familiar with her before, but for some reason, he came out several times to throw olive branches to her.
She understood in her heart, but after all, she didn't know much about her, so she stepped forward and said, "Thank you, sister, but after all, this is a matter between me and Wei Guiren, and I will make it clear to her." ”
Seeing that Jing Yu didn't seem to want her to interfere, Guo Guiren stopped talking.
Jing Yu walked up to Linlang and said, "You and my grandfather and Ama have official positions, although they are not as good as the young lady of your family, but they are also worry-free, I don't know what it is like for Hazel and her mother to live under the fence." ”
Linlang followed her words and thought that Hazel was the daughter of a house slave of the Linghai family.
"The Linghai family has a solid background, and they are not thin for them, so they can't talk about hardship." She said.
"That's just the surface." Jing Yu said: "In fact, her mother has been occupied by the sea cucumber leader for many years and has been humiliated, and her father swallowed his anger and drank heavily to drown his sorrows. The younger brother, who was born with a leg disease, finally said that it was a family matter, and the next dowry money and the repair of the new house fell on her. At that time, her father began to gamble again and owed a large amount of gambling debts. That time, she would rather sacrifice her life to test medicine for the Empress Dowager, just to get a rich reward. ”
Linlang's sharp eyes softened a little at first, and she listened to her silently.
"She came to me crying at the time, saying that she thought that the emperor would reward her with money, and that the royal gift could not be bought and sold, so she could only watch her brother's family affairs fall apart again. I pooled a sum of money to arrange for her brother's in-laws, but because of lack of money, her father was beaten to death by debt collectors. ”
Since then, she has blamed her father's death entirely on herself. Jing Yu said: "Until now, most of her share of the silver has also been sent to help her mother and younger brother. ”
She took the treasure box in Yue Yao's hand and said, "This is the wishful thinking she got in exchange for risking her life, and now it is the only hope that can save her life." ”
Linlang said: "Even so, she has no reason to harm others!" ”
"She shouldn't have tried to harm the child in your womb, but fortunately, the matter was exposed by you and failed to cause a catastrophe, and I helped her clear her of the blame that should not have belonged to her," she said, "and only this time." ”
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Wei knew that it would be useless to stop her, and when he saw her go to the Qianqing Palace, his mood plummeted, his face was dark, and he dropped the tea bowl when he returned to the house.
Qiu Yue trembled and shrunk the broken porcelain, and said carefully: "Little master, you have the support of the concubine and the prince, even if the precious person comes out, it will be difficult to compete with you!" ”
Linlang glanced at her and said, "Do you think I'll be so angry with Hazel?" I'm angry that Jing Yu is like a sister to me on the surface, and in private, she has never been on my side! ”
Kangxi saw things and remembered things, and Kai'en summoned Hazel to move back to Yongshou Palace.
Since An Concubine is dead, Linlang should have moved back to Yongshou Palace a long time ago, but now because Zhen'er is also going back, she stayed for two days.
Ben adjusted his mentality and felt a little pity and sympathy for Hazel, but when he saw her, he unconsciously became a little hostile.
The two palaces coincidentally moved back one day, the palace people went in and out to move things, Linlang stepped forward from time to time to command, and Hazel deliberately hid in an inconspicuous corner to avoid Linlang's sight.
Wei's eyes on Hazel's actions showed that she was somewhat afraid of herself, but she was more relieved.
This night, Jing Yu came over to have a look.
"The layout of the east side hall is more elaborate than that of the west side." She said.
"The concubine Niangniang forgives me for being pregnant and called moving to the east side of the palace, in fact, I am quite accustomed to living in the west, it is nothing more than in a palace, since the mother has ordered, it is not easy to refuse." Linlang said.
The last time the show girl first entered the palace and assigned a residence, it was arranged by Concubine Hui, and then Tong Jia's family made a slight adjustment. For such a trivial matter as emigration, it should also be the concubine who decides. But no matter who it is, Linlang deliberately took it out to talk about it, just to deliberately put aside the close relationship with Concubine Hui.
"My sister is busy with Hazel's business, and she still has time to come to me." Linlang's words were thorny, and it seemed that the anger had not subsided, and if she continued, she might break up unhappily, so Jing Yu planned to retire, but she heard a report from Camellia that a precious person had arrived.
Wei didn't want to see it, and he was afraid that the word would spread and people would say that she was careful, so he let her in.
"I've seen my sister." Hazel forced out an unnatural smile and said.
Living in the same house, the face exchange needs to be taken into account, and after she lives in the courtyard, she should come to meet with Wei first. Originally, she was almost busy in the afternoon, but she was afraid of Linlang's cold posture towards her, so she didn't leave for a long time, and when she heard that Jing Yu was coming, she couldn't stop coming.
Linlang shook off a smile and said, "There is only some work left to clean up and sweep, and there is no hurry to do it slowly in the past few days." Glancing at her, he said, "My sister is from the cold palace, and there are three or four missing, I'm afraid I'll have to be busy for a while, right?" ”
Hazel's face twitched, and she said, "The palace was originally fully prepared, and my sister's daily use is simple, and it's almost the same." ”
Jing Yu said: "My sister was reluctant to throw away old things and sundries in the past, and now don't keep them, don't say it, it's messy and occupies space, the old doesn't go to the new one, the past is just let it pass." ”
Hazel nodded in response.
Looking at Linlang's reaction again, his face was cold, he didn't say no, smiled, and said, "Sister, what I said is really disagreeable!" For example, if you hit it and pull it out, the hole is still alive, how can you say that there is no none? ”
"The nail is hard to use, and if you have to pull it out, it will leave a wound, so whatever you think is up to your sister." She had the intention of retiring, so she said: "My sister is tired today, so I won't bother much, rest early, and talk about it another day." ”
When Hazel saw that she was leaving, she was also anxious, and hurriedly got up and said, "My sister has also retired, my sister should rest early!" ”
Linlang watched them go out of the hall one after the other, and said coldly: "Save her, sooner or later you will regret it!" ”
Hazel has no concubine's protection, and there will be no more Kangxi's patronage, since moving back to Yongshou Palace, it is also as Jing Yu expected, honest and tight, except for occasionally doing some needlework to send to Xinghui Pavilion, and then talk to her, and do not stay for a long time, and on weekdays, it is basically not out of the door.
As for Linlang's side, it was too late to hide, and he rarely moved.
On this day, I embroidered a handkerchief and sent it over, Jing Yu looked at the magnolia diagram of the famous embroiderer Wang Guxiang, with the technique of Suzhou embroidery, the needle is exquisite, the thread is smooth, and the broken branch is the use of a lot of long and short needle techniques, very simulated, look at it from a distance, as if the two magnolias jumped on the silk satin.
"How many handkerchiefs did my sister deliver? The plum blossoms alone have wax plums, jade plums, green plums, the last time was embroidered with fish play lotus, this time it is magnolia, and it is almost time to get together the hundred flowers. Jing Yu said.
"My sister can also give it as a gift if she can't use it, and it's good to give it to her subordinates, don't dislike it." Hazel said: "Only this one, my sister is good to keep it, sister, you see," she cut the corner of the veil, pointed to her, and whispered to her: "This is the best dragon silk, and it was only after tossing and turning that I asked someone to get it outside the palace, and my sister's handkerchief is the only one in the harem." ”
"Actually, the existing Su Aya and Guang Aya in the palace are good, why bother tossing and turning for a handkerchief, if you are discovered, you will have to cause trouble." Jing Yu said.
Hazel smiled silently, but her face seemed to have something on her mind.
The two of them were admiring the smart and colorful magnolia cloth embroidered here, and suddenly heard a commotion outside, followed by a group of guards rushed in, led by Long Keduo, who shook his head and said: "Search the palace by the order of the noble concubine Niangniang, the little lord is not impatient." ”
The group of people who followed had already rushed inside, and the sharp-eyed lieutenant noticed the handkerchief in Jing Yu's hand, so he called Lord Tong to come and see.
Roncodo stepped forward to take the handkerchief and looked at her in disbelief, his eyes full of complexity.
"I'm sorry," Long Keduo said, "The minister wants to take it back to his life." "I hesitated for a moment before saying it, but in front of so many people, it was impossible to cover it up, so I left suddenly.
