Chapter 80: Rumors
At the beginning of July, there was a severe drought in the world.
Many crops have not been harvested, the people are struggling to make a living, and many disaster victims have even emerged on some lands in the south.
Emperor Yin and the Empress dressed up and went to the Deyin Hall to pray for rain.
Inside the crape myrtle pavilion.
Concubine Feng's body became heavier and heavier, and she became more and more lazy, and the weather was hot, she was lazy all day long, lying on the couch and being too lazy to move.
Imperial Doctor Zhou came to ask for a pulse every day.
"The mother is at ease, and the pulse is safe."
She looked at the scorching sun, and said faintly worried: "It hasn't rained for almost two months, I heard that the people are complaining, and the emperor ordered my father to go to the south to preside over the relief of the victims, and I don't know what happened......
As soon as she finished speaking, she clutched her stomach and screamed.
"Hui'er!"
"What's wrong, mother? But what's uncomfortable? ”
The maidservant came in a hurry, but Concubine Feng's face was calm, mixed with a hint of confusion and panic.
"I didn't ...... It's okay", she gently stroked her belly, "It's strange, just a stomach...... Obviously, it stinged, why didn't I feel anything now? ”
Concubine Feng firmly grabbed the handmaiden's hand.
"Hongu has been flustered lately."
Listening to her master's words, Hui'er smiled mysteriously.
"What are you laughing at?"
She looked towards the door of the hall, and then it was attached to Concubine Feng's ear, and her voice was extremely low.
"Don't worry, the slave has already asked Imperial Doctor Zhou, the ...... in your womb But what a little prince! ”
The man on the couch looked up suddenly.
There was a hint of disbelief in the flowing eyes, in surprise. She grabbed the maidservant's arms, her eyes full of excitement.
"Are you serious?"
"Congratulations Niangniang, it's true!"
"Great...... Concubine Feng closed her eyes in relief, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed silently, "God bless!" The sin of letting this palace conceive in October was not in vain......"
After the excitement, she touched her lower abdomen, and suddenly her face sank.
"Hui'er, grind! This palace is repairing a book at the moment, you take the waist card, and send it to your brother in person, remember, no one can't do it, you must send it to your brother's hands, and you must not make a mistake halfway! ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
As he spoke, the flower paper was spread out on the couch.
July 5th.
The wind howls angrily, and it rains heavily.
Si Tianjian watched the sky at night, but it was a sign of great disaster!
The palace has been exposed to the sun for a long time, the heat is unbearable, the masters rely on the ice to survive, and the subordinates are miserable, so they can only drink more mung bean soup.
At this moment, seeing the rain falling from the sky, the minions were all chattering and gathering excitedly in one place.
"Looking at it this way, this year's begging festival will not be able to be celebrated."
Hearing this regret, the person next to him laughed at the man.
"You still think about the begging festival, and now this person can't live happily, and he looks at your little lover...... How good is that! ”
"Okay, dead hoof, you know how to laugh at me!"
As he spoke, there was a sound of chasing under the porch.
"Hey, you've heard......"
"Si Tianjian made a statement to the emperor, saying that although this rain is a rain, it is very strange, I am afraid that it is ominous!"
"Really? I've heard about ...... too."
Another palace man looked around, stood in the middle of these people, and whispered, "The person who said it is the one who is now in Ziwei Pavilion!" ”
"Shhh
"If this is known by the eunuch, it will be punished! Disperse, disperse, I have to be on duty tonight, those palace lights on the corridor...... But they all have to be put back in the palm of their hands. ”
……
Hearing this warning, the crowd dispersed.
And behind the pillars not far away, there stood a girl in a lake-green palace dress, holding a small white porcelain dish in her arms, presenting a mung bean cake that had just been made in the inner court.
The man's expression was faint.
When everyone had dispersed, she walked out cautiously with small steps, turned the corridor, picked a farther path, and quietly left.
The west hall of the Qionghua Palace.
Qi was half-lying on the beauty couch, pinching the newly bloomed rouge flowers left and right, stretching out his five fingers, and engrossed in the dyeing, looking very focused.
Hearing footsteps in the hall, she glanced at it quickly.
"I told you to take a mung bean cake, why did you go for so long?"
The handmaid kept her head down.
"There was thunder on the road, and the slave was afraid, so she stopped and hid for a while."
Hearing this, the person on the couch sneered: "With this little thunder, you can be afraid of being like this, and you are too bold!" ”
Guan Yan never spoke.
She found a porcelain plate carved with begonias, served the mung bean cake to rice, and carefully placed it on the coffee table.
"Niangniang, the mung bean cake you want."
The man standing looked a little uneasy.
The man on the couch squinted his eyes, and his tone was puzzled and harsh.
"What? Do you have something? ”
"No...... Not...... It's okay......"
"Humph!"
Looking at his gorgeous nails, Qi was very satisfied.
"Do you know how Guan Tong died?" She suddenly raised her head, stared at the person in front of her, and her tone was suddenly fierce, "It was because I was dishonest that I was executed by the emperor!" ”
"Mother's ......"
Guan Yan knelt down with a "bang".
"You...... Don't frighten the slave, the slave is loyal to you and has no selfish intentions. ”
"What's that? Speak up and tell me. ”
Seeing that he could not disobey, Guan Yan said all the words he heard on the palace porch.
"You're telling the truth?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi sat up suddenly, the mung bean cake in his hand was not held steady, and it fell to the ground with a 'huff'.
Those beautiful eyes shone brightly, and they couldn't hide their excitement.
The man of the earth hung his head lower.
"What the slave and maid have heard with their own ears is true, and they will never dare to deceive their masters."
In just an instant, those beautiful eyes were fully revealed, and they smiled evilly, adding a bit of pride and ruthlessness compared to Fang Cai. After she muttered for a while, she suddenly had a plan.
"Here, grind for me!"
"I'm going to repair the book to my father in person, a dead slut, she dared to slap me in public, I didn't knock her down last time, this time see where she escapes!"
"Master, this ...... You're still grounded, isn't that okay? ”
"What's the matter!"
Qi Shi turned his head, and in his excited eyes, in the blink of an eye, a trace of anger floated.
"I can't get out, but you can! But the ugly words are ahead, if you leak the slightest bit of news, don't think about living! ”
The girl was shocked.
"The slave didn't dare...... Slaves don't dare to ......"
"Grind it!"
Qi picked up the mung bean cake on the coffee table and smashed it all at the people on the ground.
"It's annoying to look at it! I see that you and that dead ghost are just a pair of sisters......" she threw "The Female Rule" on the case, "before dark, finish copying this for me." ”
The sharp gaze flashed.
The bodies of the people on the earth were all broken mung bean cakes. Touching that glimmer of sight, she lowered her head more and more.
"Yes...... The slave and maid know. ”
As he was talking, in the upper corner of the palace city, a burst of thunder sounded, as if carrying the rolling anger of the heavens, "bang", smashing a corner of the temple to pieces.
"Ah......h
"It's out of water...... Walked the water......"
"Hurry up and put out the fire...... Walked the water......"
A distant commotion rang out.
Qi Shi was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and frowned slightly. After a long time, she turned her head and looked at the maidservant.
"Where is the voice?"
Hearing the master's question, Guan Yan also walked over quickly and looked at the window for a while.
"Back to the master, this seems to be ...... It's Huayang Palace, the thunder just now, but it really scared the slave maid, isn't it Huayang Palace? ”
"Phew! Dead hoof, what do you say! ”
Qi Shi turned his head and glared at the person in front of him viciously.
"Huayang Hall is blessed by the Son of Heaven, how can it be struck by lightning?! I'm afraid you're tired of being crooked! ”
Frightened by this, the person in front of him hurriedly knelt down.
"Master forgives sins...... Master forgiveness...... The slave maid only listened to the rumors in the palace and thought that it was the demons that caused such a conjecture, and she did not intend to offend the emperor......"
"Demons?"
Qi slapped his palm, and in the blink of an eye, the anger on his face immediately turned to excitement.
"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! ”
On the case, Guan Yan has already studied the ink.
Without waiting for anyone to wait, Qi sat down suddenly, pulled a piece of letterhead by himself, and wrote it with a stroke of a pen......
