Chapter 156: The Tea Fragrance is Unbridled
The moonlight was cold tonight, as if it knew that it had not been peaceful lately, and it had cast a layer of mist over the earth, which made it difficult for people to see it.
"Miss, it's late at night, so let's rest early." Ouru walked in the door with the lantern of the night patrol, and after putting the lantern on the shelf, he found a coat and put it on Su Zijin, "It's cold at night, Miss be careful." ”
"Well, I'm fine," Su Zijin left the window lattice, tightened his robe and sat on the edge of the bed, "It's more dewy, you can go and rest too." ”
"Yes, miss." Ouru went first to close the window that had been open all night, and then retreated to the outside room, because she had to keep vigil tonight, so she couldn't leave.
Seeing that the person was lying on the small bed, Su Zijin also turned over to the bed, but she really didn't feel the slightest sleepiness now, she kept thinking about what Lin Guifei would do, it was obvious that the concubine would never want to settle things so simply, but why?
"Could it be that I provoked too hard?" After thinking about it, I said this sentence unconsciously, but suddenly I heard a sound next to the window, and it was a very regular tapping sound.
"Knock-knock-knock-knock!"
Su Zijin remembered that this was the contact method she taught Lin Guifei, she hurriedly got out of bed and walked to the window, and a letter was pushed along the gap and fell to the ground, making a soft "click".
She picked up the nameless envelope on the ground, and pushed open the window, but it was darkness, how could there be no one, Su Zijin asked out loud, "Who is it?" "She can't guarantee that the person who comes is Lin Guifei's person.
"Huh? Miss, why are you up? Xu was not asleep yet, and Ouru got up when he heard Su Zijin's voice, "Did something happen?" ”
There was silence outside the window, and Su Zijin didn't want Ouru to find anything, so he closed the window and sat back on the bed after taking the envelope into his arms, "It's okay, I heard some movement just now, I'm afraid that a wild cat ran in, don't care." ”
"Yes, could it be that there are too many rats in our yard?" Ouru didn't think that this was Miss perfunctory to her, and comforted Su Zijin with a silly and sweet face, "Don't be afraid, Miss, I'll find someone to clean our yard tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Su Zijin didn't know how to answer, so he had to nod his head in agreement.
However, Ouru didn't know which tendon was not right, and he didn't plan to retreat, but proposed: "It's better for Miss to let Ouru guard you inside, lest you be disturbed by the mouse." ”
"No need." How could Su Zijin agree to let her stay, the letter in his arms has not been read, "Since you have a wild cat, you are still afraid of rats, you can rest assured." ”
Although Ouru cares about her master, she also knows how to be proportionate, and Su Zijin doesn't need her to force it, "Yes." ”
The person finally let go and left, Su Zijin was relieved, but he still put down the curtain first, and then tore open the envelope and looked at it.
"The palace has been arranged, you can attend the palace banquet as usual tomorrow, and take this detoxification pill ......"
There was such a short sentence on the letterhead, and no information was leaked to her, playing with the mahogany box in her hand, did Lin Guifei want her to be an uninformed person, or did she have another plan?
After thinking about it again, she couldn't make any conclusions, no matter how much she thought about it, it was not as real as seeing it at the palace banquet tomorrow, Su Zijin took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and put the letter paper on the candle flame and burned it to ashes.
I'm waiting for tomorrow's show.
On the second day, Su Zijin got up early, changed into a slightly solemn dress, and even the jewelry was a lot more gorgeous.
"Oh no, miss, ma'am, they're ready to go!" Ouru hurriedly pushed the door in, and the dishes in his hand almost overturned, "Madame also asked someone to tell us that if you don't hurry up, you will leave us." ”
Su Zijin turned his head suddenly, and his headdress clanged, "They are really too deceitful!" ”
She stood up and walked a few steps quickly, but suddenly thought that on such an important occasion as the palace banquet, if Mrs. Su dared to go her own way and let her, the only daughter who is still in the mansion, go to the palace alone, then it would not be necessary who would be criticized at that time.
"Hmph, it's just that I want to scare us." Su Zijin sneered and sat on the mahogany stone-faced square stool instead, "I want to see if she dares to go!" ”
Ou Ru saw that Miss was still in the mood to have breakfast at this time, and wanted to persuade again, but thinking that Miss had always been measured, she had no reason to persuade her, "Then, Miss, you are a little faster, and it is not good to delay the time to enter the palace." ”
"Hmm."
Mrs. Su originally wanted to watch Su Zijin be embarrassed in order not to be left behind, but she didn't expect that now she has become the master who has been waiting for her so hard.
"Damn!" Mrs. Su accused Su Zijin, who finally walked out of the gate and stepped down the steps: "You are really bold, aren't you afraid that I will leave early?" ”
Su Zijin was helped into the carriage and sat opposite Mrs. Su, "Didn't you leave either?" What's more, the time is just right now. ”
Mrs. Su doesn't have a good face when she sees Su Zijin now, and she doesn't want to pay attention to her even more now that she is being generalized, "You can ask for more blessings for yourself!" ”
"I lend you good words." Without the fear of the unknown as Mrs. Su imagined, and even smiling and groaning, Su Zijin's words were really suffocating Mrs. Su.
The palace banquet will not officially start until the end of the day, when the emperor has not yet gone to the early court, and the ladies who went early are all accompanying the queen in the imperial garden.
The palace banquet is nothing more than the moment when the children of the ministers give gifts and perform, Su Zijin glanced at Lin Guifei from his position, not knowing what to do with his gifts.
Everyone had different thoughts, and after waiting for two hours, everyone finally moved to the main hall, but the emperor still did not appear, and I heard that he was discussing it with the minister in the imperial study.
After a while, a eunuch's shrill voice sounded, "The emperor has arrived!" "At this time, the palace feast can be regarded as the official beginnce.
Everyone went to offer gifts in turn, Su Zijin's position was behind, and her gift was served by the people in the dumpling room, not only the emperor, but also the princes.
The emperor looked at the peony-shaped pastry, no matter how it tasted, this intention was always good, but unfortunately he didn't like sweetness, and he was afraid that this pastry would be wasted.
Concubine Lin Guifei, who was sitting on the west side, interjected at the right time: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you don't like sweets, so it's better to withdraw first." ”
"Don't be a concubine, a piece of the girl's heart, if the father and emperor withdraw, wouldn't it hurt people." The third prince put his plate on the main table, "This plate of tea is wanton, it must not be sweet, why don't you exchange it with me?" ”
Lin Guifei hurriedly educated: "How can this be the same, you go down quickly." ”
"It's okay, today's three princes performed very well in the early dynasty, and this plate of pastries can be regarded as a reward for you." The emperor has always rewarded and punished.
"Thank you, Father!"
