Chapter 141: Blessing (1)
Time seems to be flowing in the turbulent mountains and rivers, since the last time Concubine Hui came to the Autumn Dew Hall to make trouble, there was no movement, as if in a pool of stagnant water, a stone was thrown, and after the waves, the tranquility was restored.
Ruyi sorted out the clothes sent by the Internal Affairs Office again, and said softly: "Little master, you said that the little eunuch from last time went back to get the board, presumably Concubine Hui also knew that the penalty was not completed, but after so long, I haven't seen her come again to find fault, this is wrong." ”
He Xi was leaning on the window to draw drawings, on the paper in her hand, it was already densely drawn and the criss-crossing lines were densely drawn, it was the map of the dark road, she looked at it carefully, although there were many forks in the road, but most of the roads were still impassable, presumably to confuse others, looking at the still empty corner, He Xi rubbed the corner of his forehead helplessly.
Hearing Ruyi mention Concubine Hui again, she put down the drawings in her hand, stood up, pulled out an inconspicuous brick in the corner, hid the drawings in it, and re-covered it, and then said: "She is waiting for me to leave the palace, this time Your Majesty stays in the court and does not go together, so that no one will support me, naturally it is fish and meat on the chopping board, and it will be slaughtered." ”
If you see her carelessness, you know that she must have the idea of coping, so she will stop talking, at this time, the ugly child took some beads again, entered the inner temple and said: "This is sent by the Internal Affairs Office just now, the little lord see——"
He Xi glanced at it lightly, and saw that they were all plain beads, she put those beads in the palm of her hand to play, they were all some of the poor workmanship, some of them were covered with dust, and I don't know how long they were pressed in the warehouse, she randomly picked a plain hairpin and said: "Only this one is good, and the rest are put away, if the Internal Affairs Office comes to find it in the future, return it." ”
Chou'er was already surprised by such a thing, she replied with a promise, only took out one, and put the rest into the makeup.
Ruyi carefully put away all the things that she would use tomorrow, and then bowed over, and saw He Xizhen holding a book reading, she sat down on the embroidery pier on the side, and said softly: "Little master, the slave maid also heard about one thing today, this time it is not only the ladies of the harem who go to Zhaohua Temple, but also Miss Xiao Nai——"
He Xi sighed, put down the scroll in his hand, and asked, "Miss Xiao, why are you going?" ”
Ruyi frowned, and seemed to be a little puzzled by Xiao Nai's approach, she said: "It's the holy decree that Miss Xiao Nai personally asked, I heard that it was because she also wanted to pray for Shuzhong, because the prince was in Shuzhong, so——"
He Xi's fingertips didn't tremble, she actually laughed, and said: "This reason is justified, where does Your Majesty disagree." ”
If she looked as usual, she said again: "Your Majesty not only agreed, but also said--Miss Xiao Nai, treat the prince with sincerity, if the prince can complete the task this time, then--will give the prince a marriage." ”
It's good to give marriage.
The smile on the corner of He Xi's lips became more and more gentle, she suddenly felt that the miscellaneous notes in her hand had become long and boring, she buckled the book, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, I really want to congratulate His Royal Highness King Xian." ”
Ruyi cautiously looked at He Xi's expression, and saw that her smile seemed to be really from the heart, and a feeling of pity rose when she didn't come.
The ugly child watched from a distance, and called out coldly: "Ruyi, the little master's embroidered shoes haven't been selected yet, come over quickly." ”
Ruyi stood up in response, and only He Xi was left in the hall for a while, He Xi slowly closed his eyes, and the world of intuition was quiet all of a sudden, and even the sound of the wind became faintly audible.
She was in a state of burnout, and seemed to be about to speed up, and when all was over, she took Chou'er and Liang Bo away from the place, and the breeze blew through the broken window lattice, and the pages of the book rattled, and she opened her eyes, and saw that one of the travelogues was being turned over.
Is it cool in the west?
Early the next morning, He Xi was pulled up, bathed and dressed, and when everything was cleaned up, before dawn, Ruyi said: "The concubines of each palace must go out of the palace from the Taihe Gate, and the Autumn Dew Hall is far away from the Taihe Gate, so we must be earlier, so as not to let the queen mother take advantage of this to send us down." ”
He Xi nodded, after freshening up, he went out, and it took an hour to walk to Taihe Gate, there were already some relatively low ranks, but the concubines who were also on the roster were waiting there, and when they saw He Xi, some people were stunned, obviously not knowing that He Xi was also on the list.
Originally, the concubines who were still gossiping together in groups of three or five, everyone looked at He Xi for a while, but He Xi was expressionless, standing in accordance with his own order, not caring about the eyes of these people at all.
Out of the crowd came a woman in the same plain clothes, with a hairpin of pearl agate on her sideburns, although plain, but also secretly luxurious.
She walked in the direction of He Xi, and the concubine who immediately had something good to do shouted, "Sister Bai Zhi, what are you doing?" Now, she is also a talented person like us, is Sister Bai Zhi still rushing over to see the ceremony as usual? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard someone around me laughing secretly, Bai Zhi's feet paused, she looked at He Xi's direction fixedly, and said softly: "Since my sister knows that Xi Cairen is now the same identity as us, don't you feel that you are humiliating yourself by saying such things?" ”
The woman didn't think that Bai Zhi would answer herself like this, her face turned red, as if she wanted to refute, and was immediately stopped by the person next to her: "Don't be like her, just follow her, when the queen and concubine Hui see her like this, they naturally have a certain number in their hearts, we just just watch the excitement." ”
The words had apparently had an effect, and the woman was angry and gloated a little.
Bai Zhi ignored everyone's eyes and walked to He Xi's side, He Xi looked at her with some surprise and said, "Until now, Bai Cairen is still willing to stand with me, which is really beyond my expectations." ”
Bai Zhi still had a soft smile on her face, she looked at He Xi carefully, the life of the Autumn Dew Hall didn't seem to leave any traces on He Xi's body, but it made her temperament more calm.
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, and empty their bodies, so as to gain what they cannot." Bai Zhi said lightly.
"Now I suddenly feel that I can't understand you, Bai Cairen-" He Xi = originally thought that Bai Zhi was a person who always had a clear purpose and knew what he wanted.
But if you really judge the situation, you will not choose to stand by yourself at this time. She looked at Angelica Bai inquiringly.
"No, sister, it's just that you can't understand yourself-in the past, my sister only thought that she didn't want to involve innocent people, but now, there are no more innocent people in this entire harem, sister, your kindness will eventually be swallowed up by this palace, isn't it-" Bai Zhi leaned into He Xi's ear and whispered.
He Xi's eyes deepened, she looked at Bai Zhi fixedly, and under her gentle eyes, there was a huge ambition.
"The queen mother has arrived—Concubine Hui has arrived—the lady concubine has arrived—" The eunuch's treacherous voice pierced the sky, and everyone stopped talking, and hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road, kneeling down and saluting.
Xu Qing'er got off the sedan chair with the help of the green pothos and walked behind Lan Ruo.
Her eyes swept to the crowd in front of her, and at a glance she saw He Xi in a plain skirt, at this time she was like a trembling delicate flower hanging down the soft branches, just a glance, she felt that her palms were slightly sweaty, and she quickly turned her head away.
But her every move was watched by Lan Xin.
Lan Xin approached and said, "Isn't this Xi Cairen, last time Xi Cairen pushed Concubine Shuniang, how long has it been, Your Majesty actually allowed her to go to Zhaohua Temple together, it's really tsk-"
The words are all for Xu Qing'er's grievances, Xu Qing'er hung her head and didn't speak, she is already the identity of the daughter of a criminal minister, although she and Lan Xin are both concubines, but they are very different from the past.
The pothos also restrained a lot, and the same silence was silent, Lan Xin watched the master and servant become like a stuffy gourd, and secretly scolded these two people in her heart for not being a big deal, embarrassed by the heavy responsibility.
It seems that this He Xi still has to do it herself, thinking like this, the queen has also stopped, she wore the queen's phoenix dress today, but although the color is bright, it is extravagant, dignified but formal, and it has taken a lot of effort to come to the Internal Affairs Office.
She put her hands between the wide water sleeves, raised her hand slightly, and revealed her white fingertips, she said lightly: "Let you wait for a long time, this time Your Majesty has a will, and ordered the palace to take her sisters to Zhaohua Temple to pray for blessings, fasting and bathing for 7749 days, chanting and praying for blessings, you must be sincere to the gold and stone for opening, if you cause any unnecessary trouble, don't blame the palace for the face of the royal family, no friendship, can you understand?" ”
"The concubines obey the teachings of the queen's mother-" Everyone listened and bowed one after another.
Lan Ruo curled his appearance slightly, looked at the hour, and nodded to the little eunuch behind him, and the little eunuch sang loudly: "When the hour comes, open the palace door." ”
The vermilion door was slowly pushed open, letting out a heavy and long sigh, and at the same time, the light of the morning sun outside the door was welcomed, Lan Ruo narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and walked towards the palace gate with the female dependents in the palace.
Lan Xin and Xu Qing'er hurriedly followed, and when they passed by He Xi, Lan Xin glanced at her, smiled and said, "This palace still thinks that this is a slave next to Bai Cairen, dressed so shabby." ”
Lan Xin's words fell on Lan Ruo's ears word for word, and she said in a deep voice: "Concubine Hui-" However, there was a doting anger in her words, without the slightest anger, and there was a smile in her eyes.
Lan Xin pouted slightly: "Okay, okay, my sister just don't say a few words, it's just that Xi Cairen, this palace advises you, or go to the back of the team, so as not to be embarrassed." ”
