Chapter 30: Murderous Intent
On the second day, Li Guifei woke up early in the morning, she had not slept well all night, and her eyes were full of crows. As soon as he opened his eyes, he lazily called: "Mingchun, Mingchun!" ”
Mingchun, who was guarding outside, heard the sound and entered the door and responded: "Niangniang." ”
"How's it going?" Li Guifei's voice was quite soft and weak, and she supported her body.
Ming Chun hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed a cushion behind her, and said, "Yesterday, there were the big palace maid Xiang Lu next to the queen mother, Concubine De's palace maid Lu Rong, Wei Zhaorong's palace maid Mi Xia, and Princess Tong'an's daughter Shi Xiaoqi. ”
When Li Guifei heard this, her eyebrows jumped, and her whole person tensed, "Wei Zhaorong is just that, the queen, Concubine De and Princess Tong'an are not good at it." ”
Although the handkerchief looked inconspicuous, it was Bai Sujin who came from the south last year. Except for the Queen Mother, the Queen, Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang and in our palace, only Wude Hall got one. The slave and maid also compared the embroidery thread and the pattern, which was unique and novel. There are several places where silk threads, gold and silver threads are used, and a small place uses ribbons sent by Luoyang weaving. The slaves and maids also let people check the booklet of the Inner Government Bureau, and the only ones who received the ribbons were Concubine Shu, Concubine Zhuang and Wude Palace. Ming Chun replied carefully, looked at Concubine Li's expression with a pair of eyes, and whispered: "Look at it this way, I'm afraid it's that little girl!" She used to be a member of the Martial Arts Palace! Wude Hall knew in advance, but I was afraid that I would have to work in vain! ”
Concubine Li couldn't help frowning, "This is really difficult to do, this little girl is a person in the Queen Mother's palace right now, how can she move when she says it!" ”
Ming Chun also made a difficulty, "But this matter can't be delayed!" ”
Concubine Li Guifei sat up straight, thought for a moment, and said to her, "You go and call Ning Cairen over." ”
On the other hand, Yang Qiqi's errands in the Baifu Hall are getting more and more proficient, and he is gradually getting along with Princess Tong'an. On weekdays, he either accompanies the eldest princess to read and practice calligraphy in the study, or spends the morning in the small kitchen. I didn't know that Ruyi used that handkerchief to cause trouble to the east, which provoked Li Guifei to have murderous intent towards her.
In February, the second dragon raised its head, and the emperor took a few older princes and a group of courtiers to the suburbs of Beijing to worship the land and pray for rain.
The harem was not idle, and the queen set up a small banquet in the Baifu Hall at dusk in order to make fun of the queen mother, and the family was happy.
Yang Qiqi was busy and hid in the house to draw tricks.
At this time, Wen Yaojia and Lu E suddenly came.
"Little Seventh Sister," Wen Yaojia still looked cowardly and aggrieved as usual, and there always seemed to be a pool of spring water in her eyes.
Yang Qiqi hurriedly welcomed the two into the house, and said with a smile: "You are not in the Wude Palace, why did you come to the Baifu Palace?" ”
Lu E pouted and said: "Ruyi is difficult for the two of us, she said that after Qingming, it is the birthday of the eldest princess of Yicheng, and our Royal Highness has to take care of the Zhuo family, so that the two of us can embroider an embroidered screen for Magu's birthday as a birthday gift." Seeing that there are only two months left, how to embroider it! "The eldest princess of Yicheng is the eldest lady of the Zhuo family, and the grandson of the Zhuo family, whom Murong Zhao often comes and goes, is the eldest son of the eldest princess of Yicheng.
Wen Yaojia made a bitter face and said, "Lu'e and I are not good women, let alone two months, it is difficult for a year and a half." Where can she get it, she is clearly embarrassed by the two of us. ”
"It's not very troublesome for Magu to pay homage to her birthday, and it's not that she can't embroider it after two months of rushing day and night. Although she is trying to embarrass you, others can't say anything. Yang Qiqi spoke sympathetically.
Wen Yaojia said: "So we asked you to help, your female celebrity has always been the best." ”
When Yang Qiqi heard her words, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart. This kind of thing, as for the palace people who put the needlework bureau and the monk gong bureau, did they come to the Baifu Hall to ask her?
Wen Yaojia saw her hesitation, and hurriedly explained: "We have all been to the Needlework Bureau and the Monk Gong Bureau, and we have seen that in the spring, we are all rushing to make spring shirts and embroideries for various palaces, and no one has that effort. His Royal Highness followed the emperor out of the palace yesterday, saying that he would not be able to come back in three or five days this trip. This time it was Qiao Neisi, the two aunts of Rongyue and Ruyi. Ruyi only dared to say this because he saw this. When she returns, she may say something to His Highness and Joness! ”
Since Yang Qiqi came to the Baifu Palace, Ruyi has gradually become bigger in the Wude Palace. Wen Yaojia and Lu E didn't dare to offend easily.
Yang Qiqi replied and said, "You bring the embroidered screen, I will help you draw the pattern and pick the line, maybe it will be much simpler." ”
When Lu E heard this, she immediately responded happily. Wen Yaojia whispered a little embarrassedly: "There are too many things, not to mention that I am afraid that it will be too eye-catching to bring to the Baifu Palace." His Royal Highness can't be liked by the Queen Mother, how can the two of us give His Highness eye medicine. Look at this today, it will be noisy until night, you might as well follow us to the Wude Palace, pick it all in one go, and save yourself tossing back and forth, delaying the things on the side. ”
Wen Yaojia said naturally very reasonable, Yang Qiqi thought about it, got up happily and followed the two of them.
When she arrived at the Wude Palace, Lu E happily led Yang Qiqi to the room where she lived before. When the people in the palace saw that Yang Qiqi was back, they all greeted her happily.
When she entered the room, the furnishings were still the same as when she was there, and they hadn't changed at all. Her bed, in particular, was made clean and tidy, and everything she had used before. On the table in the center of the room, there are piles of embroidery threads, which are colorful and beautiful.
Lu E smiled and said: "You are not here, Ruyi is thinking about His Highness all day long, allocating the room to her to live in." But Your Highness said that you will come back sooner or later, let me clean up as you used to, and don't let others touch what you didn't take. Xiao Qi, Your Highness is so good to you! Lu'e was not without envy in her words.
Yang Qiqi was quite surprised, but he didn't say much about it, but told the two of them how to embroider quickly and well while picking up the thread.
By the time Yang Qiqi finished painting the pattern, it was already twilight outside the house. It wasn't early, and she didn't dare to delay, so she got up and returned to the Hundred Blessing Palace. Wen Yaojia left Lu'e to smooth out the picked silk threads, and carried the lantern to send Yang Qiqi back to the Baifu Palace.
As soon as the two of them came out of Yuehua Gate, they heard someone shouting: "Stop!" ”
