Chapter 117: The East Window Incident (1)
Seeing that she was so vigilant, He Xi must have something important, she raised her face slightly, and said to Ruyi: "Lin'er has been running outside for a long time, you go and bring him back with Chou'er, so you don't have to suffer from the heatstroke." ”
Ruyi blessed her body slightly, got up and walked outside, and for a while, only Bai Zhi and He Xi were left in the pavilion.
Bai Zhi sat down, first handed over a small gown with fine workmanship, and said with a smile: "Recently, the rain has been diligent, and the weather is uncertain, and the concubine is worried that the clothes prepared by the Internal Affairs Office for the eldest prince are not enough, so she made a small gown for the eldest prince and sent it herself." ”
He Xi's hands with silver armor gently touched the soft silk thread, and said softly: "Bai Cairen is in such a hurry, it seems that he didn't just come for this little gown." ”
Bai Zhi lowered her eyebrows and smiled pleasantly: "Sister Xi is smart, the concubine really didn't come here today for this matter. ”
"Oh? What's that? Let the talented people chase here. He Xi looked at Bai Zhi for a long time and said softly.
Bai Zhi didn't sell Guan Zi either, and there was some ambition in her eyes: "Sister Xi knows about Shuzhong?" Hearing her mention Shuzhong, He Xi said with some puzzlement: "The floods in Shuzhong have caused many refugees to be displaced and homeless, and Your Majesty is also worried about this matter all day long. He Xi sighed lightly, the sky is not at the right time, and the people are not happy.
Bai Zhi nodded, and said, "But Sister Xi knows that His Majesty raised disaster relief funds a few days ago, and Sister Xi also knows about it?" ”
He Xi nodded, in her own hands, there was also the restaurant she bought from Lan Zhili, how could she not know, but what she didn't know was what this Bai Zhi wanted to say.
Xu felt the thoughts in He Xi's heart, and Bai Zhi said: "Something happened in Shuzhong. ”
"What?" He Xi frowned slightly, as if he hadn't heard Bai Zhi's words, and asked rhetorically.
Bai Zhi repeated again: "There was an accident in Shuzhong, and most of the disaster relief funds that were allocated were gone, and the remaining small part was not enough to build the embankment, but the flood was getting worse day by day, and almost all the previous embankments that were waiting to be repaired were washed away, and countless people were killed and injured." ”
Bai Zhi said word by word, He Xi only felt that her heartbeat missed a beat, she seemed to be able to hear those desperate shouts, she slowly closed her eyes a little unbearably, and heard Bai Zhi say the most important words: "And the person in charge of escorting the disaster relief funds this time is none other than Lord Xu Shangshu Xu." ”
Xu Shao, Xu Qing'er's father, last time I heard that in Zhang Minyuan's account books, only Xu Shao was not included, Tuoba Chen handed over such a task to Xu Shao, but he didn't want to, such a thing happened, thinking of Xu Qing'er's cheeks, He Xi was a little unbearable.
"Such a big thing, why didn't there be the slightest wave in the harem?" He Xi squinted at Bai Zhi and asked.
"Some people want to press and not report." Bai Zhi's words pointed directly at Xu Shao.
He Xi tried hard to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, and said calmly: "What does that talent mean?" Could it be that you want me to go to Your Majesty and say no? ”
Bai Zhi glanced at He Xi meaningfully, and did not answer He Xi's words, but said in a soothing voice: "The concubine heard that yesterday the queen mother took someone to her sister's palace to find faults, and even Concubine Xu Shu went. ”
He Xi was silent, and it happened that at this time, Ruyi brought the eldest prince Tuoba Lin back, Tuoba Lin folded two beautiful flowers in his hand, and held them tightly in his hand, and his little hand was actually stained by the juice.
He ran to He Xi's legs, grabbed He Xi's skirt and crawled towards He Xi's body, and hurriedly hugged the eldest prince down like an opinion, He Xi's body is still injured, this eldest prince is not light or heavy, if he misses his thoughts in front of Bai Cairen, things will be difficult to do.
Bai Zhi saw that there were so many more people in the pavilion at once, so she stopped her mouth stupidly, looking at Tuoba Lin and He Xi's happy appearance, she unconsciously reached out and attached her lower abdomen, and a trace of boredom appeared in her heart for the first time, she forcibly teased Tuoba Lin for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, she bowed to He Xi lightly, and said unwillingly: "Sister Xi, treating people with sincerity may not be exchanged for others' sincere treatment, in this harem, after all, only you can rely on yourself, and the concubines are soft-spoken, and all this is in the hands of my sister." ”
After speaking, he left with the jewel, Ruyi and Chou'er didn't know what happened, they all looked at each other, He Xi looked at Bai Zhi's back as he left, and then looked at the lake blue gown on the table, and said, "Go back to the palace." ”
Back in the palace, He Xi threw all the people in the palace out, and handed over the sleepy Tuoba Lin who had already played to the nurse mother, and then took out a green jade pendant from the makeup, it was Biyue Ling, Ruyi was a little shocked, the prince actually handed over the Biyue Order to He Xi, it can be seen that He Xi's status.
"Ruyi, you order someone to investigate, the matter in Shuzhong, and this matter, if there is news, report to me first, the prince he, the prince he was seriously injured before, don't be tired because of these things." Ruyi took the Biyue Order with both hands and leaned over.
Seeing Ruyi retreating, he said to Chou'er: "You send a message to Uncle Liang, the restaurant will be closed from today, according to our previous plan, we can't be in a hurry, you know?" ”
The ugly child frowned, and said with some hesitation: "But little master, we don't have many people at our disposal now, wouldn't it be a bit risky to do this?" ”
He Xi shook his head and said: "This is a good time, everyone is in danger, even if it continues, the business during this period will plummet, and now all the forces are thinking about how to protect themselves, and no one will care too much about our small actions." ”
The ugly child nodded as if he didn't understand, and retreated, the cool breeze gently blew in along the window lattice, and the pages on the desk were brushed, He Xi looked up, the black clouds pressed the city, and there was really a sense of urgency that the soldiers were coming to the city, or in the afternoon, the light had already dimmed.
There was a faint roar of thunder in the air, the wind blew the willow branches outside the window, raising a sharp arc, the mountain rain was coming, the wind was full of buildings, the trees were moving and the wind was not stopping, He Xi took a deep breath, and looked to the left, it was the vermilion blue tile at the junction of Lingxiu Palace and Bingquan Palace.
Xu Qing'er, how do you deal with such a situation?
Her thoughts couldn't help but drift a little, and Xu Qing'er's voice faintly sounded in her ears: "I haven't known Sister He Xi for a long time, but I believe that Sister He Xi is not such a person." ”
"My father once said that Mu Wangfu has been outstanding since the founding of the country, and the children of the Mu family are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and only the general has produced five people, and the military achievements are impressive.
Word by word, sentence by sentence seemed to be re-emerging from the gap in distant time, surrounding He Xi, she frowned tightly, now the two maidservants have been sent out by her, her eyes flashed slightly, with an earth-shattering thunder outside, the raindrops in the air seemed to have received an order, and they all fell together.
Heaven and earth seemed to be connected by raindrops, He Xi asked his subordinates to prepare paper umbrellas, and when he went out of the palace gate, a palace maid stepped forward and said courteously: "What is the little master going to do?" Do you need slaves to serve you? ”
He Xi turned his head, and saw that it was a palace maid with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and her appearance was very good, but a pair of eyes were turning around without any peace, revealing a shrewdness, which destroyed the rare little beauty on her face.
"I remembered one thing, I want to go to the Ice Spring Palace, it's okay, you can step down." Hearing that He Xi was going to the Ice Spring Palace, the maid seemed to be a little stunned, and she didn't have time to say anything, so she got out of the way.
He Xi only felt strange for a while, but this was not the top priority, and she had no time to estimate anything else, so she walked into the rain with an umbrella.
The palace gate of Bingquan Palace was open, and the little eunuch guarding the door saw He Xi, looked behind He Xi, and saw that He Xi did not bring a maidservant, so he couldn't help but be suspicious. He stepped forward with a smile and said, "Little master, what's the matter, why did you come here in such a heavy rain?" ”
He Xi said: "I have something to see Concubine Shuniang, and I ask my father-in-law to help me tell me." ”
The little eunuch saw that He Xi's words were full of politeness, and a trace of pride rose in his heart for no reason, and he said: "In this case, the little master is waiting here for a while, and I will go and say goodbye." He Xi stood in the rain, and the umbrella in his hand seemed to be oozing with coolness.
She faintly felt a dull pain in her knees, it was only half a cup of tea, but the little eunuch had been away for half an hour, and she didn't see it back, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the water had gradually soaked a pair of embroidered shoes on He Xi's feet, she was like a pine and cypress, standing in place, her eyes were firm.
Ruyi returned to the palace and didn't see He Xi, so she chased it out, just saw He Xi standing in the rain, her slender figure seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, she tightened the cloak in her hand, stepped forward in three or two steps, and shook it off and draped it on He Xi's body, the light blue brocade was wet by the rain, with a deep color, Ruyi hurriedly said: "Why did the little master come to stand in the rain, and when did he want to see the lady concubine, he would not be able to see it, so bad on his body, if Mr. Gao knew, he would definitely lose his temper." ”
He Xi's lips were already light purple, she looked at the gate of Lingquan Palace, and without waiting for the transmission, she raised her foot and stepped over the high threshold and stepped in.
But before the person entered the hall, he saw the pothos coming out with an umbrella very coincidentally, followed by the little eunuch who had just entered the ceremony, He Xi's face was as cold as this rain, and the little eunuch hid behind the pothos, and did not dare to look at her eyes.
