Chapter 507: Ascending
Chapter 507
Towards the end of the summer, a light rain finally fell. It's just that the folk have long been "the trees in the mountains reduce the color, and the springs by the streams are trickle." Everywhere mulberry and hemp increase too much, the old and young cry and have no harvest. The sight of it.
Coupled with the locust plague and bandit plague that came with the drought, the world was full of gloom and misery.
Fortunately, the court has issued an official document to "refute the rumors" about the dragon king and the former emperor, and everyone's anger has been transferred to that group of pirates of unknown origin.
At the same time, Emperor Shunde ordered the opening of the granary, supervised the arrest of thieves by parents and officials everywhere, and promised to exempt the grain tax this autumn and Ming Mian Spring.
After the autumn, this crisis brought about by natural disasters and ** finally subsided.
And the matter of opening the sea ban is also because of the emperor's high-sounding reasons, and no one mentions it for the time being.
Sanniang entered the palace again in the autumn.
Coming out of Concubine Rong's Yuhua Palace, Sanniang was about to go to Ci'an Palace.
She hasn't entered the palace for two months, and Concubine Rong looks like she has come out of her grief, but the emperor hasn't invited her to sleep again. Shen Fengjiao's appearance is really not outstanding among the warblers and Yanyan in this harem, and without the queen's dotting, the emperor is naturally more willing to be fortunate to those beautiful and tender women.
For this, Shen Fengjiao was not disappointed. Sanniang came into contact with her a few times, and realized that Shen Fengjiao was actually somewhat similar to Su Chengzhi's temperament, but she lacked Su Chengzhi's beauty and talent.
As soon as Sanniang walked out of Yuhua Palace, she didn't take a few steps when a palace maid flashed out from the side.
"Madam, our master is invited."
Sanniang glanced at her and saw that it was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. See where she just stood. I knew that this palace maid had been standing here and waiting for her for a long time.
When she was in the Empress Dowager's palace just now, that Li Guiren sent someone over to invite her. She thought that this palace maid was sent by Li Guiren to wait for her. Sanniang groaned and wanted to find an excuse to refuse, she didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the harem.
"The master of my family is Wei Guiren." The palace maid saw that Sanniang's face was a little hesitant, and said busily.
Sanniang was stunned, Wei Guiren? Wei Yue'e?
She heard that Wei Yue'e had gone to bed. And it's quite favored. A while ago, he was already a nobleman, and he was temporarily emerging among this group of newcomers.
It's just that even Wei Yue. She didn't want to see it either.
Now that the battle in the harem is heating up, Sanniang thinks it's better for her to avoid it, which is why she hasn't entered the palace for the past two months.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to see your mother today. Just now, the Queen Mother had already instructed her. Let me come to Concubine Rong to sit here for a while and then go back quickly, the old princess said that she would go back to the house earlier. Sanniang said with a smile.
When the palace maid heard this, her face was a little embarrassed, but Sanniang had already moved out of the queen mother. She couldn't refute it.
Sanniang smiled at her again, and walked around her.
Just when I walked to the Imperial Garden. There was a person walking out of the pavilion next to it.
Sanniang turned her head and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart,
"I knew my maid wouldn't leave you." Wei Yue'e walked over, looked at Sanniang and smiled slightly, "So, I've been waiting here early in the morning." ”
Sanniang was helpless: "Niangniang is serious, and the concubine is just afraid that the princess will wait for a long time." ”
Wei Yue'e didn't say anything, just smiled and pointed to the pavilion: "It's already met, can you sit down and have a cup of tea?" Just delay you for a while, and you won't be blamed by the princess. ”
Sanniang glanced into the pavilion, and a slightly thin woman turned her back to this side and seemed to be making tea. Because the distance is not too far, Sanniang can see that it should be Yingge.
If you refuse again, it will be too obvious. Sanniang smiled and nodded, "Niangniang, please." ”
Wei Yue'e dragged her to the pavilion together, and the palace maids of Ci'an Palace who followed Sanniang to Yuhua Palace did not follow, but only stood outside the pavilion to guard.
Wei Yue'e dragged Sanniang to the pavilion, which was obviously set up early in the morning. The wooden piers in the pavilion are also covered with a layer of soft felt. It's already autumn, and it's suddenly cooled down in the past few days, and Wei Yue'e is also thoughtful.
Sanniang asked Wei Yue'e to sit first, and Wei Yue'e pressed Sanniang to the chair without saying a word: "There are no outsiders here, so let's not talk about those false courtesies." How we got along before, how we get along now. ”
Sanniang glanced at the two maids in the pavilion other than Yingge, and listened to Wei Yue'e's meaning, these two palace maids are now also her people. In the palace, as long as you can let people see a bright future, there is naturally no shortage of people to follow.
Wei Yue'e is still quite proud now, so the people around her are naturally willing to be her people.
Sanniang took the tea handed over by Yingge, glanced at her, and asked, "Are your injuries all healed?" ”
Yingge was injured this time, and she suffered a lot, so her originally well-proportioned figure now looks a lot thinner, but fortunately, her face is still good-looking, and she can see that she has been doing well recently, so Sanniang is relieved.
"The wound is almost healed, and there is no problem with doing some small work." Yingge nodded, smiled lightly and blessed slightly, "Thank you, Madame, for remembering." ”
Wei Yue'e said with a smile: "I let her rest well in the palace, but she had to come out, but I didn't have to call her." But after lying in bed for a few months, no one can stand it, and it's good to come out and breathe. ”
Wei Yue's cheerful smile reminded Sanniang of the Shen Yue'e a few years ago, when Shen Yue'e always smiled brightly and openly, but many times that smile was also her cover-up color. It's just that I don't know how true and fake her smile is now.
Sanniang picked up the tea bowl and said to Wei Yue: "I haven't congratulated Niangniang on her ascension yet." ”
Wei Yue'e glared at Sanniang: "Are you making fun of me?" ”
Sanniang shook her head: "Why do you say this, I am really happy for you, so I congratulate you." ”
Wei Yue'e smiled: "I know you are sincere, but this is the ......" In her smile, the confidence and flamboyance that appeared a long time ago seemed to return. It's just that she didn't continue.
Sanniang also understood what she meant, presumably Shen Yue'e felt that it was too early to congratulate her on her promotion, although she had been promoted several levels from a noble to a beauty, a noble person was indeed nothing in this harem.
Sanniang didn't say anything, but Wei Yue'e picked up the cup: "However, I still want to thank you." As he spoke, he took a sip of himself.
"Huh? Isn't this Sister Wei? No wonder I didn't look for anyone in her palace, but I came here to drink tea. A female voice came from the fork in the road outside the pavilion.
Sanniang looked up and saw the Yu Meiren she met in the imperial garden when she entered the palace last time, and Li Guiren came with her.
"It turned out to be Sister Li and Sister Yu, you also came to visit the garden?" Wei Yue'e stood up and said with a smile.
Sanniang also got up and saluted the two of them. Li Guiren and Yu Meiren also entered the pavilion, and Wei Yue'e invited them to sit too.
"I just asked someone to invite Mrs., but Mrs. was about to go to Yuhua Palace to meet Concubine Rong. I was still thinking about when you would come out, madam, so that I could find someone to invite you, and I happened to meet here. Li Guiren glanced at Sanniang, looked at Wei Yue, and said with a smile.
Sanniang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the concubines and the ladies are really fateful, I just wanted to go to Ci'an Palace, but when I walked into the courtyard, I met Wei Guiren." Wei Guiren invited his concubines to drink tea, and then sat down, and just took a sip, the two ladies also came. ”
Li Guiren covered his mouth and smiled, and said to Yu Meidao, who came with him: "Listen, Madame, this is blaming you and me for disturbing her and Sister Wei's tea." ”
Wei Yue'e smiled: "What bothering is not bothered, is it possible that the later ones are all disturbed?" I was about to have someone call you over. ”
Yu Meiren took a sip of the teacup: "Sister Wei is really thinking of our sisters, this Huai'an Suxue didn't have a few catties when she came to pay tribute, in this harem, in addition to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, there is only Sister Wei here, right?" Fortunately, you still remember to ask people to call Sister He Li to open the meat, otherwise my sister will not know what the famous Huai'an Suxue tastes like. ”
Wei Yue's smile remained unchanged, and she glanced at Li Guiren: "I know that Sister Li also has this kind of tea rewarded by the emperor, but she is afraid that she doesn't like to drink it, so she didn't take it out." ”
Li Guiren smiled, but his smile was a little stiff. She had this kind of tea there, but she didn't take it out because she was afraid that it would be too eye-catching and attract people's eyes. I don't want to make people misunderstand today, she hides her secrets and refuses to take it out.
Yu Meiren looked at Wei Yue, then at Li Guiren, bowed her head and drank tea silently.
Sanniang has been sitting on the side and tasting her tea seriously, to be honest, she has no special research on tea, nor does she have any special hobbies, no matter how good the tea is, she can't taste anything special when it comes to her. Especially listening to these boring "mothers" playing back and forth, the taste of tea is even worse, and she would rather go back and drink her cool white kai.
"Good tea!" Sanniang drank all the tea in her hand, put down the cup, and praised.
Looking at the outside of the pavilion, Sanniang got up with a smile, "The concubine thanks Niangniang for the tea, it's just that it's not early, the princess said that she will leave the palace early today, and the concubine will retire first." ”
Wei Yue'e glanced at Sanniang and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she just said: "It's good if Madame likes it, Yingge, you send Madame to Ci'an Palace for me." ”
