Chapter 29: Gift-giving

Wen Qingwu took two steps towards the window, looked through the still open window, and landed at the door of Dafu Palace.

Although the sky is a little dark, you can still see. In late spring and early summer, the evening of a clear day is always full of sunset, and the sky is like a large canvas with paint overturned. In the evening glow, a figure squatted in the flower bed under the stone statue outside the doorway.

Wen Qingwu approached the window and looked at the figure. The figure was lowered and a shovel in his hand. It seems to be shoveling dirt.

Liu Ye gave way to the side, looked at Wen Qingwu suspiciously, and then looked out the window: "The slave maid went to prepare the underwear." ”

Liu Ye turned around and walked out of the view of the window, and the figure stood up and looked straight at Wen Qingwu.

That strange feeling spread out in Wen Qingwu's heart again.

It's still the little eunuch, and it's still the calm eyes. Still didn't even salute, so he turned around and left with a shovel.

"Talented, it's time to bathe." Willow Leaf called from the side.

Wen Qingwu closed the window and walked into the house.

The roses are now almost past their flowering season, and they are blooming too much, and the full petals are falling one after another. So he went to pick up a lot of willow leaves. Give Wen Qingwu a bath.

Her body sank into the tub, and she scooped it up and poured her white neck. The crimson petals of the flowers stained her collarbones, and her skin became more and more white as snow.

"Liu Ye, are we all gone?" Wen Qingwu's words came from the screen.

Liu Ye stood outside the screen, listening to Wen Qingwu's voice and frowning: "What do talented people do?" She had become accustomed to not serving talented people to bathe, but standing outside the screen and waiting for her life.

"Ming'er, I want to go and meet Concubine Shu." The crisp sound was accompanied by the sound of gurgling water.

Liu Ye's eyes lit up: "Go and meet Concubine Niangniang?!" ”

"Talents, wait!" As soon as Liu Ye's voice fell, he ran to the cabinet under the dresser and knelt, opening the drawers layer by layer and rummaging through them.

"There is also a pair of rabbit gold hairpins inlaid with rubies, a gilt paste Cui Huasheng, and... There are also ......" willow leaves turned up carefully, turned over for a long time, turned his head to the screen and said loudly: "There is no talent!" Just these two are precious. ”

"If you don't count this glass bottle at the bottom of the box." Liu Ye added.

"What about the silk and silk satin, are there any?" Wen Qingwu asked again.

The palace concubine is not allowed to bring anything outside before entering the palace. Not even a spare set of clothes. Only after entering the palace, if the family members think of it, they may be able to subsidize something from outside the palace. These subsidized things have to be screened layer by layer, and palace concubines of these grades like them, if the family is not powerful, they will have to fight back.

Wen Qingwu didn't know how this original body got along with her family, anyway, she hadn't seen anything outside the palace in her house.

Like all palace concubines with ordinary family backgrounds, the treasures she can hold in her hands are daily customization. It is uniformly distributed by the Second Division of the Shangfu Bureau and the Shanggong Bureau. It's definitely not going to be much better. The second is the gift of concubines of all levels during festivals or household visits. The original body is so angry, and no one will give her good things.

There is also a deadly ginseng.

The third source is the emperor's reward. The most precious treasures that a palace concubine can get probably come from this. Or even bragging rights.

But this, Wen Qingwu is still very self-aware. Emperor Joan of Arc looked at her with jealousy, impatience and disgust, how could he reward her.

"Talented, there is also a water red Ruyi pattern cloud yarn!" Liu Ye suddenly said happily.

Wen Qingwu didn't respond.

Hearing no movement, Liu Ye hugged the cloud yarn and walked towards the screen.

"Cairen, how about sending this cloud yarn?" Liu Ye will approach the screen, and he saw Wen Qingwu, who was full of mist, coming out from behind the screen.

Wen Qingwu tied the belt of her underwear and said, "Concubine Mei Shu will never miss a cloud yarn." ”

Liu Ye's expression darkened, and he looked at the cloud yarn he was holding in his hand: "Then what are we going to send?" ”

"Then I won't give you jewelry." Wen Qingwu tied his belt, pushed open the door, and looked at the evening when the glow had dissipated. The palace people who lit the lamps carried lanterns and burning sticks, and lit them one by one under the octagonal palace lamps outside.

Seeing that Wen Qingwu was going out, Liu Ye ran and brought a coat and handed it to her.

Wen Qingwu took it and put it on: "Willow leaves, go get a pair of scissors." Carrying a lantern. ”

"Yes."

At this time, the talented people of Dafu Palace are either lighting lamps and reading books in the house, or looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard under the porch, in short, Dafu Palace is still lively.

Seeing Wen Qingwu walking out of the house, the talented people in Dafu Palace were standing or sitting, talking or walking, all of them looked over in unison and casually.

Where is this plague god going?

"It's because he's cured of his illness and has the strength to die." Guo Yinyin leaned against the door of the house, holding a fan and shaking it gently, looking at Wen Qingwu who walked out of the door of Dafu Palace.

"Where does she have the capital to die now, only to be given death." The girl next to her answered.

"I don't need to teach her a lesson, who made her so jealous in the first place." Guo Yinyin turned around and walked into the room with a fan: "A slut." ”

Wen Qingwu walked out of the Dafu Palace, suddenly heard something, paused, and turned his head to look at the flower garden outside the palace.

The roses are almost past their flowering period, and the flower beds are covered with a layer of red petals. The night was a little late, and I couldn't see clearly. But taking advantage of the light of the octagonal lamp, I can still see that the soil in the flower bed is flat, and even the petals are spread so naturally.

Wen Qingwu frowned.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ye carried the lantern and looked at his own talents.

Talented people are not as fierce as others say, but there are always strangeness that she can't understand.

Wen Qingwu didn't speak, and walked out through the flower garden with his coat.

The Great Blessing Hall leans against the Nine Immortals Gate of the palace. Outside the Nine Immortals Gate is the Right Feather Forest Army guarding the palace, and beyond it, there is the Right Dragon Martial Army patrolling and the Right Shence Army stationed on guard.

Among the Nine Immortal Gates, the nearest one is the Dafu Palace. Walking straight outside the Daifuku Palace, there is a west river. After crossing the bridge, it is the Shicui Hall where Zheng Zhaorong and Yang Zhaoyi lived.

There is a pond outside the green hall.

Liu Ye carried a lantern and a pair of scissors and followed Wen Qingwu to stand by the pond.

……

……

It was night, outside the Imperial Palace, inside Yongning Square next to Suzaku Street.

The lights flickered. The man stood by the window, watching the thick night engulf Chang'an City outside the window. The night sky is full of stars.

After a long time, the door was pulled open, and footsteps were heard behind him.

The man didn't look back, quietly looking out the window at the night.

"My lord, there's no movement over there." The visitor said to the man's back.

The man locked his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the visitor: "It's been almost ten days, why haven't you responded?" ”

The person who came followed and shook his head: "Not only did she not respond, but she didn't even answer the message." ”

The man looked at the person who came, and his brows tightened: "Didn't answer the news?" ”

"yes." "The person who delivered the news in the palace said that she didn't move the news that was left there. Not to mention replying to letters. ”
