Chapter 149: Appetite
Yu Wenyu glanced at Yun Li, at this time she was holding Su Jinzhao's arm, and said unhurriedly: "Listen to what you mean, can't the third brother still take it?"
Yun Li pouted, rolled her eyes, and said: "Look at what the third brother said, the palace maid in my dormitory, if the third brother likes which, even if he takes it away, he will not say a word as a sister, but Sister Jinzhao is a guest I invited, if she is taken away by the third brother, what goes wrong, General Su asked, how should I explain it." And whether to go with the third brother or not depends on Sister Jin Zhao's wishes, I don't count. As he spoke, he looked at Jin Zhao beside him.
Jin Zhao smiled silently.
Yu Wenyu looked at the knowing eyes of the two, and an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. casually asked: "Recently, I have been playing chess with my father, and my chess skills have improved?"
Hearing this, the smile on Yun Li's lips was slightly retracted, and he pursed his lips and said, "The third brother asked knowingly, why bother to expose people's shortcomings." The tone was a bit distressed.
To put it nicely, she went to play chess with her father, but where did others know that under her father's superb chess skills, she lost miserably. I played so many chess games, and almost never won.
Thinking of this, she said helplessly: "If I had known, I wouldn't have played against my father."
Yu Wenyu smiled and said: "When you said that you wanted to learn to play chess, my father took it to heart after hearing about it, even if he was busy with official business, he didn't forget to teach you to play chess, such an opportunity, but others can't envy it, you should cherish it."
Jin Zhao on the side listened, her body was slightly stunned, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered Concubine Jing. felt that Yu Wenyu's words were not only for Yun Li, but also for himself.
The huge palace, the saint's favor for Yunli, it is true that no one can have this grace.
When Yu Wenyu said this, Yun Li nodded thoughtfully, "What the third brother said is that I am lying in vain." After thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "The third brother just said that my father and emperor are busy with everything, but what troubles have you encountered in the court?" Although Yunli is young, she also wants to help her father share his worries. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yu Wenyu frowned slightly, and said: "The affairs of the court, you don't understand one of your daughters' family, so don't ask in vain, besides, our brothers will help our father share their worries, you don't have to worry."
Yun Li was stunned when she heard this.
However, Yun Li's words reminded Jin Zhao. Do the math, now is the time for the ministers to write to the election of the prince, presumably the saint is upset about this matter.
The matter of the crown prince has not been settled for a long time, and it is no wonder that the Council of Ministers of the DPRK and China has discussed it, I am afraid that this harem is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.
But those who have the heart to fight will not sit still, and will inevitably have to move.
Su Jinzhao glanced at Yu Wenyu, who doesn't want their children to do something in the future. The women of the harem, if they want to stand firm, either they must win the favor of the saint, or the mother is expensive by virtue of the child, but there are a few men in the world who are sincere and unchanged.
Now although Concubine Ru is deeply favored, she is a woman, even if she is favored by the sixth palace, she can't keep her face no longer one day, and Junxin will change when she says that she will change. The second prince is the sustenance of the second half of her life, so she naturally has to plan for her son's future.
Su Jinzhao raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Yu Wenyu, who was indifferent, and said loudly: "The princess just cares about the saint, why should the third prince be angry when he leaves."
Yu Wenyu looked at her, only then did he realize his behavior just now, and then slowed down his tone and said to Yun Li: "The third brother is not blaming you for many things, it's just a matter of the court, not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, the third brother just doesn't want you to worry about these things."
Yu Wenyu said this, naturally he has his selfishness, people's hearts are complex and unpredictable, he doesn't want Yunli to be involved, she should be carefree at her age.
Yun Li struggled to control her emotions, and said in a low voice: "After all, Yun Li is young, Chang Shen is in the boudoir, what she sees and hears is limited, she doesn't understand the things in the court, and she is not as capable as a few royal brothers. ”
Having said that, Jin Zhao caught a glimpse of the loss in her eyes.
is also, full of confidence to help the saint share his worries, but who knew that he was thrown cold water by his respected royal brother, and told her not to care. Whoever listens to it will not feel very good in his heart. What's more, Yunli is still a person with strong self-esteem.
Yu Wenyu listened, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but then said lightly: "It's not too early, you guys should rest early, I'll go back first." With that, he glanced at Su Jinzhao, saw that the other party staggered his gaze slightly, looked away, and stayed for a few seconds before stopping, and turned to leave.
After the person left, Su Jinzhao looked at the other party's back and was silently distracted, until Yu Wenyu disappeared from sight, she looked at Yun Li beside her: "It's windy outside, let's go into the house, so as not to be infected with the wind cold." ”
Yun Li's mood was affected by what happened just now, and she only nodded in response.
Jin Zhao saw that Yun Li was silent, thought about it, and pulled her to sit down.
"What's the matter, still thinking about what just happened?" Jin Zhao asked with a gentle smile on his lips.
Yun Li snorted: "They all treat me like a child, Sister Jinzhao, do you think so too?"
What does this call her, at her current age, Yunli is not just a child.
Su Jinzhao held her hand, feeling that the other party's hand was a little cold, probably because she had been talking outside for a long time just now, she didn't answer, but asked, "Why do you think like this?" ”
Isn't it?
Yun Li sighed and said, "If not, when I told my third brother and I what I thought, he didn't think about it, let me not worry about it, I am the daughter of my father, and naturally I want to share it for him." After a pause, he continued, "I was playing chess with my father, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of the white hair on his temples, and I don't know when he got gray hair. ”
As she spoke, Yun Li's voice weakened for a moment.
Su Jinzhao faintly heard the choking in the girl's words, touched his heart, and comforted: "Don't think about it, maybe just like the third prince said, I don't want you to add unnecessary troubles, let them solve their men's affairs, let's do our best." Besides, the Holy One has not said anything, and there may be nothing to worry about. ”
Yun Li thought for a moment before saying, "It's good that you are here, otherwise I might really think about it." Although she has a good relationship with Yan Xue by her side, compared to Su Jinzhao, Yun Li always feels that something is missing, every time they meet, they can't say a few words of self-consideration, Yan Xue can't wait to ask her about the Third Emperor Brother.
Hearing Su Jinzhao say this, Yunli's mood was slightly better.
Yun Li took a breath and said, "Since my father is busy with all things, tomorrow I will go to the Clerk's Pavilion to find a few books on chess skills, and ponder them first."
Su Jinzhao nodded and suggested: "There should be masters in the palace who are good at this, if you have any questions, you can also ask them, presumably they must have answers to the princess."
Last night, Su Jinzhao comforted Yunli, resting a little later than usual, and recently I don't know if it's because of spring sleepiness, I like to be sleepy, and I rested late last night, so I got up late in the morning.
Jin Zhao sat on the bed, watched the sunlight outside shine into the room through the window, and stretched lazily.
At this time, I heard a knock on the door outside.
"Miss, are you awake? The slave and maid have brought you clothes. ”
It's the voice of the red sleeves.
"Come in." Jin Zhao said casually.
With a "squeak", the door was gently pushed open, and the red sleeves slowly came in with their clothes in their hands.
Jin Zhao glanced at the clothes in the hands of the red sleeves, and without waiting for her to speak, the red sleeves said respectfully: "Miss, this is the new clothes that the princess ordered the slave maid to prepare for you last night, your original clothes, the slave maid took it to wash, and then sent it to you when it was dried, you wear this first, it is all according to your size and let the people in the palace embroidery workshop rush to make it overnight."
Hearing this, Jin Zhao looked at the clothes that had been made overnight, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly: "It's the people who have worked hard in the embroidery workshop."
Red Sleeves replied: "They have received a lot of favors from the princess on weekdays, and if they can help the princess do things, they are naturally willing to serve, and they don't feel hard."
The clothes of the palace masters are from the embroidery workshop, but where there are some flaws, or the palace masters are not satisfied, if they are bumped into by Yunli, they will inevitably speak for them, for the emperor's sake, those concubines will sell her face, over time, there are many embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop who are exempt from punishment because of Yunli's kindness, and they are looking forward to one day being able to repay the princess.
Now that the princess has orders, they are naturally willing.
Jin Zhao put on new clothes and asked again, "By the way, is she up princess?"
Red Sleeves shook her head and replied, "The princess usually gets up late, and she doesn't usually get up at this time, but you, the eldest lady, get up early."
Hearing this, Su Jinzhao's eyes flashed, and she was a little embarrassed, at this time of the day, she had already freshened up.
In the past, she also wanted Yunli to get up late like this, but then she got used to going to bed early and getting up early, and gradually, she also developed a habit.
After a while, Jin Zhao freshened up, and seeing that Yun Li hadn't gotten up yet, he said to Red Sleeves by the way: "I'll go back first, and the princess will wake up later, please tell her, and say that I will come to see her another day."
Redsleeves asked, "It's still early, don't you wait for the princess to wake up and say goodbye to her in person?"
Jin Zhao waved his hand and said, "No, it's the same with her."
Jin Zhao thought to himself, it was not good to stay in the palace all the time, after all, this was not his home.
Speaking of "home", Jin Zhao pondered for a long time. Once upon a time, she also considered this her home.
After explaining to Red Sleeves, Jin Zhao was about to leave Yunxiang Palace, but the palace maid Red Sleeves was not at ease and wanted to take her out of the palace, so after thinking about it, she agreed.
Although she has been in the palace for so long and is very familiar with the palace, after all, Red Sleeves is Yunli's personal palace maid, and it is somewhat easier to leave the palace with her to lead the way.
Out of Yunxiang Palace, the red sleeves showed her the way in front. Who knows, when I met two palace maids on the way, I should have a good relationship in private, and the two little palace maids greeted Red Sleeves from a distance.
"Redsleeves, where are you going?" A baby fat palace maid asked.
Red Sleeves pointed at Jin Zhao and said to the two: "This is General Su's daughter, Miss Su," after yesterday's tea party, she was left by the princess for one night, and she was about to send her out of the palace." When he came, he turned to Jin Zhao again, pointed and said, "These are Ding Lan and Zixiang, the two palace maids beside Concubine Jing. ”
The palace maid who spoke to Red Sleeves first was Ding Lan.
Hearing that it was Concubine Jing's person, Jin Zhao couldn't help but look at the other party twice.
No wonder the sound is a little familiar, but at first glance, it is.
Hearing that it was the eldest lady of the Su family, Ding Lan and Zixiang hurriedly saluted Jin Zhao.
"The slave has seen the eldest lady."
"Get up." Jin Zhao raised his hand to signal them to get up, looked at the food box in their hands again, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Ding Lan replied: "Miss Hui, the slaves and maids were originally going to serve this Concubine Jing for breakfast, but who knows, Concubine Jing said that she had no appetite and asked the slaves and maids to withdraw the breakfast."
Jin Zhao
When I heard this, my eyes drooped slightly.
Red Sleeves said: "Concubine Jing still has no appetite?" How many days have it been. ”
Jin Zhao's eyes lit up, and since he asked, "How do you say this?"
Only then did the red sleeves say: "The eldest lady doesn't know, the slave has seen it several times in private, Concubine Jing has not had much appetite recently, and she eats very little every day, so if it goes on like this, how can the body withstand such a toss."
Jin Zhao frowned slightly and said, "Can the third prince know about this matter?"
The two palace maids nodded in response: "The third prince knows, and he asked the imperial doctor to come and see it yesterday."
Jin Zhao walked over and opened the food box to look at the food inside, and then closed the box again.
"Right now, Concubine Jing is suitable to eat some light things, where is the small kitchen, you can take me over."
Ding Lan and Zixiang looked at each other, and looked at Su Jinzhao in disbelief, Ding Lan asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do in the kitchen?"
What else can I do in the kitchen?
Jin Zhao said: "Don't ask so much, you just take me over."
The red sleeves on the side didn't know why, but they also helped her speak: "Presumably the eldest lady has her own opinions, it's better to take her there first, and you two are responsible for leading the way."
The palace maid Red Sleeves beside the princess said so, and although the two palace maids were curious, they also did so.
Zixiang said: "Please come with the slave maid, and the slave will take you over."
The imperial dining room was full of people, and if she appeared there rashly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
The kitchenette was different, there were no people, it was quieter.
Jin Zhao asked the three of them to wait outside, while he worked in the kitchen.
The eldest lady of the dignified General's Mansion actually entered the kitchen in person, Mo said that the red sleeves didn't believe it, and even Ding Lan and Zixiang, the two little palace maids, were surprised.
"What do you say Miss Su is going to do?" Ding Lan poked his head and asked curiously.
Zixiang touched her head, thought about it, and said, "Maybe I want to cook and eat it myself."
Even she didn't believe it herself, how could anyone who was the master cook it himself.
Although Red Sleeves was puzzled in his heart, he said on his face: "Don't guess, when the eldest lady comes out, it will be clear." Be patient and wait for a while. ”
