Chapter 81: Connecting Pulses (5)
“…… Yaomei? Becoming more and more confused, Qu Zhong replied honestly: "It is common for her to wear a wooden hairpin...... I should like to have more hairpins. ”
"Then make a hairpin. The style doesn't have to be ostentatious, it's simple. I looked at the end of the song and gradually understood, and turned my eyes to stare at the flower-like face in the bronze mirror: "You once said that it takes about five days to make a human skin mask. In the days when the craftsman is making the hairpin, you search for the materials you need for a human skin mask. Pay more attention to Yaomei's living habits, she is the most indispensable chess piece in this game of chess I want to play. ”
Three days later, Qu finally retrieved three hostas from the silver bureau. Although the original intact petals are disassembled, Hetian Topaz's natural and precious temperament, even if it is an independent branch, also has a unique appearance. I placed two of them in a brocade box, and the remaining one was only in a wooden box, and ordered the palace maid to invite Xiao Wangshu to come, and at the same time called Qu Zhong, and ordered her to send the wooden box to the Xianglu Palace.
"You want to see Yaomei by name. If she has something to do or doesn't have time to come out to see you by herself, come back with a reason. If you see it, you will be more subtle, so that she will think that this hosta is a gift from you to please her. ”
I handed the wooden box to the end of the song: "She has followed Wang Gushan for all these years, and she must have been dazzled by the rare treasures." She will definitely recognize this as Hetian Topaz, you just can't help but deny it. Considering who you and her are, she will definitely believe what you say in the end. Although Yaomei is said to be the palace maid in charge of the Xianglu Palace, according to what you said before, Su Rili mostly wears wooden hairpins, which shows that Wang Gushan is reluctant and unwilling to spend money on her. I don't think she will dare to wear this hosta in front of Wang Gushan, but since she has it, she will always want to show it off. In the past few days, the cold wave has risen again, and even if Yaomei does not go to the salary department to inquire about firewood and charcoal, he will go to the needle work bureau to choose spring clothes patterns. That day is the day when the show begins. ”
Everything was as I expected. Three days later, the cold wind suddenly rose, and Yaomei really led a little palace maid in the palace to the salary department. Xiao Wangshu wore a topaz hosta and came out of Yongning Palace with me, and when he was passing through the Penglai Pond in front of the Chuiyu Chuanfang Terrace, he happened to meet Yaomei.
Because Wang Gushan was not there, Yaomei had already flaunted the topaz hosta. Lazily performed etiquette, Yao Meifang wanted to pass by us, but Xiao Wangshu gave her a rare look at her at this moment. Just this glance, his face suddenly changed: "Your hosta ......"
Glancing at Xiao Wangshu disdainfully, Yaomei soon discovered that the two hostas were the same. Surprised for a moment, Yao Mei smiled contemptuously and arrogantly: "Yo, did the Eighth Emperor Ji take the wrong share or was she shy in her pocket, and she actually wore the same jewelry as the slave maid." The slave didn't dare to climb high, but how could the Eighth Emperor Ji depreciate herself to this point? ”
"You!" Xiao Wangshu took a step forward and raised his hand to fight, but was stopped by the palace maid. Yao Mei raised his head and sneered: "Why should the Eighth Emperor Ji be so angry. This is not a valuable thing, if the Eighth Emperor Ji can't see the slave and maid to wear it, the slave and maid will only throw it away, or reward other cats and dogs in the palace. The Eight Emperors must not get along with themselves. ”
"Bold minion! Do you know what this hosta is" Xiao Wangshu ......was so angry that she was about to blurt out, but I stretched out my arms to stop her: "That's it." It's cold today, so it's not good to stay outside for a long time. Wangshu Emperor Ji is noble, if he gets the wind cold, it will not be good. I want to come to the concubine Niangniang, and wait for the Yaomei girl to return to the palace to restore her life. Recently, the emperor has been troubled by the war, so don't make a storm in the city because of this incident. ”
Yaomei gave a slight salute proudly and swaggered away. No matter how unbearable it was, Xiao Wangshu threw his sleeves and cried: "How dare a slave and maid humiliate me like this!" How could she have the same hosta that Emperor Yijing gave me and the queen mother?! ”
"I originally wanted to ease the relationship with Xianglu Palace and give it to Wang Guifei. Somehow, it was Yaomei who put it on. I sighed and wiped away my tears for Xiao Wangshu: "Yaomei is so arrogant, Wangshu Emperor Ji has suffered." ”
"It was Wangshu who implicated Emperor Yijing, and was ridiculed by this cheap maid together." Xiao Wangshu's tears rippled, and he couldn't say it completely: "I'm going to find the queen's mother...... Ask the queen to make decisions for me! ”
"The queen is worried about General Ling Kun, and she has to be sympathetic to the emperor's difficulties, but I am afraid that this matter will eventually make Emperor Wangshu aggrieved." Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Banxia, who was hidden in the corner and did not come out, quietly leaving, holding Xiao Wangshu and walking away from here: "The way of heaven is reincarnated." Yaomei oversteps the rules, and if it does not come to this point, there will always be a day when it will suffer its own consequences. ”
Biting his lip and sobbing, Xiao Wangshu was still sobbing and choking. I sighed again and took her hands: "Don't think about these annoying things anymore, if you are angry, wouldn't it be even more worth the loss?" Yes...... This matter gave me an idea, I don't know if Emperor Shu would like to hear it? ”
Xiao Wangshu's eyes were hazy with tears, and I leaned closer and whispered: "As Yi Jing just said, no matter what the front and back harems are, there is no time to take care of anything else because of the war. Whether it is the emperor, the queen's mother, or the palace of Xianglu, which has always targeted Emperor Wangshu and Concubine Xian, they will turn their energy elsewhere at this moment. If Emperor Wangshu has the heart to see a virtuous concubine, now is the best opportunity. ”
“…… Go, go to see the concubine? Xiao Wangshu wavered, but he was still timid: "What Emperor Yijing said is true, but if it is known by his father......"
"Last time, Yijing entered the cold palace to visit Concubine Xian, and the words 'there is no danger' are still exaggerated. Emperor Wangshu is depressed in her heart now, if she can see the side of Concubine Xian, it will also be beneficial and harmless. ”
Once the humiliation comes to mind, it is not easy to get rid of it. was easily embarrassed, Xiao Wangshu did not hesitate any longer, and strode towards the cold palace first. Qu Zhong and I followed behind slowly, and I asked in a low voice, "You said this morning that you have contacted the doorman sent into Wang's Mansion by Dahonglu?" ”
"Yes." The answer was almost inaudible, and Qu Zhong quickly glanced at the front of him: "Now that Wang Shangshu is marching outside, Wang's guard is lax, so he can get in touch." ”
"According to folk legends, the silk is as thin as a cow's hair. This thing comes from the Night. I didn't squint: "You sent a message to the doorman and told him that I need two pieces of silk." For a while, the trustee tried his best to bring it into the harem of Zhongshu. The other section is hidden in Wang's mansion without a trace. ”
"Yes." At the end of the song, I bowed slightly, and she retreated silently. Continuing to walk leisurely in the direction of the cold palace, Xiao Wangshu had already disappeared. After swaying for about an hour, we stood in front of the gate of the cold palace, and the palace gate was wide open, Xiao Wangshu stood in the door with red eyes, and gave a great gift: "Yijing Chang Emperor Ji." ”
"Here's what to do, hurry up." I hurriedly reached out to help her up, and looked inward, Concubine Min Xianting stood under the eaves, her eyes tired and tired.
Before he had time to think about it, Xiao Wangshu had already choked up and said: "Wangshu has already talked about his thoughts with his mother." The mother concubine said that she would personally worship Emperor Xie Yijing. ”
"I see." Instructed the palace maid beside Xiao Wangshu to send her back to the palace, and I let the long skirt linger on the damp bluestone road, listening to the palace door slamming shut behind me.
"Yi Jing has seen Concubine Xian." I was polite, Concubine Min Xian didn't say a word, I got up on my own, and chuckled: "Doesn't Concubine Xian have something to say to Yijing?" ”
"Is this palace having something to say to you, or are you forcing this palace to listen to you?" responded coldly, Concubine Min Xian's eyes were cold: "You instigated Wangshu to come here to see the palace, just to warn the palace, Wangshu has obeyed your orders, Wangshu's future, and even his life, are in your hands." Isn't it? ”
"Why did Concubine Xian Niangniang say this?" I Shi Shiran sat down: "Wangshu Emperor Ji and Yi Jing are friendly, Yi Jing is grateful for this mother-daughter affection, and Fang took the risk to lead the way for Concubine Xian Niangniang and Wangshu Emperor Ji." Today, Emperor Wangshu was insulted and depressed, Yi Jing thought about Emperor Wangshu and thought that Concubine Xian Niangniang could relieve Emperor Wangshu's sorrows, so he suggested that Emperor Wangshu come here. Concubine Xian Niangniang should not misunderstand Yijing. ”
"Since the last time I met you, this palace has thought about today." Concubine Min Xian also sat down opposite me, imposing: "Originally, what were your intentions, this palace doesn't want to explore, I just hope that you don't want to involve Wangshu and this palace." But this time, listening to Wangshu's words, it seems that she has stepped into your trap first, and she has to accompany you to finish this play. ”
Wan Er smiled, I accepted the polite falsehood, and confronted Concubine Min Xian head-on: "I hope that Emperor Shu will be in this play, in the final analysis, because of Concubine Xian's mother." Concubine Xian Niangniang will be in this play, in the final analysis, it is the same purpose as Yijing - because of Wang Guifei. At first, Yi Jing didn't want to trouble Concubine Xian, and she didn't intend to implicate Emperor Wangshu. It's just that now is a good opportunity, if you get the help of Concubine Xian, I believe that Wang Guifei will fall, but in the blink of an eye. ”
As I spoke, Concubine Min Xian calmly picked up her cup and tasted water. After drinking a cup, she said again: "When I met Emperor Yijing for the first time last time, Emperor Yijing also admired the seclusion and peace here in this palace. Although Wangshu was outside without the palace, he was fortunate to be protected by the queen. As for Concubine Wang, she was born, old, sick and died, and her work had nothing to do with the palace. Therefore, although the ending imagined by Emperor Yijing is beautiful, it cannot attract the palace in the slightest. ”
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is so relieved to look at Emperor Shu?" I spoke softly.
Concubine Min Xian raised her eyebrows: "The palace has already said that Wangshu has the protection of the queen's mother." ”
Yi Jing did not doubt that the queen was waiting for Emperor Shu's heart. It's just that the worry about the impermanence of the world is often beyond human control. I folded my hands and looked directly at Concubine Min Xian with my head slightly down: "Liang Hong's Emperor Ji Lingyue was sent hostage because of his intercourse with the night. Yi Jing himself is even more Liang Hong as the emperor of the pan night. In the face of the interests of the country, Concubine Xian thinks that when will the queen's protection last? If there is a need to exchange hostages, looking at the Lianghong harem, Concubine Xian Niangniang thinks that the emperor will choose which emperor to go? ”
"It is true that if the emperor insists on doing it, even if the virtuous concubine can see the light of day, it seems that it will not be able to reverse the situation. But if the emperor hesitated, but Wang Guifei instigated by the side, then the queen mother had to look at this matter as the mother of the country, how to stop it openly? Isn't Emperor Wangshu in an urn, isolated, and difficult to escape? ”
