CHAPTER XXXIV
Although Luo Qingyun was shocked for a moment, what she said was too ordinary, and it seemed that no one in the palace dared to be suspicious about this matter, and immediately said 'oh' clearly.
Sun Yingxue seemed to be unsatisfied, and asked with a shocked face: "Then, no one dares to question it anymore?" ”
Luo Qingyun tugged at her sleeve and coaxed: "Yingxue, that's it, there's no need to ask more!" ”
Du Ruo hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Sun Yingxue sat up straight and pursed her mouth.
Luo Qingyun was stunned, and suddenly remembered the prince again, and his eyebrows gradually sank a little. Back in the Xiahui Palace, Du Ruo put the carved bamboo tube she bought with water, folded a few pear blossoms in the courtyard and inserted them in it, adding a touch of spring in the room, and a little more charm when she landed.
Sun Yingxue didn't leave, sleeping alone in the whole bed, Luo Qingyun leaned on the soft collapse on one side, waiting and waiting unconsciously to be confused.
"Concubine Ying has arrived!" Suddenly, there was a rumor from outside the door, and Luo Qingyun's napping eyes opened instantly. But seeing Sun Yingxue subconsciously sit up from the bed, she suddenly recovered her strength, and the next moment she hurriedly straightened her clothes, and put on her shoes with her feet in a panic, while not forgetting to play with her hair. She frowned between her eyebrows and looked up, and asked in a low voice, "What is she here for?" ”
Luo Qingyun shook his head, got up and went out. Concubine Ying looked domineering, she glanced coldly at Sun Yingxue, who was saluting, the corners of her mouth moved, and sneered: "You can move here!" ”
Sun Yingxue knew that she was talking to her, so she silently bowed her head and didn't dare to answer.
Luo Qingyun raised his eyes and was suddenly startled, at this moment, there was a black shadow on Concubine Ying's side, and if she looked closely, it turned out to be a ghost. It's just that the female ghost is wearing a maid costume and is covered in blood. Luo Qingyun was stunned for a moment, the female ghost turned her head, and seemed to be attracted by the light on her body, but for a moment, her eyes were staring at Concubine Ying unswervingly. Luo Qingyun straightened his expression, and asked with a dry throat, "What is the matter with Niangniang today?" ”
Concubine Ying didn't know all this, and she wandered around her face for a long time, hooking her lips and smiling: "Why are you so scared when you see me, did you do something wrong?" ”
Luo Qingyun sighed slightly, paused speechlessly, and looked at the female ghost again. Concubine Ying is still wearing brocade robe and palace makeup today, but the weather is getting warmer, but she still wears a lot, and her complexion is obviously much worse. She looked around without concealing her disgust, and sneered: "This Xiahui Hall is really suitable for you, this person who has a ghost in his heart should live here!" She turned her eyes and said, "Ya Concubine must get along well with you!" After that, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling, but she was a little colder: "Presumably the emperor also thinks that you are an ominous person, so he drove you out of the Qianqing Palace!" But if I drive the concubine to the side courtyard, you are a concubine, I think you were also an equal to me at the beginning, why are you still wronged in the side hall, this is not in line with the etiquette, the emperor doesn't care? ”
She covered her lips and smiled triumphantly, and the disdain in her heart was all written on her face. She just wanted to see what kind of congratulatory gifts this charming woman had prepared today, and tomorrow was an opportunity, and if she wanted to use it to regain her favor, then she would never let it go.
Luo Qingyun was speechless. She knew that Shoujing had provoked the Queen Mother that day, and she was originally going to suffer thirty boards, but because Song Zixun was worried about her body, she rescued him. The Queen Mother knew what was going on, so she didn't ask about it, but asked her not to ask for peace, presumably because she felt that there was evil spirit around her.
Concubine Ying looked for a long time and didn't see anything rare, so she simply got straight to the point: "What congratulatory gift have you prepared for the emperor's birthday tomorrow?" ”
She replied truthfully: "Still preparing!" ”
Concubine Ying naturally didn't believe it, and smiled noncommittally: "Your mind is so heavy, you must have been ready a long time ago!" However, I would like to advise you, the congratulatory gift will be sent to the Queen Mother for the purpose first, don't try to do those unsightly things to hook up with the emperor, the Queen Mother can't tolerate it in her eyes! ”
Luo Qingyun knew her intention, but also thanked her for the reminder. It seems that no matter whether she can find the dragon scales or not today, she will prepare a congratulatory gift to deal with the queen mother. After a moment, she paused and smiled, "Oh, actually, I'm going to dedicate a painting!" ”
Concubine Ying's expression tightened, and she asked, "Which famous family is it from?" ”
Luo Qingyun smiled slightly: "Me! ”
Although she is a concubine in Luofu, Luo Haoxuan has not lost her in reading and literacy. Luo Haoxuan is a civil official, and he already values these. Coupled with the fact that Luofu has no children, he treats his two daughters like men, and has invited a master to come to the house since he was a child.
"You?" Concubine Ying also smiled, this smile was to laugh at her ignorance. As everyone knows, the emperor has a wonderful hand, the golden birds painted are vivid, and the landscapes painted are on the paper.
After hearing this, she was relieved, raised her hand and pushed the hairpin on her head, and hooked her lips: "This is very good!" She turned her eyes to Sun Yingxue and smiled faintly: "By the way, I hit the ink on a pair of embroidery today, and I saw that there was a birthday word embroidered on it, could it be the birthday gift you are going to give to the emperor?" Her voice rose and she had a smile in her eyes.
Sun Yingxue's face turned white in an instant, her phoenix eyes widened, and she slowly freed up the mist. She couldn't believe it, she had been preparing for the embroidery for a long time, and now Concubine Ying had done something at this time, and told her so arrogantly that she couldn't help crying aggrieved.
Luo Qingyun supported Sun Yingxue behind him and patted her on the shoulder. Concubine Ying looked proud, and was about to admire their anxious appearance, but when she saw Luo Qingyun, she suddenly smiled and asked: "Concubine Yingniang, there is a girl next to you, who is about as tall as your ear, looks thirteen or fourteen years old, with a goose egg face and a mole under the corner of her eye." ”
Concubine Ying was shocked by her words, and pulled her dry lips and said, "Ben...... What kind of maids are there around this palace and what do you have to do with them? ”
Luo Qingyun shook his head and smiled: "I just think that my mother is not good-looking, I have time to do those things, so I might as well care more about myself." ”
Concubine Ying took a few deep breaths, her expression unnatural. In the past few days, she has executed a maid for a trivial matter, and it is not the first time she has done such a thing, but she doesn't feel anything. But for some reason, after that day, she always felt cold, and she would have nightmares and couldn't sleep well, and her complexion was obviously much worse. Her heart turned, and she finally asked, "What are you doing all of a sudden?" ”
Luo Qingyun looked at her worried look, word by word, and said extremely seriously: "I believe that there will be karma in this world, Niangniang has done something wrong, and she will be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!" ”
Concubine Ying's heart trembled, and she reprimanded: "Luo Qingyun, don't be alarmist here. ”
Luo Qingyun was silent, his eyes were dark and bottomless. Concubine Ying took two steps back, subconsciously looked around, and squeezed out a smile: "This palace just came to this place and felt unwell, you are the same ominous person as that concubine." With that, she hurriedly walked out of the inner hall and stood outside the hall for a moment, already in a cold sweat.
Luo Qingyun stared at her back, and when she saw that the unjustly killed maid was still following her, she couldn't help but sigh secretly, turned her eyes to Sun Yingxue, who was crying, and said, "If you don't dislike it, I'll help you draw one, but my painting is very ordinary, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the emperor's eyes, so I can only deal with it." ”
Sun Yingxue's eyes were full of mistantness, and she sobbed: "How can she bully me like this, I have embroidered that longevity character for a long time!" ”
Luo Qingyun didn't know how to comfort her, but suddenly felt her arms tighten, and she was dragged into her arms, Sun Yingxue hugged her, and her body was still trembling slightly: "Qingyun, then thank you!" She wiped her tears, as if there was no tendency to stop, and for a while, she cried and sniffed: "I...... OK...... Can help you grind! ”
In the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Ping ran in in small steps, and said in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Prince Shuo is back and is asking to see him outside the palace!" ”
The emperor put down his pen, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised: "Hurry up!" ”
