Chapter 65: The Plum Garden

"You are the palace maid of Lanyue Pavilion, how did you come so far away?" Pillow Spring asked.

The palace maid named Ah Yun sobbed and replied: "The slave maid runs away to avoid the Moon Maiden......"

Pillow Spring got off the chariot and went to see the palace maid named Ah Yun. Ah Yun looked older than Pillow Chun, looking seventeen or eighteen, with fair and round skin and bulging chest. If you look closely, her face is crimson, and she clearly has two ear scraping marks, but she has just been beaten. After thinking about it, he understood the reason: "But the Moon Maiden beat you?" He persuaded her, "There are always grievances in serving the master, and if you can't get over it in your heart, don't cry outside, it's okay to meet the master, what should you do if you meet a nobleman?" ”

When Ah Yun heard this, he touched a sad place, and when he saw that Pillow Chun was good at talking, he confided: "The little master of the Ming concubine doesn't know, the slave maid was originally a member of the Treasure Division, and she was transferred to serve the Moon Maiden. The slave maid offended the moon maid somewhere, and the moon maid beat and scolded the slave maid, and she was really wronged...... she sobbed as she spoke, and the two balls of fragrant meat on her chest rose and fell with the sobbing.

Pillow Chun thought to himself, how do you want to offend if this is not offended, so he asked, "Who sent you here to serve?" ”

Ah Yun replied: "Concubine Qi is in charge of the six palaces, and she is naturally the master of Concubine Qi. The moon maid doesn't like slaves and maids in her heart, and she doesn't dare to brush off the meaning of Concubine Qi, and she doesn't take slaves and maids every day to make her angry. ”

It turned out that Concubine Qi Shufei was disdainful, and it turned out that there was vigilance everywhere. Pillow Chun called her up: "If you say this, you have to say it carefully, so that others will spread the word about right and wrong, and then where will there be a slave and maid who says that the master is not." Now there is an heir in Yonghua Palace, don't cry here, disturb others. ”

That Ah Yun responded, but said: "Although the little master of the concubine is so relieved of the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are not blindly tolerant of the small. The moon maid is strong in the house, and the slave and maid will have to do something in the future to make her speechless! So he hurled back.

Yulan watched Ah Yun walk away, helped Zhu Chun to walk to the Phi Xiang Palace, and said in a low voice: "That Ah Yun girl is also pitiful, her cheeks are red and red, but she has not been beaten. ”

Pillow Chun shook his head, looked at the ring of a grape green treasure on his hand, and said coldly: "That Ah Yun looks pitiful, and his mind is not simple. This son came to cry outside Yonghua Palace, Sister Lian was just pregnant, Your Majesty naturally wanted to come, who did she want to cry to. It was at this time that the weather was cold, everyone wore jackets, but she was wearing a cotton skirt like that, which was chest-high, who did she want to see? ”

Yulan's face was hot when she heard this, and she tilted her head and said, "But isn't that Moon Imperial Girl also favored like this, how can she not understand?" ”

"I didn't hear that Concubine Qi sent it, she is just a little maid, where do you dare to touch Concubine Qi's meaning." Pillow Chun thought that Concubine Qi Shu was an incalculating person, and she didn't want to even treat the royal maid, "I was willing to send such a bewitching and charming person here, so I didn't have to do something wrong, so that the princess of the moon was busy preventing chaos in the nest, and she didn't have the heart to invite His Majesty's favor." "It's just that the crescent moon is not simple and light to be sent away, or what is the deep meaning of Concubine Qi for the sake of prestige and warning......

Yulan couldn't help but look back at the direction that Ah Yun was walking: "The little master's meaning is that the slave and maid know." ”

Pillow Chun stepped into the Phi Xiang Palace, and only instructed in a low voice: "You just pay attention to our Qi Yunxuan, the Moon Imperial Maiden has a lot of cleverness, and we can't worry about her." He also shook his head, "The palace maid named Ah Yun is very angry, did you listen to what she said, didn't you vow to be the second moon maid?" ”

Lian Yueyang was writing behind the screen in the hall, and when she heard that Zhuchun had come, she came out to take her: "I am also happy that you are coming over to listen to the singing ceremony of the inner attendant." ”

Pillow Chun took out the little flower hat with ears and showed her: "Sister, this kind of offspring is really blessed, I have been reluctant to be a girl since I was a child." If I was asked to make some clothes, I wouldn't be able to cut them well, so I had to make a little hat for my sister. ”

"It's only been a little over a month, and I'm thinking about these things." Lian Yueyang sat down and took the little hat to look at. Xianben liked it, and looked at it with a little sadness between his eyebrows, "Who knows if it can land?" ”

"Where are these bad words...... pillow said, "My sister's eldest prince is smart and healthy now, and my sister has a good foundation." ”

Lian Yueyang clenched the flower hat, retreated left and right, and said in a low voice: "I don't hide it, since Shi's hanging, I occasionally feel ashamed in my heart." ”

"That's her life, why should my sister worry?"

Lian Yueyang said with some relatives: "It's not that I'm ashamed to expose her crimes, but I'm ashamed of whether I hurt her child." If I hadn't deliberately dyed her with wind and heat, she wouldn't have fallen ill in childbirth. She is so beautiful, she gave birth to a freak that disgusted His Majesty, and I was always afraid of it. Then he pinched his palm, "But I was only for my Zhan'er at that time, I didn't care about anything, and I wanted to let her have a miscarriage...... Now that I think about it, I feel scared. Will there be a retribution rotation......"

Pillow Chun persuaded: "Sister Lian is thinking about it. When my sister was getting hot and windy, her child was about to give birth. If there is anything that is not good to eat or use, it will not be caused by wind and heat, I am afraid that it has already been calculated. ”

Lian Yueyang sighed softly: "If I hadn't exposed the evidence of her crimes, she would have regained her favor by now." Now that I'm giving birth for the second time, I'm not afraid of anything. What retribution is to be brought back to me, and not to harm my children. ”

Pillow Chun tightened her hand, not worried that Lian Yueyang was a fragile person. As long as her child is born, she will be able to overcome obstacles and fearless obstacles for it. I thought that she was cold, she was just a concubine, if she was pregnant now...... I'm afraid that I will be remembered by Concubine Qi.

The two of them also felt depressed after a few words, and simply saw that the weather was cold and sunny, and wanted to go out for a walk. This way from Yonghua Palace to the plum garden, it is just in the winter when the color is clear, and a small place is set aside to light a warm stove just to eat flowers and brew. Even Yueyang had a body that was inconvenient to drink more, so he tasted the plum blossom cake with the soup, and he also felt that the flowers were interesting.

On this day, the sky is cold and clear, and there is still a bit of unruly mood in the depths of the flower shadow. Pillow Chun and Lian Yueyang can be regarded as talkative, and said that Lian Yueyang came out as a commoner, and grew up playing on the streets of Lejing Fangjian when he was a child, and he can say many strange things.

The two were talking and laughing in the late sky and snowing, and the low twilight stained the sky. A trace of salty white flocculent fell on Lian Yueyang's hair, and Pillow Chun hurriedly went to catch it: "Sister Lian's body is precious, so don't sit outside for a long time when it's late." ”

Lian Yueyang smiled and said yes, and the two walked back from the plum garden, talking about what kind of sums to eat for dinner as they walked. I vaguely saw a man wandering among the trees in the shadows of the snow in front of him.

"At such a time, who else is coming, isn't it a lost palace maid?" Even Yueyang couldn't see clearly, but he felt that the person was moving very strangely, two steps to the left and two steps to the right, and he couldn't see the movements under his feet clearly, as if he was drifting. When he looked at the unnatural nature of the man's long and smooth figure, he stopped.

Yulan was timid and replied in a low voice: "Two little masters, this plum garden is deserted, and there are many strange and chaotic ...... in the palace."

Pillow Chun put aside Yulan's hand in a cold sweat: "A few of us, I'm afraid that these won't work, who is there to make trouble." So he took a palace lamp and went to look at it.

The lights were dim. Pillow Spring only brushes away two or three sparse and crooked plum blossoms, and behind a low bush, a palace maid in a green cotton skirt gently sways back and forth under an old plum tree with a crooked neck. She palpitated inexplicably, shouted twice, and saw the man turn back, so she stepped forward and pushed.

This push startled a lot of snow to scatter.

I saw the palace maid swaying and turning around, her face was purple and black, her eyes bulging out, and her lips were black as if she had drunk black blood. A half-new hemp rope was tightly strangled on his throat, and there were clear slap marks on his face, but he had not just been hanged.

It's Ah Yun, not someone else.
