Chapter 4: Xiu Yuan's Loss of Hairpin (2)
"Take my poem and ask for a score?" I looked at the servant Qingzhi with a suspicious face, "Qingzhi, what poem did Li Yanniang take to ask for the score?" ”
Qingzhi respectfully presented the flower note when she heard this, I looked at it intently, and sure enough, it was handwritten by me the day before yesterday: The imperial new cover is completed, and the six palaces are not known. As much as possible, copy the score, first according to the sound of the king's jade flute.
It turned out that Li Yanniang's stupid woman came to ask for a score for this Baba, could it be that she really thought that Baoyuan had made some new songs?
I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this ignorant woman, and I wanted nothing more than the competition for favor in her heart.
I put down the paper and asked, "Then how did you punish Riel later?" ”
Qingzhi said: "Li Xiuyuan asked for the score I really don't know, but she said that we deliberately deceive, and when we were unhappy, we found out that we lost the golden hairpin, so she ordered the two of us to help her find it, but I couldn't find it, Xiuyuan said that the two of us stole her golden hairpin and asked me to hand it over, and I couldn't argue with Rui'er, so I had to wear a wide coat to show my innocence......" Speaking of this, Qingzhi was already in tears, and I was also angry when I heard it, this Li Yanniang was indeed too much.
"Rui'er is young and has just entered the palace, so she doesn't want to let the palace people search her clothes...... Li Xiuyuan used this to confirm that Rui'er was the one who stole the hairpin, and punished her for kneeling under the big sun...... Zhao Sile saw that Rui'er was pitiful but couldn't save her, so he had to wait for Li Xiuyuan to leave, and then ordered her to kneel in the shade under the ginkgo tree...... But I don't want to ......" Qingzhi said and wiped her tears with her hand sleeves from time to time, I looked at Rui'er who was as white as paper on the bed, and my heart seemed to have a fireball rolling, this child was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he had suffered such an unwarranted insult in vain.
"Later, Rui'er passed out for some reason." Zhao Lingyue said: "The slave maid ordered someone to send her back to the room, I don't want this child to start talking nonsense as if she has fallen into the evil spirit, one moment said that the ginkgo tree fairy is a man in green clothes, and the other time said that Li Xiuyuan's golden hairpin was not stolen by her, and muttered 'looking for hairpins but to the southeast branch', the slave and maid really had no way to have the courage to invite the mother." ”
"Looking for hairpins but ...... to the southeast," I muttered to myself, and my heart was sparkling, as if someone was reminding Li Yanniang of the whereabouts of the lost golden hairpin.
I got up and walked to Rui'er's bed, held her hands and said in a gentle tone: "Rui'er, don't be afraid, I'm Madame Blossom, tell me anything you want, I can call the shots for you." ”
Rui'er's empty eyes were unfocused, and I felt sad when I saw it.
"Niangniang...... Ming'er was afraid that Rui'er would hurt me by being delirious, and wanted to help me sit farther away, I shook my head and refused, and continued to comfort the poor little girl softly, and suddenly Rui'er seemed to be rejuvenated, and grabbed my hand desperately, she begged with a frightened look: "Niangniang, Niangniang, you save the slave, save the slave...... The tree fairy said you can save me...... "I never expected a little girl's hands to be so strong, her fingers seemed to be embedded in my flesh, and the expression of a drowning man grasping a lifeline was unbearable to blow her away," said the ......tree fairy.
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, this palace will definitely save you, don't be afraid......" I reluctantly comforted.
"Li Xiuyuan said that if I can't hand over the golden hairpin tomorrow, I will chop off my hand...... You're going to throw me into a mass grave and feed me to the wolves...... The tree fairy said that only Madame Blossom could save me...... The tree fairy said, 'Looking for hairpins, but to the southeast'...... The tree fairy said that Niangniang knew...... "Rui'er was obviously frightened, and after she said these words in a state of great confusion, she leaned back and fainted again.
I stroked my bruised wrist, turned around and told Ming'er to invite Ling Xuan over, today's events were indeed too weird, and I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I could only ask after this little girl regained her senses.
Stepping out of the wing, I looked up and saw the green shade in the Yichun courtyard, and the crisp chirping of birds and magpies came from among the branches and leaves.
I suddenly remembered that in modern times, I read an article introducing that there is a gardener bird in Australia that steals shiny things, and it seems that crows and magpies also have this habit.
I didn't have to think about it, I instructed Zhao Lingyue to arrange for everyone in Yichun Courtyard to inspect the bird's nest on the trees in the courtyard, especially the nest of crows and magpies.
Seeing this situation, everyone present clapped their hands and exclaimed, only to say that the habitual thief in the Yichun courtyard was actually a small magpie, and the servants who were suspicious of each other because of the loss of their hand ornaments in the past also apologized to each other with shame at this moment, and then later, everyone actually gathered around me to thank me, but taught me to receive a lot of grateful words but could not explain.
It was a good thing to find the golden hairpin, but I was annoyed that Li Yanniang was too arrogant, I originally wanted to find her to settle the account in person, but after thinking about it, I felt that there was no need to talk more with such a person, so I wrote a small poem and handed it to Zhao Lingyue with the golden hairpin, and asked her to send it to Li Yanniang, hoping that this woman can learn to be more restrained in the future.
Ling Xuan saw Rui'er and said that he was just too frightened, and he applied acupuncture and prescribed a decoction to calm the nerves. Seeing that my wrists were bruised, I couldn't help but look reproachful, took the ointment and asked Ming'er to apply it to me, and told me a lot before leaving.
"The leaves are first grown into birds, and there is a lot of laughter in the pomegranate flowers. But the golden hairpin was left among the people, and they found it from him to redeem it. "In the Changchun Palace, Bao Yuan listened to me chant and returned the poem, and he was already laughing, stretched out his hand to hold me and said: "Or my Rui'er Bingxue is smart and unmatched, not only can sing and dance but also has the ability to investigate and judge cases, which is much better than the cadres in the Criminal Department of the Middle ...... Dynasty, but it is not good at all" He laughed and sold a pass.
"What's wrong with Rui'er? Meng Lang said. I pouted at him.
"As the saying goes, 'swords are given to heroes, and red fans are given to beautiful women', this party has the wisdom to know people, but my Rui'er wants to write a poem to the person who doesn't know a basket of big characters, isn't this not bad at all...... Hahaha......" Bao Yuan raised his eyebrows, and he took it for granted.
"Bah, if you say that you don't know people, it should be Meng Lang, but you can tell me who is yours who can't read a basket of big characters?" I bit my lip and smiled, tilting my head and waiting for him to reply.
"Huh? Okay, little thing, dare to come around me again. Bao Yuanjun's face flushed, and he reached out to arm me.
I dodged from his arms, shaved my face and smiled: "A person who is so good at his skin, he can only do it if he says it, and he doesn't know that 'the gentleman moves, the villain moves'...... Hehe......"
"Okay, then I'm going to talk about it......" Bao Yuan pretended to be a big tiger and pounced on me, I couldn't help but dodge with a grin, and for a while the hall laughed and cheered, only the birds on the window lattice couldn't help but stop and watch.
The next day, I went to Yichun Courtyard to see Rui'er, and then detoured to the old ginkgo tree, stroking the rough trunk, I couldn't help but think of the indifferent cyan figure, is he really not human?
Liluo, by the way, he said his name is Liluo...... Looking up, the light in the trees was a little dazzling.
"Madame, but she is whispering to the tree fairy? Hehe, hehehehe......" A malicious smile came from behind him, and the provocative meaning between the words made it clear who was coming.
"Li Xiuyuan's hairpin was lost again?" I didn't want to look back, so I just said coolly.
"You...... Hmph, God knows, is it Madame Blossom who intends to help those lowly people. Li Yanniang gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"Oh, it turns out that Li Xiuyuan is looking at the good weather and wants to come to Yichun Courtyard to read "The Female Commandment". I turned around slowly, looking coldly at the woman in front of me with a resentful expression.
"You ......"
"What are you, when you see Mrs. Hua Rui, you don't ask for a courtesy, and you dare to be disrespectful, I think Xiu Yuan Niangniang's "Female Commandment" is read in vain." Ming'er, the shelf of the palace maid of the Changchun Palace, is ten out of ten at this time.
"You little palace maid dare to talk like this." Li Yanniang was annoyed and angry, and raised her hand to hit Ming'er, but she was pressed by my cold eyes and withdrew her hand.
"Li Xiuyuan, why don't you stay in your own palace, what are you doing in Yichun Courtyard?" I can't help but have a headache when I see her.
"They all say that my golden hairpin was picked up by birds, but I don't believe it, hmph, I just came today to find out if someone is pretending to be a ghost here." Li Yanniang's silky eyes were full of provocation.
"What do you want?"
"I'm going to take all the bird's nests in this Yichun Courtyard, so that I can teach those stupid birds who have no eyesight to see, and secondly, I will let the thieves have no target for planting." Li Yanniang slanted her mouth and smiled very proudly.
"You ......" I was angry when I heard the words, I had never seen such an unreasonable and stupid woman, "you dare, you are not afraid of retribution."
"Mrs. Hua Rui, there is no provision in the laws of Dashu that you can't serve a bird's nest, and if it's really as Madame said the day before yesterday, these birds and magpies will steal things, then staying in the palace won't become a disaster." Li Yanniang said with a heartfelt voice.
"Li Yanniang, this palace orders you to leave Yichun Courtyard immediately, if a bird's nest in this courtyard and the palace is destroyed, this palace will definitely report your evil deeds to the emperor for no reason."
"Hmph, I'm not afraid if you report to the emperor, you ...... You...... If the Queen Mother is in the palace, do you dare to bully people like this? "Li Yanniang is obviously afraid that I will tell Baoyuan about this.
"The Queen Mother is kind-hearted and believes in Buddhism, if she knows that you hurt your life for no reason, what will the result be?"
"Mrs. Blossom, are you preventing me from serving the bird's nest, are you afraid that people will know that your Furong Song Club is actually a nest of thieves." Li Yanniang suddenly changed her head and blindly messed around.
"Bold, you are deliberately embarrassed by this palace today......" I was so angry with this foolish woman that my blood was surging, and I was about to have a seizure, but I saw a small bird with black feathers and yellow mouth flying out of nowhere, only to see this bird pounce on Li Yanniang's head, pick up a sapphire hairpin in her hair, and fly up the old ginkgo tree with wings.
When the incident happened suddenly, Li Yanniang was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, and when she found that the bird had taken away the hairpin, she was even more anxious and shouted.
