Chapter 152: The Queen Mother had a sweet dream, and she woke up looking for bird eggs
Zhitong bit her ear with her, and said in her heart: "I'll help you intercede, what are you doing and still stunned?" Our maid's life is cheap, and she has been falsely accused, and she can only complain about her own misery. Your young lady is different, she is the daughter of the Taishi, the granddaughter of Song Valve, and the Queen Mother can't do anything with her, maybe as soon as she sees that the suspect is her, this matter will be investigated? ”
Seeing that Xiangyun was just stunned, Zhitong urged again: "I can only help you get here, whether you want to die or live, it's all up to you." ”
Xiangyun shook his spirit, crossed his heart, and replied to the words of the grandmother: "The one who wears the Yuebai Liuxian skirt is the master of the slave and maid!" ”
In the palace, Dong Xuanying wore a pink palace dress, and Dong Qianmo wore a moon-white fairy dress.
Xiangyun can be the big girl in Dong Xuanying's room, and she is not a brainless person, Dong Qianmo is not surprised when she says this. Because even if she pointed out that her master was Dong Xuanying, and now she exonerated herself and turned back to Dong's mansion, there would be no good fruit for her to eat, and maybe the end would be worse than now.
On the contrary, no matter whether Lai succeeds or not, first drag the fourth lady Dong Qianmo into the water, and the mother in charge can't dispose of the daughter of Mrs. Dong's family, so she can only report to the Queen Mother.
Zhitong was stunned, she was ordered by the princess to be in the queen mother's palace to give Dong Xuanying trouble, but she didn't expect the maid next to Dong Xuanying to be so loyal and resolutely refused to drag her into the water.
Before Zhitong could say anything, on the other side, the lady in charge brought two maids forward and said to Dong Qianmo: "Miss Dong family, you have made a big disaster, this is not a joke!" ”
She saw that Dong Qianmo's face was pale and looked fearless, and said: "Of course, the slaves and maids don't dare to do anything to you, but the Queen Mother's anger is enough for you to bear." Miss Dong, don't resist, follow us. ”
Zhitong thought that Dong Qianmo would be anxiously arguing that Dong Xuanying was the master of Xiangyun. But Dong Qianmo didn't say anything, and followed the lady in charge very obediently, and was locked in an ear room on the side of the side hall.
Seeing this, Dong Xuanying breathed a sigh of relief, twisted her face to the side, and the silk handkerchief she was holding in her hand had already been drawn in some places, revealing how nervous she was just now, and she used a lot of strength to grab the silk handkerchief.
The lady in charge told Dong Xuanying: "Three years ago, there were people from the Western Regions who paid tribute to a bird called 'Silk Yarn', which was a female bird with golden feathers all over her body, and one day, a male bird with silver feathers flew from the east, twice as large as the female bird, and the two birds were matched into a pair. It is rumored in the palace that the female bird attracted the male bird, which is an auspicious omen, and it is also said that they are the incarnation of Qingluan and Huofeng in ancient legends, so the Queen Mother likes it very much. ”
Dong Xuanying understood what Mama meant, and asked, "Could it be that the bird eggs that were broken just now were laid by them?" ”
The lady in charge nodded: "Yes, half a year ago, those two birds left a few strange eggs, and they suddenly flew away from Nianxiang Palace, and since then, no one in the palace has seen them." There were only a few red-shell eggs left, so the Queen Mother pinned her hopes on hatching bird eggs and raising the same auspicious Luan Feng as those two birds. ”
Dong Xuanying asked: "Since it is a divine bird, how can the swallow hatch, and it has been hatching for half a year, I'm afraid the eggs have already died, right?" ”
Shuang Gong E said: "It's strange to say, the eggs of this divine bird, other birds such as thrushes and hibiscus birds, as long as they get close, they will jump around in the cage, showing an anxious and scared look." We were afraid that they would crush the eggs, so we didn't dare to try it in the cage. ”
"Later, a bird connoisseur gave us an idea, asking us to find a swallow that had just laid eggs, smoke the swallow's eyes with smoke, and then replace its eggs with the eggs of a sacred bird. It was done, but there was no movement for half a year, and the Queen Mother was still very much looking forward to the divine bird coming out of the shell, and we didn't dare to say anything about the disappointment. ”
Dong Xuanying took off the veil of cicada wings, took a breath, and asked, "Then I don't know what you are going to do with my fourth sister?" She was so young, and she was naughty and did foolish things for a while, was she planted here? ”
The lady in charge said slowly: "That's it, when the Queen Mother wakes up and says that she wants to listen to "Fried Tang Snow", Miss Dong, you go in to play, don't mention this matter first, and when the Queen Mother is comfortable listening to it, she will find another opportunity to play the report." What the queen mother will react to at that time, we can't say well, so we can only act at the opportunity. ”
Hearing this, Zhitong was a little anxious, the task assigned by the princess was: Let Dong Xuanying's little slut endure hardships, even if she can get out of the palace, she must let her fight in the palace, and she will not like it. At that time, the prince will never look at her differently!
Now I can't rely on Dong Xuanying, but I have a Dong Qianmo. Zhitong saw that the princess was very interesting to Dong Qianmo, and every time she held Dong Qianmo's hand, she talked and laughed.
You must know that things are completely messed up, and the princess still has to let herself shed a layer of skin?
Thinking of this, Zhitong said in a panic: "Mama Rongyu, in fact, the responsibility is not on Miss Dong Si...... Well, what the slave saw with her own eyes was actually Xiangyun who frightened the swallows that hatched the eggs, so she knocked over the nest. ”
Xiangyun's eyes widened, her mouth stammered, and she figured out in her heart that the princess's maidservant Zhitong was going to frame the second young lady before she dragged her master into the water. Fortunately, I didn't fall for her plan, otherwise I would have hurt Miss, and I wouldn't have fallen well!
This time, the lady in charge no longer believed Zhitong's words, and stopped: "Zhitong, don't get involved in this matter anymore, otherwise you push me, I push her, the more you push, the more chaotic it becomes, and when it reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, her old man will only be more angry, and then not only you and I will suffer, but even the princess will have to eat the head of the row for nothing!" ”
When Zhitong heard this, he really kept silent.
At this time, the palace maid who was cleaning the ground outside found that there was still a finished egg under the nest, so she hurriedly picked it up carefully, held it in the palm of her hand, and shouted in surprise: "There is another good one!" Behold, there is one that is not broken! ”
She shouted too loudly, and opened a carved vermilion lacquer door through the verandah, and out of it came an elderly palace maid, dressed very decently, and at first glance she knew that she was a female official.
The female officer lowered her voice and reprimanded: "Are you guys crazy? Knowing that the Queen Mother doesn't sleep well at night these days, you rely on this afternoon nap during the day to relieve your fatigue, and you dare to make a loud noise during the Queen Mother's lunch break, and you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue! ”
The mother in charge didn't want to leak the damage to the bird's eggs for the time being, so she hurriedly said: "Blame me, blame me for not restraining these girls, and as soon as they feed the birds, they make a fuss." ”
The female officer said coldly: "Who is to blame, no one can bear this responsibility, the Queen Mother has been woken up by you, everyone will take care of it later!" ”
After saying this, the female officer walked back to the door, and the door "snapped" shut. The hearts of the people are troubled, you look at me, I look at you.
At the same time, while the female official was attracting everyone's attention, Zhitong quietly entered the ear room and hurriedly asked, "Fourth Miss, why don't you say a fair word to yourself?" Xiangyun is the maid of the second lady, and the entire Dong family knows that you can explain it separately, it's a big deal to let the palace people check and see who is Xiangyun's master! ”
The corners of Dong Qianmo's mouth seemed to be upturned, and he said softly: "You girl is really interesting, first make an article, let us all fall into it, and now you have persuaded me in turn." ”
Zhitong opened his mouth and pretended to be confused: "Fourth Miss, what are you talking about, the maid doesn't understand at all!" The maid is all for your sake, you haven't been in the palace, so I don't know, the queen mother can't hear her favorite piano music in the past two years, so the old illness has recurred, and her temper is very big. Whoever is accused of breaking the eggs of the god bird will not be able to eat and walk around! ”
Dong Qianmo said: "I am grateful that you can think about me." But have you thought about it, I came to the palace to help the second sister on the order of my grandmother. When the mother in charge investigated the 'suspect' just now, I had to make it clear, the queen mother detained the second sister, and I went home with Xiangyun alone. My grandmother and mother asked me why my second sister didn't come back together. What do you think I should explain? ”
Zhitong hurriedly said: "With the princess here, the fourth lady is still afraid that your family will not succeed?" The princess thinks very highly of you. ”
Dong Qianmo said: "I appreciate my cousin-in-law, but far water can't quench my thirst, no, just a fire was released on the city gate, and my innocent pond fish was roasted dry." ”
Zhitong couldn't make sense of Dong Qianmo, and he secretly hated it, so he jumped out of the ear room from the window and went to the imperial garden to find the princess to tell him about the situation.
She is also a person who is very good at manipulating, in front of Wei Qi's screen, she put all the responsibility for messing up the matter on Dong Qianmo, saying that this Miss Dong Si is stupid and filial, elm head, and she has to take care of things and exonerate her second sister.
In the end, Zhitong concluded: "Such a left-minded, not afraid of death, and bullish young lady, the slave maid is really the first time to meet her, and she has gained knowledge." According to the slave maid, if she is willing to die, let her go, and the princess should not go to Nianxiang Palace again, in case the queen mother is angry, it will not be good. ”
After listening to Wei Qihua, he smiled a little and said, "Why is this girl getting more and more interested in me, no, I have to go over and take a look." ”
Zhitong was taken aback, and persuaded in a tight voice: "The fourth young lady looked clear from the beginning, and asked Xiangyun to close the door of the palace, but Xiangyun didn't listen. At this moment, the princess passed, in case the fourth young lady rabbit was anxious, jumped up and bitten, and said anything bad about the princess, how could it be good? ”
Wei Qi squinted his eyes and said with determination: "That girl is smart, calm, not ostentatious, and very loyal to Dong Xuanying, I must win her over and turn her into my loyal servant." ”
Zhitong said: "This is impossible, they are sisters, of course she is towards her sister." ”
Wei Qi painted: "Dong Xuanying will only cause her to die, but I can pull her and save her life." In ancient times, Zhuge Liang captured seven longitudinal Meng and subdued the barbarians, and now I have Wei Qi to draw and move with affection and reason, and ambush the most useful daughter of the Dong family, which is used by me. ”
Hearing this, Zhitong is not good to persuade again.
Wei Qi drew up and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to Nianxiang Palace!" ”
********
On the other hand, in the Nianxiang Palace, the Queen Mother was suddenly woken up during her nap, and the serving palace lady couldn't help but feel worried.
Who knows, the Queen Mother is unusually pleasant, from getting up to rinse her mouth with mint water, to wiping her teeth with green salt, to combing her hair in front of the crystal mirror, she has always had a smile.
Seeing that the Queen Mother looked so good, the female official asked with a smile: "What's the fun of this day, let you be so happy?" I haven't seen you so happy before I nap. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I had a good dream, I dreamed that my little silk was back." ”
Silk is the "divine bird" that flew away half a year ago.
Since Silo's mysterious disappearance, the Queen Mother has been so sad that she can't eat for several months and can't sleep. For this reason, the Son of Heaven also sent an imperial list, offering a reward of 1,000 taels of gold, looking for the lost male and female birds in the palace. If you find a pair, you will be rewarded with 800 taels of gold, and if you find a pair, you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, and the fertile land will be thousands of hectares.
But under the heavy reward, half a year has passed without results, and there are often bird catchers in the government who bring a cage of rare birds, wanting to try their luck, but they can't even find a similar coat color.
The female official has been waiting for the Queen Mother to take a nap in the main hall, not knowing that the bird's eggs of Silk have been broken.
At this time, hearing the queen mother say this, the female official smiled and said: "The two husbands and wives of Silk Luo traveled to Xianshan, but they left five babies, and the queen mother's dream must indicate that the baby is about to come out of the shell." ”
The Queen Mother thought about it and thought it was reasonable, so she also relieved herself and said: "Let's go, let's take a look at the little silk!" ”
