Chapter Fifty-Eight
Later, Yuehua really regarded herself as a grounded, in the Qingqiu Palace, she didn't listen to things outside the window, and lived her own stable life slowly.
There are rules in the palace, every morning to go to the Queen Mother's Ruian Palace to ask for peace, the first day of the new year, the fifteenth, the Queen Mother led the concubines to the Queen Mother's Ci'an Palace to kowtow. After Yuehua recuperated for three or five days, in addition to getting up every morning to go to the Queen Mother to order a meal and listen to a few words of cynicism, he went back to the Qingqiu Palace to nest.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that the embroidery threads dyed in the palace weaving and dyeing bureau were much better than the embroidery threads sold in the outside bazaar, both in color gradation and gloss.
Mama Qin anxiously circled around her embroidery frame, unable to hold back her temperament. She persuaded Yuehua bitterly, took the initiative to go to Mo Guhan's side, served tea and soup, and added fragrance to her red sleeves, even if the temperature suddenly turned cold at night, she went over to send a cold coat and ask for warmth. Compete for favor and favor, the honor and favor in the Forbidden City are all won by yourself, otherwise you will be so peaceful, and let the crane concubine and the concubine jump up and down in these days when Concubine Ling is "recuperating"? The Empress Dowager gave her the good time she had painstakingly created, and then slipped away.
Yuehua only looked down at the silk thread flying, lock needle, skipping needle, embroidery, bright embroidery needles fluttered in her plain white fingertips, and then cocked the elegant orchid fingers, the colorful embroidery threads were hooked high by the tail fingers, sliding through a graceful arc.
The mountains and rivers gradually showed clear layers under the tips of her flying needles.
She was also secretly thinking to herself, who was the person who secretly poisoned her that day? Is Concubine Ling's sudden fainting a coincidence or intentional? Why did this person show mercy and just use his own sensitive nettle?
The most important thing is that this matter implicates Concubine Ling, why didn't the Queen Mother get to the bottom of it, but chose to pull Lan Cairen out to take the blame and settle the matter?
"In the past few days, the emperor has frequently turned over Jun Jieyu's green-headed brand, and Jun Jieyu is sleeping every night.
"This harem grace lady has to worry about the emperor, and the emperor must not be favored, only when everyone clamps each other and maintains balance, this queen can sit firmly."
"I heard that today's vassal country paid tribute to guava, in addition to rewarding a few princes, the emperor ordered someone to give the queen mother, the queen mother sent some in the palace, and finally there were a few left, all of which were given to Concubine Ling. Mother, this is not a good sign. ”
......
Whenever there is any disturbance in the palace, Mama Qin will talk to Yuehua in a rambling manner, and take the trouble to remind her that she should be vigilant, and not to be taken advantage of.
Mama Wei will also pinch Yuehua a few words, but in Yuehua's ears, her thoughts are different. She thought that Mama Qin was so well-intentioned to serve the Queen Mother, for the Queen Mother's power, and for selfishness. And Mama Wei is different, Mama Wei is just for her good.
Therefore, she only patiently explained a few words when Mama Wei advised her worriedly.
"The emperor doesn't like me, and because he is jealous of the Chang family, so he hates me entering the palace, if I come forward to curry favor with him and try my best to curry favor with him, Mama Wei will only backfire, cause his suspicion, and ask for hardship. I might as well do nothing, just stay here, quietly, and save him from suspicion. ”
"Could it be that the emperor has never set foot in Qingqiu Palace, and the mother has been waiting for her life? That concubine and Concubine Crane have been posing for a long time, and they are very entangled, where does the emperor still have time to think of Niangniang? ”
Yuehua was quite unimpressed, and smiled lightly: "Even if Concubine He and Concubine Ya are smart and shrewd, will the emperor treat them?" ”
Mama Wei was speechless.
"Among these concubines in the harem, one is the most favored, one is Concubine Ling, and the other is Jun Jieyu. One of them is arrogant and mean, the other is gentle and subtle, and their temperaments are completely different, but they have one thing in common, that is, simplicity.
Concubine Ling is favored, of course, because she is the queen's niece, and there is also a very important reason, she is the most real among the concubines in the harem. Because of the protection of the Queen Mother, she can not hide her joys, sorrows, and sorrows at all, and she doesn't have to spend too much time thinking about it, speaking harshly, commanding, and going straight. In the eyes of the emperor, this arrogance is an advantage.
Jun Jieyu's character is not very well understood, she looks soft and weak on the outside, very kind, as if the rain has washed away, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. Even the Lancai people who stood out from the palace people were so clean and transparent.
This is the emperor's favorite preference, simple and pure, no need to bother to be suspicious, so that you can never get tired of it for a long time. ”
"That's what I said, but in this palace, where can I keep my mother out of the way? Don't forget, you're the Queen. Mama Wei said worriedly.
"I'm not afraid of what those people will do to me, the emperor is very wary of me, and he is always looking for someone to watch out for me, the more eager they are to try, and the more they reach the emperor's ears, the emperor will only be more disgusted and pity me. Therefore, it is better to be still than to be still, and you must not be in a hurry. ”
Yuehua's analysis was reasonable, and then Mama Wei stopped worrying, and only sighed for a long time occasionally.
Lan Cairen was also grounded, on the third day after the grounding, she sent someone to send Yuehua a pair of hand-woven bisi, not the ordinary heart-saving plum blossoms, or Fang Sheng, Chaotian stool and other styles, but a pair of small frogs with bulging eyes, with a string of jasper the size of rice grains on the back to weave melon and vegetable stripes, and the eyes were a pair of obsidian, vivid and simple.
It's not valuable, but it's a piece of Lancai's heart. After Yuehua accepted it, she knew that she was short on money, so she rewarded a real small silver ingot, which was carved with various patterns, which could be played with and used to reward people.
Later, the ban on Lan Cai was lifted, and he often went in and out of Yuehua. Seeing the veil embroidered by Yuehua, she was so happy that she couldn't do it, when Yuehua embroidered, she stayed in front of her to learn, and she was not noisy, and it was rare to be able to hold back her impetuous temperament.
Yuehua also gradually discovered the goodness of Lan Cairen, this is a very quiet girl, she will be extremely grateful to others for her little care, and she is content and happy, and has no ambitions and desires. Perhaps this is also an important reason why she was able to survive in such a fierce palace battle.
The damage Yihuan had done to her was quickly put to her back and she was simple and happy again, only occasionally mentioning the old days, and Yihuan's name would still pop out of her mouth from time to time. After all, it was a partner who had accompanied her through the difficult years of her life, and had also supported her and shared weal and woe.
Lan Cairen doesn't blame Yihuan, she actually understands in her heart that when Yihuan listens to other people's arrangements and testifies to herself, she must have gone through a long period of struggle and contradictions. She has too many scruples to consider, including her relatives at home, and in the end, she may just be helpless. Even, she felt guilty that if it weren't for herself, Yihuan would not have caused such a disaster.
relieved of her past grievances so quickly, coupled with her ability to spare no effort to help her former sisters, so Yuehua decided that this was a rare good girl.
Later, the two became familiar with each other, and there were no longer so many taboos when they spoke, especially in the quiet night, guarding a flickering red candle, and when the golden hairpin picked up the candle flowers, he would also provoke some emotions in his heart, and carefully talked about Mo Guhan.
Every time Lan Cairen mentioned Mo Guhan, his tone was extraordinarily flat, and Yuehua couldn't feel a little longing, sweetness, and the joy of a young girl. Even less than a plate of delicate dim sum brought her more temptation. Every time she mentions her favorite mutton pot, her eyes will be shining, as if she has disturbed the reflection of the bright moon in the pool water, and the pool is full of fine stars.
However, when Mo Guhan was mentioned, Lan Cairen only bent his eyebrows slightly.
Yuehua feels that people's eyes are the most real, and they can't deceive people, and Lancai's eyes are the purest Qingtan, reaching the bottom of their hearts. She didn't have any intentions for Mo Guhan in her heart, and she didn't have the slightest desire for power for him.
Lan Cairen said that she originally did some needlework in the palace needlework bureau, but she was not good at embroidery, and only liked to weave all kinds of yarns. Mo Guhan saw a little rabbit in a flower dress she knitted by chance, so he happily summoned her and stayed by his side to serve.
At that time, she was stupid and stupid, and often did wrong things, Mo Guhan had a calm face, and everyone was afraid when she saw it, but Mo Guhan would not blame her. Rao was she clumsily knocked over the tea in front of him, or knocked the music on his dragon case to the ground, Mo Guhan just waved her helplessly, signaling her to retreat.
