Chapter 257
Early in the morning of the second day. (Watch and see)
When Li Yunqing got up from the bed, there was a little maid in the exquisitely furnished bedroom who was adding coal to the charcoal basin.
The little maid looks delicate, dressed in a goose-yellow cotton skirt, with a double bun on her head, her ears are red from the cold, and when she adds carbon, she deliberately slows down because she is greedy for warmth, and rubs in front of the charcoal basin for a long time.
It wasn't until someone outside called her out to do something that she reluctantly left.
Li Yunqing nestled in the quilt, half-squinting her eyes, her eyelashes curled, her cheeks flushed, and she was stunned for a long time when she looked at the movements of the little girl.
is also the same as the little girl, greedy for the warmth of the bed, and does not want to get up at all.
She glanced at the window not far away, and the snow outside had probably stopped, because it was light snow, and the ice crystals on the branches had melted as soon as the morning sun had fallen.
Li Yunqing yawned, rubbed her hair in a daze, and still had to get up from the bed.
This kind of calm doesn't last long, and it's really nostalgic.
Just when she got up, the little maid came up with a hot water wooden basin just now, and she was slightly stunned when she saw Li Yunqing's sleepy appearance.
Usually the emperor is as indifferent as water, that is, cordial and not serious, and at the same time makes people feel unattainable, at this time just woke up, but it is really kind.
Stunned for a moment, and found that Li Yunqing was looking at her with puzzled eyes, she nervously trotted to the washstand, put down the basin, lowered her head and said, "My lord has no other instructions, the slave will go and serve you breakfast." ”
After speaking, seeing that Li Yunqing had no intention of speaking, she quietly retreated.
Li Yunqing washed her face with hot water, combed the messy green silk softly, and heard a sound of footsteps on the roof of the building, and the shadow fell quickly.
"Master, Lin Qi will arrive in Guandu in the afternoon."
Li Yunqing pinched the comb's plain hand for a slight pause, and a shallow coldness crossed her eyes.
Sooner than she expected.
I'm afraid that if she lives one more day, Lin Qi will be uncomfortable.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yunqing lightly ordered: "Spread the news that Lin Qi wants to subdue the Guandu army and plot to rebel and usurp the throne." ”
Even if Lin Qi didn't mean that, she would have to buckle this basin on his head.
In that way, when the Northern Night Lord arrives, there will be a valid reason to kill him.
She believed that even ordinary people who did not know much about the affairs of the court could detect the cattiness.
On the contrary, they had suffered from the oppression of Lin Qi and his subordinates, and if Lin Qi fell, it would be too late for the people to be happy, and they would not have considered so much of the deep meaning.
"Yes." The shadow took the command and swept away quickly, so fast that only a trace of afterimage remained, as if it had never appeared.
Then, the little maid carrying the food box walked in, put the food box down gently, took out the breakfast inside, and placed them on the table one by one.
Li Yunqing looked at the little maid's movements lightly, methodical and smooth, she could do such a simple action so meticulously and elegantly, it didn't look like an ordinary maid.
In fact, the little girl's movements were deliberately slowed down, and it was so warm in the bedroom that she was reluctant to go out.
But no matter how much breakfast there is, there is a time when it is finished, so she can only retreat.
Li Yunqing looked at the back of the little maid lightly, extremely concise, and said lightly: "Stay, come here." ”
The little maid was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Yunqing timidly, and saw that she didn't seem to be joking, so she walked over quickly, and curtfell respectfully: "Do you have any other instructions?" ”
Li Yunqing didn't speak again, but lowered her head and scooped a spoonful of porridge, slowly put it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.
The air was very quiet, and the quiet little maid was a little nervous.
Although this Emperor Master is younger, he is more oppressive than any superior, and when she doesn't speak, standing next to her really makes her nervous and break out in a cold sweat.
Until Li Yunqing finished eating the porridge, the little maid was about to collapse.
"What's this called?" Li Yunqing finally spoke.
The little maid was relieved, looked at what Li Yunqing was pointing at, and paused slightly.
Li Yunqing pointed to a plate of very delicate pastries, shaped like plum blossoms, lifelike.
The little maid replied without thinking: "Back to my lord, it's called Yumei cake." ”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing narrowed her gaze slightly, looked at the little maid lightly, and smiled slightly: "You are not the maid in this house, are you?" ”
The little girl's eyes widened in shock instantly, and she stumbled and said, "What are you kidding?"
Li Yunqing lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and said slowly: "Yumei cake is a famous pastry shop in the imperial capital, the exclusive secret recipe of Qiong Pulp Xuan, and only people with some financial resources can buy it, and it is not something that can be made in an ordinary small kitchen, since you recognize it, it is not an ordinary maid." ”
The little maid became more and more shocked, her fingers pinched her dress nervously, looking at Li Yunqing's penetrating gaze, and finally couldn't help admitting: "Yes, I am indeed not the maid here."
Li Yunqing asked lightly, "Then what are you doing here?" ”
The little maid swallowed her saliva and said nervously: "Actually, I just want to see what the legendary Emperor Master looks like before I get in."
Li Yunqing smiled, and according to legend, she was just a mortal, so what was there to see.
"I'm curious, when did you suspect that I wasn't a maid" The little maid racked her brains, but couldn't figure out why, she felt that she had pretended to be very similar.
Because it was boring to stay, Li Yunqing replied carefully: "At first, it was because you were afraid of the cold, and ordinary rough maids will not feel cold in this kind of early winter weather, unless you are a pampered eldest lady." Later, it was because of your action of putting breakfast on the table, that kind of innate temperament, which is also not available to ordinary maids, and finally because of that plate of pastries. ”
As soon as she woke up in the morning and saw the little maid coming in with coals, she began to pay attention to her.
Originally, she wouldn't have taken it to heart before, but now because she was afraid that she was a spy sent by Lin Qi, she found out.
Hearing this, the little maid looked adoring and said eagerly: "You are really worthy of your reputation." ”
is obviously the same age, but the other party is so much smarter than herself, which really makes her feel ashamed.
If you weren't lazy when you were a child, it shouldn't be bad.
"Okay, if you stay here any longer, you're going to get frostbite, go back." Li Yunqing stood up lightly.
Regardless of whether the little maid is a spy or not, she can't let such a person who doesn't know her identity continue to stay on her side.
"Okay, okay." The little maid rubbed her frozen fingers, looked at Li Yunqing reluctantly, and saw that Li Yunqing was about to enter the inner room, she couldn't help but speak, "Master Emperor, do you think I have any hope of becoming a female official?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the little girl held her breath nervously, she wanted to get her affirmation, then she would always work hard in that direction, and one day, she would become a good official like her who would benefit the people of the world.
Li Yunqing didn't turn around, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "No matter who it is, there is hope, I'll wait and see." ”
After speaking, her slender figure had already disappeared into the cloud brocade veil.
The little maid was affirmed, jumped her feet excitedly, ran quickly, and walked out of the Yihai Pavilion.
Li Yunqing sat on a chair in the inner room, lying in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window faintly.
The winter scenery is depressed, but there is nothing to see.
She just waited quietly for time to pass, waiting for the battle to happen.
She is quiet in the General's Palace, because she is the most central leader, but not the one who implements the plan.
But in the city of Guandu, it is not so quiet.
The four lieutenant generals piled up everything needed to defend the city under the tower early, and the soldiers were lined up with a full 10,000 people.
The news that Lin Qi was going to rebel had spread, and the people were panicked, but they could not go out of the city to take refuge, and could only pray for safety in the city.
After all, it was a domestic struggle, not as bloody as the enemy country, and the people were not too panicked.
Groups of soldiers patrolled the streets, especially in the suburbs around the city, and there were also scouts on hand to report the situation.
Nan Xunfei wore a dark iron armor, holding a delicate and sharp dart in his hand, and his fingers flew extremely fast, reflecting the tension and uneasiness in his heart.
It has been more than ten years since his Nan family was wiped out by Lin Qi, and now when he really wants to face Lin Qi, the mixed feelings in his heart are something that many people can't understand.
"Nanxun." Chang Yuexin walked up the stairs and stood on the city tower, the flag of Daqin was hunting, she raised her lips and smiled, "What are you nervous about, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”
Nan Xunfei turned his head, his eyes were solemn, and he looked at her deeply.
Chang Yuexin also turned her head, and the eyes of the two met, but she didn't understand what he was thinking.
Just like that, the air froze for a long time, Nan Xunfei turned his head back, squinted his eyes, and seemed to mumble to himself: "Yuexin, if I am gone, will you miss me." ”
Chang Yuexin was stunned, her breathing was slightly suffocated, and she asked rhetorically, "Why is it gone?" ”
Nan Xunfei curled the corners of his lips bitterly, looked at the depressed winter scene outside the city, and whispered a little dizzily: "Actually, I am"
"General Chang! General Dragon, please come over! ”
Ground.
A soldier's shout came from the bottom of the tower.
Chang Yuexin didn't seem to hear it, and kept looking at Nan Xunfei, waiting for him to finish what he just said.
Nan Xunfei was silent for a moment and said, "Go quickly." ”
"Don't you have something to say?" Chang Yuexin frowned.
"It's nothing, I just want to be pretentious." Nan Xunfei smiled wantonly, and his raised eyebrows were a little ruffian.
Chang Yuexin looked at her strangely, and the soldiers below urged her again, and she could only turn around and walk down the city tower.
Nan Xunfei looked deeply at Chang Yuexin's back, which was getting farther and farther away, and slowly stretched out his blood-drenched palm that was drawn by darts because of nervousness, squinted his eyes heavily, and muttered to himself: "Forget it, it's a good thing that she doesn't know." ”
If she has forgotten something, don't say it, it will only add to her troubles.
