Chapter 8: The Inner Ghost
"Little master, there is a magpie in the yard this morning, congratulations to the little lord on the happy event!" As soon as the autumn water was in the morning, he said with a smile. Nian'er smiled and didn't answer her words, since Jinxin came back and told them the queen's words, a few girls were happy all day long, as if they had gained a lot of benefits. But Situ Nian's heart has always been worried, and he can't be at peace! Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and who knows what kind of road this is!
After finishing breakfast, Situ Nian asked Jinxin, who was waiting on the side, "Do you know the moon next to the queen?" ”
Jinxin saw that the master suddenly asked about this matter, and his face was stunned, and he immediately lowered his head and replied: "The slave and maid know, but they don't know, she is the queen of the queen's face, and the maid and maid of the palace have a face, and the slave maid is not able to talk!" ”
Nian Nian nodded and then asked, "Was she originally called Shiyue?" ”
Jin thought for a while and replied: "When the slave maid entered the palace, she was this name." Why did the little master remember to ask this? ”
Situ Nian shook his head and said, "But just ask casually, tell you to pay attention to the matter of the inner ghost, can there be any progress?" ”
Jinxin replied: "Originally, there was no clue, but that day in Fengyang Palace, the slave maid felt that Dongmei was a little suspicious?" ”
"Oh?" Nian'er motioned for her to continue.
"As far as the slave maid knows, Dongmei has always been cautious in her cowardly nature, and there is something about Sister Jixiang, she should be afraid and even more cautious, how dare she speak foul words to the master of the noble concubine, it seems to be too deliberate!"
Situ Nian glanced at her when he heard this and ordered: "Even if it's really her, we can't do anything for the time being, pay careful attention not to startle the snake!" ”
Jinxin replied in a deep voice: "The slave understands! ”
"Also, you go and ask if Shiyue has changed her name."
"Yes! Little Lord. ”
Nian'er calculated in her heart, this 'picking up the moon' must be the name changed by the concubine Yue after entering the palace, the queen is hindered by the emperor, and this Li Xiyue is the niece of the queen mother's cousin, so she can't help but look stingy and don't say much, but it seems that she still cares very much inside. The meaning of changing the name of your maid to Shiyue is obvious, even if you give the word 'moon', you are just a slave. This move is so obvious, it seems that the queen is not as calm as it seems.
Just thinking about it, I saw Su'er come in with a spring breeze, and the queen left her alone in the morning, seeing that there was something good coming to the door.
"How much benefit did the queen promise you, and I am so happy to see you?" Situ Nian said and asked her to sit down.
Nian'er was originally a joke, but her face changed, "My sister said this, but she blames me!" Think I'm getting hot? ”
Seeing her like this, Situ Nian's face was stunned, and he frowned and replied, "What are you talking about?" The queen is the master of the harem, and we should serve it with all our hearts! What's more, you and I don't distinguish each other, no matter what you do, my sister will never blame you. ”
Su'er closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she was already a little shiny, "Sister, I just don't want to be in the old death palace like this, I'm even more afraid that I won't even have a chance to die in the old death palace!" ”
Situ Nian was unhappy, pouted and replied, "What are you doing with these sad words?" What did the queen say to you? ”
Seeing this, Su'er changed her face to be happy, and said: "The queen said that in the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, a family banquet will be held in the palace, and then I will perform singing and dancing in front of everyone, but I think that I am not good at dancing!" At the end, he frowned again.
Situ Nian chuckled lightly when he heard this, "That day, even the emperor was attracted by your singing voice in the Imperial Garden, so he played and sang a song "Falling Geese and Pingsha", you don't have to dance for the situation!" ”
Su'er's eyes lit up and replied, "Just listen to my sister." ”
Situ Nian nodded and advised, "By the way, you have been practicing carefully in the past few days, and remember not to let people see and hear it." ”
"What is this for?" Su'er looked puzzled, and couldn't understand why her sister wanted to let her be like this.
Nian Nian stretched out her hand and gently poked her smooth forehead, "Silly girl, there are many people, and it won't be fresh if it spreads." ”
Su'er nodded with a smile and said, "My sister is still careful, then I'll go back first." ”
Sure enough, in the next few days, Su'er always locked herself in the dormitory alone to practice, and Nian'er was inconvenient to disturb, so she took Qiushui and Yiren to visit the garden every day, and occasionally went to visit the door, and disturbed the Zhuang Imperial Lady who entered the palace together and had some affection. She was helpless in the palace and young, and Sister Situ could talk to her for a few words.
After taking a nap today, Situ Nian took Jinxin to visit Su'er, wanting to see how she had practiced in the past few days, and as soon as she stepped into the temple door, she saw Dongmei peeping in at the door of the inner room.
Nian'er glanced at Jinxin, and the latter immediately coughed: "Dongmei, what are you doing?" ”
Dongmei turned around and saw that the face of the person who came was innocent alternately, changed a few times, knelt down and said, "Slave and maid, see the little master, the little master is auspicious!" ”
"Why are you so nervous? See you every day, and make such a big ceremony, get up quickly. Nian'er told her to get up as if unintentionally.
Dongmei looked up, still replied with a nervous face: "Back to the little master, one of the slave's earrings is missing, and she is looking for it!" I was startled when I heard someone call me. ”
Situ Nian straightened the hem of his clothes and asked, "What kind of earrings?" I'll call someone to help you find it. ”
Hearing this, Dongmei hurriedly opened her mouth and replied, "Thank you, little master, it's not a valuable object, don't bother you, you're here to see the little master, right?" Come in, the little lord is inside! ”
Situ Nian nodded and entered the inner room, Su'er saw that her sister was coming, so she hurriedly got up and pulled her down with a smile, "Sister, come and listen to my singing, can you improve?" ”
Su'er is good at the piano, since she was a child, Mrs. Situ invited a famous master to teach carefully, she is studious, a song of falling geese and flat sand melodious and smooth, the singing is needless to say, the tone is quiet and beautiful, there is movement in the stillness, it seems to make people see the flock of geese circling in the sky, and hear the song of geese that appear and disappear from time to time. The scenery of this autumn day is vividly interpreted.
"Shibei three days, impressive! It's a shame that she isn't a musician! ”
