Zhu Yijun went to the cultivation fast for two days in a row, Wang Ronghe really didn't come, Zhang Cheng looked at His Majesty's face, and secretly called the people from the Teaching Workshop Division to pull and play in the garden of the palace back garden, so as not to embarrass His Majesty. [No pop-ups. 】

Zhu Yijun was in the palace back garden, the palace maid and concubine came as if they were smelling honey, Zhu Yijun was not very annoyed and secretly returned to the Qianqing Palace. On the third day, Wang Ronghe went to Duixiu Mountain to play a song, Zhu Yijun did not go to the palace garden, but let the little eunuch go to the palace garden, and heard Wang Ronghe go back to Chuxiu Palace after pulling back, and the little eunuch went back to the Qianqing Palace to reply.

"It's also an erhu today?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Yes." The little eunuch knelt down and replied, "The little one doesn't understand what he pulled, but the one that pulled it was very good, and he only pulled a song, about a stick of incense, and the girl went back to Chuxiu Palace." ”

"Is there a lot of people in the palace today?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Many." The little eunuch said, "Before the girl, there was Xiao Mei in the Chengrui Pavilion chuī xiāo, and after the girl, there were two Xiu girls in the Wanchun Pavilion to play the qin." ”

"I know, go down." Zhu Yijun said,

Wang Ronghe pulled the erhu back, Liu Jing was a little puzzled, "Sister, these days it is rumored that Your Majesty is listening to music in the palace garden, and most people go to the palace garden to join in the fun, and want to have a chance encounter with Your Majesty." Why did my sister go to the palace garden to play the piano at this time, isn't this a misunderstanding? ”

"There is no misunderstanding, I went to the palace to show His Majesty." Wang Ronghe said.

"Sister, don't laugh, my sister is not like this." Liu Jing said.

"Won't I ask Your Majesty for favor?" Wang Ronghe said deliberately.

"No, it's my sister's invitation to pet, and I should go back when I make sure that His Majesty is in the palace garden. I heard the news today, Your Majesty has not been to the palace garden. Liu Jing said. My sister is not a person who can do thankless things. ”

"You're smart." Wang Ronghe nodded her head and said.

Empress Dowager Chen asked the show girls to embroider a purse each, to test the show girl's female workers, Wang Ronghe was a little troubled with holding a basket of things, she was not keen on needlework, and obviously her skills were not very good. Wang Zhixi embroidered well, Yang Jingru's embroidery was also very good, and the rest were of average level.

"I'll make one for my sister." Yang Jingru said, "Anyway, I will have less time to do embroidery work in the future." ”

"What the Queen Mother gave is not a problem, it's just a purse, saying that the Queen Mother is taking the school as a female worker, it is better to say that the Queen Mother is visiting people's hearts." Wang Ronghe said, "You can only do it yourself, not fake it." ”

Most people hold bright yellow fabrics, are embroidered dragon purses, a few people embroider mandarin ducks, Wang Rong and like cranes, then embroidered a white crane pattern purse, because the embroidery work is general, the shape is painstaking, cut into a cloud style. There are double beads hanging on both sides, and the ears are dyed with dye to make a blue-green gradient.

The crane flies on the clouds, and below the clouds is water.

It's not surprising, but Wang Ronghe said with the eye of the needle touching his fingertips that he used full sincerity in the end.

In Cining Palace, the empress dowager of the two palaces sat around the emperor, and the palace maid in front of her raised her hand over her shoulder to hold the brocade plate, on which there were all kinds of purses, and the Empress Dowager Chen praised the female worker of the show girl, and smiled at Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty, choose the one you like and hang it." ”

Zhu Yijun checked it and chose the golden dragon purse embroidered by Yang Jingru and the crane purse made by Wang Ronghe.

"How did Your Majesty choose these two?" Empress Dowager Chen asked, she naturally knew who made these purses, "They are all exactly the same dragon pattern, why did Your Majesty choose this?" ”

"This dragon looks a little more energetic." Zhu Yijun said, "Why, you can't choose this." ”

"Absolutely." Empress Dowager Chen said. "Your Majesty doesn't have to choose a few more?"

"Aren't these for me?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Haha, of course it's all for Your Majesty." Empress Dowager Chen covered her mouth and smiled, "It's just that there are a few patterns that look at it to honor our two old people." The crane prolongs the life, and it is too early for His Majesty to use this. ”

"If you honor your mother, take her out." Zhu Yijun said. Holding the crane in his hand, he didn't let go, as if he wasn't holding the crane.

When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun asked him to tie the crane purse.

"Isn't this a purse made by a girl?" Zhang Cheng asked. "Your Majesty is really powerful, so many purses know at a glance which one is made by a girl."

"Just look at the pins." Zhu Yijun said, "The stitches are messy, I know that the female worker is not good at a glance, but she is used to thinking about her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses. ”

"Xiao Jue's embroidery is also very good." Zhang Cheng said.

"That is, I don't dislike her." Zhu Yijun flicked his purse and said.

Zhang Cheng looked at him, "Then will Your Majesty still go to fasting tomorrow?" "Tomorrow is the day when Zhu Yijun asked Wang Ronghe to go to the palace to play the piano.

"No, no." Zhu Yijun said, "She let me go to Bai twice, and she also has to go to Bai twice so that I can have face." ”

Wang Ronghe played the erhu in the pile embroidery pavilion, but it was not all for Zhu Yijun, so it didn't matter if he was there or not, she stood on a high place and played the piano to herself, and people always had a time to be alone.

Empress Dowager Li went to Qin'an Hall to listen to a Buddhist scripture, and when she came out, she heard a melodious erhu sound, "Is this the show girl named Wang Ronghe playing the piano?" "The erhu is such a unique instrument, and I guess there is no one else except her.

"Yes." Mrs. Jingyi said, "Rong and the girl will go to the embroidery pavilion to play the piano every once in a while." ”

"Is it because of Your Majesty?" Empress Dowager Li asked. Zhu Yijun often comes to the palace back garden, and she naturally knows it.

"I don't know." Mrs. Jingyi said, "But His Majesty was not in the palace when she played the piano, so I think it was not very lucky." ”

"If you don't run into it once, it's not bad luck, it's to avoid suspicion." Empress Dowager Li said.

"Go, invite her to sit in the Lizao Hall." Empress Dowager Li said.

The Empress Dowager Li wanted to summon Wang Ronghe in the Lizao Hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs went down to arrange, and when Wang Ronghe came down from the pile of embroidery mountains, the Empress Dowager Li was already sitting on the throne, "The little girl Ronghe has seen the Queen Mother." ”

"Get up." Empress Dowager Li said. "Sit."

"Don't be restrained, the mourning family heard you playing the piano in the Qin'an Hall today, and the sound of the piano was melodious, so they wanted to summon you over to chat." Empress Dowager Li said. She has always been serious to His Majesty, and she is also a woman to the concubines and palace maids, and the evaluation of her by the former dynasty and the harem tends to be a strict queen mother who is not easy to get along with. But in fact, Empress Dowager Li spoke quite gently to people who obeyed the rules.

"The sound of the countryside can't enter the ears of the Queen Mother." Wang Ronghe said.

"The mourning family is also from the countryside, and what is there is to hear." Empress Dowager Li said, "Every stitch in the harem is supported by the Li people, but it looks down on the people, which is not a good sign." ”

"The Queen Mother cares about the people and is the blessing of the common people." Wang Ronghe said. Xu is atmosphere is relaxed, she boldly raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager Li is only in her thirties now, her facial features can see the beautiful and refined appearance when she was young, her brows are often wrinkled, so she has eyebrow lines, and she looks a little serious when she doesn't smile, but she can say such a thing, obviously her heart and heart are excellent.

"The mourning family likes your appearance the most, if you don't smile, it's like laughing, when you smile, your eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and your two dimples are really sweet to the heart." Empress Dowager Li said suddenly.

Wang Rong and Wenyan laughed out of two dimples, "Except for the little girl's grandmother, Niangniang is the first to praise the little girl's appearance." The little girl is so happy. ”

"No one else compliments you on your beauty?" Empress Dowager Li was surprised.

"Speaking of which, in the neighborhood, the little girl also has a nickname of no salt." Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "I have been compared to a beauty since I was a child, and the posture of the little girl has been compared to the inferior." ”

"Others say you don't have salt, don't you get angry?" Empress Dowager Li asked.

"It's not really salt-free, what's there to be angry about. Even if it is really saltless, and the mouth grows on someone else's body, do you want to find yourself unhappy for other people's mouths? Wang Ronghe said. The little girl's appearance is inherited from her parents, and her grandmother said that the little girl looks very much like the little girl's mother, and the little girl has never seen what her mother looks like, and she looks at the bronze mirror and imagines her mother's appearance. The little girl is very satisfied with her appearance. ”

"What a filial child." Empress Dowager Li said, "He is also a clear child." ”

"Where the little girl's life has gone, I don't know how to live a clear life." Wang Ronghe tilted his head and looked at the Empress Dowager Li and said, "But if one day you can live like the Empress Dowager, maybe it will not be in vain." ”

"Oh, you want to be someone like the mourning family? Do you want to be the Queen Mother too? Empress Dowager Li said deliberately.

"The mother misunderstood the meaning of the little girl." Wang Ronghe said, "The little girl also wants to be a person who always feels that every stitch and thread in her heart is from Li Min's offerings." ”

Empress Dowager Li looked at her and smiled, "You are much stronger than others now when you have this mind." I only hope that you will be prosperous in the future, and don't forget your original intention. ”

Empress Dowager Li called Wang Ronghe to chat, and when she left, she faded a golden round garlic loach peony bracelet from her hand and gave it to Wang Ronghe, and Wang Ronghe naturally bowed his head and thanked him.

When she returned to Chuxiu Palace, she was still catching her breath, so Wang Zhixi came over, "Sister met the Queen Mother in the palace garden?" ”

"Playing the erhu in the pile embroidery pavilion, a song just said that the Queen Mother was going to summon me, and it turned out that the Queen Mother came out of the Qin'an Hall and heard me play the piano." Wang Ronghe said.

"How can it be so coincidental?" Wang Zhixi said, "Mèi Mèi is unlucky, the last time I went to the embroidery pavilion with my sister, no one met me, this time I didn't go, my sister met the Queen Mother." ”

"Then you should follow me next time." Wang Ronghe said, "Lest you murmur in your heart, I deliberately wanted to stagger you." ”

"My sister misunderstood, I didn't think so." Wang Zhixi said. "Duixiu Mountain is a mountain, mèi mèi is physically exhausted, and climbing the mountain is very hard."

"If you don't go to Duixiu Mountain, Gonghou Yuan and I have nothing to go to." Wang Ronghe said.

"My sister met the Queen Mother, what did the Queen Mother give?" Wang Zhixi asked.

Wang Ronghe stretched out his hand, "Oh, a home-style bracelet." ”

Wang Zhixi shook his head when he heard this, "Xu is the style of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are not the same, I used to go to Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother and Queen Mother have a lot of rewards." ”

"mèi mèi met the Empress Dowager Li in the future, and there was also a rich reward." Wang Ronghe said.

My sister laughed. Wang Zhixi later realized that he defended, "mèi mèi is not what it means. ”

"Which means?" Wang Ronghe asked.

"What do you mean by what my sister said?" Wang Zhixi said timidly.

"Strange, you have to ask me what you mean by your own words? It comes out of your mouth and into my ears, and I will hear it whatever you think it means. Wang Ronghe said.
